Princess Consort With Deadly Destiny

CHAPTER 28 :

The carriage that Xie Qiao was riding had not been arranged by his stepmother. He even had to spend his own money on food and clothes.

This shows how evil her stepmother is.

Now, many people around him felt he had treated Xie Qiao harshly. If his daughter fell ill and tried to make trouble with Xie Qiao again, he would not be able to think clearly once he reached the Imperial City.

So he decided to hold on.

'If Xiao Qiao makes me unhappy, I better take my eyes off.

'Xiao Qiao will feel more comfortable this way.'

At that moment, Zhao Xuanjing had led the people to find a remote and ruined village in the southwest. The village was quite large, and it was not easy to explore it to search for a single object.

But it was also much better than searching blindly like he had done before.

He had everyone search the village thoroughly.

The entire village was covered in weeds that grew wild. Only a few places that are covered in rocks that are used as terrain that can be traversed.

Zhao Xuanjing stared at the scenery of the village and recalled his memories of Master Lu's personality. He put himself in the position of Master Lu. Eventually his intuition led him to the only private house in the village.

However before he was ready to look for her, suddenly several black-clothed men appeared around her.

“Protect Young Master!” The Zhou Imperial Guards and the others were shocked.

In an instant, there was a fight.

Weeds flew everywhere, and blood splattered everywhere. The dim sky was covered by thatch feathers, creating a gloomy mist.

"Desir…"

Several arrows were released, piercing through the mist heading towards him.

Zhao Xuanjing took the sword in his left hand and kicked a man dressed in black. But the next moment, an arrow shot right into his chest. Everyone froze in surprise.

The next moment it seemed clear that the arrow was not piercing through his skin. Everyone seemed to faint when they saw him.

“Sial!” The arrow tore his clothes off but instantly fell to the ground.

Zhao Xuanjing was shocked. Xie Qiao's words flashed through his mind.

'Remember to beware of guns and sparks?

'Is...is it possible that the blessed mirror saved his life?'

Zhao Xuanjing was unharmed. The surrounding guards gathered and quickly counterattacked. A group of people dressed in black had benefited from their surprise attack. But now that they had missed the opportunity, they seemed much more helpless.

Sand and stone fly.

Their swords trembled and clinked at each other.

Qin Zhi faced the three men in black clothes in front of him. It was a difficult situation and he was forced to retreat. He did not realize that there was a dry well behind him. He didn't think too much about it. He just wanted to immediately get rid of some of the villains in front of him. A fierce fight ensued.

His ability is incredible. Although he faced three difficult enemies, he quickly excelled.

But for some reason, his vision suddenly blurred. His hands became heavy and his arms felt limp. He felt as if someone had pinned his arm to the side.

He felt as if someone was pulling the back of his head, and his body suddenly staggered backwards…

"Be careful!" The Zhou Imperial Guards ran over and shouted loudly.

Qin Zhi's vision turned black, and he would fall into the well at any time.

At the most critical moment, he suddenly felt a burning sensation in his chest.

The burning sensation made him regain consciousness the moment he was about to fall. His hand managed to grab a stone protruding from the well wall!

The Zhou Imperial Guards and the others immediately rushed to help him.

After defeating the three black-clothed men, they hurriedly pulled him out of the well. When they saw him again, the man was able to stand up, but his waist had somehow been cut off. His clothes were covered in blood. A very scary sight.

After a while, some men dressed in black lay dead, and others fled.

Qin Zhi was confused.

He's not alone. Everyone saw it, just as confused.

The wound on his waist was spitting out a lot of blood, but it did not reach his important organs. He was not seriously injured as he could still talk to everyone with a pale face.

"Mr Zhou... tell me, is it too late for me to kneel before that half-eternal Xie now?” Qin Zhi felt a tightness in his throat, afraid that his life would soon end.

He even took out the safety talisman that Zhou forced upon him.

'That has turned into ashes?'

"My mother, Qin Zhi, who is in my house is not actually my biological parent.." One of the brothers in arms could not help but mutter.

When Qin Zhi heard that, his face darkened. “Bags, if Half-Eternal could predict everything so accurately, why call him Half-Eternal? We should call him a god. The half-eternal Xie had expected that danger would befall me, yet he did not expect the trouble that would befall my family?”

“You're still stubborn. Look here, he just saved your life.” The Zhou Imperial Guards shook their heads.

Then he headed to check the well, while pointing down. "Look at yourself."

Qin Zhi stuck out his neck.

At first glance, the temple pulsates.

Gosh darn.

It's a dry well. It's not too deep. The bottom was covered in porridge and weeds. Above ground, there was an abandoned animal trap!

Although the trap was already broken, a pair of razor-sharp blades loomed towards the sky. If he falls into a well and his head lands there…

Blood will be spilled everywhere. It will be an instant death.

“It's a good thing you have quick reflexes, brother.” Someone patted his shoulder. “You just passed death.”

“I... was burned by the amulet. It made me regain consciousness.” Qin Zhi's mouth is dry. "really. You know my skills well too. I am more than qualified to take care of all three. But somehow, since then, I feel bad. Like someone choking me..”.

When he said this, his brothers who were hugging around him ran backwards.

They avoid it as much as possible.

“You're outrageous. I almost died!" Qin Zhi said sadly.

“No, your words sound creepy. You should not have anything impure on yourself.

“You yourself said that it was evil. How can you blame us for thinking like this? We give you a huge benefit of doubt here. ”

“Qin Zhi.” The face of the Zhou Imperial Guards became stiff. “The immortal said that there are some big problems with you. We need to eradicate this problem to its roots. Otherwise... problems will eventually come.”

As he said this, everyone took a step back.

There's a big problem. Does that mean he's dead?

“Zhou... Zhou, don't scare me.” Qin Zhi's face was green.

The Zhou Imperial Guards snorted. “Xie the demigod has departed for the imperial city. Later.. when it is finished, let's take a walk to the Water Moon Temple. The Grand Immortal Master can definitely solve your problem!”

Qin Zhi's eyes shone upon hearing this.

He's saved!

"That's great. Let's go look for it first. It will be difficult to search when it is dark.”

With the comments of the Zhou Imperial Guards, everyone went back to work.

Zhao Xuanjing entered his private room. After a thorough search, there were indeed stone tiles. Below him, he found a square box.

His face looks troubled.

Now that he had found it, Zhao Xuanjing gathered his men and left immediately.

Xie Qiao did not know that his gift had saved someone. Even if he did, he wouldn't think too much about it.

Services in exchange for payment, goods are sent, and transactions are closed. Whatever happens next is none of his business.

The closer he got to the imperial city, Xie Qiao became calmer.

He only talked to Da Xiong every day, not even caring about the existence of Madam Lu's mother-daughter duo.

Madam Lu's entourage was in a hurry, and they didn't seem to stop. Xie Qiao also followed after him. Secretly, he slipped an additional amount of silver into his coachman for their hard work.

The usual way to the imperial city usually took at least a month and a half journey. However, they had been tracking him for a month.

When they reached the city gate, they sent messengers to the Xie family first.

That way, when they got home, the entire house was ready to welcome their arrival.

On the rare occasion when Xie Qiao was gathering energy, he no longer looked sickly.

He has been leaving home for years. It was no fun to worry the family as soon as he walked home.

Xie Niushan was just a lowly fourth-grade general. He bought the house himself. It was also surrounded by the homes of other low-ranking generals.

“Nona, they've stopped in front. We should have arrived.”
