Chapter 455 Landslide
There was a loud noise in the distance.
The out-of-control carriage finally ran out of the mountain road and fell off the cliff.
The carriage disintegrated as it fell, with debris flying everywhere. A sharp piece of wood shot out like a flying knife and hit the man in black on the right in the face.
The man groaned and staggered back. The black scarf on his face was torn by the wood splinters, revealing half of his face.
Under the moonlight, Gu Weizhi saw the man's face clearly - an angular jaw and a long scar on his right cheek.
"Is it you?" Gu Weizhi recognized this face. It was Liu Qi, the guard commander of Chan Changlin.
Liu Qi's eyes flashed with panic after being recognized, but he quickly regained his coldness as a secret guard. He simply tore off the torn face towel and exposed his entire face.
"Now that I've recognized you, I can't let you leave alive." His voice was low and hoarse, like sandpaper.
"Liu Qi, if he knew what you did today, he would definitely not let you go easily!"
Liu Qi seemed quite calm. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful smile: "Humph, the prince has already agreed to this matter, and he was just pretending to please you by your side. It's a pity that those ignorant guys in the Gu family actually discovered some secrets that should not be discovered, so I can only send you to the underworld together."
After that, Liu Qi took out something from his arms, held it high, and sneered, "Look what this is? This is the prince's token, can't you recognize it?"
Gu Weizhi's heart tightened when he saw this, but he tried to remain calm. He stared at the token in his hand, and a thin layer of sweat gradually seeped out of his forehead.
Liu Qi waved the token in front of Liu Qi, then suddenly took it in his arms and said, "Now that things have come to this, there is no point in saying more. Just accept your death! This is not only the will of the prince, but also the will of the prince!"
Gu Weizhi's heart went cold. He had no grudge against the King of Huainan, so why did he want to kill him now? Thinking back to Chan Changlin's last words, countless questions swirled in his mind, but the life-and-death crisis before him did not allow him to think too much.
Liu Qi's attack became more fierce, and each strike was fatal. Gu Weizhi was caught in a dilemma, and several more wounds appeared on his body. Blood soaked his clothes, and his vision began to blur due to blood loss.
"I don't know what you mean." Liu Qi said coldly, with the blade pointed directly at Gu Weizhi's throat.
At this critical moment, a loud noise suddenly came from below the cliff.
The falling carriage seemed to have hit something, triggering a small landslide. Debris rolled down the cliff like raindrops, and the ground began to tremble.
"Be careful!" another man in black shouted, but it was too late. A huge rock rolled down from above and hit Liu Qi's companion directly. The man was crushed under the rock before he could even scream.
Liu Qi had to retreat temporarily to avoid the falling rubble. Gu Weizhi seized this fleeting opportunity and turned to flee deep into the forest. Behind him came Liu Qi's angry roar and the sound of footsteps chasing him.
Gu Weizhi's vision became increasingly blurred, and every breath was accompanied by severe pain in his ribs. He knew he couldn't hold on for much longer, but his instinct to survive drove him forward.
The forest was filled with the smell of mud and blood. Apart from the sound of my own heartbeat, the only sound I could hear was Liu Qi's approaching footsteps.
Suddenly, Gu Weizhi's feet were empty and he fell into a hidden cave.
He rolled down the slope and finally fell heavily at the bottom of the cave. His consciousness began to fade, and at the last moment before he fell into darkness, he saw Liu Qi's figure appear at the entrance of the cave, and the blood-stained scimitar flashed a cold light in the moonlight.
