Chapter 427 A Line of Sky
At the same time, a masked man quietly made a move and rushed straight towards Hu Xiner.
The prince's real purpose was the blank imperial edict in Hu Xin'er's hand. As long as he got the imperial edict, it would be easier for him to rebel.
But there is one thing the prince overlooked.
Lu Yunjue was taller than him, so even if he pinched his neck with his hands to make him stand up, he couldn't achieve the effect of suffocating him by hanging in the air.
Lu Yunjue has a support point, and his will is extremely strong, which means that he still has a chance to fight back!
At the moment when he was about to change his mind, Lu Yunjue keenly sensed his intention, so he pulled out a dagger from his waist and slashed at his wrist. If the knife hit, the prince's wrist meridians would be severed, which would greatly hinder his future training.
Therefore, the prince had to let go and avoid his attack.
After getting a chance to catch his breath, Lu Yunjue did not stop for a moment. His martial arts skills were originally stronger than the prince's, so it was more than enough for him to subdue the prince for a short time!
He did not choose to take the prince as a hostage, because there was no telling how many sinister things were in the prince. If he took the prince hostage, he would probably end up losing more than he gained.
Therefore, he kicked the prince in the direction he came from with a sharp kick, and at the same time threw the dagger.
He shouted, "The dagger is smeared with poison. If you don't want your master to die, go and save him!"
After saying that, he decisively rushed towards the fork in the road!
The two guards were startled and rushed towards the prince without thinking.
Although the prince blocked the dagger in time, the dagger was extremely sharp and his finger was still cut by it.
He himself was an expert in poison, and immediately showed a look of horror: "Come quickly, someone, take a look at what kind of poison this is?"
If the dagger was smeared with something like bone-eroding stuff, he would be dead in a moment, so why would he care about ambitions and hatred?
The most powerful guards were lured away. Although the remaining masked men were numerous and powerful, it was not enough to break through their encirclement in a desperate fight!
Mu Qing was in tune with him and naturally understood what his brother meant. He picked up Hu Xin'er and ran away, while Jiang Yao and Lu's mother followed closely behind.
Given the current situation, it would be useless to split the troops into two groups, so everyone gave up their previous plan and fled in one direction instead.
It's just that they don't have horses, so they are not fast.
After examining the prince's hand, the guard gave him a detoxification pill to ensure everything was safe. He then hesitantly said, "The blood in the wound is normal in color and has no odor. You haven't reacted at all, Prince. It seems the dagger isn't poisonous..."
The prince regained his senses at this time and immediately realized that Lu Yunjue was deceiving him.
He was actually fooled by Lu Yunjue again!
In the dark night, the prince's angry voice rang out: "Chase them! They are carrying a few burdens and can't get far."
So what if Lu Yunjue used these tricks? In the face of absolute power, any tricks were worthless.
He will definitely kill Lu Yunjue, and he must get the blank imperial edict.
The guards left in response, and the prince suddenly said, "Wait, capture Lu Yunjue alive. I want him to know what it means to be unable to live and unable to die!"
He uttered the last four words with gritted teeth, and with the biting cold wind of late autumn, even the two guards couldn't help but shudder in their hearts.
They knew the prince's methods of torturing people.
It seems that this young master of the Lu family is destined to have a tragic ending.
"Oh no! They've realized what's happening and should be chasing us soon." Yin Li listened carefully, his face anxious. "How about I go and distract them?"
"I'll go with you." Lu Yunjue said without hesitation. "The prince is targeting me, and he will definitely come after me."
Mu Qing and Jiang Yao objected at the same time: "No!"
"Don't let your emotions get the better of you at this moment!" Lu Yunjue suddenly growled, "If I don't get out, everyone will die."
Jiang Yao bit her lip tightly, her voice distorted by her excitement. "No matter what, I'm going to protect you today. You can ask Xin'er to disguise me as you, and then I'll lure the pursuers out."
"Don't you want to find your son? What will happen if your husband dies?" Lu Yunjue became emotional. "Don't say anymore, I'll go over now."
However, his hand was grabbed.
It’s Mu Qing.
His eyes were already red at this time. He was obviously a tall and strong man, but tears were about to burst out.
"Please." Mu Qing said awkwardly, "I don't want you to die for me again..."
Lu Yunjue looked at him, and his eyes suddenly became extremely gentle.
Originally, due to the inhumane treatment he had suffered for many years, there was always some hostility and resentment in his eyes.
But at this moment, his eyes were clearly full of relief, just like the moonlight tonight, clear and bright.
"It's okay, brother." He, who was always quiet, said to Mu Qing, "I did this willingly."
Even though he was asking to die, he tried hard to make his voice sound normal: "That's it."
Mu Qing couldn't hold back her tears and said through gritted teeth, "But I don't want to! I'm your brother, and I should be the one protecting you."
Taoist Master Yiqing suddenly said, "Stop arguing. There are too many people on the other side. No matter who leads the pursuers away, we will all be wiped out. It's better to stay together to avoid getting separated."
He is usually aloof and indifferent, but at this moment he is calmer than everyone else because of this characteristic. It seems like he has an outsider's perspective, so he sees things more clearly than anyone else.
This voice stunned the whole audience.
Indeed, they cannot afford the sacrifice of any one person.
Rather than sacrificing one person, it is better to fight with all your strength.
Taoist Master Yiqing spoke faster and faster: "Not far from this road is a line of sky, and beside the line of sky is Ding River. As long as we drive the pursuers into Ding River, the enemy's strength will be reduced, and then we will have a chance to fight."
As soon as the words fell, they heard the sound of rushing river, and saw that the road suddenly opened up.
This place is a natural barrier. The road in the middle is wide, barely enough for two carriages to drive side by side. There are dense cliffs beside the road.
Even though it is not the flood season, the river still hits the cliffs fiercely.
While everyone was on guard against pursuers, they also had to prevent themselves from falling and were secretly alert in their hearts.
At this moment, the prince's men arrived, and two guards, accompanied by a dozen men in black, rushed forward one after another.
Mu Qing put Hu Xin'er down and rushed forward...
