Chapter 156: I Can Be a Killer's Wife
The next morning, the sun was shining on the earth. Xiao Jinghan got up early and said goodbye to Li Mingjie.
Li Mingjie showed a trace of hypocritical regret on his face, and pretended to keep them for a few words, but his eyes could not hide the joy. He quickly turned around, happily prepared a parting gift for them, and then personally sent them out of Yuqing City.
After leaving Yuqing City Gate, Luo Lingfeng frowned slightly and ordered his followers: "Go ahead and check if there is a small town. This Li Mingjie is such a bastard! He didn't even bother to prepare a hearty breakfast for us. I don't know what shameful things he has in mind. He drove us out of the city in such a hurry, there must be something fishy going on!"
Xiao Jinghan smiled slightly and said teasingly: "Could it be that Sixth Brother still hopes to drink fine wine with him?"
Luo Lingfeng spat and said indignantly: "Bah! He ruthlessly left us aside last night and ran away without a trace. I don't know what shameful things he did!"
Luo Lingyue on the side snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Humph! He is just a lackey of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He is hostile to us. If it weren't for Prince Xiao being here, I'm afraid we wouldn't even be able to eat a bite of his food!"
At this time, the attendant was seen riding back quickly on his horse. When he got close, he jumped off his horse and came to Luo Lingfeng and Xiao Jinghan and said, "Sir! I have already found out the situation ahead. If we go a little further, we will reach a large deserted mountainous area. If we cross this mountain range, we will reach Jiangning City!"
Hearing this, Luo Lingfeng couldn't help but curse, "Damn it! Li Mingjie, that damn guy! He didn't even tell us that this is such a barren place outside the city!"
Xiao Jinghan on the side shook his head helplessly, sighed and said: "Now that things have come to this, there is no point in saying more. Let's hurry up and go to the mountains to see if there are any streams where we can fish, so that we won't starve." After saying that, he flicked the reins and galloped ahead.
Seeing this, Luo Lingfeng hurriedly urged the horse under him to catch up. The two horses ran away like wild horses.
Luo Lingyue led Linglong and Liuli to sit steadily in the carriage, while Du Heng rode his horse close to the window and asked softly: "Liuli, I specially prepared some snacks for you to fill your stomach first!" Before he finished speaking, a hand reached in from the window, holding a bag of exquisite snacks.
Liuli shyly took the snack from the hand and thanked him in a low voice: "Thank you very much, Du Heng!"
Seeing this, Linglong on the side couldn't help but teasing, "Oh my! What a sweet snack!" A cheerful atmosphere suddenly filled the car.
Soon, the carriage slowly drove along the winding mountain road and entered the mountain stream. Luo Lingfeng and Xiao Jinghan skillfully lit a fire on the ground, and then put the fresh fish that had been prepared long ago on the rack to grill.
Luo Lingyue couldn't wait to jump off the carriage and shouted excitedly, "Wow, there are actually fish here! Linglong, Liuli, come over and grill the fish together!"
Hearing the shouts, Linglong and Liuli hurried over, and they gathered around the fire and began to grill fish with great interest. Not far away, Du Heng and a group of guards were quietly waiting.
Linglong turned the grilled fish in her hand over and looked at Liuli with a half-smile, and said teasingly: "Hey, Liuli, you are not really in love with Du Heng, are you?"
Liuli's face flushed with shyness instantly. She bit her lower lip, lowered her head and did not answer. However, her heart was beating like a deer, thinking of the little things she had experienced with Du Heng before, and a different feeling quietly grew in her heart.
At this moment, the tranquility of the mountains was broken by laughter, the stream was gurgling, and the fish in the fire gave off an alluring aroma, making this beautiful atmosphere even more intense. And Liuli's girlish heart, under the reflection of this warm fire, gradually blossomed with its own light...
Du Heng possessed peerless martial arts skills and had extremely sharp eyes and ears, so he naturally heard Linglong's words. He pretended to walk towards them casually, but his heart was beating violently like thunder, and he carefully eavesdropped on every word...
Seeing Liuli remained silent, Linglong simply said straight to the point: "I know Du Heng treats you very well! But he is just a killer after all. How can a man who wanders on the edge of life and death and licks blood on the blade all day long be a competent husband? The two of you are in completely different environments."
Liuli bit her lip tightly: "But he is very skilled in martial arts! He will definitely not encounter any unexpected events!"
Linglong asked in astonishment, "Do you really want to marry a killer?"
Luo Lingyue listened to their conversation carefully. Suddenly, she laughed as if she had heard something interesting. "What's wrong with marrying a killer? Du Heng will make a lot of money, so it won't be a problem to support Liuli!"
Linglong was extremely anxious and said quickly, "Miss! Now is not the time to discuss whether there is money or not! How can Liuli follow a killer and wander around? It's too dangerous!"
Luo Lingyue didn't take it seriously, instead she burst into laughter: "So what do you think, let Liuli become the mother of a killer?"
The two maids were immediately bewildered. Even Du Heng, who was not far away, was stunned. He thought to himself, could it be that Luo Lingyue wanted Liuli to be her mother? This was unbelievable!
Luo Lingyue seemed to see their confusion. She rubbed her cheeks, which were sore from laughing for too long, and explained, "What I mean is, if Liuli marries Du Heng and gives birth to a son in the future, then this child can also become a killer when he grows up! How amazing!"
After hearing this, Liuli blushed and murmured in a low voice: "Miss..." She was obviously very embarrassed about such a topic.
Luo Lingyue suddenly shouted towards Du Heng: "Du Heng! Come here!" The voice was clear and loud, like a thunderbolt splitting the sky.
Du Heng was delighted when he heard the call, and he ran over quickly. When he came in front of Luo Lingyue, his eyes revealed a hint of anticipation and nervousness.
Luo Lingyue looked at Du Heng and asked straight to the point: "Du Heng! Are you willing to marry Liuli?" Her tone was firm and direct, without any hesitation.
After hearing this, Du Heng nodded without hesitation and replied, "I do!" His voice was full of sincerity and determination, as if this decision had been brewing in his heart for a long time.
Linglong on the side couldn't help but exclaimed: "Miss!" She was obviously surprised by this sudden proposal, but at the same time she could also feel Du Heng's sincerity.
Du Heng took a deep breath and continued, "To be honest with you, Miss Luo, when I first saw Liuli in Zuiyue Tower, I was attracted by her beauty and temperament. From that moment on, I fell in love with her. However, I know very well that I am just a killer with a low status, and there is a world of difference between me and Liuli..." There was a hint of helplessness and inferiority in his words.
