If you look closely, you'll see that Gu Hui is covered in cold sweat.
She held an arrow in one hand and Xi Shi's heart in the other.
Instead of running away, she ran towards the assassin who was charging towards her.
"Ahhh..." Gu Hui roared, as if cheering herself up. Just as she was about to run into the assassin, she suddenly stopped, leaned back, and straightened up from the side. An arrow pierced the assassin's waist steadily, and at the same time, her arm was also cut by the assassin.
At this point, she could no longer feel the pain. As the assassin collapsed in pain, she kicked him away.
At this moment, Meng Meng also dealt with the two men and ran over to help.
Gu Hui stepped forward, pried open the assassin's mouth, and fed him a heart-shaped piece of Xi Shi (a type of glutinous rice).
Just then, Meng Meng kicked away the assassin's wildly slashing sword.
"Don't kill him!" Gu Hui suddenly said.
Meng Meng: "?"
Gu Hui sat down on the ground and explained, "He can't move. Right now, he just feels like he's living a life worse than death. Even if General Yan takes this pill, he still won't be able to move."
Meng Meng wiped away his sweat and suddenly noticed that Gu Hui's arm was bleeding profusely, with flesh bulging out. He tore off a piece of his own arm and rushed over to bandage it for Gu Hui, saying, "You should have hidden better and waited for me to deal with them. You took such a dangerous risk!"
Gu Hui glanced at Meng Meng speechlessly: "I gave you the powder just now so that they could get closer and we could act together. You suddenly rushed out, completely ruining my plan!"
Meng Meng: "!"
Gu Hui clutched her arm, struggled to her feet, walked to the edge of the cliff, and peered down. She couldn't see the bottom. Then, holding her breath, she shouted, "Xin Xin, A Yuan! Xin Xin, A Yuan, can you hear me?"
At this moment, Lu Zheng and Gu Xin are hanging on the cliff.
Lu Zheng held onto a thick tree trunk growing from the cliff face with one hand and held Gu Xin with the other, struggling to stay upright. He looked around for a place for Gu Xin to grab onto, but he couldn't find one.
Gu Xin clung to Lu Zheng's waist with both hands, resting her head on his chest, too terrified to move.
Just as the carriage fell off the cliff, Lu Zheng was carrying Gu Xin and jumping out, so he didn't fall to the bottom of the cliff with the carriage.
Having traveled between Yuzhou and Zhoujia Town many times before, Lu Zheng knew that falling off this cliff could only result in one thing: death.
Gu Xin's voice trembled slightly: "Brother Yuanyuan."
Lu Zheng: "Xinxin, don't talk. Save your strength. I'm looking for a safe place. Save your strength to climb to a safe place later. Don't be afraid, I'm here. You won't fall."
Gu Xin replied in a muffled voice, "Mm."
With his back against the cliff and his hands gripping the tree roots, Lu Zheng was holding Gu Xin in his arms, feeling like he couldn't hold on any longer.
He could only see left and right, not up and down. If he made a big movement, he might lose his balance and both of them would fall.
However, there was nowhere to step or grab on either side.
Lu Zheng clearly felt his hand slipping, so he asked, "Xin Xin, look up. Look at me holding onto the tree trunk. Can you stand up?"
Gu Xin looked up and said, "Brother Yuanyuan, this tree is loose. No, if I stand on it, you'll definitely fall."
Lu Zheng could feel the tree was loose, which was why he was so anxious. With Xin Xin's weight, she could definitely stand on it and hold up. Then Hui Hui and Meng Meng could find a rope to lower down and pull Xin Xin up.
