Chapter 153 Halfway Assassination
Since Yue Linxuan agreed to Qin Shu to take her into the palace to treat the eldest prince, he naturally could not speak out without trust. Moreover, the eldest prince's situation was indeed worrying. Qin Shu saved the child by chance. After showing his skills, even if she did not propose to meet the eldest prince, the sixth prince would find a way to take her there.
The illness of the eldest prince of Xiyue Kingdom has been spreading. The eldest prince is extremely outstanding in literature and martial arts, but unfortunately he is not a legitimate, but he occupies the position of the eldest son. Although the second prince who is legitimate is slightly inferior to him, he is not the A Dou who cannot be helped. The two of them are evenly matched and are both strong competitors to the throne.
The eldest prince suddenly got sick this time, and it was still a strange disease that no one could cure. The atmosphere in the court became strange. The emperor of Xiyue, sitting on the dragon throne, was unclear. The second prince temporarily restrained his edge, and a peaceful temporarily covered up the increasingly surging undercurrents below.
"Look, it is the most famous gem street in our Xiyue Kingdom. The whole street is full of gem business." The Eighth Princess enthusiastically guided Qin Shu some famous places in the Xiyue Kingdom: "There are many merchants from all over the world here to buy gems every day. The gems produced in our Xiyue are also top notch in the world!"
The most famous specialties of Xiyue are gems and flowers. Compared with the precious flowers that are rare and difficult to transport for long distances, gems are obviously more popular among merchants.
"Xiyue is very rich." Qin Shu said this from the heart. Xiyue is a small country, but the annual income is absolutely a lot. It is more than enough to support such a country. The people of Xiyue walking on the streets all look like they live and work in peace and contentment.
"That's natural." Hearing Qin Shu's words, the Eighth Princess bent her lips proudly, revealing two dimples: "You have never seen the phoenix flowers in our Xiyue. They are only available in the palace, but they are beautiful. Unfortunately, the phoenix flowers period has passed, so I can only wait for next year."
Yue Linxuan listened to his sister not stopping and talking to Su Qin all the way. The latter reacted quite coldly. When he occasionally said no, his silly sister could continue talking happily.
This is obviously a temptation! The brother is extremely worried. Su Qin is certainly a handsome talent and has good medical skills, but in terms of this identity, it is far from enough to match the princess.
The Eighth Princess was just talking happily, but a commotion suddenly came from the crowd in front of her. Then a messy woman rushed out of the crowd. Her pretty face was full of panic, and she rushed over as if she was panicking and almost hit the Eighth Princess.
At the critical moment, Qin Shu reached out and pulled her hand. The Eighth Princess stood firm in shock and said angrily: "Where did the troublemaker come from? How dare you collide with me? I'm a girl!" She said with a slight slap and almost called out the princess.
"Help! Girl, save me!" The woman knelt down and kowtowed: "I can do anything, girl, save me! I would rather be a slave, a maid, a cow, a horse, and repay you!"
Five or six strong and fierce men had already caught up with them. When the woman looked back, she was so scared that she was so scared that she immediately hid behind the Eighth Princess: "Please save me, my girl!"
"Where is Xiaodu running? Your father has sold you to us, and he still wants to run away?" As if he was afraid of Qin Shu and his group's gorgeous clothes and intimidating momentum, these people stopped when they ran closer, but they shouted at the woman with a fierce look: "I have signed the contract for selling my body, and you can't help but not!"
"Who are you?" The Eighth Princess had never seen such a situation. She immediately raised her eyebrows and asked: "You dare to force the robbery of the people!"
"My little lady, don't talk nonsense. This girl was sold to our Luliu Pavilion by his father. The silver goods were paid, and the contract was signed. The dead girl wanted to escape. There was no way!" The big man spat and said viciously.
Qin Shu glanced at the panicked woman and said to the Eighth Princess: "Let's go!"
The Eighth Princess was stunned, and Yue Linxuan was also a little surprised. According to the rookie's attitude of not understanding anything, shouldn't he help the woman?
"Oh? Brother Su means, let's not care?" The Sixth Prince was interested and asked with a smile.
"It has nothing to do with us." Qin Shu said naturally: "Buying and selling is the business of both parties. We are a third party and have no right to intervene. Moreover, the people have already paid off all the money, which means that the transaction has been completed."
Passers-by who heard such remarks for the first time were a little stunned. Oh, it turns out that this is possible. Those who draw their swords to help when they see injustice are actually meddling in other people's business, right?
"No, I was cheated. I agreed to sell myself as a maid, but it turned out to be **!" The woman was extremely excited, "It would be better to die clean than to go back with them and be humiliated!" As she said that, she was about to hit the wall not far away.
The Eighth Princess grabbed her: "Useless things! Will you only seek death when you encounter something? Why don't you kill them if you are capable?"
At this moment, something happened suddenly. A dagger suddenly came out from the woman who was pulled. She held the dagger in her hand and turned around suddenly, stabbing her chest towards the eighth princess.
The Eighth Princess completely unexpectedly things would change like this. Seeing the dagger stabbed in her chest, it was too late to hide. She couldn't help but feel the dead were all over, and she sighed secretly that my life was over.
A hand stretched out from the slant, and suddenly pushed the eighth princess's shoulder. A powerful force came. The eighth princess was pushed away by force and fell to the ground, barely avoiding the dagger.
"Young Master Su, be careful!" The Eighth Princess immediately reacted. Su Qin, who saved her at the critical moment, looked up and saw that the woman stabbed Su Qin with a dagger in her hand. The men who were originally chasing her were all fierce and surrounded Su Qin.
Oh no! Their target is Su Qin!
The Eighth Princess came over and said, "Sixth Brother! Ask someone to help!"
Before he finished speaking, a figure had already entered the encirclement like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. It was the ordinary guard beside Su Qin. This man had no fancy moves, but his moves were extremely effective, without any delay. He solved the murderers who suddenly appeared in a moment.
Yue Linxuan slowly vomited out in one breath on his chest, and he squeezed the fan's palm and sweated with relish: "Are you all okay?"
The incident happened too suddenly. The woman who fled and the men chasing suddenly turned into murderers, and the target of attack was Su Qin. Before Yue Linxuan could react, he called out the secret guards who were hiding in the dark to help, Su Qin's guard had already solved the matter in a few seconds.
"Sixth Brother, we are fine." The Eighth Princess smiled like a flower: "Fortunately, Mr. Su extended a helping hand in time, otherwise I would have died!"
After saying that, her eyes suddenly swept into a figure, and her face changed: "Be careful, Brother Six!"
Among the group of people who were knocked to the ground, someone suddenly got up and stabbed Yue Linxuan with a sharp blade in his hand. It happened that Yue Linxuan relaxed his tense spirit and was walking towards them. The man rushed from behind him.
"Look down!" Gu Shaolin shouted softly, and Yue Linxuan subconsciously shrank his neck, and there was only a whoosh sound of breaking through the air. There was a muffled sound of something hitting his body, and there was also a muffled groan from behind. A man fell to the ground with a thump from behind.
"Sixth brother, are you okay?" The Eighth Princess burst into tears: "You are scaring me to death!"
Yue Linxuan was also shocked and sweated. If the guard hadn't taken the timely and accurate action, he would have been in danger now.
The one who threw Gu Shaolin out and hit the other party was a piece of silver. He threw it out with a roar through the air, which shows how terrifying the force was.
"You useless trash! You only came out at this time!" The Sixth Prince was furious at his secret guards. When they came out and took action, he would have already returned to the west!
"Take them all back! I want to see which brave one dares to take action at this time!" The Sixth Prince was actually suspicious of the second prince in his heart. The target of these people was obviously Su Qin. Su Qin is a newcomer. It is impossible for him to have any enemies, because he showed his ability to revive the dead, and he came to save the eldest prince!
The person who secretly instigated this attack must be someone who does not want the eldest prince to get better.
The woman was originally lying on the ground with her eyes closed. When the secret guards were about to catch people, she suddenly jumped up. A round ball fell to the ground, and a thick green smoke burst out, mixed with an unbearable spicy and choking smell.
When these people reacted and dispelled the smoke, the few people on the ground were gone. Gu Shaolin protected Qin Shu, and the sword in his hand was still dripping blood.
He must have hurt someone with this sword just now.
I'm afraid someone just took advantage of the chaos to attack Su Qin again, but he didn't expect that there was an unpredictable guard next to Su Qin!
Those people spared no effort to completely crush the hope of the eldest prince’s recovery! (To be continued)
