Let Me Pursue You - Chapter 69

Lu Shiqing was distraught by Yuan Cixian’s desperate move, he really lost his mind, and couldn’t detect the change immediately, and waited until the tip of the knife was three inches away from his heart before subconsciously reaching out to block it.

But when he stretched out his hand, it froze suddenly, and suddenly stopped outside the edge of the blade.

After such a short breath, the dagger pierced into his chest, with a “chi” sound, it penetrated almost every inch of his flesh.

Yuan Cixian only had time to rush to him later, kicked away the assassin who had been forced to stand up under the serious injury, and was shocked and hugged him: “Sir!”

After she finished shouting, she looked at the man in black who had died on the ground in surprise, and then at Lu Shiqing.

After all, the man in black was at the end of his strength, and the last stab was made by will, which was not very powerful. Although he was a step late when he stretched out his hand just now, he still had time to hold the tip of the knife, at worst it would cut his palm.

But why did he go crazy at a critical moment?

Lu Shiqing’s eyes were dizzy for a while, and he subconsciously grasped Yuan Cixian’s wrist, but because he knew that she could not bear the strength of his whole body, he held on and did not fall down, until he vaguely heard a rush of footsteps, and vaguely saw A figure rushed up.

It was Zheng Zhuo who arrived and rushed forward to support him.

Only then did Lu Shiqing let go of his strength, borrowed his arm strength, gritted his teeth and said to him: “Tell her to go…”

At this juncture, he still used Xu Shan’s voice.

Zheng Zhuo knew that he was afraid of being seriously injured and fainted, so he would reveal his identity. He glanced at the dagger stuck in his chest, frowned and said, “I know.” Is the Lord’s carriage nearby?”

Yuan Cixian’s eyes were fixed on the knife on Lu Shiqing’s chest, and he didn’t hear the conversation between the two of them just now. He didn’t come back to his senses until he heard the word “county master”, and asked, “What did you say?”

Zheng Zhuo repeated: “I said the carriage. Mister is seriously injured and cannot be jolted on the horse.”

When she heard the words, she nodded her head like a cat, said “I’ll look for it”, then turned around and ran down the mountain.

After she left, Lu Shiqing was helped by Zheng Zhuo to sit down in front of a rock, staring at the direction where Yuan Cixian left and asked, “The assassin in the mountain…is it clean?”

“It’s clean, don’t worry.” After Zheng Zhuo finished his answer, he carefully tore open a corner of his clothes to avoid pulling the handle of the knife. While inspecting his injury, he said quickly, “It didn’t hurt the vitals, but the position is a bit hanging. It’s too dangerous to draw the knife now, I’m afraid I really have to wait for her to find the carriage, and you hold on for a while.”

He dismissed Yuan Cixian just now to avoid Lu Shiqing’s exposure, but now it seems that the carriage is indeed necessary.

But Lu Shiqing didn’t care about his injury first, blinked his eyes hard to stay awake, and confessed: “Go and see the assassin’s death…” He was referring to the man in black who got violent at the end.

After Zheng Zhuo asked who it was, he hurriedly got up to check, and turned around to answer: “He died of excessive blood loss. Face down, legs straightened, and left hand pressed on the chest.” After he finished speaking, he seemed to feel something, and added, “Put it in exactly the same position as your wound.”

Lu Shiqing coughed and said weakly: “Changed his left hand to press the palm of his right hand…”

Zheng Zhuo hurriedly followed suit, then walked back and said, “What’s going on?”

In fact, he just felt something was wrong. He was a martial artist, so it was obvious that the knife was soft, logically speaking, Lu Shiqing shouldn’t have been tricked.

Before the dagger was pulled out, Lu Shiqing was still able to maintain his sanity, and replied: “Prince Ping is suspicious of me…”

The Jiang family fell too neatly, and King Ping sensed something was wrong, and suspected that “Xu Shan” was not a commoner counselor, but an official hidden in the court.

Today’s group of assassins was sent by King Ping. The primary purpose was to get rid of “Xu Shan”.

The man in black knew that even if he took off the mask of “Xu Shan” in a sneak attack and found out who he was, he would not be able to return to report the news, so he chose to leave obvious wounds on his body. Pretending to use a seemingly ferocious ultimate move is to force a person to react subconsciously when in distress.

But Lu Shiqing came to his senses at the moment, and took a knife from him, and the man in black pressed his chest when he was about to die, showing that he had stabbed the position of “Xu Shan”. Once King Ping sends someone to collect the body and gets this information, it is possible to follow the clues to find Lu Shiqing.

“Xu Shan”‘s role as a counselor was exposed, and even if the Yuan family and Zheng Zhuo were proved to be involved, it was not a desperate situation. Only when his standing in line was exposed, everything that had been lurking for many years and step by step was over.

Fortunately, now, he asked the assassin to leave a fake message.

After hearing this, Zheng Zhuo figured it out, sighed, lifted his mask, saw his face was gray and sweaty, and smiled back: “I don’t want to make her a widow, so I just hold on, your death is a dead body. Fate, Lu Zishu is gone, Xu Congxian is gone too.”

Lu Shiqing snorted, but now he became a little more sober as if he had come back to life: “I can’t die, I have a big temper, and I have a big life.” After speaking, he seemed to want to talk about something that could refresh himself, “hissed” and asked Zheng Zhuo, “Do you think she is too nice to ‘Xu Congxian’?”

Zheng Zhuo glanced at him: “Isn’t it all you? What’s the difference.”

“Of course it’s different…” Lu Shiqing smiled wearily.

He doesn’t have to make life difficult for himself. Rather, he played the role of a teacher, which was completely in accordance with his speech habits, demeanor, and even hobbies, ideals, and ways of thinking. Later, although he distorted the teacher’s image in front of Yuan Cixian several times due to emotion, he really couldn’t tell how much this “Xu Shan” was himself and how much he was the teacher. And Yuan Cixian’s favor for this “Xu Shan” stems from his part or the teacher’s part.

He propped his drowsy eyelids against this annoying question, and he didn’t wake up until he heard a flurry of footsteps, struggling to get the mask.

Of course Zheng Zhuo was one step faster than him, and directly slapped the mask on his face, as if trying to ruin his appearance, which made him almost groan in pain.

It is Yuan Cixian who is back. She was running out of breath, and she arrived before anyone came: “The horse…the carriage is here…”

Zheng Zhuo picked up Lu Shiqing, followed her down the mountain, and put him on the carriage.

The car came so fast, in fact, it still depends on picking branches and emerald greens. After Yuan Cixian rode away on the horse, the two rushed to the nearby post station to get the horse again, and chased all the way here. There is a section of the mountain road going up that is rugged and narrow, and it was originally not big enough for a carriage, so the three masters and servants drove up it desperately.

Knowing that Xu Shan was injured, the two maidservants hurriedly took the utensils that were in the carriage to fetch water and get ready.

Seeing this, Yuan Cixian also wanted to lift the curtain to go in, but was stopped by Zheng Zhuo: “I have to treat the wound of my husband, please ask the county magistrate to **** him on horseback.”

She had no choice but to listen to him and nodded: “Then I will ask Shi Cui to help you.”

Zheng Zhuo was afraid of refusing to make her suspicious, so he nodded in response.

Yuan Cixian ordered Pick Zhi to drive to Chang’an City, while he rode beside him in fear. After a while, he faintly heard a muffled hum from inside the car, followed by many rustling noises.

She pursed her lips tightly without saying a word, and whipped her horse stiffly all the way until Zheng Zhuo’s guards came to meet him.

There is nothing wrong with this decision. Yuan’s carriage must be returned to Yuan Cixian.

Yuan Cixian watched several guards carry Lu Shiqing, who had fainted, into another carriage, and asked Zheng Zhuo who came down from the curtain: “How is it, sir?”

Zheng Zhuo didn’t have time to wipe off the blood on his hands, and said simply: “It’s fine for the time being, the county master can rest assured.”

Yuan Cixian couldn’t say it was easy when he heard the sentence “it’s okay”, he just glanced at his hand and nodded reluctantly.

In terms of relationship, Xu Shan is closer to Zheng Zhuo, so she naturally has no reason to say please. And her concern for the overall situation made it impossible for her to send Xu Shan back to the city to take care of him no matter how anxious she was.

She really can’t do anything, and it’s not suitable for her to do anything.

Zheng Zhuo was worried about Lu Shiqing just now, and didn’t pay attention to Yuan Cixian at all. Only now did he realize that she was covered in blood and blood, and even her clothes were torn in several places. , as soon as there is news, I will send it immediately.”

Yuan Cixian glanced in Lu Shiqing’s direction, nodded and said, “Thank you, Your Highness.” Then he turned and returned to the carriage.

Picking branches drove to the city.

As soon as Yuan Cixian lifted the curtain and went in, he smelled a strong smell of blood, and when he lowered his head again, he was shocked by two basins of shocking blood.

Shi Cui was tidying up inside, when she saw her coming, she hurriedly made a barely clean place for her to sit down, and said: “Little lady is about to leave, just now His Highness drew the knife for Mr., the situation is dangerous, blood splattered everywhere. “

Yuan Cixian gave a “hmm” and sat down woodenly, as if she didn’t care too much about the dirt.

Of course Shi Cui has eyesight, so he hurriedly comforted him: “Don’t worry too much, little lady, His Highness is superb, he managed to stop the bleeding, and now his guards have also brought wound medicine, I think Mr. will be fine. “After that, he took a clean veil and wiped her face.

Yuan Cixian remained motionless and waited on by her, and asked for a while, “Shicui, what can I give you, sir, for treating me like this?”

The action of picking up jade to wipe was stagnant.

How could she not understand what the little lady said. Mr. Xu is such a wise person, the reason why he easily fell into the enemy’s tricks today is actually because caring makes chaos.

She hesitated and said: “Little lady, I know I should persuade you to think about it, but just now…”

Yuan Cixian turned her head and stared at her: “What was it just now?”

“Just after drawing the knife, Mr. fainted and talked nonsense while he was asleep, as if…” She said with a bitter face, “I called you by your full name.”

Yuan Cixian froze when he heard the words, and stared at the blood under his feet without speaking.

What Shi Cui said is indeed the truth. It’s just that Lu Shiqing’s voice was hoarse due to his serious injury, and she couldn’t recognize Lu Shiqing’s sleep talking in a vague breath. With Zheng Zhuo here, the mask was naturally not taken off, and she was not familiar with Lu Shiqing’s body, so she didn’t find any clues when she fought.

Yuan Cixian tossed and tossed all day, and it was dusk after returning to Yuan Mansion, exhausted, after tidying up, she hurriedly ate some food and rested. While lying down, my head was in a mess, and I couldn’t fall asleep no matter what.

The answer she had been reluctant to accept earlier still inevitably crashed into her heart following today’s events: Xu Shan was indeed extraordinary to her.

She used to have a certain amount of admiration for Xu Shan.

The first time she was attracted to him was when she was watching chess that day, when she heard him talk about the fish and shrimp in Xunyang, and his ideals and ambitions, she felt envious and admired. Later, when he came to the Yuan Mansion for a banquet, she lifted his mask in a drunken frenzy, saw his scars, and learned about his life situation, so she felt guilty and pity, and she did not hesitate to expose the scars to comfort him.

Her initial affection for Xu Shan had nothing to do with appearance or age, it seemed that she just felt that she was very compatible with this person’s soul and soul.

Then Xu Sanniang appeared.

The disappointment that Xu Sanniang brought to her made her a little unreal. This kind of admiration was pure appreciation after all, or there was a bit of unsuitable love between men and women in it. So she was on the bank of the Lushui River, looking at the black-covered boats in the middle of the river, feeling extremely embarrassed and guilty.

So after that, she reined in, forcing herself to cut off all thoughts of Xu Shan. And she did. Maybe it’s because this period is not romantic, maybe it’s the scruples about Xu Sanniang, maybe it’s the growing affection for Lu Shiqing, or maybe it’s all three. Finally, seeing Xu Shan again, she is no longer in a mess.

However, the thought that she had finally let go of, came back to her mind now that she knew about Xu Shan’s friendship for her.

She doesn’t want to accept that Xu Shan is a person who sees differences and wants to change, and she doesn’t allow herself to be a chaotic person, but she is indeed in an uncontrollable mess now.

Yuan Cixian lay down for a while, looked at the dark night outside, got up and hurried to Yongxingfang.
