Nan Xuzong smiled and picked her up from the bed, placing her in his arms. He knew she must have questions and he was determined to go along with her wishes. "Did I scare you?" he said gently. This was the real him!
Ji Wushang blinked, and Nan Xuzong finally realized that she had been silenced and silenced by acupressure! Damn it, how was that person able to acupressure her without her resisting or shouting?
He released her pressure points, and Ji Wushang immediately gasped for breath, her brows furrowing with a hint of anger. "Nan Xuzong, why did you blindfold me just now to prevent me from speaking or moving?"
Nan Xuzong was stunned. Someone was impersonating him? Who could it be? He knew that Huangfu Xuan had impersonated him and acted with him before, but just now Huangfu Xuan was clearly discussing something with him. After the discussion, he returned here, while Huangfu Xuan went directly to Ma Ruyi's place, so it definitely wasn't Huangfu Xuan.
Nan Xuzong remained calm, gently stroking her dark hair. "I was just joking with you to test your reaction."
"Really?" Ji Wushang looked at him, somewhat doubtful and disbelieving. "Then, then why, why did you just now..." She lowered her eyes, not daring to continue.
Nan Xuzong was stunned. What she said really ignited his anger. Damn it, how dare she impersonate him and do that to Ji Wushang! Thank goodness she didn't do anything too outrageous! Damn it!
"How have I treated you, hmm?" He tried his best to keep a smile on his face. Yes, he couldn't let her know this, otherwise she would definitely be extremely ashamed. He didn't want these unpleasant things to remain in her heart.
“…I’m not saying anything more!” Ji Wushang looked at him, thinking he was teasing her again, so she lowered her head and remained silent.
"Then don't be angry anymore, okay? Hmm?" He affectionately pinched the bridge of her nose. "You look so beautiful!"
Uh. Ji Wushang paused, looking at him, "I'm not angry anymore." But she still felt something was off, something she couldn't quite put her finger on!
Nan Xuzong kissed her lips. "Let's go back!"
"Is everything done?" she asked, looking at him.
"Hmm." Nan Xuzong smiled. "Invite the enemy into the trap."
Ji Wushang smiled, treating what had just happened as a minor incident. "Looking forward to it!"
Fusang Inn.
The place was in complete chaos, with the six ambassadors pacing back and forth in the hall.
"Why hasn't the Lord returned yet?" Ashda turned to look at the messengers, but they were just as anxious and didn't know what had happened!
But at that moment, a dart pierced the inn! It stuck directly into a pillar in the main hall! Ashda was astonished; it was so fast that he couldn't even touch it!
All six envoys were astonished. Except for Ashda, the other five envoys immediately rushed out!
"Stop chasing!" Ashda shouted. "This man's martial arts are extremely high! Even if the six of us joined forces, we would not be a match for him!" With a grim face, he stepped forward and pulled the dart in front of him away.
The five ambassadors immediately stepped forward.
Asda stared at the open paper, his eyes burning with fierce fire!
Ji Wushang waited nervously for the man who had gone to run the errand, but thankfully, Nan Xuzong returned in less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea. He jumped into the carriage and sat down inside, exclaiming, "I'm back!"
"How is it?" Ji Wushang asked quickly.
"Let's go see a play," Nan Xuzong laughed, and immediately called out to Gong Shu outside the carriage, "To Shili Slope!"
"yes."
At Shili Slope, under the deep of night, Ji Wushang was pulled into the woods by Nan Xuzong, and the two watched the good show that was about to unfold!
Huangfu Ting stood in the darkness, cursing under his breath. Why did they have to invite him to this place? Of all places, why did they have to choose this one?
Ji Wushang hid in the basement and waited for Nan Xuzong. Above them was Shili Slope.
"Fourth Imperial Consort!" Leng Buran called out from behind Ji Wushang. Ji Wushang turned around abruptly and was so surprised that her eyes almost popped out of her head!
"Prince Lin?" She immediately stepped back. The person in front of her was dressed in a seductive red robe, with alluring eyes and bright phoenix eyes. He looked at Ji Wushang with a playful smile on his lips. She stepped back, and he stepped forward!
"Hehe!" The man looked at her face and suddenly laughed. Ji Wushang was stunned for a moment before she realized what he meant. "Nan Xuzong! You've bullied me again!"
"Hehe, doesn't it look just like him?" Nan Xuzong took off his mask and walked to Ji Wushang's side with a smile. "It's all thanks to my third brother's skillful touch!"
"Hmph!" Ji Wushang didn't care what he was saying! He'd scared him half to death!
"Well, I shouldn't have scared you... I promise I won't do it again next time, okay?" He smiled.
Ji Wushang pouted and twisted his arm hard, making Nan Xuzong grimace. "Oh ho ho, Wushang, let go, let go!" She really is ruthless!
"Hmph, let's see if you dare to joke with me like this again!" Ji Wushang sneered. "You know perfectly well that I don't like that Prince Lin, yet you still try to fool me like this!"
"Okay, okay, Wu Shang, I won't dare to do it again." Nan Xu Cong looked at her pitifully, his eyes full of grievance.
Just as the two were looking at each other, there was a soft knock on the door, three times, and then the noise stopped again.
"I'm leaving. Wait for me to come back. If you're thinking of watching the show, go upstairs and be careful," Nan Xuzong said gently, looking at her.
"Mmm." Ji Wushang nodded, tiptoed and kissed him on the lips, as a way of making up for it!
☆、276 The prelude to the uprising: undercurrents surge!
He smiled, put his mask back on, and turned to leave.
Ji Wushang stared blankly at his retreating figure. When she came to her senses, she immediately followed his instructions and went upstairs to see him!
Huangfu Ting stood in the wind, his gaze cold. He knew he had to confront him later! Why make him wait in the wind for so long after inviting him here? Humph!
"Your Highness, you've kept us waiting!" A voice called out from behind him. Huangfu Ting immediately turned around, sized up Feng Rulin, and sneered, "Prince Lin is certainly punctual!"
"Of course I'll be on time!" Feng Rulin smiled wickedly, exuding charm beyond measure!
Huangfu Ting faced him, narrowed his eyes, and sneered, "What did you call me here for? You haven't accomplished a single thing I asked you to do, which is truly disappointing!"
"It's better for the Second Prince to be disappointed than for me!" Feng Rulin laughed. "Although the Third Prince isn't dead, he's not far from it. You should be thanking me!"
"Thank you?" Huangfu Ting sneered. "I went to court today and was scolded by my father. I've been holding back, but I don't want to anymore! If you're willing to help me, then help me. If not, then we'll go our separate ways!"
Feng Rulin chuckled evilly, "You should thank Emperor Zhou for criticizing you; at least he still cares about you!"
"Concerned? Don't make such a joke!" Huangfu Ting sneered, turning around. "I can't wait any longer! Tomorrow you will return to Fusang, and I will lead troops to escort you out of the city. When you return, my troops will gradually enter the imperial city! Hmph, Prince Lin, if you are willing, I am even thinking of letting you stay in my Great Xia Zhou Dynasty!" His gaze fell on Feng Rulin, his eyes carrying a hint of mockery and ambiguity!
Nan Xuzong felt a chill run down his spine. Damn it, these people must be a bit perverted! They're into homosexuality too? I never expected Huangfu Ting to be a homosexual?
"I appreciate Your Highness's kindness! But I have many things to attend to, so please forgive me for not being able to stay!" Feng Rulin sneered. "Because, Your Highness, your death day has come!" After saying this, Feng Rulin immediately drew a soft sword from his waist and thrust it into Huangfu Ting's heart!
Huangfu Ting was taken aback and immediately dodged. "Damn it!" How dare he ambush him? He retreated and used his palm to strike the blade of Feng Rulin's thrust! He also drew a longsword from his waist with his left hand, and instantly, the two were locked in combat, one above the other! The soft swords clashed together, sparks flying!
Huangfu Ting was extremely surprised. The martial arts skills of the person in front of him were so profound, and his swordsmanship showed no trace of Japanese influence! Could it be that Feng Rulin practiced the martial arts of the Great Xia Zhou Dynasty?
Feng Rulin sneered. He had only used half his strength in the fight; he just needed to keep him occupied. His intention was not to kill him, but to wait for someone to arrive!
At that moment, someone rushed out of the forest, shouting, "Your Majesty!"
"Feng Rulin" sneered and stabbed at Huangfu Ting with a backhand counterattack. Huangfu Ting coldly straightened his face and immediately thrust his long sword into "Feng Rulin's" chest. "Feng Rulin" seemed to have not had time to prepare everything and actually used his right hand to block!
How could Huangfu Ting let him go? He concentrated all his strength in his hand and slammed it into Feng Rulin's palm!
With a loud thud, Huangfu Ting had no idea what was happening when he saw Feng Rulin lying on the ground! Enraged, he thrust his long sword into Feng Rulin's body!
Nan Xuzong had already landed in the grass in the distance, covering his body with the grass. Then he took off his mask, smiled, and looked at the eight people not far away. Not bad.
Huangfu Ting glared angrily at Feng Rulin, who was already dead on the ground, with the long sword still stuck in his chest, and blood flowing out!
The six envoys stared in astonishment, and Ashda was practically going mad, exclaiming, "He killed the Lord!"
"To avenge our lord!" The five ambassadors drew their Japanese swords and, together with Asta, raised their swords and surrounded Huangfu Ting.
Huangfu Ting calmed himself down slightly. Damn it, he hadn't expected to kill him! What should he do now? And these six envoys had seen it. Now, he had no choice but to kill these six people; the fewer people who knew, the better!
"It's actually the Second Prince of the Great Xia Zhou Dynasty! What grudge did our Lord have against you that you would kill him!" Ashida stared at Feng Rulin, who lay dead on the ground with his eyes closed, his arm shattered and mangled beyond recognition!
Damn it, I must report this to the Emperor and have him decide this matter! I must set sail across the sea and annihilate the Great Xia Zhou Dynasty without leaving a single survivor!
"He ambushed me and tried to kill me. Shouldn't I fight back?" Huangfu Ting sneered, his face grim. There was no point in saying more; he had a few more lives on his hands! With that thought, he immediately drew his sword and charged forward, each move delivered with all his might, each a deadly strike!
He knew he had to act quickly, otherwise, if he attracted more people, it would be too late for anything he did!
If Emperor Zhou knew that he had killed Feng Rulin, it probably wouldn't just be a simple reprimand, but he would probably have to pay with his life for Feng Rulin!
Seeing Huangfu Ting's ruthless killing, Ashida gave the five ambassadors a look, and immediately all six of them stepped forward. One attacked from above, and another attacked from below, determined not to give Huangfu Ting any chance to rest!
A mocking smile played on Nan Xuzong's lips. This time, no matter who won in the end, it would benefit him! Seeing this was enough! Nan Xuzong turned around, his figure flashing, and instantly appeared in the basement.
Ji Wushang never expected that this so-called upstairs was actually on a big tree! But it was really well hidden, allowing her to clearly see everything happening below! When she saw Nan Xuzong and Huangfu Ting locked in combat, her heart clenched!
When I saw Nan Xuzong get away, I felt incredibly relieved!
Ji Wushang went downstairs, no longer looking at the situation outside.
None of that matters anymore; what matters is him!
Outside, Huangfu Ting was gradually struggling. After all, the six envoys were all quite skilled, and Huangfu Ting had already fought with Nan Xu Cong before, which had depleted his internal energy. He simply didn't have time to recover his composure.
"Kill him!" Ashda ordered.
Several men immediately rushed forward to attack Huangfu Ting. Huangfu Ting was gradually outmatched, and Ashida immediately plunged his katana into his arm, while another messenger was already slashing at his head!
Huangfu Ting broke out in a cold sweat and tilted to the side, but his arm was cut off by Ashda's Japanese sword!
"Ah!" Huangfu Ting felt a lot of blood suddenly flowing out from his severed arm!
Damn it, am I going to die at their hands? Huangfu Ting looked at the six envoys approaching step by step. Although they were also injured, they were just minor wounds and none of them were seriously injured!
"Hmph, Second Prince, you're going to die! We're going to report this to His Majesty the Emperor! He'll definitely send a letter to Emperor Zhou and have him sentence you to death! You killed the Lord, so you'll die too!" Ashda's eyes flashed with malice, while the other five people gritted their teeth in hatred, wishing they could rush forward and tear Huangfu Ting to pieces!
"I am not Huangfu Ting!" Huangfu Ting gritted his teeth. Damn it, if this got to Emperor Zhou, wouldn't he lose his life? His plan hadn't been fully launched yet, and the timing wasn't right. If he was forced to start his plan hastily, there was a high chance he would fail! This was a crucial matter, not to be taken lightly!
Ashda looked at him and sneered, "Shameless! Kill him!"
Just as the six men were about to attack Huangfu Ting, a strong gust of wind blew up, whipping up sand and dust! Huangfu Ting saw them shielding his face, immediately turned and left, clutching his severed arm, and scrambled out of the forest.
After the wind subsided, the six ambassadors realized that Huangfu Ting was missing!
"Damn it, he got away!" Ashda was furious. He went to check on Feng Rulin's body. Feng Rulin's miserable appearance was unbearable to look at!
The six envoys immediately knelt down before Feng Rulin's corpse!
"Your Excellency!"
The night was filled with the scent of blood, and Huangfu Ting barely managed to keep himself upright as he walked towards his palace.
Huangfu Lan felt itchy all over and immediately thought of going to the Imperial Physician's Office. But when she walked into the corridor, she saw a figure barging in.
"Who is it!" Huangfu Lan immediately stepped forward, long sword in hand. Huangfu Ting, seeing it was Huangfu Lan, immediately called out softly, "It's me, Seventh Princess, please help me!"
Huangfu Lan stared in disbelief at his blood-covered appearance. "You, what happened to you?"
She endured the itching all over her body and went forward to help him.
"I killed Prince Lin, so his six envoys want to kill me!" Huangfu Ting, intending to drag her into this mess, naturally spoke the truth!
