Chapter 88 - Betrayal
Nangong Yue's body stiffened, like a statue, her face full of black lines. How can you say this, you took a piece of jade from him, how can it be about giving your life to him?
In fact, she initially wanted to ask for some silver, but seeing that Xiao Yi was in such a sorry state, he might not have much silver on him at all, so she settled for the next best thing and thought she could take the sheep's-fat white jade, but she didn't expect it to cause Xiao Yi to say such things.
Xiao Yi was still talking about it: "Back then, my grandmother gave me this piece of sheep's fat white jade and took my hand and said ......," he said, emphatically imitating the old man, " Yi Ge Er! You have to take this white jade, If in future you meet a young girl you like and want to marry her, give her this."
Nangong Yue cursed herself for being unlucky and taking a hot potato. She looked embarrassed and said, "I didn't know this was something your grandmother gave you, I'll give it back to you." With that, she tried to give the jade to Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi did not take it, and said unhappily, "There is no reason to take back something that has been given away." Then he said with an unhappy expression as if he had thought of something, "Damn girl, you don't want this piece of sheep's fat white jade, do you think that I am not good enough for you?"
"Yes." Nangong Yue said with a serious face, "For me, you are too old." In fact, if we really count the age, plus the previous life, she is too much older than him ......
The face of Xiao Yi completely darkened, indignantly said: "Where am I old?!" He was still a beautiful young man! But very quickly, he smiled again and said with a crooked head, "Since I'm so old, brat, don't call me uncle to listen!"
What? Nangong Yue's mouth dropped open.
"I can't help it, I'm old." Xiao Yi said in a pretentious manner, "I can't be your grandfather's generation, but I can be your uncle."
Nangong Yue was completely speechless, hey, why didn't she learn her lesson, why did she play smart with him.
At that moment, a loud voice suddenly came from the window: "Master Shizi, don't tease the young girl, she is so ashamed of you that she can't speak." A middle-aged man of about forty jumped in the window, a stout man with a lean face and a moustache on his lips.
Yimei's face was half darkened and she thought to herself, " What kind of master is there, what kind of servant is there! This one is at least a bit old, but he still doesn't know how to be polite, just barging into a girl's boudoir!
As if he could see what Yi Mei was thinking, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "Don't worry, the two girls outside have been knocked out by me, no one will know what happened tonight!"
Xiao Yi saw the visitor and said with a happy face, "Uncle Cheng, you're here." There was a natural sense of intimacy in his tone.
Uncle Cheng bowed to him respectfully, "Greetings, Your Highness."
"There is no need for Uncle Cheng to be polite." Xiao Yi hurriedly got up and falsely supported him.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Uncle Cheng said respectfully, but suddenly drew out a cold dagger and stabbed Xiao Yi's chest fiercely.
Xiao Yi was shocked and immediately dodged, avoiding the vital point, but he was still cut on his right arm, adding to his wound, and another bloody wound was inflicted on his right arm.
Xiao Yi covered the wound with his left hand, his face hurt, and he whispered incredulously, "Uncle Cheng, why?" Uncle Cheng was an old servant brought by his deceased mother from her mother's house, and over the years, he had always regarded him as a close friend. There were several names on his list of suspicions just now, but he had never thought it was Uncle Cheng ......
Uncle Cheng laughed coldly and said, "I blame you, you are too useless and disgusted by the King!"
"Because of this?" Xiao Yi only felt ridiculous.
"Your Highness, I have been by your side for so many years, hoping that one day you would inherit the title of the South King's House and enjoy eternal glory and prosperity with me. However, you are too useless, and over the years, you have become less and less pleasing to the King's heart! With your death, I can find another way out 'in name only'." Uncle Cheng said expressionlessly.
Xiao Yi only felt a chill rise in his heart, his pupils could not help but shrink, and he slowly said: "Cheng Bo, you want to kill me to claim credit from your new master?" As for who was Cheng Bo's new master, he knew without asking! It was her, indeed it was her! He had always regarded her as his closest relative, but he did not expect her to be good in face but evil in heart. ...... It was as if a huge claw had squeezed his heart so tightly that he could hardly breathe.
"Cut the crap, come and take your life!" With a murderous look in his eyes, Cheng Bo abandoned his dagger and drew out the sharp sword at his waist.
Xiao Yi also drew out a soft sword with his left hand and blocked Cheng Bo's attack with a horizontal movement of his sword.
"Clang!"
Where the two swords clashed, sparks flew everywhere!
A look of surprise appeared in Cheng Bo's eyes, he didn't expect Xiao Yi to be able to resist his own attack, and that was with his left hand. But soon, he laughed coldly and threw out several silver sword splashes and attacked Xiao Yi once again.
For a while, the two were fighting in such a small room, and gradually, a look of anxiety appeared on Cheng Bo's face.
He has been with Xiao Yi for many years, but he only thought that the Shizi was not good at literature and not good at martial arts, but he did not expect that Xiao Yi's martial arts skills were so high that his left-handed sword was not inferior to his right hand, and he was able to fight with himself until now ......
Cheng Bo also had some regrets in his heart, regretting that he should not have thought of claiming credit and thus was too arrogant and failed to send a message to call in some helpers.
But now it was too late to regret, and the only way out was to fight quickly.
With this in mind, his eyes were stern and his strikes were even more ruthless, each move was a killing move. Just saw the silver sword splashes appearing and disappearing, just like the brilliant fireworks.
Xiao Yi's sober face, one by one, blocked the sword moves of Cheng Bo. Even though he was injured, he did not show any sign of defeat, but his sword was becoming more and more powerful ...... Suddenly a silver sword light passed by like lightning, and he picked off the sharp sword in Cheng Bo's hand with one stroke.
Cheng Bo's eyes were shocked, he didn't expect Xiao Yi to have such ability, so he couldn't help but feel retreat in his heart. He turned around and ran towards the door, at the same time, his five fingers formed claws and grabbed Nangong Yue, trying to take her as a hostage to threaten Xiao Yi.
Yimei had been following Nangong Yue closely, and when she saw this, she looked terrified and darted over to her. She knew in her heart that if the Third Young Lady fell into the wrong hands, then her life would be over.
Nangong Yue didn't expect Yi Mei to rush out, and it was too late to stop her, so she could only watch as she fell into the hands of Cheng Bo.
Cheng Bo's right hand became a claw and strangled Yi Mei's snow-white neck without mercy, and said grimly, "Let me go, or she dies." As he said that, his hands exerted force, and a painful expression appeared on Yi Mei's face, her pretty face was pale, but she did not ask for help.
Xiao Yi frowned slightly and looked at Nangong Yue.
Nangong Yue's murderous aura burst out instantly, and her eyes were like cold arrows falling on Uncle Cheng's body. At this moment, she looked like a god of death, making people's hearts tremble.
Slowly, word by word, she said to Cheng Bo, "If anything happens to her, you will die!" Yimei had fallen into danger to protect herself, so she couldn't just leave her alone!
Xiao Yi's face was devoid of joy and sorrow, and he made a promise indifferently: "Uncle Cheng, let her go, and you can go."
He smiled grimly, "Don't worry, when I get to a safe place, I will naturally let her go." With that, he roughly dragged Yimei outside, but when he reached the door, he suddenly felt his whole body losing strength like a tidal wave, and his body went limp and fell to the ground uncontrollably.
Yimei escaped from the tiger's mouth and ran to Nangong Yue's side in a state of shock, almost without crying out in pain.
"You ...... what have you done?" Cheng Bo's eyes burst into a red flame of rage, his forehead bulging with veins. He tossed his body like a stranded fish, but his arms and legs wouldn't obey him, and it was so hard to even move.
Xiao Yi slowly walked in front of Cheng Bo, raised the sword in his hand, and stabbed Cheng Bo without mercy. His face was expressionless and his eyes were cold. He was very different from his usual self, as if he was a different person ......
Nangong Yue's pupils shrank, as if she saw the God of Killing Xiao Yi in her previous life, the God of Killing was the God of Killing after all!
Cheng Bo's face was terrified and he couldn't help but shout out, "Master Shizi, don't you want to know who wants you dead?"
The sword in Xiao Yi's hand paused, and his eyes narrowed dangerously.
Cheng Bo breathed a sigh of relief, and it was then that he realised he was actually in a cold sweat.
"If you let me go, I can tell you who really wants ......" His voice stopped short as a sharp arrow broke through the air and instantly pierced his throat, blood gushing out... ...There was a gurgling sound in Cheng Bo's throat, a look of disbelief on his face, and his eyes were wide open, dying in disbelief!
On the other side, Yimei had fallen limply to the ground, looking at the corpse of Cheng Bo in horror and covering her mouth tightly, lest she make a sound. What had happened this night was beyond her imagination ......
Xiao Yi ran out, only to see a man in black disappearing like a shooting star into the thick night. He wanted to chase after him with his sword, but was stopped by Nangong Yue: "Don't chase after him, you are injured. Even if you catch him, he's just a minion. ......" After a pause, she said tentatively, "Besides, you should already know who the mastermind behind this is, right?"
Xiao Yi was silent, seemingly acquiescing. After a while, he said, "Brat, have you ever thought that if you let him get away, you might get involved?"
Nangong Yue laughed lightly, "I'm just a poor 'passerby' who was implicated, and I don't know who the mastermind behind this is, so what's the point of looking for me?" After a pause, she added, "Besides, their target is you."
"Also ......," Xiao Yi smiled bitterly.
Nangong Yue stopped Xiao Yi's bleeding and bandaged the wound again, then picked up the sheep's-fat white jade again and was about to speak, but Xiao Yi grabbed it in front of her.
"Haha, stinky girl, are you serious?" Xiao Yi laughed like a cat that had stolen something fishy, as if he had forgotten all about his previous displeasure in the blink of an eye, "What I said before, that was all just a joke. In a few days, it will be your tenth birthday, so this jade pendant will be my birthday present to you!"
