【139】Second Siege

When Chi Rui's family was killed, Wu Nishang was in the frontier having a ridiculous love affair with his beloved Tuoba Yi.

She regretted not being able to save Chi Rui in the first place for several years.

This time, she finally didn't come late again.

Chi Rui's introverted personality only warms up when Su Xueer is around.

He was injured so badly, but he refused to ask for help even for bandaging.

"Rui'er, do you really think that girl betrayed you?"

Chi Rui gritted his teeth and endured the pain, tied the end of the gauze into a knot, and then put on the bloody coat.

Touching the clothes, he suddenly remembered that day in the clothing store, Su Xueer picked out this clothes for him at first sight.

She said that he looked like a refined and noble gentleman in this dress.

Thinking of this, his expression became much warmer.

Where is she now?

Is it safe?

The Nanchuan County Magistrate shouldn't make things difficult for her.

"Master, where did Liu and Zhao Yueru go?"

Chi Rui's voice was particularly hoarse, adding a bit of chill to the already cold cave.

"The two of them are fine. Zhao Yueru is a bit tricky, and was taken away by Su Jincheng, the young marquis of Pingnan Marquisate."

Chi Rui said nothing more.

The only sounds left in the cave were the whistling wind and dripping water.

"Young Master, there are pursuers down the mountain." Qianyu rushed in and shouted.

He knew that he couldn't live in this cave for long.

"Don't panic, how many people are there?" Wu Nishang asked.

"There are about dozens of them, and they are the soldiers from Nanchuan County."

"Dozens of people? If we give it our all, maybe we still have a chance to break out." Wu Nishang said solemnly.

Chi Rui held a long sword, equipped his hidden crossbow, and looked determined: "Then let's fight!"

Everyone rushed towards the pursuers together, and in an instant, swords and sabers flashed and flashed.

Chi Rui endured the pain and fought bravely, each move was fierce and powerful. However, his injuries were serious, his leg had not fully healed, and his movements gradually slowed down.

The enemy seized the opportunity and attacked Chi Rui's lower body together.

Chi Rui fought hard, but was forced back to the edge of the cliff by the enemy due to carelessness.

"Young Master, be careful!" Qianyu shouted loudly.

But it was too late. Chi Rui slipped and fell straight down the cliff.

"Chi Rui!" Wu Nishang's eyes were bloodshot.

Qianyu wanted to rush over and grab Chi Rui, but was stopped by the swarming enemies.

Chi Rui's mind went blank as he fell rapidly.

His heart was filled with resentment and regret: Am I going to die like this?

Xue'er, I'm afraid we will never see each other again in this life.

Just when he thought he was doomed, a thick branch on the cliff blocked his fall.

The branches cracked under his weight.

Chi Rui used up his last bit of strength, reached out and grabbed the protruding rock next to him, trying to steady his body.

But the branch finally broke, and Chi Rui fell down again.

Fortunately, as he continued to fall, he found a depression on the cliff and rushed into it desperately.

This depression was a narrow cave. Chi Rui fell heavily to the ground and his wound began to bleed again.

He lay in the cave, gasping for breath, his consciousness gradually becoming blurred.

On the cliff, Qianyu and Wu Nishang finally repelled the pursuers, but Chi Rui was nowhere to be seen.

"Young Master!" Qianyu shouted loudly towards the bottom of the cliff, but there was only an empty echo.

Qianyu's face was pale, his eyes were bloodshot with despair, and he looked at Wu Nishang with tears in his eyes.

"Let's go and take a look under the cliff."
