After the indigenous heroine was reborn, she went crazy and reorganized the plot line

Chapter 227 Falling off the cliff

It was a night of endless darkness.

The cold moon had long been obscured by layers of thick rain and fog.

Only a few rays of light filtered through the gaps in the clouds, illuminating the earth.

On a quiet night, apart from the howling of the cold wind, the only sound around was the friction between the wheels and the uneven ground.

Sitting in the carriage, Rong Su secretly glanced at Shen Ying who was sitting opposite her.

After leaving the Secret Shadow Pavilion, Shen Ying did not reveal any information about why he took her to Beizhou.

This gave her an uneasy feeling.

Shen Ying, who was pretending to be asleep, seemed to notice her gaze and suddenly opened his eyes. His cold eyes looked a little similar to someone else's eyes for a moment.

It’s Shen Xuan, after all, he is Shen Xuan’s younger brother.

"Don't think about running away. You can't escape. Put away those thoughts in your heart and be a good boy and follow me to Beizhou."

His words sounded gentle, but full of warning.

Rong Su stared at him with a sneer, "Why did you bring me to Beizhou?"

Shen Ying slowly turned his head to look at her, his gaze was indifferent, yet a bit cold, but in that coldness he seemed like an actor who was good at disguise, trying hard to maintain a hint of gentleness.

"For a promise. Don't ask so much. This is not something you can ask."

After saying that, Shen Ying no longer told her anything and chose to close his eyes.

Rong Su narrowed her eyes and moved her fingers slightly under her sleeves.

I don't know how he noticed her slight movement, but he closed his eyes and warned her again in a gentle and deep voice.

"I told you to put away your little thoughts."

Rong Su was slightly startled and stopped moving her fingers. She stared at the man opposite her. He had a handsome face and there was no trace of the vicissitudes of time on his face, but the white hair on both sides proved that he was an old man.

She looked away, feeling heavy in her heart. If she really followed Shen Ying to Beizhou, wouldn't that be like walking into a wolf's den?

Listening to the sound of wheels, Rong Su's mood became more solemn. At the same time, she also thought that she hoped Zhou Di and Yan Liang would not take any action, and this matter should not implicate them anymore.

-

The border where two continents are at war.

Beizhou military camp tent.

Shen Fengyu was wearing silver armor, sitting in front of a low table, holding a secret document in his hand.

After taking a closer look at the contents, his face, which had been furious, suddenly turned into a smile.

"Haha, it turns out that my uncle is very strategic. He was able to help me find her."

The deputy general, who was standing by cautiously, saw his moody monarch's face light up and asked quietly, "I wonder what news has the monarch received that makes him so happy?"

Shen Fengyu folded the letter and threw it into the furnace to burn. There was a hint of sinister pride in his eyes: "The person that Shen Peiqing carefully protected finally fell into my hands."

"If you don't change, she will still come to me. Shen Peiqing, no matter what it is, you will never get it."

After saying this, he stared at the deputy general, a sinister arc appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he issued an order in a cold and cruel manner.

"Within seven days, you must break through the divine punishment at Yugu Pass. Pass the order: whoever cuts off Shen Peiqing's head will be directly promoted to General Zhenyuan. If I still haven't seen Shen Peiqing's head within seven days, then your family will wait to go to hell on Shen Peiqing's behalf."

The deputy general was stunned when he heard this, his body trembling slightly, and he lowered his head: "Yes. Yes, my lord."

-

The carriage had been traveling for two days. It would take at least three days to travel from Secret Shadow Pavilion to Beizhou. In one day, she would reach Beizhou.

Rong Su appeared calm on the surface, but was actually very tormented and anxious inside.

If this continues, she will really end up in the wolf's den, and escaping from Beizhou will be extremely difficult.

Just as he was feeling distressed, he suddenly heard the carriage stop abruptly, and outside he heard the sound of horses neighing and swords being drawn.

Shen Ying slowly opened his eyes and said in a cold voice, "What happened?"

A guard's slightly panicked voice came from outside: "Report to the Pavilion Master, there is an ambush. It's the people from the Snake Alliance."

Snake Alliance?

Rong Su pondered for a moment and remembered that this was also a killer sect that was in competition with the Secret Shadow Pavilion in the martial arts world.

Thinking of this, Rong Su suddenly had a good idea. If she used the Snake Alliance to restrain Shen Ying, she could escape.

"Master, what should we do now? They brought three times as many people as we do." The guards outside seemed a little panicked.

Although Shen Ying's expression became a little serious, he still remained calm.

"Since the Snake Alliance has come uninvited, let's have a good fight with them." He pulled out a long sword from the drawer under his seat. Just as he was about to go out, he turned and looked at Rong Su with a warning look in his eyes.

"Don't think about running away. Even if you do, I'll find a way to find you."

After saying that, Shen Ying jumped off the carriage. Rong Su watched him leave and thought with a sneer, even so, do I have to be a lamb to be slaughtered? That's not possible.

After getting off the carriage, Shen Ying faced the dozens of blue-clad killers in front of him. He pursed his lips and a provocative smile appeared on his gentle face.

"The leader of the Snake Alliance is such a coward! He sent so many people here, yet he still doesn't dare to confront me directly."

The leader was provoked by Shen Ying, raised his sword and looked at him fiercely.

"Such nonsense! There's no need for our leader to intervene against an old white-faced man like you! Brothers, let's kill the leader of the Secret Shadow Pavilion today. From now on, our Snake Alliance will dominate the martial arts world!"

Shen Ying narrowed his eyes, gripped his sword tightly, and before taking action, he whispered to the guard beside him: "Keep an eye on the person in the carriage. If she gets hurt, you'll be in trouble."

The guard nodded solemnly: "Yes!"

Then, people from both sides engaged in a melee.

Under the flashing of swords and sabers, the cold light shone, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Shen Ying was agile and his sword was as sharp as a dragon. Every time he swung it, an enemy fell to the ground and died.

The assassins of the Snake Alliance, wearing uniform blue clothes and holding sharp knives, surrounded and attacked.

Like a ghost, Shen Ying's figure was erratic, and his swordsmanship was sharp, often killing with one sword.

Blood splattered, staining the surrounding sand and ground red. The sounds of fighting and screams from both sides intertwined together, forming a tragic picture.

Dust was flying all around, and the yellow autumn leaves were cut down by the sword energy and floated down.

Although Shen Ying was a martial arts expert, he was outnumbered by his opponent and soon suffered many wounds.

The people he brought with him were also killed by the enemy, and now only he and another guard who was still stubbornly protecting the carriage were left.

The situation is not good, and many enemies continue to emerge from the forest.

Shen Ying's voice was calm and composed. He quickly made a decision and used his sword energy to repel the wave of assassins in front of him. Then he jumped onto the carriage and shouted to the guards, "Retreat!"

Without hesitation, the guard immediately pulled the reins and started driving towards another path.

When the Snake Alliance killers saw that they were about to run away, they immediately gave chase, and they were all so excited as if they had drunk chicken blood.

Some even shot arrows at them.

Shen Ying waved the sword in his hand and shot down the arrows one by one.

But the arrows were like sharp meteor showers, and no matter how hard he hit, they kept hitting him, and his arms and shoulders were all scratched.

Suddenly, the guard driving the carriage was shot in the chest by an arrow.

"what!"

With a terrible scream, the guard fell out of the carriage. The horses were frightened and started running around wildly.

Shen Ying immediately grabbed the swinging reins, trying to steady the horse, but the killer behind him was relentless in pursuit and arrows kept shooting at him. He swung his sword to knock down the arrows while controlling the out-of-control horse.

He looked very flustered and embarrassed.

Rong Su, who was sitting in the carriage, finally broke through the acupuncture points. She was planning to run away during the chaos, but was discovered by the guard, who actually pressed her acupuncture points.

Fortunately, she had learned how to flush acupoints from Shen Peiqing before, otherwise she might have died here.

The next second, an arrow pierced through the carriage and was about to hit her. She was quick-eyed and quickly dodged to the side.

The carriage was shaking so much that it made her dizzy. Now she and Shen Ying were like grasshoppers tied to the same rope.

Although he didn't want to admit it at all, if Shen Ying died, he and he would definitely be implicated. The Snake Alliance obviously had hostility towards Shen Ying.

After just a moment of thought, Rong Su made a decisive choice.

Rong Su got out of the carriage. Shen Ying felt it, frowned, swung his sword and shot down an arrow. He said to her coldly, "Are you looking for death? Get in now!"

Rong Su didn't think twice and retorted directly: "I think it's you who is seeking death, not me. Give me the sword."

When Shen Ying heard this, his face darkened. "Want to kill me? No way. Even in this situation, I have a higher chance of killing you in return."

Hearing his words, Rong Su wanted to laugh, but turned around to look at the endless stream of assassins behind him and said coldly, "Now I'm implicated by you. You want to die, but I don't. Give me the sword, I'll shoot arrows, and you control the carriage!"

Now they have been chased by the killer to the edge of a very steep cliff. If they are not careful, they will all be killed.

Shen Ying also realized the seriousness of the situation. Although he did not trust Rong Su at all, at this critical moment, he had to choose to believe her temporarily.

"Don't try to play tricks on me, or I'll make you regret it." He gave her the sword, but did not forget to warn her.

Rong Su laughed coldly, took the sword and knocked down two arrows shot from the side.

"I'm not as mean as you. I can't be a mean person."

Shen Ying's face turned even darker after being hurt by Rong Su's words.

However, with one more person to deal with the endless stream of arrows, he was able to control the out-of-control carriage well.

But the mountain path was steep, and it seemed to have rained the night before, so the ground was slippery.

The carriage was heavy and everything happened very suddenly.

"what!"

An arrow whizzed towards her, and a hand grabbed her arm and pulled her to the other side. Rong Su opened her eyes wide and watched the arrow pierce Shen Ying's shoulder blade.

Afterwards, the carriage and the horses carrying Shen Ying and Rong Su fell off the edge of the mountain road to the cliff.

The wind whistled past my ears and my heart felt like it was about to jump out of my chest.

Rong Su held the sword tightly, trying to find a way to survive while falling, and kept swiping towards the mountain wall.

But the mountain wall was steep, and the long sword had been damaged after the battle, so it was impossible to accurately insert it into the cliff wall.

The trees on the mountain wall were like sharp blades, cutting the air and her clothes.

In the chaotic vision, she caught sight of Shen Ying's slightly frightened face. They couldn't help but look at each other in mid-air, but were speechless.

Her body rolled in mid-air, and every collision with the mountain wall caused her excruciating pain. She used all her strength to barely turn her body and avoid the sharp rocks that would be fatal to her.

But she couldn't give up, nor could she die.

It was this thought that forced her to stab the cliff wall with her sword several times to slow down her descent.

The branches and leaves of the trees whipped her cheeks, leaving bloody marks. Even though it hurt, she didn't want to give up hope of life.

Afterwards, she seemed to fall into icy water. It seemed that she used up all her strength to climb to the shore, but when she reached the shore, she had no strength left and fainted.

When she woke up, it was dark all around her, but light was still shining through the gaps on the top of the cliff.

I can barely see part of the surrounding environment.

Wet and cold.

There are weeds that are taller than humans, and some wild vegetation.

Occasionally, you can even hear some subtle noises, probably from some wild animals.

Looking at the cold lake in front of her, she didn't expect that she had such luck and didn't fall to her death.

Glancing over, I saw a figure on the gravel by the lake.

Rong Su hesitated for a moment, but still decided to walk over.

Looking down at Shen Ying who had already fainted.

His elegant clothes were already stained with blood, and he looked extremely disheveled, having completely lost his noble and refined demeanor.

There were two wounds on his handsome face, and sword wounds and arrow wounds of varying sizes on his shoulder blades, waist, and arms.

Shen Ying's injuries were very serious.

Rong Su stared at him. In fact, she could have left him alone. After all, this man was the enemy of her Bai Tiao Sect. Not killing him with her own hands would be considered merciful on her part. She didn't want to save him.

Just as she was about to leave, Rong Su stopped again, remembering that he had just blocked an arrow for her.

After a brief mental struggle, she chose to turn around and stare at Shen Ying for a while.

"You're lucky. If it were in the past, I would never have saved you."

The valley floor was gradually enveloped in darkness, and the cold wind seemed to be getting stronger.

The crackling sound of flames burning wood.

Shen Ying opened his eyes in a daze and saw a hazy outline of a figure in his vision.

The outline seemed familiar, like someone he had hidden in his heart for a long time. In the reflection of the firelight, her face gradually became clear.

He unconsciously stretched out his hand towards the figure, but the wound on his arm deeply hurt his bones.

A slight moan couldn't help but escape from the corner of his mouth.

"you're awake?"

As the voice sounded, his vision gradually became clearer and the figure in front of him also became clearer.

It was Rong Su's face, which was only slightly similar to the face in his mind.

Shen Ying glanced at Rong Su, lowered his eyes, and looked at the wounds on his body that had been roughly bandaged.

"You didn't kill me?"

Shen Ying's tone seemed a little surprised.

Rong Su glanced at him, poked the fire with a branch, and sneered.

"It seems you have self-awareness."

Shen Ying chose to remain silent, and the only sound around him was the crackling of flames burning wood.
