Chapter 26 Hero Saves the Beauty, Beauty Is Also a Hero
This so-called airship could carry five or six people. After being strongly recommended by the girls, Shen Qing went up with them.
The flying boat, suspended about three meters off the ground, swayed back and forth not automatically, but required someone below to pull it with ropes. This physical labor was naturally not for the sons of the powerful and wealthy; the eunuchs would do it for them.
The ship began to sway, and with the inertia it swayed higher and higher, and the tilt of the ship became more and more pronounced.
"Ahhh~"
The noble ladies clung tightly to the railings, shouting with a mixture of excitement and fear. Shen Qing, however, remained completely unmoved, feeling as if she were on a kindergarten school field trip.
A group of young men watched from below, thoroughly enjoying themselves.
"Click—" A barely audible sound.
Shen Qing's ears twitched slightly. Perhaps because of practicing martial arts and cultivating internal energy, his five senses had become much more acute. He secretly thought that something was wrong and that something unexpected was about to happen.
"Crack—" The area of the bearing fracture expands.
"Not good!" Song Yuan's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly stood up as he sensed danger.
"Crack—" The bearing broke completely, and at the same time the ship swung to its highest point.
"Ahhhhhhh-"
This was truly a scream of terror, and six figures were flung away.
Song Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively reached out to catch it, but two figures beside him jumped out even faster than him.
Li Wan screamed as she was about to hit the ground when Su He caught her in his arms and rolled her around a few times to dissipate the force. After they stopped, the two of them were unharmed, except for being a little disheveled.
Le'an swung his arms and legs backward and landed, while Jiang Se fell to the ground with a "thud" as Le'an landed heavily on Jiang Se's back, accompanied by a slight cracking sound.
As for Shen Qing, he was not flustered at all. The moment the axle broke, he jumped up, grabbed Que Xuan with his left hand and Ding Min with his right, and landed calmly.
Que Xuan and Ding Min were still in shock. Before they could stand up, Shen Qing suddenly stopped and they fell to the ground. They looked up and saw Shen Qing reach out and catch Lin Chisu, who was falling last.
"Are you alright?" Shen Qing asked, looking at the frail girl in his arms.
"No...it's nothing." Lin Chisu, who was being carried in a princess carry, held her heart in her hands. This was the kind of man she wanted to marry in the future.
The onlookers who witnessed this thrilling scene were on the verge of their deaths. They all landed safely, breathed a sigh of relief, and rushed forward to help.
"Deyin!" Jingchuan rushed to Jiang Se's side anxiously. "How are you?!"
With Qiu Yinong's help, Le'an got up, but Jiang Se was still lying on the ground. Fortunately, she was still conscious, but her chest and lungs were in great pain, and she couldn't speak.
"Don't touch him," Shen Qing stopped Jing Chuan, who wanted to help Jiang Se. "Call the imperial physician to bring a stretcher. He may have broken his ribs."
Overwhelmed with guilt, Le'an cried out, "Deyin, hold on! Quickly call the imperial physician!"
After another chaotic scene, the Fourth Princess and Ding Min simply shrugged off, dusted themselves off, and stood up.
"Qingxi, you're amazing!" Que Xuan exclaimed in amazement. "You've been hiding your true abilities."
"Ahem~ Consider it a favor I owe you." The proud and arrogant Ding Min thanked her, then asked somewhat awkwardly, "Who is your master? Would it be convenient for you to have a junior sister?"
Shen Qing was thinking about how to decline, since Instructor Yue's skills were really not easy to teach.
Covered in straw dust, Li Wan sulked as she approached Shen Qing, pouting and looking aggrieved. "Cousin, why didn't you save me first!"
Huh? Isn't the point that he suddenly became incredibly skilled?
Faced with this potentially disastrous question, Shen Qing handled it with ease, saying, "Because I know that Su Jinyu will definitely rush out to save you immediately."
Sure enough, Li Wan blushed and became shy, twisting her sleeve with her fingers. Suddenly, she stopped, realizing she had been led astray. "No, he is him, and you are you. You don't care about me at all!"
Shen Qing leaned close to Li Wan's ear and whispered, "Our Wanwan is lively, cute, and lovable; plenty of people want to save her. Those three poor little ones, nobody loves them."
That seemed to make sense. Li Wan smiled and reluctantly forgave Shen Qing.
"This skill is almost on par with the 'urban legends'." The Third Prince narrowed his eyes. Could it be true, as Dewey guessed, that the person who attacked that night was a retainer of the Shen family?
The scene was chaotic, but Song Yuan's gaze lingered on Shen Qing, his eyes burning with intensity, bypassing the crowd.
Shen Qing turned her head to face Song Yuan. How could she not feel being stared at the whole time?
If Song Yuan is truly reborn, as long as he doesn't act according to the trajectory of his previous life, he will inevitably be suspected, and there's no way to hide it.
No matter, according to the supplementary clauses of the transmigration rules, he had already prepared lines for Song Yuan. But as long as Song Yuan didn't contact him first, he wouldn't rush to self-destruct. Let him mistakenly believe that he was also reborn. It's best to keep things tacit and live in peace.
Watching Shen Qing and Li Wan leave laughing and joking, Song Yuan felt very complicated.
When he saw Qingxi in danger, his heart skipped a beat. He wanted to save her, but unlike Jiang Se and Su Jinyu, he hadn't learned martial arts and his movements weren't as swift.
Ke Qingxi actually knows martial arts! We've been married for over ten years, and she's always been a typical noblewoman. When did she ever learn martial arts?
Could it be that Qingxi, like him, was also reborn, and learned martial arts because she foresaw future wars? That would make sense.
Thinking of this, his feelings became even more complicated. In his previous life, the Song and Shen families were old friends. He and Qingxi were childhood sweethearts. He had liked her quiet and gentle nature since childhood, and he married her as he wished when he grew up.
After marriage, they lived in harmony and had a son and a daughter. Qingxi was wonderful; she supported his reforms and worked hand in hand with him. However, he gradually realized that she was deep-thinking and cunning, no longer the quiet and elegant woman he remembered.
Later, she became involved in politics, and sometimes her opinions differed from his. Most of the time, she was right, but he didn't like her calculating nature.
The highest and brightest sun and moon, the closest and most distant husband and wife, their feelings are like flowing sand and drifting water, gradually fading away with the years.
When he was sent as an envoy to the Cangyue Kingdom, he met a free-spirited female general. She was like a sun illuminating his dormant life, and he felt a long-lost flutter in his heart.
General Lingyue was more like a soulmate to him; she understood his political ambitions and his difficulties.
He led his troops on a long march to relieve the crisis in Xuan State. How could he bear to betray such deep affection and friendship?
In the end, his relationship with Qingxi ended in divorce. As they parted, she looked at him with a puzzled expression, a puzzle that seemed to extend beyond him, as if asking the world, "Why?"
Why? Probably because people change, and the joys of youth cannot represent the future.
He and Lingyue died together under the combined forces of the Di and Jing Kingdoms. When he opened his eyes again, he was reborn at the age of fifteen. This was an opportunity given to him by Heaven, and he was determined to save Xuan Kingdom and Lingyue.
After his rebirth, he began to plan for the future. He no longer visited the Shen residence frequently, and when he met Qingxi at the palace academy, he only showed proper courtesy.
Qingxi has always been a good person, a good wife and a good mistress. He has let her down, so let's not start this life together.
Even today, the thought of Qingxi being in danger still makes him instinctively panic. Why? He asks the same question that Qingxi had back then.
