Chapter 301 Day and night
Qu Jingyao took out the full bag of sleeping pills that had just been given to her and sprinkled them towards the people in front of her.
Soon those people were knocked unconscious.
She swiftly slashed with her sword, killing several people, and then she chased after them using her lightness skills. She followed the sound of horse hooves in the night.
Just as she was about to catch up, a hidden arrow shot from somewhere and headed straight for Qu Jingyao's face.
The arrow flashed coldly in the moonlight, causing Qu Jingyao's eyes to shrink suddenly. She quickly dodged to the side, but when she looked up, the horse carrying Qu Huaer had already run away and disappeared into the night.
Qu Jingyao was a little furious as she faced the cold arrow shot from the dark.
Manman in the space felt the owner's emotions and immediately reminded her that there was a shooter hiding in the big tree on the southwest side.
Qu Jingyao slipped a copper coin from his sleeve pocket into his palm, and in the blink of an eye, he shot it towards the big tree.
"boom"
A black shadow fell under the tree.
Suddenly someone called her from behind.
"Yaoyao...is that you?"
When Qu Jingyao heard the familiar voice, her heart tightened. Her brother was here.
Qu Qingchen and Li Jun came closer, looked her up and down, and scolded her angrily.
"You are so brave, running out in the middle of the night. Aren't you afraid of something happening?"
Li Jun said this with a fierce look on his face, then felt a little regretful, fearing that he had frightened his niece.
Qu Qingchen's face was dark, and there was a hint of rage in his voice.
"You're so self-willed. Haven't you considered that everyone might be worried?"
Qu Jingyao lowered her eyes and sniffed, but in the end it was Li Jun who stepped in to smooth things over.
"Alright Qingchen, don't scare her. Just scold her a few times and it's over. Yaoyao, don't do this again next time. If there is anything, you must tell your uncle and your brother. If Qingchen hadn't gotten up at night and saw you leaving the valley by yourself, I wouldn't have known..."
At this moment, she could only nod obediently, say "Oh" softly, and follow her brother and uncle straight to the back mountain.
Li Jun asked her what happened just now?
The corner of Qu Jingyao's mouth twitched. Qu Qingchen in front of him paused, frowned, and said in a cold voice, "Just say it."
"Oh, a few men in black came to the village just now, and I... I fought with them..."
"What? Are you hurt?" Qu Qingchen raised his voice by two notches and immediately turned back to her, holding her arm, and asked nervously while looking at her.
"Hey, brother, I'm fine, I'm not hurt, really."
Hearing that she was fine, the uncle and nephew breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Jun's face was also full of nervousness at this time, and he asked her if she had discovered anything.
Qu Jingyao had a serious expression on his face, his brows slightly furrowed, and he glanced at his uncle: "I heard from Qu Huaer that my father was killed by Qu Shuliang."
"What did you say? Your father..."
Li Jun's face was full of ruthlessness, and he punched the earth wall next to him.
Qu Qingchen asked her if she knew why he wanted to kill his father?
She shook her head regretfully, a trace of annoyance flashing across her face. If only she had been faster...
"She was taken away by those men in black."
Qu Qingchen turned around and ran towards the village entrance, but was stopped by his uncle, who shook his head seriously at him. No matter what the reason, his father was gone, but the murderer was still alive.
After hearing what his uncle said, the anger in his heart eased a little. Yes! Are Qu Shuliang's family still alive?
hehe......
What Qu Jingyao was thinking about at the moment was why Qu Huaer hated her eldest brother's family so much. Was it as simple as not saving Old Lady Xu?
Qu Huaer had been taken to the depths of the woods beside the official road. No one noticed that there were nearly ten thousand troops hiding in the valley deep in the woods.
Those people burned, killed and looted the nearby villages, taking away all the food, women and property in the village.
"What the hell did you bring back? A dead person!"
"What about the rest?"
The man who got off the horse fell off with Qu Huaer before he could say anything.
When his companions went forward to check, they found that the man had already stopped breathing.
The woman still had a faint breath.
"What a damn bad luck, bringing back this half-dead thing. I can't even play with it, just throw it aside."
Several men in black came forward and threw the body and Qu Huaer into the back mountain.
At this time, in Ruyang City, in Prince Li's Mansion, Bai Guo was anxiously discussing with the housekeeper. If His Royal Highness Prince Li did not come back, they would have no choice but to mobilize all the guards in the palace to guard outside Ruyang City.
"Butler, the several villages below have been massacred. If this continues, my master and his family will be in danger."
"But...but..."
"Don't worry, it's tomorrow at the latest. If His Royal Highness Prince Li doesn't come back by noon tomorrow, then we can only take a risk.
Otherwise, if this continues, Ruyang City will be in danger. Moreover, the county magistrate is dead. Don’t you think his death is strange? How could it be such a coincidence? "
After Bai Guo finished speaking, the housekeeper beside him also had a worried look on his face.
The prince left in a hurry without saying anything. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen?
They didn't know that King Li was also traveling day and night, and he had lost several horses to running.
"Your Highness, if you continue like this, your body won't be able to bear it." Xuan Lei tried to persuade him from the side.
Leng Yanxiu didn't even turn his head, and said in a cold voice: "Keep on your way."
He was extremely anxious at this moment. The villages under Ruyang City had all been massacred. He wondered what had become of Lingshui Village, where that little creature was. If that little creature went back, who knew...
"Have you sent a message to the palace?"
"Master, rest assured, the message has been sent back, and Xuanfeng, Xuanyu and the others have returned. With them in charge of the palace, nothing will go wrong."
Leng Yanxiu was not only worried about the palace, but the entire Ruyang City. If those people attacked the city, the consequences would be unimaginable.
I don't know if Yan Chuguo has sent troops. If so...
In fact, not long after they left Yanchu, Qi Huaixuan was urged by the emperor to go to war.
Everyone in the princess's mansion sat nervously in Princess Luo Xi's courtyard. Ever since they listened to Yao'er's advice last time and deceived the emperor and those people in the palace, they have been living in the princess's mansion.
It seems that the Haoshan Palace is under renovation.
What the dog emperor said was right. After Qi Huaixuan led the army to set off, the food and supplies followed closely.
Others always bring food and fodder before leading troops to war, but the dog emperor obviously wants King Haoshan to spend the money himself.
"Aunt, I don't know how Uncle and the others are doing. I heard that Fourth Brother has already gone with the food and supplies that Yao'er prepared."
"It'll be fine. Speaking of Yao'er, I wonder where that girl is now?"
When the family talked about this, they all looked worried.
At this time, Qu Jingyao was ordered back to the yard and was writing a letter to her grandmother.
So that they can rest assured.
