The situation that had only been eased became dangerous again in an instant.

The huge impact force instantly made the remaining horses unable to bear a few steps forward, but without the most central force, it was obvious that they could not pull the heavy carriage with the strength of these people.

Yuxue, who was lying on the carriage, naturally noticed this, he secretly gritted his teeth, flipped his body lightly, and entered the carriage with strength.

At this time, Zhao Yancheng had already had a bloodless face, and when he saw Yuxue coming in, his face was heavy, so he felt that the situation was not good, and he said tremblingly: "Can't think of a way?" ”

Yuxue wrapped the broken reins around Zhao Yancheng's body on one side, and wrapped it around his waist on the other side, and said, "If you can't pull this carriage, let's find a way to jump out-"

Yuxue turned around and kicked the already crumbling car door open, and the cold wind poured in instantly, Zhao Yancheng had lost the only composure, and muttered: "Impossible, it's so urgent, it's death to jump out-"

Yuxue looked firm and said: "Jump out, there is still a glimmer of life, if you stay in the carriage, you will definitely die, Lord Zhao, I am on the orders of His Majesty to escort you to Xizhou, please believe me." ”

I don't know why, seeing the young man in front of him, Zhao Yancheng suddenly felt moved, but the situation in front of him couldn't give them much time to react.

Yuxue tightly pulled the reins in her hand, and held the car door with the other hand, while Zhao Yancheng clutched the reins on her body with both hands, ready to obey Yuxue's instructions at any time.

Even he didn't notice that he completely believed that the young man under the age of eighteen in front of him was getting closer, and he could gradually see the edge of the cliff in this position of the rain and snow.

Yuxue almost held his breath, estimating the direction in which the carriage would fall, and suddenly he saw a pine tree growing obliquely on the side of the cliff.

It's close, it's close!

The carriage was closer to the cliff, and he could even tell the cold wind and damp smell below the cliff.

Suddenly, he said succinctly and quickly, "Jump—"

Zhao Yancheng almost subconsciously followed Yuxue's movements and jumped out, not even knowing what was waiting for him.

There was a thud, and only the carriage could be heard hitting the rocks on the side, and the car tilted, and then rolled down, and after a few sounds of hitting the cliff wall, there was no more sound.

At this time, Yuxue, with Zhao Yancheng, was hanging on the branches of the pine tree on the side, his finger joints were white and tightly grasping the rough branches of the pine tree, and Zhao Yancheng was almost hanging on the waist of Yuxue.

No matter how rainy and snowy it is, he is still a teenager after all, at this time, he only feels that his waist is torn and hurts as if it is about to break, but he does not dare to let go, because he knows that as long as he lets go, only death awaits them.

At this critical moment, the first thing he thought of was He Xi, and he suddenly became a little proud, if she was still there, would he praise him, because he was no longer the Xiaoyu who wanted to give up his life easily and would constantly trouble people.

His hands gradually became numb, and suddenly he sensed a force leading him upward, and he looked up, only to see that the few people accompanying him had followed.

This pine tree is already an ancient tree, and the branches that grow in the oblique thorns can be safely withstood by a person.

Soon, Yuxue and Zhao Yancheng were pulled up, Zhao Yancheng tried to stand up a few times but couldn't stand up, but he felt that his hands and feet were soft and weak, but he was very concerned about Yuxue, and when he saw someone to check Yuxue's injury, he hurriedly asked, "How is it?" Is the injury serious? ”

The person in charge of checking the injury was the guard who accosted Zhao Yanchen today, his expression changed a few times, and he took a deep breath and said: "Don't worry, Lord Zhao, Yu Xuefu has a big life, but his muscles are slightly strained, and he can't use force in the near future, but he is still young and out of the way, just rest for a while——"

Zhao Yancheng breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "That's good-that's good-"

At this time, the person in charge of the investigation had returned, and the guard's left hand unconsciously touched the long knife on his waist-

Zhao Yancheng looked at the man: "Can you find out what's going on?" ”

The guard looked around, shook his head, and said, "If you go back to your lordship, the carriage has fallen off the cliff without any clue, and as for the horses that have just gone crazy, their subordinates saw the corpse halfway up the mountain, and it seems that they have stumbled and rushed off the cliff and died——"

Zhao Yancheng frowned and said, "Misstep? Fell to his death—"

His eyes flashed slightly, and he suddenly said: "Forget it, since there is no clue, let's not delay the time, it is best to be able to get to the post house before dark today, and the injury of Yuxue has to be taken by the doctor——"

Everyone didn't expect that Zhao Yanchen had no intention of continuing to investigate, and the guard who was squatting beside Yuxue also breathed a sigh of relief.

What he didn't expect was that this rain and snow was so lucky, and he could take Zhao Yancheng out of the way under such circumstances, and at this time, not only did he not complete the task, but he actually gave him such a big credit for nothing, if he got Zhao Yancheng's trust this time, if he wanted to do it in the future, I am afraid it would be even more difficult.

Thinking like this, he turned around and said, "My subordinates should be damned, my subordinates clearly checked the carriage before leaving, and there was nothing unusual about it, but I don't want such a thing to happen, and I ask the adults to punish him——"

Zhao Yancheng didn't expect that someone would take the initiative to mention it, he quietly glanced at a few people around him, with a look of surprise on his face, only Yuxue, and his half-closed eyes were slightly frowned, as if he was in pain.

His heart moved slightly, but there was no expression on his face, and he said with a sigh: "If I remember correctly, it is clear that the carriage had a problem first, which alarmed the horses, and then the following thing happened—but just now you said that the carriage was checked by you, what went wrong?" ”

The guard seemed to be shocked in his heart, knelt down and said urgently: "My lord is suspicious of his subordinates, subordinates - subordinates-"

He seemed to be recalling something, and suddenly his face was happy, and he said: "When his subordinates checked the carriage at that time, Yuxue also saw it, and he also came over to talk to his subordinates, and his subordinates said that they were inspecting the carriage, and then everyone said that they were going to go, and their subordinates went to lead their horses." ”

As soon as these words came out, even Zhao Yancheng clearly felt weird, he looked at Yuxue, who was already half-sitting up at this time, but his waist and abdomen were obviously injured, and he could only half-lean on the stone on the side.

When he saw that everyone was looking at him, he said, "He is right, I did see him checking the wheels." ”

Didn't you defend yourself? Zhao Yancheng's expression was complicated, but at this moment, if he was asked to believe it, Yuxue was the one who estimated the trap, and he would not believe it no matter what.

Because he didn't believe it, this young man who was calm and alert, and wanted to save his own life regardless of his own life, would be the mastermind behind this matter, he Zhao Yancheng could come to this point in the court safely, and even after the defeat of Lan Zhili, he could still sit firmly in the position of Shangshu, and his heart must not be simple.

He coughed, as if he was unwell, and his face also leaked a little tired, and said: "This matter, there are many suspicions, but this place is close to Xizhou, and the people who sabotage this mutual market will definitely try their best to stop us, and we must be careful in everything, this matter, the official will investigate it slowly, okay, let's hurry first." ”

When everyone saw Zhao Yanchen speak, they could only obey orders, and without the carriage, Zhao Yancheng had to get on the horse, but he was not good at riding, but fortunately, the horses in the rain and snow were docile, and there were no problems along the way.

However, there was a delay on the way, and by the time we arrived at the station, the city gate was closed.

As a last resort, Zhao Yanchen had to send someone to call the door, but the documents and things proving his identity had already rolled off the cliff with the carriage.

Sure enough, the soldiers guarding the city heard that Zhao Yancheng was sent by His Majesty to send a minister, but they couldn't get anything, so they impatiently blasted the man away. Then he yawned, slowly returned to the porter and said with a smile: "Are people really stupid nowadays?" What else do you say that you are sent by Your Majesty, and that the Qincha has them like this? There is not even a carriage, all of them are disgraced, if they are Qincha, Lao Tzu will still be the king of heaven Lao Tzu - come, drink and drink-"

The soldiers who drank and had fun together also echoed one after another, and the noise was endless, and suddenly the person who had just gone out heard the sound of the door calling again, he snapped the cards in his hand, and scolded viciously: "It's really fucking disappointing, I lost again, knock knock, it's really like a ghost, Qi Xiao, anyway, you don't want to be in the same stream with people like us, you go to the door——"

The people around all had a look of amusement on their faces, and no one stood up to speak for the soldier in the corner, and the man was not annoyed when he heard this, but silently raised his knife and went in the direction of the door.

The man looked even more displeased, and scolded: "There is a person outside who pretends to be an official of the imperial court, and there is a person next to him who daydreams all day long, and he doesn't pee to take care of himself, to see what he looks like, he can only guard the city gate at this border, and he still wants to add an official to the knighthood, I'm bah-"

As soon as this remark came out, someone immediately retorted: "This is not right, although people Qixiao doesn't like to talk, but that fist and foot kung fu, I have seen it, not to mention a few of us, looking at the whole Xizhou, I think there are few people who can defeat him, in terms of ability, just to be a little city defender, it is really difficult for him——"

The man was swept away, how could he bear it, blushing and arguing: "What's the use of fists and feet, no family background, no background, you can only be a worm in the lower class, and he still has an old lady to take care of, in this life, he doesn't want to leave Xizhou!" ”
