Chapter 70 Exchange
The white snow was flying all over the sky, but beads of sweat appeared on Ji Ruxue's forehead, slowly sliding down from between her beautiful eyebrows and hanging on the three-dimensional nose tip.
Beside her face, Xiao Yan's right hand was still holding the hilt of the sword, but only the hilt was left.
At this time, the entire sword body had been broken, leaving only the slightly delicate handle, which he held tightly in his hand.
"Don't hold it..."
Ji Ruxue held Xiao Yan and took faster steps than when she came. Facing the wind and snow blowing in her face, she whispered, "It's over if it's broken. I won't blame you."
But the person behind her did not make any sound. The girl was startled, but did not dare to stop. She left a long trail in the snow and went west.
……
"Pfft."
Sanqianyuan caught the arrow and threw it backwards, knocking the two chasing cavalrymen off their horses.
The ownerless mount rushed towards him neighing, and he turned over and rode on it.
Then, he looked at the traces of snow on the ground in the distance, pulled the reins, and ran in the other direction with the other ownerless horse.
Hundreds of soldiers and horses followed him in the distance, and after seeing two dead bodies and two lines of horse hoof tracks on the ground, they followed the tracks. However, some people also found the snow track that was gradually covered by the snow, so they divided into small groups to follow the tracks.
……
Under the shadow of the snow, the entire field was extremely empty, and in the darkness it seemed that even the direction could not be discerned.
Ji Ruxue looked at the white snow all over the ground. She was a little dazzled, not knowing whether it was because of the intense exhaustion of her physical strength or because of her restlessness. But she just pursed her lips tightly and ran away in one direction stubbornly.
I don't know how long it took, but I suddenly heard the rustling sound of horse hooves stepping on the snow behind me, and then a rough laugh sounded in the wind and snow: "You thief, if you don't stop, I will shoot you with an arrow!"
The girl just ignored it and held the person behind her tightly, without stopping, and actually created some distance between them in a short time.
The imperial guards chasing behind were obviously annoyed, whipping their horses hard and speeding up to catch up.
At the same time, the sound of arrows shooting was heard.
Ji Ruxue stopped for a moment, then turned over and stood up, avoiding several arrows that were already lacking in power.
But she was afraid that if she didn't dodge, these arrows might hurt Xiao Yan.
As a result, more than ten riders closed the distance. Some of them had already drawn their shining swords and said excitedly, "It's actually a little beauty..."
Then, more than ten riders rode their horses and half-surrounded them.
"Bitch, is the person behind you Li Yu, the Prince of Jiyin?"
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Just capture her and torture her and we'll know!"
Several riders did not wait any longer and charged forward with their swords.
Ji Ruxue gritted her teeth but refused to let go of Xiao Yan.
She raised her toes and a splash of snow flew out. Then she moved nimbly and avoided the horse that was about to hit her.
Someone was blinded by the snow, and let out an angry roar, then ducked down on his horse's back and slashed over.
Ji Ruxue had already dodged, but now she could only put Xiao Yan down for the time being, and then stood in front of him, using the same trick again, stirring up the snow particles with her toes, and at the same time, she leaned forward, bent her slender waist backward, and slapped the man's arm heavily, and a sound of breaking bones was heard instantly.
The cavalryman was just feeling a stinging pain in his eyes, and at this moment he let out a scream, his long sword fell from his hand, and his horse carried him past.
Ji Ruxue looked calm. She raised her hand to catch the hilt of the knife, then turned her wrist and the long knife flew out into the air, piercing his back.
The sudden change startled the other pursuers, but someone just pointed a knife at Xiao Yan, who was lying in the snow, and laughed grimly.
"Capture this man first!"
The few imperial guards who were in the front pulled the reins, turned their horses' heads to the side, and rushed towards the figure on the ground.
Ji Ruxue was indeed a little flustered and turned around to go back for help.
Behind her, the commanding cavalryman smiled grimly, spurred his horse over, and as he sped up, he raised the blade in his hand high, ready to chop down from top to bottom.
The girl had sensed the chill behind her, but her beautiful eyes were fixed on the riders who were approaching Xiao Yan, and she stretched out her hand with all her strength.
But after all, it was still far from enough.
Behind him, the cavalryman had an arrogant look on his face.
"die!"
Under the flying snow, Ji Ruxue's fingertips trembled.
However, at this sudden moment, a petal suddenly fell among the snow shadows covering the wilderness.
Then, the petals fluttered.
Everyone subconsciously widened their eyes.
"Puchi." A pink bandage seemed to fly out from the dark shadow out of thin air and suddenly pierced through the chest of the cavalryman behind Ji Ruxue.
Then, two more bandages suddenly came across and swept Xiao Yan away from the snow.
Drops of blood splashed across Ji Ruxue's cheek.
The cavalryman fell down with a loud bang without a sound.
The riders who were trying to grab Xiao Yan missed their target, and several of their mounts failed to brake and crashed into each other.
A vague aura of solemnity and murderousness instantly enveloped the place.
Ji Ruxue was startled, but she did not slow down. She tapped the snow with her toes and flew backwards out of the encirclement.
At this time, the frightened voices of the imperial guards cavalry were heard.
"who!?"
Ji Ruxue felt something and looked back.
In the sky, flower petals were mixed among the snowflakes, and they had not yet fallen.
Under the petals, a graceful figure with long hair walked lightly in the snow.
Not far from her, Xiao Yan, who was tied up with bandages, frowned and finally fainted.
At the same time, a soft but extremely charming voice was heard.
"Can't you see?"
"Of course she's a beauty."
"Looking for death!" The remaining pursuers were all furious and rode away on their horses in the snow.
The petals falling from the sky seemed to stop for a moment at this moment.
Ji Ruxue's breathing paused, and she clearly saw countless bandages wrapped around the woman's wrists flying out at the same time.
"Puff puff……"
More than a dozen ownerless mounts rushed away and disappeared into the dark wilderness.
Now, the fluttering petals finally fell.
A hint of vigilance flashed across Ji Ruxue's beautiful eyes, but she immediately crouched down beside Xiao Yan, helped him up, and held him in her arms.
However, at this time, dark purple-black color had spread up the latter's neck.
Ji Ruxue's heart beat rapidly. She tore off the bandages on Xiao Yan's body in a few seconds and opened the clothes on his left chest. She saw a small palm print that was particularly clear. There was a wisp of ghostly energy between the fingerprints, which had almost spread to half of his body.
She was at a loss, but subconsciously put her palm on it, trying to use her internal force to drive away the evil spirit.
"Don't bother yourself, little girl."
Over there, a beautiful figure elegantly stroked her long pink hair beside her ears and said, "The wound on him is filled with evil spirits, which are hundreds of times stronger than corpse poison. If you touch it, you will surely die."
Ji Ruxue pursed her lips, and squatted stubbornly beside Xiao Yan with her head down, putting both her hands on him.
Qianying blinked and raised the corner of her mouth with interest.
"You want to save him so much?"
Ji Ruxue's forehead was covered with sweat, and she whispered, "I owe him my life."
Qianying exclaimed in amazement, and then walked to her side.
"There aren't many people in this world who can save him, but there are some..."
"Aren't you curious, who can save him?"
"You must be one of them." Ji Ruxue turned around and took back her hand that had been invaded by the evil spirit. Then she said with trembling hands: "I am not a person without foresight. Since the girl is willing to show up to save us, she must have a way to remove this evil spirit. Please save him..."
The beautiful and charming eyes of the beautiful figure were obviously stunned for a moment, and then a hint of dissatisfaction flashed across her face.
"You want to save him so badly. I have some conditions. Can you agree to them?"
"I will die with no regrets."
Qianying chuckled, bent down, and pinched Ji Ruxue's cold cheek with her jade hands with pink nails.
"You have nice eyes, would you like to change them?"
Ji Ruxue was stunned at first, but then she acted without hesitation.
"Change."
There is still one chapter until the early morning, you can wait until tomorrow morning to read it.
