NOVEL NEXT Chapter 97
Chapter 97: Yan Lingji’s moment of heart-pounding, is this protection?
In the alley, Yan Lingji’s eyes widened instantly!
Her jade back was tightly pressed against the cold wall, almost forming the same straight line as the upright wall.
She stared at Li Mo’s face, who was very close to her. This guy… is he trying to wall-slam me?
Yan Lingji’s brain suddenly went blank. Isn’t this a main street?! You can’t kiss on the main street, what if someone sees us?
Should I close my eyes? Or should I be like Jing Ni! Never been kissed, will he bite me?
Yan Lingji was in a daze for a while, and she didn’t even think about pushing him away. When she finally remembered to act, Li Mo suddenly leaned in closer.
The two hearts beat together. Yan Lingji could feel Li Mo, but Li Mo couldn’t feel her. It’s too thick, he can’t feel it!
Yan Lingji’s eyes almost popped out! Damn, can’t breathe!
“Don’t move, there’s a Forbidden Army.”
Li Mo’s gentle voice softly rang in her ear. Like a lullaby, it brought tranquility to her heart.
So, that’s it!
Yan Lingji finally understood, he wasn’t trying to wall-slam her. It was because he noticed the Forbidden Army walking towards them.
Worried that she would be discovered. So, he was protecting her?
Then, just don’t move. Li Mo wrapped Yan Lingji’s whole body in his arms. Yan Lingji’s chin rested perfectly on his broad shoulder, and she could hear his steady breathing in her ear.
Hitting the earlobe feels a bit itchy.
The breath in the nose is his, making people very comfortable.
This feeling, so warm.
So fulfilling!
So secure!
It’s like there’s a mountain ahead that can shelter from wind and rain.
Ever since Tianze joined the Red Eyebrow Dragon Snake Army, she has only told them one truth.
To survive, one must rely on oneself.
Therefore, over the years since joining the Red Eyebrow Dragon Snake Army, she has never experienced what it’s like to be protected.
So, she is lonely!
In this world, she has no friends, no relatives.
There are only a few surviving members of the Red Eyebrow Dragon Snake Army, hiding with nowhere to call home.
Wushuang Gui never speaks, and Shiji Jingling is not good with words.
Forget about the Bai Duwang, that old nasty guy, when he speaks, his voice sounds like a broken bellows, so unpleasant.
So, the only joy of Yan Lingji has become sitting on the treetops and watching the sunset.
Until she met Jing Ni.
Although sometimes cold, they could finally communicate normally.
And later…
Later, she met this guy.
The arguments with him in this period of time added up to more words than she had said in the previous year.
Initially, she was dissatisfied that he didn’t rank her highly, but after knowing the reason, she was actually touched by him.
And now…
“Is this what protection is?”
Yan Lingji blinked blankly.
It seemed like she had been protected by him for the second time!
“It’s over, hey, why are you so stupid?”
Feeling a long column of soldiers leaving, Li Mo straightened up.
“Ah? Oh, oh.”
Yan Lingji came back to her senses abruptly, her eyes wandering aimlessly.
In the large eye sockets, her eyeballs moved around for a while, before stealthily landing on Li Mo.
Her thoughts were completely elsewhere just now, she didn’t even notice the passing soldiers.
It wasn’t until the two of them walked out of the alley and watched the soldiers walk away that she realized something was wrong.
“It seems to be the royal guards from the palace, has the Han Emperor left the palace?”
A hint of killing intent flashed in Yan Lingji’s eyes.
Baiyue will perish, although the main culprit is Ji Wuye.
But without the Han Emperor’s permission, he wouldn’t dare to deploy troops at will.
That would be no different from outright rebellion.
Li Mo sensed her killing intent and shook his head, saying, “It’s not the Han Emperor, it’s the Han Prince.”
Yan Lingji turned her head, curiosity creeping into her tone, “How do you know?”
Li Mo pursed his lips and explained, “The Emperor has a six-horse carriage, while the princes and the crown prince have five-horse carriages. The one that just passed was a five-horse carriage.”
Yan Lingji thought for a moment, then suddenly said, “Then kill him too, the sons of bitches are all the same.”
Li Mo nodded appreciatively, “Hmm, the female warrior is bold, I like it.”
Before Yan Lingji could glare at him, he continued, “But if we kill him, we won’t be able to rescue Tianze.”
Confused, Yan Lingji looked at him.
What does rescuing Tianze have to do with anything?
“Do you remember I told you before, Ji Wuye needs an opportunity to prove his ability as a general to the Han Emperor?” Li Mo pointed to the distant team, “The opportunity is here now.”
Using the emperor to command the princes was not the first time it happened during the Eastern Han Dynasty.
It can be said that once a person reaches a high position, almost every powerful minister will consider such matters.
The current Crown Prince and the Grand General Ji Wuye are on the same side.
It was Ji Wuye who supported him in becoming the Crown Prince.
Not because this Crown Prince was exceptionally talented.
On the contrary, it was precisely because he was weak and incompetent that Ji Wuye supported him!
Only such a person without any opinions can be more easily controlled by Ji Wuye!
Now because of the Wei Empire matter, Ji Wuye’s prestige in the Han Empire has plummeted.
To restore his reputation, he needs to prove himself.
If the Crown Prince is kidnapped and he rescues the Crown Prince, his reputation will soar both in court and in the public eye.
And the one who kidnaps him is naturally Tianze, who has deep enmity with the Han Empire!
In terms of motive, he fits.
In terms of skill, he also fits.
Ji Wuye will naturally not be so foolish as to just let Tianze go like that.
This is a fierce tiger, once it is released, there is a danger of it getting out of control.
So, he had already prepared before letting the tiger out.
However, Ji Wuye is no longer satisfied with just restoring his reputation!
His real target this time is the Han Emperor!
If the Han Emperor dies, the crown prince will inherit the throne and become a puppet in his hands.
By then, the whole of Han will be under his control!
If the prince is assassinated on the road, he can use the prince’s safety as a reason to remove the imperial guards.
By then, the Han royal palace will be left defenseless.
Once the Han Emperor dies, the new Emperor ascends.
The world will belong to him, Ji Wuye.
As for the murderer, it is naturally the rebel of the Baiyue.
It was Tianze who made the killer kill the Han Emperor.
What does it have to do with Ji Wuye?
Ji Wuye spent so much money, raised so many people in the palace, isn’t it just waiting to be used today!
It can be said that as long as Tian Ze makes a move, his chances are half successful!
Neat and heavy footsteps echoed in the streets.
A luxurious carriage slowly traveled on the road.
The carriage was surrounded by hundreds of battle-tested imperial guards.
The Han prince sat in the spacious carriage, with two palace maids serving him attentively.
One maid handed him a plate of fruit.
As soon as he finished eating, another maid brought a cup of fine wine.
Before the Han prince could speak, the carriage suddenly came to an abrupt stop.
The maid, unstable, spilled a full cup of wine on him.
“??? Please spare me prince, spare me prince!”
The maid was suddenly scared, pale-faced, trembling, and kneeling on the ground pleading for mercy.
The Han prince’s eyes were filled with rage, just as he was about to erupt, there was a burst of shouting outside the carriage!
Cutting.
