A distance of about ten meters was like a long journey. When Qu Xinchi slowly walked to Xia Zixi, Yiren was covered in tears and her delicate makeup was wet. Qu Xinchi forced a smile and said, "If you cry, your makeup will be exhausted, and it will not look good!"

When Xia Zixi heard this, she burst into tears like a spring, and her feelings were hard to suppress. Qu Xinchi felt a sense of sadness inexplicably. Then she said to the assassin behind her: "Please rest assured, please let this girl go. I bow my head and wait for death, willing to be loyal and let it be done!"

People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless? Faced with this situation, even the assassin who is as heart-warming as iron, is inevitably moved. However, after a moment of touching, he still warily signaled Qu Xinchi to turn his back to him. At this moment, Xia Zixi was unintentional, Qu Xinchi undoubtedly resisted. The exchange of hostages was beyond the assassin's imagination. At this moment, Qu Xinchi and Xia Zixi exchanged roles. Xia Zixi looked at the man in front of him who was willing to die for him. Even if there were thousands of words, he was speechless. The assassin was afraid of something, and he said impatiently: "This girl, since she has been able to escape from death, I advise you to leave quickly, otherwise..."

Qu Xinchi knew that the assassin was not a bluffing threat. At this moment, any hesitation would stimulate the assassin, so he said sincerely to Xia Zixi: "Zixi, go back to your sister!"

Xia Zixi looked dull and seemed to turn a deaf ear. Then she suddenly rushed towards Qu Xinchi's arms, resting her head on Qu Xinchi's shoulders, and her hands wrapped around Qu Xinchi's waist and murmured: "Why, why..." Xia Zixi's sudden hug made Qu Xinchi shock, and she seemed to understand something in her heart instantly! However, Xia Zixi's actions undoubtedly made the assassin nervous. In his opinion, Xia Zixi's actions undoubtedly wanted to go from him.

His subordinates rescued Qu Xinchi. Although he was confident that he could subdue the other party within a few moves, it was easy to avoid open guns and difficult to defend against hidden arrows. He knew that there were not many people waiting for an opportunity to move in secret at this moment. So when Xia Zixi hugged Qu Xinchi, he let go of his left hand that was holding Qu Xinchi's shoulders and pulled his shirt away. He saw that the assassin was densely wrapped around gunpowder. Then he smiled wildly and shouted angrily: "All those who are not afraid of death, come!"

The assassin's actions undoubtedly caused fear and restlessness among everyone present. The soldiers surrounding Qu Xinchi and the other two retreated in a hurry and stopped dozens of meters away. The royal relatives, nobles, civil officials and generals surrounded Chu Liyuan for a hundred meters away before stopping. Qu Xinchi looked at Xia Zixi who was hugging him tightly, feeling the trembling of Yiren's delicate body, and couldn't help but sigh. The worst situation he could think of had happened. Unlike what others thought, everyone thought that the assassin was just struggling to death, and the worst was to bury several people before he died. However, for three years, he had learned about the madness of too many dead soldiers. If the assassin had not been wiped out, a huge disaster would have occurred if he was not careful.

The worst outcome he could not bear to think of was the situation.

Qu Xinchi turned his head and turned the gunpowder wrapped around the assassin, with a sincere expression and begged, "Your Excellency, can you still count the promise you just now?"

The assassin seemed to be in a state of madness, and heard the words jokingly: "King Yi, do you think this girl will leave you? Hahaha!"

As if awakened by the assassin's words, Xia Zixi raised her head, looked at Qu Xinchi with a firm look, then smiled like a flower: "You are willing to die for me, how can I abandon you to live!"

Qu Xinchi heard this and raised his hand to stroke Xia Zixi's messy hair on his forehead. He felt relieved in his heart, and felt a little relaxed inexplicably. Then he calmly said to the assassin as usual: "Your Excellency, in a moment, we will be companions on the road to the underworld. I have some doubts, and I hope you will tell the truth."

He had already reached the last step, and after so much anxiety, the assassin seemed to feel a little bit of relief, and then responded like an old friend: "Please say it, King Yi."

"My arrangement is very thorough. I wonder how you can take the opportunity to enter?"

The assassin seemed to have thought of something, but shouted to the crowd surrounding the three of them: "Yes, the arrangement of the King of Yi is impeccable, but there is a cave eighty meters below this cliff. We hid it in this cave a month ago. Tonight, we took advantage of the opportunity when the soldiers were neglecting to guard!"

Qu Xinchi heard it and couldn't help but look at Chu Guozhu in the crowd behind him. The latter naturally heard what the assassin said. He was in a panic for a while. Qu Xinchi had indeed reminded him that he had ordered the sergeants to check carefully under a hundred meters of the cliff. He felt that Qu Xinchi was just an alarmist statement, but he ordered the sergeants to survey the depth of more than ten meters and then he had to do it! Previously, when Ling Zhitian secretly asked him to take someone to secretly check the smell of all the sergeants, he felt uneasy. At this moment, he realized the perseverance and terror of these assassins.

To the extent that they had been hiding in the cave under the cliff for a whole month. If the Emperor Majesty investigated this assassination in the future, he would naturally be unreasonable. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sweat coldly on his back, and his burly and majestic body couldn't help but tremble for a moment. Ling Zhitian beside him also understood the reason when he heard the assassin's words. He felt Chu Guozhu's uneasiness, and quietly shook Chu Guozhu's hand. The latter looked at Ling Zhitian and calmed down! Not far away, a pair of cold eyes looked at the two of them deeply!

There are hundreds of secrets and even a few things, so that this is how! The doubts in my heart are resolved, and Qu Xinchi has no time to pursue them. He is very willing to die generously, and then said to everyone: "Everyone can die, even if I am like me, I will never escape the disaster! All the Dukes must help Your Majesty, and the Great Chu will flourish, so that you can live a peaceful life!" When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but sigh and sigh!

Xia Zixi looked back at where Xia Ziyue was, then looked at Xia Yanwu... Finally, it was Chu Yuyan. She had no time to feel their horror and worry. After saying goodbye silently, she looked back and said shyly to Qu Xinchi: "King Yi?"

"Um?"

"Can I...can I take off your mask and take a good look at you?" Qu Xinchi nodded, and Xia Zixi couldn't help but feel happy.

Everyone has a curiosity, and the assassin is no exception. At this moment, he did not doubt that the scene of both jade and stone burning has changed. Seeing Xia Zixi slowly stretching her bent hands behind her heart and red ears, a pretty face gradually revealed the true appearance of the young righteous king as the mask was unveiled...

However, before everyone outside was shocked, Qu Xinchi took advantage of the assassin's slackness at this moment, and pushed Xia Zixi away with his right hand, then quickly stretched out his left hand to hold the assassin, using his last bit of strength to pull the assassin back quickly. The assassin was unprepared for a moment, and the two fell towards the cliff together!

Xia Zixi was stunned by Qu Xinchi's sudden actions. She watched Qu Xinchi and both fell off the cliff, stood firm, with a sad face, shouting "King of Righteousness..." and then rushed forward without hesitation and jumped!

Under the cliff, Qu Xinchi took advantage of the power of inertia and the assassin was slow to react, he elbowed him, which made the assassin let go of his right hand in panic, and then adjusted his body and stepped on the assassin's body. With the moment of buffering, he delayed the falling momentum, and then blew a loud whistle.

After Qu Xinchi's kick, the assassin couldn't help but say with a ferocious expression: "Go to die together!" Although Qu Xinchi got rid of the assassin's hostage, everything was in an instant. The assassin, who was not far away, detonated the gunpowder on his body. Suddenly, a burning sensation teared the clothes behind him, broke his flesh and blood, and the pain of immersing in his bone marrow made him almost faint. Just as his consciousness was gradually losing, he saw Xia Zixi jumping off the top of the cliff, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. With the upward force that had just stepped on the assassin's body, he used the last trace of internal strength on his body to do his best to delay Xia Zixi's falling body.

"Cry..."

As the consciousness gradually dissipated, when he heard this familiar cry, Qu Xinchi used his last slight force to blew the last whistle, then slowly closed his eyes with a peaceful look on his face, and fell towards Jingjiang under the cliff...

Ye Yu, who received the last order from Qu Xinchi, flew quickly to the edge of the cliff, carrying Xia Zixi who was about to fall. Xia Zixi quickly came down from Ye Yu's back, looking at Ye Yu who had disappeared in an instant, feeling heartbroken!

After a long time, waves of wailing sounds sounded in the dark and quiet night sky, trembling with people's hearts...
