After the replacement marriage, I was forced to fight at home

After a long time, Zhou Yu slowly opened his eyes. He felt very dizzy. After a while, he reluctantly sat up and looked himself up and down. There was blood on the root of his right thigh. His pants had been torn. After gently tearing them open, a palm-long cut was revealed. Blood was slowly oozing out, and the flesh near the outside had been turned out.

Zhou Yu endured the pain, pulled off the sleeve of his inner shirt to wrap the wound, then looked at his left leg. Although there were many small wounds, none of them were big and the bleeding had stopped. It should have been because he had scraped against the cliff when he fell down just now.

He looked up. The trees around him were very tall and blocked his view. Some trees above his head were cut into several pieces because he had just fallen down with his horse. Zhou Yu thought to himself, thanks to these trees, he might not be alive now.

There were weeds all around, and Zhou Yu could only see a saddle not far away, but he could not see anything else.

After taking a long time to calm down, Zhou Yu stood up with the help of a tree. Now his vision was much wider. Not far away was the horse he was riding, lying there quietly with blood flowing from its body.

Zhou Yu picked up a branch, leaned on it and slowly walked over. He squatted down and checked the horse's breath. It was already dead.

He sighed, untied the water bag on the horse and drank a few sips. Suddenly, he found a broken rope at the horse's neck. Zhou Yu followed the broken rope and looked at the flying claw buckled at the horse's neck. The flying claw was embedded in the horse's neck.

He suddenly remembered that when the frightened horse rushed towards him, he pulled the horse's head and originally wanted to turn around, but for some reason, his horse suddenly raised its front hoof and turned its head towards the direction of King Rui's carriage.

It turned out that when the frightened horse passed by him, someone had put the flying claw on the reins. Where was the other end of the rope? Could it be that it was tied to the body of the person who frightened the horse?

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu ignored the pain in his legs and looked around. Sure enough, he saw something not far away. He dragged his legs over and saw a horse with a person pressed tightly under it.

Zhou Yu turned around and found that the man's legs were tied tightly to the stirrups, and both the man and the horse were no longer breathing.

Is this the man who was riding the frightened horse? Is this the first time he has seen someone tied to the stirrups? Is he afraid that the horse will go crazy and throw him off?

At the same time, he also saw the same broken rope on the man.

How could Zhou Yu not understand at this point that he was being ambushed?

No, that’s not right. It’s not me, it should be Prince Rui.

When I lost consciousness, I was pulled down by a force. Apparently, it was the flying claw that the man threw on the horse that pulled me down.

What about Prince Rui? Is he alright?

Zhou Yu thought that this incident was probably not aimed at him, but most likely at King Rui. He was thrown out by the horse, and then blocked by the tree. If King Rui also encountered a dark hand, would he be as lucky as him, or like the man on horseback just now?

Zhou Yu didn't dare to think about it anymore. He looked around anxiously, but found nothing unusual.

Looking at the bright light ahead, Zhou Yu walked slowly outside. Sure enough, there were fewer trees in front of him and the vision became better. What made him happy was that he saw King Rui's carriage not far away.

As he got closer, Zhou Yu started to panic. The car had been smashed to pieces, with a lot of blood under the car and a hand sticking out.

Zhou Yu looked at the man who was firmly pressed by the car and tried to move him, but he couldn't do it at all. Instead, the blood on his legs began to seep out again.

Zhou Yu sat down, thought for a while, and then lay down again, pulling hard at the clothes of the person who was pinned down. He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he saw the fabric.

It’s not King Rui, it should be the coachman.

So, where is King Rui? He should be nearby, but he might have been thrown out.

Zhou Yu didn't dare to delay any longer. He stood up again despite the severe pain in his leg, leaning on a branch and looking around until he saw a piece of cloth hanging by a ditch not far away.

After waiting for someone to get closer, Zhou Yu pulled the cloth off the branch, feeling somewhat disappointed and desperate, for this was exactly the clothes that Prince Rui was wearing today.

He looked up and saw the top of the cliff through the shadows of the trees. This side was much higher than the side where he fell, and was very steep.

Zhou Yu looked around. This place was relatively spacious and not a good place to hide. He knew that if it was really the work of King Jing or the Crown Prince, they would definitely send someone down to check. If they found out that he was still alive, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Of course, his own people would come looking for him, but until he could ensure that it was safe enough, he had to find a suitable place to hide himself.

So Zhou Yu walked slowly along the ditch towards the place where he had the accident. The vegetation there was more lush and more suitable for hiding.

There was water in the ditch. Before he had taken a few steps, he found that the water had begun to turn red. He had a guess in his mind and felt a little worried.

He walked while using branches to pull the weeds on both sides. After walking about a hundred steps, he saw a pair of feet. The shoes were gone and there were bloodstains on the socks.

Zhou Yu hurried forward, using all his strength to turn Prince Rui over, gently put his hand on his nose, and then exhaled heavily.

Seeing that the place where Prince Rui was lying was covered with thick moss, Zhou Yu patted his chest with hope.

After calling out to the prince several times to no avail, Zhou Yu turned around and looked at the carriage not far away. He first went back to the carriage and carried all the useful things in the carriage on his back. When he came back, Prince Rui was already frowning and snorting.

"Your Majesty? Wake up..."

Zhou Yu thought that he must wake King Rui up first. Given his current condition, it was impossible for him to get to a safe place.

After Zhou Yu poured water on Prince Rui's face for the third time, Prince Rui finally woke up.

Looking at Zhou Yu's appearance, King Rui was stunned at first, then he looked around and seemed to understand.

I wanted to sit up, but felt a sharp pain in my shoulder. I cried "ouch" and lay back down.

"Your Highness? But your back is injured?"

King Rui paused for a moment and said, "It should be the shoulder. I'm afraid the bone is broken."

Zhou Yu reached out to help him, but King Rui looked at the sleeves of his clothes tied around his legs and waved his hand, "It's okay, I can do it myself."

King Rui turned his body to the other side, slowly sat up, and touched his body again. Although he felt pain all over, he felt that they were probably minor injuries.

Zhou Yu said anxiously, "Your Majesty, we can't stay here for long. Can you insist on walking?"

Seeing that King Rui looked somewhat puzzled, Zhou Yu told him that his horse was pulled down by the frightened horse with a flying melon, "So, we must leave quickly. I think if it was King Jing's arrangement, then he might have controlled the place, and the people who are looking for the prince must have come down as well."

King Rui took the branch Zhou Yu found for him, stood up, and looked around. "Where are we going?"

"Where I fell, the trees are very tall. Let's hide there first. As long as we avoid the search of King Jing or the Crown Prince, the people of the Prince or mine should arrive soon."

"Crown Prince?" Prince Rui went to see Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu nodded, "Yes, before everything became clear, I thought that these two people were suspects."

King Rui did not speak, nor did he ask Zhou Yu to help him. He moved forward step by step. After a while, the two of them came to the frightened horse. Looking at the man with his legs tied tightly to the stirrups, King Rui frowned and looked up at the surrounding environment.

Zhou Yu also looked up and said happily, "Your Highness, there is a hole there. We can cover the entrance a bit and hide for a while."

King Rui also saw the hole and said, "It's quite high, and there's no place to lean on. How can we get up?"

Zhou Yu thought about it, untied the flying claws on the horse, and measured the rope. It was not long enough, and the rope had already broken. He was afraid that it could not support an adult man.

He turned around and looked at the vines next to him, his eyes lit up and he drew out his dagger.

King Rui watched Zhou Yu skillfully weave the vines into ropes, connect several of them together, and finally hang a flying claw on them.

Zhou Yu walked to the bottom of the cave, looked at the gnarled branches of an old tree above, and swung them upwards with all his strength, once, twice...

Zhou Yu felt his arms starting to go numb, and the wound on his leg began to bleed from the force he had just exerted.

"I come."

"Your shoulder is injured and you can't use your strength. Let me try a few more times."

Zhou Yu swung his arms and threw it hard again, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Yu first tied all the things he had just taken out of the car to his body, and then tied the rope to King Rui. "I'll go up first, and then pull you up. You use the hand that can exert strength to hold on to the vine."

King Rui nodded and watched Zhou Yu climb up little by little. Because one of his legs was weak, it took him a long time to hide among the branches.

After a while, Prince Rui felt the vine tremble, "My Lord, hold on tight."

Zhou Yu felt that he had used up all the strength in his life. After pulling King Rui up, he lay down heavily, not wanting to move at all.

After King Rui sat at the entrance of the cave to rest for a while, he first took off the flying claw, and then began to pull the branches next to him to cover the gap where the two people had just come up.

Looking back at the cave, it is not big, only enough for two people, but it is not the rainy season, so the cave is relatively dry. There are feces and food bones left by animals in it.

King Rui thought about cleaning them up, but after thinking it over, he gave up. He scraped a corner, covered it with branches, and sat down.

Zhou Yu also sat up, and King Rui smiled slightly, "I didn't expect you to have this ability."

"I have been naughty since I was a child. I often climb trees to catch birds and go to rivers to catch fish."

"No, I mean you can braid ropes. I see you just put the button together casually, how can it be so strong?"

Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face, "My wife taught me."
