Gu Jinxiu on the platform quickly realized that something was wrong and became anxious: "Where are the people? Did they fall to the bottom of the valley? And where are the people who went down to chase them just now?"
It's been half a day and there's still no sound?
Seeing that the soldiers brought by Gu Jinke, who were blocked above the cave by them, broke through the encirclement and jumped down, and were fighting with the rest of her people, she had not yet received the accurate news of Gu Jinke's death!
She looked at the platform unwillingly, but was still pulled back by Li Qi to avoid the spotlight temporarily. Gu Jinke's men had killed bandits and transported food, and their combat power was not the best now. But after they didn't see Gu Jinke on the platform, they actually fought back fearlessly against the Third Princess' men.
Li Qi frowned and suddenly shouted, "The princess is dead. If you don't want to be accused of failing to protect her, you'd better pretend that you didn't see anything. The Third Princess will reward you according to your merits!"
She thought that these people were afraid of being accused of failing to protect the princess when they returned, so she quickly tried to lure them with benefits, hoping to persuade them to rebel. If the princess disappeared without a trace after jumping, they could just make up a story of accidental death without causing any trouble, and everything in Qingcheng Mansion would be taken over by them smoothly!
In fact, the decision to attack the princess today was a last-minute one. Gu Jinxiu and Li Qi were worried about how to explain themselves when they returned, so they rushed over to share the credit. However, the princess didn't give them any face. In addition, the environment was perfect for them, which made the Third Princess and Li Qi suddenly want to kill her.
The impulsive attack really injured Gu Jinke, and now he is missing. If they can recruit the men brought by Gu Jinke, the risk of their sister being murdered in the future will be smaller.
Therefore, the Third Princess immediately agreed with Li Qi: "Yes, if you surrender to me now, all past events will be forgiven. I will give you gold, silver, jewelry, high positions and generous salaries!"
She thought this would have a good effect, but she didn't expect one of the soldiers who was killing fiercely to spit at her without any hesitation: "Pah!"
The saliva didn't pass through the crowd and land on Gu Jinxiu, but this extremely insulting action hurt Gu Jinxiu and Li Qi more. The eyes of both of them instantly darkened: "You!"
“What do you mean by you? Pah! You are not worthy of being served by us even though I saved you! You are a princess, but you are such a coward, how can you be compared with His Highness! Huh… Huh… You are not as good as His Highness in anything, yet you dare to kill your sister and the princess. You are simply disloyal, unkind, unjust, and heartless! I would not even bother to use you as a snack for my drinking!”
While waving the weapon in her hand, she cursed Gu Jinxiu, but the long-term high consumption made her gasp for breath.
As soon as she finished speaking, the women around her who were fighting alongside her burst into laughter and echoed her.
"carefree!"
"Good scolding!"
"You're right! What a ruthless person!"
"Yes, yes, yes, Your Highness is a man of good fortune. How can a villain like you easily murder him?"
"You bastard! Bah!"
"Everyone, please curse more!"
Gu Jinxiu's expression was so gloomy that water could drip out of it: "If you don't accept my toast, I will kill them all without leaving any evidence!"
After she gave the order, her men naturally increased their strength. Some of Gu Jinxiu's men were overwhelmed and were hit and injured, with blood gushing out.
The sturdy woman who had started to curse first spat out a mouthful of blood and laughed loudly, "Hahaha, isn't there a word called getting angry out of shame? You are just not as good as your little finger. Your Highness came to my Qingcheng Mansion this time and saved tens of thousands of people. My Zhou San's family survived the earthquake because they learned your escape method! Later, because your Highness was in charge of Qingcheng Mansion, we were able to have food to eat and clothes to wear every day after the disaster. Your Highness saved my family's life. Today, Zhou San will repay a little bit, and fight to the death to kill a few more thieves. The rest of the great favor will be repaid in the next life!"
As she spoke, she swung the knife in her hand vigorously, with a brave and reckless spirit, and immediately scared away the person on the opposite side. Inspired by her words, the others became even more courageous, and their fighting power doubled, forcing Gu Jinxiu to retreat, without the energy to add more people to encircle Gu Jinke.
The battle situation became tense, but Gu Jinke's men were injured after all, and their endurance was far inferior, so they gradually fell into a disadvantage. However, everyone was determined to die and was not in a hurry.
At this time, a small group of people also hurried here.
It was the team led by Xun Ji and Qiao Xi.
Logically speaking, since Gu Jinke and his men have been here for such a long time, there should be some movement. However, as time passed, Qiao Xi and others became anxious. They happened to meet Xun Ji, who had just dealt with the people and came to pick them up. They came together immediately, but as soon as they arrived at the cave entrance, Xun Ji keenly discovered that something was wrong.
"Oh no, something unexpected happened!"
There was no one outside the cave. This was not Tai Nu's style. Her heart was pounding and she rushed in with her sword in hand. Then she saw a scene of fighting and killing below, but Gu Jinke was nowhere to be seen.
"Where is His Highness?" Xun Ji pointed the sword in his hand directly at the Third Princess and Li Qi, his eyes sharp.
The Third Princess and Li Qi were also shocked. They all knew Xun Ji. He was the most loyal and best sword master around Gu Jinke, and also Gu Jinke's best protective shield.
When the Third Princess saw her coming, she immediately realized that the plan had failed and that her plan had failed: "Retreat!"
Her men hurriedly covered her and left. Xun Ji wanted to chase her, but the dying soldier on the ground hurriedly called out to her, "Lord Xun Ji, save His Highness first."
…
Gu Jinke was worried about the pursuers behind her, so she kept running until she stumbled and fell to the ground. The person who had been with her all the way held her up and said worriedly, "Your Highness!"
Gu Jinke was supported by him, and he stood firmly by leaning against a tree trunk, then he subtly avoided his physical contact.
She and Jiang Mo have already had physical contact, so it is no longer appropriate for her to have close contact with someone who has a crush on her.
Although her actions were covert, the man was careful by nature, especially since she had someone who loved him. Li Yuxin's eyes dimmed and she withdrew her hand in embarrassment.
His Highness has already rejected him, and is with Young Master Jiang... Now Li Qi is working with the Third Princess to murder His Highness. As long as His Highness gets out, he will soon be a criminal with his entire clan executed. Now, he doesn't even have the qualifications to watch her silently.
Gu Jinke was dizzy and didn't notice his expression. She rubbed her brows and said, "Let's find a cave to rest first. We ran so far and didn't hear any movement behind us. Xun Ji will come to rescue us soon."
When Xun Ji assigned the task, the location was very close to her, so he would naturally come to find her after finishing his work. As long as she was found by Xun Ji before the Third Princess, she would be in no danger.
But now, what was more urgent than waiting for Xun Ji to come was to stop the bleeding on her body first. Otherwise, she might die from blood loss or be eaten by a wild beast that came after smelling the blood.
Fortunately, there were indeed many caves here. Gu Jinke and Li Yuxin quickly found a place to stay. Li Yuxin quickly took some dead branches to tidy up the caves. The two sat down against the mountain wall and breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Jinke untied the belt of his clothes and suddenly thought of Li Yuxin beside him. He saw that although the person next to him was looking elsewhere, his ears were already red.
Gu Jinke quickly turned around and faced away from him: "Sorry, I'm so abrupt. I need to apply some medicine to stop the bleeding. Mr. Li, please keep an eye on the outside for me."
Li Yuxin turned around quickly, her cheeks flushed.
Gu Jinke quickly undressed all her clothes. Due to her physical condition, she was always cautious when going out, and she had put healing medicine on her inner and outer shirts. But today she was really unlucky and the healing medicine on her outer shirt had fallen somewhere. Now her inner shirt was torn and tattered due to the previous fight with Gu Jinxiu, and some of the healing medicine had already been lost.
She could only tear open the remaining interlayer, take out the remaining wound medicine, and sprinkle it on the wound sparingly. But halfway through, she suddenly remembered something and turned around to ask, "Did you bring the wound medicine?"
Li Yuxin was sitting at the entrance of the cave with his back to her, but Gu Jinke vaguely remembered that Li Yuxin was also injured. When they were fighting on the platform, he was injured by the sword in Gu Jinke's hand. Later, when he jumped down with her, he seemed to have rolled a few times when he landed on his back, and was also bruised.
"Hmm?" Hearing his question, Li Yuxin subconsciously turned his head, and what he saw was a white and smooth skin, which was particularly eye-catching in the earth-gray cave. This should have been a vivid picture, but now it has been destroyed, with blood flowing on it and hideous wounds.
Li Yuxin's eyes subconsciously flashed with heartache and hatred for the Third Princess, Li Qi, and he cried out in a lost voice: "Your Highness!"
Gu Jinke frowned slightly, hesitating whether to put on his clothes. Li Yuxin had quickly calmed down: "Your Highness has many wounds on his back. I will apply medicine to stop the bleeding. I'm fine. The wounds have healed."
On the contrary, it was His Highness. He remembered that Gu Jinke was bleeding profusely at the palace gate last time, and today, after such a long time, His Highness's bleeding showed no signs of stopping, and he suddenly became a little anxious.
Gu Jinke really couldn't apply medicine to the wound on his back, but looking at Li Yuxin, Gu Jinke hesitated again. Li Yuxin had already stood up and walked over: "I'm a man in this wilderness, and I haven't been shy yet. Your Highness, are you still embarrassed?"
Gu Jinke's mouth twitched. Is this what she was afraid of? A man and a woman alone in the wilderness.
But it was indeed her who was obsessed with the appearance. She had to make a decision in an emergency. The man didn't mind, so she didn't need to be pretentious.
Gu Jinke handed over the medicine in his hand: "Thank you for your help."
Li Yuxin pursed her lips and smiled, then took the medicine. In order to avoid embarrassing the two of them and to keep himself awake, Gu Jinke asked about her doubts.
"How did you get into Gu Jinxiu's team?"
Li Yuxin's eyebrows moved. The princess had hurried out to do her errands before. Although he was sad because of the matter between His Highness and Jiang Mo, he was still thinking about Gu Jinke. After the Third Princess and Li Qi woke up, they quickly paid more attention to the two of them. Naturally, they soon realized that the two were ready to share the credit.
Li Yuxin had no place to vent her frustration and jealousy, so she suddenly had an idea. She put on makeup, covered her face under the pretext of having a rash, and sneaked into their group to interfere.
Gu Jinxiu and Li Qi were both arrogant people, so they naturally wouldn't notice anything unusual. People around him were afraid that his rash would cause them to get sick, so they stayed away from him, and yet he was actually allowed to sneak in, and now, by some strange coincidence, he is alone with Gu Jinke.
But it was difficult to tell Gu Jinke this reason. He paused and said, "I'm keeping a close eye on Li Qi and want to get more evidence."
Gu Jinke nodded to show that he understood. Perhaps because of excessive bleeding, Gu Jinke not only felt cold, but also had a look of fatigue on her face. In addition, Li Yuxin applied the medicine gently and softly, which was really comfortable. Her eyelids began to droop gradually. She blinked her eyes quickly and pinched her thigh.
Li Yuxin couldn't see her movements from behind, but he dipped the medicine in the medicine and rubbed it all over Gu Jinke. He also knew that it was not good for Gu Jinke to fall asleep at this time, as he might have a fever, so he wanted to find some topics to talk to Gu Jinke.
It was hard to continue the conversation about Li Qi and the others' destructive mood, and it was even harder to talk about Gu Jinke and Jiang Mo's transgressions and sadness. Li Yuxin racked his brains and looked at the golden medicine in his hand. He finally smiled a little: "Your Highness still kept the golden medicine I gave him? It seems that the effect is very good."
He had been injured while rescuing Xue Luan, and was rescued and given medicine by a doctor who had a strange temper and didn't want to cause trouble. The medicine used by the doctor at that time was very effective, so Li Yuxin secretly asked someone to identify the prescription and prepared some more in case of emergency.
Later, he wanted to find the doctor to repay his kindness, but after searching for a long time, he could not find any clues. Only the gold wound medicine and the cloth strips on his body reminded him that there was indeed such a lifesaver.
Later, Gu Jinke was injured and they met by chance in a restaurant. Xue Luan thought he liked Gu Jinke and asked him to make himself familiar with him. Li Yuxin didn't want to follow Li Qi's arrangement completely, so he agreed to the suggestion, went up to talk to Gu Jinke, and even gave him a bottle of golden wound medicine.
Now looking at the golden wound medicine in his hand, isn’t the smell and appearance exactly that of his special golden wound medicine? He was a little happy and couldn't help curling his lips.
Gu Jinke was drowsy, and pinching her thighs didn't work at all, but she still heard clearly what Li Yuxin said intermittently. This was just an ordinary thing, and with his thoughts in a mess, Gu Jinke couldn't help but retort: "What do you mean it's a gift from you? This is mine."
Li Yuxin actually dared to take her things for himself and even said that they were given to her by him. This is simply a rumor!
Her innocence cannot be lost! We must defend it firmly!
She choked like a child, and Li Yuxin couldn't help but feel happier. He just assumed that she didn't remember and agreed like coaxing a child, "Yes, yes, yes, Your Highness is right. Your Highness didn't take the golden wound medicine I handed over, and the golden wound medicine you use now is not the same formula as the one I use. Humph~"
He snorted softly, still feeling somewhat indignant and having a bitter pain in his heart. The things he has always remembered may be dispensable to Gu Jinke.
"Hmm?" Gu Jinke was confused and felt that he was good at confusing right and wrong. He couldn't help but ask, and sneered weakly: "Your golden medicine? Um... you are offering flowers to Buddha... you offer them to the original owner, and you still pretend to be innocent and simple in front of me, like a little fox."
As she spoke, she yawned lightly, but finally couldn't resist the lingering sleepiness, so she leaned against the mountain wall and fell asleep. He had no idea that all his careful concealment had been exposed, nor did he realize that the young master behind him was stunned.
Although her words were vague and low, Li Yuxin was close enough to hear it all. After a little thought, he got the general idea of what was going on.
So, the doctor at that time, his savior was... Your Highness? He also took the formula of the royal highness's wound medicine, re-prepared the medicine and sent it to the royal highness? So, Your Highness had already seen through his various acting moves?
No wonder His Highness didn't seem surprised at all when he saw him in Qingcheng Mansion.
Li Yuxin didn't know what emotion he should feel. At first he just felt embarrassed and wanted to escape from this place as soon as possible, but soon he couldn't help but think more and his heart began to surge.
His Highness saw through his hypocrisy and acting from beginning to end, but he never showed any disgust towards him, and even saved his life many times. He...
It was as if there was a little rabbit in Li Yuxin's heart, moving impatiently.
He looked at Gu Jinke, who was sleeping with his eyes closed, leaning against the mountain wall, and licked his lips uncomfortably. The next moment his eyes moved away quickly as if they were burned.
He lowered his eyes, picked up Gu Jinke's clothes, put them on her layer by layer and tied them tightly, then hurried out of the cave, took a breath of cool air and calmed down.
The sky gradually darkened, and Gu Jinke fell asleep due to his injuries. Li Yuxin looked at the cave, but did not dare to go far. He picked up some dry firewood nearby, hurried back to the cave, built a fire to keep Gu Jinke warm, and sat far away at the entrance of the cave with his back to Gu Jinke.
He was afraid that he would do something insane, and the cold mountain wind at night would at least keep him awake.
But there were explosions in the fire, and Li Yuxin also vaguely heard some other noises.
He endured it, but still stood up and walked into the cave. Gu Jinke was probably still in the same place, but she was curled up and turned towards the fire. Her cheeks were very red and her breathing was a little heavy.
Li Yuxin frowned and touched her forehead with the back of his hand. Sure enough, it was hot and scalding.
The high fever must be brought down!
Li Yuxin frowned, but they had no medicine left. He searched his body thoroughly, and found nothing but dry food and the wine secretly hidden in the water bag of the person he was impersonating. Li Yuxin paused for a moment, then untied his hand.
When he had a high fever as a child, his father would wipe his body with wine and Wuxin San to relieve the fever.
Li Yuxin flipped through the vague memories in her mind, took Gu Jinke's hand, and tentatively poured some wine for her to rub.
At this time, Gu Jinke was particularly obedient and fragile, and let him manipulate her completely. Li Yuxin quickly wiped her palms, then put his arm around her and wiped her arms.
Gu Jinke wore tight clothes during the day and took off his clothes in the morning to apply medicine. The black straps on his wrists were still loosely hanging on her arms. When Li Yuxin picked them up, she couldn't help but pause. Thinking of the strap that had been tied around her head to block her vision, her face turned red.
He was injured at the time and was in a daze. He only felt that someone covered his eyes and said that they were afraid that he would wake up and rely on her. After he woke up, although he was grateful for the life-saving grace, he also felt that the doctor had a strange personality.
Unexpectedly, what he said has come true. He really wants to rely on her.
He gave a bitter smile, quickly stuffed the cuffs into his arms, wiped Gu Jinke's arms, and then wiped his forehead and neck from top to bottom.
It's just the armpit... Li Yuxin paused, then untied the clothes he had tied for Gu Jinke before. He lowered his eyes and hurriedly wiped the wine off Gu Jinke, then he breathed a sigh of relief after he was dressed neatly.
Gu Jinke was probably having a fever and was afraid of the cold, so he subconsciously shrank into his arms and got closer to him. Therefore, Li Yuxin did not dare to move after wiping her feet.
The cave became quiet, with only the sounds of the two people breathing and the crackling of firewood in the fire. Li Yuxin leaned against the wall and let Gu Jinke lean on his arms. He was neither sleepy nor dared to fall asleep. He hesitated for a long time but still could not control his inner greed. He hugged Gu Jinke tightly and rubbed Gu Jinke's hair with his chin greedily. Their clothes were entangled, as if they were an intimate husband and wife.
Li Yuxin looked at the tangled clothes of the two, sighed softly, and muttered softly: "In your eyes, have I always been a little liar?"
"I am not a liar today, and I am not unscrupulous. Look, facing you who is powerless, I originally wanted to force you to marry me and then cling to you for the rest of your life, but I did nothing! Alas~"
He sighed and played with Gu Jinke's fingers: "I didn't do anything bad, I'll hug you quietly, just for one night, okay? Anyway, you don't know, so you won't avoid my hand like you do during the day."
"Why did you choose Jiang Mo instead of me? Is it because he and you are childhood sweethearts?"
He said sourly: "If you and I were childhood sweethearts..."
The voice in the cave gradually became inaudible: "Forget it, maybe I will have this luck in my next life, or maybe I won't have such good luck in my next life?"
"After we get out of here, our identities will be very different. You must be safe and sound and don't get hurt again. Otherwise, if you meet me again, I will definitely rape you without hesitation."
…
In the early morning, birds chirped. Gu Jinke's eyelashes trembled. She opened her eyes and felt lazy and comfortable all over. She subconsciously looked around and saw that the cave was empty.
Where is Li Yuxin?
Gu Jinke propped himself up and swayed a little bit due to exhaustion. Then Li Yuxin came in holding wild fruits and helped her up: "Your Highness!"
Gu Jinke smiled, used his hand to steady himself, then pulled his hand away: "Why did you go out so early in the morning? Did I have a fever yesterday?"
Li Yuxin looked at her retracted hand with a twinkle in his eyes, then he pursed his lips and smiled: "Your Highness has good health. He had a fever for a while. I wiped your forehead and palms with wine, and the fever subsided."
Gu Jinke guessed something when he smelled of alcohol on himself, and immediately smiled and said, "Thank you."
She put on her clothes which were a little messy after sleeping for a night and straightened them out, and found that the strap on her right sleeve was missing.
"Eh? Where are my bandages?"
Li Yuxin's eyes flickered, and he asked curiously, "What's missing?"
Gu Jinke frowned: "The straps for the sleeves are gone."
She looked around and frowned when she saw the fire was extinguished: "Could it have been accidentally put into the fire last night and burned? Forget it, I won't look for it anymore."
Li Yuxin was stunned: "I didn't notice, Your Highness, eat some fruit first."
Gu Jinke smiled at him gratefully and ate a fruit. "Thank you for your hard work. Xun Ji should be in control of the situation and looking for me. Go out and try the signal later."
Li Yuxin nodded, and the two of them hurriedly had breakfast mixed with fruits and dry food. Gu Jinke went to send out a signal, and sure enough, someone soon came looking for them. It was Xun Ji, who had been running around all night to find them.
"Your Highness!" Xun Ji came hurriedly, with bloodshot eyes.
Gu Jinke's eyes flashed with sharpness: "Let's go, get out first, and then settle the score with Gu Jinxiu!"
Li Yuxin stood behind her, looked at her slender and sharp back, and touched his arms inconspicuously.
Last night has passed, and it is time to wake up from the dream. The princess is still the princess, and Li Yuxin is still Li Yuxin. They have returned to their respective positions, and it will probably be like this in the future.
So, allow him to lie to him again and keep a little secret.
The author has something to say:
alright. I can bully the scumbag tomorrow, today I can only scold her! !
How could Jiang Mo marry the third princess? ! She is not worthy of the Third Emperor's daughter. Anyone who treats her daughter badly is doomed to have a bad ending! !
