Chapter 1155 Gu Jinxiao and Shen Zhinian meet up
Shen Zhinian's voice was firm and unquestionable, carrying the pressure of someone who was in a desperate situation but remained calm: "Their target is me."
"Spread out in three directions: east, west, and north!"
Fuqiu and Handan cried out in shock almost at the same time, the color draining from their faces: "Your Majesty! No!"
Letting them abandon the queen is even more painful than killing them!
"This is an order!"
Shen Zhinian's voice suddenly rose, carrying a harsh tone that brooked no disobedience: "If we gather together, we will all be caught in one fell swoop!"
"go!"
Her eyes were filled with the determination to see through life and death, and her unquestionable majesty choked Fuqiu and Handan's pleas that were on the tip of their tongues.
There was a brief, suffocating silence.
The sound of footsteps and shouts of the pursuers in the distance hit everyone's heart like a heavy hammer.
"My queen... take care!"
Fuqiu gritted her teeth, tears welling in her eyes, but she no longer hesitated and grabbed the still dazed Handan: "Handan, come with me!"
She looked at Shen Zhinian deeply, that look contained thousands of words, then she turned around decisively and rushed towards a pile of messy baggage carts on the east side!
"Miss!"
Handan was dragged by Fuqiu, looking back every few steps, tears welling up in her eyes. Finally, she stomped her feet and followed Fuqiu into the shadows.
Xiao Mingzi and the others also ran in different directions.
"Split up and lead the enemy!"
The Dragon Armor Squadron leader growled and exchanged a death-defying look with his two companions. Like arrows shot from a bow, the three of them lunged towards the west and north, respectively.
At the same time, he deliberately made a loud noise to attract the attention of the pursuers: "Thief! Grandpa is here!"
"Come after your grandpa!"
Sure enough, most of the pursuers were attracted by this sudden separation and provocation. They shouted and split into several groups, chasing wildly in the direction where Fuqiu and several Dragon Armor Army soldiers disappeared!
The chaotic sounds of footsteps and shouts were instantly dispersed.
But there were still seven or eight of the most ferocious and swift figures, like maggots on the tarsal bones, locking onto Shen Zhinian!
They had obviously identified their target and ignored the scattered baits, heading straight to the south where she was.
Two of them even opened the hard bows in their hands!
At this critical moment——
A deep, sharp shout rang out beside Shen Zhinian: "Be careful!"
Gu Jinxiao had caught up with them at some point, and his figure flashed out from behind a collapsed tent.
The hem of his official robe was stained with mud and dark red blood, and was torn in several places, making him look a little disheveled.
However, Gu Jinxiao's expression was unusually solemn. His eyes, which always carried aloofness and indifference, were now like a cold pond reflecting the gleam of a knife, staring intently at the two pursuers with drawn bows!
In his hand was a broken gun stained with blood.
At the moment when the bowstring vibrated and the arrow was released, Gu Jinxiao used all his strength to throw the broken spear in his hand like a spear!
"clang!"
A crisp sound!
The broken gun accurately knocked away an arrow that was shooting towards Shen Zhinian's back.
Although it failed to completely knock down the other one, it did deviate its trajectory. With a "puff" sound, it penetrated deeply into the ground less than half a foot beside Shen Zhinian.
The arrow tail still vibrated hummingly.
This sudden interference saved Shen Zhinian's life, but also completely exposed Gu Jinxiao's position.
The two Dragon Armor Soldiers protecting Shen Zhinian immediately swung their swords to kill the pursuers who shot arrows, and at the same time fought with other pursuers.
"There are helpers! Kill him!"
Someone among the pursuers roared, and several fierce gazes instantly locked onto Gu Jinxiao.
"My lady, let's go!"
Gu Jinxiao didn't even have time to look at Shen Zhinian before he suddenly pushed her, his voice urgent and tense: "Go south! Through the bushes!"
He turned around without hesitation and faced the pursuers.
Young masters of noble families all pay attention to the six arts of a gentleman. Although Gu Jinxiao is a civil official, he is not a weak scholar who can't even tie a chicken.
He had no weapons in his hands and could only rely on his agility to dodge and maneuver among the abandoned baggage and tents.
Trying to buy Shen Zhinian even a moment more time to escape.
Shen Zhinian's eyes were full of surprise. She obviously couldn't imagine that her mortal enemy in her previous life would risk his life to save her in this life.
She took a deep look at the figure standing in the way of the pursuers. Without the slightest hesitation, she turned around and sped up to the limit, rushing towards the withered and yellowed bushes on the south side that Gu Jinxiao pointed to.
The sounds of fighting, roaring, and clashing of metal suddenly broke out behind him, but were quickly thrown away by Shen Zhinian.
The angry roars of the pursuers, like a stretched-out background sound, quickly faded away in the whistling wind.
Dead branches and leaves made a crackling sound underfoot.
The shrubbery was not dense, and the chill of late autumn seeped in through the sparse branches and leaves.
Shen Zhinian's figure blended into the shadows of the forest as he moved swiftly. He was unaware that the edge of his cloak was torn by dead branches.
She heightened all her senses to the extreme, listening carefully and watching in all directions, alert to any ambush that might arise ahead.
I was also listening to the increasingly vague sounds of the battlefield behind me.
Live!
Only by surviving can you settle all this!
The dead branches and leaves made a crackling sound under my feet, and the chill of late autumn penetrated into my bones through the sparse trees.
Shen Zhinian's figure was like a frightened deer in the forest, moving quickly among the withered bushes and rugged rocks. The edge of his cloak was scratched by sharp branches, leaving several cracks and rustling sounds.
The sounds of fighting and roaring behind him seemed to be covered by a thick cloth, becoming vague and distant.
But the footsteps and whistles of the pursuers were getting closer and closer!
"over there!"
"Chase! Don't let her run away!"
"Fire arrows!"
"..."
The fierce shouting and the sound of bowstrings once again tore through the silence of the forest.
Several feather arrows, with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, hit the tree trunks and rocks beside Shen Zhinian, and wood chips and gravel flew everywhere!
Shen Zhinian suddenly turned sideways and fell behind a huge rock. The cold stone surface pressed against her back, bringing a brief sense of safety.
She was breathing rapidly, her eyes scanning the direction she was coming from sharply.
A figure in a crimson official robe swept through the sparse trees like a gust of wind and appeared on the other side of the rock.
It’s Gu Jinxiao!
He was breathing slightly, and there were a few fresh scratches and stains on his official robe. The cuff of his left arm was cut by a sharp weapon, and the dark red color seeping out from inside was faintly visible.
In his hand he held a blood-stained scimitar, which he had evidently taken from one of the pursuers.
There were a few splatters of blood on this handsome face, adding a sense of solemnity.
However, those deep eyes remained calm, like the deep water in a cold pond, without the slightest panic.
"Miss!"
Gu Jinxiao's voice was low and rapid, with a slight breath after running.
He quickly glanced at Shen Zhinian to confirm that she was okay, then his eyes turned to the direction where the pursuers were approaching, his brows furrowed.
