Just when everything was ready, Feng Cang mounted Snow and was about to go search for Murong Qi Qi, when a soft voice appeared at the corner.
âWangye1......â
That gentle voice let the tight string in Feng Cangâs heart relax immediately. Following the voice, he saw Murong Qi Qi running towards him.
âWangye!â
âQing Qing!â
Not waiting for people to understand, a burst of wind passed and wrapped Murong Qi Qi.
âWangye, Iâm back.â
Listening to Murong Qi Qiâs voice, feeling the temperature of her body and smelling the fragrance from her hair, Feng Cangâs heart finally calmed down. Holding her like this really is a good feeling! Before, Feng Cang thought about numerous possibilities and was worried that something had happened to Murong Qi Qi. Now that Murong Qi Qi was standing in front of him, unscratched and in a good condition, he was so happy.
Murong Qi Qi coming back made everyone let out a breath of relief. Especially those people who had followed Feng Cang for a long time. Fortunately, princess Zhao Yang came back. Otherwise, they really didnât know what kind of crazy thing their master would have done!
âCousin-in-law, fortunately you came back. Cousin brother almost turned Yongzhou over!â
Now, Wanyan Kang also let out a deep breath of relief. Just now, Feng Cang wanted to kill Wanyan Bao Zhu. His gaze didnât seem like he was joking. He was not only saying that. Just now, he was worried about what he should do if Feng Cang wanted to kill Wanyan Bao Zhu!
Although Wanyan Kang didnât like Wanyan Bao Zhu, but after all, theyâre half siblings. Something happening to his little sister in front of his eyes; by then, he, as a big brother, also canât escape being blamed.
Wanyan Kangâs voice, full of laughter, finally let the two people who were hugging, separate. Murong Qi Qi blushed and apologized to Feng Cang while feeling sorry: âIâm sorry. Originally, I wanted to come earlier, but I didnât know the way and circled around the city for a long time.â
Murong Qi Qiâs nose was red because of the cold. Coupled with that pair of watery eyes, she looked like a small animal arousing the affection of people.
âItâs fine as long as you come back!â
Feng Cang knew that other words were unnecessary. As long as Murong Qi Qi is safe and sound, to him thatâs the best thing!
âThatâs right! As long as cousin-in-law comes back, itâs fine! Otherwise, cousin brother will really vent his anger on imperial little sister!â
âImperial little sister?â
Only after hearing this, did Murong Qi Qi see Wanyan Bao Zhu, who was standing at one side with her head lowered.
How can this be?! Murong Qi Qi screamed in her heart. Wanyan Bao Zhu had died at the hands of Tie Xue. Why was she (WBZ) now standing in front of her (MQQ), very much alive?
Murong Qi Qi didnât speak. Wanyan Bao Zhuâs heart jumped badly. What should she do? What should she do? If Murong Qi Qi found out that sheâs a fake, what should she do? Whereâs Zhao Lang? Zhao Lang, where are you?! Zhao Lang, you must save me, ah!
âPrincess?,â Murong Qi Qi probed.
âYouâve come back! So good!â
Wanyan Bao Zhu revealed an ugly smile.
âItâs alright, nothing happened! We were so worried about you!â
Hearing the other party speak, Murong Qi Qi immediately knew that sheâs not Wanyan Bao Zhu! Wanyan Bao Zhuâs voice was very arrogant and this voice was very introverted. Besides, Wanyan Bao Zhu would never look at her with such fear. There must be some secret.
In just a moment, Murong Qi Qi analysed the matter very clearly. Since this person was a fake, then there must be a conspiracy behind it. Instead of exposing this fake Wanyan Bao Zhu and cut the clues of the one behind it, she might as well follow the vine to get to the melon and find the one behind this!
Follow the vine to get to the melon: to track the clues
âUm, Iâve come back. Before, I was worried about princess and miss Mu. I didnât think that you would be safe. I can be at ease now!â
Murong Qi Qi didnât seem like she was faking it. When Wanyan Bao Zhu saw that she didnât see through her, her sinking heart slowly calmed down.
âIâm fine. Weâre fine. Itâs fine that weâre alright. Itâs fine that weâre alright......â
After Murong Qi Qiâs safe return, Feng Cang immediately went with her into Meixiang yuan2 while hugging. The moment they entered the room, Feng Cang let Murong Qi Qi sit on his lap.
âWhat happened? Did they do it?â
The coldness inside Feng Cangâs phoenix eyes completely disappeared. He didnât forget the initiator because of Murong Qi Qiâs safe return. Calculating Murong Qi Qi, tricking his woman? Those two people have great courage! It seems that he hasnât killed for a long time, so people have forgotten his ways!
âIâm fine!â
Murong Qi Qi softly leaned onto Feng Cangâs arms. She felt the most safe in his arms.
âWangye, can this matter be handed over for me to deal with? Iâve already thought of a way to deal with them!â
Murong Qi Qi saying that made Feng Cang realise that was indeed Wanyan Bao Zhu and Mu Yu Die who made a trap. However, she said she wanted to deal with it personally, making Feng Cang surprised.
âAlright! How they should be dealt with, you can see to it! Even if you want their heads, Iâll support you! However, you need to tell me what has happened!â
Murong Qi Qi said in a simple manner about how she met Wu Ji Gongâs people on the way, but then a group of people appeared to help. She took the opportunity, stole a horse and ran away. She waited till it was safe before coming back.
âWu Ji Gong!â
Hearing about Wu Ji Gong once again, Feng Cangâs eyes became cold again. Humph! Originally, he thought that if Zhao Lang behaved a little, then he wouldnât bother with him (ZL) too much. Now, it seemed that this person was a miserable wretch. You let him be noble, so why canât he become someone noble?
âWangye, I also donât know when I offended Wu Ji Gongâs people. Those people said they wanted to kill me and go back to get a reward. Wangye, who is the person behind them? Who hates me so much and wants to kill me!â
Hearing Feng Cangâs tone, Murong Qi Qi fanned the flames. What is lending a knife to kill somebody? Thatâs using anotherâs hand to get rid of your enemy.
Today, Wu Ji Gong completely offended Murong Qi Qi. Wanyan Bao Zhu hooked on Wu Ji Gongâs people and let them come harm her, sheâs afraid that inside, thereâs definitely some shady activities! Since Wu Ji Gongâs people came to Yongzhou, why should she not use Feng Cangâs hands to clean them up?!
âYou didnât offend them. Itâs me who implicated you.â
Feng Cang bit Murong Qi Qiâs ear.
In Feng Cangâs point of view, the main lead behind all of this was definitely Wanyan Hong.
Zhao Lang was just a dog of Wanyan Hong. The big tree behind Wu Ji Gong was Wanyan Hong. Besides, these past few years, Wu Ji Gong did many things for Wanyan Hong. It seems that he needs to get rid of Wu Ji Gong, breaking Wanyan Hongâs left and right hands to let him know how much he truly is worth.
âWangye, then are you alright?!â
Feng Cang saying that, Murong Qi Qi immediately became worried. What has Feng Cang done that he provoked Wu Ji Gong? Although Wu Ji Gong was nothing but a rookie, but they were in the dark and Feng Cang was in the light. What should she do if Zhao Lang played the dark ways?
It seemed that before, she was too kind-hearted. She didnât get rid of Wu Ji Gong. They are now actually threatening to Feng Cang! Her man, only she can order and squeeze, how can other people bully him? Murong Qi Qi already made up her mind to get rid of Wu Ji Gong.
What Murong Qi Qi didnât know was, Feng Cang, because of her safety, also made the same decision.
âQing Qing, rest assured. Hand this matter over to me! I wonât let you suffer even a bit anymore!â
At night, inside Feng Cangâs room, it was still brightly lit. Jin Mo poured the brewed medicine in a bowl and put it on the table. Feng Cang was sitting and Nalan Xin was standing at the other side.
âAre you sure? Only twenty-five? Including Zhao Lang?â
âAnswering chief, inside Yongzhou, thereâs only twenty-five Wu Ji Gongâs people including the head of Wu Ji Gong, Zhao Lang. Gui Yan is watching them. Weâre only waiting for lordâs command!â
The one who looked over Murong Qi Qi in Xi Qi, Nalan Xin, now not even a trace of that pedantic appearance could be seen. Although his air of a scholar was still strong, but the killing intent inside the scholar aura was also very strong.
âKill!â
Feng Cang drank the medicine and put down the bowl. He put a candied fruit in his mouth.
âDonât let one off!â
âYes!â
Zhao Lang who was living in the inn; at night, his left and right eyelids began to jump badly. He thought that it was because Wanyan Bao Zhuâs matter had gotten exposed. He sent out some people to go take a look, but he didnât expect that the ones he had sent didnât come back, making his heart become more uneasy.
âDongdongdong!â
Three knocks on the door. Zhao Langâs heart tightened. He immediately asked: âWho is there?â
âLord, do you need special services?â
A pretty voice came in. That voice seemed to be as sweet as wrapped in honey, making Zhao Langâs whole body tingle. He immediately forgot all his troubles. He came to the door and glanced across it at the stature. Slim physique with a pair of watery eyes, which were blinking as though sending an arrow at him. Zhao Lang immediately surrendered. With a squeaky sound, the door opened.
âLord, your movement is very slow, yo!â
The woman twisted her body and came in. As she was passing him, she sent him a tempting wink.
That glance suddenly gave Zhao Lang an electric shock. Not waiting for Zhao Lang to understand, there was a dagger against his neck. He turned his head and saw that there was another person following behind that woman. From the stature, you could see that sheâs also a woman. However, this woman had a veil on and her appearance couldnât be seen.
âWhat do you want to do?â
The cold at his neck made Zhao Lang thoroughly sober up. From head to toe, he felt cold. If it wasnât because there was a dagger at his neck, he really wanted to give himself two slaps on the face! How come he couldnât change this lust problem? Why is it that every time heâll get planted at this word âlustâ! Obviously above the word lust is a dagger, so why could he still not hold himself in while seeing a beauty?!
The Chinese word lust (?) have a dagger/knife (?) above it.
âLord, are you afraid?â
The beauty took out a porcelain bottle and opened it. She put it under Zhao Langâs nose to let him smell it.
Not good! Zhao Lang was startled. It didnât take long before his whole body weakened. His whole body felt soft and couldnât use any energy.
âZeze, arenât you the head of Wu Ji Gong? How come you canât even handle a mere fragrant soft powder?â
Retrieving the dagger, Su Mei retreated to a side. Murong Qi Qi slowly walked towards Zhao Lang.
âWho are you?â
Zhao Langâs heart tightened. He also used poisons for many years. Such fragrance soft powder, even he couldnât make it. Could it be that the other side was also a master at this? Then who could she be?
This soft fragrance powder was able to act so fast. Only the people of Moyu can make such a drug. However, there were only a few women in Moyu. Now, two had appeared. Then who was the one talking? Zhao Lang suddenly made a bold assumption. Could the other party be Du Xian Er? Thinking about the name Du Xian Er, Zhao Lang couldnât help but shiver. He immediately prayed that the woman in front of him did not have any relation with Du Xian Er.
âWho I am is not important. Whatâs important is, I want to know who sent you to deal with Feng Cang?!â
Hearing this, Zhao Lang was puzzled. If the other party was really someone from Moyu, then when did Moyu form a relationship with Feng Cang? Or was it that Moyu also wanted to deal with Feng Cang?
âTalk!â
Seeing that Zhao Lang didnât say anything, with one stroke Su Mei cut off Zhao Langâs left ear. It was so painful that he wanted to shout, but he didnât even have the energy to shout. Warm blood rolled down against his face, making his clothes red. Now, Zhao Lang is very sure that the other party was Du Xian Er. Only Du Xian Er would have such vicious tactics.
âIâll talk! Iâll talk! Itâs Wanyan Hong! Itâs Wanyan Hong who let me deal with Feng Cang! Wanyan Hong said that Feng Cang is his biggest threat. Only by getting rid of Feng Cang, would his place as the crown prince be secure!â
Murong Qi Qi thought that she would need to use some more tactics before Zhao Lang confessed. She didnât expect that with only an ear, he would blurt out Wanyan Hong. So, the one behind this was crown prince Wanyan Hong. It seemed that before, she guessed wrong. This Wanyan Hong was indeed a big problem.
âAside from Wanyan Hong, is there anyone else? What were you going to do?â
âThereâs no one else. My master is Wanyan Hong. Wanyan Hong let me find an opportunity to get rid of Feng Cang. If I couldnât get rid of Feng Cang, then I had to kill Murong Qi Qi in order to leave a scar on Feng Cangâs heart. I was also forced, ah. Wanyan Hong said if I didnât follow his request, he would eliminate Wu Ji Gong. Under me, there are more than a thousand people, ah. I canât let them die!â
Ordinarily, it was a very shameful thing, but coming from Zhao Lang, it had now become how much he loved and protected his subordinates; how in order to protect his menâs life, he had to follow Wanyan Hongâs commands.
Fortunately, Murong Qi Qi had a profound understanding of Wu Ji Gong and Zhao Lang. So, she didnât believe a word of what he was saying. In her heart, she felt thatâs very unfortunate for Wanyan Hong. This Zhao Lang was such a soft bone. After losing only one ear, he already betrayed Wanyan Hong. It seemed that this crown prince didnât have a good eyesight for encountering such a treacherous person.
âMaster, someone is coming this way.â
From outside, Su Yueâs voice came in. Murong Qi Qi already asked what she wanted to know. She nodded at Su Mei. The next moment, a silver light flashed. Zhao Langâs head had been cut off while he was still alive. Su Mei quickly pulled the bed sheet, wrapped Zhao Langâs head in it and followed Murong Qi Qi at jumping out of the window.
When Nalan Xin arrived, he only saw a headless body kneeling on the ground. Blood stained the ground, making it look very terrifying.
Who was it? Who acted before him? Nalan Xin frowned deeply. He carefully looked at the scene before leaving.
That night, there was a big snow storm, falling like sand. In just one night, it let Yongzhou city be wrapped in a layer of silver. In the morning, Wanyan Bao Zhu woke up. After cleaning herself, she went outside. She didnât expect that the moment she stepped out of the room, in front of the door, there would be a snowman that was as tall as a person.
âYong er3, who made this snowman?â
âAnswering princess, this slave doesnât know. This morning when this slave woke up, this snowman was already in the yard. Maybe someone else made it for fun.â
Wanyan Bao Zhu stepped onto the snow and walked towards the snowman. She carefully looked at the snowman. This snowman was made to look extremely childish. On its head was a hat made from roof tiles. Its nose was a half-cut carrot. Those eyes, they seemed like the ones on a real person. Besides, they looked somewhat familiar.
Looking at the black pupils, the more Wanyan Bao Zhu felt that they were familiar. Who do they resemble? After thinking for a long time, finally Wanyan Bao Zhu remembered. It resembled Zhao Lang. No wonder she felt it looked familiar! Who made the snowman to look so much like Zhao Lang. Especially those eyes. It felt like Zhao Lang was standing in front of her, looking at her.
Wanyan Bao Zhu thought of Zhao Lang and also thought of their beautiful future together. She couldnât help but reach out to touch that pair of eyes. Unexpectedly, just when she touched the snowmanâs head, that white ball fell and rolled onto the ground, revealing a ray of black hair.
âPrincess, what is that?â
Yong er followed next to Wanyan Bao Zhu. She carefully kicked the snowmanâs head, but didnât expect to see a head roll out.
âAh!â
Yong er screamed and hid behind Wanyan Bao Zhu.
âPrincess, what is that? Why does it look like a humanâs head?!â
Hearing Yong er say that, Wanyan Bao Zhuâs heart tightened. She rushed forward and carefully looked at it.
âAh!â
Wanyan Bao Zhu staggered and fell onto the ground, full of snow. How come? How come itâs Zhao Lang? She just saw him yesterday. Yesterday, they were still lovey dovey. Why did Zhao Lang become like this today?
