Universe Storage Box

Xiao Huan never would have thought that Princess Qi would really come back. She still thought that Princess Qi's previous words were comforting her. After all... Princess Qi was just a weak girl who did not have the strength to truss a chicken. She wanted to save herself from the Rebellion Soldier. In Xiao Huan's eyes, it was impossible. She might even lose Princess Qi herself.    

    

Therefore, after Princess Qi left, Xiao Huan did not think that Princess Qi would return. However, she did not blame Princess Qi. Instead, she felt that this was the right way to do it. Otherwise, both of them would have died here.    

    

Xiao Huan did not expect that Princess Qi actually came back and even stabbed that Rebellion Soldier to save her. This shocked Xiao Huan and filled her with surprise.    

    

Xiao Huan's surprised cry also woke Princess Qi up. She quickly came up and pushed the Rebellion Soldier away from Xiao Huan. Then, she squatted down beside Xiao Huan and asked, "Xiao Huan, how are you? Are you alright? Did he bully you?"    

    

Princess Qi asked very urgently. This was also what she had been worried about before. The Rebellion Soldier had said before that they had thoughts about them, and Xiao Huan had sprained her ankle. She had no way to walk and had to help herself escape. So... He might be bullied by that person, and if that really happened... For a girl, it was definitely a huge blow.    

    

"No, I'm fine." Xiao Huan quickly said. After that, she looked at the Rebellion Soldier that was pushed to the ground by Princess Qi and said, "He wants... But princess, you came at the right time. He did not succeed."    

    

That Rebellion Soldier indeed wanted to bully Xiao Huan previously. However, Xiao Huan struggled for a while before giving up. Princess Qi appeared at the right time, so the Rebellion Soldier did not succeed.    

    

"That's good, that's good." After hearing Xiao Huan's words, Princess Qi also heaved a sigh of relief. She had rushed back in a hurry, but fortunately, she managed to make it in time. If she had been a little later, perhaps something that was difficult to accept would have happened.    

    

"He's dead?" Princess Qi looked at the Rebellion Soldier that she stabbed first and then pushed to the ground and asked uncertainly.    

    

At this time, the Rebellion Soldier was lying on the ground with its face facing downwards. It did not move at all, as if it was really dead.    

    

However, Princess Qi and Xiao Huan were still a little worried. Xiao Huan struggled to get up and went to the person's side to push him. That person did not have any reaction. After that, Xiao Huan gritted her teeth and pushed him hard. Only then did she see that the person had pierced the tip of the knife from behind and was now inserted into the ground. That person was like a gourd that was skewered there and there was quite a lot of blood flowing on the ground. It was completely red. Its eyes were wide open, but it no longer breathed.    

    

"He's dead." Xiao Huan said.    

    

"Putong!" Princess Qi sat down and stared blankly at the dead Rebellion Soldier.    

    

Princess Qi had such a reaction because this was the first time she had killed someone. For a moment, she found it hard to accept and had not gotten used to it. After all, not everyone liked to kill and was used to killing.    

    

In addition, Princess Qi also had some lingering fear. If not for Xiao Huan stalling the Rebellion Soldier, if she had not found the knife in time, perhaps she and Xiao Huan would have been killed by the other party. That was really more painful than death. And now, this was a huge threat to her and Xiao Huan. Finally, it was over. Princess Qi also really let out a sigh of relief. At this time, the strength in her body seemed to have dissipated at the first moment. She did not have the strength to support it and immediately sat down on the ground.    

    

Actually, Princess Qi was also very tired before. But... She knew that she had to persist. Otherwise... She and Xiao Huan would be in danger. So... Even if she did not have any strength left, she was still holding on. She knew that Xiao Huan still had to wait for her to save her. And now... The matter was temporarily over, and the anger in her heart was relieved. Her whole body went limp.    

    

Xiao Huan sat beside Princess Qi and asked, "Princess, are you alright?"    

    

Princess Qi shook her head and did not speak.    

    

"Princess, what happened previously? Why did you come back? Where is that knife?" Xiao Huan continued to ask. One reason why she did this was because she was indeed puzzled. Because she really did not think that Princess Qi would come back.    

    

In addition, she was also deliberately looking for a topic to talk to Princess Qi about. She was afraid that Princess Qi would fall into the fear of killing someone and would not be able to extricate herself, not to mention that Princess Qi had personally killed someone. Even Xiao Huan herself had yet to kill someone. Just looking at the scene just now... Her heart had yet to completely calm down. So... She felt that Princess Qi's heart must not be feeling good either. Because of this... That was why she deliberately found a topic to talk about with Princess Qi. She hoped that she would not continue to be entangled in the matter of killing just now.    

    

"After I left this place just now, I did not go far away. Instead, I went to look for the corpses of those Rebellion Soldier and Imperial Guards soldiers nearby." Princess Qi said slowly.    

    

"Corpses?"    

    

"Yes, that's right." Princess Qi continued to say, "In the previous large-scale battle, this mountain was filled with corpses in many places. Some were from the Rebellion Army, and some were from our escort team. And beside these corpses, many of them were armed. I'm going to look for weapons. Just the two of us... I'm sure I can't defeat that Rebellion Soldier, that's why I wanted to find a weapon. Fortunately, I didn't go far before I found it. I rushed back after that. Luckily, I came back in time. "    

    

Xiao Huan nodded and praised, "Princess, you are really smart. If it was me, I would have been dumbfounded and would not know what to do. I could not think of anything."    

    

Xiao Huan was also speaking the truth. At that time, her mind was indeed blank and she did not think of what kind of weapon to look for. Fortunately, Princess Qi did not lose her mind in the crisis and thought of a way to save herself.    

    

"No, you are more rational than me. If you did not hold him back, I would not have had the time to look for a weapon." Princess Qi nodded.    

    

Indeed, if Xiao Huan did not hold the other party back, Princess Qi would have been scared out of her wits and would not have the mood to look for a weapon. She was afraid that she would have already suffered.    

    

"Princess, what should we do now?" Xiao Huan asked.    

    

Although they had killed the Rebellion Soldier, they were temporarily safe. However, this didn't mean that they wouldn't be in danger anymore. In fact, there were dangers everywhere in this mountain. The Rebellion Soldier, the Imperial Guards soldiers, and the ordinary soldiers of the Great Lu Dynasty. They were scattered all over the mountain. The two of them could run into these people at any time.    

    

It would be better if they met the soldiers of Imperial Guards or the other members of the escort team. At least for the time being, there was no danger. But if it was the Rebellion Soldier... They would be in danger. Princess Qi could save Xiao Huan this time. Besides having a weapon, it was also because the other party's attention was on Xiao Huan. She did not think that Princess Qi would return. So... That was why he was ambushed by Princess Qi. Next time, if they were to encounter another Rebellion Soldier... Maybe there won't be such a good chance anymore.    

    

And even if they encountered soldiers from the Imperial Guards or other Great Lu Dynasties soldiers, it might not be a good thing. Because those people didn't take the eunuchs and palace maid too seriously. Perhaps their attitude towards them was even worse than those of the Rebellion Soldier.    

    

Therefore, Xiao Huan and Princess Qi did not want to meet any of those people.    

    

"Let's find a place to hide first and wait for the sky to turn dark." Princess Qi looked at the sky and said.    

    

At this time, the sky was about to turn dark, but there was still some light. Walking around at this time was obviously not a wise decision, especially when they were only two weak girls. That would be even more dangerous.    

    

Xiao Huan naturally did not have any objections towards Princess Qi's decision.    

    

After that, Princess Qi helped Xiao Huan up and the two of them supported her as they walked forward. To find a suitable place to hide. However, before the two of them left, he still pulled out the blade from the Rebellion Soldier's body. If he really encountered danger, even if he had a weapon... However, with a weapon on his body, he could at least gain some confidence.    

    

The weeds and trees on the mountain were quite lush. It wasn't difficult to find a suitable place to hide. The two of them quickly found a place and hid there. They did not dare to make a sound and carefully observed their surroundings. Xiao Huan could also use this period of time to recover her body.    

    

The night finally came and the sounds of fighting in Cangling Mountain gradually became less frequent. To the people of this era, fighting at night was obviously not a good choice. Plus, after fighting for such a long time during the day, many people were also very tired. At this time, they naturally had to rest well.    

    

Furthermore, the people who had withdrawn from the mountain earlier... At this time, some of them had already left this place, leaving this place of trouble. No matter why they had come here before, they could only choose to give up temporarily. Because this place had become extremely dangerous due to the previous chaotic battle. It was not suitable to stay any longer.    

    

And among these people, the one who was the most unwilling was... Naturally, it was Wang Cheng and Bai Yufei. Both of them felt that... They were only a step away from success. All they needed to do was to hold on for a bit longer. However, they couldn't hold on for even a little bit of time. They were naturally unwilling to lose in the end.    

    

However, even if they were unwilling, it was useless. They could only choose to leave this place and find other opportunities after reorganizing themselves, even though they knew that it would be very difficult.
