Chapter 689: The Kindness of Women (2)
The assassin struggled on the ground, and suddenly showed a look of despair, "I said, yes... yes..."

After he hesitated twice, he couldn't make any more sound.

Ning Chu's eyes narrowed slightly, and his gentle voice revealed a trace of regret, "I actually forgot to prevent him from biting his tongue and committing suicide."

Dongfang Yu leaned down and observed the assassin carefully for a while, "You have already sealed his big acupoints, but if you want to ask his confession, of course you can't seal his dumb acupoints, this cannot be prevented."

Ning Chu is silent, in fact, he also knows the rules of these assassins, the failure of the mission does not necessarily mean death, but if he misses and is captured, he must die.If you refuse to commit suicide, once someone from the organization finds out, your fate will be many times worse than death.

"Let's go." Dongfang Yu retracted his gaze, looked at the gradually dimming sunlight, and said calmly.

Ning Chu nodded slightly, and silently looked at the assassin again.

Dongfang Yu believes that Ning Chu understands the strange actions of these assassins, but she doesn't ask if he doesn't tell them.

Maybe who is the person behind the assassin, Ning Chu actually knew it already.

Obviously, those assassins must have discovered their tracks long ago, but waited patiently until Dongfang Yu was alone before acting; their purpose was not to alarm Ning Chu, nor did they want to hurt Ning Chu; they just wanted Dongfang Yu's life .

Dongfang Yu watched Ning Chu's slender shadow gradually fade in the sunlight, and sighed softly in his heart.

It seems that Jiaoyue Palace is also a bottomless pool of muddy water.

The person who wanted her to die but didn't want to hurt Ning Chu might be the one who poisoned Emperor Jiaoyue; because once the emperor died, Ning Chu, as the crown prince, would naturally inherit the throne.

Ning Chu seemed to be immersed in his own thoughts, his usual gentle and smiling expression turned slightly cold, and there was a hint of worry that seemed to be absent between his brows.

The footsteps were also speeding up unconsciously, so fast that he forgot to wait for the girl who couldn't keep up behind him.

Fortunately, he rushed out of the mountain peaks and saw the winding official road.

But the official road is just an official road, and there are no people around, nor any cars or horses passing by.

Ning Chu and Dongfang Yu looked at each other silently, feeling a little helpless, so they had no choice but to continue walking along the official road.

"Ning Chu, I think we should find a chance to rest for a night. If we go on like this, we don't know when we will see a place with people."

The girl frowned, stopped, bent down and pinched her legs vigorously, pretending to be very tired.

In fact, in her heart, she was worried that Ning Chu's injury would not be able to bear it.He was injured on the sole of his foot. Even though he was in shackles now, he could walk for a long time. For his feet, there was no rest at all, and the possibility of the wound opening again was extremely high.

Well, maybe his wound has already opened, but Ning Chu will never show it anyway. This person's gentle temper and detached attitude, no matter how much pain he suffers, he will definitely endure it silently.

The girl thought so, and then she glanced at Ning Chu's injured foot.

At a glance, she felt that his posture was indeed a bit weird, and she found it awkward no matter how she looked at it.

"Ning Chu, tell me honestly, is the wound on the bottom of your foot open again?" The girl suppressed her sweet smile, her bright eyes filled with irresistible seriousness.

Ning Chu looked sideways, looked at her calmly, and said with a slight smile, "You think too much, my feet are fine."

"Well, I know there's an inn not far ahead, we'd better work harder and get to the front and find time."

His elegant eyes lightly fell on her slender face stained with the wind and frost, and there was a trace of pity in his eyes.

"It's really not cracked?" The girl frowned and looked at him with wide eyes. Her sideways angle clearly showed that she didn't believe him.

As for what Ning Chu said that there was an inn not far ahead, she didn't listen to it. Anyway, she was used to this kind of hard outdoor life with the wind and rain these days.

"Really." Ning Chu turned around and looked at her with sincere and bright eyes, "If you don't believe me, I can take off my boots and let you check the wound yourself."

As he spoke, he raised his foot and made a gesture to take off his boots.

Dongfang Yu sighed softly.

The more Ning Chu behaved like this, the more he showed that he was lying.

Since he thinks it is bearable and doesn't want her to worry, then she will fulfill his white lie.

The girl raised her eyebrows and smiled slightly, but the smile was a bit weird and cold, and said: "Forget it, since you said that there is no crack, then I will believe you."

"Well, didn't you say there is an inn ahead? Let's go quickly."

The girl said, and took the lead in walking forward.Ning Chu fell behind her, seeing her pretending to be relaxed, felt a little lost in his heart.

Dongfang Yu left for more than half an hour, and he still didn't find the shadow of Ning Chu's so-called inn.

Only then did she deeply realize that a person who can lie calmly is a really good skill.

Ning Chu said that the front is not far away, and he let her walk for more than half an hour without seeing the shadow. If he said it was far away, she estimated that she might have to walk for a few days to finish the calculation.

However, at this time, even though she was complaining in her heart, she couldn't show it on the surface; because she actually knew that the reason why Ning Chu refused to let her sleep in the wilderness was entirely for the sake of her body.

Dongfang Yu gritted his teeth secretly, gritted his teeth again, and said sadly to himself, keep working hard, and hope that Ning Chu is not far away, and it really is not far away now.

Ning Chu looked at the girl who was obviously tired, but was holding on to the relaxed and leisurely girl, with her long eyelashes hidden, a silent sigh came from her heart, it was a sigh of pity.

The long sleeves were raised quietly, and his slender hands, like the darkness covering the sky, gently stroked the girl's thin shoulders, helping her with his steady arms.

"Xiaoyu, turn around another hill, and you will arrive at a town. There is indeed an inn there." The young man Yanjue said lightly, using his gentle voice to hide his silent care.

Dongfangyu's attention was successfully diverted by his words.

At the moment, I don't feel exhausted all over my body, nor do I feel that the road ahead is long and long.

A smile crept up her brows, and her tiredness disappeared instantly and silently. Her eyes were shining brightly like a lamp, staring at the road ahead.

The voice was slightly joyful and excited, and said with a smile: "Really, it can be counted."

The young man who put his light hand on her shoulders to pass her strength, saw her bright and bright smile like a lamp, and suddenly felt that the deep chill in the dark night was dispelled by her bright smile.

Even the heart is warmed up.

He slightly hooked his lips, and smiled faintly, "Well, I've stayed in that place before."
