The princess is killing like crazy again

Xiao Yurong felt that she was implicated in a great way, but she felt that the fact that Liu Pinjue had used her, his beloved disciple, as bait to lure out the spy was not so annoying.

The person who could deliver blood bird's nest to her and do such delicate work beside the master in the inner courtyard must have been lurking for a long time.

So how much information did this person pass on to the Liu family?

Could it be that she took the trivial matter of Liu Pinjue allowing her to sleep a little longer in the morning before practicing martial arts compared to Li Yaozhi and the others as evidence of her being her "favorite disciple"?

Thinking of this, Xiao Yurong even began to doubt whether Liu Pinjue had already started planning.

"You still have the mind to joke at this time? Why don't you go away quickly?" Liu Pinjue covered the wound on his abdomen that was bleeding and glanced at Xiao Yurong weakly.

Xiao Yurong stopped joking and helped Liu Pinjue escape through the back door.

Liu Pinjue was so badly injured that he couldn't escape far.

After taking just a few steps, the sound of horse hooves came from behind.

Nine times out of ten, they are pursuers.

Ruined.

Xiao Yurong tightly grasped Liu Pinjue's arm on her shoulders and silently quickened her pace.

There is nowhere to escape on this road. Even if you can be smart, don't expect to be as lucky as before and jump into the river.

Now she could only hope that the Fuyang guards who followed her would be smart enough to go and look for reinforcements.

Xiao Yurong's thoughts turned into a whirlwind, racking his brains to think of any way to survive.

Suddenly, a cold light was close to his neck.

Xiao Yurong looked at Liu Pinjue in shock as he placed the sword in his hand on his neck, "Sir?!"

She turned her head slightly and saw Liu Pinjue's half-closed eyes, suspicious and unsure.

Liu Pinjue's eyes were like dark ink, and Xiao Yurong had never been able to understand his thoughts.

But at this moment, Xiao Yurong suddenly understood.

Liu Pinjue was suspicious of her, wondering if she had conspired with the people who were planning to kill him.

No wonder everyone says Liu Pinjue is the leader of Xiongchai. Do you doubt this?

After being in disbelief, Xiao Yurong was almost angry to death.

"Liu Pinjue!" Xiao Yurong was furious. "I'm trying every possible way to save you, and you still doubt me?!"

She even called Liu Pinjue by his name.

The sword on her neck seemed to hesitate for a moment, and Liu Pinjue seemed to confirm that she was not in cahoots with those people, so he retracted the sword.

"Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures." Liu Pinjue did not seem to feel any guilt at all, but spoke calmly.

Xiao Yurong sneered.

If the situation wasn't special and life-threatening, she would have quarreled with Liu Pinjue for half the night.

Xiao Yurong dragged Liu Pinjue forward but stopped talking to him.

Along the way, Liu Pinjue pointed the way several times and asked Xiao Yurong to go that way.

Although Xiao Yurong heard it, he didn't say anything to him.

After a long silence, Liu Pinjue finally spoke: "I... am not sure, the one who betrayed me was my confidant..."

It’s none of my business!

Xiao Yurong thought viciously in his heart.

This time she was caught in a completely unprovoked disaster. Whether she left Liu Pinjue behind or not, she would be implicated.

Xiao Yurong is vindictive and holds grudges very deeply.

As for the fact that Liu Pinjue suspected her and threatened her with a sword, she could at least remember it with one foot in the grave.

The sound of horse hooves was getting closer, and from the sound they seemed to be catching up soon.

"Go away." Liu Pinjue said without warning.

Xiao Yurong even suspected that he had heard it wrongly.

Liu Pinjue said: "If you let me go, you still have time to escape."

Xiao Yurong gritted his teeth and said, "Stop talking nonsense to me."

"I'll take you away!" Xiao Yurong carried Liu Pinjue on his shoulders.

She didn't notice that behind her, Liu Pinjue's brows relaxed slightly, and his grip on the hilt of the sword also loosened a little.

After being questioned by Xiao Yurong, Liu Pinjue still doubted her.

It was not until just now that Liu Pinjue's final test confirmed that Xiao Yurong was really not in cahoots with those people.

This time, he said softly and sincerely, "You go first."

"Sir, when did you become so selfless? You even want to sacrifice yourself for others?" Xiao Yurong was harsh in his words, but he still had no intention of letting go of Liu Pinjue.

Liu Pinjue said, "You are still very young, and you have relatives and friends who love you. They are all waiting for you to come home. It is me who has implicated you. You and I are master and disciple in the past, and I should not see you die."

Xiao Yurong held him tighter, "Well said, we are master and disciple, wouldn't it be against moral principles if I left you behind?"

"Stop messing around, my dear." Liu Pinjue sighed softly.

"What nonsense? Do you think everything I do is nonsense? Even if I am saving you this time, you still think I am fooling around?" Xiao Yurong's brows were cold and resolute, and he was unmoved.

Liu Pinjue often told her that she was making trouble, because among all the disciples, Xiao Yurong was the most troublesome.

Liu Pinjue said: "There is hope only when people are alive. When you die, there is nothing. If you don't leave, both of you will die. If you leave now, there is still a chance."

He whispered, "You have to live well. Living is the most important thing."

The sound of horse hooves is approaching, the pursuers are here.

Xiao Yurong said in a deep voice: "No one can leave now."

"My lord is worthy of being my lord. It is not easy to catch up with you. Look how many of our men have been wasted." The traitor said with a smile while sitting on his horse.

Xiao Yurong recognized that this was the adjutant beside Liu Pinjue, and he seemed to be his cousin, so Liu Pinjue had always trusted him.

"I thought it was many people, but I didn't expect it to be you." Liu Pinjue sighed softly.

He raised his eyes and stared at the man, asking, "Why? I treated you well."

"My Lord," the adjutant sighed, "I don't want to do this either, but our Liu family's plan to conquer the world has been delayed for too long."

Xiao Yurong was startled.

It’s over, it’s over, it’s even more over.

Is this something she can hear? Is this news something she can hear! Why say it in front of her?

Doesn't this mean that she should be eliminated as well?

Even if she and Liu Pinjue got out alive, wouldn't Liu Pinjue kill her to silence her because she heard something she shouldn't have heard?

She did not forget that when she was young, she ran to find Liu Pinjue after practicing archery. She went around most of the Taifu Mansion but couldn't find him. Finally, she accidentally heard the Liu family members conspiring with Liu Pinjue in the garden.

Xiao Yurong made a prompt decision and turned around to run away, but he ran into Liu Pinjue head-on before he took two steps.

Xiao Yurong had no doubt that at that time Liu Pinjue was definitely considering whether to kill him to silence him.

But Xiao Yurong still had to act obedient and pretend that he didn't hear anything.

She observed Liu Pinjue's expression, and found that there was no gloomy or suspicious look on his face. Instead, he looked very calm. However, the glance that fell on her lightly was like a sharp blade.

Xiao Yurong was not sure whether Liu Pinjue just suspected that she heard it or was sure that she heard it.

She wanted to escape, but just after she took two steps, a stone fell at her feet.

Xiao Yurong turned around and saw Liu Pinjue smiling.

At that moment, Xiao Yurong was sure that Liu Pinjue definitely knew that she had heard it.

This was tantamount to warning her that escaping would mean death.

But Liu Pinjue didn't kill her in the end and let her go.

How old was she at that time? Liu Pinjue was thinking of killing her to silence her. Now that she heard it, wouldn't Liu Pinjue cut her into pieces to silence her?

The more Xiao Yurong thought about it, the more hopeless his life seemed.

But obviously Liu Pinjue and the others haven't considered this yet.

Liu Pinjue suddenly laughed, "In arrears? Hahahahaha!"

"I am also a member of the Liu family, and I have also done my best for this. I have exhausted my efforts and put in all my energy, so how can I be said to be in arrears?" Liu Pinjue seemed to find it funny.

His smile became more and more sarcastic, as if he was mocking himself, "Or does the master no longer trust me? The elders... also think I'm useless?"

The adjutant looked at Liu Pinjue, "Master, are you still the same steadfast master as before? The wealth and splendor of Yujing are so attractive, but is your master still determined to carry forward the Liu family and bring peace and prosperity to the world forever?"

"What about you? Do you think I have given up all this?" Liu Pinjue also looked up at the adjutant on horseback.

He stared at the adjutant who had been with him for a long time: "You are my cousin and also my adjutant. When I went to Beijing, you gave up the comfort and future of Yunzhou and asked to follow me to be my adjutant."

He asked, "After being with me for so long, do you also think I have given up on it?"

The adjutant was silent for a moment. "The master's character is incomparable to ordinary people. I have been by the master's side for many years, but I still cannot understand the master."

How could he trust a master who was so cold-hearted and without any flaws?

"What does the Lord want to do now? Power? Or does he still want eternal peace and prosperity? To stop fighting and promote rituals and music?" the adjutant asked. "The higher the position, the more blurred the original intention becomes."

"So even you don't trust me." Liu Pinjue laughed, "In your eyes, I am a ungrateful, mean and heartless ruler who is unwilling to know the suffering of the people and unwilling to hear the injustice of the people."

"I am a cold-hearted person who doesn't care about the way of heaven, the law of the king, or human principles. I didn't even cry when my biological father died. I am a wicked person who is condemned by the world."

He raised the corners of his lips and mocked himself: "After all, no one believed me."

Xiao Yurong looked at Liu Pinjue's profile and suddenly felt the heaviness and loneliness he had experienced along the way.

It seemed that Liu Pinjue didn't even have anyone to talk to.

His subordinates, relatives, old friends, and disciples all tried their best to find out what he was thinking, and some even wanted to kill him. They all respected or feared him, but they didn't love him.

Looking back on the past, only the unobtrusive and hidden spirit of his youth symbolizes that he also had the seven emotions and six desires of a living person.

Because as a monarch, or as a person walking on the path of a monarch, there should be no pain.

"At this point, there's no point in saying more." The adjutant's expression was firm.

Liu Pinjue let go of Xiao Yurong's hand, raised his sword and stood in front of Xiao Yurong, "Yes, there is no point in saying more."

The adjutant waved his hand, and the pursuers rushed forward.

Anyone who came forward was killed on the spot by Liu Pinjue.

But Liu Pinjue was already injured. No matter how powerful he was, he was only a human being and could not withstand so many people attacking him at the same time.

Xiao Yurong had never seen Liu Pinjue in such a miserable state. His body was shaky and it was obvious that he was at the end of his strength.

His blood couldn't even hide the dark robe, making it difficult for Xiao Yurong to connect this man with the gentleman who had been stirring up trouble behind the scenes.

Liu Pinjue didn't turn his head, but just slightly turned his face, "Why don't you leave quickly?"

Yes, this is the best opportunity to leave.

If we leave now, with Liu Pinjue covering our retreat, we still have a great chance of survival.

As long as he could escape, not only would he ensure his own safety, but since this was an internal fight within the Liu family, it would not be bad for Xiao Yurong.

If Liu Pinjue died in this internal struggle, Xiao Yurong would be saved from future troubles and a major worry would be solved.

But Liu Pinjue chose to let her go. If she left, no matter whether she called for help or not, or whether it was in time, Liu Pinjue would definitely die in her current state.

He didn't have a bow and arrow in his hand, only a dagger, but Xiao Yurong was not good at close combat.

"Nonsense! Are you looking for death? Why don't you leave quickly?" Liu Pinjue looked at Xiao Yurong in astonishment as he stood beside him, his brows furrowed.

He gasped and tried to support himself. Blood flowed down his arms to his fingers and palms, dripping onto the ground.

Xiao Yurong looked straight ahead, and Liu Pinjue could only see her clear, straight nose and long black eyelashes.

"I told you long ago that it was you who didn't listen to me." Xiao Yurong supported Liu Pinjue with a smile on her face.

She said: "I will stay with you forever."

No matter how green the mountains are, we will always be together...

"I'm afraid we will have to share life and death together." Liu Pinjue closed his eyes helplessly.

He opened his eyes again, and a flame suddenly lit up in his narrow pupils.

"Perhaps the cooperation between you and me as master and disciple can be a great success." Xiao Yurong even had the leisure to joke.

Even if Xiao Yurong joined the battle, he could not reverse the situation.

Fortunately, the Fuyang Guards she brought with her this time were very smart. They immediately reported the matter and gathered the nearby Fuyang Guards to come over.

They stood in front of Xiao Yurong and Liu Pinjue to stop the pursuers.

"Don't worry, Princess. Reinforcements will be here soon!" said Fuyang Wei.

Even these Fuyang guards are enough to fight off the pursuers, not to mention that reinforcements are about to arrive.

Liu Pinjue shook his body as if exhausted, and the sword sank into the mud to support himself.

Xiao Yurong quickly supported him, "Sir!"

"Cough, cough, cough!" Liu Pinjue covered his mouth and coughed, but his eyes were fixed on the front, "It's okay."

Xiao Yurong looked at his palms covered in blood, not knowing whether it was from his cough, injury, or someone else's blood.

Seeing that the pursuers had lost their opportunity, they began to think of retreating.

Xiao Yurong said to the Fuyang Guards: "I leave this place to you. Capture those who can be caught, and kill those who cannot be caught."

She supported Liu Pinjue and fled under the escort of several Fuyang guards.

"Qingqing." Liu Pinjue called softly.

They had already fled to the edge of a vast field. Further ahead were houses with smoke rising from their chimneys and a field of blooming wild flowers on the roadside.

Xiao Yurong stopped and saw Abei and Liu Pinjue's personal guards not far ahead.

Abei and the others also stopped and did not move forward, as if they were waiting for something.
