Chapter 149 He is actually a killer!
Chapter 149 He is actually a killer!
To ensure safety, Fang Qingqing asked Cao Ben to stay behind to clean up the mess, while they rode their horses at full speed towards Prince Yu's Mansion.
Tong'er, sitting in the carriage, had a pale face. She really couldn't understand where such a heartless person came from, who actually wanted to do such a cruel thing to the princess! If the fetus was startled, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Fang Qingqing grinned. No wonder Li Zhenting repeatedly told her to stay safely in the palace. She had too many enemies and if she was not careful, something would go wrong.
"Ow ooh..."
Suddenly, a startled horse cried out in her ears. Tong'er hurriedly lifted the curtain and took a look. She immediately hugged Fang Qingqing and used her body to protect the princess's belly, screaming in surprise.
"Princess! There's a frightened horse!"
Fang Qingqing frowned and looked outside. Without thinking, she took out a silver needle from the space and was about to throw it at the frightened horse running towards the carriage!
Suddenly, a man in a black cloak flew towards this side, landed steadily on the frightened horse with a bang, grabbed the reins of the frightened horse with his powerful hands, turned the horse's direction, and then smashed the horse's head with both fists!
The frightened horse's eyeballs popped and blood flowed out of its eyes through its eye sockets. Then its front legs tilted and the horse fell limply to the ground.
It’s Li Zhenting!
She couldn't help but smile. This bastard is still useful!
"Ah... my horse..."
Just as Fang Qingqing was about to lift the curtain to talk to Li Zhenting, she saw a ragged, white-haired, hunchbacked old man running over. Seeing the tall, dark red horse lying on the ground with its limbs moving around, he threw himself on it and sobbed non-stop.
"Ah, my whole family depends on this horse for survival. If it's killed, how can I earn money to buy medicine for my wife and charcoal for the winter? Isn't this just driving me to death?"
The old man was so heartbroken that he was on the verge of fainting. Li Zhenting stood to one side with his fist raised, his face stern, the veins on the back of his hand throbbing, and he still hadn't recovered.
He was filled with fear. If the horse rushed onto the princess's carriage, wouldn't it cause a disaster?
"You still have the nerve to cry! You almost killed someone! The person sitting in the carriage was my pregnant sister-in-law! Which is more important, the horse or the person?"
Bai Lianyi, who arrived later, saw this and ran up without saying a word. She lifted the curtain and confirmed again and again that Fang Qingqing and Tong'er were safe. Then she turned and ran to the old man, grabbed the old man's collar like a chicken, waved her fists and roared fiercely.
"I really don't know. I hope you will have pity on me, my family is poor and I have no one to rely on, and let me go..."
The old man looked terrified and begged for mercy with tears in his eyes.
Now even Fang Qingqing felt a little bit sorry for him. Ordinary people rely on their physical strength to make a living, and the family's livelihood depends entirely on a horse. The accident with the horse was his unintentional mistake, so he cannot be blamed entirely.
"Old Four, let him go, let him go!"
Fang Qingqing spoke out.
"Second sister-in-law, you're too easy to say... I'll spare you for the sake of Second Sister-in-law!"
Bai Lianyi snorted coldly, lowered his fist and threw the old man to the ground.
The old man kept bowing towards the carriage and expressing his gratitude.
"Thank you, thank you. I thank the kind-hearted Bodhisattva. Please accept my greeting... Otherwise, my life wouldn't be enough to pay for it..."
Seeing the old man lowering his head and wiping his tears as he walked towards the carriage, Fang Qingqing waved her hand, signaling him to leave.
Suddenly, a cold light flashed, and a sharp knife suddenly flew out of the old man's hand and stabbed towards the chest of Fang Qingqing who was sitting in the carriage!
"Princess, be careful!"
A scream was heard, Tong'er hugged Fang Qingqing and protected her safely, and the sharp knife stabbed directly into Tong'er's back!
Tong'er's light yellow clothes were instantly stained with a glaring pool of blood, which quickly spread out. She slumped against Fang Qingqing, no longer having the strength to speak...
"Tong'er!"
Everyone was shocked! Li Zhenting and Bai Lianyi simultaneously swung their swords and jade flutes at the old man!
"Who dares to come over here?"
The old man, who had been hunched over, suddenly stood up straight, leaped into the air, and grabbed Princess Yunqing, who was standing on the side of the carriage! He pulled out a sharp blade from his waist and pressed it against Yunqing's neck.
"If you dare come over here, I'll chop off her head!"
At this moment, his face was full of ferocity, no longer the pitiful old man crying and wailing!
How could I have been so careless? How could I have been deceived by him? He was not a poor old man who supported his family by doing hard labor. He was clearly a vicious criminal!
"You're so bold! Do you know who you're holding hostage? She's the current Princess Yunqing!"
Xuan Qingshan was so anxious that his face turned pale.
When they came out, Yun Qing insisted on riding with him, saying that they could talk and chat on the way. When they came back, worried about the princess's safety in the carriage, he and Yun Qing rode on either side of the carriage, while the little cat and Tong'er sat inside.
But something happened in the end!
"I want Fang Qingqing's life! I don't want to hurt anyone else! As long as Fang Qingqing comes out to exchange for her, I will definitely let her go!"
The killer gritted his teeth and roared.
"Anyway, if I mess with you wealthy families, I'll die anyway! If Fang Qingqing doesn't come out, I'll have to take someone with me when I die! Look! How sharp is my blade!"
As he spoke, he pressed the sharp blade in his hand hard against Yun Qing's neck. A wound immediately appeared and bright red blood was seen oozing out from the wound on Yun Qing's neck.
"No, no, sister-in-law, don't come down, don't..."
Seeing Fang Qingqing gently put Tong'er down, Yun Qing shouted hurriedly.
"How dare you speak!"
The man raised his fist and hit Yun Qing hard in the lower abdomen!
"what……"
After a painful groan, Yun Qing's face turned pale and he squatted down in pain, his facial features distorted in pain.
"She's Princess Yunqing! You're so brave!"
Xuan Qingshan's forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat. He held the iron fan in his hand and wanted to move but did not dare to act rashly. He squeezed out a word from between his teeth, and the blue veins on his forehead bulged out.
"What a grand spectacle! The princess rides a horse and Fang Qingqing rides in a carriage! Fang Qingqing, just how powerful are you that so many people are willing to work like slaves for you? You're a monster bringing disaster to the country and its people. Get out now! If you don't come out, I'll chop off this princess's head!"
As he spoke, he grabbed Yun Qing's hair and stood up. Then he picked up the sharp blade in his hand and slapped Princess Yun Qing on the cheek.
Fang Qingqing quickly helped Tong'er, who was stabbed by the dagger, to stop the bleeding. She looked at Tong'er, whose face was pale and unconscious, with heartache in her eyes, and quietly told the frightened little civet cat to help take care of Tong'er. She bent down and pretended to get out of the car.
"Qing'er..."
Li Zhenting's heart skipped a beat. Yun Qing had to be rescued, but Qing'er must not be allowed to get into any harm!
"Very well! Pregnant woman, come here, and I will return the princess to you!"
"Get out of here! Let Fang Qingqing come here alone!"
The wicked man roared at Li Zhenting fiercely, pressing the dagger in his hand against Yun Qing's neck even harder...
