Chapter Forty-Eight: The Near-Death Realm

Qiu Chulin's swift offensive made Hongxia Yike unable to fight back for a while, so he had to quickly dodge, and then he would dodge a few swords.

Qiu Chulin attacked again and again, and the blade of the sword was slightly off.

Hongxia Yike saw the right time and decided to take a sword in the flesh to create an opportunity for himself to draw the sword to fight back, but he didn't want to fall for Qiu Chulin's plan, Qiu Chulin's sword blade that was about to stab into his shoulder suddenly flashed and stabbed straight into Hongxia Yike's chest.

The blade of the sword had already pierced into Hongxia Yike's skin.

At the last moment, the stone in Lime's hand shot out extremely quickly, hitting the blade of the sword, breaking the sword body alive, and the tip of the sword that had been pierced into the chest popped out of Hongxia Yike's chest with the attack of the stone, failing to cause fatal injuries, and the stone was directly turned into powder.

Qiu Chulin didn't feel the slightest surprise at what happened at this moment, he discarded the remnant sword in his hand at the first time, and threw a hidden weapon at the lime with great agility.

At this moment, Lime's attention was all focused on Hongxia Yike, and it was too late when she noticed the hidden weapon, she dodged to avoid the vital point, but she still let the hidden weapon slash through her arm, leaving a bloody mark.

Lime gritted his teeth, and when he raised his head again, Qiu Chulin was no longer in place, he actually gave up killing Hongxia Yike, and chased after her, at this moment it was close at hand, Lime couldn't care about much, and quickly picked up the light gong to escape, she pointed to the acupoint to stop the bleeding, and shuttled through the dense forest.

It seems that Qiu Chulin came prepared today, and the target was not only Hongxia Yike, but also set a trap for her to lure her into the bait.

Lime fled quickly in the forest, and the people behind him kept chasing after him, and the distance between the two people narrowed little by little. The rainbow-like momentum came towards Lime, and in a short time, a hand landed on Lime's shoulder.

The force of that hand was so great that it almost crushed Lime's shoulder blades, and the lime was forcibly stopped by him, and the next moment he had already thrown the person on the trunk of the tree, and the hand pressed against her neck, pressing her firmly against the tree, and at the same time tightening it hard.

"Ah......h

The palm of his hand condensed his internal force, and the lime tried his best to deliver a fatal blow to Qiu Chulin. But before he could get closer, he was grabbed by Qiu Chulin's wrist and suppressed it with strong internal force.

There was a sharp pain in his wrist, and the feeling of suffocation was getting heavier and heavier, and Lime was alone, so he could only open his mouth and try to exchange his life for the affection of the master and servant, "Gong... Childe ......"

"Ling'er......" Qiu Chulin looked at her, there was no surprise in his eyes, "Do you remember what I said?" If you have two hearts, I will strangle you with my own hands. ”

"Childe ......" Lime opened her mouth with difficulty, and her eyes finally reflected panic, her father hadn't been saved yet, she couldn't die! Tears rolled down his cheeks and dripped on Qiu Chulin's wrist, and Lime finally knew what fear was at this moment, "No...... To ......"

Who would have thought that as soon as the word "childe" came out, Qiu Chulin immediately added a little more force, completely depriving her of her voice, Lime opened her mouth, but she couldn't speak.

She became extremely difficult to breathe, began to dizzy and tinnitus, her world became more and more blurry, she could not see anything, she could not hear anything, as if all her senses were deprived, she could feel nothing but heaviness, everything was moving away from her.

She was familiar with the feeling, which she only felt when she was near-dying, and little by little her consciousness dissipated, she slowly closed her eyes, and everything would end in this moment.

"Ling'er, we will write off the past accounts." Qiu Chulin stepped forward, and when she was about to lose consciousness, he leaned close to her earlobe and said softly, "From now on, I won't let you think about other people in your heart, even if it's your annoying brother, you need to be behind me." ”

Qiu Chulin finally let go of her hand, and she slid down the trunk of the tree, her breath faintly imperceptible.

He picked her up, his palms over her back, and the internal force pumped into her body, trying to pull her back from her near-death situation.

Half an hour later, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and she finally choked in his arms, and then gulped for greedy breath.

The feeling of suffocation slowly dissipated, and the lime felt like she had gone to the ghost gate for a while, and her heart palpitated. Before she could breathe steadily, she felt a blow to the back of her neck and lost consciousness.

Qiu Chulin caressed her cheeks, the strange fragrance lingered on the tip of his nose, he frowned slightly, and pulled a piece of fabric on himself to bandage her.

He sighed softly, the corners of his lips slightly raised, got up, took her in his arms, and walked on foot towards the exit of the hunting ground.

Lemon, I've let you lie for so long.

The sky is getting dark, and the guards outside the hunting ground are looking forward to it, it has been more than an hour compared to before, General Qiu has always been punctual, did he encounter an accident this time?

The guards waited for a long time, but there was still no trace of Qiu Chulin, and when he was about to get on his horse and go to the camp to report, Qiu Chulin finally appeared in his field of vision, and he was not alone, he was still holding a girl in his arms.

The guards had the courage to take a look, it turned out to be the girl who went in with the county lord on the second day, the county lord encountered a tiger on the third day and was rescued back, no wonder this girl had no news, it turned out that she was taken away by General Qiu.

Hongxia Yike took a dozen people away, but only brought back three people, and the others either quit halfway or died in the hunting ground.

Today is the deadline, I am afraid that I have encountered an accident if I can't come out, and at this moment in the camp, the people are noisy, the minister who has lost his beloved son is crying bitterly, and the minister who has passed the life and death barrier is accepting the congratulations of other ministers, this scene makes people feel a sense of sadness for no reason.

Hongxia Yike and the others went to the medical tent to deal with the injuries on their bodies, and they did not mention what happened in the hunting ground from beginning to end.

Qiu Chulin hadn't returned yet, Yan Qiyang didn't say a word, his face was gloomy, and people didn't dare to approach.

Everyone thought that the regent was worried about General Qiu, but no one knew that at this time, Yan Qiyang hoped more that Qiu Chulin would die in the hunting ground, at least so, it showed that he did not betray himself.

Suddenly, there was a sound of horses' hooves not far away, and everyone heard the voice, it was the long-awaited General Qiu, unlike in the past, there was still a woman lying in his arms today.

He escorted the woman in his arms to turn over and dismount, extremely handsome, indescribably heroic.

Yan Qiyang was congratulated by everyone, although his face softened a little, his eyes became more and more gloomy.

"General, you're finally back!" Qiu Xiyang hurriedly ran forward, and the worry on his face finally faded, "Miss Lime, what's wrong with her?" ”

"I ordered you to protect her before I left, and that's how you carried out your orders!" Although Qiu Chulin lowered his voice, he couldn't hide his anger.

"General, your subordinates are guilty." Qiu Xiyang immediately knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty.

"What the hell is going on?" Qiu Chulin asked, "Get up and talk back!" ”

"After the general left, the emperor found a reason to point out the county lord of An Guohou to the general, and forced the girl to take the order for the general." Qiu Xiyang understood, got up and took the lime in Qiu Chulin's arms, followed closely behind Qiu Chulin, and lowered his voice to quickly explain what happened, "In order not to put the general in a dilemma, the girl agreed to compete with the county lord for three games, but the girl lost one and had to enter the hunting ground for the third competition. ”

"I know, you take her back to the house now, and you must guard her every step of the way." Qiu Chulin paused and added, "If she wakes up, she will be stunned again, and she must not be allowed to leave the General's Mansion!" ”

"Yes, General." Qiu Xiyang replied.

After a moment, he froze in place, looking at the figure of the general in the distance, and did not understand what the phrase "stunned again" meant. didn't have time to think about the general's intentions, Qiu Xiyang hurriedly came to the camp with the lime, set up the carriage, and drove the lime back to the general's mansion.

"The enmity of Chu Lin is the emperor, the concubine." Qiu Chulin strode to the front of everyone, took out a palm-sized bitter longzhi from his arms, and knelt down on one knee to offer it, "This is this year's bitter longzhi, please take a look at it." ”

"Well, this year's bitter Longzhi is much older than in previous years, and I have worked hard to love Qing." Hongxia Zuofeng picked up the bitter longzhi presented by the eunuch and symbolically looked at it and put it back, waved his sleeves at the eunuch, and motioned for him to send the lingzhi down, "This year's Lingzhi Aiqing will arrange it by herself, and you don't have to give it to me." ”

"Thank you to the emperor, the minister wants to transfer it to the minister's father-in-law, the regent, to show filial piety. Please ask the emperor for your permission. Qiu Chulin said.

"That's right." Hongxia Zuofeng Road.

"Your Majesty." Qiu Chulin got up, took the lingzhi in the hands of the eunuch and brought it directly to Yan Qiyang, and offered it with both hands, "Please smile and take care of your body." ”

"Lin'er has a heart." Yan Qiyang smiled, "Let's go and deal with the wound, the celebration banquet is about to start." ”

The guards behind Yan Qiyang stepped forward to take the Ganoderma lucidum, Qiu Chulin bowed deeply before withdrawing, in the eyes of outsiders, the warm picture of father and son filial piety was actually surging.

Yan Qiyang was kind and smiling on the surface, but his eyes were always full of murderous intent.

Qiu Chulin handed over the Ganoderma lucidum, but there was a little more discomfort and doubt in his heart, Yan Qiyang's attitude made him very uncomfortable, and the guards who were different from usual made him wonder, where did the swordsman go? Why is the stepfather following another person?

The people in the car hadn't woken up yet, Qiu Xiyang was very happy, otherwise he really didn't know how to explain to Lime, let alone how to start.

Raising his hand and adding a whip, the horse's speed increased a few more points, and the gate of Chu'an was close in sight.

A masked man suddenly appeared on the wide road in front of him, the man was holding a sword, and he did not move, Qiu Xiyang quickly tightened the reins and slowed down the horse, but the carriage jolted and almost overturned.

"Who are you?" Qiu Xiyang drew his sword and stood up, "Do you know that this is the carriage of the General's Mansion, and you dare to rob it!" ”

"It was the carriage of your general's mansion that was robbed." The masked man sneered and flew towards Qiu Xiyang.

Qiu Xiyang only took one move, and he knew that he was not this person's opponent, but he still met it and couldn't let this person succeed.

After a long struggle, the masked man was obviously impatient, he attacked with all his strength, and when Qiu Xiyang's move was empty, a palm slashed at the back of his neck, knocking him unconscious.

Then the man put away his veil, drove the carriage, and ran towards the city of Chu'an.

I don't know how long it took for Qiu Xiyang to wake up, and the carriage and people had been taken away.

There was a pain in the back of his neck, why did this move of the masked man feel so familiar to him? The more he thought about it, the stronger the feeling of familiarity became, and finally a figure appeared in his mind, gradually overlapping with the masked man.

It's him, Swordsman.
