Chapter 352
Perhaps to distract himself, Nalan Jingwen was still in the mood to tease him.
"Anyone who didn't know better would think it wasn't me who was injured, but you."
It would have been better if she hadn't mentioned it, because the moment she did, Pei Yunche's tears flowed even more. He suddenly looked up at her and asked, "Have you been enduring this all these days?"
"Nalan Jingwen, are you afraid?"
Nalan Jingwen choked up, and for some reason, he couldn't say anything.
are you afraid?
To be honest, I'm scared.
She feared that Liu Qishan would wait alone for another hundred years, that Jinse would be displaced, that Nalan Yin would go mad and die with her, and that Chi Chenyi would hate her for not wanting him.
What will they do if I die?
She understood that after this body died, her soul would completely return to its place, but she didn't know how long it would take.
It could be one day, ten days, or it could be another five hundred years.
She couldn't afford the gamble.
So she can't die, at least not now.
Nalan Jingwen stared blankly at Pei Yunche, realizing that he had promised to marry him, but had not yet fulfilled that promise.
Pei Yunche didn't dare to look into her eyes. He lowered his head helplessly to bandage her wound. A tear fell and landed in her palm.
"It's okay, we escaped."
Everything will be alright...
Everything will be fine.
The carriage finally left the city, and Pei Yunche finally felt relieved. However, he knew nothing about medicine and could only apply medicine and bandages. He helped Nalan Jingwen up, carefully fed her water, and then fed her some dry food.
Nalan Jingwen turned his head away, saying, "I'm a little tired."
Pei Yunche could tell that she was preoccupied and didn't want to force her. He carefully helped her lie down, then took a blanket and covered her with it. Watching Nalan Jingwen close her eyes, he couldn't help but whisper, "You don't need to worry about Cheng He. She has a way to leave."
"She came up with the idea to save you, so she'll definitely be alright."
Nalan Jingwen made no movement, quietly closing his eyes.
Pei Yunche said again:
"And there's Hongyun."
“She knew nothing about Rong Hengyu’s plan from beginning to end. After she learned that you were arrested because of Rong Hengyu, she was the first person besides Jingchi to stand up and say she wanted to save you.”
"She said she wanted to atone for Rong Hengyu's sins."
Nalan Jingwen finally reacted, turning to look at him with a dark look in his eyes.
Where is General Pei?
Pei Yunche paused, his fingers gripping the hem of his clothes. "After my mother and sister found out I was coming to rescue you, they locked me in my room and wouldn't let me out. Later, I broke the window and escaped. I threatened to kill myself to force them to let me out."
“I know they participated in this plan because of me; if it weren’t for me, they could have stayed out of it.”
He had refused before, because saving Nalan Jingwen was his own business and he didn't want to implicate them. But they went to Chenghe behind his back, and only after the plan was finalized did he realize that they were also involved.
He was at a loss at that moment. Both sides were people he couldn't let go of, and he couldn't make a choice. But he also understood that his mother and sister were afraid something would happen to him.
Pei Yunche looked up and deliberately showed a relaxed smile, "Don't feel burdened. Mother personally controls most of Fengtian's military force, and Nalan Fengxing doesn't dare to touch her yet."
"Besides, my mother told me that after we leave the city, they will also take advantage of the chaos to leave, so everything will be fine."
Nalan Jingwen stared at him intently without saying a word.
Nalan Fengxing cherishes her throne the most. General Pei, who holds a large army, is a thorn in her side. If she angers him, they might destroy each other. Moreover, she is now on the same side as Yuan.
Nalan Jingwen opened his mouth, about to say something, when the carriage suddenly lurched. Immediately afterward, a sharp whooshing sound pierced the air, and an arrow flashing with a chilling light pierced the roof of the carriage.
"Quick, there they are! Grab them!!"
Pei Yunche's pupils contracted, and he quickly lifted the carriage curtain to look back. Another arrow grazed his cheek and embedded itself deeply in the ground. Behind the carriage, a group of people were chasing closely, their eyes gleaming with ferocity.
Nalan Jingwen's expression instantly turned serious, "Pei Yunche!"
The coachman was so startled by the sudden arrow that he tumbled off the carriage. Pei Yunche disregarded everything else, pulled on the reins, and the horse, startled, immediately sped up. The carriage began to shake violently, and Nalan Jingwen lost control and rolled off the couch. Pei Yunche immediately looked back in alarm.
"How are you?!"
Nalan Jingwen's newly bandaged wounds began to bleed again, and his wounds reopened due to the violent jolting. However, the people behind them continued to pursue relentlessly, as if they would not give up until they caught them. Countless arrows were shot at them, and Pei Yunche had no choice but to speed up the carriage.
"Get out of here right now! They want me! You need to leave!"
If they abandon the car now, he might still be able to leave alive, but if things continue like this, they will both die!
"Nalan Jingwen, you bastard!! You still want to abandon me at a time like this!! Even if I die, I'll die with you!"
The next instant, an arrow pierced the wheel, the carriage overturned violently, and Pei Yunche fell off the carriage uncontrollably, but at the last moment he still managed to protect Nalan Jingwen in his arms with all his might.
The carriage was totaled, and the horses, startled, disappeared without a trace. But the sound of hooves behind them grew closer and closer. Nalan Jingwen looked around and decisively said, "Run into the woods!"
Upon hearing this, Pei Yunche immediately picked up the person and ran into the dense forest.
"Over there! Go after them!!"
Pei Yunche's heart was in his throat. He kept walking, using the darkness and bushes to conceal his figure.
"Get out of the way of those rocks!"
"it is good!"
He held the person in his arms and hid behind the boulder, his chest heaving violently. Then he covered his mouth and nose with his other hand and held his breath. Nalan Jingwen silently leaned against him, listening to the sounds from the other side.
"Where is he? Where did he go?!"
"Split up and search! If you don't catch him, you can forget about having your heads!!"
Pei Yunche didn't expect Nalan Fengxing to discover that Nalan Jingwen was missing so quickly; they hadn't even waited for the people Cheng He had arranged to come and meet them.
Only when the footsteps faded into the distance did he let out a breath, then looked down anxiously to check on Nalan Jingwen, "How are you? Are you injured anywhere?"
Nalan Jingwen shook his head, but suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Pei Yunche's face drained of color instantly. He frantically wiped the blood from her lips, his voice trembling with tears.
"What happened? Where are you hurt?"
Nalan Jingwen swallowed the blood that was rising in his throat again and shook his head gently, "It's alright, let's leave here first."
It's too dark here. The towering ancient trees block out the sun, and not even a sliver of moonlight can penetrate. It's almost impossible to run into someone to meet you, but if you wait here, you're doomed.
"Head southwest."
