When I came to the stable, the other three people who followed me had been waiting there for a long time, and when they saw me approaching with a cold face with the package, the three of them immediately greeted me, and I had already learned their names from Lu Ying's mouth, so I naturally handed the not very heavy package to one of the courteous people, and said in a deep voice: "Leave immediately, it will be dark if you delay any longer." ”

"Yes!" The other three attendants immediately nodded in agreement, I glanced at Xiao Liu, who was hiding in the shadows, he nodded at me, and pointed to one of the horses, I knew in my heart that it was the horse he had prepared for me, and the saddle was filled with the silver taels needed for the road and the poison I had prepared for self-defense, and winked at him invisibly, and then paced to the side of the horse, and said to the little man in charge of the horse in the stable, "I want this one." ”

The little guy said hesitantly: "But master, what I have prepared for you is that ......" He pointed to a group of dark-colored and brightly colored horses next to him, and before I could speak, the attendants behind him glared, "My boss can have whichever horse he wants, when will it be your turn to gossip!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes." The little servant was frightened by the fierce appearance of the attendant, and hurriedly agreed, I turned over, and got on the horse neatly, without waiting for them, raised the whip, and rushed out of the yard directly, and then there was a chaotic sound of horses' hooves and the sound of horses driving behind us, and we were a group of four people, so unimpeded out of the inn.

The sky was blue, the sun was just right, it was a very dilapidated town, there were almost no pedestrians on the streets, and we didn't slow down at all, and we ran out of the town like a lightning speed.

My body hadn't recovered yet, and the violent jolting made the wounds on my body ache, but I saw dust dancing in the sun, and the smell of flowers came from the side of the road, and I took a deep breath on horseback, it was the smell of freedom, and finally, I escaped!

But I don't dare to have the slightest slack and stay, because Xuanyuan Lingxiao may find out at any time and send someone to catch up, if I don't find strong protection, I will most likely be caught by them again, if I come again, I won't be so easy to escape, this time because of illness and weakness, so that they relaxed their vigilance, plus Xiaoliu and Lu Ying as the two of them as the inner should help me, I was able to escape so smoothly, I don't believe that my good luck can be maintained until the next time.

I endured severe pain, and ran wildly with the three followers for a long time, feeling that the clothes on my back were soaked with sweat, so I had to stop and rest for a while, the three people were already tired and panting, it can be seen that my face was gloomy, sweat fell like a waterfall, and I squatted silently under the big tree to rest, and they didn't dare to say anything more, they could only muttered to themselves in their hearts.

It didn't take long for me to feel a little stronger, my whole body was sticky, Lu Ying's worst fear still happened, some wounds on my body were torn open again, and now blood was oozing out, one of the attendants sniffed, and suddenly said, "Where did the smell of blood come from?" ”

The other two sucked in the gourd, "It seems to be true." ”

My heart tightened, and I tried to get up and move to the horse, and my hand crept into the saddle, and grasped the bottle of poison firmly in my hand, I knew that the time and place were not very good, but if they really found out, they could only give them a taste of poison in advance.

"Maybe it's my ......," said one of the attendants with a wry smile, "and the base of my thigh seems to be worn out." ”

"Tsk, shame."

"Your riding skills are good, I'll wait to see if you can walk normally if you ride like this for another half a day!"

"Cut, little meaning."

The three of them began to gag, I breathed a sigh of relief, unloaded my strength, and leaned my body completely on the horse, when suddenly a rapid sound of horses' hooves came from the direction we came, I suddenly looked up, and looked at the loess flying in the distance in disbelief, and my heart was almost jumping out, could it be so fast...... I was discovered?

The three attendants were also very strange, they all stood up, I quietly took a step back, quickly looked at the surrounding terrain, and quickly imagined in my mind how to escape, under my saddle there was poison and fire folds, if I stood in the wind and ignited the poison, would I be able to stun them all in one fell swoop? But now the wind is not in the right direction...... But fortunately, only one horse came, and if it was really a pursuer, I would not have no chance of escaping.

The man got closer and closer, but I was surprised to find that it wasn't Lu Ying who was riding on horseback?

"You ......" I was a little stunned, my mood was like ice and fire, ups and downs, she turned over and dismounted, without the slightest greeting, and said directly: "You go quickly, someone found out, Xiaoliu intercepted them on the road, I came to report the news." ”

The three attendants looked at the scene in front of them a little sluggishly, and after listening to Lu Ying's words, they all asked confusedly, "Boss, this girl ...... Is it your little lover? ”

I didn't have time to pay attention to them, so I only had time to ask Lu Ying, "How did you find out?" ”

"Get on your horse and talk as you go!"

I nodded, turned over and jumped on the horse, and before the three followers could come to their senses, they were left behind by me and Lu Ying.

"Eh, Boss......"

The wind whistled past my ears, and I felt that the muscles of my whole body were tensed together, and out of nowhere, strength burst out, supporting my extremely fragile body just now, and Lu Ying's voice floated from the wind.

"Not long after you left, a spy came to report that a general Dongxu led a rapid march to rescue you, Xuanyuan...... After hearing this, the prince immediately decided to let us leave for Chiyang immediately, so he ...... The guards who were still unconscious in your room were exposed, Xiao Liu and I saw that the situation was not right, so we immediately stole the horse and ran out, you are fast, I chased you for a long time to catch up with you, the prince will not let you go easily, he will definitely send someone to arrest you, Xiao Liu has tried his best to delay on the way, you just have to run back and forth, as long as you meet the people who come to save you, everything will be safe! ”

I listened to her panting voice, and a warm current surged through my heart, and I said sincerely: "Thank you, Yingzi!" ”

Her hearty and energetic laughter came, "Who called us friends!" ”

Friend, it's really a warm word, I must escape, otherwise it will be in vain that she and Xiaoliu have planned so much for me, and then, I will stop talking to her and concentrate on hurrying, but people will be tired, and horses will also, although Xiaoliu picked a good horse for me, but after all, it is not a war horse, and it can't withstand such a continuous run without rest, and it didn't take long for the speed of the horse to run slowly, I was already sitting on the back of the horse and crumbling, Lu Ying looked at me worriedly: "A Ji, are you okay?" ”

I shook my head and gritted my teeth, "I can still hold on." ”

"Your face is already pale......" she inadvertently swept me back, exclaiming, "Your wound is open!" ”

"It's okay, victory is just around the corner." I smiled weakly at her, her eyes were red, and she nodded firmly at me: "Yes, victory is at hand, you hold on a little longer!" ”

"I can hold on, I'm going back to hug my ingots, I feel like I haven't seen him in a long, long time." A figure as light as an ink painting appeared in front of me, and I shouted, and I didn't know where I got the strength, and with a sharp whip, the horse under me neighed, and picked up speed again.

But gradually, I can still hear the sound of the horse's hooves of the pursuers behind me getting closer and closer, getting closer and closer, but I don't dare to look back, for fear that I will miss the opportunity to move forward again, Lu Ying has been cheering for me by the side, I held my breath and did not let go, as if only in this way can I rush forward with all my might.

The reality is so cruel, the chasing soldiers are getting closer and closer to us, I can even hear the voice of Xiao Liu's anger in the team, he is the sixth prince of Chiyang, those people naturally dare not do anything to him, but he has no ability to stop the order given by Xuanyuan Lingxiao, the scenery on the side of the road keeps retreating, I hold the reins firmly in one hand, and keep waving the leather whip with one hand, my body has been so bumped that I am unconscious, and there is only one belief in my mind to support me.

I want to go home!

I don't know if God heard my shout, there was a rumbling sound of horses' hooves in front of me, Lu Ying's eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed: "It should be the person who came to save you!" ”

A glimmer of hope rose in my heart, my eyes were more determined, the sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and the speed of the pursuers behind me seemed to be gradually slowing down, because just listening to the sound of horses' hooves could know that there must be a lot of people coming, and the dozen or so pursuers behind, even if they were all elites, were also outnumbered, I was happy in my heart, and the figure of the rapid march appeared in front of me, I excitedly stretched out my hand and waved it over there, but who knew that the joy was extremely sad, a sudden bump, my body shook, and I immediately wanted to roll off the horse.

Lu Ying's eyes were fast, and at the same time as I fell off the horse's back, he pulled me to the side to avoid me being trampled by the horse's hooves, and at the same time protected me with his body, and fell heavily to the ground, there was a dull pain in my arm, and finally I couldn't help but snort, and in a trance I seemed to hear the sound of bones breaking, but my back was soft, and there was no pain, I quickly struggled to get up, and found that Lu Ying was already full of pain.

"Yingzi, where are you hurt?"

Lu Ying sat up and shook her head, "It's not a big deal," and then she looked at my arm and exclaimed, "A thistle, your hand ......" I looked down and found that my right hand was bending downward in a strange posture, and I showed a wry smile, "It may be broken." ”

"Hurry up, the person who picked you up is here."

I was helped to my feet by her, but she didn't intend to walk with me, "Thistle, we're going to part here." ”

I was grateful in my heart, she was willing to turn her back on her country and the king to help me, this kind of friendship is really difficult to repay in this life, I nodded at her, "Backwards...... We'll see you again, and when the time comes, I'll treat you to a drink. ”

She showed a rare hint of innocent and hearty smile, "Good! Be sure not to forget. ”

"Hmm!" I engraved this promise deeply into my heart, and waved at her with my intact left hand, and her eyes were bright, and she waved at me, and I limped and walked in the direction of the rapid march with pain, and it was here that she and I were finally separated, and went to our respective destinies.

"Whoosh", suddenly I heard the sound of arrows sliding through the air, my eyes widened, and I looked behind me in disbelief, Lu Ying, who had already walked dozens of steps, fell to the ground with an arrow stuck behind his back.

"Yingzi!" Xiao Liu's heart-rending shout came from the chasing team on the opposite side, but then, more arrows came from the direction of the rapid march, and they found the pursuers and planned to destroy that team!

I saw Xiao Liu stumbling, regardless of the obstruction of others, braving the rain of arrows and walking towards Lu Ying without hesitation, and many pursuers fell to the ground with arrows, but those arrows seemed to have eyes, and they all bypassed me very deliberately, and chased straight towards those Chiyang people behind me, if it weren't for Lu Ying and Xiao Liu, maybe I agreed with their approach, but ......

"Stop!" I stretched out my arms to block between the two armies, and the rain of arrows stopped in an instant, "Stop," I muttered, and saw the leading general turn over and dismount, and walk towards me, my body had been supported to the limit, and there was a trance in front of me, until he approached, I realized that it was Shi Nan.

I smiled at him, his eyes full of pain and anger, "Ma'am! ”

I turned to look in the direction of the pursuers, Xiao Liu had already helped Lu Ying who fell to the ground up, carefully protected in his arms like a treasure in the world, a pool of blood flowed on the ground, Xiao Liu's eyes were cold and unfamiliar, as if coming through thousands of mountains and rivers, we were only a few dozen steps apart, with Shi Nan's martial arts, he could completely step forward and catch the two of them, so he was waiting for my order.

"Let them go." I sighed softly.

"Madame!"

I looked at Xiao Liu's eyes, and the corners of my mouth curled slightly, "They are my friends." ”

The coldness in Xiao Liu's eyes dissipated in an instant, and he became the friend I was familiar with, he nodded at me, and then helped Lu Ying, turned around without hesitation, and walked in the direction when he came, they faltered, but they were very firm, Xiao Liu at that moment, suddenly no longer the gag in the past, only laughing and scolding teenagers, he stood up to the sky, with his own hands, for Lu Ying in his arms to hold up a piece of the sky, I looked at their backs, showing a sincere smile.

"Madam, did you really let them go?" Shi Nan asked again.

"yes......" I looked up at the sky and exhaled a cloudy breath, "I can finally go home." ”

Then the world swirled, and there seemed to be a shinan's exclamation in my ears, but the darkness surrounded me, and I felt my whole body relaxed, my head tilted, and I was completely unconscious.

Xiaoliu, Yingzi, may the two of you hold the hand of the son, grow old together, be able to stay away from the war, live happily, must not change, retain the innocence and heartiness of the present, retain the heart of the child, do not be polluted by the mortal world, when you say goodbye, as long as you are still the little Liuyingzi of the year, I will still be the thistle in your mouth.

Goodbye, my dearest friend.
