When Xia Zimo's hand loosened the stone on the rock wall, the small mechanism hidden in the cuff popped out something like a hook, and as Xia Zimo and Qiu Luoxue continued to fall, a long steel wire was pulled up under the hook, supporting the two of them all the way to the bottom of the cliff safely.

Qiu Luoxue thought that this time she was going to die, so she simply closed her eyes and waited for death, but she didn't expect the real feeling of landing under her feet. She slowly opened her eyes, only to realize that she had reached the bottom of the cliff.

"What's going on?" After finding that she had fallen to the ground unharmed, Qiu Luoxue asked incredulously.

"I said I wouldn't let you die." Xia Zimo said, putting away the rope mechanism as he spoke.

"What is this?" Qiu Luoxue asked curiously.

"The mechanism you just pressed will pop out the rope when it falls from a high place, ensuring that we can land safely." Xia Zimo explained.

"Wow......" Qiu Luoxue praised: "There is such a high-level thing, no wonder it jumped off the cliff directly." As she spoke, she looked up at the cliff again, only to find that the cliff was very high, and said fearfully: "Such a high cliff, if you miss it, you will die." ”

Xia Zimo looked at her scared expression and said, "Okay, isn't this still alive?" That's enough. ”

"No, no, I'm still scared." Qiu Luoxue said, "You hold me well." ”

"Why?" Xia Zimo asked.

"I'm going to faint for a while." After Qiu Luoxue finished speaking, she fell into Xia Zimo's arms.

Seeing this, Xia Zimo hurriedly supported Qiu Luoxue and said, "Okay, don't make trouble, we're going to continue walking." ”

But after a long while, Qiu Luoxue didn't answer his words, he shook Qiu Luoxue's body, found that she didn't react either, and said, "What's the matter?" You won't really be stunned, will you? ”

Thinking that Qiu Luoxue might really be scared and fainted, Xia Zimo actually thought it was funny, laughed unconsciously, and said, "As a man, how can you be so timid? ”

Xia Zimo, who was amused by Qiu Luoxue, picked up the frightened Qiu Luoxue and walked to the depths of the cliff. The snow is still falling, and the snow on the ground has already piled up, and the feet are stepping on it, making a "creaking" sound. The bright moon in the sky scattered frost on the ground, illuminating their path.

This night was a long night for many people, and the desired day was delayed, as if time had been stopped. Wouldn't it be better after this night? Many people think so, but after this night, after the daylight comes, there is still no change. No, to be more prepared to say that things are going badly.

"Have you found the prince and the emperor?" After Biyu and Allure met, they asked anxiously.

"Haven't found it yet." Allure replied, and asked, "How are you doing over there?" ”

"It's as if nothing has happened to the government over there, and everything is normal in the Zhao Mansion." Jasper replied.

"The assassins are definitely from the direction of the Zhao Mansion, and this matter has nothing to do with them." Hanshan said.

Everything in the city was going on normally, and the soldiers defending the city only said that Qiu Luoxue and the two had urgent matters late at night to get out of the city, but they concealed the fact that they were being hunted down. The disaster relief officials from the capital really thought that they were out of the city to do business, and the only people who knew that Qiu Luoxue and Xia Zimo were missing were Zhao Daren and Chen Wang, and there were only Allure and others.

"Zhao Xin has secretly controlled the officers and soldiers in the city, and they must have chosen to leave the city because they knew this." Hanshan analyzed.

"But the area outside the city is so large, how can we find it? The pursuers will certainly not let them go easily, they have no reinforcements, and once they are caught, it will be very dangerous. Allure said.

"We must find the pursuers before they do." Hanshan said.

"Then don't waste any more time, we'll get out of the city at once." Jasper said.

The three of them set out together to the gate of the city, but were stopped. The person who stopped them was the prefect Zhao Xin.

"The three of you want to go out of the city to find Prime Minister Qiu and Lord Nian?" Zhao Xin asked hypocritically.

"We're going out of the city to find someone, but I don't know what it means that Governor Zhao is blocking us from going out of the city?" Allure asked.

Zhao Xin showed his signature smile and said, "Before leaving last night, Prime Minister Qiu and Lord Nian asked the official to tell a few people that there was danger outside the city, and let the three of them wait for them to come back in the city. ”

As soon as the three of them heard it, they knew that this was a way to prevent them from leaving the city. Biyu, who has always been outspoken, was about to question Zhao Xin, but fortunately was stopped by Allure.

"Since Childe stayed, Lord Zhao should have told us earlier, otherwise we would have gone out of the city like this, and we would have caused trouble for Childe." Allure said with a smile on the surface.

"What the girl said is that the official was really busy with disaster relief and forgot to say it." Zhao Xin said.

"Since Childe said it, then let's go back and wait for Childe to come back." Allure said that he gave Hanshan and Jasper a color, and the three of them left the city gate.

"That Lord Zhao knew he was lying at a glance, why did you still believe him." Jasper blames Allure Road.

"I don't know he's lying, it's just that what he said just now is obviously preventing us from getting out of the city, and if we break in, we won't have an advantage." Allure said.

While the two were talking, Hanshan had been observing his surroundings and suddenly said, "It's not good, we're being watched." ”

After observing the environment, Allure and Biyu also discovered this, and said, "It seems that they are afraid that we will leak the news or find helpers after we leave the city, so they are determined not to let us go out of the city." ”

The people in the city were anxiously inquiring about Qiu Luoxue and Xia Zimo's news, and there were also Chen Wang's subordinates on the edge of the cliff outside the city looking for them. And the parties Qiu Luoxue and Xia Zimo are very leisurely.

Qiu Luoxue was placed on a stone slab in a cave, covered with Xia Zimo's coat. Xia Zimo lit a fire in the cave to drive away the cold of winter, and rabbits were roasting above the firewood. At this time, he took off a roasted rabbit leg, put it on the side of Qiu Luoxue's nose and shook it, and the tangy fragrance came, so that Qiu Luoxue couldn't help but shrug her nose, greedily breathing the smell of meat.

The hunger in her stomach and the aroma from the tip of her nose, Qiu Luoxue opened her eyes and saw Xia Zimo looking at her with a rabbit leg and a smile.

"Get up and get something to eat, and we'll continue walking in a moment." Xia Zimo said.

Qiu Luoxue sat up from the stone slab very obediently and asked, "Where does the game come from in this winter?" ”

"When I went out to look for firewood, I happened to see a rabbit and caught it." Xia Zimo replied, handing the roasted rabbit leg to Qiu Luoxue.

"People may have come out hungry to forage for food, and you actually ate it, it's cruel." Qiu Luoxue said.

"I can't bear to eat it when I hear you say that, it's okay, I can eat it myself." Xia Zimo said and took the rabbit leg in front of him, ready to bite it.

Seeing this, Qiu Luoxue hurriedly snatched the rabbit leg and said, "I'll just say it casually." How can you not eat it? I'm starving. After speaking, in order to prevent Xia Zimo from snatching the rabbit leg away, he took a bite.

To be honest, because of the disaster relief, Qiu Luoxue has not eaten meat for several days, and now he has eaten such a freshly baked roast rabbit leg and praised: "It's delicious." ”

Looking at Qiu Luoxue with a happy smile on her face, Xia Zimo was also very satisfied, cut off a piece of rabbit meat with a dagger, and ate it with Qiu Luoxue.

"How? Is it better? Xia Zimo asked.

"Well, it's much better, I was scared last night, and now it's fine." Qiu Luoxue replied.

mentioned last night, Xia Zimo thought of Qiu Luoxue being stunned again, and said: "You are really cowardly and unexpected, you can be stunned?" ”

"It's normal to jump off such a high cliff and be scared." Qiu Luoxue said, and made excuses for her timidity: "Moreover, I am a civil official, so it's okay to be timid." ”

"Judging by your level of writing, I thought you were a military attaché." Xia Zimo's mocking of the Qiuluo Snow Road without a trace was a complete joke.

"How can anyone say that? I deliberately wrote it simple for you to make it easier for you to see the folds. Qiu Luoxue said.

"Then I want to thank you." Xia Zimo said, "I really don't know what else you will do besides eating, drinking, and sleeping?" ”

"Nothing." Qiu Luoxue pursed her lips and said, "So, when I asked for my resignation, how good it was for you to let me go." ”

"Are you really regretting it? How? Do you want me to let you go into seclusion now? Xia Zimo asked.

He decided that Qiu Luoxue would not resign at this time, so he deliberately said so, so he was reluctant to let Qiu Luoxue resign. Although his prime minister doesn't know anything but eat, drink and sleep, he is very precious.

"How can there be someone like you? People are being hunted down now? It's better to have the identity of the prime minister, but if you don't have any identity, you don't know how to be treated. It's really impersonal to let me resign now. Qiu Luoxue said in a complaining tone.

"Don't worry, with me, whether you are prime minister or not, I will protect you thoroughly." Xia Zimo promised.

What promises are for the future, but what will happen in the future? What kind of changes will be made in people's hearts? It's all unknown. I only hope that if there is really a day, those who once made a promise can remember today's promise.

After eating and drinking, Qiu Luoxue and Xia Zimo hit the road. Because they know that their pursuers will not let them go because they have jumped off a cliff, and if they catch up, they will be in trouble. Now they can only keep moving forward, out of the confines of Connecticut. When the time comes, they will be able to use their identities for protection.

It wasn't snowing outside, but the heavens and the earth were covered with a deep layer of white, and there was a bleak and bleak scene everywhere. The withered trees were swaying in the cold wind, and the streams were frozen. Walking in this ice and snow, there is always a feeling of despair.
