193 The Ninth Prince Leaves the City
"Feng Qingchen, the people in the dark have really taken advantage of you. They have even blocked the way down the mountain. You'd better pray that you are valuable, otherwise you will have to die with me." Nanling Jinfan's face was extremely ugly.
This underground palace is extremely rare and hard to find, but once it is discovered and the roads leading up and down the mountain are blocked, the people in the underground palace will have no way to escape.
This is why Nanling Jinfan brought Feng Qingchen with him. He hoped that the person who attacked would pay a little attention to Feng Qingchen...
Feng Qingchen bit her lip and said nothing...
She didn't know who was behind the plot, but she was certain that person would never let Nanling Jinfan go for her sake.
Feng Qingchen quietly placed her hand on the smart medical kit. She couldn't put her hope of survival on someone who was taking advantage of her.
Nanling Jinfan saw that the entrance and exit were blocked, so he not only did not stop the horse, but instead whipped the horse whip and said, "Go."
The horse neighed and started running at full speed.
"'Shoot' the arrow, it's the Third Prince of Nanling." Dongling's men raised their torches and saw the silhouette of Nanling Jinfan from afar, and were overjoyed.
Killing Nanling Jinfan is definitely a great achievement.
"Wait." The other man raised his hand to stop the archer's movements. "Look carefully at who is in his arms?"
"I didn't realize that this person really values you." Nangong Jinfan moved Feng Qingchen's face and asked her to face the fire.
Under the light of the fire, Feng Qingchen, who was soaked all over, looked even more embarrassed.
"It's Miss Feng." said the soldier from Dongling. Upon hearing this, the archers immediately dared not move rashly.
Before going up the mountain, the emperor's uncle had instructed us not to hurt Miss Feng in any way.
"Stop! The prince has ordered that Miss Feng must not be harmed." Upon hearing this, the general immediately signaled the archers to stop, and he stepped forward and blocked the middle of the road.
"Third Prince, leave Miss Feng here and we will let you go down the mountain." The generals received more orders than ordinary soldiers.
That is, they must bring Feng Qingchen back safely at any cost. It would be a great achievement for them to find Nanling's stronghold.
"Hmph, if you want Feng Qingchen, you can, but all of you get off the mountain." Nanling Jinfan pulled the reins and rode his horse slowly forward.
Since these people didn't dare to take action, there was no need for him to ride his horse and take risks.
The way up the mountain was the same as the way down the mountain, extremely narrow and dangerous. Only one horse could pass through the road. Although his horse was well-trained, it was still very risky to travel at night.
Dong Lingjiu's men simply ran up here; they did not ride horses at all. As soon as the horses stepped onto the path, they retreated.
Hearing the words of the Dongling soldiers, Feng Qingchen sneered.
Does this count as being a mistress and also trying to be a saint?
Since they had plotted against her without caring about her life or death, how could this group of people think of saving her? There were dangers at every step along the way. If she had not been alert enough, she would have died long ago.
Feng Qingchen looked coldly at the unfamiliar soldiers in front of him.
She just heard these people talking about the prince, could it be Prince Su?
After all, the person who led her out of the city and threw her out of the city was Zhai Dongming, and there was no one else to think of except Prince Su Feng Qingchen, but...
How could Prince Su care about her life or death?
These people were not lying. Nanling Jinfan had fallen into their encirclement, but these people were worried that she was in Nanling Jinfan's hands and did not dare to act rashly.
If it's not Prince Su, then it's...
Feng Qingchen suddenly felt alert and didn't dare to think any further.
Forget it, it has nothing to do with her who is behind the plot. What she has to do now is to take this opportunity to escape. Feng Qingchen raised her hand, ready to push Nanling Jinfan away, but Nanling Jinfan was well prepared.
"Feng Qingchen, you don't stand a chance."
Snap...
Nanling Jinfan whipped the horse under him hard. The horse felt pain, raised its front hooves, and leaped forward, directly over the heads of the people who were blocking the way.
ah……
No matter how brave Feng Qingchen was, she couldn't help but scream at this moment. However, she was afraid of scaring the horse, so she quickly covered her mouth with her hands.
In front... there is a cliff in front. Is Nanling Jinfan looking for death?
"Don't worry, you won't die. Remember to hold me tight." Nanling Jinfan let go of Feng Qingchen and pulled the reins with both hands, only to see the horse suddenly turn in another direction.
"Ah..." The horse shook and Feng Qingchen almost fell off. He quickly turned sideways and hugged Nanling Jinfan tightly.
“Hahahaha…” Nanling Jinfan laughed triumphantly.
With a thud, the horse landed steadily and ran forward along the path down the mountain.
"Chase them quickly." Dong Ling's soldiers picked up torches and chased after them, but because they were unfamiliar with the road, the few people in the front fell off the cliff directly.
"ah……"
Feng Qingchen could still hear their screams.
Feng Qingchen also couldn't see clearly what the way down the mountain looked like, but the whistling, unrestricted sound of the wind in her ears made her understand that the way down the mountain was the same as the way up, both circling the mountain.
Nanling Jinfan's horses are well-trained. Ordinary horses cannot go down the mountain even during the day, let alone at night.
Not long after running, Feng Qingchen could no longer hear the sound behind her. She knew that they had gotten rid of Dong Ling's people, but the danger was not over. They still had a long way to go after going down the mountain, and she was safe before then.
Feng Qingchen simply stopped thinking about it, closed his eyes and waited for the opportunity to escape.
She was almost half dead after all the trouble she had gone through today. Her neck still hurts now. As for her waist? She had long since lost all feeling of the pain.
If there was a light, one would be able to see the bruises on her neck. With her hair disheveled and the shirt she wore, if she returned to the city like this, people might say that she was being "loved" too much.
"You are really open-minded." Nanling Jinfan found that the woman in his arms was breathing steadily and showed signs of falling asleep, and suddenly laughed.
This Feng Qingchen is truly a peculiar person. No wonder the number one master in the martial arts world, Lan Jiuqing, also looks at her with admiration.
He captured Feng Qingchen partly for the Dongling Dynasty. He knew that Feng Qingchen had good relations with several powerful people in Dongling. He hoped to get some inside information from Feng Qingchen, but unfortunately he had not yet pried open Feng Qingchen's mouth.
The other half is Lan Jiuqing. Using a woman certainly cannot win over Lan Jiuqing, but using a woman can lure Lan Jiuqing out, and he can take the opportunity to persuade the other party to work for him.
pity……
His plan was disrupted before he even started to make it.
Feng Qingchen was too lazy to pay attention to this madman, but Nanling Jinfan didn't care and continued talking to himself.
"Feng Qingchen? Who do you think is using you as a pawn this time? I just took a look and these people are not ordinary soldiers. They are all very skilled. In addition, they said that the prince has given the order, so I think these people should be the personal soldiers of a certain prince.
I think you might think it was Prince Su? Prince Su's personal soldiers are famous for their formidable abilities, but I don't think so.
Prince Su is a very fake person. He holds great power but acts as if he does not participate in politics and does not hold power. If he uses you as bait, he will definitely not send out his own soldiers. He will use the people of Emperor Dongling.
Emperor Dongling will not care about your life or death, and will not let me go because of you. Similarly, they will only obey the emperor's orders and will not mention the prince.
Therefore, I guess the person who set up this game this time is either your Ninth Prince of Dongling or that Prince Luo. Considering how badly Prince Luo was injured, I think it is more likely that it was the Ninth Prince."
Having said that, Nanling Jinfan paused, waiting for Feng Qingchen's reaction. He was not disappointed. Feng Qingchen's breathing became disordered.
"Rumor has it that Feng Qingchen loves the Ninth Prince. Sure enough, there is truth to the rumors." Nanling Jinfan smiled very proudly: "Feng Qingchen? How is it? How does it feel to be used by the person you like?"
How does it feel?
She felt nothing, only coldness all over her body and extreme despair. If Dong Lingjiu was in front of her, she would definitely ask, "Why?"
Why? Of course it was because she had this value. She was someone to the Ninth Prince, so how could the Ninth Prince care about what she thought or whether she would be sad or not?
It was she who admired the Ninth Prince, not the Ninth Prince who admired her. So what if the Ninth Prince used her? It was she who was shameless and offered herself to be humiliated time and time again.
Ninth Uncle!
When the people in Dongling would rather let Nanling Jinfan go than take action, she understood that the person behind the scenes was not Prince Su, nor Dongling Ziluo, and certainly not any other prince.
Prince Su and Dongling Ziluo would not care about her life or death, let alone the other princes. She didn't even know them, so why would they care if she died?
Only the Ninth Prince would spare her life after using her.
Feng Qingchen bit her lips tightly. The bloody smell that she was most familiar with and hated the most spread between her teeth, but she didn't feel anything at all.
It felt like needles piercing her heart, like someone was strangling her neck, and she was in so much pain that she couldn't breathe.
She kept telling herself that the Ninth Prince did not like her. To the Ninth Prince, she was just a woman who loved him. There were thousands of women who loved the Ninth Prince, so how could he take her seriously?
I should be thankful that I was able to save my life. However, my heart still ached and I couldn't help shedding tears.
When Nanling Jinfan saw Feng Qingchen falling into sadness, a smug smile flashed across his eyes, and he continued walking forward holding the reins with both hands.
Now, he doesn't have to worry about Feng Qingchen playing tricks again.
This woman, no matter how you threaten or tease her, she looks like she is impenetrable and strong and independent. But when Dong Lingjiu is mentioned, she looks distraught. It seems that Dong Lingjiu holds a high position in her heart.
Nanling Jinfan's move was quite clever. On the road ahead, Feng Qingchen had no intention of thinking about escaping. It was not that she didn't want to, but her heart was out of control. Her mind was full of the Ninth Uncle...
After Nanling Jinfan and Feng Qingchen went down the mountain, Dongling Jiu got the news first and got angry for the first time in his life.
"I asked you to ensure Feng Qingchen's safety, but what happened? What did you do? You actually let Nanling Jinfan take her away."
"Your Highness, please calm down. I am incompetent." The person reporting this was so frightened that his face turned pale and his whole body was shaking.
The prince always remained calm even when faced with a catastrophe. He had never seen the prince get angry.
"Calm down? How do you want me to calm down? I don't keep incompetent people. Pass on my order. Those who participated in the operation tonight will be beaten with 100 military sticks when they return. The generals will get double the amount."
"yes."
Uncle Dong Lingjiu walked out of the door.
"Your Highness?" Dong Lingjiu's personal eunuch was frightened by Dong Lingjiu's anger and froze for a moment, then stepped forward with his head held high.
"Prepare the horses. The king is leaving the city."
