Lu Fei flatly refused: "No, if you are like last time and didn't say a word when you were hit by an arrow, I won't have time to treat your injuries."
"Are you stupid? I can't ride a horse and I don't know martial arts. If you get hurt, we will be dead." Xiyue was speechless. She couldn't speak last time and was not familiar with him, so she was too lazy to say anything.
Lu Fei was so embarrassed that he almost couldn't breathe. He obviously didn't want him to get hurt, but why did he say what he said so infuriatingly?
After holding it in for a long time, he said angrily: "How can I, a majestic seven-foot-tall man, let you, a weak woman who doesn't know martial arts, be used as a human shield? Sit down obediently!"
After a pause, he softened his tone and said, "I'll change the direction for you. Sit back and shoot the slingshot. You won't be afraid of falling."
As he spoke, he grabbed Xi Yue's waist, quickly turned her around, and then concentrated on driving the horse across the ravine, running like wind and lightning with all his strength.
Hearing Xi Yue mutter, her hands suddenly stretched out and passed under his armpits, her soft body pressed against him, and her breath was filled with her unique sweet smell.
Lu Fei's breathing was stagnant, his face was burning, and his heartbeat was out of control, thumping like thunder.
The two of them were so close that Xi Yue couldn't hide his accelerated heartbeat. She didn't care either. It was normal for his heartbeat to increase when he was running for his life.
"You can ride the horse with peace of mind, I will leave them to you." She said these words in a clear, sonorous and powerful manner, making people unconsciously convinced.
He turned sideways neatly, with half of his body in the air, opened the slingshot, aimed at the eyes of the maroon horse in front, and shot out suddenly.
Snapped!
The maroon horse's right eye exploded in an instant, and liquid splattered everywhere.
The horse that was hit went crazy with pain and hit a tree on the roadside. The mage on the horse was thrown out. The people behind him had no time to rein in their horses and stepped on them...
The people behind him screamed, which made all the charming thoughts in Lu Fei's heart disappear. He took the time to turn his head and look at Xi Yue's results, and couldn't help but sigh again that she was a good candidate to learn martial arts.
He can shoot so accurately on a fast horse. If he learns martial arts, he can ride a horse and draw a bow, and pass through Yang Ding in a hundred steps.
Pebbles popped out with precision. Xiyue picked her horse to attack. In a moment, the neat pursuit team became sparse, and the mages had to slow down and distance themselves.
When the distance between the two sides was beyond the range of the slingshot, Xi Yue changed into a comfortable position and sighed: "These mages are not as good as the people in the General's Mansion. They can't even shoot arrows?"
Lu Fei also breathed a sigh of relief. The level of riding of the mages was indeed much worse than that of the pursuers of the General's Mansion. It was estimated that they could be completely shaken off after just a few more hours of running.
"You also said that I am a mage. Drawing a bow and riding a horse is a soldier's specialty. Not everyone can draw a bow on horseback, let alone running accurately."
Lu Fei's riding skills were really good. While he was talking, he could no longer see the pursuers and could only hear the sound of horse hooves getting further away.
Just in case, after getting rid of the pursuers, Lu Fei would make some arrangements to lure the enemy at every fork in the road. After traveling for a day and a night, he arrived at a remote town in the early morning.
As soon as they entered the city, Lu Fei whispered: "Let's go separate ways. I'll feed the horses, and you can buy some food. When we're done, we'll meet at the city gate."
Xiyue had no objections. The Imperial Preceptor's Office had forces spread across major towns. For safety reasons, they would have to walk through the mountain roads next. It would be rare to meet anyone for several days, so food must be prepared well.
Suddenly, the sound of rapid horse hooves sounded, and the two of them stopped and looked back.
A team of a hundred people came out of the woods and galloped towards this side. The neat team of horses and solemn expressions were very similar to the scene at the entrance of Maple Leaf Town. The only difference was that the people on the horses were uniformly dressed in light gray uniforms. He looks like a bodyguard from a wealthy family.
No remote town had seen such a battle before. The pedestrians at the city gate were a little panicked and hurried to both sides of the street, whispering about their identities.
Lu Fei was not sure what they were here for, so he decided to remain unchanged in the face of all changes, and pulled Xiyue to retreat to the roadside with the flow of people.
All of these people are masters, and the horses they ride on are also good horses. They have reached the city gate in a short time.
The leader threw an ultimatum to the city gate official and said loudly: "The Chi family of Longxi has been ordered by the imperial master to capture the thieves who kidnapped the princess. Close the city gate and search the whole city!"
Lu Fei's expression suddenly changed, he was here to chase them, but how did the other party know that they were in the town?
Without thinking about the reason, he made a prompt decision, hugged Xiyue, got on his horse, and rushed out of the city before the other party could react.
Under normal circumstances, when the Chi family came to the city, they would have taken out their portraits and asked the official if he had seen them, instead of asking to close the city gate and search. This showed that the other party was sure that they were in the town.
But how do you know?
They have just arrived.
After thinking about it, the only explanation is that someone used a secret tracking method.
But he couldn't remember when the other party did it. Along the way, he rarely met people, let alone close contact.
When he was in Maple Leaf Town, apart from fighting Zhao Xu's people when he was silenced, he had never let them get close to him before.
After once again crippling the Chi family's chasing team, they stopped by a small river with lush water and grass, allowing the horses to groom themselves, eat grass and drink water, while the two of them hurriedly checked their clothing and accessories.
I checked all over my body and found nothing unusual. There were no unusual smells or traces on my clothes, accessories, or skin.
In desperation, the two simply jumped into the river to wash themselves, mounted their horses and continued to escape. Unexpectedly, three days later, they were discovered again by people from the Ling'an Xun family, and they began a new round of escape.
Along the way, his whereabouts were constantly discovered. He changed his body and even his horse, but it still didn't help.
Lu Fei was puzzled and tracked down the multi-purpose medicinal powder. Even the special medicinal powder that was insoluble in water should be gone after changing clothes.
Moreover, most medicinal powders have an expiration date. It has been less than half a month, how come they are still found?
The night was dark, like thick ink that could not be melted away. The cold wind whistled across the wilderness, and the grass blades swayed, adding to the desolation.
Lu Fei sat upwind, blocking the gusts of cold wind. Even so, the bonfire was still blown against the wood, almost extinguished.
Another gust of cold wind blew, and he stretched out his hand to block it: "I'll keep watch until half the night. You can go to sleep first."
This time, Xiyue didn't fall asleep like before. She pursed her lips and said, "Lu Fei, let's go."
Lu Fei paused and said angrily: "Should I leave? Are you going to die if I leave?"
Although she was a little reluctant to give up, Xi Yue still said in a deep voice: "This is the best choice. It is better for me to die than for both of us to die together."
They have tried various methods, but still can't get rid of the tracking, and they don't know the tracking method left by the other party.
Since the target of the National Preceptor's Office is her, the tracking hands and feet are probably on her. Without her as a bright target, Lu Fei will definitely be able to escape with his ability.
"I saved you not to let you die!" Lu Fei raised his voice and said firmly, "We will definitely be able to escape. If it doesn't work, let's go to Kuocang Mountain. The Imperial Master stays on the mountain all year round to practice. Try to find a way to kill him. He destroyed the National Master's Mansion!"
Without the Imperial Master's Office, he can take her back to Yunhuang Island and live under the name A Yue.
Xiyue slowly curled her fingers to make a fist. There was always a distance between her index and middle fingers and the palm of her hand, and she couldn't hold them tightly. She opened her mouth, and finally swallowed back the words that had reached her lips under Lu Fei's burning and firm gaze. .
She loosened her fingers and let them fall by her side, "Didn't you say that the power of the Imperial Preceptor's Office is spread all over the continent? There is also a mysterious Imperial Preceptor who rarely appears. Can you destroy it?"
“Always give it a try!”
After a moment, Xiyue raised her eyebrows and said, "Then you can sleep, I'll keep watch, and I can catch up on my sleep on the horse."
Lu Fei thought so and didn't insist. He wanted to ride a horse and had little time to rest. He had to seize the rare rest time.
He put his clothes on the hay and fell asleep on his side. After two breaths, he heard a faint vibration in his ears that were pressed against the ground.
Lu Fei was surprised and quickly put his ears close, holding his breath and listening carefully. A series of rapid vibrations came towards this direction, which was the sound of horse hooves.
Seeing his movements, Xiyue lay on the ground and listened carefully, saying, "There is only one person, could it be the pursuer?"
Lu Fei shook his head and put out the fire in twos and twos, and the surrounding area suddenly darkened.
After a moment, I heard a familiar voice, "Brother Lu, Miss Ah Yue, where are you?"
It's Jiang Shida.
After confirming that only one person came, Lu Fei said: "We are here."
Jiang Shida came over looking for the voice and said hurriedly: "Get out of here quickly, the National Preceptor's Office has united all forces to surround this place!"
Lu Fei pondered for a moment and chose to believe him.
"Follow me!" Jiang Shida didn't bother to explain. As soon as he finished speaking, he had already galloped out with his whip raised.
After running a certain distance, he found that the sound of horse hooves behind him was gradually slowing down. He couldn't help but turn around and urge: "Hurry up!"
But Lu Feile stopped his horse and said, "It's too late."
At some point, the thick clouds in the sky dispersed, revealing the pale moon. Groups of people walked out from the dead branches of weeds and blocked the road ahead.
"There are actually helpers."
As a soft and cold voice sounded, bunches of torches lit up on the right, followed by the left, front, and back. In a moment, the surroundings were filled with dots of torches, illuminating the surrounding area as yellow as day.
"Third brother, come back!"
A steady voice came from behind. Jiang Shida turned around and saw his eldest brother's face was so gloomy that he could shed tears.
"Brother." Jiang Shida called weakly and lowered his head under his eldest brother's sharp gaze.
After a moment, he pointed at Lu Fei again: "Our target is Princess Xiyue. It has nothing to do with him. Can you let her go?"
Next to the Jiang family team, the leading man teased in an unclear way: "Tsk, tsk, what a righteous and righteous Third Young Master Jiang!"
The others were silent and turned their attention to the woman on horseback. Her face was solemn in the firelight, and her eyes glanced around from time to time, as if thinking about where to break out.
A small number of people paid attention to Lu Fei. He hugged Jiang Shida and said in a deep voice: "Thank you Brother Jiang for your kindness. I have promised to protect her with the sword in my hand. Brother Jiang, please." Come back."
The eyes of the leading mage of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion were dark. This was the first time in thousands of years that someone had gained Princess Xiyue's trust and stayed with her.
With a thought in his mind, he raised his voice and said to Lu Fei: "I think you were young and ignorant and deceived by her. If you can repent in time, I will spare your life."
"Deceit?" Lu Fei clenched his sword and sneered, "In terms of deception, who can beat you? You fool the people and confuse right and wrong..."
As he spoke, Xi Yue in front of him turned her face sideways, covering her lips with his clothes, and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Go east first, pretending to be heading toward the Zhujian Villa team, and when you get in front of them, turn to the southeast to break out. I’ll take care of the fat guy.”
Lu Fei sneered and continued to ridicule what they did, and then suddenly used his strength to rush eastward, his sword shining like snow, and slashed horizontally.
Mo Li's sword was made by the Sword Casting Villa, and they were very aware of its power. Everyone in the Villa did not dare to be careless at all, holding their swords in hand to block Mo Li's attack.
People and horses from all walks of life also gathered around that way. After a blow, Lu Fei suddenly turned around and ran towards the southeast. At the same time, he heard a hiss and the mellow Zhennan King fell to the ground with his men and horses, leaving a gap.
Lu Fei tightened the reins, and the horse leapt into the air, leaping over King Zhennan.
"Fire the arrow!"
Xi Yue, who skillfully reached out and pulled out the slingshot, was shocked. She saw black figures rising up in the dark forest. The fully drawn bow strings were like the full moon in the sky. The moonlight fell from the leaves and was reflected by the armor on their bodies with a cold sheen.
There is an ambush!
Xiyue's eyes widened, and fear emerged in her heart. She saw endless firelight, and dense arrows shot through the air from the firelight.
No!
She threw away the slingshot and grabbed Lu Fei's shoulder to get behind her, but Lu Fei hugged her waist tightly: "Don't move."
"Let go, Lu Fei, let go! You will die!" She almost shouted the last sentence, her voice was so sharp that it was deformed, and the fingers on Lu Fei's shoulders turned white from the force.
puff!
puff!
puff……
The sound of sharp arrows penetrating flesh was heard intensively. She stretched out her hand to block the flying arrows, but it was in vain.
In just a short moment, her palms, Lu Fei's back, and the horse were all filled with sharp arrows of various colors. In the blur, she could see arrow feathers of various colors and materials, and different patterns engraved on the arrow shafts. Pattern...
There was warm liquid flowing down her chest, both from Lu Fei and hers. There were always some good players in the armies of various countries. The arrows they shot passed through Lu Fei's body and inserted into her body.
The painful neighing of the horse made Xiyue recover from the dizziness, "Lu Fei."
She screamed softly and was thrown away by the horse. The hand around her waist never let go while the world was spinning.
Rolling down the gentle slope, after an unknown amount of time, it finally stopped. Xiyue tried her best to get up and called out: "Lu Fei! Lu Fei, wake up..."
Through the sparse moonlight, she saw that Lu Fei was covered in blood. There was no good piece of flesh on his face, arms, and neck. The arrows on his back were roughly broken as they rolled down and penetrated deeper into his body. .
Tears fell one by one and washed away the blood and dirt on Lu Fei's eyelids. He opened his eyes slightly and spoke with difficulty: "Don't be afraid, I'm waiting for you in... Huangquan... and we'll be together in the next life..."
Before he spoke, his head tilted to one side, lifeless.
Xiyue's heart was like a knife, and huge despair enveloped her. She fell on Lu Fei's chest, tears welling up in her eyes, and all the past events flashed through her mind one by one.
