"It's a landslide! Come on. ”

The ground under his feet began to shake violently, and before Xie Hanci could jump out of the carriage, he was thrown out of the carriage and fell to the ground.

She was about to struggle to get up when a tree the size of a bowl was cut off at the waist and whistled over her head, and she could feel the rough branches brushing against the hair on the top of her head, making a fine grinding sound.

The air was already filled with choking dust, and Jing Yu jumped out of the car and waved at her, but his voice was completely drowned out by the loud noise.

Xie Hanci looked up and looked around, trying to find a place to hide, but found that a large amount of mud and sand was wrapped in stones and gray and pressed over.

Just as she was about to close her eyes and wait for death, a miraculous scene appeared, after the sand and gravel filled the ravine in front of her, she suddenly turned around and rolled away along the mountain road of Xiushui Ridge on the other side of the mountain.

After a pillar of incense, no more stones fell down the mountain, the landslide stopped, and the smoke and dust slowly dissipated.

Xie Hanci felt a little incredible in addition to the happiness of the rest of her life after the disaster, she climbed onto the mound on the east side of the ravine, squatted down to check.

Originally, although the ravine was high in the east and low in the west, the east side was soft soil, and the west side was a mountain and hard rocks.

It seems that he is really lucky, Xie Hanci thanked God in his heart, and wanted to come down from the mound, but suddenly felt that something was wrong, and the ground under his feet seemed to be very ...... Soft.

Xie Hanci picked up a branch casually and dug down the position of the mound, and suddenly a familiar voice came from behind him.

"Little brother, it's too dangerous here, don't stand there."

The person who came was her cheap father who was crowned as the left lieutenant of the escort team by a holy decree, Xie Hanci muttered "damn" in a low voice, quickly lowered his head and turned his back.

"Little brother, isn't the mound too high to go down?"

Xie Hanci had no choice but to shake his head with his back to him, and replied hesitantly.

Seeing that he didn't move, Xie Yuan thought that "he" was afraid of heights, so he took two steps forward, wanting to help him, and was about to reach out and touch "his" arm.

Xie Hanci looked down at the ravine in front of him, about three feet deep, the bottom of the sand and gravel, if she jumped down directly, seventy percent would break her neck, and the other three percent, she would either learn to walk with her arms in the future, or learn to eat with her feet.

"Captain Xie, you're here."

King Ning's voice sounded from behind him, and Xie Hanci breathed a long sigh of relief, saving his life and limbs.

"The prince is looking for Weichen?"

Xie Yuan hurriedly walked down the mound, straightened his clothes and saluted King Ning, who raised his hand to help him up without waiting for him to bend his knees, "Now that the mountain road in Xiushuiling is impassable, I want to discuss with you whether to change the road." ”

Xie Yuan nodded yes, "That Weichen asked the soldiers to rest in place first, and then go and bring the topographic map." ”

"It's still Captain Xie who thinks thoughtfully, then I'll bother Captain Xie." King Ning's voice was gentle, and his words were appropriate to hide his praise for Xie Yuan, Xie Yuan was obviously very useful, and ran non-stop to arrange.

Xie Hanci squatted on the ground, maintaining a posture of digging the ground and remained motionless, waiting for King Ning to walk away.

Who knew that the footsteps behind him sounded, but they were approaching her step by step, the man's tall shadow flickered in the light and dark of the torch, and she even smelled the faint fragrance of begonia flowers in the purse around his waist.

"Aren't your legs numb?" He stood behind her, his voice a little hoarse, his icy voice like the night in the mountains, as if it had been covered with a layer of mist.

It was a very ordinary sentence, but it sounded like a mockery in her ears. What qualifications does he have to put on a messianic posture in front of her?

Xie Hanci turned around and stood up, patted the soil on his hands, pulled the corners of his mouth, and said, "The soil is wet, and the ravine was just dug in the past two days, the prince worked hard." ”

King Ning's smile was condensed at the corner of his mouth, with some bitterness, and after a few days, his face was much haggard, and a cyan stubble appeared on his chin.

"There's something special about the way you say hello." He lowered his head, and the hot breath hit her ear, "This time, just leave nothing to worry about." ”

With that, he turned away, as if he had never appeared, and walked forward alone, into the shadows that the moonlight could not reach.

She returned to the carriage and didn't see Jing Yu for a long time, until she was about to fall asleep, he came back with a carved pottery pot and two boxes of white jade frost square cakes, and as soon as he got into the carriage, he found a soft cushion and lay down.

"The pot is just hot milk, no honey added, and there is no such condition, so drink it while it's hot." Just take such a little thing, you didn't see the face of Chasing the Wind, tsk......"

"Why did you go for so long?" Xie Hanci took out two cups from the low cabinet, simply swiped them, and poured milk on them. The spring morning was cool, and the mountains were even colder, and the hot milk was poured into the cup, and a thin layer of water beaded hung on the wall of the cup.

Jing Yu half-straightened up, grunted twice, drank half a cup, and said: "I'm really afraid of something, the road in Xiushuiling is blocked, and the carriage can't pass at all, so it can only pass through the valley of the Hundred Sick Caves below." ”

Xie Hanci frowned and closed his eyes tiredly, could this be the purpose of his painstaking efforts to create this landslide?

Although the rumors of chasing after the wind and shadows are not credible, under normal circumstances, the march is based on the principle of "more is better than less". People nearby think that it is an ominous place, and if he can avoid it, why does he have to go to the Hundred Sick Caves?

What does he mean by telling her to "leave nothing alone", and what else will he do? What the hell is he going to do?

Jing Yu looked at Xie Hanci next to her, she leaned her head to the side, motionless, thinking she was asleep, picked up the blanket and covered her body.

Her face was dirty soot, and her hair was tucked in her hat, but he thought that she was much better looking than the meticulous ladies in the capital, and she was so vivid, like a free and proud bird.

The oil lamp was dim, but her eyelashes were long, casting fan-shaped shadows on her eyelids, trembling gently as she breathed like butterfly wings.

The gaze slowly moved down, and fell on her coarse cloth shirt, the wound on her shoulder should be healed, but I don't know if it will leave a scar, girls should not like to have scars on their bodies, and when they go back, they must find Dr. Miao to take a good look at her.

He thought to himself that if he could leave a faint trace, at least, she would always remember herself.

Suddenly I wanted to get closer, a little closer.

This sudden thought startled him, Jing Yu quickly took a deep breath, gently pulled the blanket on her body up, and retreated back to the other corner of the carriage.

A dreamless night.

Xie Hanci was awakened by the carriage, the convoy had already entered the Hundred Sick Cave, the road here was rugged and difficult, in order to prevent the car from overturning, the boxes containing the tribute were tied with several thick hemp ropes.

The two sat opposite each other, eating the white jade frost square cake in the box, Jing Yu thankfully the person in front of him did not get up early in the morning to cook food full of "allusions".

Through the car window, Xie Hanci saw that the military flag was lowered and replaced with the flag of the Shudi Chamber of Commerce, and the soldiers also wrapped their heads with a red scarf to cover the emblem on their helmets.

"What are they doing here?" Xie Han said in surprise.

Jing Yu glanced out the window, didn't care, and said lightly: "Yesterday, Uncle Xiaohuang ordered that there are often bandits in this cave of a hundred diseases, pretending to be an ordinary caravan and acting in a low-key manner. ”

Xie Han swallowed the cake below, didn't say anything on his lips, but said suspiciously in his heart, there are indeed bandits in the Hundred Sick Caves, but ordinary thieves will be afraid when they see the military flag, and they often dare not come to commit crimes. There is no reason to put away the military flag and pretend to be a caravan.

What's more, how can these thousands of people, in this silent deep valley, keep a low profile?

Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly the carriage carrying the tribute behind him fell into a deep pit hidden by weeds, and the soldiers went down to carry the boxes with all their hands and feet, and suddenly one of them shouted.

"It's not good, it's a trap!"

At the same time, several arrow feathers shot out of the dense forest, piercing the sky.

There was a commotion outside the car, Xie Hanci looked at it, but was suddenly held down by Jing Yu, who was awakened in his sleep, "You don't want to die?" Don't move, this random arrow doesn't have eyes. ”

Xie Hanci lowered the curtain, but heard the neighing of horses in the distance, sharp and poignant.

"It's not good, it's the voice of the white crane!" Saying that, regardless of the flying arrows, Jing Yu had no choice but to carry the low table as a shield, and followed behind Xie Hanci and said breathlessly: "No wonder the little soldier laughed at your bad ears that day, this is obviously a horse barking." ”

Xie Hanci didn't bother to explain to him, dropped a sentence: "The white crane is my father's horse", and ran in the direction where the sound came from.

Two years ago, Xie Yuan bought the Dawan Liangju in the hands of Hu Shang, because his whole body was snow-white, and only his four legs were black, so he was named "White Crane".

It has an extremely wild temperament, unruly, and does not neigh easily, the sound just now is clearly injured, she looked at the soldier who fell to the ground with an arrow in front of her, and the pace under her feet couldn't help but speed up.

No, don't have an accident.

She dodged the arrows above her head as she ran to the front of the line. Xie Hanci saw from a distance that the "White Crane" had been hit by three arrows in the abdomen, but he was still carrying his master and trying to avoid the random arrows.

Hearing only a "whoosh", an arrow flew out quickly and pierced into the left eye of the "white crane".

The horse jumped high after suffering pain, and almost threw Xie Yuan out, but fortunately, Xie Yuan held the reins tightly so as not to fall off the horse, and the "white crane" ran forward quickly, and the figure of a man and a horse gradually disappeared into the depths of the woods.

Xie Hanci didn't care about the rain of arrows that didn't stop, got up to chase it, and just ran out two steps before the tip of the arrow grazed the corner of his lip, and a rusty smell immediately spread in his mouth, and before she could react, the other arrows were about to shoot her into a sieve.

It was too late to say that, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and a bright silver spear swung down on her head, splitting the arrow.

"Do you want to be a target?" King Ning's voice sounded from under the golden silk mask, pulling her onto the horse, Xie Hanci struggled twice, and roared, "You let go of me." ”

King Ning wrapped one hand around her waist and pulled the reins, and with the other hand took off his golden silk mask and buckled it on her face. She wanted to take it off, but turned to meet his eyes, like a cold pool deep in a mountain stream. He clasped her hand so tightly that she couldn't move.

"Wear it, don't get hurt again."

Xie Hanci didn't appreciate it, and said coldly: "King Ning is so considerate, it seems that there was no link for me to be hit by an arrow in your plan." ”

King Ning looked at the person in his arms like a hedgehog, and knew that no matter what he said now, it was useless, so he had to whisper in her ear: "Go and thank Lord Xie first." ”

With that, the whip swung hard in the air and chased in the direction where the "white crane" disappeared.
