Yunshang selected ten subordinates who performed well on weekdays, and then remembered to ask King Jing, "Uncle Emperor, didn't you say that the dense forest on Qilin Mountain is full of miasma? How do we get in?"
Prince Jing took out the map, pointed to a cut-off place in Qilin Mountain, and said, "This is a river, so we can go up along the river."
Yunshang was stunned, took the map and looked at it for a while, "If this river can go up the mountain, why are there still so few records about this area on this map? It didn't say the width of the river, nor the terrain along the way... "
"Because there is a cliff on the mountainside of this river, and the water falls down to form a waterfall. The cliff is hundreds of feet high, and there is no place to borrow strength. It takes someone with extremely high martial arts and internal strength to go up." Prince Jing said. His expression was calm and authentic.
"..." Yunshang turned her head and looked at the ten people who had stayed behind, before she said, "No wonder, you didn't order any subordinates..." She couldn't help but slander, "Why didn't you say it earlier..."
However, before turning around, another very important thing came to mind, "You said just now that you need a person with extremely high martial arts skills, but you also need internal strength? Then you must have deep internal strength?"
King Jing nodded, and then heard Yun Shang's strangely calm voice, "But, I don't have internal strength."
Although Yunshang thinks her martial arts are not bad, she really has no internal strength. Her body is not suitable for cultivating internal strength, so she only uses medicinal materials to improve her aptitude, and even light work is a bit reluctant.
Prince Jing didn't think about it, he really felt that she didn't seem to have internal strength before, but seeing that her martial arts were as steady as light ones, he thought that her martial arts practiced something unique.
Prince Jing was silent for a while, before saying, "If there is a place on the cliff, I can take you up, but..."
"It's okay, let's go and have a look first." Yun Shang stood up, led the horse and was about to set off.
"It's not the time yet. We haven't covered up our tracks. Even if Xia Houjing doesn't know it's us, he must know that a stranger has come to Taoxi Village. He will definitely increase his vigilance. I'm afraid we have been targeted. We want to To go up the mountain, you have to go around in a circle and shake off the tail behind you." Prince Jing sat on the ground, his movements were all casual.
Yun Shang nodded, feeling a little annoyed in her heart, it seemed that when Prince Jing was around, she didn't like to bother thinking about anything.
Fortunately, the secret guard is best at hiding his tracks. After a while, only Yunshang and King Jing were left in place. As the sky gradually darkened, King Jing stood up and said, "I'll go first." Bring some wild game, and be careful yourself."
Yunshang responded, watched King Jing leave, stood up and found some branches around, ready to light a fire, but found that she didn't bring flint, Yunshang gave a wry smile, and sat down against a tree. , tonight, I can only spend here.
Fortunately, King Jing didn't go there for a long time, and after a while, he came back with two pheasants. He lit a fire very skillfully, lifted the chicken to the side of the stream to clean it up, walked back, pierced the chicken with a branch, put it on the fire and roasted it.
"I feel like I'm starting to drag you down." Yun Shang said with a smile. Although she has learned a lot over the years, she has never been short of food and clothing, nor has she really thrown herself into the wilderness I have experienced it, so, in fact, many things are just on paper. When I actually met them, I realized that I was really useless.
Luo Qingyan raised his eyes and looked at Yunshang, "You have advantages that others don't have. I remember that you know some medical skills, which means that you can identify those grasses that are poisonous and those grasses that are not poisonous. I always feel that , although the miasma is poisonous, everything in the world always generates and restrains each other. If there is miasma, there should be a place nearby that can cure the poison of the miasma. The advantage of the soldiers of the Xia Kingdom is that they are not afraid of these miasmas. If you can research, how to cure the poison of the miasma , it’s a great achievement.”
Yun Shang smiled slightly, "Although I know you are comforting me, it is very useful."
King Jing roasted the pheasant, then tore off a chicken leg and handed it to Yunshang. Yunshang took it, took a bite, and felt a scent spread between his lips and teeth, although it was tasteless, But what is rare is that the original flavor is preserved.
After eating, the two leaned against the tree to rest.
The night gradually deepened, and between half-dream and half-awake, Yunshang suddenly heard a rustling sound, Yunshang woke up suddenly, but did not open her eyes, she just retracted her right hand into her sleeve, where she lay The customary silver needle.
But her left hand slowly stretched out and moved towards her side quietly. If she remembered correctly, Prince Jing was on her left. Yun Chang first touched King Jing's sword, then moved up quietly, and then touched a slightly cool hand. That hand held Yun Shang's hand backwards, and wrote two words on Yun Shang's palm, someone.
Yun Chang's heart immediately settled down a bit, he was awake. Yunshang also felt that the surrounding guards were all on guard, so she felt more at ease.
A sharp whistling sound rang out, causing Yun Chang to feel pain in his ears. Thinking that the other party must have made such a big noise, he must want to alarm them, so he simply opened his eyes, but there was darkness around him. A lacquer article, not even moonlight.
In the distance, a snow-white dress suddenly floated over. The dress seemed to be luminous, reflecting the blue face of the person above the dress, with white eyes, and floated towards Yunshang.
Before Yun Chang could react, she heard a sudden scream from behind, "Ah... there is a ghost..."
The voice was very familiar to Yun Chang.
Yun Chang was shocked, but before she could react, she was dragged by King Jing and ran towards the road outside the small forest. King Jing was still yelling, "Ah, ghost, ghost, run, There is a ghost..."
Yun Chang paused, then staggered and ran out following Prince Jing's footsteps. The two ran for a long distance before Prince Jing stopped, turned around and looked in the direction of Taoxi Village. It was pitch black, but he couldn't see anything.
Yun Shang turned her head to look at King Jing, only seeing a vague outline.
However, Prince Jing seemed to know that she was looking at him, and said softly, "The people in Taoxi Village may not be able to guess the identities of the two of us for a while. They are afraid that we will stay, but they don't want to attract the attention of the government by killing us. , That’s why they used such trickery to frighten us.”
Yun Chang nodded, "The man was sprinkled with powder from fireflies." After a pause, he said, "That's fine, it means that Xia Houjing didn't notice us, and the people in Taoxi Village saw us If we leave, we should not follow up again, just in time, we just need a reason to get out."
"Let's go. The pass is one hundred and twenty miles to the west. We rode across the night, and we should be able to arrive at dawn." King Jing's voice was very soft, so soft that Yun Shang felt that it seemed to bring It's kind of gentle.
Prince Jing whistled, Yun Shang saw two horses running towards her from a distance, Yun Shang smiled and led her horse, "This horse is quite obedient."
"This horse is called Caiyun. It's a mare. It should be docile. It's a good match with me, Zhuiyun. I wanted to give it to you." Prince Jing said softly, and got on the horse, "Let's go."
Yun Chang hadn't digested what he just said, when he heard the sound of his royal horse setting off, Yun Shang didn't care about wild thoughts, got on the horse quickly, patted the horse, and the colorful cloud quickly ran up towards King Jing.
It was almost the same as Prince Jing had expected, and the two of them had already arrived at the location on the map in about ten hours. Yun Chang frowned and looked at the hundreds of feet high waterfall in front of her, frowning slightly, because the cliff wall was very smooth because of being washed by water all year round. On both sides of the waterfall, there is a dense forest filled with miasma.
Yun Shang looked at the waterfall for a while, but finally shook her head and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to go up."
King Jing nodded. He had only heard about it from the hidden guard before, and he hadn't seen it himself. Now it seems that he would be very reluctant to go up alone. If he brought Yunshang with him, both of them would have to fall. die.
Yunshang stood in the deep pool under the waterfall and looked back and forth for a long time before pointing to a tree next to the top of the waterfall, "If you find a rope this long and tie it there, I can climb up .Not only can I go up, but my ten hidden guards can also go up."
King Jing looked at it for a while, nodded, and ordered people to prepare the rope, but the nearest town is a hundred miles away, and it takes another day to go back and forth.
When the dark guard came back, it was already midnight, but he couldn't see it in the middle of the night, and Yun Chang was not sure, so he found a place to rest first, and the next day just dawned, everyone got up.
Prince Jing flew up to the top of the cliff with one body, and with the other body, he was Baizhang. Yun Chang was dumbfounded. She always knew that Prince Jing's martial arts were extremely high, but she didn't expect it to be so powerful. Odds.
King Jing tied the rope to the tree that Yunshang mentioned, checked it once, and then nodded. The tree was at least a century old tree, growing on the edge of the cliff, with some branches sticking out. Prince Jing used it to tie the rope. The branches are also about the thickness of the mouth of a bowl, so it shouldn't be a problem to bear the weight of a person.
Yun Chang jumped into the water, swam to the rope, tied the rope around her waist, held the rope with both hands, and climbed up. The cliff was too slippery, and Yun Chang couldn't support it with her feet, so she had to rely on the strength of the rope to move up bit by bit. Seeing this, Prince Jing frowned, the cliff was hundreds of feet high, climbing up like this would definitely hurt his hand for quite a while.
With a thought, he used some internal strength to lift the rope up. Yunshang was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, and it wasn't too difficult for King Jing to mention it. After about an hour, Yunshang also reached the top of the cliff.
Just as the two breathed a sigh of relief, they heard voices coming from the dense forest beside them. Yunshang and Prince Jing were startled, and they glanced at each other before burying their bodies in the bottom of the water.
