Chapter 369 The Queen May Be Reborn
Seeing her serious expression, Lin Lanting realized the seriousness of the situation and asked, "Return to the city?"
Knowing the destination, he could take them a shortcut.
Wei Qingyan picked up the cursed item and pulled Wei Shijun along, practicing his Qinggong skills while saying, "Let's take a route that will allow us to avoid assassins, or escape easily if we encounter one."
The masters that the Venerable sent to Wei to rescue Shi Dehou are rare in the world, and he was able to sacrifice several of them at once, which shows that Shi Dehou played a significant role to the Venerable.
Previously, no matter whether it was the people sent by her father and Shi Yu, or she who drove away her resentment, they could not find Shi Dehou's trace. It was not that their people were not capable, but that the other party had put in a lot of effort and paid a high enough price to help Shi Dehou avoid them.
But this time, they found clues about Shi Dehou in the Lin family's ancestral home, and even left Shi Dehou alone in the brothel.
This was inconsistent with their previous caution. Anyone who could take Shi Dehou and avoid their pursuit was definitely not a careless person.
But this time they were so careless. It could only be the attitude of the superiors that made the subordinates realize that Shi Dehou was not that important.
But the leftovers she found in the gravekeeper's house were top-grade dishes. Shi Dehou had been a king for decades, and it was difficult for him to go from extravagant to frugal. Given the conditions, he naturally could not deal with them casually like ordinary people.
The Lin family's ancestral land is not close to the imperial city, but they are willing to go to the city to pack up food to satisfy Shi Dehou's appetite, which shows that when they were in the Lin family's ancestral land, they still valued Shi Dehou.
Since they valued Shi Dehou, they would definitely keep an eye on his every move, so Shi Dehou's inspection of the cursed object would naturally not escape their eyes.
Shi Dehou knows evil magic. Considering Shi Dehou's current situation and her relationship with Lai Fengzhao, it is not difficult for the Venerable to guess that the cursed object that Shi Dehou buried in the Lin family's ancestral tomb is either for her, Shi Yu, or Da Wei.
If she knew where the cursed object was, she would find it as soon as possible.
Therefore, the clue about Shi Dehou was leaked to him intentionally by the Venerable, and Shi Dehou was also sent to her intentionally by the Venerable in order to lure her over.
She was careless.
She only thought about the cooperation between the Venerable and Shi Dehou, and that Shi Dehou was the person the Venerable wanted, but she forgot that if Shi Dehou could do it, she could do it too, and even better than Shi Dehou.
The reason why the Venerable let Shi Dehou be the bait now was because he was not sure about her abilities at the beginning.
Probably after what happened to Liang Fuzhu, the Venerable has confirmed that her ability is better than Shi Dehou, so Shi Dehou can be a backup or even abandoned.
And she is the fish that the Venerable wants to catch.
To the outside world, she, the Crown Princess, was in a coma and recuperating in the Crown Prince's Mansion. If she fell into the hands of the Venerable tonight and disappeared from public view, even if Shi Yu knew who had captured her, he would have no reason to take her back.
She might even be bitten back. The Crown Princess pretended to be unconscious to ruin the Queen's reputation. Then the fact that she was possessed by Liang Fuzhu and could even see resentment would naturally be overturned.
By then, all of this would become her trickery, and her purpose was naturally to show that the Wei Dynasty had ulterior motives towards Feng Zhao.
Shi Yu, the Crown Prince of Fengzhao, is also suspected by the people of Fengzhao. He is in Fengzhao but his heart is in Wei. The queen becomes a poor person who is betrayed and deceived by her son and daughter-in-law.
When he was sitting on the horse, Wei Qingyan had already analyzed his thoughts to Lin Lanting and Wei Shijun.
Given her ability, the Venerable would not kill her, but they would certainly kill Lin Lanting and the others to silence them.
"General Lin, if you can't defeat the enemy, please take care of my third sister first."
It wasn't that Wei Qingyan was timid, because she knew very well that the Venerable had come all the way around to lure her here, and he would definitely send enough people to deal with them.
I’m afraid that the other party will not give Lin Lanting and the others a chance to escape.
When a group of masked men in black appeared, Wei Qingyan suddenly remembered Qingwu's advice that the queen was very capable and he should not take it lightly.
Yes.
After this incident, Wei Qingyan became more certain that the Queen was the Lord.
"Crown Princess, my master invites you to have a chat. If you don't want to implicate the two people around you, please follow us obediently."
Before Wei Qingyan could say anything, Wei Shijun had already drawn her sword. "You are a thief, pretending to be a gentleman. I am not a child. I will not believe your nonsense."
They even called her the Crown Princess, so naturally they didn't want any news of Qingyan being kidnapped tonight to get out.
She had understood at the age of twelve that only the dead could keep secrets.
Seeing Wei Shijun rushing towards him with a sword drawn, Tudao frowned and drew his sword to meet him.
Wei Qingyan and the other two are all very skilled in martial arts. If they want to take Wei Qingyan away, some people will inevitably be killed or injured. It is not easy to train these people.
That's why he said those words just now. It would be better if Wei Qingyan knew the current situation and voluntarily went with them.
Unexpectedly, the first person to react would be the third son of the Wei family. His skills were better than Wei Shijun's, so he would not hurt her at all, but he was also tightly entangled by Wei Shijun.
And Wei Qingyan's skills were even more powerful than he had previously known. In just a short while, he and Lin Lanting had killed several of his subordinates.
If the fight continues like this, it will probably not end in a short time. In order to avoid any unexpected events from dragging on, he has to think of a way.
After receiving another blow from Wei Shijun, he said contemptuously, "I thought that after what happened to the Lu family, Miss Wei no longer believed in sisterhood.
Now it seems that I underestimated Miss Wei. I wonder if what happened back then happened again, would the Crown Princess abandon you like Madam Lu did? "
His voice was loud, and when it fell into the ears of Wei Qingyan who was fighting the enemy, she frowned.
The second sister's in-laws' surname was Lu. She had some guesses about the third sister's affairs, but out of concern for her reputation, she didn't send anyone to investigate.
But even Uncle Hong, who was by the side of the third sister, didn't know about what happened back then. It seemed that the matter was not easy to investigate, but the leader of the men in black knew about it.
The third sister was originally in her hometown. Logically, Queen Feng Zhao would not go to check on her. It was because Lin Lanting was going to get engaged to the third sister that the Queen sent someone to check on her. The timing did not match, and it would take more than a few days to go to Wei to check the news.
Unless Empress Feng Zhao knew all this a long time ago, just as she knew that she would suspect Qing Wu was the Venerable, so she revealed the fact that Qing Wu had a lover to Xiao Zhian two years ago.
Thinking of Qingwu's previous evaluation of Empress Feng Zhao, that she was sometimes stupid and sometimes smart, Wei Qingyan came up with an absurd and bold idea.
Empress Feng Zhao may have memories of her past life, or she may be reborn.
If you have the ability of a prophet, you will naturally appear to be extremely smart in some things.
In this way, many things that were previously incomprehensible can now be explained.
But now was not the time for her to think about these things. She knew very well that the assassin leader exposed the third sister's scars in order to confuse her mind.
She teleported in front of Wei Shijun, blocking the sword that was about to swing at Wei Shijun's arm with her left hand, and stabbed the assassin leader's chest with her right hand sword. "My third sister is right, you are indeed a chicken-stealing and dog-thief."
It is extremely despicable for a grown man to use such despicable means to confuse a woman when fighting with her.
Thinking of this, Wei Qingyan bent his waist and stabbed the butcher knife with the long sword in his left hand.
This time, she stabbed the man in the crotch.
The fat monk felt sorry for her and was reluctant to let her work hard to learn any magic, but he tacitly allowed A-niang to teach her the Lan family's twin swords, which came in handy today.
Tu Dao had never seen such lightness skills before, and he didn't know that Wei Qingyan was good at using two swords. The attack came unexpectedly, and he dodged in a very awkward manner.
Everyone said that the Great Wei Protector General was so powerful that she could break the enemy with one sword, so much so that he and the Venerable thought that her most common weapon was a spear.
It seems that Wei Qingyan is even more secretive than they thought. Tonight's mission will probably be more difficult. With this in mind, he changed his target to Lin Lanting.
"General Lin, you're so desperate for your fiancée and future sister-in-law. Do you know that your fiancée is no longer a pure person?"
No matter how skilled Wei Qingyan is, as long as Lin Lanting and Wei Shijun cannot help her, Wei Qingyan cannot defeat four of them alone.
Of course he knew that his actions were not acceptable, but he was well aware of the fate that awaited him if he could not complete the mission.
