Chapter 159 The Deadly Girl
The caravan slowly left the city and was stopped and checked at the city gate.
The caravan leader walked aside to talk with the leader of the soldiers who were checking the carriage, while the carriage had already been searched.
Ling Jinlan lowered his head and clutched his sleeves nervously.
But soon, the man shouted, "Release!"
The soldiers stopped the search and let them go immediately.
The team slowly left the city.
There was a notice posted on the city gate wall, but Ling Jinlan couldn't see it clearly. He only saw his own name and his brother's name.
Her heart sank.
It's definitely not a good thing.
The caravan left the city smoothly. Several men followed behind, looking at Ling Jinlan, whispering, and laughing with ill intentions, which was particularly harsh.
The caravan that was originally taking the main road suddenly changed its route and headed towards a remote path.
The journey was bumpy and difficult. These men hadn't touched a woman for several months. Looking at the delicate little girl sitting in the carriage, with her fair and tender appearance, they really couldn't suppress the evil thoughts in their hearts.
The carriage stopped at a secluded forest path, and several men walked towards Ling Jinlan, scaring her so much that her face turned pale.
You looked up at them nervously, "What's wrong?"
A man reached out and lifted her chin. "Girl, look at your cheeks, which are so tight that they look like they're soaked with water. They really make us brothers' hearts burn. Why don't you have some fun with us?"
"I guarantee you'll have delicious food and drinks along the way, and you won't have to endure any hardship at all!"
Ling Jinlan was so frightened that tears welled up in her eyes. She looked pitiful and begged for mercy in a low voice: "I can work, can you please not…"
That pitiful and frightened look caused a burst of evil laughter.
"Hahaha, your job is to serve us!" The man grabbed her arm and dragged her into the woods.
"Let go, let me go." Ling Jinlan cried and struggled.
A group of men laughed wildly and dragged her into the depths of the woods.
Only two people were left to guard the convoy. Seeing the scene, they couldn't help but shout, "Hurry up, don't kill them, leave some meat for us."
Behind the lush grass, Ling Jinlan was thrown to the ground, and a murderous intent flashed in his tearful eyes.
The dagger in his hand suddenly flashed with a cold light.
The sharp dagger pierced the man's throat, and blood splattered.
The extremely fast movement made everyone unable to react. Two bodies were lying on the ground, and the man standing was still laughing.
The next moment, a thin figure flashed past them.
Then I saw the girl holding a dagger, covered in blood. She was no longer as weak and pitiful as before, and her fierce eyes made people's backs chill.
"you!"
Everyone was shocked and just raised their hands.
Suddenly I felt a chill on my neck.
Looking down, I saw that my clothes were already stained with blood.
Everyone fell down one after another.
Ling Jinlan went forward to check. One of them was still breathing. He covered his neck and spoke with difficulty: "Save... me..."
Ling Jinlan's eyes turned cold, and he raised his hand and swung his knife.
Kill with one knife.
After making sure that they were all dead, Ling Jinlan wiped the dagger and hid it close to his body.
The coldness in his eyes disappeared in an instant, and he stumbled out of the woods in panic and fear.
"Help... Help, there's a wild beast!"
"They're eating people... Help..."
In her haste, she tripped over a branch.
The two people outside the woods changed their expressions when they heard the sound, looked at each other and immediately ran into the woods.
Seeing the girl fall to the ground, he didn't care and ran past her inside, shouting, "Boss? Are you okay?"
They rushed to the scene of the accident and saw blood and corpses everywhere. They were so scared that their faces turned pale.
However, at this moment, the cold knife had already stabbed into their bodies from behind.
The two men fell down one after another.
Ling Jinlan calmly wiped the dagger and bent down to search for valuables from them.
He packed a big bag and walked out of the woods.
The wooden box on the carriage slowly opened, and a pair of eyes appeared from the gap in the box to observe.
After seeing that there was no one around, he quickly got out of the wooden box.
"Jinlan, where are they?"
"died."
Ling Jinlan calmly walked to the carriage, found some clean clothes, and headed into the woods. "You watch over me, I'll go change."
After a while, a handsome young man walked out of the woods.
"Aren't we going back to Kyoto with their caravan? Now it's just the two of us?" Ling Chaowen was worried.
The journey is so long, how can I go back?
Ling Jinlan unloaded the carriage and led a horse to him. Ling Chaowen took the reins obediently.
Ling Jinlan then divided up some clothes and belongings, put them in a bundle and handed it to him, "This money is enough for you to return to Kyoto. Remember to be careful on the road and never stay in one place for more than half a day."
"If you encounter someone asking questions with a portrait, or a place with notices, take a detour. Don't go in to watch the fun. Remember, you are running for your life."
Ling Chaowen's handsome face was filled with worry and uneasiness. "You won't come with me?"
Ling Jinlan said calmly: "There's a notice about us posted at the city gate. Someone is looking for us."
"It's too risky for us to go together. My brother and sister will definitely investigate closely."
"So let's go our separate ways. Whether we can return to Kyoto depends on our own fate."
"You must remember, don't trust anyone along the way! Absolutely not!"
"Don't show your money to others. You can even pretend to be a beggar."
Ling Jinlan's voice was cold but full of worry. After repeatedly giving instructions, she also put on her bag and led the horse.
"Let's say goodbye here."
After saying this, Ling Jinlan jumped on his horse and rode away without hesitation.
"Jinlan!" Ling Chaowen's eyes were red. He held the reins tightly and watched Ling Jinlan leave without looking back. A sense of loss surged in his heart.
Carrying the heavy bag, I could only ride my horse and leave here.
……
"I still remember the first time I met you, riding your horse with high spirits. At that time, I decided that I would marry you in this life. I don't know why I keep dreaming of your figure from those days. It lingers in my mind. I hope to see you again tonight. Tonight at midnight, Adding Star Tower - Jiang Ningwan."
In the private room of Tianxing Tower, Qin Beihuang looked at the letter in his hand, picked up the wine jug and drank it in big gulps to relieve the melancholy in his heart.
I write one letter like this every day.
She asked him to meet her at Tianxing Building every day, but she never came.
Qin Beihuang was drunk and looked at the moonlight outside the window. He seemed to see Jiang Ningwan's figure on the Dengque Tower outside the window.
He was really stunned.
Even though he knew Jiang Ningwan was playing tricks on him, he still came to wait every day.
How cheap.
In frustration, Qin Beihuang swept his arm across the table, and the dishes shattered to the ground.
The letter also fell to the ground inadvertently.
He slept soundly until dawn. The waiter came to check and found that Qin Beihuang had not woken up yet, so he quickly sent someone to send him back.
Lu Qingheng watched quietly from a distance.
Heart-wrenching.
When the guy was cleaning the room, he found the letter dropped on the floor and picked it up immediately.
……
Prince Chu's Mansion.
The sunlight poured into the study, half of the desk was illuminated by the sun, and a bony hand was holding a pen, writing slowly.
Qin Shuangchi's body was half light and half dark, just like the struggle in his heart at the moment.
"Your Highness, a servant from Tianxing Tower brought a letter saying that you had fallen in your room two days ago. They sent it specially for you."
Xiao Lan came quickly with a letter and handed it to Qin Shuangchi.
Qin Shuangchi put down his pen, took the letter and opened it, and suddenly his palm tightened.
