“Second Prince—that’s—that’s all—”
The two guards knelt tremblingly at the door of Yelu Daiqin's tent, not daring to raise their heads, and told the whole story in detail.
"Bastard!" Yelu Daiqin had always been quite calm in front of his subordinates, and easily calmed down, but now his face completely darkened, his features were serious and his eyes were as cold as ice.
He has clear and handsome features, and he doesn't like to smile much. He always looks indifferent and dignified, and there is a natural barrier between him and others. Now when he gets angry, his expression is so cold that people dare not look directly at him.
"What the Second Prince told you last night, you all just drank it!"
'Pa-pa'
Ninko stepped forward and slapped the two guards on the face with two sharp slaps.
After being slapped, the two guards did not dare to touch their faces. They kowtowed to the ground and said, "Second Prince, please spare your life! Second Prince, please spare us this time -"
Ninke raised his hand to fight, but Yelu Daiqin had turned around and walked into the tent, "Cut off their heads and throw them to Heling, and feed their corpses to the eagles!"
His tone could not be more calm, but every word made people shudder.
Ninke followed a few steps and knelt down at Yelu Daiqin's feet, trembling, "Second prince, please spare them this time -"
He raised his eyes and glanced over the brocaded clothes to see one of them kneeling on the ground, his eyes were scarlet, "This is a humble position - I only have this one younger brother!"
Yelu Daiqin stood with his hands behind his hands, snorted coldly, and looked at Ninko, "It's okay not to have this kind of brother! It will only drag you down! If he really has you as a brother in his heart, he won't miss it even if he sends a whistle! He When I let him go, didn't he think about whether he would harm you?"
"Come here! Prepare your horses! Pick more than fifty guards to go out with me to look for people!"
"yes!"
After saying that, he bypassed Ninko and went straight to the tent.
...
"Princess, we have passed Heling! Do you want to dismount and rest for a while?" Wen Chan chased after Jinghua Hairpin's horse.
Jinghua Hairpin tightened the reins, slowed down a little, and looked forward, "So fast? Okay! Then dismount and rest for a while!"
After saying that, the three of them were about to stop their horses, but when they heard a whistle, the horses suddenly became restless, raised their front hooves and roared in circles.
But just like that, the horse became quiet again after the whistle disappeared.
Jing Huahan was not good at riding, so he was so frightened that he leaned tightly on the horse and did not dare to move.
"Wen Chan, Qing'e, did you hear it? Was there any sound just now?"
Wen Chan and Qing'e also sat on their horses and looked around vigilantly. Indeed, no one could be seen.
"Don't be afraid, princess! I will get off my horse and help you!" Wen Chan said and was about to turn over and dismount, but as soon as he finished speaking, the whistle came again, and it seemed to be getting closer and closer.
The three horses became more and more frantic and started running like crazy. When they were suddenly jolted, the reins that Jinghua Hairpin had not grasped were suddenly thrown out.
"Princess!--"
...
"Are you making the right sound? Why is there no movement at all?" Yelu Daiqin sat on the horse irritably, surrounded by a dark circle of mounted guards.
"That's right, second prince! That's the sound! I remember, the third prince also looked for a horse like this!"
Yelu Daiqin pursed her lips tightly, with a sinister expression on her face, "Blow again!"
"ah--"
"Princess, be careful!——"
"Princess!--"
Accompanied by the sound of whistles and the neighing of horses, Jinghua Hairpin fell off the horse and rolled several times in the white snow. The bursting pain all over her body made it impossible for her to move anymore.
The horse kept running and ran for a while. Wen Chan stopped the horse. She quickly dismounted and stopped Qing'e's horse behind her. When the two of them ran back to Jinghua Hairpin, Jinghua Hairpin was already there. He lay there bleeding and unconscious from his mouth.
"The princess is dead!" Qing'e cried out with a cry, "How good is this! Princess, how can we explain to the emperor and queen! It seems that you and I have no choice but to commit suicide!"
"Can you please stop saying depressing words! What else can you say besides saying 'How wonderful is this'!" Wen Chan cursed angrily, calmed down and stretched out a finger to poke between Jinghua Hairpin's breath. Go and smile, "Stop crying! The princess is not dead! She still has some energy!"
Qing'e's face suddenly softened, she wiped away her tears and moved towards Jinghua's hairpin nose.
"The princess is not dead! Great!"
"Second Prince, you are right to follow this road! Look, the snow is full of those horse hoof prints!"
The sun reflected on the snow, creating a dazzling light. Yelu Daiqin squinted his eyes and looked at the horse hoof prints on the ground again and again, "Look at it! Eight percent is not far away!"
"yes!"
As if something was blocked in his throat, Jing Huahan opened his eyes with difficulty and looked at the two people in front of him who were crying with joy. Just as he opened his mouth slightly to speak, a mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth.
"Cough - cough cough -" Jing Huahan frowned. The pain all over her body forced her to clench her fists tightly, and her nails were embedded in her flesh. "It - it hurts!"
"Princess, please stop talking!" Seeing Jing Huahan's complexion suddenly turn pale, Wen Chan couldn't help crying, "It's okay! We will find a way to save you! Save your energy and stop talking!" "
Jing Huahan forced out a painful smile, reached into his arms with trembling hands, took out a bright yellow cloth bag, and put it into Wen Chan's arms, "I-I'm afraid-I can't survive-"
"Don't cry——" As she spoke, another mouthful of blood gushes out of her mouth, and the bright red liquid dyed her fair neck.
Her painful fingertips trembled and she caressed Wen Chan and Qing'e's cheeks, "You all - don't cry for me anymore - our Jing family - are sinners - putting the people of Da Jing in water and fire. But - but there is nothing I can do - I would not regret dying! Ahem -"
"Princess! -" Qing'e and Wenchan tightly held Jinghua's hairpin hands and cried uncontrollably.
"Wen Chan! You must - you must take the token back - back to the Zhenguo Palace -"
Before Jinghua Hairpin finished speaking, his calamus-like eyelashes had slowly closed.
"Princess! You-"
"Stop crying, look!" Qing'e interrupted Wenchan's cry and looked behind Wenchan. At the same time, Wenchan also heard the rumble of horse hoofs coming from behind.
"Second Prince, we found them! Those three people in front!"
Yelu Daiqin followed the sound and immediately saw the Jinghua hairpin leaning on Wen Chan's arms, and also saw the bright red blood spreading on her neck.
His pupils instantly dilated, and his heart suddenly fell into the abyss.
He raised his riding whip vigorously several times, and the horse ran to Jinghua Hairpin as fast as possible.
He tightened the reins and stopped the horse, but stared blankly at the Jinghua hairpin in Wen Chan's arms, and did not dare to dismount.
The white neck was almost completely surrounded by blood, and the beautiful phoenix eyes seemed to have been peacefully asleep with their eyelids completely lowered.
He didn't dare think about whether the person in front of him was alive or dead.
"What's going on! Is he still alive?" A guard got off his horse, quickly ran to Wen Chan's side, and stood to check.
Wen Chan slowly raised her head with tears in her eyes and looked at Yelu Daiqin hatefully, "Master Riasi, are you finally satisfied now? The whistle just now - it's your person!"
Yelu Daiqin reacted immediately. Only then did he realize that he had made a huge mistake!
"Human-" In an instant, he felt as if something was about to burst in his throat, and a sourness surged in his nose.
He got off his horse and walked towards the people on the ground, "Alive - or dead -"
No one answered, only the howling cold wind blew.
He leaned down with scarlet eyes, snatched the person from Wen Chan's arms and carried her on the horse, "Tie her two up! Go back to the camp!"
"yes!"
