228 Mutual support
Li Congyao threw the horsewhip down heavily, and the solemnity and coldness in the narrow phoenix eyes were something Jun Qinglan had never seen. Li Congyao's arms passed under her side, her back pressed against his heart, tightly shut. Even though the winter clothes were very thick, she still seemed to feel the powerful heartbeat of the man behind her, fast and excited.
He...... Are you nervous too?
Now in this inaccessible wilderness, separated from everyone, the enemy is bright and dark, and the future is bleak. At the moment, everything looks bad for the two of them.
Jun Qinglan clenched her fingers, just hoping to survive until dawn! As long as they can survive until dawn, when the gate of Daliang City is opened, in the crowded town, she and Li Congyao can have a moment of respite. At this time, Ding Dian did not dare to relax.
"Leave the lower estuary."
Jun Qinglan suddenly looked back, and looked at the dock town that was getting farther and farther away, and the secret guards of Duanwang's Mansion were still missing.
"Don't be afraid." Li Congyao suddenly lowered his body, his lips seemed to rub her ear, and he said quickly, "There is me." ”
Jun Qinglan in the darkness gradually let go of her fingers, and her heart inexplicably settled down at that moment. Even she didn't know why Li Congyao's words contained such great power, like gods and demons. It wasn't until many, many years later that she learned that power was called trust.
"In front of you is the embankment of the Lingshui River, and you can reach the girder by walking along the river." Jun Qinglan stretched out her finger and nodded at the dark behemoth that was faintly exposed.
Li Congyao didn't speak, just ran in the direction she said. On the silent road, only the sound of horses' hooves stepping on the road was loud, and the hearts of the people who shook were also stirred.
As we got closer to the embankment, it suddenly became foggy. Without warning, the fog seemed to suddenly grow from the ground, completely covering the two of them.
The thick white fog like a substance blocked people's sight, but Li Congyao still didn't have the slightest intention of stopping, and still struggled to beat the horse forward. However, the horse they were riding at the moment was not a war horse brought from Yanjing, as if they had not undergone special training, and suddenly slowed down in the dense fog and did not dare to move forward.
"This fog ......." Jun Qinglan's voice paused, and her eyes quickly looked around. I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel that walking in this endless thick white vapor makes people gradually dizzy.
"Hold your breath!"
Li Congyao's voice suddenly sounded.
However, his voice could not withstand the rapid changes of the world. A sentence of breathlessness came out of his mouth before he landed, but the horse under the crotch fell to the ground first. Jun Qinglan was caught off guard, and her entire body slipped off the horse's neck and fell heavily to the ground. Li Congyao would never allow that to happen, he stretched out his arms and held Jun Qinglan in his arms, and the two of them were thrown out by the huge inertia after the horse suddenly fell to the ground.
The man's muffled snort sounded in his ears, and Li Congyao was pressed under him by Jun Qinglan as a human flesh cushion. He protected her so well that he didn't get the slightest damage from the sudden and powerful impact.
Jun Qinglan quickly turned over and stood up, looking around first. It was empty, and I couldn't see my fingers, and I didn't even know where I was going.
Jun Qinglan waited for a long time, but she never saw Li Congyao get up, and ominous things gradually grew in her heart. Looking down, Li Congyao's eyes were tightly closed, and he had already fainted.
"Childe!"
Jun Qinglan's surprise was not trivial, and she immediately poked out her finger to check Li Cong
Yao's joints were relieved for a long time, and there was no misalignment or breaking of bones. However, before her breath could be completely relaxed, her pupils suddenly constricted.
She saw red.
A thick, vivid red seeped out from under Li Congyao's body, gradually mixing with the moist earth. The smell of blood spread, causing chills all around.
Is that...... Blood?!
Li Congyao is injured!
This realization made Jun Qinglan's heart tremble fiercely, and he immediately helped Li Congyao up, and sure enough, he saw a wet red in the back of his heart.
"You ......." Jun Qinglan gritted her teeth, and only after a long time did she open her mouth again: "Liar! ”
Along the way, Li Congyao only had one chance to be injured, and that was when he was in the camp, and he blocked a sword from the killer from the bed. At that time, he said that he was not injured, and that he would not leave if the killer's sword was stained with blood. She only felt that this was very reasonable, and she was convinced.
Where did you think of ...... He actually deceived her!
Not only was he wounded, but he also ran all the way to this place with her. After that, it endured such a heavy impact. No wonder he was unconscious at the moment, it turned out that he had suffered such a heavy blow!
Jun Qinglan's heart was tightly entangled in one place, only to feel that the five flavors were mixed but she couldn't say half a word. Li Congyao saved her life, she wanted...... How to repay?
Gotta get out of here as soon as possible!
Jun Qinglan turned his head sideways to look for the horse that had just fallen to the ground, but in the fog, where could he still see the horse? She wrapped one of Li Congyao's arms around her neck and tried many methods, but she was never able to lift him up.
Only at this moment did Jun Qinglan know that the body of this man who looked unusually thin was as heavy as she could have imagined. If you want to take Li Congyao into Daliang City by yourself, it is simply impossible.
From the moment she entered Jinyiwei, Jun Qinglan deeply realized one thing. Do what you can and don't be competitive. So, she decisively gave up her plan to take Li Congyao into the city, and instead groped in Li Congyao's front placket and sleeves. She knew that with such a noble identity as Li Congyao, she must have some emergency medicines by her side.
The facts did not disappoint her after all, Li Congyao did have a small bottle in his sleeve pocket. Jun Qinglan confirmed that it was gold sore medicine, so she couldn't care about the defense of men and women anymore, and untied Li Congyao's clothes layer by layer, and turned his body over, revealing the wound in the back of his heart. The wound looked hideous and scary, but it was not critical, and Jun Qinglan was a little relieved. tore off a piece of clothing, poured the gold sore medicine on it, carefully applied it to Li Congyao, and then bandaged it simply.
The next thing is to wait. After sunrise, the fog will clear. Even if it doesn't disperse, it's always broader than the current vision, and the secret guards of Duanwang's Mansion will definitely persevere in looking for it when they find that the master is not seen. She waits here, always able to make peace with them.
During this time, she will be replaced to guard Li Congyao.
She took out the lancet she used for the autopsy and frowned after looking at it for a while. The lancet, though sharp, is too small. If an accident occurs while waiting, this knife is like a chicken rib, except to scare people, but it has no real use. She groped up and down Li Congyao Zhou's body again, found the dagger he was hiding close to, and grabbed it in her hand without hesitation, her clear eyes widened, carefully paying attention to the situation around her.
Suddenly there was a gust of wind in all directions, and it was howling cold
The wind whipped up the sand and rocks on the ground, and the bare skin of the person who hit him was painful. Jun Qinglan used her wide sleeves as a handkerchief to cover Li Congyao's cheeks, and she closed her eyes slightly.
Such a strong wind......
Her heart trembled, couldn't such a strong wind disperse the fog?
Only then did a thought arise, and suddenly I felt that my feet were empty, and the whole person was covered by a huge net and held up to the sky. Jun Qinglan didn't panic, and her first thought was to hurry up and see Li Congyao. Li Congyao was also carrying in a net pocket, and because of the small place, his body was stretched upright. However, the unconscious man did not have a center of gravity, and his body slid towards a layer of softness.
Jun Qinglan grabbed him around his waist and made him fall to himself, resting his head on his shoulder. He tore off the corner of his clothes again, folded it into a thick square, and put it on the rope of the net pocket where Li Congyao's wound was, and then helped him to lie down slowly in the net pocket.
"Hehe, it's a good master-servant relationship, it's really moving."
The man's gloomy voice sounded in the thick fog, but Jun Qinglan didn't even look back, only paying attention to the change in Li Congyao's expression wholeheartedly. Seeing that he always looked as usual, and his body temperature did not rise, he relaxed slightly and looked sideways out of the net pocket.
In the thick fog, there seemed to be many dark shadows approaching, and one person was tall and straight, walking in the front. Jun Qinglan squinted, trying to see the person's appearance clearly, God seemed to hear her heart, and suddenly became merciful, and the white mist wrapped in the surroundings disappeared in an instant.
There was an open field in all directions, and about ten zhang away was the Lingshui River embankment, and around them were more than a dozen black-clothed masked people. Those people were dressed in the same clothes as the killer who had just been assassinated in the camp, as if they were the same people.
The man standing in front of the net pocket was clearly dressed in the same way, but strangely more eye-catching than everyone else. I don't know if it's posture or figure, that person seems to be more outstanding than others. Jun Qinglan squinted her eyes, looking at her like this...... It's familiar.
Even his voice is familiar, acquaintance?
"It is said in Yanjing City that Duan Wang Ye has a favorite male pet, and he is unwilling to extricate himself from immersing himself in the gentle countryside every day, and now it looks like this is really the case. Since you are so affectionate, I can't bear to separate you, so I'm here today, so let you be a pair of outlaw mandarin ducks. ”
The voice of the man at the head is clearly very pleasant. However, the haze in his timbre has always been impossible to ignore, listening to the coldness that pierces the bone marrow.
"Who are you?"
"For a dead man, it doesn't matter."
"If you already know who we are, how can you assume that we are such easy people to kill?"
Jun Qinglan's heart at this moment has already fallen into an ice cave, his companions are separated, and the strong enemy is in front of him. Although she and Li Congyao both changed their appearances, they were revealed by that person's identity, as if they were prepared. She certainly didn't have an idea of what to do, but ...... At this time, you can't admit defeat in momentum.
Delaying time is the best policy!
Maybe someone will find them later.
"Do you want to stall?" Unfortunately, the Man in Black is clearly not an easily fooled person. sneered: "It's a pity that you don't have that opportunity. ”
He condensed his breath, and his eyes suddenly turned crimson, with an undisguised murderous aura.
"Come on." He waved it vigorously: "Kill!" Not a single one to stay! ”
