CHAPTER 68 - Whose life was it?
"Is that so? I think today's assassins are here for you. " Mu Qiu Shui did not believe that Xi Jiu Er was living a good life in the Xi Family. He could see that even the Xi Family was crowding out Xi Jiu Er.
"Is that so? However, I felt that they were coming for you. When I thought back to the arrows on your back, they didn't seem like the type of crossbows that the murderers and robbers would normally have. I believe that Your Highness should know where those crossbows came from very well. " Outsiders believed that Mu Qiu Shui was the playboy king but she did not believe it. Mu Qiu Shui had obviously taken someone's hint to hide her true personality, so other than the current zodiac, she could not think of anyone else.
"You're quite intelligent. Not bad, that crossbow has some history. I'm not the only one …" Mu Qiu Shui looked at Xi Jiu Er appreciatively: "But it might not be against me, maybe First Lady Xi has sent people to kill you, but it might not be so."
"Anything is possible." Xi Jiu Er concluded, then nodded her head: "I will do some research on it. It's getting late, you stay here on the rock for the night, I'll sit by the door to guard it." After saying that, she sat cross-legged at the door as if she was resting with her eyes closed.
"You …" The fire would crackle from time to time, and was very cold on the rocks. Even though there was a layer of dry grass on the rocks, it was still very cold. While Xi Jiu Er was worrying about the safety of ex-sister-in-law and the others, she gradually fell into a deep sleep.
Mu Qiu Shui, who had been closing his eyes and resting at the door, slowly opened them. Not a single bit of sleepiness could be seen in his eyes as he looked deeply at Xi Jiu Er. He got up from the cave entrance, took out something and pulled at the other end. Mu Qiu Shui looked at the moonlight above him, who exactly was he killing this time? Was it himself or Xi Jiu Er? Both of them could talk about the past...
Mu Qiu Shui also found some firewood and added fuel to the fire. There was water in the cave, and the wind was strong. Who knows, she might get sick … As he thought about it, Xi Jiu Er couldn't help but look. The little girl didn't seem to be very safe.
"Cold …" When Mu Qiu Shui heard Xi Jiu Er say this, he didn't think too much and went up to lie with her in his embrace. The person in his embrace seemed to have found a way to rely on him and burrowed into his embrace like a little dog. Mu Qiu Shui's heart had already melted into a puddle of water.
Sleep gradually came, and Mu Qiu Shui hugged Xi Jiu Er as he fell into a deep sleep. In Xi Mansion's room under the same night sky, the Wang Ma said in a soft voice, "Madame, you have already confirmed that you have fallen off a cliff."
"Hmm, there aren't any marks on the first floor, right?" It was not the first time she did this, and she was already numb to it. However, it was different this time, she did not expect Prince Xian to be here, and both of them fell off the cliff. If this matter got out of hand, it would be a great crime that would affect all nine clans.
"Madame, they said that once they get the silver, they will leave. They will never appear again."
Is that so? First Lady only hoped that none of this would be discovered, and both Xi Jiu Er and Prince Xian should die quickly! This way, aside from having a big problem in her heart … After instructing the Wang Ma to prepare the box and give it to him, the Phoebe would pass it over to them and tell them to hurry up and leave so that they wouldn't need to come back.
"Yes." The Wang Ma nodded.
First Lady tiredly laid back on the bed. Not long after, he dreamt that not only would Xi Jiu Er find him and find him to take his life, he would also want to exterminate his entire clan. Wan Rong, Wan Feng and Xi Mao all cried and begged for mercy, asking to be blamed together.
When the servant saw her expression, she knew that she was having a nightmare and had even treated her with care. After drinking some water to moisten her lips, First Lady's expression relaxed a little, and after lying down again, she gradually fell asleep.
The next morning, Xi Jiu Er smelled the smell of barbecue, and it was extremely fragrant. She opened her eyes and saw Mu Qiu Shui holding the barbecue, with a shape of a pheasant, she did not know if it was true.
"You're up? Sit down and eat. " Mu Qiu Shui indicated for Xi Jiu Er to sit, tore off a chicken leg and gave it to Xi Jiu Er. Xi Jiu Er carefully took it. After blowing on it for a while, she slowly started to eat. Although there was no taste, it was already pretty good to eat like this.
"It smells so good, your grilled meat tastes so good." Xi Jiu Er praised from the bottom of her heart.
Mu Qiu Shui grinned and started to eat as well. After finishing, he got Mu Qiu Shui to give him a pair of wings and eat happily, his mouth full of oil. He did not look like a lady at all, but the smile on Mu Qiu Shui's face became bigger and bigger.
After eating and resting for a while, Mu Qiu Shui brought along the dagger in his boots and headed towards the forest. There were too many forest serpents and ferocious beasts. He repeatedly told Xi Jiu Er to follow him and not to touch anything carelessly, just like last night's incident with the 'Sweet Wei Grass', he did not want it to happen again.
All around them, in the forest and trees, weird sounds randomly sounded out. No one knew what kind of animal it was, but all kinds of snakes could be seen on the vines. Xi Jiu Er's face was pale white as she followed closely behind Mu Qiu Shui, not daring to relax in the slightest.
Fortunately, they had not encountered any danger during this period of time. Looking at the sun in the sky, Xi Jiu Er asked, "When will we be able to leave?"
"I don't know …" Mu Qiu Shui said indifferently: "I already sent a signal last night, I hope that they can find us as soon as possible!"
"So it's like that …" Xi Jiu Er looked at the trees in front of him. Other than them, there were only trees. After the two of them rested for a while, they started to move again. Xi Jiu Er was still a noble Miss, so they gradually could not move anymore. Mu Qiu Shui, who was in front of them, said, "Do you want me to carry you?"
"No need." Xi Jiu Er took out the small porcelain bottle and drank some spring water. After recovering a little, she passed it to Mu Qiu Shui and said: "Drink some too.
Mu Qiu Shui gave Xi Jiu Er a strange look before stepping forward and drinking the porcelain bottle in his hand. Then, he returned the bottle to Xi Jiu Er. Only then did Xi Jiu Er realized that did they realize that they had not … Is it a kiss... She secretly hated Mu Qiu Shui, the hypocrite, for not telling her.
"Let's go. There's no need to fuss about it at this time …" Looking at the angry Xi Jiu Er, Mu Qiu Shui hurriedly found an excuse, hoping that Xi Jiu Er would not play with her temper at this time, regardless of whether the other party's temper was female or not, if the female got angry …
"Alright, let's go." Xi Jiu Er curled her lips: "Look at how scared you are, I won't eat you again." I was afraid that you would cause trouble at this time, Mu Qiu Shui thought.
"Your Highness …" "Prince …" It was unknown which direction the sound came from, but when they heard the voice of someone calling 'Duke' from far away, both Xi Jiu Er and Mu Qiu Shui looked at each other with a trace of happiness in their eyes. Just as Mu Qiu Shui was about to reply, he was stopped by Xi Jiu Er and said softly, "What if it's someone who came to kill you? Let's see if this person is trustworthy. "
Mu Qiu Shui thought so, what if they were here for him? Even if it was a prince, he might just stab you in the back! There would be a sound again.
"Prince …"
"Miss... Miss, where are you?! "
"Miss, Miss... "Sob, sob …"
This was the voice of Shui Xian, ex-sister-in-law and the rest. The two of them could finally relax now, Xi Jiu Er and Mu Qiu Shui shouted, "We are here, we are here …"
"Miss, where are you? Where is it? " Liu Xiang's urgent voice seemed to be on the verge of tears, "Wuu, I heard Miss's voice …."
"Cry, cry, you only know how to cry!" Hearing you say that it's fine is a good thing, prove that your Miss is not dead. " When Shui Xian said the word "die", he was gnashing his teeth in anger. This stinking woman's life was really big, the heavens really didn't have eyes for her even though she was still alive. Hmph, it was definitely the prince who saved her. I wonder how the prince is doing?
"We have to find a way to let them know we're here." Xi Jiu Er asked: "Do you have any ideas?"
"We can build a fire and smoke it. That'll attract them." Mu Qiu Shui suddenly thought of a method that immediately garnered Xi Jiu Er's approval!
Look, it's Yan Yan in front, Miss is definitely there! Ouch, what are you doing! " Liu Xiang's dissatisfied voice could be heard from afar: "You don't have eyes."
"Humph!" Shui Xian only snorted coldly …
Shui Xian was the first one to find them, hence Shui Xian went forward happily: "This is great, it seems that Your Highness is fine. I was afraid something might happen to you if you were implicated. "
In the end, Shui Xian did not even glance at Xi Jiu Er, since she was not related to him at all. Her enmity towards him made Xi Jiu Er feel funny, as and her did not have anything to do with each other, but Mu Qiu Shui was the one who was bored and came to play with him.
"Miss …" Being supported by ex-sister-in-law and Liu Shui, Liu Xiang limped over. The three of them were very excited, so Xi Jiu Er immediately went forward to support Liu Xiang and asked in concern: "Liu Xiang, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, I was in too much of a hurry, I accidentally twisted my ankle …" Miss, I am so happy to see that you are alright. Don't you know that I, ex-sister-in-law, and Liu Shui can't sleep at night when you and I are jumping off a cliff? I was just afraid that something might happen to you … " The more Liu Xiang spoke, the darker his face became. She immediately interrupted him and said, "Fortunately, you are safe and sound in Miss.
"Buddha bless? Why didn't you thank the prince? If it weren't for the fact that the Miss in your family had already died hundreds of times, why are you still thanking the Buddha! "Humph!" Shui Xian was very happy that Mu Qiu Shui was safe and sound, and was also unhappy that Xi Jiu Er was safe and sound. After all, they had to disfigure his face, even if they did not disfigure his face, they would at least lose an arm and a leg! Now that she heard the ex-sister-in-law say something about Xie Puti being blessed by the heavens, she got angry.
