Chapter 1965: Chapter 979: Husband and Wife in Unison (Xinyang vs. Xiao Ji Special)
Xiao Ji endured the pain, breaking out in cold sweat as he said, “You can forget about… coveting this marquis’s body…”
He used a dagger to cut off a piece of the hem, using the dagger as a splint to immobilize his fractured left forearm, finally biting the cloth strip to tie a knot.
He didn’t sling his left arm around his neck.
He found it unsightly.
He leaned against the stone wall to catch his breath, suppressing the weakness and intense pain throughout his body, and said, “Alright.”
Princess Xinyang turned around and reached out in the darkness to support his arm. “It seems like there’s a passage ahead. I’ll go check if we can get out. Wait here for me.”
“Let’s go together,” he said weakly.
“Can you handle it?” Princess Xinyang doubted his physical condition.
Xiao Ji summoned up his male pride to fill the gap in strength: “Qin Fengwan, hasn’t anyone told you not to say a man can’t do it? Besides, didn’t you personally verify if this marquis could manage or not?”
Princess Xinyang clenched her fist tightly.
He raised two distinctly jointed fingers, pushing to the edge of self-destruction, “Do I need to remind you… how many times in total?”
Princess Xinyang was about to explode!
How did she ever fall for this guy!
Is it still too late to regret?
Really want to kill him!
He’s fragile right now, so Princess Xinyang held back.
A gentleman’s revenge can wait ten years.
Once you’re healed, see how I deal with you.
Princess Xinyang took a deep breath, regaining the elegance and composure of a royal princess. She helped him up and calmly said, “Let’s go.”
Even without looking, Xiao Ji could feel her killing intent, but she was restrained by his injuries.
Just thinking about her dark face, about to burst but unable to, Xiao Ji couldn’t help but laugh.
Princess Xinyang gritted her teeth, “Laugh again and I’ll leave you behind!”
The two of them followed the passage forward, walking for who knows how long, until finally, they saw a sliver of light. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝕟𝕖𝕥
Princess Xinyang’s heart lifted with joy, “There’s an exit! We’re getting out!”
Xiao Ji, however, kept his eyes on where the light was coming from, staying alert for any movement.
His caution proved correct. Just as the two were about to exit, two Dongyi soldiers suddenly turned around, drawing curved knives against them.
Xiao Ji was wearing the armor of a Zhan Country military officer, easily recognizable.
The two soldiers lunged forward, intending to capture them alive. Xiao Ji quickly shielded Princess Xinyang behind him, raised his hand to snatch one soldier’s curved knife, then swiftly sliced, sealing with a deadly blow, double-kill!
The two soldiers fell to the snowfield without even having time to call for help.
Xiao Ji felt a sharp pain in his chest, helplessly falling down, kneeling on one knee in the snowfield, using the curved knife to support himself.
“Xiao Ji!” Princess Xinyang took a step forward, squatted down, looking at him worriedly.
“I’m fine.” His vigilant gaze swept over the front, quickly saying, “Hurry, put on their clothes!”
Princess Xinyang had never worn another man’s clothes before, but faced with a life-and-death situation, she couldn’t care less.
She stripped the armor and outerwear from the two Dongyi soldiers.
The two of them changed in time.
Xuanping Marquis buried the removed armor and clothing in the snowfield, pushing the two Dongyi soldiers’ corpses into a nearby canal, covering them with accumulated snow.
Princess Xinyang also lent a hand, raising her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, panting as she said, “This should do it, right?”
Just as she finished speaking, the two of them turned around, seeing an elderly woman leaning on a cane, standing in the snowfield not far away, gazing intently at them.
