Chapter 355 Jumping off a cliff
Chapter 355 Jumping off a cliff
Tang Liuqing and Liu Yunxue originally planned to quickly escape back to the palace with Xu Yuexi, but they did not expect that the other party had made full preparations and had set up many ambushes early on, blocking their way and leaving them no chance to escape back to the palace.
Looking at the masked men in black who suddenly appeared again, Tang Liuqing thought to himself that something was wrong. Judging from the situation, it would be unlikely for them to return to the palace.
Who on earth was so bold? How dare they assassinate the princess of the dynasty in Kyoto? They made such a big noise, where did the patrol officers responsible for maintaining the city's law and order go? What's even more strange is that they have already run through several streets, but why can't they see any ordinary people on the street? All this was arranged so carefully, it's unbelievable!
However, the current situation does not allow Tang Liuqing to think about these issues carefully.
Liu Yunxue hugged Xu Yuexi tightly and looked vigilantly at the man in black who appeared again.
Xu Yuexi was horrified. This was in Kyoto! She was a princess, and most of her husbands were princes from various countries. Who was so bold as to assassinate her? What had she done to offend anyone?
If she had known earlier, she would not have been afraid of trouble and brought more people out of the palace. However, these people were so skilled in martial arts that her guards would probably be killed if they faced them.
Thinking that she would only be a burden, Xu Yuexi became anxious. Thinking of Xiao Tongzi who had disappeared since that day, Xu Yuexi kept calling out to him in her mind.
"Xiao Tongzi, call Xiao Tongzi, come out quickly, help!"
Tang Liuqing put aside the messy thoughts in his mind and took a deep breath, "Yunxue, don't confront me head-on, protect my wife and follow me."
There were only two of them, and fighting them head-on would mean death, so now they could only flee with their wives. Liu Yunxue had only been married to Kyoto for a few months and was not that familiar with Kyoto, so he had to lead the way.
Tang Liuqing and Liu Yunxue ran all the way to the city gate. There were guards there, so they should be able to send someone to get help.
Finally ran to the city gate.
However, when the guards at the city gate saw them, they drew their weapons without asking any questions.
"Stop! I am Princess Wuyou of the current dynasty. Who of you dares to hurt me?" Xu Yuexi shouted hurriedly upon seeing this.
But the guards turned a deaf ear and just rushed over to kill them.
The three of them felt a sinking feeling in their hearts; it seemed that these guards had also been bribed.
"Master, what should we do now?" Liu Yunxue asked anxiously.
Tang Liuqing's eyes were cold, "Follow me! Let's rush out."
After saying this, he gripped his sword tightly and rushed towards the guards.
Liu Yunxue followed closely behind, holding Xu Yuexi.
"Yunxue, Fengqing, hurry, run, the men in black are catching up with us." Xu Yuexi saw the men in black appearing and hurriedly reminded them.
When Liu Yunxue and Tang Liuqing heard this, they immediately cooperated with each other tacitly, fought hard to kill the enemy, and rushed out as soon as they avoided the guards.
Tang Liuqing rushed forward like lightning, his graceful figure seemed to blend into the wind. Liu Yunxue followed closely behind, holding Xu Yuexi carefully. Although both of them were performing peerless light skills, they were filled with a sense of urgency and anxiety.
No matter how hard he tried, those mysterious shadows always stuck close to him like ghosts. Every time he looked back, he could see the group of men in black getting closer and closer.
Time passed by, and the distance between the two sides still did not increase. Fine beads of sweat oozed from Tang Liuqing's forehead, and his breathing gradually became rapid, but he did not dare to relax at all. Liu Yunxue was also out of breath. He was carrying Xu Yuexi and running with a heavy load, which was still very tiring.
The two of them were in a panic and kept shuttling through the dense forest. Xu Yuexi endured the discomfort in her body and hugged Liu Yunxue tightly, trying not to affect the two of them.
"Xiao Tongzi, call Xiao Tongzi, come out quickly, help!"
Xu Yuexi kept calling out in her mind all the way, but she didn't hear any response from Xiao Tongzi.
The three of them ran for an unknown amount of time before Tang Liuqing and Liu Yunxue gradually ran out of energy and could not run any longer! At this moment, fate played another cruel joke on them - there was no road ahead!
What appeared before their eyes was a bottomless abyss, like the bloody mouth of a ferocious beast, waiting to devour them. The man in black who was chasing them relentlessly had no intention of stopping, approaching step by step like a ghost, and the cold murderous aura filled the air, making people suffocate.
On the edge of the cliff, Tang Liuqing and Liu Yunxue protected Xu Yuexi on the left and right, staring at the approaching man in black without any fear in their eyes.
As the men in black approached, the atmosphere became increasingly tense.
The air around them seemed to be frozen, with only the rustling of leaves and the heavy breathing of both parties intertwined.
Xu Yuexi looked at the two men beside her and made up her mind.
Suddenly, Xu Yuexi shouted, "Who are you? How dare you be so presumptuous! Don't you know that I am the beloved daughter of the current emperor and a princess of a country? My husbands are all crown princes of various countries. Can you bear the consequences of being besieged by all countries for doing this?"
Xu Yuexi's eyebrows were raised, her beautiful eyes were wide open, and she stared angrily at the group of black-clothed men in front of her who had unknown origins. She exuded a majestic aura that made people dare not look at her directly.
Although Xu Yuexi was also scared to death, she had experienced life and death several times, so she quickly calmed down. Even if she died, she would never lose her momentum.
Although she had lost her magic power and martial arts, she still had her space! She would never give up until the last moment.
"Princess Wuyou is truly a woman who is as capable as any man! At this moment, facing such a life-and-death situation, she is still able to remain calm and composed. This is truly admirable. She is worthy of being the woman our Pavilion Master has set his eyes on.
I am the head of the first hall of the God-killing Pavilion. I am here on the orders of my master to bring the princess back to be the wife of our master. As long as the princess agrees, I promise not to harm the two people around you. "
The leader of the men in black, Wu Shou, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, looking at the graceful yet resolute woman in front of him with a half-smile.
"Since you know my identity, you hurt all my husbands, chased us for a whole day and night, forced me to this point, and still want me to marry your Pavilion Master? Are you crazy?"
The God-killing Pavilion, could it be that Li Yansheng's creation again? Last time it was the God-killing Palace, this time it's the God-killing Pavilion?
"The princess is wrong. Our Pavilion Master is of noble status, how could he share a wife with others? Our Pavilion Master only marries a wife, not someone else! Since the princess doesn't want to, we will help you solve the problem of your husband." said the black-clad leader Wushou.
"Haha, you cowards who don't even dare to show their faces, yet you are so arrogant as to ask me to marry you. You are really like a toad wanting to eat swan meat - you want beauty!"
"Does the princess still have a choice now?"
"Who said I have no choice? But I am very curious. I have never met your Pavilion Master. Why does he want to marry me?"
"Chunxi Street, the princess's stunning glimpse has remained in our Pavilion Master's heart. Princess Wuyou, as long as you follow us obediently, we will never make things difficult for you."
After hearing what Wushou said, Xu Yuexi felt angry and regretful.
Damn it, even after all this, you still don’t want to embarrass her?
If she had known that she would meet a crazy leader when she went shopping, she would never set foot on that damn street even if he beat her to death.
It’s a pity that knowing it earlier is priceless!
Xu Yuexi ignored Wushou's words and whispered to Tang Liuqing and Liu Yunxue, "Fengqing, Yunxue, I'll count to three, and you jump with me. Let's go to hell together. Do you dare?"
"Xi'er, if I can have a wife like this, why wouldn't I dare?"
"Ayue, I said, no matter where you go, I will accompany you."
They had already prepared for the worst.
"Okay, one, two, three, jump!"
Xu Yuexi stretched out her hands and held Tang Liuqing and Liu Yunxue tightly beside her. The three of them looked at each other, and without any hesitation, they took a step together and jumped into the abyss.
