Chapter 99: Supreme Glory, Xiaoman Dies
The woman in black was chasing him relentlessly. Ji Suxian stuffed a pill into Lu Heying's hand, who was lying on Cheng Yishui's back. Seeing that he seemed a little relieved after swallowing it, she took a deep breath and moved closer to Xiao Qingxu.
She held a long knife in her hand because her whip had been split in two and was useless. "Be careful, the empress is gone."
It must be no easy task for the empress to sit on the throne of Langjiang Kingdom. Now that she is missing, they had better be careful.
Xiao Qingxu's eyes changed, and he looked at Xiao Qinggu, but neither of them said anything.
After they hurriedly passed the area set up by Ju Gongcheng, Ju Gongcheng, who was hiding in the dark, stomped his foot down hard, then picked up a big stone and pressed it down, then turned around and ran away with Xiao Qingxu and the others.
Just as the black-clad woman's gang caught up, the first few people were suddenly chopped into pieces out of thin air, without even having time to scream.
“Stop!”
A woman in black suddenly called out to stop, cutting the losses in time. Xiao Qingxu and the others didn't dare to relax, and ran for a long distance without stopping to catch their breath.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Xiaoman turned around and ran in the other direction.
"Thousand Machine Line..." The leading woman in black squatted down and took the torch from the others. Blood was still dripping from the Thousand Machine Line that killed people silently.
The black-clad woman's eyes darkened as she gave an order: "Change the route, let's go."
Xiao Qingxu was exhausted, but fortunately Ji Suxian and the others had made preparations and left a carriage by the river.
"Hurry, hurry! We..." Xiao Qinggu pushed Xiao Qingxu and was the first to enter the carriage.
"Where do you want to go?"
Along with the sound came a short arrow, which was cut off by Bai Xiaoye with a lightning-fast blow.
The empress smiled and walked out from behind the tree by the river. She took a closer look and asked, "Where are the rest of the host and Her Royal Highness the Princess? Why are you the only ones left?"
Bai Xiaoye held a knife and stood in front of Xiao Qingxu and Xiao Qinggu. Cheng Yishui carried Lu Heying on his back. Ji Suxian took off the hairpin on her head. Ju Gongcheng also held a crossbow and pointed it at the empress, staring at her fiercely.
Apart from these few, there were only five or six guests left, and the others had gone to stop and kill the women in black.
"It seems we have the same idea."
Xiao Qingxu took a step forward, and the Empress asked with a smile, "I wonder which place the lord of the building is talking about?"
Xiao Qinggu also stepped forward and sneered, "What do you think?"
The empress blinked her eyes and said, "Little princess, I am here to save you."
"Oh? Your Majesty, did you help her seize power and usurp the throne just to save others?"
Xiao Qinggu's words made the empress stunned for a moment, and then she smiled.
It seems that the child knows it.
Xiao Qinggu's face darkened.
Xiao Qingxu originally just guessed that Xiao Tong wanted to seize power and usurp the throne. Now it seems that his guess was correct, and this empress was real.
"You are from Langjiang, why are you helping her so much?"
The empress looked at Xiao Qinggu, a hint of pain and pity flashing in her eyes.
"Princess, do you know how many baby girls die in the abandoned baby tower every day?"
Xiao Qinggu was stunned.
She knew what a foundling tower was.
After the empress said this inexplicable sentence, it seemed that she did not intend to waste any more words. "Leave the princess here."
This child is the daughter that Atong saved with great difficulty. The empress will not harm her. This trip is to help Atong capture her.
Ji Suxian asked, "Do you think it's possible?"
Xiao Qingxu and the others naturally refused, and the empress saw this and stopped procrastinating, ordering: "Kill them."
As soon as the words fell, seven women in black came out together. As soon as they started fighting, Bai Xiaoye and Ji Suxian knew that these people were completely different from the other women in black and were obviously several times stronger.
On the other side, Xiaoman avoided the fight between the woman in black and the guest, and took a longer detour to where Xiao Qinggu was.
The owner of Baijialou sent someone to look for her privately. He told her that if they rescued someone and escaped from Yinxian Temple, they would wait for a while by the river at the foot of the mountain.
Xiaoman knew what the owner of Baijialou meant.
The princess didn't like being confined to her own little world, but she was willing to fight for that position for the sake of the people of the world. The empress would not watch the princess leave. If the princess followed the eldest princess's people back, she would be imprisoned forever.
Xiaoman wiped away the tears that rolled down her face.
It is her supreme honor to use the lives of ants to pave a step for the princess's path.
Faster, faster...
There was poison in Xiaoman's body, and his martial arts skills were not as good as before. He was a little out of breath after running.
She thought with anticipation that her Royal Highness the Princess would definitely be the best emperor of Dayu!
Xiao Qingxu, Xiao Qinggu and Lu Heying were pushed into the carriage. Even though Bai Xiaoye, Cheng Yishui and others were blocking them outside, Ju Gongcheng had not driven the carriage for a few miles before he was chopped to pieces by the black-clothed woman with a few swords.
The four of them tumbled to the ground, watching as a short arrow was about to strike Xiao Qingxu, who was tightly protecting Lu Heying. The others were entangled and unable to move. Xiao Qinggu was anxious and immediately rushed over to block Xiao Qingxu, opening his arms and shielding him with his body.
A black shadow flashed over at the fastest speed and was hit hard by the arrow.
The next second, the sound of an arrow piercing through flesh and blood reached Xiao Qinggu's ears. He was so scared that he closed his eyes tightly, but he did not feel any pain at all.
Mingshu, whose hands were clamped and unable to move, stood behind the empress with his eyes wide open. He suddenly roared, "Xiaoman!!!!"
Xiao Qinggu's heart trembled and he opened his eyes in disbelief.
Blood was constantly flowing out of Xiaoman's mouth, and she looked at Xiao Qinggu with red eyes.
The cold arrow pierced her heart, stained with the warm blood in her heart, and fell down with a plop, landing on the ground, blooming into blood flowers.
"......Princess......"
She caught up, it's good that she caught up...
Tears welled up in Xiaoman's eyes, but there was a hint of a smile on the corner of her mouth, and her gaze gradually became unfocused.
"Run, run..."
Xiao Qinggu looked at her in disbelief, and subconsciously wanted to step forward to catch her falling body, but was pulled away by Ji Suxian.
"Go!"
Why haven't Yuan Ji's secret guards arrived yet? They can't hold on any longer!
"Xiaoman!!"
Ji Suxian was not paying attention and Xiao Qinggu broke free from her and went straight to Xiaoman.
"Xiao Man!!!!!!"
She roared heart-wrenchingly and hugged Xiaoman's body.
"Xiao Man, Xiao Man, wait for me, wait for me to take you back—Ji Suxian! Save her! Save her quickly!"
Xiao Qinggu roared helplessly, at a loss, holding the lifeless person in his arms with tears streaming down his face.
"Speak up, Xiaoman, speak up, don't ignore me, I was wrong, I know I was wrong, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry——"
Xiaoman's eyes were empty and she couldn't give Xiao Qinggu any response.
While Xiao Qinggu was wailing, the secret guards sent by Yuan Ji to reinforce came out in full force.
Seeing that things were not going well, the empress turned around, grabbed Mingshu and ran in another direction.
Seeing that the situation was not right, the women in black hurriedly left and followed the empress.
"No need to chase."
Xiao Qingxu called the secret guard back.
"See you later."
Xiao Qingxu's gaze fell on Xiao Qinggu's hunched back. He opened his mouth but said nothing in the end.
Xiao Qinggu cried until she couldn't shed a single tear.
She stared at Xiaoman blankly, holding a cold corpse.
"I know."
She suddenly spoke, and Ji Suxian's hand, which was about to rest on her shoulder, suddenly froze.
"I know you all want to kill her."
"As for my aunt, she's incompetent and deserves to die."
Xiao Qinggu choked up and said, "To you, she is a hidden danger, a source of trouble, and she deserves to die."
"I don't blame you, really."
Xiao Qinggu smiled bitterly. Xiao Qingxu and Ji Suxian remained silent, neither denying nor making excuses for themselves.
"I'm not strong enough to protect her."
"...Where is the charity cemetery in Longcheng?"
Xiao Qinggu said in a daze: "Let's cremate her. I'll take her ashes with me."
"She likes the osmanthus tree in the princess's mansion the most."
