Death Princess

The first ray of sunlight in the morning illuminated the earth brightly, and the first snow that had accumulated in the middle of the night showed signs of melting.The coldness of Huaxue made Chaolu on the horse shiver. She rubbed the hand holding the rein, yawned and slowed down her forward speed, and she turned half sideways, waiting for her brother behind to catch up.

"Master Qin, you have been sitting in the official sedan chair for a long time, will your butt hurt when you ride a horse?" Zhao Lu teased Qin Hui as he drove the horse closer to Qin Hui's side.

"It's just an official sedan chair from the sixth-rank Zhima official. I didn't go to carry the sedan chair for the prince. It's all thanks to your brother and I have something in my belly, unlike those young masters who fight for their parents."

"Is there something in my belly? Whose?" Zhao Lu laughed scornfully.

"Hey, little Lulu, are you itchy?" As he spoke, he picked up the whip and wanted to swing it at Chaolu's ass.

With a slight push on the horse, Chao Lu easily dodged the casual whip of his elder brother, "Is it you, Xiao Huihui, who is itchy? Look at you, you are always sitting on pins and needles no matter where you sit. Most likely, you are the one who is getting itchy." Father and mother taught me a lesson."

"I'm sorry to mention, whose blessing is this? Who ran out to do errands, and was carried back half dead. He kicked his feet, closed his eyes, and fell asleep for three to five days. Leave it all to me, poor bastard?"

"Can you still blame me? If I hadn't been so merciful and merciful to help Xiao Huihui, you hid the matter of helping the prince pay for murder, and if your parents knew that the name of the client behind the first-class task was you, then it wouldn't be a pain in the butt." It’s okay to hurt.”

"Hey girl, why don't you do this for my brother? Is it possible that you are really waiting for the prince to send secret guards to enter the sword sect? Also," Qin Hui shifted his position on the horse's back somewhat awkwardly, "what is 'ass? It’s just a matter of pain’? It’s just that my brother hasn’t used swordsmanship for a long time, and he didn’t perform well when he was asked by my father to compete.”

"Pfft," Chao Lu was so teased that she almost choked on her own saliva, "his butt hit the ground and the lawn was bald, so you can call it 'not playing well' in a grandiose way."

"Look at you who don't feel pain in your back when you stand and talk. If you hadn't been lying on the couch unconscious, you would have been a part of this 'buttocks landing' torture servant." Qin Hui rolled his eyes, "You should be Did we really hide the matter of the first-class mission? You think you deliberately stimulated King Ping to set him up, wouldn’t my father and mother know? Why did my father ask me to discuss it? You don’t understand? Isn’t it just an excuse? Serve me. This is great, my parents will count all the accounts of not returning home for three years and recent events on my poor ass."

Will my father and mother not know?How come.

Thinking of her father's earnest teaching that day, Zhao Lu put away her smile.

"However, although you escaped with an injury," Qin Hui moved closer to his sister and said mysteriously, "I am not the only one who was 'discussed' this time. Having tapped the big acupoint, she probably still has pain in her left shoulder and can't sleep, don't look at Dad like that, it's really an accidental vengeance and protection."

"You mean, Leng Tong?" Subconsciously, Zhao Lu touched the wound on her left shoulder that hadn't fully healed.

"Who else could it be?"

"She didn't leave that day?" Zhao Lu vaguely remembered some scenes she saw when she was asleep, some fragments that she thought were just ordinary dreams, but now it seems that they are prophetic dreams in another sense.

"Let's go, but I didn't make it. Poison fell halfway." As if he had known Zhao Lu's question for a long time, Qin Hui answered very quickly.

"poison?"

"Colorless, odorless and highly poisonous." Qin Hui's expression turned serious, "I heard that it was Jiang Tang, the head of the Shadow Sect, who instructed her to assassinate you a second time. The eight-character purple order forced her to make a choice. If you guessed correctly, Jiang Tang must have had something to do with the Ou family's betrayal of the dark pavilion at this juncture. But why did he let the purple order go unnecessarily? , and whether the transaction between Ou Xueli and Feng Yuwei is related to it, it is unknown. But don't worry, Ziling has been found, and Dad handed it over to Leng Tong."

Indeed, the escape of the Ou family siblings, the appearance of Feng Yuwei, and Leng Tong's attack, the three are really too coincidental.But... why Jiang Tang?Why did Jiang Tang focus on his own life?What is his relationship with the imperial court and Fengyuwei?What other purpose did he have in letting the Ou family go?Doubt filled Chao Lu's heart.

"Why is it Jiang Tang?" Qin Hui seemed to understand his sister's mind, "I am also wondering. But as to why Jiang Tang sent Leng Tong to attack in such a twists and turns, I may be able to guess one or two. Although you were already With Yao Jingyu, Leng Tong's apprentice, the relationship between Leng Tong and Shadow Gate was thoroughly provoked, but no matter what, forcing Leng Tong to take action is the best choice to reduce the loss of Shadow Gate. That is to say..."

"Jiang Tang's move has nothing to do with Yingmen's interests, but has other reasons." Zhao Lu added Qin Hui's words, "The only problem left is Jiang Tang, the adopted son of the former owner who suddenly appeared three years ago. Yes. Do you think," looking at Qin Hui, "he has something to do with King Ping?"

"It's hard to say." Qin Hui shook his head as he answered, "Did Aunt warn you? Her emperor's cousin."

"Well, Father said so." Zhao Lu lowered her eyes, Qin Hui didn't say anything, both of them seemed to turn their attention to their eyes, and hurried on their way seriously.

I don't know when, the sun has exposed the whole face, driving away the coldness of the early winter morning.The two brothers and sisters rode the horse forward like this, neither fast nor slow. The horses were very close to each other, as if they were whispering, but there was no more words between the horse owners.

After a long time, the two of them took a shortcut and came to a deserted withered forest.

"Let me tell you," Qin Hui said lazily, looking at his sister tentatively, "why bother. All we want is that Leng Tong's identity and the blood-colored jade pendant that can prove it. Doesn’t Dad have a piece of his jade pendant? As long as the word “hibiscus” on it is erased, it is enough to make it look like “real”. Why bother with Leng Tong, get rid of her, ask Dad for a jade pendant, and replace it as a When the princess of the court, why not enjoy eating and drinking spicy food with Yi'er in the palace?"

It wasn't surprising that the words hadn't finished yet, Qin Hui saw that his younger sister Chao Lu's face darkened, and he could even feel the spirit emanating from her. "Don't mention this matter again, we have agreed long ago that no matter what happens along the way, we will do something and not do something." She said.

"Even if she almost killed you twice?" Qin Hui didn't stop there.

After glaring at Qin Hui who deliberately caused trouble, Zhao Lu didn't answer.

"Hey, look at this attitude of beating and scolding." Qin Hui suddenly drove his horse to the front where Chaolu couldn't reach, and said with a playful smile, "In just a few days, little Lulu, you have settled your life's important affairs?" Said After finishing, he rode his horse and ran away as if afraid of revenge.

Qin Hui ran like that while laughing out loud, as if he had guessed that Zhao Lu would not be able to catch up, but as he ran, he found something was wrong. He realized that the surrounding scene had been changing continuously since just now Repeatedly, nothing has changed.

"Ah! Damn girl!" Qin Hui hastily reined in his horse, "When will you use the illusion?" He snapped his fingers and waved his hand, but found that the surrounding scene had not changed. He was anxious, "Stinky girl! Unleash the illusion." Already!" Although he already knew that his younger sister was far superior to him both in terms of spiritual power and martial arts, but being so directly trapped in the illusion, Qin Hui was more or less embarrassing.

"Oh? What did you call me for?" Zhao Lu's angry voice came from all directions.

"...Little Lulu," Qin Hui squeezed out the most gentle voice, "Can you let me out?"

"Huh? 'Brother'?"

"..." The corners of his mouth twitched, and the roots of his teeth clenched, Qin Hui, with a tragic expression like a strong man cutting off his wrist, said the address he had sworn never to use again in this life, "Ah... Sister, brother, I know I was wrong , you can spare me, brother." Qin Hui limply lay on the horse's back.

The two are twins, and the order of elder and younger is based on the mouths of the people in the delivery room, but by coincidence, except for the deceased biological mother, everyone who stayed in the delivery room at that time was a little confused.Therefore, Zhao Lu has always been dissatisfied with the fact that she was randomly selected as a late-born woman by those confused people. She used to take this opportunity to bully Qin Hui and force him to call her sister.

"Xiao Huihui, be good." As soon as the words fell, the scene in front of Qin Hui's eyes began to change. After the illusion was released, he realized that the two of them had just stepped into the dead forest.

Did this girl perform illusions from the moment she opened her mouth?Cut, full of bad water.

"Here." Zhao Lu ignored Qin Hui's grievances, but threw something to him.

"What is this?" Qin Hui asked after receiving the item before checking it.

"Father's jade pendant," shrugged his shoulders, "don't you want it? Take it, and change the status of Prince Ji's only son to be a prince, and eat and drink spicy food with Yi'er in the capital, isn't it good? Besides, you know better than me the other uses of this jade pendant. There are not a few people in the Ningjia Army and Dingyuan Army who owe favors to King Ji."

"What do you mean?" This time, it was Qin Hui's turn to be the dark-faced person, and he squeezed the thing in the palm of his hand without even looking at it, as if he wanted to crush it.

"Could it be possible, Xiao Huihui, that you haven't thought about it? A man should stand upright. Are you really willing to serve He Yi in this way, and when things are done, retire? The first three thousand emperors in the face? Although my dad is a daughter and has no royal blood, he is a real king of Ji. And you, although you are not born to your father and mother, are the son of the king who is better than your own. Dragon chair, throne," Zhao Lu narrowed his eyes, with a strange smile in his eyes, "He Yuhui, don't you want it?"

Snapped!The jade pendant in his hand, which was enough to mobilize tens of millions of soldiers and horses and stand above ten thousand people, was thrown by Qin Hui on the ground mixed with rotten leaves and mud.

"You have your bottom line, and I naturally have mine. I believe in Yi'er just like you believe in Leng Tong." A trace of anger flashed in Qin Hui's eyes, and a kind of chill enveloped the withered forest, "My love for Yi'er , better than you than Leng Tong. Don't mention this matter again."

"Pfft." Under Qin Hui's rare coercion, Zhao Lu smiled unkindly, "I knew you would answer like that."

The blood-red jade pendant was particularly conspicuous in the khaki mud, but when Zhao Lu finished speaking, a ray of white light swept across, and the blood-red jade pendant turned into a black stone.

"Fortunately, I had the foresight not to give you the real jade pendant."

"Little Lulu, you..." Qin Hui was tossed about and fell silent for a long time.

"After such a personal experience, Xiao Huihui," Zhao Lu became serious, "You also know that some jokes are not allowed?"

"Yes, yes, yes," Qin Hui sighed in plea, "Brother, ahem, my fault, my fault."

"Knowing your mistakes can make a big difference." Zhao Lu pretended to touch the non-existent beard, and then lifted the rein, "Stop making trouble, let's go, or we will sleep on the street again tonight. Drive!"

Two horses galloped through the forest at noon.

The author has something to say:

Qin Hui: I am brother!

Chaolu: Oh?Okay, then please, brother, sleep in the woods today.

Qin Hui: Brother...

Chaolu: Huh?

Qin Hui: Sister, there are a lot of adults, spare my brother's life...
