The wind howled and cranes cried out; oppressive force pressed down from all sides.
Zihe rushed over in a panic.
However, in an instant, the sun shone brightly, and Yu Qingyi darted in like lightning to receive the palm strike.
Then, the car broke down and shook.
Zihe carried Xie Lingqin and soared out.
Meanwhile, in the air, Yu Qingyi was already fighting with a man in black.
The man was not masked, was extremely young, and had a sinister expression.
The air was filled with the whistling of fists as they exchanged blows.
The towering trees nearby were struck and rustled loudly.
Xie Lingqin glanced around. She was walking down the street, where there were very few pedestrians. Those who saw her avoided her.
As for the coachman, he was already terrified.
Xie Lingqin's face was cold and aloof, her eyes shifting in an instant before she immediately gave instructions to Zihe.
Zihe understood, glanced at Yu Qingyi in the air again, and immediately left quickly.
They exchanged more than ten blows.
Although Xie Lingqin lacked internal energy and did not understand these ancient martial arts techniques, she could still clearly see that Yu Qingyi had the upper hand.
"Junior brother, you miss your junior sister. Now that you've gone down the mountain, if you miss your master, you should go to the Minister's residence. What are you doing here?"
Finally, Yu Qingyi swung his sword sharply, and the man in black staggered back in pain.
The two finally fought their way from the air to the ground.
"When traveling, I am not worthy of being the junior brother of Prince Yi."
As the man spoke, he clutched his chest, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and looked at Yu Qingyi with clearly hostile eyes.
Yu Qingyi then looked behind her and asked with a smile, "Sister Qin, are you alright?"
"Luckily you were here, otherwise something really bad would have happened."
Xie Lingqin said she was really not joking.
If that fierce palm strike had been even slightly off, she would never have seen the light of day again.
Therefore, this man's martial arts skills are extremely high.
Just now, Xie Lingqin, in that life-or-death situation, once again became aware of her predicament.
The man, who hadn't hurt Xie Lingqin, looked visibly annoyed. "You're lucky today," he said.
"I have no grudge against you, why do you want to kill me?" Xie Lingqin asked, puzzled.
Although he had gleaned some clues from Yu Qingyi's address of "Junior Brother" earlier, he still wanted to ask for clarification in person.
"I will not let anyone who dares to wrong my senior sister get away with it."
The man was bad and ruthless, but he was also frank.
"Oh, so he's Miss Li's fellow disciple, here to avenge her."
Xie Lingqin slightly raised her chin, remaining calm under the man's murderous gaze. Instead, she smiled and said confidently, "However, you may have some misunderstanding. Miss Li and I get along quite well and have no grudges whatsoever."
"Oh……"
The man let out a cold laugh.
Seeing this, Xie Lingqin suddenly took a few steps back and whispered to Yu Qingyi, "Yu Qingyi, please hold him off and don't let him leave, and don't hurt him too much."
Yu Qingyi's gaze froze for a moment, then, seeing Xie Lingqin's ambiguous smile, he understood something. His peach-blossom eyes smiled, and his handsome eyebrows curved, "As expected of my Sister Qin."
As soon as he finished speaking, he flew away.
"Qi Rufeng, I see you haven't had enough yet. Come on, let's continue."
Qi Rufeng clearly hadn't expected Yu Qingyi to make another move, so he retreated, but he was a beat too slow and was kicked to the ground by Yu Qingyi.
Just then, Zihe arrived with the Prefect of Jingzhao and a group of soldiers.
"Lord Huo, hurry, arrest this man. He may be closely related to the case of the maid's body being dumped at the gate of the General's Mansion."
Upon seeing this, Xie Lingqin immediately shouted, her voice resounding, "He just tried to kill me."
Upon hearing this, the Prefect of the Capital turned solemn and immediately waved his hand to leave.
The officers and soldiers swarmed around Qi Rufeng immediately.
"Sir, it's a misunderstanding."
Suddenly, a horse-drawn carriage emerged from one of the alleyways.
Li Qingyu quickly got off the carriage and urgently tried to stop him.
“Miss Li, it’s not a misunderstanding. This person is extremely skilled in martial arts. Although he is using your name, he intends to kill me. We must investigate him.”
Li Qingyu's expression was not good, but when she looked at Xie Lingqin, she had a bit of arrogance. "Miss Xie, I think I really misunderstood. His name is Qi Rufeng. He is my junior brother and the disciple of the old man in his twilight years."
Li Qingyu thought Xie Lingqin would be somewhat intimidated upon hearing this, but to her surprise, Xie Lingqin nodded cooperatively, "I know." Xie Lingqin's expression was cold and serious, "That's precisely why I begged Prince Yu to show mercy and not to hurt him..."
"flutter."
Before Xie Lingqin's voice had even finished, Qi Rufeng was seen being beaten by Yu Qingyi and coughing up a mouthful of blood.
this……
Li Qingyu stepped forward with a worried expression, her eyes filled with obvious resentment as she looked at Yu Qingyi.
Xie Lingqin was somewhat embarrassed. "Well, everyone makes mistakes. Swords have no eyes."
“It’s nothing for a senior brother to discipline a junior brother. However, if it’s related to the case, Miss Xie, you don’t need to worry. This young master will not show favoritism.”
Yu Qingyi walked towards Xie Lingqin with an air of righteous indignation.
Li Qingyu wanted to say something, but Xie Lingqin had already spoken up, "Since that's the case, Miss Li, this matter is of great importance, we must first detain Young Master Qi. If Young Master Qi is truly innocent, rest assured, I will definitely clear his name."
"Xie Lingqin..."
Li Qingyu almost lost her temper. It was clearly nonsense. However, Li Qingyu managed to control her anger and gave Qi Rufeng a subtle signal before taking a step back. "Alright, I hope Miss Xie will investigate this thoroughly."
"Yes, of course," Xie Lingqin said, then bowed to the Prefect of the Capital, "Then, please have someone put him in the prison. Of course, he is the junior brother of the Prince and Miss Li, so please do not treat him poorly."
