Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 453
Chapter 453 Bid Farewell to the Capital
The night became denser and darker. The black night sky was like a monster as it opened its mouth and roared angrily at everyone.
Not long after, one could already see that many of the black-clothed men riding horses nearby could only lower themselves on horseback. However, at this moment, all the horses actually cried out like this, and then knelt down with a loud crash, knocking everyone on horseback to the ground.
Many people’s eyebrows furrowed tightly, and their expressions were extremely embarrassed. They wanted to take advantage of this to get up from the ground, but they did not have the slightest bit of strength.
At this time, Zhou Jingxu’s guards had already killed the two black-clothed men. He walked over to the carriage with his bloody sword in hand. With a respectful expression, he said in an extremely low voice, “Reporting to His Highness the ninth prince, the two black-clothed men have all been killed.”
Inside the carriage, Zhou Jingxu gave a loud shout. Then, he looked at the black-clothed men in the distance. A wisp of killing intent flashed through his eyes. Then, he said, “Kill all those people who chased after him.”
The two guards received their orders and immediately walked over with their swords in their hands.
Because the black-clothed men were poisoned by Rong Ruo early in the morning, they were powerless. Only two or three people could still lift their swords. When they saw the two guards, they did not ask anything and immediately went forward. The black-clothed men who could not stand up trembled as they took out signal flares from their bosoms and released them into the night sky.
The gorgeous five colors flew in the sky, extremely dazzling. At this dazzling moment, they were able to clearly see the blood stains on each other’s swords that flickered with red light.
After the stench of blood entered the carriage, Yunxiao couldn’t help but feel a surge of acid in her heart. However, when she saw that everyone’s expressions were filled with worry, she gazed out in unison and could only forcefully suppress the pain in her stomach.
After a while, Qing Mo also walked over with his sword in hand. There were also traces of red blood on the sword that slid down drop by drop. At the same time, she also supported Qing Liu. At this moment, Qing Liu’s face was pale without a trace of blood. On the contrary, her lips were ashen. It was obvious that she was poisoned.
Qing Mo brought Qing Liu to the carriage and said respectfully, “Madam, the person has been killed.”
Hearing this, Yun Xiao said, He lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out. This time, he opened the curtain and the thick smell of blood filled his nose again, causing Yun Xiao’s face to become even paler. Seeing Qing Liu’s appearance, he knew that he was poisoned. He took out an antidote from his body and handed it over. “This is the antidote left behind by Rong Jin. It should be useful for Qing Liu. Let him take it first.”
When Qing Mo heard this, a burst of deep gratitude surged on his face. He bowed respectfully in Yun Xiao’s direction before saying, “Thank you, Madam.”
After Yun Xiao and Qing Liu took the medicine, they looked at Qing Mo. Seeing that Qing Mo was not injured, they heaved a sigh of relief and looked at the carriage not far away. “How are Chun Mei and Chun Lan now?”
“Madam, Chun Mei and Chun Lan are both poisoned now, and the rest are fine.” Those people were chasing after Yun Xiao. They thought that the one in the carriage was Yun Xiao and poisoned them, but they didn’t kill them.
Originally, they wanted to leave to report news to Yunxiao, but they didn’t expect that they would be discovered and kidnapped by those people.
Yun Xiao took out two more antidotes and handed them, “Let’s give the antidote to Chun Mei Chun Lan first. We’ll talk about the other lanterns. Qing Mo will help kill all the black-clothed people over there. Also, we’ll search for something that symbolizes their identities.”
Yun Xiao’s words were not merciful at all. In fact, today’s calamity caused Yun Xiao to be completely ruthless. Those people all wanted to kill her one by one. In the past, she was not a killer, but now it was different. Not only did those people become more fierce, but she was pregnant and had her own baby.
No one knew how much she longed for her own child, so someone dared to kill her, even if it was for the sake of her child, she would not show mercy!
The ruthlessness in Yun Xiao’s words caused Qing Mo to frown in surprise, but he quickly suppressed this surprise.
On the contrary, she felt a little happier in her heart. Yun Xiao’s temperament in the past was really a little weak. If she followed Rong Jin back to Country of Xiyue, she would not be able to protect herself. Now, she was so decisive that she could live in the Country of Xiyue Imperial Palace without any hesitation.
It had to be said that Qing Mo was very far-sighted in this matter.
However, if Yun Xiao knew what Qing Mo was thinking, she would definitely scoff. She once said that she would not follow Rong Jin into the Country of Xiyue Imperial Palace.
However, could the truth really be as simple as Yun Xiao thought?
Qing Mo and Qing Liu went to do their own things. After Yun Xiao sat back in the carriage, it was already difficult to suppress the tumbling of her stomach. After saying so many words, Yun Xiao’s expression became a little ugly. Just as she got into the carriage, Rong Ruo said with a worried expression, “Mother, how are you?”
Yun Xiao rubbed Rong Ruo’s hair and whispered, “I’m fine, don’t worry. It’s just that those people have already used signal flares to inform the others. We shouldn’t stay here for long. We need to leave early.”
“Mother is right,” If we continue to stay, if there are more black-clothed people chasing after us, then they will only have so few people. It will obviously be much more difficult for them to escape.
Seeing that Rong Ruo also agreed, Yun Xiao turned around and bowed respectfully in Zhou Jingxu’s direction. She said softly, “Today, Ruo Ruo and I are leaving. See you in the future. I wonder when Yun Xiao will use tea instead of wine to thank the Ninth Prince for saving our lives today.”
After Yun Xiao finished speaking, Su Shou stepped forward. Zhou Jingxu handed two cups of tea to Zhou Jingxu. Seeing that Yun Xiao said that he really wanted to leave, Zhou Jingxu felt a little strange. However, he knew that he would not stay for long. He could only nod his head and take the cup in Yun Xiao’s hand. He drank it with Yun Xiao before saying, “Wood, don’t worry about leaving. As long as I’m here, I will protect Yun Clan.”
Yun Xiao Yan Jie was a little grateful. He seemed to have said only one sentence, but what he said was the most important promise.
Yun Xiao stood up and bowed towards Zhou Jingxu. Seeing what Zhou Jingyan wanted to say, she immediately smiled and said, “I know. When I come back, I owe you another meal.”
Her words with a faint smile swept away the stagnation in the carriage.
Seeing that Yun Xiao wanted to get off the carriage, Zhou Jingxu whispered, “Why don’t you take my carriage and leave?”
Yun Xiao shook her head. She already owed Zhou Jingxu a favor and didn’t want to owe more. She just smiled and said, “No need, I have a lot of things in that carriage. It’s more troublesome to change the carriage. It’s good to take our carriage and leave. Let’s say goodbye today.”
Rong Ruo saw the light flickering in Zhou Jingxu’s eyes. Her expression was inexplicable. For a moment, she couldn’t say whether she was sympathetic or pity him. However, no matter what, her mother was her own. He definitely wouldn’t give in.
Thinking about meeting again in the future, even if it was the enemy, his heart would feel a little sad. Although he had only met Zhou Jingxu twice, he felt a sense of pity in his heart. “I hope that when we meet next time, we can still be friends.”
Zhou Jingxu did not know what Rong Ruo meant. He nodded and smiled, “Alright.”
Rong Ruo helped Yun Xiao out of the carriage. At the end of Qing Dynasty, Zhou Jingxu’s two guards had also turned around. Obviously, all of them were dead. Because they had used corpse powder, there was only a pool of blood left on the ground and nothing else.
As soon as Qing Mo walked in, a bloody smell came over. Yun Xiao’s face became even paler, but she still chuckled and said, “Let’s go.”
Zhou Jingxu got off the carriage and personally delivered Yun Xiao to the carriage.
Although Qing Mo and the others knew that Yun Xiao was pregnant, they did not know that Yun Xiao could not smell the smell of blood. Although they were worried in their hearts, they knew that this was not the time to stay.
When Yun Xiao got into the carriage, she saw Chun Mei and Chun Lan sleeping in the carriage. Although their faces were ashen, because they had already taken the antidote, Yun Xiao wasn’t too worried as long as everyone was still alive.
He opened the curtain and waved his hand at Zhou Jingxu outside, staring fixedly at his green face.
In this lifetime, she could be said to have made up for everything that had happened in her previous life, but she was still ashamed of him alone.
Rong Ruo climbed onto the carriage and looked at Yun Xiao’s expression. She knew that there must be something that Yun Xiao and Zhou Jingxu didn’t know. It seemed that Zhou Jingxu was a very important threat. After returning, she must tell her father.
The carriage slowly left, but Zhou Jingxu remained motionless as he watched the carriage leave his line of sight.
He had missed both lives, so it seemed that he really had no fate with her.
A violent sound of horse hooves rang out, and the guard immediately said, “Your Highness, do you want to leave now?”
Zhou Jingxu’s lips curled into a cold smile. He glanced in the direction where the sound came from. The sound of horse hooves was evident.
Yun Xiao and the others had just left. If he left now, these people would be faster than Yun Xiao and the others. They would soon catch up with Yun Xiao. At that time, Yun Xiao would be in danger.
He couldn’t do anything for her, but he could help her block the enemies in front of him!
Zhou Jingxu quickly walked over and set up an array formation on the official road. This array formation was very complicated, but it was very useful. It was also because this array formation was large, but it could trap more people. In this way, Yun Xiao would no longer have any worries about the future.
When Zhou Jingxu heard the footsteps coming closer and closer, he quickened his pace. When he placed the final array eye, Zhou Jingxu’s face had already turned a lot paler because he had gone to too much trouble.
“Your Highness, are you alright?” The guard immediately walked over because he was worried.
Zhou Jingxu shook his head. His voice was cold and fierce, and his calm voice carried a trace of unconcealable dignity. “Wait in the formation. If anyone enters, they will be killed. You can’t let anyone break out of here!”
