Chapter 104: Embattled
Ye Aoxue took the fire fold he handed over and entered the black hole.
The black hole is cold and swishing, and the walls are all rough dirt, because it is relatively narrow, so it is inevitable to rub on his body, but the passage is very stable, so it should be as Chu Yatian said, it is a passage dug specifically for his escape.
After walking for more than a quarter of an hour, the passage began to become wider, and Ye Aoxue lit the third fire.
After walking for about half an hour, Ye Aoxue found that there was a light not far ahead, and knew that it was not far from the exit, thinking that she was about to escape from that damp hell, her heartbeat accelerated violently.
Walking to the exit, Ye Aoxue was so pierced by the sun that she hadn't seen for a few days that she couldn't open her eyes.
And when she was finally able to adjust to the brightness of the sun, the scene in front of her made her unable to move.
A whole line of archers, already pulling the strings, waited for her to appear.
Ye Aoxue's mind was stunned, and she said in her heart, this is over.
It turned out that Chu Litian arranged an ambush at the exit, and as soon as Chu Yatian came out of it, he shot him to death with random arrows and convicted him of defection.
Seeing that it was a woman, the archers were a little stunned, but they immediately reacted and shouted, "Tie this woman up for me!" β
Where did Ye Aoxue allow them to do this, she ran sideways towards the side door, although she had no immortal power, but she ran extremely fast, the guards chased after her, and the archers saw that she dared to run away, and the arrows shot at her one after another.
Ye Aoxue dodged the chaotic arrows flying in the sky in three or two clicks, and ran straight towards Chu Litian's palace, at this time he must be resting, as long as he ran in front of him and explained this clearly, he would not be caught in the dungeon again.
She admits that it is very undignified to do this, but for her without fairy power, it is already the best way she can think of.
Walking past the stunned palace maid, Ye Aoxue kicked open the door and looked for Chu Litian's figure.
And on a bed, she found Chu Litian, and the woman who looked like herβthe same as her before. They lay hugging each other, apparently out of passion.
Ye Aoxue's heart tingledβthis time it was really tingling, because just as she was watching them in a daze, an arrow passed through her chest, and the huge force made her lean forward and fall hard in front of Chu Litian's bed.
Chu Litian was awakened and saw a strange woman with an arrow in her chest, blood gradually oozing from the corner of her mouth, and the water in her eyes was so sparkling.
The woman also woke up, and saw Ye Aoxue lying on the ground, standing up with difficulty, and her face was a little unhappy: "What's going on?" Which palace are you a palace maid? Why trespass on the emperor's palace? β
Ye Aoxue stood up with difficulty: "You give me back my face." β
The woman smiled coldly: "What are you talking about?" I don't understand. β
At this time, the guards and archers also arrived, and one of the guards said, "Your Majesty, this is a prisoner who has escaped from the dungeon, please allow us to take her away." β
"Chu Litian, didn't you say you could recognize me? Even if you change your personality and face, won't you still be able to recognize it? Looking at Chu Litian's slightly dazed face, Ye Aoxue was extremely angry, although she hated herself, she didn't want to be locked up in a dark dungeon, she had to take something to make Chu Litian believe in herself.
"Litian, don't listen to this woman's nonsense, now everyone knows that the rumors about me in the palace are spreading, of course, there are many people who want to pretend to be me to get glory and wealth, I think this woman is one of them, don't pay attention to her when you leave the sky!"
Chu Litian stared at Ye Aoxue's face for a long time, this face did not bear any resemblance to Ye Zitong, but those eyes with a hint of resentment were exactly the same as Ye Zitong, he asked her: "You said that you are Ye Zitong, what is the way to prove it?" β
"Didn't you say that the frequency of our two heartbeats is the same? You know when we hug. β
"Presumptuous! The emperor can hug you if you want! The woman angrily stopped it.
Ye Aoxue ignored her, walked straight to Chu Litian, hugged him, and rested her head on his chest. There was a faint fragrance on her body, and Chu Litian also subconsciously hugged her, quietly listening to her heartbeat.
One second, two seconds, three seconds later, Chu Litian's eyes narrowed slightly, and then gently let go of her.
"You're not Ye Zitong, what is your purpose in pretending to be her?"
Ye Aoxue froze stiffly in place, looking at him in disbelief: "What did you say?" β
"I don't need to say much." As he spoke, Chu Litian took the hand of the woman beside him and said indifferently, "She is my concubine." β
The woman raised an eyebrow at her proudly, and then instructed the guards, "Don't send this woman to the dungeon quickly!" β
"Wait." Chu Litian stopped, "Just let her go and expel her from the palace." β
The woman was a little anxious: "How can the emperor do this?" This woman is pretending to be a concubine, maybe one day she will dress up in disguise and pretend to be a concubine again, so what should I do? The emperor must cut the grass and eradicate the roots. β
"I said I let her go, and I let her go." Not wanting to say more, Chu Litian turned around and entered the inner room.
The woman stared at Ye Aoxue's face unhappily, and said proudly: "Today is the emperor's mercy and let you live, don't sneak into the palace again after you go back, otherwise if the palace sees you, it will definitely be killed." β
Ye Aoxue also responded to her with a cold attitude: "Don't worry, we will naturally meet again." β
Leaving the palace, Ye Aoxue didn't know where to go, she wanted to find Xiao Dai first, she lost her fairy power, and she didn't know what happened to Xiao Dai.
Walking on the crowded street, Ye Aoxue thought back to what had happened in the past few days, and slowly sorted out her thoughts. She is good at thinking, so most of the time she doesn't have to be told the reason, she figured it out herself.
At the beginning, Bai Ze saved her in a planned way, established a relationship of trust with her, and then asked her to take revenge on Chu Litian, and she failed several missions, and she also had a good impression of Chu Litian.
Then she realized that she was indeed Ye Zitong, and she also had more complicated feelings for Chu Litian, and immediately after, a woman came out to take her place and abolished her immortal power.
Bai Ze should know this, he hates Chu Litian for letting his beloved fall into the cycle of life and death, so he has to find ways to take revenge on him in his previous life or in this life, and he who has deep feelings for him has no use value.
When the word "utilization" flashed through Ye Aoxue's mind, she was frightened by herself, and then stiffened.
Bai Ze ...... All the time just using her? Then the half a year she spent in the mountains was all fake? She is the only one who is really giving, and everyone is just using her?
No, ingots won't be like this, he is so sincere, so simple. Thinking of the cause of his death, and thinking of Bai Ze's words, it seems that he deliberately threatened her with the death of Yuan Bao and asked her to do good things for him.
But this qiΔ is just her conjecture, and she can't make a conclusion until a qiΔ is verified.
Ye Aoxue came to the suburbs, because she had a heart-to-heart connection with Xiao Dai, so she called Xiao Dai in her heart, but she never received any response.
She asked Xiao Dai to find Bai Ze, could it be that Bai Ze killed Xiao Dai?
Why did he do that?
There was a dull pain in her chest, Ye Aoxue sat down, cleaned her wounds with river water, and then applied gold sore medicine.
"I've found you." A panting voice suddenly came, Ye Aoxue turned her head vigilantly, and saw a sweaty man, it was Zhang He.
"Zhang He?"
"Don't talk nonsense, when I was looking for you, I saw a bunch of people looking for you, it seems very bad, you should hurry up and leave here with me." Saying that, Zhang He stepped forward and grabbed Ye Aoxue's hand, and was about to leave with her.
Ye Aoxue also complained about Chu Litian's inability to distinguish her, Zhang He was his friend, so naturally he couldn't please him, she shook off his hand vigorously, and said coldly: "You make it clear before you leave, you don't have to move your hands and feet." β
"What do you say clearly? The woman who stayed in the palace has already sent someone to hunt you down, Chu Litian sent me to protect you, do you know? β
Chu Litian sent someone to protect her? What kind of joke is this? Just now she had a cold face and asked someone to kick her out of the palace, but now she came to protect her again?
"No need, whether I live or die has nothing to do with him."
"Why are you so stubborn? No wonder Chu Litian can't do anything about you, I tell you the truth, my martial arts are not good, Chu Litian asked me to protect you, but I am really blind, and now there is a group of people with strong martial arts who want to kill you, so if you know each other, hurry up and follow me. β
But as soon as Zhang He's words fell, Ye Aoxue had already seen a group of black-clothed people rushing towards this side, and they arrived here in the blink of an eye.
Zhang He rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, pulled Ye Aoxue behind him, and faced the ten killers alone.
"Hand over Ye Aoxue and spare you from death." The man in black in the lead said.
"Dream on." Zhang He coldly threw a few dice-shaped things at them, and the thing fell to the ground and immediately began to smoke in large quantities, Zhang He grabbed Ye Aoxue's hand and quickly fled with her.
Zhang He became a deserter, which shows that his martial arts are indeed not very good, but his light skills are surprisingly good, and he ran with her for more than a quarter of an hour, and then disappeared into the lively market.
Hiding in an alley, Zhang He breathed a sigh of relief and said to Ye Aoxue: "They didn't complete the task, they will definitely attack you again, and we will go home to pack up our things later, leave here immediately, and go to Lingshan to find the ancestor to take you in." β
"Why should I be taken in?" Ye Aoxue looked at him dissatisfied, "Also, why did Chu Litian send someone to protect me?" β
