Chapter 174: False Transaction
The carriage slowly stopped by the roadside.
Dong Chao saw that Gu Feixue had dropped her weapon and gradually became careless. She had no idea that Gu Feixue had so many hidden weapons in her sleeves.
"Let's go. If I send you back, I'll be promoted three levels. Gu Feixue, please don't blame me. We each serve our own masters, and we can't work together if we don't share the same ideals." Gu Feixue said nothing, with a pitiful look in her eyes.
These pure, innocent eyes had deceived countless opponents, but it didn't work today.
Dong Chao ordered Gu Feixue to turn the horse around and return the same way, and Gu Feixue obeyed his orders.
"How about we make a deal?" Gu Feixue threw out an olive branch and asked tentatively.
Dong Chao sneered, "What kind of deal can I make with you? You are full of conspiracy and trickery."
"General, you're exaggerating. No matter how clever I am, I can't escape your Five Finger Mountain. How about I take you to find him? Your Highness wants to capture him, so I'll trade my life for his. How about that?"
"Really?" Dong Chao was skeptical.
Gu Feixue nodded hurriedly, "I still have to go find my mother and father. From now on, I will live in hiding and never show up again. What do you think?"
The guy fell for it again, "Where is he?"
"I received a letter yesterday. It was sent to me by him. You will know after reading it." Gu Feixue was being mysterious.
There was indeed a letter in her sleeve, but this letter was not sent by Yuchi Shuo, but by her mother to report her safety. Their family had developed a strange language system.
Even if this kind of letter fell into the hands of the wrong people, they would not be able to decipher it, so she was not nervous at all.
"Take it out!"
Dong Chao urged anxiously.
Gu Feixue muttered, looking rather pitiful, "It's in my sleeve."
The guy reached out and took out the letter, opened it and looked confused, "What is this?"
"This is..." Gu Feixue hit Dong Chao's throat with her elbow. Dong Chao then realized that he had been deceived. Even though he reacted quickly, it was too late. Dong Chao was stabbed.
"Be good, it won't hurt soon."
But the carriage shook.
Before the soldiers behind could think, Gu Feixue had already kicked Dong Chao's body out.
Everyone saw that Dong Chao's face was pale and he was dying, and then they saw the dagger on Dong Chao's chest. Everything was self-evident.
They started to chase, but Gu Feixue whipped her horse and galloped away.
At this moment, Yuchi Shuo, who was watching from afar, descended from the sky. His movements were clean and neat, and he landed on the horse's back in a flash.
Gu Feixue suddenly saw a black shadow. She thought this person was her opponent, so she attacked with her weapon, but she had no idea that the person was actually Yuchi Shuo.
"Ah, is that you?"
Her clear eyes sparkled with joy, and Gu Feixue hastily dropped her weapon. At this moment, the carriage jolted a bit, and there was a "click" sound from the wheel hub, indicating that Gu Feixue's balance was unstable.
It turned out that the cunning soldiers deliberately sent her a damaged carriage.
Gu Feixue staggered, but fortunately Yuchi Shuo hugged her.
In a flash, he swung his dagger and cut the rope, freeing the horse from the load and immediately starting to run.
But a large group of pursuers followed closely behind, and the leading centurion frowned and pointed at the carriage.
A group of people came rushing in
Someone drew his bow and arrow, and Gu Feixue hurriedly reminded Yuchi Shuo.
Yuchi Shuo blocked with his weapon.
Over the years, he has never forgotten to practice martial arts, and now he is putting his knowledge into practice.
At this critical moment, the two men escaped from the city.
The group of people continued to pursue them.
The two of them were wandering aimlessly when they saw a lush peach forest in the distance. Gu Feixue reined in his horse and headed that way. After running less than half a mile, they lay down on the spot, panting.
She looked up at the sky, where heavy flower buds swayed in the wind, and her body involuntarily moved closer to Yuchi Shuo.
"Why are you here?"
"If I hadn't come, Brother Gu would have been killed long ago."
Hearing this, Gu Feixue suddenly realized, "So it's you?"
"Of course it's me." Yuchi Shuo pursed his lips and smiled.
He lay in front of Gu Feixue and stared at her.
After three years, the little girl has lost her youthfulness, her chubby face has grown up, especially her charming eyes that are like a sparkling lake, and her every frown and smile is still captivating.
Both of them laughed.
"Thanks."
"No need to say thank you for such a great favor, hahaha." Yuchi Shuo stood up, feeling a little annoyed. He didn't know why, but his cheeks were blazing red. He stood up uncomfortably, "You don't have to say thank you in the future."
Too.
The word "thank you" is a bit alienating, and saying it weakens the intimacy between two people.
"Your Highness, were you not injured just now?"
"Intact." He heard his own heartbeat and felt the blood in his earlobe rushing around, like a flood vent had been opened. This new experience made Yuchi Shuo uneasy.
"You, what about you?"
Yuchi Shuo didn't expect that he would stutter, and glanced at the other person worriedly.
"I'm fine too."
"Then," his heartbeat finally died down, he swallowed, his throat sliding, "let's go back."
The two were ready to go back, but after walking for a while it was already dusk and it would be dangerous to continue moving forward. Gu Feixue looked back and could vaguely see green eyes in the darkness. She couldn't tell whether it was a hyena, a fox or a jackal.
He made torches and lit them with tinder.
At this moment, Gu Feixue stood still.
"There's danger, about twenty meters."
Someone is approaching.
Yuchi Shuo had long known about Gu Feixue's unique skills. He grabbed Gu Feixue's hand and jumped onto a tree.
It was a camphor tree with lush branches and leaves. Gu Feixue stared around and suddenly noticed two people walking towards her in the distance.
When the distance got closer again, Gu Feixue could see clearly that they were two hunters.
Opposite them was a pair of men and women. The man had dark and strong skin, while the woman had a fair complexion. Both wore simple clothes. They returned with a full load. The man was carrying a small yak on his shoulders, while the woman was holding a rope with many small animals tied to it.
The two men came towards this side, and suddenly there was a rustling sound in the grass.
They are probably preparing to go home.
Perhaps the animals in the jungle sensed the danger, so before the two men got close, the animals had already tiptoed away.
"Chunya, this lynx can be used as knee pads. Make yourself a pair. I'll wait for tomorrow."
"Hey, I'll make it for you first. Do I need a lot? Even the leftovers will be enough. Yunqiao, take a rest. You must be exhausted."
The two men came walking on the moonlight, neither hurried nor slow, as if they could walk like this forever.
