"No Wedding Unless Enemies and Lovers" 《不是冤家不拜堂》Chapter 107

 Xiao Yi Chen stood on the mountain road frowning after the rain, watching the mountain full of searching bodyguards, beside his foot knelt tens of tied up people in black.


When he had laid in wait in the mountain he had hung a mark on the trees, to inform Ji Ling Xue he was in hiding, but he didn't expect the assassins to come in two waves, his plan was disturbed, Ji Ling Xue had also disappeared.


All this time he had been looking for the Dayan third prince, now the northern pass of the city was under martial law, he couldn't easily leave, the only thing he could do was hide in the city, today Ji Ling Xue had gone up the mountain to offer sacrifice to her mother, a lot of people had begun to stir, a group of assassins had already been interrogated, they were Dayan people.


Beside him a grim faced Chi Feng used a dagger to cut off one of the man in black's little finger, his voice coldly said: "Speak, who sent you here to assassin the princess?"


The man in black gave a heart wrenching howl, a moment later through gritted teeth he said: "I...I don't know."


Chi Feng sneered: "You don't know, let me chop off all ten of your fingers, you ought to know, ten fingers are linked to the heart, if you don't want to die from pain you should speak soon!"


Another man in black beside him on hearing this felt his blood run cold,  he couldn't help say: "I'll speak, I'll tell you everything, its..."


"No courage at all!" The man having his finger cut off glared at him.


The other man in black ignored him, he continued saying: "We are from the Lengsha group, yesterday we received an order, to come here and kill a woman, we didn't know she's princess Chen."


Xiao Yi Chen turned around: "Then tell me who your employer is."


The man in black shook his head, "That person was completely in black with a gauze hat on, but she sounded like a middle aged woman."


Xiao Yi Chen nodded, waving his hand: "Leave their corpse intact." He left behind the sound of swishing swords, tens of heads fell on the ground instantly, the blood flowed to the ground dying the withered leaves red.


Chi Feng said: "Prince, I'll bring people up the mountain to continue searching, princess might still be on the mountain."


Xiao Yi Chen nodded.


On another side, Mo Xiang's eyes widened in shock at the message written on her hand, she kept on looking at the back of Ru Ge who was leading the way, how tall was Ru Ge...


The very first thing Ji Ling Xue noticed was wrong wasn't Ru Ge's height but his sword movements, Ru Ge never made some fancy moves, he was practical, and dealt with his opponent in the quickest manner possible.


The route the three of them took down the mountain wasn't longer than the one they took up it, rather they left from the back of the mountain, that way they successfully avoided the men Xiao Yi Chen sent to look for her.


From time to time Mo Xiang turned to look at Ji Ling Xue, inquiring what she should do next, she only had some poisonous powder left on her, as she thought about this, Mo Xiang rubbed her chest, her complexion changed, the poisonous powder she had concealed actually disappeared.


Ji Ling Xue opened her mouth to say: "Ru Ge, why have we not come across the prince and them after such a time, could we have taken the wrong route?"


Ru Ge faltered in his step, he suddenly turned around smiling: "We didn't take the wrong route, this is the way back..." He paused, then continued, "Only it's not the way to the prince's residence." As he spoke he reached out with his hand aiming at Ji Ling Xue's pressure points, Ji Ling Xue had already expected this, raising her hand she pushed the other person's hand aside and fell back two steps.


Ru Ge didn't expect Ji Ling Xue who didn't know martial arts days ago to have gotten better, he had underestimated this weak woman. Mo Xiang stood in front of Ji Ling Xue guarding against Ru Ge, angrily saying: "You're not Ru Ge, who are you, what do you want?"


Ru Ge raised an eyebrow, his acting skills have always been very good, what had actually exposed him? Since he had been exposed, Ru Ge was also too lazy to continue pretending, raising his hand he tore off a thin human skin mask: "Princess Chen I trust you have been well since we last met!"


Unexpectedly it was that perverted Dayan third prince, it really was enemies on a narrow road, Ji Ling Xue was downtrodden, why did this perverted third prince look for her for no reason, did he really think she was a pushover.


The third prince clapped his hands, a carriage came out from behind the trees with a clatter, the one driving the carriage was the third prince's trusted aide.


The third prince said: "Princess Chen, do you want this prince to welcome you onto the carriage or you want to be knocked out then carried onto the carriage?" His tone was that of discussion but he was giving the other person no choice.


Even though the third prince only had two men, they were clearly experts, these weak women didn't even have the capacity to resist. 


Mo Xiang leaned close to Ji Ling Xue's ear: "Princess, this servant will protect you so leave first."


Ji Ling Xue shook her head, if they did anything there would definitely be consequences from those cunning men of the third prince's, they couldn't run. 


She was afraid Ru Ge was still in their hands, thinking about this, Ji Ling Xue narrowed her eyes, asking: "Can you tell me, what did you do to Ru Ge?"


The third prince raised his eyebrow, he didn't think Ji Ling Xue would worry so much for that man, a strange smile appeared on his lips, "If princess Chen courteously left with this prince, this prince will take you to see him."


Ji Ling Xue looked all around, without any objection she got into the carriage, Mo Xiang nervously followed beside Ji Ling Xue, the third prince didn't make things hard for them, he only locked the carriage and continued on their way.


The way the carriage came quietly it also very quietly left, on another side, Xiao Yi Chen received a letter, on it was written, "Swallow has gone to the northern pass."

Xiao Yi Chen scrunched the letter into a ball, turning around he took his men to the northern pass, this pass was an important passage leading from the capital to the northwest, usually the majority of the vehicles which came and went were merchants.


Today, there was a lot of tension at the pass, the general guarding the capital sneezed three times in a row, afterwards he ordered the soldiers below to strictly inspect those leaving, a Dayan spy cannot be allowed out.


When Xiao Yi Chen arrived, the general was patrolling the city gate tower, seeing Xiao Yi Chen he came to welcome him in reverence, Xiao Yi Chen however wasn't in the mood for pleasantries, he bluntly asked: "Has a suspicious carriage left?"


The general felt his scalp tighten, hurriedly shaking his head, asking in curiosity: "Prince, has something happened?"


Xiao Yi Chen with a cold face, turned to stand inspecting at the city gate, he wants to see how the Dayan's third prince wanted to snatch and take his woman out of the city.


This Dayan's third prince had secretly infiltrated the Dongqi capital city for some days, if he didn't return to Dayan the situation in the state would change, he had thought he wanted to give some trouble to Xiao Yi Chen, in the end trouble was brought on himself and his hideout was seized by Xiao Yi Chen, now he could only make a gamble, kidnapping Ji Ling Xue as a hostage to allow him to leave the city.


In a desolate commoner's house, Ji Ling Xue and Mo Xiang had been locked inside the room for some time, the house was very shabby, there were no decent tables or chairs, Ji Ling Xue sat on the stone kang1 counting her fingers. She and Mo Xiang had their acupuncture points sealed, they didn't even have the energy to run.


Mo Xiang was calm, keeping quiet, after a while later, Mo Xiang: "Princess, Ru Ge probably isn't here."


Ji Ling Xue nodded, this third prince was too devious, she hoped Ru Ge was fine. Suddenly the door of the room was violently kicked open, Ji Ling Xue raised her head, the third prince wearing a fake beard pretending to be a peasant entered, two commoner women followed behind him.


The third prince said: "Transform these two people, quickly change their clothes." Having spoken he turned around and walked out.


Ji Ling Xue and Mo Xiang were like two rag dolls, allowing the two commoner women to dress them up. After a short while, JI Ling Xue were wearing village girls attire and together with Mo Xiang were pushed out the door, a basket was shoved into her hand, she was led out.


Outside of the commoner house Ji Ling Xue only then found out they were at a village by the pass, they were dressed as common people lining up at the gateway in the queue ready to leave. The queue became a little bit shorter, Ji Ling Xue was pleasantly surprised to discover Xiao Yi Chen was standing at the city gate, only her voice acupuncture point was sealed, she couldn't make a sound, she couldn't get Xiao Yi Chen's attention to safe her.


Mo Xiang lowered her head, taking a few steps forward she saw a little stone, she was happy for a moment, raising her leg she was about to kick the stone out, all of a sudden a black boot reached out to stop her actions.


Mo Xiang raised her head, she saw the perverted third prince dressed as a peasant with a strange smile on his face, his hand holding a hoe moved, scaring Mo Xiang into bowing her head.


Finally it was Mo Xiang, Ji Ling Xue and the others turn to leave the city, the guards keeping watch of the city walls looked them up and down before waving them through.


Ji Ling Xue tried hard to turn her head, out of the corner of hers she looked at Xiao Yi Chen who was continuously staring  at the carriages and carts which held cargo, he simply didn't look in her direction.


Ji Ling Xue cursed in her heart: Xiao Yi Chen you idiot!


While Ji Ling Xue was not resigned to this, she was taken out of the city, and was further away from Xiao Yi Chen...


Ru Ge woke up in the forest, he moved his arms, that's when he found out his arms had been tied to a tree, damn it, his martial arts was pretty good, he actually was knocked unconscious without noticing. He moved, the tree he was tied to screeched, leaning to the side with his weight, he was so scared he shrieked.


The birds in the forest spread their wings and flew away scared by his desperate yells, Ru Ge could only tear at this throat shouting: "Is there anyone?"


On the other side of the mountain top, Chi Feng who was about to leave halted in his steps, listening to the wind he asked the bodyguard beside him, "Hey, do you hear anything?"


The bodyguard shook his head, "Doctor Chi, prince has hurried to the border, we should hurry down the mountain and go after the prince."


Chi Feng waved his hand unconcerned: "This is a great opportunity for hero to rescue a damsel in distress, why are you stealing the limelight."


The bodyguard said nothing, if it wasn't for Chi Feng saying there might still be some clues in the mountain, prince wouldn't have left them behind to blindly wonder.


The next moment, a slight voice was in the wind, the bodyguard's ears perked up: "There really is someone shouting for help, it's from that way..." As he spoke he pointed in a direction.


Chi Feng smiled, "I didn't guess wrong, there is still a clue in the mountain." He waved his hand bringing people to rescue the person.


Chi Feng stood under the tree looking up at Ru Ge who was tied to the tree with only his underpants on, his lips couldn't help tremble, "Isn't this the bodyguard by princess's side, how can you lack such morality hahaha!"


Ru Ge's foreheads were filled with black lines, fine just laugh, he's a man anyway, it didn't matter if he was seen naked. A bodyguard climbed the tree, very soon Ru Ge was rescued down, pointing at his face covered in mud he asked, "What happened to your face?"


Ru Ge rubbed the mud print on his face which had been blown dry by the wind, giving an awkward smile, "That...brother do you have clothes, lend me it, I need to rescue someone."


The bodyguard shook his head, both hands wrapped around his chest: "No, I only have this."
