Chapter 204: A Life in Exchange for Medicine (1)
After he spoke, Gong Yi Mo suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest, causing her to spit out a mouthful of blood!
Si Wuyan sneered. Although he appeared to smile in satisfaction on the surface, there was a slight discomfort in him. But before he could reply, the horse under him suddenly neighed with a loud voice and raced forward crazily! It was truly frightened!
Gong Yi Mo endured the pain in her chest and wiped off the blood from her lips. She glanced down and sighed softly.
“Haven’t I told you? You shouldn’t let that horse see blood…”
The sound of her words resonated in his ears! Si Wuyan leaned low on the horse’s back while holding the reins tightly to ensure that he isn’t thrown off! After recalling Gong Yi Mo’s earlier warning, he cursed himself for lifting a stone, only for it to land on his own foot!
At this right, if he is thrown right off, he might lose half of his life even if he doesn’t lose it completely!
The scenery around him receded quickly. He needed to find a way to get down from the horse, otherwise, he might end up meeting a soldier of Lou Ye and be targeted by arrows. But how can he get down?
Countless ideas flitted through his thoughts, which he rejected one after the other. His heart became more and more unsettled as cold sweat trickled down his forehead.
Is the saying true that those who commit too many sins are destined to die?
Si Wuyan couldn’t help but think of this matter in his panic. His frightened heart was suddenly weighed down.
The wind continued to blow against his face. What can a useless man do to dismount without acquiring any injuries?
In that case…if he dies, who will take his place to succeed after his mother’s legacy?
But he can’t be assured that the next man would be as obedient as he is.
With this in mind, his tight grasp on the reins gradually relaxed. At this moment, a female voice sounded behind him, snapping him to attention!
“Do you want to die just like that?”
He turned around in panic. Of course, it was Gong Yi Mo who chased after him!
The horse she rode was obviously a rare breed since it was able to catch up with the frightened mad horse!
But what was the point of her catching up? At such speed, he didn’t believe it was possible for her to save him, especially since it involved too much risk. He didn’t think she would do so for his sake, since he did attempt to kill her before!
Gong Yi Mo caught up to his side. Her face was pale, obviously due to severe pain, but she still continued to smile as if everything was still under control.
“I never said I wouldn’t give you a chance. When I count to three, you must jump down, and then I’ll catch you!”
Her words caused him to laugh. At such a high speed, he would surely die if he jumped down, and yet she even offered to catch him. She probably was too naive. Even if she had powerful martial arts, catching him would require a moving internal force that was as powerful as a thousand arrows running through one’s heart. If an adult can’t handle it, how can a little girl possibly do so?
“One.”
Her calm voice touched a small part of Si Wuyan’s heart. At this moment, he suddenly regretted having poisoned her.
“Two.”
Anyways, if his horse continues to run off like this, he’ll eventually meet his demise. Running towards Lou Ye’s soldiers and being pierced by ten thousand arrows through the heart would be a death that is too shameful and undignified. If he dies from trying to jump, at least Gong Yi Mo will be able to collect his corpse somehow.
In the midst of his frustration and cold sweat, Gong Yi Mo suddenly smiled and said, “If you’ve heard about me, you should know that this Gong Yi Mo will never let people down!”
Her words were like a heart-stirring needle that stunned Si Wuyan awake.
“Three!”
Clearly he shouldn’t let go, and clearly he was afraid of death! But when the girl shouted out the number ‘three,’ he unconsciously released his grip and jumped down with gritted teeth.
Then, he crashed into a warm embrace!
