Chapter 36 Jumping off a cliff

"King Qin, do you believe me?"

Li Shimin, who was in despair, overheard Xia Xue asking him, and his voice was very calm.

He looked at Xia Xue's clear and bright eyes, and wondered in his heart, how could the eldest grandson ask such a strange question at this critical moment of life and death. However, he still nodded firmly, indeed, he had a natural and incomparable trust in Xia Xue, an indescribable firm trust. For Li Shimin, no matter what the eldest grandson girl says, he will believe it unconditionally.

A smile appeared at the corner of Xia Xue's beautiful mouth. She walked over, untied a piece of rope from her waist, and then wrapped it around Li Shimin's waist twice, tying a simple knot that Li Shimin had never seen. Then he wrapped the other piece of rope around his waist twice, and tied the same knot.

"This is an ancient and simple knot, known as the king of knots," she said, "and it is a reliable and easy-to-tie knot that will never slip or get out of shape. This is what my father taught me. ”

In the face of the current desperate situation, Xia Xue did not have a trace of panic, very calm and peaceful. It's as if the danger didn't happen to her now.

After tying the knot, Xia Xue stared at Li Shimin with calm and soft eyes and asked, "Are you afraid of death?" ”

Li Shimin shook his head firmly, for people who are born and die on the battlefield all day long, and who do rebellion and murder all day long, the word "fear of death" has long been thrown out of the clouds.

Xia Xue smiled slightly after hearing this. Then he said softly to Li Shimin, "Let's speed up to the edge of the cliff together, and then try our best to jump far together, can you do it?" ”

Li Shimin was stunned, it turned out that the eldest grandson girl wanted to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff with him. He knew that if he was captured today, he would definitely be dead, and he might die even more humiliating. The eldest grandson girl, Bingqing Yujie, probably didn't want to die of humiliation, so she chose to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff.

Being able to die with the eldest grandson is also a kind of luck and happiness for yourself!

Li Shimin nodded firmly.

He said to Xia Xue apologetically: "I dragged down the eldest grandson girl today, and I am willing to make cattle and horses for the eldest grandson girl in the next life to repay the guilt of you." ”

The shouts of killing around her were getting closer and closer, but Xia Xue didn't hear it, still smiling calmly. Softly said: "I'll shout one, two, three, and we'll rush to the edge of the cliff together and jump out as hard as we can, the farther away the better!" ”

Li Shimin nodded.

"One, two, three, jump!"

The two of them rushed to the edge of the cliff and jumped out together, neither of them fearing or hesitating.

……

The Sui army, who was not far from the two people on the top of the mountain, seemed to have seen the high-ranking officials Houlu and the gold reward coming towards him, staring at him with blood-red eyes, ignoring the almost cramping legs that ran, and ignoring the lungs that were almost exploding, and rushed to Li Shimin and Xia Xue like a tide.

But when they were about to approach them, they saw these two people jumping off the cliff together. Suddenly, some people fainted as soon as it was dark.

Some unwilling Sui troops rushed to the edge of the cliff and looked down in fear, but saw that the cliff was bottomless and covered with clouds and mist, and there was nothing to see. couldn't help but weaken their legs, and they sat down on the ground in frustration, and their dream of being promoted and making a fortune was completely shattered.

At this time, I heard the sudden sound of killing under the mountain, the neighing of war horses, and the howling of ghosts and wolves. couldn't help but look like earth, could it be that the Tang Army reinforcements came.

……

In Li Jiancheng's military tent, the anxious generals shouted one after another: "His Royal Highness the Prince, wake up quickly." Hurry up and save King Qin, otherwise King Qin will be in danger in a while! But Li Jiancheng was drunk and didn't react.

At this time, Li Jiancheng's henchman Xue Wanche walked in, he knew the importance of today's battle, which was related to the fate and future of the Tang Army. But he also knows Li Jiancheng's current heart, and he doesn't dare to pierce it. But you can't ignore the overall situation, because if King Qin is captured or killed in today's battle, then the entire Tang army will collapse, and his future and fate will also be ruined.

"King Qin must be saved, but he can't say it directly, then the prince will definitely rebel in his heart. What should I do? Xue Wanche's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly ran to Li Jiancheng's side and whispered in his ear: "Your Highness, the eldest grandson girl went to Tongguan with Li Shimin today, and the eldest grandson girl must be in a very dangerous situation now." ”

Li Jiancheng opened his eyes suddenly, and sat up with a snort, "What? The eldest grandson girl ...... "He suddenly realized that this was in the barracks, and hurriedly changed his words: "Hurry up and order, five thousand cavalry, set off immediately to rescue King Qin!" ”

He rushed out with his cloak scattered, and Xue Wanche hurriedly grabbed Li Jiancheng, "Your Highness, you haven't put on armor yet, it's dangerous to go to the battlefield without armor protection." The last general was willing to take 4,000 cavalry to rescue the King of Qin immediately, and His Royal Highness led the remaining 1,000 cavalry to arrive after putting on his armor. What does Your Highness think? ”

Li Jiancheng was stunned for a moment and immediately agreed. "Good! Hurry up and set off with four thousand cavalry and quickly rescue King Qin. I'll be right there! ”

Outside the tent of the Tang military camp, the horses neighed, the hooves of the horses roared, and the four thousand cavalry disappeared into the dust in an instant.

……

After Li Shimin jumped off the cliff, he felt the wind whirring in his ears, and his body was falling rapidly. He knew that his life was over today, and his heart was mixed, and it seemed that his ambition would have to wait for the next life to be realized. He turned his head to look at Xia Xue, who was also falling at the same time, fluttering like a fairy, without a trace of panic and fear, and felt a burst of happiness and satisfaction in his heart. I hope to meet her again in the next life, and it is best to love each other, how happy and happy it should be.

Li Shimin was thinking about it when he suddenly heard Xia Xue shouting: "Hold the rope around your waist with both hands." Reflexively, he quickly grabbed the rope around his waist that was connected to Xia Xue with both hands. Seeing that Xia Xue's right hand also held the rope connected to his waist, his left hand stretched out behind his back and pulled something, only to hear the hula, seeing Xia Xue suddenly stop falling and go up, his brain had not yet turned, he felt that the rope on his hand and waist was tight, and a huge force pulled himself upward, and the speed of the fall slowed down sharply.

Li Shimin was extremely surprised, and when he looked up, Xia Xue was already above his head at this time, and she was holding the rope connected to her with her right hand, and a big orange-red flower-like umbrella grew behind Xia Xue. It seems that it was this strange big umbrella that slowed down the descent of himself and Xia Xue.

"What a man of God! It can change such a magical umbrella! "Li Shimin now not only loves and admires Xia Xue, but also has a kind of awe." Fairy, goddess, amazing! ”

This is a canyon area, the parachute is slowly and smoothly landing, and the maximum load capacity of this parachute in Xia Xue is 300 kilograms, that is, 600 kilograms. Li Shimin is 1.8 meters tall and weighs 80 kilograms, which is 160 kilograms; Xia Xue is 1.75 meters tall and weighs 52 kilograms, that is, 104 kilograms, and the combined weight of the two is only 132 kilograms, which is 264 kilograms, which is far from the maximum load capacity, so the parachute descent is very stable and safe.

The material of the parachute is made of the latest generation of special materials, windproof, waterproof, fireproof, scratch-proof, etc., very tough, bullets are impermeable, but also slightly breathable, although the parachute rope is very thin, but it is made of the latest synthetic materials, extremely strong, a thin parachute rope can suspend a ton of heavy objects, the weight of the entire parachute, parachute rope, umbrella bag and so on is very light, because the whole parachute is very thin, folded and compacted, can be easily loaded into a small umbrella bag. This high-tech umbrella bag can also be used as a travel backpack, not to see the small size, but it can hold a lot of things. This kind of new material parachute, although the price is relatively expensive, but you can make a parachute at high altitude, and you can make a tent outdoors, which is Xia Xue's favorite who often works in the field, as a genius girl doctor, the salary is super high, the future is immeasurable, and it has never been bad for money, and the more advanced the better, the more advanced the better, and the price has never cared.

……

Xia Xue let go of her right hand holding the rope, observed the terrain, and saw that the bottom of the cliff was a canyon, with cliffs on both sides, and there was a stream in the valley, so she manipulated the control belt on the parachute with both hands to control the direction, and slowly drifted down to a piece of sand.

"There are still a hundred meters from the ground, Your Highness pay attention, the muscles of your body are tense, your knees are tight and bent at one hundred and twenty degrees, your feet are parallel to each other, your attention is concentrated, and you are ready to land." Xia Xue shouted and pulled the two deceleration control belts behind the parachute, ready to slow down and land.

Although Li Shimin was confused, he still bent his knees slightly as required, clamped his knees, put his feet together, and concentrated. Before he had time to marvel, Xia Xue had already landed smoothly.
