Chapter 428: Escape
Although Princess Qingying was captured by the Hu people, the Hu people actually wanted to exchange her as a hostage in exchange for the captured Zale, so they didn't do anything to her.
Suo Lekang is a Hu person, but his conduct is quite upright, and he generally does not do anything that violates the righteousness of the rivers and lakes. Originally, several of his subordinates, when they saw Zhizhi's beauty, they all moved their hearts and wanted to violate her body, but they were all stopped by Suo Lekang. Solekang even threatened to kill anyone who dared to touch her. Everyone originally knew that his martial arts were far inferior to Suo Lekang, so naturally no one dared to provoke him.
In other words, as a spy, Solekang's approach is actually a bit too arbitrary and impulsive, and there is no need for such a thing. Because by doing so, he will not only expose his whereabouts, but will also definitely startle the snake, making it more difficult for him to find useful clues. However, the Hu man Zal who was arrested was a disciple of Suo Lekang, and Suo Lekang thought of the relationship between master and apprentice, and could not hinder the request of another apprentice, Hegao, so he made this slightly stupid decision.
However, the matter has come to this point, but it is irreversible.
There is a fire in the cave, so it is also very warm, Zhu Zhizhi is not frozen, except for a little hunger, everything else is fine, and he is sleeping soundly at this time.
Zhu Zhizhi was in a daze, and suddenly heard someone calling her, she slowly opened her eyes, but saw that a head was already close to her face. Zhu Zhizhi thought that those Hu people had bad intentions again, and they were about to violate her at this time, so they exclaimed loudly: "Go away, don't touch me!" β
"Shhhh Sister...... Be...... It's ...... me."
Zhu Zhizhi heard a woman's voice, and her teeth were still trembling, she looked very weak, and she only felt a little curious in her heart, so she opened her eyes and looked at it, but she was taken aback, it turned out that the person who suddenly appeared in front of her turned out to be Han Xiang, a poisonous fly mushroom.
Zhu Zhizhi took a closer look, but found that Han Xiang was very embarrassed at this time. Her body kept trembling, her teeth were also "gurgling", her whole body was covered with ice flowers, and there were several red and swollen frostbites on her hands and face.
Han Xiang, the poisonous fly mushroom, helped Zhu Zhizhi untie the knot with all his strength with his hands that were already red and swollen and couldn't stop trembling at all, and then immediately came to the fire to warm up.
Zhu Zhizhi broke free of his hands, and then untied the other ropes on his body, so he hurriedly took off his coat, flew over, and put the coat on Han Xiang's body.
Zhu Zhizhi didn't know the situation for a while, but when she saw that the two wicked people in the cave were killed, and Han Xiang was so embarrassed, she roughly guessed that Han Xiang did it to save herself.
Zhu Zhizhi put her coat on Han Xiang, but when she saw that Han Xiang was still trembling, she couldn't help but be moved to tears.
Zhu Zhizhi hurriedly went to the baggage of those Hu people, found two slightly clean coats, and put them on Han Xiang's body together, and then asked with great concern: "Sister Han, are you better?" Zhu Zhizhi said, but her voice was already crying, but not because she was sad, but because she was moved.
She suddenly discovered that this woman, who usually lives a very dissolute life, is still a person who values love and righteousness.
To put it bluntly, she and Han Xiang only have grievances and no affection, but she can actually spend a whole night on the ice in the cold wind and cold night in order to save herself. This alone can already reflect her qualities.
One bad apple wonβt spoil the whole bunch.
Perhaps, everyone has his own unique way of life, but these flaws in life do not hide his ideological virtues.
Thinking of this, Zhu Zhizhi finally understood why Han Xiang would take risks for her husband who shared the same bed and dreams. Since she can ignore life and death for an outsider who is not related to her, it is not uncommon for her to take risks for her husband.
Han Xiang only roasted the fire for a while, only felt a little better, and immediately said: "You can't stay here for a long time, we have to leave immediately." β
Zhu Zhizhi saw that her hands and face had been frostbitten by the cold wind, so she said, "You can bake it for a while!" Let's go later. β
"No, those few hunters and firewood should be back, we must leave immediately, no one can leave if it's late." Han Xiang said, but handed the dagger to Han Xiang again, picked up another steel knife by himself, and then slowly walked out of the hole with Zhu Zhizhi's support.
Before, she was eager to save people, but Han Xiang didn't pay attention at all, her hands and face were already frostbitten. After that, I fought hard with those two people, and naturally I couldn't feel it anymore. When he let go of Zhizhi and saw the fire again, he realized that he was actually too cold.
Zhu Zhizhi saw that Han Xiang's hands were red and swollen, so she only used her own hands to hold them tightly, and then helped her body and slowly went down the mountain.
Han Xiang watched the five people go out of the cave, according to her calculations, the five people should be back soon, so she didn't have much time to roast the fire, she only felt that she was a little warmer, so she immediately left with Zhizhi.
Those people's martial arts are not weak, she can't fight five with one at all, and Zhu Zhizhi has no such ability, so they can only escape from this mountain as soon as possible.
When Han Xiang followed those Hu people out, he was unprepared, and he didn't even wear a thick coat, but at this time, he was cold in the frost all night, and he was naturally not lightly frozen, and he didn't even have the strength to walk.
They went down the mountain along the avenue, and after walking less than three miles, Han Xiang trembled all over again, and his mind was a little confused, and he couldn't walk at all. However, at this time, in the cave behind, there was already the sound of Hu people's abuse and resentment, and then seven torches flew and seemed to chase down the mountain.
"Girl, don't run, hide!" Han Xiang still didn't completely lose his mind, and only whispered to Zhu Zhizhi.
Although Zhu Zhizhi is not good at martial arts, she is very smart, which she has already thought. So she helped Han Xiang and only abandoned the road down the mountain, but went west across the mountainside.
Zhu Zhizhi didn't know where this was, and he didn't know what kind of mountain it was. But she guessed that when those Hu people saw that she was rescued, they would definitely chase down the mountain along the mountain road, and they could just run to the mountainside, and only in this way could they temporarily avoid the pursuit of those people.
But Han Xiang's legs were weak and she couldn't walk anymore, Zhu Zhizhi only felt that the body in her arms was getting heavier and heavier, and in the end, she couldn't help herself.
"Girl, their target is you, you go first. They caught me, and they wouldn't do anything to me. Han Xiang couldn't walk anymore, so he pushed Zhizhi hard.
"No, my sister is in danger for Zhizhi, how can Zhizhi abandon her sister? This kind of ruthless and unrighteous thing, Zhizhi will never be able to do. Zhu Zhizhi wept and said.
"Huh! I can't imagine that you, a pampered little princess who has been pampered since childhood, also understand the righteousness of the rivers and lakes! Han Xiang said, but actually showed a smile.
"You already know who I am?" Zhizhi asked.
"Huh! What's so hard about that? Han Xiang asked rhetorically.
"Sister, take a rest first, and we'll go together later." Zhu Zhizhi hugged Han Xiang's body tightly, just to make her warmer.
"We can't rest, they'll soon find out that we're not coming down the mountain, or we'll be searching the mountain soon." Han Xiang shook her head weakly and said.
"So what are we going to do?" Zhu Zhizhi asked.
"You have to find a secret hiding place and hide first." Han Xiang replied.
Han Xiang rested for a while, and finally struggled again, only with Zhu Zhizhi's support, and continued to escape for his life in the mountains.
In fact, Zhu Zhizhi was captured, not because Suolekang did it intentionally, but when Suo Lekang took people to check the terrain in front of the palace gate, he happened to encounter the fifth line and left Zhu Zhizhi behind. It stands to reason that Solekang should actually avoid moving, but in order to save his apprentice Zale, he actually tied Zhu Zhizhi with a hot brain.
Although the mountain is not large, it is densely wooded and overgrown with weeds, and there is no road on the mountainside, so it is very difficult to move forward. What's more, Han Xiang's body was still very weak at this time, she had been poisoned before, although the poison was resolved, but after all, it also hurt her body. Today, I was frozen for another night, and my body is weak and normal.
The sky is slightly bright, and the morning glow has appeared.
In the distance, the glow is auspicious, but it seems to be burned red by the flames, and it looks a different kind of beauty.
The two of them were in a hurry to flee for their lives, but they also unexpectedly saw such a beautiful sunrise.
"It's so beautiful! It's the first time I've been outside the city to see the sunrise! Zhu Zhizhi suddenly looked at the morning glow in the sky and sighed.
"Huh! Then you have to thank those Hubang barbarians. Han Xiang chuckled.
The two looked at Chaoxia and were stunned for a while, and suddenly there was a voice in the distance.
At this time, in this place, there will definitely be no one else, it must be those Hu people chasing after them.
"It's so fast, I won't even let my sisters watch the sunrise." Zhu Zhizhi said with pity.
"Let's go! In the future, if you have the opportunity, my sister will accompany you to Mount Tai to watch the sunrise, which is really the most beautiful sunrise in the world. Han Xiang said, and continued to run for his life with Zhu Zhizhi.
They were moving slowly, and the voices behind them were getting closer. The two of them were anxious, and suddenly looked at a huge old tree in front of them, and the old tree was covered with various vines such as creepers.
Han Xiang saw that the tree was extremely huge and there were many forks on it, so he thought that the middle of the tree must be hollow, so he said to Zhizhi, "Let's hide in the middle of the big tree." β
When Zhu Zhizhi heard it, she really thought it was a good suggestion, she should climb to the top of the branch first to take a look, and it was really a hollow tree. So Zhu Zhizhi pulled Han Xiang up together, and then went down from the hollow place in the middle. Zhu Zhizhi was in better health, so naturally she went down first, Han Xiang was not in good health, so Zhu Zhizhi went down and then carefully took her next.
After a while, the sound of the chasing soldiers gradually approached, and it seemed to be around them, and the two of them did not dare to come out, just for fear of being discovered by these Hu people.
After a while, the sound faded away, but in a moment it returned. This was repeated several times, but the two of them did not dare to come out at all, but only fell asleep next to each other in the middle of the big tree.
