The three of them did not act rashly. They only lifted the curtain slightly and peeked outside.
They saw that the two leading horses on the official road had been tripped by the ropes. The guards sent by Ji Zeyu fell to the ground and struggled to get up. They retreated to the side of the carriage. The rest of the guards also took out their weapons and prepared for battle.
This was because there were more than ten people dressed like refugees around the carriage.
These people were dressed in tattered clothes, but they did not look weak like refugees. They were all tall and strong, and were even stronger than the guards sent by Ji Zeyu. They were all holding steel swords that shone with a cold light. If they were ordinary refugees, how could they find such swords?
"Who are you!"
The 'refugees' did not say a word. They waved their swords and rushed forward. More than ten people were imposing, like fierce tigers coming down from the mountains. They were actually using all their strength to take someone's life. The guards did not say anything else. They took out their swords and rushed forward. The two groups of people fought together.
Ji Zeyu's trusted aides should be like Jinghu Wei, the elites of the elites. But who would have thought that the other party's abilities were not bad. Moreover, the other party had more people. Ji Zeyu had only arranged for six people. Only five of them went forward to fight, and the last one was driving the carriage.
Qin Yining's heart skipped a beat. He pulled the curtain tight and turned to Bing Tang and Ji Yun. He said, "The situation is not good. I'm afraid these people are from the Tatan! "
"What?" Ji Yun covered her mouth.
"I've been in the Tatan for so long, and I have some impression of the people there. They do look like Tatan people. Where else can there be such strong refugees? If they are bandits pretending to be refugees, are they robbing because they want to kill people and not for money? In any case, they should at least hand over their valuables and let unrelated people leave. But they didn't say a word. It's obvious that they are coming for me. "
Bing Tang was so nervous that his face turned pale. But after all, he had been through a lot with Qin Yining. Although he was afraid, he did not panic. He took out a small paper bag containing anesthetic powder from his sleeve and gave one to Qin Yining and Ji Yun.
"This medicine only needs to be sprinkled on a person's face to make them dizzy. It will have a certain effect. Princess Consort, don't be afraid. We will guard the carriage. if it doesn't work, we will sprinkle the medicine. "
"Yes." Ji Yun also slowly. She pulled her sword. She smiled and said, "I don't believe that those barbarians are too strong.. If I want to touch you, I'll have to ask the sword in my hand first. "
Qin Yining saw that although they were scared, they could still stay calm and never leave her. She was gratified and touched. "Don't be impulsive, you two. Wait and see the situation clearly. You have to protect yourself. "
. "As soon as he finished speaking, the carriage, which had stopped steadily, suddenly rushed forward.
The coachman spoke in a northern dialect. His lowered voice was very hoarse. "Princess Consort, let's rush out first! Sit tight! "
Qin Yining grabbed the edge of the window with both hands. The running carriage raised the curtains on both sides. Qin Yining also saw the outside clearly.
The five guards had actually used their bodies to block him!
Qin Yining was so anxious that his eyes turned red. She hated herself for being useless. She could not be of any use at the critical moment and had to implicate others.
If something happened to those five people in order to protect her, how was she going to repay them?!
But in the current situation, she could not help at all! The only thing she could do was to stay in the carriage and watch people sacrifice themselves!
The carriage rushed forward. The coachman's eyes were already red. He roared as he sped up. In the blink of an eye, he rushed out of the encirclement. The mud on the muddy road left messy marks on the back of the carriage. Even the shafts of the carriage made creaking sounds, as if they would fall apart at any moment.
At this moment, there was a "sou" sound as the arrow pierced through the air. It hit the coachman's chest. The tip of the arrow came out of his back and blood splattered everywhere.
He spat out a large mouthful of blood. He used the last of his willpower to stop the carriage with all his strength. If he died, the rampaging carriage would take the life of the pregnant woman in the carriage. This way, the person in the carriage would have a chance to change the coachman.
"Princess ….. Princess Consort, I ….."
Feeling the carriage suddenly stop and hearing the man's muffled groan, Ji Yun lifted the curtains and saw the coachman's body fall to the ground.
Blood flowed out of his chest and mouth. He spat out blood foam with his short and labored breaths. Finally, he unwillingly closed his eyes as a trace of blood seeped out of his mouth and nose.
"Princess Consort!" Ji Yun cried out in alarm and was about to drive the carriage.
But Qin Yining patted Ji Yun's shoulder and said, "Forget it. Don't move for now."
Ji Yun raised her head and looked in the direction Qin Yining was pointing. She saw a short man wearing short brown clothes and a Six Harmonies hat. He was wearing a black brocade mask and had his hands clasped behind his back.
Beside him was a tall and fierce man. The bow in the man's hand was pulled into a full moon shape and the tip of the arrow was pointed in the direction of the carriage.
Without a doubt, whether it was Ji Yun or Bing Tang, as long as someone dared to drive the carriage, they would end up like the coachman who fell to the ground.
"Princess Consort ….."
"Be obedient." Qin Yining raised his voice and said with a smile, "Tian Jizi is a divine strategist. He predicted that I would take advantage of the heavy rain to return to the city and was merciful. He didn't have someone kill me with an arrow. He must have something to say to me. If it has nothing to do with you, you are not allowed to come out. "
Tian Jizi?
Ji Yun and Bing Tang's hearts beat wildly as they looked at the short masked man.
The masked man chuckled and pulled off his mask and threw it on the ground. Braving the drizzle, he took two steps forward with his hands clasped behind his back. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes turned into two chrysanthemums as he smiled. "Princess Consort, don't you feel any surprise at meeting an old friend?"
Qin Yining also got off the carriage and stood still while holding his aching waist. Bing Tang and Ji Yun also got off the carriage and supported Qin Yining on his left and right.
Bing Tang stood in front of Qin Yining and called out hesitantly, "Shizun, you ….."
"Aiyo, so it's Jing Zhen." Tian Jizi shook his head and sighed. "Back in Dayan, your father entrusted you to Xian Nu's monastery and you became my little disciple. We can be considered to have a master-disciple relationship. Although you are no longer my disciple, I still remember our old relationship. I won't kill you. "
Tian Jizi smiled lovingly and waved his hand. "You can leave."
Bing Tang's hair stood on end when he heard this. He spread his arms and stood in front of Qin Yining. "No, Shizun, you can't kill Princess Consort. She is a good person. Why do you want to kill her?"
"Jing Zhen, you are a lucky girl. Don't be too stubborn. Be careful that your good fortune turns into a disaster."
"Why? Why do you want to harm Wang Ye? Why do you want to harm our Princess Consort? You also said that we have a master-disciple relationship. If it wasn't for Princess Consort's protection, I would have died long ago. Can't you let her go on account of your disciple? "
When Ji Yun heard this, she also begged, "You are an otherworldly expert and a cultivator. Princess Consort is pregnant with twins in her belly. If you kill her, you will have three lives. Aren't you afraid that it will reduce your merit?"
Ji Yun wanted to forcefully break through, but she couldn't do so now. The man's sharp arrow was pointed at her. What if Princess Consort was accidentally injured?
Tian Jizi shook his head and sighed. "You guys are too stubborn. What's so good about her, huh? Is she worth your protection? "
When he looked at Qin Yining, Tian Jizi's eyes suddenly became fierce.
"If it weren't for you, my plan would have been completed from the beginning. Why would I have delayed it for so many years and caused the world to be in such chaos?!"
Qin Yining could see the anger and madness in Tian Jizi's eyes. He knew that it was useless to plead now. He couldn't run away, so he decided to let go of his thoughts. He pulled Bing Tang and Ji Yun behind him to stop them from coming forward. He stroked his stomach and looked at Tian Jizi.
"Tian Jizi is an otherworldly expert. You boast that you can see through the mysteries of heaven. From the moment I didn't know you, your legend was no longer a secret. Back then, you gave Your Majesty, North Placating Marquis, and Wang Ye a fortune-telling. You said something about the Ziwei Emperor Star and the three inauspicious stars. "
At this point, Qin Yining sneered, and his eyes became sharp. "If it weren't for this fortune-telling, why would Your Majesty fear Pang Zhixi to this extent? Why would we have so many twists and turns?! You said I was a variable? What about you? Aren't you an evildoer who brings chaos to the world?! You plan this and calculate that. Have you ever considered that your own existence is a threat to the common people?! "
"What a joke!" Tian Jizi was so angry that his face turned red. He angrily pointed at Qin Yining and said, "If it weren't for a variable like you, I would have already led the world's affairs onto the right path! But now? With the Ziwei Emperor Star by my side, the person who deserves to die didn't die, causing my game of chess to be messed up! "
Qin Yining's heart was beating wildly!
"With the Ziwei Emperor Star by my side, the person who deserves to die didn't die." Did that mean that Pang Xiao and Li Qitian were still alive?!
Tian Jizi pointed at Qin Yining in exasperation. "You should have died long ago! Your existence is the biggest variable in my game of chess! "
Qin Yining sneered. "Back then, in the Fairy Lady Temple, you said that I had an extremely noble destiny. Now you're going back on your words? Do you remember how many of your words can be trusted? "
"At that time, I saw that Duchess Ding was there, so I had no choice but to speak nonsense! I calculated all the people in the world, but I couldn't see through you. You were clearly destined to die young, but you've always lived!
"If your mother hadn't been pregnant with you, your father wouldn't have tried to drive a wedge between Beiji and Pang Zhongzheng. Pang Zhongzheng's original destiny would have been completely changed, and he died an unnatural death. Pang Zhixi could have been a young marshal when he was born, but he wasted his time in the countryside until he was in his teens, causing the Seven Kills Star to rise to the top.
"And this time, it's all because of you! Pang Zhixi didn't have to go!
"You were born to be a variable!
"Only by killing you can everything return to the right path!"
Tian Jizi gritted his teeth. He had lost control of his emotions due to his anger. He turned around and pulled out a knife from the man's waist. Then, he walked over murderously with Qin Yining.
"If I kill you today, I can set things right, and everything in the human world can return to the right path. If you die, you can't blame me. It's your fault for not living in this world! "
When Ji Yun saw Tian Jizi coming over with a knife, she pulled out her soft sword in a panic.
