026 The Lesser of Two Evils

"They were bribed by the fourth child to do harm to you." Jiufang Xia took Long Yu's hand and walked forward: "I am a little weak internally now, so I may not be their opponent, so I drugged them to confuse them.

Come on. Let’s leave quickly.”

"Oh." Long Yu responded, his feet being pulled constantly, and he couldn't help but said: "Why did he do something bad to me? When did I offend him?"

Jiu Fangxia stopped, looked back at Long Yu, and smiled horribly tenderly: "Okay, I'm not interested in that thing of yours, so don't pretend in front of me."

After saying that, he took her and continued walking forward.

Long Yu couldn't help but be confused: "What?"

Could it be that Jiu Fangmu wanted to kidnap himself to Linluo and then use him as a hostage to hold Dong Jin hostage? His motive should be the same as Jiu Fangxia's motive. The only difference could only be who gets the credit.

"It's your most valuable thing." Jiu Fangxia said: "Long Yu, why do you think you have such a status in Dongjin is not because of the secret you have."

"..." So Long Yu shuttled through the dark forest at night, thinking about what secrets he had.,

Thinking about his thoughts, his feet relaxed and he just let Jiufang Xia pull him forward. It was already dark and he couldn't see clearly. He didn't pay attention to his feet for a moment. He didn't know if he tripped on a branch or something. He let out an ouch and jumped forward.

go.

Fortunately, Jiu Fangxia was good at martial arts. He grabbed her with quick hands, pulled her back hard, and hugged her into his arms.

Although the moonlight was dark, he could barely see clearly. In his panic, Long Yu heard the question flashing in Jiu Fangxia's eyes and blurted out: "What's wrong with your face?"

When they were in the temple just now, Long Yu was sleeping against the wall, with her hair untied and messy covering her face. After all, the light in the room was darker than outside, so Jiu Fangxia didn't see her face clearly.

After asking, Long Yu stood upright, came back to his senses, and said, "What did you say?"

"It's okay." Jiu Fangxia said: "I said, the injury on the face is not so painful anymore."

"It doesn't matter." Long Yu said, "It's just a scratch. Once you apply the medicine, it won't hurt anymore."

"That's good, let's keep walking." Jiu Fangxia responded and continued to pull Long Yu on his way.

Long Yu didn't say anything and continued to follow Jiu Fangxia, but he secretly had concerns in his heart.

When Jiu Fangxia saw the injury on his face, there was a moment of surprise in Jiu Fangxia's eyes. He used his own words and asked his secret. Just now he pretended not to hear his question and tried to say that it was an accidental scratch, but he actually

So I followed the words. All these proved that the man in front of me was not Jiu Fangxia.

The same figure, the same voice, and even the half of the face exposed outside the mask looks exactly the same. This man, except Jiu Fangmu, doesn't think of anyone else.

Although Jiu Fangxia looked bitter towards him, he still knew the truth, and this Jiu Fangmu didn't seem to be a good person. Long Yu was secretly worried and kept following his footsteps, but he was worried about it in his heart.

Now, how should I think of a way to escape.

While walking, Jiu Fangxia suddenly stopped, listened for a while, frowned and said, "Damn, I caught up so quickly."

"What's wrong?" Long Yu said, "Is your brother catching up?"

"Well." Jiu Fangxia said: "After all, he is my brother. Even if he wants to do harm to you, I can't kill him, so I just gave him some drugs. I didn't expect that he has made a lot of progress in martial arts over the years, and he can become a master so quickly.

woke up."

"What should we do?" Long Yu pretended to be panic and grabbed Jiu Fangxia's clothes: "Don't leave me to that person..."

Jiu Fangxia calmed down and comforted: "Don't be afraid, I'm here, everything will be fine."

"Yes." Long Yu nodded and said cautiously: "What would happen if, if you were caught by him?"

"Although we are brothers, the family ties of royal blood are shallow. Anyone who blocks our way will be eradicated no matter who it is." Jiu Fangxia said: "And... my fourth brother's character, although we haven't seen each other in these years,

But I see nothing has changed. What he wants, he will get it by any means necessary. If I am caught, I will be happy. If you fall into his hands, I am afraid you will suffer even more."

"I can't hurt you." Long Yu Dayi stopped and looked at Jiu Fangxia firmly: "Jiu Fang, I have done a lot of sorry things. I can't be so selfish. You can go and leave me alone.

."

"That's not okay." Jiufangxia held Long Yu's wrist firmly: "Long Yu, you're sorry for me, that's between us. I can't hand you over to outsiders."

"I don't want to either." Long Yu smiled sadly: "If possible, I also hope to have enough time to get along with you. But if you are injured or lose your life because of me, then it doesn't matter whether I am dead or not.

I won’t feel at ease even if I’m still alive.”

With that said, Long Yu broke away from Jiu Fangxia's hand, took out a dagger from nowhere, and put it against his neck: "Jiu Fangxia, my life is not worthy of your kindness. If you must take me

Together, then I would rather die here... You listen to me and leave first, I will find a place to hide, and when Jiu Fangmu leaves, you can come find me again."

Jiu Fangxia's eyes were full of hesitation. He really didn't expect that the pursuers would come so soon. It was too easy to be discovered with Long Yu who couldn't perform martial arts. If he was discovered, he would bring Long Yu with him.

If Long Yu didn't leave, he would definitely feel uncomfortable even if he wasn't as miserable as he said.

At this time, Long Yu trusted him wholeheartedly, so it might be a good idea to find a hidden place for her.

Hearing the voices getting closer and closer, Jiu Fangxia gritted his teeth: "There were many caves on the cliff that day. I will take you there to hide. I will lead the pursuers away first, and then I will come to you after I get rid of them. I

Set up a simple formation at the entrance of the cave, and you must not run around. This forest is usually deserted, and there are wild animals. Stay in my formation, and as long as you touch the formation, nothing will happen."

"Don't worry." Long Yu vowed: "Although I can't help, I won't hold you back. But you must be careful."

Hearing Long Yu's answer, Jiu Fangxia put his arms around her waist and ran towards the cliff on one side. It was a winding and towering mountain range with no name. At the foot of the mountain were large caves, small caves, and jagged rocks.

Long Yu grabbed Jiufang Xia's sleeve and shuttled through the forest. After a while, he reached the edge of the cliff.

There isn’t much to criticize. Except for some hunters, no one comes to this mountain forest on weekdays. The weeds and shrubs grow intricately, and the dense vines almost cover the entrance of the cave. The night is deep, and Long Yu doesn’t have this ability.

Knowledge, there is no way to tell whether there are wild animals from the traces on the ground.

However, Jiu Fangxia looked very experienced. He chose a cave at random, looked inside, put Long Yu down on the ground, and said: "This is the place, you stay inside, don't run around.

I'll set up a formation outside here to block the small beasts. I'll lure the pursuers away first, and I'll come back to pick you up before dawn at most."

"Okay, go quickly." Long Yu said: "I will wait for you here and I won't go anywhere. You must pay attention to safety."

Jiu Fangxia also knew that it would be difficult for him to escape with Long Yu, but he was really worried about leaving her alone. Standing at the entrance of the cave, he still hesitated.

Long Yu suddenly stood up on his tiptoes, reached out and hugged Jiufang Xia, and whispered: "Don't worry about me, be careful. We have so many misunderstandings, and we still have time to explain them clearly. I will be fine."

Jiu Fangxia stiffened for a moment, stretched out his hand and put a hand on Long Yu's shoulder hesitantly, took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll come back as soon as I go, don't worry about me."

Seeing Long Yu holding the fire certificate and walking into the cave indistinctly, Jiu Fangxia fiddled with the door a few times, then straightened up his body, deliberately made some noise, and rushed in the opposite direction.

Long Yu only walked a few steps inside. As soon as Jiufang Xia left, she took out a short stick of incense from her arms, put it on the fire folder, and lit it.

After blowing out the fire on the incense and fanning it with his hand, Long Yu walked to the entrance of the cave. Outside was an unknown formation under the fake Jiufang Xia cloth. This place couldn't be distinguished from the southeast to the northwest, and she didn't dare to mess with it.

Walk.

Putting the incense on the rock at the entrance of the cave, Long Yu squatted down and blew it, thinking that its smell would be dissipated quickly. Then he had no other way, so he walked back into the cave and found a dry and secluded place.

, put out the fire, sat down and waited. Fortunately, it was winter, and snakes, insects, rats, and ants were all hibernating. Although the cave was dark and eerie, there was no disturbing movement.

Everything was quiet, and Long Yu could only hear the thumping sound of her own heartbeat. She was not willing to return to Jiufangxia, but this place was too far away from the princess's mansion and the forest was deep. It was not easy for a person to leave alone.

easy.

The incense she lit just now is a special communication tool for the Princess Mansion. It is colorless and invisible, with no fire or sound. It only has a very light smell that is not easy to be noticed. Although it can cover a wide range of

It's not very big, but fortunately it's hidden, and unless you're a well-trained person, it's impossible to follow this smell and find the source of it.

Long Yu sat and waited quietly. This situation seemed hopeless and desolate. He didn't know if he could wait. And even if he did, he didn't know whether the wait would be a blessing or a disaster.

But it was strange. Sitting in the dark, Long Yu felt quite calm. However, the wound on his face hurt a little. He had been sweating all over since he had run so fast, even in winter. The salt water was pickling the wound, and there was a stinging feeling.

, but I dare not grab it with my hands.

But after only staying in the darkness for a while, there was a sound of footsteps outside the cave. Long Yu raised his head and heard a few pops, as if something as thin as a needle was piercing something, and then a dark outline appeared at the entrance of the cave.

.

"Long Yu." Jiufangxia's cold voice sounded at the entrance of the cave.

Long Yu sighed, stood up, and walked out.

There is a wolf in front and a tiger behind. Although she knows that Jiu Fangxia may not treat her well, she has to make a choice. If she really hides here and waits for Jiu Fangmu to come back, she will end up in a worse situation.

With Jiu Fangxia, no matter how harsh the words are, they are still in love with each other for a hundred days. What happened in the temple just now can prove that he will still leave some love for himself.

Jiu Fangxia's vision in the dark was much better than Long Yu's. He looked up and down and said, "Where is Jiu Fangmu?"

"He left, but he will come back. Let me wait here." Long Yu said simply: "To make a long story short, let's go first and tell you later."

At first glance, Jiu Fangxia was no different from Jiu Fang Mu just now, with the same body shape and the same silver mask, but his tone of voice was cold and cold. There was no hint of gentle tone.

In the darkness, Jiu Fangxia, who could not be seen, frowned, said nothing, grabbed Long Yu's arm and walked out.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute..." Long Yu hurriedly pulled Jiu Fangxia: "Take off the mask and show me."

"What are you doing?" Jiu Fangxia was a little impatient.

"You brothers look so much alike, I want to confirm." Long Yu said, reaching out to pick up the mask on Jiu Fangxia's face. Jiu Fangxia didn't expect that Long Yu moved very quickly and was actually pulled off.

Come down.
