That night.
The river water is cold and fast. There are special docks and ferries on both sides of the wide Zaqu River, but it is too late now and there is basically no one there.
Chu Li dismounted from the horse, and when the group was about to run towards the dock, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from a distance.
So fast.
Approaching rapidly.
"not good!"
"They're chasing us!"
The Eight Vajras did not expect that the Southern Barbarian Royal Family would be so fast. They looked at each other and ran away at the same time.
In an instant, Chu Li and Qin Muyu were the only ones left there.
no.
you……
Running so fast?!
Chu Li took Qin Muyu's wrist and said, "Let's get on the boat!"
Tap tap tap!
The sound of horse hooves came.
"Churi!"
The man's hoarse voice pierced through the darkness, full of brokenness and unwillingness. He was like a wounded lone wolf who had been chasing her day and night for two whole days, but in the end he only saw her back as she ran away without looking back.
A fishy-sweet smell rose up my throat.
His breathing became unstable, he felt dizzy, and fell off his horse.
Bang!
The huge inertia caused him to roll more than ten times and hit a rock. The loud noise made Chu Li look back and his heart tremble.
Chu Yeli fell down and hit his head, with bright red staining half of his face.
His red eyes were filled with tears, filled with too much attachment, reluctance, tenderness, and pain:
"Xiao Jiu..."
Didn’t they agree that they would stay together forever?
Didn’t they agree that she wouldn’t lie to him?
Why?
When he was a child, all his parents and relatives left him, leaving him alone in this world without any relatives or friends; now, even his only attachment is about to abandon him.
His thin lips trembled: "Xiao Jiu, don't you want me anymore?"
Chu Li's feet were frozen in place. During this moment of hesitation, a huge, thick net flew over and trapped her and Qin Muyu.
"Catch them!"
Tuoba Mingyue rode up on horseback, and the guards rushed forward and quickly captured the two men.
"Brother Yeli, are you okay?" Tuoba Mingyue immediately took out a handkerchief and pressed the wound on his head.
Chu Yeli brushed her hand away and staggered forward, dragging his injured foot.
"Fifth brother..."
Chu Li was captured by two guards.
Looking at his head covered in blood and his eyes with shattered light, Chu Li felt a little sad and a little guilty.
"Fifth brother, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to deceive you, but I really want to go back."
Chu Yeli looked at her.
My body hurts, and my heart hurts even more.
"I've said before, Da Chu is still Da Chu, everything is the same as before, only the people in power are different. You are still so eager to leave, is it for your family and friends, or for the regent?"
"This has nothing to do with the Regent."
Chu Li said sadly:
"This is different, it's different from before! I don't want to see smoke everywhere, blood flowing like a river, and I don't want to see the country destroyed and the family ruined! I don't want so many people to die! I don't want..."
Chu Yeli hugged her, "Shh, shh!"
The more she spoke, the more emotional she became.
Chu Yeli held her head in his arms and said, "Xiaojiu, I am not as concerned about the country and the people as you are. I have never had to worry about food and clothing since I was a child, so I am naturally carefree. But reality tells me that it is better for others to die than for myself."
So, no matter how many people die, it has nothing to do with him.
"But Xiaojiu, you really made me sad. I opened my heart to you, but you stabbed my heart with a knife."
"I didn't, Fifth Brother... I didn't do anything to hurt you, and I don't want you to get hurt..."
"Someone come."
Ayu stepped forward quickly.
Chu Yeli raised his hand, and a thin silver chain bound Chu Li's hands.
"Fifth brother!"
"Let her go...ah!" Qin Muyu struggled, and was punched in the abdomen by the guard.
The guard was very angry. In order to capture the fugitive, the brothers did not sleep for several days and nights.
run!
Keep running!
Young Master Chu is in their hands. If he dares to run away again, they will kill him!
Let you run!
The guard punched Qin Muyu hard, causing him to spit out blood.
"Don't hurt him! Don't touch him!" Chu Li struggled, "Fifth brother, tell them to stop! I won't run away, we won't run away!"
"They are the eldest princess's people. I have no right to give orders." Chu Yeli said.
Chu Li knew that he did it on purpose, but his hands were locked with silver chains, and he was panicked and helpless.
"Xiaojiu, you are very naughty."
"You betrayed my trust in you."
Chu Li pleaded, "Fifth brother, I didn't mean it. I just want to go home."
"I'm afraid it's more than that simple," Tuoba Mingyue came over and said in a deep voice, "If you want to go back to Da Chu, you have already escaped once before, why did you deliberately come back? In addition to rescuing General Qin, you also did other things."
However, she didn’t know what Chu Li had done for the time being.
When Chu Li was acting, he had the help of the Eight Vajras. In addition, Xiang Yue deliberately concealed Xiang Yu's disappearance and what happened that night, so Tuoba Mingyue could not find any unusual movements of Chu Li.
Chu Li's eyes flickered slightly, but returned to normal in just a moment:
"I came back just to find Qin Muyu and rescue Qin Muyu. I didn't do anything else."
"impossible!"
Tuoba Mingyue had a sharp intuition, and her woman's sixth sense told her that Chu Li's purpose of returning to the capital might not be as simple as rescuing Young General Qin.
Chu Li said:
"Qin Muyu and I are childhood sweethearts. We grew up together and are as close as brothers. He has disappeared in the capital and his whereabouts are unknown. In order to save him, I would risk my life, not to mention my own."
Qin Muyu looked at Chu Li with misty eyes.
Ahri...
Chu Yeli found it both ridiculous and pathetic.
She was reluctant to let Qin Muyu get into danger, so she was willing to abandon him?
Qin Muyu was vomiting blood, and she was so anxious that she begged him for mercy, but he fell off the horse, vomited blood due to internal injuries, had a broken forehead, and injured his leg, but she acted as if she didn't see anything.
Xiaojiu, are you too biased?
Tuoba Mingyue had seen Chu Li's character and knew that she was clever and smart, and was good at taking advantage of Chu Yeli's preference.
"Brother Yeli, if you believe me, why not hand Young Master Chu over to me for interrogation? I will be able to find out all her whereabouts and purpose in returning to the capital."
Only by prying her mouth open and finding out her purpose can they take better precautions.
Chu Li looked at Chu Yeli with hazy eyes: "Fifth brother, I am telling the truth."
"Brother Yeli, leave her to me."
"Fifth brother, no, I want to be with you. I want to stay with you."
Chu Yeli looked at her pleading appearance, and naturally softened his heart. He caressed the corners of her eyes distressedly, "Xiao Jiu, am I too good to you?"
