Chapter 172: Return

Chu Luoyi and Butterfly Dance had been waiting in the cave, and after carefully scrutinizing things a few times, they didn't have too many clues, they looked up at the gradually rising sun, and couldn't help but squint their eyes, and the sun finally rose.

Seeing Chu Luoyi open his eyes, Butterfly Dance said tentatively, "Do you know the whereabouts of the Fourth Highness?" Isn't he with you? ”

Chu Luoyi swept over the woman in front of her, looking at her young and vigorous appearance, showing endless vitality everywhere, love or hate was so pure on her face, even her disgust made her feel vigorous, she had to feel old again, her face had not changed, but her heart had become a sea of vicissitudes.

"Initially together, then separated."

"How can they be separated? Which way did he go? Who was the assassination in the woods against last night? Butterfly asked uneasily.

Chu Luoyi slowly spoke: "Target me." ”

"What about the Fourth Highness? Where are the Four Highnesses? How could he be separated from you? Butterfly Wu leaned over to Chu Luoyi and asked anxiously.

Chu Luoyi was just silent, not knowing how to answer, looking at the bare barrier, he couldn't forget the man's resolute back, Beiliuhai, are you still alive?

Butterfly Dance was a little anxious: "If the assassin is aimed at you, Brother Hai will definitely stay by your side, unless... Unless..."

As if she had guessed something, Butterfly Wu looked at Chu Luoyi in front of her with red eyes, a little more angry.

Chu Luoyi was still silent, and had to admit that the young and delicate woman in front of her was smart, even though she had been held in the palm of her hand by her parents, whether she was arrogant or willful, she couldn't hide her innate intelligence.

Butterfly Dance spoke again: "Brother Hai loves you so much, why don't you want to love her!" If something happens to him this time, I won't let you go! ”

As soon as the words of the butterfly dance fell, there was a sound of rustling footsteps overhead.

"Lord Wang, this side has also been searched, except for the corpses of the guards, there is no trace of others."

"Look ahead." Xiangjiang Wang frowned and said, a thick worry could be seen in his voice.

When Butterfly heard this familiar voice, she hurriedly came back to her senses, stood up, and jumped up hard in this deep hole: "Dad! Father! I'm here! I'm here! ”

The crisp voice was like a yellow bird, melodious and full of infinite vitality, no matter how sad she was, she could still dispel the gloom and dampness of this room.

King Xiangjiang soon heard a familiar voice, and immediately led his men and horses around the slope and approached the entrance of the cave from the other side.

Turned over and dismounted, looked down at the mouth of the cave, and saw a red-clothed butterfly dance beckoning to her: "Dance! Dance! ”

The king of Xiangjiang was excited for a while, originally he didn't care too much about the butterfly dance last night, after all, this child has been wild since he was a child, and he didn't pay attention to it when he jumped up and down, but along the way, seeing the tragedy of this place, his heart was really hanging.

"Quick, rope!" Immediately ordered someone to put down the rope and pulled his daughter up little by little.

Then, his eyes fell on the woman who had been sitting in place and not moving like a mountain, and the king of Xiangjiang was a little surprised: "Concubine Luo." ”

After hesitating for a moment, he instructed several guards on the side: "You go down, dig out a few stone steps, and help Concubine Luo Niangniang come up." ”

"No need, just put the rope down." Chu Luoyi refused, if it was really a stone staircase, I don't know how long it would take to get out.

The wrist-thick rope was thrown down again, and the King of Xiangjiang didn't have time to pay attention to the anxious butterfly dance standing on the side, and kept watching the situation in the cave.

Chu Luoyi tied the rope around his waist, then held the rope tightly with both hands, and hung upside down in the air, stepping on the almost smooth rock wall, climbing up little by little.

The rough rope carried all the weight of the body, rubbing against the wound on the waist, and there was a cold pain.

When approaching his golden sword, Chu Luoyi tightly pulled the rope with one hand, and reached for the little sword inserted in the rock crevice with the other.

Looking at such a scene, King Xiangjiang's heart was raised to his throat, he was not blind, he could see that the situation of this Concubine Luo was much worse than his daughter, and the blood stains on her body alone were enough to shock everyone.

Immediately turned back to a few people and ordered: "Quick, close the rope, you must tighten it!" If something happens to Concubine Luo, you will all lose your heads! ”

As soon as the Xiaoxia knife was pulled out, the rope suddenly fell rapidly, and the whole person was thrown off the moment it fell, Chu Luoyi's hand holding the rope was too tight, and the flesh of the palm was ground up, oozing a trace of bright red blood.

King Xiangjiang immediately reached out and grabbed the rope, and scolded angrily at several guards behind him: "What are you doing! ”

Several guards were frightened, and one of them said tremblingly: "Subordinate.. There's a pit behind the subordinate's feet... I don't check it for a while..."

"You don't want your heads anymore!" King Xiangjiang was a little red-eyed, if Concubine Luo had an accident in her hands, I was afraid that someone would make a fuss.

Fortunately, many people kept pulling the rope, but Chu Luoyi didn't fall down directly, but this toss, the whole person was thrown heavily on the rock wall, 'Bang! A sound made the king of Xiangjiang frightened.

She was in a cold sweat from a huge pain, as if someone had fallen from a high altitude, and threw it to the ground, and the sharp edges and corners of the rock wall pierced into her skin, making the beads of sweat on her face flow down like water.

Hung in the air by a rope, his whole body swayed in the air, and when he got close to the wall again, Chu Luoyi reached out and grabbed a raised stone, leaned his back against the rock wall, panting, and then stabilized his figure.

"Concubine Luo, how is it?" King Xiangjiang said anxiously.

"It's fine."

The guards continued to pull the rope upwards, one by one, and only then did Chu Luoyi reach the ground smoothly.

"See Concubine Luo." King Xiangjiang and the others bowed down one after another, and Butterfly Dance was full of anxiety on the side, ignoring it.

The warm sunlight shrouded his body, in stark contrast to the gloomy cave, Chu Luoyi was a little blinded by the dazzling sunlight for a while: "Thank you Lord for coming to the rescue." ”

"This is the duty of Weichen." King Xiangjiang said.

Chu Luoyi turned over and got on his horse, and galloped all the way with Xiangjiang Wang and others, wanting to return to the school as soon as possible.

About half an hour later, the group finally reached the exit of the forest, and after leaving the forest, they went straight to the school grounds.

Everyone led by Emperor Beiyan and Empress was waiting in the school field, a little noisy, as if something had happened.

"King Xiangjiang is back! The King of Xiangjiang is back! ”

I don't know whose shout it was, and everyone's eyes were cast on it.

Everyone dispersed the blocked road, and Chu Luoyi saw a bloodstained Beiliuyun at a glance, along with the black-red figure on the stretcher next to him, Beiliuhai.

Turning over and dismounting, he did not walk directly to the stretcher, but stood in place and watched the situation in the distance.

Butterfly Wu turned over and dismounted with red eyes, pushed away the imperial doctor, and rushed over directly: "Beiliuhai, Beiliuhai, don't scare me!" ”

Looking at the scars all over her body, Butterfly Dance's tears fell uncontrollably, and she fell on Beiliuhai's chest and cried bitterly.

King Xiangjiang pulled her aside: "Don't delay the imperial doctor to heal the Fourth Highness." ”

Chu Luoyi clenched his fingers, looked at Emperor Beiyan, who had an unkind face, and walked up slowly, his voice a little choked: "Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Beiyan first looked at the embarrassed Chu Luoyi, and then took her in his arms and patted her shoulder gently: "It's okay, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly." ”

Chu Luoyi stayed quietly on the side, walked to the side of the stretcher with Emperor Beiyan, looked at the man who seemed to be in a coma and had been far away from the noise of the world, stared at his eyes, gritted his teeth, and did not shed tears.

"How's Hai'er doing?" Emperor Beiyan said in a deep voice.

The imperial doctor shook his head and said: "The situation of the Fourth Highness is not good, he has lost too much blood, and he is extremely injured, if it is not for his profound skills, and the Nine Highnesses have used his internal strength to hang a breath, the Fourth Highness is afraid that it has been..."

"Make sure that the Fourth Highness is okay!" Emperor Beiyan's voice was a little tired.

The imperial doctor nodded with an ugly face, and began to deal with Beiliuhai's wounds and sent people to make a decoction.

Butterfly Dance had a pair of red eyes, looking at the man with a cold expression, and couldn't take his eyes off it for a long time, why was he still handsome when he went, but he became unconscious when he came back.

Butterfly Dance smiled lightly, she finally saw his soft eyebrows and eyes, even if it had nothing to do with her, she still felt satisfied, she looked at him lying there quietly, letting the breeze pass by, but there was relief in her expression, gentle and bright, like ice turned into water, with a refreshing clarity.

"The North Flowing Sea. Please... Don't die.." Butterfly Dance's tears were like pearls with broken threads, slipping down drop by drop, allowing the imperial doctor to drag her away, but she always clung to the stretcher and refused to let go.

Chu Luoyi retracted his gaze, lowered his eyes, hid the flush under his eyes, and the hand hidden in his sleeve was always trembling slightly.

The queen's gaze swept over Chu Luoyi and said, "Sister Concubine Luo really worries Your Majesty, this night, Your Majesty can be easy to find." ”

Chu Luoyi raised his eyes and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's concern, the concubine body is naturally in my heart." ”

"So many guards haven't found Sister Luo, I don't know where Sister Luo lives? How did you spend the night? Why did the riding clothes disappear? "After all, the queen couldn't hold back, and she didn't want to give up all her efforts overnight.

Emperor Beiyan was also waiting for Chu Luoyi to reply, and the King of Xiangjiang spoke at this time: "Weichen was found in a cave with Concubine Luo and her little girl, and there is a slope around the cave, presumably the two of them fell into the cave. ”

Emperor Beiyan nodded, and Chu Luoyi continued to explain: "Actually, what the prince said was only later, after the sky gradually darkened, the concubine wanted to return to the school, but unexpectedly found that the riding clothes on her body would glow, and then she was chased and killed by the guards in the name of capturing female ghosts, and she was embarrassed all the way and almost died. ”

Bei Liuyun presented the riding clothes in his hand in front of Emperor Beiyan in a timely manner: "This was discovered by Erchen when he was searching the mountains and forests, and he vaguely remembered that it was worn by Concubine Luo, so he brought it back with him." ”

Emperor Beiyan took the royal blue riding suit, only to see that there was a circle of cold serrations at the neckline, and he simply made no secret of his desire to kill people!

"Concubine Rou! Why does this costume shine in the night, why does this neckline have such a mechanism that wants to kill people! What do you explain? Emperor Beiyan turned his head to look at Concubine Rou, who had been absent-minded all along.
