Chapter 290 Helian Ziyu was rescued
Speaking of this, Bei Yunting sighed heavily: "The Queen Mother treated Helian Ziyu wholeheartedly, but she never thought that she would be betrayed by Helian Ziyu. I don't know if it's because of excessive sadness, but the Queen Mother has been restless day and night in recent days, and she always says that Helian Ziyu is harassing her nearby."
"The Empress Dowager is not feeling well, and the Emperor originally wanted to ask the God of State to come and exorcise the evil spirits. But the God of State has been feeling unwell, and the Emperor sympathized with him, so he did not ask him to take care of the matter. Instead, he asked the Second Prince to come and accompany the Empress Dowager and exorcise the evil spirits for her." The Chief Eunuch said again.
"I remember that the second prince has been practicing outside the palace. He will not return to the palace unless it is a major festival." The handsome figure of the second prince emerged in Yi Qianhuan's mind.
Bei Yunting had many descendants, and among the princesses, the most famous and beloved by the people was Princess Lianhe.
The second prince Bei Jiye has been weak since childhood. The master predicted that he was the reincarnation of Wenquxing and needed to stay away from the disputes in the palace to survive. Therefore, he was sent out of the palace early and has been practicing with his hair uncut.
She remembered that she had met the second prince once.
In his impression, the other party was an elegant and gentle man. Seeing that Bei Yunting's hint was so obvious, Yi Qianhuan didn't bother to beat around the bush with him and just stood up from his seat.
"Since the Queen Mother is possessed by evil spirits, I, as the national god, must go there."
Bei Yunting was waiting for Yi Qianhuan to say this, and quickly followed Yi Qianhuan's words and continued: "In this case, I will trouble the National God to take more care of it. Jiang Shouhai, take the National God to Fengkang Palace, so that the Second Prince can learn from the National God."
The chief eunuch immediately took Yi Qianhuan to Fengkang Palace.
Meanwhile, in the suburbs.
The horse-drawn carriage galloped along the narrow path, its wheels rolling over the ground, making bursts of fierce noises, and the fragile carriage swayed violently.
"Lord Governor, the assassins are getting closer and closer to us. The speed of the carriage has already reached its limit. If we continue to accelerate, the wheels may easily collapse completely." Lin Tong carefully observed the situation around him and spoke in a low voice.
Sitting firmly in his seat, Ji Chilian closed his eyes tightly, his fingers always fiddling with the Buddhist beads in his hand.
"What's the situation with Helian Ziyu?" Ji Chilian spoke as he heard the footsteps behind him getting faster and faster. The whistling night wind mixed with the sound of approaching assassins, who were only about thirty meters away from him.
The distance was still getting closer, and soon it reached twenty-five meters, twenty meters, fifteen meters, and ten meters!
Lin Tong drew the sharp sword from his waist and said in a deep voice: "Helian Ziyu has been successfully rescued. If nothing unexpected happens, Qin Lang should have caught up with them."
"In this case, we should also fight quickly and decisively here." As Ji Chilian was speaking, he heard a muffled sound coming from above his head.
The assassin caught up and put his feet on the roof of the carriage: "You dog officer, prepare to die!"
With a "whoosh", a sharp sword stabbed down from the roof of the car and went straight to Ji Chilian's head.
"Be careful, Governor!" Lin Tong quickly blocked the sharp attack, then turned around, knocked the sword away, leaped up, broke the roof of the car and rushed out.
The sound of impact came from above, and the broken roof splashed out pieces of wood chips, heading straight for Ji Chilian's face.
Ji Chilian opened the tightly closed folding fan with one hand, swept away the debris, and gently shook it in front of him.
His eyes swept to his side, and he saw the folding fan in Ji Chilian's hand moving towards his side. The tightly closed blades clamped a sharp blade that pierced through the car body.
"The murderous aura is so heavy, I don't know how many innocent lives have been lost in your hands." Ji Chilian moved his hand and the folding fan broke the sword.
Ji Chilian shot the broken sword with his backhand, allowing it to pierce through the carriage and hit the assassin outside the carriage.
Blood splattered everywhere, and the assassin was stabbed in the throat by the broken sword before he even had a chance to resist, and fell off the carriage.
"Since you have committed so many sins, you must pay for them with your lives." Ji Chilian smiled indifferently, and his deep voice revealed endless murderous intent.
The killers present all felt their hearts tremble and attacked at the same time!
The carriage was almost turned into a hornet's nest by the swarming blades. Ji Chilian exerted force with her fingers, and the Buddhist beads bracelet in her hand broke in the middle.
Whoosh whoosh!
The Buddhist beads flew out with such ferocious power that they penetrated directly into the bodies of the surrounding assassins.
There were bursts of muffled noises, and as the killers fell off the carriage one after another, Lin Tong finally pulled the galloping horses and stopped the carriage steadily.
"Dugong, please."
Bending down and walking out from behind the curtain, Ji Chilian heard footsteps coming from the woods not far away.
In the blink of an eye, Qin Lang and the Jinyiwei came. Ji Chilian's eyes flashed with surprise: "Why so fast?"
"Your Highness, our subordinates chased the prison-escaped Helian Ziyu all the way. When we caught up with him, we found that the people who came to rescue Helian Ziyu had all retreated." Qin Lang bowed his head and saluted. The cold sweat on his forehead was enough to prove how nervous they were at the moment.
"So, you lost us." Ji Chilian's voice showed no emotion. An invisible pressure accompanied by a strong internal force swept over, frightening Lin Tong so much that he knelt down as well.
Qin Lang hastily denied: "No! We didn't lose him. We did catch up with Helian Ziyu. But Helian Ziyu is dead. The jailbreakers left his body behind and left."
"If you want to kill him, why don't you do it in prison, but go through so much trouble to bring him out?" Ji Chilian murmured, "Where is Helian Ziyu's body now?"
"Our people are guarding the abandoned house where we found the body. Please go and check it out in person, Governor." Qin Lang said.
"Lead the way." Ji Chilian gave an order.
A group of people left quickly.
Here, when Yi Qianhuan arrived at Fengkang Palace, it was already completely dark.
"The Lord of the State has arrived—!"
As soon as he stepped into Fengkang Palace, he could smell the fragrance of herbs. It was the first time that Yi Qianhuan smelled such a refreshing scent, like a mixture of herbs and trees. The fragrance was long-lasting yet not too monotonous, as if it had the power to soothe people's hearts.
"Greetings, His Majesty the God of the Nation." Everyone in Fengkang Palace bowed together, no one daring to be negligent.
Yi Qianhuan didn't see the empress dowager at first glance, and was about to ask when he saw a man in white walking out of the bedroom.
The moment the man appeared, Yi Qianhuan's eyes couldn't help but be attracted.
The man was elegant, and although he was only about twenty years old, he had a mature and steady aura. Even if he was wearing the most ordinary robe, it was still difficult to conceal his innate noble temperament.
Especially the man's eyebrows, which are long and slender, and his forehead is full. He looks as kind as Buddha, but with a bit of heroic spirit that is unique to men.
This temperament and appearance made Yi Qianhuan immediately determine the man's identity.
"You are welcome, Third Prince. I came here today to visit the Queen Mother. I wonder how she is doing now?" Yi Qianhuan glanced at the quiet bedroom from afar and already had a guess in his mind.
