Chapter 56: No Way Back
"Shi Ying has lived in the senior brother's mansion for some time, and I have never seen a woman of the same age as Shi Ying." Ke Shiying stepped forward slowly and said with a clever smile, "The girl is the person next to the second prince of Shuochu?" ”
"Exactly." Lime nodded, barely holding up a smile in return, it turned out that the woman Xiu Yi was going to marry was his junior sister.
Even a woman like Lime, when she sees Ke Shiying, she will sincerely admire: cheeks are condensed with new li, the nose is greasy with goose fat, gentle and silent, and the view is amiable.
"The girl is new to Jinnan, if there is a place that she is not used to, even if she comes to me, I will live in Jingyuan." Ke Shiying said enthusiastically, "I don't know the girl's name yet? ”
"Thank you Miss Shiying for your concern, if necessary, I will definitely go to Jingyuan to find a girl to help." Lime replied politely, "My surname is Zhuo, and my name is Lime." ”
"It turned out to be Miss Zhuo, as soon as I saw the girl today, Shi Ying felt like she was at first sight with the girl, if the girl did not give up, she would like to walk around the beautiful scenery of the house with Shi Ying and talk together." Ke Shiying stepped forward with a smile, took Lime's hand, and said with some regret, "It's a pity that Senior Brother said that without his company, Shiying can't go out of the house, otherwise she will definitely take the girl out for a walk." ”
"This is His Royal Highness the Prince's concern for the safety of Miss, and Miss is more considerate." Lime was slightly stunned, and then her eyes dimmed a little.
When Ke Shiying reached over, she inadvertently caught her pulse, and the pulse showed that she was a month pregnant.
"Yes, I naturally know that my senior brother cares for me, so I stay in the house honestly and don't worry him." Ke Shiying's face turned red, it looked like a delicate flower, and no one loved it.
Now that she has decided to leave, everything here no longer has anything to do with her, and she shouldn't pay attention to it anymore, Lime narrowed her eyes and said, "Lime has thanked Miss for her kindness, but Lime still has important things to do today, and she has to go out." After coming back, I will definitely go to Jingyuan to find Miss and accompany Miss to enjoy the scenery and chat. ”
"In this case, Shi Ying can't miss the girl's important things, the girl will go to do things, and Shi Ying will wait for the girl in the quiet garden." Ke Shiying withdrew her hand with a smile and returned the blessing with a slight blessing.
"Thank you for your understanding, Lime farewell." Lime Road.
The figure of Lime is getting farther and farther away, and the kindness that has been maintained on Ke Shiying's face for a long time finally cracks, and the clear and bright eyes that are as clear and bright as cutting water are faintly calculating at this moment.
It wasn't until there was no lime shadow in front of her that Ke Shiying withdrew her gaze, she hesitated for a moment, and stepped into the west courtyard.
There are all kinds of utensils in the side room, and there is nothing suspicious, only a brocade box on the table is slightly conspicuous.
Ke Shiying ordered the maid to open the brocade box and unfold the contents of the box on the table.
"Miss, there's only one letter in the brocade box." The maid Xiangning handed the letter in the brocade box to Ke Shiying.
Ke Shiying took the letter, and when she saw the words "Xiu Yi personally opened" written on the envelope, her frowning brows tightened a little.
A moment later, Ke Shiying slammed the letter and the envelope on the table with a "bang", and the anger in her eyes was surging, making the maid on the side tremble.
After a long time, Xiang Ning dared to step forward and said softly, "Miss is angry, don't hurt yourself, you are pregnant, don't scare the little son in the womb." ”
"Child, don't be afraid, my mother is playing with you." Ke Shiying stroked her lower abdomen and said softly, but there was a fierce color in her eyes, "Xiangning, you go outside and call some people in, and then immediately go to find my senior brother, just say that my old illness has relapsed, the situation is critical, let him hurry back home!" ”
"Miss, what are you going to do?" Xiang Ning asked eagerly, "You are still pregnant, how can the slave leave you outside?" ”
"Senior brother is having a banquet in Xijiang today, you don't have to worry about me, go quickly!" Ke Shiying said sharply.
"Yes." Xiangning didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and immediately ran out of the door.
Ke Shiying put away the letter as it was, put it back in the brocade box, and placed the brocade box on the dresser, and then lit the acupoint to provoke the recurrence of the old disease, and fainted in the side room.
Let's say that Lime said goodbye to Ke Shiying, and he felt uncomfortable, and his heart was faintly uneasy. She left the Prince's Mansion as fast as she could, and put herself in the bustling city of Licheng.
Lime knew that it was too eye-catching to go to King Xian's Mansion to find his senior brother, so he exchanged all the valuable items on his body for men's clothes and horses, and turned into a passing merchant, intending to use this disguise to avoid Hongxia Yike's eyes.
Licheng is the capital of Jinnan, prosperous and rich, lime in the downtown for a long time, after making sure that there is no tail, then walk towards the nearest city gate.
"What for?" The guard at the city gate stopped Lime and asked.
"Master Huijun, the little ones are passing by businessmen." Lime pressed the hat and said in a calm voice.
"Merchant?" The guards of the city looked the lime up and down several times, and asked, "It's rare to see such shabby merchants!" ”
"The military master smiled, the small one is a small business, and naturally it is not as good as the gentry." Lime took out all the remaining silver taels from his sleeve and stuffed them into the hands of the city defenders, "A little heart, I hope the military master will make it convenient." ”
"Although it is shabby, it has a good face, not like an evil person......" The defenders of the city shook the silver taels in their hands, and were about to let go, when a messenger suddenly rushed to the city, holding a token and shouting, "The prince has an order!" If there are spies in the city, the gates of the city will be closed immediately, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave! ”
"Go in, go in! The gates are closed! The city defenders immediately changed their faces, collected the silver taels, and pushed the lime into the city, but after a few pushes, they found that the lime did not move, and they were immediately annoyed, "What's the matter with you!" Do you know that after closing the city gate, can you afford to delay the major events of His Royal Highness the Prince? ”
"Get out of the way!" Lime slapped his palm on the soldier's shoulder, and was about to get on his horse and go out of the door, but was clamped on the right shoulder by a man.
"Where are you going in such a hurry?" With these words, the force that fell on his shoulders became heavier again.
The sound was very familiar, Lime gritted her teeth, released the reins with her left hand, put on the hand on her right shoulder, and clasped the man's middle finger with lightning speed, and at the same time turned her body back to the right, and slammed it against the direction of her arm.
Hongxia Yi Ke suddenly felt a sharp pain coming from the middle finger of his right hand, and before he could respond, his arm was already twisted into an arch shape with the strength of the lime, and his fingers were almost broken by the lime on his arm.
But he was also clever, seeing that his right hand was restrained, his left hand immediately turned into a fist and attacked Lime's abdomen, which flashed back slightly, and added another point of strength to his left hand.
Hongxia Yike's right arm was in even worse pain for a while, and his fist lost a little momentum and strength, and Lime took advantage of the situation to grab his left fist, buckle the tiger's mouth, and bent his left arm again.
At this time, the city gate had been closed, and the thousand-pound cast iron beams had been lowered.
The knee was suddenly slammed, Hongxia Yike was caught off guard, knelt heavily on the ground, and then there was a cold touch on his neck, Hongxia Yike frowned slightly, knowing that it was a sharp sword of lime against his neck, even if he was resentful in his heart, he still didn't dare to make a move.
"Open the gates." Lime said coldly.
Looking at these crossbowmen who surrounded her layer by layer, Lime sneered in her heart, the order to close the city and the crossbowmen came unexpectedly quickly, it seemed that they had been prepared.
"I'll say it one last time, open the gates!" Lime shouted, and the hand holding the crescent moon increased a little more force, and the blade instantly sank into the skin, stained with blood.
"Lime, put down your sword." With the sound of the voice, Xiu Yi dressed in a white shirt and slowly walked from among the crossbowmen. He approached step by step, calmly, and spoke in a gentle manner, as if it were the way things should have been.
His eyes swept over the sword in Lime's hand, and Xiu Yi's face changed slightly.
"Stop!" Lime shouted, "If you take another step forward, I will wipe his neck, and there will be no joke." ”
"Okay, I'm not going forward, just stand here, how about we have a good talk?" Xiu Yi stopped and said softly.
"What is there to talk about?" Lime sneered, "I came to you Jinnan, first, I didn't commit adultery, and second, I didn't threaten Sheji, why can't I go out of the city?" Let's be honest, how will you open the gates? ”
"You've only been here for a few days, why are you in a hurry?" Xiu Yi smiled warmly, "Let Yi Ke go first, let's find a place to sit down and talk." ”
"It seems that this matter has nothing to do with you." Lime felt cold in her heart, and suddenly understood that no matter what Hongxia Yike had plans for her, Xiu Yi would definitely be involved.
"What do you say? What is it that I can't do with it? Xiu Yi was slightly stunned, then smiled, and inadvertently took a step closer.
"Stop!" His sudden approach made Lime feel uneasy in her heart, and her attention was distracted from Hongxia Yike's body a lot.
Feeling that Lime's vigilance against him was lowered, Hongxia Yike quickly took out the silver needle prepared in advance from his sleeve and sandwiched it between his fingers and attacked Lime.
Lime noticed the abnormality, quickly dodged a step back, narrowly dodged a blow, and before Hongxia Yike could make the next move, Lime immediately raised his leg and hit Hongxia Yike's arm hard.
Hongxia Yi Ke obeyed the force to get rid of Lime's control, but the price was that the crescent sword blade left a deep wound on his neck, and after regaining his freedom, all the shame he received exploded in an instant, and he vowed to let her suffer the most painful punishment!
The wound on his neck was dripping with blood, but Hongxia Yike didn't care about it at the moment, he hid the poisonous needle between his fingers, and attacked the lime again.
Hongxia Yike was furious, the attack was fierce, and Lime retreated again and again, not facing the enemy head-on, avoiding his edge, and letting him recruit to go away, which angered him a little.
Hongxia Yike's anger overwhelmed him, he only knew how to attack, not the slightest defense, although Lime dodged the moves, but he saw all his flaws in his eyes and was familiar with it.
Hongxia Yike's offensive is still fierce, but the speed of lime's dodge is getting faster and faster, and his moves are becoming more and more weird. Retreat is advance, lime quickly dodged a move, broke through Hongxia Yike's flaws, and went straight to the point.
At the moment when Lime's sword blade was about to pierce Hongxia Yike's body, Xiu Yi quickly moved forward, stepped forward and grabbed Lime's wrist holding the sword, and changed the direction of the sword blade.
Lime turned his left hand into a palm and struck Xiu Yi on the chest, so as to break free from his restraints, but before he could stabilize his body, he felt a tingling in his waist.
It was Hongxia Yike, who took advantage of the fact that the lime was shackled by the cultivator and could not get out, and shot the poisonous needle hidden between his fingers into the waist of the lime.
After a few moments, a warm rush rushed through her body, and then the lime was so soft that she couldn't even hold her sword.
For a while, it was as if there were thousands of poisonous insects crawling all over the body from the waist, constantly wriggling on the body, sucking flesh and blood.
Lime staggered a few steps, her legs could no longer support her body, and she collapsed to the ground.
The lime immediately mobilized its internal force to detoxify, but found that the poison was so strong that forced detoxification would only make the poison needle pierce deeper. As the effect of the medicine grew, Lime's body became weaker and weaker, unable to move at all, and unable to even pick up the strength to speak.
"Who let you use the magic needle!" Xiu Yi was furious, pushed Hongxia Yike away, and hurriedly stepped forward to check on the lime's situation.
He squatted down, his eyes full of anxiety, and his hands hung for a long time and he didn't dare to approach Lime's body.
Bursts of sharp pain came from her lower back, gradually surging through her body like ripples of water, and Lime opened her eyes, and tears gradually filled up in her eyes.
At this moment, even her breathing would cause a sharp pain.
