C8 Captured

"We can't stay here for long. It's hard to say if there won't be pursuers." Ji Jingjing knitted his brows as his voice turned colder, "When the time comes, I will implicate the innocent."

Hearing this, the official also understood. She had expended a great deal of effort to escape the Imperial Palace, so she was naturally unwilling to return just like that. However, if she stayed, it would bring disaster to her husband and wife, so she couldn't do it either.

"Alright."

Ji Jing's underling and Ji Jing's underling whispered to each other for a while, before the three of them decided to leave without saying a word.

The official looked at the house that he had lived in for a few days, although it was simple and simple, but it was still warm. Sighing, she carried her backpack and followed Ji Jing's footsteps.

The three of them didn't walk too far before the person who tried to assassinate Ji Jing found them. There were dozens of people on the other side, and when the hidden guards came to find Ji Jing, they were all by themselves.

There was a huge gap between the two of them. The three of them continued to fight as they retreated, but none of them knew any martial arts. All they could do was run for their lives under the cover of Ji Jing.

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

A sword and a crossbow shot towards Ji Jingshui. Ji Jingshang was blocking a fatal blow for Guan Ran, exposing his own back.

He frowned but his movement became faster and faster. He let go of the sword and shot towards the crossbow.

The officials were still in shock. They covered their mouths and tried not to make a sound to distract their attention as they quickly tried to think of a solution.

He also felt that this was a burden, and with a simple push, he pushed her out of the ring, "Hurry and run!"

The enemy was fierce, so Ji Jing didn't have the time to pay attention to her, and tacitly agreed to her actions, the two of them protected her as they ran and retreated.

Suddenly, the officer hid behind a rock and grabbed a handful of dry soil and grass, holding it in his hand, he suddenly rushed out and scattered while roaring, "Your majesty, there's poison, don't breathe."

Dust filled the air, and the assassin subconsciously covered his mouth and nose, slowing down his movements. When they opened their eyes again, all they could see were messy footprints.

"Chase!"

When he reached a slope, he suddenly lost his strength and tumbled down.

"Ah …"

Ji Jingtian paused in his steps and turned around to chase after her. He wanted to advise her as well, but it was already too late.

Ji Jing caught her leg to stop her fall speed, picked her up and dropped her on the ground, frowning. "How are you?"

However, the officer couldn't stand still. He took a deep breath and leaned against Ji Jing, gritting his teeth, "My foot is injured."

She was injured in the process of escaping, which was very disadvantageous for the three of them.

He too frowned as he listened in every direction, trying to persuade Ji Jing, "Your Majesty, there are too many enemies. They will catch up very soon. Your subordinate thought that if I didn't bring this lady along, she would harm you."

Ji Jing paused for a moment. He glanced at He, and his expression turned cold.

The official thought that Ji Jing would not listen to his subordinate's words. She tugged on the man's sleeve and gritted her teeth in silence.

"Ran …"

Ji Jing was lost in thought for a moment. He suddenly lowered his head and tore off Shangguan Ran's hand. He said expressionlessly, "Your foot is injured. You can't follow us anymore."

Otherwise, she would be the first target.

The official's expression changed, "What do you mean?"

Leave her?

He couldn't hold it in either. With a slight expression, he said, "Your majesty, the enemy's coming after them."

Ji Jing made a prompt decision. He swept his gaze over the place before suddenly picking up the corpse of the officer beside him and walked towards a cave with big steps.

The officer looked at his determined chin and was stunned for a moment. These days, at least, she thought they were friends.

However, Ji Jingtian arranged for her to stay in a cave and chose to leave with his subordinates.

"Ji Jing …"

The man had just put her down when Guan Ran frowned and said in a cold voice, "I misjudged you."

He was just about to angrily reprimand her for her impudence when he suddenly saw the emperor's expression change. He felt bad and immediately urged, "Your majesty, they're about to come. If they stay any longer, everyone will be in danger."

Ji Jing pursed his lips, his heart thumping. He only took a glance at the burnt corpse, but his expression remained the same. "You take care."

He left with big strides, without even looking back, and gave a cold laugh. He looked at his swollen carrot-like feet and felt a little sad.

Not long after, three people rushed into the cave, but they only saw the dejected and dejected Carnage General Ran. It was obvious that they were dissatisfied. "Where's the Emperor?"

The man's voice was hoarse, and he didn't even look at her as he coldly said, "He ran away."

The assassin was stunned. He frowned as he glanced at the cave before waving his hand and commanding his subordinates, "Take her back to Master."

The officer did not struggle to catch her and was taken back by the pursuers. In this situation, she could only conserve her vitality and suffer less.

The officer was imprisoned in a courtyard. He lived there for several days, but no one paid any attention to her. There was only a young maid, and she was very pretty. Unfortunately, she was a mute.

On this day, she was lying on a soft flat in the sun with her legs crossed. Caught off guard, a masked face appeared in her line of sight.

"Eh?"

It was half a butterfly mask, showing the man's delicate white chin and rosy red lips. Subconsciously, she thought of Ji Jing, the man's lips were so thin, the color of his lips was alluring.

"Who are you?"
