"Your Highness, don't be upset. I just want to confirm whether your intentions towards Miss Yan are sincere."
Qi Jue's voice was cold: "Why do you, an outsider, need to confirm my king's intentions for her?"
Ming Xingjian was not angry and took out a letter from his sleeve unhurriedly, "So it seems that Your Highness does not need me, an outsider, to deliver the message?"
Obviously, this letter was written by Yan Mingzhu. The moment Qi Jue saw it, he immediately reached out to grab it, but Ming Xingjian did not intend to let him take it away easily. Instead, he raised his hand to force it away.
In the blink of an eye, the two exchanged several moves. Although Ming Xingjian was hostile to him before, Qi Jue clearly felt that Ming Xingjian was more hostile today.
However, Qi Jue did not have the leisure and elegance to think about this, so he lost all patience and hit Ming Xingjian in the chest with his backhand.
Ming Xingjian's force level was not as good as Qi Jue's, and his speed could not keep up. After being hit in the chest, he staggered back two steps.
While he was staggering, Qi Jue had already snatched the letter away.
But after grabbing the letter, Qi Jue clenched his fists and coughed twice, his face turning a few shades whiter.
Upon seeing this, Kong Ci immediately stepped forward and said in a somewhat urgent tone: "Your Highness, did you just use your inner strength?"
"No, why do you need to use your inner strength to deal with the little minions? Don't worry, I will be fine."
After explaining casually, Qi Jue opened the letter and scanned it quickly.
Ming Xingjian, who was standing opposite him, couldn't help but look him up and down, then looked at Kong Ci's anxious look, hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "The poison in your body...is it really cured?"
Qi Jue's complexion looked unusually pale, and there was no blood on his thin lips. A normal person would not have such a bad complexion, let alone a person who has been practicing martial arts all year round.
After Qi Jue read the letter, he immediately put it on the fire and burned it clean.
Then he took the time to glance at Ming Xingjian and said, "What does it have to do with you."
Qi Jue didn't have a good temper when it came to his love rival. After quarreling with him, he added: "I will take care of the rest. You can go to Dali Temple to guard it. Although the prince is gone, Queen Pei will definitely not give up.
If my guess is correct, Queen Pei will definitely send Pei Duqin there again. Ming Zizhan is simple-minded and cannot defeat Pei Duqin. You must guard him at all times and don't make any mistakes again."
Without waiting for Ming Xingjian to reply, Qi Jue turned his head and said to Kong Ci: "Here is Mr. Lao."
Kong Ci wanted to say something, but when he looked into Qi Jue's eyes, his words changed his meaning: "Your Highness, please do not be too careful. Remember, never use your inner strength."
When Qi Jue was about to leave, he was suddenly stopped by Ming Xingjian: "Just now, I'm sorry."
Hearing this, Qi Jue looked back and met Ming Xingjian's eyes. With just one glance, he understood that Ming Xingjian had guessed his physical condition, so he took the initiative to apologize.
"Do your job well. I don't have much time. You can only succeed and not fail."
After leaving these words, Qi Jue walked out of the dormitory.
Ji Jingxue just happened to have placed the assassin's body, and she collided with Qi Jue, "Your Highness wants to leave the palace? I will come with you."
Qi Jue nodded, "Feiyun stays to assist Mr. Kong."
After making arrangements, Qi Jue went directly to Baekje Hall.
When he turned over and dismounted, the secret guard who had been watching outside also appeared, "Your Highness."
"Is there anything unusual?"
The secret guard lowered his head and cupped his hands and replied: "Everything is normal. Don't worry, Your Highness."
"Keep an eye on me. If anyone follows you, I will silence you directly. There is no need to report it to the king."
The people hidden in Baekje Hall must never be known to others.
After giving the instructions, Qi Jue walked in directly.
There were many people coming to buy medicine in the medicine shop. After Qi Jue entered, he looked around and asked, "Where is the shopkeeper?"
Shopkeeper Peng was originally talking to a patient. When he heard someone looking for him, he looked up and saw that the person who came had the air of a noble person. He did not dare to be negligent. He hurriedly stepped forward and said: "I am the shopkeeper. I don't know who the guest is."
What's important?"
Qi Jue didn't say anything nonsense and just whispered: "I was entrusted by your employer to meet a young master named Yuan."
Shopkeeper Peng stopped his smile instantly, and immediately understood who Qi Jue was talking about, and made a gesture, "Master, please come this way."
When leading Qi Jue, shopkeeper Peng did not forget to tell the medicine boy: "I want to greet the distinguished guests, so keep an eye on the shop and remember not to let anyone enter the inner hall."
After passing through the corridor, Shopkeeper Peng stopped in front of a wing room and said, "Master Yuan is inside. It's inconvenient for me to go in. Please excuse me, Master."
Qi Jue did not open the door directly, because the people inside were different from others. They were relatives of Yan Mingzhu, so he naturally wanted to leave a good first impression on his future cousin-in-law.
After knocking on the door a few times, a male voice soon came from inside the house: "Please come in."
Qi Jue pushed the door open and walked in. The room was very bright and spacious. At this moment, Yuan Jinshen was sitting on the warm couch, holding a tiger-head spear in one hand and a sweat towel in the other, carefully wiping the tip of the spear.
"I have always heard people praise him in the past. The second son of Yongyi Marquis is very good at spears. With a spear in his hand, he can scare the enemy. When I see him today, the magnanimity of Mr. Yuan is really extraordinary."
Yuan Jinshen turned his head almost at the same time, squeezed the spear in his hand, swiped it, and pointed it in the direction of Qi Jue, his eyes full of vigilance.
The moment he saw Qi Jue, Yuan Jinshen always felt that he looked familiar, but for a while, he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
"Who are you?"
Before Qi Jue could open his mouth, a strong wind suddenly rose up from behind him, threatening his lifeline!
However, Qi Jue stood erect on the spot with one hand behind his back and did not move. However, Ji Jingxue had already drawn his sword and blocked the incoming sword accurately and quickly.
Before the gun went off, Ji Jingxue and Lin Sangzhi had already passed several moves. Originally, after Ji Jingxue saw clearly that the person attacking Qi Jue was a woman, she originally just wanted to repel him.
But after two moves, Ji Jingxue quickly discovered that this woman had profound martial arts skills and great strength. Every sword strike carried a huge impact.
It was even difficult for Ji Jingxue to deal with it. The moment the swords touched each other, Lin Sangzhi used the luck of his left hand to strike down!
The overwhelming amount of profound skill made Ji Jingxue take two steps back.
This was a rare opponent that Ji Jingxue encountered after Yan Mingzhu. He became serious, gripped the hilt of the sword, activated his internal energy, and spread his aura around him.
Shopkeeper Peng was startled by the sudden fight. Seeing that the two people were about to get serious, he quickly stopped him, "Miss Lin, wait a minute, these three distinguished guests are all friends of the boss. Don't fight, don't fight!"
"
Master's friend?
Lin Sangzhi immediately stopped attacking, and at this time, Qi Jue cupped his fists and raised his hands: "Someone, Qi Jue."
Yuan Jinshen was suddenly startled, and immediately thought of coming down to salute, "It turns out to be His Royal Highness King Dingbei. Yuan is rude, I have met His Highness."
