Chapter 3 Escape from Distress

When Xu Taiyan woke up, it was still that room in his eyes. Touching his forehead with his hand in a panic, it was really smooth like an ordinary person, without any traces.

Hurriedly rushed out of bed, came to the mirror, and saw the person in the mirror, but it was like an ordinary person, with two eyes and one mouth, which was very normal. Xu Taiyan didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a while, to have such a divine law, the person who put himself under house arrest here must not be an ordinary nobleman.

You have to get out and go home. Gotta figure out what's going on.

But there has never been a chance, Xu Taiyan has been awake for several days, but he has been under house arrest in this room, and he won't even let the door out. I didn't see anyone. The old man I saw last time is no longer there.

Now that Xu Taiyan can think about it, it seems that it has always been without warning.

In the past, in the palace, I was more sensitive than ordinary people, and I could often inexplicably know the weather changes and the nature of animals. I still remember that the queen mother had a cat, and the cat had a very quirky personality, and even the queen mother was not allowed to masturbate. But he is obedient to himself, and he seems to be able to feel his temperament.

Not only cats, but also always boring in the palace as a child, there are often fun birds, often chirping in front of their windows, very interesting.

At that time, my father was also very surprised, but at that time, his appearance was like an ordinary person, and he did not have a third eye. My father thought that I was gifted and psychic, and if I cultivated it well, it would definitely be a blessing for the people in the world. Thinking about it this way, when my father was seriously ill, he wanted to pass on the throne to himself despite the opposition of everyone.

It's a pity that he is not a person who is blessed in the world, maybe he is a person of great calamity, otherwise, why did the Stygian Mountain collapse when his father and queen mother wanted to pass the throne to him. It's all my own fault, so I brought the disaster to my father and queen mother.

No matter what, you have to run out and figure it all out.

But there was never a chance, day after day, Xu Taiyan has been under house arrest in this room for more than half a month. No one has the patience and perseverance to stay here any longer.

Full of anxiety, daily observation, this place is remote, and few people come here. It's just that there are about twenty or thirty people guarding the door.

I'm not sure, after all, there may be something hidden. But it really didn't give Xu Taiyan a chance.

But in the past few days, Xu Taiyan can clearly feel that the atmosphere on these people is not the same as usual. There is no usual rigor, more fun and lively. It's like a big holiday. Xu Taiyan remembered.

Perhaps it is the country of Sikou, an annual grand hunting festival that lasts for seven days, hunting and drinking every day. This may be an opportunity, but to Xu Taiyan's disappointment, although the people guarding outside are obviously relaxed, there are a large number of people, but they seem to have increased the number of people.

Just when Xu Taiyan was very annoyed about this, the old man who hadn't appeared for a long time came again.

"Child, it's stuffy. Take you out and see. "The old national teacher has looked like a young man for many days, without the weirdness of the third eye, but his appearance is different from ordinary people, and he looks so dazzling. The long hair is black like a waterfall, but the skin is so white that it is crystal clear, like a little snow fox in the wild, and it does not look like an ordinary person, but like an elf.

"Can I go out?" Xu Taiyan raised his head slightly, and looked at the old man with some cringe and blankness.

"Of course, today is a great day." The old man touched the child's head lovingly, but the little snow fox was unexpectedly afraid.

Xu Taiyan was asked to change into a grand holiday costume. Dressed in pure white, the hem is embroidered with a large carving pattern that is a symbol of dignity only in the royal family of Si Kou Kingdom. They were also required to wear a veil and not be shown their true faces.

followed the old man out of the door, but saw the mysterious woman waiting outside the door for the last time. This time, however, she was wearing a black robe with the Holy Light logo painted on it.

Xu Taiyan remembered that this should be the symbol of Si Kouguo's national teacher.

No wonder, I should have thought of it a long time ago, and even the leader of the Sikou Kingdom should have been alarmed. In this way, it is even more difficult to escape.

"Master." Mu Kunyao bowed to the old man. When he looked up and saw Xu Taiyan in a gorgeous costume, he was shocked, so he withdrew his expression and stepped aside.

Even when Si Kou Guoshi saw the old man who was about to salute, Xu Taiyan looked at the old man standing next to him. Before he could think about everything, he was taken to a hunting ground.

The flags were rippling, the surrounding troops were heavily guarded, and there were constantly deafening calls and sounds in the middle of the field. Xu Taiyan followed the old man to a high stand. After walking up to the stands, there is a sacrificial platform.

The sacrifice has not yet begun, and we have to wait under the stands again.

"You follow me, don't be reckless." The old man turned back to Xu Taiyan and asked.

"Hmm." Xu Taiyan observed his surroundings. It's a little far away, and I can't see it clearly.

After a while, I saw a middle-aged man dressed in the costume of King Sikou walking up to the stands. Behind him are two men and two women, looking at the costumes, it should be the queen of Si Kou Kingdom, and two princes, and a princess.

They performed ceremonies in the stands, burned incense, and offered wine.

Xu Taiyan was a little panicked, he didn't know what would happen in a while, but he had to seize this rare opportunity to escape.

But this grand scene is still heavily guarded.

The stands were a little far away, I don't know what was going on, it seemed that all of a sudden, out of nowhere, there was an assassin out of nowhere, and there was chaos around the emperor, and some of the maids and attendants all became killers with swords.

The surrounding guards were all chaotic and hurried to escort them.

When the old national teacher saw it, he was also shocked, and hurriedly ordered, "Kun Yao, go and see what's going on." ”

"Yes." The female national teacher was anxious, and hurriedly pulled out of the stands.

Xu Taiyan took advantage of the chaos around him, turned around and fled. While running, I took off my grand clothes, but fortunately this is a hunting ground, surrounded by grassy mountains and forests.

Xu Taiyan can't care so much, if he can see the road, he just runs, there may be pursuers behind him, or there may be no pursuers, he has no time to take care of it, he just thinks about running farther and running farther. Hurry back to your home country.

"Stop!" "Stop!" A large number of pursuers behind him were still in hot pursuit.

Xu Taiyan ran exhausted, but found that there were still pursuers behind him who couldn't get rid of him, and he desperately ran into the depths of the grass and jungle, he had to run, otherwise he would never have a chance again.

The path along the edge of the cliff is steep, and if you are not careful, you will roll down the cliff.

Xu Taiyan gritted his teeth, but still chose to run to the edge of the cliff, no matter how steep and dangerous the terrain was, he couldn't be caught back. The gravel was trampled on, and it kept falling towards the edge of the cliff.

Maybe the next one will be yourself. Xu Taiyan forced himself not to look at his feet, and ran forward desperately, shaking off the pursuers behind him.

"Ahh In Xu Taiyan's panic, he did not step steadily, and stumbled and rolled down the cliff.

The world spun around and he lost consciousness.

When Xu Taiyan woke up, it was already dark. It seems to be at the bottom of a cliff, with a diaphragm stone underneath, and the sound of water not far away, it should be a small stream.

I struggled to get up, but found that my hand was broken and I couldn't support the exertion. And there is no strength in the left leg, where the calf and stomach hurt badly, it should be injured. I was chilling, and the cold wind blew like a ghost crying wolf in gusts of cold nights.

Xu Taiyan still wanted to get up, but he still didn't have the strength. A few steps away is the stream, want to climb over, drink saliva, sober up. But his mind was groggy and completely out of control.

I want to move, but I can't.

Could it be that he finally escaped and died here?

I don't know how long it took, Xu Taiyan saw in a daze that above the cliff, there seemed to be a huge bird falling.

No, looking at the speed of the fall, it should be a person.

Xu Taiyan was frightened, but found that the person's descent slowed down. Some sparks can be seen in the dark. It should be a spark from the collision and friction of hard objects.

The man was getting closer and closer to the bottom of the cliff, and Xu Taiyan finally saw it clearly. The source of the subtle spark was the collision of the sword with the cliff rock, and the man was using the sword to slow down his fall. In the end, it landed on the ground as lightly as a mountain bird.

It was too dark at night to see the man's appearance, or he was dressed in black, and only saw the silver sword against the crystal moonlight. The knife was drawn into the sheath, and even the last light was gone.

Xu Taiyan's brain hesitated hesitantly, should he speak up and let someone save him, or try to pray that this person will not find out about his existence. Apparently before it was his turn to make a decision, the man had already spotted him and walked towards him.

The man approached like a Yama, standing two paces away from him, blocking the moonlight, and a huge black shadow enveloped him like an iron tie.

Xu Taiyan wanted to look up as clearly as possible, but found that the man was dressed in black, tightly covered, and only two eyes were exposed, but in the night, he was like a leopard's eyes, powerfully threatening and terrifying.

Xu Taiyan saw the man draw his sword and point it at himself. I had to prayed in panic, but my voice was so faint that I couldn't hear it, "Help me, save me." ”

The man seemed to hesitate for a moment, looked at the thirteen or fourteen-year-old child in front of him, and finally turned around to leave.

Xu Taiyan saw that the man withdrew his sword, let go of himself, and didn't know where the strength came from, he reached out and grabbed the man's foot, "Please, save me." ”

The man struggled, but did not break free from his grip. Dying people always use all their strength to grasp the last straw.

I was about to swing my knife and cut off the hand that was in the way, but I saw the child curled up under his feet, as thin as an animal, and finally did not get down.

Instead, he chose to raise his feet, broke away from Xu Taiyan's hand, and walked out.

Xu Taiyan desperately wanted to open his eyes and see his weak hand, maybe he was really going to die here.
