Jade Without Fragrance

   Chapter 264 Leaving the Mountain

  The man fell less than ten feet away from the forest, and a pair of falcon-like eyes stared straight at her on his twisted face, which was terrifying.

  Lin Hao looked past him and smiled brightly at the young man who came running.

   A few moments later, Qi Shuo came to the front and bent over to help her up.

   "Ah," he shouted these two words with restraint, his voice trembling.

  Lin Hao raised his mouth high: "I'm fine. Ah Shuo, you came just in time."

   "Anywhere hurt?"

   "No, I'm just thirsty and hungry, and have no strength." Lin Hao's smile suddenly stopped, "Are you injured?"

   It was early winter, and Qi Shuo was wearing a dark blue quilted silk jacket. At this time, the clothes were scratched everywhere, and there were patches of dark red blood.

  Qi Shuo glanced at him casually and said with a smile, "This blood is not mine. I met a lone wolf last night, and it was splashed when I killed the wolf."

  Lin Hao heard the words and breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good—"

   Before he finished speaking, Qi Shuo hugged her to the side, and at the same time, the longbow held in his left hand blocked out, and the hidden arrow that flew silently was knocked in the opposite direction and plunged into the man's neck.

  The man was already holding his breath, and immediately spit out a mouthful of blood, completely motionless.

  Qi Shuo walked over, Shi Qing's boots stopped in front of the man, and looked at the man's breathless eyes: "I planned to stay with you for a few days."

   When he shot that arrow, he deliberately missed an inch. He wanted to leave a living room to ask if he had any accomplices, so he naturally prevented this man from dying.

   "Ashuo, what's going on outside?"

  The man is dead, so Lin Hao can safely ask about the outside world.

   "I found out that something happened to you yesterday, and I discussed with the old lady that they will stay put. I brought three guards into the mountain and dispersed to find you."

  Lin was surprised: "Did you spend the night in the mountains?"

   In this season, the prey is reduced, the wild beasts such as wolves, tigers and leopards become more fierce, and the deep mountains at night are full of dangers.

   "Don't worry, they all have the power to protect themselves."

  Lin Hao gave him a look: "I think it's too dangerous for you to rush into the mountain."

   "Otherwise, how will I find you." The young man looked at her with a gentle smile on his lips.

  Lin Hao listened to these words as sweet as honey in his heart, and showed a big smile: "Yeah, thank you for coming to me."

   For the rest of her life, her lover met, and her luck seemed to be good all the time after her rebirth.

   "Ah, did this villain kidnap two people?"

  Lin Hao was startled: "How do you know?"

  Since Ah Shuo entered the mountain yesterday and did not go out again, he should not know that Zhu Jiayu and Chi Caiyun were kidnapped.

   "How did you think I found you?" Qi Shuo swept away the man on the ground and smiled, "I followed him."

   he said, handing over something.

  Lin Hao was both surprised and delighted: "My dagger?"

"I found this dagger in the grass, I searched the vicinity carefully, and then found the cave. When I went in, I saw that there was no one inside, and there were three ropes scattered on the ground, so I guessed that the villain had kidnapped other people besides you. After that, I left the cave and planned to continue looking for you, but I didn't expect to meet this person first, so I quietly followed behind him."

   Wuyin Mountain is too big, and instead of looking around like headless flies, the chance of finding someone with the hijacker is undoubtedly higher. Even if he can't find it if he takes a step back, at least he puts the villain under his nose, so that he can't hurt Lin Hao who escaped.

   "No wonder the arrow is so timely." Lin Hao looked at Qi Shuo with bright eyes, like a star in the sky.

   A sudden shout came: "Ah Hao-"

   Lin Er, who was heartbroken like a deer, looked over with a condensed smile on her lips.

   Zhu Jiayu dashed over with the hem of her skirt and hugged Lin Hao: "great, I thought you were caught by the villain..."

   After that, I cried uncontrollably, but it was tears of joy after being saved.

  Lin Hao calmed down a lot because he talked with Qi Shuo for a while, patted Zhu Jiayu and asked, "Ayu, is Miss Chi with you?"

   Zhu Jiayu stopped crying and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "No... I heard your reminder at the time, my mind was blank and I only knew to run. Later, I fell and calmed down, and came back to find you."

   Speaking of this, Zhu Jiayu's tears fell even more fiercely: "I think, if something happens to you, even if I avoid the villain, I can't live, so I might as well be with you..."

  Lin Hao raised his sleeves to wipe Zhu Jiayu's tears, and comforted softly: "It's all right."

   Qi Shuo's expression was a little subtle.

   This girl who wants to live and die with Ah Hao seems to be from the Uncle's Mansion in Yichun, right?

   "Let's go find Miss Chi."

  Zhu Jiayu nodded, then felt so embarrassed to cry in front of Qi Shuo, blushed and thanked Fu Fu.

   "Wait a minute." Qi Shuo motioned for the two to turn their backs.

  Lin Hao guessed Qi Shuo's plan, but Zhu Jiayu didn't know.

   Could it be that Prince Jing is picking up the villain's clothes - Zhu Jiayu almost turned around as soon as this bold guess came up.

   After a while, the sharp and long whistle sounded, causing the nearby birds to fly away.

   "Let's go. If the guards who follow me into the mountain are not too far away, they will come over when they hear the whistle, and take the body out."

   Zhu Jiayu couldn't help but glanced at the corpse on the ground. He didn't dare to look too closely, and his eyes fell on the gentle and elegant Prince Jing.

  Cough, she must have heard it wrong.

  The three of them rushed to the place where they hid before. When they got there, they couldn't tell the direction of Chi Caiyun's escape. Lin Hao simply put his hands to his lips and called out, "Miss Chi—"

   The crisp and long voice spread, causing a pair of hares to run quickly.

   "I'm coming." Zhu Jiayu took a deep breath and shouted, "Miss Chi—"

  Lin was calmed down after a while.

   Zhu Jiayu blushed: "I didn't expect the sound to be a bit loud..."

   "I'm here—" Chi Caiyun stood up and waved vigorously.

   She was not far from where she was hiding.

   "I couldn't run anymore, and I couldn't run away from the gangster no matter how hard I tried, so I just stopped running and hid here."

   "Then you didn't see us when we came over just now?" Zhu Jiayu asked quickly.

   Now it was Chi Caiyun's turn to blush: "I've been burying my face in my knees, I don't dare to look anywhere, I only dare to stand up when I hear your voice."

  Lin Hao and Zhu Jiayu looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

   is something Chi-girl would do.

   "Did this righteous man save us?" Chi Caiyun's curious eyes fell on Qi Shuo.

   "This is Prince Jing, my fiancé-in-law." Lin Hao introduced generously.

   Qi Shuo raised his lips slightly: "Go to the thief first."

  Chi Caiyun walked behind and asked Zhu Jiayu quietly, "What about the villain?"

   "I was shot to death by an arrow from Prince Jing."

  Chi Caiyun hissed and whispered, "I really can't tell."

   Several people returned to the place where the man died, and two guards waited for them.

  Qi Shuo explained, and gave the dry food and water they carried to the three of Lin Hao, and when their physical strength recovered, they went out of the mountain.
