Chapter 280 Chu Jin, you are looking for death
After escaping from the Yunqiu enclosure, Chu Jin held Manluo tightly in his arms, jumped up on tiptoe, and his red robe turned into a shadow in the night.
He used his Qinggong skills to run for more than thirty miles in one breath. He only slowed down his pace when the shouting and screaming in his ears gradually faded away.
Manluo in his arms struggled the entire time, digging her nails into his arms and kicking his calves with the tips of her boots. The barrage of abuse never ceased:
"Chu Jin, you bastard, let me go!"
"Chu Jin, where are you taking me?"
"Chu Jin, if you don't let me go, I'll curse your ancestors for eight generations..."
Chu Jin turned a deaf ear and just tightened his arms.
His shoulder had already been stabbed by the fake "Manluo", and the knife was tempered with the "Cold Pond Viper" poison. At this moment, he forced his internal energy to run wildly with her in his arms. At this moment, he only felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, and a fishy and sweet taste was surging in his throat. His vision gradually became gray.
When he reached a small path, his steps suddenly weakened, and Manluo took the opportunity to bite his wrist fiercely:
"You bastard, why don't you let go!"
Chu Jin let go of her in pain and threw her onto the pile of firewood on the side of the road.
Manluo fell into the haystack with a cry of "ouch", and straw fragments were all over her hair.
"Ah, Chu Jin, you're looking for death!"
Manluo was about to get up and curse again, but she saw Chu Jin's tall figure falling down like a kite with a broken string, throwing her into the haystack again, burying his whole face in her chest.
"You, you, you are so bold."
Manluo was furious and annoyed. She raised her hand and slapped Chu Jin in the face:
"It's already this late, and you're still thinking about that!"
The slap landed, but Chu Jin didn't react at all. His heavy body pressed on her so hard that she could hardly breathe.
She pushed hard, and the man's body slumped to the side.
Manluo's heart skipped a beat, and she kicked him in the side:
"Hey, why are you pretending to be dead? Get up!"
Chu Jin remained motionless, even his breathing was so weak that it was almost inaudible.
Manluo hurriedly took out the flashlight from her waist and took a closer look. She saw that Chu Jin's face was as dark as lacquer, and blood foam was oozing from the corners of his lips, with a strange dark purple hue. The clothes on the knife wound on his shoulder were soaked with blood, and a red stain as big as a bowl was spread out.
"Ouch!" Manluo's pupils suddenly shrank.
At this moment, she remembered that in broad daylight, the fake "Manluo" stabbed Chu Jin's shoulder with a knife, and the blade was tempered with the venom of the cold pond viper.
That was the killing move Xiao Nanyue prepared specifically for Chu Jin.
Chu Jin was already poisoned, and he forced himself to use his internal energy to escape. Now the poison was attacking his heart, and he might not be able to survive even tonight, let alone three days.
Manluo felt a pang of bitterness in her heart, and kicked him hard again, her voice trembling unnoticed:
"You idiot, why did you save me? I can't die, but you are going to die!"
Her fingertips touched the embroidered bag in her arms. Inside, three small porcelain bottles lay side by side. One of the pink porcelain bottles contained the "Qinglin Powder" that could detoxify vipers.
If Chu Jin takes it now, his life can be saved.
But Manluo understood that this time, Xiao Nanyan deliberately wanted Chu Jin to die, just to cut off her thoughts and make her work for him wholeheartedly in the future.
Once this medicine is taken, it will be a blatant betrayal of Xiao Nanyue.
She knew the regent's methods well. He was cruel, treacherous, and vicious, and there was no way for traitors to survive.
Manluo clenched the medicine bottle and put it back into the embroidered bag. She hardened her heart, turned around and wanted to leave.
But after taking a few steps, her palm subconsciously touched her flat belly - there was a little life growing there, the flesh and blood of Chu Jin.
Just now, in the chaos, with arrows raining down, it was Chu Jin who used his body to protect her in his arms, never letting go;
It was he who, despite his injured body, forced her to break through the siege.
For her, he even betrayed the queen and the prince. He did more for her than she did for him.
And if she does not help him at this moment...
"My enemy, I really owe you in my past life!"
Manluo stomped her feet hard, turned around suddenly, and took out the pink medicine bottle from the embroidered bag again.
This time, she no longer hesitated, squatted down, lifted Chu Jin's upper body, and leaned him against her arms.
Then, he poured out two pills, pried open Chu Jin's clenched teeth and forced them down his throat.
Seeing his Adam's apple rolling, Manluo knew that he had swallowed the medicine, and her heart suddenly felt a lot more at ease.
But suddenly, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She hated him and herself at the same time. She raised her hand and slapped him twice in the face, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably onto his cold cheek.
"Chu Jin, you bastard! You made me betray my master... If I die, even as a ghost, I won't let you go!"
The night wind blew up the debris from the firewood pile, and she couldn't help shivering.
She hugged her knees and huddled beside Chu Jin, listening to his gradually steady breathing, her fingertips unconsciously twisting the corner of his clothes.
There were a few dog barkings coming from the village in the distance. The moonlight shone through the gaps in the big tree behind her, illuminating the lingering tears on her face.
She betrayed her master but saved the father of the child in her womb.
Manluo looked up at the starry sky and thought to herself:
The chaos that spread from Yunqiu Paddock ultimately forced her to choose a path of no return between love and hate, life and death.
