ZHAO JUREN'S LAST LOVE
CHAPTER 19. Saving Two Faces

"I won't let go next time, remember that!!!" Lin Hongse turned around and a moment later he disappeared behind the trees, leaving in a flash.

A moment later the atmosphere was silent, Lin Hongse disappeared like a ghost in the darkness, among the trees.

"Go, before I change my mind." Sighed the girl named Xue Xue from behind her veil.

"Where?" Zhao Juren instead casually asked, making Xue Xue undo her intention to turn around following towards Lin Hongse's disappearance.

"Go back to your country. Get off this land, before Nan's men find you."Sahut Xue Xue with a huffed tone.

"I've guessed that I've kidnapped someone to this Niangxi country. But I don't understand, a girl abducts a dying man, I don't know why." Zhao Juren chuckled.

"It's not appropriate that you say that, Mr. Zhao. You should even thank me for saving you with all the risks you don't know." Grunts Xue Xue, her voice sounded fierce.

"I never asked you to do it, Miss Xue Xue, or your entaj named that princess Xue Lian or..." Zhao Juren smiled in a dim tone.

The veiled Xue fell silent like a statue in a few jokes, as if waiting for a follow-up to the glaring sentence from Zhao Juren's lips. But the sentence just hangs, there is no follow-up. Zhao Juren was truly an experienced person toying with people's emotions.

"I have no interest in saving anyone, let alone one from the enemy's side." His legs were sharp then, a little stirring.

"But..."

Not yet had Xue Xue continued her sentence, the boisterous sounds and the roar of horses from a distance made the two of them look at each other.

"Come..." Xue Xue fingers suddenly grabbed onto Zhao Juren's arm, but Zhao Juren's casual look didn't budge.

"What's wrong?" He even raised his sword-like eyebrows, as if he had heard nothing.

"Follow me." Xue Xue replied.

"Why?"

"You want them to find us?"

"Who?"

"Don't pretend to be stupid!"

Roughly Xue Xue pulled Zhao Juren's arm, now at the energy aertai. If Zhao Juren put up a fight, Zhao Juren's power was much stronger. But Zhao Juren let him.

At least he managed to make the girl no longer leave him carelessly.

Zhao Juren was very curious, the identity of this mysterious girl who desperately wanted to save him.

In an instant Zhao Juren's huge tall body was pulled by Xue Xue through the darkness of night, flashed among the trees that stood like a shadow in dimness.

...***...

Somehow li they ran away from the edge of the five-colored lake towards the north away from the horde of horsemen who seemed to be looking for something. After a drink of tea, Xue Xue stopped her steps, her black robe that was originally waving against the night wind became stiff. They were on a plain that looked taller than anywhere else.

Xue Xue Xue's breathing was not at all stingy, as it should be the person who had been running for so long, she almost seemed to be drifting signifying the lightening science of her body was not playful.

"Who are they?" Zhao Juren pointed into the distance precisely at the edge of the five-colored lake, about twenty people were like black dots right where Zhao Juren's boat was moored.

"They're like special forces..."

"They are Niangxi's soldiers." Suhut Xue Xue, short. Zhao Juren turned to the woman standing next to him. Her slender body was, wrapped in a black robe. So mysterious, the veil partially covered his face, only his eyes were glowing clear.

Zhao Juren was very intrigued to see as beautiful as what it looked like behind it.

"I know very well now that I'm in the land of Niang, which I don't understand, why did you take me all the way here?"

"I don't like to answer a lot of questions." The voice was flat only, Xue Xue Xue shot out quickly.

"But I like to ask..." Zhao Juren chuckled again, slightly teasing the girl.

"Why don't you put up a fight when Hongse wants to kill you?" Xue Xue asked as if she wanted to switch the conversation.

"Because I know, I won't die at his hands." Zhao Juren replied with confidence.

"You're overconfident, Hongse isn't a fool even his green centipede needles almost took your life."

"I know he seriously wanted to kill me, but..." Zhao Juren glanced towards Xue Xue while grinning.

"I also know very well, the person standing behind that old Willow pihon would definitely not let me die just like that after he desperately saved me in these past three months." Zhao Juren smiled widely with a satisfied grin.

If the day was not too dark, and Xue Xue Xue's face was not shielded by her veil, Zhao Juren could see Xue's pias becoming red, as red as a houyun blooming.

"You're really overconfident, it's just a coincidence." Xue Xue flicked her robe in annoyance, she was ashamed of herself when she found out that Zhao Juren had only trapped her out of hiding.

"I take you to the edge of this forest, then walk north, through two villages, if you can avoid settlements. Later you will meet a river whose bridge is cut off. I told someone to wait for you there. Just tell me you want to cross. He'll understand." Xue Xue's voice was in order, her eyes sharply staring towards Zhao Juren. Obviously, this girl has no fear.

"I'll go alone? aren't you worried that the green guy won't tail me and kill me?" Zhao Juren asked half-jokingly.

"I know very well your abilities, dear Lord Zhao, you have been playing me since then, not that I don't know. Now, I don't want to serve you anymore. Just go home, when we meet next I hope we can fight as enemies on the battlefield." Xue Xue stood like a statue, her robe flying in the sudden low-slung night wind.

"I don't know why you're doing everything, miss. But, I believe destiny brought us together." Zhao Juren finally replied seriously.

"But it is not an honor for a soldier to be saved by his own enemy, I am not entirely grateful for that. Deep down, I felt humiliated. I don't know, I'd rather just die then, maybe better." Just this time after a long time, Zhao Juren returned to herself, becoming cold and flat.

"Your destiny didn't die the way it did in your ass, Mr. Zhao." Xue Xue Xue's voice sounded faint.

"Everyone will remember you nobly if you die in the enemy's nest with your buttocks. And forever, Niang's army will be humbled because of it. At least, I've done the right thing to save two faces." Continue to Xue Xue.

Zhao Juren did not reply, she looked at Xue Xue fixedly as if she wanted to pierce through the girl's veil.

"Can I ask you one thing?" Suddenly Xue Xue asked, in a choked voice.

"What?"

"Are you really dreaming of Xue Lian?"
