Fifty-fifth
Whether it's Nan Chengyao or Yun, I'm sure they will be able to hear the unusualness in my words and know what to do. ∮ Yan Moxuan ∮ ad-free ∮
I didn't have time to delay any longer, so I mounted the foal that the guards had drawn from the barracks, and galloped in the direction of Aoki Cliff.
Aoki Cliff is a high cliff about ten miles south of Yecheng, because of the danger of the ground, even though it is famous, it is rarely visited.
In the distance, I saw two vague figures standing in front of the cliff, riding their horses closer, the person with a haggard face still with tears on it was Shuying, her hands were tied, * was blocked and she couldn't make a sound, between her neck, a long sword was horizontal, Zhenyu stood alone behind her and coerced her, her eyes looked at me coldly.
"Why is it only you, Master Ming? I obviously heard that he was arrested and put in the Yecheng prison, how is he now?" She saw me coming alone, she became anxious, and the long sword in her hand followed to Shuying's neck, although it did not hurt her, but the threat was self-evident.
"Miss Zhenzhu and the other two eldest brothers didn't come with the girl, so you don't have to worry, Brother Dong is the same as them now, okay. ”
I saw the strange look on her face, and I knew that my guess was not wrong, she came this time, most of the time she came to hide Zhenzhu and only wanted to save her sweetheart's life.
If she's the only one, then maybe I'll have a chance to find a way to have both.
My right hand is hidden under the wide sleeve of my shirt, and in the palm of my hand there are golden needles shining brightly.
This set of tanghua needles was created for me by Su Xiumian himself, one move and one style, holding a point.
Although I haven't practiced for too long, I am still sure that I can save Shuying, but at the moment they are standing on the edge of the cliff, and any slight mistake may cause them to fall down, and I have to guard against it.
And in my heart, I am absolutely unwilling to hurt Zhenyu unless I have to, even if there is no kindness between her and me, but she is risking her life for Dong Ming, I can't save Dong Ming, and now, I don't want to involve his maid again.
"Since he's fine, why don't you bring him here?!" Zhenyu's voice rang out again, pulling my thoughts back.
I watched her every move closely, clenched the tanghua needle in my hand, and said calmly: "The girl also knows that Brother Dong is now in the Yecheng prison, heavily guarded, and I have no way to release him." ”
The expression on Zhenyu's face was faintly frenzied: "What? Aren't you the third princess of the dynasty? How can there be no way?!"
I still looked at her quietly: "The prison guards respect me, but they won't listen to me, and now the only one who can let Dong Ming go is the Third Highness." I begged him, but he wouldn't let me. ”
"Since you can't save Master Ming, what are you doing here?!" Zhenyu's voice had a hysterical meaning, she grabbed Shuying's hair and pushed her forward a step: "Don't you care about your maid's life?
I felt a pain in my heart, but I didn't dare to show anything on my face, and still looked at her calmly and said, "I naturally care, otherwise I wouldn't have come here today." ”
She laughed bitterly: "You can't save Master Ming, do you still expect me to let her go?"
I shook my head slightly: "I naturally know it's impossible, but what if I have a way to get Brother Dong out of prison?"
"Then you just said ...... again"
"What I just said is that I can't save him alone, but if you were added, the result would be different. I interrupted her and spoke in an unquestioning tone, "The reason why His Royal Highness did not allow my request was because he would not care about the life of a maid, but it was impossible for him not to care about me. So now, I come in person, exchange my own shadow, and with me in hand, your coercion can succeed. ”
Zhenyu's face was hesitant and distrustful, and Shuying listened to my words, desperately struggling and shaking her head, and the blocked mouth couldn't help but let out a whimper, I smiled at her comfortingly, and said softly: "Zhenyu girl, the Third Highness doesn't care about Shuying's life, but in my heart, she is like my own sister, and I can't put her safety at risk." If she wants to defend me even if she wants to kill herself, why can't I do something for her?"
She looked at me, then at Shuying, her expression was a little loose, and I forced myself to look directly into her eyes without avoiding it, and continued to speak softly: "Miss Zhenyu, Brother Dong is kind to me, you know this, Murong Qing has not forgotten it for a day. Now that he is in trouble, how can I sit idly by? Believe me, I want him to be safe as you are. ”
The suspicion on her face gradually dissipated, but she still hesitated, and asked with a little uncertainty: "Dong Ye said that the third princess is extremely smart, how do I know if what you are saying now is true or false, and why should I believe you?"
I looked at her quietly, and said softly, "Do you have any other choice?"
She was stunned for a moment, speechless.
And I sighed lightly: "Miss Zhenyu, I am already willing to exchange myself for Shuying, what else is the girl worried about?"
Zhenyu gritted his teeth and said, "You get off the horse and walk over slowly." ”
I didn't speak, dismounted, and walked step by step towards the edge of the cliff, my hand hidden in my sleeve, holding the golden needle steadily.
Shuying doesn't know anything about martial arts, and if we can let her go first, the possibility of us getting out will be greatly increased.
Zhenyu tugged at Shuying's clothes tightly with one hand, and held the long sword with the other, I knew she was nervous, because the knuckles of her sword were faintly blue and white.
"You turn your back and walk back slowly!" she suddenly shouted as I was about ten paces away from her.
I did as I said, slowly retreating step by step, and suddenly felt a pain in my hair, the long sword in Zhenyu's hand had reached my neck, and Shuying was pushed out a few steps and fell to the ground by her force.
Shuying stood up from the ground, still with her hands tied and unable to speak, but she looked at me sadly and refused to leave.
I thought to myself that the sooner I got out of this cliff, the better, so I spoke to her gently, and gave her a secret glance to go to the foal first—
"Shuying, you will immediately go back to the official office of Yecheng, tell the Third Highness about my situation, and tell him that if you want me to live, you will let Dong Ming go!"
Zhenyu heard what I said, and her body, which had been tense, gradually relaxed, and was about to carry me away from the cliff, when she suddenly saw a person and a horse galloping in the distance.
Her hand holding the sword tightened, and she said sharply, "You actually called someone!"
I opened my mouth flatly, but I clenched the golden needle in my hand: "No, why don't you wait until you see it clearly before making a conclusion." ”
The figure was getting closer, it turned out to be Zhenzhu, she was shouting from afar: "Zhenyu, come here, don't be a fool!" Master Ming had already committed suicide in the cell last night, and the announcements were posted on the gate of Yecheng, don't believe her nonsense——"
Zhenyu was shocked and painful, and shouted uncontrollably: "What?!"
But I realized that at this moment, I had no choice but to do it, and as soon as I raised my sleeves, the golden needle in my hand flew straight into her sword-holding right arm.
She was in pain, the long sword "clanged" to the ground, and then bounced off the cliff, I immediately didn't want to drag Shuying to gallop, our horse is not far away, as long as you get there, you will have a chance to get out, although Zhenzhu also has a horse, but she may not be willing to take her life to accompany her sister to mess around.
"Third princess, you are so ruthless!" Zhenyu behind him screamed miserably, and he didn't care about dragging me from behind.
When people are desperate and reckless, they can always inspire amazing power, and Zhenyu at this moment is like this.
My body and arms were tightly bound by her, and I couldn't move at all, and Zhenyu, who was still in the distance, called urgently, and Zhenyu didn't hear it at all.
Shuying's hands were tied, unable to come forward to help me, in a hurry, she bent down and opened her mouth, biting Zhenyu's fingers fiercely, Zhenyu was in pain, instinctively let go, but immediately clamped me more desperately, I listened to her miserable and frantic voice ringing in my ears-
"Since Master Ming is no longer there, then it is not interesting for me to live in this world, why don't I drag you along and go to his funeral!"
Before the words fell, she had already wrapped her hands and feet around my body, and fell to the ground with me, and then rolled desperately, I only had time to reach out and push Shuying hard, and then I felt my body fall in the air, and in addition to the sound of the wind, it was her terrible and treacherous laughter, which lasted for a long time, until, until the boundless darkness surrounded me.
