Lu Xinghe reacted quickly, rolled to the side and jumped away.
But before he could react, he heard a "whoosh" sound, and the second crossbow arrow struck with overwhelming momentum. Lu Xinghe had no time to react, and just as he was about to be hit by the crossbow arrow, a thin figure suddenly blocked him. in front of you.
"Pfft!"
It was the sound of crossbow arrows piercing flesh.
"Princess!" Ningdong cried and shouted.
The crossbow arrow was so powerful that Chu Yue's body flew backwards uncontrollably, and could not stop until it hit a familiar chest.
She was originally looking for Lu Xinghe everywhere. When she heard the warning voice just now, before she had time to rejoice that Lu Xinghe was still alive, she saw the arrow shooting towards him. She didn't have time to think too much and instinctively He jumped up and stood in front of him.
It hurts!
Heimu, who was looking for someone in the distance, heard the noise, and before he had time to think about it, he unsheathed his long sword and slapped the man in black in the distance with his palm.
The man in black was still congratulating himself for killing two people with one stone, and did not even notice the sharp sword energy behind him.
By the time he reacted, it was too late to dodge and he was nailed to the tree trunk, dying with his eyes open.
Lu Xinghe was slightly stunned when he saw the figure standing in front of him just now, as if he didn't expect that someone would risk his life to save him.
When he heard Ningdong's voice, he looked at the thin figure that ran into his arms in disbelief, his eyes filled with fear.
When he saw her profile clearly, there was even more fear on her face.
His eyes were red and he asked in a trembling voice, "Yueyue, how could it be you?"
Then he looked down at the position where the arrow was against his chest. Because there was the gold medal Chu Yue asked him to take with him before leaving, the arrow just did not penetrate his chest.
Otherwise, even if someone stands in front of him, he will definitely be killed or seriously injured.
This silly girl used her body and gold medal to save her own life!
Lu Xinghe's heart felt as if a large piece had been cut out, and the throbbing pain was suffocating.
Chu Yue spat out a mouthful of blood and fell weakly into Lu Xinghe's arms. She felt that she was very tired after looking for someone for a whole day.
She showed a smile that was uglier than crying, raised her hand to touch the man's angular face, and said intermittently, "Mr., you're okay...that's great..."
After saying that, he dropped his hands to the ground and closed his eyes.
The man who had always been calm and composed was in a state of confusion at this moment, and tears flowed down uncontrollably. Together with the rain, they poured from his collar into his chest, and a chill swept through his body.
"Didn't I ask you to wait in the capital for me to come back and marry you? Why do you come here to take risks?"
"Yueyue, wake up quickly. You can't die. I don't want you to save me. It's me who deserves death. Wake up!"
"I won't let you die!"
Ningdong's face was also full of sadness, and he knelt down beside Chu Yue and cried loudly.
"Princess Princess!"
Kuroki pulled out the sword from the chest of the man in black and put it back into the scabbard before he came in front of a few people. When he saw the scene in front of him, the usually cold and ruthless killer suddenly turned red. He clenched his jaw. Staring closely at the pale face in Lu Xinghe's arms, it seemed like he had a thousand words to say, but he couldn't say a single word.
Wu Yong in the cave in the distance also heard the movement. When he arrived wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat, he was immediately dumbfounded and knelt down next to Chu Yue.
He looked at Lu Xinghe with questioning eyes and his voice was trembling.
"what happened?"
"It's me who deserves to die, she shouldn't have blocked my arrow." Lu Xinghe's eyes were red, he picked up Chu Yue and walked down the mountain. As he walked, he shouted anxiously, "Heimu, how did you get here?" Here? Where's the ship? I'm going to take Yueyue back to the city to find the imperial doctor, Ningdong, please quickly look for any hemostatic medicine."
Regardless of whether there were men in black coming to attack her, he had to take her back to the imperial doctor for treatment.
Even if there is only a glimmer of hope.
Heimu hurriedly led the way, leading Lu Xinghe towards the direction where the ship had been hidden.
Ningdong seemed to notice Wu Yong's weakness, and stepped forward to help him walk down the mountain step by step, catching up with Hei Mu and Lu Xinghe.
Fortunately the ship is still there.
Several people got on the boat. Lu Xinghe took off his raincoat and put it on Chu Yue, hugging her body tightly so that she could be closer to him and not be chilled by the river wind.
The eyes under the wide brim of the hat were frighteningly red. Lu Xinghe stared unblinkingly at Chu Yue, who had a pale face in his arms. Her vivid appearance in the past flashed through his mind frame by frame, and her every smile had already been engraved in his heart. .
"Yueyue, you have to hold on, I will always be with you."
As soon as Ningdong got on the boat, he quickly unfolded the baggage, rummaged through it, and took out pills from a bottle.
"This is a hemostatic pill made by the princess. The current conditions are limited. We can only stop the bleeding of the princess first, and we have to deal with the rest after returning to the inn."
After feeding Chu Yue the pills, she took out an oil paper bag from under the ship's plank, dug out two pancakes, and gave one to Wu Yong and the other to Lu Xinghe.
"General Wu, my aunt, you should all eat something first. The princess often says that only when you have a full stomach can you have the strength to work."
They had been hunted here four days ago, and it was raining heavily, so there was definitely not enough food.
Lu Xinghe nodded slightly.
"You go help Heimu punt the boat. I'm here in Yueyue."
"yes."
After Ningdong finished speaking, he picked up the oar and rowed forward with Heimu.
Wu Yong was not idle either. After stuffing the pancake into his mouth three times, he chewed it, picked up the other oar and rowed hard back.
"Before it gets completely dark, we'd better paddle across the river bank over there. The current there is fast. If the boat is washed away from the direction, it's easy to get lost."
Heimu and Ningdong didn't speak, but their speed became faster.
Fortunately, there were no more men in black chasing them on the way back. The three of them crossed the river embankment in one go. At this moment, it was completely dark.
Because it was too dark, a few people slowed down to avoid accidents.
In the dark night, Lu Xinghe looked at Wu Yong's somewhat shaky figure and frowned slightly.
"Wu Yong, please stop paddling."
"I'm fine. Entering the city earlier can save Yueyue's life earlier." Wu Yong said in a deep voice.
After a while, Lu Xinghe spoke again.
"You take care of Yueyue, and I'll row the boat."
It's not that he wants to leave Chu Yue to Wu Yong's care, it's mainly because Wu Yong's right arm was injured and it has been difficult to heal after being soaked in water. If this continues, the arm may be useless.
He is a martial arts practitioner and a right-armed person. If it affects him when holding a sword in the future, it will be like this for the rest of his life.
He didn't want Chu Yue to feel guilty, and he didn't want to owe Wu Yong too much.
"She is your wife, how does it look like for me to take care of her?" Wu Yong refused without thinking.
