Hypocrisy and Grievances (5)
Momozhi didn't care about the enemies who killed her, and when she saw Lu Ci entering, she ordered two palace people to guard the prison door, and she also broke in. His eyes hurriedly swept over, and soon he found the longing figure in the corner.
Xu Qihua's body has lost a lot of weight, his face is not bloody, and his thin lips are purple. He was sluggish, leaning weakly against the wooden pillar near the rock wall, and he had lost much life. Taozhi's heart tightened, and he hurried over: "Cousin! ”
What a familiar voice, Xu Qihua raised his eyes and watched this bloodstained woman appear in front of him, a strange light crossed his eyes, it was a flash of tenderness, and his heart also hurt suddenly, followed by a thick sourness.
"Cousin, this is a trap, you shouldn't have come." Xu Qihua sat up with his body propped up, his words were weak, his eyes were mixed with unbearable and painful, he didn't know whether the blood stains on this body were peach branches or enemies, maybe they all had them. He only hated himself for being too useless, not only could he not protect the woman he liked, but he wanted the other party to sacrifice his life and death to rescue him.
At this moment, Taozhi completely put aside the usual palace master demeanor, squatted down and looked at the person in front of him who had not seen him for a long time, he was a little excited, tears overflowed in his eyes under the mixture of joy and sorrow, and he shook his head and said: "Even if it is a trap, it is death, and I will die with you." ”
"Silly girl, why am I worth it?" Xu Qihua sighed helplessly, raised a hand and gently wiped away the blood stains mixed with sweat on Taozhi's forehead, and the gentleness that was no longer deliberately restrained in his eyes was flowing.
The situation was urgent, and it was naturally not advisable to stay here for a long time, and their people had already discovered that the cave was actually a secret passage dug by hand, and the secret passage should lead to the top of the sinkhole, according to their speculation. You know, this sinkhole is easy to come down, but difficult to go up, if there is no way to go up, those enemies themselves will be trapped here. Of course, for masters, it is possible to go up directly with a lot of effort, but for ordinary people, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
Now is not the time to catch up, Taozhi helped Xu Qihua to stand up: "Go, go out first." ”
On the other hand, Lu Ci also successfully found Lu Bo and several luthiers who were arrested together. One after another, some of the men who came in to help them lift up the weak people on the ground. A few people in front of them opened the way, and the group of people came out of this dark and damp cage and walked straight towards the cave with messy steps.
Xun Yang, who was fighting with the Yuanqu Dao Chief, saw this scene, his expression changed, and he hurriedly gave an order to the subordinates who were still fighting with people, and those people were already very little, and when they heard the order, they immediately changed their goals and killed Taozhi and them together. All this happened too quickly, and Taozhi and their people were a little unable to stop them, just because their people were also suffering heavy casualties, and the people of the White Dusk Villa and the Absolute Dust Palace were still fighting among themselves, and they couldn't notice Lu Ci's critical form here.
The air was filled with a thick smell of blood, and in the chaos, a scimitar slashed down from Xu Qihua's back.
A trace of cold wind hit his back, Peach Branch turned his head to look, his eyes opened suddenly, and his heart rose to his throat, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he pushed away the person next to him who hadn't reacted yet. But she herself couldn't dodge, and the knife fell on her back, and the red blood sprayed out instantly, and finally one staggered and collapsed to the ground.
At the same time, the subordinate next to Momozhi who was covering her quickly swung a sword and slashed at the culprit who was sneaking up on the back, accompanied by a scream, blood splattered, and the man's body rolled over, falling on the two corpses and quickly losing his breath.
Xu Qihua, who was vain in his steps, was pushed directly and almost fell into a pool of blood, but fortunately he was helped by the people of the Lu Mansion in time. After reacting, he turned his head to look, only to feel a buzzing in his head, and he couldn't speak for a long time, and finally pounced on the peach branch that fell to the ground regardless of the sword light and sword shadow.
"Cousin, wake up, you can't be fine! Cousin ......" Xu Qihua half-knelt on the ground, trembling his hands and took the peach branch that had fainted in pain into his arms, his eyes were instantly bloodshot, his voice was heartbreaking, and his mind was completely confused.
Seeing this, several of his men immediately rushed over and surrounded the two men on the ground in the middle, forcing the enemy to not get closer. Shi Man frowned in a hurry, squatted in front of Xu Qihua and quickly took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, and stuffed a pill into Taozhi's mouth: "Palace Master, you'll be fine." This is a pill given by Miss Ling before coming down, swallow it quickly. ”
This pill was originally prepared for Xu Qihua. Ling Xiao knew that Xu Qihua was weak and suffering from heart disease, and most of his life was in danger in this condition, so he secretly handed over the pill that Yanling Chu gave her to Shi Man.
Listening to Yuanqu Daoist Chief, although this medicine can't bring the dead back to life, it can save a life in an emergency, so Ling Xiao hopes that this medicine can save Xu Qihua's life in case of emergency, which can be regarded as repaying Taozhi for helping her several times and saving her life.
However, no one thought that this medicine would eventually be used on Momozhi. And Xu Qihua has gone through the torment of these days, although his body is weak and he doesn't look at it, but his life is not endangered.
Taozhi was held in Xu Qihua's arms and shook and called, but regained consciousness, swallowed the pill in his mouth and opened his eyes with difficulty, Xu Qihua's anxious and painful look fell into her eyes, a warm current crossed her heart, and she endured the pain from her back and smiled lightly at the pale face: "Cousin, I know that you care about me." ”
"You're finally awake. Why do you have to care about your life? You're too badly injured, don't speak. It's going to be fine. Xu Qihua saw that the person in his arms finally reacted, and he was so excited that he was a little incoherent, and he was ambiguous about the meaning he was about to express.
Because he was born with heart disease, Xu Qihua has been suppressing his feelings for Taozhi over the years, no matter what the other party does, he always has a faint alienation, even indifference. But at this time, seeing that the life of the person he liked was dying, he could no longer restrain the true emotions in his heart, and poured out all the feelings that had been hidden in his heart over the years, hugging the body of the peach branch tightly, and the bright red blood stains stained him all over his body.
Taozhi raised her hand with difficulty, as if she wanted to caress Xu Qihua's bloodless face, but after several attempts, she was unsuccessful. She nodded slightly, her weak words were mixed with firmness, and she replied to Xu Qihua's words seriously: "I care about this." I rejoice when I know that you care about me and have me in your heart. Even if you die, you have no regrets. ”
"It's all this time, and I'm still talking about this. Trust me, you'll be fine. I have yours in my heart, and I always have been. Zhi'er, hold on. If something goes wrong with you, what will happen to you and me in the future? Xu Qihua's green tendons on his forehead were exposed, his expression was painful, his heart was filled with guilt and worry, and he took the initiative to hold the raised hand of Taozhi.
On the periphery of the two of them, the enemy had almost been killed at this moment, although their people also suffered heavy casualties, but there were many people who survived, except for the area where the White Dusk Villa and the Absolute Dust Palace fought, the sound of war in other places had gradually subsided. The corpses crisscrossed the grass and pooled with blood.
Shi Man looked at the two people in front of him who were extremely weak, and his heart was full of mixed feelings, both joy and worry, and finally reminded Xu Qihua helplessly: "Childe, if you work so hard, you will touch the wound on the back of the palace master." Let's go out first. ”
"It's me who is not good." Xu Qihua reacted, his face showed embarrassment, and then he loosened Taozhi's body a little.
The enemy gradually decreased, Lu Ci and their hearts relaxed a little, Taozhi and Xu Qihua were each supported to stand up, and the group hurried to Fangxi in the cave again. At this time, the two sides of the White Dusk Villa and the Absolute Dust Palace were still engaged in a fierce battle, but Lu Ci and the others with the rescued people had no time to take care of these two sects, so they had to leave first. Moreover, this is a grievance between the two sects, which should be resolved by themselves, and no one else should interfere.
Xun Yang resisted the moves of the Yuanqu Dao Chief, and hurriedly glanced at the cell out of the corner of his eye, a touch of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, as if he was in his chest, and said coldly: "Want to leave?" It's not that easy. ”
Xun Yang's cronies were attacked by the two at this time, and when they heard the master's words, they instantly understood, and used their little finger as a whistle to blow into the sky above the woods.
Lu Ci and their steps paused, and their hearts tightened for a while, and they were very worried that another batch of killers would come out, if that was the case, then they would all be finished. However, they were on high alert for a moment, looking around, but there was no movement, which could not help but make them more and more confused, wondering what tricks the enemy was going to play.
On the other side, the combat power of the White Twilight Villa and the Absolute Dust Palace can be said to be equal, and they have fought each other for so long, and no one has bargained. However, the people of Bai Dusk Villa didn't seem to be too worried, seeing that Xun Yang had a new move, the corners of Bai Yuting's mouth hooked a treacherous arc, and a sword fiercely picked at Zheng Juefei's neck.
Zheng Juefei leaned back quickly, narrowly avoiding the sword, and a cold snort from Bai Yushuang came from his ears: "I advise you to stop struggling senselessly, a good show is about to be staged, you see." ”
Due to the siege of the two brothers and sisters, Zheng Juefei had been beaten to a disheveled head at the moment, his clothes were ragged, and his body was covered with bloodstains, and his whole person was embarrassed. The back of his sword-holding hand was full of raised green tendons, his eyes were bloodshot, and he wanted to grit his teeth, and said, "White Twilight Villa, you shameless people, I will repay today's hatred even more!" ”
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Palace Master Zheng." Bai Yuting smiled easily, and then a ruthless color crossed his face, and his eyes widened fiercely, "You don't have him anymore!" Today is the funeral day of your Absolute Dust Palace! ”
