C78 (1/2)
Hearing Merlin's words from the bottom of his heart, Qi Wanxian said with a sincere face, ”Don't worry, sister! Your family members … I will think of a way to save them from you! ”
Merlin was moved to kneel on the ground again, ”Merlin will never forget big sister's great kindness! If there is a chance in this life, I will definitely do my best to help big sister! ”
Qi Wanjun supported Merlin, who was kneeling on the ground, with a smile on his face.
”...”
”Please take a step back, sister!” Merlin nodded in understanding and took two steps back.
Qi Ning immediately took out the flexible sword from her waist, and her sharp eyes shot towards Merlin. The sharp flexible sword hacked towards Merlin, and just as a strand of hair was about to hit the ground, it was caught by Qi Ning. She smiled mischievously: ”You have scared my sister! However, this matter still requires me to borrow a strand of my sister's hair and a treasure from her! ” Qi Wanshi looked at the helpless and pitiful Merlin as he spoke gently.
”En!” Merlin smiled as he nodded his head. At the same time, he pulled out an exquisite jade key made from top-class and Tian Yu's jade key. He slowly picked up Qi Shu's small hand and placed it on top of the key. This is the jade key that the crown prince made for me back in the day. I once promised him that as long as I am alive, I will always wear it! ”
Merlin's other meaning was that if he handed the key to his sister, it meant that she was already dead. There was a hint of sadness in her words, and from her eyes, he could see the helplessness of the past. But unfortunately, she followed the wrong person.
Qi Wan County took the jade key and nodded, then tightly held it in his hand. However, he used a sharp gaze to look at Yu Lingjing. The corner of his mouth slanted as he smiled slyly, ”Your humble concubine still needs to trouble Your Highness with one thing!”
Seeing his wife's expression, Yu Lingjing knew that she must have a plan in mind. He said calmly, ”Please speak, my wife!”
”Sorry for troubling you, Your Highness, to post a report and issue a public announcement …” The corner of Qi Lang's mouth curved as he thoughtfully spoke. However, a cold light shot out from the corner of his eyes, making people's hair stand on end when they saw it.
The next morning, there were reports pasted all over the streets and alleyways. People were all talking about it.
In a small teahouse on a street south of the city, a man wearing a white robe flashed by. The cold aura exuded from his body made it hard for people to avoid him.
A few idlers were sitting in the middle of the first floor of the teahouse, drinking tea and discussing the notice issued by the Regent's Manor today.
”Eh? Have you heard? The valiant and invincible War God, the Lord Regent of the Southern Prefecture of the Hao Yue Empire, actually had a spy? ” A man in a grey robe asked as he took a sip of tea. He placed the cup on the table and placed one leg on the chair he was sitting on. The others nodded in agreement.
She is courting death!” Who is our Regent? The entire Hao Yue Empire was even more beautiful than Pan An. It was as if they were exiled from the heavens, and their martial arts were peerless. They were a cold and aloof king! Was he someone who had been through the battlefield for a long time and had climbed out from the countless piles of corpses? Even the current emperor was a bit fearful of him, yet he actually dared to lay his hands on such a reckless spy? That was no different from playing with a big knife in front of the King of Hell and a spear in front of Guan Gong. ”Hee hee …” ”The speaker was a super fan of the regent, Yu Lingjing, who was dressed in blue.
A handsome man in a white robe sat at a table to the side, drinking tea slowly. He listened to the discussions of these people with a calm expression, making it hard to tell if he was happy or worried. However, the cold air that was being emitted from the entire body of such a person made one retreat three steps and not dare to approach him. Especially the three foot long bronze sword on his left, just looking at the blade itself was enough to tell that it was extremely valuable, and for someone to be able to use such a priceless treasure sword, he was most likely not an ordinary person.
”I heard that that person died too miserably. It seems like he was executed with great difficulty? Stain... It's simply too horrible to look at, it's completely unrecognizable! ” A man wearing brown clothes and a hat of the same color said with a sneer on his face. It was as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
”That's not right!” I heard that the spy was poisoned. That spy was supposed to poison the Regent's Consort, but the Regent's Consort found out in the end. Seeing that he had nowhere else to go, the spy took the poison and committed suicide! ” It was a man dressed like a scholar, speaking clearly and clearly.
”I heard that the spy was an extremely beautiful woman. She was so beautiful that she could topple nations. Sigh …” ”What a pity …” The man in light blue clothes shook his head as he spoke, his tone seemingly sympathetic towards the spy.
”I see you?” You haven't seen a woman, have you? He actually pitied such a heartless woman? You probably don't even know how you died? ” A man with white hair and beard, who was sitting next to a light blue shirt, said while laughing.
”Haven't you heard of the peony flower dying? Do you even know how to be a ghost? ” When Lan Yi said this, the people beside her all burst out into laughter.
Due to the interest of these idle people, the small teahouse's business became even more popular. It was bustling like a market.
The white-robed man sitting next to another table held the hairpin that Merlin had left behind tightly in his hand. A bloodthirsty light shot out from his cold eyes, giving off the feeling that he could explode at any moment. This cold and handsome man, was Han Yi.
