In order to save face, they all glared at the palm resister, blaming him for causing such trouble!
Half an incense stick of time passed, and apart from the ingot that Yuandong had won previously, no one else had won. Everyone's faces were a little bored, and they all felt that the shopkeeper was worthy of being a businessman, and his calculations were really shrewd!
"You are quite skilled, girl!" Yun Qianmeng wanted to take the girls away, but as soon as she turned around, she was blocked by a wall of people. She looked up at the voice and saw Chu Feiyang and King Chen standing in front of her. Chu Feiyang was wearing a black brocade robe with dark patterns and gold edges, while Jiang Muchen was wearing a royal blue embroidered robe. The appearance of the two immediately made the group of young masters pale in comparison. The surrounding young ladies looked at them shyly, with two blushes on their faces, looking like standard ladies from noble families!
"Your servant greets the prince and the prime minister!" Yun Qianmeng bowed successively and then tried to walk around them to leave, but the two men blocked her way and refused to give in. Yun Qianmeng looked up and glared at them, only to find that Chu Feiyang's eyes were full of mischievous smiles!
"I've heard that Prime Minister Chu is proficient in both civil and military strategies, but we don't have the opportunity to compete with him on weekdays. How about we have a competition today?" Jiang Muchen saw Yun Qianmeng looking at Chu Feiyang repeatedly but being cold to him. He felt uncomfortable and spoke immediately!
Chu Feiyang smiled and said, "Of course that's great! I also wanted to see the prince's riding and archery skills. Today I can feast my eyes!"
Yun Qianmeng listened to the two people praising each other and was immediately filled with admiration. They were obviously two people who did not get along with each other, but they praised each other without batting an eyelid. They were truly important officials of the court and should not be underestimated!
"Then please ask Miss Yun to be a witness and make a decision for me and Prime Minister Chu!" Unexpectedly, Jiang Muchen did not let Yun Qianmeng go, and even asked her to be the referee!
Yun Ganmeng smiled faintly and said, "Today is the Qiqiao Festival. The streets are bustling with people. With so many people testifying for the prince and Prime Minister Chu, I dare not judge your martial arts skills, lest I be biased!"
After saying that, Yun Ganmeng took Mu Chun and the other two to the side without saying anything. However, Prince Chen stared at her coldly for a while, then walked towards the waiter with Chu Feiyang. They paid the silver, picked up a red dart and a white dart respectively, and found a good angle. Then Chu Feiyang smiled and said, "Prince, why don't we throw the jade hairpin on the top? Whoever hits it first wins!"
Jiang Muchen spun the red dart in his hand, looked up at the top of the bamboo pole, which was barely visible in the moonlight, and snorted in his heart. Then he said arrogantly, "Since that's the case, then I'll follow Prime Minister Chu's words!"
Everyone who heard the conversation between the two showed surprise and curiosity!
The bamboo pole was three meters high. Under the starry sky, the jade hairpin on the top was shining brightly, but it was not very clear!
Just hearing about the bet between the two, which seemed to be very sure of winning, countless heads popped out from the windows of the surrounding restaurants and stared at this place. The young ladies who were still bargaining to buy their favorite things also ran over, not only because of the noble status and handsome looks of the two people in front of them, but also because they wanted to see their next heroic performance!
Yun Qianmeng looked at the jade hairpin again and thought to herself that Yuan Dong's martial arts skills were not bad and she had seen it before, but Yuan Dong could only throw the ingot at the bottom. The hairpin was hanging so high, with a large angle of inclination, and it was swaying in the air with the wind, so it would be difficult to hit it. She didn't know how powerful Chu Feiyang and King Chen were. Don't tell them to brag and embarrass themselves in front of others!
The two men looked up at the same time, their handsome eyes fixed, and when they found the position of the hairpin, they flicked their wrists at the same time, and two darts rushed into the night like arrows... Everyone saw the two darts flying straight out, and the red dart hit the top of the bamboo pole exactly, and the dart penetrated the bamboo pole all the way to the tail. The bamboo pole shook violently due to this great force, and even the prize hanging on it swayed with it!
At this moment, another white dart flashed past the red rope tied to the jade hairpin. The red rope broke and the jade hairpin instantly fell from a height of three meters. Everyone only felt a black shadow flash before their eyes. When they looked closely, they saw that Chu Feiyang had already moved and waited under the bamboo pole, and caught the jade hairpin steadily!
Everyone looked up again and saw that the white flying ingot had split the red dart in two and was firmly embedded in the bamboo pole.
A side note: A new month has arrived, uh...,... I want a meat ticket!
【86】
Everyone present was stunned, and then burst into warm applause, looking at Chu Feiyang and Jiang Muchen with admiration!
Only Jiang Muchen's expression remained gloomy. He glanced at the white dart that split his red dart into two. His dark eyes flickered slightly, revealing a quick and unpredictable displeasure. His tightly pursed lips suppressed the anger that was about to burst out!
Chu Feiyang nodded to the spectators around him with a smile in his eyes, then opened his palm and looked at the jade hairpin carved into the shape of a orchid in the valley lying in his palm, and a happy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth!
The manager of Fuyuan Building never thought that someone would actually win the first prize!
He wanted to go downstairs and cheat to get the jade hairpin back, but when he opened his eyes and took a closer look, he found that one of the two men was the Prince of Chen and the other was the Prime Minister of Chu. They were both important officials in the court, and big figures that a commoner like him could not afford to offend. He could only beat his chest and stamp his feet, grabbing the waiter beside him and punching and kicking him, still feeling sorry for the jade hairpin that he bought for two hundred taels of silver!
Yun Qianmeng watched the two's skillful moves and couldn't help but secretly applaud. It was obvious that the two were very skilled in martial arts, otherwise they wouldn't have won the first prize so easily!
"Big sister, the prince and the prime minister are so amazing. They can hit the target even from such a high place! If I marry a husband like this in the future, I will feel extremely at ease!" At this time, Yun Yiyi brought her maid to Yun Qianmeng, her eyes fixed on the two noble men in the center of the field, with a look of determination to win!
Yun Ganmeng withdrew his gaze from the top of the bamboo pole, and a faint glance at Yun Yiyi's slightly ambitious expression. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he whispered in a mischievous tone, "It seems that our Yiyi is foolishly attracted? This is a good thing. I'm sure grandma will be very happy too!"
Yun Yiyi heard that there was no jealousy in Yun Qianmeng's tone. Originally, her words just now were intended to test Yun Qianmeng's feelings towards Prince Chen and Chu Feiyang. Now it seems that she was worrying too much, so she smiled and said with relief, "Sister, what are you talking about! Yiyi is not even of age yet, it's too early to talk about marriage! Besides, Yiyi has three older sisters, and none of them are married yet, so how can it be Yiyi's turn?"
"Hmph! You do have some self-awareness! But, even if you are the legitimate daughter, so what? Second uncle has no achievements yet. If he wants to cling to the Chen Palace or the Chu Palace, he is probably overestimating his own abilities! I am afraid that some people have lofty ambitions but fragile lives. When the time comes, they will not be able to bear such blessings, but will end up dying from exhaustion!" At this time, Yun Ruoxue, who came from the other side, spoke with sarcasm and malice in her eyes!
Yun Qianmeng saw the Su siblings standing not far behind her, and she knew that Yun Ruoxue must have seen her and Yun Yiyi, so she came over eagerly wanting to have a verbal fight. However, after the fight just now, the Su siblings had already hated Yun Qianmeng in their hearts, and were staring at her with extremely cold eyes!
"However, if we talk about good fortune, my sister's is the most noble!" Yun Ruoxue ignored Yun Yiyi's angry expression and looked directly at Yun Qianmeng. A very faint malicious smile appeared on the corner of her mouth and she said, "With so many ladies from noble families present, Prince Chen and Prime Minister Chu only spoke to my sister. It seems that my sister's charm is extraordinary. I envy her so much! But I don't know what the prince and prime minister said to my sister just now. Why did they participate in such a game?"
Unable to bear seeing Yun Qianmeng being so leisurely and comfortable, and also to divert Yun Yiyi's attention, Yun Ruoxue asked with eyes full of curiosity!
In fact, she had seen Prince Chen and Chu Feiyang approaching Yun Qianmeng from a distance just now. Seeing that both of them took the initiative to speak to Yun Qianmeng, Yun Ruoxue felt that she was burning with anger, but there were too many people between them, so she couldn't run over immediately. Now that she saw Yun Qianmeng, she naturally wanted to find out what the three of them had said just now!
With Yun Ruoxue's instigation, Yun Yiyi naturally focused all her attention on Yun Qianmeng. She couldn't help but secretly curse Yun Qianmeng for being so good at acting. She was obviously interested in those two people, but she pretended to be calm in front of her. No wonder she could seduce those men to work for her!
Yun Qianmeng scanned the expressions of the two people in front of her, sneered in her heart, and then raised her jade hand to rub her solar plexus, saying in embarrassment, "Sister, I can't remember it for the moment! If you are curious, why not ask Prince Chen and Prime Minister Chu directly!"
Seeing Yun Qianmeng pretending to be crazy and stupid and refusing to reveal the content of the conversation, Yun Ruoxue stamped her feet in anger and sneered, "Sister, why are you hiding it? Are you afraid that the younger sisters will snatch it away?"
"Second sister is right, eldest sister. What could possibly be so secretive that even we sisters would keep it a secret?" Yun Yiyi and Yun Ruoxue were at the same wit's end, barking sarcastically at Yun Qianmeng. Yun Qianmeng remained unmoved, her expression still a gentle smile. Her gaze was fixed on Chu Feiyang, who was standing in the center of the room. Seeing him approach her, she calmly said, "It seems Prime Minister Chu wants to give the jade hairpin to the ladies present! Instead of asking about trivial matters, you two sisters should think of a way to attract Prime Minister Chu's attention and obtain the hairpin. Who knows, the next Princess of Chu might be one of you!"
Yun Ganmeng's casual words immediately provoked Yun Yiyi and Yun Ruoxue to glare at each other. Their alliance immediately collapsed and they returned to their previous hostile attitude. They all lowered their heads to adjust their gorgeous and complicated dresses. At the same time, the maid behind them took out a small bronze mirror from her purse and held it in front of them so that they could better adjust their makeup!
Yun Ruoxue and Yun Yiyi were not the only ones who had this idea. All the young ladies present who recognized Chu Feiyang's identity were staring at Chu Feiyang as he walked to the left with excitement. Their beautiful eyes were filled with admiration and determination. The sound of someone tidying up clothes was heard in an instant, which made Yun Yiyi and Yun Ruoxue's angry eyes unable to focus!
But to everyone's disappointment, Chu Feiyang just walked in front of King Chen, and the two of them stood in the center of the field. Their equally strong presence caused the young ladies to scream and faint!
Chu Feiyang held one end of the jade hairpin in one hand and handed it to Prince Chen, saying modestly, "If Your Highness hadn't wanted to give it to me just now, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to get it. So I'd rather give it to Your Highness as a return gift!"
Jiang Muchen had been on high alert since Chu Feiyang walked towards him. He originally thought that he wanted to give it to Yun Qianmeng behind him, but he didn't expect that he would give this jade hairpin for women to him in public. When the young ladies who had been busy for half a day heard Chu Feiyang's words, they were frightened and pale. They didn't understand why Chu Feiyang wanted to give it to Prince Chen. "In addition to being puzzled, they felt a lot of loss. However, compared to giving it to other women, they would rather it be Prince Chen, so as not to be monopolized by others and lose the initiative!
This made Jiang Muchen's face darken instantly. A dangerous glint flashed in his eyes. He sneered, "Prime Minister Chu, you're too polite! Since this jade hairpin has been obtained by Prime Minister Chu, it belongs to Prime Minister Chu! Why give it to me?"
"Why is Your Highness refusing? Is it because Your Highness cannot afford to lose that you are unwilling to accept this jade hairpin? Although I know that Prince Chen's Mansion will never be short of hairpins of this color, this is my good intention after all. How can Your Highness bear to refuse?" As he spoke, Chu Feiyang's bright eyes suddenly dimmed, and his fingers holding the hairpin gently turned the jade hairpin, looking a little disappointed!
Yun Ganmeng felt a chill in his heart, thinking that Chu Feiyang was really not afraid of anything. He actually imitated the behavior of a girl and spoke to the icy King Chen in such a way!
However, Chu Feiyang was too cunning. Not only did he make Prince Chen bear the reputation of being unable to afford to lose, he also deliberately discredited Prince Chen's Mansion, making people believe that Prince Chen's Mansion was full of gold!
Seeing Chu Feiyang deliberately making things difficult for him, and sensing the resentful gazes from those around him, Jiang Muchen unexpectedly curled his lips into a smile, then returned to his usual expressionless look. However, this time, he took the jade hairpin and said coldly, "Since Prime Minister Chu is so kind, then I will accept it!"
As he spoke, Jiang Muchen quickly turned around and came to Yun Qianmeng in a few steps. He pinched the end of the hairpin with his slender fingers and threw it out. With a moderate force, the jade hairpin landed lightly on Yun Qianmeng's hair, causing the wings of the original butterfly-shaped gold hairpin to tremble slightly!
Yun Qianmeng wanted to retreat the moment King Chen turned around, but King Chen was still one step faster. Suddenly, Yun Qianmeng felt that she had become the target of everyone's criticism. Her beautiful eyes, mixed with a hint of coldness, shot towards King Chen, and a chill surged in her heart!
Chu Feiyang, who was standing behind him, saw Jiang Muchen's actions, and his smiling eyes instantly froze into ice. His whole body instantly emanated a strong sense of solemnity, but the faint smile on his lips became even deeper. Dan wanted to speak, but saw Yun Qianmeng calmly raise her hand to take down the jade hairpin and hand it back to Prince Chen. The calm voice slowly echoed in his ears, "Such a precious jade hairpin, please keep it well, Your Highness. Don't throw it away next time. Otherwise, you won't be so lucky every time to catch it like this minister did. If it falls to pieces, wouldn't it be a waste of Prime Minister Chu's kindness!"
When Jiang Muchen saw the jade hairpin, he felt that it was very suitable for Yun Ganmeng's outfit today. In addition, Tu Chufeiyang's aggressiveness just now made him deliberately do this!
However, when he saw the jade hairpin emitting this bright light sparkling in Yun Qianmeng's hair, making Yun Qianmeng's pink and fair face even more beautiful and elegant, he felt that his action was very wise, and a very faint smile appeared in his eyes as cold as thousands of mountains of ice and snow!
However, Yun Qianmeng's next move instantly wiped out the smile hidden in his eyes. Looking at the jade hairpin held in the air by Yun Qianmeng, Prince Chen's face was gloomy and terrifying, but he was reluctant to take the hairpin. His eyes, filled with sharp light, just stared at Yun Qianmeng!
After a while, I heard Prince Chen's low and cold question, "Do you think I am such a boring person?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Yun Yiyi and Yun Ruoxue behind Yun Qianmeng's pretty faces suddenly turned pale. They were afraid that King Chen would vent his anger on them because of Yun Qianmeng, so they both took a few steps back to the side, unnoticedly keeping a distance from Yun Qianmeng!
Yun Qianmeng, however, smiled gently, her pink lips tracing a perfect arc across her face. Then, she spoke calmly. "Of course, this servant wouldn't dare to speak so highly of Your Highness! However, since ancient times, no one can receive rewards without merit! This servant hasn't done anything worthy of praise, so naturally, I can't receive this jade hairpin for nothing. Your Highness, please give it to someone else who has made contributions!"
This was said very cleverly. It not only made Jiang Muchen feel better in terms of face, but also did not offend the other daughters of officials present!
If Yun Ganmeng said that it was a gift for other Miss Ganjin, those suspicious people would probably think that Yun Ganmeng looked down on them and gave them things that Yun Ganmeng didn't want. This would not only cause resentment but also make enemies in his own village. It would be better to expand the scope and make everyone happy!
Jiang Muchen saw that Yun Qianmeng's words were beautiful, but the other party's words clearly rejected his kindness. For a moment, his heart was filled with anger. He wanted to force Yun Qianmeng to accept it, but the cold eyes behind him reminded Jiang Muchen not to let Chu Feiyang see a joke. He took the jade hairpin with a cold face and said without any expression, "In that case, then let's do as Miss Yun said!"
After saying that, he held the jade hairpin tightly in his palm!
But Yun Qianmeng clearly heard a few tiny "crackling" sounds, and it seemed that the jade hairpin had been broken into pieces!
But Yun Qianmeng just smiled gracefully, bowed slightly to Jiang Muchen, and said softly, "Your servant will take your leave first!"
Without waiting for King Chen to speak, he took Mu Chun and the other two and left first!
"I didn't expect that the prince also has a love for beauty, but the flower has intentions but the water flows without emotion, which makes the prince's kindness go to waste!" After Yun Ganmeng left and the first prize was taken away, everyone felt that there was nothing interesting here, so they dispersed. At this time, Chu Feiyang came behind Jiang Muchen and said in a teasing tone.
, causing Prince Chen's face to turn black for a moment!
"Perhaps Prime Minister Chu is still upset because he didn't think of this!" Turning around, his eyes as cold as black iron shot straight into Chu Feiyang's black eyes, and King Chen spoke sharply!
Chu Feiyang smiled softly and said nothing, then walked away leisurely for a while. "But the feeling of being rejected in public must be enough for Your Highness to experience carefully!"
After saying that, Chu Feiyang walked past Jiang Muchen and left the door of Fuyuan Building, leaving King Chen standing there alone, holding the jade hairpin that had been broken into several pieces in one hand, with a frosty face!
"Meng'er!" At this time, the flow of people gradually surged to the other side of the long street. Yun Qianmeng was pushed forward by the crowd. Suddenly, she heard a scream from the distance. She looked up and saw Qu Feiqing standing by the Ludai River at the end of the long street. At this time, she was raising her arms and waving the round fan in her hand violently at herself, fearing that Yun Qianmeng would not notice her!
Yun Qianmeng smiled, then followed the crowd out of the long street and came to the Green Dai River outdoors. She felt that the heat had dissipated a lot, and the fresh air in the suburbs also lifted her spirits. Especially at this time, lanterns of different colors were hung on both sides of the river, reflecting the entire Green Dai River in a bright light!
Many young ladies have come to the green grass by the river. They all hold river lanterns of different shapes in their hands, perhaps waiting to put them into the river to make wishes!
Yun Qianmeng approached Qu Feiqing and saw that she was also holding an exquisitely crafted lotus lantern. The wick was a pink candle, which looked lifelike and beautiful. Yun Qianmeng couldn't help but take a few more glances at it, then smiled and said, "Cousin, this lantern is really exquisite!"
Qu Feiqing smiled, a hint of shyness in her eyes. She turned her head slightly, and saw her personal maid immediately come out with another Green Lotus Lantern. "I'm afraid your father won't be thinking about you anymore, and your aunt is gone! Mother asked the craftsman to make two lanterns, one for each of us!"
Yun Qianmeng took the Azure Lotus Lantern and gazed at its purple petals, which gradually shifted from pinkish purple to deep purple from bottom to top. Each paper petal was bound with fine gold thread, giving it a refined, elegant, and regal appearance. For a moment, Yun Qianmeng couldn't let it go, and smiled. "Cousin, when you get home, please thank my aunt for her thoughtfulness. Otherwise, I'll be left with nothing but envy watching others light lanterns today!"
Seeing that the usually steady Yun Ganmeng rarely showed any signs of coquettishness, Qu Feiqing also laughed and then said seriously, "
We are a family, how can we have different opinions? Look, there are so many young ladies here today for the Qiqiao Festival. We should take advantage of the fact that there are not many people here now and choose a good seat to avoid being squeezed with others later!"
As he said that, he handed the lotus lantern in his hand to the girl behind him and pulled Yun Qianmeng towards the riverbank!
The sun is shining brightly during the day, and the sky is naturally full of stars at night. A bright moon hangs high in the sky, making the dark night even darker!
The bright moonlight shines on the earth, making every inch of land in the darkness shine brightly, as if covered with a layer of silver gauze, so beautiful that it is dazzling, especially at this time those plump and thin young ladies, each of them standing on the river bank and talking happily, one feels that the green river is filled with sweet laughter that makes people feel comfortable, adding a touching scene to this quiet night!
"I wonder what wish my cousin would like to make today?" Seeing that Qu Feiqing had ordered the maids to light the candles in the lotus lanterns, Yun Qianmeng looked at the candlelight dancing in Qu Feiqing's gentle eyes, and spoke with a hint of mischief!
Qu Feiqing blushed slightly after hearing her question. She coughed lightly and then said seriously, "Of course I hope that the Fuguo Mansion will be safe and sound forever, and that father can recover soon!"
The antidote has not been prepared yet. All Qu Feiqing can do is to make such a wish during the Qiqiao Festival, hoping that God can hear her heart!
Seeing her say this, Yun Qianmeng nodded and said seriously, "Don't worry, cousin, uncle will be fine!"
However, Yun Qianmeng's tone then carried a hint of cunning as she deliberately asked, "It's just that today is the Qiqiao Festival. Don't you have any other requests, cousin? For example, finding a cousin-in-law for Meng'er as soon as possible!"
As she spoke, Yun Qianmeng opened her shoulders and covered her mouth with a soft laugh, causing Qu Feiqing's face to flush. She glared at her unhappily and then asked, imitating Yun Qianmeng's previous behavior, "Does it seem like Meng'er already has a husband in mind? These days, the Chu Palace and the Rong Palace have been making all kinds of overtures to her, especially the Prime Minister Chu, who cleared my brother's name. I wonder how Meng'er feels about such a brave and resourceful person?"
In Qu Feiqing's eyes, Chu Feiyang has long been the benefactor of the Fuguo Mansion, and Yun Qianmeng is actively seeking an antidote for her father, and is regarded as a relative by Qu Feiqing. She feels that these two people are a perfect match!
Yun Qianmeng simply smiled calmly. Her face, illuminated by the candlelight, was as delicate and smooth as white jade. Her slightly raised lips were captivatingly beautiful, leaving Qu Feiqing momentarily stunned. Meanwhile, Yun Qianmeng's selfless voice echoed beside her, "How can marriage be forced? Only those who are destined to be together can make it to the end!"
It’s not that Yun Qianmeng has any thoughts about Chu Feiyang, but in the nearly half a year since she came to ancient times, Yun Qianmeng has witnessed with her own eyes that ancient men have three wives and four concubines, and she has always had a grudge in her heart. She would rather live alone than share her husband with others, so she relaxed her mind, did not force things, and did not fantasize about unrealistic things!
When Qu Feiqing heard her say this, her heart sank. It was just that the destined partner wasn't something that could be easily encountered by women like them, who had been kept in seclusion. This was just a woman's extravagant hope. When it came to marriage, the elders and relatives in the clan all acted for the benefit of their own clan. How could women like them have a say?
Releasing these river lanterns nowadays is just for fun and to accompany the occasion!
"Forget it, let's not talk about this! Let's quickly release the river lanterns! Look, those who came later than us have already made their wishes, but we two are the only ones talking endlessly!" Qu Feiqing took the lotus lantern and slowly squatted down. She carefully held the lantern that represented all her hopes with her slender hands, slowly lowered it into the river, and then gently lifted the water surface, pushing the lit lotus lantern away... Yun Qianmeng also took the green lotus lantern from Muchun's hand and slowly lowered it into the river, her eyes fixed on the dim candlelight in the lantern, completely unaware that there was someone on the other side of the river. Everyone was staring at her and at this moment, the river lanterns that had floated to the center of the river were suddenly smashed apart by a huge force and all drifted to both sides of the Ludai River. Everyone felt strange and stood up and looked into the river, only to see an exquisitely shaped cruise ship coming from the other end of the Ludai River. When the ladies saw their river lanterns being washed back to the shore by the river, they immediately glared at the cruise ship. However, the cruise ship was surrounded by light pink translucent gauze curtains, and the breeze brought by the cruise ship crossing the water gently stroked the gauze, creating a charming scene that made people imagine endlessly!
Just as everyone was speculating about who was in the boat, a melodious and distant sound of the guqin came from the cruise ship. The quiet riverside was accompanied by the beautiful string music, which was truly a dreamlike and picturesque scene!
At this moment, the young men who knew who played the music immediately followed the cruise ship along the river without any regard for etiquette, causing the young ladies on the river bank to become even more jealous of the person playing the piano!
"Isn't that it?" Qu Feiqing listened attentively, then showed surprise on her face and turned her gaze to Yun Qianmeng!
Yun Qianmeng, however, pursed her lips and smiled, then spoke. "Besides Princess Hai Tian, whose family could afford such a grand ceremony? And her piano skills are so impressive, she's naturally happy to see everyone's admiration!"
As she spoke, Yun Qianmeng looked around the entire riverbank, but did not find Chu Feiyang. She felt that Princess Hai Tian had really wasted all her efforts, as she had not been able to let her lover hear such moving music!
Just as everyone was mesmerized by the wonderful music, dozens of black shadows suddenly broke out of the water. The long swords that shone with cold light looked extremely cold and terrifying under the moonlight. Water splashed everywhere, and the people on both sides of the river bank reflexively raised their arms to block the water droplets that splashed on their bodies. The cruise ship also slowly stopped because of the sudden accident. Immediately, many guards from the Sea King's Palace rushed out of the ship and started a life-and-death battle with these men in black!
The harsh sounds of the swords colliding directly stimulated people's nerves, and the cold sword shadows reflected on the water were shrouded in the shadow of death!
"Ah" I don't know who was the first to react, and screamed at the top of his lungs!
After hearing the scream, the others could see the situation clearly. They saw dozens of black shadows flying around at the same time. As long as they saw a human figure, they would raise the long swords in their hands and look at it without hesitation. For a while, many famous ladies and noble men fell on the originally peaceful and quiet Ludai River. The strong smell of blood filled the entire grassland, which was disgusting!
The rest of the surviving little maggot princes screamed and fled everywhere. The black-clothed men, who were blood-thirsty, completely ignored the people kneeling and begging for mercy. As long as they saw people wearing Western Chu clothes, they would stab them in the heart, kick the dead away, and look for the next target!
Yun Qianmeng saw that these men in black were so cruel and vicious that they didn't even spare children of a few years old. He knew something was wrong and immediately pulled Qu Feiqing's hand and ran towards the river. However, after pulling for a long time, Qu Feiqing didn't move a step. Yun Qianmeng looked back and saw that Qu Feiqing was already scared and couldn't move at all. In a hurry, Yun Qianmeng slapped her on the back and then roared at Qu Feiqing, who was still a little stunned, "Follow me!"
Until this moment, Qu Feiqing finally woke up. Although she was shaking all over and her legs were weak, her instinct for survival made her bite her lower lip and follow Yun Qianmeng to run to the river bank... 111 Yun Qianmeng led the people behind her away from the most dangerous place, while searching for a place to hide. After all, with the speed of these women, they would not be able to outrun those highly skilled killers. The only way now was to find a secret place to hide and wait for reinforcements to arrive!
Several people ran up to the riverbank and continued running along the city wall. As Yun Ganmeng was nervously observing the terrain, she accidentally bumped into a warm chest at the corner. Then her left wrist was firmly grasped by someone, and a nervous yet relieved voice rang out above her head, "Follow me!"
Before Yun Ganmeng looked up, the man had already turned around and pulled her forward. However, his silver hair under the moonlight clearly showed who he was!
Ahead is a dense village forest. In addition to being filled with various precious trees, there are also countless half-human-high flower bushes around it, which is the safest place to hide!
Rong Yunhe arranged Yun Qianmeng and the others to hide in the flowers, but he himself did not hide in the bushes. Instead, he wanted to turn around and leave. Yun Qianmeng saw how dangerous it was outside and immediately grabbed his sleeve, whispering anxiously, "Where are you going? Are you trying to kill yourself?"
Hearing this, Rong Yunhe immediately turned around, with a glint of uncontrollable joy in his eyes. The corners of his mouth curled up in pleasure, and he pointed at the flowers opposite and whispered, "I'll hide over there. There are already enough people here, it's easy to expose my target!"
Yun Ganmeng breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what he said. He quickly let go of his hand, nodded at Rong Yunhe, and immediately hid in the flowers. However, his cautious eyes were fixed on Rong Yunhe's figure. Seeing that he really hid in the flowers as he said just now, he finally breathed a sigh of relief!
Just as they hid themselves, they heard a chaotic sound of footsteps outside, followed by the sound of panting as they fled in a hurry. They thought that this precious place must have been discovered by other ladies. They immediately ran to the dense flowers as if they had found a life-saving straw... "Huai..." A little girl and her four maids happened to hide in the flowers where Yun Qianmeng and others were. She was frightened and immediately cried out. Only after seeing who the other party was, she felt relieved!
Looking in the moonlight, Yun Ganmeng discovered that the person who came was actually Xing Jindie, the Minister of Justice. Perhaps it was because they were enemies that they even hid in the same flower bush!
Xing Jindie was clearly a vengeful person. Although she knew Yun Qianmeng wasn't the murderous devil she saw outside, she could still vividly remember all the sarcasm Yun Qianmeng had hurled at her in the Fuguo Mansion. She brought her maid and deliberately squeezed her way inside, cursing, "Yun Qianmeng, you killed your own mother, don't try to hurt me again! Hurry up and get in! Can't you see we're about to be exposed?"
Seeing that everyone was in such a desperate situation and that it was a matter of life and death, Qu Feiqing was still humiliating Yun Qianmeng as soon as she opened her mouth. She was so angry that her face turned red. She was about to step forward to argue, but was stopped by Yun Qianmeng, who then asked Mu Chun and others to squeeze in!
After all, Xing Jindie is a villain, but Yun Ganmeng is not stupid. If Xing Jindie is caught at this time, with her personality, she will definitely sell herself and Qu Feiqing to the killer. At that time, losing a life for a moment of pleasure is really not a worthwhile deal!
Besides, as long as he keeps his life, will he still be worried about not finding an opportunity to take revenge on Xing Jindie in the future?
Seeing that Yun Qianmeng was planning to keep things quiet at this moment, not only did she not talk back but also made room for herself, Xing Jindie was extremely proud for a moment, and her eyes were full of arrogance when she looked at Yun Qianmeng!
After just a moment of respite, a burst of powerful footsteps rushed in from outside!
"Search, don't let anyone live!" A low and cruel voice was heard, causing the people hiding in the flowers to tense up every string in their bodies. Everyone felt that their heart was in their throat.
, they were so scared that they curled up and dared not move!
