After the prince was reborn, he forced me to marry him and took me into the East Palace

"Puff——" The soldier was kicked away, knocking down dozens of soldiers behind him.

"Boom-"

After several muffled sounds, there were cries of pain one after another.

Gu Jingheng's eyes were determined. He stepped on the chest of a fallen soldier and used the force to leap towards Nan Yuan.

"not good!"

Seeing this, General Li instantly realized that something was wrong and hurriedly shouted and ordered his men to stop it.

However, it was too late, Gu Jingheng had already appeared in front of Nan Yuan.

The distance between Gu Jingheng and Nan Yuan was so close that they could almost feel each other's breath. Their eyes met, as if there were thousands of words to say.

He reached out to wipe the slightly dried blood from the corner of Nan Yuan's mouth, but he forgot that his hands were covered in blood, and the more he wiped, the more blood there was.

Looking at Nan Yuan's face stained with tears and blood, his heart was filled with helplessness and bitterness.

"Don't be afraid, I'll take you away." Gu Jingheng held Nan Yuan's waist, but because his hands were powerless, he could only look at Nan Yuan and said, "Hold me tight."

Nan Yuan's eyes were filled with tears. She listened to Gu Jingheng and hugged him. This was the only thing she could do at the moment.

The surrounding soldiers also got up and prepared to besiege Gu Jingheng.

"Catch them!" General Li's order was like a thunder, breaking the extremely tense atmosphere.

The soldiers responded and rushed towards Gu Jingheng.

Gu Jingheng suppressed the pain, snatched a knife and held it tightly in his hand.

However, his palm was pierced, and the severe pain caused his hand to tremble constantly, making it almost impossible for him to hold the knife.

"Kill!" someone in the crowd shouted, and the soldiers rushed towards Gu Jingheng like crazy.

Although Gu Jingheng was very skilled, his strength was gradually exhausted as he faced the soldiers who were pouring in like a tide.

He was stabbed several times and blood was splattered everywhere.

However, what was amazing was that although Gu Jingheng was seriously injured, Nan Yuan in his arms was safe and sound and not hurt at all.

He gritted his teeth, tore open a hole, and rushed out of the encirclement with Nan Yuan.

They ran all the way, but found a cliff in front of them and pursuers were chasing them closely behind them.

Gu Jingheng took a deep breath, gripped the knife in his hand, turned around and looked at the pursuers behind him.

But the pursuers did not get close, and Gu Jingheng realized that something was wrong.

As expected, a sharp sound of breaking wind cut through the air, and countless arrows poured towards Gu Jingheng like a rainstorm.

Gu Jingheng tightly grasped the knife in his hand and managed to block it.

"Shoot that woman!" A cold command sounded, and the other party's target turned to Nan Yuan.

Gu Jingheng's heart tightened and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

He swung the knife in his hand vigorously, trying to block the arrows that were directed towards Nan Yuan, but he was already a little confused.

The blade in his hand was finally knocked off by the arrow after continuous attacks.

With a "whoosh", another arrow flew towards Nan Yuan's forehead.

"Nan Yuan!"

A look of fear flashed across Gu Jingheng's eyes, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

He pounced on Nan Yuan and held her tightly in his arms.

In a flash, the arrows flew past their bodies, bringing up a gust of cold wind.

Before Gu Jingheng could breathe a sigh of relief, another arrow shot towards him.

Gu Jingheng's heart trembled, and he pressed Nan Yuan under him, using his body to block the fatal blow for her.

"Pfft-"

The arrow pierced his knee, and a sharp pain instantly spread throughout his body.

Gu Jingheng clenched his teeth, trying to swallow back his cry of pain.

However, the pain was too severe and a low "hmm" still escaped from his throat.

Nan Yuan looked at Gu Jingheng's painful expression and saw the blood slowly oozing out from his wound. Her heart felt as if it was being pricked by a needle.

"Gu Jingheng..."

Nan Yuan's voice was trembling and weak, and her thoughts were spinning rapidly under the violent impact.

cliff?

She remembered that the map showed that there was a dense forest below the cliff, and there were branches growing everywhere on the cliff.

If you jump off a cliff, there is a high probability that you will be caught by a branch, and if you are unlucky, you may fall to your death.

But if they were caught, neither she nor Gu Jingheng would survive.

"Capture them alive!"

The pursuers in front of them were closing in step by step, and the cliff behind them seemed to be their only way out.

"Gu Jingheng, come and gamble with me." Nan Yuan said in Gu Jingheng's ear.

Gu Jingheng was stunned for a moment, then he immediately understood Nan Yuan's intention.

Nan Yuan's eyes were determined. She no longer hesitated and tied Gu Jingheng and herself tightly together with a belt to increase the probability of them being hung.

Then, she threw a handful of dust at the soldiers in front of her and resolutely jumped off the cliff with Gu Jingheng.

"what--"

Only this desperate yet determined cry remained, echoing in the empty valley.

Soon, the dust settled and the pursuers moved forward cautiously.

There was white fog lingering under the cliff in front of me, and it was bottomless.

"Chief, what do we do now?"

"Archery!"

Even though they knew they would be in danger of death if they jumped off the cliff, they still had to give them another blow so as not to leave them any chance of survival.

The archers immediately drew their bows and aimed at the misty abyss.

"Shh-"

Countless feather arrows broke through the air and shot towards the abyss. The sound echoed in the valley, sharp and piercing.

Under this abyss of white fog, two figures were hanging on the branches.

The air was cut by flying arrows, making sharp sounds and passing quickly by them.

Suddenly, with a "hiss", a feather arrow brushed past Gu Jingheng's arm, causing a burning pain.

The sudden pain caused his hands clinging to the tree trunk to lose strength in an instant, and the bodies of both of them swayed like leaves swaying in the wind.

"..."

Nan Yuan closed her eyes in fear.

Gu Jingheng clenched his teeth tightly, took off his hairband, and tied his arms to the tree trunk tightly to prevent the two from falling again.

After an unknown amount of time, the arrows finally became sparse and disappeared.

"You are so brave. Aren't you afraid of death?" Gu Jingheng lowered his head and asked Nan Yuan, his voice filled with emotion of surviving a calamity.

He really didn't expect that Nan Yuan, who had always been afraid of death, would dare to take him to jump off the cliff. It really made him look at her in new eyes!

"I..." Nan Yuan's lips trembled and she could hardly make a sound.

She looked down into the abyss. The bottomless darkness made her feel dizzy and her body trembled uncontrollably.

If she were given another chance to choose, she probably wouldn't be so courageous.

"I'm afraid of death."

Her heart was still filled with fear, and her hands tightly grasped the belt tied around her waist, the other end of the belt was tied around Gu Jingheng's waist.

It can be said that if the belt breaks, Nan Yuan will fall directly into the abyss.

Gu Jingheng looked at Nan Yuan deeply and keenly sensed Nan Yuan's fear.

Don't stay here for long.

He looked around and soon found a cave at the end of the tree trunk they were clinging to.
