Silent Lover 2 (Tanhua) - Chap 94
Chapter 94 You Are My Luck
“Don’t let Jungou escape!”
Prince Xiao only wanted to kill Jun Qiyu, how could he let him rush out so easily, he had a lot of subordinates, and once he gave an order, an endless stream of elite soldiers immediately surrounded him.
If it weren’t for Jun Qiyu’s amazing strength, no matter how strong her martial arts skills were, she would only die under the sword.
Although Jun Qiyu is fierce, but he is a body of flesh and blood, and when he is finally exhausted, Song Liqing feels that his movements are heavy, and the blood splashed from time to time, sprinkled on this dry land, Song Liqing can’t count Jun Qiyu. How many people did Yu kill?
Qi Miao held a knife in his right hand, supported Old Master Qi with his left hand, and followed behind Jun Qiyu and Song Liqing with difficulty.
They fled to the east, and at last a river lay in front of them.
Although the river is not wide, only four feet wide, but this season the snow melts a lot, the muddy river is like galloping horses, and the turbulent waves are enough to easily drag an elephant into the muddy bottom.
“Yes…it’s a dead end!”
Qi Miao looked at the dark river with waves, and felt desperate. He was originally a civil servant, and it was already the limit to escape here. Elder Qi was even more exhausted, dragging his aging body, hunchbacked and gasping for breath, it was difficult to say a word.
Song Liqing looked up and down, but in the dark night, it was difficult to find another way out.
“This place is…”
“It’s the Deadwood River.”
Jun Qiyu is familiar with the topography of the Western Regions. There are not many rivers in this vast land, so he can guess the approximate location from his memory.
The sound of chasing soldiers shouting to kill is getting closer,
Song Liqing asked anxiously: “Jun Qiyu, where are you going?”
“The water source in the Western Region is rare. There are many herdsmen living along the river. There will always be a bridge for them to cross the Deadwood River. Li Qing, please point me in the direction.”
How did Song Liqing know which direction there is a bridge.
“I don’t know, this…”
Jun Qiyu turned her head slightly and said: “It’s okay, I believe that with you by my side, my luck will never be bad.”
They didn’t have time to stay in place and hesitate, Song Liqing could only choose according to his feelings.
“Downstream.”
“Okay, listen to you.”
Sure enough, Jun Qiyu walked downstream along the river, and Song Liqing looked carefully at the ground, guiding him to avoid obstacles.
“Jun Qiyu, I can’t see clearly…they seem to be catching up.”
Unless it is a full moon day, the Gobi night will always be boundless and dark, and Song Liqing is not familiar with this desert, so it becomes difficult to guide Jun Qiyu.
As the flames of the chasing soldiers approached, Jun Qiyu quickened his pace, but Master Qi stumbled all the way and couldn’t move anymore.
When Song Liqing turned his head, Jun Qiyu also stopped for a while.
“Master Qi…”
“Your Highness… you go first, don’t… worry about me.”
Elder Qi couldn’t catch his breath after saying this in a hoarse voice.
“Father, don’t worry, I won’t abandon you.”
Qi Miao gritted his teeth and simply carried Mr. Qi on his back, barely keeping up with Jun Qiyu’s pace.
“There is a bridge!”
Song Liqing shouted in surprise, cheering up several people.
When I got closer, it wasn’t a bridge, but a Populus euphratica fell in the river.
The Populus euphratica tree is said to be immortal for 3,000 years, it will not fall for 3,000 years after death, and it will not rot for 3,000 years after it falls. This Populus euphratica tree straddles the river, and it is not known whether it was just washed up here, or someone deliberately used it as a bridge. It is half submerged in water, but the trunk is still strong and hard.
“I just said that you are my luck, Li Qing.” Jun Qiyu’s tone was a little more relaxed.
This Populus euphratica is only a few hundred meters away. If you go upstream, you really don’t know how many miles it will take you to find a bridge.
Song Liqing commanded Jun Qiyu to step on the poplar wood, but although the wood is thick, it is a single-plank bridge with a curvature. It shook a few times and almost fell.
Song Liqing was also taken aback, and said fearfully, “Brother Qi Miao, be careful!”
Qi Miao was sweating profusely on his forehead, he took a breath and was about to step on it.
“Miao’er, let me down.”
Elder Qi suddenly spoke.
“Father……”
“Put me down!”
Master Qi gave a stern voice, and Qi Miao had no choice but to put him down.
Elder Qi didn’t leave, he simply sat on the head of the single-plank bridge.
“Let’s go.”
“Father!” Qi Miao knew what he was thinking, and said anxiously, “There is a way of life in front of us, and Jingguo’s territory is close at hand! You can’t give up!”
Elder Qi was extremely calm, and said quietly: “Your Highness and the Crown Princess can’t die here, they are injured and sick, you can help them at any rate, and it is worthwhile for you to abandon your education to become a doctor. What you have learned over the years, But my old bones are just a drag.”
“But as a son of man, how can I leave my father behind?!” Qi Miao said excitedly.
“This is a trade-off!”
Master Qi shouted angrily, and slapped Qi Miao on the face.
“Teacher of heaven and earth, what’s wrong with dying as a king? My Qi family has been wearing hairpin tassels for generations! The family is full of character, are you still afraid of death? Don’t talk anymore!”
Qi Miao moved his mouth, his eyes were red, but he didn’t refute.
Elder Qi softened his heart and stroked his temples.
“Miao’er, our family has been passed down for three generations. You have to go back alive, you know? You have to shoulder more responsibilities in the future, but don’t have to be too heavy. It’s good to be worthy of the world and your heart.”
Qi Miao’s tears rolled down, he nodded heavily, but didn’t say a word.
Jun Qiyu turned around.
“Master Qi.” Jun Qiyu said solemnly, “Qiyu was ignorant in the early years and caused a lot of trouble for your family, but please rest assured that with my Jun Qiyu around for a day, the lintel of the Qi family will not be in trouble. will decay.”
“With His Highness making such a promise, what is there to worry about? Thank you, Your Highness.” Elder Qi waved his hand, “Let’s go quickly, the enemy is about to catch up.”
Jun Qiyu nodded slightly, and then walked to the other end of the single-plank bridge.
Qi Miao didn’t dare to procrastinate any longer, but he had just walked halfway, and Prince Xiao and his pursuers had already climbed over from behind the sand dune and caught up.
“Hahaha, Jun Qiyu, you can really run…”
Prince Xiao also saw that there was only this single-plank bridge on the river, so he immediately ordered to abandon the horses and cross the river to pursue him.
But as soon as he got to the bridge, he found that Mr. Qi was lying on the poplar tree, looking like he was trying to prevent people from crossing the river.
“Hahaha, old man, are you not afraid of death?”
Master Qi let out a snort.
“I am a literati, but literati can also be brave and fearless, and they also have the pride of martyrdom!”
“He is loyal, but if you are loyal, you have to find the right person. This prince is the orthodox royal family in the world.”
Prince Xiao showed a cruel smile, then raised one foot, and stepped directly on Mr. Qi’s body.
“Father!”
Seeing this scene, Qi Miao’s canthus burst into tears.
Although Master Qi was ashamed, he would not let go of Populus euphratica.
“Your Highness! Cut down the bridge! Cut it down!”
Elder Qi shouted loudly, and Prince Xiao’s expression changed upon hearing this.
