The Choice Queen's

TCQ 48: Insanity

Li Fengran saw an assassin was about to attack Nangong Zirui from the opposite direction, from the gap created when the man was busy serving the other assassins. His rescue instinct rang and he suddenly jumped.

Li Fengran closed his eyes, imagining all the worst possibilities if the assassin did not hold back his sword and pierced his body.

Is it time to die again?

Just when the murderous sword was about to stab Li Fengran, Nangong Zirui withdrew his hand and pushed it away. With a flash of movement, the man slashed the vein on the killer's neck.

The moment Li Fengran opened his eyes again, blood suddenly splashed on his face and the assassin sprawled while holding his bloody neck.

“Xiao Feng are you crazy? You think you have nine lives?”

Nangong Zirui involuntarily raised his voice. The face that had been calm while dealing with the killer now turned furious, his forehead even wrinkled and his eyes flashed sharply.

He really did not expect Li Fengran to recklessly throw himself to block the attack. If it was too late just a little, his life could have been lost!

Li Fengran even flintered. His eyes were empty. He also did not know why he was that brave, even though his life was only one.

Before being able to answer, Li Fengran's head suddenly dizzy and he instantly fainted. Nangong Zirui caught him, then carried him.

“Solve this mess. Give the owner of the inn compensation and do not let him lose,”, Nangong Zirui told the guards. The killer had already been successfully incapacitated, now all that was left was the remnants of the chaos.

“Good, Your Highness.”

Nangong Zirui rode on a horse, then darted out of the inn with Li Fengran. Horse legs ran like lightning, down the cobbled and steep road. The blood stain slowly dried, but the smell remained stinging. The appearance of the two people was so chaotic.

The man's horse darted towards the mountain area inhabited by Chen Ping and the villagers. In addition to the village on the mountain, other residential areas are still very far away. When Nangong Zirui reached the gate, he directly descended from the horse and carried Li Fengran then dashed towards the countryside.

One of the residents who recognized him immediately approached.

“Your Majesty the King? What happened?”

“Prepare a place and find someone who understands treatment!”

Then, in an instant the village became boisterous. Chen Ping who had just returned home hunting immediately approached the place where Nangong Zirui and Li Fengran were.

He was shocked to see the King's chaotic appearance with blood splotches on his shirt and face. Meanwhile, Li Fengran was laid on a bed.

“How?” nangong Zirui asked the residents who were inspecting Li Fengran.

“Your Majesty, Miss is just surprised. Some time will be aware.”

“Good. You can go,” said Nangong Zirui.

The residents left. Chen Ping immediately rushed up to the two people. Just two days ago they parted well at the village gate, now the King and the Sword Bearer are back in a state of chaos. Looking at the blood spots on the King's clothes and face, Chen Ping guessed there had been a fight on the way.

“Your Majesty, have you guys been attacked by a killer?” tanyakanya.

“Not attacked, more precisely ambushed.”

“Did His Majesty get hurt?”

“No. My army managed to knock them out.”

“Then what happened to the Sword Stakeholder?”

“He blocked the sword using his body. Fortunately I immediately pushed him away.”

“My Sword has always been that brave.”

“That's not the name dare, but search die.”

Chen Ping smiled for a moment. Well, the Sword Bearer did. His actions are always beyond reason and unpredictable. No wonder the King was so worried, because this Sword Stakeholder always threw himself into danger.

“Your Majesty, does Your Majesty want to change clothes? I will ask some women to change the Sword Stakeholder's clothes and keep it here,” Chen Ping bargained. It was uncomfortable to see the great King look this chaotic.

“Good.”

Chen Ping then gave a new set of clothes to Nangong Zirui. His appearance was now much better and more pleasing to the eye. He returned to where Li Fengran had also changed his clothes, and the female villagers consciously retreated in order.

Nangong Zirui clasped Li Fengran's hand and touched his forehead. Li Fengran's body temperature was rather hot, perhaps this woman had a fever. Someone then came to give him a basin of cold water and a wet cloth, but when he was about to compress Li Fengran, Nangong Zirui interrupted him.

“Let me just.”

“This woman fainted for saving me. I'm not an ungrateful King,” Nangong Zirui interrupted him again.

Afraid of the King's anger, that person could only resign and let the King take care of the Sword Stakeholder by himself. Nangong Zirui painstakingly took care of Li Fengran, compressing him and cleaning up the dripping water droplets around his face. Sometimes, he looked at her for a long time.

This woman, with her meager abilities, was trying to protect her without caring for her own life. But it was with that ability that his sincerity crept into Nangong Zirui's heart. When other people only thought about taking advantage of her, this woman could give her own life instead.

When he saw her standing against the sword with her body, Nangong Zirui's emotions immediately peaked. This was the first time he felt worried as well as angry at a woman. He could not imagine if he was a little late and the sword managed to stab Li Fengran's body.

Nangong Zirui came to a realization from his thoughts when a small sigh sounded. Li Fengran's eyelids moved slowly, then opened.

He frowned several times, his head was dizzy, but there was a cold object stuck on top of his forehead. When he saw Nangong Zirui sitting beside him, Li Fengran immediately moved to his feet.

“No need to get up, stay in your position,” said Nangong Zirui.

“Your Majesty, where are we?”

“Village.”

“Village? What about the killers?” tanyakanya.

“Have been handled.”

Li Fengran heaved a sigh of relief. Thank goodness the killers were dealt with. He was too shocked to witness the murder in person, and since it was the first moment for him, he could not help the fear and horror that had appeared in his heart.

Li Fengran also did not understand why the moment the assassin wanted to stab Nangong Zirui from behind, his body automatically moved to block him. Li Fengran could not see the man in danger, and reflexively his heart pushed his body forward.

But, something's weird. He could see the anger in his eyes as well as his worries, but why was the man talking so briefly to him at this moment?

Li Fengran looked at him, he caught a hard-to-digest expression on his face. This Nangong Zirui was like he was angry, but did not want to show it.

“Your Majesty, is Your Majesty angry?”

“No.”

“Long. Your face can't lie to me.”

“Konyol. Later if there is another ambush, you can give up your life again and I will not help you.”

“Still say no anger.”

Nangong Zirui dodged Li Fengran's gaze and turned his back on him. She's pouting. Li Fengran peeked at him, then gave a small smile. The king was like a child who was forbidden to eat sweets by his mother for fear of damaging his teeth. But a King like this looks so cute.

“Alright, I was wrong. I shouldn't have blocked the sword without calculation. I just can't bear to see His Majesty being attacked secretly.”

“Are you stupid? Even without protection, I can still defeat them. I can still be aware of the movement behind me, there is no need to use someone else to block it for me.”

The man paused for a moment, taking a breath to calm his heart. You must not be angry, you must not be angry, he said repeatedly in his heart. “They are no ordinary killers. That's why I said it's not a situation that can be won by you.”

“Xiao Feng, I know this is your first time watching a fight. But even if they were captured alive, they would still die. The killer never said who told them and would choose to keep silent until death. Compassion is sometimes useless to people like them.”

Of course Li Fengran knew. He is just not used to it and needs time to adjust to all the tragedies. In the modern and real world, murders and ambushes are serious cases and are handled by the police before being prosecuted.

But here, the law of the jungle still applies. Li Fengran still had to adjust himself to accept everything. That'sthat's all.

“I know, Your Majesty. But even though I sacrificed my life, wouldn't it be a day if His Majesty survived? At least, my sacrifice was not in vain and the position of this Sword Stakeholder is appropriate for me,”.

“Who told you to sacrifice? I made you my Sword-bearer to help me and accompany me, not make you the shield that protects my life. You understand?”

Li Fengran nodded lightly. Heh, Nangong Zirui is really angry and worried about him. This arrogant king who likes to rule and is very calculated can turn out to be childish. Why didn't he tell you he didn't want to lose?

“And also, remember to always put your own safety before others,” continued Nangong Zirui.

“Alright, I already know, Your Majesty. Then, are you still angry?”

“No.”

“Can we go back to the capital now? You've been gone too long. Those ministers may not be able to be held again by the Queen Mother.”

“Besok. I'm tired.”
