Chapter 774 Delaying Time

Luo Qingrou didn't care what Qiu Yuansang and An Zhenzhen thought of her at the moment.

She just stared at Xingxing, trying to get some clues from her reaction.

Xingxing didn't look at Luo Qingrou. She walked into the room calmly. Seeing Pang Jinkang still unconscious on the bed, she nodded secretly.

The dosage she gave was indeed reliable.

After all, it was enough to make six people sick.

As for whether an overdose of drugs would be harmful to the human body?

You must be kidding. Pang Jinkang is trying to ruin Xingxing's life. Why would Xingxing care whether an overdose of drugs would harm his body?

Xingxing was kind enough not to give him the deadly poison directly.

After all, he was the only son of the local tyrant in Anjiang, so Qiu Yuansang and An Zhenzhen quickly asked people to untie him.

Qiu Yuansang saw Luo Qingrou still clutching her collar tightly, looking very frightened. She hid the gloating in her eyes and came over to comfort her, "Don't worry, Sister Luo. Although we don't know why that thief tied up Master Pang and put him on your bed, everyone can testify to you that Master Pang was tied up tightly and it won't cause any damage to your reputation."

A hint of viciousness flashed in Luo Qingrou's eyes.

Does Qiu Yuansang need to say this?!

But the key question now is, how should she go back and explain to her aunt? !

Luo Qingrou couldn't help but look at Xingxing again.

Xingxing still didn't look at her.

An Zhenzhen looked frightened, patted her chest gently, and looked around: "I wonder where the thief is now... It's so scary, how about we go back quickly?"

Qiu Yuansang also confirmed: "Sister An is right. Yesterday, there was poisoning, and today there was kidnapping. It's really scary."

An Zhenzhen's face flashed with uneasiness. She was afraid that Xing Xing would think that she was the one who planned the kidnapping today, so she hurriedly said, "Come to think of it, did you hear anything last night? I slept so soundly that I didn't hear anything at all."

The meaning is to hint to Xingxing that this matter has nothing to do with her and she is innocent.

But when An Zhenzhen said this, Qiu Yuansang realized something was wrong: "...Speaking of this, we are making such a big noise, why hasn't Master Pang woken up yet?"

Even when the maids came forward to untie Pang Jinkang, he had no reaction, and just closed his eyes as if he was dead.

Thinking of this, Qiu Yuansang was so frightened that his face turned pale. He covered his mouth with a cry and took a few steps back. A trembling voice leaked out from between his fingers: "... Master Pang Pang Pang, he he he can't, die, die..."

An Zhenzhen screamed in fear, her legs went limp, and she hugged Qiu Yuansang without caring about anything: "You, don't talk nonsense..."

Luo Qingrou also began to tremble all over.

She was really unsure. Although she had taken the antidote in advance, she was still affected to some extent. She slept soundly all night. When she woke up in the morning, she saw a tightly tied up Pang Jinkang lying on the bed. She was so scared that she almost died!

Under such circumstances, she naturally did not confirm whether Pang Jinkang was dead or in a coma.

As soon as Qiu Yuansang said this, she felt a layer of white sweat on her back and looked at Xing Xing in horror.

I was so scared that I almost knelt down in front of Xing Xing!

Finally, a maid with a pale face went to feel Pang Jinkang's breath and found that although his breathing was weak, at least he was still alive.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But since Pang Jinkang could not be awakened, Qiu Yuansang and An Zhenzhen started to panic again, fearing that they would be held responsible, and hurried back to the city.

Xingxing didn't comment.

Qiu Yuan, Sang An and Zhen Zhen hurried out.

Luo Qingrou fell behind and suddenly called Xingxing: "Princess."

Xingxing turned around and saw Luo Qingrou walking towards her quickly with frightened and pleading eyes, trying to pull her sleeve.

Xing Xing was merciless and simply waved her sleeves to avoid Luo Qingrou's hand.

Luo Qingrou's face turned paler and paler.

Generally speaking, Xingxing is a princess with a good temper and she won't deliberately put on airs in front of others.

Luo Qingrou seemed to have deliberately pretended to be drunk and held Xingxing's clothes tightly, but in fact it was also a test on her part.

Xingxing did not allow anyone to force her hands apart, and she did not blame anyone afterwards.

Luo Qingrou knew at that time that this princess was a soft-hearted person.

Luo Qingrou looked at Xingxing with a pale face, her mind full of thoughts, she knew, she must have known...

Xing Xing looked at Luo Qingrou, as if she could guess what she was thinking at the moment, and said, "You are wondering, I used to let you hold my sleeves when you were drunk, why don't I let you touch me now?"

Luo Qingrou didn't expect Xingxing to be so sensitive, and she was shocked.

Xing Xing said slowly: "That's because I used to think that it's not easy for you to live under someone else's roof, so even if you use some tricks, it won't hurt. But now..."

Xing Xing didn't say anything else, but only gave Luo Qingrou a last meaningful look: "You take care of yourself."

Luo Qingrou's body went limp and she collapsed to the ground.

…

Qing Shuang tied up the two thieves who had attacked at night and hid them in her carriage.

On the way back, Xingxing refused Qiuyuan, Sangan, Zhenzhen and the others and let them go back in their own carriage.

Luo Qingrou was in a state of dismay. Qiu Yuansang's eyes flashed and he pulled Luo Qingrou into his carriage.

As for the scholars of Qingshan Poetry Society, they also heard about Pang Jinkang being tied up, and they all volunteered to guard the princess's carriage, but Xingxing declined.

The group then went ahead to lead the way, saying they were paving the way for the young ladies.

However, when the carriage reached the mountain path, the group of scholars were so scared that they rode their horses towards the carriage and said, "Yes, there are bandits!"

But it turned out to be a group of masked men, riding horses and hacking at us!

Those scholars who ran slowly were chopped to the ground!

You can see how cruel he is!

These young masters and young ladies in Anjiang City had never seen such a scene before, and they were all terrified and screamed.

Qing Shuang was so angry that she kicked the two thieves in the car: "You really won't stop!" She grabbed the knife hidden in the car and was about to kill them.

Xing Xing grabbed Qing Shuang and quickly said, "Sister Qing Shuang, be careful. Something is wrong. It should not be someone from the Anjiang prefecture."

Qing Shuang was stunned for a moment: "No? Then who else could it be?"

Xing Xing pulled out the dagger from her leg and took out the sleeping pills, her face solemn, "These people are brutal and cruel, but the governor of Anjiang is not that crazy."

Seeing Xing Xing getting out of the car, Qing Shuang got anxious and tightened her grip on the knife in her hand: "Princess, you stay in the car, don't go out!"

As they were talking, an arrow pierced the carriage diagonally. Xing Xing and Qing Shuang reacted quickly and dodged it.

But the thief tied to the ground had very bad luck. He was hit directly by the stray arrow and was obviously dying.

Qing Shuang's face was full of frost, and she quickly ordered: "Don't come down!"

Jump out.

The guards that Xingxing brought with her were all top fighters, plus Qingshuang was an excellent martial artist, so those bandits chopped up most of the scholars along the way, but when they attacked Xingxing and her convoy, they encountered stubborn resistance.

Xingxing is not the type of person who will just sit there and wait for death.

She was about to open the car curtain and get out, but she saw An Zhenzhen and Luo Qingrou climbing into her car crying and crying, "...Princess, Princess, help me!"

The guards that Xingxing brought with her could not protect so many people, so they must have given priority to protecting Xingxing's carriage. Qiu Yuan, Sang An, and Zhen Zhen felt that if they stayed in the carriage, they would definitely die. The only way was to run to the carriage protected by the guards, maybe there was still a glimmer of hope.

However, when Qiu Yuansang was running over, he fell and was caught by a thief, who stabbed him and he fell to the ground. In the end, only An Zhenzhen and Luo Qingrou ran over crying.

At this moment, life and death were at stake. An Zhenzhen didn't even bother to ask why there were people tied up in the carriage. She grabbed Xing Xing's arm, her whole body trembling: "...Princess, are we going to die?"

Xing Xing broke away: "I don't know. But I can't just sit there and wait for death."

An Zhenzhen opened her mouth, not understanding what Xing Xing meant.

What does she want to do?

Xing Xing opened the carriage curtain, took a look, then got out of the carriage and shouted, "Hold your breath!"

She threw a handful of sleeping pills in the direction of the crowd.

When Xingxing's guards heard Xingxing's voice, they did as they were told subconsciously and held their breath.

The thieves who were struggling with the guards took every move accurately and inhaled most of the drug.

The drug took effect very quickly, and the thieves soon found themselves pinching their necks, unable to move, and fell to the ground.

The guards didn't hesitate at all and directly added a few more blows.

However, there were a lot of masked men coming. No matter how brave the guards and Qing Shuang were, and even if Xing Xing picked up an enemy arrow from a corpse and shot and killed three people with her bow, the situation was still getting worse and worse.

There were fewer and fewer guards standing.

Qing Shuang also had several more wounds on her body.

At this moment, a black horse came galloping over, and the masked men stopped, as if waiting for the owner of the black horse to give the final order.

The few guards who were able to stand up, together with Qing Shuang, protected Xing Xing behind them and looked at the owner of the black horse vigilantly.

The man on the black horse dismounted and walked towards Xing Xing with a sneer: "Princess Fusui, we meet again."

Xing Xing looked at the man—Tuoba Chi—without any surprise.

There was some burnt ash on his face, and his eyes flashed with despair and madness.

"It's you." Xing Xing looked at Tuoba Chi calmly, "I remember you. You are an old friend of the Anjiang prefect."

Tuoba Chi laughed crazily: "Yes, it's me! I was thinking of finding an opportunity to treat the princess to a good meal, but now it seems that I have to trouble the princess to come out of seclusion with me."

Xing Xing's face was calm, but she was analyzing madly in her heart.

It seemed like Tuoba Chi had been forced into a desperate situation... So, it was her fourth brother and brother Yan who led people to attack Tuoba Chi?

Although Tuoba Chi looked crazy at the moment, he did not have any hatred towards Xing Xing. From this, it can be seen that Tuoba Chi might not know that Xing Xing also had a hand in it.

——At the moment, it was obvious that he wanted to kidnap "Princess Fusui" and use her as a talisman when he came out of seclusion!

Xing Xing saw through Tuoba Chi's intention and became more calm.

Since they want to take her hostage, it at least means that she is safe for now.

"Okay, I can go with you." Xing Xing agreed straightforwardly, "But you have to let my guards go. I will tell them not to chase after us."

Seeing that Xing Xing was still very young and still negotiated with him calmly despite the corpses all over the ground, Tuoba Chi looked up to Xing Xing.

But Tuoba Chi still refused with a sneer: "Princess, do you think I'm a fool? If you tell them not to chase, they won't chase?... I don't like to leave trouble for myself when I do things."

As he spoke, Tuoba Chi raised his hand, as if he was going to give the final order to the masked man on his side.

"slow!"

Xing Xing suddenly shouted.

Tuoba Chi looked at Xing Xing impatiently: "Princess, what's wrong with you?"

Xing Xing looked at Tuoba Chi: "...Don't you want to know how you got to this point?"

Tuoba Chi's face changed drastically.

He stared at Xing Xing viciously, as if he had figured out something: "You know?!"

Xing Xing nodded slowly: "I know a little."

Tuoba Chi's eyes looked as if he wanted to eat Xing Xing!

He had always regarded Xing Xing as just a vase, a princess who was coaxed out to please Emperor Jiazheng.

Even though his lair was raided and he had no choice but to flee, he never thought that this had anything to do with Xing Xing!

Now that he knew that the princess, whom he had always looked down upon and treated as a moving amulet, was actually involved, he instantly felt furious at being fooled!

Xing Xing saw that Tuoba Chi looked like he wanted to kill her immediately, but she was not afraid.

She even smiled: "Why, is it strange? ... Have you never thought about it? It is really such a coincidence that you just lost the person who holds the evidence of your conspiracy, and then I, the most favored princess in the capital, came to this small town of Anjiang?"

Xingxing said slowly.

When Tuoba Chi heard this, veins on his forehead popped out!

"Well, it's you, a jerk!"

Tuoba Chi's eyes were almost spitting fire. He roared and ordered, "Except for this bastard, don't leave anyone else alive!"

However, at this moment, a long arrow suddenly came through the air. Tuoba Chi's face changed, and he rolled on the ground in a frenzy, barely avoiding the sharp arrow!

The sharp arrow pierced straight into the ground in front of Tuoba Chi.

The arrow feather is still trembling slightly!

If Tuoba Chi had not dodged the arrow just now, the arrow would have pierced his body!

Tuoba Chi's expression changed drastically, and the guards around him also hurriedly protected Tuoba Chi.

Tuoba Chi shouted: "Who is it!?"

Someone flew out from the forest and landed in front of Xingxing.

The man was dressed in blue, with a lot of blood splattered on the hem of his clothes.

If it’s not a banquet for those in need, then who else could it be?

When Tuoba Chi saw Wei Shiyan, his eyes turned red!

This is the thief!

The thief who had been playing tricks on him for two months and had been nowhere to be found!

"Okay, you are indeed a gang!" Tuoba Chixie laughed, "How dare you walk into our trap? Today, this is where you will be buried!"

Wei Shiyan said coldly: "Who said I walked into a trap?"

At this moment, many people flew out of the forest!

Some of them were guards that Xingxing didn't bring with her, and some were dressed in martial arts clothes. Xingxing knew at a glance that they were people from Chaoyang Tower!

Seeing this group of people chasing and surrounding them, the situation immediately changed!

Tuoba Chi's expression changed instantly!

Xing Xing smiled slightly.

She said so much just now, of course not to clear up Tuoba Chi's confusion.

It's just to delay time!
