Crossing the Passenger Sacrifice

Chapter 159

"Your second brother said he wanted to go with us."

The Sixth Princess was very satisfied and repeated the Second Princess's opinion in front of Li Huoyue.

Li Huoyue was not deaf and could hear the voice behind him.

"I have a question." Li Huoyue finally looked into the Sixth Princess' eyes. A pair of smiling eyes suddenly appeared in his calm eyes. "Excuse me, in what capacity do you invite us?"

The light of the lantern flickered inexplicably at this moment. This time the Sixth Princess couldn't resist it. She lowered her eyes and shifted her gaze. The smile on her face faded a little. The darker the night, the more obscure her expression became.

"You are more perceptive than before." The Sixth Princess lowered her head and played with her fingers, without giving a direct answer.

Seeing that she had insisted on not mentioning her identity as the Sixth Princess, Li Huoyue chuckled, not very respectfully, and asked, "Nostalgia Bureau?"

It's a pity that the two of them are old friends, but they don't have any friendship.

The Sixth Princess instantly understood what Li Huoyue meant. Thinking back, she did have some signs of repeating the past. She laughed and said in a casual tone without any sincerity, "It seems that I talk too much."

After that, he added, "Do you think I only brought thirteen people with me?"

Li Huoyue's breathing was stagnant for a moment, and she subconsciously counted again. She really only counted thirteen people in the dark. What did the Sixth Princess mean...

If there are really more than thirteen people, it only proves that there are people who are much more powerful than Li Huoyue lying in ambush.

"Just as you thought, I did come here to target you." The Sixth Princess said again, with a bright smile on her face.

OK OK.

I hadn’t thought about it that way before.

Li Huoyue took a deep breath secretly and clenched his back teeth tightly.

It was clearly the prince who called her away, so why was he targeting her alone?

"I didn't plan to invite you for tea." The Sixth Princess carefully studied Li Huoyue's expression. He seemed to be in a good mood. She suddenly confessed, not caring whether it was the right time to confess. "You killed my people at Jingxuan Bridge before, which ruined my business. Today... I'm here to settle the score."

I thought I was being targeted because I didn't accept the Sixth Princess' invitation in the palace.

Li Huoyue really didn't want to recall this incident. She originally thought that the secret was leaked by the King Li who was not killed completely, but now it seems that it was someone else.

Although the Sixth Princess's actions may be erratic, what she says is very practical.

She said she came to settle accounts, so she must have had this idea.

Li Huoyue doesn't have much experience in dealing with the Sixth Princess.

It was just that she had encountered it a few times before when she was in contact with the eldest princess. At that time, the sixth princess's legs had not been damaged, and it did not affect her diseased characteristics.

With no examples to draw lessons from, Li Huoyue made a quick decision and leaped behind the Sixth Princess:

"If you want to kill me, you shouldn't talk too much nonsense."

The explosive power in a short distance made Li Huoyue move so fast that no one around him could react. The dagger in his hand was already on the Sixth Princess' neck, and the cold back of the blade pressed against the Sixth Princess with a slight force.

The palace servant who was pushing the wheelchair was kicked away by Li Huoyue. He came to his senses after hitting the ground, and hurriedly got up, and attacked Li Huoyue together with the lantern holder.

Before he got close, Li Huoyue grabbed the Sixth Princess by the neck with one hand and lifted her up in front of everyone's surprised gazes.

"!!!"

The guards froze in place, unsure how to react.

This girl from the Li family is really brave!

The Sixth Princess instinctively struggled a few times at first, but then she went crazy for some unknown reason, frowning and smiling in discomfort, as if she was enjoying it.

It's painful and enjoyable.

It would be more accurate to say that she was restraining her body's reaction and deliberately putting herself in such a bad situation rather than giving up her instinct to survive.

"Step aside." Li Huoyue held up the Sixth Princess and spoke concisely.

The guards thought for two seconds and then took a step back.

Li Huoyue was not satisfied with this concession, and spoke again, setting a distance: "Thirty steps."

No one moved.

Li Huoyue shook the "token" in his hand and did not repeat his words, but everyone understood.

As the Sixth Princess's expression became increasingly suspicious, the guards finally compromised and quickly retreated according to Li Huoyue's instructions.

Only after everyone had left did Li Huoyue throw the Sixth Princess back into the wheelchair.
