"Chase!" Hu Xiaotian made a prompt decision and chased in the direction of Qiqi with Princess Anping. As soon as they chased a certain distance, it started to rain. The heavy rain poured down from the dark sky, and it became blurry in just a moment.
The surrounding scenery was blurred, and the mountains, rivers and trees in the distance seemed to have disappeared in an instant. The heavy rain continued, as if there were thousands of needles and threads, densely stitching the sky and the earth together.
Hu Xiaotian and Princess Anping soon lost their way. They were worried about getting separated from each other, so they had to slow down their horses. The white horse under Princess Anping had its head lowered, obviously frightened by the sudden storm. On the contrary, it was
Hu Xiaotian's ugly gray horse showed no fear of the wind and rain. At this moment, he held his head high and was full of energy. Hu Xiaotian loudly suggested to Princess Anping: "Why don't we go back first and find more helpers before we look for the little princess...
"His voice was broken by the wind and rain.
Princess Anping shielded her forehead from the wind and rain with one hand. Her whole body was soaked by the rain, and the alluring curves of her delicate body were exposed in the wind and rain. She shook her head vigorously and said: "They... saw that we didn't go back...
I will definitely come here to search...or continue to search...I'm worried that something will happen to Qiqi..."
Hu Xiaotian couldn't resist her and could only obey her will. A ravine appeared in front of him. As soon as Hu Xiaotian raised the reins, the gray horse jumped into the air. Princess Anping followed him and wanted to do the same thing, but she didn't expect that the white horse was frightened by the wind and rain.
, his movements were seriously out of shape, and he actually jumped into the ditch. His right front leg made a crisp cracking sound, and it was unexpectedly broken.
The white horse whined and fell to the ground. Princess Anping's delicate body was thrown off the horse and fell heavily into the mud. Hu Xiaotian hurriedly turned over and dismounted, holding the reins with one hand, for fear that the gray horse would also run away.
, came to Princess Anping and stretched out his hand to her.
Princess Anping's body was covered with mud, and she handed the mud-covered catkins into Hu Xiaotian's hands. She wanted to use Hu Xiaotian's strength to stand up, but she fell hard this time, and she didn't stand up for the first time. Hu Xiaotian
He walked in a little further and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
Princess Anping breathed a sigh of relief and shook her head. She grabbed Hu Xiaotian's hand again and finally stood up successfully. Looking at the white horse that fell to the ground and neighed in pain, it was estimated that it would not be able to stand up and continue moving forward. Hu Xiaotian got on the horse first.
, and then leaned down, hooked his arms around Princess Anping's slender waist and hugged her up.
Princess Anping sat behind him and grabbed his belt with both hands. Hu Xiaotian said: "Can you go back?"
Princess Anping had finally regained her composure. She shook her head and said, "Go find Qiqi. Baima stays here. They will follow after they find out..."
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said loudly: "Hold tight!" He shook the horse's reins and said: "Drive!" The gray horse carried the two of them and continued to run forward. Anping only held Hu Xiaotian's belt at the beginning, but when she
Finding that the speed of the gray horse was getting faster and faster, he had to put his arms around Hu Xiaotian's waist. The wind and rain were coming, but Hu Xiaotian's broad body stood in front of him, shielding Princess Anping a lot.
After running forward for more than five miles, Hu Xiaotian finally discovered fresh horse hoof marks on the muddy grass. He followed the horse hoof marks and searched forward. After walking a few steps, he arrived at the edge of the Royal Racecourse.
There was a wide gap of three feet, but the strong wind blew up the big tree outside the fence. When the tree trunk fell, it crushed part of the fence, and the imprints of the horse's hoofs were directed towards the gap. Hu Xiaotian slowed down his horse, and the hoof prints stopped at the gap.
. He looked to both sides, but there were no traces of horse hoofs. He was hesitating whether to continue moving forward.
Princess Anping said: "Go out and have a look."
Going out would leave the scope of the royal racecourse, which was the reason for Hu Xiaotian's hesitation. Princess Anping was concerned about Qiqi's safety and urged Hu Xiaotian to continue moving forward. The gray horse walked over the fallen fence and soon discovered the horseshoes outside.
The mark stretches forward.
Hu Xiaotian frowned. The frightened black horse actually took Qiqi and escaped from the Royal Racecourse through this gap. He had much more worries than Princess Anping. In his current status, he was just a little eunuch of the Siyuan Bureau.
.This time I was invited by Fan Zongxi again. Although he took Princess Anping away from the racecourse to chase Qiqi, others may not think so and may even doubt his motives.
Princess Anping obviously guessed his concerns and said softly: "Just keep chasing, I will explain it to you later."
Hu Xiaotian could only nodded. The heavy rain showed no sign of abating. In addition, Hu Xiaotian was not familiar with the surrounding environment, so he deliberately slowed down his horse and chased forward for about three miles. A valley mouth appeared in front of him, and the horse's hoofs
The imprint extends all the way into the valley.
Before entering the valley entrance, Hu Xiaotian looked back in the direction of the Hongshan Racecourse. The racecourse was already shrouded in mist and rain, and with his eyes he could not see the outline of the racecourse at all.
The gray horse slowed down its pace. The entrance of the valley was not a flat road, but sloped downwards. The originally rugged path had become muddy. Hu Xiaotian reined in the horse and said to Princess Anping: "We can only walk forward to look for it.
.”
Princess Anping nodded and got off the horse with the help of Hu Xiaotian. Hu Xiaotian then jumped to the ground. He patted the gray horse's buttocks. He wanted to tie the gray horse to a tree, but he was worried that there was someone in the valley.
The beast appeared, and he reached out and touched the long ears of the gray horse and said: "Xiao Hui, if you are willing to wait, just stay here and wait for me. If you don't want to wait, go back and fetch reinforcements first."
The gray horse snorted and seemed to understand what Hu Xiaotian meant.
Hu Xiaotian and Anping continued to search along the path in the valley. The imprints of the horse's hooves disappeared after turning around the rock in front. Princess Anping took a few steps forward, but her feet suddenly slipped. She let out a sweet cry and almost fell away.
She fell down the slope, but fortunately Hu Xiaotian reached out in time to grab her arm.
Hu Xiaotian wiped the rain off his face and looked intently. He saw that there were no traces of horse hooves around, and there was no road more than a foot in front of him. He walked carefully and took a look, but there was a valley within the valley.
Princess Anping followed him to the edge of the slope, looked down, and saw that the valley below was covered with rain and fog. She could not see the scene below clearly, let alone how deep the valley was. Hu Xiaotian shouted: "Qiqi
!” It’s not that he was disrespectful, but that he didn’t want to cause unnecessary trouble.
The sound echoed in the valley, but no one answered for a long time.
Princess Anping couldn't help but become extremely anxious, and said in a trembling voice: "Did Qiqi fall?"
Hu Xiaotian didn't say anything, but judging from the disappearance of the horse's hoof prints here, it was very possible. He said to Princess Anping: "I don't know how deep this valley is. We are not familiar with the terrain. It's raining so hard now, so we can only go back and look for it first."
Let’s talk about the help.”
Princess Anping showed rare stubbornness: "If you want to go back, you can go back by yourself. I will wait here."
Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but have a headache. This was the first time he saw Princess Anping showing such a strong side. The neighing of a gray horse was heard in the distance, as if she was frightened. Hu Xiaotian whispered: "Is someone coming?"
Princess Anping's face also showed joy. She also thought that those people in the racecourse must have followed their horses' hoof prints to find her.
Seven figures appeared on the mountain road behind, and Hu Xiaotian waved to them. However, when the figure became clearer and closer as they got closer, Hu Xiaotian suddenly discovered that the seven people who came were all masked, and one of them had a ferocious look on his face.
Bronze masks, and the remaining six people's faces were covered with black cloth.
An ominous feeling enveloped Hu Xiaotian's heart. Princess Anping also realized that the situation was wrong. Because she was nervous, she subconsciously grabbed Hu Xiaotian's arm. Hu Xiaotian whispered: "Escape!"
Although they knew they should run away, there was no way to retreat behind them. A few feet back was the valley. Hu Xiaotian held Princess Anping's hand and stepped backward step by step, already stepping on the edge of the valley.
The hand of the warrior wearing a bronze mask and wearing a black metal glove had already landed on the handle of the knife. Clang! Cang! Cang... Everyone unsheathed their swords almost at the same time, and dense raindrops slapped on the cold blade, splashing back.
The rising rain and mist weaved into streaks of melancholy sword light.
Hu Xiaotian pursed his lips. Although he had received ten years of inner strength from Quan De'an and learned the Xuan Ming Yin Wind Claw, he did not understand his true strength, let alone face seven warriors at the same time. Even if
But he was confident, and there was Princess Anping by his side. He did not dare to take risks easily without ensuring that Princess Anping was safe. A gust of autumn wind blew by, and the rain and mist in the valley drifted away with the wind. Hu Xiaotian noticed that about five feet below
There, a pine tree poked out of the cliff, and there was a protruding rock where it took root. His hand subconsciously tightened Princess Anping's wrist, and whispered: "Have you seen that tree?
?”
Princess Anping lowered her beautiful eyes and looked. After the autumn wind, the rain and fog at the valley entrance gathered again, and the pine tree instantly became looming. She nodded. But seeing the scene below, Fang couldn't help but feel scared, and looked at Hu Xiaotian again, Hu Xiaotian
He gave her a warm smile, which miraculously melted away the fear in Princess Anping's heart.
The seven warriors had already set up an attack formation, and the attack was imminent. The powerful murderous aura on their bodies spread to the surroundings, and the powerful momentum forced rain and fog to sweep away like waves.
Hu Xiaotian's eyes fell on the face of the warrior in the middle. The ferocious bronze mask almost completely covered the opponent's face. The sinister eyes were projected from the holes in the mask. Although they were about five feet apart, Hu Xiaotian could clearly feel the opponent.
With undisguised murderous intent, he took hold of Princess Anping's wrist, turned around suddenly and jumped down the valley.
