Sickish Prince is Scheming - C310
On the public road near the capital, a fast horse was galloping.
Under the tree at the turn of the official road, there was a person standing there. He held a long sword in his hand as if he was silently waiting.
When the horse was turning the corner, it suddenly saw a person standing in the middle of the road. It hurriedly stopped the horse and shouted, “Get out of the way!”
That person laughed coldly, “I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. Are you from the Duke Rong Palace?”
The man on the horse seemed surprised and asked, “How did you know?”
The man holding his sword smiled, “I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
“You’re waiting for me? What are you waiting for me for? ”
The smile still hung on the face of the man carrying the sword as he walked step by step towards the horse. Then he suddenly stood up, drew his sword, and leaped forward.
Only then did the person carrying the sword step forward to find the letter in his bosom, then he laughed towards the sky and left.
In the study of Duke Xuan’s Mansion.
“Your Highness.” Li Guoguo appeared at the study door.
When King Xuan saw him, he quickly said, “Come in and speak.”
Li Guoguo stepped into the study, took two steps forward, and took out the letter from his bosom. “In reply to Your Highness, the matter you wanted me to do has been completed. Please take a look at this letter.”
His face changed slightly as he snorted coldly, “I didn’t expect that Princess Rong would hear the news so quickly. Our Duke’s Mansion must have a spy. The most important thing right now is to get rid of Princess Rong.”
“Your subordinate is willing to lend Your Highness a hand.” Li Guo said in a deep voice.
King Xuan raised his eyes and glanced at Li Guoguo, “Alright, since you say it like that, then I’ll leave this matter to you. Remember, you must be clean and tidy, and you must not reveal anything.”
“Your subordinate understands.” Li Guo accepted the order and left.
Today, Shang Yiqing went out to buy some things. Although there were many maids in the mansion that she could order around, she also liked to buy some small things sometimes. Originally, she had agreed to go with Ying Ying, but Ying Ying had something to do, so she had no choice but to leave.
Not far from the manor was a bamboo forest. Although it was near winter, the bamboo forest was still green.
The wind rustled through the bamboo leaves.
Shang Yiqing felt that something was not right as she rode into the bamboo forest. Usually, she would come here often, but the person who left today always felt more desolate than usual.
They were about to pass through the bamboo forest when Shang Yiqing noticed a person standing quietly at the end. This person held a sword in his hand, with a lazy expression, as if he was waiting for someone or standing there silently. Since the location of the Rong King’s Manor was far away from the capital, it was very quiet here. Seeing such a person suddenly appear, Shang Yiqing could not help but take a second look.
That person didn’t even raise his head as he lazily asked, “Have you seen enough?”
Shang Yiqing was a bit embarrassed by his question, but she did not back down and just asked, “Who are you? “Why are you here?”
The man glanced at her and replied, “Waiting for someone.”
“Who are you waiting for?”
With a flick of the man’s wrist, he unsheathed his sword and thrust it towards Shang Yiqing’s neck, “The person I am waiting for is you!”
Shang Yiqing was shocked. Fortunately, she had trained in martial arts, so she reacted quickly. She raised her head, barely avoiding the sword. She steadied her feet and asked, “So you’re here to kill me?”
“That’s right!” The lazy person thrust out his sword again.
Shang Yiqing had no choice but to dodge. She discovered that this person’s swordsmanship was quite familiar, at least since she transmigrated, she had seen this type of swordsmanship the most. It was like a song and dance in the wind, every stab seemed like a fatal question. After connecting this sword technique with the recent actions of King Xuan, Shang Yiqing immediately screamed: “I know who sent you to kill me, and I also know that you’re a disciple of the ‘Thousand Revolution Sect’. Now that your Sovereign has abandoned all darkness, why are you working so hard for King Xuan?”
That person was none other than Li Guoguo. Hearing Shang Yiqing’s words, she raised her sword and said, “Death is near at hand. Where’s all this nonsense coming from? Die!”
Although Shang Yiqing was a little angry sometimes, she didn’t want to risk her life here. From modern times to ancient times, she always felt that living was a wonderful thing, at least every morning when she opened her eyes, another day had passed, so she started to walk around in the bamboo forest.
Shang Yiqing soon discovered that no matter how fast she ran, the sword on her back would always chase faster. There were even a few times when the sword just passed by her back. She was so shocked that her heart almost jumped out of her chest! It’s over, it’s over. It’s too bad she hasn’t seen Fang Zinan come back yet and is going to get killed here! God, Buddha, God, bless her! With her final prayers, Shang Yiqing felt her footsteps getting heavier and heavier. In the end, she could not run anymore. She just turned around and said loudly, “Hey, hey, hey, can you stop chasing me? It will be hard for you to chase me like this! ”
Li Guoguo sneered: “I’m not chasing you, I’m trying to kill you.”
“I know!” Shang Yiqing pretended to be scared, thinking that she might be able to tempt the man into buying the man over. Who would have thought that with a flash of sword light, she would be facing Li Guo’s nose. Li Guo looked at her with a smile and asked, “What do you have to say?”
“Good man, there’s something I want to discuss with you …” Without waiting for Li Guoguo to speak, Shang Yiqing continued, “I’m already so tired from running, and you still want to kill me?”
Li Guo didn’t say anything.
“You must know my identity, right? I’m Princess Rong. If you let me go, I’ll give you whatever gold, silver, and jewelry you want. How rich is our prince?” Shang Yiqing continued.
Li Guoguo remained silent, his sword in hand as steady as Mt. Tai.
“Ai, then pity me. I have no enmity with you. Killing a person like me is as easy as stepping on an ant. Besides, there’s nothing good in killing me …” Shang Yiqing continued to spout nonsense, but her right hand secretly moved behind her back. Although she did not have a weapon on her, pills were still common, so she wanted to block it, but she did not expect that Li Guo would see through it so clearly. Li Guo Guo said coldly: “You better not play any tricks in front of me, my sword does not recognize humans!”
Shang Yiqing immediately retracted her hand. “Yes, yes, yes. You’re right, chivalrous hero!”
Li Guo moved her sword from Shang Yuqing’s nose to her neck and said sarcastically, “Do you still have anything to say? These are your last words!”
Shang Yiqing asked in surprise, “You really want to hear my last sentence?”
Li Guo shook her sword.
Shang Yiqing took a deep breath and shouted, “Save…” Life … “Ah …
Li Guo had a smile on her face: “Just shout, even if you scream until your throat breaks, no one will care about you!”
He only heard the quiet voice of a person behind him. “You’re wrong. Consort Rong is calling for help, but why is there no one around?”
Hearing this voice, Shang Yiqing felt that everything was so beautiful, because this voice belonged to Dongfang Hao. Dongfang Hao was walking step by step towards Li Guoguo with a calm and free smile on his face, as if he didn’t put Li Guoguo in his eyes at all.
