178 Embarrassment 1
Two horses were galloping in the dark night. On the backs of the horses, two handsome men were holding their breath and concentrating with serious expressions.
The night wind blew, causing the black hair to dance wildly, but it could not move the tense minds of the two.
Hurry as quickly as possible, the farther the better.
This is the only thought the two of them have at the moment.
Chu Xiao took the lead and rushed in front. At first, Jingsu could still stand shoulder to shoulder with him, but slowly, his speed slowed down and fell behind. After all, she was a woman, weak and without any martial arts skills. After a while, she struggled
It's normal to lose energy.
Jingsu gritted his teeth, raised his right hand high, and then lowered it hard. The horse he stepped off felt pain and ran wildly again, slowly closing the distance with Chu Xiao.
Listening to the clatter of horse hooves and the neighing of the horse behind him, Chu Xiaoyi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then retracted his left hand holding the reins, slowing down without any trace.
So, Jingsu caught up with him, and the two horses kept pace.
"Thank you." Jingsu said bluntly. Of course she knew that he was accommodating her.
Chu Xiao snorted but said nothing.
Jingsu didn't care and continued to run wildly. The most important thing for them at the moment was to run out of the capital as quickly as possible. The farther they ran, the greater the chance that the emperor would catch them.
Moreover, this place is thousands of miles away from the far north, and I don’t know if I can wait until the snow flowers bloom. Even if I get the snow flowers, I have to make sure to get back within half a year to detoxify the emperor in time.
Time was so tight, so of course they had to hurry up as quickly as possible.
However, she was a woman raised in a boudoir after all. Even though she was good at equestrian skills, she was not good at it. After running like this for an hour, the skin on the inside of her legs was torn and raw. She frowned and endured it, gritting her teeth.
He refused to show any signs of weakness.
It took two hours to run. When they left the palace gate at Xu Shi, it was already Chou Shi. With Chu Xiao's identity, the two of them safely left the city gate and arrived at the suburbs.
Looking at a deep forest, a dirt road winds through the forest. In the dark night, there are some inexplicable dark ghosts. Chu Xiao kicks his legs and gallops straight into the forest. Jingsu hesitates slightly and then rides his horse to follow.
The night in the suburbs was starry, but the dense forest blocked the pouring light, and only strands of light fell through the gaps in the leaves. Chu Xiao was a martial arts practitioner and could see at night, but Jingsu was different. In front of her eyes was
There was only a hazy area, and even though I tried hard to follow him, I was restless and slow.
Finally, she called him out, "Chu Xiao," the pleasant voice was filled with a hint of anxiety, "I can't see the road clearly."
It was not clear what Xiao Miao was cursing, but the horse gave a long cry and stopped suddenly.
Jingsu felt a little regretful. It was her insistence on following him, and she was dragging him down after all. She slowly rode on her horse to follow. In the darkness, a faint ray of light shone between Chu Xiao's brows, and his furrowed brows could be seen.
There was a little impatience in his eyes.
But he didn't say anything after all.
Chu Xiao paused on his horse for a while, as if he was thinking about something. Jingsu stopped his horse beside him and looked around slowly. It was full of ghosts and ghosts, occasionally mixed with some kind of weird sounds, which was really scary.
Rao Jingsu has always been very courageous, so he couldn't help but panic in this strange place, and his fingers holding the reins turned white.
"It seems that we won't be able to make it to the market tonight and stay at the inn. Anyway, let's just stay in the woods for one night and rest before we continue on our way." Chu Xiao thought about it before and after, and still felt that it was safer and more economical.
It was hard to drive at night, but he turned his eyes and glanced at the woman beside him. He wondered if she could adapt to such a dark wilderness.
Thinking like this, I felt troublesome. Why did I bother to take her out of the palace? It was just to cause trouble for myself.
Spend the night in the woods?
Jingsu was still a little worried, but considering that it was difficult to walk at night, and that he was indeed tired and sleepy, especially the inner parts of his legs were really uncomfortable, he agreed, "That's fine."
Chu Xiao immediately dismounted, and Jingsu was about to dismount, but then she lifted her right leg and pulled it to the skinned area, which caused a burst of pain. She couldn't hold it back and let out a soft moan.
Chu Xiao's ears and eyesight were sharp, so he naturally did not miss her groan. He calmed down and finally asked: "What's wrong?"
Jingsu had already dismounted from the horse and was holding the reins of the horse as he was walking forward. As he walked, his trousers rubbed against the wound, which made the pain even more unbearable. She frowned and was a little surprised when she heard Chu Xiao's words and answered repeatedly.
Saying: "It's okay, it's okay," how could she have the nerve to say it out with such an injury.
Chu Xiao stopped answering.
The two of them walked some distance deep into the forest, found a relatively flat place to stay, and tied their horses to a tree. "I'll pick up branches." Chu Xiao left after saying this, Jingsu's heart trembled.
, Fortunately, he added, "I'm nearby, call me if you need anything."
Jingsu felt a little relieved.
Unexpectedly, he took a few steps, then stopped suddenly, took something out of his clothes and threw it back, accurately throwing it in front of Jingsu, "You should need the best gold medicine."
Jingsu suddenly understood, her cheeks were hot, and she quickly picked up the porcelain bottle and put it in her arms without caring about her fear. When her emotions calmed down a little, she immediately hid behind a big tree, carefully took off her pants, and gave it to her casually.
I sprinkled medicine on the wound and quickly put on my pants again.
It was really an emergency, and she couldn't take care of that much. If she didn't take medicine, she wouldn't know how to go on her way in the morning. She would be even more upset if this delayed her going.
After a while, Chu Xiao came back with a pile of branches. He didn't ask whether she had taken medicine or not, and just lit a fire. The flames jumped up and the yellow light made Jingsu feel warm and at ease, so she sat next to the fire.
When he got down, he could see Chu Xiao's expression clearly.
He frowned slightly, still not bored, and pressed his lips together in silent resistance.
She understands.
In his mind, she was the culprit who caused the emperor to be poisoned and his life was in danger. It was natural that he hated her.
"Thank you for the medicine." She also has her own principles.
The flames jumped, and she saw the flash of light in his eyes, but Chu Xiao still ignored her.
Jingsu didn't care, and just stared at the flames in trance.
Xu was surprised that when she left the palace this time, she had no idea of escaping. All she could think about was how to get back the Xue Fu as soon as possible. This idea was so strong that even she herself
I also felt frightened.
She must feel guilty. She has always been like this. She can't stand others being nice to her. The emperor saved her regardless of his life. She should be grateful, feel guilty, and try every means to repay. Only in this way will she feel
I feel comfortable and will not have to feel that I owe the emperor every time I think about this in the long years to come.
This is indeed the reason why she insisted on leaving the palace this time.
