Chapter 151 She Runs and He Chases
A whistle sounded in the huge courtyard, and the Jingwei patrolling nearby rushed into the courtyard at the same time.
Huo Beiting looked coldly at the direction the woman fled, a hint of madness in his eyes that was determined to catch her. "Anyone who can catch her will be rewarded handsomely."
"yes!"
Hundreds of people moved together and rushed in the direction their master pointed.
Huo Beiting covered his eyes with a sinister look on his face. "Since you want to play this cat-and-mouse game, I'll play with you."
Sweat soaked the clothes on her back. Su Cheng almost broke her legs from running and was exhausted, but she didn't dare to stop, and couldn't stop, so she had to rush towards the door desperately.
When she fell from the second floor, she carefully observed that the gate of this villa was in the northeast corner.
If Xie Ming came alone to fight against Huo Beiting, it would be hard to say whether he could rescue himself.
She couldn't rely entirely on Xie Ming. Facing a powerful enemy, she could only save herself.
[Host, run boldly, Xie Ming is coming! ]
The yard seemed quiet and silent, but in fact, there was an undercurrent surging. The sky was a little gloomy and a storm was about to come.
Several footsteps were heard behind her. Su Cheng lifted her skirt and ran wildly without caring about her image. The silver hairpin on her bun almost fell off, so she took it off and held it in her hand. She did not stop, her long hair loosely draped behind her, and her green clothes became messy because of Huo Beiting's rough movements.
The gate was right in front of him, only a few steps away. A glimmer of hope flashed in Su Cheng's eyes, and his fatigue disappeared, leaving only the excitement of surviving the disaster.
【Host, be careful! 】
A feather arrow shot from behind Su Cheng, pierced her sleeve and nailed to the door.
Su Cheng was driven by this force, and her shoulder hit the door panel heavily. She looked up suddenly and met Huo Beiting's smiling eyes.
"Su Cheng, you don't really think you can run away, do you?" Huo Beiting took slow steps with his long legs, examining her pale face with interest. "Naughty girl, how many times have I caught you?"
"Or are you enjoying this chase?"
Su Cheng secretly exerted force and tore off half of his sleeve. He stared coldly at the man in front of him and sneered, "Huo Beiting, a scum like you is not worthy of my attention."
"You're not tall, but you're so arrogant." Huo Beiting looked at her dotingly, a smile on his face. "It doesn't matter. I've chosen you. No matter what you say about me, I'm willing to give you some ground."
"As long as you can be my canary, I will never let you suffer."
Huo Beiting had a playful smile on his face, his eyes half-closed, with a dark tide surging in his eyes, "Su Cheng, only I can protect you."
"Protect me?" Su Cheng sneered, his eyes full of sarcasm. "King Qin is really a forgetful man. I was on the verge of death several times, and every time was it not caused by you?"
"Protect me? Harming me is almost the same."
Huo Beiting seemed to have thought of something. He lowered his head and smiled, completely unconcerned with her words. "You and I love and hate each other. You didn't take advantage, and I didn't get any benefits either. We're even. In the future, I will treat you well."
"Su Cheng, let me put this on hold. As long as you're willing to marry me, I can divorce Sheng Qiulan at any time."
He now has absolute power and even looks down on the emperor. He is no longer a young man who needs to rely on his father-in-law to get ahead.
Sheng Qiulan's existence only reminds him again and again of the humiliating time when he was living under someone else's roof.
Now that he met Su Cheng, he finally knew what he really wanted.
Huo Beiting stretched out his hand towards her with a loving smile on his face, "Su Cheng, stop making trouble. Come here, come to me."
Su Cheng curled the corners of his lips slightly, pulled out a disdainful smile, and said loudly, "Xie Ming, did you hear that? Someone here wants to marry me!"
The next moment, the gate of the villa was suddenly broken open, and the sound of a sharp object rubbing against the blue brick floor was faintly heard.
As the dust flew, Xie Ming's handsome face with sharp edges and corners was faintly visible, with a bit of cold and arrogant sharpness. He had long hair tied up high, and was dressed in tight clothes. The red tasseled spear in his hand fell to the ground, and he walked into the yard with light steps with his long legs.
Seeing the person coming, Huo Beiting's face changed slightly, and a strong murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
How could Huo Beiting not recognize this person?
This is the real murderer who killed Mo Chou Mo Wei, and he killed his two main forces while fighting against ten Shadow Guards alone.
Huo Beiting lowered his eyes to look at the collapsed gate, a trace of solemnity appearing in his eyes.
Xie Ming's dark eyes narrowed slightly, and a strong sense of danger emanated from his body. "It was you who announced that you wanted to marry Ah Cheng?"
Huo Beiting curled his lips, his fingertips touched the long sword at his waist, and smiled maliciously, "Why, she is your woman?"
Xie Ming scoffed and shook his head slowly, "I'm her man."
Huo Beiting was stunned for a moment, and then the curve of his lips gradually deepened. "Interesting, you rushed to rescue the beauty, but are you sure you can defeat my group of Jingwei?"
"Whether you can win or not, you won't know until you try." Xie Ming gripped the spear tightly and said in a deep voice, "Ah Cheng, retreat behind me."
Su Cheng was self-aware and knew that if she acted rashly, she might end up making things worse. She obediently hid behind Xie Ming, still holding the dagger tightly in her hand.
"You're brave enough to challenge me." Huo Beiting sneered, "I quite admire your skills, but it's a pity that you're going to be dead soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was heard to speak in a low voice, "You go ahead and chop him into a paste. Don't hurt Su Cheng at all. Whoever cuts off this man's head will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver."
"yes."
Before the Jingwei could move forward, they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves, which seemed to be rushing towards the villa.
"Miss!"
Cai Lian's voice rang out, and Su Cheng looked back in a daze, seeing her coming on horseback, followed by a group of Zhao family servants.
Su Cheng raised his eyes to look at the man riding in the front, with a flash of shock in his eyes, "Thank... Thank you Jinyu?"
"Miss, are you okay?" Cai Lian was the first to dismount and rushed to Su Cheng, looking her up and down. Seeing her disheveled clothes, her eyes immediately turned red. "Miss... I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of you..."
"It's okay, you don't need to blame yourself." Su Cheng comforted her softly. When he looked up again, there was no sign of Huo Beiting in the courtyard. He frowned immediately, "Strange... Where did Huo Beiting go?"
"With so many people here, of course he'll run away." Xie Ming's eyes were filled with disdain, and his tone was cold. "He's simply a rat in the gutter. He doesn't even dare to appear in front of others openly."
There was a deafening bang, and Su Cheng was startled. He turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound. White smoke was still coming out of the hole of the pistol.
The Jingwei closest to Su Cheng fell down limply. Xie Jinyu lowered her eyes, opened her thin lips slightly, blew away the smoke from the muzzle of the gun, raised her phoenix eyes slightly, and smiled gently, "If you want to die, I will help you."
