There were tears in Tan Siwei's eyes. His eyes, which were always smiling, were full of shame and embarrassment. "I'm sorry … I, I didn't know it was you who came out. I'm really sorry … I'll help you up …"
The moment he reached out his hands, Ning Shu grabbed a handful of cotton from the broken pillow next to her and sprinkled it in his eyes. Tan Siwei was caught off guard and subconsciously covered his eyes.
Ning Shu took the opportunity to slip out of Xiahou Qing's arms and floated to him like a snake. She put the broken iron piece in her palm on his neck and said coldly, "This is a remote place. You shouldn't have walked here. Moreover, this place is connected to the ancestral grave of the Xue family. You won't show your face in public in order to hide your identity. Carry Xiahou Heir on your back to your carriage and send us to Prince Nanping's Mansion immediately! Along the way, the copper piece in my hand will always be in front of your neck. If you dare to have a trace of disloyalty or delay, don't blame me for disregarding our friendship and beheading you! Tan Siwei, I mean what I say! "
The thin iron piece mercilessly drew a line of blood on his neck. Tan Siwei never thought that Ning Shu, who had always been gentle with him, would have such a ruthless side. He also didn't expect that they would come to this point.
He was forced to raise his head and be controlled by her. He lowered his eyes and looked at her bitterly. "Don't worry. I'll do whatever you ask me to do. I won't act rashly. Lower the iron piece. I'm going to bend down and carry Xiahou Heir on my back."
Ning Shu's red eyes stared at him without blinking. She watched him carry Xiahou Qing on his back and then leave the deserted hut step by step. He boarded the carriage and then ordered the driver to put Xiahou Qing down carefully.
The driver was scared out of his wits. Just as he was about to loyally save his master, Tan Siwei closed his eyes and shook his head gently at him, motioning him to quickly get the carriage.
Along the way, the four of them didn't speak.
Ning Shu held the thin piece of metal in one hand and pressed it against Tan Siwei's neck, not leaving it for an instant. She also diverted some of her attention to use her teary red eyes to pay close attention to the completely unconscious Xiahou Qing lying on her lap.
She looked at the person she had painstakingly pulled back from the gates of hell not long ago. That weak life force once again poured out from his body. She desperately screamed in her heart, begging him to hold on a little longer. Just two more hours, no, half an hour would be enough! She had countless words that she wanted to shout out, but when they reached her throat, it was as if she had lost her tongue and could not utter a single word.
All she could do was desperately use her hands to cover the bloody hole couldn't be blocked.
How could there be so much blood in a person's body? Xiahou Qing, could it be that you were made by the River of Forgetfulness? I order you to stop, stop bleeding. I beg you to stop …
Her previous calmness and indifference were all thrown out of the window. She once again cut the metal piece into Tan Siwei's flesh. Like a madwoman, she shouted at the coachman outside, "If you want your master to live, you better go faster! I want this horse to run faster than anything else! "
So fast that it could catch up to his flowing life.
Hearing Tan Siwei's pained cry, the driver's heart tightened. He quickly swung the horse whip hard. The horse let out a neigh and dropped its hooves even faster.
Perhaps a long time had passed, or perhaps it had only been a cup of tea in a teahouse, or half a play in a storyteller's story, but the horse pulled the wheel like it was flying over the hottest sun of early summer and the busiest street in Jingdou. Under the shocked and curious gazes of bystanders, it finally stopped and fell with a boom in front of the gate of the Prince of Nanping's fu.
