Chapter 261: Beili Dragon Vein, No Troubles Left Behind
"Right, Master Yuwen?"
When Ji Qingwu uttered his last name, the leader clenched the shuriken and swung it at her.
"You know too much!"
The tall man held down the leader's arm from behind.
Yuwen Tianqing admitted his identity and said, "Miss Ji still remembers me. I am really touched."
He wore a black mask with red patterns and a black and gold relief of a mandala snake head. Combined with his gray-blue eyes, he looked even more evil, almost like a venomous snake.
Ji Qingwu looked into those eyes.
"Master Yuwen is a rare talent. Once you meet him, you will never forget him."
She had previously discussed with Duan Mingfeng that he should pay more attention to the imperial merchant from Xijin.
Later, Yuwen Tianqing found her and said that he came here to find his sick sister.
Ji Qingwu also wrote a special letter to ask his eldest brother in Nanchu.
Lanling, the female guard beside Ji Changlin, had a high fever once and could not remember anything about her childhood, but she was familiar with Xijin's Mandarin and might be Yuwen Tianqing's sister.
Ji Qingwu relaxed his guard against him.
If she had known that the purpose of Yuwen Tianqing's trip was Yuan Heng, she would have sent him to see the King of Hell the first time she saw him.
Ji Qingwu looked calm on the outside, but in his heart he wished he could kill this man with an arrow.
But she couldn't do it, so she could only delay for some time.
Yuwen Tianqing said: "Miss Ji, you'd better tell the truth. Where is the little prince? You are a smart person, and I don't want you to suffer too much."
Yuwen Tianqing and the people behind him approached, Ji Qingwu stepped in front of them, the light silver hairband on his head fluttering.
He ordered: "Go and search."
Several people ran towards the back of the bookshelf, and suddenly a light purple smoke filled the air in front of them.
The tall leader shouted, "Hold your breath! It's poisonous!"
While they were holding their breath and sealing the acupuncture points, two men in black jumped down from the beams, quickly struck out with their palms, and engaged in a melee with them.
Ji Qingwu didn't know when a small bottle appeared in her hand, and she casually put it back into her arms.
The amount of this powder is not large, but it is very toxic and affects the assassin's movement.
Sanchuan and Sihai had previously taken the anti-poison pills that Ji Qingwu had thrown to them, so they fought against the five of them and were not at a disadvantage.
Ji Qingwu said in a normal tone: "I thought Master Yuwen was an upright person. He came to Lin'an to look for his sister, but it turned out that he wanted to assassinate our prince."
Yuwen Tianqing said with a cold look: "The Beili army slaughtered so many people in Xijin, but the life of one prince is not enough to relieve the hatred in my heart!"
Listening to the sounds of fighting behind them, Ji Qingwu said, "You want to kill the young prince, but have you thought about the consequences? How could the emperor let you go?"
Yuwen Tianqing sneered and said, "It's not a pity for me to die for Xi Jin, but Beili only has this one prince. If he dies, Beili's luck will also be over."
Ji Qingwu said: "How can you be sure that Beili will not have a new prince? There are so many concubines in the harem, there must be one who can give birth to a child for the emperor. How can Beili's fate be related to this?"
Yuwen Tianqing drew the sword from his waist and said, "The Emperor of Beili is destined to be childless. This prince will die sooner or later. I am only acting on behalf of heaven."
"The shamans of Xijin have already calculated that the dragon vein of Beili lies in the offspring."
Yuwen Tianqing walked towards her with a sword in his right hand.
The light of the sword in his hand was also very strange, flashing with colorful light.
He asked, "I am very curious, why do you insist on protecting the son of the Emperor of Beili?"
Ji Qingwu frowned and said, "I am from the Queen Mother's family, so I naturally have to protect the royal family. You want revenge, but the child is innocent. He is only a four-year-old child."
Yuwen Tianqing raised his lips under the mask and taunted, "Do you think the Emperor of Beili can escape?"
Ji Qingwu asked: "What do you mean?"
"Do you want to wait for him to come back and save you?"
Yuwen Tianqing shook his head and said, "Don't wait any longer. The large force sent by Xijin has already begun the ambush. All the people in the villages near the Imperial Temple are ours. On the way back, we will massacre the Beili royal family."
Ji Qingwu's breathing stagnated. The situation over there would only be worse than that in Qianyuan Palace. The villages near the Imperial Temple were all inhabited by Xijin assassins, and the original residents must have been killed.
Yuwen Tianqing said: "There is only this little one left in the palace, I certainly won't leave this trouble behind!"
Ji Qingwu's eyes lit up, burning with anger.
"You pity the soldiers of Xijin, but don't you pity the innocent people and monks and nuns of Beili who were killed by you?"
Yuwen Tianqing arrogantly lifted up Ji Qingwu's silver-painted sash with the tip of his sword.
"The victors are the kings and the losers are the bandits. This has been the case since ancient times. Do you think Zhao Mingyan ascended to the throne by virtue of his kindness?"
The sword reflected the woman's crystal-like face.
"Miss Ji, why do you have to be so desperate and match up with the Emperor of Beili? He is very cruel to you. It's better for you to find someone better."
Yuwen Tianqing's gaze fell on Ji Qingwu's poisoned hands.
He invited her half-seriously, "We have a lot of good men in Xijin, why don't you come with me to Xijin?"
Before he could finish his words, a scimitar flew in from the window, hit the tip of the sword, and passed by Ji Qingwu's throat.
With a clang, Yuwen Tianqing's sword was knocked down, and the powerful flying knife went straight into the wall.
Someone came to rescue them!
Did Emperor Wu Su return? Did the assassination attempt fail?
Ji Qingwu's eyes were filled with mist uncontrollably.
But when she heard the man's voice, she forced herself to hold it back.
It’s nothing. He is not the one she has in mind.
Wei Ting's unique laughter sounded: "What the Fourth Prince said makes a lot of sense."
Yuwen Tianqing looked at the person who appeared at the door at some point, and his gray-blue pupils trembled.
Wei Ting continued what he had not finished saying.
"Doctor Ji, why don't you find a better one? I agree with the Fourth Prince Hero on this point."
"But there's no need to go to Xijin. The men in Beili are of higher quality."
Yuwen Tianqing asked: "When did you appear?"
Wei Ting said calmly: "The palace gate guard is my brother. He happened to be ill. Today, I, the city gate guard, will take over the duty."
"If you want to ask me when I was in..."
Wei Ting walked up to Ji Qingwu and said in an ambiguous tone, “I’ve been here since Doctor Ji said he wanted to find someone to go to the city gate.”
Ji Qingwu felt that he was too close and moved to the side.
Wei Ting smiled at Yuwen Tianqing and said, "Look, he's throwing a tantrum again."
Yuwen Tianqing asked: "What is your relationship?"
Wei Ting pulled out the scimitar and played with it in his hand.
"I want to marry her, but she hasn't agreed yet, so all the men in Xijin have to line up."
As they were talking, the flying knife in their hand unexpectedly flew behind them.
