Chapter 22: Fierce Battle
Beneath Su Qi Qi’s fingers rang out sounds that contained myriads of grandeur. Then occasionally were times when the strings were light and the tone low, coming together in a fleeting murmur, emphasizing the uninhibitedness.
At this moment, Fen Wen truly was shocked. His jade flute was in his hand but from the start until the end it was never lifted to his mouth, he just silently grasped it as he listened to the song, seeming to have long been carried by this guqin sound to the scene of the vast battlefield, the storming rage, the soldiers besieging the city.
Until the desolate low tune reversed, the guqin pitch seized the opportunity to rise up, opening wide and whole, with the momentum of pulling up to the skies. It couldn’t help but make the people that were in the courtyard change their expressions as they listened to it.
Su Qi Qi’s bright eyes dropped low as the guqin sound became increasingly high, her fingertips unexpectedly applied more force and raged in manner, until arriving at the climax, then the fierce torrent rushed down again, gradually lowering into serenity, the guqin sound faded.
For a long while, the courtyard was extremely quiet, without the least bit of sound.
Su Qi Qi calmly stared at the Jiao Wei in front of her, completely focused, focused to the point that it made people somewhat uneasy.
A pair of faint cyan colored shoes entered her sight. Su Qi Qi lifted her eyes, meeting the clear as spring eyes of Fen Wen: “Mister, you’ve let me win.”
”you’ve let me win” in this case isn’t literal. It’s something said politely after winning a game.
He took out a redwood case from within his chest and softly placed it on Su Qi Qi’s palm: “You’ve won.”
Then he turned and left with ease, not speaking another word.
Fen Wen exited the Wang fu doors and Lei Yu Feng finally snapped out of his daze. Looking at Su Qi Qi with wide disbelieving eyes he said: “Are you really Su Qi Qi?”
What kind of mental state was necessary in order to pull together that kind of music.
Su Qi Qi just gave a calm smile and put away the Rootless Fruit. Giving a slight bow to Mo Wen Chen she said: “This qiewill go first to mix the medicine.”
A smudge of appreciation flashed through his eyes, Mo Wen Chen gestured.
Su Qi Qi really has given him too many pleasant surprises. He lifted the corner of his mouth and smiled: “Yu Feng, what if the one sitting on the stage was you? Could you have won against Mister Fen’s jade flute?”
It carried a bit of rumination.
Looking at Mo Wen Chen’s appearance which was unlike his usual cold detachedness, Le Yu Feng knew that Su Qi Qi had already successfully won Mo Wen Chen’s heart.
Indeed, Lei Yu Feng has also started to admire Su Qi Qi, to actually have had so many hidden secrets.
That Jiao Wei really matched her temperament, her guqin skills.
It was just that he wished the one holding Jiao Wei was him.
There was no one that loved guqins that didn’t love Jiao Wei.
Lei Yu Feng was also not an exception.
At this moment he rolled his eyes: “Perhaps not.”
Giving a laugh, Mo Wen Chen didn’t say anything. Right now the medicine has already been sorted out, soon he’ll be able to stand again, of course he was in a good mood.
Standing at the side, although Leng Yan didn’t understand guqin skill, but hearing that wang fei had won again Mister Fen Wen’s jade flute, he also felt endless surprise and respect.
And also was completely convinced in his heart, he now wholeheartedly acknowledged this wang fei.
And probably only a girl like Su Qi Qi is suitable to match his wang ye.
The incident of competing songs with Fen Wen quickly spread through the entire Capital City, even reaching the Imperial City.
It seems like this news was purposefully leaked out by someone, but it was also true that no one could have prevented this news from spreading.
“For the next couple days we must be careful.” Lei Yu Feng was in a rare moment of seriousness. Su Qi Qi’s antidote will probably be successfully compounded in the next few days, but, everyone knew that this will probably not go that smoothly.
Leng Yan also nodded with force. From the start he had always stuck close to Mo Wen Chen, guarding him 24/7 but of course this wasn’t enough. Lei Yu Feng also transferred three hundred experts over from his thousand miles distant Lei Clan Residence.
They were already on their way.
Even if it leaves the Lei Clan Residence empty they still had to protect Mo Wen Chen.
“Transfer the Blood Troops to protect Su Qi Qi.” Mo Wen Chen also agreed with Lei Yu Feng’s methods, right now they absolutely could not afford to be inattentive.
It must be understood, for him to be poisoned means that the people under Mo Wen Xuan were not weak either. There are people beyond this person and skies beyond this sky.
Though Mo Wen Chen was arrogant and conceited, he never underestimates the enemy.
“Understood.” Leng Yan accepted the order and went.
“Should the Shadow Troops be mobilized?” Lei Yu Feng still hesitated for a moment.
“No, until the crucial moment, this force must absolutely not be mobilized.” Mo Wen Chen shook his head.
“Alright.” Lei Yu looked like he completely understood: “I’ll go see how Su Qi Qi’s side is progressing.”
Imperial City, palace hall discussing politics.
“You truly have a wonderful daughter.” Mo Wen Xuan sat on the imperial throne, his complexion ashen, his eyes red as he stared straight down at the trembling and kneeling Prime Minister Su Shi Chang.
Su Shi Chang didn’t dare to reply. He had no idea that his eldest daughter who had always lived in the back courtyard being bullied was actually this outstanding. Not only did she have matchless guqin skill, she even had exceptional medical expertise.
“You didn’t even know that your own daughter knew medicine?” Mo Wen Xuan fiercely slammed the table: “What exactly does your Su family mean to do?”
Su Shi Chang hurriedly knocked his head down: “Your majesty please investigate, this old subject…… this old subject really didn’t know.”
He also felt a bit regretful that these past years he had not taken the time to care about his eldest daughter. If he had known earlier, Su Qi Qi would not have become an abandoned chess piece.
And at present, even wrecked his fraction’s happy occasion.
It was extremely difficult to poison Mo Wen Chen. Having happened once, there definitely won’t be a second time.
His own good daughter actually compounded the antidote.
“Humph……” Mo Wen Xuan gave a cold humph: “No matter what method must be used, you must not let him take the antidote.”
“Understood.” Su Shi Chang wiped the sweat off his forehead, accepted the order and withdrew.
Leaving Mo Wen Chen whose face was still as green as before, eyes flashing cold.
The night was black as ink, without starlight or moonlight.
Outside Bei Ding Hou Wang fu were sword flashes and blade shadows, a bloody massacre was beginning.
Several hundred killers recklessly killed their way into Bei Ding Hou Wang fu, only to be tenaciously blocked by a group of people.
Lei Yu Feng stood outside the Wang fu main entrance, watching the proceedings with a cold gaze. Until the crucial point, he will not act.
And currently inside the courtyard, Su Qi Qi was sleeping extremely peacefully, not feeling the least bit of difference.
Also not knowing of the bloody battle outside.
After tonight, Mo Wen Chen will be able to stand up. Unconsciously, Su Qi Qi’s sleeping face had a hint of a smile.
Her efforts have finally succeeded.
As for why she was so happy, even she was unsure.
The fight continued. The night wind was a bit chilly, blowing a bit desolately onto the streets.
Lei Yu Feng watched as the Blood Troop’s people fell one by one. As the people standing became less and less, his complexion also became graver. Looks like, this time Mo Wen Xuan really used a lot of hard-earned capital.
Practically dispatched the entire Shadow Blade House.
Not to mention they were all top-class killers.
With a lift of his hand, he untied his cape. Lei Yu Feng grasped the sword on his waist and descended from the air.
Swords were everywhere, hot blood flowed.
As if a life reaping sickle he advanced forward without the slightest hesitation. Everywhere there would be people that fell.
The current Lei Yu Feng, with a tight fitting black outfit, a cold blade in his hand, his eyes icy, was filled with murderous aura.
To kill Mo Wen Chen, must pass Lei Yu Feng first. This fact everyone in the entire world knew.
Several rounds later, half the several hundred killers suffered causalities. Even though they used the human sea tactic, they could not surround Lei Yu Feng. He was just like his name, like a whirlwind swept in and out of the crowd.
Cold light flashed past. They only had to time to see his blood-thirsty eyes, and nothing ever again.
And standing on the far away Shadow Blade House, the Housemaster He Yi Tian gave a light humph: “Lei Clan Residence’s baozhu, as expected his name is not in vain.”
Also lifting the blade in his hand, but didn’t advance forward, instead leaped backwards. A few jumps later, he had already reached the back courtyard of the Wang fu. The courtyard wall which was the height of several people, with his one forcefully leap, was easily ascended.
His qing gong was not any worse than Lei Yu Feng’s.
