The prince really doesn't want to fight

"My lord! The tents are all set up. Miss Qin's tent is next to the lord's tent. Would you like to go in and rest now?" Yin Zhen reported to Wei Ji.

"It's still early, and I've rested in the carriage for a long time during the day, but I'm not sleepy. The night is so beautiful, why don't miss Qin play a song? Before, miss Qin said that she owed me a song." Wei Ji said.

"Xiaolu, go and fetch the guqin for me."

"Yes, ma'am."

The same moonlit night, still the same song, still intoxicating.Qin Xuanyue's slender and slender hands kept playing with the strings, sometimes urgently, sometimes slowly.The sound of the music is beautiful and unreal, like flowing clouds and flowing water.On summer nights, the cool wind blows and brushes through the pores, refreshing.After one piece, Qin Xuanyue played another piece, this piece was different from the previous one, it was so sad and beautiful that it made people cry.Wei Ji stared in a daze at the flickering flames in the distant bonfire, and remained motionless. He thought of his mother and her mother's last request before she died.

Wei Ji will never forget that when he was eight years old, his concubine mother was seriously ill. She pushed back everyone, held on her last breath, pulled him to the bed, and said to him weakly: "Answer...promise...mother concubine , in the future, I must...don't...be...the emperor, don't...compete with...and Wei Cong for the position of crown prince." At that time, Wei Ji didn't understand why the queen mother said that, he always thought that only when his father behaved well in every way would he be happy .So he worked hard to get the praise of the Taifu when he was studying in the study room, and he also practiced riding and shooting diligently.His father often said to him: "Ji'er, study hard, study hard to govern the country, practice riding and shooting hard, keep fit, and defend the country. After the father is a hundred years old, this Mingyao country wants you to replace the father. The emperor took good care of it, hahaha."

One year after the death of the concubine mother, the emperor father also passed away.Mingyao Kingdom advocates establishing a heir rather than an elder. Wei Ji, as the queen's son, should have ascended the throne logically and become the new generation of Mingyao Emperor.But his elder brother Wei Cong saw that Wei Ji was young, so he set up an army to fight for it.A large number of courtiers stood on Wei Ji's side and supported Wei Ji's ascension to the throne, but Wei Ji surrendered himself and voluntarily abdicated the throne, saying: my younger brother is too young to manage the state affairs, and I hope my elder brother will take over.Prime Minister Lin Tongrong was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot, and the guard Cong ascended the throne. Because he had a grudge against Lin Tongrong's strong opposition to his ascension to the throne at that time, he found an excuse to destroy his family.

"My lord? My lord?" Qin Xuanyue stared at the front as if in a daze when she saw that Wei Ji was motionless.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I was rude." Wei Ji wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes without leaving any trace.

"Is it because the tune I played is not good? It distracted the prince."

"No, it's Miss Qin's melody that is so moving that I can't help but think of some past events and arouse some emotions."

"It's getting late. If the lord has nothing to do, Xuanyue and Xiaolu will go to rest in the tent." Qin Xuanyue wanted to rest early after the exhausted journey.

"Okay, Miss Qin, go and rest."

"Well, the prince should also rest earlier." Qin Xuanyue backed away.

Now that the past is brought back, how can I sleep peacefully.Wei Ji wanted to walk alone without letting Yin Zhen follow, and ordered her to protect Miss Qin's safety.He never understood what his mother said when he was dying, until he found that his body was the same as Yin Zhen's, and then he understood why his mother didn't let him ascend the throne as emperor.Ascend to the throne as a woman, if someone finds out in the future, the world will be in chaos.Therefore, ever since he discovered the abnormality in his body, Wei Ji has been looking for fun everywhere on the surface, ignorant of learning and skills, but secretly cultivated nine 72 guards to protect himself.

"My lord, we followed that female assassin all the way to Chongming Mountain, and found that she was a disciple of Zhang Xu, the head of the Chongming sect. Then, we investigated Miss Qin's life experience, and there is indeed news that her mother may be in Yunguo. She is the Go look for her mother." Wei Ji walked into a remote place, and Bai Zhuo, the head of the nine gates and seventy-two guards, suddenly appeared to report.

"Did you find out why she wanted to assassinate the king?"

"This... the subordinates are also very puzzled."

"Are you sure it wasn't sent by the emperor?"

"No. This person has nothing to do with the court."

"Well, that's all. You go back, I want to be alone."

"Yes!"

Hearing Bai Zhuo's report just now that the female assassin is a disciple of Zhang Xu, the head of the Chongming sect, Wei Ji has never offended martial arts people, and he has no connection with the Chongming sect, why did he assassinate him?After much deliberation, he still couldn't figure out what to do. He walked and thought, and unknowingly walked into the depths of the dense forest. The bonfire next to the tent looked like a small fire.Afraid that it would be dangerous to go further inside, Wei Ji prepared to turn back.

He stopped suddenly, obviously feeling a cold sword against his back.

"My lord, we meet again!" A woman's voice came from behind.

"Bai Zhuo! Bai Zhuo!" Wei Ji recognized that this was the voice of the female assassin who had been let go before. At that time, this female assassin was often molested by him. Now there is no guard around him. If she falls into her hands, she will definitely die .

"It's useless, there's no one around." The woman walked up to Wei Ji and pointed her sword at his heart.Wei Ji thought to himself: Maybe some kind of poison was rubbed on the sword, a stab with the sword would definitely kill him.This time, he was sure to die, and no one could hear him yelling, and he blamed himself for walking so far.

Since he was determined to die, he calmed down at this moment: "It seems that this king must die tonight. Before you die, can you let me know why you want to kill this king?"

Wei Ji couldn't escape even if she thought about it, so she put away the sword in her hand. "It's okay for you to understand. Can you remember... ah..."

"careful!"

The woman was about to tell the reason, when a big black snake was spitting out a red letter coiled on the branch, and the branch was facing the top of the woman's head, just said the word "remember", the big snake directly took a bite on the woman's neck.The severe pain hit, and the woman threw the snake with her hands, and fainted faintly.I saw that snake was completely black, with a triangular head and a bright red letter. One-third of the snake's body stood up, and it looked extremely poisonous.Wei Ji hastily picked up the woman's sword and slashed at the big snake, which was cut in half immediately.

I wanted to just walk away and ignore it.After taking two steps, he still didn't make up his mind. "Hey, let's save it!" Wei Ji brushed the woman's hair away, and saw two teeth marks on her neck, which were obviously left by a poisonous snake just now, and the wound was already black. He couldn't care less, and bent down to face her. The poisonous blood was sucked out of the wound until it was bright red.At this moment, he felt that his mouth was going to be swollen from suction, so he took great effort to help the woman up, carried her on his back and walked back.It didn't feel far to walk slowly just now, but now that I have someone on my back, and my body is weak, I was so tired that I was out of breath, so I had to take a rest after walking a few steps, and I was sweating profusely after walking for a long time.

After returning to the station with difficulty, they found that the ground was in a mess, all the tents were burned down by the fire, and not a single guard was left. "Yin Zhen... Yin Zhen!" Wei Ji put down the woman and searched every corner, but found no living person.

"My lord, we are here!" Yin Zhen helped Qin Xuanyue out of a half-burnt tent.

"What's going on here?" Wei Ji asked hastily.

"Not long after the prince left, we were ambushed. They first attacked and burned our tent, and then dozens of black-clothed masked assassins with high martial arts skills came out. The guards couldn't resist it. Two or three of them His martial arts are so high that even...even Yin Zhen can't beat him." Yin Zhen said.

"Is Miss Qin all right? Where's Xiaolu?"

"I only suffered a little injury, thanks to Yin Zhen who rescued me, little... Xiaolu was burned to death while protecting me..." Qin Xuanyue couldn't help feeling sad, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"My condolences to Miss Qin!" Wei Ji didn't know how to comfort her. He originally said to protect her to go to Yunguo, but now he didn't even protect her closest maid. "Miss Qin, don't worry, Xiaolu and these guards are buried tomorrow, and we will set off to Yunguo to find your mother as soon as possible."

"My lord, who is that?" Yin Zhen saw a woman in black lying in the distance.

"Oh, this is the female assassin from last time."

"Female assassin? The female assassin who assassinated the prince? Why did the prince bring the assassin back?"

Wei Ji told them the whole story of what happened just now.Yin Zhen said unhappily: "She still wants to assassinate the prince, she deserves to be bitten by a snake, it's better to be poisoned to death, and the prince wants to take drugs for her?"

"I still don't know why she wants to kill me. How can she die so easily?" Wei Ji asked Yin Zhen to come over and help her lift the girl up. The weather is hot, so as not to cause inflammation and fester on the wound, apply some The ointment for treating snake venom, the four of them took a short rest and rested on the spot for a night.

The next day, the sun rose.Thin drops of water adhered to Wei Ji's long and dense eyelashes, like crystal clear pearls.The subtle rays of light shone on his skin, making it appear fairer and more supple.Wei Ji slowly opened his eyes, checked that the others were still awake, walked up to the woman, and took her breath with his index finger. "Very good, still alive." Wei Ji muttered.

Maybe it was Wei Ji who woke her up. When he opened his eyes, he found that his hands and feet were bound. He stared at Wei Ji and said nervously, "What do you want? Let me go!"

"What do you want to do yesterday when you were in a coma, why do you have to wait until now? Your life was saved by this king. When you woke up, you didn't get a word of thanks, but you came to question me." Wei Wei Don't say it angrily.

Qin Xuanyue and Yin Zhen woke up one after another. Seeing the woman arguing with Wei Ji, Yin Zhen hurried over, fearing that the female assassin would hurt her master. "What are you yelling at! My lord kindly sucked the poisonous blood for you and saved you, yet you still yell at our lord? If I had known, I would have thrown you into the forest and let the wild dogs snatch you away!"

"I……"

"What are you! My lord is your savior now, don't you still want to avenge your kindness? Can you continue to assassinate my lord?" Seeing that the woman was speechless, Yin Zhen spoke even more vigorously.

"Okay, Yin Zhen! If you tie her up like this, you won't be able to kill me." Wei Ji didn't want to piss her off, he just wanted to know why she kept chasing and killing him.Turning to the woman, she said, "Why do you keep chasing me so hard? I have nothing to do with your Chongming faction, yet you repeatedly put me to death."

"How do you know I'm from the Chongming sect? What else do you know?" the woman asked in surprise.

"Of course this king knows everything."

"Since you know everything, the prince doesn't need to ask me."
