Chapter 80: The Grace of Saving Lives
Walking out of the shop in a trance, my heart seemed to be pressed by a thousand pounds of boulders, unable to use my strength, I stood alone on the spacious street, looked at the left side of the road, and then looked at the right side of the road, Qinzhou is so big, where else can I go? In any case, I never imagined that I would live in the Qin Mansion and live in Qi Ao's mansion, and I still didn't know it under the eyes of the enemy, naively thinking that the cold-faced man that night was revealing his true feelings and would not use me to deal with Li Xuan.
Falling into the trap of others once again disguised as trust, I had a mocking sneer on my face, how could I trust someone so easily? The streets were full of people, and people kept walking past me, but none of them had anything to do with me, and I was always alone.
I walked farther and farther aimlessly, and before I knew it, I arrived at the city gate, which was an extremely ordinary city gate, blocking my way, and I didn't realize that the cold-faced man sent two entourages to follow me: "My lord has an order, Miss must not leave Qinzhou." ”
I stepped forward and took a step, and these two people hurriedly stopped in front of me: "Please don't embarrass your subordinates, Miss." ”
I said coldly, "Do you think you two can stop me?" ”
I took advantage of the fact that one of them was unprepared, and I stepped forward and drew the sword from his waist, crossed it around his neck, and shouted at the other, "If you don't get out of the way, I'll kill him." ”
The other person hesitated, I held the long sword in my hand and cut through the skin of this person with a little force, the red blood stained the tip of the sword, under my compulsion, the two of them retreated step by step, and they were about to step out of the city gate, and the retinue held by me was horizontal, and looked at death as if it were home: "Miss killed her subordinates, and her subordinates will never disobey the orders of your lords." ”
I snorted coldly: "What benefits did he give you to make you not even want your life?" Stand back, or don't blame my men for being ruthless. ”
As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen guards appeared on the left and right sides, two of them closed the city gate together, and it could be seen that they had been waiting here for a long time, in order to prevent me from leaving, my heart was angry, I withdrew my long sword and slapped the attendant's shoulder, shaking him away, and then stood on tiptoe, flying up along the city wall, and several ups and downs had reached the highest point.
Looking back, the cold-faced man rode his horse quickly, he raised his eyes to look at me at the moment a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, did not wait for the horse to stop and took off towards me, his speed was faster than I thought, I knew that I was not his opponent in martial arts, panicked and jumped off the tower, this move was very dangerous, when I fell, my face was blown by the cold wind and hurt, I gritted my teeth until I landed safely and breathed a sigh of relief.
Outside the city, most of the people waiting for the city gate to open and enter the city, I quickly pulled a man off the horse, turned over and clamped the horse's belly and galloped forward, running out of the less than 100 meters behind the equally fast sound of horses' hooves, I didn't need to look to know that it was the cold-faced man chasing after me. He was so fast that I tightened the reins and struck the horse with the blade of my sword, which galloped forward in pain.
The wind was whistling in my ears, and the cold-faced man chased after me along the way, faintly catching up with me, and in a hurry, I *pumped* several times on the horse's stomach, but the horse's hooves were tripped by a raised stone, and the front legs suddenly knelt on the ground, and the horse ran too fast, at this time I was thrown out of the horse's back by a huge momentum, and if I fell directly to the ground, I would definitely break my muscles and bones.
At the last moment, the cold-faced man saved me again.
At the moment when I was about to land, the cold-faced man jumped off the horse and flew to hug me, but the momentum was too great, the two of us rolled down the slope next to the road together, the grass was full of sharp stones of all sizes, the cold-faced man in order to prevent me from being injured, hugged me with his arms, surrounded me with his body, and finally I was safe and sound, but he was rubbed all over the body, and blood flowed.
We finally stopped at a flat place, and I lay on him in embarrassment, and he snorted in silence, and I struggled to sit up from him, and looked at him in a daze, and was so frightened that I couldn't speak, and I really scared me, and I couldn't imagine what would happen if I fell straight off my horse.
My voice was as thin as a mosquito, and I asked slowly, "Why did you save me?" "If he was careless just now, he would have taken his own life, where am I worth it?
He stood up with pain, and I saw that the clothes on his back were almost worn by the stones on the slope, and the whole back was blurred with flesh and blood, which made it unbearable to look at it more. He finally couldn't hold it anymore, his tall figure shook, a trace of blood spilled from his lips, and then he coughed violently several mouthfuls of blood.
He was so badly injured to save me, I couldn't be indifferent any longer, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him: "How are you? ”
He wiped the blood stains from the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand, and his eyes were calm: "Follow me back." ”
At this time, he still insisted that I go back to Qinzhou, but how could I go back?
"I have a grudge against Qi Ao, if he wants me to die, I won't live tomorrow."
He didn't wonder how I knew that the Qin Mansion was Qi Ao's mansion, and only promised with a resolute expression: "I will protect you." ”
There was once a person who said such a sentence, Li Xuan also said that no matter what happened, he would protect me well, I was sad, if Qi Ao used me to threaten Li Xuan on the battlefield, it would inevitably destroy the morale of Daqi, and then Daqi would be defeated without a fight, Li Xuan would not be able to avenge Mrs. Tilting Moon and the king of the county, he would only regret it for life, I don't want Li Xuan to regret it because of me.
"You are just obeying Qi Ao's orders, do you want to disobey him for my sake? Although I don't want to die at the hands of Qi Ao, I don't have to sacrifice others to protect myself, and besides, you and I have nothing to do with it, and I don't want to owe you too much. ”
The cold-faced man and I stand on a different position, saving me is nothing more than because I am the biggest hostage in Qi Ao's hands, which is related to the direction of the war between the two countries, I am very grateful that he risked his life to save me, although he obeyed Qi Ao's orders, there is no need to get involved in this chaos.
He struggled to pronounce words: "I have my own way." ”
If you haven't returned to the avenue before dark, I'm afraid you'll have to spend the night in the wilderness, and it's hard to survive the sudden drop in temperature even if there are no wild beasts in such a cold day.
The cold-faced man looked very calm, he sat down on the ground with some difficulty, his eyebrows were still cold and arrogant, and I was worried: "Is there a code to summon your horse?" "I can't count on that horse, and now I can only hope for the cold-faced man's mount.
He said truthfully: "No." ”
I couldn't help but be disappointed, the cold-faced man was injured and couldn't walk far, that horse was our only hope to get out of here, seeing my lost look, he comforted: "Don't worry, Lin Hang and they chased after you and I when I went out of the city, and when they saw my horse, they would come to rescue us." ”
When he said this, I seemed to have taken a reassuring pill, I sat down next to him, waited quietly with him, and the thought of running away disappeared in my heart, he was so badly injured, I couldn't abandon him at this time.
Qi Ao later said to me: "Xi'er, I grew up with you, even though your amnesia has forgotten me cleanly, no one knows your temperament better than me. You are too soft-hearted, I can't see others hurt because of you, this is why I must catch up with you non-stop, I am good to you, you can't turn a blind eye, you beat the horse hard, almost fell down, I was terrified in the back, I want to protect you desperately, and it is also an explanation to the master. ”
This situation can be recalled, but it was already clear at the time. We are childhood sweethearts, obviously we have so much time to get along, but I didn't fall in love with him at the best age, Qi Ao, you keep saying that you understand me, how can you not understand, for Qin Xi, liking is liking, disliking is disliking, when she meets a peerless person like Li Xuan, where can she tolerate other people in her eyes? Why can't you let it go?
Sure enough, within a stick of incense, Lin Hang found us with his people. Lin Hang stood at the front of the guards, holding the cold-faced man's red horse, he clasped his fists with both hands and said, "My lord, my subordinates are late, please punish them." ”
"It's good to be here." The cold-faced man patted Lin Hang's shoulder, Lin Hang raised his head, caught a glimpse of the cold-faced man's back injury, his eyes were red and he couldn't believe it: "My lord, are you injured?" He saw that I was unscathed, but my hair was a little scattered, and naturally guessed that the cold-faced man was injured to protect me, and glared at me viciously, as if he was going to eat me.
The cold-faced man understated: "It's just a small injury, go back to the city immediately." ”
He walked towards his horse, and I could clearly see that his steps were deep and shallow, and although he had endured as much as he could, his slow movements were exposed, and it turned out that he was not only bruised on his back, but also had a broken leg bone in his right leg, and I couldn't help but take his hand, and he looked at me puzzled, and I apologized, "Let me help you." ”
I put his arm around my shoulder, so that he leaned most of his body against me, so that he could walk more easily, and he understood, and let me help him step by step to the horse, and he turned over and sat on the horse's back and stretched out his hand to me, and I politely refused: "I'll just sit on another horse." ”
It is not appropriate for a man or a woman to sit on the same horse.
He pointed to the guards and horses behind him, and said expressionlessly: "These guards are just one person and one horse, your horse has just run away, and you are missing, whether you ride a horse with me or with Lin Hang, you choose." ”
Lin Hang stood next to him, and after listening to the cold-faced man's words, his whole face immediately turned the color of pig liver, and he even stammered when he spoke: "Big-adult," he simply opened his eyes and said nonsense: "Miss, she is delicate and noble, she belongs to a martial artist, and her subordinate horses are also very rude, Miss she-"
I don't dislike him yet, he dislikes me in turn, I don't need to worry about him, I am no longer hypocritical, I grabbed the corner of the cold-faced man's clothes and easily got on the horse, sat behind him, the distance between the two was very close, the wounds on his back were all visible, the blood stains were intricate, and even the movement was still bleeding, I urged in a low voice: "Let's go." ”
He kicked the horse's belly, and the horse galloped, and I was hindered by the difference between men and women, and it was difficult to hold on to his clothes, and because I sat behind me and had no reins to grasp, I could only barely hold on to the saddle, and it was not long before I almost fell off the horse several times, and when he noticed it, he took my hand and wrapped it around his waist, and I was so ashamed that my face was flushed, and I only had to do it as a last resort.
Lin Hang followed closely, wishing to stare at me without blinking with both eyes, for fear that I would take the opportunity to harm his adult again, I twisted my head to the side and ignored him, but my psychology was inexplicably nervous. The horseback was bumped violently, and the breath of the cold-faced man was blowing in his face, which was a little awkward, so he rode all the way to the Qin Mansion.
