"Ambush?" Lei Shuo repeated his words.
Jita nodded and said very calmly: "We killed the rest of the people, but your brother escaped. I shot him with the last arrow. When he fell to the ground, the mask fell off. I only found out after chasing him. I wanted to...but someone rescued him."
"You actually want my brother!" Lei Shuo took action directly and attacked Zhita's face head-on.
Zita raised his eyes, and when Lei Shuo's hand came to him, he raised his hand and grabbed Lei Shuo. He held Lei Shuo in his arms and said in a very cold tone: "I am the prince of the Huns, and he is the prince of Qi. My lord, if he comes here to be a spy, wouldn’t it be natural for me to kill him?”
"I'll kill you! Lei Shuo struggled hard, tears bursting out of his eyes, and veins on his head and hands popped out.
Wen Qingzhu had been patiently not raising his head, preparing to find an opportunity to take action.
Suddenly, Zhita knocked Lei Shuo unconscious, and then said to Wen Qingzhu: "You will take good care of her from now on. Before leaving Tianying City, it is best not to go out. The right wheel will come to follow and want to find out your identity. This It’s a portrait that was retrieved from him!”
Jita took out a painting from his sleeve and threw it in front of Wen Qingzhu.
Looking at the drawing paper slowly falling in front of him, Wen Qingzhu slowly picked it up.
Although there is only an outline of her appearance on it, people who are familiar with her can still recognize her at a glance.
Wen Qingzhu put away the portrait and turned to the candlestick to burn it.
After sending Zita away, she helped Lei Shuo go to the room.
After taking care of Lei Shuo to sleep, Wen Qingzhu was restless.
No one should know her identity except Denton and Balu, so why are there still people targeting her
After thinking about it carefully, this afternoon, she and Lei said they sat in the yard.
But aren't the people around here guarded by people from the Tower
Someone discovered her existence and drew a portrait, but in the end she was discovered by Gita and intercepted.
Wen Qingzhu looked back at Lei Shuo lying on the bed, and felt his head hurt even more.
Zita found out that Lei Yan had let it go and fired the arrow, but now he actually came back and told Lei Shuo.
What on earth was he thinking
Looking at it, Wen Qingzhu suddenly understood!
She couldn't sit still anymore and quickly contacted Feitian.
There was no news from Fu Lie, and Lei Yan was discovered again, so Qi Jun must have taken action.
Disguised as Xiao Shui, Wen Qingzhu went directly to the place where He Lai was imprisoned.
Previously, He Lai had a secret contact with someone, but this time she did not go through the front door and also contacted the person who sent her off last time.
Originally this man did not take them in, but Wen Qingzhu only said one sentence to him: "Do you want He Lai to come out early or later?"
The royal guard, whose identity was a mystery, took them in.
When he opened the door, He Lai was sitting cross-legged on the bed. The lamp next to him was swaying slightly with the breeze coming in from the door.
"Sir! How did you-"
He Lai quickly stood up and was about to ask questions when he saw the royal guards exiting the door, and everything became clear to him.
He quickly went up, thanked the guards of the royal court, and then closed the door. Then he turned around and met Wen Qingzhu's eyes.
"He Lai, do you dare to leave here with me?"
He Lai was slightly shocked: "My lord, what happened? Why do you want to leave now?"
Wen Qingzhu thought that He Lai might be a Li Geng person, so he didn't dare to tell the whole truth.
"Of course there are things, but I don't think it's suitable for us to stay now, and you shouldn't be just a guard."
Thinking of the dispute in the main hall during the day, He Lai had a vague premonition and asked uncertainly: "Is there going to be a war?"
Although Wen Qingzhu should have been prepared in her heart, He Lai hit the point directly, which still made her amazed: "He Lai, He Lai, for so many years, you were born to be a general, but you have been living in this place. It really shouldn't be."
"But we don't have anyone." He Lai didn't want to form his own team, but he simply didn't have the conditions.
Wen Qingzhu looked at him seriously: "People, just buy it."
The sudden decision left He Lai with no idea how to choose.
Wen Qingzhu didn't force him, but just analyzed him objectively: "You can come with me or not. Staying doesn't mean you won't have a chance, but if you go with me now, then your name will be There will be no other people’s mark, but your own mark.”
"As for you staying, there is no chance at all. From the past to the present, the second prince has always valued you very much. Although he mostly suppressed you, you are completely different from building a building.
Even if the second prince really doesn't use you, the fourth prince will never let go of your talent. So you don’t have to worry, your future is promising.
I'll give you a quarter of an hour to think about it, and you must give me an answer. If there is no reply, I assume you have to stay. "
He Lai clenched his fists, now he was really confused.
Time passed by, and a quarter of an hour later, Wen Qingzhu stood up and glanced at He Lai. He was no different from before.
Although Wen Qingzhu was sorry, he didn't have to congratulate him.
She didn't say anything, turned around and left.
After a few steps, I reached the door. As soon as I put my hand on the door bolt, He Lai's voice appeared from behind: "I'm going with you, sir!"
Wen Qingzhu turned around and showed a smile: "From now on, you will be my General He Lai."
"I obey!" He Lai knelt down on one knee and saluted solemnly.
He quickly went over to pack his things and followed Wen Qingzhu out.
After leaving the palace, He Lai and the royal guards who escorted them out thanked and said goodbye.
The royal guard listened silently and said nothing.
When he was about to leave, Wen Qingzhu suddenly walked over: "If you can't survive in Tianying City in the future, you can come to He Lai."
The guard shifted his gaze slightly.
Wen Qingzhu felt some changes in his eyes, so he said again: "If you want to leave now, you can. It depends on whether you are willing."
"Sir, he can't leave." He Lai grew up in the palace, and his father was the palace medical officer.
He knows a lot of secrets.
The royal guard then turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
Wen Qingzhu asked Feitian to lead the way. They meandered along the way and it took almost an hour to leave Tianying City.
Under the moonlight, the vast grassland looks lonely and desolate.
A strong wind blew, and billowing waves of grass rolled toward the horizon.
Wen Qingzhu pointed to the southeast and said: "That's Amos's grassland over there. You and Feitian go there to buy people. Remember, don't buy too many, just enough."
"What about my lord?" He Lai asked quickly.
Wen Qingzhu patted him on the shoulder: "There are still some things here that require my intervention. If they are handled well, I will meet you."
Feitian knew Wen Qingzhu's plan before and turned around and left.
He Lai looked in the direction of Tianying City, and finally left.
Looking at their retreating figures, Wen Qingzhu didn't know who he was talking to: "I don't know what impact He Lai's choice will have."
It was daylight and Qiu Lin hurried to the main hall where Li Geng lived.
He knelt down directly in front of Li Geng and said: "Wang, Prince, Lord Xiao Shui, rescued He Lai and left Tianying City directly!"
"Say it again!" Li Jian was reading the letter and suddenly crumpled the paper.
Qiulin suppressed his fear and repeated these words.
Li Geng was so furious that he overturned the table: "This is the palace! The palace in Tianying City is tightly guarded! He Lai is still locked up in the courtyard guarded by the royal court! Who has such ability to kill people in our hands? take away!"
He turned away angrily, then turned around and asked coldly: "Where is General Juqu! Wasn't he supposed to guard the palace last night?!"
There was cold sweat on Qiu Lin's head. He couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe it off, and replied cautiously: "The Qi army attacked last night, and General Juqu went to pursue the enemy outside the city."
The plow was not lifted in one breath, but someone did come to report just now. Several corpses of enemy soldiers were sent in from outside the city. They were all shot after being discovered last night.
In the fourth prince's hall, Wen Qingzhu stood at the door of the room, listening to Danton's words.
"Now the situation is getting worse and worse for you. Starting last night, the prince has sent extra manpower to protect you, so the opportunities here in Tianying City will become less and less."
Wen Qingzhu knew what happened yesterday, and of course he understood what Zita wanted to do.
Since he directly confronted Lei Shuo and wanted to kill her brother, he would definitely never let Lei Shuo go back!
She showed just the right amount of panic: "Then what should we do now? Can Miss Lei go back? I might not go, but Miss Lei had an affair with the prince yesterday, so I'm worried -"
"Wait!" Denton quickly stopped her, and Wen Qingzhu stopped quickly and raised her eyes to look at him.
Denton said seriously: "You must go back too. I can't protect you, and I won't protect you forever. Do you understand?"
"Yes, but I am willing to do anything, as long as I can stay with Lord Denton." Wen Qingzhu was so aggrieved that he almost burst into tears.
Denton felt a throbbing pain in his head. He raised his hand and said clearly again: "I will not keep you by my side!"
"Why, why?" Wen Qingzhu felt strange, as if Denton had something to hide.
His eyes were solemn, and he thought for a long time before saying: "I once had a wife and children, but I killed them with my own hands."
Wen Qingzhu was immediately shocked. Suddenly, she thought of something and asked incoherently: "Because, because your wife is from Qi?"
Denton subconsciously wanted to explain, but looked into Wen Qingzhu's eyes and nodded again.
Wen Qingzhu lowered his head and stopped trying to say anything.
It seemed unlikely that she would stay with Denton.
"You go in first and take care of Miss Lei. There are a lot of things going on in Tianying City right now. You try not to leave the house. When the time comes, I will send someone to send you away."
Wen Qingzhu lowered his eyes and nodded.
Seeing that she finally had no thoughts about him, Denton breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as he turned his head, he met Balu's cold eyes.
Denton felt that he was strange, something was vaguely wrong.
While being vigilant, he walked towards him: "Why are you back? What's wrong? Is there any movement outside the city?"
Balu suddenly sneered twice, gritted his teeth and taunted: "Denton! Do you really think of me as a fool!"
His eyes stopped on Wen Qingzhu for a moment.
In order to cooperate, Wen Qingzhu took two steps back as if frightened.
Denton looked sideways at the back: "You go in first."
Wen Qingzhu nodded repeatedly, turned around and left.
Sighing inwardly, Balu really needed to be reminded to realize that she was the original slave girl.
After entering the house, Lei Shuo was still awake.
Wen Qingzhu knew that it was because of the bowl of soup that Jieta had sent him this morning.
But it's okay, let Lei Shuo rest more.
After Wen Qingzhu entered the house, he did not go in immediately. Instead, he leaned against the door and listened to the argument outside.
"Denton! Qing'er was the slave that day, right?" As soon as Balu came up, he grabbed Denton's collar and raised his hand to hit him.
Denton let him do it without any intention of fighting back.
Seeing that Balu's fist was about to fall, he suddenly stopped when he was about to hit him.
Balu's face was red, and he was as angry as a lion with its mane raised. He looked at his former opponent and now teammate, who finally regained his sense and let go.
