Chapter 1166 Escape
She gritted her teeth and refused to let go, "If we want to die, let's die together. If we want to live, let's leave you alone. I can't do it."
It would be better to leave Aqi behind and let her escape alone than to let her die.
How can she survive without Aqi?
It would be better to let her and Aqi die together.
"If we die together, maybe we can reincarnate together in the next life, and then I will marry you." Xia Zihan said, but did not stop. In the blink of an eye, he turned over and entered a yard again.
This family's yard was very large, and they probably had many servants. When she rushed in with Chu Jingqi in her arms, there were three or four maids sweeping the snow on the snowy mountain with brooms.
In the sky, heavy snow is still flying, and the cold wind is still roaring.
"Ah..."
Seeing a stranger climbing over the wall of the courtyard, the maid screamed in fright. Xia Zihan glanced over with a sharp look, and the servants were so frightened that they froze and did not dare to say anything.
"Borrowing the way." Xia Zihan said these two words coldly and passed by several maids. In the blink of an eye, the person disappeared.
The four maids were stunned. After a while, they came to their senses. One of the maids patted her chest and said, "I was scared to death. I disappeared so quickly. Could it be a ghost?"
"Don't scare us, okay? It's broad daylight, there's no ghost anywhere."
"It's already evening, don't ghosts always come out in the evening?"
"Ah...there's a ghost again..."
While several maids were talking in fear, another group of men in black came over the wall. When they saw several maids, they took a look at the footprints on the ground.
However, the snow on the ground has just been swept away, and there are no footprints. Even if there are, they are messy, and there are many footprints that can be ignored.
It was left by a few maids.
A group of men in black looked around and saw that there were no suspicious footprints around. They returned, pointed their swords at several maids, and asked fiercely, "Which direction did those two people go just now?"
"Sir, please forgive me, I went in...that direction."
A maid pointed to the south.
"Chasing..."
A group of men in black gave chase.
The maid's legs softened and she collapsed on the ground.
The other maids looked at her with incomprehensible expressions, "Xiao Xi, why did you lie to them? We didn't even see where those two people went."
Xia Zihan's speed was so fast that the four maids were stunned by her. They didn't even see which direction she flew.
When he came back to his senses, her shadow was gone.
The maid who was paralyzed on the ground said, "Look at those people, they are as ferocious as hungry wolves. If I don't tell you a specific direction, do you think they will let us go?"
Several maids fell silent, and one of them came over, helped her up, and said, "Let's leave quickly. We lied to them. Maybe they will come back soon. Then, we will really be captured." Killed.”
At first glance, those people were not good people. There was blood on the swords, and they had killed people at first glance. They had better hide it from their master and hide.
When a group of men in black left and returned, the maids who were there were gone.
"Chief, what should we do? They escaped." An assassin in black asked their leader. The assassin leader snorted, "Chu Jingqi was injured and poisoned. They definitely won't be able to escape far. They might be hiding in this courtyard. Let's look for them."
They had just chased them in the direction pointed by the maid until they reached the outside of the courtyard wall. Outside the courtyard wall was a thick layer of white snow, and there were no footprints on the ground.
Chu Jingqi didn't go in that direction at all.
Those maids lied to them.
When the assassin leader returned, he wanted to kill the maids. Unexpectedly, they escaped quickly, huh...
A group of men in black secretly searched inside and outside the house without alerting the owner.
And in a room of a house two houses away from this house, Xia Zihan was watching Chu Jingqi shed tears and cried, "Aqi, if you endure it any longer, you must pull out the sword on your back as soon as possible. I will help you pull it out, it will be very painful, you have to bear with it.”
"Okay, pull it out. Don't worry, my husband can bear the pain." Chu Jingqi wanted to smile to comfort Xia Zihan, but his smile was uglier than crying.
The injury on his back was really painful, so painful that he couldn't even laugh.
Also, seeing her nails turning black, even a fool like Chu Jingqi guessed that the sword behind her back had been smeared with poison by the assassin.
Xia Zihan had already discovered this.
She noticed when Chu Jingqi's blood gradually turned from bright red to black.
She tore off Chu Jingqi's clothes and said to the person standing next to her, "Have someone prepare two basins of hot water and clean gauze. Also, there should be some ginseng slices I sent. Please bring two slices. Aqi holds it in his mouth. I’ll send someone to your mother’s place in two days.”
Rong San raised his eyebrows, "What else do you need? Let's finish it in one go."
"That's all. No need for medicine. I have some medicine here, enough for A Qi to use once." Xia Zihan said.
"Well, I'm going to tell people to prepare." Rong San glanced at Chu Jingqi, who gave him a warning look even though he was weak, smiled lightly, and walked out.
"Rong San." Rong San was about to cross the threshold when he was stopped by Xia Zihan, "Don't let anyone know we are here."
"Well, don't worry, you are absolutely safe here."
After receiving Rong San's assurance, Xia Zihan breathed a sigh of relief. The other half breathed a sigh of relief because Chu Jingqi was still hanging because of her injuries and poisoning.
Xia Zihan took out three porcelain bottles from his purse. They were also the only three porcelain bottles. Each porcelain bottle was only as big as two fingers, but they were all filled with medicine. Chu Jingqi could only use it by himself. Enough.
"Aqi, I'm going to protect your heart first, and then help you force the poison into your left hand. The poison can't be detoxified until I develop an antidote pill."
Xia Zihan said, stretched out his hand and touched Chu Jingqi's chest a few times, sealing several vital points. Then, he moved behind him and stared at the hilt of the sword on his back, his heart trembling with fear.
When she was running for her life, she accidentally discovered that the alley was very close to Rong San's family, so she deliberately broke into a few more houses. Sure enough, there were maids who would clear the snow in heavy snow.
The snow on the ground had just been swept away, and there were no footprints left. The group of men in black would have lost the clue to follow her.
It just so happened that that house was not far from Rong San's house. Without hesitation, she took Aqi to the top of the tree, flew over, and entered Rong San's house.
Leap across the trees without leaving a trace.
However, she and Aqi were lucky, and there happened to be a row of willow trees planted next to the alley at the back door of Rong San's house.
