"Take her away!" The lead assassin gave the order, and someone stepped forward and tied her up.

"Where are you taking me?" Chu Shuyao didn't do a useless struggle, and shouted loudly.

"Hey, she is worthy of being a princess of a country, this fearless appearance in danger really impresses us! If you can beg for mercy in a pitiful whisper, maybe I can take pity on Xiangxiang and cherish the jade for a while, and act gently and considerately later, and save the princess from thinking that we rough men are rude. ”

"Hahaha......" The group laughed wildly.

Along the way, the group of people did not move her, but escorted her, all the way to the west, which was the direction of the Western Chu Kingdom.

Why did they take her in the direction of the Western Chu Kingdom? Chu Shuyao racked her brains to think about the scheming and planning.

The forest where the assassins ambushed just now was the only way for the Western Chu Kingdom to go to the Tanglin Kingdom, and if it had been planned a long time ago, it would naturally be the preferred ambush location.

And the assassins took her back to Western Chu, but they didn't go to Tanglin, but actually wanted her to have an accident on the border of Western Chu, so they had nothing to do with Tanglin State, and the first person to find out that she had an accident was naturally a person from Western Chu, and Tanglin State had an excuse to say that this matter was directed and acted by Western Chu State.

What a calculation! This is to let the Western Chu Kingdom slap himself in the face. He can make no effort to sit on the benefits of a fisherman.

After walking all night, when it was dawn, the Assassins did not dare to hurry openly, so they found a ruined temple to rest.

The Assassins threw her on a pile of hay and went about eating and drinking. They were outnumbered, and they were confident that she would not be able to run, so someone untied the rope that bound her hands and threw her a piece of dry food and a bag of water.

So they didn't want her to die like this? Chu Shuyao thought in her heart.

"Boss, we've been gone all night, this should be here, it should be coming soon, right?" One of the Assassins whispered to the Assassin leader.

They thought that Chu Shuyao couldn't hear their conversation, or were they not afraid that Chu Shuyao would hear their conversation at all, and they would have no fear, right?

"The news has been released, right?" The Assassin leader asked.

"Last night, someone was sent to deliver the news quickly. Count the hours, and it's time to come. The other man, as he spoke, took a heavy sip of wine.

"Okay, let's fight later, don't fight, make a show, and withdraw quickly. Don't be fearless casualties. ”

The assassin leader's words made Chu Shuyao even more firm in the doubts in her heart, "Don't be fearless casualties? These words are not like outlaws in the rivers and lakes can say, but like brave and resourceful generals who have fought on the battlefield.

Soon, there was the sound of horses' hooves stomping on the ground outside, and Chu Shuyao knew that it must be the person in their mouth who came.

Soon, there was the sound of fighting and killing outside. Chu Shuyao took this opportunity to hide quietly, preparing to escape later in the chaos.

But the Assassins were not reckless, and when they thought of this, two men kept her under strict guard.

At this time, she no longer hid it, and stabbed the important acupuncture points of the two people with a golden needle, and took the opportunity to escape.

Soon someone chased after her, and she ran forward desperately, but she didn't expect that the back mountain was actually a dead end. The cliff was close at hand, and looking at the people chasing behind her, she was in a dilemma.

Forcing herself to calm down, she wondered if she could get out of the hands of these men.

There was the sound of horses' hooves not far away, Chu Shuyao concentrated to see, the one who rode the horse galloped was actually Meng Yichen!

How did he come? And the words that the Assassins had just said. They seem to have deliberately revealed the news, and they deliberately asked Meng Yichen to come over? So what is their intention?

Chu Shuyao couldn't think clearly for a while. And Meng Yichen soon came to her side.

He rode in and killed the Assassins who were chasing her. turned over and dismounted, and protected her in his arms, "Shu'er, I'm late." ”

Chu Shuyao burst into tears, shook her head in a panic, and a thousand words were replaced by choking and sobbing.

"Let's get out of here first!" As soon as Meng Yichen made a decision, he hugged Chu Shuyao tightly, ready to take her to turn over and get on the horse.

Unexpectedly, the cunning and treacherous assassins actually set up bows and arrows and shot at them.

The feather arrow was close at hand, and a pungent smell came from the air, Chu Shuyao's pupils suddenly shrank, and she shouted, "The bow and arrow are poisonous." ”

If it is not poisonous, it can still be shot by the arrow, but now, it can only dodge.

The two of them, who were already on the edge of the cliff, couldn't turn over and dodge, their bodies were unbalanced, and the gravel on the edge of the cliff was unstable, and the two of them rolled down the cliff one after another.

In the process of falling rapidly, Meng Yichen still hugged her tightly. This feeling made her suddenly more courageous, as if she was broken bones, and she was not afraid.

The people on the cliff are still shooting arrows down. There was a quenched arrow that hit Meng Yichen's shoulder, Meng Yichen was in pain, and the hand holding Chu Shuyao tightly loosened suddenly.

Chu Shuyao almost fell out of his arms, but fortunately, she was quick and hugged Meng Yichen with her backhand.

The people above continued to shoot arrows.

The leader of the assassins waved his hand, "No more archery. At such a distance, you can't shoot. ”

"Boss, there's a big river down there, and if they fall, they won't die. Shall we go down and have a look? ”

"No, it's done. It doesn't matter if they die or not. After all, our purpose has been achieved. What's more, the brigade brought by Meng Yichen is about to rush over, if we don't leave at this time, we won't be able to leave, withdraw! ”

Following the orders of the Assassin leader, the Assassins quickly left the cliff.

When the officers and soldiers of Western Chu brought by Meng Yichen chased after this cliff, there was no trace of anyone on the cliff. It's just that the traces of the fight on the edge of this cliff indicate a vicious battle that has just taken place.

"The general and the princess, you can't fall off the cliff, do you?" A small soldier who spoke out the doubts in everyone's hearts.

"Go down and look for it, you have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death!" The adjutant general gave the order, and the officers and men quickly moved.

When Chu Shuyao woke up, she found herself lying on a river beach. It is estimated that it was washed ashore by the river. She subconsciously observed the surroundings, this riverbank, in the middle of nowhere, should be a place where no one lives.

What about Meng Yichen? Will he be as lucky as he is and be washed ashore by the river? When he fell off the cliff, he was hit by a poisonous arrow.

She was in turmoil and began to look for Meng Yichen in a panic. Seeing that this place was uninhabited, she looked up to observe the terrain and found that this was the valley floor between the two cliffs, because of the topography of the canyon, so there was this river.

In this way, it seems that the people above cannot get down, and the people below cannot go up.

Thinking of this, she shouted without scruples, "Yichen, where are you?" Yi Chen......"

She walked, searched, shouted, searched for a long time, but couldn't see Meng Yichen's whereabouts, she was anxious, and cried in frustration.

"Yichen, where are you? Don't scare me! She cried and cried, almost despairing.

She knew how poisonous the arrow was. I'm afraid of Meng Yichen, now he is more than lucky.

It's all because of her, if it weren't for saving her, Meng Yichen wouldn't have suffered so much.

When she was about to despair, a voice suddenly came from behind her, "Shu'er, I'm here." ”

It was Yichen's voice, Chu Shuyao's heart warmed, and she suddenly burst into tears, turned around quickly, and rushed towards Meng Yichen.

When the two hugged each other tightly, she was filled with joy and sorrow, and cried with joy.

Meng Yichen comforted her gently, "Okay, don't cry anymore, aren't I fine?" ”

As soon as he said this, Chu Shuyao immediately remembered that he still had arrow wounds on his body, so he immediately let go of him and went to check the injury, "Are you okay on your back?" ”

Meng Yichen's face turned pale, and he shook his head with a smile, "It's okay." But his tone was weak, and at first glance he was badly wounded.

"You sit down, I'll detoxify you first. Fortunately, the gold needle I carried with me was not lost. Seal the acupuncture points for you first, so that the poisonous gas does not spread, and then find you some detoxification herbs when the time comes, it should be fine. ”

Chu Shuyao said as she went to get the gold needle on her body, and asked Meng Yichen to take off the clothes on her shoulders.

Meng Yichen did as he was told, and after being pricked by a few golden needles, Meng Yichen suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, and the blood was black poisonous blood.

Although it looks terrifying, it is no longer so dangerous, after all, most of the poisonous blood has been spit out.

Extremely poisonous and obedient, Chu Shuyao didn't dare to delay time, "You rest here for a while, remember not to go against the meridians to force out the poisonous blood, that will only intensify the invasion of the poison into the heart." I'm going to get you some antidote herbs. ”

Meng Yichen was not hypocritical, only nodded obediently, so that Chu Shuyao could feel at ease.

But before Chu Shuyao left, he still grabbed her hand hypocritically, and said guiltily and blamefully, "Shu'er, I'm really useless, not only can't protect you, but also makes you worry about me." ”

Chu Shuyao's eyes turned red again, "Don't say it again, you're all doing this for me." I'm going to look for herbs first. ”

Time was pressing, Chu Shuyao didn't dare to go far, only in the nearest place, picked some wild chrysanthemums and dandelions, these herbs, although they are heat-clearing and detoxifying, but the effect is not so significant.

She could only walk back with a frown, thinking that she would use these two herbs first, and then she would find the others.

Coincidentally, on the way back, she actually found the ghost needle grass, this herb, plus the wild chrysanthemum and dandelion in her hand, is enough to solve the urgent need.

After returning to Meng Yichen's side, she was inexplicably relieved, mashed the herbs with stones, and applied them to the wound. The two of them were tired, so they fell asleep.

When she woke up, Chu Shuyao found that Meng Yichen's body was hot, and it should be an arrow wound that was suppurated and infected, causing a cold and high fever.

She immediately went to inspect the wound and found that it was.

It's not a way to go on like this. Although the herbs are good, the effect of external application is always not as good as that of internal administration, but there is no pot stove here, how to cook decoction medicine?
