Chapter 88
Heartbreak
But they were just barely rushing towards Murong Shu Qing, but they were not closed to her side yet, when there were suddenly a rain of arrows that were piercing through that made them to withdraw back. The woman fiercely opened her eyes, but could only see that at a place above, there were about several dozens of black masked bodyguards standing, they were holding bows and arrows on their hands that were pointed at them.
The appearance of the black bodyguards made the position was reversed in a flash, the black clothing people and the woman were surrounded in the middle. Murong Shu Qing just planned to ask where Zi Yuan was again, when a melodious and clear voice of a man said smilingly: “I have said it earlier, if one can easily deal with her like this, she will not be called Murong Shu Qing.”
Murong Shu Qing raised her head to look towards the source of the voice, several dozen of people appeared in a flash from behind the mountain rocks that surrounded the white snow mountain range. These people did not have any complicated black clothing, they were only wearing the same dark blue servant attires. But since they were able to stand in silence like this, it showed that they appeared to be the experts, one could be seen clearly that they were out of the ordinary. The most eye-catching among them were the two men, one was wearing a faint blue brocade robe, his long hair was bound with a white jade crown, his face was cultured and refined, as if it was bathing with a warm spring smile. Beside him was a man who was wearing a plain red clothing, he had a slender figure, a living person would not come close to him, that pair of eyes could not be described as cold, but they were similar as if one was looking face to face with him and one’s soul was being absorbed by them.
Murong Shu Qing forced a smile when she looked at the group of people who suddenly appeared, everything was confirmed in front of her eyes with the old saying, the mantis stalked the cicada, but unaware of the oriole behind (to pursue a narrow gain while neglecting a greater danger). It looked like today was really not a good day. After Mo Can detected these people, he pulled her to go behind him. Murong Shu Qing walked out from behind Mo Can, and looked face to face at him with a smile, she stood next to him, and when she looked towards the blue dress man, she could still show that shallow smile and said: “Yan Emperor (Yan from Yan Ru, the other country), it is very rare.” It had been three years, she thought that she would not meet him again, who would have thought that they could still meet today. If her opponent was him, she did not have any a.s.surance as this person had sophisticate schemes that were extremely deep.
Hong Ming softly knitted his eyebrows, she actually still remembered him, that quick look from three years ago, he was so wrong to look at this ordinary and inexperience young girl. His gentle voice showed a polite smile: “It is worth it for Miss Murong Shu Qing.”
He was worthy of the virtuous praise from all the people ah, he would forever have that gentleness and politeness, if only that eyes were tranquil and benevolent, he was indeed a good fortune for the common people. Murong Shu Qing calmly said: “Yan Emperor moves these many experts like this, Shu Qing is flattered.”
“Miss Murong is really courteous. It is not easy to meet with you.”
Murong Shu Qing smilingly looked one glance at these people shadows who almost filled the mountain top, she mockingly said: “Yan Emperor brings this big forces like this today, and also appears in person, are you planning to chat with me while appreciating the snow?!”
Hong Ming softly smiled and did not get angry with her sarcasm, consciously smoothed his sleeve, he smilingly said: “Can I not?”
They were naturally chatting as if they were old friends who just met together, and appeared to completely disregard the strange atmosphere within the perimeter and its clear murderous auras. But it was a pity that someone’s unpleasantly did not like their hypocritical intentions, and the violent undercurrent, so he impatiently said: “Are you guys done with your long-winded words?”
This person’s voice and his figure actually matched together, it was the same as if the cold wind was pa.s.sing through, so Murong Shu Qing still felt that Mo Can’s cold stare was somewhat adorable. The shaping of the human character, environments and fate had close connections, Murong Shu Qing did not have any choice but to sigh, could it be that they would run into this bad luck?! But this person was also very intelligent, in any case, Hong Ming was a monarch for one country, but he still spoke to him rudely.
“Miss Murong, what do you think?”
His implication and his pulsing eyes were sparkling, one could clearly understand his intention, but Murong Shu Qing softly shook her head, could it be that they thought to posses her body or casually give a status, so they could just trap her! Conveniently patting the snowflakes on her shoulder, Murong Shu Qing turned it down: “The condition of your collaboration does not really attract me.”
Did she really think that she had the qualification to discuss the term with him?! Hong Ming casually swept one glance at the people who were at Murong Shu Qing’s side, the archers who were behind them immediately aimed the arrows at them. With a gentle tone that could make people who listened to it, felt gloomy: “I know that you are not afraid to die, but did you also not care about their lives?!”
“Yan Emperor has used them to threaten me earlier, maybe if you use the right approach, it will lead to a better result. But do you really think of me as a child who has not undergone affairs of life? You come to Dong Yu and can not let people know it, if I go to Yan Rui, then I can not let people know even more. So no matter what my answer will be, they all must die.” If she submitted to them and could exchange their lives, it would not matter, anyway, there was no difference in going anywhere. Moreover, with Mo Can and Yan Yu’s abilities to completely prepare, so they naturally could save her, but how could this Hong Ming hide this danger!
“Murong Shu Qing, it is actually unfortunate that you are a woman. Since you already know it, then there is no need to put any pointless resistance. If I can not use you, then there is only a dead road for you.”
Following Hong Ming’s order, the scene became somewhat chaotic, the former black clothing people who were following the woman, came rushing towards them. Yan Yu, Mo Can and her secret bodyguards who were waiting at the mountain ridge, were battling with Hong Ming’s subordinates. But they had a lot more people so they occupied a better position, the secret bodyguards were gradually not as strong anymore. From time to time, she and Lu Yi were shot by arrows that were blocked by Mo Can one after another.
Murong Shu Qing looked at the situation in front of her, she could not help to pucker her eyebrows again. This was not a way to continue to battle like this as she had no hands of winning at all, so she wanted to break the deadlock.
Within the wind and snow, Murong Shu Qing did not let herself to be affected by the bright swords that were in front of her, and she thought deeply on what she should do to come out of the siege.
Hong Ming must admit in his heart that Murong Shu Qing was certainly the most remarkable woman whom he had ever seen. In this world, there were women who had a lot resourceful, were strong and brave, were not afraid of death, but she was the kind who cherished other people, was warm-hearted, full of wisdom in her heart, and intelligent, the kind that he had not seen before. In the middle of the snowflakes that were floating down from the sky, she was standing there alone. She actually looked even more beautiful. He really was not willing for her to die, but the man who was beside him did not seem to be happy if Murong Shu Qing was alive. One could see that the two blue clothing men who were always standing behind him, slightly gave a hint, then the two people’s figures were flying rapidly as if ghosts, and they went straight to Mo Can.
Both of their martual arts were very high, so when they were tangling with him, Mo Can was fully occupied, at this time, a strong and powerful long arrow that could not be avoided by anybody shot out. The person who shot the arrow was the cold face and purple-red dress man, and his target was to force Murong Shu Qing to the edge of the cliffs.
