Chapter 76: Thrilling Escape
"What's wrong?" Mo Qi opened his mouth a little puzzled, thinking that Mo Shu had other calculations.
Mo Shu shook his head, didn't explain anything, and pulled Xiaoyun away.
He didn't believe Xiaoyun, so he wanted to see Xiaoyun under his nose.
Mo Qi watched him leave, shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and turned to go in the other direction.
On the other side, in the shaking carriage, Cheng Shuiyao woke up slowly, and just wanted to touch his sore neck, he found that his hands were tied.
The half-stretched hand was reluctantly put back, Cheng Shuiyao glanced at the feet that were also tied strongly, and turned his head to look at the surrounding environment.
Xiao Ji was unconscious not far from her, her whole body was tied by a rope, and there was no room to move.
Silently glancing at the pitiful rope on his body, Cheng Shuiyao sighed leisurely, and could see that the other party was very afraid of Xiao Ji.
However, she would not sit still, and moved to Xiao Ji's side with great effort, and then kicked him violently.
Xiao Ji was in pain, and the whole person suddenly woke up, and his sharp eyes looked directly at Cheng Shuiyao.
After seeing the face of the person in front of him clearly, Xiao Ji relaxed a little and began to look around.
Cheng Shuiyao shook his head at him, signaling that there was no one else here, and then laboriously spit out the cloth in his mouth, leaned into his ear and whispered, "What now?" ”
Xiao Ji twisted his eyebrows, gave her a look, and beckoned her to help remove the cloth from his mouth.
Cheng Shuiyao subconsciously raised her hand, but instantly noticed that something was wrong, hesitated slightly, and then cautiously approached Xiao Ji and bit off the piece of cloth in his mouth with his teeth.
The good smell of fragrance approached and left instantly, Xiao Ji didn't react to what had just happened, he realized that he could speak, and hurriedly spoke, "Moshu, they should have discovered what we didn't see at this time, let's delay a little and wait for them to save us." ”
Cheng Shuiyao nodded, and turned to speak, "There were so many people hiding there just now, why didn't you notice it?" ”
"They are too good at hiding their figures," Xiao Ji shook his head, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, "And judging by the looks and voices of those people, it is very likely that they are the father-in-law in the palace." ”
"Is my father-in-law's martial arts so good?" Cheng Shuiyao smacked her tongue slightly, feeling that her three views had been subverted.
"Their duty is to protect the emperor closely, and their martial arts are naturally one by one." Xiao Ji nodded, turned his head, and took the opportunity of the carriage curtain being blown by the wind to quickly look outside.
There was only one coachman in his sight who didn't seem to know martial arts at all, Xiao Ji frowned slightly, and after repeatedly confirming that he was not mistaken, he withdrew his gaze suspiciously.
It stands to reason that they should watch themselves die before leaving, why are they gone now?
Could it be that their goal is not in themselves, but in ......
Xiao Ji's face changed, and he was anxious to break free, but the rope was too tightly tied to him, and he couldn't move at all.
"Don't worry," Cheng Shuiyao calmly glanced at the way the rope was bound, and then leaned over and bit the knot hard.
The rope tightly tied to his body was suddenly broken away, and Xiao Ji moved his numb arm slightly to untie the rope for Cheng Shuiyao.
After the two of them were free, Xiao Ji looked outside the carriage again, and his face changed in an instant.
The driver of the carriage did not know where to go, and the horse ran forward on its own, seemingly oblivious to the cliff in front of him.
"Hold on to me later!"
didn't have time to explain anything, Xiao Ji directly pulled Cheng Shuiyao's arm.
Cheng Shuiyao didn't know what was about to happen, and at this time, the atmosphere didn't dare to make a sound, staring at Xiao Ji tightly.
The next moment, the carriage suddenly overturned forward, and in a whirlwind, Xiao Ji gritted his teeth and held Cheng Shuiyao's hand, and then jumped out of the car with his strength.
Their luck was not bad, Xiao Ji grabbed the vine closest to him, and the two of them were able to stop their falling figures.
Cheng Shuiyao bit her lower lip and looked at the abyss under her feet in fear, and couldn't help but shudder.
"Don't be afraid." Xiao Ji looked at the protruding rock plane on one side, exerted a slight force, and relied on inertia to send Cheng Shuiyao to that plane.
Cheng Shuiyao held the cliff with one hand, and with the other hand cautiously leaned forward, directly grabbing Xiao Ji's hand.
Xiao Ji secretly gritted his teeth, and then pounced hard, and finally stood on the rock plane.
"Stand inside!" Cheng Shuiyao inadvertently glanced at the top of the cliff, and directly dragged Xiao Ji to his side, and the two of them clinged to the cliff tightly.
On the cliff, the coachman cautiously approached the edge of the cliff, casually glanced down, and saw that the two of them were gone, so he quickly turned away.
On the rock plane, Xiao Ji raised his head nervously, and saw that the coachman above was gone, so he let go of his breath a little and took a step forward
Cheng Shuiyao was a little unsteady after being frightened so repeatedly, and squatted on the rock plane with her chest covered for a long time before she breathed a sigh of relief and slowly stood up.
Xiao Ji didn't speak, raised his head and looked at the cliff for a while, then pointed to the small raised rocks on it and said, "This cliff is not steep, you should be able to climb it." ”
"Climb up?" Cheng Shuiyao repeated it incredulously, hoping that she had misheard.
But Xiao Ji nodded seriously immediately afterward, directly shattering her hopes.
Cheng Shuiyao was a little hesitant, but she also knew that standing here was not a way, so after doing psychological construction for a while, she gritted her teeth and began to climb up slowly.
Xiao Ji carefully supported her underneath, and it was not until she stood safely on the cliff that she breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to climb up like Cheng Shuiyao.
Just as he was about to leave, the rock under his feet suddenly broke off without warning, Xiao Ji was not prepared at all, and after falling a few meters, he was able to drag the dead branch on the side so that he would not fall.
"Be careful!" Cheng Shuiyao opened her mouth worriedly, and handed her hand out as she spoke, but the distance was so far that she couldn't even touch the edge of Xiao Ji's clothes, let alone grab his hand.
"Let's take a shot!" Xiao Ji looked up at the dead branch that was about to break, and shook it with great effort.
One time, two times...... Soon, the withered branch couldn't bear Xiao Ji's weight and broke off diagonally.
Xiao Ji saw the right time, slammed his strength, and the whole person instantly leaned against the cliff.
Cheng Shuiyao guessed what he was going to do, instantly held his breath, and looked nervously below.
Xiao Ji didn't have the leisure to observe Cheng Shuiyao's expression now, and at the moment he was concentrating on looking up at the bulge above, silently estimating the distance.
Soon, his form moved, and he took several steps in succession, each time he stepped on the raised stone with precision, and was now only one step away from the edge of the cliff.
