Chapter 45 One step late

There seemed to be layers of halo in front of him. Shen Sirong stopped his feet and leaned his back against the stone wall and stopped moving forward. She added some strength in her hand, as if she would fall off the cliff, and the stones under her feet fell one after another while struggling.

A few hours passed quickly.

On the stone wall, Xiao Yuanqi stood in the wind, and his heart sank for a moment. The person who went down had searched three times, but there was nothing.

There was a roaring north wind in his ear, which aroused the trembling of his face, not cold, but chilling.

Lowering his head, Xiao Yuanqi spit out a word between his thin lips: "Find."

He dares not leave easily. If he gives up, will he have no chance to find her again? Xiao Yuanfeng had followed him for a long time and knew that Shen Sirong might have fallen into the abyss. He took the palace guard down crazily.

Xiao Yuanqi wanted to stop him, but let him go. He wanted to say that she would not be below, because she shouldn't. It shouldn't be in a hopeless place.

Standing under his feet was already sore, Xiao Yuanqi squatted down, and the brilliance in his eyes faded, like simple jade, which was thought-provoking.

"Dong..."

There seemed to be a sound under his feet. Xiao Yuanqi listened attentively again but did not respond. His sword eyebrows closed inward, and there was some doubt in his eyes.

No, it can't be a mishearing. He has been practicing martial arts for many years, and his facial features naturally don't need to be ordinary. There is obviously a sound, but it's normal for stones to fall between the cliffs, but somehow he feels that the sound clearly hit his heart.

He held his breath and waited for the next sound. Sure enough, the sound appeared again in a moment. Xiao Yuanqi felt more and more strange. He thought for a moment and looked down to find that it was an inclined stone wall. A thrill poured on the brain, repelling the anxious heart, but bringing more exciting emotions.

Xiao Yuanqi jumped and gently put his toes on the edge of the cliff. He turned over and took on his clothes. He slid down the slanting stone wall and turned around when his body showed a downward trend.

fell on the open space under the stone wall. Xiao Yuanqi didn't expect that there was really a hole under the cliff. He walked forward and stepped on a piece of white rag under his feet. Xiao Yuanqi's eyes enlarged and picked it up. His thumb rubbed it finely on the cloth. The material and color were clearly where the internal affairs were located. Xiao Yuanqi Next Song knew that Shen Sirong had not fallen under the cliff.

"Sirong? Sirong?" This is the first time Xiao Yuanqi called her name like this. He was eager to know if she was safe at this time. He called and looked around.

Shen Sirong's injury has not stopped stopping the bleeding. She can already feel that her hand holding the bar is getting weaker and weaker, and there is already a halo in front of her.

"Sirong? Sirong?"

The urgent and slightly concerned cry gradually became clear. Shen Sirong moaned and wanted to answer, but his closed lips could not open, as if they had been glued together.

The call approached, and then gradually moved away. Shen Sirong didn't know who was calling her, but the man must have saved her. Shen Sirong moved his sore legs and rolled down the cliff with another stone.

Xiao Yuanqi found and shouted in the open space, but there was no reply. Just as he turned to the other direction, the "dong" sound sounded in his ear again.

He stopped and walked along the sound to a cliff. There was another sound on the wall, and Xiao Yuanqi only felt that the sound was like the sound of heaven. He turned over and landed on the narrow road by the cliff.

Not far from him, she sat on a glass-like doll. Her skin was transparent under the light, and her bright red lips had white skin because of thirst, and she looked gray and pale. The blood and dust on her cheeks set off that her skin was whiter and sickly.

Xiao Yuanqi's heart trembled. He jumped up and picked up Shen Sirong with one foot and opened Shen Sirong's fingers. The cold fingers made Xiao Yuanqi hold her hand with some strength and loosen the vine. Shen Sirong stepped back and fell to the flat ground together. It was not until Shen Sirong was flat on the ground that Xiao Yuanqi found a large piece of blood on Shen Sirong's left shoulder, and a touch of blood gushed out of his eyes.

loosening the ribbon in front of Shen Sirong, Xiao Yuanqi untied Shen Sirong's skirt. The white underwear had condensed into a bloody spreading picture. The picture was clearly layered, deep and shallow. Xiao Yuanqi knew that the wound had been cracked many times. Rough fingers scratched Shen Sirong's cheek, and rare pity spread in Xiao Yuanqi's eyes.

"Sirong?"

He pinched Shen Sirong's acupuncture point and then shouted softly.

Shen Sirong felt in a daze that the voice that called her was mellow and gentle. As the idea got closer and closer, the pain under his nose, Shen Sirong frowned, his small nose twisted, and his eyelashes trembled slightly, as if echoed the sound of "Sirong" in his ear. She blinked to adapt her eyes to the light in front of her.

A vague figure was standing beside her, calling her name gently. He looked like a person, but how could that person call her so gently?

"Hmm..." Shen Sirong had some aperture spinning in front of her eyes. She struggled to sit up, but pulled the wound.

"Don't move."

Xiao Yuanqi looked at the restless person. He angrily put Shen Sirong in his arms. Despite Shen Sirong's wide eyes full of disbelief, he tore open Shen Sirong's already torn underwear. The scar reflected in his eyes, and his eyes became more and more angry.

"Why did you come?" Shen Sirong swallowed his saliva and asked. The worry on his face that didn't have time to close made Shen Sirong feel surprised, and then a clear spring entered his heart.

"Where's your girl?" Xiao Yuanqi automatically filtered out this problem and diverted her attention.

Girl?

Shen Sirong came back and knew who he was talking about: "Is it a cold night? He was seriously injured.

"Where are the people?" Just a moment of worry, I forgot that the man's identity could not be preserved after being injured in the cold night. Hearing Shen Sirong change his name, his eyes lowered.

"Away down the stone wall, and then there is a cave." Shen Sirong lost his strength after intermittently speaking. Xiao Yuanqi did not get up to find Han Ye, but took out a small flute from his arms and held Shen Sirong to his chest. His hands jumped flexibly on the flute body, and a short piece of music poured out.

"Don't you go to see the cold night?" A little better, Shen Sirong asked.

Xiao Yuanqi looked at her unhappily: "You look like this and still want others. How can I leave when you are here? My secret guard will arrive soon. Don't worry."

rarely said so many words to Shen Sirong. Shen Sirong looked at Xiao Yuanqi's ear in surprise, which seemed to be very popular.

"It hurts."

Shen Sirong also softened his figure at this moment. Here he is not His Royal Highness, nor is she the crown princess, but just two ordinary people.

Xiao Yuanqi's face was ugly, but his eyes were very soft. He raised Shen Sirong's chin and kissed her gently on her lips. The dry and rough touch made Xiao Yuanqi uncomfortable for a while.

Looking at Shen Sirong's clothes, Xiao Yuanqi untied the black mink cloak on his body, put it on Shen Sirong's body, and wrapped her completely inside.

The body was warm, and it was the same in Shen Sirong's heart. The previous estrangement caused by the blame of the staff seemed insignificant at this moment. She closed her eyes and shut those palace grievances out of her mind.

This is the only time between them except for the night in Fengming Palace.

Soon, several dark guards went down the cliff according to Xiao Yuanqi's instructions and settled in the open space. After making it clear, the two dark guards brought the cold night out of the cave. In the cold night, he was still in a coma and looked very bad. Xiao Yuanqi took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and asked him to drink.

"Close your eyes." Xiao Yuanqi picked up Shen Sirong horizontally and lowered his head to her. Shen Sirong looked up at him and knew that he was going up.

Shen Sirong, who closed his eyes, clung to Xiao Yuanqi's chest, and the wind around him cried.

"All right." As soon as Xiao Yuanqi finished speaking, there were eager footsteps at the other end. Xiao Yuanqi turned his head with the person in his arms in his arms and was facing Xiao Yuanfeng, who was slightly stunned. Shen Sirong only saw Xiao Yuanfeng's eyes wet at the moment he saw her, and his face was full of relief.

"Let me down." I know I'm embarrassed now, but when I get on this cliff, she is the crown princess.

Xiao Yuanqi ignored Shen Sirong's words. He looked at Xiao Yuanfeng coldly and turned his eyes between him and Shen Sirong. Humph, don't you want him to see you in my arms?

He moved Shen Sirong up and smiled. The sun was not as bright as it. Shen Sirong looked at his star eyes and sword eyebrows, and the raised corners of his mouth made a small whirlpool appear on the side of his face.

"Sister-in-law, as long as the royal sister-in-law is sound."

Xiao Yuanfeng did not ignore the deep meaning of Xiao Yuanqi's smile. He restrained his worries and gave a faint greeting. The royal sister-in-law was like thundering, splitting an abyss between him and her, which was obvious and unobtainable.

He is still one step slower, why is he always one step slower...

Shen Sirong saw the undisguised loneliness and pain on Xiao Yuanfeng's face. She hoarse and pulled Xiao Yuanqi's little hand at the skirt of Xiao Yuanqi's clothes: "Go back."

Stepping past Xiao Yuanfeng, Xiao Yuanqi walked out of the dense forest with Shen Sirong in his arms all the way.

Even though she had been prepared for a long time, Shen Sirong stood at the place of the accident and looked at the many bodies on the ground, and she couldn't help softening her feet.

Xiao Yuanqi patted her waist and said nothing. Nothing can relieve Shen Simong's sadness now. These guards died to protect her.

Is it worth exchanging the lives of so many people alone?

"If I die, they don't have to die."

She whispered, and these words fell into Xiao Yuanqi's ear. He roared, "What are you talking about? Your life is their responsibility.

"I'm not worth it..." Shen Sirong turned his face and didn't let everyone see the tears in her eyes.

Xiao Yuanqi lowered his head and said in her ear, "You deserve it."
