At this time, Ling Qingwan's face was pale and she was very weak. She covered her chest and collapsed in Wei Xun's arms, and was carried to the ground by Wei Xun.
Perhaps it was because the wind was too strong and she caught a cold. Ling Qingwan felt her stomach churning and she felt like vomiting.
"How did we get here?" Ling Qingwan paused for a long time, raised her head and looked around, only to find that she was now outside the city gate.
There was an empty space around them, with no end in sight. Without waiting for Wei Xun's answer, Ling Qingwan suddenly came up with an idea.
Wei Xun had clearly stopped just now, but suddenly sped up and ran towards the city gate. He must have noticed someone following him and was worried about being ambushed in Tokyo. There were many people in the city, and if a fight really broke out, innocent people would surely be harmed. Right now, it was all deserted, and at least within close range, it was difficult for the other party to hide.
Ling Qingwan was still thinking, when she heard the sound of wind. Wei Xun acted quickly and hugged Ling Qingwan tightly again. The arrow passed by them.
Then, arrows rained down from the sky in a black mass. Wei Xun held Ling Qingwan with one hand and held the sword with the other to defend himself.
When all the arrows fell to the ground, twenty or thirty men in black rushed out from all directions and rushed towards Wei Xun and Ling Qingwan.
"Are you injured?" Ling Qingwan smelled blood and then looked at Wei Xun's arm.
Wei Xun had no time to take care of his wounds. This group of people came with great force, and Ling Qingwan didn't know any martial arts. He had to protect the unarmed Ling Qingwan and defeat the opponent at the same time. Wei Xun was unable to do both.
No matter how agile Wei Xun was, he was outnumbered, not to mention that these people were all top masters, and Wei Xun had to fight twenty alone. He gradually retreated to the edge of the open space and exchanged a glance with Ling Qingwan. Ling Qingwan immediately understood what he meant. After nodding, the two of them ran away along the mountain road behind them.
Before escaping, Wei Xun made sure that these people did not have bows and arrows or darts. However, the assassins kept chasing them, so Wei Xun and Ling Qingwan fled all the way to the end of the mountain road.
It was a cliff, and it seemed bottomless when you looked down.
Wei Xun and Ling Qingwan interlocked their fingers tightly.
"Now let me see how you can escape." The leading man in black sneered.
Ling Qingwan frowned.
After her rebirth, her only thought was to protect the people around her and live this life in peace. Ling Qingwan didn't expect that death would come so quickly.
"Miss Ling Er, please come back with us." The man in black turned to Ling Qingwan.
Are these people here to see her? Ling Qingwan couldn't help but be shocked.
In an instant, several people popped up in Ling Qingwan's mind. The Queen, Old Madam Ling, Ling Chuchu, Ling Feng...
It must not be someone from the Marquis' Mansion. If she is killed now and found out, it will not only offend the General's Mansion, but also the Prince's Mansion and the Eastern Palace. No matter how stupid the people in the Marquis' Mansion are, they will not invite trouble at this time. Moreover, the Queen and Ling Chuchu just saw Wei Xun taking her away. Even if the two hated her to the core, they would not kill Wei Xun along with her.
In this case, the cost of killing her would be high.
But who else wanted her life? Ling Qingwan really couldn't remember.
"Do you believe me?"
Suddenly, a clear voice came from her ears. Ling Qingwan turned her head and met Wei Xun's eyes.
It feels so good to have someone accompany you. In her previous life... In her previous life, she faced death alone. Two lines of hot tears burst out of her eyes, and Ling Qingwan lost her balance. She jumped off the cliff while being held by Wei Xun.
pain.
My whole body aches.
Ling Qingwan woke up from her coma.
She looked around in a daze. The mountains and fields were covered with weeds. Wei Xun was lying under her with his head resting on a branch.
Ling Qingwan was horrified and quickly struggled to get up.
Although she was in pain, it was not unbearable. She was lucky not to die after falling from such a high cliff. Ling Qingwan thought she was at the gate of Yama Palace when she opened her eyes.
"Wei Xun!" Ling Qingwan squatted down and called out several times.
Just because she was fine didn't mean Wei Xun was fine. When the two of them fell, Wei Xun was holding her. She was able to escape the disaster only because she pressed on Wei Xun after landing.
If anything happened to Wei Xun, Ling Qingwan would feel extremely guilty until her death.
Thinking of this, Ling Qingwan's nose felt sore and tears fell like broken strings.
“Wei Xun…” Ling Qingwan became more and more upset the more she shouted, and her voice trembled more violently.
"I'm not dead yet, why are you crying?"
Wei Xun felt that he was woken up by Ling Qingwan. He was just sleeping when he heard bursts of shouting mixed with sobbing, forcing him to wake up.
"You're awake!" Ling Qingwan's eyes lit up. She hurriedly helped Wei Xun sit up.
Wei Xun saw that Ling Qingwan's palm was scraped and her clothes were torn in several places, and she must have suffered many injuries. He felt so distressed that he tore off a corner of his clothes and wrapped Ling Qingwan's palm.
"It's just a scratch, it's nothing serious." Ling Qingwan wanted to take her hand back, but Wei Xun was too strong and she couldn't break free.
"There are many things that require hands to be used, so it's inevitable that you'll get bumped into things. Even though it's just a scratch, it really hurts." Wei Xun's tone was serious, not allowing for any rebuttal.
"Besides, both of my hands are injured now. You need to take care of them so that we can find a way to leave here. If you don't protect yourself, I will suffer as well."
Ling Qingwan was finally persuaded by Wei Xun and obediently let him bandage her.
It was obvious that Wei Xun fell off the cliff and was seriously injured because of her, and it was obvious that Wei Xun himself was the most seriously injured. But when he woke up, he did not blame Ling Qingwan at all, but was concerned about the injury on Ling Qingwan's hand.
Ling Qingwan's heart was filled with waves, and strange emotions arose spontaneously. The words "Do you believe me?" echoed repeatedly in Ling Qingwan's mind.
"I'm sorry." Ling Qingwan said to Wei Xun.
She felt very guilty. If she didn't apologize, Ling Qingwan would be unable to get over it.
"You are not allowed to say sorry to me." Wei Xun's peach blossom eyes were extremely deep, staring at Ling Qingwan. "Including in the future, don't let me hear words like thank you or sorry, remember?"
Wei Xun is Wei Xun, born with an aura that overpowers others. If he ordered Ling Qingwan like this on normal days, he would definitely be scolded, but today he was doing Ling Qingwan a favor, and Ling Qingwan rarely agreed obediently.
“Have you been here before?”
After confirming that the two were not in danger of death and apologizing, it was time to deal with the serious matters. Ling Qingwan and Wei Xun had to find a way to leave this place as soon as possible and return to Tokyo City.
Ling Qingwan only suffered minor injuries, which were not serious. However, Wei Xun was seriously injured, and Ling Qingwan was afraid that if she was treated too late, the condition would become more serious.
"No." Wei Xun shook his head.
Ling Qingwan suddenly felt the pressure. Since they fell from the cliff and could not find a shortcut, they could only climb to the top step by step. Wei Xun was injured, his hands were weak, and his legs were inconvenient. He could climb up, but it would take at least a few days.
"First, walk along a road and see if you can meet people from the nearby village."
