I married an exasperating eunuch Chapter 80 part 1

Chapter 80 The separation (1)

Am I going to die?

Chen Hui looked at the unending stream of attack that was falling from the sky. Suddenly she felt the absurd feeling of not being involved in this. Time even became slower in this feeling of not being in the sense of reality.

When she saw an arrow hit a soldier, the passage of time instantly returned to normal. She even felt a sense of dizziness caused by the sudden slow speed of time. Seeing Li Youde jump out of the carriage, she also quickly jumped down too.

Being suddenly ambushed, this troop has long become disorderly. Escorting Li Youde back to Fanyang wasn’t something very dangerous. There weren’t many veterans among the soldiers that Lang Yu sent to do the job. The moment they encountered such a sudden occurrence, they couldn’t even bring out an effective resistance. They were broken down and scattered.

Soldiers fleeing in all directions rushed past the two. Li Youde was guarded by Ah Da and Ah Er and run for a moment while being pushed. However, Chen Hui had been pushed away by a panicked soldier and hit a big stone blocking the road. As soon as her senses returned, she saw an arrow shoot her at her side. The metal of the arrow hit the stone with a clang as if a hammer fiercely hit her heart. After she hugged her head with her hands and hid behind the stone, she avoided the rain of arrows.

Except for the assassination attempt on the emperor last time and he became the meat shield, this was the most flustered and helpless time that Li Youde had experienced in recent years. When he got out of the carriage, he remembered taking a look at Chen Hui and saw her following. So, he hurriedly ran forward. However, when he turned around again, there was not even a shadow of her.

“Lady Chen?” Li Youde stopped abruptly and looked back blankly.

“Lord! Quickly leave!” Ah Da hurriedly pulled Li Youde. At this moment, it wasn’t the right time to blank out.

“Where is Lady Chen?” Li Youde asked sharply, “Where is she?”

Ah Da was dumbstruck and saw an arrow suddenly shooting straight at this side. He hurriedly pulled Li Youde, just to avoid the arrow. Li Youde’s expression changed and he quickly took a step back.

Ah Da said, “Lord, it is too dangerous here! Lady Chen may have long ago run away with the people and got separated from you. Let’s run away too!”

“That is right, lord. Quickly, let’s also quickly run! When we are safe, we can look for Lady Chen!” Ah Er said on the side and he also didn’t care about his status and identity anymore. After exchanging a glance with Ah Da, they hurriedly pulled Li Youde and fled.

Li Youde was dragged and he staggered, but at this moment he could care less about scolding the two. He looked back once more and still didn’t see Chen Hui. He thought that she had probably escaped first. Even though there was a faint anxiety in his heart, but at this time when he could die any time, he had to resort to fleeing.

Chen Hui didn’t know for how long she waited behind the stone. The noises gradually became less. Then, she heard a few words that she didn’t understand.

Was…this the language of the Xi tribe?

She didn’t know where the others went. She also couldn’t think of a way about how to escape. Perhaps, it was because of fear that she was stiff and unable to move. She even wanted to close her eyes and pretend that it was just a nightmare.

Intermittent groans could be heard. Chen Hui’s fleeting train of thought told her that these were the injured soldiers. She also heard those laughing voices getting closer. Chen Hui slid down to the ground and faced the stone. Her whole body curled up and huddled together.

I’m a corpse, you cannot see me. I’m a corpse, you cannot see me…

Chen Hui silently muttered in her heart. She didn’t dare to breathe too soundly.

The noisy footsteps gradually approached. Chen Hui heard someone enter the carriage not far away from her. That was Li Youde’s luxurious carriage. They have spent nearly ten days and nights on there. Now, the good things in the carriage would probably be snatched away by them. She hoped that it was to their satisfaction and leave happily so that she could go look for Li Youde…Did he escape? Has he been caught? With his -greedy-for-life, -afraid-of-death nature, what would he do if he has been caught? Would it be like how she had dreamt before about him being dragged to the confrontation of the two armies and being sacrificed? She wondered what the Xi tribe thought of eunuchs. She hopes that they don’t treat him as contemptuously as the officials of Great Liang. If it was like that, he could only hold it even if he was angry. He would explode from anger…

Chen Hui thought about too many things. She suddenly smelled the strong blood smell. At the same time, a scream went into her ear. Her heart skipped a beat and she suddenly had a bad premonition. She couldn’t care about hiding herself anymore and hurriedly turned her head to look. Ten steps away, a sturdy man was pulling out a spear from the chest of a soldier lying on the ground.

This, this was finishing off a wounded combatant!

Chen Hui knew that her plan of pretending to be dead wouldn’t be successful. Her body was completely clean and was the first choice to be finished off!

So…do they accept captives? Better a bad life than a good death. Also, if she is captured, Li Youde would definitely find a way to get her back, right?

As the man gradually approached, Chen Hui was afraid that he would suddenly start playing the javelin. She didn’t dare to delay any longer. So, she straightened her body and raised her hands.

Due to Chen Hui’s big movements, that person naturally noticed her. He first clenched the spear in his hand and stared at her vigilantly. After making sure that she was thin and frail and didn’t have any fighting spirit, he walked over. On the young and handsome face, a pair of beast-like eyes stared at her. He used not proficient Great Liang’s language and said, “You, a soldier?”

Chen Hui quickly shook her head, “I’m only someone who served people…”

“Serve?” The man asked and squinted his eyes in confusion.

Chen Hui said, “Servant…manservant…slave…”

“Oh…slave,” That man said understandingly.

Then, he raised the spear in his hand.

Chen Hui’s eyes widened suddenly. She hurriedly crawled to the side. How could this person use violence the moment they clashed verbally? Couldn’t they have a nice talk?!

Perceiving the sudden sound of the wind coming from behind, Chen Hui didn’t have time to turn her head. She loosened her hands and lay down. She was a bit slower after all. The spear pierced her hair bun and slammed into the mud with the same force. Her whole body was pulled by the force and she was pressed to the ground. Her scalp was also pulled and it hurt.

“Hahaha…,” The man’s wild laughter came from behind. He walked to her, grabbed the spear and laughed, “Great Liang’s people, timid!”

Chen Hui’s beating heart hasn’t slowed down. She suddenly understood that it was not that she reacted quickly and avoided the mortal spear. Instead, it was that the other party didn’t intend to kill her at all.

The man came over, bent, grabbed Chen Hui’s arm and pulled her up. He was very tall, almost about two meters. His body was strong like a hill. She couldn’t even think of resistance with him standing so close in front of her. She could only obediently be a prisoner. Perhaps, she might still live then, if she resisted even the slightest, she might annoy the opponent and get herself killed directly!

After Chen Hui made up her mind, she was quiet like a chicken. The next moment, she noticed that something has fallen from her head. She glanced over, only to realize that it was her long hair that she had originally made into a bun. When she was nailed to the ground by the spear, her hairpin had shattered into two pieces and could no longer hold her long hair together.

The waist-length hair fell like a waterfall. The man looked at her in surprise and suddenly said, “Woman?”

“No, no, I’m a eunuch!” Chen Hui said quickly, “That is a man who doesn’t have that little stick!

The man frowned and thought about it. It was unknown whether he didn’t understand what she said or something else. The hand that was holding the spear threw hard and the spear was firmly stuck on the ground. Then he reached over with his free hand.

Chen Hui saw that the other person’s hand was coming to her chest. She hurriedly wrapped her hands around her chest and shouted, “Don’t touch me. My master is willing to pay a great price to redeem me!”

The man was dumbstruck. Then, he laughed loudly. He easily pulled Chen Hui’s two hands, twisted them behind her back and held them with one hand. As a result, she had to raise her chest. Her bulging chest could no longer be hidden.
