Back Off, Let Me Come

"Ho ho ho ho..."

As Miao Ne's strength gradually increased, the eyes of Lord Qi's eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, almost protruding from the sockets. She desperately made meaningless whooshing noises, and her strength in struggling with her hands and feet became weaker and weaker. She couldn't figure it out, she couldn't figure out why "You Bao" would betray him.

Obviously everything "You Bao" has is based on her as the king! Once it loses the trust of the king, "You Bao" is nothing. Why betrayal? Why was she the one who betrayed! The force in the throat was so heavy that the king's neck felt like it was about to be strangled, and the scene before his eyes gradually blurred: "For..."

She just wanted to ask why!

Miao Ne was not a good man and a woman of faith, so naturally he would not let the other party know it clearly. He was about to kill the person in one go, but the string in his hand broke unexpectedly. When the leader of the Qi Kingdom was about to fall into coma, he felt the fatal restraint on his neck loosen.

Her body rolled half a circle.

The joy of escaping from death had not yet reached her brain, she saw "You Bao" above her with an impatient expression on her face, her fingers turned into claws, strangling the blood stains from the strings. With decisive force, the bones under the fingertips shattered. The leader of the Qi Kingdom tilted his head and lost his breath, but his eyes were still wide open. Miao Ne bent her fingers and checked her breathing. She was convinced that the person was completely dead, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally dead." When Miao Ne came back to his senses, he realized that his back was covered in cold sweat, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his hands were so tense that they had no strength. The man in front of her was the lord of a country after all. She had even called her "Lord" for several years, so he could be regarded as her serious lord. It would be a lie to say that you are not nervous about assassinating the opponent single-handedly.

Miao Ne didn't have time to sigh.

She regained her strength a little, stood up, put the body of Lord Qi into a sleeping position, put down the tent hook, and used the little tricks she had learned from traveling around the world to pretend that a living person was breathing. The guards who were transferred will come back quickly, and the sound of breathing can deceive them for a while.

Erasing the traces of the king's struggle and mess before his death, everything is done. Miao Ne took a deep breath to calm his racing heart and left with a normal expression. Returning to her residence, she was thinking about what to do next - leave before everyone noticed the death of the king, or continue to lurk and pretend? Both paths carry risks.

Continue to lurk and pretend?

No one knows how many magical spirits there are in the world. Can these spirits trace the scene before death from the corpse?

Leave now?

All the passes here are strictly guarded and no one is allowed to enter or exit.

Breaking through the barrier rashly is just asking for trouble.

Hiding in the pass is also easy to catch a turtle in the urn.

Miao Ne was not afraid of death. She encountered more dangers when she was wandering around than she does now, but if she could live, no one would want to die. She rubbed her teacup and thought about whether to take advantage of Cui Xiong. As Cui Xiong's current interlocutor, whether he is threatening him as a hostage or coaxing him into sending him out, his chances of success are high. Miao Ne took a sip of herbal tea and made a decision.

The footsteps of servants came from outside the door: "Female Master."

"What's the matter?"

The servant said: "Cui Langjun is here to visit."

Miao Ne raised an eyebrow, is this too much of a coincidence?

I was just about to coax Cui Xiong, but Cui Xiong came?

I really dozed off with only a pillow.

"Don't be lazy and invite people in."

Cui Xiong was still dressed in daytime clothes, looking worried, and Miao Ne stood up to greet him. When Cui Xiong heard the sound of her footsteps, he came back to his senses. He naturally held her cold hand with familiarity, frowned and said, "Why don't you let someone light the lamp at this time?"

"After all, I'm not used to it. It's normal for me to be lazy occasionally."

Cui Xiong said: "You are too lenient to them."

"Now you are living under someone else's roof. How can you be picky?" The generals in this area cannot be completely trusted. Whether he suffered a defeat and fled to someone else's territory, he still has to keep his tail between his legs and be a good man.

Cui Xiong took out the fire stick and lit the oil lamp.

The candlelight reflected his angular and pretty face.

Miao Ne had to admit that the children of the Cui family were quite capable. Taking advantage of their parents' appearance, Cui Xiong's appearance ranked among the top ten among the people she had ever seen. If you count his personality, he would be ranked number one. Others are too picky.

Cui Xiong didn't know what she was thinking: "You don't have to be so aggrieved."

"Do you mean you want me to pretend to be powerful?"

"Why not? No one can neglect the future wife of the Cui family. To neglect you is to neglect me, and to neglect me is to go against the Cui family." Cui Xiong's words made Miao Na wary.

She tentatively asked: "Are you unhappy that someone is looking for you?"

Otherwise, how could Cui Xiong have such a "big change in temperament"?

He was usually humble and gentle, and could not say such a thing.

Cui Xiong put away the book of fire, lifted up the hem of his clothes, and sat down gracefully opposite Miao Ne. He didn't speak, just stared at Miao Ne with deep and obscure eyes, which made Miao Ne's spine feel cold. He couldn't help but use his long sleeves to cover up, and touched the dagger on his wrist: "You——"

"Hou Bai."

"Um?"

"Call me Hou Bai, I rarely hear Baojun call me like this." Cui Xiong blinked, and the deep and obscure look in his eyes disappeared, replaced by Miao Ne's familiar gentleness, "Or call me Brother Bai?"

Both titles seemed too intimate.

Miao Ne didn’t choose any of them.

She wanted to know what kind of hooligan Cui Xiong was playing when he came over at night. Even for an unmarried couple who had been engaged for many years, it was a bit rude to call them "Brother Bai" out of the blue. If Cui Xiong's aura was not normal, she would suspect that the other party was fake.

Cui Xiong definitely concealed things.

"Why did you come here this time?"

Cui Xiong's rhetorical question forced Miao Ne to lift the table first: "Does Mr. Bao know that there are Cui's confidants among the royal guards?"

The table rolled over several times.

A dagger was pressed against Cui Xiong's neck.

Miao Ne said, "You know?"

Cui Xiong was stiff all over, as if he had not expected Miao Ne to react so quickly and ruthlessly. Without knowing his intention, Miao Ne had already assumed that he was an enemy? He calmed down and said, "The guard rotation is different from the past. There is a half-minute of emptiness... You normally wouldn't make such a mistake... But I didn't expect that Bao Jun would actually kill the king. Why did he do this?"

The question that the king didn't have time to ask was asked by him.

Miao Ne said, "Guess?"

Cui Xiong's tense muscles gradually relaxed, and his eyebrows relaxed - before seeing Miao Ne, he thought it was an enemy who secretly replaced You Bao, but now he can be sure that this is her real body.

Cui Xiong whispered, "You underestimate the holder of the national seal. Without special means, the self-protection ability of a king who is a scholar is far lower than that of a king who is a warrior... I don't know how many times he has been assassinated."

His words made Miao Ne's pupils tremble.

She said fiercely: "She's not dead?"

The dagger in his hand scratched Cui Xiong's skin, leaving blood marks.

Cui Xiong ignored the existence of the dagger, and patted her tense back with the other hand that was not pressed by Miao Ne's knee, and whispered to comfort her: "Don't worry, the person is dead, and the fake death has become real death."

Simple sentence, huge amount of information.

Miao Ne said: "Did you kill her?"

He was thinking whether to use the trick against her.

Cui Xiong was unaware: "No, the injuries you left were too severe. She woke up halfway but no one asked for a doctor for her."

The guards were deaf and didn't hear the strange noise in the house, and didn't go to see it - considering that there were no doctors nearby, even if the guards broke in and found out, the king was unlikely to survive, but You Bao's killing of the king would definitely be exposed, and he would be unable to escape at that time.

The person was still killed by You Bao.

At most, he was an accomplice who watched the death without saving.

Miao Ne's hanging heart finally fell to the ground, but there was a more difficult question in front of him: "Cui Houbai, what is your purpose?"

Knowing that she killed the lord, you helped her conceal it?

Cui Xiong whispered: "This question should be asked by me."

Why did she want to kill the king?

Such a big thing can't be done on a whim.

Miao Ne wanted to laugh after hearing it: "What's so difficult about this question? People go up, water flows down, she is doomed, and I don't want to continue to be a grandson. If she doesn't find another way forward, will she hang herself on a tree? If you want to kill, just kill, are you satisfied with this answer?"

Cui Xiong was not satisfied at all.

"You didn't tell the truth."

"If I tell the truth, you won't live!"

It was a disguised admission that the above paragraph was perfunctory.

Cui Xiong said: "I don't want you to get into trouble."

"What?"

"Didn't Baojun ask me what my purpose is? I don't want you to get into trouble! The king and you, naturally... you are more important."

Miao Ne's hand holding the dagger trembled a little.

Not because of being moved, but because of shock.

Shocked, Cui Xiong, an honest man who followed the rules, actually had such a crazy side. Just because someone "didn't want you to get into trouble", he dared to drag the king to death and conceal the murderer? Is Cui's family education okay? Miao Ne seemed to have known Cui Houbai for the first time.

"Do you think..." She swallowed her saliva, "I will believe it?"

I didn't dare to believe it at all.

She expected Cui Xiong to say something like - Qi State was doomed, he wanted to plan as soon as possible and make profits for Cui.

Cui Xiong said: "Why not?"

Miao Ne: "..."

Why should she believe it? If Cui Xiong was a normal person, how could he believe a person who was hypocritical from beginning to end?

Miao Ne looked at the boy with sincere eyes under her.

"Cui Houbai."

"Baojun?"

"Lend you a hostage!"

Miao Ne acted neatly and decisively, and Cui Xiong's neck was hit hard. If Cui Xiong lied, it would be a good opportunity to expose his lies; if he didn't lie, he could clear his suspicion by being a hostage, and he could also escape smoothly, which was a two-pronged approach...

It was indeed easy to use Cui Xiong to open the pass.

The guard owed Cui a favor, so he would not allow the young master of Cui to be killed by the villains in front of him, so he opened the pass and let Miao Ne leave. Cui Xiong was thrown on the horse, and he did not forget to persuade Miao Ne: "Baojun, you don't have to do this."

Cui Xiong said: "In fact, it is more beneficial than harmful to Cui to change the king at the moment, and you and I are on the same side..."

He was not entirely for his fiancée, it was half and half.

"Shut up!"

"Oh."

The hostage cooperated very well, and Miao Ne escaped safely.

After running for fifty or sixty miles, they finally saw a river. Miao Ne left Cui Xiong behind: "Stay here, someone will come to find you."

"Baojun!"

"I'm not!"

Even though he was mentally prepared, when Cui Xiong heard the truth, his breathing became heavy for a moment, and his heart seemed to be squeezed by something, making him breathless. All of this is fake?

Miao Ne used one hand to set up the Word Spirit Confinement.

"When I'm safe, I'll release it."

After saying that, he used the Word Spirit [A Reed Crossing the River], and his figure disappeared at a very fast speed in the vast river. Cui Xiong stepped forward but was blocked by the Word Spirit under his feet. His lips were dry and his mouth was dry, but he could do nothing. In less than half a minute, Cui's guards came with the guard's confidant.

Cui Xiong was able to escape from the predicament: "I'm fine."

"But your neck is still bleeding..."

"It's okay." Cui Xiong bandaged the wound with a handkerchief, which was a gift from Baojun. He always carried it with him. "The bad guys have been taken away. You can't catch up now. Don't delay here, go back and investigate!"

Cui Xiong didn't pursue the bad guys, and the guard's confidants were happy to see the results. He was most afraid of these aristocratic family members using the issue to make things difficult for others.

However, I never expected that the leader of the country would be assassinated! Not only was the king dead, but the body of the king's confidant was also found in the pond. It was said that this queen of the You family was Cui Dalang's fiancée. Cui Dalang, who had just escaped from the tiger's mouth, heard about this and fainted on the spot!

Miao Ne regained his original appearance, dressed up as a male ranger, and wandered around the city, but he did not hear a single word of the assassination of the king, let alone the death of the king. On the contrary, I heard rumors that Cui Xiong was seriously ill and Cui Zhi came here despite his illness.

She did see a motorcade carrying the Cui clan emblem along the way.

"Is Cui Jishan really here?"

Miao Ne lowered the brim of his hat and blended into the crowd.

Anyway, what happens next has nothing to do with her.

Little did they know that Cui Zhi was now one of the top two.

Cui Zhi, who was seriously ill in the outside world, now walked as fast as flying and rushed all the way to the eldest son's room. There was a strong smell of soup in the room, and Cui Xiong looked pale and sickly. Seeing his father standing outside the house, Cui Xiong put down the soup and stood up to salute.

Then, he was slapped by his father.

"Cui Houbai, you are so brave!"

Cui Xiong did not argue and leaned forward to plead guilty.

Cui Zhi said: "Did you kill her?"

Cui Xiong swallowed the blood secreted from his gums: "Yes."

He admitted it so readily that Cui Zhi couldn't let go of his second slap. He thought that the eldest son would be the most worry-free, but he didn't expect that the other party would give him a "surprise" out of the blue. Cui Zhi lifted up his clothes and sat down, saying angrily: "You'd better explain clearly!"

Cui Xiong said: "There is no easy explanation."

Cui Zhi almost crushed the tea cup.

He lowered his voice and said, "Cui Houbai, why are you crazy! Do you know that you are taking your own future as your own will now? If the story of the lord murder spreads, who will be able to tolerate you and the Cui family in the future?"

Cui Zhi is worried about his son's future.

Due to various reasons, Cui Zhi's retirement is inevitable.

It is inevitable that Cui Xiong will be pushed to the forefront, but he is too young, and it is difficult for the elders in the clan to deal with him. In the future, he will need to deal with the royal court and the Kangguo family when he integrates into Kang State... Cui Xiong cannot be without edge, but he cannot be sharp either. It's too much, and I can't leave anything to criticize. Everything is fine, Cui Xiong went to kill the king?

Cui Zhi never imagined that it was his eldest son who did it.

"Who are you hiding it for?"

Without moving his eyelids, Cui Xiong asked, "When will my father plan to announce the news that the Lord is suffering from a serious illness?"

Cui Zhi laughed angrily.

"Okay, okay, what a lawless person!"

After doing such a big thing, you can still lie without hesitation.

However, Cui Zhi only had two sons and only one heir whom he focused on cultivating. He could only hold his nose and deal with the aftermath.

"Go back and wait for the family to take care of you!"

Cui Xiong saved his life.
