What was the secret order given by Prince Qi?

Every word is asking for the life of his future lover, and Zijian is the executioner.

Zi Jian recalled that he was carrying out the task assigned by his adoptive father at that time, and he vaguely learned from his subordinates that a princess from the palace had come to the palace. At that time, he didn't care at all, but just thought that his sister, Princess Yan Ke, would be worried about another person competing for the attention of Prince Qi. He could even imagine Yan Ke's pouting expression of dissatisfaction and complaint.

But she has always had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. This mission will be completed soon. When I return, I will bring her some gifts, and Yan Ke will be happy.

As for the eldest princess who came from the palace, he was not interested in her and did not take her seriously.

On the night of the closing of the net, there was a small accident. When the enemy leader was cornered, the enemy sprinkled the powder into Zijian's eyes in a hurry. Before he could move, the sword in his hand pierced the man's heart and penetrated his entire chest. When the man was completely motionless, Zijian drew out his sword and neatly cut off his head and handed it to his men.

Zi Jian had an eye disease when he was young, which was so serious that he suffered from insomnia for a time. It was not until he was adopted by King Qi and treated by the best doctor that he gradually recovered. It has never recurred over the years, and he thought he was completely cured, but today the medicine powder made it impossible for him to open his eyes, and the darkness in front of him made fear sprout in his heart.

Fortunately, after rinsing with clean water, my eyesight was restored, but I also became afraid.

After staying here for a few days to make sure that the matter had been dealt with and would not affect his adoptive father, Zijian took the gift he bought for Yan Ke and prepared to return to the palace. Halfway through the journey, the secret order from King Qi arrived first, asking him to kill Princess Le Yan to silence her.

He never asked why his adoptive father gave him orders; doing things cleanly was more important than anything else.

It's easy to kill an unarmed woman!

But there was still a problem. Zi Jian didn't know what the princess looked like, and only heard the rough description of his subordinates during their casual chat. But the princess hurriedly fled the Qi Palace and must not dare to stay in Beiqi, so he set up an ambush on the road she had to pass.

It was a cloudy day, the sun was reluctant to come out, and it was foggy everywhere. Zi Jian felt that there was something strange in his eyes, and every time he blinked, it seemed like a small stone was rolling. He took simple measures and would deal with it when he returned to the palace after completing the task. This was a wild forest. According to the princess's speed, she would arrive nearby in the next two days.

Compared to Princess Le Yan, the first to arrive was Xiao Lao Da, whom Zi Jian had been chasing. After searching everywhere for him, this cunning Xiao Lao Da actually showed up. Xiao Lao Da was really cunning. He led Zi Jian into the wild woods and found something wrong with Zi Jian during the fight. Xiao Lao Da pretended to throw away his armor and admit defeat, but in fact he secretly took out the prepared lime powder from his arms and sprinkled it into Zi Jian's eyes, and then took out a dagger and stabbed it straight into Zi Jian's neck.

Zi Jian had learned martial arts since childhood and had excellent hearing. He held his sword tightly and prepared to fight. He vaguely heard someone approaching quickly. He thought to himself that it was Boss Xiao's helper, and then he remembered Boss Xiao's wailing and roaring.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, did I hurt you?" A clear and crisp female voice sounded in my ears, and she sounded no more than eighteen or nineteen years old.

Boss Xiao wailed, "Asshole, I think you are looking for death."

Zi Jian couldn't see, but he heard that the woman who saved him had been caught by Xiao Lao Da. According to Xiao Lao Da's personality, he would never give up. He clenched his sword and slashed at Xiao Lao Da according to the sound, avoiding the woman's vital parts. Xiao Lao Da saw that he had no chance of winning, so he pushed the woman in his hand towards Zi Jian's sword and took the opportunity to escape.

Zi Jian put the sword behind his back in time and caught the woman accurately with his other hand. At this time, he also doubted whether this woman was Princess Le Yan. If so, he would insert the sword in his hand into her body without hesitation.

No one can stop him from fulfilling his adoptive father's orders as long as he is alive!

Soon his concerns were dispelled. When the woman tentatively reached out her hand in front of Zijian and waved it to test whether he could still see it, Zijian took the opportunity to accidentally touch her palm.

There were calluses all over her palm, and the skin on the palm was a little rough, which meant she worked a lot. A princess in the palace, who had been pampered and spoiled since childhood, would never be like this.

"How are your eyes?" the woman asked.

"It's okay, thank you miss for saving me." Zijian replied.

"It's a small matter, not worth mentioning. Your eyes need treatment, but I'm in a hurry and can't accompany you to see a doctor. Take this handkerchief. Walk forward and you will come across a tea stand. Maybe they can help you."

"Thank you very much. May I ask your name, young lady? I will come to thank you one day."

The woman thought for a moment and then opened her lips and said, "Xinghe, it's just a small favor. I don't ask for your thanks. We'll part ways now."

Only after confirming the woman's name did Zi Jian completely let down his guard. After she left, Zi Jian took out the medicine from his arms, wiped the powder from his eyes, and just enough to see some light, he went to find the tea stand as Xing He said.

Xiao Lao Da had already revealed Zi Jian's whereabouts to his enemies who hated him to the bone, so these people gathered together and ambushed on both sides of the road. Two fists are no match for four hands, and the injured Zi Jian was no match for them. He was stabbed in the chest, back, and thighs, leaving no intact spot on his body.

As for leaving him alive, it was just because they didn't want him to die so easily. They wanted to vent their anger, so they brought a horse, tied one of Zijian's legs to the horse, and then stabbed a sword into the horse's buttocks. The pain made the horse drag Zijian to run fast, and blood mixed with mud formed red marks on the ground.

Fortunately, he was a killer, and he had to carry a knife when he went out, sometimes more than one. Zijian held back his body that was about to fall apart, and simply raised his leg to let the dagger in his boot fall out. With this dagger, he cut the rope, and then used his last bit of strength to roll into the bushes beside the road.

It was an early spring day, and the fragrant grass had just begun to emerge, emitting a light yellow fragrance.

His nose was filled with the smell of blood, his mouth was also filled with a fishy smell, and every time he breathed, his internal organs almost fell apart.

"It's over. This life is finally over."

Zijian slowly closed his eyes and felt ants crawling on his body, which made him feel itchy.

"It would be better if I died like this, but it's a pity that I couldn't complete my foster father's order."

Gradually, Zijian completely lost consciousness.

When he opened his eyes again, the world was dark.

The bright moon hung in the sky, and the cold moonlight fell on the ground. Zi Jian realized that he was moving, but he couldn't speak.

"You're awake, why are you like this?"

Zi Jian moved his lips, but no sound came out of his throat.

"Forget it, you better not talk."

"..."

"I'm Xinghe, and I'm here to save you."
