Chapter 90: Let's jump off the cliff
Xia Zimo is running in the streets and alleys of Connecticut with Qiu Luoxue on his back, but there will be new pursuers constantly. He sensed that he would be caught sooner or later, and suddenly saw a new pursuer on horseback, and a bold idea arose in his heart.
Xia Zimo found a hidden corner, gently put Qiu Luoxue on the ground, and said, "You wait here first, I'll be back immediately." As soon as he took a few steps, he suddenly remembered that Qiu Luoxue didn't like to see dead people, so he returned to the place where Qiu Luoxue was standing, stretched out his hand to cover her eyes, and said, "Don't look at it, I'll be fine right away." ”
After speaking, Xia Zimo returned to the middle of the road, looking at the slowly approaching pursuers, his eyes revealing firmness. His goal is not to defeat the person in front of him, but to grab a horse and take Qiu Luoxue out safely.
Qiu Luoxue didn't open her eyes very obediently, she knew that Xia Zimo was doing this to care about her feelings. In this case, in order to survive, she must kill someone, so she will not blame Xia Zimo for this.
It's just that if she opens her eyes, she will see Xia Zimo's heroic figure in the snow, he pulled out the soft sword he wore on his waist and rushed into the pursuers, although the soft sword was soft, but the moves were fierce. With the rotation of his wrist, the sword in his hand also turned rapidly, swinging left and right, fighting the pursuers around him, his soft sword slashed through the bodies of those people, and blood gushed out. When he raises his sword, he will find that his eyes are as sharp as the blade. Snowflakes fell and landed on his long eyelashes, revealing a sparkle of sparkle. But none of this affected his moves. As he raised his sword, the remaining blood on the blade spilled and landed in the corner of his eye. Like a tear mole, it adds to his charm.
I didn't see all this autumn snow, but after a long time, I heard the sound of horses' hooves approaching. After hearing the voice, Qiu Luoxue opened her eyes, and saw Xia Zimo's hand stretched out to her, and he said, "Give me your hand." ”
The white snow, like magnolia petals, fell between the heavens and the earth, and the lanterns on the street emitted a hazy light, and the snow fell one after another in that light, and the snowflakes like catkins covered the earth. Autumn Luoxue On such a day when snowflakes fell, surrounded by fluttering snowflakes, he put his hand in Xia Zimo's hand. The latter grabbed her hand and pulled her onto the horse.
After getting on the horse, Qiu Luoxue's hand wrapped around Xia Zimo's waist and leaned her face on his solid back. Because of him, Qiu Luoxue has a sense of security. No matter how many pursuers there were behind her, no matter how cold the weather was, no matter what would happen in the next second, she was not afraid.
Under the guise of diagnosing a patient, Xu Zhonghang sent someone to find Allure. He asked, "Where is your son-in-law now?" ”
"Childe went to Lord Zhao's house." Allure replied.
Speaking of Lord Zhao, Xu Zhonghang suddenly remembered that once he saw that person and Jiang Zhuo together, and the two looked very familiar. Since Jiang Zhuo is already planning to make a move on Qiu Luoxue, does that mean that Lord Zhao will also be an accomplice?
Thinking of this, Xu Zhonghang said anxiously: "It's not good, your son-in-law may be in danger." It's inconvenient for me to go out now, you go to Zhao Mansion and call her back. ”
As soon as Allure heard that Qiu Luoxue was in danger, he didn't dare to delay, and immediately set off to Zhao Mansion to find Qiu Luoxue. But on the way, he encountered Hanshan.
"Why are you here? What about my son-in-law and the emperor? Allure asked.
"An assassin suddenly appeared just now, and the emperor and the prime minister left first." Hanshan said, and asked, "Haven't they returned to the government yet?" ”
Allure shook his head and said, "No." Because she was afraid that something would happen to Qiu Luoxue, she seemed very anxious.
"Don't worry, the girl in the city, there is the emperor, and you won't let your son-in-law have an accident." Hanshan comforted her.
So, the two set off together and continued to look for Qiu Luoxue and Xia Zimo in the streets and alleys. After a while, they found the place where Xia Zimo grabbed the horse, but there was only a pile of corpses and residual blood stains of the pursuers.
Han Shan stepped forward to check the corpse and said, "It's the emperor's sword technique." Since he has used force, the situation must be urgent, and we still need to find them as soon as possible. ”
At this time, Xia Zimo had already returned to the front of the mansion with Qiu Luoxue, and before he could stop the horse, he saw Feng An and Fang Weibing, who were under King Chen, in front of the mansion yamen. Wise, he quickly thought that everything that happened tonight might have been arranged by King Chen in advance. If you enter the government, you are likely to become a turtle in the urn. So, he decided to turn around and walk out of the city gates.
The neighing of the horses alarmed the pursuers who were waiting at the gate of the palace, and when Fang Weibing saw them, he said, "It's them, chase quickly." ”
The horse galloped forward, and the cold wind blew "whirring", and the horse's hooves stepped on the snow, leaving a string of horseshoe prints. The city gate had already been closed, and Qiu Luoxue raised the white jade unicorn token in her hand high and shouted: "I have an urgent matter to get out of the city, open the city gate quickly." ”
As soon as the soldiers guarding the city gate saw that it was a unicorn token, they didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and hurriedly opened the city gate, and Xia Zimo and Qiu Luoxue rode out of the city. It's just that the pursuers behind have the prefect's token and can easily get out of the city, so they still haven't completely avoided the pursuers.
At this time, it was late at night, it was snowing heavily, Xia Zimo and Qiu Luoxue were not familiar with each other, coupled with the round-up of the pursuers, they could only run around on horseback, but they inadvertently entered a forest. It was inconvenient to ride a horse, and the mark of the horse's hooves could easily attract the pursuers, so they decided to walk on horseback. Qiu Luoxue's feet were still not good, so Xia Zimo carried him on his back and continued to walk. It was obviously cold weather, but they were sweating from the tense atmosphere of avoiding the pursuers.
In the woods, there were many places to hide, so they hid and kept going. As he walked, he suddenly encountered a chaser all the way. Xia Zimo's eyesight and reaction speed were very fast, and he pulled Qiu Luoxue into the dry grass in time to hide. The space here is small, and they can only lean closely. Through the faint moonlight, they could see each other's faces.
Only then did Qiu Luoxue see the blood stains remaining on Xia Zimo's face, and reached out to wipe the blood away. When Qiu Luoxue's hand moved away from Xia Zimo's face, Xia Zimo reached out and grabbed her hand. The temperature from the palm of his hand warmed Qiu Luoxue's cold little hands.
Soon, the pursuers walked away from them. Xia Zimo pulled Qiu Luoxue and continued to walk in another direction.
Time continued to move forward, in the cold mountains and allures in the city, they were still anxiously looking for Xia Zimo and Qiu Luoxue, while Xu Zhonghang was anxiously waiting for news in the medical hall. Also anxious are King Chen's men, who know that they can't kill Qiu Luoxue this time, and what awaits them is death. It's not that I'm afraid of being retaliated against by Qiu Luoxue, but when the mission fails, King Chen will not hesitate to solve them. That person doesn't care about the so-called friendship.
Although Xia Zimo and Qiu Luoxue carefully hid, they were finally discovered, and they had no choice but to run quickly. Perhaps because she felt the threat of death, Qiu Luoxue couldn't care about the pain in her feet, and quickly followed Xia Zimo's steps forward. It's just that they eventually ran to a dead end. Ahead, there is the cliff.
"Run, keep running, aren't you very good at running? Keep running. Shi Fang Weibing, who came to chase Qiu Luoxue and Xia Zimo, had a smug look on his face at this moment.
Xia Zimo looked back at the height of the cliff, turned his head to Qiu Luoxue and said, "Do you believe me?" ”
Of course I did. But now that they're dying, why are you still talking about this? Let's find a way to escape for your life first, and then sensationalize......" Qiu Luoxue said, a little scared in her heart.
But before she finished speaking, Xia Zimo pulled her and jumped off the cliff, leaving only Qiu Luoxue's frightened screams in the air.
Fang Weibing and the others were also caught off guard, they didn't expect that they would choose to jump off the cliff, seeing the two of them jumping, they rushed forward to check without exception, but it was dark under the cliff and they couldn't see anything.
"What? I haven't done it yet? Why are you jumping off by yourself? Fang Weibing said.
"What now?" One of his subordinates asked Fang Weibing.
"What else can I do? The prince said that he must watch him breathe with his own eyes. Fang Weibing said, "If you live to see people, if you die to see corpses, you will go down the cliff to look for it after dawn." ”
The moment she jumped off the cliff, Qiu Luoxue closed her eyes in fear, and when she opened her eyes again, she found herself hanging in the air with Xia Zimo, and immediately let out another scream.
"Hey~ my ears, okay, stop shouting." Xia Zimo said disgustedly.
"Xia Zimo, you bastard! I believe you so much, you actually jumped off a cliff with me! Qiu Luoxue said, not calming her mood yet.
"There is still a glimmer of life when you jump down, and if you don't jump down, you can only wait for death." Xia Zimo said.
"Since early death and late death are death, it is better to be stabbed on it and end your life, how painful it is to hang like this, to be tormented by death. What to do? Should I just let go and jump down, I'm so scared to hang like this. Qiu Luoxue felt a burst of fear as she spoke, and her voice sounded like she was about to cry.
"I'm not going to let you die." Xia Zimo promised, he hugged Qiu Luoxue's waist tightly with one hand, and grabbed the stone on the edge of the cliff with the other.
"You can't protect yourself, how can you guarantee that I won't die." Qiu Luoxue muttered.
"Can your hands move now?" Xia Zimo ignored Qiu Luoxue's muttering, and asked instead.
"It's a little shivering, but it's still moving." Qiu Luoxue took her hand in front of her eyes and looked at it and said.
Her tone made Xia Zimo feel amused, hooked her lips and smiled, and said, "Then you can see if you can reach my hand, there is a small mechanism in the wrist part, press it down." ”
"What's the use of pressing?" Qiu Luoxue asked.
"Just press it and you'll know." Xia Zimo said.
Qiu Luoxue listened to Xia Zimo's words, tried to reach Xia Zimo's other hand, fumbled in his cuffs, and finally found something similar to a small mechanism, and pressed it. The moment she pressed the mechanism, Xia Zimo let go of the hand holding Shi Bi, and the two started the process of falling again.
