() The palatial mansion was gloomy, as if some demon was at work, and no amount of bright sunset could shine into the shrouded haze.

"The officials are thinking something, so they don't pay attention to the slave family." The beauty twisted her water snake waist and coquettishly said softly.

Coming back to his senses, Gu Zongtang casually touched the beauty's slender waist, but his face was not very happy: "The beauty is in her arms, of course she is thinking about the beauty." ”

Not long after he was lifted from the palace, he learned that his subordinates had not found Gu Ziyuan's body, and he was worried in his heart.

Not long after, the voice of his subordinates begging to see him came from outside the door, and Gu Zongtang sent the beauty out and let his subordinates in.

"Master, there is news in the Flying Pigeon Biography that Gu Ziyuan did not fall off the cliff, but was trapped in a cave, and Zhao Yu has already gone up to help him."

The people he sent had been searching and wandering near the cliff without giving up, and sure enough, they still found the news of Gu Ziyuan.

"Gu Ziyuan was saved?" Although he expected it, Gu Zongtang's face was still dark, and he clenched his fists.

The subordinate continued to report in a cold sweat: "He hasn't left the cave yet, he should be injured and unable to move." ”

"Hmph, this Gu Ziyuan is really fateful, God actually let him survive every time, I want to see if he really shouldn't die!" Gu Zongtang gritted his teeth viciously and said, "This time, do you dare to disappoint His Highness?" ”

"What does the master command? The subordinates must fight to the death! His subordinates hurriedly bowed down to show their loyalty.

Gu Zongtang's eyes were full of murderous intent, and his voice was cold: "Go and blow up that cave for me, you know that I only want one result, if he is still alive this time, then you will stay under the cliff without the light of day for the rest of your life." ”

didn't dare to resist, and his subordinates responded without hesitation: "Yes, master!" ”

And in the imperial city, the personal father-in-law who got the news also quickly reported Gu Zongtang's actions to the emperor.

The emperor, who was writing and writing, was not surprised: "Oh, it seems that he also knows that Gu Ziyuan's identity is the orphan of the first emperor, no wonder he showed his feet last time because of Gu Ziyuan." ”

"Is there anything that needs to be done?" Father-in-law asked.

"No need, since they want to fight, let's just watch the fire from the other side." The emperor said that, and wrote down a bold and uninhibited word.

Cranes and mussels compete

, The fisherman profits, it is inevitable to get rid of Gu Ziyuan with Gu Zongtang's hand, even if he is discovered, he can also take advantage of the situation to get rid of Gu Zongtang's chess piece, for him as an emperor, everything will be under his control.

The firelight flickered, reflecting Gu Ziyuan's slightly pale face even weaker, and Bai Rong stepped forward to ask him with concern: "Are you awake, how is your body, are you better?" ”

Gu Ziyuan closed his eyes, as if he was trying to exert force, but soon shook his head, held his forehead and asked, "It seems that I don't have much strength, am I still sick?" ”

"It's just a minor illness, and the fever is almost gone, but you are injured, and your physical and internal strength have been consumed, and you can't recover your strength for the time being." Zhao Yu said, took out a few small pills that had been prepared, and asked Gu Ziyuan to take them with water.

After a pause, Zhao Yu asked Gu Ziyuan: "Can you try to see if you can stand up?" ”

Gu Ziyuan took a deep breath and wanted to try to support his heavy and abnormal body, but he couldn't do it: "I'm sorry." ”

"But it's not appropriate to stay here to recuperate, you have to leave here." Bai Rong began to feel anxious, afraid that the people who were chasing and killing them would find out here, and he was afraid that Gu Ziyuan's condition would worsen.

"Don't worry, I'll think of a way." Gu Ziyuan comforted.

"There it is!" Bai Rong suddenly thought of something, and excitedly proposed: "Since you can't go down, it's better to send it up, and it's closer to the top of the cliff than under the cliff." ”

"How do you want to send it?" Zhao Yu asked.

Bai Rong began to gesture with his hand and explained: "Tie up Ziyuan with something and slowly hang him up from above, by the way, Lord Zhao has a helper over?" ”

Zhao Yu nodded, thinking about whether her method was feasible, and finally confirmed: "Song Yuyu's people have come with a lot, and it is enough to pull the three of us." ”

However, someone needs to bring the "rope" up first, so it may be up to Zhao Yu to use his climbing skills to climb up first.

"Great, let's get ready, let's find out if there's a suitable rope." Bai Rong said happily.

Gu Ziyuan smiled: "Silly girl, the method is not bad, but in the wilderness, where did the rope come from?" ”

"yes." Bai Rong was annoyed, but this didn't bother her, "Then use the vines near the entrance of the cave, and we also pulled the vines when we fell."

The vine didn't fall. These wild vines are all sturdy, and collecting a little more should be usable. ”

After that, she picked up a lot of vines and began to make her own rope: "If you twist the vines together like me, you will get acquainted better, and you are not afraid that they will break, so you will pull me up first, and let me try if this vine can withstand it." ”

"Nope." Gu Ziyuan was the first not to agree, but his mouth was quickly covered by a white and tender hand.

"I don't want you to think." Bai Rong interrupted Gu Ziyuan's disagreement forcefully and domineeringly, and turned his head to Zhao Yu and said affirmatively: "Don't listen to him, just listen to me, I will work lightly, and if the vine breaks, you can jump back into the cave." ”

For the first time, Gu Ziyuan felt that he couldn't say anything about Bai Rong.

Staying in the cave, Bai Rong kept twisting the vines, carefully and seriously, she wanted to make a rope that would not break and was long enough, just in case, she didn't want to be the culprit who let Gu Ziyuan fall.

When she finally made a vine rope that was almost as long as possible, she tied one end of the rope tightly to Zhao Yu's body, just in case he let go, she could hold him and prevent him from falling off the cliff.

"Then I'll go up first, you guys have to be careful later." Zhao Yu was ready to leave the cave.

He had already written a note and dropped it off the cliff, and the masked men should have found the note written on it and told them to go to the top of the cliff and wait for him.

Bai Rong nodded: "Lord Zhao should also be careful." ”

Zhao Yu didn't say much, and instead concentrated on climbing, his hands had worn out a lot of places, but he still endured and continued to climb, fortunately, the distance was indeed not as high as climbing from the bottom of the cliff to the cave, and finally climbed up in one breath.

The speed of those masked people was also very fast, and they ran up and waited with light skills, and when they saw Zhao Yu, they hurriedly greeted them.

After Zhao Yu explained briefly, he began to ask them to pull people up, first Bai Rong, the rope was really strong, and Bai Rong's body was very light, and after a while, he was pulled up, and they threw the rope down.

Gu Ziyuan, who had already been supported at the entrance of the cave, caught the rope and tightened it with all his strength, although he didn't have the strength to stand up, but after resting for a while, the strength in his hand still recovered a little.

After being frightened and seeing Gu Ziyuan being successfully pulled up, Bai Rong's eyes were astringent, and he hugged him excitedly.
