Text Chapter 295: The Battle of the King and the Daughter 09 Choice
Everyone came over curiously to see the raft that Nangong Yu had brought back, which was more like a big basket, muttering, each with doubts.
Nangong Yu was not interested in explaining, but pulled Yan Ziyue to sit down against the rock, hugged her into his arms, closed his eyes and recuperated.
Yan Ziyue didn't feel sleepy, her fingers knocked on Nangong Yu's chest, and when she looked up, she just saw his angular chin, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch it.
Nangong Yu closed his eyes, grabbed it, grabbed Yan Ziyue's hand in his palm, pressed it on his chest, and didn't let him move.
Seeing this, Yan Ziyue also quieted down, lying on Nangong Yu's chest, and did not move again, but her eyes were locked on the flickering scepter in the distance.
As soon as the sky was bright, Nangong Yu woke up, put Yan Ziyue in the arms of the split sky, and walked towards the waterfall alone.
Yan Ziyue woke up, the sky was already bright, and she glanced at everyone who was there, but Nangong Yu was missing.
"Splitting the sky, what about Nangong forgiving others"?
"I think he wanted to go to the top of the waterfall first."
"He's alone"?
"Hmm...".
Yan Ziyue looked up in the direction of the waterfall when she heard this, a little worried.
After waiting for about an hour, Nangong Yu came back wet with a few more ropes in his hands.
"It's back, this is..."Yan Ziyue stepped forward and asked.
Nangong Yu smiled lightly and replied, "It was prepared by the high priest."
"Away... Then they are all waiting for us on the altar."
"Yes...".
"I understand", Yan Ziyue thought for a while and had an idea in her heart.
"Yue'er, what are you going to do"?
Yan Ziyue smiled, looked at Nangong Yu and said sincerely: "Nangong Pardon, you don't have to worry about my thoughts, you can just do as you like."
"Yue'er... Don't you know my mind? What do you think, tell me".
"I really don't need to", Yan Ziyue said and looked at the top of the waterfall, her firm belief never wavered.
Nangong Yu looked at Yan Ziyue, revealing a faint sadness, because there was always an illusion that Yan Ziyue could not be grasped firmly, and sometimes, it felt that it was clearly close at hand, but far away from the end of the world.
"It's not too early, let's go", Yan Ziyue looked back at Nangong and said.
Nangong Yu nodded, let everyone talk about the situation of the waterfall, and told everyone that His Royal Highness King Qi and other civil and military officials were on the altar at this time, and the rope had been suspended in the waterfall, and after going up, it was the altar, but the water flow was fierce and it was not easy to go up.
Everyone listened, looked at each other, and thought about each other, but they all knew in their hearts that the one who could go up was a quasi-prince, and the princess who went up first obtained the scepter and became a princess.
Yan Fengyi and Yan Fengyuan also knew in their hearts that they had their own plans.
Nangong pardoned everyone was silent, so he said: "From here to the bottom of the waterfall, the water is turbulent, and you can't know water, so you will go to the raft later."
Everyone agreed, and they went together in the direction of the waterfall.
The water was knee-high, and the raft also floated, and the four of them, including Nangong Yu, Split Sky, Luo Zihang, and Wei Changjun, bypassed the rope around the raft, or tied it around their waists or shouldered their shoulders.
Zhuo Zhao was the first to send Yan Fengyuan to the raft, his eyes signaled to reassure her, and told her to hurry.
Bai Luochen also sent Yan Fengyi on the raft, and when Ming Chi saw this, he hurriedly climbed onto the raft and found a corner that he thought was the safest.
Yan Ziyue persuaded Lei Yunting to get on the raft, persuaded him for a long time, and in desperation, he forcibly sent him up, and threatened that if he drove him down, he would be angry.
"Zhuo Zhao, you're injured, go up", Nangong Yu said in an unquestionable tone.
Zhuo Zhao hesitated for a moment, and after thinking about it, he decided to listen to Nangong pardon and climbed up.
"Yue'er, you go up too."
"I don't use it".
"Yue'er, you have to conserve your strength, and there will be more tests in a while."
"Ziyue, you still listen to Nangong's pardon, go up", Split Sky also persuaded.
"Don't".
Nangong Yu looked at the stubborn Yan Ziyue, there was really no way, so he had to say: "Then you come here, hold on to me", said, took Yan Ziyue's hand and held it tightly.
Nangong Yu and others were in front, and the others were holding the raft, on both sides, swimming towards the waterfall, on the way the water was deep enough to the chest, and Stan was choked again and again, so he had to climb onto the raft, and after that, Bai Luochen was injured and almost drowned, and finally was pushed onto the raft. The raft was loaded, the water surface rose, the resistance became greater, and Nangong Yu and the others swam very hard, and the advance speed was extremely slow.
Seeing this, Yan Ziyue asked the people on both sides to turn to the back of the raft, pushing forward, the more he took the bottom of the waterfall, the greater the force of the water, the impact of the gradually rising splash, hitting the person's body, and instantly soaking the clothes.
Nangong Yu caught a glimpse of Yan Ziyue behind the raft, and unconsciously became worried, paddling forward, while looking back at her from time to time, for fear that an inattentive person would disappear.
Finally at the bottom of the waterfall, Nangong Yu and the others pulled the raft aside and tied it to the stone with a rope so that it would not be washed away by the current.
"Yue'er, are you okay", Nangong Yu pulled Yan Ziyue by the hand, seeing that she was soaking wet, her clothes were stuck to her body, highlighting her delicate and graceful curves, and her neckline was also loose, and the snow white on her chest was faintly visible, so she quickly tidied it up for Yan Ziyue, and then said: "Yue'er, when you climb up for a while, follow me, you know"?
"Hmm...", Yan Ziyue nodded.
Bai Luotian swam to the bottom of the waterfall first, and after probing back, he said: "There are only three ropes in total, it seems that they are prepared for the three princesses."
When everyone listened, they all knew in their hearts, which meant that they were going to start choosing now, choosing which princess's camp to stand in, at this time, everyone looked at Nangong Yu, knowing that among all the people, Nangong Yu's martial arts were the highest, and Nangong Yu's choice was the biggest chance of winning.
"Nangong pardon, have you figured it out, which princess do you want to support"? Hua Yu looked at Nangong Yu and asked, and the meaning of persuasion in her words couldn't be more obvious.
Nangong Yu glanced at Hua Yu, did not speak, but made a stand with his actions, put one hand on Yan Ziyue's shoulder, and pulled her into his arms.
"Nangong pardon, don't be emotional, it's better to think about it carefully, the princess is related to national affairs, not your children's private affairs", Hua Yu further persuaded.
"Nangong pardon...", Yan Fengyi looked at Nangong pardon, and stopped talking.
Nangong Yu was silent for a while, looked at Yan Ziyue and said, "I just want to be with Yue'er, the rest is not important to me."
When this sentence came out, Yan Fengyi's heart was broken, and Yan Fengyuan's eyes were a little more jealous.
"Hua Yu, if he doesn't want to, we don't want to force it, without him, it doesn't mean that we don't have a chance of winning", Bai Luo Tiandao.
At the same time, Zhuo Zhao took Yan Fengyuan's hand and stood firmly beside her.
Chen Che, Si Dan, and Ming Chi decided to remain neutral and give up the choice for the time being, because for them, the position of the prince is the goal, and they don't mind which princess sits on the throne.
Luo Zihang said privately that he hoped that Yan Ziyue would become the princess, but considering the brotherhood, he hoped that Yan Ziyue could marry Nangong Yu, a couple in one life.
Bai Luotian pulled Hua Yu and Bai Luochen, and asked Wei Changjun again, and the four of them began to discuss with Yan Fengyi how to climb the waterfall.
Yan Fengyuan looked at the injured Zhuo Zhao, knowing that he had no chance of winning, although he didn't want to believe it, he had to accept the facts, but his inner unwillingness could not be calmed.
Yan Ziyue was not in a hurry, she first looked at Lei Yunting's injuries and asked, "Can you do it?"
"Princess, it's okay, I can do it".
"Well, I believe you".
Yan Fengyi and the others had already agreed, and the five of them passed by Nangong Yu and went towards the waterfall. Yan Fengyi's eyes had a lot of emotions, but seeing that Nangong Yu was so resolute, she didn't mean to look at her at all, she was sad, her eyes moved to Yan Ziyue, and she strengthened her determination to fight.
Yan Fengyi and the others decisively chose a rope on the left side, Wei Changjun was the first to go up, blocking the momentum of the water with his flesh and blood, Bai Luochen was second, Yan Fengyi was in the middle, Hua Yu followed, and Bai Luotian was broken. The water momentum of the waterfall was too great, Wei Changjun climbed up against the splash, every step was very difficult, and Yan Fengyi's strength was not enough, he just climbed up for a short distance and then slipped down, which directly caused Hua Yu and Bai Luotian to be unable to grasp the rope and fell into the water together.
"Feng Yi...", Bai Luochen glanced back and shouted.
Wei Changjun couldn't open his eyes at all, and he couldn't let go, so he had to stay in place and didn't dare to move.
When Nangong Yu and the others heard the sound, they looked over and saw Yan Fengyi entering the water, causing a series of splashes.
When Yan Fengyuan saw this, her face was frightened, but there was a smile hidden at the corner of her mouth, revealing her true thoughts.
Yan Ziyue and the others watched, and it was not until Yan Fengyi and the others showed their heads above the water that they were relieved.
"Nangong pardon, I want to ask... I mean, I don't know how to water, and I know I can't do it, and I've decided to give up the fight for the throne... It's just that Zhuo Zhao is injured, will we be kept here forever?" Yan Feng said and looked at Zhuo Zhao, gentle and kind, but behaved weak and helpless.
Nangong Yu glanced at Yan Fengyuan, thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, I promise I won't leave you here, and I will definitely take you up."
"Really? That... Thank you", Yan Fengyuan looked at Nangong Yu gratefully, with affection in his eyes.
"You stay on this raft for the time being, I'll find a way," Nangong Yu added.
"Hmm... Well, I'll listen to you."
Nangong Yu looked at the waterfall, Yan Fengyi and the others were still working hard, and they climbed up again, but in the end, they couldn't resist the huge impact of the water, and all five people rushed down.
Nangong Yu and the others also swam over, standing in the water with stable feet, water and chin, Yan Ziyue was not tall enough, so she had to help Nangong Yu, Lei Yunting's leg was injured and was supported by the split sky.
Yan Fengyi and the others struggled to surface from the water, very embarrassed, looking at Nangong Yu and the others in front of them, their self-esteem was greatly damaged, and they desperately wanted to continue trying to grab the rope and climb up.
"Okay, don't be reluctant, let's think of other ways together", Nangong said.
Wei Changjun glanced at Nangong Pardon, it was hard to say anything, Bai Luochen looked unwilling to admit defeat, and said angrily: "Nangong Pardon, what do you mean, we don't need your help."
"yes, unless you're willing to change your mind," Hua Yu added.
"I won't change my mind, if you have the confidence to go up, you can continue to do well."
When Bai Luotian heard this, he persuaded: "Let's all calm down, we won't go up like this now, don't be reluctant, let's think about whether there is any other way."
"Nangong pardon, I know this is not a difficult thing for you, you can take Yan Ziyue up and get the scepter, don't worry about us", Yan Fengyi said, her eyes lowered, and she turned her face sideways to look away.
