Chapter Fifty-Three: Distress

Yu Shuyue's face changed drastically. At this moment, she forgot that Qi Xiuyao was the man in black with strong martial arts skills. She subconsciously got up and took him away from the wheelchair, avoiding the arrow that killed him.

"Are you okay?"

Seeing the concern for him from her face again, Qi Xiuyao felt that all the worries he had been feeling for the past two days had disappeared.

When Yu Shuyue saw that he was just staring at her with gleaming eyes and not replying, she suddenly became worried, thinking she was hurt somewhere.

But before she could continue to ask, a dense rain of arrows came towards them.

All this happened so suddenly, breaking the originally peaceful and tranquil atmosphere. The guards blocked the arrows with their knives and moved closer to them.

Yu Shuyue only knew Qing Kung Fu. Although she had learned a few moves from her brother in the past few days, facing the arrows that were as dense as rain, she had to protect him with the prince, which made it even more difficult.

After a while, the rain of arrows finally stopped, but Yu Shuyue was not relieved. Sure enough, the next moment, dozens of men in black emerged from the mountains and forests and came towards them with swords in their hands.

"Ayue, be careful! Aster, protect the lady!"

Gu Jingyan didn't know how to use martial arts, and neither did her maids. They didn't bring too many attendants when they went out, so they couldn't resist these men in black.

Gu Jingyan was by Yu Hengyue's side. He couldn't let her go, but he had protected her and couldn't spare the time to protect his sister.

He could only tell Gu Jingyan that he was offended, and the next moment he directly put his arms around her waist and hugged her under her puzzled eyes.

Gu Jingyan subconsciously hugged his waist, closing her eyes and not daring to look at the lights and shadows of swords.

Yu Hengyue held hands with the man in black while moving closer to the prince and his sister.

Although Hua An and Zi Yuan rushed to their side immediately, there were too many men in black besieging Yu Shuyue and the others. The two of them could only block the men in black while protecting Yu Shuyue and the others from leaving.

.

Seeing that they were about to leave, the arrow rain that had stopped was aimed at them densely again.

Qi Xiuyao had difficulty moving, and it was difficult to move around with him in a wheelchair, so Yu Shuyue asked him to put his hands on her shoulders, and she held his waist with one hand and performed Qing Kung Fu from time to time.

It's just that her internal energy was consumed too quickly. After one stick of incense, she felt a little exhausted.

She was not familiar with Yan Qiushan, so she just kept running forward and unknowingly came to a dead end.

There was a cliff in front of her, and the man in black was chasing after her. Her internal strength was almost exhausted, and Yu Shuyue felt like the sky was going to kill her.

"Your Highness, why don't you take more people with you when you go out?"

Zi Yuan and Hua An were dragged away. Now one of them, who only knew Qing Kung Fu, was exhausted, and the other had difficulty even walking.

"I've caused trouble for you."

Hearing his apologetic voice, Yu Shuyue didn't react for a moment. Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind, and she finally remembered that he was the man in black with strong martial arts skills.

She thought his apology at this time was because he couldn't expose himself, and she felt helpless for a moment.

People are going to die, so why bother about being exposed or not?

But before she could say anything, the men in black had already attacked.

She couldn't care about anything else at this time, she could only protect him from getting hurt while entangled with the men in black.

But how could she, a woman who only knew some simple boxing and kicking skills, defeat these well-trained killers?

They wanted to kill the two of them, and dozens of people pointed their bows and arrows at them.

This is to shoot them into a sieve!

"咻咻咻——"

Arrows shot through the air, with a cliff behind them. Yu Shuyue and the others had no way to retreat.

The sword in Yu Shuyue's hand was snatched from the man in black just now, but she could not withstand several arrows with her fists, and her arm had been cut by the arrows.

"Ayue, be careful!"

Seeing the arrow heading towards her, Qi Xiuyao, regardless of his body being unable to stand, wrapped his arms around Yu Shuyue and blocked her in front of her.

"puff--"

The arrow entered his right shoulder.

"Your Highness, are you okay?"

Just when Yu Shuyue said her concerned words, she saw men in black swarming towards them. Seeing that the two of them were about to be killed by the killer's blade, Yu Shuyue lowered her head and looked at the mist-shrouded cliff.

"Your Highness, you can only put yourself to death and live again. Please hold me tight."

She gritted her teeth and said hastily to Qi Xiuyao. Finally, with his puzzled eyes on her, she hugged his waist and jumped off the cliff.

The body fell rapidly, and the clouds and fog in the valley were too thick. Yu Shuyue had no idea how deep the cliff was, so she could only pray to God to leave a way for her to survive.

"Ayue, you are too courageous."

Qi Xiuyao was really shocked by her move, but at the same time he also hated himself for not putting the medicine on him, otherwise it would not have put her in danger, and in the end she had to use this method to exchange for a chance of survival.

"There is no other way. If we don't jump, the two of us will either be pierced by thousands of arrows or stabbed into a big skeleton by a sharp sword. Maybe we can still survive."

The wind in her ears was so loud that Yu had to yell for several months. While she was answering the prince's words, she carefully observed whether there were any branches, otherwise they might be smashed into pieces due to the bottomless depth below.

"Your Highness, I will be your meat mat later and I will not let anything happen to you."

"Ayue——"

Yu Shuyue looked at his moved expression and silently added in her heart that it was not because she was afraid that if he died the emperor would vent his anger on their Yu family.

After all, he came out with his brother today, and those who dislike their Yu family will target his brother and father because of this matter.

Even if the emperor did not want to avenge his son, he would not let go of this opportunity to suppress their family.

"Prince, what are you doing?"

She had just finished complaining in her heart, and the hand on her waist tightened, and the next second their body positions changed, with the prince facing downwards.

"I won't let anything happen to you."

Qi Xiu looked at her seriously with his dark eyes and said seriously. His face was very pale now, with a faint look of pain on his face.

Yu Shuyue even wondered if she was wrong.

Maybe he is not the man in black.

Otherwise, why would he continue to pretend when he was in such a dangerous situation, right?

Could it be that he really recognized the wrong person?

When she thought that she might have misunderstood Qi Xiuyao, Yu Shuyue felt a sense of guilt in her heart and wanted to use herself as a meat pad, but she found that the big hands around her waist were extraordinarily strong and did not give her a chance.

Not only that, but she also felt dizzy at the moment, and a feeling of powerless exhaustion came over her. She shook her head, and before she finally lost consciousness, she saw the black blood seeping out of Qi Xiuyao's shoulder.

Mistakenly, poison was smeared on the arrow.

It seemed that she was really going to die this time, so she said sorry to Qi Xiuyao with her last breath.
