Yun Shang selected ten subordinates who performed well on weekdays, and then she remembered to ask Prince 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 a map, pointed to an isolated place in Qilin Mountain, and said, "This is a river. We can just go up along the river."
Yun Shang was stunned, and took the map and looked at it for a long time, "If this river can go up the mountain, why are there still very few records about this area on the map? There is no mention of the width of the river, nor of the terrain along the way...
…”
"Because this river has a cliff halfway up the mountain, and the water falls down to form a waterfall. The cliff is a hundred feet high, and there is no place where you can borrow strength. It takes a person with extremely high martial arts skills and internal strength to go up." King Jing
His expression was calm and authentic.
"..." Yun Shang turned her head and looked at the ten people behind her who were already stunned, and then said, "No wonder you didn't tell me to bring any of your subordinates..." She couldn't help but curse in her heart, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?
…”
However, when he turned around, he remembered another very important thing, "You just said that people with extremely high martial arts skills also need internal strength? Then they must have deep internal strength?"
Prince Jing nodded and heard Yun Shang's eerily calm voice, "But, I have no inner strength."
Although Yun Shang believed that her martial arts was pretty good, she really had no internal strength. Her body was not suitable for cultivating internal strength, so she only used medicinal materials to improve her qualifications. Even Qinggong was a bit weak.
Prince Jing didn't expect it. He did think that she didn't seem to have internal strength before. He just saw that her martial arts and light skills were as good as hers, so he thought that the martial arts she practiced was unique.
Prince Jing was silent for a long time and then said, "If there is a place on the cliff where you can use your strength, I can take you up there, but..."
"No problem, let's go take a look first." Yun Shang stood up, took the horse and was about to set off.
"Now is not the time. We have not covered up our tracks. Even if Xia Houjing doesn't know it's us, he must know that strangers have come to Taoxi Village. He will definitely step up his guard. I'm afraid that we have been targeted. We want to
When going up the mountain, you have to go around in a circle and shake off the tail behind you." Prince Jing sat on the ground, and his movements were all casual.
Yun Shang nodded, feeling a little annoyed. It seemed that when Prince Jing was around, she didn't always like to think about things.
Fortunately, the secret guard was best at concealing his traces. After a while, only Yun Shang and Prince Jing were left in the same place. The sky gradually darkened. Prince Jing stood up and said, "I'll go first."
Come hunt some game, be careful yourself."
Yun Shang responded and watched King Jing leave. He stood up and found some branches around to make a fire, but found that he didn't bring any flint. Yun Shang smiled bitterly and sat down against a tree. It seemed that
, I can only spend the night here.
Fortunately, King Jing didn't go there for long. After a while, he came back with two pheasants. He lit a fire very skillfully, took the chickens to the stream and cleaned them, then came back and penetrated them with branches.
He took off the chicken body and put it on the fire to roast.
"I think I'm starting to drag you down." Yun Shang said with a smile. Although it is true that she has learned a lot over the years, she has never been short of food and clothing, nor has she really left herself in the wilderness.
I have experienced it, so in fact, many things are just words on paper. When I actually meet them, I find that I am really useless.
Luo Qingyan raised his eyes and looked at Yun Shang, "You have advantages that others don't have. I remember that you have some medical skills, which means that you can identify which grasses are poisonous and which ones are non-toxic. I have always felt that you have some medical skills.
, although miasma is poisonous, everything in the world is always mutually reinforcing. If there is miasma, there should be a place nearby that can detoxify the miasma. The advantage of Xia's soldiers is that they are not afraid of these miasma. If you can figure out how to detoxify the miasma,
, which is a great achievement.”
Yun Shang smiled slightly, "Although I know you are comforting me, it is also very useful."
After King Jing finished roasting the pheasant, he tore off a chicken leg and handed it to Yun Shang. Yun Shang took it and took a bite. He felt a fragrance spreading between his lips and teeth. Although it was not salty or tasteless,
But what's rare is that it retains its original flavor.
The two of them ate and rested against the tree.
The night gradually got deeper, and while she was half asleep and half awake, Yun Shang suddenly heard a rustling sound. Yun Shang woke up suddenly, but did not open her eyes. She just retracted her right hand into her sleeve, where she placed her
The customary silver needle.
However, she slowly stretched out her left hand and moved quietly towards her side. If she remembered correctly, Prince Jing was on her left. Yun Shang first touched Prince Jing's sword, then quietly moved it up, and then touched a sword with a slight
The hand held a bit of coolness. The hand held Yun Shang's hand behind her back, and wrote two words on Yun Shang's palm, someone.
Yun Shang's heart suddenly felt a little calmer. He was awake. Yun Shang also felt that the secret guards around him were well prepared, and he felt even more relieved.
A sharp whistle sounded, causing Yun Shang to feel pain in her ears. She thought that the other party must be trying to alarm them by making such a big noise, so she simply opened her eyes, but suddenly the surroundings were dark.
A dull article, not even moonlight.
A piece of snow-white clothes suddenly floated over from a distance. The clothes seemed to be glowing, reflecting the face of the person above the clothes, which was glowing blue, and his eyes were white, and he floated towards Yun Shang.
Before Yun Shang could react, she heard a sudden scream from behind her, "Ah... there's a ghost..."
The voice was very familiar to Yun Shang.
Yun Shang was shocked, but before she could react, she was pulled by Prince Jing and ran towards the road outside Xiaolinzi. Prince Jing was still shouting, "Ah, ghost, ghost, run quickly.
There is a ghost..."
Yun Shang paused, then staggered out and followed King Jing's footsteps. The two ran for a long distance before King Jing stopped, turned around and looked in the direction of Taoxi Village.
It was pitch black over there, but nothing could be seen.
Yun Shang turned her head to look at Prince Jing, only to see a vague outline.
But 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 our identities 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.
, so he used this trick to scare us."
Yun Shang nodded, "That man was sprinkled with powder from fireflies." After a pause, he added, "That's good. This means that Xia Hojing didn't notice us, and the people in Taoxi Village saw us.
If we leave, we probably won't be able to follow you again. It just so happens that we just need a reason to get away."
"Let's go. The pass is one hundred and twenty miles to the west. We rode there overnight and should be able to arrive at dawn." Prince Jing's voice was very soft, so soft that Yun Shang felt that it seemed to be carrying
A bit gentle.
King Jing whistled, and Yun Shang saw two horses running over from a distance. Yun Shang smiled and led her horse, "This horse is quite obedient."
"This horse's name is Caiyun. It's a mare with a gentler temperament. It's a good match for Zhuiyun like me. I wanted to give it to you." Prince Jing said softly, got on the horse and said, "Let's go."
Before Yun Shang could digest what he just said, she heard the sound of his horse starting off. Yun Shang ignored her random thoughts and quickly got on the horse, patted the horse, and Caiyun quickly ran up towards Prince Jing.
It was almost as expected by King Jing. At almost Chen hour, the two of them had already arrived at the location on the map. Yun Shang frowned and looked at the hundred-foot-high waterfall in front of her, frowning slightly because it had been washed away by water all year round.
The cliff is very smooth. On both sides of the waterfall are dense forests filled with miasma.
Yun Shang looked at the waterfall for a long time, and finally shook her head and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to go up."
Prince Jing nodded. He had only heard about it from the secret guards before, but he had never seen it himself. Now it seems that he is reluctant to go up alone. If he takes Yun Shang with him, they will both fall.
die.
Yun Shang stood in the deep pool under the waterfall and looked back and forth for a long time, then pointed to a tree next to the top of the waterfall and said, "If you can find a rope as long as that and tie it there, I can climb up there."
.Not only can I go up, but my ten secret guards can also go up."
Prince Jing frowned for a long time, nodded, and ordered people to prepare ropes. However, the nearest town here was also a hundred miles away. Every time he came back, it was another day.
When the secret guard came back, it was already midnight. However, Yun Shang couldn't see him in the middle of the night and was not sure, so he found a place to rest. As soon as it got light the next day, everyone got up.
Prince Jing jumped up and flew up to the top of the cliff, a hundred feet away. Yun Shang was dumbfounded. She had always known that Prince Jing's martial arts was extremely high, but she didn't expect him to be so powerful. She couldn't help but feel solemn in her heart.
This person is too terrifying. If one day, he becomes his enemy, he will have almost no chance of winning.
Prince Jing tied the rope to the tree Yun Shang mentioned. He checked it over and then nodded. The tree was at least a hundred years old and grew on the edge of the cliff. Some branches protruded out. Prince Jing used it to tie the rope.
The branches are about the same thickness as the mouth of a bowl, so there should be no problem in bearing the weight of a person.
Yun Shang jumped into the water, swam to the rope, tied the rope to her waist, held the rope with both hands, and climbed up. The cliff was too slippery, and Yun Shang could not support it with her feet, so she had to rely on the power of the rope.
, moving up bit by bit. When King Jing saw this, he frowned. The cliff was a hundred feet high. Climbing up like this would definitely hurt his hand for a long time.
With a thought in his mind, he used some internal strength to lift the rope up. Yun Shang was only a fifteen or sixteen year old woman, so it was not difficult for Prince Jing to lift it up. After about an hour, Yun Shang also climbed up.
Cliff top.
The two of them just breathed a sigh of relief when they heard voices coming from the dense forest nearby. Yun Shang and Prince Jing were startled. They looked at each other and then suddenly buried their bodies under the water. (To be continued)
