Chapter 377 Sharing weal and woe
After Yu Qingli and the others divided their tasks, they each headed towards their destination.
Let's talk about the Persian prince and Xiluo. Not long after they got on the carriage, Xiluo heard a sharp sound breaking through the air. Her killer instinct over the years made her sense the danger. She reached out and pulled the Persian prince aside. Then, the sharp arrow pierced through the curtain of the carriage and shot into the car.
Xiluo thought to himself that something was wrong, and then countless sharp arrows flew towards them. Xiluo finally understood that the Prince of Persia was being targeted by someone.
"You, follow me!" Xiluo shouted at the Persian prince.
Prince Alai obviously realized the seriousness of the situation, and his expression became serious, but only for a moment. He then screamed loudly: "Help! Murder!"
Xiluo widened his eyes in annoyance. This idiot, is he afraid that those who come to assassinate him don’t know that he is not dead yet?
Xiluo immediately rolled her eyes at Prince Alai, then pressed his mute point without hesitation. Looking at his slightly aggrieved look, Xiluo gave him a warning look.
The rain of arrows just now seemed to be just a test, but judging from the number, there should be quite a few people coming, but we don’t know how good their martial arts skills are yet.
Prince Alai gestured to Xiluo to untie his acupuncture points, but Xiluo ignored him and pulled out a dagger from his leg. He turned to Prince Alai and said, "Listen, you, stay here and wait for help. I'll lead them away!"
After Xiluo finished speaking, she didn't wait for his consent and directly pressed his acupoints, took off his coat and put it on herself, then hid him in the corner of the carriage. Fortunately, there was a small square table in the carriage. Xiluo stood it up and blocked Prince Alai in front of him.
Prince Alai looked at the woman in front of him with complicated eyes. It seemed that he had thousands of words to say to her, but he couldn't say a single word. He was extremely anxious.
Xiluo turned her head to look at him and gave him a comforting smile, "Prince Alai, remember, you must protect yourself well. The young lady and the prince should be here to rescue you soon!"
After saying this, Xiluo rushed out without hesitation and deliberately shouted loudly: "Your Highness, you can't go alone, please take me with you!"
Besides, the assassins surrounding the carriage only saw one figure rushing out. Because the other party was too fast, they could not see the man's face clearly. But after hearing Xiluo's words, they naturally thought that the person who escaped should be Prince Alai, so everyone chased in the direction of Xiluo.
There were already traces of tears in Prince Alai's green eyes in the carriage.
All he heard was the clatter of footsteps and someone shouting, "He's injured, he can't get far. Chase him! It says, if he's dead, we must see him alive!"
Xiluo successfully led the killers away, but because she forced her way out of the carriage, she suffered several arrow wounds, with her left shoulder and right leg being the most serious, and the rest were just scratches.
Xiluo knew that she had to delay time. The longer the time was delayed, the safer Prince Alai would be.
Prince Alai was extremely anxious. Only after he was sure that no one was around the carriage did he break through the acupuncture points and walk out of the carriage. His already handsome face was now filled with coldness. He clasped his right hand over his heart and said seriously in Persian: "God, I, Alai, swear here that if I can escape this disaster, I will not marry anyone other than Xiluo!"
At this time, Prince Alai was very regretful and worried. He didn't know what Xiluo's current condition was. From the tone of those people, Xiluo was injured. He must find her as soon as possible!
The innocence and childishness on Prince Ale's face had completely disappeared. At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind, which was to teach those who had hurt him a lesson. The most important thing was that they actually dared to hurt the woman he loved!
Prince Alai followed the bloodstains on the ground. He didn't know how much of the bloodstains were left by Xiluo. In his mind, only one voice shouted, "Find Xiluo! I must find her!"
When Changkong arrived, he was shocked by the scene in front of him. The huge jungle was littered with corpses. The most terrifying thing was that these people looked like they were torn apart alive and died very miserably. Among the corpses, Prince Alai was like a bloody man, his whole body was blood red, only his golden hair was flying in the wind, and his green eyes were full of hatred, like an angry beast.
There were obvious changes in his finger joints, and his nails were longer and sharper than usual. It was probably because his bones had changed that his fingers had become deadly weapons. Even someone like Changkong couldn't help but feel horrified when he saw such a scene.
If Changkong had not seen it with his own eyes, he would hardly believe that the person in front of him was the Persian prince who looked stupid, naive and had no killing power.
Not far from him, Xiluo was lying there covered in blood, with an arrow hit on his shoulder and leg. It seemed that he had fainted from excessive blood loss. Changkong tried to move forward, but was blocked by Prince Alai. He seemed to have lost his mind and was bloodthirsty, and could not tell whether the person in front of him was an enemy or a friend.
Changkong didn't want to fight him head-on. Although he might not lose if they really fought, the most important thing now was to bring them back. So Changkong shouted loudly: "Do you want to see Xiluo die?"
It was not known whether it was the content of the conversation or the internal force Changkong had added to it that had worked, but Prince Alai finally came to his senses. He squatted down and hugged Xiluo, looking at Changkong like a pitiful child, "Save her! Please!"
Changkong was very glad that he came here on horseback. He took the two of them on horseback and ran towards the place where the signal was burning in the sky. It seemed that his master had found the prince and others before him, and had even reunited with Yu Qingli.
The situation became much easier next. The assassination of the Prince of Persia was a serious matter, and the Commandery immediately sent people to assist Yu Qingli. However, it seemed that the Prince's side was the same as Murong Yan's return to their side. Apart from the initial attack that caused their carriages to go their separate ways, there was no assassin continuing to pursue them.
It seems that the other party's target is indeed the Prince of Persia. Yu Qingli and Murong Yanhui both understand who is the mastermind behind this, but the people who came are all death warriors, and no one is left alive. There is no evidence at all.
This matter could only come to a temporary end. Xiluo was quickly sent to the palace for treatment. The Crown Princess also had a miscarriage due to the shock and bumps. Only then did Yu Qingli realize that the Crown Princess was pregnant and not sick.
I think Murong Cheng wanted to hide this matter before. After all, the situation in the harem is very complicated. If someone knew that Liu Caiyi was pregnant, I don’t know whether the child could be saved. But after such a commotion, I’m afraid it will be impossible to hide it.
Prince Ale had changed from his usual cheerful appearance, like a different person, and became more and more like Prince Ashura. After hearing the news, Prince Ashura just paused for a moment and then went on with his business, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
Changkong only told Murong Yanhui and Yu Qingli about the situation at that time, so the others did not know that the assassins were killed by Prince Alai.
In Anle Hall, Yu Qingli and Murong Yanhui stood opposite each other, both of them with very serious expressions.
"It was me who harmed them." Yu Qingli suddenly spoke, with a hint of regret and resentment in her tone.
"Lili, this matter has nothing to do with you. Even if you don't leave the palace today, they will find other ways to deal with Prince Alai. Besides, this matter may not be over yet!"
Yu Qingli nodded. She also had the same feeling. If the assassination attempt failed this time, the other party might plan a more terrifying conspiracy.
Thinking of this, Yu Qingli frowned. This situation was really unexpected, but what Changkong said also surprised her. Although she thought that Prince Alai's innocent and cheerful personality might be pretended, the result still surprised them.
He could fight against so many killers with his bare hands, and use his fingers as sharp blades to tear people in half alive. He was just like the legendary murderous demon. It seemed that Prince Ale was much more powerful than they had imagined.
In the side hall of Anle Palace, imperial doctors came and went, carrying out basins of blood, which shocked the people waiting outside.
Prince Alai stood blankly at the door, muttering to himself, but no one knew what he was saying. Yu Qingli was also very anxious. If Xiluo passed away like this, she would never forgive herself.
"Lili, don't worry, Xiluo will definitely wake up."
Yu Qingli nodded slightly. She hoped so. Since Xiluo followed her, she had almost become her right-hand man. She had long regarded her as her own relative. But now, Xiluo was lying there, her life or death uncertain, and she could do nothing. Even if she knew the mastermind behind it, she could not avenge her.
Thinking of this, Yu Qingli became more and more angry, and somewhere she didn't know, Murong Feng was meeting with the Persian beauty.
"Your Highness, this is truly a pity. However, this also shows that your Highness's arrangements were not perfect. Since you know that the other party has experts to help, you should have sent more experts."
Murong Feng snorted coldly, "Even if it fails, it's because your information is wrong. Your Highness has never heard of any masters around Prince Alai who can tear people apart directly."
"It's true that our information was wrong, but the Prince didn't blame Your Highness for this matter. However, if you can't hit the target on the first try, it will be even more difficult to take action in the future."
