Chapter 70: Chapter 69(2/2)
The light of the torches passing quickly was weak, but it was enough to illuminate the cold light of the weapons in the hands of the people on the mountain.
Xiao Qi immediately recognized the iconic scimitar, unsheathed the long sword and shouted loudly: "There is an assassin, and he is from Beizhai!"
Arrows and crossbows were fired from the mountain, and the guards who had no time to react were shot off their horses. Shifang quickly organized teams to surround Wei Huaien's carriage.
"Extinguish the torches! Protect His Highness!"
The Beizhai warriors shouted and rushed down the rock wall. The enemy was hidden and we were clear. Even if Wei Huai'en and his party immediately threw torches, it was enough for them to confirm the position of Wei Huai'en's carriage.
The moonlight was not perfect, the swords collided with each other, and the two groups of people fought together, screaming and wailing incessantly.
Xiao Qi rushed to Wei Huai'en's car, stabbed the Beidi man closest to her frame with his sword, got into the car and groped for her in the darkness.
"Huaien? I'm Xiao Qi."
Hearing his voice, she put down the dagger in her hand and held his outstretched arm.
"I'm fine. Are there many people outside?"
Xiao Qi breathed a sigh of relief, but did not answer her question. He just quickly took off his soft armor and wrapped it around her body.
"Hide here and don't make a sound. I will protect you."
After saying that, he jumped off the carriage.
The ambush of the Beizhai people was discovered by Xiao Qi, and he had to go head-to-head with the guards from the Princess Mansion who had been trained in the Tiger Guard Camp. However, the forces from Beizhai that had infiltrated the Liang Dynasty were no ordinary people, and it was difficult for both sides to fight.
It's hard to tell apart.
In the chaos, someone's sword frightened Wei Huai'en's horse. With a long neigh, he threw the driver under the car and ran wildly into the darkness.
Xiao Qi grabbed the shaft and climbed onto the carriage. When he was reining in the reins, he heard Shifang shouting in horror:
"There is a cliff ahead! Abandon the car quickly!"
But at the current speed, it was impossible to abandon the car. It was knocked away by several people who were not sure whether they were friends or foes, but it did not slow down.
"Let the horse go!"
Hearing Wei Huai'en's voice, Xiao Qi quickly cut off the nooses of the two crazy horses and protected Wei Huai'en before the carriage rolled over.
The two horses had already fallen to the bottom of the valley. Although the out-of-control carriage had lost speed, it was still tilting down the cliff.
At the last moment, Xiao Qi pushed Wei Huai'en out of the car, but Wei Huai'en held his hand tightly and pressed his whole body on the broken shaft of the car, maintaining a dangerous balance at the end of the cliff.
Xiao Qi understood in an instant that the loose gravel could not support the sliding frame. He pushed Wei Huai'en up the slope with all his strength, regardless of his own precarious situation.
"Wei Huaien! Let go, I tell you to let go!"
He didn't care about dignity or etiquette, and even called Wei Huai'en by name and loudly ordered her to let go.
"No! Xiao Qi, don't let go!"
She was brought to the edge of the cliff by the sliding gravel, and the broken wood stubble pricked her arm. She knew that she would be safe as long as she let go, but she wanted to save him irrationally.
"Wei Huaien!"
He almost yelled at her angrily, completely unable to understand why she, who was always calm, could not see the choice clearly at this time.
How could she die in this wilderness with him? She had to live!
The unsupportable frame issued a final warning, so he simply took out the dagger from his waist and stabbed it into the wrist joint without hesitation.
Wei Huai'en saw his determination and immediately let go of his hand. The dagger pierced the air, the carriage slid down, and he gave up calmly.
But when the car frame completely slid into darkness, she resolutely jumped into the car again, hugging him and falling to the bottom of the cliff together.
"well……"
In the weightlessness, he struggled to protect her on him, and when the frame rolled and fell apart, throwing them deeper into the valley, he used himself to cushion her.
whatever.
He is always going to die.
I just don’t know if his Wynn can survive.
He didn't want her to die beside him.
Li Kong clearly saw the chaos in this place, and after seeing Wei Huaien and Xiao Qi fall into the valley together, he ordered the Xuanyu guards to go down the mountain and kill all the people in Beizhai.
It was too late for Shifang to save even one person alive.
"Who among you is walking with the Beidi people in the middle of the night? Take them all away and interrogate them carefully."
Li Kong gave an order, and Xuanyu Guards surrounded the remaining guards.
"Who dares? I am the bodyguard commander of Princess Jiarou's palace in Shifang. Your Highness was assassinated. Why don't you just let us go to find His Highness!"
Shifang was stabbed in the side and showed his waist card with difficulty.
"Is that what you said? How could His Majesty, who is so noble and noble, turn off the lights and sneak around at night? Stop making excuses. When we get to Xuanyu Division, we will definitely clear your name."
Li Kong made up his mind that he did not want them to rescue Wei Huai'en, and the people he brought were all Xuanyu guards from the Yizi camp who had nothing to do with the Huwei camp.
Shifang and others were expertly gagged by the outnumbered Xuanyu Guards and led down the mountain. The remaining Xuanyu Guards followed Li Kong's instructions to clean up the battlefield.
"Feel sorry."
Li Kong looked at the bottom of the cliff and whispered.
They're fine! I swear!
