Ning Ying swept a glance at Zhang Guoliang, shook his head and said, "I can't believe Jin'er's actions were more efficient than mine."
She didn't know if Ning Ying's words were a compliment or a derogatory one. After all, in his eyes, although she knew martial arts, she was still a young miss of the Prime Minister's Estate. How could she be so ruthless?
After a while, the eunuchs and guards outside rushed into the palace. Ning Ying led everyone to clean up the palace, nailed Teacher Zhang's shoulder blades, and let the imperial guards bring them back to King Ning's Mansion. Then, naturally, they held Qiao Liangjin's hand and walked out of the palace.
Qiao Liangjin wanted to break free from Ning Ying's hand, but to her surprise, he didn't have any intention of letting go. Sensing Qiao Liangjin's actions, he only glanced back at her and spoke in a low voice, "Don't be like this, let me send you off."
The reluctance in her eyes caused Qiao Liangjin to suddenly feel somewhat anxious. She actually felt that she had gone too far. However, when she thought of how he had sealed her memories for her own selfish ends, that unpleasant feeling involuntarily arose again. She stopped and calmly said, "It's done, Prince Ning."
A hint of pain appeared in Ning Ying's eyes. He finally let go of Qiao Liangjin's hand and said with a bitter smile, "So that's it?"
Qiao Liangjin smiled sweetly and said, "I helped you save His Majesty, you saved me, and we're even. You wiped away my memory, and you're even with the red coral tree you gave me."
He wanted to argue, but when he opened his mouth, he realized that he had no reason to refute. Qiao Liangjin was right, all of this was her own personal property, she wanted to take over everything from her.
Qiao Liangjin smiled lightly, waved her hand and said, "Prepare the horses for me. I'm going out of the city, so you can send me outside the city gate. After I return, you should be on full alert throughout the city.
Ning Ying followed behind Qiao Lianjin silently and walked towards the palace entrance. Outside the door, the young servant of Ning Ying waved his hands and said with a smile, "Miss Qiao, it's exactly as our Prince Ning thinks. You've come out."
As he spoke, he turned around and led the two horses over, stuffing the reins of the snow-white horse into Qiao Liangjin's hands. "Miss Qiao, the journey back to Xuanyuan Kingdom has been arduous, our prince has already prepared rations and silver taels, enough to cover the expenses of Miss Qiao and the rest."
Qiao Liangjin took the reins silently and turned to look at Ning Ying. She asked, "Is it worth it?"
Was it worth it? Was it worth it? Ning Xi's heart suddenly started hurting again. She actually said was it worth it? He smiled gloomily in his heart and said, "No matter what I do to you, I feel that it's worth it."
Qiao Liangjin shook her head and smiled, "Silly, truly stupid. The distinguished Prince of Ning of the Southern Kingdom is also a fool." After he had finished, he mounted his horse and galloped towards the city gate.
Ning Ying took the other horse in the manservant's hand and mounted it as well. Then, they followed Qiao Liangjin towards the city gate.
Along the way, the two walked side by side but said nothing. They arrived at a relay station about fifteen kilometers away.
Qiao Liangjin dismounted from her horse and saw a figure float down from the tree. A man dressed in red spoke in an ear-piercing voice, "I almost thought you were going to stay and become the Imperial Consort of the Southern Kingdom. I nearly went to the palace to congratulate you."
Qiao Liangjin smiled and said: "The Southern Kingdom does not lack imperial concubines, but it does lack a face. I've already registered for you, so you should be able to go."
Hong Chen snorted and tossed her long hair behind her. She glanced at Qiao Liangjin charmingly and said, "I can't be bothered with you. An old lady that I can't marry."
Qiao Liangjin made a face at him, then immediately turned into an indifferent expression. She raised her head and looked at Ning Xian, "Prince Ning, it's time for you to go back. I hope that you can properly support South Li to become king.
The following words were so loud and clear, like nails nailed into the heart of Ning Xi. He lowered his head to look at Qiao Liangjin who was beneath the horse. If she was the sovereign of this world, then she would definitely benefit the common people.
Ning Xi was a little surprised. Why would she think that way? She possessed the ruthlessness and benevolence of the imperial family, but at the same time, there was also benevolence and benevolence. What kind of person was she?
Qiao Liangjin waved her hand and walked into the relay station. She lightly hummed a song as she thought about how surprised and happy those weird people would be when they saw her.
Sure enough, just as she stepped into the inn, a few people who were having their breakfast raised their heads up. The moment they saw Qiao Liangjin, Yusheng screamed and jumped over the table into Qiao Liangjin's arms. He screamed and laughed, "Aiyaya, I thought you were dead. You're finally back."
The little leopard had grown up after not seeing her for a few days. He rubbed his little body against Qiao Liangjin's calf.
Zi Yan quickly came over and smiled, "Young miss, it must have been hard on you. We were all worried, but that palace is not a place we can enter. Look at Lu Li, he got shot and came back empty-handed."
Lu Li, who was standing to the side, held his arm and said with some shame, "Your subordinate failed because his martial arts skills were not good enough."
Qiao Liangjin wanted to check on Lu Li's wounds, but she was stopped by Zi Yan. She said with a smile, "We still have the mortal world. It's all over now."
Qiao Liangjin raised her gaze to the pillar on the second floor that was looking down at him. She smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you, Hong Chen!"
Hong Chen's face reddened slightly. She waved her sleeves and said, "I can't be bothered with you." Then he went into the house.
Qiao Liangjin ate his breakfast and entered the room that Zi Yan had prepared for him. She fell back and fell asleep, and when she woke up again, it was already evening. She ate her dinner, then lay down and slept soundly.
The next morning, Qiao Liangjin opened her eyes in high spirits. She stretched her body and grabbed the little fox in one hand and the leopard in the other. Let's go! "
The group of people quickly left the inn.
Qiao Liangjin did not turn around. She did not know that Ning Xi was standing on a hill not far away from the inn, watching her until her figure completely disappeared from sight.
The manservant at the side looked at Qiao Liangjin's disappearing figure and asked curiously: "Prince, this woman is free to do whatever she wants. What's so good about her?"
Ning Xi lightly smiled and shook her head. That's right, she was arrogant and conceited. She did things her own way, was lustful and liked beautiful men. She didn't seem to have any good points from head to toe, but he just liked her … Emotions were the most difficult things to explain in this world.
On the horse, Ning Xi's face immediately darkened. "From today onwards, the entire city will be on guard. We'll find all spies from the Eastern Kingdom."
Qiao Liangjin did not know how many heads fell to the ground in the Southern Kingdom after she left. She also did not know what she meant when she said that the suffering and suffering of the common people became the motto of the future Emperor of the Southern Kingdom.
After a long journey, Qiao Liangjin even started to like the life on horseback. She started to yearn for the life of a Gold Steel Horse in the West, which immediately met with Lu Li's opposition. He was really afraid that this master was impulsive and that he would have to suffer more in the future if he went to join the army in the disguise of a man.
Before Lu Li could express his opposition, Qiao Liangjin said, "If I can pass myself off as a man …"
Lu Li shouted, "Princess, I beg you to let me go. I beg you to give me a way out."
Qiao Liangjin looked at Lu Li and didn't understand why he was shouting so much. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Lu Li, what is proper with this? What are you shouting for? Could it be that I, as brave and valiant as I am, can't I go out and adventure for a bit? "
Lu Li immediately shut up. He knew that it was best not to talk too much in front of this lady. Otherwise, he would not be able to bear the consequences.
Lu Li shook his head. He forced a smile and said, "Wherever Princess goes, I will go. Up the mountains of blades and down the sea of fire."
Qiao Liangjin looked at Lu Li with satisfaction and praised with a smile, "Good girl."
Qiao Liangjin reined her horse and raised her eyes to look at the barren mountain. She remembered that when they came to the Southern Kingdom, they had not traversed such a barren mountain. Why did a mountain suddenly appear today?
Qiao Liangjin turned her head to ask Hong Chen, "Hong Chen, did we pass through this mountain last time? Why did it seem like such a mountain had suddenly appeared … And I still have a vague feeling of unease in my heart. "
Hearing Qiao Liangjin's question, Red Dust took out a map and looked at it seriously. Shaking her head, he said, "This is the shortcut and can save me one day of time."
Qiao Liangjin's horse kept digging the ground as it moved back and forth uneasily. This caused Qiao Liangjin to feel even more uneasy. After being an assassin for so many years, she knew that such feelings did not appear for no reason.
She simply dismounted and led the horse towards the shade of the tree. They looked at each other and also dismounted, walking together with Qiao Liangjin.
Under the shade of a tree, Qiao Liangjin sat down with her legs crossed. With one hand on her chin, she looked at the barren mountain not far away and said, "We'll stay here tonight. We'll go over again tomorrow."
The little fox rolled away and transformed into the appearance of a little boy. It pulled over the undergarment that Zi Yan gave it and muttered, "The Qiao Liangjin who kills gods and devils in the face of demons, how can she be afraid of a hillside like this?"
Qiao Liangjin narrowed her eyes and looked at Hong Chen, her gaze was filled with the intent of asking.
Red Dust received Qiao Liangjin's gaze and looked towards the barren mountain. He stretched gracefully and smiled, "Fine, good. Since the little fox is so bold, why don't we let it explore the barren mountain at night to see what's going on. How about it?"
He wanted to get Qiao Liangjin to scratch his belly. When he heard Red Dust's words, he was momentarily stunned before jumping up and refusing loudly, "Not doing it, not doing it. On what grounds are you trying to make a child like me take the risk?"
