Good luck today

As Wang An spoke, he kowtowed to Qin Yi again.

Qin Yi really couldn't understand his useless appearance, so he frowned and stopped him.

"Okay, if you're really scared, just follow me."

After Qin Yi finished speaking, he carried Su Shixia on his back and walked forward without looking back.

"Follow me closely. If you can't keep up and are intercepted, I won't come back to save you."

"Thank you, brother! Thank you, brother!"

King An was so excited that he almost cried with joy. Seeing that Qin Yi had gone far away, he hurriedly crawled over to grab the long sword on the ground, stood up staggeringly, and quickly chased after him.

To go to the main hall, you must pass the bridge in the lake in the imperial garden.

Qin Yi was really anxious to go to the main hall, so he didn't intend to take care of King An on purpose at all. Instead of slowing down, his speed was much faster than before.

Su Shixia, who was lying on his back, was knocked and almost couldn't be lifted up. He coughed several times before he recovered.

Qin Yi noticed Su Shixia's strangeness, stopped suddenly, and asked nervously, "How are you?"

"Cough, it's alright."

Su Shixia replied weakly: "However, in order to ensure that I can leave the palace alive, you run a little slower."

"My head is already very dizzy right now, if you keep shaking me like this, my brain will be turned into tofu by the time I get to the main hall."

Qin Yi pursed his lips, wanting to reflect, but hearing Su Shixia's outrageous words, the corners of his lips couldn't stop rising.

The relationship between him and Su Shixia has never been harmonious.

Even after that agreement to "clear the past", the two of them always seemed to be separated by something when they got along.

This has always been a knot in Qin Yi's heart. No matter how he tried to convince himself, he knew very well in his heart that Su Shixia was a very vengeful person.

After he hurt Su Shixia, getting Su Shixia to open up to him again...it was as difficult as heaven.

He even thought mockingly before that even if he and Su Shixia could get together to live together in the future, they would have to "respect each other like ice" all the time.

But today... He felt that things seemed to have taken a turn for the better.

It was because he decided to stay and face life and death with Su Shixia, so...has Su Shixia's attitude towards him loosened?

When this thought flashed through his mind, his eyes lit up, and the arm supporting Su Shixia's body tightened unconsciously.

Because Wang An knelt down and cried and begged for a while, Su Shixia also regained some strength now.

Sensing that Qin Yi's mood seemed to fluctuate, she squinted her eyes and looked at him slightly sideways, and asked suspiciously, "Why didn't you leave without talking?"

"I'm thinking, I haven't answered the question you asked just now."

Qin Yi walked forward while controlling the speed, while talking to Su Shixia in a slow voice.

"When I decided to stay, I never thought that you would die."

Qin Yi's voice came to Su Shixia's ears accompanied by the wind blowing in his ears.

Su Shixia clearly heard him say: "I said before that no matter what happens, I will send you and Zhan'er out of the palace safely. Since I said it, I will not break my promise."

"With me here, I won't let you die."

Qin Yi said: "I can die, but before I die, I will risk my life to protect you from leaving."

Su Shixia was silent for a long time.

It's been so long that Qin Yi's heartbeat was nervous and a little out of order, only to hear her chuckle and say: "Well, you still have some responsibility, you should risk your life to save me. After all, if you didn't trust your bad-witted father, the matter would not have developed to the point where it was almost impossible to end."

Qin Yi couldn't tell whether Su Shixia's words were sincere or ridiculed.

He only felt that Su Shixia's body was leaning against his back right now, with his arms around his neck and his head resting on his shoulders.

Not just relying on him because of weakness, but a... a gesture of trust.

"I almost put my life on the line just because of your royal mess. Thinking about it... I'm really at a loss. After all, you owe me all of this."

Su Shixia snorted and said, "Remember clearly, I will keep accounts of what you owe me. Don't think that you can pay off by risking your life just to save me."

"When a person dies, it's really over. I don't allow you to die. You have to live well to pay back all the debts you owe me..."

She deliberately dragged out the tone and emphasized: "Return it well!"

This time, Qin Yi really couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Say I owe you, that's fine."

"It's okay to let me pay off the debt."

"But...Princess, is it because it's been so long that you don't remember it yourself? All the properties under my name are now in your hands."

Qin Yi's tone was quick, and there was an unconcealable smile in his words.

"You are still clamoring for me to pay back the debt, what do you want me to pay back? If you don't want my life, then...do you want me to give you my whole body?"

Ah!But it will make progress, and it will be brilliant if it is really given some sunshine.

Escaping from the dead saved her own life. Although she was very weak at the moment, Su Shixia had to admit that she was in a good mood.

She could hear the allusion in Qin Yi's words, but she didn't bother to argue with him, she just lazily returned to his back, stared at his profile, and said, "That's not impossible, let's see how you behave, I won't accept you if you are too bad."

The atmosphere between the two had just eased up, and Qin Yi briskly walked to the center of the corridor wall in the lake with Su Shixia on his back.

He was about to speed up his pace a little, so as not to catch Su Shixia's cold from the feng shui with water vapor on her body, but before he could speed up, he heard Wang An's breathless shout behind him.

"Brother Huang! Brother Huang, be careful! There are people on the shore! There is an ambush!"

what? !

Su Shixia and Qin Yi immediately looked ashore vigilantly upon hearing the words.

The lakeside is full of weeping willows, and under the blowing of the night wind, the willow branches lightly sway in the shadows of the trees. In this dark night, if someone is really lying in ambush in the shadows of the trees, it is really hard to tell.

The two didn't dare to be careless, and they put up 12 points of energy to be alert to the movement around them.

Su Shixia felt a little weird.

In this environment, neither she nor Qin Yi noticed the danger and strangeness. How could Wang An, who looks like a good-for-nothing guy, discover the enemy's situation and remind them immediately?

Is King An really smarter than them, or...

Su Shixia turned her head suspiciously and looked at King An, only to see King An panting and embarrassed, striding towards them.

There was nothing unusual about his demeanor, judging from his running posture, he was still the same incompetent scumbag, and the expression on his face was full of panic and panic.

But... His eyes are wrong!
And the long sword in his hand, the posture of holding the sword...

That was clearly a posture of rushing over to assassinate him!
"careful!"

At the same time that Su Shixia shouted, dozens of guards with longbows rushed out from the shadows of the trees on the bank, bent their bows and set up arrows, and fired several arrows at once.

Hundreds of arrows rained down on them.

Qin Yi pulled Su Shixia from behind and held him firmly in his arms. Just as he raised his long sword to stop the rain of arrows, behind him, the long sword in Wang An's hand had already stabbed straight at his back.

Su Shixia saw all the actions of King An, and when King An's long sword was about to stab Qin Yi, she gritted her teeth and tried to push Qin Yi aside with all her strength.

But Qin Yi didn't move at all, instead of loosening the arm around her waist, it tightened even more.

"Didn't I say that? If I die, I won't let you die!"

Su Shixia suddenly opened her eyes wide, watching a blood mist splash in front of her eyes, staining her eyes red.

The next moment, her body fell uncontrollably towards the lake.

"Pfft..."
