Chu Qiao looked at her and asked quietly, "Do you think you can do it?"
"Of course I can," Zhao Chun'er said with a proud smile, "Of course I can do it! Do you know where we are now? Let me tell you, we are in the warehouse under the Rose Square. Soon, a bonfire will be set up in the square, and then you will be tied to a pillar and burned to death by the fire. So, do you still hope that Li Ce will come to save you? Forget it, he can't come, someone will trip him up. What do you think Yan Xun would react if he knew that you were burned to death in the northern camp of Bian Tang? He loves you so much, will he go crazy and bring the Yanbei army to take revenge? Will he go to war with Bian Tang along the Nanjiang River? Will he commit suicide and become an enemy of the world?"
"Haha!" Zhao Chun'er's eyes glowed with madness, and she said in a dreamy tone, "I will deal with you at all costs. I will use every possible means to get rid of you. For that day, I will endure all the humiliation and torture, just to see the day you fall down and die! You have ruined my life, and I will take back what you have given me a thousand times, ten thousand times! So, do you hate me? Is it very regretful? Do you regret saving me? Do you regret so much that you want to bang your head against the wall? But what can you do? You are such a kind person, all the men in the world are fascinated by you, but so what? Aren't you still going to die in my hands? What? Why is there cold sweat on your forehead? Are you afraid? Are you afraid too? Why don't you cry? Why don't you shout for help? Maybe Yan Xun can hear your last words on the Yanbei Plateau! Haha..."
However, at this moment, her voice suddenly stopped, her pupils dilated in horror, and she saw a hand grabbing her face at lightning speed, and with a slight twist, her jaw was removed with a click!
Chu Qiao threw away the rope she had just untied. With this method of tying, she could untie twenty ropes in three minutes with her hands behind her back. She stood up, looked at Zhao Chun'er who was lying on the ground with her eyes wide open, and slowly squatted down. "You are right. I regret it very much. I regret why I was so soft-hearted and saved you. But I will never have useless grudges. If I know I have made a mistake, I will correct it immediately."
The woman's face was so cold, but her eyes were calm. She tore open Zhao Chun'er's clothes and said coldly, "You may have seen it wrong. I am indeed not a person who kills indiscriminately, but I am definitely not a kind person. If you threaten me, I will never be merciful. Do you think you scared me? Do you think you have accomplished your goal? Do you think that with such a little trick, you can plot against me and Yan Xun? You can destroy us? You are too naive and too ignorant. There are countless people who want to kill us in this world. We don't care about one more of you. I don't know if the person who can take my life has been born, but I tell you, that person will definitely not be you."
Zhao Chun'er opened her mouth and wanted to scream in panic, but she couldn't utter a word.
Chu Qiao took off Zhao Chun'er's clothes and put her own clothes on her. She ruffled her hair and untied the white silk on her forehead. Finally, she took a look at her and said in a deep voice, "Zhao Chun'er, admit it, you are a waste! You can't beat me. It was like this before, it is like this now, and it will always be the same. You shouldn't provoke me because you are too young and you are not qualified at all!" After that, Chu Qiao raised her fist and smashed it at Zhao Chun'er's face!
Muffled groans sounded from her throat again and again. Chu Qiao swung her fists slowly but with great force. In an instant, blood flowed from Zhao Chun'er's mouth and nose. In just a moment, her original face could no longer be seen.
Zhao Chun'er could no longer scream. Only muffled low moans came from her throat, like a defeated rooster. She collapsed to the ground powerlessly, her hair scattered on her bloodstained face, like a dehydrated fish.
Then, she watched Chu Qiao stand up, casually shook her bloody hands, draped her bright yellow dress over herself, ruffled her hair, and wiped her face with her hands a few times. She knelt on the ground with her face covered in blood, and shouted in a shrill voice: "Someone come! Protect the emperor!"
A large number of soldiers rushed into the inner room. Chu Qiao covered her face with blood on her hands, pointed at Zhao Chun'er and screamed, "She dared to attack me! Kill her! Burn her to death!"
The rude soldiers picked up Zhao Chun'er, who was lying on the ground. She was wearing Chu Qiao's blood-stained clothes, her face was covered in blood and her original features could not be recognized. Her chin was pinched off. When passing by Chu Qiao, Zhao Chun'er turned her head and saw the sharp eyes hidden in her thick black hair.
Chu Qiao opened her lips slightly and whispered, "No thanks."
When the people came to take Zhao Chun'er away, Chu Qiao shouted, "I'm injured, send me back to the palace!" A strong wind rushed in with a roar, dark clouds pressed down, leaves fluttered, and a tall bonfire had been built on the grand Rose Square. The cold wind blew on her face. Chu Qiao covered her face as she sat on the rapidly departing imperial carriage. She turned her head from a distance and watched her powerful enemy slowly leave.
The sky was dark, the clouds were pressed very low, the air was very stuffy, and the strong wind blew leaves and stones, swirling across the ground, making low roars like wild beasts. The trees shook violently, as if they were about to be blown in half. It was clearly noon, but the sun was not visible. Only a gray light enveloped the entire Tangjing city.
A torrential rain is brewing.
The carriage was running very fast, the coachman was shouting loudly, the soldiers on horseback were guarding the carriage, and they were running quickly along the driveway near the city wall in the huge imperial city.
The strong wind blew sand and stones onto the carriage, making a rustling sound. Chu Qiao's hands were covered in blood and she covered most of her face with a white silk. She calmly looked around, waiting for the best opportunity to escape.
She had to find Yan Xun immediately. He should not have entered the city yet, otherwise he would have shown up today. He might be outside the city, but once he heard about this, she couldn't imagine what would happen. Although Zhao Chun'er was stupid, she was right about one thing: she and Yan Xun were not only each other's arms, but also each other's Achilles' heel.
As for Li Ce, she didn't believe that anyone could outwit him so easily. He was an extremely shrewd fox. Even if something went wrong, she believed that Li Ce had the ability to turn the tide.
The sound of horse hooves shattered the tranquility of the long street. The howling autumn wind, flying sand and rocks, made the scene even more solemn and depressing.
Seeing that the carriage was about to turn onto the main road and enter the Inner Imperial City, Chu Qiao made a prompt decision. If she didn't leave now, it would be difficult to find another good opportunity. She gritted her teeth slightly, reached for the dagger on her calf, and waited for the right opportunity to strike.
But at this moment, a clear whistle broke through the regular sound of horse hooves, and two whooshing sounds were heard, and sharp arrows arrived in an instant!
The screams of war horses suddenly rang out. In an instant, the soldiers of Daxia were thrown to the ground, shouting and screaming, and the situation was extremely chaotic. On the tall trees and walls on both sides, deadly evil stars leaped down from the air, throwing knives, arrows and crossbows with accurate force and invulnerability. These Xia soldiers, who had just experienced a major change, were caught off guard and had no chance to resist. Half of them were injured and fell off their horses, and the team of more than 300 people was immediately defeated!
"God helps me!" Chu Qiao was delighted. It seemed that Zhao Chun'er had quite a few enemies. If one didn't seize such a good opportunity, he would be a fool.
She jumped off the carriage nimbly and was about to slip away when a cold light appeared in front of her and two masked men in black flashed out from left and right. Chu Qiao gritted her teeth, it seemed that these people’s target was the unfortunate Princess Zhao Chun’er.
She twisted her body, rushed forward and fought head-on.
There were two muffled thuds, and Chu Qiao kicked the two men hard in the lower body. Ear-piercing screams suddenly rang out, which sounded particularly hideous in this strange long street. Chu Qiao didn't have time to look back and appreciate the results of her fight, she just ran away. Considering that the man was also Zhao Chun'er's enemy, she didn't use any brutal force. But after being kicked by her, whether he could still be a normal man in the future was not something she considered.
The air was filled with murderous aura and the flashing of swords and sabers were everywhere. The men in black were extremely ruthless and seemed to have no intention of leaving anyone alive. The people who followed behind were holding axes and would smash them on the heads of anyone they saw. Everywhere you looked, there was blood and white brain matter.
That’s cruel enough!
Chu Qiao narrowed her eyes slightly, mobilized all her strength, and ran at full speed. At this moment, as long as they could run out of this street and enter the main street, they would be successful. She didn't believe that this group of people had the courage to commit crimes openly on the main street.
The other party seemed to have seen through her purpose. Suddenly, a black shadow jumped up from behind her. It moved extremely quickly and was as agile as Chu Qiao. It approached her in an instant and was only five or six steps away from her. They ran side by side and pulled out the crossbow behind him while running, and shot it at her with a whoosh!
At this moment, Chu Qiao had her head wrapped in white silk, her face was covered with large patches of blood, and her long hair was scattered messily in front of her forehead, like a madman. However, all this did not hinder her movements and vision. Seeing the opponent's arrow attacking her thigh, she grabbed the bulge in the wall and jumped up with the help of the force.
There was a crisp sound, and the arrow hit the wall and broke instantly, which showed how great the man's strength was.
Good trick! Chu Qiao glanced at him and saw that the opponent was not discouraged after missing the first shot, but instead pulled out another sharp arrow.
How could she let him get what he wanted every time? Chu Qiao snorted coldly, took out a handful of weapons from her arms, and then shouted sternly: "Hidden weapons!"
After the battle with Beidaying, Chu Qiao was already at the end of her strength and exhausted. At this critical moment, she was forced into a critical situation and unexpectedly burst out with her last potential. Although her voice was so hoarse that the original sound could not be distinguished, the man still heard it in such a life-and-death battle. The black shadow reacted extremely quickly, and dodged in strange somersaults, but there was no hidden weapon in sight.
When he looked back, Chu Qiao had already run far away. The man snorted unconvincedly and chased after her again.
This place is remote, full of small streets and alleys. Chu Qiao ignored the shadow that was following her like a shadow, and in a panic, she kept moving back and forth in the alleys.
However, she soon sensed something was wrong; the other party's reaction was too quick. When she was fast, he was fast too; when she was slow, he was slow too; when she turned a corner, the other party didn't even need a short time to react. They kept pace, speed, and movements in unison, following her like a shadow. And from beginning to end, this person didn't make a sound!
Who on earth did this idiot Zhao Chun'er offend?
Chu Qiao was extremely angry. Her mind raced when a big banyan tree blocked the road. Chu Qiao narrowed her eyes and quickly ran towards the banyan tree. Then she stopped abruptly and her figure flashed, hiding herself on the side of the banyan tree. According to normal reasoning, it is impossible for anyone to stop suddenly without preparation. Even if the person is agile, when he stops, he will definitely be one step ahead of Chu Qiao. With this calculation in mind, Chu Qiao swung out the dagger.
