The Pearl on the Emperor’s Crown

Chapter 55



Under the moonlight, Shengling held a torch, his stern eyes swept across Qiushanping outside Guyang City.

On the ground lay dozens of deadly stalwart men, covered with broken stones and broken branches, the soil was condensed with dry blood, and it was obvious that there had been fierce fighting.

Sheng Ling immediately ordered people to step forward to check the identity of the deceased. He frowned and murmured: “How can this be the case.”

For his master, Sheng Ling knows that Xie Ying’s city and restraint are far beyond his age, and Yan Fengqin is also a scheming man. The two of them have to do it for women, but they will definitely keep a sense of measure, and there will be no life and death. After all, it is not yet time.

Sheng Ling was worried that Zhu Yi would be frightened, so he turned around and asked: “Girl, don’t get out of the carriage.”

The people who checked it quickly reported that among the nearly forty people, six were from the Wei Ning Palace, and the other 13 should be from the Jinghai Palace, and the rest were all black-clothed assassins with unknown origins.

Sheng Ling’s pupils shrank. This was because the son was fighting with Yan Fengqin. Someone wanted to catch it all in one go?

But who sent this third party team?

…Where did the son go again, whether he managed to get away, or was taken away by the enemy…

Zhu Yi has moved to the door of the carriage and asked nervously, “General Sheng, what’s the matter?”

Sheng Ling decided to protect Zhu Yi personally and told others to scatter and search.

Knowing that he couldn’t hide from Juey, he had to invite her out. Zhu Yi saw blood-stained corpses everywhere, and her eyes were dark for a moment, but her heart was quickly replaced by another kind of fear, and she hurriedly asked: “Where is Xie Yingren? He will not have an accident, will you? No one of you will follow to protect him?”

Sheng Ling said: “Someone is following Shizi, but not many. Girl, please wait a moment, our people are already searching around.”

Shengling Xindao, the capital is no better than Weizhou, after all, it is not the base camp, and the manpower is limited. Nothing was wrong with the matters that Shizi deployed in the middle of Beijing, and those people couldn’t move. The spies of the Xie family did not reveal their identity and would not easily participate in the protection of the son. Shi Zi temporarily sent his younger brother Sheng Qing to bring a team of people south to investigate the affairs of General Pei. Shen Xingliu and other large forces are all in Huzhou, and he and the twelve guards are protecting the princess again, who is left next to the son?

Zhu Yi clasped his hands tightly, his body trembling uncontrollably, and the more time passed, the more difficult it was to settle. Sheng Ling said it was cold outside and told Zhu Yi to go back into the carriage. Zhu Yi refused to do anything.

The people sent back came back one after another, but they were not around, so they wanted to look down the cliff.

Zhu Yi’s face turned pale when he heard that, how could he survive if he fell under the cliff? Her back was cold, and she hurriedly said, “I’ll go too!”

Sheng Ling was also dumbfounded, but did not forget the task Xie Ying gave him, saying: “The cliff is full of rocks and shrubs, it is rugged and difficult to walk, the girl is better to wait for the news. The martial arts of the elder son is superb, nothing will happen!”

Then he said: “There have been culprits here, so it may not be safe. Let me take the girl somewhere else.”

Zhu Yi looked at Shengling and shook his head.

Xie Ying was in the cave on the other side of Qiu Mountain.

This mountain wall is quite steep. The entrance of the cave is a slender gap that is half a person high. The entrance of the cave is slanted with trees and lush green. It doesn’t look eye-catching. After Xie Ying and the others entered, they ordered people to use mud and stones to cover it from the inside. After a while, it is even harder to be discovered.

“Happily, it’s been a long time since I’ve beaten up like this.” Yan Fengqin was lying on the ground, with chapped lips and a hoarse voice. He had been unconscious for a while, and under the care of Yan Yuer, he woke up again.

If the people of Jingzhou were present, most of them would not dare to recognize this person as the energetic King of Jinghai.

Yan Fengqin looked at the dark top of the cave, and sighed: “My third brother, the two of us are really unfavorable for the past few years.”

He knew that Xie Ying would never show mercy. Xie Ying was really ruthless when he started. Except for the position of the heart, he never hesitated when the sword was pierced down. Yan Fengqin didn’t expect that he hadn’t seen it for more than a year, and this person’s skill was so fast.

“Brother, just say a few words! Look at your pale face.” Yan Yuer raised Yan Fengqin’s head slightly and fed him the water found in the cave with a leaf.

Yan Fengqin swallowed water into his abdomen, but snorted: “Don’t worry, will your brother die like this?”

Yan Yu’er said: “Hehe. The so-called confidant’s misfortune, what else can be done besides causing misfortune, you have learned it, see if you dare to be stupid next time?”

She spoke to Yan Fengqin, but her eyes were on Xie Ying on the other side. She wanted to tell Xie Ying these words.

Xie Ying sat a little further away from the Yan family’s two siblings, and said nothing.

He had already adjusted his breath, took the pill, and he tore a strip of cloth from his shirt to bandage the wound, and leaned his head on the stone wall, closing his eyes and resting. His condition is much better than Yan Fengqin’s, but he is also badly injured. Junxiu’s face was so pale that there was no trace of blood, and a strand of hair was also hanging down her forehead, which was a rare depression.

Yan Fengqin was taken care of by Yan Yu’er and her guards who came from behind, but there was no one beside Xie Ying.

Yan Yu’er filled the water with another leaf, held the torch and squatted down in front of the man, and said softly, “Sir, drink some water, too.”

Yan Yu’er looked at Xie Ying’s closed face, her heart was about to jump out of her throat, and when she saw Xie Ying’s body was covered with dark blood stains, although it was not necessarily Xie Ying’s own blood, it still made her feel heartache. He stretched out his hand, trying to feed water to his lips.

Xie Ying opened her eyes suddenly, and turned her head slightly to look at Yan Yu’er. The light in her eyes was sharp and compelling, making Yan Yu’er’s movements sluggish, and she slowly retracted her hand. Xie Ying closed his eyes again, no longer caring what Yan Yuer did. He doesn’t have the strength to deal with this woman now.

Yan Fengqin looked at the deflated Yan Yu’er, reluctantly shook his head, and asked, “Third brother, who do you think sent those people?”

Xie Ying finally spoke slowly: “Who else is the princess’s misfortune. The princess thinks that the excuse for going out of the palace is well-crafted, but it has long been targeted.”

Yan Yuer was trembling with anger. She took the initiative to care about him and lowered her body to please him. He actually stabbed her with words? Xie Ying’s phrase “a disaster caused by the princess” did not mean that Zhu Yi was a disaster before responding to her? Regarding Zhu Yi, is he so obsessed that he must report it?

Yan Fengqin naturally heard it too, just pretending that he didn’t understand, and he laughed twice: “The old man has such a patience, I really didn’t see it. This time it is not easy to chase and kill our leader, he looks like a monk. .”

When Xie Ying was about to answer, there was a sudden movement outside the entrance of the cave. Everyone looked at the entrance of the cave together, and soon heard a voice saying: “Shizi, are you inside?” The stacked stones at the entrance of the cave were pushed away.

The first one to come in was the eighth of Xie Ying’s twelve guards. He swept Xie Ying’s figure and hurriedly said with joy: “Earth son!” Then he said to the outside: “General, the old son is inside!”

Sheng Ling didn’t expect to be so lucky. He felt that Zhu Yi was really a lucky star. With her, he found the son of the world so smoothly.

After Lao Ba and Lao Jiu came in, the third person who entered the cave surprised everyone inside.

Xie Ying and Yan Fengqin, the two young men who have won the aspirations and ruled the world, have not had such an encounter today, it is simply an embarrassment that they have never had before. Naturally, I didn’t want to let this embarrassed look be seen by my beloved girl. When I saw Zhu Yi, I was taken aback. My heart was a little complicated, and I didn’t care to say hello.

However, Zhu Yi’s appearance was not much better. Her long skirt was cut two deep mouths by branches, her hair was messy, and her white and tender face was stained with mud that she did not know where she got.

Zhu Yi saw Xie Ying at the first glance, and at the second glance Yan Yu’er, who was kneeling beside Xie Ying, frowned, and immediately rushed to Xie Ying and said, “Xie Ying, are you okay.”

With the flame tube in Yan Yuer’s hand, Zhu Yi naturally discovered that Xie Ying was injured. She stretched out her hand distressedly, but did not dare to touch the place where he was bandaging: “Why hurt like this?” Zhu Yi’s tears were instantly in her eyes. Spin around.

“I’m fine, princess. Don’t worry, it’s all skin injuries.” Xie Yingqiang cheered up, coaxing Zhu Yi while glancing at Shengling who followed Zhu Yi in. Sheng Ling knew that he would have to be punished later, but he had no regrets. If something happened to the son, he would regret it.

Xie Ying wanted to reach out and wipe the mud from the tip of Zhu Yi’s nose, but his hands were even dirtier, so she had to watch her with a small face like a tabby cat, asking for care by her side.

Yan Fengqin looked at the treatment Xie Ying received, and snorted heavily, not looking away in taste.

It is inevitable that there will be a second wave of chasing and killings, so they are temporarily taking refuge here. Shengling and the others arrived, indicating that they are temporarily safe outside. With reinforcements, Xie Ying and Yan Fengqin naturally withdrew quickly.

Sheng Ling quickly found the inn where he was staying, and led the people around Xie Ying’s room.

Xie Ying’s clothes were covered in mud, sweat and blood, so she naturally had to take a bath and change clothes immediately. But there were injuries on his body, especially the wound on his thigh that was cut by the old monk’s chain iron cone, so he decided not to soak in water. Therefore, it is not allowed to enter the bath tub and can only be wiped carefully.

He didn’t want Sheng Ling and others to help him, so he entered the clean room alone.

Zhu Yi was making the bed for Xie Ying in the room when she heard the sound of something knocking over in the clean room. She recognized it, and it seemed to be a wooden box containing pancreas. She immediately went to the clean room and asked nervously, “What’s the matter?”

Without a response, Zhu Yi frowned. Seeing Xie Ying’s shaky appearance when he came back, he wouldn’t faint, right? But there was no sound of heavy objects falling.

Just as Zhu Yi turned around, there was another sound of falling objects. The movement this time should be a basin? She asked again, “Xie Ying, what are you doing?” Didn’t she hurt her leg? Does it actually hurt your hand?

Xie Ying’s weak voice sounded inside: “Yi Yi…”

Zhu Yi’s heart trembled, and immediately rushed in, and saw Xie Ying standing next to the bathtub, naked and arrogant.

“Ah—” Zhu Yi stopped quickly and raised his hand to cover his eyes.

Xie Ying looked at the thin white scarf around her waist, walked up to Zhu Yi, and took her hand away without any refusal: “Yi Yi, I have a cover, you can see clearly.”

Zhu Yi’s face was already red, Xie Ying leaned too close to her, and her breath fell on her forehead. She felt that she was not breathing well, so she quickly pushed him away.

Xie Ying said, “Will Yi Yi wipe my back? My arms are twisted, I can’t wash it.” Xie Ying’s voice was pitiful, and Zhu Yi nodded.

Xie Ying’s thin lips curled, and she generously sat on the stool next to the tub, looking at each other.
