Chapter 296 The Queen Mother Fainted

At dusk, the endless tents were dyed dark red by the setting sun.

The big dark horse who followed the Night Terror Hall for thousands of miles slowly walked out of the dead crowd and entered the equally silent market.

Ye Jingtang sat on the horse holding the black king's flag, looking at both sides of the street with his peripheral vision, his frown did not relax as he walked out of the venue.

Killing Sima Yue today was purely a preemptive move to eliminate future troubles. As a wanderer from Liangzhou, he only had a foster father in his heart, and he really couldn't find much sympathy for the love and hatred he had before he was born.

Although the clan leaders of the tribes in Xihai each have their own thoughts, the ordinary people living here are different.

Beiliang imposed heavy taxes and forcibly captured young men, but they could not tax the rulers or capture the families of clan leaders; these tyranny and heavy taxes all fell on the shoulders of the common people living in the tribes in the West Sea.

Ye Jingtang didn't care what the clan leaders thought, but when he walked out of the venue, he clearly noticed the eyes of the sheepherders, Lifu, and old medicine farmers, which showed a kind of unreasonable admiration, trust and desire.

This desire came from the comfortable days decades ago, from the third generation of Tianlang King who regarded his tribe as his relatives.

He didn't know these three people, and he didn't even have any idea about them, but they obviously regarded him as the same person as those three people.

This was such an invisible pressure that Ye Jingtang, who had always had a clear conscience, felt like a lump in his throat, making it difficult to look into the eyes of these strangers.

Hoof-clack, hoof-clack...

Night Terror Hall passed through the silent crowd, turned around the corner, and walked into a deserted alley.

At this time, Xiao Yunli, who was following behind and pretending to be a follower, saw that there was no one around, so he ran over excitedly, leaped directly, and landed behind the big black horse, and hugged Ye Jingtang's neck with both hands. A poached egg hit, and then popped right in the face.

"Eh eh eh?!"

In the Night Hall, where he was worrying about his country and his people, when he saw the increasingly enlarged and flexible cheeks, his face suddenly changed in shock, and he quickly raised his hand to cover Xiao Yunli's lips:

"Heroes... No, Yunli! What are you doing? Do you want me to break my legs if you are my master?!"

Zhe Yunli rushed forward without kissing her, then remembered what she was doing, turned red and took it back, then grabbed the robe on both sides of Ye Jingtang's ribs, and chirped:

"Brother Jing, you are really amazing! If the master's wife were here, she would definitely turn into a happy monkey..."

? !

Ye Jingtang's face must have darkened when he saw Yun Li harming his wife like this. He raised his hand and flicked Yun Li's head:

"What nonsense are you talking about? How old a girl is, she doesn't know how to be subtle."

Zhe Yunli Jian Ye Jingtang likes to be subtle, and her temperament can be said to change instantly. She stopped her hand and stirred a strand of hair beside her ear, and her eyebrows were full of spring:

"What Brother Jing Cang taught me is that, my sister, I can't help myself. When I get carried away, I still look to Cousin Jing~..."

Oh my god...

Ye Jingtang's feelings about his family and country just now were completely released, and his bones were half frozen. He quickly raised his hand:

"Okay, okay! Stop talking, what should I do if people hear me..."

Zhe Yunli chuckled and tried his best to suppress the emotions that were full of little stars in his heart, but he still sat behind the saddle and refused to get off. He also touched left and right, which was not honest at all.

Ye Jingtang tried to persuade her a few times, but there was nothing he could do, so he let her go. When he was looking for Benben and the others, he saw Fan Qinghe walking out quickly from behind the crowd. After looking around from a high place, he looked directly Came to him.

When Zhe Yunli saw the person coming, he reluctantly stopped and quickly jumped off the horse...

——

Ye Jingtang got off his horse and took a few steps forward when Fan Qinghe held up the skirt of the high priest's uniform and trotted up to him.

From yesterday to today, Fan Qinghe was exhausted mentally and physically. She was planning to step down as the clan leader and get over the matter. Suddenly, a hero appeared from the Night Terror Hall to save the beauty and solved the matter so perfectly. It was beyond her expectation. .

The look in Fan Qinghe's eyes was very similar to that of Xiao Yunli, which made Ye Jingtang wonder if she was also going to rush over and lick him.

Fortunately, Fan Qinghe was more mature and Yunli was behind him, so he didn't dare to act like a crazy girl. He quickly came up to him and looked at the Night Terror Hall. He murmured something on his lips, but nothing happened for a long time. When I said it, my eye circles turned red.

Ye Jingtang knows that there are hundreds of tribes that are in charge of their own affairs, and the tribe leaders must have their own little thoughts, but Fan Qinghe is different. He is really dissatisfied with the rule of Beiliang and wants to work hard so that he and his tribe can stand up in the future. alive.

This can be seen from her experience. If Fan Qinghe is a dignified queen and wants to have good food and clothing, her life will not be much worse than Benben.

But just after she took over, she traveled alone and anonymously throughout the Beiliang rivers and lakes, taking risks and sneaking into major sects to search for clues to the Tianlang Pearl. She was even chased by Master Xuanji for a year without giving up her goal.

A woman who covets glory and wealth will never be able to do these things.

But because of this, Ye Jingtang understood better how much Fan Qinghe expected from him. Facing that red look, he thought about it and said with a smile:

"I didn't say anything just now. Miss Fan is kind to me. As long as Beiliang and even other ministries dare to bully Miss Fan, I will come to support her alone..."

Fan Qinghe bit his red lips lightly, and after holding it in for a long time, he raised his hand and gave Ye Jingtang a warm hug:

"Thank you Mr. Ye, you have done enough. Now even if you have no intention of inheriting the throne, Beiliang will not dare to exploit you as much as before. You are already the benefactor of the tribes in the West Sea.

"Actually, apart from blood, the tribes of Xihai have given you nothing. If all the tribes were really united, how could King Tianlang be buried in the Liaoyuan.

"I know the virtues of the tribes in the West Sea, but I was born when the Royal Court was in decline. I have never seen the prosperity of the Royal Court. I only saw the oppression of us by the Beiliang people and the lack of food of the tribe.

"I wanted to make life better, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't do it. I searched everywhere, all over the world, hoping to bring my people back to life like the Qinchi tribe, but there was no way. Until I met You...woo..."

Fan Qinghe ended up crying, his chin resting on Ye Jingtang's shoulder, and his tears dripped directly onto his clothes.

Ye Jingtang was hugged firmly, and it was inevitable to feel a little embarrassed when he raised his hands slightly, but he soon realized that the hug was just a simple thank you, and did not contain any feelings between men and women, so he relaxed a little.

Fan Qinghe was very excited. Although Ye Jingtang did not grow up in the Western Sea ministers and could not empathize with Fan Qinghe's growth, he was born in Liangzhou.

Liangzhou borders the Xihai tribes, and the living conditions on the two sides are not much different. There may be fertile areas, but most of them are barren mountains and rivers without any vegetation. The taxes of the Xihai tribes are much heavier than those in Liangzhou.

If someone could stand up and open a canal for Liangzhou, exempt taxes, quell banditry, and make everyone's life more comfortable, then the people of Liangzhou would feel similar to Fan Qinghe.

Ye Jingtang hesitated for a moment, raised his hand and patted Fan Qinghe's back:

"I just followed the trend and didn't help the suffering. The girl treated me as a Bodhisattva, which I really can't bear. So what, um..."

Ye Jingtang wanted Fan Qinghe to let go of his embrace, but was afraid of making her feel disgusted.

But Fan Qinghe was really not that young. He stood on tiptoes and hung his arms around his neck, with all the weight on his chest. He was still sobbing and shaking.

There were only two thin pieces of clothing separating each other, and Ye Jingtang was rubbed so hard that he could even feel his bulge. As a man, how could he not be distracted.

But the girl burst into tears with gratitude, and he couldn't help thinking that he was a hypocrite...

Yunli, who was in the distance, pouted slightly when she saw this scene, a little unhappy. She probably meant - you are such a startling cousin, you are reluctant to let go when a girl hugs you, but you feel disgusted when I hug you...

Fortunately, this indescribable pain did not last long.

When Fan Qinghe was choking and speaking, he suddenly spotted two white figures coming towards him from the corner of his eye. The one in front was a big figure with his head held high, and the one in the back was looking at Xiao Shuishui...

? !

Fan Qinghe's crying expression was stunned for a moment, then he quickly released his hand and turned around, wiping the corners of his eyes, pretending to be a majestic queen to avoid being misunderstood.

Ye Jingtang looked back and found that Da Benben had an approving expression, but his eyes were somewhat meaningful. He couldn't help but cough lightly and stepped forward:

"Your Highness."

It was also the first time for Dongfang Liren to see Ye Jingtang fight against Wu Kui with his own eyes. Although he was very excited, but outsiders were present, the prince was still very energetic. He raised his hand to straighten Ye Jingtang's collar that was messed up:

"You performed well. After today, Beiliang will definitely have to guard against you. The people here are also grateful to you. But..."

When Dongfang Liren said this, a dangerous aura flashed in his eyes, and he leaned a little closer:

"You have such great marksmanship, why are you hiding it and not teaching me?"

?

Ye Jingtang blinked his eyes, a little confused:

"Which move?"

Dongfang Liren held the ring with his left hand, passed his right index finger through it, and thrust in and out quickly:

"It's just swish swish... eh!"

? ? ?

Before he finished speaking, Ye Jingtang quickly pressed down Silly Clumsy's hand, with a rather strange expression on his face, and thought for a moment and said:

"Hmm... I'll teach His Highness this move privately, but it's actually not an advanced marksmanship."

Dongfang Liren obviously didn't realize what Ye Jingtang was thinking of, and he nodded and smiled:

"It can make Sima Yue difficult to parry, and Sima Yue can also force you to retreat. How could it not be a profound move..."

Master Xuanji might have a rather demonic mind, so he stood in front of him with his arms folded. After a little reflection, he really understood why Ye Jingtang suddenly pressed down Li Ren's hand, and his eyes looking at Ye Jingtang became very strange, just like the mother-in-law. Looking at the son-in-law who was full of bad intentions.

However, Xuanji's real person didn't point out this color. She came to Fan Qinghe and pulled out a white handkerchief from her lapel:

"You're so old, and you're still crying. Are you done crying? Do you want a handkerchief?"

Fan Qinghe's face turned cold, but he didn't care about the enchantress. He just twitched his hair around his ears and pretended to be looking at the scenery.

Ye Jingtang saw two people chatting and didn't pay attention behind him. Dabenben was helping him arrange his clothes in front of him again. After a moment's hesitation, he suddenly lowered his head and kissed the red lips that were very close to him.

?

Dongfang Liren was stunned for a moment, and then Yingqi's cheeks quickly turned red, and his eyes were a little angry.

However, when he saw from the corner of his eye that the master didn't notice, he naturally didn't care about it and just lowered his head and hummed nonchalantly.

Ye Jingtang had a smile on his lips, and was about to secretly reward Benben again, when he suddenly found Yunli standing not far away, leaning against the wall with his arms folded over his chest, with a blade of grass in his mouth, looking carefree. , the look in his eyes was quite complicated. When he noticed that he was looking over, he moved his eyes elsewhere.

"cough……"

The Night Terror Hall felt that it was not appropriate to be frivolous and stupid here in broad daylight, so he thought about letting a few girls go back to their base first and then consider these things in private.

But what people didn't expect was that when Ye Jingtang was greeting several girls to leave, She Long suddenly ran over from a distance, and Yuanyuan said anxiously:

"It's not good, it's too... Madam fainted!"

"ah?!"

When Ye Jingtang heard this, his expression suddenly changed.

The smiling Dongfang Liren and Xuanji's expressions also froze, and then they flew up and rushed directly towards the direction of the convoy.

Fan Qinghe's confused thoughts disappeared, and he followed the Night Terror Hall to the motorcade, frowning and saying:

"It's impossible. I just checked the Queen Mother this morning. Her physical condition is normal. How could she suddenly faint..."

"I don't know, go and have a look..."

——

The carriage that the Queen Mother was riding in was parked in a secluded area outside the venue. Because Langxuan City was spread out over a flat river, even though it was separated by a wall of people, you could still see what was going on inside from the carriage.

Hongyu had stayed in the palace all year round and had seen martial arts competitions, but such a large-scale competition still shocked her. She stood outside the carriage with her rosy mouth open the whole time and covering her eyes from time to time.

The Queen Mother, who had been starving herself for the whole day, didn't even want to raise her sickly hands. After discovering that Ye Jingtang's martial arts skills were so peerless, she sat up in shock while dying of illness and stood directly in the carriage. , all he had to do was stick out his plump upper body to take a look.

The fight in the venue was earth-shattering, and the Empress Dowager could not understand the secret. Apart from being amazed by the grace of the Night Terror Hall, she was naturally worried about the safety of the Night Terror Hall, and her heartstrings were tense from the beginning to the end.

And when the fight in the Night Terror Hall was over and she said a few domineering words, the Empress Dowager felt her heart beating like a drum and couldn't help but tap her feet lightly and jump a few times.

Then, his body, which was extremely hungry and weak, could no longer support his master's frightened mind, and he fell down when his vision went dark.

Thump~

Hong Yu patronized the Night Terror Hall, and the guards in charge of security nearby also watched with excitement as Lord Ye caused trouble in a foreign country.

When they heard the noise, everyone turned around blankly, and then their expressions changed.

Pei Xiangjun was also around the motorcade. Seeing that the Queen was rushing to find the Night Terror Hall, she naturally did not join in the fun. When she heard something was wrong, she quickly jumped on the carriage and raised the curtain to check.

In the comfortable carriage, the Queen Mother, dressed as a wealthy lady, fell softly on the imperial concubine's couch under the carriage window, her face turned pale, and the telescope in her hand fell to the ground.

"The Queen Mother?"

"Jiji?"

The bird that was keeping watch on the roof of the car flew in through the window and looked at the Queen Mother who was still alive and kicking just a moment ago, her dark eyes full of confusion.

"Go quickly and call Prince Jing and Jingtang over."

After Pei Xiangjun said something, he squatted in the carriage, supported the Queen Mother, and checked the pulse with his hands. He found that it was beating very fast and his body was extremely weak. It must have been caused by exhaustion and stimulation...

Pei Xiangjun was not a doctor, so he couldn't see much, so he looked outside again.

Swish swish——

But in the blink of an eye, several figures landed near the carriage.

As a miracle doctor, Fan Qinghe was naturally the first to rush in, hold the Queen Mother's wrist, and check her eyelids.

Ye Jingtang couldn't force her way into the car, but stood outside the car window and said anxiously:

"How is it? Is there any danger?"

"Um……"

Fan Qinghe has excellent medical skills and has seen all kinds of situations, but the current pulse condition is indeed a bit outrageous. She thought for a while:

"The body is too weak, and the mood fluctuates too much in a short period of time, which leads to fainting. This may be related to the Queen Mother's loss of appetite and inability to eat. If she doesn't eat, she will definitely faint from hunger over time... The book does not say that Prisoner of Dragon Miasma will It affects appetite, and I can’t figure out the specific cause.”

The Night Terror Hall was afraid that the Queen Mother would fall into a coma and not wake up. If she did, she would not be able to use the golden scale diagram, nor would she be able to take the medicine prescribed by the old wizard.

Seeing that the condition of the Queen Mother, who was fine in the morning, suddenly worsened, Ye Jingtang thought for a while and said:

"Is there a good horse here? The kind that can travel thousands of miles in a day. I will send the Queen Mother to Hongshan now, and you will set off immediately and follow from behind. The antidote to the poison has been found. If something goes wrong at this time..."

"The Wu Horse Department should have good horses. I'll borrow them."

After Fan Qinghe finished speaking, he quickly got out of the carriage and ran towards the venue.

Dongfang Liren was also afraid that all his hard work would be in vain, so he turned around and said:

"Shang Jianli, you go and hand over the matter to Cao Aning and the others, and also inform Dongfang Shangqing and ask him to return to Liangzhou as soon as possible. The others quickly packed their things and set off immediately."

"promise!"

Shang Jianli immediately took orders to take the people to deal with the finishing work, while the others got on their horses and escorted the convoy towards the outside of the city...

——

On the other side, in the market outside the venue.

Duanbeiya Chen He, who was dressed as a normal businessman, stood at a high place where he could see the venue from a distance, and looked at the situation inside from a distance. He was surprised, but also had a hint of realization on his face:

"The yellow dragon lies on the road, the green dragon offers its claws... You are a red flower tower. It has not sounded for ten years, but as soon as it appears, such a big dragon appears..."

The fellow disciple next to him clasped his hands behind his back and frowned:

"If Ye Silang is Ye Jingtang, he may be in big trouble. Ye Jingtang is the 'Marquis of Wu'an' personally designated by the imperial court. The fact that he has the word 'Wu'an' is enough to show that the imperial court appreciates him. I am sure of Duanbeiya's background." He can't compare with him. He defeated the Xuanyuan Dynasty and killed Lu Jieyun and Sima Yue. His martial arts skills are definitely ranked among the top of the Eight Chiefs. If the leader of the gang confronts him head-on, the outcome will probably be very different..."

Chen He was still calm: "I, a disciple of Duanbeiya, have been serving the imperial court for generations. The imperial court has no justifiable reasons, so he dare not take action without authorization. However, Ye Jingtang is the young master of the Qinchi tribe, and Hu Yanjing also said that the young master of the Qinchi tribe wants to buy it. Scaled steel, then this must be a bait from the imperial court..."

"The court has already found out about us?"

"not yet."

Chen He stood with his hands behind his hands, his eyes showing a bit of joy:

"Hu Yanjing doesn't know our exact identities. We originally made an appointment to meet yesterday, but luckily we didn't see anyone, otherwise we might have been targeted."

"But Ye... Ye Jingtang killed everyone at the door yesterday..."

Chen He frowned, as if looking at a fool:

"Who is the person in the Night Terror Hall? The commander of the Black Yamen, one of the eight great leaders of the contemporary era, whose scheming, understanding, and martial arts attainments are far beyond ordinary people. If he knew that we were sellers, how could he act like a reckless man on the street and suddenly come to my door and beat me up? Just leave immediately? What is he trying to do? Is he deliberately trying to scare us away, afraid that we will be kept in the dark and not know that the court is investigating us? "

"..."

The disciple thought for a while and felt that it was the same. If the Night Terror Hall, which has both black and white, was so rough, it would not have lived so long.

If he suddenly came to the door and beat Chen He yesterday, he must not have known that Duanbeiya was the seller.

"Then why didn't the Night Terror Hall meet up for a deal in the end?"

"Didn't you see the battle today? Maybe you were attracted by the incident of Gou Chen. Fortunately, we didn't meet each other, otherwise we would have really fallen into the trap of the government..."

"Then what should we do next?"

Chen He thought for a moment, turned around and walked back:

"The Xuanyuan Dynasty beat Ye Jingtang's adoptive father and saved his life, so Ye Jingtang also spared his life. This is called a clean life; and when the leader of the gang killed the new red God of Wealth in the ring, Ye Jingtang also saved his life. Regardless of whether it was because of his inheritance or because he wanted to be the leader of the spear, he would be beaten to death if he met him. If he didn't kill him, he would not retain his reputation as a chivalrous person, but he would be dishonoring his reputation as a disciple.

"If the smuggling matter is discovered by the court, the entire Duanbeiya will be implicated. Since this battle is unavoidable, it is best to take advantage of the fact that the enemy is visible and I am secretly attacking first. I will write a letter to the gang leader and read it. Let’s see how to solve it.”

The doorman nodded thoughtfully, turned to look at the fleet of cars going away, and asked again:

"They seem to be preparing to leave the city. Do you want to send someone to follow them?"

"With these people under our command, following Wu Kui, wouldn't it be just to alert the enemy?"

Chen He raised his hand and tapped his temple:

"You have to rely on your brain to do things. Ye Jingtang has said such harsh words to the tribes in Xihai. If he doesn't run back to Wei Dynasty now, the Four Sages of Beiliang may come together to let him understand whose territory this is.

"Ye Jingtang has returned to Liangzhou, either to return to the capital or to go to Hongshan to find trouble with Jiang Zahu. The Hongshan gang is engaged in smuggling business, and it is the duty of Ye Jingtang to go and investigate.

"Secondly, didn't he just say, 'Sima Yue led him to Huangming Mountain and wanted Jiang Zahu to kill him, but he failed.' This shows that Ye Jingtang and Jiang Zahu met in Huangming Mountain and were still intact. Come back and definitely have the upper hand.

"As the saying goes, 'It is not a gentleman to retaliate for revenge.' Jiang Zahu, a bandit, offended the powerful Ye Jingtang. Ye Jingtang just returned to Liangzhou. Could he kill the Hongshan Gang and let them go to pieces? Does the Hongshan Gang understand whose territory Liangzhou belongs to?"

The disciple thought about it carefully and felt that the logic was flawless. He couldn't help but exclaimed:

"Best regards, sir."

"Study more in the future. The rivers and lakes may seem deep, but in fact there is not much trouble. If you follow your benefactors, you may not be able to find them; but if you follow your enemies, you will definitely find the right one. Sooner or later. If there is a grudge. If you don’t retaliate, you won’t be called a charlatan…”

…
