Chapter 292 Prince of Xiling
Jiang Shaoying and Ling Huan looked at each other, and walked towards the place where Shen Jingxuan and Ling Qiong disappeared first, and Ling Huan followed closely behind.
The further they moved forward, the sounds of fighting ahead became clearer.
When the two arrived, the fight was almost over, and Ling Huan hurriedly joined the battle.
In just a few moments, the remaining few were knocked to the ground by Ling Qiong and Ling Huan.
Shen Jingxuan looked at Ling Qiong: "What happened?"
When she just arrived, she saw Ling Qiong fighting with a group of people.
The other side had a large number of people, so she joined them without asking any questions, just because Ling Qiong already had some wounds on her body.
Ling Qiong said: "I don't know either. When I arrived, they were chasing that man and they started to attack me when they saw me."
Shen Jingxuan heard the noise here together with her.
In the past, she would not care about these trivial matters.
It’s just because this place is too close to the courtyard, and we are afraid of disturbing the people in the courtyard and posing a threat to them.
Shen Jingxuan raised her chin slightly: "Ling Huan, go ask them who they are and why they are here."
The closer it got to the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, the more uneasy the capital city became, and they had to be careful when traveling.
Looking at the people lying on the ground, some dead or disabled, Shen Jingxuan actually had a bad premonition.
Ling Huan kicked the person lying on the ground: "Who are you? Why are you here?"
The man seemed not to hear her. He just glanced at her and closed his eyes.
Ling Huan looked at Shen Jingxuan: "Princess, you and Miss Jiang turned your backs?"
In the past, they lived on the edge of a knife and were disgusted with trouble and unwilling to waste time on interrogation.
But thinking of Shen Jingxuan and Jiang Shaoying behind her, she had to think more.
Shen Jingxuan glanced at Jiang Shaoying and asked, "Ying'er?"
She had long been accustomed to life and death, and had done countless such things. She was just afraid that Jiang Shaoying would feel uncomfortable.
Seeing Jiang Shaoying nod slightly at her, Shen Jingxuan said calmly, "Do it."
The knife came down and the man on the ground groaned, still not intending to speak.
Seeing that he seemed to be used to it, Ling Qiong frowned slightly, then walked towards the other person with the sword in hand.
After asking several people, I still couldn't get the answer I wanted.
“Don’t... don’t waste... your energy...” the man managed to utter several sentences in a halting manner.
Shen Jingxuan frowned and looked at the man, only to see that the man was wearing a bloodstained white shirt that was already dirty and torn beyond recognition, his face was pale, and he looked like he would die at any time after saying just one sentence.
"Why don't you tell me about it?" Shen Jingxuan said.
Since he was being hunted, he must know the reason and who were hunting him.
The man had seen Shen Jingxuan's skills, and had also seen how she remained fearless in the face of danger just now.
Seeing her asking him calmly at this moment, he suddenly laughed.
"Western...Western Ling people."
Shen Jingxuan looked calm, but her heart was in turmoil.
Xie Lingxiao had just said a few days ago that there would be chaos in the capital, and people from other countries might arrive early, but he didn't expect that they would arrive so long in advance.
Seeing that he was speaking incoherently and with difficulty, Shen Jingxuan took out a silver needle and went forward to stop his bleeding, then handed the healing medicine to Ling Qiong and asked her to give it to the man.
Half a minute later, the man said, "Thank you for your help, young lady."
Shen Jingxuan narrowed her eyes and said, "You know this is not what I want to hear."
Save him? She would not cause trouble for a stranger for no reason. She just didn't want to delay any longer and wanted to know what she wanted to know as soon as possible.
The man raised his eyebrows slightly: "They are from Xiling, just to hunt me down."
Shen Jingxuan asked: "Are you from Xiling, or are you a prince?"
She had never known the conditions of other countries, and did not know how many princes and princesses there were in other countries, nor did she know their names.
For the Xiling people to go to such great lengths to hunt him down, and for them to still not let him go even after he was so badly injured, it could only be a fight between the princes, right?
Traveling far away to a foreign country and dying, it would be extremely difficult to find out the reason even if you want to afterwards.
"You have good eyesight, young lady. This is the Crown Prince Song Shao of Xiling."
"Now that you are seriously injured, you should contact your close associates as soon as possible to avoid being hunted down again."
Shen Jingxuan turned around and walked back the way she came: "Let's go back."
Now that the Xiling Kingdom has sneaked in, the other two countries may be on the way. She has to return home early to discuss countermeasures with Xie Lingxiao.
Song Shao hurriedly asked: "Miss, can you take me into the city? It is inconvenient for me to contact my confidants at this time."
He has been hunted down ever since he left Xiling Country. There are only a few people left around him, and none of them are around anymore.
As for contact, he had no way to get in touch in a short time, so he could only hide his identity and enter the city, waiting for the arrival of the envoy team.
Shen Jingxuan said: "Do you know that when traveling, the most taboo thing is to trust others easily?"
"Do you know that if you reveal your identity so easily, you might end up getting killed?"
"I believe in you, girl." Song Shao said.
As the crown prince, how could he not understand what Shen Jingxuan said? But for some reason, he inexplicably believed that the woman in front of him would not harm him.
Shen Jingxuan taunted, "I hope Prince Xiling doesn't regret it."
How can two people who have never met each other trust each other? It's just a temporary situation.
"Kill them."
"So as not to cause you any trouble."
Their eyes met, and Shen Jingxuan looked at him deeply, then asked Ling Huan to take Song Shao back to the courtyard together.
Yun Qingmo and the other two were waiting anxiously at the back of the courtyard.
Seeing Shen Jingxuan and Jiang Shaoying return, Chen Yi asked worriedly, "What happened? Why did you take so long?"
Shen Jingxuan said: "It's okay, saving someone will delay me for a while."
"Let's go back to the city first and talk to you on the way."
After this happened, she no longer had the heart to travel and just wanted to return home as soon as possible.
On the way back to the city, Shen Jingxuan told Chen Yi what had happened. Jiang Shaoying sat quietly by the side, saying nothing.
Seeing her like this, Shen Jingxuan asked her, "Ying'er, would you like to stay at the Regent's Palace for a few days? Just let Ling Huan go to the palace and let Dad know."
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Shaoying nodded slightly.
The carriage finally entered the city. After everyone said goodbye, Shen Jingxuan's carriage arrived at the clinic.
"Master, have someone arrange a place for him to stay and check his injuries."
After Xue Lao arranged everything, he asked, "Why are the people from Xiling Country with you?"
Shen Jingxuan looked at Master Xue in surprise: "Master, have you been to Xiling?"
"Xiling Kingdom is different from Beiling Kingdom, and the man you saved is the crown prince of Xiling Kingdom."
After hearing what Mr. Xue said, Shen Jingxuan was stunned for a moment.
She had not intended to reveal Song Shao's identity, but she had not expected that the master would recognize him at a glance.
"Master, have you ever met the Crown Prince of Xiling?"
When Mr. Xu heard that Shen Jingxuan came to the clinic, he hurried over. As soon as he stepped into the room, he heard Shen Jingxuan's words.
"Xuan'er, your first master won't tell you this, so your second master will tell you."
