Seeing that Chong Ximo let go, Chu Qiao said sorry in a panic, and moved the clothes in her hand forward. Without seeing clearly whether Chong Ximo was holding it, she picked up the skirt and turned around and ran away, almost running away.
She couldn't stay here anymore. Chong Ximo's increasingly strange behavior made her feel frightened. She was not Li Chunxiang, she was Chu Qiao. If her identity was revealed, she would be dead.
She ran as hard as she could, wishing she could grow wings and fly. This was the fastest and most embarrassing time she had ever run since she grew so big.
Chong Ximo looked at the clothes scattered on the ground, and then at the teeth marks on the back of her hands. It was unimaginable that she just ran away without a trace of nostalgia, giving up a great opportunity that was almost a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in the eyes of others, and even unwilling to
Look back at him one more time.
Obviously his judgment of her was wrong. If she really used scheming, the trick of playing hard to get would have been exhausted. In the end, she chose to run away. No, to be precise, she ran away. How could she be so afraid of him?
Since his judgment was wrong, then why was this woman lying disheveled in the forest? If he had appeared a little later, she would have frozen to death. If that was not her deliberate arrangement, it meant that something unexpected had happened to her.
"Li Chunxiang!"
Chong Ximo's expression was stern, as if he hadn't asked her why she appeared in the forest and why she was disheveled? Thinking of this, Chong Ximo jumped on his horse and chased Chu Qiao in the direction where she ran.
Chu Qiao ran wildly all the way. She was out of breath and her lungs were about to burst. She ran a long way in one breath. She couldn't run anymore. She could only stop and put her hands on her knees and gasp.
With.
"This Chong Ximo, what's going on with him?"
While Chu Qiao was panting, she asked herself in annoyance. She really couldn't figure out what Chong Ximo meant. That guy said things like that in the forest that made her feel embarrassed. They could have broken up after leaving the forest, but he didn't.
Seize her and not let go? With so many people watching, isn't he afraid of rumors? Even if he is not afraid, is Chu Qiao still afraid?
I hope this matter won't spread, otherwise everyone will really think that she seduced the important minister Chong.
Dragging her calm legs, Chu Qiao glanced ahead and walked feebly to the west step by step. It was estimated that it would be noon if she walked back like this.
The road ahead was very long. After running for so long, I could only see the faint shadow of the imperial city. Chu Qiao patted her thigh. She really hoped that she would not be exhausted after going back.
But just as she was dragging her legs and walking like this, not long after she walked, there was a sound of horse hooves trampling the snow behind her.
Hearing this, Chu Qiao's pores stood up. Could it be that Chong Ximo was chasing her?
With an uneasy heart, Chu Qiao looked back and saw a red and black shadow coming from far away. Who else could it be if it wasn't Chong Ximo?
"No way, you're not done yet..."
Chu Qiao bit her lip and looked around nervously, hoping to find a hiding place. When she saw an abandoned dilapidated house, she quickly picked up her skirt and ran over, stepping over the broken rubble.
He carefully hid behind the ruins, then poked his head out, staring at the shadow of the bay-red horse in the distance.
"Chong Ximo, we have already finished. We have passed. It was you who proposed to break off the engagement, not me..."
Chu Qiao muttered quietly, still holding on to the ruined stone slab. Just when she looked outside nervously, suddenly there was the sound of falling stones from behind, as if someone was walking behind her.
Chu Qiao slowly turned her head in horror and looked behind her. Just one look later made her scream loudly in fright.
In front of the broken wall behind her, stood a guy dressed in black and holding a steel knife. He was staring at her and walking towards her step by step. Just after Chu Qiao shouted this voice, he
A knife struck him.
"Help!"
Chu Qiao shouted loudly, then dodged and dodged a knife. The knife struck her, but she did not dodge the stone under her feet.
With a "pop", Chu Qiao fell heavily to the ground. Her waist was hit by a stone, and the pain was unbearable.
Seeing Chu Qiao fall, the man in black didn't seem to be in a hurry to cut off the second knife, but he laughed.
"Li Chunxiang, you are really a beauty. It would be a waste to kill you like this. Why don't you make me happy before you die? Come on!"
After saying that, the man in black took action fiercely and grabbed Chu Qiao's clothes.
"Get away, get out!"
Chu Qiao panicked and grabbed a stone and threw it at the man. The man dodged easily and laughed: "It's quite powerful. I like this."
"Don't, don't come over!"
Chu Qiao wanted to grab something to defend herself, but the man in black had already pounced on her and held down her arm that was groping for stones.
"Don't mess with me, or I'll kill you right now!"
Just when the man caught Chu Qiao's clothes and was about to tear them apart, a cold light suddenly flashed, and there was a scratch. The man in black screamed, and blood spurted out from his arm. It hung on his shoulder, and almost all the flesh was cut off.
.
"ah!"
The man in black threw away the steel knife, covered his arm, and screamed in pain.
Chu Qiao was overjoyed. Someone came to help her.
When Chu Qiao looked back with difficulty, she found Chong Ximo standing in front of the ruins holding a bloody sword, looking coldly at the man in black with a broken arm.
The man in black screamed strangely, as if he knew Chong Ximo. Without saying a word, the man suddenly raised a handful of white powder, turned around and ran away.
Chong Ximo didn't know what kind of powder it was, so he quickly covered his mouth and nose. After the powder fell, he searched around the dilapidated house but couldn't find any trace of the man in black.
Chu Qiao grabbed the ruins and stood up in horror. Her eyes stared blankly at the blood on the ground. She thought of Ye Yunfang's words. Could it be that this was someone sent by Li Zhaoyi? She left the palace and went to the livestock garden, then left the emperor
The city's royal guards and guards were in sight, so this was a perfect opportunity to strike.
Undoubtedly, the man in black had been hiding nearby, waiting for her to return from the livestock farm.
Not finding the man in black, Chong Ximo came back with his sword. He ignored Chu Qiao and leaned over to pick up the steel knife on the ground. There was no writing on the steel knife. This was a knife that could be seen everywhere in the capital.
It's an ordinary steel knife, but it's sharp enough to kill people.
"Who did you offend in the palace?"
Chong Ximo slowly turned around and looked at Chu Qiao. Although it was just an ordinary knife, he had reason to believe that the man in black was sent by the palace to kill Li Chunxiang.
"No, no..."
Chu Qiao lowered her head. Could she tell that it was Li Zhaoyi? Without evidence, it would only cause trouble for Ye Yunfang.
"Maybe he's a lustful person..." Chu Qiao whispered.
