Traveling through ancient times: daily life on the run

Chapter 137 I Jump with You

The leading man in black breathed a sigh of relief. Finding the right person was more important than anything else.

"Why did Baihu rescue you from the city?"

It seems that everyone is curious about this matter.

"If I tell you, will you let me go?"

"The Queen has ordered that Jiang Qiuning be executed immediately upon capture."

Luo Yu sneered, his voice sounding a little desolate.

"Kill me if you want. Why does she want to decide someone's life or death with just a few words?"

"She is the Empress, second only to the emperor and above all others, while you are just a nameless maid."

Lightning waved his hand, asking everyone to raise their bows and arrows.

Luo Yu didn't say anything else. In this dynasty where the strong prey on the weak, it was really too difficult for her, a nameless and insignificant person, to resist this dynasty on her own.

But she didn't want to die, she wanted to try again.

She took a few steps back, thinking that it would be more comfortable to die by jumping off a cliff. With one last look, she looked at Master Murong beside her.

Murong's expression was strange, his handsome face was pale in the moonlight. He stretched out a hand to grab her, as if he didn't want to give up.

"Mr. Murong, I'm so sorry. Get out of here as soon as possible. As long as I die, they won't kill you."

With that, she leaned back and the men in black unleashed a barrage of arrows at her.

Murong leaped over quickly, grabbed her hand with one hand, and used the sword in the other hand to block the flying arrow.

Another arrow pierced Luo Yu's left shoulder, and he bared his teeth and cried out. It really hurt, the kind of pain worse than death, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.

The moment Luo Yu fell off the cliff, Master Murong actually grabbed one of her arms and fell down together.

Countless question marks flashed through Luo Yu's mind. "No, brother, if you keep me alive like this, it would be even more miserable if I were half dead, okay?"

Murong Huaijin couldn't figure out why he pulled her down with him. Was it because of what she said?

Why should she give up her life to leave him a way out? Why should he owe her a life!

She definitely couldn't die. The sword in his hand pierced into the crevice on the cliff, barely slowing down the speed of their falling. A small tree grew on the cliff, and Murong threw her onto the tree with force.

Luo Yu hugged the tree trunk, looked up and then down, thinking, it's over, it's really dead, I can't go up or down.

Murong looked down at the cliff again. It was about twenty feet high. He used the retractable rope on his body and his lightness skills to barely hold on. He just needed to borrow some strength and also had to carry Miss Bai. The difficulty increased a bit and he was not very confident.

"Miss Bai, I'll jump onto the tree later. You have to hold on tight with all four limbs and not let up at all. I'll then use the retractable rope to slowly slide down. You'll have to give it a try."

"Alright, if we're going to act quickly, we'll have to act fast. Those men in black will definitely come down to check if there are any bodies. If not, they'll chase us relentlessly."

Although Luo Yu was moved, he was also really scared. Death was not scary, but living in a state of half-death state was. It was too terrifying to live without being able to take care of oneself and even commit suicide.

Fortunately, Master Murong was a skilled martial artist, and his Qinggong skills were top-notch. With the help of the retractable rope, the two of them finally landed safely. She closed her eyes and hung on him with her whole body. Only when she recovered did she notice a blush on Master Murong's face. She immediately jumped down, her eyes darting around.

Below the cliff is a pile of rocks and a small river.

"We can't go forward or backward, so we can only swim across the river and find a secluded place to hide to be safe."

Luo Yu almost forgot the arrow in his left arm.

Except for the red-stained left sleeve, it seemed to be numb and no longer as painful as before.

If the wound comes into contact with water, it will definitely become infected, so you can't be careless.

Murong rejected her proposal. He couldn't let her make such a life-or-death decision again. He didn't know why, but he felt that she really didn't want to live. Why?

It was obvious that she had been living such a positive and brilliant life all the time. Even though she had assumed someone else's identity, she seemed to have never given up on life.

Now, is it because he found out that he was being hunted by a large number of assassins from the Queen's side that he started to give up on himself?

She can risk her life for others, but is unwilling to live in humiliation herself. The person who can make such a great decision is just an ordinary woman like her.

Even though she was the queen's maid, she had relied on her intelligence to get to where she was today. Why would she give up? He wouldn't let her give up now. He would protect her.

If she could choose to jump off a cliff to save his life, then he could also fight for her.

Luo Yu looked at his heavy expression and said with some reluctance: "Master Murong, have I implicated you? Now it seems that it is not so easy for you to escape. However, if you swim to the other side of the river by yourself, it should be no big problem..."

"Miss Bai, we are already in this together. Don't ask me to leave alone..."

"..."

Only after he left did she think of a way to die, which was better than living half-dead like this.

Her left shoulder was completely weak. If she walked another night, she would surely go into shock and die.

Murong saw that her face was pale and bloodless. Although she was only hit by an arrow in the left shoulder, the arrow penetrated her entire slender shoulder, staining her light blue dress and sleeves with blood, like blood-red peach blossoms blooming in the night.

It must be very painful, right? She pursed her lips all the way, but didn't say a word of pain.

"I'll help you cut off the front half of the arrow shaft. It might be a little painful, so bear with it."

Luo Erren sat on a big rock, biting his bloodless lower lip with his upper lip and nodded.

Sure enough, he quickly used his sword to cut off the section of the arrow shaft in front of the arrow head. She groaned in pain, and fine beads of sweat overflowed from her pale cheeks. Dense tears could not help but flow out. She closed her lips tightly, for fear of crying out in pain again.

Luo Yu used his right hand to take out his bag, but his hand was out of control and he couldn't find the opening.

Master Murong immediately helped her open her backpack and took out a handkerchief. He gently wiped away the sweat and tears on her face.

This girl's smile used to be so cunning and brilliant, but now her eyes looked a little empty as she shed tears.

More like a dead heart?

"Miss Bai, no matter how difficult and painful it was in the past, everything will get better in the future. No matter what, you must survive this time. Madam Bai, Xiaoyi, and Miss Qin are all waiting for you to return."

Luo Yu looked at Master Murong in front of him and knew that he had misunderstood.

Forget it, too lazy to explain.

It's all his fault. He made her life worse than death. Concubine Ying's body is so weak that I don't know if she can survive tonight.

After Murong put away the handkerchief, he squatted down in front of her.

"I'll carry you on my back. If we hurry, we might be able to shake them off. If you feel tired, just lie on my back and take a nap."

"..."

Luo Yu was completely unceremonious, climbing onto his broad back. Since he had chosen to save her life, he had to do it to the end. Otherwise, letting her die miserably would be worse than just dying a good death, right? He owed her this.

Murong carried her on his back. He couldn't imagine that her body was so light. This girl must have suffered a lot.

It’s a pity that she once lived a sunny life.

Luo Yu didn't care what he was thinking. She was very sleepy and weak at the moment. Her wound was too painful and she was bleeding too much. She might as well fall asleep. It would be best if she could wake up and feel like she was back to the previous night, full of energy again. How great!
