Chapter 45: Martyrdom, Don't Let Me Down
The man in black froze on the edge of the cliff.
Mu Qianxia's behavior of jumping off the cliff was completely unexpected, she didn't have to die, why did she still have to go to the road of death?
The man in black has more or less heard about the princess's past deeds in the rivers and lakes, so it is difficult for him to combine Mu Qianxia's behavior with the word "martyrdom", but this is how things happened in front of his eyes, from Mu Qianxia's walking corpse-like state after Gu Li's death to her process of jumping off the cliff, it all shows Mu Qianxia's "deep affection" for Gu Li.
The man in black had killed people without blinking, and there were so many people who died under his hands, even though Mu Qianxia's cliff jump moved him, but after a while, he packed up his mood and walked down the mountain.
Although he didn't plan to kill Mu Qianxia originally, he just wanted to use her to lure Gu Li out, but since she was begging for death by herself, she couldn't blame him for not keeping his promise.
After the man in black walked away slowly, there was a slight sound from the bottom of the cliff.
"Gone?" Mu Qianxia glanced up and asked cautiously. There are rocks and vines as far as the eye can see, and you can't see the man in black.
"Gone." Gu Li kept staring at Mu Qianxia, smiled bitterly, and sighed helplessly: "Princess, I had to jump down, but my junior brother has promised to send you back safely, what are you doing when you jump down?" ”
Mu Qianxia glared at him: "When I saw you jumping off the cliff, I really thought you were dead, and my heart was blank." Then it occurred to me that a person as cunning as you could jump down so obediently? That's why I dared to jump down to find out, but you really didn't die, it's really a disaster left behind for a thousand years. Actually, what she didn't say was that she wasn't sure if Gu Li was dead at the time, she chose to jump down just to gamble, believing that he wouldn't die so easily.
Gu Li is a ruthless person, and he is also a person who will not succumb to fate, his ability is not only reflected in his martial arts, but also in his extreme control of people's hearts, so he is not a person who will give up his life for others.
Gu Li jumped off the cliff, not to seek death, but to survive and coexist.
Whether it was going to the appointment alone before, or the place of death later, Gu Li was not stingy with risks, nor was he afraid of taking risks, he took the danger into his own hands, manipulated it to help, everything he did before was just to make his junior brother sure that he was really dead and would not go down the mountain to search again.
He is not a chivalrous and loyal swordsman, but a resourceful and decisive player.
At this time, the two of them hid in a large tree a hundred meters away from the cliff, and the twilight and the dense foliage around them completely covered their figures. Mu Qianxia was originally not afraid of heights, but because she died in a plane crash, she had a fear of high altitudes, so she leaned close to Gu Li.
Gu Li seemed to sense that Mu Qianxia was a little wrong, nodded and looked, only to see that her face was pale, and she could vaguely feel a slight tremor in her body, Gu Li couldn't help but hold her hand and comforted: "Don't be afraid, with me here, I won't let the princess have anything to do." ”
In order to coax his junior brother, Gu Li's coat had already been thrown off the cliff, through the thin clothes, Mu Qianxia felt the heat from Gu Li's body, she felt that as long as Gu Li was by her side, no matter how big things happened, she would feel at ease, and the sense of security that Gu Li brought her was irreplaceable by anyone.
Mu Qianxia rubbed in Gu Li's arms, found a comfortable position, closed her eyes, and muttered: "Gu Li, let me rest for a while......" She was very frightened today, and now she finally felt at ease, a sense of sleepiness hit, her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and her voice became lower and lower, she finally couldn't control it, her eyes slowly closed, and finally sank into the darkness, and her body fell softly on Gu Li's body.
Gu Li looked at Mu Qianxia's quiet sleeping face, under the illumination of the moonlight, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, showing her uneasiness at this time, a cute little mouth under her tall but small nose, glowing with a faint pink.
Mu Qianxia seemed to feel Gu Li's gaze, turned over in Gu Li's arms, frowned, as if talking in a dream, Gu Li lowered his head and approached her mouth, trying to hear what she was saying: "Why did I jump down, I don't even know it...... Gu Li, I choose to believe you, you are the first person I believe in this world with all my heart, you must not let me down......" After speaking, he fell asleep again.
Gu Li raised his head, the hand holding Mu Qianxia had not yet let go, and the other hand stretched out Mu Qianxia's waist to prevent her from falling.
Gu Li looked at the moon in the sky, his thoughts were flying, the words in Mu Qianxia's sleep just now made his calm heart set off a monstrous wave, and he lowered his head for a while, and said in a voice that only he could hear: "Why are you so stupid, how can you trust a person wholeheartedly, didn't your imperial brother teach you not to trust others easily?" Then he sighed softly, "How can I feel at ease that you are left alone in this place full of deceit?" ”
