"What are you still standing there for? Run!"
Zhang You felt that the person behind him slowed down, and turned back anxiously to urge him.
Chunhua couldn't recover from the scene for a long time. She stuttered out of shock: "Look... it's amazing..."
The group of people didn't expect that there would be such a sinister hidden weapon, so sharp that it could take people's lives in an instant. They looked at the air in front of them cautiously, raised their knives and tested them carefully, and even slowed down their pace.
But even so, they still ignored the danger of this trap.
In addition to the silk threads at the height of the neck and chest in front of the eyes, there are also silk threads at the lower height near the feet. The few people walking in front had just raised their feet and were about to put them down when they were cut by the silk threads at the lower level.
“Ah! It hurts! It hurts so much!”
“Back off! Back off!”
"Help me! Help me!"
“Don’t go over there!”
"Damn it! What the hell is this!"
"Let's take a detour!"
The pursuers behind them were trapped in the invisible trap. Chunhua was so fascinated by it that she turned her head to look at Zhang You blankly and muttered, "Is your trap so powerful?"
Zhang You hurriedly glanced back and only vaguely saw that they were stopped at the entrance of the bamboo forest and could not move forward. She pulled Chunhua and continued to run.
"Forget about setting traps, the most important thing is to stay away from them!"
Zhang You was very aware of the trap she had set. That thing could only trap them for a while, and by the time they reacted and chased them, it would be too late.
Chunhua finally came to her senses and continued to escape with Zhang You, but she was not so nervous at this time.
Xia He still underestimated her own trap.
Judging from the reaction of that group of people, they were frightened by this vicious trap. They would not catch up in a short time, and they had a great chance of escaping from these people's pursuit.
However, looking at Xia He's expression, it was clear that she was still immersed in the fear of being chased. Chunhua didn't want to interrupt her, so she followed her and ran a long way.
The forest was very large and they didn't know how long they had been running. The surroundings were extremely quiet and there was no sound of pursuers. Zhang You finally stopped, bent over and gasped for breath.
Chunhua looked around and saw nothing unusual before she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's safe."
"Hoo-hoo-I'm so tired."
"Spring flowers? Summer lotus?"
Zhang You breathed in oxygen in big gulps, her ears buzzing from the intense running. She thought she might be hallucinating, otherwise how could she hear someone calling their names again.
"Huh?" Zhang You raised her head and looked around. She didn't see anyone. She turned her head to look at Chunhua, puzzled: "I think I'm hallucinating. I just heard someone calling our names!"
"It shouldn't be an auditory hallucination, I heard it too..." Chunhua narrowed her eyes slightly and looked around vigilantly, not missing any clues.
Zhang You was so shocked that he stood up straight immediately. He had just survived a disaster and hadn't even had time to catch his breath, so how could he be in danger again?
"Do you see anyone there? It seems like there's no sound." Zhang You quietly moved closer to Chunhua and whispered to her.
Chunhua just shook her head quietly without saying anything.
"Chunhua, Xiahe, here! Come here quickly!"
The sound rang out again, and Chunhua turned her head sharply to look at the small bushes on their left.
"What's going on? Is there someone there?!"
Zhang You carefully distinguished the patch of grass. The lush leaves obscured the situation there, but if you looked closely, you could see that the leaves were rustling.
After a while, a figure cautiously emerged from the other side.
Zhang You and the others took a closer look and realized that the person was Jing Zhu.
Her sleeves were covered in blood, and it seemed that they encountered danger while hiding.
No, Qiao Si was with her. She was injured like this, so what about Qiao Si?
"Jingzhu?"
Chunhua called out her name in confusion, and she also quickly realized Qiao Si's safety. Zhang You and she hurriedly ran towards Jingzhu.
Only when I got closer did I realize that Qiao Si was lying on the slope with pale lips.
There was a long cut on Qiao Si's right arm, and Jingzhu was just bandaging it to stop the bleeding, but she had only done half of it and hadn't finished it yet.
"What happened to the princess? Why is she so badly injured?"
Zhang You squatted down and tore off a piece of her undergarment to bandage Qiao Si's wound. She had no medicine on her, so she could only bandage Qiao Si's wound to stop the bleeding. As she bandaged him, Zhang You worriedly asked why.
"It's all because of me. If the princess hadn't saved me, my arm wouldn't have been cut by that man. It's all my fault." Jing Zhu's guilty voice sounded, and she looked at Qiao Si with worried eyes.
Qiao Si was still conscious, but she had just been slapped and slashed while trying to save Jingzhu, and she had lost a lot of blood, which was why her face turned pale.
Hearing this, she smiled slightly and shook her head at Jing Zhu: "It's okay, they are just minor injuries. We can only blame them for having too many people and chasing us non-stop, which is why we were almost caught."
"The princess encountered so many pursuers?" Chunhua asked doubtfully. Logically, their tactics of distraction should have dispersed the pursuers' forces, so how could so many people be chasing Qiao Si?
"There were only eight or nine of them at first. Jingzhu and I took advantage of the forest and had already shaken them off. Unexpectedly, the forest was full of their men. We didn't get far before we ran into another wave. Together with the ones chasing us, there were about twenty of them."
"The princess and I held out for a while and killed a few people, but it was difficult to move in the forest, and there were too many of them, so we were at a disadvantage. Fortunately, the princess did not abandon me and helped me break through the encirclement. The princess and I fled all the way here and took a short rest when we saw you. How did you escape?"
"We were lucky. We came across a dense bamboo forest. We hid here and there in a panic and finally escaped from them." Chunhua spoke before Zhang You could.
Zhang You raised his head slightly and glanced at Chunhua, but did not expose her.
Although she didn't know Chunhua's intention in hiding the trap, after spending so much time together, she subconsciously chose to trust her.
How could a person who doesn't abandon his friends at the moment of life and death harm his friends?
"Is that so..." Jingzhu seemed to be hesitant to speak. Chunhua didn't want to say more, but seeing Zhang You's expression, she asked, "What's wrong, Sister Jingzhu?"
"Hiding here isn't a long-term solution. Those people will soon catch up with us, and the princess is injured again..."
Everyone understood her unspoken meaning.
Zhang You couldn't explain what she felt in her heart. If she could, she would probably sneer.
No wonder Chunhua just stopped her and said that.
But whether Chunhua told Jingzhu about their escape or not, Jingzhu still planned to let them divert the pursuers for Qiao Si.
Even if she didn't say it, Zhang You and the others would have done it, otherwise they wouldn't have suggested putting on Qiao Si's clothes to distract the pursuers.
But I didn't expect that after so many years of being together, Jingzhu was still wary of them, suspecting that they would betray her, and deliberately said such words to test her.
