Chapter 552 The Villainous Female Supporting Character Who Impersonated the Tyrant's Savior 7
"The sky!"
"Your subordinate is here!" A dark figure landed by the hot spring and knelt on one knee.
"Did I notice anything unusual just now?" Jun Ze asked as he emerged from the water, adjusting his clothes.
The sky paused, something was amiss?
The only unusual thing is that His Majesty and Prime Minister Xia are in the water, and Prime Minister Xia seems to be on top...
He didn't even dare to look.
Is His Majesty testing him?
Cang Qiong broke out in a cold sweat.
This is a royal secret; His Majesty's fondness for male homosexuality is something that His Majesty certainly cannot let any third party know.
Oh no, I feel like his time is almost up.
How could he be so unlucky...?
He's not married yet!
Cang Qiong gritted his teeth slightly, then knelt down with a thud and shouted loudly,
"Your Majesty, I had to urinate and left for a moment. I have neglected my duty, please punish me!"
Now we can only pretend we didn't see anything.
Junze's face immediately darkened. "Urgent need to urinate? You've been with me for so many years, have you forgotten what the third requirement for the secret guards is?"
"Go down and receive your punishment!"
"Yes!" Cang Qiong wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"and many more."
Junze called out to him, his long, sharp eyes fixed on the direction Xia Xizhi had left, a flicker of something in them.
"You go and send someone to Tiger Village to investigate Xia Xizhi. I want everything, big or small, including his daily habits."
Cang Qiong paused for a moment, then said, "Yes!"
.......
The bandit mountain was quiet in the dead of night, with only the occasional howl of wolves and the sound of patrolling guards.
In a small room, the latch on the side window moved slightly, and then a figure nimbly flipped and rolled into the room.
Dressed entirely in black except for his dark eyes, Meng Zixu glanced at Xia Xizhi, who was fast asleep on the bed, and sneered.
He was careless last time.
Thinking that this scoundrel didn't know martial arts and made no attempt to conceal his aura, he was discovered in advance.
This time, he's determined to kill that scoundrel!
Meng Zixu's eyes flashed with extreme ruthlessness as he thrust his sword straight at Xia Xizhi's heart.
Xia Xizhi suddenly opened his eyes, narrowed them slightly, and kicked the sword out of Meng Zixu's hand.
She didn't sleep at all.
She had guessed that someone would try to assassinate her on this opportune moment.
This unexpected and preemptive kick gave her the upper hand instantly. After kicking the sword out of Meng Zixu's hand, she suddenly stood up, pounced, and plunged the poisoned dagger in her hand straight into Meng Zixu's eye.
Unfortunately, her opponent was no ordinary expert either. After dodging to the limit, he used his strength and height advantage to grab her wrist and stab her back at her after a few moves.
Her body was too weak, and after a few moves, Xia Xizhi's forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat. When Meng Zixu grabbed her wrist and stabbed her back, she gritted her teeth and turned her head, the dagger grazing her face before piercing the window frame with a clang.
Abandoning the dagger, Xia Xizhi delivered an elbow strike, then stepped on Meng Zixu, using the momentum to climb onto the windowsill. From his elevated position, he delivered a flying kick, striking Meng Zixu squarely in the face.
Meng Zixu's expression changed, and he grabbed her other leg, forcefully pulling her off the windowsill. Xia Xizhi turned around and kicked him on the head, pinning him to the ground.
Neither of them had any weapons left, so they wrestled with each other bare-handed.
Meng Zixu had the advantage in physical strength. In a fight with his bare hands, Xia Xizhi quickly ran out of energy and was pinned down by him.
Meng Zixu's veins bulged as he gripped Xia Xizhi's neck tightly, tightening his grip as he forced out a few words through gritted teeth.
"He does have some skill."
"Too bad you've run into me. Today is your death day..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xia Xizhi suddenly stood up and bit his face.
?
Meng Zixu was startled by the incomprehensible behavior, which made him instinctively flinch and pause for a moment.
In that instant of relaxation, Xia Xizhi seized the opportunity, kicking him hard in the lower abdomen and then slamming him into the face, knocking him to the ground.
With a swift movement, she flipped over and pinned him beneath her.
The tide turned, and Meng Zixu was suppressed.
"Today may not be my death day, but yours!"
Xia Xizhi sneered, grabbed the candlestick next to him, and smashed it over his head.
The sensation of his egg breaking made Meng Zixu gasp, and cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.
You're asking for it!
Meng Zixu gritted his teeth and grabbed the candlestick, while Xia Xizhi tried his best to snatch it back.
The two then engaged in a tug-of-war without any skill, relying entirely on brute force.
Xia Xizhi gradually exhausted his strength and began to pant slightly.
No, she definitely won't be able to win if this continues. We need to think of another way.
"Young hero, let's stop for a moment. Who are you? Why do you want to kill me? Who is your employer? How much did they pay you? I'll pay double. How about this, we'll all let go at the same time, and then we can sit down and talk..."
As soon as she let go, she grabbed the dagger beside her and stabbed him to death...
Moonlight streamed through the window, illuminating Xia Xizhi's flushed face.
Xia Xizhi's pajamas were loose, revealing half of her beautiful shoulder and collarbone. Her long, smooth, black hair was draped over her shoulders.
Lying on the ground, Meng Zixu's fierce eyes changed slightly, and he paused.
Xia Gouzei, is he really a man...?
dong dong dong.
"Lord Xia? I heard a noise coming from your room. Are you asleep?"
The patrolling guards heard the noise and knocked on the door to inquire.
"Help! There's an assassin!" Xia Xizhi shouted.
How could she forget to call for help? The guards patrolling outside are all Imperial Guards.
"Quickly, someone come here! There's an assassin!" Upon hearing this, the guards immediately shouted for help and kicked the door open to rush inside.
Meng Zixu's eyes narrowed, and he abandoned the opportunity to assassinate Meng Zixu, climbing out of the window and disappearing into the night.
.......
the next day.
After suppressing the bandits, the army returned to Beijing.
Junze asked Xia Xizhi to ride in the carriage with him.
As Xia Xizhi got into the car, Junze put down the book in his hand, seemingly casually glancing at her shoulders, neck, and chest, his gaze lingering on her face.
"I have learned from the commander of the Imperial Guards about your attempted assassination last night. Were you injured?"
"I suffered a minor injury, nothing serious."
Junze hummed in agreement and handed her a delicate porcelain bottle.
"This, is this a bottle of wound medicine worth a thousand gold pieces? How could I possibly accept such a precious ointment..." Xia Xizhi feigned reluctance.
“You were assassinated while fighting bandits with me. I would rather you be healthy than receive any wound medicine.”
Junze placed the ointment on the small table in front of her.
"Apply the medicine right here in my carriage."
