Chapter 260 Difficult Hot Springs
At this time, Zhao Xiaofei was in a desperate situation. They were surrounded by enemies on the edge of a cliff. Li Sihong shot and killed countless enemies on the road, but Zhao Xiaofei drove the wrong way and ended up driving the car to the edge of the cliff.
Zhao Xiaofei and Li Sihong abandoned their chariots, took their muskets and bows and arrows, and ran and shot as they reached the edge of the cliff.
Seeing a group of people surrounding them, Zhao Xiaofei said to Li Sihong, "My dear! It seems that this time we really have to explain ourselves here! Do you remember what I said to you? I owe you this life. In the next life, I will be your woman and you will be my husband to serve you."
At this moment, a strong man on the opposite side said: "Your Highness! Surrender! So many people died, is it necessary? We..."
Before he could finish his words, a gunshot rang out. A bloody hole blew open in the man's chest, and he fell to the ground.
Zhao Xiaofei fired the last bullet in the gun, then gave Li Sihong a light kiss on the head and jumped off the cliff.
Zhao Xiaofei had thought it through clearly. Death would only bring temporary pain, but living would likely torture him mentally as well as physically. He didn't want to see his wife suffer humiliation, but he also wanted Li Sihong to survive. As for life or death, he let Li Sihong make her own choice. He wouldn't blame her.
Moreover, Zhao Xiaofei knew that he couldn't withstand the tortures of the ancients. He wasn't a traitor! If he were subjected to any of the Ten Cruel Tortures of the Qing Dynasty, he'd probably confess everything. Therefore, death wasn't so terrifying; living was much harder than death.
When Li Sihong saw Zhao Xiaofei jump down, he raised his hand and fired at the enemy opposite, hitting another leader in the face, and then jumped up.
Zhao Xiaofei fell freely in the valley, the sound of wind whistling in his ears. Then, with a splash, he fell into a pool of warm water.
Zhao Xiaofei was a little confused for a moment, and then he was forced to drink several gulps of water before he regained consciousness. Then he struggled to float up and took a deep breath.
Zhao Xiaofei was incredibly happy. He thanked Heaven, God, Buddha, and all the other deities. He had encountered such a ridiculous thing, that even jumping off a cliff wouldn't kill him. He believed that surviving such a disaster would bring him good fortune. It was like meeting a princess by chance at the palace.
Just as I thought of this, it only took a second. Plop! Li Sihong also fell down! Hitting Zhao Xiaofei right on the back. Zhao Xiaofei's eyes went dark and he fainted.
I didn’t know how long I slept. When I woke up in a daze, what caught my eye was Li Sihong’s pretty face.
Seeing Zhao Xiaofei wake up, Li Sihong said, "Husband! You finally woke up! That's great!" Li Sihong cried with joy!
When Li Sihong fell, she landed right on top of Zhao Xiaofei. She thought he was going to die. She couldn't accept the fact that a great king of the Ming Dynasty, not killed by his enemies, was crushed to death by his own wife. If Zhao Xiaofei didn't wake up, she would commit suicide and follow him.
Seeing Zhao Xiaofei wake up, Li Sihong put Zhao Xiaofei's head on her lap. Li Sihong's tears fell on Zhao Xiaofei's face, and he immediately felt a drop of warmth.
Zhao Xiaofei smiled and said, "My wife! Why are you crying? I'm not dead! Hold back your tears. Wait until I really die in front of you before you cry!" After saying that, he gently stroked her beautiful face with his hand.
Li Sihong wiped her tears with her sleeve. Zhao Xiaofei asked again: "It's winter now, why don't I feel cold? Didn't we all fall into the water?"
"This is a hot spring. I carried the lighter you gave me with me, and I made a fire to dry my clothes! We are now in a cave next to the hot spring!" said Li Sihong.
"In the cave? Don't you see what kind of cave this is? Don't turn around and think it's a blind bear cave. We will become food in the bear's mouth!" Zhao Xiaofei said as he thought of the wilderness survival programs he had watched before.
"Husband! You think too much! This is a dead end. There's nothing but rocks if you go further in!" said Li Sihong.
Zhao Xiaofei said, "That's good! Do you see if there's a way out?"
Hearing what Zhao Xiaofei said, Li Sihong's eyes dimmed as she said, "There's no way out here. You and I are both in a deep pit. People outside can't get in, and we can't get out either! We don't have any food to eat now, unless General Wan and General Zhou find us! We might starve to death here!"
"It's better than being caught, humiliated, and then beheaded! It's just that this way of dying is a little too hard to bear. I'm most afraid of being hungry! Now I really miss the food in the palace. I used to throw away the food I couldn't finish. I really shouldn't have done that!" Zhao Xiaofei said.
"Who knows that every grain of food on the plate is hard-earned!" said Li Sihong.
"Stop showing off! That poet Li Shen talks nicely, but he's actually more extravagant and wasteful than anyone else. There are many records of his character in history books!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"Where did you see this?" Li Sihong asked.
"It doesn't matter! How long have we been falling?" Zhao Xiaofei asked.
"It's been a day and a night! It should be noon now!" said Li Sihong.
"Let me rest for a while. My strength will be almost recovered by tomorrow. No matter if there is anyone to save us or not, we must try to find a way out first. We can't just sit there and wait for death! I'm tired. Can I sleep for a while?" Zhao Xiaofei said.
Li Sihong nodded, and Zhao Xiaofei fell asleep in a daze.
In his dream, Zhao Xiaofei seemed to have returned to his modern home. As soon as he entered the house, he saw a table full of chicken, duck, fish and meat, which made Zhao Xiaofei drool.
Just as Zhao Xiaofei was about to pick up the chicken leg and start eating, a pair of delicate hands snatched it away. It turned out to be Qin Baobao!
Qin Baobao's eyes were cold and his face was icy. Zhao Xiaofei panicked for a moment and asked, "What's wrong, honey? I've been hungry for several days. Can I eat first?"
Qin Baobao pointed behind her and said, "First, explain to me who they are. Tell me clearly before you eat!"
Zhao Xiaofei looked back and immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Behind Qin Baobao stood Princess Kunxing, Princess Zhaoren, Li Sihong, and Kou Baimen. Kou Baimen was even pregnant!
Princess Kunxing asked sullenly, "My Lord! Explain to me who the legal wife is! If you don't explain clearly, you won't have to eat!"
Zhao Xiaofei thought to himself: Holy shit! This palace has even come out.
Zhao Xiaofei turned her head to look at Princess Zhaoren. Princess Zhaoren lowered her head and did not dare to look at her. Kou Baimen was so pregnant that she did not dare to speak.
Now the truth is revealed, this is Zhao Xiaofei's nightmare!
Only Li Sihong, who was not far away, felt sorry for Zhao Xiaofei and secretly handed him a bowl of soup from under the table. Zhao Xiaofei tilted his head back and gulped down the soup.
As soon as Zhao Xiaofei drank the soup, he felt much better. He wiped his lips and said to Li Sihong, "I'm not hungry anymore! It's just that the soup is too salty! It smells fishy. I'll drag the cook out and give him a couple of beatings!"
Later, Qin Baobao disappeared, and Princess Kunxing also disappeared. Zhao Xiaofei knew that he was dreaming. Although he knew it was a dream, he could not wake up.
