Silent Lover 2 (Tanhua) - Chap 87
Chapter 87 Ambush
Ten days later.
Jing Guo’s courtier’s convoy slowly walked out of the capital of Loulan, and drove to the wilderness amidst the sound of horses kicking.
The ruts were deeper than when they came here, and the carriage was full of boxes of Loulan’s tribute to Emperor Jingguo in return. Although it has not been officially announced to the public, the world has already regarded Loulan as a vassal state of Jingguo.
Jun Qiyu was sitting in the front carriage, with his eyes closed all the way, Qi Miao was busy concocting all kinds of medicines in the carriage, while Mr. Qi’s face was ashen, tired and desperate.
“After returning to the capital, you follow me to the emperor to plead guilty.” Elder Qi said to Qi Miao, “Try to let the emperor be lenient and save your life.”
Qi Miao knew that he had caused trouble, so he didn’t dare to look up.
“Father, no…it’s not that serious, right?” Qi Miao said guiltily.
Boss Qi was so angry that his eyes widened in anger.
“Isn’t it? Damage to the dragon body of the crown prince, isn’t that serious? It’s a capital offense if it’s too small! It’s a felony that implicates the nine clans if it’s too big!”
“The emperor is a reasonable person…”
Just as Qi Miao was about to refute, he was slapped on his buttocks with a scepter by Master Qi.
“Reasonable?! You are so whimsical! Do you know the emperor’s temper in the early years? Is he the one who reasoned with you?” Mrs. Qi noticed the slip of the tongue and changed his words, “No matter how wise and reasonable the emperor is, he will never tolerate someone harming you.” His only prince! If I knew it earlier, I shouldn’t have let you study medicine. I thought that medicine is safe, and at least it can keep you safe and sound for a lifetime. I didn’t expect… Sigh!”
“My own choice will not implicate anyone. Father, I…”
Just as Jun Qiyu, who had been silent all this time, was about to speak, the sound of horseshoes outside suddenly became chaotic, and the coachman yelled and stood up the carriage.
“His Royal Highness! There is an ambush!”
The guards riding horses outside were already alert, and they drew their knives and surrounded them, protecting the carriage in the middle.
“Protect His Highness the Crown Prince!”
Although the incident happened suddenly, Jingguo’s cavalry did not panic at all. They lined up neatly, raised their shields and weapons, and surrounded the carriage like an iron barrel.
Qi Miao opened a gap in the car curtain and closed it immediately in shock.
“A lot of people! There are assassins in black clothes outside!”
Jun Qiyu listened attentively.
“Night Travel Clothes?” Jun Qiyu frowned, “There is no trap, and wearing Night Travel Clothes, it shouldn’t be barbarians who rob treasure…Qi Miao, how many people did you see?”
Although the horse bandits in the Western Regions had a record of robbing Jingguo caravans, they usually dare not touch the Jingguo government’s carriages.
Qi Miao immediately replied: “At least hundreds of people, and there are still many people who can’t see clearly.”
“Such a big battle is not an assassin. This is a straightforward interception. Most of them are coming at me. Be careful, stay in the carriage. The opponents are dead fighters with extremely high martial arts. They kill without blinking an eye.”
Jun Qiyu reminded me.
Qi Miao asked in a daze, “Your Highness has never seen it with your own eyes, so how do you know their martial arts are strong?”
“There are hundreds of people hiding in this kind of sand, but they can’t hear any sound, and the footsteps are very light. It can be seen that their martial arts are not low and they are well-trained.”
As Jun Qiyu said, she lifted the curtain and walked out.
“Your Highness!”
Qi Miao wanted to go out too, but was grabbed by Mr. Qi.
“You don’t know martial arts, you can’t protect yourself, why join in the fun?!”
Jun Qiyu ignored it and stood on the carriage with her hands behind her back.
“Do you know who you stopped?”
Jun Qiyu didn’t panic in the face of danger, and asked calmly.
“Jing Kingdom Crown Prince Jun Qiyu.”
A voice came from the other person.
Jun Qiyu turned to that side and nodded.
“Now that you know, you have come prepared… Then who are you?”
“Personally capture you, a rebellious courtier and thief.”
A man came out of the darkness on a horse. He was wearing a four-clawed dragon robe, and he was facing Jun Qiyu without any cover.
Jun Qiyu played with the words “rebel and thief”.
“This is……?”
Qi Miao opened his eyes. He had never seen anyone who dared to wear a dragon robe so openly and ostentatiously.
“It looks so familiar…” Elder Qi lowered his head for a moment of thought, and said loudly, “This is the uniform of the former prince! Your Highness, this person…”
“It’s just a remnant of the previous dynasty.”
Jun Qiyu chuckled lightly, as if she didn’t pay attention at all.
When Prince Xiao heard about the remnants of the previous dynasty, he glared at him immediately.
“Bold thief! Still kneel down when you see this prince?!” Prince Xiao sternly reprimanded.
“What are you? How dare you make me kneel?”
Jun Qiyu stood proudly, already three points more oppressive than Prince Xiao in terms of momentum.
Prince Xiao said sharply: “My royal family of the Xiao family is the orthodox of the Central Plains! The ruler of the world! Your father is just a traitor who stole the throne! I am the son of the royal family, the prince who is protected by heaven and earth! You are just the son of a rebellious minister. You deserve to be trained on your knees in front of the prince!”
“Reduced to the royal family hiding in Loulan? The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. You are no different from these bandits in the Western Regions.”
Every word Jun Qiyu said hurt Prince Xiao. He thinks highly of himself, and what he cares most about is that he claims to be an orthodox royal family, but he lives like a mouse in the gutter, and those rebellious officials and thieves are worshiped by the world. is his!
“Jun Qiyu, the Crown Prince will definitely ask you to kneel down and admit your mistakes today and beg for mercy!…Listen, you subjects who don’t care about right and wrong, and submit quickly. This Crown Prince will spare you!”
No one answered.
Jun Qiyu chuckled, and said: “If you want me to beg for mercy, you must have this ability. You should set some traps on this road, and send twice as many people, maybe you can kill me to exhaustion. ”
“The prince knows that you can fight, but how can you be brave? If you are blind, you are blind. How long can you be fierce? You don’t need to use traps and other tricks to deal with you. The prince will beat you upright and make you kneel before me. Submit your feet!”
Jun Qiyu pouted.
“The tone is not small.”
“Go!” Prince Xiao gave an order, “War dead will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver! Those who get the head of Jun Qiyu will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, and on the day when this prince replaces Jing Guo and ascends the throne, this prince will make you a grand master!” General!”
A group of dead soldiers in the darkness swarmed up like locusts.
Listening to the rustling wind and the chaotic footsteps in the sand, Jun Qiyu tore off a black cloth strip from her sleeve and tied it over her eyes.
He took a deep breath, and his messy steps gradually became clear. Fortunately, he had hurt his eyes before. During that time, he did not slack off in martial arts, so he got used to listening to the sound and distinguishing the position. Jun Qiyu put his hands on his waist on the handle of the knife.
Hearing is especially sensitive when it is not dependent on sight.
The sound of the blade piercing the air was heard on the left, and it was already close at hand, but Jun Qiyu’s knife was even faster, only the sound of a dragon’s chant was heard, and a man in black with his head in a different place on the left, blood spattered on the spot.
