Zhang You couldn't help but laugh at himself in his heart.
Even at this time, Jingzhu was still designing.
They would agree to such a plan no matter what.
Zhang You looked up and exchanged glances with Chunhua. With just one glance, Zhang You could see the indifference in Chunhua's eyes.
When Dingzhou was in turmoil that year, it was Prince Qiao who guarded them and it was Princess Qiao who took them in.
Even if it wasn't for Qiao Si, they would jump into the fire pit even though they knew it was for Prince Qiao and Princess Qiao.
"Don't worry, Princess. We will divert the pursuers for you."
Just to protect Qiao Si, not for "you".
Zhang You spoke, and she squatted down, looking at the half-lying Qiao Si at eye level, as if at this moment, they had finally transcended the secular feudal world and were speaking words of farewell between life and death on an equal footing.
Qiao Si opened his lips slightly, but before any sound came out of his pale lips, Chunhua interrupted him: "They're coming! There's no time! Xia He, let's go!"
Zhang You was pulled up by Chunhua a little roughly. Qiao Si wanted to raise his injured right arm to hold Zhang You's hand, but in the end, he was still a step too slow.
Chunhua had already pulled Zhang You and was ready to leave.
Before leaving, she looked deeply at Jing Zhu and Qiao Si, and said only: "Protect the princess well."
Then, without looking back, she held Zhang You's hand tightly and ran to an open place a few dozen meters away, waiting for the group of people to notice them.
Zhang You could clearly feel Chunhua's hand holding his hand trembling slightly. It was very slight and easy to ignore in their hurried running, but Zhang You still felt it.
At this moment, they felt the same way.
They believe that human life is equal.
They were also willing to sacrifice themselves to protect Qiao Si.
Yet, there was someone who took their lives for granted! They treated their deaths as nothing to be regretted! This person was even a servant of theirs, a friend they had known for years!
It's chilling and painful.
"flower……"
Zhang You's voice was slightly tearful when she spoke again.
They were able to escape from the group of pursuers just now, but it took a lot of effort.
Zhang You's hands were nicked several times from the haste of setting the trap, but she kept silent throughout the journey. Chunhua also suffered a cut on her shoulder from fighting the enemy, but she also didn't complain. They were running for their lives, just wanting to stay alive, not caring about injuries.
Even though he was injured, Qiao Si could be bandaged and protected.
But they have to die consciously.
How can I not feel wronged?!
How can I not feel wronged?!
"It's okay... I'm here..." Chunhua's nose felt sore and her voice choked, but she still whispered to comfort Xia He.
Zhang You didn't bother to look at what was happening over there with Qiao Si and the others. She sniffed, swallowing back her sorrow. She looked at the pursuers in the distance and said, "They're coming."
Putting aside all the grievances and sadness for the time being, they also had to divert the pursuers.
A group of people came from a distance. There were about thirty of them. There were a few familiar faces among them. They were the ones who had just been chasing Zhang You and the others.
Chunhua deliberately shouted in panic, "They're catching up! Run!"
Zhang You followed her steps and walked deeper into the forest. The deeper they went into the forest, the higher the terrain became, the steeper the road became, and the more difficult it became to walk.
Chunhua looked back at the pursuers who were getting closer and closer, and she had already made the worst plan in her mind. She handed her hidden weapon to Zhang You.
As Zhang You and her escaped, he held the hairpin sword and looked at Chunhua in confusion: "What are you doing?"
"I'm afraid the road ahead is a dead end. You don't have a weapon with you, and they'll easily capture you. It's better to take it."
"But this pair is your weapon. I'm not used to using this, but maybe you can use it to save your life?"
"Don't refuse. You and I are sisters, and we are inseparable. I'm just afraid that today, you and I will live and die together." Chunhua mocked the current situation, but there was sadness in her eyes.
Yes.
What's the point of arguing about these things when they are in this situation where they are surrounded by enemies?
"To live and die together is also our destiny. It's a pity that others swear not to be born on the same day of the same month of the same year, but to die on the same day of the same month of the same year, and can even swear brotherhood as brothers and sisters. We have never sworn brotherhood, but we have to fulfill this oath." Zhang You accepted her hairpin and sword, and then said self-deprecatingly.
When they were really in desperate situations, they lost all their fear and even had the mind to joke.
"It's a pity. We've been through life and death several times, so why hasn't anyone thought of mentioning sworn brotherhood?"
Zhang You looked at Chunhua, who took her words seriously and looked a little annoyed, and couldn't help but smile.
A pure and relieved smile.
Including the twenty years in her previous life, Zhang You was already in her teens, but when they were together, Chunhua was more like an older sister than her. She was considerate and would take care of their emotions.
In this world, the bond between Chunhua, Qiuyue, and Dongmei and her was stronger than blood ties, if not more. Although she didn't know how Qiuyue and Dongmei were doing, they were leaving first today.
Zhang You felt she had no regrets at the end of her life, having lived a meaningful life, having died alongside her best friend. The little that remained, with her passing today, was a fulfillment.
They smiled at each other, and before they knew it, they had escaped to the cliff on the top of the mountain.
Zhang You looked at the cliff below him, a hundred meters high, and vaguely saw a patch of green trees below. Zhang You couldn't help but complain, "Ha, I didn't expect it to be a dead end. What bad luck..."
The pursuers had already surrounded them, blocking their path. When some of them saw that the person they were chasing wasn't Qiao Si, they spat in anger and pointed at them, cursing.
"You have been chasing us for so long, and we are doomed to die now. Why don't you satisfy my curiosity? Who sent you? Why do you want to kill us all?" Zhang You knew that there was no way to retreat, and he just wanted to delay time as much as possible.
"Little bitch! You killed so many of my brothers, why should I tell you!" One of the people who had chased Zhang You and the others before strode forward with a big knife in his hand, his eyes fierce, as if he wanted to skin them alive.
They looked like they were unwilling to waste any time on them. They were all ferocious and wanted to completely destroy their lives.
"We are just curious. After all, we are just maids and have not offended anyone." Chunhua took a step forward and raised her arms to protect Zhang You.
"Okay! Then I will mercifully tell you! How can the emperor tolerate clowns like you?" The man said the last part, roaring and slashing at them with a knife.
Chunhua reacted quickly, pushing Zhang You away in time. She stepped back quickly, drew her hairpin sword from her sleeve, and stabbed it straight into the back of the man's neck. Zhang You found the right moment and kicked him off the cliff.
Seeing that they were still struggling, the group of people behind them rushed forward with knives.
How could these two women be their opponents?
Chunhua looked at Zhang You and said gently, "Rather than dying at the hands of these beasts, it would be better for us to end our own lives!"
Zhang You nodded without hesitation.
After Chunhua finished speaking, she pulled Zhang You and jumped off the cliff.
