In the desert for several days, the group of people didn't have a good meal. They decided to pick some fruits in Xuelong Mountain, and it would be best if they could hunt a few birds and beasts for meat. Those subordinates were revived with full blood, and went up the mountain to look for ingredients alive and well.
Ghosting and Qin Ruo went to collect firewood to make a fire together, and Yuwen Zhantian picked up some stones and piled them up to make a fire later.
Murong Ci wanted to help, but Murong Yu stopped her and asked her to rest.
"Is it better?" Yuwen Zhantian asked with concern while busy.
"Ben Gong is fine. Don't treat Ben Gong as a delicate person." She stood up suddenly, shook her head, and felt dizzy.
Murong Yu immediately helped her sit down, and said softly, "You'd better be obedient. I'll heat up the pancakes for you to eat later."
She nodded, okay, let's rest then.
Not long after, those subordinates returned with a full load and said excitedly: "My lord, my subordinates and others shot some birds and picked some fruits. Originally, this subordinate wanted to hunt some rabbits and wild ducks, but I didn't see any of them."
"Enough. We still have a lot of dry food." Yuwen Zhantian said with a smile.
"We're back." It was Ghost who spoke.
But seeing them come back with a lot of branches and firewood, Yuwen Zhantian put the branches and firewood in the built "stove" and started to light the fire. Then, heat the hard and dry cake, and the cake will soften when heated, and it will be much more delicious.
Qin Ruo plucked and washed the feathers of the birds, and then threw them into the pot to cook.
Those fruits were distributed, exactly two per person.
After eating the fruits and cakes, the bird soup in the iron pot began to overflow with aroma, making people drool.
The soup cooked by a few birds was very delicious. Everyone drank a bowl and was full of praise.
After eating and drinking enough, everyone lay down on the ground and fell into a deep sleep.
Ghost Ying checked the Nine Dragons Opera Phoenix Nobile that he was carrying on his back, and said, "Your Majesty, rest first, and your subordinates will keep watch in the middle of the night."
Murong Yu nodded, also checked the Jia Lantu, and then sat beside Ah Ci.
Murong Ci had already fallen asleep, which showed that his physical strength was exhausted, so he needed to sleep well.
He took his light fur to cover her body, and touched her little hand, fortunately, the hand was warm.
Yuwen Zhantian lay on the other side, watching Murong Yu take care of Ah Ci carefully, feeling a little relieved. If it were him, he would take care of Ah Ci in the same way.
From the moment he imprisoned A Ci in the Prince's Mansion, he lost A Ci forever.
However, he just wanted to keep Aci, hoping that Aci would change his mind and like him.
He sighed softly and closed his gray-blue eyes.
Qin Ruo was exhausted, but she couldn't sleep because of something on her mind. It was only dusk, and it was still early, and she walked in front of the ghost. He looked up at her, a little excited, but also a little apprehensive, "Come to me if you need something."
She sat beside him, lowered her head, and said softly and lowly, "I don't need you to be responsible"
"I don't need to be responsible"
He could hear clearly, and his heart was filled with disappointment and frustration. Did she come here to reject him on purpose
Sullen in his heart, he said bitterly, "I understand."
"You don't understand what I want to say, I have been serving His Highness the Crown Prince, and I am a servant." Seeing that he was indifferent, Qin Ruo was anxious.
"Oh, I see." Ghosting thought to herself, so she wanted to say that she could not marry him because she disguised herself as a man.
"Do you really understand?" She stared at him and asked, her eyes flickering.
"Understood." He nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, I won't bother or disturb you in the future."
"You still don't understand." She was angry and anxious, and because it was her daughter's house, she was inevitably shy, so she was embarrassed to speak so clearly.
"Ah..." Ghosting was really confused this time. What did she mean? He scratched his head and asked straightforwardly, "Qin Ruo, what on earth do you want to tell me?"
"Why are you such an elm lump?" Qin Ruo glanced at him quickly, then turned around, her brows and eyes were full of shyness.
He still didn't understand, moved over there, sat in front of her, and saw that her eyebrows and eyes were different from before, filled with the delicate attitude of a daughter, he couldn't help but his heart swayed, and his chest was burning hot. He stammered, "I've never been with a woman before, I can't speak, don't be angry"
She looked up at her with full eyes, "I'm not angry. Didn't you say you would be responsible?"
A glimmer of hope rose in Guiying's heart, and he became excited instantly, "Yes, I will take responsibility. Aren't you unwilling?"
Qin Ruo's eyebrows drooped shyly, "It will be possible for you and me when your Highness and the prince are married."
He finally understood what she meant, he held her hands excitedly, his tongue was tied, "Okay, I'll wait, I'll wait forever"
She lowered her head and looked away, so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do, she wanted to pull her hand away, but she didn't want to be so fast.
She had seen His Highness look shy or angry before, but now she finally understood.
Murong Ci slept until dawn the next day before waking up, refreshed and revived with blood.
After breakfast, they sat around and discussed.
Ghosting looked up at the rolling and majestic Xuelong Mountain, "Xuelong Mountain is so high, it must be difficult to go up the mountain, my lord, how do I go up?"
Yuwen Zhantian asked Liu Yi: "Do I have to cross Xuelong Mountain? Are there any trails or shortcuts?"
Liu Yidao: "There is indeed a
trail, no need to go over the top of the mountain, but"
"But what?" Ghosting asked.
"That trail is very difficult to walk, and if you are not careful, you will fall off the cliff." Liu Yi said.
"You know how to walk, you took us down that path." Ghosting grabbed his hand excitedly.
"Then take the path." Murong Yu made a decision, but he still asked for A Ci's opinion.
"Taking the trail can save time." Murong Ci felt that as long as he was careful, he should be able to do it.
"Don't take the path, it's too dangerous." Liu Yi shook his head like a rattle.
"We all have martial arts for self-defense, so there is nothing to be afraid of." Yuwen Zhantian raised his eyebrows and said.
Liu Yi reluctantly agreed.
Everyone packed their bags and prepared to go up the mountain, but those camels couldn't walk the mountain road, so they had to be left here.
Liu Yi tied the camels together with a rope and tied them to a big rock, and prepared food for them. Afterwards, he stroked the camel's face and neck and babbled a lot before leaving.
They are people who practice martial arts, and they don't feel too tired when climbing mountains. They just need to replenish their physical strength in time and pay attention to rest.
Before the ancient country of Jialan was annihilated, the only way from the West Qin Kingdom to the ancient country of Jialan was to cross the desert and cross Xuelong Mountain. At that time, all the people who went to do business in the ancient country of Jialan were brave people. They crossed the desert and crossed Xuelong Mountain together. However, many people know that there is a trail in Xuelong Mountain, and taking that trail can save half the time.
It's just that some people are not lucky enough to fall off the cliff on that trail.
This is what Liu Yi said.
In the past sixty years, many people have crossed the desert, but very few people have been able to come to Xuelong Mountain, and that trail has been abandoned for decades.
Xuelong Mountain is inaccessible and there are no mountain roads. They climbed while exploring the road. After more than an hour, he finally brought them to the trail.
The path turns to the east and is so narrow that only one person can walk. On the left is the mountain, with shrubs and thorns everywhere, and on the right is the cliff. There is not much vegetation under the cliff, few trees, jagged rocks, and bottomless. Once you fall, you will be smashed to pieces, and the bones are hard to find.
The two subordinates and Liu Yi cleared the way ahead, followed by Ghosting and Qin Ruo. She couldn't help but look down the cliff. There were strange rocks protruding, boulders stacked on top of each other, and sharp stone cones. Flesh and blood fell down. , that must be covered in bruises. She couldn't help swallowing, her legs trembling.
"Don't look down, the more you look, the more flustered you become." Gui Ying warned, "Go slowly, don't worry."
"Yeah." She quickly collected her thoughts.
Murong Ci didn't dare to look at the cliff on the right, and walked cautiously step by step.
This trail is the narrowest mountain trail in the world. It’s scary to walk close to the mountain on the left.
Murong Yu was behind her, much calmer.
Yuwen Zhantian was behind him, also walking calmly.
With their martial arts cultivation, even if they fall, they can fly up, at most they will be a little scratched.
The reason why Murong Ci and Qin Ruo are so nervous is because of psychological effects.
"Actually, you don't need to worry about falling. With your martial arts, it's fine if you fall. Isn't your qinggong very good?" Ghosting said lightly, deliberately saying this to Xie Qinruo, "Even if you fall, I will fight for my life Help you up."
"Oh." Qin Ruo thought about it for a second, yes, I have martial arts, why am I so stupid, I was so nervous before.
"You just think it's flat ground and there's no danger at all."
"ah"
She screamed because she didn't know what she was stepping on, she just felt the sole of her foot slip, and then she slid to the right and fell off the cliff.
Ghosting and Murong Ci were the closest to her, and they quickly reached out to grab her. However, she slipped so fast that he only caught her sleeve. However, due to the heavy weight of the person falling, the sleeve quickly broke, and she fell rapidly, accompanied by a shrill scream.
He panicked and immediately flew down.
And because Murong Ci wanted to grab Qin Ruo, he didn't notice his feet and slipped out by himself.
This moment happened in the blink of an eye, and no one expected it.
The moment he fell, Murong Ci felt his heart skip a beat, and he lost weight.
Murong Yu was always watching, and when she slipped, he flew to save her.
The dangers happened one after another, and everyone was overwhelmed, and their hearts were raised in their throats.
At the critical moment, Yuwen Zhantian was so nervous that his heart was about to jump out. He wanted to make a move, but when he saw Murong Yu flying to rescue A Ci, he didn't make a move.
One foot down the cliff, Murong Yu hugged Murong Ci, tightly wrapping around her slender waist.
She saw him sacrifice his life and fly to save him. At this moment, her heart was filled with happiness, sweetness, and peace of mind.
Due to the weight of the two of them, they fell rapidly. When he was in danger, he looked down and stepped on a sharp raised stone with both feet, and then his luck flew up.
This equal distance, to him, is just a trivial matter.
Soon, Murong Yu flew up with Ah Ci in his arms, and landed steadily.
Murong Ci hugged his waist tightly, with lingering fear in his heart, "I don't know what happened to Qin Ruo and Gui Ying."
