Chapter 177: Life is not meant to end
Xiao Jin rode his horse directly to Hu Wei, "Where's Su Ying?"
Hu Wei said sullenly, “She held the eldest prince of Chu hostage, so she asked us to come back first.”
Xiao Jin's dark pupils suddenly shrank, "Where is it!"
"It's a few miles outside the Chu State Pass."
Xiao Jin pulled the reins and turned to leave. Hu Wei also jumped on the horse and said, "I'll go with you."
Xiao Jin needed someone to lead the way, and he didn't refuse.
…
Xiao Jue's guards sent him back to the pass in the shortest time possible.
"Doctor, where is the doctor?"
"Military doctor, the military doctor is here."
After a flurry of activity, Xiao Jue was finally taken into the house and treated by a military doctor.
The military doctor opened Xiao Jue's collar and frowned when he saw the slight depression on his chest. Then he examined Xiao Jue's body and found that he had several fractures, but fortunately there were no fatal injuries and his life was saved.
Xiao Jue woke up in a burst of pain. When he opened his eyes, he saw his confidants waiting anxiously beside him. When they saw him open his eyes, everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Highness has woken up, that's great."
Xiao Jue wanted to speak, but he felt a blockage in his throat. He remembered that Su Ying had stuffed a handful of dirt into his throat before. He was instantly furious, but as soon as he moved, the pain in his body became more obvious.
"Your Highness is seriously injured, so it's better not to move." Seeing Xiao Jue was about to get up, the military doctor quickly stopped him.
Xiao Jue closed his eyes and recalled the scene when he was held hostage by Su Ying. He remembered that before he was pushed down by the woman without hesitation, she stabbed the dagger into his chest fiercely. At that moment, he really felt that he was going to die.
He slowly reached out his hand and touched his chest. Although it hurt, there was no wound. "I was stabbed... but I'm fine..." God really didn't let him go!
"I thought the dent on your chest was caused by a collision. You were wearing soft armor that could block the attack of sharp weapons. Did you forget that?" said a confidant on the side.
Xiao Jue suddenly realized that he had really forgotten about it. Fortunately, he was usually cautious, otherwise he would have really died at the hands of that woman this time.
"Where's that woman, Su Ying? Has she been caught?"
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I have already sent people to search."
Xiao Jue gnashed his teeth and said, "Even if the world outside the pass is turned upside down, you must bring her to me! She must be brought alive."
"yes."
Xiao Jue closed his eyes but he couldn't suppress the anger in his chest. He also couldn't understand why Su Ying suddenly became a different person. Had she been hiding from him all along?
Xiao Jue Jue didn't believe it. Why did she hide? Just to be exiled? How could this be possible!
No matter what, he must catch the man and find out the truth!
…
It was already daybreak when Su Ying came out of the space. The officers and soldiers did not find any trace of her on the slope, so they went to look for her elsewhere.
Su Ying climbed up the slope and prepared to go back.
Not long after she started walking, she met soldiers who were searching for her. She jumped up a tree and waited until the soldiers had passed by before jumping down from the tree.
After dodging repeatedly like this, she soon arrived at the entrance to the northern wilderness.
As soon as she walked in, she heard the sound of horse hooves.
Su Ying turned around and hid behind a big tree. When the sound of horse hooves got closer, she could see the person sitting on the horse clearly.
"Xiao Jin?"
Her voice was not loud, but Xiao Jin immediately looked towards her location.
Su Ying walked out from behind the big tree.
Xiao Jin kicked his horse's belly and ran towards her quickly. Before he reached Su Ying, he turned over and dismounted, looking deeply into her with his black eyes.
He didn't say anything, but Su Ying could see anxiety and worry in his eyes. "I'm fine. There are still pursuers behind us. Let's leave here first."
Seeing that there were indeed no signs of fighting on her body, Xiao Jin jumped on his horse and pulled her onto its back.
"Is Madam Su okay?" Hu Wei didn't expect Su Ying to escape so quickly.
Su Ying shook her head. "It's okay. Let's go back first."
"Walk."
As soon as Xiao Jin pulled the reins, the horse started running.
Su Ying was held in Xiao Jin's arms. At first, she moved uncomfortably, but the space on the saddle was too small. However, no matter how she moved, she couldn't help but stick to Xiao Jin's arms.
Just when she wanted to go behind Xiao Jin, he grabbed her waist and forced her back to his arms, "Don't move."
Su Ying found that the bumps she felt when leaning on him would be cushioned by his body, so she simply stopped struggling.
After riding for more than an hour, they finally saw the gate of Tiger Camp.
After Qiao Yang moved the things back, he waited at the door wall. When he saw Su Ying and the others running over from a distance, he waved his hands excitedly, "They're back, Madam Su and the others are back. Open the door quickly, open the door quickly."
The guard obeyed the order and quickly opened the gate. Xiao Jin and his companions rode straight in on horseback.
After entering the Tiger Camp, Xiao Jin stopped his horse and circled Su Ying to dismount.
"Madam Su, are you okay?" Qiao Yang ran down from the door wall and asked anxiously.
Su Ying shook her head. "It's okay. Are all the things delivered safely?"
"Don't worry, Madam Su. Everything has been put into the warehouse."
Su Ying nodded, as long as there was no problem with the things.
"Madam Su, how did you escape?" Hu Wei was extremely curious. Seeing that there was not even a trace of blood on Su Ying's body, could it be that she managed to escape without even moving her hands?
Su Ying explained: "I held Xiao Jue hostage to a slope, then I jumped down and took the opportunity to escape."
Su Ying put it simply, but Hu Wei felt that the situation at that time must have been very dangerous.
"We need to assign more people to guard this door. The enemy might come looking for us."
Hu Wei nodded, "Don't worry, Madam Su, just leave this matter to me."
"Okay, where are those chickens, ducks, cows and sheep? Drive them back for me."
"I have kept the animals in the backyard. I will have someone drive them out for Madam Su right away."
Qiao Yang ran to the backyard and asked people to drive out all the animals that Su Ying bought at the stall.
Su Ying hadn't seen her children for several days and wanted to go back as soon as possible. When the livestock were driven out, she and Xiao Jin took them home.
"You met Xiao Jue outside the pass." Xiao Jin spoke slowly.
"kindness."
Xiao Jin looked at Su Ying, who had no intention of saying anything more, and frowned, "What did he tell you?"
"He said he was here to take me back to Beijing."
Xiao Jin's brows knitted even tighter, "He recognized you."
"right."
"But I stabbed him and kicked him down the slope. Technically, he couldn't survive."
At that time, she didn't think about covering her face. She just wanted to use this face to kill the scum Xiao Jue, so that her use of this body would be worthwhile.
but……
Su Ying frowned. She was in a hurry to put the supplies into the space, and she didn't know whether Xiao Jue was dead or not after that slash of the knife.
