After the big guy wears the abusive text

Those guards were panicked, fearing that they would be implicated if they could not find the imperial concubine, now they believed everything they said, and sent two people to bring the assassin back to the palace to report to the emperor, while the rest followed Ye Youqing and went to the cliff together.

Everyone knows how much the emperor loves this noble concubine, and they know that if the noble concubine is in the way, one of them said that neither of them can escape the emperor's wrath.

However, these guards went up the mountain to search, so they didn't ride horses, and their speed was very slow. Ci Ke was worried that Zhou Ziqiu was almost "riding the dust", and after a while, they were the only ones left running on the mountain road.

Although the mountain is high, the road has been built, so although the horses have to be abandoned halfway up the mountain, it is not difficult to walk.

Ye Youqing had good physical strength, but Ci Ke was out of breath halfway through, but she didn't say a word, and continued to climb forward, Ye Youqing couldn't persuade her, so she could only stay behind her, non-stop.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Ci Ke's knees finally gave way and he nearly fell to his knees.

"Take a break." Ye Youqing couldn't stand it any longer, and gasped.

Ci Ke's cheeks were pale, her legs were trembling, and she was on the verge of falling. She stared at the side of the road, and suddenly took out a hairpin from the unremarkable bushes.

She stared at the hairpin, her throat moved slightly.

"Great, it proves that we didn't fail." Ye Youqing heaved a sigh of relief, and stretched out his hand to pull Ci Ke up.

"Ye Youqing, do you think my aunt will..." Ci Ke said blankly.

"No." Ye Youqing said firmly, "Ten miles away."

"Sister Shili is here?" Ci Ke grabbed Ye Youqing's hand, and a light flashed in his gloomy eyes just now.

"Yeah." Ye Youqing comforted, and smiled, "If you hadn't been hiding from me these days, you wouldn't have failed to recognize her."

Ci Ke let go of that hand and bit his lip.

Ye Youqing saw that she looked a little lonely, so he changed the topic, looked around, and found some messy footprints in the dust: "Look, these footprints have not been blown away by the wind, the imperial concubine should have just passed by not long ago, the mountain road ahead is not good. More, be careful."

Hearing this, Ci Ke fixed his eyes, supported the mountain wall and continued to move forward, walking so fast that Ye Youqing even started to run after him.

I don't know how long it took, and I rested a few times. The moonlight above my head seemed to be covered by a layer of tulle, and only a faint circular halo appeared behind the clouds, causing all the scenery on the ground to be covered in a haze.

The two finally reached the top of the mountain. After bypassing an unknown white flower, the sight suddenly opened up. The top of the mountain seemed to be sliced ​​by a sword. The surface was flat and the edges and corners were sharp. extend.

The sword, light and sword shadow also imprinted in the eyes at the same time, and the white reflected by the steel streaked across the sky in the night, interweaving into a fine network, and finally fell down with a stern sound.

Accompanied by the stern voice, the figure of the last masked man also fell slowly, and the corpses lay all over the ground, and Ci Ke beside him suddenly covered his mouth.

On the edge of the cliff in the distance, there were only three people left and they were still standing. One of them held a sword in his hand, and the tip of the sword seemed to be dripping. Pressing the woman's shoulder, he was about to push her down.

"Aunt..." Ci Ke murmured, his body rushed forward, but was suddenly pulled by someone.

Ye Youqing subconsciously blocked Ci Ke's back with his arm, and quickly pulled out the willow leaf hairpin. After seeing the person in front of him clearly, his hand stopped in mid-air.

He is thin and short, with black and white eyes, and his hair is tied into a man's bun, which looks like a boy.

"Your Highness Six?" Ye Youqing lowered his voice, very surprised.

Ci Ke also froze in place.

"Sister." The boy said softly, let go of Ci Ke's hand, and then pulled Ye Youqing back, "Don't go forward."

"Why are you here?" Ye Youqing asked angrily, and looked back at the three people who were in a stalemate. They seemed to be negotiating nervously and did not move.

"I overheard the guards telling Father that the imperial concubine might be here, and my sister rushed over before the guards, and sneaked out of the palace before the guards, hoping to see if I could be of any help." The boy's eyes tightened. Staring at the side of the cliff, he pulled Ye Youqing back step by step.

"It can be regarded as repaying the kindness twice." The boy said, pointing to another fork in the road going down behind him.

"What do you mean?" Ye Youqing reached out and pulled Ci Ke.

"This cliff is called Dog Head Cliff, because there is a dog's head-shaped protrusion under it, which is less than half a foot away from the top of the cliff." The young man said quickly, "The dog's mouth is hollowed out, and it is connected to a cave. If the imperial concubine falls off the cliff, It just happens to roll down from the dog's mouth, and if someone catches up at the hole at this time, it is very likely to save him."

Hearing this, Ye Youqing and Ci Ke looked at each other.

On the edge of the cliff, Shili was slowly bending his knees, and put the long sword in his hand on the ground. At a glance, he knew that the masked man threatened Zhou Ziqiu's life and dropped the weapon.

From this point of view, it would be much easier for the remaining masked man to want his own life more than Zhou Ziqiu's.

Ye Youqing knew that among the three present, he was the only one who had practiced martial arts. Although the sixth prince had kung fu, he was young and small in stature.

So she made a decisive decision: "Can you..."

"Don't worry. The entrance of the cave is covered with firewood." The sixth prince's voice was intentionally low, and he was indistinguishable from male and female. After speaking, he tiptoed up the cliff.

There were ten miles and six princes up there, Ye Youqing had a solid idea, so he pulled Ci Ke, and the two ran towards the fork road together, and after a short run, they saw a pile of scattered firewood.

Pull it aside, it is a deep and dark cave.

"Ye Youqing." Ci Ke suddenly pinched Ye Youqing's sleeve and whispered, "Is what he said believable?"

"I don't think there is any reason for His Royal Highness to cheat. What's more, the imperial concubine is in the hands of that person. It is best to save the concubine ten miles away. This is the only way to remedy it." Ye Youqing said, wrapping her delicate palms with her backhand. hand, said softly, "Come."

Ci Ke's hand touched by her suddenly became hot and humid, but the situation was urgent, and the two of them didn't say anything, but jumped into the cave together.

At the same time, a strong wind blew up on the cliff, and the clouds in the sky had been blown away by the wind, revealing a disc that was bigger than the flat ground, shining heavily on the cliff.

The woman's light red clothes were blown into butterfly wings by the strong wind, flying in all directions. She raised her slender neck, her red lips trembled slightly, her eyes were dry, and she could only see the figure of the person in front of her from the corner of her eye.

Indistinct.

"Back back, or I will throw this woman down right now!" The masked man's eyes were red and bloodshot, he looked like he had lost his mind, and his words were crazy.

No matter what, he would never have imagined that he would lose almost all his brothers just by taking over a job for Yin Zi and assassinating a mere woman.

The tall woman in front of her slowly backed away after hearing the words.

Someone chopped off part of her hair just now, and now it is hanging down, covering half of her ordinary face.

However, the murderous intent in her light-colored eyes was terrifying.

"Let her go. I'll spare you." The woman's voice was hoarse, like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, and she couldn't hear her original voice.

Zhou Ziqiu's eyes were a little desperate, she could only see the deep blue sky, and half of the moon, the sky and the earth were empty and quiet, only the hissing of the opposite person and the howling of the strong wind.

The rough hand of the man clutching her chin was accumulating strength, and half of the sole of his foot had already stepped into the air. Below was a cliff of unknown height, with jagged rocks at the bottom.

Just like her, let's fall to the bottom of the mountain together.

However, after all, I also tried to fly like a bird.

Zhou Ziqiu didn't shed tears, perhaps the tears shed every night had dried up, and now only dryness remained. For some reason, the hazy figure in front of him became more and more familiar the more he looked at it.

Familiar figure, but different from Xiao Shi's natural and bright smile.

She reached out slowly.

"Let go of her." Shili's voice became more trembling, and she stopped backing away, and slowly raised her hands.

Zhou Ziqiu's body was being held down by the man, and he was slowly leaning back. Half of his body was already exposed outside the cliff, and the wind was getting stronger, making him crumbling.

"Please, don't." Shili stared at the woman's graceful body wrapped in red, almost wanting to choke.

"Go to hell." The man suddenly said harshly, and then withdrew the arm pinching the woman's jaw, and the woman was dragged by him, turning around silently, her clothes blew up, and she fell straight down.

It was too late to say it, but at the moment when the man moved, Shili's body had turned into an afterimage. No one saw how she did it, and the tip of the knife pierced out of her sleeve accurately cut the man's throat.

It took a while for the blood to spurt out, staining the ground paved with white stones red.

At the same time, she flew out, wrapped Zhou Ziqiu's waist in mid-air at an unbelievable angle, and pushed him back onto the cliff.

But in an instant like lightning, time seemed to slow down, the familiar breath enveloped the two of them, and Zhou Ziqiu's tears burst out of his eyes instantly.

She stared blankly at the woman's eyes, which were different from those of the Central Plains people, bright and shallow.

Then, the distance between the two suddenly widened, a boy who appeared out of nowhere caught Zhou Ziqiu, and the shrill cry of the woman resounded through the cliff.

……

"Auntie!" In the darkness, Ci Ke trembled, and suddenly ran forward.

Seeing that the dark cave finally revealed light, Ye Youqing clutched his calf that had hit the wall and was blue, and also heard the shrill scream. under the cliff.

But not long after, the stone that supported her hanging suddenly broke away from the cliff, and the woman's body fell suddenly. Ye Youqing hurriedly reached out to catch it, and grabbed a hand.

At the same time, Ye Youqing couldn't help but kneel down when the strong dragging sensation came over her. In desperation, she used the internal strength of Shilijiao to stabilize her footing.

Ci Ke also came to help at this time, and the two of them worked together to pull him up to the entrance of the cave. In the dark and panic, Ye Youqing sat down on his buttocks, only then felt that the heart that almost flew out of his throat just now slowly fell to the ground.

She took a few breaths and asked, "Concubine, is there a serious problem?"

The figure who was dragged up did not reply, and seemed to be terrified: "The imperial concubine is fine, I have it."

"Sister Shili?" Ci Ke heard her voice and couldn't help being surprised.

"Master?" Ye Youqing on the side was also surprised, "Are you injured?"

Shili's voice was dull, as if she had just come out of some great joy and sorrow, she stood up while supporting Ye Youqing's shoulders, and took a deep breath: "It's okay."

After a pause, she said again: "You dislocated your hand. "

While Ye Youqing breathed a sigh of relief, his cheeks were slightly hot, and he hid behind Ci Ke, and Ci Ke also blocked in front of her.

Seeming to see the small movements of the two, Shili let out a laugh: "Why panic, I thank you before it's too late."

"Let's go, she's still on it." Shili said, and walked into the cave, only hearing the cracking sound of her hand bones, she knew she had connected her wrist.

The moonlight was still bright and clear, and the cliff was peaceful. The woman in red had already passed out and fell into the arms of the young man with tears on her face.

The three of Ye Youqing strode to them, stretched out his hand Shili to check Zhou Ziqiu's pulse, and let out a long breath: "It's okay, I was just frightened."

At this time, the sound of chaotic footsteps came from a distance, and the royal guards arrived. Ye Youqing let out a light snort, then bent down quickly, and calmly said: "Let's quickly take the concubine first."

"Just now, the road in the cave leads to a small cottage. They are all hunters, so you can settle down first." The sixth prince raised his eyes and said, then got up, handed the concubine to Shili, and watched as Shili picked her up.

Shili understood what Ye Youqing meant, and when she looked at the person in her arms, her eyes suddenly turned red, then she didn't speak, and strode towards the direction pointed by the sixth prince.

Ye Youqing also hurriedly followed, and happened to be hidden in another fork in the moment before the guards went up the cliff.

After half an hour.

In the village halfway up the mountain, several thatched cottages were covered by the shade of trees, the air was filled with the smell of bacon and dirt and excrement, dotted with sparse stars, and the moonlight sank.

Ye Youqing watched as Ci Ke quickly wiped off the blood on Zhou Ziqiu's face, scattered the hair, and then covered her cool body with a farm linen quilt.

The sixth prince had already returned to the palace, and he didn't know where he went for ten miles. Since he put him down, he didn't show up again.

Seeing that the woman stopped talking and fell into a deep sleep, Ye Youqing couldn't bear it and said: "Ci Ke, you've been tired all night, take a rest."

He was only tied to the mountains during the day, and now he is busy taking care of Zhou Ziqiu, obviously she almost died.

How strong this woman must be.

Hearing this, Ci Ke put down the handkerchief in his hand, turned around and curled his lips towards Ye Youqing, trying to walk towards her, but staggered.

Ye Youqing hastily stretched out his hand and stopped in front of her, so that no one could knock the corner of the table that had been eaten by moths.

"Look, I can't hold it anymore." Ye Youqing felt a little numb in his heart.

"It's just a little tired." The woman in her arms raised her head, her eyes were filled with waves of comfort.

The thatched hut was small, so Ye Youqing could only take people outside the hut, sit on the threshold, and look at the injury on her leg, the bruise had already turned black, and the originally slender calf was swollen like a black and white steamed bun.

Putting the palm on it, the leg trembled violently.

"Ye Youqing, do you want your aunt to use this to escape?" Ci Ke Conghui said softly with winking eyes.

Ye Youqing nodded. If you want to leave the palace, this is an excellent opportunity.

Ci Ke shook his head, and said sadly, "Auntie won't leave, even if she knows that Sister Shili is alive, she won't leave the palace."

"Why?" Ye Youqing frowned and asked without thinking.

"I don't know, but I understand how much she hates the royal family. I was young and didn't see the scene where my father was cut in half, but my aunt watched."

"My aunt is the youngest sister in my father's direct blood line. Her grandparents passed away early. It was almost my father who raised her. The two of them have a deep relationship." Ci Ke's voice was smooth, like boiled syrup.

"Sister Shili should also know, so she doesn't want to show up, let alone her..."

Ci Ke suddenly stopped.

"What's more, she has always remembered what happened back then, so she didn't want to appear in front of her aunt." As she spoke, she raised her eyelashes and looked at Ye Youqing.

"Ye Youqing, in the future, if you have someone you love, who will be tolerated by the world like Sister Shili and Aunt, what should you do?" She suddenly asked in a low voice.

Ye Youqing's mind jumped suddenly, and his eyes turned to the mountains in the distance, and the stars outside the mountains that were no longer bright because of the morning glow.

"I don't know." Ye Youqing said, her phoenix eyes gradually darkened, "Perhaps, if possible, I can create a world of my own."

Ci Ke clenched his palms tightly, and suddenly turned his head, warm breath rushed towards his face, and his moist lips were printed on Ye Youqing's side face like a dragonfly.

"How lucky is the person who is pleasing to you."
