Chapter 617: Salvation (1)
Qin Yining urged her husband along the way, but she was already in a hurry and couldn't take care of anything else. She clutched the lattice and mattress with both hands, fine beads of sweat on her forehead, and she couldn't calm down at all.
When you hear a human voice, will it be a coward?
What if Li Qitian harms Xiao Xiao underground?
What if Xiao Xiao had already died at that time, and only Li Qitian was found?
Bingtang held a handkerchief on the side to help her wipe her sweat, and pinched her hand with a slight effort: "Princess, be calm, it must be the prince who is going to be saved, don't scare yourself!" ”
Qin Yining's ears were buzzing, and he hadn't heard the words of Bingtang's persuasion.
In a hurry, Bingtang grabbed Qin Yining's hand and pinched it according to the acupuncture points at the tiger's mouth.
Qin Yining was in pain, and his thoughts gradually returned to clarity.
"Rock candy?"
"Princess, the prince must be safe and sound, don't mess with yourself."
Qin Yining came back to his senses, and his gaze gradually returned to clarity.
She knew that Rock Candy was right, and she didn't know what kind of situation she would encounter when she got to the mountain, and she had to calm down before she could command the overall situation. In case someone wants to take advantage of the fact that the owl is about to be rescued, she can also remedy it in time.
Qin Yining took a few deep breaths before he calmed himself down and nodded, "I'm fine." ”
Bingtang breathed a sigh of relief and held Qin Yining's hand tightly, soothing her emotions all the time.
Not only Qin Yining was nervous, but even Bingtang and Jiyun couldn't help but be nervous. The days of waiting were difficult, but there was no news, at least they had hope. Once the prince really has an accident, none of them know what to do, let alone the princess who has a deep relationship with the prince?
Bingtang and Jiyun admired Qin Yining from the bottom of their hearts, if it was on them, they couldn't be sure that they would be as strong as Qin Yining.
The carriage arrived quickly and steadily at the mountain. Qin Yining put on a sliding rod and was carried to the scene of the incident by the guards around him.
At this time, the sky was already dark, the night was dark, there were no stars and no moon, and from a distance, you could see many Ji Zeyu's relatives and Jinghu guards holding torches around one place, and the smoke dyed on the torches gradually melted into the night, only the breath was filled with the mixed breath of torch burning and dampness after the rain.
Qin Yining got off the sliding pole and walked over with his waist and the servant girl served.
The closer it gets, the movement in the midst of everyone is clear, obviously everyone is digging hard at this time, everyone keeps reminding each other, Ji Zeyu is even more personally out of battle with his arms and sleeves, and constantly reminds the people inside: "Stand back a little, so as not to have rocks falling when the hole is dug up." ”
Qin Yining pursed her lips and stood in place, she knew that she couldn't help much, and getting in the way would get in the way, so she just watched from afar.
When the matter came, he was about to see the results, and Qin Yining's heart finally calmed down. She believed that Xiao Xiao would be safe and sound, no matter what happened, Qin Yining believed that she could bear and face it.
Ji Zeyu led people to dig carefully by the light of the torches, digging while talking to the inside. Because the stones and earth in the middle were so thick, and the noise of the excavation, the people outside could not hear what the people inside were saying, and they could not tell who was speaking from the sounds.
Qin Yining pursed his lips and stared at the excavation with expectant eyes, refusing to let go of any details.
The people had been digging hard for an hour, and the big and small stones were easily removed, thanks to a rain a few days ago, the soil was not as soft as before, otherwise the soil around the pit would fall to the mouth of the hole, and soon everyone's efforts would be in vain.
"Okay, okay, I see!"
"Quick, pull, pull!"
Soon, Qin Yining vaguely saw that there were two hands digging in the cave, Ji Zeyu and several military men held which hand, and after everyone quickly moved away the soil around them, the owner of the two hands poked his head out.
It's Li Qitian!
Qin Yining's hands clenched violently, and the disappointment in his eyes was about to be unable to hide, and soon the disappointment was replaced by worry.
Li Qitian was saved, what about the owl?
Ji Zeyu took Li Qitian's hand, and when the entrance of the cave expanded to a certain extent, he struggled to pull the person out.
As Li Qitian stood still, the entrance to the cave collapsed again.
Ji Zeyu and the others looked at Li Qitian, who was covered in blood and mud, and exuded the smell of mold and decay and blood, and was only cold for a moment, and then saluted in unison.
"Holy Peace!"
Qin Yining came back to his senses and saluted with the help of rock candy and Jiyun.
Li Qitian stood at the entrance of the cave in a daze, as if he couldn't believe that he could still get out of the dungeon alive, and when he raised his head, it was a dark night, and the smell of rotten blood on his body was no longer the moldy breath in the dungeon, and the smell of blood that had rotted on his body was also diluted by the fresh air.
Turning to look at the situation in front of him, Li Qitian's brows couldn't help frowning.
Because of everyone, he only knew Ji Zeyu and Qin Yining, and the rest of the helpers seemed to have the entourage around Xiao Xiao, and the rest should be Ji Zeyu's subordinates.
Why didn't the officials of the DPRK and China and the rest of the generals bring people to excavate? Why didn't you see the palace arranging for the inner prison to come out?
Li Qitian wasn't sure how long he had been buried in the ground. But he can be sure that things seem to be starting to go in a direction he doesn't want.
When everyone saluted, Qin Yining had already gotten up, walked to the entrance of the cave, knelt down and dug the soil with difficulty.
The etiquette was exhausted, and Li Qitian only stood without saying a word, let alone ordering people to continue digging, wasn't Xiao Xiao inside?
"Lord Wang? Are you in there? Qin Yining pressed his face against the dirt and asked loudly inside.
She didn't hear the response inside.
But her voice brought Li Qitian back to his senses.
Li Qitian's face showed a look of struggle, looking at Qin Yining digging with two maidservants, and then looking at Ji Zeyu and the rest of the soldiers who were looking at him with burning eyes in front of him, Li Qitian finally cleared his throat and said, "Don't just care about saluting." Prince Chungshun is still inside. ”
Qin Yining made a move in his hand, and suddenly looked back at Li Qitian with a look of ecstasy.
Ji Zeyu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Obey!" He took someone forward to replace Qin Yining and the others.
Qin Yining's cheeks and skirt were full of dirt, and her hands were cut by stones, and blood and dirt were mixed together, but she didn't feel pain at all, she just looked at the direction of the excavation stupidly.
Li Qitian looked at Qin Yining with a big belly, guarding the scene so embarrassed, and he didn't know how long she had been guarding, and he felt a bad feeling in his heart.
Something happened to him, and he didn't see the queen coming, the queen mother, or the courtiers he reused.
But the family members of the owl are still on the scene with such a big belly, and they don't care if they look so embarrassed.
