Chapter 251: Sacrifice
The dog barked deep into the alley, and there was footsteps in the distance.
The brocade-clothed young man stood among the piles of corpses, casually raising his hand and delicately pinching the long sword that had been chopped over. His eyes were indifferent, looking at the man in black who was trembling incessantly, and he broke the blade in an instant with extreme coldness, and struck the blade back into the abdomen of the man in black.
Agarwood was protected in front of Gu Mingxiu's horse, and he saw the pitch-black lights lit up not far away. She frowned and said nothing, and looked at Shen Huai with her sword: "Master? β
The young man was still standing in place, paused slightly, turned around without hesitation, turned over and said, "Go." With that, he grabbed the reins and ran into another alley, without hesitation.
It is clear that killing the enemy and taking the avenue is the shortcut...
Agarwood's eyes were a little confused, but she didn't think much about it. She has always listened to Shen Huai's orders, and knows that her master has his own plans, so she will not doubt it. As soon as Shen Huai finished giving the order, she took her sword and got on her horse and followed.
Gu Mingxiu raised his head and could see the black sky above his head with branches splitting, and there were a few rare sparks flickering. The person behind her protected her in her arms, and ran forward, but she was stopped by a team of people at the corner, Gu Mingxiu blinked her eyes and said lightly: "Shen Huai, something is wrong with you." β
The young man paused, and then smiled lowly: "What a cleverness, little Xiu'er." It's just a pity that this king didn't reward you today. β
When the few people behind him heard this, their faces were a little ugly.
Su Weiyi grabbed the reins, and her tone was worried and panicked: "Brother Huai, where are you uncomfortable?" Yes, was it just that he was injured? Or was he injured on the way back? Serious or not? β
The pursuers not far away gradually approached, Agarwood glanced at Shen Huai, then looked at Gu Mingxiu, and asked in a calm tone: "Princess, the slave will delay time, please leave here as soon as possible with your master." β
With that, she jumped off her horse with her sword in hand, and ran towards the approaching centaurs without hesitation. The back of the woman in Xuanyi was resolute and unambiguous, and she didn't leave Gu Mingxiu with the slightest chance to answer.
The young man behind him had cold eyes, and he didn't seem to be abnormal. Only Gu Mingxiu, who was close to him, could feel that the young man's body was trembling slightly, and even the hand holding the reins was a little unstable.
"Let's go." Gu Mingxiu snatched the reins from Shen Huai's hand, whipped the horse, and commanded in a cold voice. Everyone was not ambiguous, and hurriedly raised their whips and followed Gu Mingxiu to turn around and run into the distance.
The farther away from the people behind him, the more faint the sound of shouting and killing became. Gu Mingxiu held the reins tightly and rode her horse, and when she ran into a dark color, the person behind her let go of the hand holding her and fell to the side.
The horses were still galloping, Gu Mingxiu was caught off guard, and he didn't have the strength to hold up the young man. She threw away the reins and the whip, turned around and hugged Shen Huai, and then rolled to the ground with him, closed her eyes and protected Shen Huai's head in her arms, and Gu Mingxiu cushioned him under him to withstand the impact.
Seeing that the two people in front of them suddenly rolled down, Su Weiyi and Mo Zhu hurriedly reined in the horses. Su Weiyi dismounted and hurriedly went to help Shen Huai up, and his tone was worried: "Brother Huai! What happened to you? Brother Huai, wake up, don't scare Weiyi.
β
"Princess." Mo Zhu didn't pay attention to Su Weiyi, but hurriedly helped Gu Mingxiu up, and looked at her anxiously, "Did you fall somewhere?" β
Fang just put himself underneath, and when the two of them fell, they rolled to the side due to inertia, and did not stop until they hit the wall. Gu Mingxiu was caught off guard, and his back hit the bump of the wall, and it hurt extremely much at the moment.
She was helped up by Mozhu and quietly adjusted her state. Before she could answer Mo Zhu, Su Weiyi on the side had already asked sharply: "How could Brother Huai be poisoned?!" Gu Mingxiu, what did you do to him! β
Under the moonlight, the young man closed his eyes tightly, and his lips were slightly bluish-white, clearly poisoned.
"Hugh wants to slander my princess out of thin air!"
Su Weiyi cried and said, "You vicious person! I knew early on that you would attack Brother Huai, so I should have died with you, so as not to teach you to persecute Brother Huai......"
"Noise." Gu Mingxiu said lightly, his tone was a little cold, with a few hints of warning, but with a little surprise in the night, he taught Su Weiyi to be quiet subconsciously, "What is the current situation, you still can't tell it." β
In the distance, there was a sound of fighting, and the sound of horses' hooves was faintly close.
Su Weiyi's face turned pale when she landed, and she was a little incredulous: "They, they are so desperate to chase after them!" Could it be that we really have to die, do we have to treat Brother Huai like this..."
Gu Mingxiu didn't want to pay attention to her and didn't speak.
Mo Zhu glanced at Shen Huai silently, then at Su Weiyi, who was crying, and finally set his eyes on Gu Mingxiu. The girl in the light purple dress was a little embarrassed, the dress was stained with a lot of dust, and the makeup was also a little gray.
She exhaled deeply, then got up and turned over on her horse and said, "Princess, the slave and maid go to lead away the pursuers, you and Miss Su leave here quickly with Your Highness." The streets have started to mess up, and there will definitely be our people. As long as the people who find us will definitely be able to... I'm sure I'll survive. β
ββ¦ Miss Su, please take care of my princess. Mo Zhu bowed towards Su Weiyi and saluted, and then without hesitation, he pulled the reins and rode his horse in the opposite direction. She deliberately walked towards the source of the sound of horses' hooves, and then turned around and ran farther and farther away from Gu Mingxiu and them.
Su Weiyi hurriedly hid behind the banyan tree behind the horse-drawn horse outside back to the alley. When she saw Gu Mingxiu protecting Shen Huai, she only felt angry, but she didn't dare to say more, so she squatted beside the two of them without saying a word.
"You are very good at buying people's hearts, and the maids on your side dare to die for you, and you are good...... will only hide and call his maid to die. Su Weiyi lowered her voice and looked down on Gu Mingxiu very much.
Gu Mingxiu's hand pressed on Shen Huai's pulse, and said lightly: "I don't want to talk to you much, if you just want to say these useless words, I advise you to be quiet." β
"You-"
"Ahem, ahem, ahemβ"
Suddenly, Shen Huai coughed. He didn't open his eyes, didn't seem to regain consciousness, just coughed quietly
, accompanied by a cough, a trace of blood seeped from his lips.
"Huai-" Su Weiyi was about to scream, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded from time to time reminded her of her current situation.
Gu Mingxiu picked up the embroidered handkerchief and wiped the corners of Shen Huai's lips, and without hesitation, he tore off the sachet on his waist and took out the porcelain bottle inside. Pouring out a pill and putting it into his lips, Gu Mingxiu picked up Shen Huai's face and kissed him on the lips. In Su Weiyi's shocked expression, she slowly and carefully pushed the pill into Shen Huai's mouth before getting up to leave.
"You... What are you doing! What did you give Brother Huai to eat! Su Weiyi grabbed her hand and asked angrily.
Gu Mingxiu knelt on the spot, because she let go of Shen Huai's face that she was holding because she pulled it like that. The young man leaned quietly into her arms, and the girl in purple raised her head coldly, with a few traces of blood remaining on her lips: "It has nothing to do with you." β
The blood on her lips was Shen Huai's.
Su Weiyi looked at the cold girl in a daze, and subconsciously let go of her hand. She looked at Gu Mingxiu in a daze, and asked her in a mutter: "You... That's how you ...... Aren't you afraid of poison in your blood? What if, what if..."
"The left and right are just dying together, what's the matter." Gu Mingxiu said lightly.
Su Weiyi wanted to say something, and footsteps sounded not far away.
Someone stopped on their street, accompanied by the sound of slamming the door and gossiping, Su Weiyi and Gu Mingxiu escorted Shen Huai towards the darkness and hid closer, and a vague noise came out through the door panel.
ββ¦β¦β¦ Haven't chased it yet..."
"The top has ordered, you must catch Gu Mingxiu and King Xiao, and the rest of the people don't matter."
"What's so important about Princess Xiao? Killing King Xiao is. The order to die has been issued from above, oh, the general's mansion has been captured now, what else is there to care about. β
"Fang Cai looked like a girl at that glance, just let the rest of the people chase after her. Shen Huai must still be here, no matter what, I will kill him! β
Su Weiyi, who was hiding in the night, turned pale.
Gu Mingxiu was silent for a moment, and smiled faintly: "It turns out that he is so smart, I really don't know any strategy when he is still him." β
She handed the porcelain bottle in her hand to Su Weiyi: "If he is more stable after a while, you can give him this medicine." It can cure all kinds of poisons, but it takes some time to recover. β
"What are you going to do... Are you worried about the General's Mansion? Su Weiyi was scared in her heart, and said hurriedly, "You're... Just stay here. We'll just hide and wait for them to goβ"
"Shen Yang is so stupid. It's only a matter of moments to hide here, and to be found. She brushed aside the blue leaves and looked at the horses in the corner, "You take Shen Huai to find a hidden place to hide, and the agarwood them, or the general's mansion will find you." β
"The General's Palace... The General's Mansion doesn't all have to-"
"Miss Su, don't underestimate my grandfather." Gu Mingxiu interrupted her lightly, as if smiling, "Today I will fight, and you will bring Shen Huai back to King Xiao's mansion." As long as you go back to King Xiao's Mansion, everything will be fine. β
After Gu Mingxiu finished speaking, he didn't look at Su Weiyi's reaction
The hand took off Shen Huai's cloak. She stood up, draped her cloak over herself, put on her snow cap, and galloped towards Su Weiyi's horse.
The wind filled the sleeves of the dark cloak with wind and snow, and from a distance, it really looked like Shen Huai was riding a horse. She whipped away, and ran straight in the direction of the city gate without eating or careing, as fast as she could and without publicity.
"Quick! Shen Huai is here! β
"It's in the direction of the city gate! He's going to run! β
"Chase!"
Su Weiyi hugged Shen Huai tightly, only to hear a panicked pursuit sound, accompanied by a scream, and chased in the direction of Gu Mingxiu. They chased as fast as they could, but in an instant they gave up the search here.
Su Weiyi paused for a moment, silently picked up Shen Huai and walked forward.
"Brother Huai, bear with me a little longer. Microclothes will protect your... Brother Huai, don't worry. She whispered reassurance, as if she was about to cry and laugh.
