Chapter Seventy-Two: Truth or Duty

"Hey! Long Yuechen, what did you think at the beginning, such a cold person, why didn't you stupidly come to me, I'm so powerful, I don't need you to save me, if it weren't for you, I would have gone back a long time ago! ”

At the bottom of the cliff, which was dark, there was a whining voice, and the voice was a little hoarse and bitter.

Xia Qiqi used her thin body to support Long Yuechen's body, walking forward step by step.

The bottom of the cliff was pitch black, Xia Qiqi couldn't see anything, Long Yuechen told her to go wherever she went, at this time, she inexplicably gave birth to a sense of security in her heart, as if as long as there was this man by her side, she was not afraid of anything.

Behind them, there was a wolf and a snow-white snow fox sitting on the wolf's back.

The wolf woke up not long after they found it, and after waking up, he glanced at Xia Qiqi and Long Yuechen, and then stood up and followed them.

When the black wolf was fighting the black-clothed killer, his right hind leg was cut by the killer's scimitar, and now there is still blood left, which looks shocking, and when he walks, he has been limping.

The snow fox on his back was different. In good spirits, a pair of big eyes were slippery, looking at Xia Qiqi's back, holding an unknown wild fruit in his hand, giggling and gnawing, making a strange sound at the bottom of this quiet cliff.

When the snow fox jumped on the back of the black wolf, Xia Qiqi was going to catch it, and the black wolf was so seriously injured because they naturally didn't want it to suffer anymore.

But the snow fox stretched out her hand quickly, her hand couldn't even touch its hair, and then the black wolf took the initiative to shake her head, as if to tell her not to care, she gave up, but from time to time she would turn her head and glare at the snow fox fiercely.

Long Yuechen listened to Xia Qiqi's words, was stunned for a moment, looked at her deeply, and was reluctant to speak.

Xia Qiqi didn't get Long Yuechen's answer for a long time, and she was already a little irritable in her heart, but the sound of the snow fox gnawing on the fruit behind was so loud, her heart became more and more uncomfortable, and she yelled at the back.

"Eat, eat, eat! You know how to eat, eat to death you forget it! ”

Snow Fox seemed to understand Xia Qiqi's words, holding the remaining half of the fruit in his hand, and baring his teeth at Xia Qiqi, but after that, he didn't eat much.

"Long Yuechen, where are we going now?"

After walking for a long time, Xia Qiqi finally couldn't help it, since she was kidnapped last night, until now, she hasn't eaten a little, her body is still injured, and now she is not only in pain, but also hungry in her stomach, and she also has a Long Yuechen on her body, she is afraid that she will die of exhaustion here before she goes out.

"We're now walking west to the bottom of the cliff, where we landed."

Long Yuechen said seriously.

It turned out that when Xia Qiqi first woke up, he was anxious and flustered, so he ran around, and finally went around to the east of the place where they fell.

And Long Yuechen is planning to go back now.

Jing Yi and Wei Heng are not vegetarians, seeing that he has disappeared for so long, he will definitely come to them, and there is also Long Lingyue, she also knows their situation, they only need to return to the place where they first fell now.

Above there, at the top of the cliff, there were traces of his battles with the black-clad killers.

Jing Yi and they will definitely find traces when they find it, and from there, all they have to do now is to wait in place, waiting for them to come down to find him.

He was not familiar with the environment, and it would be even more troublesome if they left in a hurry.

"Go back to where you are!"

Xia Qiqi wondered in his heart, "Shouldn't we find a way to go?" ”

Now it was getting darker and darker, and God knew when the ferocious beasts would come back, and if one of them came, she would still be able to barely hold on, but if a group came, then they would really be in the womb of the beasts.

"This is the bottom of the cliff, there is no way out."

Long Yuechen looked at her, and Xia Qiqi was completely desperate in his heart.

Didn't you say that a hunting tournament is held every year, and the emperor participates in the hunting tournament every year? That Long Yuechen should know the situation here very well, how can there be no way out!

Long Yuechen also seemed to sense the doubts in her heart, and explained to her for the first time.

"This is the easternmost point of the cliff, and the easternmost point of the entire Jialing, and further east, is the ocean. The Black Mist Forest is very large, and if we change to other road routes, we can't finish walking for ten days and ten nights, Jing Yi and they are probably already looking for us, so we just need to wait for them to come to the rescue. ”

Xia Qiqi looked at her and nodded, Long Yuechen analyzed it very thoroughly, and she quickly understood.

……

They didn't go far before the two returned to the place where they had fallen off the cliff.

The Black Mist Forest is an ancient forest, so for many years, under the influence of strong winds, the entire cliff has been smoothed, and when he came down, he used the short knives of those killers to cut through the cliff to reduce the momentum, so there will definitely be marks on the cliff, as long as they look for it, they will definitely find it.

Long Yuechen's injuries at this time were very serious, many of the wounds were still bleeding, and as soon as he got there, Xia Qiqi helped him to do it next to the cliff at the bottom of the cliff.

Looking at his wounds all over his body and his cold expression, he pursed his lips, and finally couldn't bear to speak.

"Long Yuechen, why did you come to me this time, you are a dignified emperor, what if something really happens, there are still thousands of people in Jialing who need you, if something really happens to you, or because of me, your people will definitely blame me."

As he spoke, Xia Qiqi sniffed again.

She was really afraid that his people would blame her, she just felt very guilty in her heart, and she felt guilty about Long Yuechen.

What a proud person Long Yuechen is, since she came to this world, she has never seen him injured, but this time she was so seriously injured because of her affairs, she really couldn't help it.

She was used to being lonely in her previous life, and this time someone was so seriously injured in order to save her, how could she be calm in her heart.

"It's my own business, and they're here for me."

Long Yuechen's eyes flickered strongly, and he didn't look at Xia Qiqi's face.

When he first came to look for her, he didn't think of this in his heart, he only knew that she was in danger, and if he didn't go to her quickly, he might never see her again.

Going to her was completely an instinctive action of his body.

"Even if it's for you, you can't use it, it's obviously a trap, you're so smart, can't you see it!"

Xia Qiqi was a little angry, and he didn't know if he was angry with Long Yuechen, or angry that he was so easy to be caught.

"I still need your guidance to do things!"

Long Yuechen looked at her, a smile on the corner of his mouth.

The light was dim, and Xia Qiqi didn't see it.

"I ...... I care about you, okay......"

Automatically lowers your own voice.

She was really sick, and she came to care about him inexplicably, obviously no one cared, and she said a lot of stupid things.

Sure enough, he was sick and covered his head.

A strange idea popped into my head.

"Long Yuechen, you are so good to me, there should be no intentions, right?"

After speaking, he hugged his chest as if he was doing something.

Long Yuechen noticed her movements, glanced at her lightly, and found that she looked nervous at this time.

Suddenly hooked his lips and smiled, and said coldly.

"There's something about you that I can try to do."

Xia Qiqi was stunned after hearing this.

Blow, this is simply a naked blow!

She really has nothing to give him, if you want to talk about money and jewelry, what people have is the wealth of the whole country, and even the monthly silver she has every month is given by him.

If you want to talk about beauty, Xia Lisheng's face naturally has nothing to say, but I don't know if it's a genetic problem, Xia Lisheng's figure is not very good, especially in the chest, I just don't want to talk about it.

What's more, Long Yuechen is the king of a country, that is a person with three thousand beauties in the harem, no one has ever seen any peerless beauty, unless he is full of food and support, he will look at her dry porridge side dishes!

"Then why the hell are you so nice to me?"

Xia Qiqi was unwilling in her heart, stubbornly wanting to know the answer, she had never been so stubborn about an answer before, but today, she just wanted to know an answer from Long Yuechen's mouth, just like if she didn't ask why, her heart was uncomfortable.

"I'm not treating you well, don't be mistaken, I'm just maintaining my dignity as the emperor of a country."

After speaking, there was silence, and Xia Qiqi's mood quickly fell.

After the wolf came here, he quickly fell asleep, and at Xia Qiqi's feet, the snow fox, who had been holding the wild fruit and gnawing on it, seemed to notice Xia Qiqi's sudden low mood, and miraculously threw away the red wild fruit in his hand, and rubbed Xia Qiqi's leg with his furry little face, as if he was comforting Xia Qiqi.

Xia Qiqi was stunned, glanced at the cute snow fox at her feet, and suddenly reached out to hug it, at this time the light was still very dim, she couldn't completely see the appearance of the snow fox, so she could only hold the snow fox in her arms, and groped on the snow fox's body with her right hand, smoothing its fur.

After a long time, he replied to Long Yuechen with an "oh"

And then there was no follow-up.

I don't seem to like the answer.

But it's also right to think about it.

Long Yuechen is the monarch of a country, this time he brought his concubine out to hunt, if when he went back, the people in Xia Qiqi's courtyard found that Xia Qiqi did not come back, then Emperor Jialing went out of the palace to hunt, and the matter of losing his concubine would definitely spread in various countries.

After so many years of open and secret fighting between various countries, the news that Emperor Jialing could not even protect his concubine suddenly spread the news would definitely make the world laugh at Emperor Jialing's incompetence.

If you explain it this way, it all makes sense.

It's just that Xia Qiqi's heart is a little sad.

In this way, it became completely an obligation for him to save her, out of an emperor's obligation to maintain his dignity.
