But for a moment, she patted the corner of her clothes and stood up again, looking up at the sky, "There is still about an hour, we still have time, go back to the convoy to get some ropes first, and then go down to pick it up in time." ”

Lin Zheng pondered for a moment, it seemed that he really couldn't find a better way than Jiang Ning said, he nodded slightly, "Then let's go back together." ”

Jiang Ning calculated the time, it took them about an hour to walk up the mountain in total, if the two of them went down the mountain together and came up again, during this time, I am afraid that Shen Qingrong's blood would be drained.

"It's too late." She looked behind her, and the leaves covered the forest so tightly that it was difficult to see inside.

There may be a relict immortal hiding inside, but it is more likely that there are countless ferocious and brutal beasts and unknown assassins and dangers.

She swallowed her saliva, and looked at Lin Zheng's eyes still firm, "If you are alone, it may be too late, but if you drag me a burden, it will be impossible to complete it." ”

"No." His voice was still as indifferent as water, but in that indifference, there was a vague resoluteness that could not be ignored.

Since the day he met Jiang Ning, she has been framed by countless thieves, although she has survived every time because of good luck, but no one can say whether the next good luck will come again.

If this is destined to be a two-choice problem, Lin Zheng will naturally not use a thing that Mu Jingzhao has already planned to gamble on the unpredictable danger that Jiang Ning could not predict.

Jiang Ning sighed, knowing that he couldn't shake Lin Zheng, and continued to argue with the other party.

She looked left and right for a moment, her gaze fixed on the trunk of a vine-strewn tree, which was about the thickness of a finger, brownish brown with a bit of emerald, and in a very unreasonable gesture tightly entwined the whole tree, deeply embedded in the trunk.

She stepped forward in two steps and pulled the vines off the tree with one hand.

"How?" She held the vine and faced Lin Zheng with a smug expression, but she didn't see the appreciation she expected from the other party's eyes.

On the contrary, what she saw in the other party's eyes was a quiet flow of pity and distress.

Despite this, he stepped forward in two steps, swinging his knife and quickly slashing down a few vines, and in the shadow of the sword, all the vines full of trees fell to the ground.

Jiang Ning bent down and picked up the vines all over the ground one by one, "When I was a child, I often went to the mountains to climb trees and pick fruits, and once, when I was picking wild fruits on the trees, I didn't know that a big bird suddenly jumped out of there and scared me, so I stepped on the air. ”

Jiang Ning carefully arranged the vines in his hands, straightened up and exhaled.

She turned sideways slightly, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw that Lin Zheng behind her also stopped moving, as if she was waiting for her follow-up.

She smiled suddenly, "In desperation, I could only reach out and grab the vine in front of me, but I didn't expect it to be stronger than I thought, and it really could bear my weight." Otherwise, I'll probably break it. ”

As he spoke, Jiang Ning selected a green stick from the vine and tugged it hard. "I don't know if I can still bear my weight after all these years."

Behind him, Lin Zheng slashed the vines slightly.

"Niangniang, the minister is puzzled."

Jiang Ning looked back at him with a vine in his hand.

"Why are you taking such a big risk for the queen's mother?"

Although Lin Zheng is in the inner courtyard of the palace, he also thinks that he has met all kinds of people in the past ten years.

Naturally, he has also seen people who are willing to put life and death aside for the sake of others.

But the premise of all this must be that the two are relatives or lovers.

But I have never seen someone like Jiang Ning who sacrificed his life and forgot to die for the enemy.

"I only do what I think I should do."

"What to do?"

"Hmm."

"Saving the queen at the cost of your own life, this is what you think in your heart, what you should do?"

Seeing that he was quite unrelenting, Jiang Ning sighed helplessly, "Do you think that all these people, except for me, who else doesn't know that all this is arranged by the emperor?" ”

Lin Zheng was stunned.

Jiang Ning took advantage of the victory to pursue, "Do you think the relationship between the emperor and the queen has become intimate, and the queen is willing to completely entrust her life to him?" ”

As soon as Jiang Ning said this, Lin Zheng instantly understood.

Mu Jingzhao and Shen Qingrong didn't have a deep friendship at all, so Shen Qingrong had no reason to pay such a big price for Mu Jingzhao's plan.

Then there are only two possibilities.

Or, Shen Qingrong didn't know that this was Mu Jingzhao's conspiracy, but she still sacrificed herself to save her at a critical moment.

Or, they had already reached an agreement, but the Assassins had skewed when they carried out the assassination.

If it is the first possibility, then Mu Jingzhao can be described as ruthless and unjust; If it is the second possibility, the mystery behind the incident is really chilling.

"In the whole incident, the people who don't know are just me and the queen, and if I don't do some things, I really can't think of who should do them." As the mood fluctuated, Jiang Ning's voice became louder and louder.

At this time, Lin Zheng's eyes were a little more complicated.

Although Jiang Ning's words have always been a very objective explanation of this matter, when it came to his ears, every word was condemning them who stood by and watched.

However, Jiang Ning didn't notice that his mood was wrong, and continued to speak.

"If I don't do something, then I'm also an indirect accomplice, and I can't forgive myself for doing this."

After finishing the sentence, Jiang Ning continued to hang his head again, pulling the vines in his hands one by one to test whether they were firm.

"Let's do it." Lin Zheng's voice was very soft, but firm and unmistakable.

Jiang Ning was stunned, and then handed over half of the vine in his hand.

"I thought you would laugh at me for being stupid and naïve." Her voice was soft.

"Niangniang's sincere heart is commendable, and the minister is not qualified to evaluate."

Jiang Ning watched Lin Zheng's slender fingers move quickly between the vines, and quickly tied a knot.

"I'm sorry, I dragged you into the water again."

Lin Zheng's knotting action paused slightly, "The minister is willing." After a while, he said again in a voice that was barely catchable by his ears, "This time, for the first time, every time, again and again." ”

Jiang Ning couldn't help Lin Zheng much, so he manually compared the length from the trunk to the cliff, and after the two cooperated, Lin Zheng finally made a rope of suitable length.

"Whew!" Jiang Ning exhaled heavily, looking down at the abyss under the cliff, and under the layers of clouds and mist, he vaguely and deliberately saw the lush trees under the mountain.

Jiang Ning thought for a moment, then picked up a stone and threw it down.

The stone pierced through the clouds in an instant, and there was no figure.

She instantly gasped.

"I'm ready." Jiang Ning turned his head for a moment, but saw that Lin Zheng had already tied the vines to his waist. (End of chapter)
