Chapter 163: No matter what
Ye Lan'er half of her body was submerged in the river, and her upper body was lying on the river beach, and she no longer had the strength to move again.
This shell is too weak. As soon as she was immersed in the water, her hands and feet began to cramp, and her muscles spasmed in fright and began to disobey.
With a lot of tenacity, she finally survived, but her lungs choked on a lot of river water, and her chest was about to explode with coughing.
The winter night was terrifyingly cold, and the thin gauze on Ye Lan'er's body had begun to freeze, and she couldn't delay for a moment. Gritting his teeth, he began to climb up the steep embankment with his hands and feet.
Suddenly there was the sound of boiling footsteps overhead, and the light of the torches began to reflect on her pale face.
"Hurry up, hurry up! Search along the riverbank! The female prisoner who just ran away tonight, her eyes wide! ”
"One head, two hundred silver! Such a good thing! That girl is said to be good-looking, maybe she has a tone to make the brothers happy! ”
"Come on, leprosy, I guess I'll run to other streets early, and I'll be cheaper for others!"
……
Ye Lan'er pinched her throat to prevent herself from coughing.
She originally thought that all she needed to overcome was the turbulent current, the turbulent river and the cold dripping ice, but she didn't expect that there would be officers and soldiers chasing and killing her.
Listening to the complaints of those soldiers overhead, Ye Lan'er knew that this imperial city was full of its enemies at the moment.
She didn't have time to think about it, so she quickly climbed up the embankment and hid behind a bluestone road monument.
The group of soldiers had just been scattered all over the place, and the torches had become dotted.
On both sides of the avenue here, there are rows of houses, but although Ye Lan'er has lived in the Rui Wangfu for a long time, she is not familiar with this imperial city at all, and in the dark night, she can't even tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest.
Suddenly, she saw a person walking in her direction, he didn't have a torch, so he walked closer, and Ye Lan'er found him.
Ye Lan'er squatted behind the stone monument, glad that she couldn't see her fingers in this dark night.
The man stopped two meters away from Ye Lan'er, rubbed his hands and untied his trouser belt with a sigh, and began to release water into the moat.
Maybe the weather was too cold, he held it for a long time, this soak of urine was very long, long enough for him to hum a little song, long enough to give Ye Lan'er enough time to detour behind him.
The neck bone was broken with a "click", and Xiaoqu'er stopped abruptly.
Ye Lan'er wasted a lot of effort to drag the soldier's body behind the stone monument, and after a while, she wore the dusty wide jacket and cotton hakama, combed the soldier's hair bun, and walked to the avenue.
……
Before then, Su Yu had returned to the Rui Wang's Mansion.
In the underground secret room of the palace, Su Yu stood beside Murong Ke with his hands down after finishing his report, waiting for him to finish reading the secret letter sent by the southwest.
Murong Ke was dressed in a moon-white plum blossom dark pattern, and the skin on his face was like jade. The knife-like eyebrows are wrinkled by the content of the secret letter, and the narrow and deep eyes are dark and bottomless.
"Su Yu, is there anything else?" Murong Ke asked.
Su Yu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Lord Wang, why did you arrange it like this, my subordinates couldn't figure it out." ”
Su Yu waited for a long time and didn't respond, so he saluted respectfully and was about to retreat, but he heard Murong Ke say leisurely: "Before I find Lan'er, I need this replacement to live." ”
……
Ye Lan'er staggered on the stone road, and was stabbed in the left shoulder, but fortunately the wound was not deep. But a pair of tender feet were already full of blood blisters, and it hurt so much that she just wanted to scold her mother.
Originally, she had a secret technique in her body, which could heal herself and resurrect herself with full blood. But now she is recovering from a serious illness, and her internal strength is weak, let alone healing, and she is powerless to hide from a few pursuers.
Not only her feet, but there is no place on her body that does not hurt now.
The wrists and ankles were worn by the chains in the prison, and they were already white after being soaked in cold water. The lungs hurt hotly, and if the arm moved a little more, the wound on the shoulder would crack and ooze blood.
The time when I struggled in the water drained all the energy of my muscles. So much so that when a kidnapped soldier asked for the direction of Rui Wangfu, he had another arm cramp for a while and was slashed alive.
Ye Lan'er kicked the knife in the soldier's hand, but was grabbed by the hair and pressed to the ground and hit it fiercely. Venus was covered in blood, and when she almost fainted, she finally grabbed a sharp stone and poked it into the man's right eye.
When did she become so violent and bloody?
Probably from the moment when everything Murong Ke did was just deceiving himself.
In any case, she is going to find him, ask for clarification, and die to understand!
But now, her breath was hot, her steps were flat, and her mind was dizzy.
I secretly screamed in my heart, I probably had a fever.
Although he couldn't wait to see Murong Ke, he couldn't hold on any longer. As soon as the morning dawns, the streets full of ordinary people will become his best cover, and Dong Xiaolian decided to find a place to hide for the night.
When I finally turned into a private house, it felt like entering a large garden, and there was not even a room around it.
She had to keep walking and find a sheltered place to sleep. I fantasize about having a bed quilt and a bowl of hot water.
The cold light flashed, and Ye Lan'er instinctively dodged, but the movements were still too slow.
The sword stabbed her wounded left shoulder, kicking her to the ground, the blade of the sword poking her throat and cutting blood.
"Bold fanatics, you dare to break into my general's mansion!"
Holding the sword is the unique female general of the Great Xia Kingdom, the unparalleled county lord of the emperor, Qin Yizhen.
It's difficult to worry about things, and I can't sleep every night, Qin Wushuang has gradually become a habit of dancing swords late at night in this back garden. I didn't expect to meet a thief today.
She stepped forward and stepped on Ye Lan'er's lower abdomen, and the latter vomited a breath of stomach water.
"Is it a woman?" After looking carefully, Qin Wushuang was surprised.
Qin Yizhen was stunned, Ye Lan'er had already pressed the hand on her left shoulder and pulled out a handful of blood and shook it at her eyes!
Then he turned around and pulled out the knife behind his back, slashing at Qin Wushuang's calf.
Qin Yizhen was blinded, couldn't dodge, and was knocked to the ground.
The sword fell to the bluestone slab with a clatter, and it turned out that both arms had been unjointed.
Ye Lan'er subdued Qin Yizhen with thunderous speed, tore off a corner of her robe, and strangled her mouth. Feeling uneasy, he stabbed her left leg again.
Not too deep or shallow enough to limit her movements.
In addition to the pain, Qin Yizhen's eyes were full of shame and indignation. The first female general of the Great Xia Kingdom was defeated at the hands of a female thief! She stared fiercely at the panting woman in front of her, eager to cramp and peel her.
But she couldn't have known that the unrecognizable woman in front of her was Ye Lan'er.
Qin Yizhen, who was bound, shouted: "I'm the county lord of the Great Xia Kingdom, do you know what you're doing?" Aren't you afraid of death? I'm the Lord of the Peerless County, are you deaf or crazy? ”
Ye Lan'er didn't have the time to talk to this peerless county lord, she stuffed the rags back into Qin Wushuang's mouth, quietly flattened the grass in the firewood room, and lay down contentedly: With such a high-status person as a hostage, the road to Rui Wang's Mansion should be very easy.
The truth is exactly as Ye Lan'er expected.
On the second day, the carriage of the unequaled county lord walked down the street, the soldiers, merchants, and ordinary people all avoided it, and several sedan chairs ridden by civil officials stopped from a distance to show respect.
Ye Lan'er felt that she was heading towards Murong Ke at a flying speed, and she had never been so excited as she was at this time.
"County Lord, it's here." The coachman reported it.
Ye Lan'er pressed Qin Yizhen's shoulder, and Qin Yizhen had to tell the coachman to stop according to her wishes.
She whispered to Ye Lan'er, "What exactly are you going to do?" Rui Wangfu is not something that anyone can break into, and it's too late to stop now! ”
Ye Lan'er twisted her dislocated joint hard, and Qin Yizhen, who was in pain, burst into tears.
"You don't care about my business! No matter how many mouths you have, I'll cut off your unparalleled county lord's tongue, believe it or not! ”
As she spoke, Ye Lan'er lifted the curtain and looked out of the carriage.
It's still the same plaque, the same stone lion, the same doornails, the same stone steps.
What's different is how this mansion feels to you.
I used to feel that this was my home, my own harbor, and a place where I lived with my loved ones.
And now...... This is the sad place, here is the source of pain, here is hell.
For a hundred tormented days and nights, Ye Lan'er wanted to return here countless times, wanted to find that person, and asked clearly.
But when she really came to the gate of King Rui's Mansion, she was a little hesitant.
How she wished that everything was just her own misunderstanding, that everything was wrong. Murong Ke loves himself, and those tortures are not real.
But she was afraid, afraid that it was true, that it was true. I am afraid that I will leave my relatives because of this man, but all I get is a lie and a dead end.
was in Ye Lan'er's trance, Qin Yizhen, escaped the shackles.
She crashed into the car and shouted for help.
By the time Ye Lan'er reacted, the guards of the Rui Wang's Mansion had already surrounded her three layers inside and three layers outside.
Dark San happened to be in charge of the periphery of the palace today, and when he saw that the unequaled county lord was in trouble, he brought his sword to fight.
Facing the sword move, Ye Lan'er swayed left and right, quickly moved under his feet, blocked with his arms close, and skillfully dodged. Her long knife fell in the carriage and now she could not attack but defend.
The dark thirty tricks couldn't hurt her in the slightest, and she was a little anxious, and her movements became more aggressive.
Half an hour later, Ye Lan'er, who had not eaten for three days and had a high fever, was physically exhausted, and finally showed a flaw and was stabbed in the left leg.
Then, the sword cut more than a dozen bloody wounds on her waist, back, and legs, and the blood flowed incessantly. Ye Lan'er could clearly feel that her life was flowing rapidly.
But she couldn't give up.
Because once you give up, your head will fall to the ground. She can't die yet, she hasn't seen Murong Ke yet, and she hasn't asked her questions yet......
But Dark San had lost his patience, and he stabbed a long sword directly into Ye Lan'er's chest, wanting to end the battle with this disgusting-looking woman.
Ye Lan'er opened her mouth and shouted: "Dark three! ”
The hoarse and rough voice like coarse sand rolling through makes people quite sad to listen to. Dark Mi didn't know why the woman in front of him called out her name. He hesitated and retracted his sword move.
"Who are you!" Dark three asked.
Ye Lan'er knew that her face had been ruined and her throat had been burned, and her current image must be even more terrifying than she imagined. No one will believe that she is Princess Rui, even if it is Murong Ke, she probably won't recognize herself.
And, thinking of this, she was a little reluctant to let Murong Ke recognize herself.
Reaching out and touching her face, Ye Lan'er smiled bitterly.
Dark three looked at the crazy woman on the ground, and somehow, he couldn't do it.
At this time, a voice remembered, "What happened?" ”
