Chapter 72 Falling off a cliff
Xiao Linyuan brought eight secret guards, plus Chunsheng, and forced the men in black outside the clinic, refusing to let them get close to Song Zijin.
The yard became quiet. Song Zijin leaned against the door and listened for a long time, then pushed the door open a little.
There were several corpses scattered in the middle of the yard, and the blood turned black under the moonlight, which made Song Zijin's scalp tighten.
She didn't dare stay here alone, so she tiptoed into the yard.
She had only taken three steps when she noticed someone falling from behind. From the shadow on the ground, she could clearly see that the person was in mid-air, holding a big knife in his hand and slashing at her.
When people are extremely frightened, they cannot make any sound.
Just when she thought she couldn't escape, Fu Yue came out from nowhere and pushed her away.
"No!" Song Zijin cried silently, heartbroken.
At the moment when the knife was about to fall on Fu Yue's head, a dagger flew from a distance and accurately pierced the black-clothed man's shoulder. Then a hidden weapon flew over and knocked the knife away.
Song Zijin turned around and saw that it was Xiao Linyuan!
"Your Majesty!" she shouted, but found that she could not make any sound.
Without waiting for Xiao Linyuan to fly over, the man in black reacted quickly, pulled out the dagger from his shoulder and put it across Song Zijin's neck.
Fu Yue was thrown hard and struggled to stand up, trying to knock down the man in black.
"Stop, everyone. If you come any closer, I'll kill her!"
Fu Yue didn't dare to move. Xiao Linyuan landed in the middle of the yard, tightly gripping the sword in his hand.
After seeing Xiao Linyuan's face clearly, the man in black was stunned and said in disbelief: "King Jinyue? Aren't you paralyzed?"
Xiao Linyuan stared at the dagger, his eyes as sharp as a knife. "You should know my martial arts skills. If you dare to touch her, I will cut you into pieces and make you live a life worse than death!"
There was murderous intent in his eyes. If it weren't for Song Zijin, the man in black was sure that he would be torn to pieces by this god of war.
This was a side that Song Zijin had never seen before.
The man in black laughed heartily, "King Jinyue, I didn't expect you to be cured by this little girl. I must kill her!"
As he spoke, he exerted a little force with the dagger in his hand, and a blood mark instantly appeared on Song Zijin's white neck.
"Don't touch her, I can let you go." Xiao Linyuan tried to comfort her.
"Then put down your sword first! Do you still think you're that majestic prince? You're just a dying man now! The poison in your body could erupt at any moment, don't you know?"
Xiao Linyuan sneered and threw the sword at his feet. "If you could really die at any time, why would you be so afraid of me and threaten me with a weak woman?"
The man in black was furious, "Let me and my brothers go, or we will both die!"
Song Zijin was trembling with pain, but she gritted her teeth and didn't cry out.
"Your Majesty... leave me alone..."
These men in black already knew Xiao Linyuan's secret. If they returned alive, an imperial edict would come from the palace that night to punish them.
The crime of deceiving the emperor is so serious that I am afraid that the entire palace will be wiped out.
Isn't this just giving the emperor a handle?
"Don't talk!" Xiao Linyuan interrupted harshly, "I said I would protect you!"
The man in black sneered, "What a deep affection you have for me. But unfortunately, you all have to die today!"
After saying that, he retreated holding Song Zijin.
Xiao Linyuan wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by other men in black.
These men were no match for Xiao Linyuan. After finishing them off in a few moves, he leaped onto his horse and instructed Chunsheng, "Just leave one alive!"
"yes!"
Fu Yue tried to chase after him, but how could two legs outrun four? Finally, he fell to the ground, bursting into tears.
In the dark night, the two horses passed through the deserted streets and alleys and came to the edge of a cliff in the suburbs.
The night wind was blowing hard, making the clothes rustle. Song Zijin opened his eyes and could clearly see the miasma-filled cliff below him.
Xiao Linyuan dismounted and approached the cliff step by step.
"Xiao Jin wants to kill her because he hates her deception. But if he kills her, I will still be alive. Your ultimate target should be me. I am willing to exchange my life for hers. If you release her, I will lay down my weapon and follow you. How do you do that?"
He appeared calm on the surface, but inside he felt like he was walking on a tightrope, trembling and unable to be careless at all.
He was afraid something might happen to her.
"King Jinyue, do you think I'm a three-year-old child?" The man in black grinned fiercely. His life was already in countdown.
Having helped Xiao Jin kill so many people, he had long thought that this day would come, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.
Before he died, he wanted to take someone with him.
"Tell me, if I push her down, will you jump down too?"
"You dare!" Xiao Linyuan's eyes were bloodshot.
The man in black challenged, "Then give it a try!"
After saying that, he suddenly pushed Song Zijin off the cliff.
"No!" Xiao Linyuan rushed forward regardless of everything.
The long sword was faster than the wind and pierced into the chest of the escaping man in black, and Xiao Linyuan himself jumped up and followed him.
The man in black clutched his chest, his mouth full of blood. "He's really a guy who doesn't care about his life..."
There was the sound of whistling wind in his ears. In that brief moment, Song Zijin's mind was filled with the kaleidoscope of his short life.
Her parents must be very sad now that she is gone, right?
They were safe now, and she felt relieved.
Xiao Linyuan, will you be sad?
I guess so, but he has so many missions, he definitely doesn’t have that much time to be sad.
"Zijin!"
She was stunned. Why was she hallucinating before she died?
Is the figure following not far away Xiao Linyuan?
Idiot, why did he jump down...
Before she could ask, the next moment, the two of them fell into the cold pond one after another.
The biting cold instantly swept through his body, and Song Zijin felt as if all the blood in his body was about to solidify.
The water in the pool was clear, and she could clearly see Xiao Linyuan swimming towards her with all his might. The closer he got, the more clearly she could see the paleness on his face.
Was it the cold pond that triggered the poisonous insect attack?
Xiao Linyuan hugged her tightly and used his last bit of strength to lift her out of the water.
"Don't be afraid... I'm here..."
Before he could finish, he fainted.
Song Zijin finally reacted, grabbed his hand the moment he sank, and desperately dragged him to the shore.
It took a lot of effort to pull the man to the shore.
She didn't care that she was soaking wet, she put him on the ground and tremblingly tried to feel his pulse.
His pulse was so weak that it was almost undetectable. Xiao Linyuan's face was as pale as paper, and his lips had turned purple.
It really is a sign of the poison attack!
It must be because the temperature here is similar to that of the Holy Ai Kingdom a hundred years ago, and the poisonous insects are too excited and become active.
According to medical books, in this situation, the only way to contain the poisonous insect is to raise his body temperature.
But, with such a deserted area around, where can I find cotton clothes and a fire?
Song Zijin's heart was in a knot. If Xiao Linyuan was not treated in time, he might not survive the night.
"Prince, wake up..." She gently patted Xiao Linyuan's face, her voice filled with tears.
Xiao Linyuan didn't react at all, and his breathing became weaker and weaker.
The cold pond was not far from the cliff, so they were lucky enough not to fall to their deaths.
But there is miasma all around, and you will die if you breathe too much.
Now there is only one way to quickly heat up the human body——
