Xu Zhaoping thought that the people outside the chariot would retreat if they responded in a low voice, but he heard another sentence, "Does the Holy Majesty need someone to hold the lamp?"

"Holding the lamp?" After being assassinated, it is the business to drive the chariot to the city.

Xu Zhaoping looked at the pitch-black scene, and was about to say no.But he heard the sound of footsteps on the chariot.

"My lord, I have come to light the lamp for you!"

Come here uninvited, what a traitor!

"Okay." Xu Zhaoping stared at the fingers stretched out on the curtain, and instinctively clenched the long sword at his side, "Wait a little slower, and wait for the widow to take care of Zi Tong's remains."

"My lord!" Xu Zhaoping heard the sound of the blade being thrown outside the chariot, narrowed his eyes, moved forward a few inches, and put the person in his arms flat behind him.

"My lord?" Liang Qiongshi noticed the king's actions, and immediately knew that the people outside the chariot had impure intentions.

"Hmm..." Xu Zhaoping shook his head lightly, uttered a single tone, signaling Qiongshi not to move, then lightly stepped to the side of the chariot, and slowly drew out his sword.

Her sword has no scabbard, it is just covered with a layer of cloth.

"My lord?" Qi He called out.

"Yeah." Xu Zhaoping checked the distance with his eyes, and when he was sure that he was only one sword away from him, he smiled slightly, "Qi Aiqing, come in."

"Yes, my lord."

Xu Zhaoping looked at the slightly lifted door curtain reflected in the orange candlelight, with a smile in his eyes.

When he was convinced that Qihe was about to step in, Xu Zhaoping raised his sleeve to cover his face, stabbed forward, then quickly landed behind Qihe, pushed him into the chariot, and extinguished the candlestick.

There are always many stories hidden in the dark night.

When the king dragged Qihe's body into the chariot, Liang Qiongshi also sat up from the side.

"My lord?" Liang Qiongshi looked at the king who had stabbed his courtier in astonishment, with an incredulous expression on his face.

"It's just an undercover agent." Seeing Qiongshi's puzzled face, Xu Zhaoping smiled lightly and pulled her up, "Thank you Zitong, I'm afraid you and I will have to walk for a while."

"Huh?" Liang Qiongshi looked up at the king, even more confused.

"Since I could hear the sound of soldiers fighting, there was no reason why there were no guards shouting." Xu Zhaoping pulled Liang Qiongshi around Qihe's body and opened the curtain.

"So this is a song written and performed by that adult just now..." Liang Qiongshi thoughtfully followed the king and got out of the chariot.

"That's right." Xu Zhaoping jumped off the chariot, then turned around and carried Liang Qiongshi off the car, "This widow was planning to use her body as bait to lure the enemy..."

"Isn't that too stupid? How can the king be seduced by himself?" Liang Qiongshi couldn't help frowning as she looked at the corpses dressed as bandits everywhere.

"Stupid? Maybe." Xu Zhaoping lowered his head and chuckled for a moment, but he didn't say that if she was alone, she wouldn't be stabbed in this kind of location.

She chose the location of the assassination to be the next location.

The thief who assassinated the king failed to assassinate, but was arrested and tortured. Isn't that a great shock to those people?

Xu Zhaoping took Liang Qiongshi and walked slowly on the trail with only corpses, thinking about praying together, Xu Shi had an idea, that is, martyrdom.

Why did you insist on coming to hold the lamp?

The courtiers holding lamps for the king can remove his suspicion of assassinating the king, and they can also pray for the loyalty of his family from generation to generation.

"Hmm..." Xu Zhaoping sighed softly, and couldn't help but tighten the hand behind her, but she never thought that Qiongshi would follow.

"What is His Majesty sighing?" After trying the force on her hand, Liang Qiongshi raised her eyes to look at the somewhat thin shoulders in front of her, and couldn't help but sink in her heart.

"Huh?" Hearing the people behind him asking what he was sighing about, Xu Zhaoping felt his heart lighten in a trance, "It's nothing. I just thought that Zitong seems to be afraid of ghosts."

"Afraid of ghosts?" Liang Qiongshi looked up and circled around, and indeed saw a lot of tombs.

"With the company of the sage, Qiongshi is not afraid of this." Looking back at the path where the corpses were scattered, Liang Qiongshi smiled, and went around to Xu Zhaoping, "I heard that most of the ghosts come from behind. Poetry goes ahead, okay?"

Chapter 71

"Front?" Xu Zhaoping stopped to look at the person behind him when he heard the sound, but he found that there was only a small path behind him, so he knew that the person behind him had cut first and then played, and moved in front of him.

Seeing Qiongshi move in front of her, still holding her hand, Xu Zhaoping immediately frowned and said with a smile, "Does Qiongshi insist on going ahead?"

Liang Qiongshi looked into the king's eyes and saw that there was no anger in them, then she pursed her lips and turned her head to look at the somewhat bumpy path behind her.

At the end of the path, through the night, there is a forest that looks a little blurry.

It's not easy to walk at night.

"En." Liang Qiongshi said softly, bowed her head and wanted to move forward, but she heard the king's way, "Hurry up and walk with me."

After Xu Zhaoping finished speaking, he quietly walked back to Liang Qiongshi, held her hand, and walked forward quickly.

The woods in front seemed not peaceful.

But the guards are just beyond the woods.

"My lord——" Seeing the king dragging her to walk faster, Liang Qiongshi felt a pang in her heart, knowing that the forest in front was as dangerous as she expected.

However, since he knew that there were changes in the forest, why did the king insist on entering this forest?

Liang Qiongshi opened her eyes, watching the mist lingering between the trunks.

"My lord..." Liang Qiongshi called out in a low voice while holding the king's sweaty hand.

"Hmm..." Following the King's response, Liang Qiongshi noticed that the King's back was constantly blurring in her vision.

"But can't find the way?" Liang Qiongshi heard the rustling sound under her feet, and knew that she and the king had deviated from the path in the forest.

"Never." Xu Zhaoping was looking for signs in the woods while listening to the sound of the branches and leaves being trampled by him.

In this forest, she once sent soldiers to investigate the itinerary.

Xu Zhaoping carefully searched for the traces of knife carving on the tree trunk until he noticed a slight fire not far away.

"Holy..." The moment Xu Zhaoping noticed the fire, Liang Qiongshi also saw the light not far away.When Liang Qiongshi opened her mouth and uttered a single tone, and wanted to ask if the king was approaching, she heard a voice in her ear, "Don't panic".

When Liang Qiongshi asked the speaker what he meant in the future, he found himself surrounded by the king and fell backwards.

At the same time, Liang Qiongshi heard "I am here", and then realized that her mouth was covered.

King, what does this mean?

Liang Qiongshi met the king's eyes in confusion, but found that the corners of the king's eyes were smiling.

Then, a volleying arrow barely flew over the heads of the two of them.

"Wait for them to retreat later, and walk in the direction they came from." Xu Zhaoping let go of Liang Qiongshi's hand, and told her with a smile for a moment.

"..." Liang Qiongshi looked at the king for a while, and after seeing the reluctance wrapped in the king's smile, she understood the situation in front of her.

"Is there a minister?" Liang Qiongshi raised her eyebrows and grabbed Xu Zhaoping's cuff.

"Perhaps..." Xu Zhaoping's eyes fell on Liang Qiongshi's hand.

Liang Qiongshi stood up first, "I brought the money."

"It's probably useless..." Xu Zhaoping watched Liang Qiongshi stand up and frowned, but he didn't stop her.But not because you can't, just because you don't have to.

Xu Zhaoping looked up at the chin of the woman in front of him, and smiled lightly as he listened to the cursing.

"Ming Quan told me a secret." Liang Qiongshi lowered her head slightly, looked at the king's jade crown, and smiled lightly.

"What secret?" Xu Zhaoping sat quietly on the ground, watching the woman in front of him talking and laughing happily with him in front of the battle.

Yes, before the battle.

Although the cursing voice told Xu Zhaoping that behind him was just a mob, a motley army, not comparable to her imperial army or her iron cavalry.
