Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 266: Leaving the Burden Behind

"No, she would just be a burden. If we take her with us, the guards will chase us relentlessly!"

The red fox refused to run forward and suddenly turned around and pounced on Ji Anni. Its two front paws tightly grasped Ji Anni's sleeves, hanging on her arms like a handbag.

"What do you want to do!" Ji Anni also became anxious and yelled, stopping subconsciously.

The red fox didn't explain much, it lowered its head and bit Princess Tianning's wrist!

As long as Princess Tianning's wrist is bitten off, Ji Anni can regain her freedom.

Only by regaining their freedom can they escape the pursuit of the guards. There are not many pursuers now, so they can escape until now. If they hesitate any longer, when the reinforcements arrive and surround the mountains and forests, the consequences will be disastrous.

Princess Tianning's wrist was dripping with blood under the red fox's fangs. Her mouth was covered by Ji Anni, so she could only make a few sad sobs. In the silence, Ji Anni could even hear the sound of Princess Tianning's hand bones breaking.

"Let her go!" Ji Anni couldn't bear it any longer. She released her hand that was covering Princess Tianning's mouth and swung towards the red fox.

The red fox didn't expect Ji Anni to suddenly attack him. He couldn't avoid it and was thrown away by Ji Anni and fell heavily to the ground.

Although Princess Tianning's wrist was not bitten off, several blood vessels were bitten, and blood flowed everywhere, staining both her left hand and Ji Anni's right hand with a sticky stain.

"Why?" The red fox fell and saw stars. After getting up from the ground, he questioned Ji Annie.

Ji Anni held Princess Tianning, who was almost in a coma, in her arms and answered softly, "Because... because just now in the palace, she helped me block a sword..."

I still remember that in Tianning Palace, when Kang Xiaorong suddenly swung his sword, it was Princess Tianning who rushed forward and blocked Ji Anni.

Otherwise, I'm afraid Ji Anni would have been stabbed by Kang Xiaorong long ago.

Although the current Ji Anni is no longer the original Ji Anni, and most of her consciousness has been dominated by the awakened power in her body, she still remembers the scene when Princess Tianning rushed over to hug her and help her block the sword.

Since Princess Tianning was willing to get injured in order to protect her, she must not let Princess Tianning lose her hand.

"If you hurt her again, I will be rude to you." Ji Annie's amber eyes sparkled in the darkness, issuing a menacing warning to the red fox.

Red Fox was a little angry and said fiercely: "Okay, I promise you, I won't hurt her. But..." Then he changed the subject and responded to Ji Anni in a threatening tone, "I won't save her either..."

Princess Tianning has been bleeding profusely since she was bitten by the red fox. If she is not treated in time, she will die from excessive blood loss. Ji Anni does not know medical skills, and there is absolutely no doctor nearby. If the red fox is unwilling to save her, Princess Tianning will die. Ji Anni's attitude just now has angered the red fox, and the red fox will never compromise with Ji Anni again.

"Princess? Princess?" Ji Anni patted Princess Tianning's cheek.

Princess Tianning had already fallen into a coma and did not respond. Excessive blood loss, fear and exhaustion had already pushed her to her limit.

"Hurry up!" The red fox urged, rushing forward first. It is not advisable to stay here for long, as pursuers may catch up at any time. Before escaping to a safe area, there must be no relaxation.

Ji Anni was very worried about Princess Tianning. Even though the red fox had run far away, she still stood there, holding Princess Tianning's motionless body, and did not take a step for a long time.

After running more than fifty steps, the red fox found that Ji Anni was not following, so it immediately turned around and ran back, shouting at Ji Anni: "What are you doing? Why don't you run? They are about to catch up!"

Ji Anni did not answer, but looked down at Princess Tianning's face in her arms, which had turned pale as the blood faded.

"Hurry up!" The red fox became even more anxious. She circled around Ji Annie's feet anxiously, urging Ji Annie to escape with her.

However, compared to the red fox at her feet, Ji Anni's attention was always focused on Princess Tianning.

Through the two people's tightly connected hands, one could feel that Princess Tianning's body temperature was gradually dropping.

If it drags on, Princess Tianning's life might be in danger...

"quick!"

When the red fox urged them for the third time, footsteps suddenly came from the bushes about thirty meters away from them.

Ji Anni looked up towards the direction where the voice came from, and she saw Kang Xiaorong rushing over after moving the tree.

In the darkness, the vision of animals far exceeds that of humans, so Ji Anni can see Kang Xiaorong, but Kang Xiaorong cannot see Ji Anni. Even though he cannot see, it seems that some strange force is pulling Kang Xiaorong to chase after Princess Tianning.

"If we don't escape now, it will be too late." As the crisis approached, Red Fox's voice calmed down. It seemed that after seeing Kang Xiaorong's arrival, Red Fox suddenly felt that Ji Anni would escape with her, so she was not as anxious as before.

Sure enough, after Ji Anni's eyes moved back and forth between Kang Xiaorong and Princess Tianning's faces, she quickly made a decision.

"Let's go." After a short word, Ji Anni picked up Princess Tianning and ran forward.

The red fox immediately followed suit and rushed to the front to lead the way.

As they ran, the woods began to make a rustling sound.

Although Kang Xiaorong couldn't see Ji Anni, his ears were sensitive enough to hear the noise coming from the woods. He was sure that he had caught up with Ji Anni, so he shouted "Princess Tianning" and chased after her with all his strength.

"Princess! Princess!" His roar became more intense and anxious, causing layers of echoes in the silent woods.

Firstly, it was to evoke Princess Tianning's response, and secondly, it was to remind other guards to gather here as soon as possible.

But neither of these goals was achieved.

The unconscious Princess Tianning could no longer respond to him, and the other seven or eight guards who were searching elsewhere could not hear his voice at all because they were too far away.

On the other hand, about a hundred reinforcements have entered the forest. Unfortunately, this barren mountain is too big. There is no path in the forest. It is all trees and weeds. Even if all 100,000 imperial guards were moved to search the mountain, they might not be able to find Princess Tianning. Moreover, it is still late at night. The moonlight above is completely blocked by the branches and leaves. The forest can really be described as "you can't see your hand in front of you". Even if you light a torch, you will not be able to walk because of the branches and leaves. So the guards had to extinguish the torch and search in the dark - it is almost impossible to find Princess Tianning.

The only person who has a chance of finding Princess Tianning now is Kang Xiaorong, because he is the closest to Princess Tianning.

He followed the noise coming from the bushes and ran after them as fast as he could.

On the other hand, Red Fox and Ji Anni ran even faster after discovering Kang Xiaorong, so fast that they couldn't even see the road under their feet.

Suddenly, there was a loud sound of water and the red fox's front paws touched the river bank and almost fell into the river.

"Be careful!" The red fox immediately turned around to remind Ji Annie.

But it was still too slow. Ji Anni failed to stop, and under the influence of inertia, she fell into the river with Princess Tianning in her arms.

The river was not wide, but it was very deep. After Ji Anni and Princess Tianning fell into the river, they could not sink to the bottom, but were suspended in the river. Strangely enough, after being soaked in the river water, the hands of Ji Anni and Princess Tianning slowly separated.

Can't the long-haired lignin be cleaned only by the juice of the herb Lipolyticum tiliaceum?

No one expected that there was a forest of cyperus rotundus just upstream of the river. Where there were cyperus rotundus there was also lipophilus herb. The withered lipophilus herb was washed into the river by rainwater. Over the years, a lot of lipophilus herb juice was dissolved in the river water, forming a natural lipophilus herb river. If we had known that there were cyperus rotundus outside the palace, cyperus rotundus and lipophilus herb would not be so precious.

After Ji Anni and Princess Tianning's hands loosened in the river, Princess Tianning's body slowly sank to the bottom of the river.

Princess... Ji Anni found that Princess Tianning was sinking and subconsciously picked her up.

Princess Tianning was in such a deep coma that she did not wake up even after falling into the water. She was floating quietly in the water like a corpse. If Ji Anni had not held her and kept swimming towards the surface, Princess Tianning would have really sunk to the bottom of the river.

When Ji Anni rescued Princess Tianning, both of their bodies were completely soaked.

After Princess Tianning left the water, she gradually regained consciousness and uttered a few painful coughs.

Ji Anni pushed Princess Tianning onto the river bank and climbed up with difficulty. She sat on the bank and shook off the water on her body like a fox. Then, she looked down at Princess Tianning who had not yet opened her eyes with worry.

Princess Tianning looked in a miserable state now. Not only were her clothes soaked and her whole body was pale, but her wrists were bleeding profusely.

Red Fox walked up to Ji Anni and said, "Leave her here. Someone will come to rescue her."

Kang Xiaorong was not far away. Rather than taking Princess Tianning with her and causing her to bleed to death, it would be better to hand her over to Kang Xiaorong for care. Moreover, after handing over the princess, Ji Anni and the others could also shake off the pursuers.

After a little consideration, Ji Anni finally decided to leave Princess Tianning on the river bank and follow the red fox to continue fleeing deep into the woods.

#

Kang Xiaorong, who was not far away, had already heard the sound of falling into the water. He was more worried about the safety of Princess Tianning, so he hurried to the scene of the accident.

When he pushed aside the bushes and saw a wet woman lying by the river, his heart sank like a stone.

Why is it that only Princess Tianning is seen and not Ji Anni? Did Ji Anni murder Princess Tianning?

Princess Tianning lay motionless by the river, really like a corpse.

"Princess!...Princess..." Kang Xiaorong cut off the thorns entangled around his feet, dragged his frightened body, and limped towards Princess Tianning.

After arriving at Princess Tianning's side, his first action was to check Princess Tianning's breath.

After feeling Princess Tianning's weak breath, he heaved a sigh of relief. Then his eyes fell on Princess Tianning's hand and found that Princess Tianning's hand was not broken, but there was a shocking blood on her wrist.

Kang Xiaorong immediately tore off the corners of his clothes and helped Princess Tianning bandage her wound.

While the wound was being bandaged, Princess Tianning suddenly let out a faint moan, "Woo..."

"Princess?" Kang Xiaorong immediately picked up Princess Tianning from the ground.
