CHAPTER XXIX
Sure enough, as Yelujing guessed, before it was completely dark, it began to rain, neither big nor small, and it was extremely loud on the tent. Even inside the tent, you can feel the chill outside.
"It's such a cold rain, I don't know what happened to General Hu?" Twilight brace her cheeks and look at a small opening in the tent.
I glanced at her, this girl's lovesickness seems to be getting worse and worse, but at this time, how can I still have the heart to care about her, this weather is really cold, I rubbed my hands, trying to warm myself up, I don't know if it will be colder in the Eastern Wu Dynasty.
Twilight was about to say something, but was interrupted by a commotion, mixed with the sound of weapons colliding. I lifted the curtain of my tent and was startled by the scene outside. The soldiers were fighting with a group of men in black, and the ground was red with the blood running down the rain.
"Princess, what's going on?" Twilight's voice sounded in the back, but it didn't matter if it was this shout, the group of men in black somehow ran towards me, their eyes murderous.
I was so frightened that I took a few steps back, could it be that this group of people was coming for me? A man in black rushed first with a long sword, and when the sword was about to fall, my legs were stiff and I couldn't move a single bit.
A man rushed over to block the sword, turned to another man who was fighting in the distance and said, "Prince Wang, you quickly protect the princess and leave, I will deal with it here." ”
At this moment, I found out that the man with a sword and a man in black was Yelujing, and at this time he was as if he was being washed in blood, and I was shocked, and before I could ask him if he was injured, he pulled him and ran in one direction.
"Twilight!" I shouted back, and she was obviously frightened as well, and she didn't react until I called out to her, and she hurried after her.
The man in black behind wanted to chase after him, but because of the hindrance of the soldier and the man who had just spoken, he didn't catch up for the time being. This man seems to be the one who came with Yelujing at the New Year's Day banquet, but he didn't expect his martial arts to be so powerful, and he always thought he was a messenger at that time.
Yelujing took us to a nearby mountain, and when we saw his slightly embarrassed figure in the woods, my heart became more and more uneasy, and I couldn't help but speak, "Little Er, what happened?" ”
"There are assassins......" he did not look back, nor did he stop at his feet, "these people are not from my Eastern Vulture Dynasty, they look like ......."
"Oops!"
I looked back and found Twilight on her stomach on the ground, her brow furrowed over her feet. I let go of Yelujing's hand, ran back and asked, "How is it?" Can you still walk? ”
She sniffed, as if she was about to cry, nodded but didn't speak, but as soon as I lifted her up, she sat down again in pain. It seemed that the injury was not light, and I looked at Yelujing for help, hoping to rest for a while. He glanced at Twilight, showing no expression, and sat down.
I hurriedly looked around for a few sticks, then took out the scimitar in my arms and cut off a few strands of her skirt to secure her feet. By the time she was dressed, the rain had gradually faded.
It's just that it didn't take long for Yelujing to suddenly speak, "Someone is coming." "I'll listen...... It seems that there are really footsteps, not one or two!
"Let's go!" It was only then that I noticed that he was also injured, because he had clearly stumbled as he had just taken a step.
"Jerod cleans your legs......" I regretted how I found out, and was about to go up to check, but he stopped me.
"I'm fine, you can go quickly, this group of people seems to be coming for you." Although he said this, his eyes glanced at Twilight Huan beside me, "Just leave it to me and your maidservant here, she will be fine." ”
I shook my head, how could I leave them alone and run away?
"Princess, go quickly, there is this messenger here to protect my safety, and it will be fine." Seeing this, Twilight Huan also said anxiously.
How can a person with injuries in both legs be okay?
Seeing that I was not moving, Jerujen came over to pull me, but I shook off his hand and stepped back step by step, but tears flowed down my face.
Twilight suddenly knelt down, "Princess, don't do this, it's all my fault, you two hurry-" But before the words were finished, a group of people popped out! No masking, just ...... It doesn't seem to be the same as the imaginary Assassin.
At the front, there was a bearded man with a fierce face, and next to him, there was a ...... sitting on a donkey Extremely beautiful woman.
No, it's a man!
The man on the donkey glanced at us indifferently, and finally fixed his eyes on one place, and the hairs on my back immediately stood up, what did I do?
There was a group of people behind them, the only difference from the previous two was that they all had weapons in their hands, either swords, hammers, or ...... There are even people with big knives that chop pig bones! This kind of knife, I have seen it at the pork seller in Flower Town.
It's just that every time I look at a person, my heart drops down a layer. If there were only eighteen floors in hell, then no one else would have been able to find me, because I would have fallen to the ground long ago.
The strong man at the head spoke, "Keep the money and let you live!" ”
It turned out to be a robbery!
A familiar figure stood in front of me, "Ladies and gentlemen, we have just been looted, and the money on our bodies has not been brought out much, this is all my silver taels, and I hope you can let us live." After speaking, he threw the silver taels on his body.
I was dumbfounded, that's not much, it's obviously a lot!
The strong man caught it, shook it in his hand, and turned his head to look at the man on the donkey, but the man looked at me and Twilight. The strong man immediately understood and pointed at us, "And the two of them!" ”
I screamed badly! It seemed like there was nothing left of me except the dagger in my arms.
Twilight shuddered and handed me a sachet while I ...... I had to take off the headdress and earrings on my head and hand them over. These are worth more than silver.
The strong man nodded, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by a voice, "No, as long as silver, don't be a product." "Or, leave people behind." ”
"I'm afraid this won't be as you wish." Jerejing stepped forward, the sword in his hand clenched tightly.
I looked at the man who was hooking his eyebrows, and for a moment I thought he was a dumber person than me. What's the use of a woman coming? The jewelry we had on us was enough for him to exchange a large sum of silver.
"Really?" His nonsensical rhetorical question made people unhappy when they heard it.
I finally couldn't help but speak, "This son, is there a feud between us?" You know, the ones I have can be exchanged for a lot of money. ”
"That's right." He made a look of sudden realization, "The silver and you and I want it, and the others can go." ”
I was stupid, and I looked at his smiling eyebrows and eyes, and I thought he did it on purpose, but I was sure we hadn't met.
Yelujing moved a few steps slightly, as if his leg was not injured, just blocking the man's view, and for a while, no one around spoke again. Later, a man who came from nowhere, and the man attached to the donkey said a few words in his ear, and he glanced at us and said, "Let's go." ”
I was surprised, I don't know what the man told him, but he must have said something that made him suddenly willing to let us go. Afraid that they would repent, I hurriedly set up Twilight Huan and left, and Yelujing also clenched his hands and followed me.
When we finally walked out of the distance, I finally spoke, "Little Er, why is that weird guy willing to let us go?" ”
“…… It should be that your identity has been discovered. Xiao Er's voice was very weak, and suddenly, he was unsteady on his feet and fell to the ground.
I hurriedly went over to help him, and he waved his hand to signal me not to move, only to find that the right side of his stomach was already blood-red...... Just now he was not discovered as a strong ninja, and the injury on his leg must have been more eye-catching.
"Princess, the slave knows a herb to stop bleeding, I'll go find it now." Twilight, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke up and was about to leave, but she obviously still had a foot injury. I glanced back at Xiao Er, his eyes were half-squinted, as if he was going to say something, but he didn't even have the strength to speak.
I motioned to him not to speak or move, "Little Er, you stay here first, and we'll come when we go." Then he turned to Twilight, "I'm with you." "If only I knew what the herbs looked like, I wouldn't have to drag her injured foot to find them.
Helped Twilight Huan to walk a long way, squatting down to pick up snow every time he walked, and now in winter, I don't know what grass will live. "Twilight, that herb grows in winter?" I was suddenly curious.
"Well, it's an herb that grows all year round, and it's green even in winter." Twilight said affirmatively.
I continued to pull around, green, green, but there was a green shadow somewhere, and there was really nothing else except the withered yellow roots.
"Did you find Twilight?" I started to get anxious, I don't know what happened to Yelujing? If it drags on any longer, I don't know if it will bleed too much and die.
"The slave hasn't been found yet...... "Twilight sighed.
After walking a few more steps, Twilight finally exclaimed in surprise, "I found the princess, it's the one in front, there must be one under the black wood." ”
I hurried over, and sure enough, there was a black piece of wood in front of me, and I cleared the snow around it, and then lifted it, but there was nothing but dirt underneath. I was about to turn around and ask Twilight, but there was a sharp pain in the back of my back-
Little by little, I slid to the ground and touched my waist. It was hot, and something was flowing outside, and it seemed like something had just plugged in and pulled it out......
"I'm sorry, princess...... I'm sorry......" said a vague figure in front of him, and walked farther and farther away.
I raised my hand and looked at it, my hands were covered in blood, and as my consciousness faded away, I was still wondering, what the hell had happened? Is that person Twilight?
Why is this happening?
