Chapter Ninety-Eight: Life Hangs by a Thread
"Stop it!" The chaotic scene of the entire battle was like a freeze frame because of these five words of Yuan Chengcheng, and everyone looked at the source of the sound in unison.
Yuan Chengcheng stood out of the carriage trembling with fear in her heart, she was very afraid of death and pain, she hadn't even rubbed her skin before she met Huangfu Yehan, but at this time she had no room to retreat. She is the princess of Huaguo, she can be assassinated and die, but she can't lose face of Huaguo because she is afraid of death: "I am Yuan Chengcheng, if your target is me, let them go!" ”
"Princess?" Hongchan looked at Yuan Chengcheng in surprise, she has always been a flower raised in a greenhouse, she has never experienced the ups and downs outside, since when has she become so strong?
"Princess!" Yu Zigao said excitedly, "The lowly people swear to protect the princess to the death, and they would rather be wiped out than let these people hurt the princess by a hair!" The accompanying guards were also enthusiastic, and they all said that they would rather die to protect the princess.
Yuan Chengcheng was full of emotion when he heard it, but this kind of emotion quickly turned into endless bitterness. They are just an ordinary guard, and the other party is a group of well-trained killers, but in a short time, they have already lost most of their brothers, and even Yu Zigao is seriously injured, and if they continue to fight, they will only delay time.
"The soldiers of Huaguo are not afraid of death, how can the princess of Huaguo be greedy for life and afraid of death!" Yuan Chengcheng looked at Yu Zigao meaningfully, "Don't make senseless sacrifices, Huaguo is still waiting for you to go back and protect!" ”
Yu Zigao immediately understood what she meant, the princess wanted to sacrifice herself to protect the only bloodline of the Hua Kingdom! His originally determined expression hesitated for a moment, but when he thought about his duties, his expression immediately became firm again: "No, we can't let go of the princess!" ”
"You ......" Yuan Chengcheng was just about to persuade him again, but the sky that was already a little gloomy suddenly thundered to cover her voice, and a few drops of water fell out of the clouds sparsely, and then fell faster and faster, more and more densely, and the sky changed.
"Don't worry, none of you can run away today!" Having seen enough of their pushing and going, the masked man led by him lost his patience, fearing that this sudden rain would interfere with their plans again, and slashed down with his right hand, "Leave no one behind!" ”
As soon as the word "stay" was finished, the group of killers immediately rushed up like crazy again, and the attack was even more fierce than just now. Yuan Chengcheng was so frightened that he couldn't help but take two steps back, and the one under his feet did not stand firmly and sat on the car, and thanks to this fall, the most deadly flying knife fell into the air and slashed on the car door. The sturdy door crossbar was split into two sections because of this knife, and if Yuan Chengcheng didn't just dodge, the consequences could be imagined.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and the ruts of the carriage of Yuan Chengcheng were also washed away by the rain, although Huangfu had brought the best hunting dogs in advance, but the washing of the rain greatly reduced the smell she left along the road, and the hounds were hesitant to chase to a fork in the road.
Although Huangfu Yehan didn't say anything to worry about along the way, seeing that time was passing little by little, they were still clueless, and he couldn't help but become anxious. The green horse walked in place in a circle, and the hounds still couldn't make a decision when they looked around, and Huangfu Yehan finally couldn't help but wave his whip and scolded angrily: "Do all your hounds have no sense of smell?" A little rain will not find people, what is the use of asking for them! ”
"Your Majesty, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and this is not the way! Those people may have caught up...... "Luo Ziqi was anxious to turn into a hound to help Huangfu find the princess of Allure in the cold, but what's the use of being anxious, the more they hesitate for a while, the more dangerous it will be, and now they must make a decision early!
Huangfu clenched the reins of the horse in his hand and spun in circles in the same place, trying to get rid of the situations that may have happened in his mind, he can't mess up, Yuan Chengcheng is still waiting for him to save her, but there are so many ways to return to Huaguo, which way will she go! Huangfu Yehan tried hard to recall the fragments of Yuan Chengcheng's daily life in his mind, trying to find out some of her preferred thinking habits when making decisions, so as to speculate her choice of path, but at every critical moment, those dangerous situations couldn't stop popping up to interfere with his thoughts, where would she go!
"Go east! She must have gone east! Huangfu Yehan suddenly waved his hand at the person behind him, "Immediately chase this road to the east!" ”
Huangfu Yehan never doubted his judgment, but this time he lost his previous self-confidence, it was like a gamble, once he made a mistake, he couldn't afford to lose. The Imperial Forest Army hurriedly chased forward for a distance, and Huangfu Yehan suddenly stopped, changed his tone and ordered: "Divide half of the people to chase west!" If you find the trace of the princess of Allure, send someone back immediately to report it! ”
"Yes!" A commander of the Imperial Forest Army ordered to lead the troops away, but the worry in Huangfu Yehan's heart was not reduced at all, he only brought three hundred people, who knows how many forks in the road ahead, as long as there is a mistake in his decision, what should Yuan Chengcheng do?
Ye Sheng, who was originally staying in the car, climbed out in worry because he couldn't see Yuan Chengcheng, and Yuan Chengcheng was afraid that those people would hurt him and hurriedly escorted him into his arms. The pouring rain drenched Yuan Qingcheng and couldn't open his eyes, and it was even more difficult to successfully dodge the various weapons that flew over from time to time, but she didn't care about this, she just blindly used her body to protect Huangfu Yesheng in her arms from getting him hurt.
"Aunt Wang......" Huangfu Yesheng couldn't help but hug Yuan Chengcheng and cried, not because he was afraid, but because of his previous suspicion of Yuan Chengcheng. Aunt Wang protected him with her life, how could he suspect that Aunt Wang would help Brother Wang harm him! Yuan Chengcheng didn't know Huangfu Yesheng's complicated thoughts, but he was frightened by this scene, and tried to comfort him: "Don't be afraid Yesheng, we will be fine, your brother Wang will definitely come to save us!" "It's just that the situation is so urgent, can he catch up?
The protection of the guards became more and more stretched, and Yuan Chengcheng was almost cut down several times, but fortunately, Yu Zigao was barely blocked by the side all the time. But no matter how high Yu Zigao's martial arts are, he can't help the killers to besiege him in turn, his protective circle has more and more flaws, and finally a killer caught the loophole, and stabbed straight at Yuan Chengcheng, Yuan Chengcheng knew that he would not escape death this time, and he only wanted to be able to protect Ye Sheng in his arms and subconsciously hugged him tightly. At this moment, an anxious voice suddenly came from a distance: "Stop! ”
