The Legend of the Medical Concubine

Chapter 413 Assassination

When Qiluo heard about Li Qingqing's forced marriage and knew that Yelu Majiu was the murderer of her father, the flame of revenge in her heart was instantly ignited. She looked at Bai Zixuan and others firmly and said resolutely: "I must pretend to be Qingqing and get close to Yelu Majiu, find an opportunity to kill this thief and avenge my father!"

Bai Zixuan looked at Qiluo, and he admired her courage, but he couldn't help but feel a little worried. He knew that this trip was extremely dangerous. Yelu Majiu was cunning and suspicious. If Qiluo was not careful, her life would be in danger. But he also understood that Qiluo was eager for revenge, and it would be useless to dissuade her at this moment, so he nodded and said, "Miss Qiluo, we understand your determination, but Yelu Majiu is definitely not a good person. You must be very careful on this trip. I have arranged for my subordinate Li Yan to bring people to meet you nearby. If you encounter danger, don't be stubborn, and you must find a way to get away and meet them."

Qi Luo nodded slightly, a trace of gratitude flashing in her eyes: "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Bai. I have already put life and death aside. This time, I will make Yelu Majiu pay with blood."

Li Qingqing came forward and held Qiluo's hand tightly, tears in her eyes: "Sister Qiluo, please be careful on this trip. It's all my fault that you got into trouble. If it wasn't for helping me get out of this predicament, you wouldn't have to take the risk."

Qiluo gently patted Li Qingqing's hand and comforted her, "Sister Qingqing, don't say that. Yelu Majiu is my enemy. Even if this didn't happen, I would settle accounts with him sooner or later. Don't worry, I will return safely."

After that, Qiluo began to dress up carefully with the help of everyone. She was similar in stature to Li Qingqing, and after some disguise, she looked and had a temperament that was 70% similar to Li Qingqing.

After everything was ready, Qiluo headed alone in the direction of Yelu Majiu. Although she was filled with hatred, she also understood that she had to keep her composure and not reveal any flaws.

Soon, Qiluo arrived outside a tent that Yelu Majiu often frequented. The tent was heavily guarded, with Khitan soldiers holding weapons, patrolling back and forth, and watching the surroundings vigilantly.

Qi Luo took a deep breath, pretended to be weak and helpless, and walked towards the tent.

"Stop! Who are you?" A guard soldier saw Qiluo and shouted loudly.

Qi Luo's eyes flashed with panic, and then she said timidly: "I... I am Li Qingqing. Lord Yelu Majiu asked me to come here. He said... he said he would marry me today."

When the guard heard this, he looked Qi Luo up and down, and seeing that she looked exactly like Li Qingqing whom he had heard of before, he smiled and said, "So it's Miss Li. The master has been waiting for you. Come in quickly."

Having said that, he made way for Qiluo to enter the tent.

Qiluo was secretly delighted. She didn't expect that she could get in so easily. She suppressed her excitement and slowly walked into the tent.

Inside the tent, Yelu Majiu was sitting on a tiger-skin bench, surrounded by several attendants. He was dressed in gorgeous Khitan clothing, with a golden crown on his head, and his eyes were filled with arrogance and lust.

When Yelu Majiu saw Qiluo coming in, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He stood up and walked towards Qiluo, saying, "Haha, my beloved Miss Qingqing, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for so long."

Qi Luo felt sick in her heart, but she still forced a smile on her face and said coquettishly, "Sir, you only know how to say sweet words to coax me. I'm here now."

Yelu Majiu burst into laughter when he heard this, and he reached out to hold Qiluo's hand. Qiluo was startled, but she managed not to move away, and let Yelu Majiu hold her hand.

"Come, sit next to me and let me take a good look at you." Yelu Majiu said, and pulled Qiluo to sit on the bench.

Qiluo secretly thought about how to get close to Yelu Majiu and find an opportunity to attack. While she was flirting with Yelu Majiu, she was paying attention to the environment in the tent and the movements of the people around her.

At this time, one of Yelu Majiu's attendants came in and whispered something in his ear. Yelu Majiu's face changed slightly, and then he said to Qiluo: "Miss Qingqing, I have some things to deal with. Please wait here for a while. I will come back to spend the night with you after I finish my business."

Having said that, Yelu Majiu stood up and followed his attendants out of the tent.

Qiluo's heart tightened, not knowing why Yelu Majiu suddenly left, but she knew that this was a good time to explore the tent. So, she pretended to be curious and walked around the tent, looking around casually.

She found a desk on one side of the tent, on which were some letters and files, presumably containing some of Yelu Majiu's secrets. Qiluo's heart moved, and she quietly walked towards the desk.

Just as she was about to reach the desk, she suddenly heard a commotion outside the tent. Qi Luo was startled, thinking that she had been discovered, and quickly hid behind a screen.

Through the gap in the screen, Qiluo saw a group of Khitan soldiers escorting a man into the tent. The man was beaten all over his body and his face was bloody, but Qiluo recognized him at a glance. It was Li Yan, who was arranged by Bai Zixuan to pick her up.

Qiluo secretly thought that something was wrong. She didn't know how Li Yan was caught. She was only worried that he would reveal his identity under torture.

Yelu Majiu also walked in. He looked at the detained Li Yan and said gloomily, "Hmph, tell me! What are you doing sneaking around my tent, a Central Plains person? Are you here to rescue Li Qingqing?"

Li Yan raised his head, spat a mouthful of blood on the ground, and cursed: "Yelü Majiu, you bastard, do you think you can do whatever you want? I won't say anything, you can kill me or chop me up as you like!"

Yelu Majiu was furious when he heard this and said, "You are such a stubborn guy, beat him hard until he speaks!"

The Khitan soldiers received the order and began to beat and kick Li Yan. Although Li Yan was in great pain, he gritted his teeth and did not utter a word.

Qiluo was watching anxiously behind the screen. She knew she couldn't just watch Li Yan being beaten to death, but if she went out and exposed her identity at this moment, not only would she be unable to avenge her father, but she would also implicate more people.

Just when Qi Luo was in a dilemma, suddenly, there was another sound of horse hooves outside the tent. Then, a Khitan soldier ran in and reported: "Sir, it's bad. A group of Central Plains martial artists are coming outside and are rushing towards the tent. It seems that they are here to rescue this Central Plains man."

Yelu Majiu's face changed when he heard this. He shouted to the soldiers, "Keep an eye on this guy first, don't let him get away. The rest of you, follow me out to fight. I want to see how capable these Central Plains people are!"

Having said that, Yelu Majiu rushed out of the tent with a group of soldiers.

Seeing this, Qiluo knew this was a rare opportunity. She walked out from behind the screen, ran to Li Yan, and whispered, "Brother Li, hold on, I'm here to save you."

When Li Yan saw Qiluo, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he said anxiously: "Miss Qiluo, please leave quickly and don't worry about me. It's dangerous here. If you reveal your identity, everything will be over."

Qiluo shook her head and said, "Brother Li, I can't abandon you. Let's go together."

After saying that, Qiluo untied the ropes that bound Li Yan and helped him walk out of the tent.

At this time, a chaotic battle had broken out outside the camp. Bai Zixuan, Su Yiyun and a group of Central Plains martial artists were fiercely fighting with the Khitan soldiers led by Yelu Majiu.

Bai Zixuan performed the "Buddha Light Sword Shadow" sword technique. Golden light flickered on the sword, and sword shadows intertwined. Each sword carried a sharp internal force, and Khitan soldiers fell down wherever it went.

Su Yiyu wielded the "Arhat Divine Fist", swinging his fists like iron hammers. Each punch contained powerful internal force, forcing the Khitan soldiers to retreat again and again.

Yelu Majiu was furious when he saw this. He rushed towards Bai Zixuan with a scimitar in his hand, cursing: "You Central Plains people, how dare you come here to cause trouble? Today is the day you die!"

When Bai Zixuan saw Yelu Majiu rushing towards him, he showed no sign of weakness. He drew his sword and rushed forward to meet him. The two men immediately began fighting.

Qi Luo supported Li Yan and took advantage of the chaos to carefully walk towards the periphery. She knew that as long as they could meet up with the contact person, they would have a chance to escape from here.

Just as Qiluo and Li Yan were about to reach a safe area, suddenly, a Khitan soldier spotted them and shouted, "There's someone running away over there, chase them!"

As he said that, he chased after Qiluo and Li Yan.

Qiluo was shocked. She knew that in her and Li Yan's current condition, they could not outrun this Khitan soldier.

At this critical moment, a figure rushed out from the side like lightning and blocked Qiluo and Li Yan. Qiluo looked carefully and found that it was Li Qingqing.

Li Qingqing held a long sword in his hand and shouted at the Khitan soldier, "Don't even think about hurting them!"

After that, he started fighting with the Khitan soldier. Although Li Qingqing's martial arts were not as strong as Qiluo and others, in order to protect Qiluo and Li Yan, he also used all his strength and fought with the Khitan soldier.

Qiluo was touched and anxious when she saw this. She knew that Li Qingqing's action was too dangerous, but she couldn't get away to help.

At this moment, several more Khitan soldiers rushed over here, and the situation became increasingly unfavorable for Li Qingqing.

The battle between Bai Zixuan and Yelu Majiu also entered a fierce stage. The two of them fought back and forth, using all their skills.

Bai Zixuan knew very well that if he could not defeat Yelu Majiu as soon as possible, not only would Qiluo, Li Yan and others be in danger, but the entire Central Plains martial arts world would also face a greater threat.

So, he seized the opportunity, and after a collision of weapons, Bai Zixuan suddenly used a fatal move. A dazzling golden light shot out from the tip of his sword and pierced Yelu Majiu's vital parts.

Yelu Majiu was unable to dodge and was stabbed by the sword. He flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground, spitting blood and unable to move.

With Yelu Majiu's defeat, the Khitan soldiers suddenly panicked and fled in all directions.

Bai Zixuan and others took the opportunity to quickly evacuate the scene with Qiluo, Li Yan, Li Qingqing and others.

Although the crisis was temporarily resolved, Qiluo was filled with regrets. She knew that she had missed a great opportunity to avenge her father. Although Yelu Majiu was seriously injured, he was still alive.
