Tang Xianzhou and his men, who were standing guard behind the thorn bushes with knives in hand, could no longer hold back and turned to Ren and said, "Madam, we will go out and look for our master."

Ren's heart tightened: "Okay, okay, go quickly!"

Tang Xianzhou took two people out, but the three of them never came back.

After waiting anxiously for nearly two quarters of an hour, the people left in the cave could wait no longer. Even the seriously injured Chen Yiqiu stood up by supporting himself against the stone wall.

Without Ren Shi and Ji Zimu, there are only five people left. Four of them are seriously injured, and only one is slightly injured and still has full combat power. The remaining person is really in a dilemma. They are anxious and want to go out to look for him, but there is Ren Shi. He can't just leave Ren Shi alone.

Ren made a prompt decision: "Let's all go!"

Firstly, if they were really pursued and wiped out, this cave would be discovered sooner or later no matter how well hidden it was; secondly, and more importantly, she was so worried about Ji Yuanhao's safety that she couldn't sit still!

The group pushed aside the withered and yellow thatch, went around the thicket of old thorns, and moved forward slowly and carefully.

By this time it was already very dark, with only a little dim light left. The dense forests between the mountains were filled with shadows, making it difficult to see, but it also made it very easy for them to hide their bodies.

They only have a few people left, and they must not act rashly when they know there is a high possibility of enemies.

Although Ren was anxious, she couldn't urge him and could only grit her teeth and endure it.

After sneaking along like this for about quarter of an hour, they finally found the clues!

"Front!"

The smell of blood wafted from the wind, and everyone's heart tightened. The slightly injured Liang Zaisheng quickly jumped out, and everyone followed closely behind him!

The flat clifftop was covered with corpses, some of them were from the black-clad warriors, and some were from their men, seven or eight in total. Liang Zaisheng raised the faces of two of his companions lying on the ground and said, "They are Hou Zheng and Shu Shu!"

One was the one who went out with Ji Yuanhao, and the other was the second group that went out to look for people. Apparently the two groups had already met up and had a fierce battle with the black-clad assassins who had been chasing them. The scene was covered in blood, and the battle was obviously extremely fierce. The traces of the battle extended all the way to the east.

Liang Zaisheng, Chen Yiqu and the others were very anxious and wanted to chase after him immediately, but when they looked back at Ren, she took a few steps back and hid herself in the gap between the thatched grass and the huge rocks on the edge of the cliff, and said anxiously: "Go! Quickly!!"

Now is not the time to be pretentious and make excuses. Liang Zaisheng immediately nodded and hurriedly chased eastward with Chen Yiqu and others.

Ji Zimu hesitated for a moment. He was already sixteen years old. With the seriously injured soldiers like Chen Yiqu on the field, he could be considered an important combat force. He was worried about his father, but also worried about his mother. Finally, Ren pushed him and said, "Go find your father. Mom can do it alone!"

“Be careful!!”

"Um!"

Finally, Ji Zimu tightened the hilt of his sword, nodded, and ran away with Liang Zaisheng and others!

The cliff soon became quiet, with a strong smell of blood and corpse remains. The north wind whistled across the top of the cliff, and soon it made people feel cold all over. Ren tightened her coat, held her breath and hid, clasped her hands together and prayed, praying to the Buddha to bless Liang Zaisheng and others to arrive in time, and Ji Yuanhao to be safe!

She believed in Buddhism and knelt down unconsciously.

After praying for a long time, the north wind became colder and colder, and she could not help shivering. She looked carefully to the east and moved cautiously inside.

The place where Ren was hiding was not far from the cliff. The grass and thorns were very lush. There were seven or eight huge rocks on the side close to the cliff. Under the rocks was a very steep slope.

This position was not only good for hiding, but also good for blocking the wind. Ren felt cold, so she retreated between two huge rocks further inside. She was also cautious, and picked up a dead branch, knocking it lightly while groping with her other hand, protecting her belly and slowly moving backwards.

But as she was touching, she suddenly felt something cold, wet and sticky, and it felt... like blood! Her heart suddenly skipped a beat and she quickly looked down!

It’s true!

I saw a bloodstain half the size of a palm falling on the sand under the grass, mixed with the sand to form a sticky brown-red stain. It looked like a person had passed through mid-air and retreated towards the steep slope, splashing in the air! Therefore, there were no traces of trampling and fighting left in the grass and on the cliff.

Ren hurriedly pulled away the grass, and it was indeed! A long line of bloodstains spurted out, from big to small, even on some grass leaves. What's more important is that she was sharp-eyed and found a little white thing not far from the biggest bloodstain. Ren stretched out her hand and took a look, and it turned out to be the jade pendant hanging around Ji Yuanhao's waist!

She had tied this jade pendant on him personally this morning!

The four-happiness knot on the jade pendant was cut in half by a knife! The blood dyed the white jade pendant as white as mutton fat red.

Ren was horrified! She hurriedly followed the blood trail and crawled a few steps, then lay on the cliff and looked down the steep slope. She looked back hurriedly, but Liang Zaisheng and the others had already gone away, leaving only the howling of the cold wind around her.

The strong wind blew away the thick dark clouds, revealing the hidden moon. The moonlight in the mountains was very bright. Ren didn't know if it was her illusion, but she seemed to hear the sound of weapons clashing. She saw a flash of silver light in the south direction under the high slope with her peripheral vision!

She opened her eyes wide and stared at that place!

...It really wasn't an illusion. After waiting for a while, a faint silver light flashed again.

She tightly grasped the blood-stained jade pendant in her hand and endured for a few breaths. Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore, so she stood up suddenly and began to look for a way to get down the cliff!

Ren was not a weak woman. She followed Ji Yuanhao in her childhood and experienced the fickleness of the world. Later, she entered the Four Princes' Palace, a place full of tigers and wolves. She was not weak and knew very well that outsiders were unreliable. At that time, Ji Yuanhao had two martial arts guards around him. She had learned martial arts from them since she was a child, and only stopped after she entered the Fourth Prince's Palace. However, she had always practiced secretly until she married Ji Yuanhao. At that time, Ji Yuanhao became more and more eye-catching, so she stopped practicing.

Now she lifted her skirt and ran quite fast. She soon found a relatively suitable downhill path. Climbing the half-dead vines on the edge, she slowly slid down and moved down as quickly as possible.

When Ren arrived, the fierce battle between Ji Yuanhao and those assassins had just come to an end.

The deaths on both sides were extremely tragic. The two people around Ji Yuanhao were already dead, and their bodies were lying on the ground not far away. Ji Yuanhao was covered with wounds. He stood up several times with the help of his sword, but was unable to stand up. His lips were slightly purple, indicating that he had been poisoned.

He was accidentally hit by the opponent's poison dart just now, but he was in a tough fight at the time and was a beat slower to free up his hand to cut off the flesh on his arm, but it was a little too late. The remaining poison made him dizzy, and his limbs gradually felt numb and stiff.

When Ren arrived, he tried his best to seriously injure the last two enemies, then fell to the ground. He quickly fumbled to take out the antidote pill from his arms, but the poison gradually spread, and his hands and feet were no longer able to move. With a "pop", the bottle fell and the wax ball rolled all over the floor.

The enemy with blood all over his face staggered, stood up, slowed down, revealed a murderous smile, whistled, then flipped the sword in his hand, and quickly ran towards Ji Yuanhao who was half lying on the ground!

A critical moment!

"ah--"

Ren's eyes were bloodshot, she rushed out regardless of everything! Fortunately, the man was seriously injured, and was hit so hard by her suddenly that he fell over with a "bang" and rolled down the slope!

"Husband!"

Ren cried with joy, and was shocked and nervous. She quickly picked up the wax ball on the ground and squeezed it open, "Is this it? Huh?!"

Ji Yuanhao was speechless and nodded with difficulty.

Ren quickly put the detoxification pill into his mouth, and put three pills in a row. Ji Yuanhao tried his best: "...Let's go." It is not advisable to stay here for long.

The black-clad warrior blew the whistle just now to call his companions.

This dose of medicine is enough, but it won’t work so quickly, so we have to leave quickly!

Of course Ren knew how powerful he was. She half-knelt, supporting and helping Ji Yuanhao. Ji Yuanhao tried his best to hold on to the cliff wall, but unfortunately his poison had little effect, and the weight of his body was still basically on Ren. Ren gritted her teeth, held his arm, stood up, took a breath, and hurriedly chose a direction to leave with the help of Ji Yuanhao.

The couple have been together for many years, sharing joys and sorrows. Even though they had disputes and cold wars before, now that the crisis is ahead, those conflicts have been forgotten.

Ren had already tried her best, supporting Ji Yuanhao as they staggered forward in the dark, while Ji Yuanhao half-closed his eyes, regulated his breathing, and tried his best to activate the effect of the medicine, hoping to detoxify him as soon as possible.

However, the objective environmental conditions cannot be changed by human will.

The black-clad warrior whistled before he fell into the water, summoning two of his men, who rushed to rescue him. The black-clad leader didn't even bother to bandage his wounds, and pointed with heavy breathing, "...Quick! Lord Yan."

It’s just the last moment, we must not let the other party get away!

The two men in black immediately chased after him. After a few jumps and searches, they caught up with Ji Yuanhao in a short time and shouted, "Ji! Where are you running to!"

These two men are not as skilled as the leader in black, but they are definitely not someone Ji Yuanhao and Ren can resist at this moment!

Ren screamed “Ah——”, picked up the long sword she had just picked up, turned around and rushed over. Ji Yuanhao, whose body was still paralyzed by the poison and unable to move, immediately fell to the ground. He struggled to stay upright, but unfortunately his limbs were still functioning. He was very anxious, but could only try his best to activate the effect of the drug!

A man in black ran straight towards Ji Yuanhao. Ji Yuanhao gritted his teeth, suddenly jumped up, and slashed the man's neck with the dagger. The man let out a "huh" and blood gushed out of his neck. He also spat out a mouthful of blood. His internal breath became chaotic, and the poison that he had just suppressed with all his strength instantly backfired. His face turned purple in an instant, and he couldn't even move.

It would take him at least half a cup of tea for the poison to dissipate and for him to stand up again.

The remaining man in black, with blood on his face, was approaching with a sword in hand and a sneer on his face.

He kicked Ren and she rolled down the slope, and no one knew where she ended up in the haystack.

Ren was not his target. He was careless for a moment and was cut on the face by this bitch. He then turned around and kicked her out with a sword and a foot, and his attention instantly returned to Ji Yuanhao.

Ren lay in the grass and frowned in pain, but her external injuries were not serious after she put on her winter clothes, and she would feel much better immediately after stopping.

There are now two options before her: one, the man in black doesn't care about her at all, and she can turn around and run now. There is a high chance that she can get away, and both she and the baby in her belly will be safe.

The second way is to go back, protect Ji Yuanhao, and survive this half cup of tea.

But the man in black was obviously much more skilled than her, and if she chose the second path, she would probably be in great danger.

In the end, the two of them would even die together, including the flesh and blood in her belly.

But Ren didn't hesitate. She didn't even think about running. She saw the man's sword shaking from her peripheral vision. She almost immediately got up, picked up the sword on the ground and rushed back, "Ah——"

She stood in front of Ji Yuanhao like a she-wolf!

"Ying'er, Ying'er, ..."

When Ji Yuanhao saw that she turned back, his breath became disordered. Ren clenched the hilt of the sword, not daring to look back, staring at the man in black, but she still smiled at him in response!

For him, she would be willing to die!

Ren is soft on the outside but strong on the inside. Her explosive power at this moment is astonishing. The man in black snorted coldly and swept his sword across, but was blocked by Ren!

The two men fought each other, and the result was very tragic.

This tragedy mainly refers to Ren. Willpower cannot completely make up for physical strength. She soon suffered countless major and minor injuries. Her head was hit hard on the stone on the ground, and her flesh and blood were immediately blurred. Ji Yuanhao's eyes were bloodshot. Even the man in black thought she was dead, and he drew his sword and went straight to Ji Yuanhao, but Ren suddenly turned over and jumped up, holding his feet tightly.

"You fucking bitch, are you looking for death?!"

Ren's weight was quite great now, and the man in black couldn't struggle free for a while because he was being held so tightly. Seeing that the purple color on Ji Yuanhao's face was getting lighter and lighter, he became anxious and kicked with his back foot, but it didn't move! He swung his sword back and stabbed it heavily into Ren's chest, but the other party didn't move!

“Thief!!”

The most anxious person at the scene must be Ji Yuanhao. He tried his best to mobilize his internal energy and the power of the medicine to walk. He was only one step away from taking a step. At this moment, Ren was stabbed hard in the chest. With a pull, a puff of blood spurted out. His eyes were bloodshot and he spurted out two mouthfuls of blood. At this moment, his qi and blood rushed to the extreme and broke through the obstacles. At this moment, even the physiological effects of the paralysis of his limbs after the poison slowly faded were overcome by his willpower. He jumped up with blood spurting out, staggered a step, and slashed the black-clothed man's throat with a sword!

The two fought fiercely!

Ren, who was already at the end of her strength, finally loosened her hand. The man in black wanted to kick her away, but Ji Yuanhao's sudden attack forced him to give up and immediately stepped back.

The battle between the two men was bloody. In the beginning, Ji Yuanhao was at a disadvantage, but as time went on, the poison in his body was gradually eliminated and the situation quickly reversed. In the end, Ji Yuanhao swung his sword sharply and hit the opponent's heart. The man in black fell to the ground and died!

But Ji Yuanhao didn't even have time to look at him for half a second. He stabbed with his sword, pulled it back with his backhand, and immediately turned around and ran towards Ren.

"Ying'er, Ying'er!"

Ren opened her eyes slightly and smiled with tears of joy, "That's great..." You're okay!

Ji Yuanhao almost cried with grief. Ren's condition was really bad. The left side of her head, covered with messy hair, was bloody, but this was not the most serious injury. The most serious injury was the sword that stabbed her when she was holding on to the man in black. The sword was located below her chest and pierced deeply, causing blood to gushed out.

Ji Yuanhao immediately pressed her acupuncture points to stop the bleeding, tore off his underwear and all the medicines on his body and covered the wound tightly. His vision was blurry and he felt like his heart was exploding. He hissed, "It's okay, it's okay... Let's go find Su Ci. Su Ci is nearby. She can save you. It's okay!!"

He hurriedly stood up while holding Ren in his arms, and ran wildly to the southeast!

…

In fact, Su Ci's condition was not very good at this time.

Yang Yanzong also encountered tracking and siege, but their situation was much better than Ji Yuanhao's.

Firstly, there were not so many seriously injured soldiers and their combat effectiveness was stronger. Secondly, they had gone farther and had already met up with Azhao and others.

Only then did they realize that they had penetrated nearly a hundred miles into the mountains.

When the people on Yang Yanzong and Ji Yuanhao's side heard about the change, they knew something was wrong and rushed out in full force. Some of them openly worked with Xu Wenkai and others to open the mechanism of the imperial mausoleum and tear it apart from Kun's side, while more of them surrounded the imperial mausoleum and sent people to look for another entrance.

But no one really expected that this underground mechanism would be so huge, covering an area of ​​dozens of miles. Therefore, there are relatively few people entering the mountains.

After searching for half a day, they found nothing. Finally, after a hasty discussion, Azhao, Akang, Yang Yanzhen and others started to search further.

But it is still like looking for a needle in a haystack to throw people into such a large mountain range. Azhao's team of more than ten people accidentally discovered traces of trampling near the door and hurriedly chased after them.

Because communication was difficult in the deep mountains, they were afraid of attracting the enemy and did not fire any flares.

This is absolutely correct.

With the addition of these dozen people, Yang Yanzong's side had an easier time fighting the pursuers, and it only took less than half an hour to resolve the battle.

After that, we finally stopped to bandage our wounds and rest.

Azhao hurriedly described the situation outside, which was not too surprising. The key to this matter was whether he and Ji Yuanhao would live or die. Yang Yanzong listened with a cold brow, but did not express his opinion. Everything would be discussed after he went out.

After Ah Zhao finished speaking, he looked at Su Ci worriedly and asked, "How is Madam?"

Yang Yanzong frowned and held Su Ci tightly in his arms. He wrapped the robe he had just taken off and put on her tighter around him, and looked down at her with a little worry.

Su Ci's condition was not very good. Although she had no broken bones or major external injuries, she had countless minor injuries, including those from falls, cuts from swords, and slashes from daggers. The most serious ones were on the palm of her right hand and the left back of her head. She was cut on her palm when she stabbed the female assassin to death. Her small sharp blade had no handle, so she held it and stabbed it down hard, injuring the other person and cutting herself deeply at the same time.

There was also a bump as big as an egg on the left side of the back of her head, which was blue and swollen. She had been so nervous before that she didn't feel any pain at all, but when she saw Azhao and the others, she felt really relaxed and then the severe pain came. She also had a concussion and felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. She had just vomited while holding onto a tree trunk, and Yang Yanzong was very anxious.

But he dared to bandage her hands, but he really didn't dare to touch her head. Su Ci felt and estimated the position herself, and then felt it, and comforted him: "It shouldn't be a big problem, it will be fine after a few days of dizziness, you should go and bandage the wound."

Yang Yanzong hurriedly bandaged several large wounds and came back to hug her. Su Ci didn't feel very comfortable, but she was still very happy in her heart. At this point, she was already out of danger for the most part, and all she had to do was get out of the mountain safely.

She talked with Yang Yanzong for a while and said that she was fine, but he was seriously injured and needed to recuperate.

He kissed her face lovingly.

At this moment, he even forgot about Ji Chengtan and just focused on coaxing her to talk, hoping that she would feel better.

But the two of them had just snuggled together and whispered for a while when Su Ci mentioned Ji Yuanhao and Ren Shi: "I wonder if Ji Yuanhao has found Sister Ren? They should be able to get out..." She only learned the key to this life later. Thinking of Ji Chengtan, she felt silent and uncomfortable. At the same time, she also thought of the pregnant Ren Shi and became very worried.

"If they're heading this way, we should be able to catch up if nothing unexpected happens..."

But before Yang Yanzong could finish his sentence, he was suddenly interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps and a cry for help!

"Madam, madam!"

It was Daming's voice. He and Azhao were the team leader and deputy team leader respectively. One was responsible for bandaging his companions' wounds and preparing food, while the other was responsible for leading the men on guard. He was so frightened by the voice that he even forgot about Su Ci's physical discomfort!

Yang Yanzong and Su Ci were startled and looked up immediately. The first thing they saw was Ji Yuanhao, who was covered in blood and holding Ren in his arms, rushing towards them!

"Save her! Quick, save her--"

Ji Yuanhao finally found Yang Yanzong and his group. Fortunately, he had looked for the secret sign left by Yang Yanzong before it got dark, and predicted the direction the latter might go. After stumbling along the way, he finally succeeded in finding them.

He hurriedly put Ren down, grabbed Su Ci's hand, and shouted at the top of his lungs!

Su Ci was horrified and looked down hurriedly. She felt dizzy for a moment and saw only darkness, but she smelled a strong smell of blood. Ren's head was covered in blood and her front was almost completely stained with blood. This was because Ji Yuanhao and Tang Xianzhou had met. Tang Xianzhou barely gave Ren acupuncture to stop the bleeding. At this time, Ren's clothes were wide open and it was obvious that the folds of her chest pocket covering her thick inner shirt were soaked with blood.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, don't block the light!"

She was horrified and screamed in panic. Su Ci's hands were still shaking, which was a sequelae of overexertion. But before she could worry about not being able to rescue her, she leaned over to feel Ren's pulse, and her heart suddenly sank.

——Mrs. Ren is on his deathbed.

There was no way she could be saved. The wound on her chest was very deep, and it involved important organs. Even in a well-equipped operating room in the medical camp, she couldn't guarantee that she could be saved, let alone here.

Moreover, Ren's face was as pale as gold paper, and it was obviously the last moment of her life.

There's no hope!

Su Ci checked her pulse and wound, her knees went weak, she covered her mouth, choked, and didn't move.

Finally, she said in a hoarse voice: "…The fetal pulse is still there. If we perform a cesarean section now, perhaps the baby can be saved."

Ji Yuanhao's head buzzed and everything went dark.

In fact, looking at Ren's expression, he knew in his heart that Ji Yuanhao had seen dead people before, but this was Ren, and he held a strong hope and expectation.

On the contrary, Ren herself had a premonition and was very calm in her heart. But when she heard Su Ci's words, she became excited and raised her upper body suddenly, "Save him, save him, please!"

She held Su Ci's hand with one hand, and held Ji Yuanhao tightly with the other hand. Ji Yuanhao held her hand in return, "Ying'er, Ying'er..."

"…Save him, quickly! Please, Sister Ci."

Human willpower is truly amazing. Even Ren's breathing instantly became more stable. Her eyes suddenly opened and her gaze became bright. She was so strong that she pinched Su Ci's hand bones so hard that they ached.

Su Ci nodded with tears in her eyes, nodded vigorously, she leaned over and wiped her face hard with cold water several times, took the soap handed to her by A Zhao and washed her hands several times, then warmed the thin blade over the fire for a while. A Zhao and the others turned their backs, even Yang Yanzong turned his head to look at Su Ci's face. Ren's bloody belly was exposed, and it was hurriedly wiped several times. The thin blade scratched it lightly, and blood immediately flowed out. This was Su Ci's first cesarean section. Fortunately, the operation was not difficult. She was very careful, but she still quickly took out the bloody baby.

The tiny baby, thin and weak, crying like a kitten, was wrapped in an outer coat and inner armor that someone had taken off and put into Ren's arms.

Ren was smiling with tears in her eyes. She said to Su Ci, "Thank you, thank you," Sister A Ci.

The operation was performed without anesthesia, but she did not show any pain at all. Ren's eyes soon began to blur. She raised her head with difficulty and said to Ji Yuanhao who was holding her: "...our child, take good care of him..."

The child actually survived, and Ren was very satisfied. She looked up at Ji Yuanhao infatuatedly, and murmured tenderly, "Don't, don't be sad, I, I don't regret it,..."

She would do it again!

After saying the last sentence with difficulty, Ren finally closed her eyes, and the hand that was hugging the child slowly slid down.

"Mother! Mother——"

Before she lost consciousness, she seemed to hear Ji Zimu arriving. She wanted to open her eyes and take a look at the child, but unfortunately, there was nothing she could do!

Ji Zimu suddenly burst into tears. Ji Yuanhao was greatly grief-stricken. He held Ren and the newborn baby in his arms, knelt on the ground, and cried bitterly, "Ying'er, Ying'er——"

Ren is dead.

On this midwinter night, I closed my eyes forever.

The scene was extremely bloody. She just died like that, so young, so suddenly, her beautiful life ended so suddenly, and the wound that Su Ci had just opened didn't even have time to suture it, it was just left open.

The heart-wrenching cry and the shocking scarlet color, even as a doctor, she could clearly see one of Ren's intestines. Her heart was pounding wildly, Su Ci felt a sharp pain at the back of her head, the world was spinning, and she suddenly fainted.

Yang Yanzong had been watching her the whole time. He was horrified and immediately hugged her, "Ci'er, Ci'er!"
