Appointing a General as a Concubine: Where Can General Xiao Escape?

Chapter 139 Assassination

The remaining few of them were still tied, and just when Xiao Mo was almost chopped down in her reckless attempt to save Shen Yun, Qi Yue arrived.

While riding on his horse, he shot an arrow through the wrist of the man who raised his hand to chop Xiao Mo.

The man groaned in pain and then retreated behind the other men in black.

When Xiao Mo heard the sound, she turned around and saw Qi Yue nimbly jumping off his horse and running towards her.

Her expression changed slightly, and she pushed Qi Yue, who was about to walk in front of her, away: "Be careful!"

It turned out that behind him, a man in black threw several darts at him.

In fact, if you look closely, the darts were flying towards her in a straight line, but were blocked by Qi who was walking sideways.

Xiao Mo saw a moment of panic in the man's eyes.

Is he afraid of hurting Qi Yue? It seems that this group of people are from the imperial court.

That’s right, there are only people in the court who want to get rid of her. If it was someone in the martial arts world, she would really be at a loss as to what to do.

"Are you OK?"

Xiao Mo quickly walked to Qi Yue's side, and they both expressed their concern for each other in unison.

Xiao Mo shook her head: "I'm fine."

As soon as she finished her answer, the remaining men in black launched a second round of attacks on her.

Qi Yue easily took on their moves, and when he saw Xiao Mo pick up his bow and arrow to shoot the man in black who was trying to escape, he stopped her.

"These aren't dead soldiers. We can get information from them if we catch them alive."

Xiao Mo glanced at him and reluctantly put down the bow and arrow.

Qi Yue used his Qinggong skills to quickly catch up with them, and they started fighting again on the river bank.

The remaining few people had already fought with Xiao Mo for a long time and had consumed a lot of physical strength.

Therefore, he had no advantage at all when fighting with Qi Yue and was quickly defeated.

After Xiao Mo helped the injured Shen Yun to a safe place, she chased after Qi Yue.

The two of them joined forces and easily knocked the remaining people to the ground.

If Qi Yue hadn't said in advance that he wanted him alive, they wouldn't have gone through so much trouble.

Looking at the black-clad men wailing on the ground, Xiao Mo clapped her hands: "Just watch, I'll find something to tie them up."

Qi Yue chuckled and said, "Just find the vines nearby."

The two of them turned around while talking and laughing, and a man in black on the ground suddenly jumped up and stabbed towards Xiao Mo's head with a dagger in both hands.

Qi Yue caught a glimpse of this scene and reflexively stood behind Xiao Mo.

Judging from his reaction, he could have easily knocked the man to the ground.

But his sword-holding hand hesitated as he was about to raise it.

A terrible idea quickly took root in his mind.

He actually closed his eyes, turned around and threw Xiao Mo to the ground.

The man in black was shocked by the scene before him, but he could no longer retract his actions or the dagger in his hand.

There is no doubt that this sword must have hit Qi Yue.

Qi Minxiu came riding a fast horse, and his eyes suddenly changed when he saw this scene.

He drew out his sword and threw it at the man who had stabbed Qi Yue. The sword pierced his throat squarely, killing him instantly.

The remaining few people were also dealt with in a few moves by Qi Minxiu, who was unaware of the situation and angry.

Xiao Mo helped Qi Yue sit up and gently pulled out the dagger from his shoulder.

"Hey, are you okay? Qi Yue, Qi Yue?"

Qi Yue gritted his teeth and leaned in Xiao Mo's arms, "Amo, are you okay?"

I could hear his voice was short and his breathing became rapid.

Xiao Mo worriedly picked up the dagger she had thrown on the ground.

She picked up a little blood from the sword with her hand and sniffed it.

"This sword is poisonous. Hurry, help him suck out the poison!"

Qi Minxiu looked at Xiao Mo blankly and pointed at himself: "You want me to suck?"

"It's okay for me to come. After all, he was injured because he was saving me."

As Xiao Mo spoke, she tore off the clothes on Qi Yue's shoulders, and Qi Minxiu was so scared that he quickly grabbed his hand.

"Men and women shouldn't touch each other, so let me do it."

When Qi Yue heard Qi Minxiu say that he would help him suck the poison out of his shoulder, he forced himself to sit up.

"Get away! This is disgusting! I'd rather die than let a man touch my skin!"

Qi Minxiu sneered and stood up with his hands folded across his chest.

"Do you think I want to? Kissing a man's back gives me goosebumps just thinking about it."

"It's already this late and you two are still bickering!"

Xiao Mo scolded them both in annoyance, and without hesitation, she lowered her head and sucked out the black blood from Qi Yue's wound mouthful by mouthful.

Qi Minxiu frowned as he saw this, squatted down and pushed Xiao Mo away: "I'll do it."

Xiao Mo wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and reminded him, "Suck it until the blood is no longer black."

Qi Minxiu remained silent and quickly sucked out a large pool of black blood.

After being scolded by Xiao Mo, Qi Yue stopped resisting and his expression gradually warmed up.

Looking at the corpses on the ground, Xiao Mo sighed: "I originally wanted to catch a living one, but now there is none left."

Qi Minxiu glanced at the corpses and turned back in confusion: "Why leave them alive? They are obviously Qi Suyuan's men."

"Do you have any evidence to prove it?" Xiao Mo looked at him as if he were a fool.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stood up, walked to the group of corpses, and took something out of their arms.

"Here's the proof."

Xiao Mo looked at the thing in his hand and tilted her head in confusion.

Just as he was about to ask for clarification, Qi Yue in his arms slowly opened his eyes and moaned softly.

She happily lowered her head and asked about his condition: "How are you? Are you feeling better?"

Qi Yue nodded slightly.

Xiao Mo asked again: "Will your return to the East Palace like this cause trouble?"

"It's okay, just reply like this."

Seeing her hesitation, Qi Minxiu added, "How can we find out who's behind this if we don't stir up trouble?"

Xiao Mo pursed her lips and nodded in understanding.

Back at the East Palace, the Emperor and Concubine Liang rushed over as soon as they heard that Qi Yue had been harmed.

At this time, Xiao Mo was taking Qi Yue's pulse by the bed and instructing the people around her to get medicine.

As soon as she entered the room, Concubine Liang ran straight to the bed with tears in her eyes.

"Yue'er, what's going on? How could someone be so bold as to assassinate the crown prince?

Your Majesty, you must make the decision for Yue'er!"

The emperor sat down on the chair next to him with a frown on his face, and looked at Qi Minxiu and Xiao Mo with a serious expression.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Xiao Mo walked up to him respectfully and knelt down, telling him in detail what happened today.

The emperor's expression grew uglier as he listened. "So, that group of people came for you, and the prince was injured because he was trying to save you?"

He said, he is the great Nan Yao, how dare anyone openly assassinate the prince.

Xiao Mo nodded without denying it: "Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince blocked the sword for me."

Concubine Liang wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her handkerchief.

"Yue'er loves you so deeply, this time, you are not allowed to go back on your word!"

Qi Minxiu shot her a cold look: "What did the Imperial Concubine say?

If shielding someone from injury could earn their love, I would have married her long ago."

Concubine Liang was choked by his words and could only look at the emperor in a pretentious manner: "Your Majesty!"
