Chapter 45
Time passed minute by minute, Xiao Ao approached step by step, he looked at the dagger stuck horizontally in Qi Ye's shoulder, and with a force in his hand, the dagger stabbed into the flesh a few more points.
Qi Ye snorted, but the strength in his hand did not relax.
"General!" Jin Wuwei shouted behind him, Xiao Ao turned around and stopped their advance: "The emperor has an order, anyone who assists the Turkic thieves to enter the customs will be killed!
"Okay, you Xiao Ao, even my father and emperor have moved out! If something happens to me, you won't be afraid of your head!" I shouted with all my might, and my voice reached the cliff without any difference.
Xiao Ao sneered, leaned down and looked at me with a smile: "The emperor's order is hard to disobey, princess, you and this Turkic thief are grasshoppers on the same rope now, if I save you, won't it mean saving him? If he is allowed to run away and threaten the emperor, the last general will not be able to afford even if he has ten heads!"
"You!" I stared at him viciously, "If you don't save you today, you will kill the star slave, and retribution will always fall on your head!"
Xiao Ao got carried away and said: "I just acted on orders, but the princess talked about retribution, which really made the last general's heart cold." As he spoke, he burst out laughing.
I looked at him with contempt and an arrogant expression, just like a villain's ambition. At this time, Qi Ye quietly let go of the hand that was holding me, and slowly stretched out towards the shoulder with the dagger in it.
My mind spun rapidly, and I hurriedly opened my mouth to divert Xiao Ao's attention: "General, listen, it seems that there is a eunuch who is passing through the news that my father's imperial drive has arrived in ......."
Xiao Ao was stunned for a moment, then disdainful, not noticing Qi Ye's every move beside him: "Yizhou is still half a day's trip from here, do you think I will ......"
Before the words fell, Qi Ye suddenly pulled out the dagger buried deep in his shoulder, and pressed it against Xiao Ao's throat.
"If you don't want to die, save them!"
"Let it go...... Let go of me!" Xiao Ao's face instantly turned blue: "The general and the princess really have a set!"
I knew in my heart that Xiao Ao wanted to put me and Helan to death, and if he could pull down Yuwen Qi to be buried with him at night, he would be even more happy. Helplessly, he was really reckless, looked down on Qi Ye, and overestimated himself.
The blood-stained dagger stuck in Xiao Ao's throat, controlling him and having to reach out and grab me, lifting my whole body up.
I slowly approached Qi Ye little by little, and suddenly there was a sound of rustling under my feet, and a pungent smell filled the air, as if something was burning, and I looked down to see that Helan Lin was carrying phosphorite gunpowder on his body!
"Helan Lone, you're crazy!"
Helan sneered: "The people of the Central Plains bully the more and the less, and the cliff is surrounded by heavy troops, what is waiting for me is death! Unless Yuwen Qiye agrees to make a deal with me, I will lose this gunpowder, otherwise we will all die!"
Yuwen Qiye asked with a cold face, "What is the transaction?"
"I have a secret here. I guess this secret is more important than life not only to me, to you, but to all of us......"
"Don't you think!" Xiao Ao and I interrupted him at the same time to continue, and immediately turned away stiffly when they met each other's evil eyes.
I don't know exactly which secret he's going to exchange, but I don't have the chips to bet. My life experience, even if it is just his words, will definitely set off a storm in the city.
Sure enough, some people will be so scared that they don't even dare to ask for their lives. Helan smiled contemptuously, grabbing my right foot with both hands.
I watched the phosphorus fire on his body burn little by little, and Qi Ye pulled me without the slightest intention of letting go. I was like a grasshopper on a hot pan, with a cold sweat breaking out on my back.
"Whoa—"
A large rock where Xiao Ao was lying on his stomach suddenly collapsed, and when he dodged, Yuwen Qiye's dagger that was originally against his neck was deflected and slipped from his hand. I saw the opportunity to break away from Xiao Ao's palm, and quickly grabbed the dagger, the rock almost smashed on Helan Lin's body, and I slashed at the back of his hand that grabbed my ankle while he didn't come back to his senses.
Helan was in pain and suddenly let go, I raised one foot and was about to kick him, but I didn't want him to get up, and I jumped in the air and tied me in his arms.
The burning fire letter was next to my waist, Xiao Ao was broken free by me, and when he saw that the momentum was not right, he got up and wanted to escape. Cold sweat soaked on Qi Ye's forehead, and beads of blood appeared on the injured part of his shoulder.
My voice trembled: "Kuro, let go of me...... Hurry up!"
Helan who was attached to me showed a grim face, and looked at Xiao Ao who had just turned around: "Do you want to run?
As he spoke, he snatched the dagger from my hand, and with a force in his hand, a sharp cold light grazed my cheek.
A man's terrible scream rang in my ears, and then it came to an abrupt end. The smell was blowing, and I heard the sound of severed arteries bursting plasma from the cliffs, and a red rain suddenly fell above my head, scarlet liquid wetting my cheeks.
I was stunned, my eyes widened in disbelief and I looked at Yuwen Qiye in disbelief.
The air instantly became stagnant - "General Xiao!" the soldier shouted, breaking the silence after the arrival of the Grim Reaper. The unexpected change made Yu Lin Wei panic, "Xiao Jun was actually killed by Turkic thieves!"
Xiao Ao was killed by a knife, and Yu Lin had no scruples - "Brothers, release the arrow!"
Countless cold arrows shot out in an instant, as if they had eyes. I couldn't move in Helan's cold embrace, and his brutal methods made me feel intimidating.
"Protect the general, protect the princess!" In desperation, Jin Wu poured in from all directions and built a human wall for us within a radius of five miles with his flesh.
The cold arrows shot by Yulin were like crackling raindrops, the blood in the air became more and more intense, and the screams in my ears were endless, my vision was blurred by a bloody light, and I desperately shouted to Qi Ye: "You hurry up and let go!" There have been countless innocent lives behind us who have lost their lives for us!"
"Do you think that even if I let go, I will be able to live up to everyone?
Yuwen Qiye's roar gradually weakened in the sound of killing, and smashed into my heart, which made people confused. His words circled around my ears several times, and I suddenly had a stirring reaction.
"Kuro!
As soon as my cry burst through my throat, a golden shadow fell straight above my head, making me dizzy. When I lost my mind, I felt a powerful force throw me from my waist.
Yellow sand rose on the flat ground, my mind suddenly went blank, the whistling wind accompanied by the sword light and sword shadow, and the world stood still in an instant - "High Breath Moon, Hell Yellow Spring, I'll go for you!"
