The night is misty and misty, the future is unpredictable, and the strange rocks are jagged. Li Ce carefully followed the girl, and Prince Bian Tang, who had never experienced any hardship, frowned depressedly, "Will Emperor Xia send someone to rescue us?"
The woman didn't speak, and Li Ce didn't expect her to chat with him. After a while, he continued to mutter that the weather on the Hongchuan Plateau is too cold and it's not a place for people to stay.
"meeting."
A deep but affirmative voice suddenly sounded, Li Ce was taken aback, raised his head and asked in puzzlement, "What did you say?"
Those people don't know themselves and are not from Datong, so Yan Xun must be on his way to rescue him at this moment.
"It will definitely be." Chu Qiao said in a deep voice, her eyes were firm and flashed with bright light.
"Li Ce!" The girl's crisp voice echoed by the pool.
"Jojo, I'm still here."
The man stood up, shook his arms happily, watched Chu Qiao quickly jump to her side, looked behind her twice, and said, "You killed them all?"
Chu Qiao kept silent, came to the pool, scooped up a handful of water, and drank it.
"Qiao Qiao, that's amazing!" Li Ce happily squatted beside Chu Qiao, "Qiao Qiao, should we still go find them now?"
Chu Qiao frowned, Li Ce was taken aback, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and explained: "I think we can kill them all, so that it will be easier for us to escape."
The girl raised a finger, shook it slowly, and said in a deep voice: "First, it's me, not us. Second, there are thousands of enemies, how many do you think I can kill? If you still like Just now, when I see a mouse, I usually yell, I will be killed by you sooner or later. Don’t blame me for not notifying you in advance, when there is no way out, I am willing to hand you over to change my own way of life.”
Li Ce frowned, with a sad look, he tugged at the corner of Chu Qiao's clothes, "Qiao Qiao, don't be so heartless."
The girl suddenly let out a muffled snort, causing Li Ce to withdraw his hand in a hurry, only to see a large stream of blood oozing out of the place he just pulled, obviously another new injury.
Chu Qiao frowned and checked, only to see that there was an arrow wound under her left rib, the wound was not very big, but it was bleeding rapidly, and the pain was unbearable, she hadn't noticed such a wound just now.
"Qiao Qiao, you're injured again." Li Ce frowned, and said worriedly, "How is it? Does it matter? You have to hold on."
Chu Qiao put her hands on the wound, closed her eyes and leaned against the tree, and said in a deep voice, "Help me bandage."
"ah?"
"Help me bandage!"
The girl's voice suddenly became sharper. Li Ce nodded, clumsily tore off a piece of clothing, and lifted the girl's clothes, revealing her delicate skin that was stained red with blood.
An arrow was inserted deeply under the left rib, and both sides were swollen and red. Li Ce grabbed the broken arrow, frowned and said, "Qiao Qiao, call out if it hurts, or you can bite me."
Chu Qiao closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and remained silent.
Li Ce's face showed a rare solemnity, he held the arrow, frowned suddenly, and pulled it out!
Blood splattered, and Li Ce tightly covered the wound with a cloth strip. Chu Qiao grunted in pain, and fell forward. Li Ce opened his other arm and hugged the girl in his arms.
"Qiao Qiao?" Li Ce's voice was a little panicked, "How are you?"
"I can't die yet." A deep and hoarse voice sounded slowly, the girl took a deep breath, and leaned her chin on Li Ce's shoulder.
Li Ce breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly bandaged her to stop the bleeding. The night was dark, and the girl's body was as cold as ice. Li Ce suddenly realized that she could no longer endure another fight.
However, at this fatal moment, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded in the distance, and the two of them sat up straight like nervous rabbits, with their brows furrowed and their eyes sharp.
"What should I do?" Chu Qiao frowned, she had no fighting strength, and the smell of blood here was so heavy, there was only one dead end. The only way out is to take down Li Ce and exchange his outfit for a chaotic situation so that he can escape safely.
Her eyes slowly glanced at the man sitting beside her, and she saw that the man was frowning tightly, with a rare solemn and serious expression.
She is not a savior, and saving people must be within the scope of one's ability. When acting bravely threatens one's own life, a smart person will immediately know how to choose.
Besides, Li Ce's death will bring huge benefits to Yan Xun, she should know how to do it, she must know how to do it, and she should do so. She still has a heavier burden on her shoulders, and there are still people waiting for her. Her life is still precious, and she is not allowed to give up easily.
She touched the dagger tied to her calf heavily with her fingers, ready to strike.
"Qiao Qiao!" Li Ce suddenly turned his head, with a solemn expression, and said in a deep voice, "I'll lure people away, and you take the opportunity to escape, so be careful!"
Chu Qiao was taken aback, her eyes widened.
Li Ce took off his coat, put it on Chu Qiao, took out a long metal tube from his waist, handed it to her, and said, "I don't know martial arts, my father made this specially for me." As long as you pull the lead wire, fifty flying needles will be shot out. There is a strong poison on it, and you will die if you touch it. It can be fired three times in a row. You should keep it carefully, and it can save your life at a critical moment.”
Chu Qiao held the metal cylinder in a daze, frowned, and looked at Li Ce in puzzlement, as if she wanted to see through this man.
"Hehe, did you suddenly realize that you fell in love with me?"
Li Ce suddenly smiled, showing his white teeth, and patted Chu Qiao's shoulder with a smile, "It's okay, you still have a chance when you return to Zhenhuang."
"Li Ce!" Chu Qiao suddenly grabbed the man who was about to leave, and said in a deep voice, "This is for you, I don't need it."
"I don't need it either. In fact, I don't know how to use it. I heard them say it so scary. I was afraid that if the needle accidentally hit me, wouldn't that be a disaster? You give me a try first. If it works, I will use it later." Go back and make more batches."
Chu Qiao frowned, bit her lower lip lightly, finally let go of her palm, and said in a deep voice, "Be careful."
Li Ce smiled, "You too, I will learn Kung Fu from you after I go back."
Chu Qiao nodded.
The man stood up, staggered through the thorns on the ground, and walked towards the direction of noisy footsteps.
"Hey! You bring the knife!"
Li Ce didn't look back, but just waved his hands casually. Under the cold moonlight, I saw that the man was holding a jagged and uneven stone in his hand, which was stained with blood. His clothes were ragged, his steps were staggering, and he still had no trace of Prince Bian Tang's demeanor, like a down-and-out beggar.
Chu Qiao looked at his back, and gradually let go of the hand holding the dagger. At the moment before dawn, darkness enveloped the earth, and the sparkling lake surface reflected subtle light, cold and pale. It had been more than three hours since Li Ce left, and the footsteps on both sides of the strait sounded like ghosts urging their lives, and they finally caught up at this moment. Chu Qiao's shoulders were stained with blood, her lips were blue and white. The repeated battles and escapes from injuries had exhausted her physical strength to the maximum extent. However, when the scent of the enemy spread in her nostrils, she still stood up with great willpower. Eyes squinted like a nimble leopard.
In the darkness, the girl's figure was like a ghost, and she quickly shuttled through the dense forest, running for an hour before stopping. The hilltops in the distance were ablaze, and the bright red torches twisted into a sickle to urge death, and they were rapidly approaching here. Chu Qiaomo calculated the distance and speed of the two sides, then examined the wound on his shoulder, gently rubbed his forehead that was dizzy due to excessive blood loss, finally sat down, leaned against a big tree, and quietly rest.
The clear bird's cry came suddenly, Chu Qiao opened her eyes suddenly, and jumped up with a light body.
The morning sun shines through the leaves on the eyelids, with a warm temperature, and the cold dew condenses on the tip of the nose, crystal clear like crystals. A few skylarks passed through the clouds and stopped on the treetops to look at her curiously, and from time to time they wailed crisply, which was as sweet as the most skilled musicians in the Golden Palace.
Chu Qiao was stunned, she didn't expect that she had slept for so long, she reached out to touch her forehead, it was really hot, like a piece of burning coal, her throat was sore, her breathing was difficult, as if something was stuck in her throat between. There was no doubt that at such a fatal moment she was ill.
Fortunately, those people did not find them.
Just when Chu Qiao was about to breathe a sigh of relief, there was a sudden sound of footsteps. As soon as she raised her head, she heard a faint voice: "Are you awake?"
Zhuge Yue walked out from the depths of the dense forest in the winter morning light. He was wearing a dark purple brocade robe, which was the most fashionable style for the rich men in Zhenhuang City. The robe had big sleeves, layers of golden brocade, and purple brocade. There are complicated patterns painted on it, and the inside is carefully painted with various colored brocades to form tiny roses, which look colorful in the sun. A pair of black long hair is tied behind him, his long eyebrows are slanted, his eyes are like autumn water, as deep as a cold lake, his neck is as white as a woman's, his chin is slightly raised, his lips are bright red, standing in the forest against the light For a while, he looked at her indifferently, as if looking at a lifeless stone.
The same gorgeous clothes, but he wears them completely different from what Li Ce gives people. This man has a kind of beauty that is close to that of a monster, but the coldness and evil spirit in those eyes make people feel nothing against him. Playful heart.
Chu Qiao raised her head, looked at the uninvited guest, and said calmly, "Why are you here?"
"Where is Prince Li? Escaping? Dead? Or," he twitched his brows lightly, and asked in a calm tone, "You killed him?"
Chu Qiao ignored his question and asked directly, "How long have you been here?"
"I've been here since you fell asleep like a dead pig. Do you want to drink water?" Zhuge Yue shook the water bottle on his waist, seeing Chu Qiao staring at him without saying a word, he put down the water bottle.
"Why did you help me?"
Zhuge Yue smiled coldly and looked at her sideways, "You think I'm here to help you?"
He crossed his arms in front of his chest, leaned lazily on the tree trunk, looked at her leisurely, and said with a smile: "Xing'er, who do you think I am? Zhao Song? Yan Xun? I was trapped in that small room for more than ten years. Just blindly thinking that you are the only woman in the world? Or..." He leaned forward slightly, stared at her, and said quietly, "Do you think I am the best fool in the world, and I can be loved by you? Tricked again and again?"
He sneered, looked up at the sky, and said calmly: "I just want to see what happened to Li Ce, and to see how unlucky you and Yan Xun are. I didn't expect God to help you, and I killed you halfway. A stumbling block, ruined this good show."
