Chapter 216
Even if it is a divine horse, if it runs wildly with two people on it, it will run out of strength.

The steed that Mape was sitting on had already started to foam at the mouth, obviously unable to run anymore, but the sound of killing behind him was getting closer and closer.

He looked back and saw that there was dust flying behind him. About six or seven imperial guards had tracked them down and were hotly chasing them.

In normal times, the pursuit of these six or seven people is not a problem at all.Now that he lost his left hand and had to protect his sister, it was impossible for him to stop and fight with her.

When he turned his head, there was a fork in front of him, leading to a town to the left, and a dense forest to the right.

"Brother, turn right." Mei Dai sat in front of him, pointing to the dense forest on the right, "The horse can't run anymore, let's go into the forest and hide temporarily."

"They've already seen us, how do we hide?" Maple asked while pulling the rein, letting the mount run towards the dense forest.

Mei Dai said: "Brother, it is impossible for this group of pursuers to be the only ones. We will lead this group of pursuers into the dense forest and kill them. We can breathe a sigh of relief if the pursuers later cannot see us."

Maple nodded yes.The two entered the forest, and Maple got on his horse and jumped off the horse first.He was reaching out to help Mei Dai, but Mei Dai had already jumped off the horse and said to him:

"The elder brother went to fight, and the younger sister helped behind."

Mei Pu didn't know how she could help her, and was about to ask, when a group of guards behind them had galloped into the forest, charging towards them with their swords raised.Mei Pu had no choice but to quickly draw out his sword, and rushed forward to greet him with his sword.

A guard rushed to the front and slashed at him with a knife.Maple lowered his body, while dodging the opponent's swing, he swung his sword and slashed at the horse's leg.

The horse was in pain, and fell to the ground with a long hiss, throwing the guard on the horse into disgrace, Meipu turned around and rushed to the guard, before the guard got up, he stabbed down with his sword.

When the five guards at the back saw him approaching, one of them was killed. They knew that Mei Pu's sword skills were fierce, but the mount didn't have time to stop, so they simply jumped off the horse and joined the battle group.

At this time, the two sides are fighting to the death, and any words are unnecessary.Lin Nei roared, swords clashed, and screams followed one after another.

Mei Pu swung his sword and beheaded four people in a row, feeling flustered and short of breath, and his arms were sore.

He is suffering from typhoid, although Shen Yuexi's medical treatment does not give immediate results.In addition, since he lost his left hand, he could only swing the sword with one hand. After fighting for a long time, his strength was exhausted.

The last remaining guards were tall and burly, and their knives were different from the others. They were machetes with extremely thick gold backs.This kind of knife is very heavy and cannot be used by people who are not strong.Seeing that Mape was out of breath, he knew that Maple was short of strength, so he held the machete with both hands, raised it high, and chopped down on Maple with his head covered.

Mape wanted to dodge, but the opponent's saber was fierce, so he had to raise his sword to block.

When the swords intersected, there was a "dang" sound.Maple felt his arm go numb, he couldn't hold the sword, and fell to the ground.The guard was overjoyed, took a step forward, and slashed his waist with a knife.

If this knife hit, it would have to be cut in two. Mei Pu had no sword in his hand, so he had to roll backwards and narrowly escaped.

Before he could get up, the guard followed up again, aiming at him who was lying on the ground with the tip of his sharp knife, and was about to stab him.

Seeing that Mei Pu could no longer hide, Fang felt desperate, and there was a "whoosh" sound above his head, and a feathered arrow shot into the guard's eye.The guard swayed twice and fell backwards.

"Brother is all right?" Mei Dai's voice came.

Maple turned over, raised her head with one hand on the ground, and saw that not far away Mei Dai was putting down the longbow in her hand.

"Sister, I'm fine." Maple was surprised and delighted, "You know how to use a bow and arrow?"

His younger sister left Xiliang at the age of 16, and he, as an older brother, didn't even know that his younger sister knew these things.

"Grandpa taught it privately." Mei Dai threw away the bow, and ran over to help Maple, "Brother, now is not the time to gossip. Let's change two horses and get out of here quickly."

Maple lowered her head and said nothing.

The more Grandpa taught Mei Dai, the more he proved his disappointment in his son and grandson.This feeling seemed to be whipping his back like an invisible whip.

Mei Dai led two horses over, and said to Maple, "What is brother thinking?"

Maple whispered in shame: "Sister, Dad and I have achieved nothing, and you have to bear too much."

"Don't say that, brother, you have suffered a lot." Mei Dai handed the rein to his right hand, and gently stroked his empty left sleeve, "Instead, I didn't do anything, just spent all day in the palace. Stay with that man. Now my brother rescued me, and when we return to Xiliang, we will start again."

"Yes, we still have [-] Xiliang troops in Leshan." Mei Pu grabbed the reins, "With the help of my sister, we will definitely be able to restore the prestige of the Mei family."

"That's it, brother," Mei Dai got on the horse, "don't be downcast, everything will be fine."

Mape also got on the horse, grabbed the rein and said, "Sister, thank you for giving me courage. Ever since I got sick, I have always felt that I am a useless piece of shit that can't do anything."

"Who says elder brother can't do anything, didn't you come to save me?" Mei Dai smiled, "If there is no elder brother, I will definitely be ordered to die by Emperor Yongde."

"It's too much to be in the cold palace, why do you want to kill you?"

"He was going to kill me, but I got wise and said I was pregnant with his flesh and blood. In the cold palace, he found three imperial doctors to feel my pulse. I knew I was going to die. I had no idea. Fortunately, my brother helped me." save."

The two galloped out of the woods, Mei Dai was on the left, Mape was on the right, they walked west side by side.

"If you drive day and night, you can return to Leshan in just two days." Maple turned to Mei Dai and said, "It's just that the journey is tough, and my sister may have to suffer a little bit."

Without the chasing soldiers, he spoke a lot more easily.However, Mei Dai didn't answer him, she frowned and looked around.

"What's wrong, sister?" Maple asked.

Mei Dai said anxiously: "It's not right, it's too quiet."

"It's deserted here, so it's naturally quiet," Maple replied disapprovingly, "Let's go quickly."

As soon as the words fell, a sharp whistle sounded from the side of the road.

"Brother!" Mei Dai shouted.

She was already on the alert, and as soon as the whistle blew, she turned over and jumped off the horse, and went to grab Maple's left hand, but she was in vain, only tore off a part of the sleeve, and failed to dismount Maple.

The sound of arrows piercing through the air resounded endlessly.

Before Meipu got off his horse in time, he was hit by several arrows.Mei Dai happened to be sandwiched between two horses, and the arrows all shot on the horse, and she survived.The dead horse fell down and pinned her underneath.

Mei Dai's legs were pinned down by the dead horse and she couldn't break free. She reached out to Mei Pu who was lying on the ground, and shouted: "Brother, brother!"

Meipu was lying on the ground, with four or five arrows shot in his chest and abdomen, and his upper body was already soaked in blood.He slowly turned his head to look at her, and wanted to raise his hand to shake hers, but Fang raised it halfway and then fell down again.Blood dripped continuously from the edge of the metal mask he was wearing.

On both sides of the road, guards with bows and arrows stood up one after another, about 40 to [-] people.

One of the guards walked up to Mei Dai and said: "Concubine Xian, Your Majesty has an order to take the heads of the two of you back to deliver the order. The villain has offended you."

Mei Dai turned a deaf ear to it, but desperately stretched out her hand to reach Maple.

The guard shook his head, raised his knife, aimed at the back of Mei Dai's neck and was about to cut it off, when a feather arrow flew towards his throat.

Not far away there was a sudden sound of hoofbeats, and a cavalry of more than ten people galloped towards them. The leader shouted: "Qiang Lin, the commander of Xirong Qiang, is here. Anyone who dares to fight with me will go forward and die."

The Xirong people were already good at riding and archery, and these hidden guards were carefully selected by the Qianglin. They rode their horses and drew their bows.

These guards didn't expect the Xirong cavalry to appear on the outskirts of the capital, and they were in chaos, thinking it was the Xirong army.Coupled with the fact that the opponent's arrows were so accurate, more than a dozen people were shot down before he could react.

Qiang Lin led the hidden guards to drive away the pursuers, rode his horse to Mei Dai, and jumped off the horse.After seeing Mei Pu who had been shot with several arrows, he knelt down and punched the ground, saying: "It's still a step late."

Several hidden guards lifted the dead horse, Mei Dai crawled to Meipu's side, hugged him and called in a low voice: "Brother."

"Sister, I'm really... useless," Maple's eyes behind the mask gradually dimmed, "At least... I still managed to accomplish one thing."

"Brother, I only want you to live." Mei Dai burst into tears as she lay on Maple's body, "You don't have to do anything, as long as you live...don't abandon me."

"Concubine Xian, he is dead, please mourn." Qiang Lin stood aside with a heavy tone.

Mei Dai raised her head when she heard this, stretched out trembling hands to take off Maple's mask, stared at the face that had become extremely ugly due to illness, stretched out her hands and gently closed those lifeless eyes.

"Concubine Xian, I was sent by King Zhao to help Shizi Mei save you," Qiang Lin said standing beside her, "We are late."

Mei Dai didn't seem to hear his words, she said to herself: "My parents are gone, my brother is gone, in this world... I have nothing... Ha ha."

At the end of her speech, she burst out laughing, startling everyone around her.

Mei Dai jumped up, covered her face with the blood-stained mask with disheveled hair, and said to a hidden guard next to her:

"Your Majesty, do you think I am so beautiful?"

The guard who was questioned by her was taken aback, he waved his hands again and again and said, "Concubine Xian, I am not the emperor."

"Then you are the father, and you have lost a lot of weight...hehe."

Mei Dai put the blood-stained cold mask on her beautiful face full of tears.It looked very strange.

The dark guard who was questioned by her was at a loss and turned to look at Qiang Lin.

Although Qiang Lin had been through battles for a long time, he had never seen such a situation, and he was at a loss for what to do for a while, so he could only say: "Concubine Xian must have been deeply stimulated. Let's escort her and Mei Shizi's corpse back, and see how the master handles this matter. "

Mape is dead, but Mei Dai is still alive.He thinks the best way is to take them back.Let's see how Shen Yuexi handles it.

Mei Dai put on the mask on her own, went to lead a horse, stroked the horse's face and said, "Brother, why did your face become like this? My sister is homesick, take my sister home."

She laughed as she got on the horse, and then she started humming a song.

Qiang Lin and the hidden guards looked at each other, they felt that Concubine Xian was really crazy.
