Chapter 21: Falling off the Cliff
Before he had time to think about it for a moment, the snakes that crawled over turned back again, all with their mouths wide open, baring their fangs towards Qi Jiuyue, and in desperation, he had no choice but to grab Xiao Wanyan's arm and take it into his arms, stepping on the window and turning over the beams of the house: "Sister-in-law, this time I can be regarded as a lifesaver for you." β
Looking at the group of snakes gathered below, Xiao Wanyan's heart trembled, and she said indiscriminately: "Even if you have a life-saving grace for me, I will definitely repay you in the future, hurry up." β
This house has not been repaired all the year round, the tiles have been dilapidated, and they will be broken into several pieces at the slightest touch, and the two of them came out of the roof and landed in the courtyard.
Xiao Wanyan handed over the venue to Qi Jiuyue, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's up to you to fight quickly." β
I have to say that Qi Jiuyue's kung fu is on par with Chu Huairan, and before he can use all his strength to beat people all over the ground to find teeth, seeing Xu Yan's people coming one after another, Xiao Wanyan hurriedly pulled Qi Jiuyue to escape from this place of right and wrong: "There are many of them, and heroes don't suffer losses in front of them." β
They ran ahead, and Xu Yan's men quickly caught up.
It's over, it's over, Xu Yan is bent on killing me, and if I am arrested again, I will definitely not survive. Xiao Wanyan secretly thought, at first she thought that Chu Huairan was just giving Wang Churan a warning, but she didn't expect him to take Wang Churan's life, but now it's good, the uncle wants to avenge his nephew, and he blames Chu Huairan for being a broom star, and the name of his wife is really worthy of his name, no wonder the original owner hates him and even wants him to die.
There was a cliff in front of them, and there was no way, Xiao Wanyan and Qi Jiuyue stopped, looked at Xu Yan who was chasing behind them, and took two small steps back.
Xu Yan sneered twice: "The prime minister has done the worst thing, and even God won't help you." β
He took two steps forward, and Xiao Wanyan immediately said: "Wait, Xu Tingshi, you arrested us so blatantly, aren't you afraid that the prime minister will find out and retaliate against you?" Xiangye's methods are known to everyone, and revenge will be avenged, so it is better for us to negotiate well and leave a way back for each other. β
"I'm a member of the fourth rank of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, even if Chu Huairan is lawless, he won't dare to hurt me, not to mention that I will execute you silently, he has no evidence, what can he do to me?" Xu Yan spoke with confidence, pinched Chu Huairan would not be surprised by how a woman treated him, beckoned, and several people behind him were full of bows and arrows, and said: "Since you are unwilling to wait for death, then I have to send you to the Western Heaven here." β
Hearing this, the archers aimed at Xiao Wanyan.
"How do you explain the matter of King Qing to the emperor." Just when she was anxious to delay time, Chu Huairan rushed over with Han Yi, looking at Xiao Wanyan with a headache, seeing that Xu Yan's archer had already drawn the bow and shot long arrows, he hurriedly threw out a stone to miss the arrow, gritted his teeth and said: "Xu Yan, you are so majestic, my woman is also killed if you say you want to kill?" β
Xiao Wanyan was overjoyed to see the person coming, it seemed that Chu Huairan was still a little useful at the critical moment, and the look on her face relaxed slightly.
Xu Yan saw that the eyes of the person who came were dark, and he had no scruples about tearing his face, so he snorted coldly: "I should say this, should the prime minister give my nephew an explanation?" β
The archers faced the guards brought by Chu Huairan, swords and swords, stalemate, Chu Huairan did not give Xu Yan any face, and said bluntly: "Your nephew is rude to my wife, it is not a pity to die, I just let him roll down the stairs and have mercy, I didn't expect that I let the tiger return to the mountain." β
"You ......" Xu Yan's forehead jumped with green tendons: "The dignified prime minister dares not to do it, my nephew died in your hands, today I want this woman to pay for his life, no one can stop him." β
As soon as the words fell, the archer drew his bow again and fired arrows at Xiao Wanyan, Chu Huairan drew out his long sword and walked straight towards Xu Yan, the long sword was across his neck: "Your life is exchanged for my wife's life, otherwise I will kill you now." β
Xu Yan was almost touching a stone with an egg, he felt a pain in his neck, his face was panicked, he waved his hands, and ordered: "Stop, stop it all." β
Chu Huairan threw the person to Han Yi and walked towards Xiao Wanyan, her eyes paused on Qi Jiuyue, and immediately took Xiao Wanyan's hand, feeling Chu Huairan's face that was wrong, she immediately explained: "I am innocent." β
Chu Huairan said in a deep voice: "Shut up." β
Xiao Wanyan pursed her lips and didn't say anything more.
Because of the middle of the night, there was silence around, and even the sound of the wind blowing the leaves could be heard clearly, and suddenly a man in black rushed towards Chu Huairan.
Chu Huairan took Xiao Wanyan behind him and directly knocked the person to the ground.
Just as Xiao Wanyan took two steps back, she felt that something hit her knees, her legs were weak, she staggered a step, and Chu Huairan took a step to the side, and a long arrow broke through the air and pierced into her chest.
There was a cliff behind her, and she let go and fell backwards.
Chu Huairan's eyes widened, he had lost his previous indifference, he panicked at this moment, and walked quickly to the edge of the cliff, but he couldn't hold Xiao Wanyan's hand, he could only watch her fall off the cliff, and he smashed his fist the stone.
He had a pair of angry eyes, full of anger, as if he had arrived in the underworld, which made people look creepy, he picked up the long sword and walked towards Xu Yan.
Xu Yan trembled with fright, and couldn't stop shouting: "Chu Huairan, you dare, I am an official of the imperial court, you ......"
The knife fell in his hand, Chu Huairan's eyes were unwavering, and he casually threw the bloodstained long sword on the ground, as if nothing had happened, and instructed Han Yi: "Immediately take someone to the bottom of the cliff to find it, to see people alive, to see corpses when dead." β
"Yes."
The captured people looked at each other, how could they have a good end if the master was dead, and sure enough, Chu Huairan came coldly: "Bring me all the people from the Assassin Mansion back and put them in the dungeon, if the lady doesn't find it for a day, she will kill one, and if she doesn't find it for two days, she will kill a pair, if it is safe and sound, otherwise they will all be buried with me." β
Qi Jiuyue couldn't believe his eyes, this was still his cousin who had no desires in the past, and now he wanted to destroy the family of the assassin for a woman, didn't he want to go against the emperor head-on?
"Cousin,......" He immediately walked to Chu Huairan's side, and wanted to persuade him, but he was frightened by Chu Huairan's cannibalistic eyes and closed his mouth.
Chu Huairan's eyes were like torches, staring at Qi Jiuyue, and he said gloomily: "I can't afford this cousin of His Royal Highness King Qing, there is a difference between monarchs and ministers, and it is better to follow the rules in the future." β
He doesn't do anything but can't be manipulated, the emperor and King Yi have already stretched out their hands to the Prime Minister's Mansion, it seems that the emperor is ready to kill chickens and monkeys and tear his face with him.
Chu Huairan turned around and got on the horse, and his face returned to his previous calmness: "It's late at night, arrange a carriage for His Royal Highness King Qing and send him back to the palace." β
A strange atmosphere flowed between Chu Huairan and Qi Jiuyue, and Qi Jiuyue said slowly: "Thank you." β
At an angle that Chu Huairan couldn't see, Qi Jiuyue held a few small stones tightly in his hands, his face was calm, and he threw them in place casually.
As he expected, Chu Huairan had long been suspicious of him, but he didn't expect that the fuse this time turned out to be the woman Chu Huairan hated the most.
However, fortunately, he made a strong move early, and no one could become Chu Huairan's weakness in the future.
Qi Jiuyue said in his heart: Xiao Wanyan can only blame you for appearing at the wrong time, which hooked my cousin's heart and blocked the way ahead.
Under the high walls of the Imperial City of Daliang, rivers of blood flowed and bones were everywhere.
In the imperial city, the ground was full of corpses, the soldiers of the Great Liang and the soldiers of the enemy country were mixed together, the empress was wearing armor, and she was covered in blood to face the remaining soldiers, and the commander was full of sadness, and handed a child to the empress in his arms.
The banner of the beam fluttered in the wind, and the six-year-old Feng Yiyi followed the mother queen with blood stains on her face, and the queen reported the child to Feng Yiyi with a loving face: "Yiyi, do you like this sister that the mother brought you." β
Feng Yiyi grinned innocently: "I like it." β
"The army heard that this woman is my second daughter, named Feng Ruyi, and from now on, she will be crowned the princess, give a mansion, and celebrate with the whole country." The Empress was majestic, and her words echoed in the air.
The next moment, the picture changed, the surroundings were full of darkness, and Feng Ruyi, who was covered in blood, pinched Feng Yiyi's neck with both hands, stared at her eyes, and was full of hatred: "Why am I not as good as you, why do you have to snatch what I like, Feng Yiyi, I hate you, I want you to die." β
She struggled in pain, and another voice sounded in her ears: "Yiyi, you disappointed me too much, it was you who hurt Daliang, it was you who hurt my sister." β
"Mother, Mother, it's not me, I don't." She stretched out her hand to hold on first.
Suddenly, blood splashed in front of her eyes, Feng Ruyi stabbed a knife into the empress's chest, and laughed heartbrokenly: "You all deserve to die, I am the emperor, I am the ruler of the world." β
snuggled up to Feng Ruyi's side: "Feng Yiyi, you deserve nothing, you killed the empress, it was you who ......"
It's you......
It's you......
It's you......
Chaotic sounds surrounded his ears, and at this moment, a thunderbolt flashed in the air.
Xiao Wanyan's exclamation came from the room: "It's not meβ"
Xiao Wanyan sat up from the bed suddenly, she was breathing rapidly, her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, thinking back to the dream just now, Xiao Wanyan couldn't settle down for a long time.
While wiping the beads of sweat on her forehead, she looked at the unfamiliar environment around her, looked at the bandage on her chest, felt the pain in her chest, and said silently: "I'm still alive." β
"Princess, what's wrong with you?" Before Xiao Wanyan's words fell, Qu Xiaoran walked in and asked worriedly, "Princess, where are you uncomfortable?" β
Looking at the familiar face, Xiao Wanyan was stunned and looked at him for a while: "Why are you here?" Didn't I fall off a cliff after being hit by an arrow? β
Qu Xiaoran told her the ins and outs of the future, it turned out that he had already noticed that something was wrong, and secretly followed them all the way, and it happened that there was a cave on the edge of the cliff, and when Xiao Wanyan fell, he rescued her in time.
"I said, if I fell, I would have been crushed a long time ago, how could it be just a bruise." Xiao Wanyan leaned on the pillow and asked again, "How many days have I been in a coma?" β
Qu Xiaoran handed over the dark decoction for a night, and responded: "It's been three days, and the Prime Minister's Mansion has been in chaos in the past few days that you have been in a coma, the princess. β
