Li Mingyang stiffened all over. How could he be willing to create extra trouble and help the Fifth Princess undress? But at this moment, the woman in front of him had caught a cold. Her face was as red as a peach blossom. When she looked up at him with a pitiful expression, so weak and clinging to his arm, he couldn't utter a single word of refusal.
Seeing that Li Mingyang stood still and didn't answer, Wei Dongling stretched out her slender hand and gently hooked his chin. Her eyes were full of charm as she coquettishly pleaded, "Husband~ Is it okay?" As soon as the words left her mouth, she almost vomited.
How could Wei Dongling not know that the Xiliang Prince already harbored murderous intent towards her? But currently, she was alone with no help in sight. She had no choice but to try her best to use the beauty trap. As long as she could fascinate him for a while, the small crossbow in her wide sleeve would come in handy!
Seize the moment when he was distracted and take his life!
Li Mingyang's hand trembled. As if possessed, he reached out to untie the fox - fur cloak on Wei Dongling's body and then continued down to untie her belt.
A faint smile curved Wei Dongling's lips. She leaned close to his ear and softly sighed, "I think you still have a chance!"
Li Mingyang's hand paused. He didn't understand what Wei Dongling meant for a long time.
Taking advantage of his hesitation, Wei Dongling tightened her grip on the small crossbow in her wide sleeve. Just as she was about to take it out and press it against his throat, a figure suddenly rushed out of the forest. The person grabbed Li Mingyang and threw him hard into the snow. Then, he punched Li Mingyang wildly, making him let out miserable cries.
Wei Dongling stared in shock. Only then did she see that the person was dressed in black and wearing a terrifying ghost - face mask.
Could it be Yu Zixi?
Seeing this, Wei Dongling quickly and clumsily put away the small crossbow.
In the snow, Li Mingyang was quickly picked up and beaten violently. Every punch landed on his cheek, making him dizzy and seeing stars. Only then did Li Mingyang react in pain and fight back. He grabbed Yu Zixi's neck tightly with both hands, then suddenly flipped over and pinned him down. The two started to fight on the spot.
Li Mingyang didn't know that the person under the mask was Yu Zixi. He couldn't figure out why the Flying General, who had been missing for a long time, would suddenly appear in this desolate mountain. He originally guessed whether someone was impersonating the Flying General, but seeing the person's agile moves and strange boxing techniques, it must be the Flying General!
But he had never offended the Flying General. Why did the Flying General rush up and beat him without saying a word?
Wei Dongling watched coldly as Li Mingyang and Yu Zixi hugged each other and fought fiercely. She couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Brother! If you hadn't shown up, he would have been dead!
Li Mingyang's martial arts skills were not weak, but compared to Yu Zixi, he was far inferior. Within ten moves, he was completely suppressed by Yu Zixi.
Wei Dongling looked up and saw the Xiliang guards rushing from afar. She knew that these people must be Li Mingyang's confidants.
Wei Dongling secretly thought it was bad. Although she had almost killed Li Mingyang when her life was at stake, if the Xiliang Prince died here, the treaty between the Celestial Dynasty and Xiliang might become invalid, and they would definitely not send troops to support the Northwest as promised.
Seeing Cuihuan and Ruan Niang rushing towards them in a hurry from afar, Wei Dongling gritted her teeth. She stepped forward and stood in front of Li Mingyang, angrily shouting at Yu Zixi under the ghost mask, "Stop! Don't you hurt my husband!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Yu Zixi and Li Mingyang instantly froze in place like wooden chickens.
Under the mask, Yu Zixi stared at Wei Dongling in disbelief, hardly believing his ears! What did she call him? Husband?
Jealousy instantly welled up in Yu Zixi's heart: She had never called me like this!
Li Mingyang was also completely stunned. He never dreamed that the Fifth Princess would say such a thing! He had clearly been plotting against her and wanted to kill her to cover his tracks, but she still stupidly stood up to protect him?
Why? Could it be that because she once had an affair with the Flying General in the Iron Cavalry Camp, she said such words to make the Flying General jealous?
Otherwise, he couldn't believe that the Fifth Princess would risk her life to protect him out of affection for him.
Li Mingyang's confidants rushed over in a hurry. Seeing their master lying on the snow and the princess protecting him, they were all stunned. Someone couldn't help but ask, "Second Prince! Are you okay?"
Seeing that the reinforcements had caught up so quickly, Yu Zixi gritted his teeth. He took out a dagger and rushed towards Li Mingyang's throat.
Wei Dongling was in a hurry. She stepped forward and grabbed the dagger that Yu Zixi had stabbed with her bare hands. Immediately, a sharp pain shot through her palm, and blood gushed out.
Yu Zixi was completely shocked on the spot. Wei Dongling actually blocked a blade with her bare hands to protect another man? And that man was the heartless Xiliang Prince! Had she fallen out of love with him and fallen in love with another man in just a few days?
Li Mingyang was also stunned. He, a man, had been injured and shed blood, but he had never been protected so desperately by a weak woman! And this woman was the one he had been scheming to kill! Even if she was just trying to make the Flying General jealous, there was no need to be so extreme!
Seeing the blood continuously flowing from Wei Dongling's palm, Li Mingyang rushed over and shouted anxiously, "Flying General! If you have something against me, come at me! What kind of hero are you to attack a woman?"
Wei Dongling regretted it as soon as she reached out. She didn't expect it to be so painfully unbearable. If she had known, she wouldn't have been so reckless!
She protected Li Mingyang partly because she wanted the Northwest to send troops to help Shangguan Yun according to the treaty, and partly because she was really jealous of Yu Zixi.
How many times had she woken up from midnight dreams, with the scene of Qi Jinxuan calling Yu Zixi "husband" in front of her eyes! Every time she thought about it, she felt as if her heart was about to stop!
So what if she and Li Mingyang fought? What did it matter to Yu Zixi? Who did he think he was? Why did he think he could do whatever he wanted? From beginning to end, he never cared about my feelings!
Since he liked Qi Jinxuan, what was he still doing with me? Go be with your wife and children! Just when I finally wanted to cheer up, why did he still come and bother me?
Get out of here!
Wei Dongling glared angrily at Yu Zixi. Hiding her complicated feelings, she softly said to Li Mingyang, "Husband, go quickly! I'll be fine." I bet he won't hurt me.
Li Mingyang felt dizzy. As a man who cared so much about his pride, how could he let his woman fight in front of him? Li Mingyang kicked Yu Zixi, who was standing still like a stone, and roared, "How dare you hurt my woman! You're courting death!"
The dagger fell and stabbed straight into the snow. Yu Zixi ignored Li Mingyang and stared fixedly at Wei Dongling. His voice trembled as he asked, "Why? Why did you do this?"
