The Second Life of Hu Liena
104. The fight in the forest.

In the woods...

Qiang Geming continued to run as fast as possible splitting the depths of the forest, albeit with breath gasping from exhaustion.

Other than Xiulin's burden, his age was no longer young, becoming an obstacle to Quang Geming's current movements.

"Damn it! I could have gotten into their trap!" Qiang Geming cursed in the middle of his escape.

After several miles of running, and making sure no one was chasing him anymore, Qiang Geming rested himself under a large, leafy tree.

"It seems, they've given up, and aren't after me anymore." Qiang Geming said with a feeling of relief.

After making sure everything was safe, Qian Geming then placed Xiulin's body on the dried leaves, and leaned his back on the tree trunk.

"My poor daughter!" Qiang Geming muttered as he examined Xiulin's pulse.

"Luckily, the poison does not directly spread to the heart area. If only that had happened, your life might not have been helped." Qiang Geming said after confirming the return of Xiulin's sitting position to make it more comfortable.

Qiang Geming's legs felt trembling from the distance of the step, and the weight of the burden he carried while running earlier.

Fortunately, the situation was now not as he had imagined it to be.

Qiang Geming had felt pessimistic, because the poison he brought was used up to fight against Hu Liena. In addition, with him who must keep the Princess to stay safe at his side.

Unexpectedly, it turned out that the escape he thought would fail, became a very easy escape because there were no people chasing.

And gradually, the pessimistic feelings that Qiang Geming felt became lost, replaced with a great hope of success he escaped from the clutches of the First Prince of the Ying dynasty kingdom.

Perhaps due to the calm atmosphere within the forest, or perhaps also due to exhaustion after a long enough escape, Qiang Geming finally subconsciously closed his eyes, and fell asleep soundly under the tree.

"Wake up! Wake you!" A faint sound could be heard in Qiang Geming's ears.

Originally, the voice sounded like a wobble carried by the wind by Qiang Geming. But gradually, the voice sounded clearer, and louder in his ears.

"Wake up at last!" The sneer of the person standing before Qiang Geming.

"You!" Qiang Geming half-screamed after seeing clearly who the person was.

"Shocked?" Sindir that person, who turned out to be Emperor Li Jinhai.

Qiang Geming wanted to agree, but he was too lazy to mince words with his old enemies.

"Where is my daughter?" Shouted Qiang Geming after realizing that Xiulin's body had already disappeared.

"Your daughter's a fugitive, of course I'm taking her back to jail." The Emperor Li Jinhai.

There was not the slightest bit of fear, nor was there any giddiness in the Emperor's current expression.

"Bad! Return my Daughter!" Snapped Qiang Geming roughly.

Li Jinhai grinned, then said the words that made Qiang Geming's hair shudder in horror when he heard it.

"I'll give it back, but after the law of beheading!"

"Suckers! I'll kill you!" Qiang Geming attacked the Emperor using a sword he had pulled out from one of Li Jinhai's bodyguards standing nearby.

_Wuushhh!_

_Trionngg!_

Emperor Li Jinhai managed to fend off the sabre that was aiming for his head.

"Weak!" The Emperor sneer that made Qiang Geming feel even more emotion.

"Shut up!"

_Shiiuuttt!_

The wind that came out from the saber of Qiang Geming's sword sounded terrifying. Maybe because of the sword attack, accompanied by deep power so as to make the pressure given even greater.

_Trinsegg!_

_Trinsegg!_

_Triiiiinngg!_

The swords clashed back in the air, and Emperor Li Jinhai managed to fend off the sword attack given to him by Qiang Geming.

_Hiiyyaahhh!_

_Trinsegg!_

_Trinsegg!_

_Bukk!_

_Agdhh!_

Qiang Geming was bounced from being hit by the sabetage, and a kick from the leg of Emperor Li Jinhai.

Emperor Li Jinhai caught up with Qiang Geming's fallen body crashing into a tree.

_Bukk!_

The Emperor directly kicked Qiang Geming in the chest as soon as Qiang Geming attempted to get up.

"Fuck! If you dare, fight me again!" Qiang Geming said with a growl.

Emperor Li Jinhai smiled mockingly. "You are not my match! Even if you fight one of my bodyguards alone, you can't possibly win! You're just a sly person who relies on poison for victory!"

_Agdhh!_

Qiang Geming shouted in pain as the Emperor stomped hard on his chest.

_Cughhh!_

Qiang Geming spat on Emperor Li Jinhai. But as his position was lying face up, inevitably, his own spit turned to fall into his own face.

_ppff!_

Behind a large tree not far from where the Emperor and Qiang Geming fought.

Two young people were closing their mouths, because they held back laughter so as not to come out and make a rowdy atmosphere.

Who else, if not Li Junjie and Hu Liena who wanted to know the way the Emperor took revenge.

"The Emperor's sword is great too!" Hu Liena whispered to Li Junjie who replied with a nod of his head.

"Of course, in the era of the First Emperor's reign, Father has been crowned swordsman number stau in our Ying dynasty kingdom." Li Junjie replied which made Hu Liena cluck in awe.

"Ckk, you deserve it!" Said Hu Liena while refocusing on the Emperor's fight.

"Don't be arrogant, Li Jinhai!" Jerky Qiang Geming Rough.

"That's all fact!" Reply Emperor Li Jinhai haughtily.

"Helehhh, if only my sister hadn't you killed back then, maybe she would have been able to defeat you!" Qiang Geming said hatefully.

"Your sister died of her own actions, do not associate me with the death of your savage sister!" Said the Emperor who was also furious after hearing the words of Qiang Geming who accused him of being a murderer.

"Silence you son of a bitch! You're the one who killed him!" Jerk Qiang Geming hard.

"Heh, that's funny! Your sister died with her own sword, but you blamed me." Emperor Li Jinhai became angry because he continued to be slandered.

_Agdhh!_

Qiang Geming shouted again because of the stomp on his chest, further strengthened by Emperor Li Jinhai who lost his patience.

"I'm going to tell you a fact, which might make you feel sorry for having an animal brother like your sister." Emperor Li Jinhai.

Qiang Geming tried to endure the pain that started to radiate throughout his body.

"What other ruse are you going to say now, Li Jinhai?" Snapped Qiang Geming.

Emperor Li Jinhai sneered sinisterly. "There's no point in me lying, Qiang!"

Qiang Geming fell silent for a moment after hearing the nickname of his youth first, coming out of the Emperor's mouth.

"I did fight with your sister back then. But it wasn't me, who made him die." Emperor Li Jinhai said with a serious look.

"If not you, then who?" Qiang Geming felt moved to know the truth.

"Princess Song Qian!" The Emperor replied straightforwardly.

"Bad! How dare you slander Her Majesty the Empress!" Shouted Qiang Geming.

Emperor Li Jinhai smiled smirk. "You can ask him that directly."

"This ...," Qiang Geming became confused.

Princess Song Qian was mentioned by Emperor Li Jinhai. Is the younger sister of the Qian Empire's Emperor, if she asks Princess Song that question, maybe she will be stamped as a traitor, for having tried to slander Princess Song, if the reality was true, Qiang Geming would still not do it.
