Three days later, in the evening, the sun was setting and the sky was getting darker.
Three guards followed a sedan chair carried by two bearers to the Tianque Mountain Villa's Tianqiao wooden stack.
The guard with the knife stopped the sedan chair, said "what an offense", and then lifted the curtain of the sedan chair.
Li Qiushui was sitting in the sedan chair, the wide seat under her body was covered with a vermilion carpet, her face was sullen: "What? Do you want to check even my sedan chair now?"
"Princess, calm down! The prince has an order. Now whoever enters or exits Tianque Mountain Villa, he must be informed." The guard clasped his fists.
"Yeah." Li Qiushui nodded understandingly, "Tell Master Han that the autumnal equinox is approaching and the weather is getting colder. I bought a few bolts of cloth in Baidi City and sent them to the clothing workshop to make clothes. I'm going to see them today." See if this garment is finished."
The guard didn't dare to offend the princess, so he didn't investigate carefully and let the group leave.
After the princess's sedan chair left, the guard hurried to Han Ya's residence, but he happened to meet someone under the attic.
"Lord Ashinabal!" The guard saluted.
"Where are you rushing to?" Ah Wu asked.
"Just now the princess left Tianque Mountain Villa, I will report to the prince." The guard replied.
A Wu was stunned, and after a long time he said: "It's just right, I have something to ask the prince, I will tell you for you, you go back and continue to guard."
The guard hesitated for a while, but finally felt that one more thing is worse than one less thing, so he clasped his fists together: "Thank you, my lord."
After the guard left, Ah Wu's face showed panic, and he angrily kicked the wall next to him hard.
The princess really wants to leave
She was really so determined to leave regardless
Did she just abandon herself like this? !
Why on earth, why did she act so recklessly for Li Changtian, for a fool
If he hadn't met the guard who reported it just now, Han Ya would have known about it by now!
With Han Ya's cunning, how could he not detect the clue, he will definitely send someone to chase after the princess!
Ah Wu glanced at the attic.
So, should he tell Han Ya about this
-
Li Qiushui's sedan chair slowly arrived at Baidi City, although it was already night, the streets and alleys of Baidi City were still bustling with people coming and going, shoulder to shoulder.
The guards who followed lightly knocked on the sedan chair and asked Li Qiushui where the clothing workshop was.
Li Qiushui calmly led them to the suburbs.
Walking to the uninhabited woods outside the city gate, the guard was suspicious, knocked on the wooden door of the sedan chair, and asked, "Master, are you sure that the clothing workshop is near here? But there are few people here, and it doesn't seem like there is a place for workshops."
Unexpectedly, no one in the sedan chair answered.
"Princess?" The guard frowned.
There was still no sound in the sedan chair.
The three guards looked at each other, and one of the guards looked flustered, and hurried forward to open the wooden door of the sedan chair: "Princess?!"
However, what he didn't expect was that the moment he opened the wooden door of the sedan chair, Li Qiushui stabbed his arm mercilessly with a silver needle that had been soaked in drugs and was the length of wooden chopsticks.
The guard took a few steps back in panic, then his body went limp and he fell down.
Surprised by a sudden change, the other two guards quickly drew out the long knives at their waists, intending to protect them in front of them.
Suddenly, a bearer beside them clenched his fists and lashed out at the two guards.
This bearer is Li Changtian!
After bringing down the three guards, the other bearer was not spared, and was directly knocked out by Li Changtian.
Li Changtian helped Li Qiushui out of the sedan chair: "Sister! Let's go!"
The two took out the luggage hidden under the chair seat, Li Changtian put his whole body on his back, pulled Li Qiushui again, and rushed towards the official road.
Fortunately, the two of them didn't go far, and came across a tea shed selling horses, they quickly bought two horses, and took advantage of the night to gallop towards the capital.
The two of them did not dare to take the main road, they took the small road, the lone moon in the bright sky, the cool breeze blowing, Li Qiushui swayed the reins, looked at Li Changtian, who was riding the horse in front of him, suddenly felt inconceivable.
Seriously, did you just escape like this
Although their fate is still uncertain, the two are still on the run.
But Li Qiushui somehow felt at ease.
She couldn't help thinking.
Perhaps in the future, she and Li Changtian can have a small courtyard with wooden fences, fish tanks in the ceiling, and a hearth.
When spring is approaching, plant some mulberry and rice in the field, and when summer comes, go to the lotus pond to pick some juicy lotus root.
In autumn, pick some fresh fruits and vegetables, and in winter, warm two pots of wine to enjoy the cold snow and red plums.
Look, it's really weird, these things are obviously very far away, yet they appear in front of Li Qiushui's eyes one by one, making her happy and happy.
Probably sensing Li Qiushui's gaze, Li Changtian, who was walking in front of the horse, turned his head.
Li Qiushui looked at him with bright smiles in his eyes.
Suddenly! There was the sound of a sharp weapon piercing through the eardrum! A poison dart went straight into the neck of the horse under Li Changtian!
The horse screamed and neighed miserably, and fell down. Li Changtian's eyes shrank suddenly, and he fell heavily on the ground with the horse, sending up waves of dust.
"Changtian!!!" Li Qiushui screamed, tightened the reins, got off his horse, and ran towards Li Changtian.
Li Changtian fell heavily, his elbows and knees were all worn out, and he gasped in pain.
Li Qiushui hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, but in a short while, the two of them were surrounded by dozens of jackdaw assassins dressed in black.
The deep forest is secluded and the bamboo shadows are mottled. Han Ya walked slowly under the moonlight, like a lingering ghost.
Shen Chao was also among these people. He followed behind Han Ya, looked at Li Changtian, and sighed inaudibly. The sigh was all about the cause of calamity.
Han Ya looked at Li Qiushui, and asked in a flat tone: "Why didn't the princess return home in the middle of the night and left with others? If you feel uncomfortable living in Tianque Villa, why don't you tell me?"
Li Qiushui looked at Han Ya with fear and panic in his eyes.
Why
Why did Han Ya know about their escape so quickly
Even if the guards reported her leaving Tianque Mountain Villa, Han Ya should only know that she was going to get the winter clothes. Even if she was suspected, they should take some time to inquire and investigate.
How could she be so sure she was going to run away
Han Ya was not annoyed, he winked at Shen Chao, Shen Chao immediately understood, and asked the black-clothed assassin to separate Li Qiushui and Li Changtian.
Several Jackdaw Assassins rushed forward, dragged Li Qiushui away, kicked Li Changtian on his knees, and pinned him to the ground.
"Changtian!" Li Qiushui cried, but it was useless.
"You were the one who released Qin Jueming's adopted son, right?" Han Ya looked at Li Changtian condescendingly.
Li Changtian struggled angrily, but did not answer.
"Forget it, since you dare to take my prisoner away, you must be ready to pay with your life." Han Ya said coldly.
"Master Han!" Li Qiushui suddenly stepped forward and knelt in front of Han Ya, "Master Han, I have been married for the princess for fourteen years, and I have never had any disagreements with you. Today is just a moment of confusion and I did something wrong. Please Forgive me, my lord, please spare my life, I beg my lord Han."
Li Qiushui knocked her head heavily on the ground, and the green and white jade hairpin that tied her hair was shaken off and fell to the ground, and the black and green strands fell out instantly.
Han Ya looked at her, with no ups and downs in his tone: "You know, fourteen years ago, it was because you agreed to make a marriage for the princess that I spared your life."
Li Qiushui froze all over.
"However, it's been fourteen years. If there is no credit, there will be hard work. Get up and go back with me obediently. I won't touch you." Han Ya said lightly.
Li Qiushui raised his head and asked joyfully: "Thank you Lord Han for your forgiveness, we will be like cows and horses in the future..."
"Us?" Han Ya interrupted Li Qiushui coldly, and he laughed sarcastically, "I asked you to go back, but he was not included."
Li Qiushui raised her head in a daze. Her forehead was flushed because of the knock on the ground just now. Her messy black hair tangles behind her ears and hangs down her shoulders. Her lips were red from being bitten. Brother, please, please forgive him..."
"Okay, shut up." Han Ya was so bored, he bent down and picked up the white jade hairpin next to Li Qiushui, and handed it to her, "Either go back with me, or die here with him, you choose .”
"Sister, go back, you go back... um..." Li Changtian just shouted, but was kicked by Jackdaw Assassin, who strangled his neck and covered his mouth, so that he couldn't make a sound.
Li Qiushui trembled all over, she knelt on the ground and wanted to cry, after a long time, choked up several times, she raised her head, and slowly reached out to grab the green and white jade hairpin in Han Ya's palm.
A gratified smile appeared in Han Ya's eyes.
Floating clouds hide the moon, the biting cold wind makes the bamboo leaves rustle, the world is silent, and the killing intent is revealed in an instant!
Li Qiushui suddenly grabbed Han Ya's wrist, pulled him to stand up, walked around behind him in an instant, strangled Han Ya's neck with one hand, and held the silver needle against Han Ya's temple with the other.
"Master Han." Li Qiushui's blue hair swayed in the wind, and the moonlight was cool, she said coldly, "I don't choose any of them."
The situation was suddenly reversed, and the Jackdaw Assassins were startled, intending to step forward.
"Don't move! Anyone who moves again, I will kill him!" Li Qiushui shouted, her hand holding the silver needle exerted a little force, and some blood beads were pricked out.
Jackdaw Assassin didn't dare to act rashly anymore.
"Let go of him." Li Qiushui shouted at the assassins who restrained Li Changtian.
The Jackdaw Assassins looked at each other, and were about to let go of Li Changtian's hand, but Han Ya suddenly said lightly: "No, don't let go."
"You!" Li Qiushui gritted his teeth, his face sullen, and the hand holding the silver needle exerted some strength, "You don't think I dare to kill you, do you?"
"Do it, kid, do it, just talking and not doing it is a fake move." Han Ya calmly urged, he looked at the assassin next to Li Changtian, and said, "You, draw a knife and kill him, see if I die quickly , or he died sooner."
"..." Li Qiushui looked over in a panic, and shouted, "Don't move!"
At this moment, Li Qiushui heard a long sigh in his ear.
"Son." Han Ya's voice sounded like the whisper of a ghost from hell, "I gave you a chance."
Suddenly! Han Ya didn't care that the silver needle was still on his Mingmen acupoint, turned around, and the sharp silver needle in Li Qiushui's hand immediately drew a bloodstain on his face.
Li Qiushui's eyes were widened by Han Ya's determination and fearlessness, but immediately, apart from surprise, there was also...
and fear...
Han Ya mercilessly plunged the green and white jade hairpin into Li Qiushui's side neck.
The world was instantly silent.
Li Qiushui covered the neck that was gushing with blood, and stepped back in panic, his plain white clothes were stained dark red by the blood.
"No! Don't!!"
Li Changtian didn't know where the strength came from, but he broke free from the shackles of Jackdaw Assassin.
He rushed forward a few steps, and hugged Li Qiushui who was about to fall to the ground.
Li Changtian trembled all over, like a dying person, his blood red eyes were full of despair and fear, he clutched Li Qiushui's neck, trying to stop her bleeding, he shook his head violently, his voice trembled: "Sister, please don't, please Come on, don't have an accident, don't leave me alone, please, please, it will be fine, you will be fine, I only have you, don't leave me, it's all my fault, it's all my fault... "
Li Qiushui looked at him, tears rolled down her gentle eyes, she stretched out her blood-stained hand tremblingly, caressed Li Changtian's cheek, she cried and said: "Changtian, little idiot... let's go... let's go!" ah… "
That voice of 'go' seemed to have exhausted all her unwillingness, all her regrets, and exhausted all her energy.
The hand that she caressed Li Changtian's cheek finally dropped powerlessly...
"No! Don't go!! Please!!!" Li Changtian hugged her tightly, and suddenly started apologizing, "Don't go, don't leave me, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
I sincerely apologize, to Li Qiushui, to the world, to the gods, asking for forgiveness, forgiveness, and redemption.
But no matter how heartbreaking, no matter how hoarse his voice was, Li Changtian could not get any answer.
