Qing Lingyi's first reaction was to go back and pull Cheng Yang away. He was still sick!
Unexpectedly, Cheng Yang reacted faster than her. He put his hand around her waist and pulled her behind him. At the same time, he stepped forward to face the attack.
Qing Lingyi saw with his own eyes that Cheng Yang grabbed an assassin's sword with his bare hands, held the hilt, and made a very beautiful sword flower.
There was a cold light in his hand, the sleeves of his robe flew up, and he struck out with a powerful sword, grabbing the throats of five people.
In an instant, the five assassins fell to the ground weakly.
There was not a drop of blood on his body.
Cheng Yang stopped, raised his thin lips in a contemptuous arc, and said coolly: "They are all trash."
He threw away the sword and turned to Qing Lingyi, but he had returned to his weak state, "Yeah, yeah, I was scared to death."
Qing Lingyi:?
Qing Lingyi: "So you are already well, right?"
Cheng Yang's expression remained unchanged: "What's better?"
"Don't pretend to be stupid," Qing Lingyi scolded him, "Give me your hand."
Cheng Yang glanced at her balled-up palm.
Qing Lingyi said stubbornly: "My fingers are fine, just give me your hands."
Cheng Yang laughed, knowing that she was going to check his pulse, so he looked behind her at the right time and said, "Wu Liang, you're just in time."
Qing Lingyi thought he deliberately changed the subject.
"General, ma'am."
Wu Liang's voice, he actually came.
He took a step forward and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
"There is a general, how can anything happen?" Qing Lingyi muttered.
Cheng Yang glanced at her, smiled and ordered Wu Liang: "Take care of the few people here and arrange a new carriage."
"yes."
"Also, send someone to inform Cheng Zheng that we have found the second sister-in-law and ask him to take Chun Cai home."
"yes."
Qing Lingyi always wanted to touch his wrist to see if he was still lying to her.
Cheng Yang seemed to be aware of it and folded his hands in front of his chest to avoid her scrutiny. He also walked to talk to Wu Liang and stay away from her.
Qing Lingyi followed and heard their conversation.
"A trained killer."
"Look at the tattoo on this ankle, it's in the style of a winning order."
"The so-called winning orders are not all dead soldiers raised by Uncle Hu Ping who spent money."
"exactly."
Qing Lingyi lowered his eyes. The tattoo was exactly two closely intertwined osmanthus flowers.
"Early years ago, when we were still in Jingzhou, we heard about this Order of Laurelship," Wu Liang recalled. "It is said that Mr. Hu had different political views with an official in the court, and they often quarreled in the morning, demanding that His Majesty Only after being dissuaded did he agree to obey. Later, the official, his wife and children were assassinated on the way, and none of them survived. It was this order that won the title."
Cheng Yang nodded: "He used the order to win the title today to let me know that he has the final say in this matter."
He sneered: "It's a pity that I'm not a civil servant. I didn't come to Suidu to have a good relationship with anyone."
Qing Lingyi's heart suddenly jumped.
She originally blamed Cheng Yang for acting recklessly, but after today, especially after seeing the letter and seeing the painful Shen.
She suddenly understood that Cheng Yang was not meant to survive, let alone a higher status.
He is an evil ghost crawling out of the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, and everything he does is just for revenge.
Revenge against everyone.
Lu Ting arrived quickly.
He frowned, his usual smile was gone, and his expression was rare and solemn.
"Why do you have such an expression?" Cheng Yang glanced at him.
"Still asking," Lu Ting said angrily, "Brother, a Westerner died, and they were all dismembered... What happened to such a big thing, how do you want me to explain it to Jing Zhaoyin? How do you want me to explain it to His Majesty? "
Cheng Yang smiled: "Five."
Pointing to the yard behind: "Over there, my second sister-in-law is solving the last one."
Lu Ting: "Huh?"
Qing Lingyi completed: "Ten."
Pointing to the five assassins that Wu Liang had put aside, he said, "The ones we just dealt with."
Lu Ting: "Huh?!"
Lu Ting was about to cry: "This...I..."
He was heartbroken: "How about I take the blame and resign."
Cheng Yang raised his eyebrows and said: "It's not impossible. With your ability, you can join my army and be a general."
Lu Ting's lips twitched: "Thank you."
Qing Lingyi thought about it and said, "Master Lu, there is no need to be so worried."
Seeing her bright face, Lu Ting's mood became slightly brighter.
What a gentle beauty, she was the only one to comfort him at this time.
Qing Lingyi pointed at the assassin over there again: "Isn't this a good scapegoat?"
Lu Ting:?
Cheng Yang laughed out loud.
Qing Lingyi was confused: "Isn't it possible?"
Cheng Yang said lazily: "Okay, okay, it just depends on how Mr. Lu operates."
Looking at Lu Ting, "right, Master Lu?"
Lu Ting:......
Lu Ting forced a smile: "Okay... okay... okay..."
A new carriage and driver are ready.
Before Cheng Yang left, he asked Lu Ting one more time: "Are you really good at it?"
Lu Ting gritted his teeth: "I'm a man, and men can't say no."
Cheng Yang patted him on the shoulder: "Good brother, I'll treat you to dinner in two days."
Qing Lingyi raised his hand: "When my hands get better, I'll cook."
Lu Ting rushed to Cheng Yang's objection and agreed: "Then it's settled!"
Qing Lingyi smiled.
After getting on the carriage, Cheng Yang said displeasedly: "Your hand is injured like this, why should you go to the kitchen?"
"So I said in a few days, I should feel better in a few days." Qing Lingyi didn't take it seriously.
She sat down and suddenly hummed.
Cheng Yang looked over immediately: "What's wrong?"
"hand……"
Qing Lingyi frowned, "It hurts."
"Is it a wound?" Cheng Yang leaned close and gently touched her wrist.
"Well..." Qing Lingyi took advantage of his full attention on her palm and suddenly moved her fingers. While pressing his right hand to his leg, she pushed up his cuff with the other hand and pressed his pulse neatly with her fingertips.
Cheng Yang's first reaction was: "Don't you mean your hand hurts?"
Qing Lingyi said nothing.
Cheng Yang realized that she did it on purpose.
He's so smart, he knows how to use bitter tricks.
His hmm must be caring about his body, she has him in her heart!
Because any movement would definitely damage her wound, Cheng Yang generously let her feel her pulse.
His eyes fell on her face.
She looks good when she has no expression.
She also looks good when she's focused.
"Sure enough," Qing Lingyi murmured, "Sure enough, you are lying to me..."
She stopped her hand and complained: "It's clear that the poison has been suppressed, but you still pretend to be weak and make me so worried. If I had known I...well."
Worry?
Cheng Yang's heart felt hot, and before she could finish her words, he kissed her lips.
Qing Lingyi was stunned for a moment and immediately backed away: "What are you doing?"
Cheng Yang's breath was hot and his eyebrows were gentle: "The power will be passed."
Qing Lingyi was stunned again, "...if you kiss me, do you mean you've resisted?"
Cheng Yang hummed, and rubbed the corner of her mouth with his rough fingertips, "I'll kiss her well, you just have to enjoy it."
