After resigning, I switched to fortune-telling

Chapter 26

No matter how much His Royal Highness Rong tried to explain that he knew everything, Xie Tangru became more and more determined to kill His Royal Highness and Shang Qingyao together.

When His Royal Highness King Rong had lost his temper enough, he finally realized that the person he called to tie Xie Tangru hadn't shown up for a long time.

The idea that something is wrong came up vaguely.

Xie Tangru chuckled when he saw this, his delicate and smooth side face flickered in and out of light and shadow, and fell into King Rong's eyes, giving him a ghostly feeling.King Rong suffocated, his hands holding on to the carved sandalwood chair tightened, and he leaned back on the chair, his back rested a little, and his voice was stern: "What did you do? This king's Where did you get people to go?"

"His Highness King Rong's words are strange?" Xie Tangru tilted his head, "It's clear that His Highness ordered people to lure me here, so why ask me where I went?"

The more casual his voice was, the more uneasy King Rong felt.

In Jingzhong, because King Duan seized the opportunity, he was chased and fled around like a dog in the water, which has already left a deep psychological shadow on King Rong.He originally planned to ambush Shang Qingyao at Baiyun Temple, and then take over the army brought by Shang Qingyao.After seeing Xie Tangru and Shang Qingyao together, His Royal Highness King Rong speculated about the psychology of becoming a king, and decided to arrest Xie Tangru and threaten Shang Qingyao.

Seeing King Rong's panicked face, Xie Tangru's expression was calm, as if everything was under control.

Actually—

He also didn't know why King Rong's people had all disappeared.

However, it is still possible to deceive His Royal Highness Rong Wang, this idiot.

Xie Tangru thought casually in his heart.

He was thinking about how to get some useful information out of King Rong's mouth, when there was a sudden commotion outside, sometimes interspersed with voices.Immediately after the lock on the door fell to the ground dully, Xie Tang turned his head subconsciously.

The door was pushed open, and Shang Qingyao, who was supposed to be at the banquet, had his face sinking like water, followed by seven or eight well-trained elites with a chilling air.

Xie Tangru's eyes moved.

Song Xuan, who was following Shang Qingyao, looked curiously at the "Mrs. Ru" who had recently been widely known among Cheng Wang Yigan's subordinates.It's just that she is a little less feminine than ordinary women, and her eyebrows have a kind of compelling sharpness, just like a sharp blade that has just been polished.

…Song Xuan felt that it was only natural that King Cheng would like such a person.

Shang Qingyao walked over quickly, looked Xie Tangru up and down to confirm that he was intact, and heaved a sigh of relief, then shifted his gaze to his elder brother, who had repeatedly made things difficult for him because of the late emperor's favor, and now sat on a chair with two legs fighting, King Rong's face was paler than that of a dead man.

Xie Tangru tugged off his sleeve: "You took away King Rong's people?"

"Well." Shang Qingyao's thin eyelids drooped slightly, "I asked the dark guards to follow you all the way, and when they found something wrong, they cleaned up King Rong's people in time." Fortunately, King Rong came here in a hurry and didn't bring many people with him. , Shang Qingyao still has manpower.

"Since Your Highness has rescued Miss A Fei, you can talk later if you have anything to say." Song Xuan interjected and said with a smile, "Your Highness made an advance move, which caused a lot of people under Yuzhou Governor's subordinates to run away, and now we have to rush there as soon as possible." Pick up the pieces."

Song Xuan's words made Xie Tangru stunned, and at the moment when he was stunned, a silvery white light pierced the air and came towards him with the force of thunder!

There was a momentary blank light and shadow in his mind, Xie Tangru reacted instantly, he turned sideways and wanted to avoid it, but suddenly his waist was taken by a force, and he turned sideways steadily for half a circle before regaining his footing.

It was Shang Qingyao.

Shang Qingyao rescued him.

Xie Tangru's lips moved, looked at the young man who was close at hand, and slowly lowered his eyelashes.The distance between the two of them was too close, so close that Xie Tangru could see the faint shadow under Shang Qingyao's eyelids, and hear the other's clear heartbeat that beat like a drum for a moment and then calmed down a moment later.

As well as the faint smell of blood that began to fill the air, and the bright red marks that spread along Shang Qingyao's shoulders, it was so dazzling that it hurt people's eyes.

"Are you shot?"

It was clearly a definite fact, but Xie Tangru used an unsure tone.

"It's okay." Shang Qingyao said lightly, "The wound is not deep, just ask someone to wait for it to heal."

After thinking about it, he added another sentence to Xie Tangru: "Don't be afraid."

The tone was light and slow, for fear of disturbing anything.

"........."

Xie Tangru did not speak.

Even though he was a moment late in reacting, he was able to avoid that arrow.He didn't need Shang Qingyao to save him, and he didn't want to owe Shang Qingyao a favor.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of King Rong who had already burrowed under the table with his head in his arms. Xie Tangru would rather that the two brothers' personalities were more alike.

... At least he won't be burdened when he does it.

He sighed silently.

Song Xuan retreated behind the pillar, and carefully looked out of the window. The tree was densely packed with machine crossbows, and countless sharp arrows were aimed at them from all directions. His dark eyes were hidden behind the treetops, watching them coldly. Movements in the house.

Densely, it makes the scalp tingle.

It's easy to shoot everyone in this room into hedgehogs.

He crouched down like King Rong with his head in his arms, and shouted at Xie Tangru and Shang Qingyao: "You two, don't be moved there, there are bows and crossbowmen outside, which of you two can figure out a way out? !"

As the words fell, another sharp arrow with red tassels pierced the air, and shot straight into the pillar less than an inch above Song Xuan's head, penetrating three points.

Song Xuan: "..."

Song Xuan closed his mouth.

Xie Tangru had calmed down again.These people outside are not his people, nor will they become kings, so there are eight or nine out of ten people who are left behind by the governor of Yuzhou.

Reminiscent of what Song Xuan said just now, Shang Qingyao probably realized that he was in danger, so he acted ahead of time, resulting in omissions in the situation.He only brought so few people with him, so that the governor of Yuzhou could take advantage of it.

Xie Shizi, who has experienced the feeling of "beautiful beauty and trouble", has a somewhat complicated mood.

He thought for a while and asked, "Is the governor of Yuzhou planning to kill His Royal Highness King Rong together?"

Song Xuan glanced at him.

Shang Qingyao: "I'm afraid the governor of Yuzhou really has this intention."

King Rong really knows how to choose his subordinates well.

Xie Tangru said "tsk tsk" in his heart, he sympathized with what happened to King Rong, so he walked over and took King Rong out from under the table.

He looked at King Rong with his arms propped up with a smile, "His Highness King Rong has such a good relationship with the governor of Yuzhou, so he should know some secrets that are not well known?"

King Rong flicked his sleeves angrily: "I don't know what you're talking about!"

But his eyes dodged a little.

"Really?" Xie Tangru asked softly, "His Royal Highness is so smart, he always knows more than me, an insignificant ordinary person. Anyway, the situation is critical, if His Highness is unwilling to be honest, I can only use some stupid The method——" He elongated his tone, "For example, invite His Highness outside to discuss with the people outside."

King Rong trembled when he heard that.

Xie Tangru stared at him meaningfully.

His people were placed in the Baiyun Temple, and King Rong was able to appear in the Baiyun Temple majestically, but his people didn't notice the slightest clue. It could only be that Rong Wang had other ways to sneak into the Baiyun Temple.

King Rong was a man who cherished his life. Even if he didn't expect the governor of Yuzhou to bite back, he would still consider the way out in case Shang Qingyao didn't die.

Under Xie Tangru's gaze, King Rong's hidden thoughts seemed to be invisible.

He stammered and pointed to under the bed and said, "Under the bed... there is a secret passage under the bed, which can lead to the outside of Baiyun Temple."

Song Xuan went over to check, lifted the wooden board under the bed, and there was indeed a hidden entrance leading to the bottom.

Xie Tangru and Shang Qingyao exchanged glances for a moment before making a decisive decision: "Let's go."

As for the bowmen and crossbowmen outside the house, I'm afraid the governor of Yuzhou's thoughts will be in vain.Xie Tangru bent his eyes indiscriminately, and waited for his people to clean up these bows and crossbowmen, which could be regarded as avenging Shang Qingyao, and repaying the debt.

The secret passage had been built for some years, it was dark and narrow, and could not accommodate two people to pass through at the same time, Song Xuan drove King Rong to the front, while Xie Tangru was at the end, counting slowly in his heart.

After walking for nearly half an hour, the light came in, and when it first fell into the eyes, it hurt the eyes a little.

King Rong was overjoyed, "It's the exit!"

Song Xuan's tense spirit immediately relaxed, and he turned to look at Shang Qingyao.At this moment, King Rong ran towards the exit with all his might.

Song Xuan hurriedly jumped to chase after him, but unexpectedly, when he came out of the secret road, there was a dense forest with towering ancient trees, and the sky was already approaching dusk, and the darkness fell down.Once King Rong entered it, it was difficult to find his trace.

Shang Qingyao said: "Don't chase after the poor."

There was a feeling of weakness in his voice, Xie Tangru looked over and found that there was no blood on his lips.But the arrow went into his shoulder, and the wound wasn't deep, so it wouldn't make Shang Qingyao so weak according to common sense.

Frowning, Xie Tangru cautiously probed: "Is the arrow coated with poison?"

"It's not a poison." Shang Qingyao said, "It's a drug that can paralyze people's perception, and their actions will gradually slow down as time goes by." He smiled wryly, "The right arm has already started to go numb. "

Song Xuan couldn't help showing anxiety when he heard the words: "We must find a place to hold the arrow to prevent the poison from spreading."

Xie Tangru stood on one side, and suddenly said softly: "It seems that someone is coming."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Qingyao and Song Xuan also heard faint footsteps.Song Xuan's expression suddenly changed: "Let's go."

As he spoke, he pushed His Royal Highness Cheng Wang into Xie Tangru's arms, Xie Tangru was silent for a while, and supported him to walk forward.

Such a weak Shang Qingyao... It seems that he has never seen it in a dream.

Xie Tangru was a little lost in thought.

……

"Fortunately, I didn't catch up." Song Xuan sat down, took out flint from his sleeve and prepared to light a fire.He couldn't figure out a good plan. Although he didn't say it was perfect, he was [-]% to [-]% sure. How could it have come to this point.

He sighed for his tragic fate, put his hands on the fire and roasted them, and got up when he felt his consciousness recovered, "I'm going outside to find something to eat, and I'll ask Miss A Fei to help take care of Your Highness."

Xie Tangru looked at Shang Qingyao, His Royal Highness Cheng Wang was already extremely weak, and the effect of the medicine was exerting in his body. If it wasn't for his willpower, he might have passed out before he found this dilapidated Taoist temple.

He nodded.

Song Xuan didn't say anything more, turned around and left with a torch.Although there were many doubts about the performance of this A Fei girl along the way, but His Royal Highness Cheng Wang believed him, so Song Xuan would not say anything.

—Anyway, they are grasshoppers on the same boat now.

Mr. Song, who was thinking this way, was surrounded by people before he walked a mile away. There was a strong smell of blood on their bodies, and it was obvious that they had just experienced a fierce battle.

The leader was a woman with eyes like cold stars in the dark night.Song Xuan met her eyes, and some thought was instantly cleared up. Before he could figure out all the clues, the woman raised her hand and made a gesture, and someone behind her knocked Song Xuan unconscious with a palm.

Before he fainted, the last thing that flashed in his mind was the face of "Miss Ah Fei".

——He had seen this woman next to the girl named A Fei.

Jianshuang watched the man fall down on the spot coldly, "Bring him back to Baiyun Temple, and the others and I will continue to search for Shizi's trace."

Xie Tangru propped his chin and looked at His Highness Cheng Wang carefully. Shang Qingyao met his gaze and smiled unconsciously.

Xie Tangru thought for a while and found a topic: "Actually, you don't have to block that arrow for me, otherwise you wouldn't be like this now."

"I brought you out, so I will bring you back intact." Shang Qingyao answered him seriously, "You don't need to feel guilty or sorry for this... Ah Fei, I'm a little tired."

"Then you take a break." Xie Tangru thought that even though his willpower was beyond ordinary people, he should have reached his limit at this moment, so he involuntarily slowed down his tone, "I will watch you."

These words seemed to have touched Shang Qingyao, His Royal Highness King Cheng's eyelashes moved, and they were so heavy that they were completely closed, falling into the long darkness.

The firewood continued to burn, crackling sparks splashed everywhere, and the few crisp sounds did not break Xie Tangru's meditation.

He looked at His Highness Cheng Wang seriously like never before, and was so quiet that he seemed to have fallen into a long, dark dream with Shang Qingyao.

When Jianshuang walked in, she found her family's golden and precious eldest son squatting on the ground, holding a dagger in his hand, making gestures at the neck of the unconscious King Cheng from the air.

The candlelight stretched the shadow until it twisted, and Jianshuang stood quietly behind Xie Tangru.

After a long time, Xie Tangru asked, "Have those people been dealt with?"

Jianshuang knew that he was talking about those bowmen and crossbowmen, which were specially prepared for King Cheng.However, if Xie Tang didn't want to lose his own manpower, someone suggested to the governor of Yuzhou to hire Jianghu assassins with a lot of money to carry bows and crossbows and bury them in Baiyun Temple in advance.

Unexpectedly, the governor of Yuzhou had a big appetite. Not only did he want to kill Shang Qingyao, but he also wanted to kill everyone.

"Two ran away." Jianshuang replied.

"In this case," Xie Tangru looked regretfully at His Royal Highness Cheng Wang who fell into a coma, "it can't be regarded as revenge for you."

Nor can it be regarded as two clear.

He also owed Shang Qingyao for saving his life.

Xie Shizi sighed sadly, dropped the dagger, Jianshuang's eyelids twitched, but saw Xie Tangru's blade swivel from King Cheng's neck, landed on his shoulder, and quickly and neatly picked out the arrow that had stuck into his skin.

The blood-stained arrow with a faint blue luster fell to the ground.

King Cheng groaned.

"You save me once, and I will let you go." Xie Tangru said with a slight smile, "The next time we meet, we will still be enemies."

After he finished speaking, he didn't look at Shang Qingyao again, and stepped straight out of the door, his jet-black hair scattered in the cold night wind, curly like a messy mood at this moment.

Jianshuang followed him a step behind, lowered her eyes, wondering if she should tell Xie Tangru what she had just found out.

After hesitating for a moment, she still said to Xie Tangru: "The person we sent to investigate the life of Mr. Yao Shang has returned."

"They said that in the entire three northern states, no one who met the conditions mentioned by the prince was found."
