princess come to my arms

Chapter 40 Secret Tenderness

"Huh?" At the same time the rag was lifted, a strange voice came from the man in black's throat.He frowned, looking extraordinarily confused.

"I was tricked by her!" Seeing that there was no one in the gap, the ax held by the man in black sank, then turned his toes outward, and ran towards the back, leaving a "da" in the empty secret road. Da da" running sound.

The sound of thick and powerful running gradually faded away.Behind the gap, one hand tightly covered Gu Zixuan's mouth, otherwise she would make a sound, and when she realized that the danger was far away, that hand slowly relaxed.

Gu Zixuan was still in shock, all this was too difficult and dangerous.She thought she had no hope of survival, but at that critical moment, someone covered her mouth.A strong hand wrapped around his waist from behind, and dragged his body behind the crack, and there was a hole in it.

But this man...

Gu Zixuan's eyelids blinked in a panic, his eyeballs swayed from side to side, feeling very uneasy.

The hand on her mouth slowly dropped to her side.The familiar fragrance wafted from the person behind him, and Gu Zixuan expressed his guess in his heart with trembling lips: "... my lord... my lord"

The person behind him paused, and did not let go of his arms around Gu Zixuan's body, and replied softly, "It's me."

Gu Zixuan's whole body couldn't help shaking, she turned around, crossed Li Yuqi's shoulders with both hands, and hugged her.She buried her head on Li Yuqi's shoulder and sobbed softly.She thought her death was a certainty, but unexpectedly, her prince saved her again.

Even though his heart was filled with countless puzzles and perplexities, Li Yuqi's mind settled down at this moment.Nothing is more important than the princess being safe and sound.She raised her head slightly and put it close to Gu Ziqi's face, hugging her arms tightly, stroking the back of Gu Ziqi's neck with her palm.

Softly comforting: "It's okay, it's okay."

In the darkness, Li Yuqi's comforting voice calmed down the uneasiness in Gu Zixuan's heart, and she gradually calmed down.For a moment, all kinds of panic flooded in. How could Zun Wang suddenly appear in this secret way? It's impossible...she...didn't drink her own medicine?

Just as she was about to cross-examine her, Li Yuqi's hand accidentally touched the wound on her shoulder, Gu Ziqi gasped, "Hiss—"

"What? Are you injured, princess?" Li Yuqi hurriedly let go of her hand and asked very nervously.

Gu Zixuan nodded, and said frankly: "I was injured by the man in black. I am too different from him in strength, and I am not his opponent at all."

"Is it badly hurt?" Li Yuqi asked hastily.

"It's not serious, just take some medicine after you go back."

"Then there are other wounds?" Li Yuqi then asked.

"...and elbows and knees... I accidentally fell while running just now, scraped debris on the ground, and bled a little."

"No, I have to get some medicine quickly." Li Yuqi couldn't calm down when he heard Gu Zixuan said that he had suffered several injuries.She quickly took out the fire pocket from her bosom to check on Gu Zixuan's injury.

"My lord...don't worry...my concubine..."

"No." Li Yuqi sternly said, "I know you will carry the medicine to stop the bleeding and heal the wound with you, so quickly take it out to me."

The firelight illuminated this small place.Gu Zixuan looked at Li Yuqi, and saw some displeasure and seriousness in her eyes.She was stunned for a moment, and she found that the king in front of her seemed to be different from before...

"The wound is going to scab, and if you don't treat it, it will leave a scar." Li Yuqi grabbed Gu Ziqi's left wrist, lowered his head, and picked up the stains and debris on the surface of the wound with distress.

Gu Zixuan reached into his arms with his right hand, took out several medicine bottles, and handed them to the king.

"Which one is sterilized?" Li Yuqi put Gu Zixuan's injured elbow on his knee and asked.

"This." Gu Zixuan pinched a light green vial with his thumb and forefinger, and handed it forward.

Li Yuqi took it, opened the bottle cap, carefully poured the liquid in the bottle onto the wound, and then gently applied it with his index finger.

The cool and stimulating disinfectant leaves a tingling sensation when it flows through the wound.But Gu Zixuan didn't realize it, she stared blankly at Li Yuqi's careful application of the medicine, immersed in her tenderness.

In the small space, with a faint yellow light, one is applying the medicine seriously, and the other is watching the other person taking the medicine seriously.The two looked at each other silently, but warmly.

It's just that they were too selfless and ignored the danger that came quietly.

After chasing the man in black dozens of meters away, he still couldn't find Gu Zixuan. He stopped slowly and began to think about what went wrong.

Crack!It's the gap!

His intuition told him that the person was hiding in the crack just now, in that messy place, but he didn't know how she avoided his search.

He decided to go back and look it up again!

When returning, he took his steps lightly.When he stepped into the utility room and saw the messy ground illuminated by the night pearl, he twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled.

The luminous light emitted by the night pearl is light green, revealing a pale white.But in a slightly invisible gap, there is a different orange light.

Obviously, someone is hiding inside and hasn't left yet!

The man in black crossed his hands to hold the axe, and walked towards the crack step by step, lightly.

Do not disturb the prey!A ferocious and terrifying smile appeared on the face of the man in black, and the closer he got to the crack, the more excited his expression became.

This time he will not let her escape.

The man in black slowly raised the ax in his hand and raised it above his head.Just as he was about to cut down the crack, his right foot accidentally stepped on a dead branch.The dead branches are fragile, and the interior has been eaten away by decaying insects. When you step on it, it will make a crisp sound.

It was this sound that reminded the two people in the crack.

"That person is back!" Li Yuqi, who was facing the gap, saw the looming figure.She hurriedly grabbed Gu Ziqi's arm, pulled her up, and dragged her backward.

The duck that had already reached its beak flew away, and the man in black was furious. He rushed towards the crack, thrust his ax into it, and slashed wildly.

But the gap was too small, so the ax stuck in and swung its teeth and claws, but the person was stuck outside, unable to move.

Li Yuqi took Gu Zixuan's hand and went to the secret door behind him.

"There are actually two people who found the secret door!" The man in black roared angrily, pulled himself out, and ran towards the exit of the utility room.

This secret passage is not too big, he believes that if he turns a few more turns, he will be able to catch the two of them!

Li Yuqi pulled Gu Zixuan and ran towards the dead end of the secret road. She remembered that on the map, the place marked as a triangle had a mechanism that fired back arrows.

Gu Zixuan was dragged forward by Li Yuqi.When she found that Li Yuqi ran to the dead end she came to earlier, she held Li Yuqi's arm tightly, and hurriedly stopped, "This is a dead end!"

"I know, but there is a life-saving mechanism here! Believe me!" Li Yuqi took Gu Zixuan's wrist again, and continued to run forward. She had to race against time.There is a mechanism there, but she must find the exact location to activate the mechanism before the man in black arrives.This will ensure their safety.

Footsteps!The man in black clearly heard the sound of running not far away.He stopped his steps and carefully identified the direction.

over there!After determining the direction, he gripped the ax tightly and started to run in big strides.

At this moment, Gu Zixuan and Li Yuqi came to the tall stone wall, on which there were still traces of the man in black chopping the ax vigorously.

Li Yuqi let go of Gu Zixuan's hand, and pressed his hands against the cold stone wall, looking for the switch.

"...the third from the left, the fourth from the top, the fifth from the right...here!" Li Yuqi's fingertips touched the raised and loose stones, and he immediately called Gu Zixuan to look.

"Later, I will fight the man in black. If I lose to him, you can activate the switch." The footsteps of the man in black slowly came to the secret room on the right, and Li Yuqi quickly explained to Gu Zixuan.

"Look, in this secret room, there is only the night pearl in the middle, where the arrow eruption mechanism is hidden. There are no front and back of the secret room, so it is safe. If I lose to him, I will retreat to the dark place behind, and you can activate the switch .”

"Okay." In this critical moment, Li Yuqi was calm, alert and wise, which gave Gu Zixuan a trustworthy sense of security.She chooses to trust her with all her heart.

The footsteps stopped abruptly at the door, and a tall figure appeared at the door of the secret room.

Li Yuqi took Gu Zixuan's hand and put it on the switch.She pulled out the saber by herself, pulled the sword out of the scabbard, and came to the middle of the secret room. The faint light of the Ye Mingzhu hit her body.Looking sideways, one can vaguely see some holes in the wall, and the arrows inside are ready to go, waiting for the prey in front to enter the trap step by step.

From Li Yuqi's point of view, she didn't want to use that switch.She hoped to capture this person alive with her own power, so that she could torture him severely and get more clues about Concubine Shu.

Not able to think too much, the man in black roared, raised his axe, and charged straight at Li Yuqi.Li Yuqi set his pace, lowered his body, and his eyes were sharp, ready to attack his foot.

Behind her, Gu Zixuan's heart rose to his throat.

When two people fight, the outcome is often within milliseconds.She wanted to keep the king safe, but also let the thieves fall into the trap.It is not easy to implement.Moreover, the two of them only have one chance. If they miss this time, the thief will take precautions when he finds out the hidden room.It becomes even more difficult to defeat him.

Never miss it!Gu Zixuan concentrated his attention and fixed his eyes on the two of them.

The man in black approached and slashed at Li Yuqi's head.Li Yuqi leaned back to dodge, twisted his waist, danced the hilt in his hand, and stabbed towards the lower body of the man in black.

The man in black jumped back and dodged.Li Yuqi quickly followed up with the second sword, jumped forward, and rushed forward. The man in black was unprepared, and the tip of the sword slid across his knees, leaving bloodstains.

"Damn it!" The martial arts of the person in front of him is not bad, so don't take it lightly!The man in black began to fight back, using moves instead of aimlessly hacking and slashing.

Swords and swords flickered in the empty secret room.
