"What are you talking about? Who has been here? You... Do you recognize this jade pendant? ”

Gui Longqin carefully took off the half of the mandarin duck hidden on his waist and put it together with Su Zhijing's, and the two half-faced mandarin ducks seemed to grow together by birth Yes, they couldn't find the slightest crack.

"How on earth am I going to find you?" Gui Longqin tried his best to control his emotions, but found that the inexplicable emotions in his heart were getting stronger and stronger.

"Go hang up the ladder, I'm going to go down and see for myself." Lin Chengyu knew that no matter how he dissuaded him at this time, Gui Longqin would not change his mind, so he could only follow her wishes.

"Childe, there is a bottomless abyss at the bottom, if you go down so rashly, I'm afraid that there will be more than one luck, why do you take this risk yourself, in case..."

"Since it is the realm prince of Nanzhao Kingdom, how can there be a reason not to save it, if it succeeds, it must also be beneficial to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, if it fails, it is just one less opponent for each other."

"This..."

"Xiaobao, although he is the prince, you are also a good apprentice of the master, Mingyue and they are all waiting for you to go home, as a princess, I should go down."

"Do you have to remind me of the fact that you are a princess? Where did a woman get the courage to say such a thing? Do you think it's okay to do your light work? ”

Xiaobao blocked herself in front of Gui Longqin, for fear that she would make some dangerous moves like just now.

At this moment, there was a commotion on the other side of the woods, and it seemed that there were a lot of people coming, Lin Chengyu vigilantly protected Gui Longqin behind him, and drew the sword in the scabbard.

Those people were all dressed in black night clothes and face masks, which was exactly the same as Lin Chengyu and them. When the leader took off his mask, Lin Chengyu put away the sword in his hand.

"Jingxi? How did you come here? ”

"Back to Gongzi's words, it was Miss who heard that you had mobilized dozens of masters in the house, and Miss was afraid that you would be in any danger, so she ordered her subordinates to come here to protect Gongzi."

"I'm afraid she wants to transfer you out so that you can go out and continue to cause trouble." Lin Chengyu replied to Gao Jingxi's words casually, and by the way, he wrapped some coarse strips of cloth around his hands.

"Childe, this is? Is this going down this ladder yourself? ”

"The life and death of the realm prince of Nanzhao Kingdom is uncertain, and it is likely to be under this cliff."

"But you... Although the subordinates are not as good as the son, it is enough to deal with the ladder and the cliff, although the prince is very important, but please do not forget your identity, the lord and the young lady are still waiting for you to go back. ”

Gao Jingxi tore off the half-wrapped strip of cloth on Lin Chengyu's hand and wrapped it around his hand.

"If I can't come up, Childe remembers to treat Miss well, and his subordinates will be at ease."

"Be careful." Lin Chengyu patted Gao Jingxi's shoulder.

After Gao Jingxi went down, he would use his sword scabbard to tap the iron pieces on the ladder every once in a while to tell the people on the cliff that he was still safe.

After about an hour, according to his speed and light skills, he should have reached the bottom of the valley long ago, but there was no movement on the ladder.

Gui Longqin paced back and forth on the edge of the cliff uneasily, although her heart to save Su Zhijing was very broken, but she didn't want to see others suffer any harm because of this incident.

Lin Chengyu turned his back to Gui Longqin and the guards and drew something, his expression was very serious, and after a while, the guards wrapped the strip of cloth around Lin Chengyu's hand.

"If I can't come back today, you must escort the dust girl to Yundu Villa."

"Prince, how should we explain this to the emperor?"

"You say that I died to save the prince of Nanzhao, and let him use this as a condition in exchange for peace between the two countries."

"This..."

Before the guard's words could be spoken, Lin Chengyu walked in the direction of the cloud ladder.

"What are you going to do?" Gui Longqin grabbed Lin Chengyu in horror.

"What? Are you worried about me? ”

"Don't go down, I don't want anyone to die for this."

"Isn't your prince saved?"

Gui Longqin frowned, his eyes, which were already red and swollen from exhaustion, were already mist, and his thin lips slowly oozed a little bloodshot because he was too hard, and after a long time, he nodded firmly.

"It's not saved." Although the hand that grabbed Lin Chengyu trembled slightly, it still held on tightly.

Just when the two of them were at a stalemate, there was a familiar knocking sound on the ladder on the edge of the cliff, and this sound was getting louder and louder, it should be someone coming from the bottom of the cliff.

Sure enough, half an hour later, a pair of hands wrapped in bloody cloth came into view.

"Jingxi, are you okay" Lin Chengyu pulled Gao Jingxi to the top of the cliff and carefully took his pulse?

"Childe, I'm fine, but I didn't expect this cliff to be so deep, and there are many wild wolves at the bottom of the cliff, so I delayed the time in order to get rid of it."

"Those wolves aren't necessarily wild." Lin Chengyu removed the cloth strip and applied some herbs that he carried with him.

"Childe is saying that someone did it deliberately?"

"Yes, wolves that have lived in the wild for a long time will not attack people unless they are extremely hungry or have bitten people before."

"That's right, I saw this when I went down to the bottom." Gao Jingxi took out a short silver-white dagger from his waist.

"This is the prince's dagger, have you seen anything else?" Gui Longqin recognized the dagger at a glance, it was given to him by the emperor during a hunting when Su Zhijing was still a little prince.

Although the father-son relationship between him and the emperor has faded a lot with the death of the queen, he has always carried this dagger with him.

"There is nothing else at the bottom of the girl's cliff, if I guessed correctly, the prince should have encountered an accident a long time ago."

The dagger in his hand fell to the ground, colliding with the stone and making a buzzing sound, after a few seconds, it was silent as if he had never heard this sound, the small expectation in Gui Longqin's heart was still disappointed after all, and all the grievances and worries in the past period of time turned into a heart fire, rising from the bottom of his heart, hitting his heart violently and quickly.

A mouthful of bright red erupted from his mouth, and Gui Longqin, who was blackened in front of him, lost consciousness and was held in his arms by Lin Chengyu before collapsing.

"Go home." Lin Chengyu gently picked up Gui Longqin horizontally and stepped onto the official road.

"Aren't we going to go through the jungle?"

He was more worried about the safety of the person in his arms than about the pursuers. I was all right, drove all the horses to the official road, and set off immediately. ”

Because of the perennial war, the officials on the border of Jingxi are not said to be people, and even animals are rarely seen, and occasionally only a few crows are seen hovering in the sky.

Lin Chengyu and his entourage rushed to the road day and night, but they never thought that they were blocked by a group of "bandits" halfway.

"I opened this road, and I handed over all the money to Lao Tzu."
