Chapter 73: Escape Strategy

Ying Xi only felt the whirring wind in her ears, countless arrows passed by her, although she was the princess of Daqin, she had never lived on the battlefield so really, life and death were only in an instant, at that moment only escape was the most profound memory, but this memory had one more person. In order to protect Ying Xi from being harmed by sharp arrows, Zi Ye used her body to wrap Ying Xi in her not too broad chest, and at this moment, Ying Xi can only cling to the shade of the big tree of Zi Ye like a frightened bird. Sou! Sou! Sou! Behind him still did not give up the arrows, there are still countless sharp arrows projected towards these two people, I have to say that Ziye's skills are indeed very flexible, maybe this is related to the fact that she has been a slave on the Great Wall since she was a child, not only her body is strong, her ability to listen to the wind and hear, but also the instinct to survive makes her more comfortable on the battlefield than ordinary people.

Zi Ye pulled the reins while dodging the sharp arrows that came from behind her, each arrow was about to pierce her when she quickly dodged, only a few arrows just grazed her arm, the arrows wiped the flesh exposed in the torn sleeves, and the blood was splashed down on Ying Xi's hand along the wind, Ying Xi looked at the red blood on his hand and was a little stunned for a while, "Hold on to me!" There was a warm breathing sound in his ears, and Ying Xi reacted and obediently hugged Ziye's body with both hands. As if sensing the trembling of Ying Xi's hand, Zi Ye lowered his head and approached Ying Xi's ear and said gently: "Don't worry, I will definitely take you out!" ”

Yingxi has heard the voices of many people, but there has never been a voice as soft and gentle as this, which made her so relieved, as if following this voice can really escape from fear, and the sound of wind, arrows, war drums, fighting, and horses' hooves also disappeared in this instant.

"Purple Night" she whispered his name, and it was the first time she had called his name.

Although Zi Ye and Ying Xi evaded those archers, the chasing military horses still followed unrelentingly, so Zi Ye specially picked those difficult mountain roads to walk, and rode all the way for three days and three nights, and finally couldn't see the shadow of the chasing soldiers behind him, so he slowed down.

Purple Night had been exhausted all the way without food, and even drank only a little water, and he left the only food he had prepared for the princess, and the horse led them through a winding path to a brook.

"Purple Night, you see there's water!" Ying Xi looked at the clear stream and happily grabbed Zi Ye's arm and said, but when she turned her head, she found that Zi Ye's eyes were closed, her lips were chapped and white, and her body was shaky.

The evening breeze in March still carries a lot of chill, and the light of the fire in the depths of the forest reflects the face of a haggard woman, the cloud temples are tilted, the green silk is a little scattered, and a pair of stubborn and cold eyes under the narrow eyelashes are staring at the firelight on the other side, and a handsome face with closed eyes on the other side.

Ying Xi has been tightly guarding Ziye's side and didn't dare to leave for a long time, lest he leave a little bit will attract hungry wolves to forage for food, but he just fed him a few sips of water during the day, fortunately, there are just a few fruit trees by the river that can satisfy hunger and not starve, but this person has been asleep for so long but still hasn't woken up.

The wound on Zi Ye's arm had already been bandaged by the torn cloth, although Ying Xi was a princess, she also loved to read a hundred books, and she knew a lot about this medical technique, so she tore her robe in time to help Zi Ye bandage it carefully, but when she lifted Zi Ye's sleeve robe, she saw the large and small bruises and sword scars on her thin arms, but Ying Xi couldn't help but gasp several times, and she felt a little distressed in her heart.

Maybe it's because of the water, Zi Ye's originally pale face finally recovered a little blood, but the fist in his hand clenched tightly didn't dare to relax at all, Ying Xi knew that this meant that this person must be a very defensive person, even if he fell into a deep coma like this, he didn't dare to relax a little, this must be related to the environment in which he lived, but he didn't know what he was guarding against?

Seeing his frowning eyebrows, Ying Xi couldn't help but gently put on Ziye's forehead, but he was shocked under the touch of his fingers, he didn't expect his skin to be so delicate and tender and not as rough as ordinary men, and then smiled, what was he thinking?

Seven days ago, in the territory of Wei, King Wei An ordered Xue Gang, the son of the prime minister, to marry Xue Gang, the son of the prime minister, in the name of a royal scholar and Princess Yingxi of Qin to marry Qin and Wei, and to reward Qionglin Courtyard as his mansion, and celebrate in the city for three days.

Comb red makeup in the mirror, but the bright red wedding dress seems to be as heavy as a thousand catties, and it seems to be pulling and falling into the endless abyss, where hell is endless torment. The woman sitting in the bronze mirror looked at herself in the mirror carefully, this moment was her most beautiful, she sighed slightly, she was originally low, and now she can marry the son of the prime minister of Wei with such a noble identity as a princess, although she knows how terrible that person is, but for the princess, Duo'er is indeed willing to sacrifice her happiness, and for a person with such an identity, her happiness is originally so slim, and once she enters the palace, it is as deep as the sea. On the other hand, Ying Xi, who was sitting in front of the collapse and wearing a palace maid's clothes, was indeed silent, but at this point, did he have to sacrifice Duo'er for his own thoughtfulness? If she really marries like this, she must be unwilling, and it is a big deal to end up together, but this is the next policy.

Yingxi, who was still in deep thought, didn't speak, and Duo'er spoke first, "Princess, you quickly take advantage of the arrival of those people who welcome relatives to sneak in and escape, as long as you can return to Daqin, you will be safe!" ”

"But, Duo'er, I" Win the tide and stopped.

"Princess, let's go, please forgive Duo'er for not being able to accompany the princess and serve the princess in the future!" Duo'er said quietly sobbing with her face covered.

Duo'er, if Xue Gang dares to do anything to you, I will definitely make him repay it a thousand times over! Ying Xi bit his lip and secretly looked at Duo'er for the last time, and then exited the door.

Today, there is a lively scene in the palace of the Wei State, so those palace maids and eunuchs are busy in their own duties, no one notices that a little palace maid has just come out of the princess's room, she quietly followed behind a group of palace maids, pretending to be with those palace maids, and was about to walk out of the palace gate, suddenly a team of fierce soldiers walked towards them quickly, it seemed that something had happened, those soldiers saw people and looked carefully and searched everywhere, Ying Xi secretly shouted that it was not good, what was going on, Could it be that they found out so quickly that Doll was not a princess? But if that's the case, those soldiers should also come out of the palace instead of coming in from outside the palace, so what should I do now, I will definitely not be able to mix in the palace now, and if I don't go back and hide, I will be discovered by these soldiers.

Seeing that those soldiers were getting closer and closer to Ying Xi, suddenly a hand reached over and grabbed Ying Xi's hand and ran, and when Ying Xi came back to his senses, he didn't know which room he was taken to when he was gone. I saw a dirty face, messy hair, and only the stubbornness in those eyes was a little familiar.

Ying Xi was just about to speak, but the man covered his mouth with his hand, only to hear a group of soldiers passing by outside the door, "There doesn't seem to be anything to be found here!" "Okay, take another team of people to search over there, we must find it, we can't let the prisoner mess up the wedding of the scholar and the princess because of a momentary dereliction of duty, if something goes wrong, we will have to lose our heads, you know!" "Yes, my lord!" "Well, that's good, hurry up and search over there, we must catch the prisoner!" "Whoa!"

It wasn't until the soldiers had left that Zi Yan let go, "You, who are you?" Why are they arresting you? Ying Xi didn't scream out of horror like ordinary palace maids.

"Don't worry, you just need to know that I'm not a bad person." This person's voice sounded a little hoarse but still very soft, a little unique and not stiff, which made Ying Xi relax his guard.

"Well, then I can go." Ying Xi didn't say anything superfluous, and she didn't need to know the identity of the person in front of her, no matter what his identity was? Even the fugitives in those mouths had nothing to do with her, and she had to hurry up and get out of here, if the person in front of her was involved in more trouble, it would be even more difficult to get out of here.

"Wait," things didn't go as smoothly as Ying Xi thought, but the trouble he didn't want to cause would always come to him.

"I need you to do one more thing, so I'll let you go." The man still spoke unhurriedly, in a calm tone, but it seemed that people had to listen.

Ying Xi was a little surprised, the fugitive in front of her has been so calm since he abducted himself, this courage is rare, it seems that the person in front of her is not so simple, of course she doesn't know at this moment, in Zi Ye's eyes, she also thinks so, Zi Ye always feels that the palace maid in front of her is not as simple as an ordinary palace maid.

"What if I don't want to do it?" Ying Xi looked at the person in front of her with a playful smile, those charming eyes staring at Zi Ye's eyes, she wanted to know his annoyed and angry expression.

"If you don't want to do it, I'll kill you." Zi Ye's face did not show any expression, and he still spit out such a cruel sentence in a calm tone.

"Okay, then you can kill me." Ying Xi increased the smile on her face, although the person in front of her didn't have too much expression on his face when he said that sentence just now, but she could still see from his eyes that he didn't have half a point of killing intent when he said that.

"You, let's go." Sure enough, as Ying Xi expected, he didn't have any ill will towards himself.

"Are you really going to let me go?" Ying Xi pretended to be surprised, and the little girl looked at her with wide eyes and asked.

"Hmm." Purple Night nodded and stopped saying superfluous words.

Oh, what a weirdo! Ying Xi didn't want to leave so quickly, maybe to satisfy her curiosity, maybe even she didn't find the slightest interest in the person in front of her.

"Then you tell me what you want me to do, maybe it's not too difficult, I can help you." Lightly opened her red lips, her forehead rose slightly, and she looked up at Ziye, who was much taller than her, perhaps even Yingxi herself did not realize that she was no longer like a thoughtful princess at this moment, but a naughty little girl who matched her age.

"I want you to take me to find someone, that is, Princess Yingxi."
