Extra: Yingliu × Mo Duo (6)
The northwest of Da Qi is a paradise for horse dealers.
The large number of war horses raised here were not only used to supply the army of the Great Qi, but also for horse dealers to transport these horses to other places in exchange for high profits. The horse dealers and the court split the profits 50-50.
Although the horse dealers were rude, because this business involved war horses, all horse dealers were strictly controlled by the court.
As early as when she was in Prince Ning's Mansion , Ying Liu had a relatively deep understanding of these horse dealers. These people made huge profits every year by selling war horses, and it was impossible for them to do anything to betray the court.
Yingliu’s goal is very clear, to find the “rebellious” horse dealer.
As long as she could induce the legitimate princess to accurately deliver her to those "rebellious" horse dealers, the truth of the matter would be revealed in the future, and this would be strong evidence of the collusion between the legitimate princess and these horse dealers.
If she hadn't colluded in advance, how could she have personally delivered the prince's woman to these horse dealers!
Yingliu had everything planned out, and she was just leading this self-righteous princess step by step to take the final step.
But things are unpredictable.
Just when the legitimate princess was persuaded by her and was about to arrange for someone to hand her over to the horse dealers, Moduo arrived!
Moduo was kidnapped by the second prince, but he used the kidnapping to kill two birds with one stone. The legitimate princess knew it clearly through Prince Teng.
The Crown Prince, who had originally intended to use the hijacking to completely overthrow the Second Prince, suddenly appeared in the northwest. What did this mean? Even if the Princess was stupid, she could not figure it out.
I was deceived by that bitch Yingliu!
Yingliu wanted to cry but had no tears.
My prince, can't you restrain your love for me at this time?
If you hadn't come, my plan would have been successful. I would have given you a big gift. I would have not only defeated the Second Prince, but also dethroned the Princess, and made the Emperor completely suspicious and alienated from the children born to your aunt.
It seems like the big thing is about to be completed, why are you here?
Why are you here!
Of course, Moduo would rather give up everything than let Yingliu get into any trouble. Moduo didn't dare to think about what it would mean to fall into the hands of the horse dealer.
Mo Duo went straight to the point and rushed into the inn where the princess was staying.
Seeing her brother, the crown prince, the princess angrily slapped Yingliu in front of Moduo.
"I can't believe that you, my prince, are so loyal and righteous. This place is so complicated, yet you actually abandoned your well-planned plan and dared to intrude into my territory. Aren't you afraid that you might never come back?"
Watching Ying Liu being slapped and bleeding from the mouth and nose, Mo Duo's eyes were filled with murderous intent. Without saying a word, he picked up the sword in his hand and walked forward.
The princess clamped Yingliu's neck and said, "Brother, which is faster, your sword or my knife? I'm risking my life today to see whether I care more about this little bitch's life or the vast land! I'm giving you a chance to express my true feelings!"
Mo Duo's temples were throbbing with anger at her words.
Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, how could Yingliu let Moduo be so passive and at a disadvantage?
She would rather die!
Originally, every step she took after being kidnapped was not for her own survival. She had only one goal, which was to die a worthy death.
Now that she had become a burden to Moduo, Yingliu struggled with almost all her strength and stabbed at the dagger in the princess's hand.
Realizing what she was about to do, the princess angrily moved the dagger away from her neck and stabbed it directly into her shoulder. "You want to die? It won't be that easy!"
Yingliu aroused all her anger. When she thought about how she had been deceived like a fool by Yingliu all the way, she felt so ashamed and angry that she wanted to tear Yingliu into pieces.
She dragged Yingliu, the dagger deeply inserted into Yingliu's body, and looked at Moduo, "Do you dare to come forward? I'm not afraid of death, but aren't you afraid that your little beauty will be turned into a sieve!"
Mo Duo's eyes were red, and he was heartbroken. "What do you want?"
The princess burst into laughter. "My brother is such a romantic! What do I want? My idea is very simple. Brother, go have a meal with the horse dealers at the Zhao Family Inn, and I'll let you win the beauty!"
Zhao Family Inn. When Ying Liu heard these words, her mind was filled with only one thought: where the hell is Zhao Family Inn!
In Mo Duo's heart, the most important thing was Ying Liu. If anything happened to Ying Liu, what would he have to fight for in his life? He threw the sword to the ground and said, "Okay, but you have to promise that after I go, you will release Ying Liu immediately."
The princess smiled sweetly, "Don't worry, brother. I am a trustworthy person."
"Moduo!" Yingliu was anxious, "Are you planning to betray your country?"
That group of horse dealers was a trap set by Prince Teng. If Mo Duo went there, it would be hard to explain.
Mo Duo looked at Ying Liu, clenched his fist, said nothing, and turned to leave.
At the moment when he was about to leave, Yingliu took advantage of the princess's relaxed guard, gathered all her strength, suddenly turned sideways, hugged the princess tightly around the waist, exerted force on her feet, and rushed towards the window.
Everything happened too suddenly.
The princess did not realize what was happening. Moduo had no time to reach out and grab anyone, and the princess's followers had no time to exclaim.
Everything happened in a flash, and Yingliu rushed out of the third-floor window with the person in her arms.
"Yingliu!"
The moment the guards exclaimed, Moduo jumped out of the window almost at the same time.
Bang!
Bang!
Yingliu landed on the ground holding the legitimate princess, followed closely by Moduo, who stepped on the dying legitimate princess with one foot, then leaned over and picked up Yingliu and held her in his arms.
When she landed on her back, the princess did not suffer any serious injuries. Of course, the height of the three-story building caused the princess to suffer serious injuries, but it was also enough to make her paralyzed and unable to get up.
At this time, the followers arranged by Moduo outside rushed in.
Seeing the princess being captured, her guards were leaderless and were quickly captured.
After the thrilling moment, Mo Duo saw that Ying Liu was indeed not hurt by the fall, and his anger at having lost and regained her suddenly rose up.
"What are you going to do? Do I need you to risk your life to find a way out for me?"
He had been worried and anxious all the way, fearing that Yingliu would make the slightest mistake. Now that she was safe in front of him, Moduo was so angry that he almost lost his mind.
He simply couldn't imagine what would happen if Yingliu had landed under the princess's body, and if Yingliu had died from the fall...
Ying Liu was startled by his sudden roar. Blood was still flowing from her shoulder socket, but she ignored it and hugged Mo Duo, "Don't be angry, I'm fine!"
Mo Duo was very angry.
"Have you ever thought about what would happen if something happened? Yingliu, are you heartless? Do you think that even if something happened , I could live peacefully and continue to be my wealthy prince? Do you think my feelings for you are just a toy as those people outside say?
Do you have any conscience at all?!"
All the changes happened during Moduo's roar after surviving the disaster.
No one expected that the legitimate princess's entourage were captured, but the innkeeper was also her man. Just when Moduo was scared and sweating, he yelled at Yingliu.
The shopkeeper suddenly rushed forward and put the dagger directly on Yingliu's neck.
The incident happened too suddenly, and Moduo subconsciously raised his hand to grab the person. The dagger in the shopkeeper's hand had already left a red blood mark on Yingliu's neck.
Mo Duo had no choice but to stop and turned to look at his followers angrily.
After causing such a huge loophole, he even wanted to commit suicide to apologize, but even if he did, he would not be able to save the current situation.
The man held Yingliu hostage, "Release the princess, release the princess's people, and I will return this woman to you. Otherwise, we will all die together."
His dagger was stuck in Yingliu's neck, and because of his excitement, he almost poked a hole in Yingliu's neck.
Moduo's followers had a lot of skills, but they couldn't act rashly at this moment. If they were not careful, Yingliu would be killed by a single provocation.
The princess who had just been captured had no choice but to be released in this way.
She fell pretty hard, and several of her followers removed a door panel and carried her away.
The shopkeeper grabbed Yingliu and mounted his horse.
"Once we leave the city, we will naturally return Miss Yingliu to Your Highness!"
Moduo brought his men and followed closely behind. It didn't matter if the princess ran away, as long as Yingliu was returned in the end.
Yingliu was forced onto a horse with a dagger at her fingertips. The moment she got on, she saw four big words written outside the wall.
Zhao's Inn.
Isn’t this the Zhao Family Inn?
She would never let Moduo be implicated by her and accused of treason.
Staring at the four big words, Yingliu racked her brains to think of a response.
The shopkeeper placed Yingliu in front of him, holding her with the dagger in one hand, and pulled the reins with the other hand and walked out.
The legitimate princess is now unconscious and unable to make any decisions. No one knows where they will go after leaving this inn.
Ying Liu Mingrui caught the shopkeeper's momentary pause as he left the compound, and immediately shouted, "Don't let them into the Zhao Family Inn!"
When he heard this shout, Mo Duo's heart skipped a beat and he knew something was wrong.
Sure enough, the next moment, the shopkeeper who had kidnapped Ying Liu gave the order, "Go to the opposite side!"
The princess's entourage rushed directly into the Zhao family inn, which was the closest to them.
It's not that they are stupid enough to be manipulated by Yingliu, it's just that the princess was seriously injured after falling from the third floor. They must find a place to treat the princess. If they leave the city directly, it will inevitably mean fleeing all the way. I'm afraid that this person will be shaken to death in less than an incense stick of time.
The princess's own people were in the Zhao Family Inn, so the innkeeper made a decision subconsciously after hearing Ying Liu's words.
But when he actually entered the gate of Zhao's Inn, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
The horse dealers who lived here were exactly the "rebellious elements" they had prepared.
