Chapter 10 Chapter 10 What should I do if you die?
Ning Wujie stood up alertly and stood in front of Wen Xing.
The car window was opened from the outside to the inside, and Xinghe's head popped out, "Master! We are surrounded, you'd better hide and don't come out!" After that, he disappeared again.
From the car body came the sound of "thump-thump" as if it was pierced by arrows, dull and frequent.
It seemed as if an arrow would burst through the compartment in the next second.
Wen Xing was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat unconsciously.
This is the first time I have encountered an assassination after traveling here for so long.
In the past, he had always been safe and sound when he left the palace. Who wanted to attack him today?
Feeling the real threat of death, he felt a strong sense of fear.
This feeling of fear brought his mind back to the memory of his near-death experience in his previous life, and the sharp pain in his heart came again.
"I will go and help."
Ning Wujie was about to leave with his knife in hand, but was stopped by Wen Xing's hoarse voice: "Don't go."
Ning Wujie turned around and saw Wen Xing's pale face and tightly pursed lips.
At this moment, an arrow broke through the window. Ning Wujie reacted extremely quickly and flew over to protect Wen Xing under him. The arrow just brushed past his ear and with a "bang", it went straight into the wall of the compartment, with the tip of the arrow penetrating three-quarters.
The horses neighed and began to run madly, pulling the carriage along with them.
The carriage suddenly became extremely bumpy.
Ning Wujie was shocked.
The horse is frightened!
He wanted to get up, but the person in his arms grabbed his robe tightly and refused to let go. He lowered his head and saw that a thin layer of sweat had seeped out of Wen Xing's forehead, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his eyelashes were trembling in pain.
Looking at that pale face, Ning Wujie's heart trembled inexplicably, "Where's the medicine?"
Wen Xing was almost speechless, and his fingertips trembled as he reached out to grope at the wooden box beside the couch.
Ning Wujie opened the wooden box, quickly poured out everything inside, and frantically searched for the medicine bottle.
He remembered what the imperial physician had said: if the disease was delayed for too long, his life might be in danger.
He didn't realize that he had stopped breathing because he was so nervous.
Fortunately, he found it quickly and took a pill and put it under Wen Xing's tongue.
The fingertips brushed across the soft tip of the tongue, and an itchy feeling rushed all the way to the heart.
But he no longer cared about these strange feelings and just stared at Wen Xing's face.
It was not until the medicine took effect and he saw Wen Xing's eyes regain clarity that he remembered to breathe.
"Are you ready?"
Wen Xing relaxed her grip on his fingertips slightly, "Yeah, that's it."
Ning Wujie breathed a sigh of relief, gathered his composure, and said, "The horse is startled. Your Majesty, please wait a moment."
He wanted to leave, but the hands holding him did not loosen.
Wen Xing looked at him with a pair of gem-like eyes, opened his mouth, and said, "Don't die."
Don't die.
If you die, I will become a sinner for all eternity.
Bang bang——
The itch in my heart just now was like an electric current, suddenly hitting some unknown place.
Ning Wujie's eyes darkened, and he lowered his eyes and said, "As you wish."
After he finished speaking, he turned and got out of the car.
The two-horse carriage sped by, and the surrounding scenery swept by, and they had already reached the suburbs.
Ning Wujie stood outside the elevator, almost unable to stand still.
On both sides, including Xinghe, there were more than a dozen guards riding horses alongside them, chasing their carriage while blocking the arrows shot from behind with swords.
Guards were shot by arrows and fell off their horses one after another.
He calmed himself down, locked his eyes on the leading horse, then leaped up and landed lightly on its back.
As soon as he landed, he clamped his knees around the horse's belly to stabilize his body. The frightened horse raised its head and neighed, almost throwing him over.
There is a big tree not far away. At the current speed, it will hit it in a few breaths, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
He heard a guard beside him shout, "Turn!"
His eyes flashed, and he decisively grabbed the reins and pulled hard.
The wild horse was forced to turn its head, and its high-pitched neighing echoed through the forest.
The carriage just barely brushed past the tree.
This turn was sharp and dangerous, and the speed did not decrease. The guards following it stopped in a hurry, and when they wanted to turn around and chase, the carriage had already rushed several feet away.
The guards tried to give chase again, but they heard Xinghe's loud shout: "Stop the pursuers first!"
Although the arrows had stopped, the pursuers on horseback were still very close.
The guards turned their horses around to face the enemy soldiers, forming a human wall and charging out with swords drawn.
Ning Wujie controlled the reins and tried to slow down slowly, but soon the road ahead suddenly became clear and a cliff lay in front of him.
“Ouch!”
Ning Wujie's pupils trembled violently. Almost at the moment he saw the cliff, he suddenly pulled the reins back with both arms. The force was so strong that the reins were pulled into the horse's back and almost broke.
The leading horse leaped up with its front hooves, cried out in pain, and suddenly threw Ning Wujie off its back.
Ning Wujie reacted extremely quickly. The moment he fell off the horse, he stretched out his arm and grabbed the shaft tightly, hanging outside the car with one arm.
However, the leading horse also lost its front hoof due to the violent struggle and was about to fall off the cliff.
At the critical moment, Ning Wujie decisively shot out the arrow from his sleeve to cut off the harness connecting the horse and the vehicle.
The two horses fell one after the other, accompanied by long neighs, and finally disappeared into the bottomless cliff.
The front wheels of the carriage stopped just at the edge of the cliff, with half of the wheels sticking out of the cliff, and gravel rolled down into the abyss.
Ning Wujie looked down and saw a deep abyss beneath him. The strong wind in the canyon blew up his clothes, making them rustle.
"Your Majesty!" he shouted. "Get out of the carriage!"
Wen Xing was still in shock and held on to the edge of the couch tightly to avoid falling down due to the bumps.
Hearing Ning Wujie's voice, he slowly leaned out of the car, and the scene before him made his heart tighten.
Ning Wujie was hanging in the air, hanging on the shaft of the cart with only one arm.
Seeing him appear, Ning Wujie's expression froze, and he gently reminded him, "Your Majesty, walk slowly."
Almost half of the carriage extended out of the cliff, maintaining a delicate balance. If Wen Xing took one more step forward, the entire carriage might lose balance and fall off the cliff.
Wen Xing's face turned pale with fear, "Ning Wujie, how are you?"
"I'm fine." Ning Wujie soothed him, "Come down slowly and be careful."
He could have used the momentum to fly up the cliff, but in doing so, the already shaky carriage would likely lose balance due to his leverage.
His Majesty hasn't gotten out of the car yet, so he can't take any risks.
Wen Xing held his breath and slowly walked out of the car, but when he took a step to get out, the car body suddenly began to shake violently.
He was unsteady, but he reacted very quickly and lay down quickly to disperse the gravity.
The shaking gradually stopped, but he didn't dare take another step forward. His intuition told him that the front end of the car seemed to have dropped a little more.
Fortunately, Ning Wujie was right in front of him. He reached out his hand and said, "Ning Wujie, I'll pull you up."
He didn't notice that in his haste he had forgotten to introduce himself.
Ning Wujie stretched out his hand to shake his, and Wen Xing pulled him back with all his might.
So heavy.
Wen Xing complained in his heart, what did this kid eat to become so heavy!
He tried his best but couldn't pull it.
He didn't know that it was absolutely impossible for him to pull the weight of an adult with his arms alone without any support.
Ning Wujie saw that the situation was not right and said decisively: "Your Majesty, don't worry about me, jump out of the car."
"No!" Wen Xing barely waited for the other person to finish his words, "You can't die."
He can die, but this kid can't!
Hearing this decisive rebuttal, Ning Wujie's pupils trembled slightly.
Why are you so obsessed with him?
He closed his eyes, gathered himself, and advised, "Your Majesty, this won't do. The carriage will soon fall."
"Just jump out of the car, I can get in."
"Don't try to trick me." Wen Xing was still pulling hard, but his palms were slippery due to the strength, and he could hardly hold Ning Wujie's hand.
"If I jump, you will fall down with the carriage."
What will I do if you die? Am I to govern the country?
What happened to the Great Zhou Dynasty? Was the 500-year-old dynasty gone just like that?
Absolutely not!
Seeing Wen Xing trying his best to save him, Ning Wujie's originally calm heartbeat suddenly became abnormally chaotic.
Why would you risk your life to save me?
You are the noble Majesty!
He closed his eyes, suppressed his chaotic heartbeat, and when he raised his eyes again, his gaze became extremely firm.
"Your Majesty, are you a faithful minister?"
Wen Xing looked at him warily, "What are you going to do?"
"Your Majesty, trust me and let go."
Ning Wujie's eyes were like a deep pool under the moon, with starlight falling in the dark night.
Wen Xing's gaze met those eyes, and his chaotic heart inexplicably calmed down.
He loosened his knuckles as if possessed by a force.
Almost at the same moment, Ning Wujie's arms suddenly sank, pulling the shaft down. The carriage was dragged by a tremendous force, completely losing balance and falling down in an instant.
Wen Xing lost his balance and was about to fall into the abyss. The sound of wind whistled in his ears, and the strong feeling of weightlessness made his heart beat wildly.
However, just when his heart was about to palpitate, a lightning-fast figure came towards him and suddenly stretched out his arms to hold him in his arms.
Although the speed was fast, he could still see Ning Wujie's face coated with a layer of silver-gray by the moonlight, like a god descending from heaven.
Taking advantage of the reaction force of dragging the carriage, Ning Wujie flew upwards, hugged Wen Xing, stepped on the cliff wall with his toes, and leaped to the top of the cliff.
The series of actions are smooth and completed in the blink of an eye.
Wen Xing only felt dizzy, and before he could react, he had already fallen to the ground.
The arms holding him were firm and warm. After he calmed his heartbeat, he looked up and saw Ning Wujie staring at him with an unchanged expression.
"Your Majesty, how is it?"
"fine."
But at that moment he really thought he was going to die.
It may also be because the effect of the medicine he just took has not yet worn off, so he did not get sick.
Feeling that the arms around him were a little tight, Wen Xing struggled slightly.
Ning Wujie then realized that he was still hugging someone and quickly let go.
Wen Xing turned around in shock and saw that the top of the cliff was empty, with only the traces of tire tracks to remind him of the thrilling scene just now.
He was secretly afraid that if Ning Wujie had made a wrong step when he flew up the cliff, both of them would have been dead.
This stubborn guy could obviously come up by himself, but he insisted on dragging him along.
"Don't put yourself in danger in the future," Wen Xing ordered.
Ning Wujie was about to speak, but he noticed something. Suddenly, his eyes flashed, and his gentle gaze turned into an extremely sharp one.
He turned around and stood in front of Wen Xing, pulling out his knife from his waist.
With a "swish", the silver-white blade was unsheathed.
In his eyes, like cold pools, the majestic figure deep in the forest was reflected.
Wen Xing saw Ning Wujie turn his head to the side, and the moonlight outlined a dazzling silver edge on his handsome facial features.
"Your Majesty, I will count to three, and you will run behind me. Don't look back."
Without giving him room to refute, Ning Wujie turned his back to him and said in a deep voice: "Three."
"two."
"one."
"run!"
