Chapter 57: Duan Jiang and Ye Sili Trapped in a Cave
Duan Jiang was worried about Ye Sili, so he walked quickly on the path through the woods, but the sky was dark, and there was no trace of a person in the back mountain.
"Master, I did see them going down the mountain from this road."
"..." Duan Jiang wanted to scold him, but he vaguely heard the sound of fighting coming from far away.
"Could it be that they met Gu Liyou's people?" Duan Jiang thought and immediately rushed towards the source of the sound.
Sun Yan issued a death order to kill them, and Ye Sili and his party were trapped and unable to escape.
Munchun swung her long whip in time to stop the soldiers attacking Ye Sili. She looked around at the incoming enemies and suggested: "Huan Xia, Qing Luo, you take the princess and go first."
Hearing this, Huan Xia looked towards her and realized that Wuchun and Bai Yi cooperated tacitly and these people could not do anything to them.
Huan Xia nodded, said, "Be careful," and then rushed out with Ye Sili and Qing Luo through the gap created by Mu Chun and Bai Yi.
"Be careful, little lady!" Duan Jiang shouted hurriedly.
Huan Xia heard the sound, protected Ye Sili behind him, and kicked the attacker away violently.
Ye Sili and Huan Xia looked at each other with somewhat surprised expressions.
Why is Duan Jiang here?
When Duan Jiang saw that Ye Sili was in danger, he rushed over with his brothers without hesitation and fought all the way to her. He wanted to reach out to pull her, but he thought that she was a lady and could not see such excessive behavior, so he took it back.
He took his hand and looked her up and down anxiously, "Don't be afraid, little lady, I'm coming."
"..."
What's happening here?
Ye Sili didn't react.
Sun Yan was even more surprised when he saw Duan Jiang coming out halfway.
Ye Sili turned her head to observe Sun Yan's reaction, only to see that Sun Yan gave an order and wanted them all to be buried here. She then looked at Duan Jiang who was fighting with a big knife, and it seemed that he had no idea.
If Sun Yan cooperated with Duan Shanzhai, how could he ignore Duan Jiang's life?
Ye Sili was thinking like this, but suddenly heard a curse: "Sun Yan, you son of a bitch! You have eaten the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard, haven't you?"
Duan Jiang pointed at Sun Yan angrily and cursed. The latter was not angry even after hearing this, perhaps because he was fully confident that they would not be able to get out of here tonight.
Seeing that Sun Yan didn't respond, Duan Jiang became even more angry. He picked up a big knife and cursed loudly. Suddenly, his eyes caught a glimpse of Ye Sili's stunned look. He immediately stopped and said with a naive smile: "Don't get me wrong, I don't usually act like this."
"..." Ye Sili looked down at the hand holding her wrist through her clothes. Duan Jiang only said: "Don't be afraid, I won't let them take you away."
After saying that, Duan Jiang took her with one hand and held a big knife in the other and rushed out towards the village.
Are you taking her back?
Ye Sili stopped and pulled away his hand. Late Spring and Huanxia also rushed over, hitting his head and face with a long whip, so Duan Jiang had to let go of his hand and step aside.
Duan Jiang looked at Ye Sili in astonishment, and quickly reacted. His eyes instantly darkened, like a betrayed deer, pitiful but pretending to be strong, and said in disbelief: "So, do you really want to take the opportunity to escape?"
"Yes." Ye Sili admitted directly without hesitation.
She had finally waited for this opportunity. If she didn't leave today, she really wouldn't be able to leave.
"sorry."
Seeing Duan Jiang's injured expression, Ye Sili could only say this, then turned around and left, and late spring and Huanxia immediately went into battle.
Sun Yan had a large number of men and they were all well-trained soldiers. After such a round of battle, in late spring, Huan Xia and Bai Yi gradually lost their battle.
Ye Sili held a dagger in her hand to defend herself, but when someone actually attacked her, she was so frightened that she closed her eyes tightly.
After a long time, the expected pain did not come. She slowly opened her eyes, and what she saw was the extremely disappointed Duan Jiang just now.
The blood slid to the ground along the big knife in his hand, and soon soaked into the soil, blending with the night, leaving only the smell of blood in the air, reminding him of the brutality of the fighting tonight.
Duan Jiang turned around and glanced down at the dagger in her hand. During this period of time, she lived in the village. Although he provided good food and drink, she was still visibly thin. After all this, she
At this moment, his face turned pale with fright, and his eyes looked at him in confusion.
Duan Jiang tilted his head slightly, raised the corners of his mouth, and his warm smile was not as frivolous as before, "You are obviously very timid, but you can't even say a word of humiliation?"
His words were clearly meant to reproach him, but they were extremely soft. How could he look like the angry person just now?
Ye Sili didn't quite understand what he meant by this, but insisted: "I won't go back with you."
"..." Duan Jiang concealed his disappointment, looked around, and said seriously: "You can't risk your life here just to avoid going back with me, right?"
Munchun and Bai Yi were obviously struggling, but they still protected her with all their might.
Tonight was a lot of trouble. If she had not escaped and been imprisoned back to the village, it would have been even more difficult for Ayou to save her.
What's more, looking at Sun Yan's situation, I'm afraid he won't let them go.
Thinking of this, Ye Simili took two steps back, put the dagger in her hand between her and Duan Jiang, and said firmly: "I must leave."
But Duan Jiang still followed her, using his sword to kill all the enemies approaching her.
Upon seeing this, Sun Yan gave an order and the archers were fully prepared.
"put!"
Suddenly, arrows rained down from the sky. After a moment of stalemate, Huan Xia was exhausted and his left arm was scratched by an arrow.
"Huan Xia!"
Ye Sili was worried about Huan Xia, but Duan Jiang held him back.
Hearing the sound, Wuchun rushed over, but Bai Yi's long sword flew in front of him.
Most of the troops in the village are concentrated on fighting in the front. Duan Jiang arrived without many men, and now there are not many left.
Sun Yan was determined to catch them all in one fell swoop, and his offensive was very fierce.
Seeing this situation, Ye Sili looked at Duan Jiang, who was closely following her, and felt even more confused. How could she escape with him following closely?
In late spring and summer, we are gradually losing ground. If this continues, our lives will really depend on this.
Duan Jiang guarded her every step of the way, but he was exhausted even after fighting for so long.
In the dark night, the arrow was quietly aimed at Ye Sili's heart. The arrow was mixed in the arrow rain and could not be detected, and it went straight to Ye Sili.
"Princess!" Wuchun and Huanxia both ran towards her, their voices filled with fear.
Ye Sili felt the people around him startled, and then quickly reacted and cut off the arrows with a swing of his sword. The opponent's superb archery skills fired three arrows at once. Duan Jiang stepped forward and crotched him, but when he looked back, his expression suddenly changed.
Without enough time to think, he turned around and blocked Ye Sili behind him.
Ye Sili heard the person in front of him groan, and he slashed with his big sword. The person in front fell sideways, and the sword in his hand was stained with blood.
"Duan Jiang?" Ye Sili's voice was trembling, but she could barely stand still when the figure in front of her swayed slightly.
"Duan Jiang!"
Ye Sili walked up to him. Duan Jiang covered his chest with his hands and turned sideways to avoid her eyes. Seeing her worried eyes, Duan Jiang smiled with satisfaction and comforted: "I'm fine."
Another wave of arrows struck, and Duan Jiang held up a broadsword to protect Ye Sili behind him.
All of them were injured in late spring. Ye Sili suppressed her panic and ordered: "Bai Yi, late spring."
"You take Huanxia and Qingluo and escape."
"No, Princess." Wuchun immediately objected.
Ye Sili forcibly ordered: "Ayou must not have known about Sun Yan's rebellion. If we really die here, we will have to rely on Sun Yan's confession."
Now it is impossible for them to escape together.
"Princess Princess, what should you do?" Bai Yi asked, blocking the arrow.
Ye Sili glanced at Duan Jiang, "Duan Jiang and I retreated to the mountain stronghold. Duan's stronghold is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Sun Yan cannot go up the mountain without a topographic map."
As long as he retreats to the mountain, Duan Jiang will definitely have a way.
Besides, it was clear that Sun Yan was staring at her tonight. If she and Bai Yi and the others were separated, maybe Bai Yi and the others would have a chance to escape.
Seeing the offensive becoming more and more fierce, Ye Sili shouted sharply: "Let's go!"
The rain of arrows dispersed them. Ye Sili watched Bai Yi and the others run into the deserted forest. Seeing Sun Yan preparing to chase him, she and Duan Jiang immediately ran in the opposite direction. Duan Jiang lowered his eyes and looked at the hand holding his hand.
, the corners of his mouth raised, and a trace of pride flashed in his eyes.
After weighing the situation, Sun Yan sent a small number of men to pursue Bai Yi and the others, while the rest of the men chased Ye Sili and the others.
Fortunately, it was dark at night and Sun Yan and the others did not know the road in the mountains. Duan Jiang and Ye Sili took the path and easily avoided Sun Yan's pursuit.
Seeing how fast the road up the mountain was, Ye Sili felt as if he had been fooled, and he still came back after going round and round.
Ye Sili noticed Duan Jiang's body gradually moving towards her. She was about to push him away, but she heard his breathing becoming heavier and faster, and the palms of his hands holding hers were sweating.
Realizing something was wrong, she immediately supported Duan Jiang, "How is it? Can you still walk?"
They were halfway up the mountain. Although they had temporarily gotten rid of Sun Yan's people, this place was by no means a safe place.
Duan Jiang almost leaned on Ye Sili. Ye Sili stood up with difficulty, and then realized that the clothes on Duan Jiang's chest were already soaked with blood.
"There...over there...there is a mountain...cave..." Duan Jiang tried his best to stay awake and pointed to the cliff to their left.
Ye Sili quickly helped him over.
The cave was completely invisible in the distance. When Ye Sili got closer, he saw a large cave behind the grass.
She carefully put Duan Jiang down, but she was not strong enough to hold him back, and Duan Jiang fell directly to the ground.
Ye Sili looked at his wound that started to ooze blood again, and hurriedly helped him lie down to avoid pressing the wound, and then went to the entrance of the hole to carefully remove their traces.
"What to do, what to do..." Ye Sili panicked and wiped Duan Jiang's sweat with his sleeves.
She had never seen the scene tonight. At this moment, Duan Jiang was seriously injured and in critical condition. There were soldiers chasing him at the foot of the mountain. She couldn't get out at all.
Duan Jiang's lips gradually turned white due to excessive blood loss. Ye Sili looked at the wound that was still leaking blood, and helped him untie his clothes in a panic and clumsily.
Duan Jiang struggled to stay awake, grabbed Ye Sili's hand that was unbuttoning his clothes, and said weakly: "Young lady...are you trying to take advantage of others' danger?"
"How long has it been and you're still kidding?" Ye Sili couldn't help crying when she heard Duan Jiang's extremely weak voice.
Duan Jiang took out a small medicine bottle and said, "For external use..."
