After Xiao Jinxuan's location of fleeing to the mountains was determined, Ji Lingfeng only delayed for an hour after gathering his troops, and then chased after the arrest with all his might.

As soon as the sun set in the west, it was twilight again, although there were no more officers and soldiers patrolling the streets in Crescent City.

But the people who were panicked still chose to stay closed, and the jugglers on the street could not be seen.

And Zhou Xianyu, who had just entered Crescent City with Guo Yi, what he saw was this bleak scene.

Zhou Xianyu fought in the east and west, and Crescent City was the closest state city to the border with the Great Liang Kingdom, and it was bounded by a river, so this was also a border fortress, and he naturally came.

But in Zhou Xianyu's impression, Crescent City is quite rich and prosperous, and it shouldn't be an empty scene at all.

"Guo Yi, I also came to Crescent City five years ago, and this place has really changed a lot in the past few years. originally thought that when I came here, I could find out Xuan'er's whereabouts. Now there are no pedestrians on the street, so it seems that we can only go to the inn to stay and take the opportunity to ask. ”

Although Zhou Xianyu is the prince of the dynasty, he can ask the local government to do things for him.

But Xiao Jinxuan's current identity is a sinner who killed the monarch, so Zhou Xianyu can only find people by himself in private, but he can't alarm the government, so as not to cause extraneous branches.

Although Guo Yi on the side also wanted to get Xiao Jinxuan's news quickly, he looked at Zhou Xianyu with a worried face, and immediately said:

"The prince is not in a hurry, now that we have arrived in Crescent City, we will definitely get news from the county lord sooner or later. According to Guo Yi, you have a serious back injury, so you still want to find a family doctor to bandage the wound well. After all, if you fall, there will really be no one to protect the county lord, and the situation will only be more disadvantaged. ”

Zhou Xianyu is known as the king of war, and a Nine Dragons Cold Moon Spear shocks the world, and no one dares to match it.

But as the so-called tigers can't stand the wolves, just two days ago, because Ji Lingfeng secretly bought off the bandits and robbers, and slaughtered a village of fifty or sixty people at the agreed time.

And Ji Lingfeng had already calculated the time, and Zhou Xianyu and Guo Yi happened to pass by that small village.

Seeing the bandits rampant, burning and looting the whole village, whether men, women or children, they killed anyone they saw.

Although Zhou Xianyu couldn't wait to rush to Crescent City day and night, he quickly found Xiao Jinxuan, so as to protect the other party safely.

But the people in the entire village are also the people of the Great Zhou, and they are all living lives.

Zhou Xianyu couldn't turn a blind eye, and passed by in cold blood, letting these people die tragically in front of him.

So in the end, Zhou Xianyu still single-handedly entered the village, and fought against more than 100 bandits with the men in the village who still had the strength to fight.

Although the kung fu of these bandits was not high, but with one enemy and a hundred, although Zhou Xianyu killed fifty-six people with his own strength, the rest of the bandits were frightened and fled.

But after the war, when the people in the village thanked Zhou Xianyu, the great benefactor, they found that the other party had suffered a serious knife wound in the back, and the blood couldn't stop gushing out.

Although the people in the village tried their best to stay, they asked Zhou Xianyu to stay and recuperate with peace of mind.

But Zhou Xianyu, who was concerned about Xiao Jinxuan, still refused the kindness of the people, and after simply bandaging the wound, he continued to ride to Crescent City.

And the bumps along the way, coupled with the wound not being properly treated, so the bleeding never stopped at all.

It is also a shame that Zhou Xianyu is wearing a cloud brocade black robe, so the robe is stained with blood, and others can't see it.

But only Guo Yi on the side knew that as long as he pressed his palm to the placket of the other party's back, his entire hand would be stained with blood.

Therefore, Zhou Xianyu's own injuries are very dangerous now, and Guo Yi is really worried that if Xiao Jinxuan is not found, the other party will bleed to death first

As for Zhou Xianyu, in fact, he will indeed rely on a mouthful of internal strength to support him, and Guo Yi's words are not unreasonable.

Zhou Xianyu is not afraid of death, but if he falls, who will protect Xiao Jinxuan.

Therefore, in the end, Zhou Xianyu could be regarded as a compromise, nodded and found a medical hall with Guo Yi first, ready to deal with the knife wound on his back first.

When he arrived at the old man in the medical hall, after seeing Zhou Xianyu's wound clearly, he couldn't help but be shocked, and he was even more surprised how the other party could endure the pain and sit here without changing his face.

Seeing that the wound was serious, Lao Langzhong hurriedly sutured it with medicine and bandaged it with clean gauze.

Seeing that the blood from the wound had stopped, but it was still slowly seeping out through the gauze, Lao Langzhong couldn't help but suggest:

"If you two listen to the old man, stay in my hospital. After all, this boy is seriously injured, and it is best to change the dressing three times a day, and it is not advisable to move too much to recuperate. If the wound opens again, it will be difficult to close it. ”

Although Lao Langzhong's words were kind, but this would look at Zhou Xianyu, he had already stood up, and after paying the silver, he said:

"Thank you for your advice, but I still have important things to do, and I really can't stay in the hospital to recuperate. Also, I'd like to ask you personally, I don't know if you've seen it. ”

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Xianyu described Xiao Jinxuan's voice and appearance as much as possible.

Originally, he didn't hope that this old man would know anything, but he just asked casually and tried his luck.

But what Zhou Xianyu didn't expect was that after hearing his words, Lao Langzhong nodded immediately, and said with a look of sudden realization:

"I said why this prince was so seriously injured, it turns out that you are those officials from Beijing. But didn't the female fugitive you want to arrest have already fled out of the city and into the mountains? Don't you know this news, three or four hundred soldiers from the official government have already entered the mountain in the morning, and the whole Crescent City knows about it. ”

Because Zhou Xianyu's face is unusually handsome, coupled with his innate royal extravagance, and it is not a local accent at first glance.

Therefore, Lao Langzhong regarded him as being in a group with Ji Lingfeng, and even thought that the knife wound on the other party's back was caused by the arrest of Xiao Jinxuan.

But I didn't want to inadvertently tell what Zhou Xianyu wanted to know the most, so I told it as it was.

And after listening to Lao Langzhong's words, Zhou Xianyu's heart sank, and he knew clearly that Xiao Jinxuan must have had an accident.

As for Guo Yi on the side, after perfunctory to the old man and not asking the other party to suspect their identity, he went out of the hospital with Zhou Xianyu.

"It seems that the prince is still negligent, the Jingshi must have someone from Empress Chen who followed us to Crescent Moon City, and found the whereabouts of the county lord before us. But now that you are seriously injured, how can you enter this mountain, it is really a dead end. ”

Faced with Guo Yi's worries, Zhou Xianyu didn't care and immediately said:

"It's just that I can't die after being stabbed in the back, Jinxuan is isolated now, I just shed the last drop of blood, and I have to rush to the other party's side. If I want to die, I will also guard Xuan'er to die together, if I can't even protect my own woman, what face do I have to live in the world. ”

After saying this, ignoring Guo Yi's obstruction and worry, Zhou Xianyu immediately turned over and got on the horse, and let the wound that had just been stitched up behind his back tear open inch by inch.

But even though this feeling was painful, Zhou Xianyu still did not change his face, and rode out of the city gate with a determined expression.

Ji Lingfeng led hundreds of people to search the mountains to arrest Xiao Jinxuan, so the traces of his march were extremely clear.

Therefore, without much effort, Zhou Xianyu and Guo Yi also entered the mountains half an hour later, and searched for the traces left by Ji Lingfeng and others all the way, and marched quickly.

Zhou Xianyu and Ji Lingfeng were the same as when they left Beijing, and in order to find Xiao Jinxuan, the two groups of people went into the mountains with about the same amount of time.

As for Xiao Jinxuan, who will be searched by no less than three or four hundred people, because she is alone, she still has an advantage in shuttling through the mountains.

Not only is the speed of running away not slow, but it is also easy to hide, and the key is that she has been familiar with how to protect herself in the mountains since she was a child.

So when night fell, Xiao Jinxuan was lucky that she was still not caught.

But the pursuers behind him were difficult to deal with and evaded, but Xiao Jinxuan, who had not eaten all day, was already hungry and cold, and her situation was worrying.

In the package she carried with her, Xiao Jinxuan brought a lot of dry food because she was always ready to escape.

But this night was cold, but she didn't dare to make a fire, for fear of exposing her whereabouts.

Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan's teeth gnawed on the dry food, and she shivered with cold, and she was already weak, she felt like she was in an ice cellar, and her whole person was frozen.

When the cold air was at its strongest in the middle of the night, Xiao Jinxuan, who was huddled together, couldn't help but wonder several times whether she would be frozen to death in the mountains before she was caught by the government.

This kind of endless cold, and the torture of physical pain and weakness, even Xiao Jinxuan almost collapsed several times.

I can't wait to hit my head against a tree to relieve this unbearable pain.

And she also thought about giving up like this, and quickly took out the fire fold, lighting a fire, even if her whereabouts were discovered, it was better than freezing to death.

But the fire fold was held in her hand for a long time, Xiao Jinxuan was frozen to death, and she wanted to warm her slowly stiff body.

But when she kept thinking of Wen Xin's snowy night, she couldn't stop thinking of that snowy night.

Blocked in the hole under the palace wall, before dying, he looked at her with a smile and relief, and the back of Zhuxin who was obviously afraid, but still wore her cloak to lure the enemy away.

Xiao Jinxuan held her head in pain, Shen Wenqing's death, the face of the child who was left to recuperate Zhou Yi, and Zhou Xianrui, who died at the hands of Xiangping, their voices and appearances always lingered in her mind.

and reminded Xiao Jinxuan over and over again that she must live, for the sake of her enmity with these people, she can't die or be caught, she must make a comeback and take revenge from Da Zhou.

In order to resist the idea of starting a fire, Xiao Jinxuan is also a ruthless person, so she immediately threw the only fire fold in her hand into the dark night.

It is difficult for her to find such a fire fold, and this fire will naturally never be born again.

With a trembling right hand, Xiao Jinxuan took the carefree hairpin from between her hair buns, and curled up under a big tree, listening to the roar of the beasts in the mountains, and her body endured the cold and biting torture.

And the only thing she can do now is to keep encouraging herself in her heart, she must persevere, as long as she stays up until dawn.

The carefree hairpin fell to the ground unconsciously, but Xiao Jinxuan didn't pick it up immediately.

Because under the erosion of the cold, she finally fainted unbearably, fell to the ground and completely lost consciousness.
