princess

Chapter 66

Xiao Yuanmin didn't know what happened to Ban Xia and the others, or even what would happen to the two of them. The two of them were hiding in the cave, and the rain outside was pattering down.

They didn't dare to light a fire, or even dare to speak, because those who were chasing and killing were outside. Murong Xi and Xiao Yuanmin held hands tightly, giving each other a little warmth in the dark.

In fact, this cave is not safe, but because it was raining and it was still dark, those people couldn't find it for a while.

It's just that the quiet environment is always easy to make people think too much, as if the two of them are left in the world, Murong Xi was already injured, and it was only roughly bandaged, plus running all the way, the mountain road is difficult to walk, most of the time It was Murong Xi who opened the way ahead, and even when it rained later, it was Murong Xi who took off his coat and put it on Xiao Yuanmin.

Xiao Yuanmin noticed that Murong Xi's hand was very hot, and moved his fingers unconsciously. Murong Xi, who had been staring outside, reacted, and quickly let go of his hand, "Is the princess cold?"

"You have a fever." Xiao Yuanmin said in a low voice.

Murong Xi smiled and did not answer directly, "It will be fine when the sun rises."

In fact, they all knew that it would only be more dangerous at dawn, both Xiao Yuanmin and Murong Xi knew it was wrong for them to hold hands like this, but neither of them let go.

It's just that before dawn, I heard the voices of people searching outside getting closer and closer, so as to deduce that Banxia and the others should be in danger, now I only hope that the two hidden guards can take Xiao Yuzuo to escape further.

At this time, Xiao Yuzuo should wake up and calm down. If he makes a fuss and wants to rescue them, Xiao Yuzuo will probably be knocked out again.

Xiao Yuanmin tilted his head and looked at Murong Xi's side face, but he couldn't see anything, he could only feel that there was a person breathing there, and a person was passing his temperature.

Murong Xi's lips were tightly pursed, and he looked outside with some serious eyes, "Princess, I'll lure them away later, you take this opportunity to run down."

In fact, this is not really safe, but it will create an extra way of life.

"What do you want to do?" Xiao Yuanmin lowered his head and looked at the hands he was holding. This person was injured and still had a fever. The palms of his hands were dry and warm, which made people feel at ease.

"Princess, it will be fine." Murong Xi said softly.

Xiao Yuanmin was not a naive child, so he naturally heard the meaning in Murong Xi's words, she would be fine, but what about him?It's just that now is not the time to argue, so Xiao Yuanmin didn't say anything.

"The crown prince will ascend the throne, and the eldest princess will live a glorious life." Murong Xi took the initiative to let go of his hand, "Xi, I would like to protect it with my life."

Who to protect, Murong Xi didn't say, and he didn't dare to say it until now.

Listening to Murong Xi's footsteps, Xiao Yuanmin suddenly stood up and walked forward quickly, and stuffed the dagger that was always on his body into Murong Xi's hand.

This short knife was won by Xiao Yuanmin from Xiao Chengxuan back then, it was only a little bigger than a dagger, but it was very beautiful, Xiao Yuanmin liked it very much, but he didn't bring it with him in the palace, so he kept it with him when he went out.

Murong Xi tightened his grip, the girl who was alert and somewhat proud had grown up and turned into a woman who rides a horse and stands as gorgeous as the sun.

I don't know who has the great fortune to marry such an eldest princess, but no matter who it is, I'm afraid she will regard it as a treasure.

Murong Xi didn't know when his heart was moved, when he fell in love with her, but he knew that the moment when he drew the bow in the princess's hunting ground, he was truly in love, and even for a moment, Murong Xi was willing to let go of his long-cherished wish and not go to the frontier , not going to the battlefield, but guarding this woman.

"Xi..." Murong Xi paused for a moment in love with the eldest princess, but did not say the following words.

As long as he can lure these people away, the eldest princess will be able to survive. After all, the eldest princess is not as delicate as the others in the palace. She knows martial arts and can protect herself.

Murong Xi walked out of the cave, Xiao Yuanmin hid in the darkness, the sky outside had gradually brightened, and the noisy sounds outside had gone away.

In 14, when Empress Huiyi was still alive, Xiao Yuanmin lived a simple and happy life. At that time, with the favor of Emperor Xuanhe, the protection of Empress Huiyi, and the intimacy of his brother, he was neither lonely nor afraid.

Later, the elder brother was gone, and the queen mother was gone. Although the father was still the same father, he was different. He no longer had the purse embroidered by the queen mother, and he did not look like joking with the queen mother. , have a good literary talent, have a natural flair...

And Xiao Yuanmin only had his younger brother left, the little brother who would cry because he couldn't see her.

I am used to protecting my younger brother and being with him. Ever since Queen Huiyi left, Xiao Yuanmin has not spent a single day for himself.

Let the younger brother ascend the throne safely, and wipe out those who threaten the younger brother. Although the two of them are descendants of the empress of the Yuan Dynasty, in such a harem, there is the empress dowager who is eyeing the tiger, the concubine Lin Gui who has the father and brother in charge of the military, and the concubine Shu. One is very desirable.

It's the most normal in the harem to hold the high and step down. However, if Emperor Xuanhe didn't care about them, they caught Emperor Xuanhe firmly, a princess who was only four years old and a prince who had just turned one year old. They didn't know how they died. .

Xiao Yuanmin walked out step by step. In fact, she doesn't like complicated life. She actually... wants to live for herself.

Xiao Yuanmin knew how to choose in this situation, she should hurry down the mountain while those people were being lured away by Murong Xi, but she walked towards the direction where there was a sound of fighting.

From walking to running, it is actually not that difficult, as long as you choose.

Will you regret it?Xiao Yuanmin didn't know that the moment she stuffed the dagger into Murong Xi's hand, she felt that she would not regret it.

Xiao Yuzuo... She has already done everything she can for him, the younger brother of the prince. If she dies, it will be a kind of help to his younger brother.

It's a pity that only my younger brother is left alone, he will be lonely.

The dagger was already given to Murong Xi, and she only had the dagger in her hand. Many people died because of Xiao Yuanmin, and Xiao Yuanmin also shot and killed many small animals, but killing with her own hands is still different.

When the blood sprayed on her hand, Xiao Yuanmin didn't feel anything, she laughed at herself, maybe she was born with a cold-blooded temperament.

Murong Xi's condition was very bad, he had already led people to run as far away from the cave as possible, but the wound and fever finally affected him.

Xiao Yuanmin didn't rush over directly, but hid himself and approached a little bit, but it was not easy, he only dared to kill the one who was alone, unfortunately, he was unlucky, there was only one single one.

Murong Xi leaned against a big tree behind his back, held his short knife flat in front of his chest, and looked at those people sharply. Those people were not masked, or even dressed in black, but dressed in official clothes. Even if they were seen, they would I thought it was officers and soldiers chasing and killing fugitives.

Others didn't notice Xiao Yuanmin, but he did, are you angry?Murong Xi was angry, but the little bit of warmth was more comforting.

Xiao Yuanmin found a relatively dry place, and took out the fire bag, because Murong Xi was protecting her, and she was not soaked through, so the fire bag was still usable.

Because it had just rained, the fire was not easy to light, and what Xiao Yuanmin wanted was not the fire, but the thick smoke.

Those people wanted to know the prince's whereabouts, but they didn't kill Murong Xi directly, which also gave them a chance, but they were trained after all, Xiao Yuanmin was discovered when the smoke just started.

Several people immediately ran to Xiao Yuanmin, Xiao Yuanmin didn't hide any more, and stood up, she and Xiao Yuzuo are siblings of the same father and mother, I had imagined it, and with the running all the way, there would inevitably be mud on her face He just killed someone with blood on his body, and he was in such a mess. It is natural for those who have only seen Xiao Yuzuo from a distance or only seen a portrait to admit his mistake.

When the leader saw Xiao Yuanmin, he led his people there, leaving only a few people to deal with Murong Xi. After all, their main purpose was to capture the crown prince alive. Injured and killed a person, went to join Xiao Yuanmin.

Xiao Yuanmin is better here than Murong Xi, those people have a little more scruples to capture alive, but Xiao Yuanmin has no such scruples.

So Xiao Yuanmin went to Murongxi's side first, the two of them didn't love to fight, the other side led more than 20 people out, but they were killed and led away a lot of men along the way, when they reached the mountain, there were only ten people left .

Because of the lack of manpower, Murong Xi and Xiao Yuanmin were given a chance to rest. This time, Xiao Yuanmin killed one person, and Murong Xi killed two, leaving only seven people.

If it was to kill these two people, it would be easy, but the order from above was to capture them alive, so they really let them run out.

Murong Xi didn't ask Xiao Yuanmin why he came back, and Xiao Yuanmin didn't ask where they could run to, and the two didn't even hold hands anymore.

Just like this, I feel at ease.

Xiao Yuanmin and Murong Xi didn't have time to choose a route, they ran aimlessly, but the road always had an end, Xiao Yuanmin's dagger had been lost for a long time, but Murong Xi's dagger was still tightly held in his hand.

Although the leader drove them to a dead end, it was not easy, and he said, "Your Highness, you should also see that we don't want to hurt your life."

Xiao Yuanmin thought it was a bit ridiculous, she didn't open her mouth, after all, if she opened her mouth, she would reveal her secrets, and they would have no way out.

Murong Xi said with a smile, "Your Excellency's words are really ridiculous." His voice was a little weak, his face was pale, and his whole body was in a state of embarrassment.

The two of them stood facing the wind, Murong Xi ignored them after saying a word, but looked down, this mountain is not a famous mountain, it can't be said to be steep, but at this height, it will definitely fall to death.

The river below is fast and swirling, and no one knows where it will flow.

Xiao Yuanmin looked at Murong Xi, and suddenly pursed his lips into a smile, "My name is Xiao Yuanmin." Her voice was very soft, and the wind here was not small, only Murong Xi who was beside her heard it.
