Chapter 198: Mountain Cliff
Mama Cao avoided talking and said, "Please wait a while, the emperor will come in a while." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Xue Qi's eyes flashed: "Thank you, grandma." ”
Mama left, and Xue Qi and Xue Ying were left in the spacious and solemn hall. Xue Qi didn't look at Xue Ying from beginning to end, as if she didn't exist. But seeing that he came back safe and sound, Xue Ying was still secretly relieved.
Over the years, the third lady has been looking for famous doctors in order to regulate her body, and various prescriptions and medicinal materials have been continuously sent to Jiuquan Villa, and she has this kindness in her heart. So even if she didn't think about anything else, just for the sake of the third lady, she didn't want anything to happen to Xue Qi.
The two waited for about a quarter of an hour before the emperor came back, his face was covered with a layer of haze, and after entering the door, he first glared at Xue Ying with some indignation, which made Xue Ying's heart suddenly rise to the air.
After the two saluted, the emperor said bluntly: "You take her to Tianyi Cliff." ”
Xue Qi tilted his face slightly in the direction of Xue Ying, but he didn't look at her, his sword eyebrows frowned slightly, and when he looked at the emperor again, he had already changed into a look of understanding, and raised his hand solemnly: "The minister obeys the order." ”
The two of them have a good heart, and they don't need to say anything to understand each other's meaning, but Xue Ying is different, she was already confused, and now she is even more confused after listening to the emperor's words.
Who to take to Tianyi Cliff? What are you doing there?
But her first question was quickly answered, because Xue Qi said when he passed by her, "Let's go." ”
Hurriedly following Xue Qi's footsteps, Xue Ying's heart began to be nervous again. Tianyi Cliff is the place where the emperor imprisoned King Sui, Xue Qi is going to take her to see King Sui?
Thinking of the "secret" that the Queen Mother said, Xue Ying was 120,000 reluctant to see King Sui, getting that secret would almost mean a huge disaster, she she, she, she was not ready!
But whether it is the emperor or Xue Qi, they obviously will not consider her feelings. The emperor is the king of Hades who wants her to die in the third watch, and Xue Qi is the bull head and horse face who led her on the road - although this metaphor is inappropriate, it is very in line with Xue Ying's current state of mind.
When sitting in the carriage, Xue Ying was still complaining in her heart, this Xue Qi has been away from home for two years, can't he rest after returning to Anjing City? didn't even have time to go home to see his wife, so she couldn't wait to take her "on the road", she almost had to cry for his dedication.
Anyway, she didn't dare to say anything else over the years, she still practiced her escape kung fu well, so she didn't want to gamble and run away. But Qiaoya and Dong Xun are still waiting for her to go back in the palace, if she runs away, they will definitely lose their heads. There is also Uncle Shunzi's family, as well as Jiuquan Bezhuang and Ganxiao Temple......
Sigh, forget it, it's better for her to settle down a little.
When the carriage stopped, she thought it had arrived, but when she came out, she saw the stone steps with no end in sight sparring up into the deep lush forest.
Xue Qi first climbed the stairs: "Go." ”
The Praetorian Guard, who was in charge of "escorting" the two, did not follow, but stayed where they were. Xue Ying took a deep breath and followed behind Xue Qi. The temperature in the mountains and forests is lower than in other places, and the stairs are covered with frost, so they are a little slippery. Xue Ying didn't dare to wander and kept staring at the road under her feet, so she was startled when Xue Qi suddenly spoke.
"Aside from that birthday feast, have you seen General Qi Xiao in other places?"
Xue Ying's eyes rolled a few times quickly: he suddenly asked what this meant? Could it be that Qi Mo's possession of the Five Poison Tokens has really been exposed?
But according to the information sent back from the past, the two of them fought from the southwest to the northwest, and they were still fiercely deterring those imminent Jianghu forces at the Sword Conference, and in general, the cooperation was quite pleasant!
Although her mind was spinning, she didn't pause for too long, and directly refused: "I don't want to answer this question." ”
Xue Qi sneered and suddenly quickened his pace.
"......" stingy guy! Xue Ying slandered, and then not to be outdone, she raised her breath to catch up. No matter how she said it, she was trained by the devil, and she didn't believe that she couldn't compare to a weak scholar like Xue Qi.
And then...... She found out how wrong she was!
This Xue Qi is a scholar, yes, but he is not weak at all, his steps are getting easier and easier, not to mention, his speed is getting faster and faster, as if the opening paragraph is deliberately slowed down to warm up.
Xue Ying followed him deadly, insisting on not giving up even though she was out of breath. Just when she was almost out of breath, Xue Qi finally stopped. Xue Ying looked up at the section in front of her that could only put her feet down and go up the cliff at almost a right angle, and rolled her eyes.
"Yes or no?" Xue Qi asked calmly.
Do you still want to continue to inquire about Qi Mo's affairs? Xue Ying gasped a few times and straightened up: "I said it, I don't want to answer." ”
Xue Qi looked up at the road ahead: "It should hurt to fall, right?" ”
"Humph!" Xue Ying untied her heavy coat and threw it away, leaned over and tied several knots at the corners of her skirt very skillfully, and the complicated and heavy winter coat suddenly turned into a powerful suit that was convenient for movement. She clapped her hands and smiled demonstratively, "Let's go." ”
Xue Qi's gaze swept at the corner of her skirt several times, and she seemed to be a little surprised. But in the end, he still snorted coldly: "I don't know what to do." He turned around and began to climb upwards, his body was sturdy and light, like a spirit ape.
Xue Ying twisted the joints on her body, did several stretching exercises, then exhaled and followed. Although it is not as easy as Xue Qi, his movements are not rusty and stiff, and it seems that this is not the first time he has taken this kind of road.
But no matter how you say it, this is also a dangerous road, even if she accidentally falls, even if she doesn't die, she will break half of her bones, so she is more cautious and focused than before, and no longer forces herself to keep up with Xue Qi's speed, but climbs up at her own pace.
The road requires a combination of hands and feet, and the cliff face is also frosty, not only slippery, but also bitterly cold. After walking for a while, Xue Ying's fingers were numb from the cold, and she had to stop to warm her hands.
"You've walked this road before?" Xue Qi suddenly asked.
Xue Ying realized that he didn't go far, but always kept a suitable distance from her - yes, if she fell to her death, the emperor's errand would not be completed.
"Nope." Xue Ying wiped her hands vigorously on her body, on the one hand, she wiped off the water traces, and on the other hand, she also used the friction to generate heat to warm her hands, "But there is a section of my way to carry water that looks like this." ”
Of course, that's only a small segment, and it's a small part of what it is today.
"Carrying water? Didn't you say you're only responsible for watering? ”
"That was two years ago, how old am I now? People always have to improve! "Two years ago, Master Mingjue went down the mountain to practice, and the vegetable garden was handed over to her and Mingfa, and the first time Mingfa took her to carry water, she was so frightened that she didn't dare to go down, and when she carried water up and climbed up, she sprinkled countless times, and felt that it was impossible to climb the cliff with two buckets of water - it turned out that human potential is unlimited, and she now has no problem picking a small bucket of water that is eight points full.
Thinking of this, she was extremely glad that she had withstood the devil's training of the Ganxiao Temple, otherwise where would she get the capital to confront Xue Qi today?
