Chapter 130 Interception
"Undress."
Hanshui City is covered with snow all year round and is extremely cold, so Su Muxi wore a thick coat and disguised herself as Yingge, and easily got out of the heavily guarded yard.
She carried the tray towards the kitchen, and when she could no longer see the patrolling soldiers, she hid in a courtyard. All the people in the mansion had been captured, which made it easier for her to operate. She took off Yingge's coat and threw it aside, then sneaked into the house next door and took a nap on the beam.
She was too sleepy, having hardly slept last night, and she dared not move. After listening to the plan discussed by Jinling and Li Ying, she had an idea in her mind and was just waiting for night.
I just ate a few snacks and drank two cups of hot tea. My body is warmed up and I can sleep without any discomfort.
When I woke up, I was woken up by the noise from next door.
Manniu tore the clothes he had picked up into shreds, "It was clearly in your yard."
"You turned my yard upside down last night, and now you blame me," Jin Ling snorted coldly. Thinking that he might have been in the same room with the assassin last night, he wanted to kill someone. "You asked me to discuss matters, but you prevaricated. If you hadn't wasted time, how could my maid be injured and still unconscious?"
"Well, there's no point in arguing now. Let's think of ways to remedy the situation!" Yuan Qing didn't expect that Su Muxi could be so patient. She had been lurking in Jinling for a whole night and had refrained from taking action. He observed the yard and knew that he could leave the City Lord's Mansion by climbing over two walls. Once she left the mansion, it would be impossible to trap her.
Did she leave the house or not? It's hard to guess what she was thinking! "Little Prince, how much do you know about Su Muxi?"
Jin Ling was still thinking about the assassin. He didn't know how Yuan Qing got to Su Muxi, but he didn't hide it. "Feng Kingdom and Yun Dynasty have been fighting every year. Since Su Muxi came to power, she has not captured a city. She is the only woman who has been awarded the title of Princess by military merit."
"It seems that he is indeed resourceful. I agree with what the young prince said just now. We will attack the city tomorrow."
Jin Ling didn't expect him to agree. He was stunned for a moment, then he calmed down, "Mr. Yuan, a promise is worth a thousand gold. In this case, I will take my leave."
"Manniu, show the guest out."
Yuan Qing walked out while waving his fingers. Manniu understood and led his men out.
It was cold in late autumn, and butterflies were dancing and landing in Su Muxi's hair. Even when she heard the words "we will attack the city tomorrow", Su Muxi did not show any emotion. Even her breathing was weak, as if she had stopped.
In a moment, the butterfly flew up, passed through the courtyards, and landed in the white porcelain teacup. It happily sucked the honey, and its gray wings were reflected by the white porcelain, with a little fluorescence.
"I didn't find the person. It seems I was too worried," Yuan Qing said to himself and closed the lid of the white porcelain teacup.
Outside Hanshui City, dozens of war horses surrounded a carriage and rushed to Feng Country at a rapid speed. Unfortunately, the road was dangerous and the carriage was heavy, so the progress was very slow.
The howling wind passed through the deep canyon, like the roar of a ghost. When the convoy was halfway through the canyon, Li Ying suddenly stopped his horse and said, "Be on guard."
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, arrows were shot from the mountains on both sides of the canyon. This sudden attack was so sudden that even the top masters suffered heavy losses.
"Protect the prince," Li Ying waved the sword in his hand to block the rain of arrows, flew out first, and pulled a man down from the top of the mountain.
Jinling lay down in the carriage almost as soon as Li Ying finished speaking. Several sharp arrows pierced the carriage and nailed to the frame inside. Jinling was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.
He felt a soft touch beneath him, and when he looked down, he met Yingge's open eyes. Before surprise could appear on his face, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, and his eyes widened in disbelief.
Yingge pulled out the knife and put it against his neck, "My Lord, you'd better not move rashly, or you might die from this knife."
Jin Ling really didn't expect Yingge to kill him. He covered his abdomen and asked, "Who do you belong to?"
"My Lord, guess what?" Yingge put her knife against him, motioning him to lift the car curtain. "Just surrender. My Lord is in my hands."
The sound of fighting outside stopped abruptly. Jin Ling ignored the knife on his neck and said, "Li Ying should go and report the news."
Yingge suddenly slashed Jinling with her elbow, and he fainted, "Don't let Li Ying get away."
Since it was an ambush, how could he let them get away? Cang Ying had been prepared for a desperate fight, but he didn't expect Yingge to be able to capture Jinling. For him, the difficult task became an easy one.
"Strangle him on the spot. Leave Li Ying to me," Goshawk rode his horse and chased after Li Ying.
The remaining people, without a leader and with their masters in the hands of the enemy, were quickly killed by the goshawks.
Goshawk’s lightness skills couldn’t catch up with his master or his wife, but if he couldn’t catch up with Li Ying, then his life would be in vain. He caught up with Li Ying, chopped off his head, and then went back to reunite with Yingge.
