The dog was quick to react. He took the opportunity to pull my hand and quickly ran in the direction where no one was fighting.
The wind was howling in our ears, and the two of us ran as fast as we could, ignoring the weeds and brambles.
Unexpectedly, the two bandits realised that they had been tricked by me and immediately stopped and chased after us.
Seeing that they were getting closer and closer, Doggie and I frantically ran forward. However, at this crucial moment, I accidentally tripped over a vine of a tree.
"Run, run again!" "Haha, you slut actually dared to provoke us two brothers. Let's see where you can run to now. I'll definitely let you have a taste of my strength, brothers." A bandit said with a frivolous tone.
Another bandit panted and revealed an obscene expression as he said:
"Brother, this is a princess, Jinzhi, Yuye, we're rich, let's taste it first and then we can sell it in the cellar. Hehe, then wouldn't we be selling it at a sky-high price?" Princess, don't worry, this brother will definitely call you grandpa. "Haha …"
I knew that I could not escape. In a moment of desperation, I pulled out the golden hairpin and let my hair fall down like a waterfall.
"Scoundrel, after I die, I will turn into a malicious spirit and hack you into a thousand pieces to avenge this enmity!" I pressed the golden hairpin against my throat. Even if I die, I have to keep my innocence. At this moment, I thought of Yang Guang. I thought of the warm smile on his face when we met for the first time. This was the only warmth that came to my heart when I was in such a desperate situation.
If he knew that I died in the hands of two bandits, he would definitely kill two bandits to avenge me. I'm sure he will.
Perhaps it was due to my black hair covering half of my face, but the cold look in my eyes scared them. The two bandits actually stopped moving, revealing endless pity on their faces as they anxiously said:
"Don't. Put down the hairpin. If you have anything to say, we can talk it out. As long as you obey us two brothers, we will definitely have your benefits in the future."
There was a slight chill in my throat, and the golden hairpin left a red mark on it, dripping bright red liquid. I didn't feel any pain at all.
"Princess, no! Run! " The dog knocked the golden hairpin out of my hand and threw himself to the ground in front of me. I don't know where he got the strength, but he knocked over a bandit, rolled over, and desperately hugged the leg of another bandit.
"Son of a bitch! I'll kill you! "
I was stunned by the dog's sudden counterattack:
"Dog!" I shouted at the top of my lungs, but it was too late. The bandit raised his saber and chopped off the dog's arm, causing it to fall into a pool of blood. One of his arms drew a red arc in the air before falling to the ground.
"Princess, run …" Those were the last words Doggie said before he passed out.
The bright red light aroused my desire to live, and I turned and ran, my shoes running away, not caring, my clothes hanging, not caring, I did not know the direction, all my thoughts were on the red streak the dog's arm had made as it flew through the air.
I want to live. I can't let this dog down.
When the two bandits saw me running away, they ignored the unconscious dog and chased after me.
It never occurred to me that I could run so fast, even when I was living in the country and was being chased by a wolfhound.
Maybe there's a divine aid in the dark, I finally put some distance between the two bandits. However, when I looked further ahead, I sucked in a breath of cold air. Earlier, I was secretly rejoicing at the help of God. Now, it seemed that God had given me a big joke.
My panic caused me to run blindly to the edge of the cliff.
Looking down, it was an immeasurably deep ravine. The slope was steep, as if a giant had used a knife to avoid splitting it in half. The other half was facing this mountain, which was similarly steep. Even a deity wouldn't be able to walk down such steep cliffs.
The two bandits chased after me. When they saw me standing at the edge of the cliff blankly, they laughed out loud. They used their swords to support their exhausted bodies as they said,
"You, you should just give up on that thought. You won't be able to escape. It's in my palm."
Looking at the two of them laughing wantonly and then looking at the cliff behind me, I felt even more hopeless. If there was only one way out, then I would have to jump off the cliff.
I am not a fearless person who isn't afraid of death. Thinking about how I would be smashed into smithereens, my heart is filled with endless fear. However, the moment I think about how I would have to endure the insults from these two dirty thieves if I didn't jump off the cliff, my disgust makes me feel even worse than death.
Just as I was about to jump down after retreating step by step, I suddenly saw two figures coming from afar. They were Yang Liang and Ah He.
The two bandits obviously didn't know that someone was following behind me, but they still approached me slowly, saying:
"It's better to die than to live. If I jump down, my tender beauty will become a minced meat. I won't be able to survive for eight lifetimes. Even if I become a ghost, I'll still be an ugly ghost that doesn't have a human shape."
It seems that their biggest worry at the moment was that I would jump off the cliff.
I only need to delay a little while longer, Yang Liang and A'he will arrive, then I can be saved. Thinking of this, I also calmed down and forced myself to say:
"If you take one more step, I'll really jump!"
"No, no, beauty. As long as you don't jump off the cliff, we can do whatever you want. Ah, quickly come over, it's too dangerous over there. " A bandit said.
"Hmph, it's not impossible to make me submit to you two." I purposely piqued their interest so that they wouldn't notice Yang Liang and Ah He, who were following behind them.
"What do you mean?" Their eyes immediately shone with a strange light. Their greed and lust had already captivated their minds.
"I am a grand princess and have never seen such a bloody scene before. Especially since your blades are stained with the blood of my family, how can I submit to you?" I was on the verge of tears.
The two of them looked at each other, and one of them who seemed more shrewd said in a low voice:
"Brother, oh, this beauty has a lot of schemes. Are we going to fall for her trap again?"
I heard a snort from my nose and said contemptuously:
"Could it be that the two of you are afraid of a weak girl like me who is powerless?"
After thinking about it, the two of them felt that it made sense. There was no way for me to escape either. Furthermore, was there anyone who would take out a knife to have a good time with others? Therefore, he threw the blade on the ground and said with a smile:
"Is this the way down?" After saying that, he prepared to get close to me.
"No way!" I took a step back and jumped off the cliff.
"Then what do you want?" The two of them questioned.
"When I see your swords, I am afraid that after I give in to you, you will kill me and silence me! If you want to show your sincerity, throw the blade off the cliff! " Even though I was panicking, my momentum didn't diminish.
The two of them looked at each other. Even though they felt that my reasoning was a little far-fetched, but compared to beauties, what is two blades worth? He then picked up the dagger and threw it into the ravine.
Seeing that the two of them had fallen into my trap, I smiled faintly at Yang Liang, who had already arrived. I pouted my lips, signalling for the two of them to hurry up and make their move.
Unexpectedly, my action attracted the attention of a bandit. He turned his head and shouted:
"This is bad!" Then she pounced on me quickly and clutched my neck.
The other bandit didn't even have time to make a sound before he was chopped to death by Yang Liang's saber.
"Let her go!" Yang Liang and Ah He shouted at the same time with reddened eyes.
"Haha, do you think I'm an idiot? Would I still be able to live if I let her go? " The bandit who was choking me sneered. The hand that was pinching my neck became even more forceful, almost suffocating me.
Yang Liang and Ah He didn't expect it to turn out like this. They looked at me at a loss of what to do and prepared to go up to save her. The gangster dragged me back and threatened:
"One more step. If you continue to move forward, I'll be going to be like your princess and fight against a demon and mandarin duck."
The two of them immediately stopped and did not dare to rush forward. Their eyes were red with anxiety, but they could only promise the bandit:
"Let her go, I guarantee your safe passage, I will not take your life!"
"What a joke!" "Whether you can leave here alive is a problem. If you dare to say something like that to your father, kill me if you have the ability." The criminals were quite certain that Yang Liang and the others were worried about me, so they clamored even more unrestrainedly, "I'm guessing that your dog emperor has already been killed by our chief, yet you still dare to call yourself this king?"
"Thieves, you are just spouting nonsense. Your comrades have been completely annihilated by the imperial guards. If that wasn't the case, how could we have chased them all the way here?" Yang Liang Yan said.
When he said that, I also felt that it was a little strange. This place is a deserted cliff, how did the two of them find it? But I was choking on the bandit's throat, and I couldn't even ask a question.
"Is that true?" The bandits were bewildered as they looked towards the distant Praying Rain Platform. They saw that there were quite a few imperial guards there, fighting with some stubborn white-scarred men.
