The princess only wants to survive, and the cold-faced king of hell begs for mercy

"Palace Yuye Liquor?"

Zhao Qiyan curled the corners of his mouth. Fortunately, this sentence was included in the quotations of time travelers he collected.

"One hundred and eighty cups."

"How's the wine?"

……

Zhao Qiyan was silent, and there was no second sentence in the quotation record.

He was just about to answer that he didn't remember, when suddenly, a confident voice came from outside the door, "Listen to me blow it for you."

“It’s actually Erguotou mixed with boiled water.”

The young man turned around and saw a man and a woman riding a horse together, parked at the door.

"Zhuo Fang? Holy shit, you escaped?"

"Where did this beauty come from? Did you kidnap her?"

Zhuo Fang smiled and said, "You guys can do it. Even without me, you still managed to take over the iron mine, right?"

"Zheng Yuanzhu, you don't need me anymore, right? Then I'll go sightseeing with my beautiful lady."

Zheng Yuanzhu pulled Zhuo Fang off his horse and said in a familiar tone, "You wishful thinking. When you were not around, they exploited me. Now that you are back, hurry up and get to work."

The two chatted and laughed, like good friends. Yun Shang sat on the horse, pulling the reins, shaking vigorously. "Um, Mr. Zhuo, could you please let me down first? I don't know how to ride a horse. What if it runs away?"

Zhuo Fang hurriedly turned around and helped her get off the horse. The two of them were very intimate. Zhao Qiyan, who was trapped in the house, narrowed his eyes slightly.

Zhuo Fang turned around and punched Zheng Yuanzhu, saying sternly, "Honestly, I've been held captive by the King of Qi for so long. Even if I come back now, they won't trust me anymore, let alone use me."

"We are all good brothers. I am here today just to take someone back. Please help me this time. After I take the person away, I will immediately leave Tongshan and disappear without a trace."

Zheng Yuanzhu looked at Zhuo Fang for a long time, then sighed, "That's right. If you can run, run fast. They might come to identify you in person later, and you won't be able to escape."

"Recognize someone? Recognize who?"

"The King of Qi's men, or possibly the King of Qi himself, I just received news that the King of Qi brought some people to Tongshan secretly. A secret order has been sent from above. I don't know the specifics. I was just sent here to screen them."

With the help of Zheng Yuanzhu, Yun Shang and Zhuo Fang quickly brought Zhao Qiyan and Qi Chuan out. "These two people are my friends."

Zheng Yuanzhu looked them up and down, and finally said nothing, "Alright, if you want to leave, leave quickly."

Zhuo Fang asked Zhao Qiyan to mount his horse and take Yun Shang away first. He turned back to thank Zheng Yuanzhu, "Thank you, brother. I will come back to save you when I have the chance."

Under the cover of night, four figures riding two horses galloped along the winding path like the wind.

Zhao Qiyan sat steadily on the horse, and the person he held tightly in his arms was Yun Shang.

At this moment, Yun Shang was like a frightened deer, holding Zhao Qiyan's body tightly with both hands, as if she was afraid that she would fall off the horse if she let go.

Zhao Qiyan only wanted to take everyone away from this place as quickly as possible, and had no time to ask Yun Shang why she and Zhuo Fang came here together.

However, when he realized that the person in his arms was almost fainting due to the bumpy ride, he couldn't help but feel a trace of pity in his heart.

So, he slowed the horse's pace slightly and whispered soothingly, "Don't be afraid. I'm here and will never let you fall. Try to relax a little, follow the horse's rhythm, and adjust your center of gravity as it bumps and rises. This may alleviate some of the discomfort."

Yun Shang only felt that her thighs had become numb and she had completely lost consciousness.

Even so, when she keenly sensed that her speed had slowed down, she quickly shook her head and said, "Your Highness, don't worry about me. The situation is critical right now, and we should leave here as soon as possible!"

As soon as the words left their mouths, a deafening, chaotic, and rapidly approaching sound of horse hooves filled the night sky, rolling in from behind them.

"They are ahead, catch up with them."

"King Cheng has ordered, kill!"

Zhuo Fang and Qi Chuan rode on the same horse. Zhuo Fang had a sad face and said, "If I had known I wouldn't have run away with you guys, I wouldn't have died."

Qi Chuan squeezed his horse's belly and sped up. "Aren't you going to die and start over? Isn't this just right?"

Zhuo Fang asked back angrily, "If I die, maybe I can start over, but what about you? If you die, you're really dead."

"It is my duty to protect the prince. Dying for the prince is a worthy death."

They sped along the mountain road, with an almost vertical mountain on one side, a steep cliff on the other, and a surging river below.

A group of people were chasing each other on horseback on the mountain road. Zhao Qiyan looked at the increasingly narrow mountain road ahead, and felt a chill in his heart.

He lowered his head and looked at Yun Shang in his arms, "Are you afraid of death?"

Yun Shang nodded, "Afraid."

Then he shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid of death, I'm afraid of pain."

It’s not like I haven’t died before.

Zhao Qiyan sighed, "I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble."

"Yun Shang, if we can't escape, we will all die here. I'll ask you one last time, are you a time traveler?"

Even when he was about to die, he still wanted to hear Yun Shang confess to him.

Yun Shang had been held in Zhao Qiyan's arms. When she heard him ask this, she realized that they had been caught up.

Not far behind them, the group of vicious pursuers had already pulled their bowstrings to the fullest, and the icy, flashing arrows were pointing straight at Zhao Qiyan's broad back, as if they were going to pierce through his body in the next second.

Yun Shang looked at the scene in horror, her heart burning with anxiety. She wanted to shout loudly to remind Zhao Qi Yan to be careful behind him, but everything happened too fast and too suddenly. Before she could open her mouth, she heard a sharp "whoosh" sound of breaking through the air, and a long and thick arrow came rushing like lightning, and instantly pierced through Zhao Qi Yan's left shoulder!

In an instant, scarlet blood gushed out like a fountain, splashing in the air to form a shocking blood mist.

Zhao Qiyan felt a sharp pain and couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

He endured the pain and turned his head, his eyes quickly sweeping across the rushing river before him. Then, with the last bit of clarity he had, he looked at Yun Shang, whose face was covered in tears, and asked with difficulty, "Yun Shang... can you swim?"

Yun Shang was already sobbing uncontrollably. She shook her head desperately and said in a trembling voice, "I... I can't swim. Zhao Qiyan, please don't die. Nothing can happen to you!"

After saying that, she hugged Zhao Qiyan even tighter, as if she wanted to use her weak body to protect him from more harm.

However, the intense pain caused by the hideous wound on his shoulder was constantly eroding Zhao Qiyan's mind, making his consciousness increasingly blurred.

When he completely fainted, he seemed to hear Yun Shang say something in his ear.

"Zhao Qiyan, it's me."
