In the dense forest, the moonlight was cut into pieces by the leaves and scattered on the ground. A gust of wind blew, and countless branches hunched their shoulders strangely like ghosts, making strange sounds.
Even if Huo Linye turned into ashes, Yun Si would recognize him.
Sure enough, out of the darkness, Huo Linye rode a horse and quickly arrived in front of them.
"Take her away."
Huo Shenzhi put his arm around Yun Si's waist and lifted her up with force.
Yun Si subconsciously grabbed Huo Shenzhi's arm and turned to look at him: "Nine Masters!"
The wind howled, Huo Shenzhi's face was hidden in the darkness, and the broken moonlight shook on his body. His voice was also blurry at this moment: "Now is the time when I need you to be obedient."
Huo Linye couldn't see or hear clearly, but he just felt that it was very eye-catching that Yun Si was sitting in the arms of another man like this.
He quickly stepped forward, grabbed Yun Si's shoulders, and lifted Yun Si directly onto his horse: "Those people's target is Uncle Nine Emperors, not you. If you follow me and leave, you can still have a way to survive."
Yun Si didn't hear what Huo Linye said, but she knew that it was the right thing to obey them at this time and not be a burden.
She turned back to look at Huo Shenzhi. In the overlapping shadows, she couldn't see his expression clearly. She could only see him turning his horse's head to turn back.
"Master Jiu, let's go together!"
Yun Si reached out and wanted to grab Huo Shenzhi's clothes.
The hem of the clothes was as slippery as a fish in her hands, and all she caught was a wisp of cold wind.
"Go down the mountain." He would lead people there.
"Master Jiu!" Yun Si shouted in a suppressed voice, without even seeing him turn around.
Huo Linye quickly turned the horse's head and pinned Yun Si firmly on the horse: "Do you really want to follow him to death? With Uncle Nine Emperors' ability, nothing will happen to him. Even if he does, it won't be your turn to follow him alone. The accompanying medical officer is worried!"
Yun Si turned around subconsciously, just wanting to take a look.
Before he could see it, his head was pushed back by Huo Linye.
"drive!"
Huo Linye tightened the horse's reins, and just as he was about to gallop, a "rumbling" sound suddenly came from his ears.
Under the moonlight, wherever you can see, the rushing mud and rocks easily break the trees and are swallowing them at a visible speed.
"Landslide?"
A natural disaster without warning?
Yun Si's nerves tightened: "Go down the mountain, quickly!"
"It was caused by someone who was afraid that you would not die and would be difficult to find, so they pushed down countless stones from the top of the mountain and took advantage of the terrain."
Huo Linye's horse was galloping, and the boulders behind him were chasing after him.
The small, unobstructed stone flew directly towards him and hit his upper body, seemingly with a huge force.
Yun Si's forehead was bleeding in the blink of an eye.
The next moment, the horse was frightened, hit by a stone, and fell forward.
"Yun Si!" Huo Linye was thrown downwards. He stretched out his hand to pull Yun Si, but the boulder rolled down, covering up all his sounds!
In an instant, the sky and the earth were dark, and Yun Si could only hear the sound of the rushing wind and the sound of the collision with the boulders.
"hiss--"
The horse neighed, and just when Yun Si was about to be buried by the boulder, the wind soared into the sky. In Yun Si's eyes, the figure of the man who fell from the carriage clearly appeared.
"Master Jiu!"
Huo Shenzhi stretched out his hand to fish it out, rolled her into his arms, and fell heavily into the endless darkness.
Zhui Feng jumped up and ran directly towards the foot of the mountain, his neighing sound attracting the assassin.
I don't know how long it took, but the sound in her ears stopped, and Yun Si raised her head with difficulty from Huo Shenzhi's arms.
She was protected tightly by Huo Shenzhi, and she couldn't see anything in the dim place where her fingers could not be seen.
"Master Jiu?"
Only then did the cold hand touch Huo Shenzhi's face, and the wet liquid fell on Yun Si's face.
She stretched out her hand and touched it. The blood flowed down Huo Shenzhi's pressed back and slowly soaked into his body.
"Are you injured?" Huo Shenzhi couldn't move, and his voice was only a little dull, and he couldn't tell whether it was good or bad.
"No, nothing's wrong with me. I touched you and you were bleeding. It's too dark here and I can't see. There's no way to treat you and bandage you. Where are you injured? Can you move?"
Yun Si's hand grasped Huo Shenzhi's shoulder, and she felt itchy on the back of her hand. The cuffs were against her skin, and she began to feel a slight chill.
"Blood!"
Yun Si was about to raise her hand, but was stopped by Huo Shenzhi.
"There are many rocks on my back. If you move, I'm afraid it will cause a second fall. By then, we will all die here."
His voice was very slow, and he deliberately controlled his breath, fearing that the people under him would worry.
Yun Si was a doctor, so she couldn't tell anything, but she didn't expose it. She just said: "Jiuye, please stop talking and save your strength. If you send out the signal, someone will come to rescue us soon. Huo..."
Yun Si was about to speak but stopped.
Huo Shenzhi said quietly: "It is impossible for Huo Linye to be in trouble, and the emperor will not tell him to be in trouble. When I came over just now, I saw him being taken away quickly."
"Did the emperor send people to kill Master Jiu? To seize military power, to get rid of worries?"
Yun Si had a splitting headache: "Jiu Ye has never had any intention of rebellion, why is he so aggressive!"
Huo Shenzhi smiled softly: "How do you know that I have no rebellious intentions, and how do you know that I am willing to submit to a mediocre and incompetent person and live like this for the rest of my life?"
The air froze instantly, and Yun Si couldn't see his expression, but she could clearly hear the arrogance that penetrated her bones.
"Yun Si."
Huo Shenzhi did not give her another chance to ask other questions. He swallowed the sweet taste in his mouth and his voice suddenly became hoarse: "I am not sure that I can survive until the reinforcements arrive. I only ask you one question now, and it is the last time. If it is now, what will happen again?" I’ll give you a chance to choose a marriage contract, will you accept it?”
A drop of wet and hot liquid fell on Yun Si's face.
One after another, more and more, it seems that they are about to flow in one stream.
Yun Si's heart skipped a beat. Now she felt that her whole body was cold, soaked in his blood.
If he hadn't saved her, Master Jiu would have definitely been able to leave.
"willing!"
What else can be said at this moment?
Huo Shenzhi also laughed: "I wasn't willing before, but now that I'm about to die, why do you just do it like this?"
"The man who says he loves me may not be willing to do so much for me. What's more, she is just a princess in name only. She doesn't even need to show up, so she may not be known to the world. Master Jiu, you have to live. Those soldiers need you, I..."
Yun Si didn't know what kind of emotion was filling her heart now, but the thought of Huo Shenzhi's possible death made her heart aching.
"Huh?" He was looking forward to her saying something.
--I need you too.
Yun Si's clothes were completely wet with his blood. She knew that this was no longer blood, but his life.
Her voice trembled, with a desperate sob: "We agreed that if you die within one year, wouldn't it be a waste of time for me to take advantage of you? Jiu... Brother Ninth, let's live together, don't... don't die..."
The more invisible she became, the more frightened Yun Si became, and she couldn't help but think about the bad things.
How much blood can withstand the flow of blood on a person's body. Every breath she took, every blink she took, meant that Huo Shenzhi's life was fleeting.
"Yeah." He raised the corners of his lips, closed his eyes and responded lightly.
No one could see how much his back was supporting the people beneath him. No one would even notice that his hands, which he was holding on to, were turning purple.
"Master Jiu? Master Jiu!"
Yun Si suddenly couldn't hear his breathing anymore. She reached out to touch his face. Except for the wetness in her hands, her breathing seemed to have stopped!
"Master Jiu!"
