C2410 Princess Qi Was in Danger
However, when Lu Yizha's personal guard helped the middle-aged messenger up, he was already on the verge of death. His face was pale, as if he was going to die at any moment.
When Lu Yizha saw this situation, he could only frown. Then, he ordered his men to continue moving forward. He didn't have time now. He didn't have the mood to check on the other party's condition. If he wanted to check and treat the other party... He could only wait until he was out of here.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Following a series of explosions, the first batch of boulders and logs had already rolled down from the mountain to the bottom of the valley. Because there were many people in the valley, even though they saw the boulders and logs the moment they saw them, they had already started to escape, but they were still unable to escape completely. There were still quite a number of people squeezed into the valley, and the giant rocks and rolling logs carried a thunderous momentum. They rolled towards them.
The boulders and rolling logs were originally very large, but after the mountain's acceleration, when it reached the bottom of the valley, the speed was very fast, and the impact caused by it... It was also very big, and many people were directly smashed to death by the rolling logs. They were crushed to death by the huge rocks. Moreover, many of the huge rocks even crushed many people in a row. Only then did the rolling stop.
The first wave of attacks from the huge rocks and rolling logs had caused a large number of casualties to the escort party below. What was even more terrifying was that this was only the first wave. On the slope, there were countless boulders and rolling logs. They were rolling toward the crowd.
The people below had completely collapsed. They could not wait to have a pair of wings on their back. If that was the case, they would be able to fly away from this place and escape from danger.
Of course, this was impossible. Therefore, they could only suffer in the midst of danger. No one knew if they would die under some huge rock and turn into a meat patty.
In the end, Lin Yu still had some abilities. The first thing he saw when he saw the huge rock and rolling wood was... He had his subordinates of Imperial Guards set up a defensive line and pushed some carriages carrying dowry over. As a simple fortification, he hoped to block the giant rocks and rolling wood. They also knew that they didn't care whether they were going forward or not. They could only choose to defend on the spot. After all, they were in the middle of the team.
However, Lin Yu did not have much confidence in himself. He also did not know if those carriages could stop those boulders and rolling wood. What he could do was to wait until the boulders and rolling wood fell down. He pulled more carriages over to defend.
The truth was still very cruel to Lin Yu and the others. The rolling rocks and logs rolled down from the mountains mercilessly crushed the defense line formed by the carriages. The carriages were like pieces of tofu in front of these boulders and rolling wood. They were so fragile that they could be crushed with a single grab. As for the people hiding behind the carriages... They were also crushed into meat patties by the boulders and rolling wood.
The destructive power of these boulders and rolling wood was too great. The temporary defensive line formed by the carriage was too fragile and easily destroyed.
Therefore, those brave soldiers of the Imperial Guards who were good at fighting were easily slaughtered by those huge rocks and rolling wood.
"Ah!"
At this moment, Princess Qi and Xiao Huan were still in the carriage. They were screaming because of this sudden situation. At this time, it seemed that no one cared about them anymore. Lu Yizha and the others were busy running for their lives while Lin Yu was busy organizing a temporary defense line. Princess Qi and Xiao Huan were naturally ignored. The two girls were at a loss when faced with this situation and did not know what to do. They did not know if they should continue to stay in the carriage. Still have to get out of the wagon.
Just as they didn't know what to do, a huge rock accurately hit a few horses in front of their carriage. The horses were instantly smashed to the ground, and two of them were directly crushed into meat paste. The remaining horses were also smashed to the ground, unable to get up.
And because of the fall of the few horses, it directly caused the carriage that Princess Qi and Xiao Huan rode to flip over. The two of them screamed and fell out of the carriage. They also suffered some injuries. Fortunately, after the carriage flipped over, it formed a natural barrier. Princess Qi and Xiao Huan, who were blocking the arrows coming from the front, laid on the ground behind the carriage. They did not need to worry about being hit by the arrows from the front for the time being.
However, this did not mean that they were absolutely safe. After all, there were people on both sides of the valley. The carriage could only block one direction, but not the other. There would still be arrows coming. Moreover, there might be huge rocks and rolling wood rolling down from both directions. Once there were huge rocks and rolling logs rolling over, the carriage would not be able to protect them at all.
"Princess, Princess, are you alright? Cough cough." Xiao Huan crawled over to Princess Qi and asked. At this moment, she was already covered in dirt and dirt. There was quite a lot of dirt on her face and her left shoulder was even injured. Her shoulder was dislocated but she still went to care about Princess Qi's safety at the first possible moment.
"I, ahem, I'm fine." Princess Qi coughed and said.
However, Princess Qi's condition was also not very good. She had just fallen off the carriage and it made her dizzy. She was still in a daze and her vision was somewhat blurry.
Both of their expressions were not good at this moment. It was as if they were about to cry. After all, they were still girls who were not even twenty years old. They had been living in the palace all along. Since when had they encountered such a thing? So, it was normal to be scared.
However, before the two of them could heave a sigh of relief, another horse was smashed into their carriage. And then... The carriage fell down and directly smashed towards Princess Qi and Xiao Huan. At this moment, the two of them were stunned. They had not completely recovered from their previous panic. When faced with such a situation again, their brains could not react at all.
And once the carriage smashed into the two of them... Then... Even if they didn't die, they would still be heavily injured. More importantly... Once they were suppressed by the carriage, they would have no chance to escape. At that time, the arrow would hit them and the possibility of them being crushed to death by the huge rock... That was very big.
Thinking of this situation, both of them felt despair. They struggled to move away some distance so that they could avoid the carriage that was about to flip over. However, the two of them were dizzy from the fall. They felt pain all over their bodies, and they were frightened too much. As a result, they still hadn't recovered from the fall. They didn't have any strength to move.
Seeing the carriage getting closer and closer, Princess Qi and Xiao Huan's hearts were already in despair. They felt that they were going to die here. However, at the same time of despair, ... There seemed to be a sense of relief in Princess Qi's heart. Originally, marrying into the Fengjue Country was not what she wanted. To her, it could even be said that it was a fate worse than death. If not for the Great Lu Dynasty, she might have already committed suicide.
And now, because of those bandits outside, she was going to die here. Finally, she didn't need to marry into the Fengjue Country, nor did she need to suffer. Furthermore, this wasn't because he wanted to die, but because he was forced to. This way, it wasn't that she didn't want to think about the Great Lu Dynasty. To her, death wasn't that terrifying. It also meant that she could be free.
"Perhaps this is a good result as well" The corner of Princess Qi's mouth even revealed a trace of a smile, as if she had already accepted what was about to happen.
However, at this moment, a figure suddenly rushed to her and Xiao Huan's side. After that, she and Xiao Huan started to drag.
"Coax!"0
Just as Princess Qi and Xiao Huan were dragged away from that place, the carriage also crashed down. Princess Qi and Xiao Huan narrowly avoided it.
"Her Highness the Princess, are you alright?" At this time, Princess Qi who was still in shock heard someone asking her and the person who asked her was the person who pulled her and Xiao Huan away from the carriage.
Princess Qi looked over and was slightly stunned as she said, "So it is you."
The person who saved Princess Qi this time was the lowest ranking officer of Imperial Guards, Sun De, who had helped her a lot that night. If it wasn't for Lu Yizha's help that time, she might have been harmed by Lu Yizha. His reputation would be ruined even though he didn't escape with him in the end. However, he was still very grateful to the other party.
However, during this period of time, Princess Qi didn't take the initiative to contact Sun De. Firstly, because of her identity as a princess, there would be a lot of people watching her no matter what she did. There would be a lot of gossips about going to the lowest level of the Imperial Guards to find an officer.
Besides, after what happened that night, Lu Yizha must have hated the person who helped Princess Qi to death in his heart. Although Princess Qi found an excuse after the incident, it didn't mean that Lu Yizha had already believed it. If Princess Qi took the initiative to look for Sun De, Lu Yizha might have some doubts. At that time, exposing Sun De would be harming him.
Therefore, during this period of time, Princess Qi and Sun De had never met. They didn't know about the other party's situation, but they never thought that the other party would appear in such a situation and save them once again.
"It's a villain." Sun De said.
"Thank you for saving me again." Princess Qi said.
"This is what I should do." Sun De said respectfully. He then looked around and said to Princess Qi and Xiao Huan, "Her Highness the Princess, this place is not safe. Let's quickly leave this place."
Princess Qi also looked around and smiled bitterly, "Where do you think we can escape to?"
Indeed, their current position was very close to the middle and there was a considerable distance to go back. It was definitely not a simple matter to leave this place.
Sun De also understood this situation and his expression was very serious.
