Chapter 31: Chase
In fact, those men in black were not coming for Du Huaizhi, it just happened to be a coincidence. When Du Huaizhi was standing here, a young man in green clothes suddenly rushed over from a distance, and behind that young man were more than ten men in black chasing him.
The dozen or so men in black discovered the witness Du Huaizhi and several of them came over here, ready to silence him.
Du Huaizhi knew that Du Ruozhi was secretly watching her not far away, so she did not run towards Du Ruozhi, but turned around and ran into the depths of the dense forest.
I thought of running inside, taking care of them, and then coming out, but unfortunately I didn't bring a knife, which was a bit of a hassle.
Du Ruozhi was at a loss. She didn't dare to say anything, and was worried that Du Huaizhi was in danger. Just when she was at a loss, a familiar figure came into her sight.
On this side, Xie Sui received some very bad news. Li Zixian was chased by an assassin on the way to the horse farm, and Xue Feiheng had sent people to rescue him.
However, there were too many assassins, so to ensure that nothing could go wrong, the Regent ordered all the officials in the horse farm who were good at martial arts to go and help, and Xie Sui, who was on leave, was no exception.
Although he didn't know what the prince's intention was, since it concerned Li Zixian, Xie Sui had to go no matter what. But at this moment, the corner of his clothes suddenly tightened, and Xie Sui lowered his head to meet a pair of tearful eyes.
"Thank you, sir. Please save my sister." Du Ruozhi's voice was filled with tears. No one would be able to refuse her because of her pitiful appearance.
…
Just as Du Huaizhi was thinking about how to escape, the road ahead suddenly became clear.
Du Huaizhi was slightly stunned. Who could tell her how there could be a cliff in the woods not far from the royal horse farm?
Du Huaizhi stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down. It was bottomless and shrouded in mist. If he fell from here, it would probably be painful.
The men in black were approaching step by step with knives in hand. Du Huaizhi looked back at them, gave up fighting with them, and jumped off the edge of the cliff.
The men in black stood at the edge of the cliff, looking at each other, obviously not expecting her to do this.
Du Huaizhi jumped down and grabbed the vines on the cliff wall to cushion his fall, slowing down his falling momentum.
Several men in black seemed to be trying to determine whether Du Huaizhi could still survive. They watched for a moment, but ultimately did not dare to jump off the cliff rashly and had to leave in disappointment.
Du Huaizhi stuck to the rock wall. The movement above gradually disappeared. She looked up and saw that the cliff was steep. It would probably take some effort to climb up, and the bottom was still bottomless. She had no choice but to go up.
The wind on the cliff was whistling past. Just after climbing up a little, he felt another group of people coming to the edge of the cliff, and Du Huaizhi's body pressed back against the cliff wall.
Du Huaizhi caught a glimpse of something falling from the side and subconsciously reached out to catch it, but she regretted it after catching it.
What she caught was not a thing, but the young man in green clothes who had caused her to be chased into this situation in the forest before.
With his weight added, the vines suddenly tightened, making a "creaking" sound as if they could not bear the weight, and fell down half a body length. Du Huaizhi let go of his hand and wanted to throw him down, but he was entangled in his wrist tightly.
Du Huaizhi: “…”
The young man was still in shock. The support was like grabbing a life-saving straw, and his instinct for survival made him hold on tightly.
"Thank you." He raised his head, and after seeing the face of the man who saved him, his expression froze, his pupils trembled, and then he was ecstatic.
At this moment, Du Huaizhi seemed to be covered with a halo in his eyes, so bright that people couldn't take their eyes off her.
"It's you..." The boy was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes.
Du Huaizhi, on the other hand, was like a pool of stagnant water, without a single ripple. The vines, unable to support the weight of the two people, fell again. Du Huaizhi looked towards a protruding rock on the side, where there was a platform.
"I'll do the hard work later, you go over there," she said.
The young man's gaze then moved away from Du Huaizhi's face, looked at the place she was pointing at, and nodded at her. His eyebrows were clear, and his face, which was covered with dust, could not hide the brilliance in his eyes.
"On the count of three, I'll swing you over." She estimated the protruding rock platform three meters away. "I won't be responsible if you die from the fall."
"good."
"three."
juvenile:"!!!"
Du Huaizhi used his right leg to push against the rock wall, exerting a sudden force to fling the boy toward the platform, but the reaction force swung him backward. The vine finally couldn't bear the weight and broke with a "snap".
At the critical moment, a vine swung in front of her. Du Huaizhi quickly grabbed the vine and her body drew an arc in the air. She looked up and saw the young man in green clothes lying on the edge of the platform, holding the other end of the vine in his hand.
"Hold on tight!" Veins bulged on the boy's forehead, his arms trembled slightly from the force, his sleeves were torn by the rocks, and the flesh inside was scraped with blood.
Du Huaizhi took advantage of the situation and grabbed the vines nearby. She tapped the rock wall with her toes and flipped over to the platform. As soon as Du Huaizhi had landed on the platform, the young man sat down on the ground. The wound on his arm was bleeding, but he still smiled at her, "Good skills."
"Shut up." Du Huaizhi said coldly, his ears moving slightly. From the top of the cliff above, there came the sound of chaotic footsteps, mixed with the sound of weapons striking each other, at least seven or eight people.
Du Huaizhi turned to look at the boy, his expression cold and serious, "If I throw you down now, will they let me go?"
The young man was stunned, his dark eyes reflected a dark shadow coming with a knife. "Be careful!" he shouted, trying to push Du Huaizhi away, but was kicked aside.
The man in black landed between the two men, and the blade of his knife brushed past the corner of Du Huaizhi's clothes. Du Huaizhi grabbed the knife with his backhand, kicked the man in black off the cliff, then turned around and stabbed the other man in black in the stomach.
Blood splattered on Du Huaizhi's cold, pale face, and she didn't even blink. The third man in black took the opportunity to raise his knife and chop at her back, but was hit on the wrist by a flying piece of gravel.
"Don't touch her!" Li Zixian climbed up at some point, holding a few sharp rocks in his hands.
Without even turning back, Du Huaizhi swung the knife she had snatched, piercing the black-clad man's throat with pinpoint accuracy. She walked to the edge of the platform and saw several more ropes dangling from the clifftop, with more black-clad men rapidly descending.
"Mommy, a kiss." She cursed softly. Did this boy dig up someone's ancestral grave and resell it? He had so many people chasing him.
"Girl, please go away and don't worry about me." At the critical moment, the boy came up with an idea that he thought was brilliant.
Du Huaizhi glanced back at him with a subtle expression. The young man seemed to realize something, and his handsome face, which had been pale with fear, instantly regained its rosy color.
Du Huaizhi tore off a piece of cloth, wrapped it around his palm, and then grasped the hilt of the knife. "It's very expensive to hire me as a bodyguard. Remember to pay me when you go up later."
As soon as he finished speaking, the blade slashed across the black-clad man's throat, blood splattering on the rock wall. Du Huaizhi's figure was like a ghost, dodging and moving on the narrow platform, each strike accurately harvesting a life.
