Xiao Ting woke up, she was dizzy and wanted to get up, but found that her hands and feet were also bound, and her body was curled up inside, it was difficult to move, let alone escape.
So, her voice became louder, "Is there anyone here? Is there anyone who is alive or panting?"
Her roar finally startled the man who stood there like a sculpture for a long time.
The man turned around and stood there against the light. He couldn't see his face clearly, but he could feel that he stared at the bag for a long time without moving.
It seems that he is struggling with something, or maybe he just doesn't want to get close.
However, it didn't take long for him to walk down.
He took out the long sword casually, stroked the bag and spread it apart, revealing a small head.
The man continued to swing his sword, and cut off the rope on her body, letting her go free.
Xiao Ting finally breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed her arms and legs, and was about to raise her head to thank the savior.
But just after she looked up and saw the face of the person in front of her clearly, she exclaimed directly.
"Thank you Sedum."
"Miss Xiao Liu."
Two voices came out of each other's mouths, both full of surprise.
'Swipe, swipe...'
Before they had any extra emotions, a few arrows were shot from the left, very sharp.
Xie Jingtian and Xiao Ting flew over at the same time, blocking each other's bodies, but because they were too fast, the two directly collided with each other and became gourds.
"Ouch..."
"Um… "
There was a sound not far away.
"Kill all of them and leave no one behind."
Such a cold voice made Xiao Ting and Xie Jingtian stunned at the same time.
At the same time, there was the sound of howling wind behind him, the sound of bows and arrows being shot, the sound of swords being drawn out of their sheaths, and the sound of hurried footsteps, all of them were rushing here.
It was a big melee, the two of them didn't have time to figure out the situation at hand, they looked at each other, Xiao Ting and Xie Jingtian said at the same time: "Jump!"
After finishing speaking, the two ran forward hand in hand, ran to the edge of the cliff and jumped directly.
Xie Jingtian doesn't know martial arts, and her three-legged cat's kung fu is not good enough for these people, it's better to fall to death than to be beaten into a sieve.
Sudden weightlessness, Xiao Ting shouted nervously.
"ah… "
There was wind pouring into her mouth, almost choking her out of breath, and she died directly.
Xie Jingtian didn't know what was being said, Xiao Ting asked loudly: "What did you say?"
Unfortunately, the wind was too strong, although Xie Jingtian's lips were moving, she still couldn't hear clearly.
"Oh, ah..."
The two fell directly onto the branches, breaking some branches and breaking their waists.
During this period, Xiao Ting held Xie Jingtian tightly, for fear that he would fall directly, even if he did not die, he would be seriously injured.
After several bumps, the two finally fell to the ground.
"Oh, my girl's waist is about to break."
Xiao Ting wailed before getting up from the ground, "How are you?"
Xie Jingtian moved his body, found nothing serious, stood up too, and said: "Fortunately, there are a few big trees here, which are rarely seen by people. These thick dead leaves have become life-saving things."
"It's called surviving a catastrophe, and there will be future blessings."
Xiao Ting gritted her teeth, rubbed Xiaoman's waist, and said boldly, she was hit a little bit badly just now, but fortunately she can walk.
"By the way, I didn't hear a word of what you just said."
Xie Jingtian's eyes were fixed, and then he said solemnly: "I'm sorry, those people came after me just now."
"Aiming at you?" Xiao Ting's big eyes blinked, and there were still some dead leaves on her hair. Xie Jingtian nodded, walked forward, and reached out to take the leaves off her head.
The expression is extremely gentle.
"That's good, I was scared to death. I thought they were coming to kill me, so I just said, didn't I steal a sip of their tea, and then I was killed before I drank it. This is too unreasonable."
Listening to Xiao Ting muttering, Xie Jingtian didn't ask any questions, just quietly listening to her talking about what happened during these days.
Xiao Ting raised her head suddenly, her eyes sparkled, and she asked, "You, aren't you dead?"
It was only then that she realized that something was wrong, the meeting was very hasty just now, and she had gone through a thrilling chase.
I didn't have time to think about it, and now I'm shocked.
Xie Jingtian was already dead, and died protecting her during the weird assassination outside the palace that day.
The death was real, and she was sure he was dead.
Although she didn't witness what happened afterwards, she heard that Xie Jingtian's body was robbed, but...
"Are you a human or a ghost?"
Xiao Ting took a few steps back, and then her expression became extremely serious, her eyes became brighter, and blue flames danced between her palms and fingers.
She did not shy away from showing her unknown side in front of Xie Jingtian.
Xie Jingtian was surprised at first, then his face sank, and said: "I am human."
It's just that his expression is not very good-looking.
Xiao Ting was unmoved, and said: "I saw you dead with my own eyes, why did you appear here alive again?"
For these, she does not believe, she believes what she sees even more.
No matter who the man in front of him is, whether he is her savior or not, he cannot break the rules of heaven.
Those who should not exist in the world, everything will send him away.
Xie Jingtian frowned, and said: "If possible, I would not like to live like this."
As he spoke, he unbuttoned his belt and took off his shirt, revealing his chest and back, Xiao Ting stared.
There was indeed a sword wound there, and although it was scarred, there were still obvious traces.
Can't fake it.
"No one told me why I didn't die."
Feeling the loneliness in his tone, Xiao Ting stepped forward to look at him carefully again, and finally confirmed that he is indeed a human, a living person.
She touched the scar several times, it was not fake.
If there is no other weirdness in his body, then he is real.
"God gave you another chance, that's a good thing, why are you so depressed, be happy..."
Xiao Ting gave him a big roll of the eyes, the two were about to say something when they heard a large number of footsteps.
Without concealing it, he surrounded them.
"Hide quickly."
Xiao Ting pulled Xie Jingtian to hide, "Where to hide?"
Without further ado, Xiao Ting picked up the dead leaves on the ground and said, "Let's get down on the ground and escape from disaster first. These people have dog noses, and they all chased them down."
"How do they know that falling from such a high place won't kill anyone?"
The last sentence, Xiao Ting was muttering, while pulling the dead leaves.
But before she dug a human-shaped hole, those people came to her.
Xiao Ting stepped forward subconsciously, protecting Xie Jingtian behind her, making boxing gestures, jumping up and down, and said: "If you want to hurt him, you have to step over this girl's body."
After watching so much TV, this sentence left a deep impression on her, and she was full of pride.
So she moved out.
Unexpectedly, the person on the opposite side was stunned for a moment, and then collectively, he knelt down in a meow.
Shouted loudly, said: "The subordinate is late, please punish the eldest prince."
"Big, big, big prince?"
Xiao Ting was stunned by this address, she looked left and right, except for the soldiers kneeling on the floor, there were only her and Xie Jingtian.
It must not be her, no matter what else, at least the gender does not match.
Then, only Xie Jingtian was left.
No, isn't he the only son of the Xie family
That eldest prince should be named Chu.
"Jiyao." At this moment, a woman's voice came.
Xie Jingtian walked forward, met the woman, and bowed his hands to meet, "Why is the concubine mother here?"
Mother, concubine mother
I'm dizzy, what is this.
Xiao Ting wanted to ask, but thinking of Xie Jingtian whispering in her ear before he went over, she had no choice but to keep silent.
The two exchanged a few words over there, and Xiao Ting noticed that the woman's eyes swept to her side from time to time, with undisguised scrutiny, some disgust, and frowning.
There is helplessness, there is dislike, and the emotions are very complicated.
Xiao Ting saw that the two of them couldn't finish talking for a while, but fortunately she found a tree to lean against. She had a headache, a toothache, a leg pain, and her whole body ached.
Finally, before she became extremely impatient, the mother and son finished talking.
The woman came over and said, "Your name is Xiao Ting?"
"yes."
The woman was about to ask something, Xie Jingtian came over, supported Xiao Ting, and said: "What does the concubine mother have to say, please ask when you go back, she is still injured in order to save her son!"
Xiao Ting was taken by them to Yuntai Mountain, entered a courtyard, closed the gate and finally came to that peaceful place.
"Here, I was here just now."
It was here that she was beaten with a sap and taken to the back mountain.
Xie Jingtian glanced at his concubine mother, who was Concubine Chen back then.
"I'll talk about it later, let the doctor take a look at the injury first."
The doctor was ready, and while feeling her pulse, Xiao Ting kept her mouth open and asked many questions.
Xie Jingtian returned her one by one.
Not long after, the doctor got up and said that her body was in good condition and there was nothing serious about it. It was just some trauma, and it would be fine to prescribe some medicine to recuperate, and she should not do too much exercise on weekdays.
After saying this, Xie Jingtian asked him to back down.
The door opened and closed, Xiao Ting looked out treacherously, and said: "Aren't you the son of the Xie family? How did you become the eldest prince?"
"Also, you said she was your concubine mother? What's going on?"
"Let me tell you, even if you are legally illiterate, you should know that impersonating a relative of the emperor is a capital offense, not to mention that you are impersonating the emperor's son, the eldest prince."
In Xiao Ting's limited mind, the Great Prince of the Empire does not exist, and she has never heard of it.
But even so, not everyone can impersonate, Xie Jingtian is not an unknown person, as long as he appears in the imperial city, he will be recognized immediately.
What's more, the emperor was very familiar with him when he entered the palace.
"I'm not pretending."
Seeing that Xiao Ting was about to stand up, Xie Jingtian immediately reached out and pushed her back, letting her lie on the bed and rest.
"My surname is Chu and my name is Jiyao. I am the eldest prince of the empire..."
Xie Jingtian didn't hide it from her, and told Xiao Ting exactly.
