Mai Jiu opened her eyes with difficulty and looked at Sang Huai'an, for some reason she felt that this glance was probably the last one, when she thought of this, her eyes were filled with tears, and they were about to burst out at any time.

The corners of the black-clothed man's mouth raised a smile under the mask, and he looked at the prince who usually looked calm and high, and now he frowned, looking very uneasy.

Thinking that the battle between the two could be completely concluded today, the strength in the hands of the man in black unconsciously increased a little.

The force on her neck directly caused tears to gush out of Mai Jiu's eyes, her mouth opened and closed to make a sound, and her hand grabbed the wrist of the man in black.

Sang Huai'an looked nervous, he didn't dare to come out again in the face of this situation, so he stared at the man in black, he was afraid that if he didn't pay attention to the ruthless person in front of him, he would directly break the neck in his hand.

I only heard the man in black's voice be heavy and with a hint of laziness and casualness: "Lord Wang... It's you who live..."

The man paused, and after glancing at Mai Jiu in his hand defiantly, he raised his eyebrows lightly and continued: "Or... What about her death? ”

The man in black increased his strength again, Mai Jiu's face instantly turned from red to pale, she dragged the wrist of the man in black with both hands weakly, her mouth opened so much that she couldn't make any sound, and crystal tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes like pearls with broken threads.

Sang Huai'an's hand holding the sword trembled, his heart was like the ice of a winter night, making his whole body begin to chill; There was an uncontrollable anger in his eyes, and his teeth were gritted and "gurgling".

"Reinforcements have arrived, and I'm afraid you won't be able to escape today, so it's better to capture them quickly." Sang Huai'an's words seemed to be squeezed out between his teeth, gritting his teeth.

"Oh? Is it? The man in black looked at Mai Jiu in his hand with interest, as if he was looking at a plaything.

Mai Jiu began to have difficulty breathing, her chest seemed to be blocked by something, very suffocated, very uncomfortable, she surged an urge to kill, but slowly, slowly, the surging killing intent was gone, only gradually weakened body.

She seemed to understand, compared to the neck pinch just now, I am afraid that this time I really want her life.

Her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and she had the urge to fall asleep, she opened her eyes slightly and looked at Sang Huai'an's position, but her eyes were already blurred by tears and she couldn't see anything clearly.

Hearing only a "bang", the sword in Sang Huai'an's hand slammed into the ground.

The two secret guards heard the movement, looked with the rest of their eyes, and saw that the prince's hand was empty, and he slowly walked towards the man in black.

The secret guards exclaimed in surprise and shouted no, and then looked at the princess's miserable white cheeks, they immediately understood everything, but they didn't want to watch the prince go to death like this, and wanted to escape, but the powerful black-clothed people just didn't let go, entangled the two of them to death, and had nowhere to go.

Having lost their dominant position, they only asked for reinforcements to find the four of them in the depths of the forest earlier.

Sang Huai'an walked slowly towards the man in black, and said calmly: "You let her go, and this king is at your disposal." ”

Gently dropping such a sentence, Sang Huai'an secretly pushed the plum blossom sleeve arrow in his sleeve, and the sleeve arrow slid down and fell into Sang Huai'an's palm accurately, with fast movements and sensitive movements, which were not noticed by the proud man in black.

The man in black was slightly relieved when he heard this, deep down in his heart he didn't want to kill this woman, what he wanted was to kill the prince and take away his most beloved woman, so let the prince ... Die in remorse.

The man in black was still delusional, only to hear Mai Jiu vigorously say two words with non-standard pronunciation in his throat: "Mix... Eggs..."

"What?" The man in black's attention was drawn to Mai Jiu.

Mai Jiu wanted to continue cursing, but his throat could only make a "bang" sound.

Sang Huai'an quickly raised his arm, flicked the butterfly piece on the sleeve arrow and opened the opening, only to hear a "boom", a stinging needle was launched and went straight to the vital point of the man in black.

The man in black heard the sound, and when the needle was still a few centimeters away from his head, he let go of Mai Jiu in his hand and turned to the left, turning sideways to dodge

Mai Jiu's legs were weak and she was pushed by the man in black, so she fell straight and backwards, falling heavily on the mud.

She opened her hazy eyes slightly and looked at the night sky above the forest, the rain had stopped at this time, and she saw the moon blocked by dark clouds, and a flash... A flash... A flash... Star.

She slowly closed her eyes...

Seeing that the man in black let go of Mai Jiu, Sang Huai'an continued to fire the sleeve arrow hidden in his sleeve, and with two more "sighs", two stabbing needles were launched.

The man in black was messed up, how could he know that the person in front of him was hiding such a trick, generally this kind of secret weapon is smeared with poison, and he has been in the rivers and lakes for so many years, he already knows that as long as the silver needle touches the skin slightly, he will be poisoned and die.

The man in black didn't think much about it, and dodged backwards.

Sang Huai'an turned over and protected Mai Jiu in front of him to ensure that the person behind him would not fall into the hands of the enemy again and become a handle.

Seeing that he was about to succeed, how could the man in black give up, not admitting defeat, he quickly took out a dart from his waist and threw it at Sang Huai'an's chest.

Sang Huai'an also quickly raised his arm, and the Hidden Arrow was fired at the same time.

At this time, the air was almost frozen, and the two highly poisonous hidden weapons flew forward one after another, maybe touching, maybe staggering and continuing towards the target.

The two hidden weapons still touched each other and then bounced off each other and fell to the ground, the man in black also took out a dart from his waist again, and Sang Huaian also raised his arm slightly.

I felt the ground tremble slightly, the small puddles at my feet rippled, and the rain on the leaves dripped down one after another.

Looks like... Reinforcements arrived.

The man in black's hand let go of the dart, and the dart fell to the ground, watching the man's movements, Sang Huai'an thought that the man had surrendered, so he didn't continue to raise his arm.

I saw that the man in black quickly took out a small ball from his waist and threw it to the ground.

Sensing that something was wrong, Sang Huai'an hurriedly squatted down to protect Mai Jiu tightly, and with the explosion sound of the ball touching the ground, he raised his arm and launched the plum blossom sleeve arrow, with only three stinging needles left.

I saw layers of white smoke burning in front of Sang Huai'an, as if he couldn't see anything in the fog, and the black shadow disappeared in front of him.

The man in black who was fighting with the dark guard also took out the small ball on his waist and threw it to the ground, and four or five small balls exploded, and white smoke rose with the heavy smell of gunpowder.

When the white smoke cleared, he saw that all the people in black had disappeared without a trace, Sang Huai'an looked at the position of the man in black just now, and saw three thorn needles inserted into the root of the tree, and a mask that looked like a wolf and an eagle...

Mai Jiu woke up on the afternoon of the second day, and when she opened her eyes slightly, she saw Zhihua kneeling on the edge of the bed and carefully twisting the hot hand towel, and her hands were already red.

Zhihua turned around and saw the master with her eyes wide open, she took off her hand and dropped the hot hand towel on her thigh, and then her nose was sour and cried: "Master, you finally woke up, scared the slave to death." ”

The water on the hand towel slowly penetrated the clothes and approached the skin, and Zhihua felt a hot sensation on her legs, so she quickly picked up the hand towel and threw it into the basin.

Shiba Painting...

Mai Jiu opened his mouth, only feeling a pain in his neck, but he didn't make any sound.

Seeing that his master had his mouth open and his face full of doubts, Zhi Hua shook his head and quickly wrung out the hand towel in the wooden basin and hurriedly applied it to Mai Jiu's neck.

I felt a burst of heat in my neck, and the pain in my neck itself made Mai Jiu feel very uncomfortable, she frowned deeply and opened her mouth again, but she still couldn't make any sound.

Zhihua wiped her tears from her cuffs and hurriedly explained: "The imperial doctor said that you may cause strains, neck pain and difficulty swallowing after being vigorously choked your neck, and said that you should ask the slave to give you a warm compress every six hours. Probably... I can't speak..."Speaking of this, Shiba's tears flowed down his cheeks and fell onto his clothes.

Mai Jiu's eyes rolled to look at the room, she was a little uneasy, and the Zhihua next to her was crying and sobbing, and her mouth was babbling: "Master... It's okay, you.. It's okay. ”

Mai Jiu touched the side face of Zhihua as if comfortingly, and then moved down and patted her shoulder twice, she subconsciously opened her mouth again, wanting to ask the prince, but... I still couldn't make a sound.

Because Mai Jiu slightly turned sideways and the handkerchief on his neck slipped down, this is why Zhihua stopped crying and quickly picked up the handkerchief and put it in the wooden basin, she didn't dare to have a trace of slackness, she was afraid that her negligence might lead to the master... No more speech.

The tears that flowed from the corners of her eyes were still hanging on her jawline, and she poked the handkerchief into the tub with her fingers to soak it, then raised her arm to wipe the tears away with her sleeve.

Mai Jiu looked in the direction of the door, she wanted to know where Sang Huai'an was at this time, whether he was safe, and whether he was injured.

She fell unconscious when the big hand on her neck let her go that day, and she didn't know anything about the rest of the day.

As long as he swallowed his saliva, the pain in his neck would hit again, and at this time, Zhihua twisted the hand towel and gently placed it on Mai Jiu's neck, and the warm hand towel relieved the slightest pain.

Mai Jiu looked at Zhihua, and Zhihua's eyelashes became wet from the crying just now.

"Master, the imperial doctor prescribed a prescription for you to invigorate blood and remove blood stasis, and the prince saw that the slaves and maids who went to boil the medicine had not brought the medicine for a long time, so he went to the side courtyard, and he will probably come back soon."

Hearing this, the big stone on Mai Jiuxin's mouth finally fell, and her body and mind were completely relaxed, and she lay comfortably on the bed.

She thought back to what Shiba had just said. Since she can still sneak to the side courtyard, presumably Sang Huai'an should be fine, and the corners of her mouth smiled when she thought of this.

Hearing the sound of gently pushing the door, Mai Jiu quickly turned his head to look, and the handkerchief around his neck also slipped down, but... The person who came was not Sang Huai'an...
