Chapter 226 Assassination
Xie Liuzheng was probably testing him. After he was able to get in touch with Luo Qingge, he wondered in his heart whether his symptoms had improved, so he took Luo Qingge to the brothel where there were the most women.
It was because of that trip that he realized that he was not cured of his illness, but that he could only contact Luo Qingge.
Luo Sinian finally realized what was happening and said in surprise, "Could it be that the man that Master Xie eloped with at Hua Man Lou that day was actually Qingge in disguise?"
Ji Yuntang looked at him with interest, "You are not that stupid."
"It can be said that they are acquainted after fighting. Master Xie can only be with Qingge, but Qingge cannot but be with Master Xie. It seems that Master Xie will have a long way to go to find his wife!"
Luo Sinian also laughed, "I see. If the two of them can really be together, it would be a good marriage."
"But if my friend wants to pursue Qingge, I'm afraid he will have to suffer a lot."
The two of them were chatting in the Night Palace, but what they didn't know was that Luo Qingge and Xie Liuzheng in the carriage almost got into a fight.
The two of them argued for a full quarter of an hour over the question of whether the chicken or the egg came first, and they still haven't come to a conclusion.
Luo Qingge said angrily: "The chicken must have come first, and the eggs were laid by the chicken. Where would the eggs come from without the chicken?"
Xie Liuzheng narrowed his long black eyes and snorted righteously: "Your theory is wrong. The egg must have come first before the chicken. Chickens are hatched from eggs. How can there be chickens without eggs?"
Luo Qingge's beautiful eyes widened and she said angrily: "Eggs and eggs. The chicken came first and then the egg."
Xie Liuzheng was also unconvinced and said: "Then tell me, how did the chicken come? It can't be that it jumped out from the cracks in the rocks, right?"
The two said in unison:
Luo Qingge: "The chicken came first."
Xie Liuzheng: "The egg came first."
As they argued, the two almost came to blows.
At this moment, the moving carriage suddenly braked and stopped.
Luo Qingge fell into Xie Liuzheng's arms out of inertia, with her hand on his chest.
Xie Liuzheng sneered, with a lazy smile in his eyes.
"Princess Nine, since you can't convince me, do you want to use force on me?"
Luo Qingge: "..."
Luo Qingge: "!!!"
She even wanted to strangle Xie Liuzheng to death.
She was blushing with shame, but she still said stubbornly: "If you can't speak, just shut up. I won't force myself on you even if I force myself on a dog!"
Luo Qingge had just stood up when the carriage suddenly shook violently again, even more violently than before.
Luo Qingge lost her balance and fell into Xie Liuzheng's arms again.
"I..." She was embarrassed and wanted to explain something, but she felt that her explanation was unnecessary.
After all, she had just said that she would not force herself on Xie Liuzheng, but she repeatedly threw herself into the other's arms.
Xie Liuzheng had no mood to argue with Luo Qingge at this moment, because he keenly sensed the murderous intent coming from outside, mixed with the sound of swords clashing.
Just at this moment, Jianlan's frightened voice sounded from outside.
"Princess Nine, be careful, there are assassins!"
As soon as she finished her words, a sharp arrow came from a distance and shot straight into the carriage.
Xie Liuzheng reacted very quickly. He stretched out his hand, pulled, rolled over, and pressed Luo Qingge under him, thus avoiding the arrow.
But after one arrow, another barrage of arrows shot towards the carriage.
Xie Liuzheng hugged Luo Qingge tightly, with one big hand running through her hair and placed under the back of her head, protecting her entire body.
This was the first time that Luo Qingge was pinned down by a man, and she was completely stunned at the moment.
As a princess, she seldom left the palace and had never had such close contact with a man. At this moment, she could only stare at Xie Liuzheng helplessly with her big watery eyes.
Xie Liuzheng thought she was too scared. He gently touched Luo Qingge's hair and comforted her: "Don't be afraid. I am here and I won't let them hurt you."
The man's eyes were so gentle, and he treated her like a treasure in his palm, taking good care of her.
Luo Qingge was used to Xie Liuzheng's unreliability. At this moment, seeing his expression full of seriousness and tenderness, her snow-white ears hidden under her black hair turned red.
Of course, Xie Liuzheng couldn't see this scene.
It was already late at night, the moon had disappeared into the clouds, and outside the sounds of swords clashing could be heard one after another.
"Protect the Ninth Princess!"
Luo Qingge knew that it was the secret guards around her who were fighting with the assassin. This group of people was specially arranged by the Queen to protect her in secret. There were eight people in total.
If she was not in danger, they would not show up so easily.
Seeing that no more arrows were shot in at this moment, Xie Liuzheng knew that the carriage was temporarily safe. He pulled out a few arrows stuck in the window and threw them out with force. The two black-clad assassins fell to the ground and died.
Taking advantage of this gap, Luo Qingge glanced outside and couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"Why are there so many assassins?"
There were hundreds of assassins outside. Although Meng Fan and the eight secret guards around Luo Qingge were fighting with them, they also killed more than a dozen of them.
But the number of the opponents was too large, and nine people were no match for them.
They were now in an alley where almost no one passed by at night.
Xie Liuzheng knew that if they continued to waste time like this, all of them would die here. This group of people were clearly determined to fight to the death.
He pursed his lips slightly and said to Luo Qingge very seriously: "You just stay in the carriage, I will go out to meet them."
Luo Qingge's heart tightened. She reached out to grab Xie Liuzheng's robe, but the robe slipped from her hands.
Xie Liuzheng jumped off the carriage without hesitation.
The driver in front was dead, and Xie Liuzheng kicked him away.
When he was about to draw his sword and move forward, he unexpectedly found Lily of the Valley lying on the ground, having fainted from fright.
Xie Liuzheng pulled Linglan up and put her into the carriage, then picked up a bloody sword from the ground and threw it to Luo Qingge.
"Use this sword to protect yourself. Be smart without me by your side."
Luo Qingge wanted to say "Be careful", but what she said turned out to be, "Xie Liuzheng, if you die, this princess will not collect your body for you."
Xie Liuzheng chuckled casually, "Don't worry, this prince will not give you the chance to collect your body."
After he finished speaking, he leaped into the air, sword in hand, and joined the fight.
Xie Liuzheng was very skilled in martial arts and swordsmanship. Wherever his sword swept across, it moved lightly and each move went straight to the assassin's vital points.
The murderous intention suddenly appeared and the assassin's head fell to the ground.
Meng Fan was facing five assassins alone and gradually felt overwhelmed. Just when he was about to be killed, Xie Liuzheng pierced the heart of the assassin who attacked him with a sword.
