Chapter 162 Natural Beauty

Yan Mingzhu noticed something strange in the man in black's mouth and immediately shouted: "He is going to commit suicide!"

But he was still a step too slow. Although Qi Jue had broken the man in black's jaw at an extremely fast speed, the next moment he tilted his head and spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Dead."

Qi Jue let go of his hand and swayed when he stood up.

Yan Mingzhu jumped to his side and supported him, "Don't move around. Your internal organs are seriously injured. Sit down first."

After helping Qi Jue sit down, Yan Mingzhu asked again: "Your Highness, do you have any contact smoke bombs on you? I'm afraid that this wave of assassins will not succeed, and there will be new assassins. It's better to contact Feiyun and the others as soon as possible.

It’s safe.”

Qi Jue took a breath and said, "These assassins are not here for me."

"Aren't they here for you, Your Highness? Then why are they bent on killing you?"

Qi Jue shook his head, "The purpose is not to kill this king, but to kill us. Anyone who steps into Lingxi Mountain, walks through the mountainside and goes deeper will not be able to leave this place alive."

Yan Mingzhu was very smart and immediately understood the meaning of his words, "There is something shameful hidden in the Lingxi Mountains. The people behind it were afraid that it would be leaked, so they sent killers to kill everyone who entered here, no matter what.

Who is the other party, leaving no one alive?"

"It's not that I'm afraid of being seen, but I'm afraid of being seen. That's a good thing that everyone misses."

Yan Mingzhu only thought about it for a moment and immediately guessed: "Is it a gold mine?"

Qi Jue looked at her with a little smile in his eyes. She was indeed as smart as he thought.

"Why do you think it's a gold mine?"

Yan Mingzhu made a simple analysis: "In this world, what everyone is desperately pursuing is nothing more than two things. One is power, and the other is money. The barren mountains and mountains here obviously have nothing to do with power, then there is only money.

The most valuable thing in the mountain is the gold mine. It can make the people behind the scenes so powerful that they will not hesitate to buy killers to guard it. No one is allowed to take a step inside. Once anyone enters, they will silence them. Only a gold mine can have such charm.

.”

Qi Jue laughed softly and did not deny it, which meant acquiescence.

"The person behind this must be an official from Jizhou, right? Moreover, this official's status should not be low, but he should not be the only one. Behind him, there must be a controller with a higher status than him."

What Yan Mingzhu said next made Qi Jue slightly raise his eyebrows, "Oh, why?"

"Dazhao law clearly stipulates that all mineral deposits discovered within the territory of Dazhao must be reported to the court. If any private deposits are found, the nine tribes will be implicated. Dazhao's salary for officials is quite generous.

For a normal official, no matter how tempting the gold mine is, the wealth and life of the family are not as important. What's more, what does an official do with so much gold? After all, once this matter is discovered, he will

His life is at risk,

So unless the person who instigated him behind the scenes has more power than he does, and also offers him enough bargaining chips that people cannot refuse, he will be allowed to take the risk."

Qi Jue laughed, his eyes falling on her face, "Has anyone ever said that you don't look like a boudoir girl, but rather like a counselor who has been in the government and the public for a long time?"

Naturally, there are very few people who can compare with her. After all, in her previous life, she was a second-level general of the auxiliary country, and she was still a woman. It can be said that she is unprecedented and unprecedented.

Moreover, the open and hidden arrows in the court are much more terrifying than the battlefield.

"Your Highness, are you praising my natural beauty?"

Qi Jue was amused, but his laughter reached his heart. He immediately changed his face slightly and coughed heavily.

Unexpectedly, after coughing like this, I couldn't stop, and with a pop, I spit out a mouthful of blood!

Yan Mingzhu's complexion changed slightly, she quickly touched several acupuncture points on his body, and then took his hand to take a pulse.

"The lungs and muscles are blocked, which is a bit troublesome to treat. Your Highness, can you contact Feiyun and the others immediately?"

Qi Jue shook his head weakly, "When he fell, the smoke bomb on his body disappeared. Feiyun and the others should not have escaped, otherwise they would have been the ones who came up just now."

After all, they encountered a mudslide. In the chaos, Feiyun and the others' situation might not be much better.

Yan Mingzhu only hesitated for a moment before making a decision, "Your Highness, your injuries are not serious. I will take you to a place, but you have to climb this mountain first. Can you still go?"

Is there ever a time when a man cannot do anything? Even though he is very weak now and feels as if all the muscles in his body are about to break when he moves, he can still grit his teeth and persevere.

"Of course you can."

As he was about to stand up, Yan Mingzhu sighed and held him down to prevent him from moving, "Okay, it's time now, don't show off, wait, I'll be back soon."

When she turned around, Yan Mingzhu met Nuo Nuo's big round eyes and raised her hand to touch her little head.

"Nuo Nuo, I'll leave for a while. My sister will be back soon. Watch out for your big brother and don't let him move around. Do you understand?"

Nuo Nuo nodded obediently, "Don't worry, sister, Nuo Nuo will definitely take good care of big brother!"

Qi Jue waited there for a long time, but Yan Mingzhu was nowhere to be seen. He couldn't sit still.

Although Yan Mingzhu's skills are good, she is a girl after all, and this is a barren mountain. Although the killer has been solved, what if she encounters any jackals, tigers, and leopards...

Thinking of this, Qi Jue couldn't sit still and stood up to find someone.

Nuo Nuo quickly stopped him, "Brother, you can't move around. Sister said, you have to sit here!"

"Ben...I'm fine, just stay here."

As soon as I stood up holding on to the wall, the grass not far away made a rustling sound.

Qi Jue frowned, grasped the soft sword, and his whole body was on alert.

Nuo Nuo hid behind him in fear, only daring to peek out her little head.

"Your Highness, why are you up again? Didn't I tell you not to move?"

The next moment, what came out of the grass was the beautiful figure that made him miss him.

Yan Mingzhu walked forward as she spoke, holding the snow rabbit in her right hand and holding something in her left hand.

Qi Jue lowered his eyes and asked, "What is this?"

"Ah, I made a horseback chair. I was pressed for time, so I made a simple one, but it should be quite strong."

With that said, Yan Mingzhu installed the horseback chair she mentioned on the horseback of Snow Rabbit.

After it was installed, Qi Jue saw that it was a simple chair made of many pieces of wood tied together.

"Okay, Your Highness, you can sit on it and try it."

Qi Jue was stunned for a moment, "Are you doing this for me?"

"Yes, the mountain road is bumpy, and your highness has suffered internal injuries. I'm afraid that you won't be able to sit firmly on the horse, so I specially set up a chair like this with a backrest at the back and handles on the left and right sides, so that even if you can't sit still,

It won’t fall down, so how about it? Isn’t it very high-end?”
