Chapter 433: The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (One Hundred and Eighty-three)
Wu Meng tried to soften his expression, and his deep voice became much softer, making him seem a little funny and weird.
"Of course, you are the most beloved woman of His Majesty the Liang Emperor, the Imperial Noble Consort. How could a mere general like me, Wu Meng, dare to kill you? Our Ji Kingdom and Liang Kingdom are relatives and are friendly to each other. We are not like Qi, which is hostile to Liang and even captured you. You can rest assured that I will definitely deliver you to His Majesty the Liang Emperor in one piece."
Yuan Qiuli was a little tempted, and didn't know whether she should believe the words of the general opposite her. After all, she didn't want to die. If the identity of the imperial concubine could keep her alive, she would naturally be the imperial concubine.
"I am indeed His Majesty's favorite woman. As long as you release me, His Majesty will grant you whatever you want."
Wu Meng's eyes were filled with sarcasm, but he said, "Thank you, Imperial Noble Consort."
Qi Xingsheng cursed, "Idiot, he is lying to you."
Without waiting for Yuan Qiuli to react, he immediately held her hostage with a dagger in his hand, shouting, "You Ji people are good at sweet talk. Do you think I don't know that you are just trying to use her to threaten the Emperor of Liang? I don't care about the life or death of Imperial Concubine Cui, but I want to live. Let me go, or I will kill her!"
"Ah! Qi Xingsheng, what are you doing!"
Yuan Qiuli screamed.
Qi Xingsheng snorted loudly and said coldly, "Shut up and don't move. You don't want to be stabbed in the throat by a dagger, do you?"
Yuan Qiuli felt some pain in her neck and didn't dare to move for a moment. "You, you have to hold the dagger firmly."
Qi Xingsheng looked at Wu Meng, but whispered in Yuan Qiuli's ear, "They have bad intentions. We need to find a chance to escape."
Yuan Qiuli felt that Qi Xingsheng was more reliable than the Ji people, so she looked at the Ji people across from her and said, "Thank you, General Wu, for coming to my rescue today. I am deeply grateful. Unfortunately, I have been kidnapped by a villain, and my life is at stake. Please do not pursue him and let him go. I believe that Your Majesty will come to rescue me, so please do not worry about it."
Seeing that Yuan Qiuli was so sensible, Qi Xingsheng took the opportunity to say a few threatening words.
"In that case, please take care of yourself, Imperial Noble Consort. This general will send a message to His Majesty Emperor Liang to inform him of your situation."
Yuan Qiuli breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, General."
Wu Meng looked at the two men and let them go despite his men's objections.
Just as Qi Xingsheng and Yuan Qiuli walked for more than ten meters and were about to turn into the woods, more than a dozen arrows flew through the air. Qi Xingsheng had no time to think and blocked Yuan Qiuli in front of him.
Yuan Qiuli was hit by three arrows in a row, each arrow was fatal. Black blood was flowing from the corner of her mouth, and she looked at Qi Xingsheng in disbelief.
"Qi Xingsheng, you actually... Even if I become a ghost... I won't let you go!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she fell to the ground and rolled down the slope.
"Hahahaha... Who could have imagined that the dignified Royal Consort of Liang would die at the hands of the Crown Prince of Qi? Emperor Liang is truly spineless and heartless for not declaring war on Qi."
Qi Xingsheng glanced at Yuan Qiuli who had disappeared into the bushes, and realized that the Ji people had never thought of letting them leave.
Qi Xingsheng looked at the burning rocket that fell to the ground, then touched his shoulder. Fortunately, only his clothes were cut by the arrow, and his skin was not pierced, otherwise he would have been poisoned.
He retreated quietly and shouted angrily:
"It was you who killed Imperial Noble Consort Cui Li, and now you want to put the blame on me? Dream on! You, the Ji Kingdom, have ulterior motives. I hate that I, Qi Xingsheng, didn't see your evil ambitions just now. You clearly wanted to eliminate dissidents for the Ji Kingdom princess in the palace!"
After Qi Xingsheng finished speaking, he turned around and ran into the corner without waiting for Wu Meng to react, disappearing from the sight of Wu Meng and others.
