Chapter 18: Chasing the Wind and Shadows
"Kill!" Under the dim sky, Li Qing used his last strength and rushed forward again. Out of fear, the bandits didn't dare to attack easily, so they gathered together to form a defensive formation, thinking that as soon as Li Qing rushed over, they would shoot together to solve this difficult opponent.
As he got closer and closer to the bandits, Li Qing's breathing became heavier and heavier, his body on the horse kept shaking, and his vision gradually became blurred. He shook his head violently, relying only on his tenacious willpower, and raised his last breath, "Come on! Bastards! β
"Doesn't this kid want to live?! Why did you suddenly rush into the encirclement of bandits? Miao Miao thought that Li Qing's tug-of-war tactics just now were very effective, according to her observation, Li Qing's strength was higher than that of these bandits, as long as Li Qing persisted in eliminating this gang of bandits, it was only a matter of time, she didn't understand why Li Qing suddenly changed his style of play and took the initiative to break into the enemy's encirclement.
"My lord, according to the villain, this new slave you bought is probably no longer able to support it because of his serious injuries and excessive fatigue. Now he is only at the end of the crossbow, making his last death throes. Luo Lan, who was beside him, calmly looked at Li Qing, who was about to die, and expressed his views to Lord Miao Miao.
"Xiaolan, let's compare the archery technique, shall we?" Hearing Roland say this, Miao Miao suddenly turned sideways, and Roland smiled.
"Sir, are you trying to save him?" Roland asked.
"100,000 gold coins! You can't just leave it in the water. Miao Miao found a very reluctant reason to shout loudly. In fact, how could she care about this little money.
"Yes, my lord, as long as you give the order, I promise that he will not die today." Roland saluted Miao Miao.
"Poof!"
"Tubu!"
Li Qing rushed into the bandits' defense line with his war horse, facing several spears that stabbed at the same time, and in a hurry, he jumped up from his horse to avoid the bandits' attacks. I saw Li Qing in mid-air stretching out his riding spear and sweeping forward, accurately cutting the throats of the two bandits one by one. The two bandits roared, clutched their throats and fell off their horses. At the same time, his own war horse was stabbed several times by the bandits. Crimson blood spurted out of the warhorse's abdomen, and under the severe pain, Li Qing's warhorse suddenly neighed, and instinctively sent out a huge mad force, hitting several oncoming enemies.
The formation of several bandits was smashed all at once, but several people were not frightened and overwhelmed. They quickly made adjustments, and the enemy who fell off the horse quickly took out the saber on his waist, not giving Li Qing a chance to breathe, and surrounded Li Qing again.
Falling heavily from mid-air to the ground, Li Qing only felt that the bones in his body were about to fall apart. Enduring the severe pain all over his body, he used all his strength to hold the spear and barely stand up from the ground. However, at this time, he was really at the end of his crossbow as Roland said. His vision became more blurred, and in the face of the enemy slowly surrounding, he staggered with his riding spear in his hand, and after making a few non-threatening attacks, he no longer had the slightest strength in his hands.
"Huh..." Li Qing knew that he was powerless to return to the sky, and no matter how much he struggled, there was no point in it. After his tense body completely relaxed, his face suddenly became very haggard.
"Huh." He sneered, gave up his senseless resistance, and threw the riding spear he was holding to the ground. He took a deep breath, silently closed his eyes, and quietly waited for death to come.
"Xiaoyu, I'm sorry, I failed to live up to your expectations of me, I'm really useless, I can't stand the days without you so soon. Seriously, without you, I am really tired, I want to sleep without thinking about anything, every encounter with you in my dreams makes me obsessed, I really want to live in dreams forever and never wake up again. Xiaoyu, I'm here to accompany you, even if you don't like me anymore, or even hate me, it doesn't matter, as long as I can see you again, it's enough... The enemy approached little by little, but Li Qing didn't care. A smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and tears began to slide out of the corners of his eyes. As he approached death, he used a voice that only he could hear, to the woman who was watching him from heaven, and poured out the pain hidden in his heart for the last time.
In his opinion, in the world, the farthest distance is the separation of yin and yang, and the people you love are forever sealed in your mind, only in dreams and memories, chasing the wind and shadows...
As the sun set and night fell, Miao Miao's team chose to camp for the night in the Lion Valley near Changhe Town.
"Ahem! Cough! It seemed that he had a long, long dream, and after coughing violently twice, Li Qing woke up from a coma. As soon as he woke up, Li Qing only felt dizzy, he held his forehead and reluctantly sat up, slowly looked around, and his blurred vision gradually became clear.
"Why am I here?" After seeing the surrounding environment clearly, Li Qing was surprised to find that he was lying in the new owner's carriage at this time.
"Are you awake?!" As soon as she heard Li Qing's cough, Miao Miao hurriedly came in, with a concerned look on her face, presumably she had been waiting outside the carriage for a long time.
"Miaomiao-sama." Li Qing hurriedly got up, "Thank you for saving me." Li Qing didn't have to think about it to know that it was his new master who saved him.
Miao Miao smiled, tapped Li Qing's forehead and said, "It seems that you are not stupid, you know who saved you." β
"Well, my lord, I'll go out." Li Qing is very self-aware, the hostess's carriage is not a place where a subordinate like him can stay. However, as soon as he got up with great strength, he felt a sharp pain all over his body, and he fell down again in pain.
"Oh, don't be reckless, you are so seriously injured, lie here with peace of mind." Miao Miao hurriedly helped Li Qing, who had fallen, to lie down, and said with a smile: "Although, I am very reluctant to let you, a stinky man with a foul smell, lie in my carriage, but I can't throw you outside in this wilderness." Don't worry, I'll take care of you, the wounded, from now on. You are my man, and I will be responsible for you to the end. β
What Miao Miao said made Li Qing always feel very awkward when she heard it, as if she had really become a junior who had that kind of improper relationship with her.
"Ahem, thank you, Miaomiao-sama." After listening to her words, Li Qing coughed in astonishment for a while before recovering her breath, and sat up hurriedly to express her gratitude to Miao Miao.
"Hehe, you don't have to thank me, it's all your heroic performance in exchange! Seriously, I was just thinking about testing you with those bandits on a whim, but I swear! I really didn't know you were hurt, and you were hurt a lot. If I had known, I would never have done thatγγγ Little San, I'm sorry, you hurt you like this, you won't hate me, right? Seeing Li Qing's injury like this, Miao Miao also felt a little embarrassed, and said to Li Qing very embarrassed.
