Chapter 120: A narrow escape from death, a glimmer of hope
"Listen to him and turn left!"
Seeing that Shang Yuwan also supported Xiao Qingxu's decision, Ji Suxian gritted her teeth and said, "Okay!"
Taking advantage of the opportunity when Yang Qianmo and Yue Zhu led a group of secret guards and guests to help cover, she changed the direction of the reins in her hand and headed straight for the cliff on the left.
Lu Heying wanted to bring his men over here, but was forced back by Xiao Qingxu's look.
He was horrified, but had no time to figure out the deeper meaning of Xiao Qingxu's look, so he could only lead the others to run towards the official road.
When Bai Xiaoye saw Lu Heying's behavior, he was shocked: "Lu Heying, what are you doing?!" He was so frightened that he didn't even care about the title of deputy owner.
"Do what the original poster wants! Trust him!"
The people of Langjiang did not give Lu Heying a chance to explain, and immediately split up into two groups to chase after Ji Suxian and the other two.
Yuan Ji wanted to change the route but was stopped by the secret guards.
"Get out of the way! Can't you see they're going to the left?"
The secret guard remained silent. Seeing that Yuan Ji was still trying to keep fighting, he immediately chopped him down with a knife, knocked him unconscious, and threw him into the carriage.
Before Yuezhu set out this time, he had given instructions that he should protect whoever's carriage he was on and not worry about anyone else.
The Grand Censor and the Deputy Censor are both here, and there is also a princess and three children inside. The secret guards will never take the risk to chase Xiao Qingxu and his men.
On the other side, Xiao Qingxu shouted to Ji Suxian: "Give me my medicine and hers!"
A long knife was swung over while Yang Qianmo and Yue Zhu were unable to escape. Shang Yuwan heard the sound of the knife breaking through the air, and grabbed Xiao Qingxu to barely avoid it, but his arm was cut.
She gritted her teeth and said nothing, and Xiao Qingxu hugged her tightly, using her as a cushion - although it was also uncomfortable for Shang Yuwan to be underneath him.
Ji Suxian pulled the medicine box off her body and threw it over without even looking back, "Everything in there is yours!"
The poison had been used up completely, and no one knew where the other medicines had gone. Inside were the pills left for Xiao Qingxu's life-saving pills and half of the Nine Revolutions Pill that Shang Yuwan risked his life for. Apart from these things, there was only a set of silver needles left that the old medicine man gave to Ji Suxian.
Xiao Qingxu reached out and took it in his arms, but was almost thrown off the carriage because of the bumps of the carriage and the attacks of the Langjiang people. Fortunately, Yue Zhu supported his back with his hands and held him up, braving the attacks of the Langjiang people.
"What are you doing?" Yue Zhu's shoulder was bleeding from the knife wound. If it had been a little further away, a little deeper, he would have either broken half of his neck or lost his entire arm.
They were under tremendous pressure, as most of the Langjiang people were chasing them.
Xiao Qingxu glanced at Yue Zhu deeply and said, "Protect my little sister."
Yue Zhu felt something was wrong. After Xiao Qingxu said this, he hung the strap of the medicine box around his neck and swung it back, then picked up Shang Yuwan who was dodging the attack and jumped onto the horse's back.
"Xiao...!" Ji Suxian's pupils shrank suddenly. Before she could react, Xiao Qingxu pulled out the dagger hidden in his boots and cut the belt between the horse and the carriage, then rode the horse and galloped towards the cliff.
Yang Qianmo was shocked: "Miss!!"
He chased after him madly.
Ji Suxian's eyes widened. When the carriage was about to fall, Yue Zhu pulled her hard and she avoided the attack of the Langjiang people.
She gritted her teeth, veins bulging!
"You bastard...you're such a fucking bastard!!!"
Ji Suxian didn't dare to let Xiao Qingxu jump off the cliff with the injured Shang Yuwan in his arms. While dodging the attacks of the Langjiang people, he sped up madly and ran towards the two men.
Even if there was a river below the cliff, those two people would be in danger of death if they jumped in!
"Yuan Ji! Yuan Ji?!"
When Xiao Qinggu saw Yuan Ji being thrown in and still unconscious despite being shaken left and right, his heart suddenly trembled.
She handed the unconscious Yuan Ji to Baili Pu's care, stepped forward and lifted the curtain of the carriage to see that most of the people from Langjiang chasing them were gone.
A dart was thrown at him, but fortunately Xiao Qinggu reacted in time and dodged it by bending down.
The dart flew into the carriage and stuck to the ground. Baili Pu was so scared that she hugged Yuan Ji and shrank inside. The three children also grabbed Baili Pu's clothes and hid together.
Left...left...Xiao Qinggu had heard Xiao Qingxu shout "left" several times before. She thought for a moment and suddenly got shocked - there was a cliff on the left!
"Kill them!" Seeing that there were fewer people in Langjiang, Xiao Qinggu thought of killing everyone here and then chasing Shang Yuwan and the others.
The secret guards acted as if they didn't hear anything and just kept rushing towards the official road.
Seeing that shouting didn't work, Xiao Qinggu went to call Lu Heying and yelled at the top of his voice: "Deputy Building Master! That's a cliff! The Building Master and the others are going to jump off the cliff!!!"
The people of Langjiang separated most of their people to hunt down Shang Yuwan and Xiao Qingxu simply because the two were the think tanks among these people. People like Baili Pu, Yuan Ji and Xiao Qinggu, who held official positions or had status, could be released. As long as they got closer and closer to Kyoto, the princess had plenty of ways to make them die in "accidents" or imprison them for life.
Only Shang Yuwan and Xiao Qingxu are different.
One is the Shang family who hate the prince and the eldest princess to the core. The people of Langjiang know the Shang family's style very well. They, Langjiang, only occupied one city in Dayu back then, but not long after, Shang Junhu led his troops to capture three whole cities. They are like a vicious beast and will never give up until they get revenge. It will only bring bad things if Shang Yuwan stays.
The other is the backbone of Baijialou. The power of Baijialou cannot be underestimated. Only by killing the backbone will Baijialou become a mess and pose no threat to Langjiang and Kyoto.
Shang Yuwan and Xiao Qingxu both understood this truth, so they left Ji Suxian and the others behind and rode their horses to the cliff to lure away the people from Langjiang.
A narrow escape, a narrow escape.
What they are betting on is that glimmer of hope!
Lu Heying hadn't originally thought of the terrain over there, and thought Xiao Qingxu had come up with some clever plan. Upon hearing this, he immediately turned around and, while doing everything he could to kill the Langjiang people who were blocking his way to rescue the people, he chased in the direction of Shang Yuwan and the others.
The guests in the building were stimulated by this and became ruthless, fighting to the death with the people of Langjiang.
Except for the secret guards, the combat effectiveness of the Louke people was greatly improved, but it still cost the lives of more than ten people to kill all the Langjiang people.
"Cheng Yishui, you escort the princess and the others to the official road post station. Bai Xiaoye, bring your men and follow me to rescue the building owner and the monk!"
There were not only caravans on the official road, but also government officials. As long as they entered the post station, the people of Langjiang could only stay away.
If they continue to chase after them, and the matter becomes a big deal and exposed, Langjiang will definitely be in trouble!
But how could Xiao Qinggu agree? He immediately grabbed a horse and chased after him.
Seeing this, Lu Heying did not insist. He did not have time for any affectionate drama of "you go and I don't go", so he took his men and rode away to rescue people.
Judging from Xiao Qingxu's physique and Shang Yuwan's injuries, they really can't afford to suffer any more serious blows!
Yi Buyuan, Yuan Feng and others also chased to rescue him. That was his contact person and the prophet's apprentice. Without them, how could Yi Buyuan fight against Qu Qi and the eldest prince for the throne?
Cheng Yishui was holding back his anger and led the secret guards and several guests to send the person to the official road post station as quickly as possible.
"——Shang Yuwan and Xiao Qingxu!!!!"
Ji Suxian was fighting with the Langjiang people in the back while screaming heartbreakingly: "Stop!!!"
Xiao Qingxu? !
Yue Zhu was shocked. The owner of Baijialou was His Royal Highness Prince Qi?! No wonder... no wonder His Majesty hadn't taken any real action against these people!
Yang Qianmo's expression also changed, but he didn't have time to think about it. He just wanted to quickly stop the two people riding horses in front of him.
Although he didn't know what was over there, it must not be a place that could make Ji Suxian so panicked!
Shang Yuwan listened to the noise behind him and felt the sharp wind on his face. "What's that in front?"
Xiao Qingxu didn't answer but asked: "Do you believe me?"
She answered without hesitation: "Yes."
Xiao Qingxu saw the cliff and tightened his arms around Shang Yuwan's waist.
"Then—"
Ji Suxian's heart trembled, and before she could even reach out her hand to keep him, she said, "No..."
The horse's hoof leaped fiercely on the edge of the cliff—
"Jump!!!"
