Chapter 259, It’s a Heart-Thumping Feeling

Outside the city gate of Yang Mansion, the killers lurking in the dark retreated quietly; inside the city gate, the officials who had previously turned a blind eye to the attack and murder of the eldest prince were extremely frightened.

"Sir, what should we do now? Open the city gate?"

"What the hell, you didn't open it just now, but open it now. Doesn't this clearly tell the eldest prince that we know that he was attacked and killed? Just wait, wait for the eldest prince's people to call the door, and then let the gatekeeper take the blame. He said he fell asleep after drinking at night.”

"Is this okay?"

"You have to do it even if you don't do it. Compared with turning a blind eye to the attack and murder of the eldest prince, the punishment for dereliction of duty will be lighter."

On the city tower, Shi Fuxin 'watched' the small movements of the officials in the city. Knowing that Chu Yao was there, the eldest prince would be fine, she immediately jumped up and quickly disappeared into Yangcheng shrouded in the night.

When Chu Yao saw it, he immediately flew up to the city tower. During the process, a stone popped out and hit the city gate with a bang. He said loudly: "The eldest prince is here, open the city gate quickly."

After getting up to the city tower, Chu Yao's eyes were fixed on the white figure flying rapidly on the eaves. When he saw the black-robed guards he had brought with him arrived, escorting the eldest prince towards the city gate, he quickly flew after him. past.

After driving for several days, Shi Fuxin was tired. She was thinking of finding a place to rest first, and then going to see her brother, but she never thought that Chu Yao was chasing her.

Why is this guy chasing her?

Shi Fuxin looked back at Chu Yao who was catching up, raised her eyebrows, and started flying over the eaves at full speed.

It's hard to find a top master, so Chu Yao is a good sparring partner.

So, in Yangfu City under the moonlit night, two figures, one white and one black, were like ghosts, speeding one after another on the eaves.

In the night sky, there were sounds of breaking through the sky from time to time.

The sound was not loud. If you were not a ninth-grade warrior or above, you would not be able to detect the source of the sound.

It was the sound of leaves and flying knives colliding.

"Hey~"

The leaves split into two and fell to the ground quietly.

The trajectory of the flying knife bounces, or inserts into the wall, or into the ground.

In this contest in the air, both of them were very measured and did not make too much noise. They were both trying to get a feel for each other's depth.

Chu Yao: This Bai Yueguang is definitely the ultimate master, and his internal strength is not inferior to him.

Shi Fuxin: Chu Yao's martial arts skills have improved again. He is truly a martial arts genius with excellent bones. He has inherited the top internal strength, and with his own training, he is even more powerful now.

Chu Yao really wanted to have a fight with Bai Yueguang, but unfortunately the opponent was so outstanding that he could never get close to him.

"Boom~"

Just when Chu Yao was thinking about how to catch up with Bai Yueguang, a thunder suddenly sounded in the night sky.

There has been a severe drought in Jianghan for two consecutive years. After winter, there were only a few sporadic light rains. Now when the sound of thunder was heard, the sleeping people in Jianghan were awakened and smiled with joy.

The thunder was so loud that it was going to rain heavily.

Amidst the roaring thunder, a bolt of lightning pierced the night sky.

Chu Yao was surprised to see that the moment the lightning appeared, Bai Yueguang, who had been as light as a swallow before, stumbled and fell directly from the eaves, hitting the ground with a 'bang'.

Five-body cast!

Then, another bolt of lightning pierced the night sky.

Then, Chu Yao clearly saw Bai Yueguang, who had just struggled to get up from the ground, trembled and almost fell to the ground again.

Chu Yao looked stunned. Is this Bai Yueguang afraid of thunder and lightning?

It’s so bizarre!

Chu Yao was astonished, realized that the opportunity had come, and quickly rushed towards Bai Yueguang.

"Boom~"

There was still lightning and thunder in the night sky, and it was getting worse.

Shi Fuxin was struck to death by lightning in her previous life. As long as she was exposed to lightning, deep fear would instinctively burst out from the depths of her soul, and her hands and feet would become weak for a moment.

Shi Fuxin couldn't control her shock. When she forced herself to calm down, she found that Chu Yao had come closer, more than ten meters away.

Under the lightning and thunder, strong winds blew in the air, blowing dust and leaves.

Shi Fuxin swung away the folding fan in her hand and waved it several times in the direction Chu Yao was running. In an instant, the leaves that were flying in the air fiercely attacked Chu Yao as if they had received an order.

Chu Yao could clearly see how the black-clothed killer's throat was cut silently by the leaves and he had no ability to fight back. When he saw the leaves coming, he had to stop and deal with it with all his strength.

When Chu Yao broke through the attack of leaves, there was no sign of Bai Yueguang on the street.

"White Moonlight"

Chu Yao raised his right hand and looked at the bleeding back of his hand, his expression slightly condensed.

The flying leaves just lightly scratched the back of his hand, leaving such a wound. Bai Yueguang's inner strength was deeper than he imagined!

Chu Yao stood on the stormy street, silently staring in the direction where the white moonlight disappeared. After a long while, he quickly turned around and went to find the eldest prince.

Just when the eldest prince, escorted by Chu Yao and the black-robed guards, entered the Chief Envoy's Mansion to rest, a hundred miles away from Yangcheng, Anguo Duke Xiao Ziqing was not so lucky.

All the guards protecting Xiao Ziqing were killed. Just when Xiao Ziqing thought he was about to die, the killer in black knocked him out with a palm.

When Xiao Ziqing woke up again, he found that his hands were tied behind his back, his feet were also tied, and his mouth was stuffed with cloth. He was lying in a carriage, with his attendant Duofu who was all injured beside him.

In order to protect Xiao Ziqing, Duofu was stabbed several times and his clothes were dyed red.

Seeing Duofu's chest still rising and falling, Xiao Ziqing breathed a sigh of relief and then looked around the carriage.

There was nothing in the carriage, the windows were fixed shut, and no voices could be heard outside. The carriage was only moving fast.

Xiao Ziqing's face was solemn. After thinking for a while, he used his bound legs to shake the unconscious Duofu gently until he was sweating profusely. Then Duofu slowly opened his eyes.

"Woo woo~"

Duofu, who was also bound, struggled to sit up. Seeing this, Xiao Ziqing quickly shook his head at him.

Duofu was injured and it was not easy for him to move.

Xiao Ziqing twisted his body and moved to Duofu's bound hands, motioning him to take out the cloth strip from his mouth.

"Take the cloth strip in your hand."

As soon as the cloth strip from his mouth was taken away, Xiao Ziqing quickly whispered, "I'll untie the rope for you first."

Duofu 'woo'ed twice. This kind of thing should be done by him, how could he let the Duke do it.

Xiao Ziqing ignored him and started biting the rope that bound Duofu's hands.

The rope was tied so tightly that the corners of Xiao Ziqing's mouth were worn out, and the rope loosened a little.

Time passed little by little, and when the rope was about to be untied, a voice was heard outside the carriage.

"We'll be in Shuncheng soon."

Shuncheng?

Xiao Ziqing's face was refreshed. Shuncheng was in the northwest of Yangcheng, a must-go place to return to Beijing. It was more than 400 miles away from Yangcheng. Judging from the speed of the carriage, they should have been unconscious for a day and a night.

The killer did not kill them, but brought them to Shuncheng. What does this mean?

"Quick, put the cloth in my mouth."

Xiao Ziqing lowered his head, and Duofu immediately stuffed the cloth into his mouth.

Not long after, the carriage stopped.

A quarter of an hour later, the carriage door was opened with a creak.

A burly man dressed as a farmer came in with a kettle and two dry biscuits.

Seeing the master and servant wake up, the strong man was not surprised. He took out the cloth strip from Xiao Ziqing's mouth and handed the dry biscuit to Xiao Ziqing's mouth: "Eat." He did not mean to untie his hands.

Xiao Ziqing glanced at him, and did not pretend. He opened his mouth and ate very sensibly.

Seeing this, the strong man raised his eyebrows. After Xiao Ziqing took a few bites of dry biscuits, he fed him a mouthful of water. After Xiao Ziqing finished eating, he stuffed the cloth strip into his mouth again, and then went to feed Duofu.

Duofu's treatment was not so good. The dry biscuits were fed in a hurry, and he was not given a few sips of water.

After the two finished eating, the strong man got off the carriage.

Xiao Ziqing listened to the movement outside the carriage, and heard the people guarding outside the carriage eating. He twisted to Duofu again, motioned him to take out the cloth in his mouth, and continued to bite the rope.

Hard work pays off, and the rope on Duofu's hands was untied.

As soon as his hands were free, Duofu immediately wanted to untie Xiao Ziqing.

Xiao Ziqing said hurriedly: "Untie your own first."

Duofu had no choice but to untie the rope on his legs first, and then untie Xiao Ziqing.

When the car door was just opened, Xiao Ziqing and Duofu quickly glanced outside the car.

The carriage did not enter the city, but stopped in front of the teahouse on the official road.

At this moment, it was noon, and there were many guests in the teahouse, and the voices were noisy.

The carriage stopped outside the teahouse, and two killers were guarding the door.

Escape from the door would inevitably alert the killers, so Duofu thought of the window.

Under the cover of the noise, Duofu forcibly pulled out the wooden stick that fixed the window, and then quietly opened the window, protecting Xiao Ziqing and escaping from the carriage.

As soon as the two got off the carriage, the dark and strong man came back again.

Duofu heard the sound, looked around, and saw that there was no place to hide around, so he had to pull Xiao Ziqing to hide in the teahouse.

At this moment, at the left corner of the teahouse facing the road, Shi Fuyin, wearing a black veil and a black dress, was eating quickly, with two ninth-rank guards sitting beside her.

The more she thought about her sister leaving Beijing, the more worried she became. After finding a good reason to appease her family, she quietly left Beijing with her guards and headed straight for Jianghan.

"Miss, there is something going on."

The two guards looked at the group of people who rushed into the teahouse.

Shi Fuyin also looked over quickly and saw that the group of people dragged people around to check as soon as they came in. In an instant, the whole teahouse was in chaos.

"Let's go."

Shi Fuyin stood up, put a piece of silver on the table, and was about to leave. Just as she passed the two guest tables in the corner, she saw two figures hurriedly dodging in the crowd from the corner of her eyes.

Shi Fuyin ignored it and went straight out of the teahouse. Just as she got on the horse, she suddenly heard a panicked roar.

"Duke!"

Duke? !

Shi Fuyin turned back suddenly and saw that the Duke of Anguo rushed to his personal attendant, trying to block the knife for him.

His heart seemed to be hit by something. Without any thought, Shi Fuyin jumped up, stepped on the horse's back, and with a "swish", the long sword was unsheathed and hit the strong man who attacked Xiao Ziqing.

"Swish~"

Even if Shi Fuyin was faster, the strong man's knife still landed on Xiao Ziqing's shoulder first, and blood oozed out in an instant.

Shi Fuyin arrived, swung the long sword in her hand, and the strong man fell to the ground.

"Duke of Anguo!"

Shi Fuyin supported Xiao Ziqing who was leaning back.

At this moment, Xiao Ziqing was sweating profusely, and his face was painful because of the severe pain from his shoulder. Looking at the black-clothed woman with a veil covering her face, his eyes were surprised and happy.

He recognized the voice of the person coming.

"Miss Shi San?"

Shi Fuyin did not respond, but hugged Xiao Ziqing's waist, turned around quickly, and avoided the attacking killer.

Then, holding Xiao Ziqing in one hand and swinging the long sword in the other, he tried his best to deal with the killers who were rushing over.

There were quite a few killers who wanted to capture Duke Anguo, more than 20 of them, including one peak ninth-grade, two ninth-grade, and the others were seventh and eighth-grade.

The two guards were stopped by the two ninth-grade, and the others all attacked Shi Fuyin.

Duke Anguo felt that his body was not his own, and he let Shi Fuyin lead him around. At this moment, he seemed to be unable to feel the existence of the outside world, and there was only one person left in his heart and eyes.

The sword light swept across, so fast that it was dazzling, and the killers fell one after another.

The peak ninth-grade killer saw it, and wanted to escape, but at this time, the two guards had already dealt with the two ninth-grade and quickly ran towards Shi Fuyin.

With the reinforcement of the two guards, the sword in Shi Fuyin's hand was as fast as lightning and cut the neck of the peak ninth-grade killer.

In a quarter of an hour, all the killers fell to the ground.

"Duke Anguo"

Shi Fuyin stopped and found that Duke Anguo was staring at him blankly. He called him several times but got no response, so he had to wave his hand in front of him.

"Duke Anguo, are you okay?"

Xiao Ziqing's mind was full of Shi Fuyin's heroic figure. Seeing her slender jade fingers waving in front of him, he closed his eyes and fainted.

When Xiao Ziqing woke up again, he was in the comfortable and safe Shuncheng Inn.

Xiao Ziqing blinked his eyes and was completely awake. Thinking of the killer who was chasing him, he sat up suddenly.

"Hiss~"

Xiao Ziqing realized that he was naked and had a white bandage on his shoulder. Because he pulled the wound when he stood up, blood immediately seeped out of the white bandage.

However, he didn't care about the pain and looked straight at the woman in black who was sleeping on the table not far away.

"I'm not dreaming!"

It was really her, the third daughter of the Shi family, Shi Fuyin.

She saved him.

Xiao Ziqing struggled to get out of bed, and just as he put on his shoes, he heard Shi Fuyin's surprised voice.

"Duke Anguo, you're awake!"

Seeing Shi Fuyin walk in with a smile, Xiao Ziqing's ears turned red. He was not wearing any clothes now. While he was embarrassed, his heart was beating uncontrollably.

"Thank you for saving my life, Miss Shi San. I wonder how my follower is doing?"

Shi Fuyin saw that the first thing Xiao Ziqing asked about his follower when he woke up, and her impression of him improved a little: "He was seriously injured, but he has been given medicine. I asked two guards to watch him. Don't worry."

As she spoke, she saw the bloodstain on his shoulder and frowned, "Your wound has split again. Don't move. I'll give you some more medicine."

Xiao Ziqing was embarrassed to let a girl see his naked body. He wanted to refuse, but seeing that Shi Fuyin had already come with the medicine, he could only bite the bullet and keep silent.

Watching Shi Fuyin untie the bandages gently, Xiao Ziqing suddenly remembered that she had taken off his clothes before, right?

When Xiao Ziqing thought of this, his ears turned redder.

After untying the bandages, Shi Fuyin prepared to apply medicine.

"It will be a little painful, just bear with it."

Shi Fuyin looked at Xiao Ziqing and asked him to be mentally prepared, but found that his face was red, and was immediately shocked: "Oh no, is the wound infected and feverish?"

As she said that, she reached out and touched Xiao Ziqing's forehead.

Shi Fuyin touched Xiao Ziqing's forehead, and the back of her hand suddenly felt burning.

When Shi Fuyin's hand touched him, Xiao Ziqing felt a cool air coming down from his head, quickly suppressing the heat in his body.

The two people's eyes met in the air, paused for a moment, and then suddenly separated as if they were electrocuted.

Xiao Ziqing turned his head away and did not dare to look at Shi Fuyin.

When Shi Fuyin noticed Xiao Ziqing's red ears, she thought of something, and her ears also turned red.

At this moment, both of them felt that their hearts were about to jump out, and the sound of "boom boom boom" hit the eardrums, and they couldn't tell whether it was their own heartbeat or the other's.

"I'm starting to apply the medicine."

"Yeah."

"It hurts a little."

Xiao Ziqing didn't want to be looked down upon by Shi Fuyin: "I'm not afraid of pain." How can a man be afraid of pain?

Shi Fuyin glanced at him, shook the medicine bottle in her hand, and the powder was sprinkled on the wound.

"Ah~"

Xiao Ziqing couldn't help but scream in pain.

Shi Fuyin saw his grinning face and smiled: "Scream if it hurts, it's not a shameful thing. Our family is afraid of pain. If we get hurt, we will definitely scream. If we scream, it won't hurt so much."

Hearing this, Xiao Ziqing still endured the pain after applying the medicine, but his expression was much more relaxed.

"Thank you, Third Miss."

After applying the medicine, their eyes met again, and then separated in an instant.

"Duke Anguo, you don't have to be so polite. You helped me before."

Shi Fuyin packed the medicine box with her back to Duke Anguo.

Xiao Ziqing looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Don't call me Duke Anguo. It's too formal. Just call me Ziqing."

Shi Fuyin paused, and then whispered "hmm".

Xiao Ziqing saw that she agreed, his face was happy, and he asked with courage: "Um. Can I call you Sister Yin?"

Shi Fuyin tightened her hand holding the medicine box: "Whatever, you should be hungry, I'll go out and get you food." After saying that, she quickly walked out of the room.

Xiao Ziqing looked at Shi Fuyin's somewhat panicked appearance, and reached out to cover his still beating heart, feeling the unspeakable joy in his heart.

When Shi Fuyin walked out of the room, she leaned against the wall, covering her chest with her hands, her eyes sparkling.
