Chapter 8

There are two people holding Princess Changle hostage.The two broke out from the heavy rain and hid under the low shed. One restrained Liu Ling to retreat, and the other held a sword in front.

Liu Ling saw that the person in front of him was wearing night clothes, his whole body was covered in darkness, and he couldn't see anything clearly.His voice was deliberately suppressed and rough, "Don't shout!"

The princess was captured, and the two were pointed at by swords. Lingxi and Lingbi were extremely anxious, and they looked at the direction of the wall from time to time: Guard Yang and the others were over there, as long as they shouted, they would immediately rush to rescue the princess!

Unfortunately, the rain was too loud and the fire was raging in the distance. Yang Ye and others didn't realize that someone dared to harm the princess.

"You, what do you want? Let go of my princess!" Lingbi mustered up the courage to take a step forward.

Compared with the panic of the maids, Liu Ling seemed too quiet.If he hadn't been convinced that he didn't have any murderous intent on the girl in front of him, Yun Yi would have suspected that he was dragging a cloud of air.However, the situation is urgent right now, and the hostages cooperate so much, Yun Yi doesn't want to cause any complications.

He shouted, "Third brother, the princess is in my hands, so hurry up!"

"If the second brother doesn't leave, I won't leave either!"

"I'm a court criminal..."

"I was supposed to save my second brother!"

They were arguing, and the sound of arrows pierced the sky, and suddenly a flame flew up in the sky, and the stream of fire flew together, and the light emitted illuminated the rainy night.

This is Jin Yiwei's signal arrow!
Jin Yiwei found that the prisoner was gone!

Time passed by little by little, and if there was any further delay, Jin Yiwei's people would rush over.Yun Yi gritted his teeth, and if he didn't hesitate, he wanted to run away with his brother.Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the two maids staring nervously at the girl he had captured, and his heart moved. Before he left, he swept the girl over his shoulder like a burden, and like a falcon, he and Cheng Huai jumped up the wall and disappeared into the darkness.

Princess Changle will definitely be a good hostage!
"Save the princess!" Sure enough, the two enemies jumped onto the wall, and the maids shouted for help.

It's due to Jin Yiwei's bad luck tonight, it's just a rainstorm in the mountains, who would have expected that the house would be struck by lightning?Everyone rushed to put out the fire and save their brothers, and the order was a little loose. Cheng Huai, who was hanging all the way and was always ready to save his brother, saw the opportunity, knocked down the gatekeeper, and rescued Yun Yi.

Yun Yi is an official of the imperial court, and it is said that the emperor ordered him to be captured, so why should he run away?

It is true that Jin Yiwei has a bad reputation, saying that they were sent to Beijing under escort, but Jin Yiwei's prison is notorious, and how many people have to get in but never get out, and they lost their lives in vain.It is not without such precedents before, the emperor issued an order to arrest people, and the courtiers were tortured and killed by Jin Yiwei, but the emperor just let it go...

Yun Yi's entry into the capital is more than auspicious, and Cheng Huai is a friend he met when he traveled the rivers and lakes in his early years.Brother is in trouble, Cheng Huai decides to save him.And the rescue method of the Jianghu people, of course, will not follow the rules.

The two fled with Princess Changle all the way, shuttling through the heavy rain.They walked fast, and the Jin Yiwei behind them were like ghosts in the dark night, biting very tightly.

A salvo of rockets fired in the rear, denser than rain.The footsteps were flustered, and the two fleeing were shocked, breathing heavily, seeing panic in each other's eyes.

"Take her to block it!" The friend shrank his shoulders and rolled on the ground, blocking a row of rockets.Looking at Liu Ling's eyes, fierceness gradually appeared.

Given the current situation, they had no time to hesitate.

"Lord Shen, you can't shoot!" Yang Ye and other guards of the Guangping Palace, who were following closely behind, were shocked when they saw the young man who was chasing ahead ordering to release arrows, and rushed over, "My princess is in their hands!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the bows and arrows in the hands of all Jin Yiwei were fired, and the flames instantly illuminated the sky.Shen Yan's heart sank slightly, and he quickly swept forward ten feet, his figure was as fast as an afterimage, and the unsheathed Xiuchun knife in his hand shot towards the rear with a rain of arrows.Fortunately, Jin Yiwei didn't have many people chasing after him, and when he heard Yang Ye's shout when he was shooting an arrow, he lost his aim when he shot the arrow.

Shen Yan abruptly relied on his powerful force to block most of the fired rockets.The qi and blood in the chest are forced out and drawn in, the explosive power is amazing, but the backlash is also huge.

After blocking the arrow, his face turned cold, and he endured the blood that poured into his mouth. He looked at Yang Ye and the others with a knife-like gaze, "What's going on?"

He was displeased: he had already warned Princess Changle not to travel!She even caused him such trouble!
Jin Yiwei found the prisoner fleeing before, and when he chased him, he was already far away.However, Yang Ye and other guards were not as capable of tracking as Jin Yiwei. Although they were worried about the safety of the princess, they were still one step behind.Even the information from the two sides was not unified, Jin Yiwei did not know that Liu Ling was captured before.

Shen Yan pondered for a moment, "Continue shooting, but miss the arrow, so as not to hurt the princess." It is not easy to hit the target while running, and the order to miss the arrow is very simple to execute.

"Master Shen, you must save our princess!" Jin Yiwei's tracking speed has increased, and his skills are outstanding. Yang Ye and other untrained guards cannot catch up. They can only pin their hopes on Lord Shen.

"Ah."

On the other side, arrows rained, Jin Yiwei chased too fast, and the distance between the two sides gradually narrowed.The only fortunate thing is that Cheng Huai spent several days on the spot to save Yunyi, and his understanding of the terrain here is far better than that of Jin Yiwei.The two carried the girl on their backs, and led Jin Yiwei to detour in the mountains, hoping to block each other's steps.

"Third brother, run away! If you are caught up, even you will fall into their hands!" Yun Yi felt desperate.

"Second brother!" Cheng Huai was also anxious, his eyes fell on Liu Ling, panting with hatred, "Damn it! I wanted to use this woman to delay time, but they are like this... and continue to shoot arrows, as if they don't care about this woman life or death?"

"Then leave her and go!"

"Wait! Even if we leave, we have to create some difficulties for them!"

Walking quickly in the cold night, Shen Yan suddenly noticed that the other party's pace was much lighter, and thought to himself that they had left Liu Ling behind.The trick succeeded, he felt a little relieved, but he didn't remind his brothers to let everyone pay attention to find the princess.

He deliberately took a slow step, winked at Luo Fan who was at the back, and secretly told him to stay and save Princess Changle.

In Luo Fan's mind, Princess Changle has been left behind, so she should at least be safe, why bother to look for it?It's better to wait for the fugitive to come back and save him along the way.

Could it be that Master Shen doubted his ability because he didn't watch over him tonight?

Luo Fan felt a little lost.

This was just his initial thought. When he was looking for people in the mountains, he fought a tiger physically, and he broke out in a cold sweat: It was difficult for him to encounter a fierce beast in the mountains. If the princess... the consequences would be disastrous!
Shen Yan's decision to ask him to find someone was right!

But when they followed each other, there was always a certain distance between them, and Luo Fan didn't know where Liu Ling was thrown.He tried to shout, but the mountains and forests were silent, and wild animals appeared occasionally, but he still didn't hear the woman's response.

"Princess, where are you?"

Liu Ling was thrown into a deep pit and trap dug for hunting animals in the mountains, and fell into a mud puddle, which was dirty and painful.She raised her eyes with difficulty, and saw that the sky above was covered with weeds and branches.The other party came and went in a hurry, but this place was well arranged, and no one would notice unless someone passed by.

On the contrary, those beasts are more likely to step on the trap.

The rain was loud.

The night is fascinated.

Liu Ling heard various voices.

At first it was rumors, then it was the abuse of the two people who took her hostage, and then they were discussing countermeasures...

She was silent, and her whole body felt chills.

"Is anyone there?" Liu Ling called out in the silence.She stepped in the muddy water with no feet, trying to stand up.A burst of pain hit her, and she clutched her arm, guessing that she might have broken a bone.

In the darkness, Liu Ling was sweating on her forehead, gritting her teeth against the wall.Maybe she should save herself.She groped the pitted soil wall and found a few rattan ropes. She pulled them hard, and they seemed to be quite strong.She tried to climb, but she couldn't use her strength with one hand. The rope fell from the break, and the thick thorns scratched her skin. The pain was so hot that she fell heavily on the ground again.This time, it felt heavier than before.

Liu Ling raised her head and brushed off the water stains on her face without emotion.She was in pain all over her body, and she couldn't stand up for a short time.She could only look at the ground through the covered branches and think of other ways.

After a moment of silence, she heard voices again.

The sound of rain, the sound of wind, the howling of wild animals... and the sound of my own heartbeat.

It was raining heavily, if she stayed in this square inch of land, the rainwater would accumulate and form a small lake, and she would die here.

she will die here...

And her mother died of this.

Liu Ling's heartbeat fluctuated from time to time, and she opened her eyes wide in the deathly tranquility, watching the rain wash in front of her eyes, and through this rain curtain, she saw her mother's death.

On a gray night, when the rain hit the blue waves, her mother took off her shoes and socks, stepped into the rising and falling lake, and gradually submerged.

The next day, she became a cold corpse.

——"You who kill your brother and mother, what face do you have to live in this world?!" The vicious and resentful curses continued.

She killed her own mother.

——"A Ling, why do you have to kill everyone? Isn't it enough for your mother to be..." Her fiancé left her the last letter, so wrote.

The person who loved her also abandoned her.

Liu Ling let the rain blur her vision in a daze, her chest was tight and heavy, and the temperature of her body cooled down little by little with the slow heartbeat.

"Princess, where are you?" Luo Fan's voice sounded abruptly.

She was indifferent and did not respond.

Sitting in the darkness, Liu Ling's eyelashes were covered with mist, her breathing was slow, her heartbeat was slow, and her body temperature was low and cold, as if she was dead.

She listened to voices that told her—

"Why don't you die?"

How can a person like you deserve to live?
