Chapter 243 Falling Into Ice Water
Realizing that this was a great opportunity to fall from the sky, the spy didn't dare to delay for a moment. He slid to the center of the lake amidst the frolicking courtiers, and secretly used his internal force to shake the ice out of cracks. Li Palace is a spy, and has survived to this day. Naturally, he is not an idler. With deep internal strength, the spy successfully shook the ice surface into uniform cracks. The cracks are extremely fine. If you don't check carefully, you won't be able to detect that someone has tampered with it. , but the ability to bear the weight is greatly reduced. Ordinary skaters can still pass through normally, but if something happens and someone falls on the ice with force, it will inevitably shatter the ice and then fall into the icy lake.

The first step has been done, and next, he only needs to let Qu Lingxu fall heavily on the ice in the center of the lake, and then he can successfully complete the task that Qi Qingyan gave.

It seemed that God really wanted to stand on the side of the spies. Within a quarter of an hour, Baili Yiqing dragged Qu Lingxu to the center of the lake. Baili Yiqing was a caring boy who had nothing for Qu Lingxu. With skating experience, he deliberately walked very slowly, and used his small body to block Qu Lingxu in front of him, so that he could be supported immediately when the other party was about to fall, and taught Qu Lingxu some skating skills from time to time.

"Sister Xu, don't worry. Sliding requires speed. We walk very slowly. If we don't have speed, we won't fall." After explaining this, Baili Yiqing stretched out his arms and tried to follow Qu Lingxu Pulling away some distance, she said with a smile: "Sister, try to slide, slide to my side."

Like most people, Qu Lingxu's fear of ice skating is entirely due to "being bitten by a snake once, and being afraid of well ropes for ten years", so she has been afraid to touch it, but after stepping on the ice bravely, she However, she found miraculously that this sense of fear was much less than before. She was not a person who was timid, and she didn't want a child like Baili Yiqing to feel that she was weak, so she simply tried to take a little bigger steps. Some, and slid two steps forward.

"Yes, yes, that's it." Seeing that Qu Lingxu was sliding very well, the smile on Baili Yiqing's face became brighter, and he stepped back rhythmically so that Qu Lingxu could slide forward.

If this continues, Qu Lingxu should be able to learn to skate soon. However, how can the spies hiding in the dark let them be so relaxed? Waiting for the right time, he quietly put the small white jade beads hidden in his sleeve Throwing it out, the little jade bead slid straight towards the ice surface where Qu Lingxu was, and landed on the skates under her feet impartially.

"Ah..." Suddenly losing his balance, Qu Lingxu fell to the left uncontrollably. Seeing that Qu Lingxu's slipperiness improved, Baili Yiqing's hand loosened a lot, and he only gently Hooking her fingers, in such a situation, it was too late to support her, and he could only watch her fall heavily.

But Baili Yiqing wasn't too worried, as Qu Lingxu said before, when learning to skate, how can anyone not fall?
However, such a relaxed thought only lasted for a short moment, and Baili Yiqing soon realized the danger, because as Qu Lingxu fell onto the ice, the originally transparent ice made a heavy creaking sound, and then , Cracks quickly spread to the surroundings, and even the skates on the feet couldn't help shaking.

not good!

"Sister Xu, the ice layer is cracked, don't move, don't move!" At the critical moment, Baili Yiqing didn't slide to a safe place by himself, but stood where he was, watching nervously. With Qu Lingxu.

She heard from her brother that when the ice layer breaks, the more you try to struggle to get up, the more you will gather the weight of your whole body in one place, which will become the last straw to break the ice layer!
Even an eight-year-old child understands the truth, Qu Lingxu understands it, but unlike Baili Yiqing, she is very clear that this is not an accident, but someone else's plan, since it is a plan, then the person Never let her have a chance to escape.

She was careless, and she really shouldn't have put herself in such a dangerous situation.

Things have already happened, and it is useless to think about what is there and what is not. Therefore, the emotion of regret only flashed in Qu Lingxu's mind for a moment, and then he was thrown out of the sky, and immediately he quickly thought about the countermeasures.

Breaking the ice layer always needs a process. As long as she uses her internal strength to slightly affect her body and prevent the ice surface from bearing too much gravity, she may still have a chance to escape.

However, Qu Lingxu still underestimated the speed of the spy's reaction. Seeing him lying motionless on the ice, he quickly picked up a palace servant beside him, and the two of them slid towards the cracked ice area with lightning speed. Go, and then, with the muffled sound of the palace man's body falling heavily, a hole was smashed out of the ice, and the man also fell into the icy artificial lake, and he didn't know if he was alive or not.

All of this happened in a blink of an eye, and when Ling Yun stepped forward to stop it, regardless of the danger of revealing his identity, it was too late, and the spy fought with him in order to prevent Ling Yun from going to rescue Qu Lingxu, it was very difficult to distinguish The power of brotherhood.

"Sister Xu, come quickly!" Seeing that the ice under Qu Lingxu was about to crack completely, Baili Yiqing didn't know where the courage came from, so he took a quick step forward, grabbed Qu Lingxu's hand, and wanted to Pull it to the ice in front of you.

In fact, at that time, Qu Lingxu had recovered from the initial panic. Although she couldn't skate, she was very good at swimming. As long as there were no martial arts masters ambushing in the water, even if she fell into it, she could swim along the water Going to a place where the ice surface is stable will not cut off life, but Baili Yiqing's action will not only fail to save Qu Lingxu, but will also put both of them in a dangerous situation, because she can't swim!

"Go!" Qu Lingxu wanted to use the buoyancy of the broken ice to prop up his body, but being pulled by Baili Yiqing, he missed the best time.

"I'm not leaving, I want to save my sister!" Baili Yiqing stubbornly wanted to pull Qu Lingxu up, but he didn't realize that the ice cubes under her own feet were gradually breaking apart.

"Princess! Princess, come quickly!" Seeing this scene, the palace servants on the shore couldn't help being dumbfounded. They wanted to come over to help, but they were afraid that the ice surface would be more resistant and the ice would break faster, so they had to stop Call Baili Yiqing to go back from the shore.

They didn't care about Qu Lingxu's life or death at all, but if something happened to Baili Yiqing, according to the temperament of Emperor Beili, none of them present could escape the fate of being executed.

Everyone's heart was raised in their throats, and some were timid, even their legs were weak, and they couldn't even stand upright.

Qu Lingxu's mood was the same as that of the palace people on the shore, wishing to beg her grandpa to tell her grandma to let Baili Yiqing leave, but the little princess Baili Yiqing is really not a person who covets life and fears death, she just wants to save her, there is no way to save her Come up, just die with Qu Lingxu.

……

It seems that today is destined to be a drowned rat.

"Ah... Sister Xu, what should I do if I fall, what should I do..." At this moment, Baili Yiqing could feel the ice shaking under his feet, and couldn't help crying out in pain.

"Don't be afraid, you'll be fine." It's completely impossible for Baili Yiqing to leave now, but Qu Lingxu knows very well that she can fall into the water by herself, but Baili Yiqing, who can't swim, is Absolutely not, thinking that the other party is desperately trying to save herself, even disregarding her own safety, Qu Lingxu's heart swayed, pouring all the internal energy that could be called into her fingers, and at the moment the ice under the other party's feet broke, she suddenly exerted force , and push it out a few meters away.

Under such a strong force, it is inevitable that Baili Yiqing will suffer some injuries, but compared to being drowned after falling into the water, or suffering from the pain of wind and cold invading the body, some minor injuries to the flesh are negligible.

After Baili Yiqing's small body drew an arc in the air, he fell to the ice several meters away. Seeing this, the palace officials who were worried that Baili Yiqing's accident would be implicated breathed a sigh of relief. The one even rushed over immediately and helped him up.

"Sister Xu! Save Sister Xu!" Baili Yiqing stood up with the help of the palace servants. When he turned around and looked back, Qu Lingxu had already fallen into the lake.

"Yes!" Although the palace people agreed in this way, they felt troubled in their hearts. Beili is located in a mountainous plateau area. When it comes to horseback riding and archery, everyone is good at it, but few people understand water. The water here is five or six meters deep, and no one dares to go down there even in scorching summer, let alone such a bitterly cold winter.

Rather than saving lives, it is better to say that it is death.

"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and save sister Xu, if you can't save sister Xu, this princess is asking you!" Baili Yiqing saw that the palace people looked at each other, but there was no one to act, he couldn't help but yelled again.

As for Ling Xiao, although he gradually gained the upper hand in the fight, the spy was determined to take Qu Lingxu's life, regardless of the serious injuries on his body, and vowed to drag Ling Xiao to the death to prevent him from getting away.

Fortunately, Qu Lingxu was not too dependent. After falling into the water, the bitingly cold water made her shiver suddenly, and her body was about to shrink into a ball subconsciously. Fortunately, she had tried winter swimming in modern times. Only twice, but she still has a little understanding of the basic precautions, so she endured the biting cold, gritted her teeth and forced herself to stretch her legs and feet. Because the ancient clothes on her body were too in the way, she took off her coat decisively and tried her best Swim to the ice.

"Sister! Sister!" Seeing Qu Lingxu finally sticking her head out of the water, Baili Yiqing's big eyes full of tears flickered, and choked up and shouted: "Hurry up, pull my sister up!"

Under Baili Yiqing's order again, a smart palace man finally found a thick stick, handed it far to the break in the ice layer, and raised his voice: "Princess, hold on to the stick, and the servant will pull you up!" They were unwilling to step forward to pull Qu Lingxu, but the fracture was extremely dangerous, and no one knew whether they could bear the weight of two people.
