The Assassins were all agile and ruthless, and it seemed as if they were here for Qi Hao.

"Tick, tick", a drop of red blood fell on Gu Jinli's white sleeves, white like snow, red like plum.

It's just that the red, oozing a hint of blackness, is like a desperate and lonely rose, blooming to decay.

Noticing that Qi Hao's lips were a little white, Gu Jinli knew that the dart must have been quenched with poison.

Recalling the acupuncture points drawn in the medical book, she bit her lip, carefully let go of a hand, and quickly clicked twice on the acupuncture points on his shoulder.

Sure enough, the gushing blood stopped instantly.

Qi Hao held a soft sword and hurriedly retreated as he fought the Assassin who caught up.

Gu Jinli closed her eyes tightly, and could only try to suppress her beating heart so as not to panic, so as not to disturb Qi Hao.

If it was before, just ten assassins would be no problem for Qi Hao.

However, the poison on this poison dart is the cartilage with the mandala, which can not only make people lose their skills, but also spread to the internal organs with the movement of the human body.

If the toxin is not forced out within two hours, then the poisoned person will have qi and blood flowing backwards, and the muscles and veins will burst and die.

"Bang!" It was the screeching sound of two swords colliding.

The atmosphere in the air was tense and bloody.

Gu Jinli didn't dare to think about it, the blood that flowed down from Qi Hao's body, or those assassins.

She only felt that this moment was so familiar.

Just like on the night of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, she was also assassinated on the way back to the palace with him.

The two of them were pursued all the way, and they were poisoned again, and finally forced to fall off the cliff of despair......

It's just that today they were assassinated on the way to the Cliff of Despair......

Qi Hao's face was cold, his peach blossom eyes were cold, and he waved the cold sword in his hand while raising his foot and kicking at the man in black who was leaning over.

The sword flower flipped over, and the sword aura was pressing, but the movements under his feet became more and more weak.

Du Jiang was entangled in the back, and Qin Feng was also fighting with people holding Aiyue.

So, now no one can care about anyone.

"Bang!" There was another loud bang, and a man in black kicked Qi Hao's calf bone from behind, and he was unsteady on his feet, so he threw Gu Jinli out of his arms.

After Gu Jinli fell to the ground, her eyes flashed, and she saw a long arrow shooting at her through the air.

She subconsciously rolled on the ground and narrowly avoided it.

Before she could catch her breath, in the blink of an eye, two cold swords stabbed at her.

Hurriedly raising her wrist, Gu Jinli pressed the mechanism on the bracelet.

"Whoosh", several poisonous needles flew out, and the man in black fell in response.

There are also two black-clothed people who are pestering Qi Hao on the left and right, and he is struggling to fight against it, while watching Gu Jinli's movements with his spare eyes.

His knee was kicked and knelt on the sharp stone, so as the fight lasted longer and longer, his knee hurt more and more.

Changing the sword to one hand, Qi Hao bent down to dodge, avoiding the sharp sword that stabbed at him, and with a wave of his palm, he hit the stone on the ground at the person who raised the sword towards Gu Jinli.

"Boom!" The stone struck the Assassin's wrist, causing him to drop his sword immediately.

Holding his wrist, he saw a red and swollen wrist bone.

If it weren't for Qi Hao's gradual loss of internal strength now, the assassin's wrist would definitely have been pierced.

"Whew!" Just as Qi Hao was distracted, the assassin behind him stabbed him in the back with a sword.

Even though he was dressed in a black robe, the blood that trickled out could still sting Gu Jinli's eyes.

"Qi Hao!" Gu Jinli's face changed, and she subconsciously wanted to run to his side.

However, just as she was lifting her feet, a black-clothed man who was originally on Qi Hao's left side actually flew in front of Gu Jinli with an arrow and sent the sword in his hand to her chest.

She reflexively staggered back a few steps, and in the moment, a person blocked in front of her at an incredible speed.

"Whew!"

"Poof!"

Qi Hao spat out a mouthful of blood, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground.

His blood splashed Gu Jinli's face, and his legs were already unable to stand, his soft body was on her shoulder, and he lost all his fighting ability.

"Let's go!" The assassin who took the lead saw that Qin Feng and Du Jiang were rushing towards this side not far away, blew a whistle, and a group of people flipped away with a light tiptoe.

Looking at Qi Hao, who had another sword wound on his back, Gu Jinli was stunned.

Grabbing his sliding body hard, she said in a trembling voice: "Qi Hao, Qi Hao......"

Her headband, I don't know where it was scattered.

Her white clothes have long been indistinguishable from the color.

Even if her hair was scattered at this time, and her white clothes were dirty, it did not affect her posture of captivating the country and the city at all, but there was a poignant feeling of the fairy after the catastrophe.

Qi Hao moved his lips, but he couldn't say a word, so he could only lie in Gu Jinli's arms.

Gu Jinli saw Qi Hao's eyes dilated, and the uneasiness in her heart became more and more intense.

Reaching out to probe Qi Hao's pulse, she held her breath and tried to calm her beating heart.

"Lord Wang, Lord Wang!" Qin Feng and Du Jiang rushed back and forth, and after the two of them saw Qi Hao's appearance, their faces were as frightened as earth.

Qin Feng took a step forward and said nervously, "Concubine Gu, how is the prince?" ”

Qi Hao's pulse was a little floating, and Gu Jinli was checking his pulse, so he didn't have the heart to pay attention to Qin Feng at all.

Seeing that Gu Jinli was silent, Qin Feng just wanted to open his mouth to ask again, but was stopped by Du Jiang with his eyes.

Aiyue saw that Gu Jinli was covered in blood, and almost dropped the phoenix qin in her arms to the ground.

Looking at her with blank eyes, Aiyue felt more like someone was scratching her with something.

There is so much blood on the young lady's clothes, what the hell is this? Or is it the prince's?

If the prince is injured, it will be fine, after all, he is not too good to the young lady.

But if it's Miss's, then ......

Thinking like this, Aiyue involuntarily wanted to come up and ask a few words, but was stopped by Du Jiang, who had already gained insight into her thoughts.

"Don't worry, Concubine Gu is fine." Du Jiang seemed to know how to read minds, and before Aiyue spoke, he gave her a reassuring pill in advance.

Aiyue looked at Du Jiang suspiciously, and whispered, "Are you sure?" ”

Du Jiang looked at her black and white apricot eyes and nodded: "Sure." ”

After that, he looked at Qi Hao worriedly.

Qin Feng noticed the interaction between Du Jiang and Aiyue, and couldn't help frowning.

But thinking that now is not the time to gossip, he also set his eyes on Qi Hao.

"Concubine Gu, how is the prince now?" Du Jiang saw that Gu Jinli withdrew the hand that had taken Qi Hao's pulse, and immediately asked.

According to Gu Jinli's current level, she hasn't studied much poison art, but she knows that no matter what poison it is, it can't stay in her body for too long.

"The poison has not spread to the heart vein, first use internal force to see if you can force the poison of the prince out." Pursing her lips, she hesitated.

Du Jiang and Qin Feng glanced at each other, the two of them straightened Qi Hao, sat down cross-legged on one left and one right, and one stretched out a hand to put it on Qi Hao's back, and began to exercise qi.

Aiyue freed up a hand holding the phoenix qin, took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood on Gu Jinli's face while muttering, "Miss, what the master said is really right." ”

"You and the prince are indeed at odds, otherwise why do you meet assassins every time you go out?"

After Gu Jinli heard this, her eyebrows frowned unconsciously, and her tone was unpleasant: "What are you talking about?" ”

Aiyue naturally didn't know about Qi Hao's sword blocking Gu Jinli just now, so seeing that Gu Jinli's face was a little unsightly, she blinked, "Miss, what the slave said is the truth, why are you angry?" ”

"I'm ......" Gu Jinli took a deep breath, turned her face away, and decided not to discuss this issue with Aiyue for the time being.

Otherwise, with Aiyue's little head, I don't know how much to think about.

Du Jiang saw that there was a trace of white smoke on the top of Qi Hao's head, and the robe behind him was also soaked with blood and sweat, so he added another percent of his internal force.

Gu Jinli found that the beads of sweat on Qi Hao's forehead were dripping down, and she just wanted Aiyue to come forward to wipe his sweat, but after thinking about it, she still walked over with a handkerchief.

looked at his face carefully, with sharp edges and corners, handsome facial features, although it did not have Chen Zexuan's enchanting charm, but it was a different style of beauty.

Touching his white lips, Gu Jinli turned to Aiyue and said, "Go, find some water and come back." ”

"Huh?" Aiyue was stunned for a moment, turned around and glanced around, and wondered: "Miss, it doesn't look like there is a water source around here!" ”

Gu Jinli raised her eyes, her brows furrowed even deeper.

Squinting her eyes, she looked into the distance, and saw a small boat faintly shuttling through the depths of the jungle on the other side of the road.

Her eyes lit up, and she said to Aiyue: "Take care of the prince!" ”

With that, she lifted the hem of her dress and went into the jungle.

"Hey, miss!" Aiyue didn't know that Gu Jinli had found the lake hidden behind the jungle, and she was very puzzled.

Looking at Gu Jinli's back as she walked away, she shook her head and had no choice but to continue to support Qi Hao.

Gu Jinli was sure that she was not dazzled just now, as long as she walked through this jungle, she would definitely be able to find a water source.

Therefore, even if it was a bush and thorn, she didn't care about her clothes being torn and her arms being scratched, and she ran forward gritting her teeth.

It was about half a cup of tea, and she did see a lake.

With joy in her heart, she hurriedly stepped forward.

Picking up a handful of water, she tasted it carefully, and there was no peculiar smell, and then she was relieved.

However, thinking that there was nothing to bring back the water, Gu Jinli was worried again.

Turning his head and looking around, there was nothing but the lotus flowers by the lake.

pinched a lotus leaf that was the largest away from herself, and Gu Jinli could only use it to hold water.

While carefully holding the lotus leaf and walking back, she paid attention to the road under her feet.

It took almost twice as much effort as before for Gu Jinli to return to her original place.

"Miss!" Aiyue's eyes were sharp, and she found that there were spots of blood oozing from Gu Jinli's legs, and she screamed in shock.

Seeing Aiyue leaning over, Gu Jinli couldn't help but hide the lotus leaf in her hand to the side, "Don't touch me!" ”

"Uh......" Aiyue's eyes widened, and then she saw the lotus leaf with not much water.

With a pout, she pointed to Gu Jinli's leg that was scratched by the bushes and said, "Miss...... Your leg hurts. ”

As if she hadn't heard Aiyue's words, Gu Jinli fed water into Qi Hao's mouth and asked, "How is the prince?" ”

Du Jiang and Qin Feng withdrew their hands at the same time after a while.

wiped the sweat from his face, and said in a low voice: "Concubine Gu, don't worry, the poison in the prince's body has almost been forced out." ”

Gu Jinli listened, and exhaled a heavy breath of turbidity: "Looking at the prince's appearance, I can't go to the Desperate Cliff on time today." ”

"Du Jiang, Qin Feng, the two of you will take the prince back to the house first, and I will ......"

"Heartless Cliff." Without waiting for Gu Jinli to finish speaking, Qi Hao suddenly spoke: "Now...... Go to the Cliff of Despair now! ”

Du Jiang was stunned for a moment, and said urgently: "But, Lord Wang, you are injured now, especially the two on your back, what if you are infected?" ”

Qi Hao barely supported his body, and said weakly: "Listen to this king, go to the Desperate Cliff." ”

His eyes didn't look at Gu Jinli, but the undoubtedness at the bottom of his eyes made her heart ripple.

is injured like this, but he still insists on going to the Cliff of Despair.

He, for Yin Suwan's sake, can really not even take his life......

She has never loved someone, so she can't realize how much she loves someone to get to such a point?

Suppressing the inexplicable touch in her heart, Gu Jinli whispered to Du Jiang: "You take the prince with you first, and Aiyue and I will go to the Desperate Cliff later." ”

Du Jiang nodded, then picked up Qi Hao and flew towards the Desperate Cliff.

After another cup of tea, everyone gathered at the top of the cliff of despair.

The cliff was empty, and Gu Jinli didn't know if Xiaoyaozi had already left or hadn't come at all, so she turned her head to look at Qi Hao.

Qi Hao sat on the ground against Du Jiang, covered his mouth and coughed a few times, swallowed the blood that surged up his throat, and said slowly: "Let's start." ”

There happened to be a flat stone on the side, Gu Jinli took the phoenix qin from Aiyue's arms, put the piano on it, and sat cross-legged.

He carefully wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and then began to play.

"Boom", after a few hurried and high-pitched sounds, bursts of melodious and tactful piano sounds flowed out between Gu Jinli's fingers.

It was like a breeze blowing in my heart, and like a bird whispering in my ear, in short, when I heard the sound of the piano, my heart flew up.

Qi Hao tried hard to open his heavy eyelids, looking at the woman in white clothes dyed with red plums with her head down and concentrating, her white lips unconsciously tightened.

The wound on my back is still scorching, but as long as I calm down and don't think about it, I am immersed in the sound of the piano, as if I have been smeared with ointment.

Her 3,000 strands of hair were scattered around her waist and occasionally blown by the wind, like a black waterfall flowing down from the mountains.

With the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, and the bright spring, she brought everyone into a wonderful world.

It's like hearing the lingering whispers of a lover, which makes people feel the sweetness of love.

Aiyue squatted aside, looked at Qi Hao, looked at Gu Jinli, held her cheeks and looked around, but except for them, she still didn't see anyone's shadow.

Sighing, she wondered if she would come for nothing today.

Until it was dark, there was no trace of Xiaoyaozi.

The people on the cliff do not increase, they do not decrease.

Sensing that the temperature on Qi Hao's body was getting higher and higher, Du Jiang raised his hand to probe his forehead, and then said nervously: "Lord Wang, you have a fever!" ”

Qi Hao's eyelids were already heavy and there was only one slit left, but he still used his last strength to hold on.

"No problem." Moving his lips, he laboriously spat out two words.

The sound of the piano in his ears has never been broken, like a string supporting him, so that he does not want to close his eyes even if his body is weak.

Qin Feng scratched the back of his head, and he was also very entangled.

Not to mention the cold wind blowing on the top of the cliff for so long, everyone is still hungry!

People are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry.

What's more, it's two meals!

After making a gesture to Du Jiang, Qin Feng took the two guards to find something to eat.

Although Gu Jinli played "Sunny Spring" for the first time by playing the piano, because of the familiarity of this piece and the longing for her mother, she completely entered the realm of selflessness.

Without saying a word, except for the fluttering of her fingers on the strings, she remained motionless in the same position.

I didn't feel my legs and feet numb, and I didn't realize that my fingers were bleeding.

Qi Hao's eyelids became heavier and heavier, and his vision became more and more blurred.

Du ...... River. Lifting a breath, he said vaguely: "Order...... This king's ...... 'Divine Court' cave. ”

Stimulating the 'Shenting' acupoint can eliminate dizziness and refresh the mind, Du Jiang responded, and began to massage his head according to Qi Hao's instructions.

Consciousness regained a little, and he stiffened his spirits and straightened up.

Du Jiang hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Lord Wang...... Will Xiaoyaozi come? ”

It's come to this point, and there is no one who Xiaoyaozi has yet to see, and Qi Hao is not sure whether he will come, so he can only remain silent.

"Lord Wang, let's pad it first." At this time, Qin Feng and the guards came back with some fruits.

Qi Hao shook his head, "You can eat it yourself." ”

"Lord Wang, you better eat something." Qin Feng was afraid that Qi Hao's body would not be able to support it, so he said, "My subordinates have all tasted it, and this fruit is not sour." ”

Because Yin Suwan likes sweets, Qi Hao is influenced by her and has a soft spot for sweet things.

Seeing Qi Hao's resolute attitude, Qin Feng had no choice but to distribute the fruit to Du Jiang, Aiyue and others.

As the night deepened, the picture of spring in Gu Jinli's piano gradually faded, and the rhythm of the piano began to become brisk, and then it became enthusiastic and unrestrained, leading people into summer.

Qin Feng and Du Jiang lit the torches with fire folds, and a few faint flames were like flashing eyes in this dark night, almost extinguished by the wind.

The pain in her fingers brought Gu Jinli back to her senses from her own world.

By the light of the fire, she could see that her fingers were red and swollen.

Looking up at Qi Hao again, I saw that his face was getting paler and paler, but a pair of eyes fell straight on her.

There were a thousand words hidden in the depths of that look, as if something had touched her heart and made her movements stronger.

"Hiss", the blood blister on her hand was cut by the strings, and she gasped.

Qi Hao saw blood flowing from her fingers, and her brows furrowed with her every move.

It's just that both of them know that they have been playing on the top of the cliff for so long, and if they give up halfway at this time, then the previous efforts will be in vain......

Removing her eyes, Gu Jinli stopped looking at Qi Hao, and continued to concentrate on returning to the enthusiasm of the summer heat.

The melody is fast and public, which makes people's emotions rise and become excited.

It's just that the warm sound of the piano became muffled after a while, because the blood on Gu Jinli's hands was flowing more and more, and the pain was like ten fingers being clamped by a bamboo board, and it was like being pricked on the tip of a knife.

Biting her lip, she played harder and harder, and her tone was a little messy.

Qi Hao didn't understand the rhythm, but he had participated in so many banquets and listened to so many tunes, so he naturally heard that something was wrong with this tune.

Looking at her pain-bearing but persistent appearance, his heart set off a surge.

Clenched his fists, he wanted to open his mouth to make her stop, but when the words reached his throat, he couldn't make a sound as if he was blocked by something.

Sensing Qi Hao's stiffness, Du Jiang said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, Concubine Gu has been playing for several hours, I'm afraid I can't hold on." ”

Aiyue on the side had already covered her mouth and burst into tears, but she didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of disturbing Gu Jinli.

She understands Gu Jinli's temperament, just as Du Jiang understands Qi Hao's temperament.

Although the two of them are people from different worlds, there is at least one thing in common, that is, as long as it is something that is identified, then it will not be easily changed.

Since Gu Jinli promised to finish playing "Sunny Spring", it must last for three days and three nights.

Even if she knew that her hands would be useless, she would definitely do it......

Snorting, Aiyue choked with tears in her eyes and said, "Miss......"

Hearing Aiyue's voice, Gu Jinli raised her head, smiled faintly, and signaled her not to worry about herself.

But seeing her reluctant smile, Aiyue's tears flowed more and more.

Qin Feng and Du Jiang were also infected by Aiyue, and the two of them were also very worried on their faces.

Although the prince usually doesn't care about Concubine Gu, except for the fact that Concubine Gu hurt the princess's leg off, in general, Concubine Gu is still a good person.

She is different from other women who like to be jealous, indifferent like a glass of boiled water, plain but the most real.

If someone else were to change, who would really be able to sit here and play for three days and three nights?

After all, it's about your own hands!

Gu Jinli's movements became slower and slower, and the melodious and melodious sound of the piano before was heard with a trace of sadness in his ears, and there was a very uncomfortable feeling.

This kind of discomfort is not that the song is unpleasant, but the desolation hidden in it, which makes people feel dull and depressing.

Blood, staining the strings red.

Gu Jinli's wrist also had a feeling that it was becoming more and more difficult to lift.

It was as if a thousand pounds of stone were pressing, and she didn't even have the strength to lift a finger.

Qi Hao's heart seemed to be being pulled and kneaded by someone.

He looked at her bitten lip, closed his eyes with struggle, and finally spoke: "Du Jiang, tell her, don't ...... again"

"Boom!"

Before the second half of the sentence was finished, I heard that the strings suddenly broke and the sound of the piano stopped abruptly.

Everyone was shocked, and they didn't know what had happened.

"Miss, are you alright?" Aiyue thought that it was because Gu Jinli had been playing the piano for too long and broke the strings, so she hurriedly ran forward, picked up her bloody hand, and cried even more: "Woo woo...... Miss, you must be in pain, aren't you? ”

Gu Jinli looked at the strings in a daze, only to see a thin silver needle inserted into the body.

As soon as her eyes moved, she stood up "poofed", looked at the vast dark night, and said loudly: "Xiaoyaozi senior? ”

Seeing that there was no movement around, she said tentatively: "Senior Xiaoyaozi, if you are here, please show up!" ”
