Although it's dawn, the weather today is groggy, it looks like it's going to rain, and the sky is filled with dark clouds.
The city gate is extremely heavily guarded today. It is said that they are searching for wanted criminals, and ordinary people cannot get out at all.
Qiqiao sat under the tree, hiding her slender body as much as possible.
I don’t know how long I waited, but finally, Long Ji came back.
"If you want to leave the city, you have to show your pass, and you have to check people one by one. It's impossible to get through here."
"Then what should we do?" As soon as Qiqiao opened his mouth, he found that his voice was so hoarse that it was almost completely stuck in his throat.
Long Ji felt a little heartbroken as he listened.
"You need to eat something first. We are not going through the city gate. I know there is a way out of the city."
Long Ji gave her a drink of water and stuffed a pack of hot steamed buns into her hand.
"Let's go." He squatted down in front of her.
Qiqiao's hand fell on his shoulder. When he got up, he was still in pain and sweating all over.
"Does it hurt?" Her leg bone was broken by the kick, and now she can't walk at all.
Although Long Ji temporarily found a doctor to treat her, the doctor also said that there was nothing he could do.
This means that Qiqiao's leg is completely useless.
But she didn't cry or make trouble, and even smiled at him and comforted him in return.
Long Ji really felt that this little girl looked greedy for life and afraid of death, but in fact, she was really strong.
"Don't worry, when you return to the princess, she will definitely have a way to cure you."
Qiqiao wanted to respond, but it really hurt.
As soon as he opened his mouth, there was bound to be a scream.
She could only grit her teeth and nod: "Yes."
He refused to speak, endured the severe pain, and lay on Long Ji's back.
Just as Long Ji carried her on his back, a group of guards suddenly walked past in the distance.
Someone shouted: "Those two people, stop!"
"Hold tight!" Long Ji said in a deep voice. With a tap of his foot, he suddenly jumped up from the ground and landed firmly on the roof.
"The assassin is there! Chase him quickly!"
A group of guards immediately chased after him.
Long Ji passed over the roof and disappeared into the woods near the city wall at the fastest speed.
After that, he broke into the depths of the jungle.
The city wall is very long, winding along the mountains in this area.
The city wall itself is very high, and it is built on a steep ridge. Even if Long Ji is good at Qinggong, it will be difficult for him to climb over it with Qiqiao on his back.
What's more, there will be sentries guarding every section of the city wall.
It is even more difficult to get over it.
He can only find gaps.
"I have explored the topography of this area. At the end of the city wall is a river. We will go along the river."
"Where are the princess and the others now?" Qiqiao is most concerned about this matter now. "Mu Bai seems to be under their control. Nangong Qin must have drugged him."
When she saw Mu Bai, Mu Bai was obviously groggy and confused.
Except for Nangong Qin, no one had the chance to attack him.
"This matter must be told to the princess as soon as possible, so that the princess can immediately find another way. The previous cooperation with Mu Bai will not work."
But Long Ji was carrying her on his back now. Even if he found the river at the end of the city wall, he didn't know how long it would take to find the Ninth Princess.
Seeing that the pursuers behind him had long disappeared, Qiqiao endured the pain and tugged on Long Ji's collar.
"You put me down and I can leave by myself. You go and inform the princess about Mu Bai first!"
The war is about to begin. If I don't inform the princess, she might be too late.
