Baili Zhe had no time to react and could only watch Sikong Zhan's sword strikes towards him. Sikong Zhan had come all this time to avenge Lin Jinghan, and he showed no mercy. If this sword hit him, he would be either injured or crippled!
Suddenly, a fan was thrown across Baili Zhe's body, barely blocking Sikong Zhan's sword. Then a male voice rang out, "Swords and knives, is this how you treat guests in Donglin?"
Lin Jinghan turned her head and saw Murong Shuo holding a fan in front of Baili Zhe. She said, "Two against one, shameless!"
"How can you be a guest if you come here uninvited?" Sikong Zhan's momentum suddenly rose, and he swept his sword across.
"Today, I just want to teach Baili Zhe a lesson. No matter what you come here for, it's best not to meddle in other people's business."
"I'm free anyway, so I'll just take care of this trivial matter today!" Murong Shuo opened his fan and resisted Sikong Zhan's moves. The two of them fought back and forth, and the fight was very lively.
Baili Zhe's eyes flashed, and he flew back, leaving the battle circle, "Thank you, Prince Nanzhao, for saving me."
He also added, "This prince is not fighting two against one." The situation is now three-way, he has suffered internal injuries and is at a disadvantage, so he needs to conserve his strength at this moment.
"Sixth Prince, you are indeed upright. Come, I'll treat you to a meal!" Lin Jinghan threw a rabbit leg to Baili Zhe.
"Thank you!" Baili Zhe subconsciously caught it. Seeing Lin Jinghan's bright smile, he suddenly thought of something and threw the rabbit leg to the ground. He quickly looked at his hand and breathed a sigh of relief: Fortunately, it's not poisonous...
The next moment, he felt a pain in his chest and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. He stared at Lin Jinghan in disbelief, "You poisoned me again?!"
"Don't be nervous, Sixth Prince. I just want to make sure you can't get involved in the fight between the prince and Murong Shuo. This poison won't be fatal." Lin Jinghan smiled cunningly, then looked at Sikong Zhan, carefully watching the fight between the two.
After another move, the two of them flew back at the same time. Sikong Zhan came to Lin Jinghan and put away his sword, while Murong Shuo flew away, forming a three-way confrontation with Sikong Zhan and Baili Zhe.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is not staying with the diplomatic mission, but has come to this desolate wilderness. Could it be that he is here to admire the beautiful scenery of my Donglin?" Sikong Zhan sheathed his sword and looked at Murong Shuo coldly.
"What is Prince Jingnan doing here in this remote place in the middle of the night? How come you can come but I can't?" Murong Shuo closed his fan and his eyes switched between Sikong Zhan and Baili Zhe.
Lin Jinghan was watching the masters fighting with great interest when they suddenly stopped. She was very disappointed and took a big bite of the roasted rabbit, mockingly saying:
"The prince is naturally here to watch the stars with this princess. Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here to watch the stars with the Sixth Prince?"
Murong Shuo then noticed Lin Jinghan standing beside him and snorted coldly: "It's just a family, what's there to show off! You always show off your affection every time you see each other! One day, I will make sure you don't have any affection left to show off!"
"Prince Jingnan is in such a good mood. In that case, I will not disturb you." After saying that, she left first.
Baili Zhe looked at Lin Jinghan, "Lin Jinghan, antidote?"
"One million taels!" Lin Jinghan asked for a huge amount.
Baili Zhe rubbed his brows and said, "This prince doesn't have that much silver notes with him right now. Give me the antidote first. I'll give you one million taels another day."
"That's fine, but you have to write an IOU." This will prevent him from defaulting on the debt later. After all, one million taels is not a small amount.
"This prince never breaks his promise!" Baili Zhe believed that he had never broken his promise in front of Lin Jinghan. The feeling of not being trusted was really terrible.
Lin Jinghan said, "Well, how about this, you go back and collect the money first. Once you have enough, come back to me and exchange it for the antidote."
Is this doubting his financial resources? Baili Zhe was not happy. He had to prove that he was rich! He took something from his neck and said, "This is a flying dragon bone necklace. Wearing it can warm the meridians. It's worth more than ten million taels. I'll take a small loss and exchange this for the antidote."
Lin Jinghan raised her eyebrows and looked at Sikong Zhan. Sikong Zhan's eyes flashed with surprise. He didn't understand when Baili Zhe became so generous. However, if there is a good thing, don't refuse it. He nodded at Lin Jinghan and said, "Take it. It will be good for you."
"Okay then." Lin Jinghan exchanged things reluctantly, wiped the flying dragon bone chain several times, and then stuffed it into her clothes.
Bailizhe looked helpless and left with a sigh.
"Jinghan, thank you!" After finally sending the person away, Sikong Zhan turned around and gently hugged Lin Jinghan.
It is obvious that Baili Zhe and Murong Shuo have formed an alliance. If they join hands and fight him to the death, even if Xiang Yuanqing is willing to help, he will probably find it difficult to escape unscathed. The key is that the other party has a large number of people. If a fight really breaks out, he is really worried that Jinghan will get into trouble.
Jinghan was still willing to help him drive the people away. On the one hand, it showed that she still cared about his safety. On the other hand, she still regarded herself as a princess, which meant that she might be willing to forgive him.
How could he not be happy and moved by this?!
"Let go!" He keeps hugging her. Doesn't that mean she can't eat properly? Lin Jinghan was unhappy.
Sikong Zhan's body suddenly stiffened, and he let go of her hand woodenly, his expression deeply hurt. Could it be that he was wrong? Was she still angry? Or was she unwilling to forgive him?
Lin Jinghan ignored Sikong Zhan and finished eating the roasted rabbit in her hand. After cleaning up, she said to Xiang Yuanqing:
"Senior, today's work is over. I'd beg you to rest here for one night. We'll set off early tomorrow morning to get medicine from the city. Is that okay?"
"Okay!" Xiang Yuanqing agreed with a smile.
Lin Jinghan returned to the carriage and lay there for a long time. She was so upset that she couldn't fall asleep. Finally, she had no choice but to use gold needles to prick her acupuncture points, and finally she fell asleep.
Sikong Zhan had been standing outside the carriage, staring at the curtain in a daze.
Xiang Yuanqing looked at Sikong Zhan, his eyes full of teasing, "Prince Jingnan, are you still not resting? Are you looking at the stars?"
Sikong Zhan shook his head, looking melancholy, and ignored Xiang Yuanqing's joke, "Master Xiang, you guys should rest. I'll keep watch tonight."
The driver already knew Sikong Zhan's identity from their conversations, so he didn't dare ask him to keep watch. He quickly bowed and said, "Your Highness, I will take care of the night watch. You can go and rest."
Sikong Zhan waved his hand and said nothing more.
The driver was very tactful and found a corner to lie down.
On the other side, Murong Shuo and Baili Zhe went to a secret place one after another.
Baili Zhe sent someone to push a cart of things in front of Murong Shuo. Murong Shuo carefully checked it and said with a smile, "Sixth Prince, it seems that there is something missing from what we discussed?"
Knowing Murong Shuo would say this, Baili Zhe said confidently, "I will send someone to replace the missing ten dragon pearls after I return home."
"Then there's no need to be so troublesome. How about, Sixth Prince, do me a favor?" Murong Shuo ordered someone to take out the prepared things and gave them directly to the Sixth Prince.
