"Let me tell you, I have been digging the trap for a long time, but which hozen stuck out for me..."
"Stop talking nonsense and chase..."
As soon as a Taoist robe appeared in the forest, three soldiers chased him with swords in hand.
Gao Mingyue fled in panic.
She had sprained her foot and fell to the ground while running.
Turning her head to look, she saw that the pursuers were approaching. She picked up the Dali knife and already had the idea of death in her heart.
The night wind blew, bringing shouts from down the mountain.
"Kill..."
Gao Mingyue was stunned for a moment, and felt that she vaguely heard Li Xia's name.
She gritted her teeth, decided to hold on a little longer, stood up and continued running forward.
However, her sprained foot made it difficult to walk fast, and the branch in her hand broke with a "click". She fell onto the hillside, rolled down a distance, and hit a cypress tree.
"it's here!"
The pursuers have already rushed over.
Gao Mingyue's eyes were filled with despair, and she held the knife to her neck.
Hiding and trying her best, she could only struggle until this moment.
The pursuers were getting closer and closer, Gao Mingyue wiped them away with his sword...
"puff!"
A crossbow arrow came and shot down a soldier who was chasing at the front.
Gao Mingyue turned her head and saw a figure running from the bottom of the mountain. She put aside the crossbow, drew her sword, and came forward.
She couldn't see clearly in the darkness, but she knew it was Li Xia.
With that figure reflected in her eyes, she was stunned for a while, not knowing what was going on in her mind.
She stared at Li Xia, watching him rush to her to fight the enemy.
…
Gao Mingyue propped herself up with a knife, staggered up behind him, looked at the gap, stabbed out with the knife, and stabbed one of the pursuers to death.
The remaining pursuer turned around and ran away.
Gao Mingyue felt pain in her feet and almost fell down again. She subconsciously reached out and grabbed Li Xia's lapel.
Li Xia turned his head and looked at her.
"What about the rest?"
"They have escaped and I am the only one here."
"good."
Li Xia helped Gao Mingyue sit down on the tree trunk. Without saying a word, he held her foot and said, "Is it sprained?"
"Well... don't..."
Under the moonlight, the shoes and socks were thrown aside, revealing a smooth foot.
"Don't……"
Gao Mingyue felt Li Xia touching her ankle... and quickly wanted to take her foot back.
"Endure the pain."
Before Li Xia finished speaking, he held her heel with one hand and pressed down on her instep with the other...
Gao Mingyue cried out in pain and tears fell again.
"Don't worry, my hand feels okay."
Gao Youyue turned her head, only to feel that her whole body was numb and she had no strength at all...
Li Xia didn't care what she was feeling in her heart, but still touched her feet. He didn't bandage her until he felt her bones gradually grinding together.
He didn't look at Gao Mingyue anymore. Although he thought the girl's feet were cute, he also knew that people's ideas in this era were different from those in previous lives.
All in all, the sprain was treated in the most efficient way.
He acted so naturally that Gao Mingyue couldn't say anything more about this matter.
Li Xia turned around, picked up the last crossbow arrow, and began to skin the corpse on the ground.
"You put on this suit."
"Um."
Gao Mingyue just responded, and Li Xia had already pulled off the towel from her face.
"Don't wear this either..."
The two of them were suddenly stunned for a moment.
Gao Mingyue looked up and clearly saw a moment of surprise in his eyes.
In fact, she initially wore the hijab just for convenience, but she didn't know why she never took it off after that.
Perhaps it was because there was no time when she had to take it off, and Li Xia protected her very well along the way. Gradually, she felt that it was strange to suddenly take off the hijab.
Or maybe it's because he told the story about Mu Wanqing...
At this moment, being stared at by Li Xia, Gao Mingyue lowered his eyes slightly. She couldn't tell whether she felt offended or proud of the stunning look in his eyes.
"I'll put on my clothes." She whispered.
"Okay." Li Xia nodded, turned around, reloaded the crossbow, and looked at the situation down the mountain.
With his rich knowledge in his previous life, he wouldn't be so captivated by a beautiful face, it would just be a moment of surprise.
Behind her, Gao Mingyue changed out of her Taoist robe and put on her hat.
"alright."
Li Xia squatted down and said, "I'll carry you down the mountain, so move quickly."
He didn't know what Gao Mingyue behind him was thinking, but after a while, she lay on his back and put her hands on his shoulders.
The two of them walked down the mountain.
"I went up the mountain disguised as a soldier of the Zhang family during the day and destroyed a few traps. I was thinking about you... thinking that if you found out, you would haunt this area."
"Um."
"In the evening, I went to the front of the Yizhou Army and killed a man near the 100-household camp to provoke people on both sides. Now that they are fighting, we can take advantage of the chaos and run away."
"good."
Li Xia felt that the little girl on his back was a little nervous, so he said something serious to ease her embarrassment.
After two sentences, there is nothing more to say.
After a while, Gao Mingyue said softly: "I guessed that you would come. I guessed it when I saw the trap... You are very thoughtful..."
"Well, I shot a man at the bottom of the mountain and rushed up. I heard the shouts and was worried that I wouldn't be able to do it in time."
"Thank you……"
Talking these meaningless nonsense, the two of them walked to the foot of the mountain, leaned under the tree and looked through it, only to see chaos over there.
"Look, which horse is the best? You are not heavy and your feet are injured, so one horse is enough."
"That horse is sixty steps away from us..."
"Okay, let's grab that horse."
"good."
"You took a crossbow and killed that man. Do you know how to use it?"
"meeting."
"Well, it's the last arrow."
After Li Xia finished speaking, he lifted Gao Mingyue on his back and ran forward.
In the chaos, soldiers ran towards him.
"The Yizhou army killed my brother!" Li Xia shouted.
…
Gao Mingyue buried her face on Li Xia's shoulder, leaving only one eye exposed.
Looking around, he saw a soldier on horseback rushing more than ten steps in front of him.
"kill!"
Li Xia shouted, Gao Mingyue raised his hand and pulled the crossbow, and the soldier fell in response.
"Eh..."
The horse neighed.
Gao Mingyue felt that her tense nerves were finally loosened, and she breathed a long sigh of relief. Li Xia picked her up from behind and put her on the horse.
Li Xia got on his horse, pulled the reins and drove off.
The wind howled in my ears, bringing with it the sounds of killing and shouting nearby.
Gao Mingyue didn't seem to hear anything, she only felt relieved and tired, and her feet and legs were still numb...
After a long time, I saw that the stars in the sky seemed to be setting, and the plain in front of me opened up.
She came to her senses and grabbed the reins.
"I'll do it, you're trying too hard."
"good……"
Li Xia let go of the reins and let her control the horse.
He put his hands on her waist, moved away, and held on to the saddle.
But he seemed to be a little unsteady in his seat while he was galloping, and finally he was holding on to her waist.
Gao Mingyue kicked the horse's belly, and the horse ran faster and faster...
After a long time, the chaos at the foot of Hujun Mountain finally subsided.
Jingjie turned around and looked down at the four fields, murmuring: "Is this the Li Xia that Wu Lang couldn't catch up with even though he was tired..."
"what to do?"
"We can't use our hands freely on the east and west roads of Shandong, so it's difficult to catch him." Jingjie said, "Xiu Xiu wrote a letter and asked the south to send Li Xia's head over..."
