outside the imperial city

Chapter 61 Red Horse

Jing Lingshuo released a pigeon.

"Master, I didn't expect you to like these little animals." Jing Junxi finished wiping Yao Fanglan's face.

"It's nothing." Jing Lingshuo turned around, "Take a look occasionally."

"By the way, Master." Jing Junxi asked, "You helped Mr. Yao suck out the poison that day, are you all right?"

"Ah." Jing Lingshuo looked at his hand, "The poison must have been specially made for him."

Jing Junxi said "um", and lifted up the basin: "Then, I'll go back to my room first."

"Okay." Jing Yanshuo nodded, and sat down beside Yao Zanglan.

Since Yao Fanglan was injured, he has been awake for less than an hour every day.Apart from eating and bathing, the two basically had no communication.

Jing Lishuo gently lifted the quilt and opened Yao Zanglan's skirt.After more than half a month, Sheng Dan finally returned to the original state.Thinking of his injuries, Jing Lishuo's face showed unprecedented violence.

Yao Fanglan's eyelashes trembled.Jing Lingshuo hastily closed his skirts and covered him with a quilt.After confirming that he wasn't woken up, Jing Lingshuo breathed out quietly and jumped onto the window sill.

Before leaving, he looked back at Yao Fanglan who was on the bed, and seeing that the latter was completely silent, he let go of his hands and feet and jumped up to the eaves.

Yao Fanglan waited for the sound of his footsteps to completely disappear before sitting up from the bed.

The room was empty, no one was there.Yao Fanglan hastily put on his outer shirt, went to the table and sat down.

"After resting for a long time, I almost couldn't even pour the tea."

Yao Fanglan took two cups, put one in front of her, and placed the other opposite her.

"The leader of the red horses." Yao Fanglan forgot the pain after his scar healed, and it didn't take long before the ruffian came up, "Please guard me for so long, can you do me a favor and have a drink with me?"

Like a gust of wind, a man in black fell across from him.

He took off his veil and said curiously: "You can call me Feng Wu. But when did you find out?"

"Actually, I wasn't sure until just a moment ago." Yao Fanglan took out a red horse-shaped wooden sculpture from his arms, "Although someone has reminded me a long time ago."

Feng Wu sat down: "Is it because the Lord left you and ran out?"

"Exactly." Yao Fanglan said, "If he really has such a lenient heart, we will be much more relaxed. Besides, you can know if you think about it. Since we left Jingyang, all the information we have obtained is basically my inquiry. Come. King Jinyuan, who is the 'number one in the world', how could he allow himself to be so passive? How could he really not care about worldly affairs?"

Feng Wu took a sip of tea unceremoniously: "Then, what do you want Mr. Yao to invite me here today?"

"Master Fengwu, just in case, let me confirm that you are only loyal to King Jinyuan, right?"

"Yes. It's because the lord established the Red Horses." Feng Wudao said, "So even if you want to do something that harms the lord's interests, we will stop it."

Yao Fanglan gave an evil smile: "Then, if your lord makes a decision that harms your own interests, what will you do?"

Feng Wu was stunned: "What does Mr. Yao mean?"

"What I mean is," Yao Fanglan put away her smile, "I hope you can protect him well when we are divided into two groups, no matter whether he asks you to protect me or not."

"Lu, Lu, Mr. Lu, where are we going?" Xu Haocheng was carried by a man in black, tears splashing everywhere, "Are you sure I'm going too?"

Early in the morning, he was inexplicably held hostage by several men in black at the inn, and then found that the leader of the man in black was someone he knew, and then he was carried and ran on the eaves.Xu Haocheng's courage, which is only as big as a watermelon seed, must have been frightened to death long ago.

"You don't have to go." Jing Shuo said, "I thought you wanted to avenge your sister."

Xu Haocheng's eyes suddenly became firm: "Are you serious?"

"Master, this is here." A man in black pointed to the yard in front of him, "The previous building has been burned down by Mr. Xu, so they moved here."

Jing Lingshuo leaned forward and said, "Let's go."

"Wait," Xu Haocheng held him back, "Don't you guys need to make a plan?"

"This is our plan." The man in black said, "Go straight in."

Xu Haocheng laughed dryly: "What a good plan."

A few men in black jumped into the yard first, and before they could get a foothold, a maid came out from the side.

"Well, how is Mr. Yao?"

Jing Lingshuo looked back at him, "He's still alive."

He took out a dagger from his waist and handed it to Xu Haocheng.Xu Haocheng took it over, and asked angrily, "You have such a powerful manpower, why didn't you bring them here from the beginning?"

A cold light flashed in Jing Shuo's eyes, and Xu Haocheng was completely discouraged: "No, I'm not saying that you have an obligation to help me, I just said that if you brought me here from the beginning, Mr. Yao would not be affected. It was such a bad injury. Of course, he was hurt and I was to blame, but—”

"You're right." Jing Shuo said, "If I had brought them here in the first place, Yao Yao wouldn't have been injured so badly. It was my lack of thoughtfulness, so I made up for it. How about you? "

And me?Xu Haocheng clenched his lower lip and pulled out his dagger.

Jing Lishuo jumped into the courtyard holding Xu Haocheng's back.

The maid holding a long knife and waiting for support saw them and ran up immediately. Jing Lingshuo didn't even look at them, and just swung his sword over.

The maids fell down one by one, and Jing Shuo walked into the lobby.There sat a masked woman, sipping tea gracefully.

"Prince Jinyuan is waiting for you, forgive me for not being able to meet you far away." Mrs. Wang said.

The sound of fighting outside has stopped, and it seems to have been resolved.

Jing Lingshuo put the sword on the table: "You know what I'm here for."

"I know." Mrs. Wang put down her teacup, "But what if you kill me? That lord will never let you go, and there may be people like me in this city, waiting to continue my story." Work. This city will never be redeemed."

"You're wrong, I will never let Liu Wanwan go." Jing Shuo said, Ruifeng's eyes no longer had warmth from anyone.

"How did you know that name?" Mrs. Wang suddenly panicked.

Jing Lingshuo took out a piece of horse-shaped agate from his bosom, and the horse's body was bright red: "Although I can't kill Liu Wanwan for the time being, it's just a matter of subverting a city. What's so difficult for me?"

"The red horses, do they really exist?"

"What do you think?" Jing Lingshuo used his sword to lift her veil, "This look really suits you."

On Mrs. Wang's face, there was a long scar, and it seemed that the scar had just healed.

"I remember, you slapped him twice," the point of the sword moved to Mrs. Wang's neck, "stabbed him twice, and injured his hand? By the way, you were responsible for the bleeding from his seven orifices, right?"

Mrs. Wang turned her face away: "If you want to kill, then kill, what are you talking about so much?"

"Are you scared?" Jing Yanshuo raised one corner of his mouth, "How could I let you die so easily? I really want you to take this ugly face to the street so that everyone can see you. You have been in power for so long, everyone should know you, right?"

"Jing Shuo, you!"

"Unfortunately," Jing Yanshuo retracted the sword into its sheath, "I am not the one who is most qualified to kill you. Because Yao Yao is still alive. Xu Haocheng, let's do it."

"Ah?" Xu Haocheng's sea of ​​consciousness stayed on the tyrannical devil just now, seeing his sudden change of tone, he couldn't adapt for a while.

"Don't you want to avenge your sister?" Jing Shuo said, "If you don't want to get your hands dirty, I'll be happy to do it for you."

"No, I'll come." Xu Haocheng took the dagger to Madam Wang.

Mrs. Wang is not afraid of him at all, even though he holds a weapon in his hand: "Xu Haocheng, that fallen—"

Xu Haocheng didn't listen to her, and stabbed directly at her.The sharp blade of the dagger sank into her heart, Madam Wang stared round in disbelief, she fell on her back, and died on the spot, without even having time to confuse the crowd with her demonic words.

"Brother Xu is decisive and agile, I admire you." Jing Yanshuo couldn't help teasing a few words.

"Qiu Li."

A man in black stepped forward: "Yes."

From the voice, it was a woman.She delivered a small and heavy package in Xu Haocheng's hands.Xu Haocheng opened the package and took a look, before stuffing it back into the woman's hand.

"Brother Lu, this is impossible."

Jing Yushuo said: "You just accept it. It is fate to meet once. Count me as a little bit of virtue."

Xu Haocheng insisted on refusing to accept: "Brother Lu and Young Master Yao have already helped me a lot, no matter how thick-skinned Xu is, he dare not accept favors from the two of you anymore."

"You're going to bury your sister and revive your family business. This is not the time to be brave." Jing Shuo winked at Qiuli, and Qiuli backed away, "How about this, this money is what you owe Mine, in the future when you have money, return it to me?"

Xu Haocheng faltered for a long time, weighed left and right for a while, and said, "Okay. What's your real name?"

"Me," Jing Lingshuo smiled, "Jing Lingshuo."

Jing Shuo... Isn't that the famous King Jinyuan?

After Jing Shuo settled the matter, he felt a lot more relaxed: "Qiu Li, we will leave Qianyuan early tomorrow morning at the latest, and you can send some people to check along the way at night."

"Yes."

Jing Shuo stopped in front of the inn: "Okay, you all go back. Thank you for your hard work."

Jing Lingshuo jumped onto the window sill and tiptoed down to the ground.Yao Zanglan's bed was facing the bed, and the bed curtain was blown up by the wind, almost brushing Jing Shuo's face.

Jing Shuo walked over, but there was no one on the bed.Jing Lishuo yelled, he couldn't tell whether he was anxious or angry: "Feng Wu!"

"Feng Wu, who is it?"

With a refreshing voice, Jing Lingshuo turned his head.

Yao Zanglan was wearing a white coat, her long black hair was scattered on both sides of her shoulders, one leg was bent, and she stepped on the bench, looking very energetic: "Yo."

"Yo what," Jing Yanshuo couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Are you ready? You—"

He took two steps forward, then stopped again, not daring to move forward, because Yao Fanglan's fingers were playing with a red horse-shaped wooden sculpture.

"Did you kill Mrs. Wang?" Yao Fanglan lowered his legs, "Have you bid farewell to Xu Haocheng too? After that, when do you arrange for us to leave?"

"Yao Yao, listen to my explanation." Jing Lingshuo became nervous, "I didn't mean to hide it from you."

Yao Fanglan's tone was particularly unfamiliar: "That day, you saw me talking to the spies of Prince Li's Mansion, but you didn't report it. I really thought you were a big deal. I didn't expect it to be because you have been doing the same thing. And , Liu Wanwan? You even found out the queen's name, and you pretended to be ignorant, why?"

Jing Yushuo didn't expect that there were spies from Prince Li's Mansion there, and he didn't know what to say: "Yao Yao, I really didn't know that my parents were killed by Liu Wanwan. It was after you told me that I didn't know what to say." Send someone to investigate this matter. Trust me."

After longing for it for a long time, he woke up, but when he woke up, it turned out to be such a question.

Yao Fanglan stood up and walked to Jing Shuo's side: "I guess, from the moment we left Jingyang, the red horses followed us, right? All the dangers we experienced together, in your eyes, are just random things. It can be resolved, right?"

"No!" Jing Yanshuo is not afraid of anything, but he is afraid that Yao Zanglan will doubt his sincerity, "Yao Yao, maybe you won't believe me if I tell you, but! Only this, please believe me, I am really very Love you."

"Hehe." Seeing his serious face, Yao Fanglan suddenly laughed.

Jing Lingshuo was afraid that he would say "you think I will trust you again", so he wanted to plug his ears.But no.Yao Fanglan laughed harder and harder, the wound on her abdomen hadn't healed yet, laughing like this, the wound started to hurt again.

Yao Fanglan's brows twitched, and she was forced to stop laughing: "Idiot, I won't believe you. Are you kidding me, what are you doing so seriously?"

"Then you pay it back!" Jing Yanshuo couldn't care less about reassuring, so he got angry, hugged his head, and squatted down on the ground.

"Do you know how scared I am!"

"Isn't it? You're crying right now? Why?" Yao Zanglan was at a loss, reached out and patted Jing Lishuo's head, seeing that he was motionless, took off his hair crown again.

"Hey, if you pretend to cry again, I'll braid your hair?"

Seeing that he still didn't respond, Yao Zanglan squatted down, and before he could speak, Jing Lishuo made a sudden move, grabbed his chin, and kissed him.

Ever since the night when Yao Fanglan kowtowed three times in front of Bai Zeyu, the two of them hadn't been in love again.The young man was very fiery, and a light kiss that touched the surface of the water developed into an inseparable deep kiss.

When they came back to their senses, the two had been lying on the bed and kissing for a long time.Yao Fanglan's shirt slipped halfway down, revealing her attractive skin.

"Your injury is not healed." Jing Lingshuo sighed regretfully, and helped him pull the shirt over his shoulders.

"I'm sorry." Yao Fanglan tidied up the shirt, "I failed your trust. These days, I have worked hard for you."

Jing Shuo kissed his side face: "It's good that you know. I don't want to go through it again."

"Yes." Yao Fanglan replied softly, "I know."
