Chapter 87 (1/2)

Mo Qi Qi laughs sillily, ”Your Majesty sure knows how to crack a joke! Our Hua Chen Kingdom is prosperous, what could possibly happen? No need to worry about anything, Your Majesty!”

”Zhen is not worried. If zhen is worried, zhen would not have handed over the court matters to them,” says Jun Qian Che lightly. The truth is he has made a careful contemplation of each and every step before taking them.

Mo Qi Qi feels like talking to him only wastes time, so she quickly shuts up. She is too lazy to care about these things. Besides, everything rests on him. If he says they leave, they leave; if he wants them to return to the palace, no one would dare to suggest otherwise. As for she, the only role she has to perform is as the spectator.

The carriage moves very fast. They continue the journey without resting, even at night.

She originally expect the journey to be smooth-sailing, but who would have thought that the a.s.sasins would be so persistent to kill Jun Qian Che. They are getting anxious now that Jun Qian Che is returning to the imperial palace. The Emperor rarely leaves the palace, so they must take this chance to properly end his life, otherwise, attacking him once he reach the palace will be hard.

And so, dozens of a.s.sa.s.sins appear on the muddy road of the mountainside. There are more of them this time compared to last time.

The guards pull the reins of their horses and stop.

Mo Qi Qi opens the curtain to look outside before quickly lowering them in fear. ”The a.s.sa.s.sins sure know how to pick the place. They actually chose to ambush us in a rocky cliffside. There are so many a.s.sa.s.sins this time, we are done for!” She looks at Jun Qian Che who is still calmly sitting there with his eyes closed. She unhappily snaps at him, ”You are still in the mood to sleep, Your Majesty? We are surrounded by a.s.sa.s.sins!”

”Don't panic. If something is to happen, there is nothing we can do to stop it,” Jun Qian Che calmly says.

Mo Qi Qi looks at him, aggrieved, ”Being with Your Majesty is so dangerous. There are a.s.sa.s.sins everywhere. We can't even travel in peace.”

Jun Qian Che opens his eyes to look at her, smiling, ”Don't you find this thrilling, Empress? You should be grateful that you married zhen. Otherwise, your married life would have bore you to death!”

Mo Qi Qi gives him a fake laughter, ”Haha, you are right! I am thankful to you for giving me this thrill! In fact, I am thanking your ancestors as well!”

”Stop being so preposterous!” scolds Jun Qian Che in dissatisfaction.

Mo Qi Qi purses her lips, ”Aren't you worried that you are going to die here, Your Majesty?”

”Can worrying solve anything? If you have the time to worry, why don't you use it to figure out how to get rid of these a.s.sa.s.sins instead?” says Jun Qian Che casually.

Mo Qi Qi's heart almost jumps out of her chest when she hears the sounds of fighting outside. Do not call her a coward; she has lived all her life in a peaceful country, she has never seen this kind of scene in her previous life. Fear is only natural for someone like her.

When Jun Qian Che sees that, he holds her hand before starting to comfort her, ”Don't worry. Zhenis here. Zhen will not let anyone hurt you. The carriage is not safe, let's go,” he holds her hand as he leads her down the carriage.

With him holding her hand, the fear inside her heart slowly dissipates.

The fight outside is very deadly.

Jun Yue Hen has also gotten off his carriage and is watching the battle from the sideline.

Mo Qi Qi walks over to him in worry, ”Yue Hen, you do not know martial arts and is injured, you better go to a safer place.”

Her worry made Jun Yue Hen's heart feels very warm, ”Thank you for your worry, Your Ladyship. You must be careful as well.”

Jun Qian Che pulls Mo Qi Qi over to him and buries her against his chest before earnestly saying, ”She is zhen's empress. Zhen is the one responsible for her safety, no need to worry about her, Imperial Uncle.”

Mo Qi Qi looks at him, completely speechless at his behaviour.

At that moment, an a.s.sa.s.sin spots Jun Qian Che and quickly flies over to him, directing a blow towards his direction.

Jun Qian Che looks at Mo Qi Qi before saying, ”Stay here. Do not go anywhere.” Then, he too flies towards that a.s.sa.s.sin and starts battling him.

Although Mo Qi Qi is scared, her heart calms down a little when she remembers what he said, that he will not let anyone hurt her.

She trains her eyes on him, who would have thought that he would be so powerful in martial arts? Now that she thinks about it, Jun Qian Che is still pretty good despite his cold face, haughty ways and condescending words. He is good in both strategy and battle, possessing the brain and the strength. He governs the kingdom really well. He also has a good-looking face to match his good body. If he was born in the modern times, he would have become the hero in every teenage girl's dreams!

Pei Pei Pei! What on earth did she just say? What 'pretty good'? He is pretty good in being a trash! Since he raped her, she hopes that he will be killed by a.s.sa.s.sins this time!

(TN: Pei is the sound of spitting. She basically spitted on his name thrice.)

Although the a.s.sa.s.sins are many in numbers, Jun Qian Che has picked all the capable guards with them this time. Although there are not many of them in number, they are all strong in their own worth. It is not easy for the a.s.sa.s.sins to handle them. In the end, quite a number of the a.s.sa.s.sins die.

When the leader amongst the a.s.sa.s.sins notices that, he becomes anxious. His eyes fall on Mo Qi Qi who is watching the show from the sideline. He flies towards her, directing a blow.

Mo Qi Qi jumps up in shock.

”Careful, Qi Qi!” screams Yue Hen.

Mo Qi Qi quickly runs away.

Jun Qian Che is curently surrounded by a.s.sa.s.sins. He tries to shrug them off because he wants to check on Mo Qi Qi. Once his mind is in a mess, it is easy for him to become a target.
