This large tree grows between the cliffs, and its branches are quite dense. Since it was a harsh winter, there were no leaves on the treetops, and from a distance, they looked particularly desolate. Within a range of dozens of feet above and below the tree, there is no other place to stop. The sheer nature of the place can be seen from mid-air.

Du Chi was sandwiched between the branches of the tree and had several arrow wounds on his back. He was extremely weak, and thought that there was no hope for survival, but in a trance, he found a similar figure, so he took a deep breath and shouted with all his might: "Le Gongzi, is it you, come and save me!" Le Yiyang replied: "Yes, it is down." You must not act rashly, I will find a way to get through. After he finished speaking, he remembered his promise to Xiao Cuixin, and hurriedly pulled the tree rope hard.

It was almost evening, and the sky in the mountains was darkening, and white mist was gradually rising from the cliffs. In addition to light skills, Le Yiyang has no other martial arts that can protect himself. On the steep cliffs, even the best light skills will not help. Du Chi was only two feet away from him, but he was on another treetop. Le Yiyang grabbed the trunk of the tree and slowly moved towards Du Chi's position.

The branches of the big tree are uneven, although the circumference is more than a few zhang, but each branch is only the size of a foot. Le Yiyang walked on it, his eyes did not dare to squint, and he thought in his heart: "There is a saying in the Book of Songs: trembling, like facing the abyss, like walking on thin ice. The ancients did not deceive. However, if a person really reaches the abyss, how can he tremble in order to save his life?"

When Du Chi saw the face of the old man, he was surprised and delighted: "Master Le, after saying goodbye to Kaifeng, I didn't expect that when we met again, we would be above this abyss. Le Yiyang looked at the arrow wound on his body, and while tearing half of his shirt to make a bandage for him to tie, he urged: "Du Gongzi, you are seriously injured, leave this dangerous place first." Du Chi looked up at the top of the cliff and said with an embarrassed face: "This is a cliff, how easy is it to go up?" He paused for a moment, and then said: "But I'm curious, for no reason, how did you come down?"

Le Yiyang walked towards the cliff while helping Du Chiwang to tell him what happened not long ago. Du Chi was stunned when he heard this, and said dejectedly: "I didn't expect that more than 20 of us were almost wiped out in the end! Fortunately, there is a cuixin girl, no, it should be called the county lord." If she hadn't come forward to persuade her, I'm afraid even Guo Rong would not have escaped the clutches of the Khitans. Le Yiyang replied abruptly: "The Khitan soldiers have already laid an ambush, just waiting for you to fall into the trap." The past cannot be admonished, but the future can still be chased. We can learn from this in the future. Du Chi nodded again and again, only hating himself for being too anxious and failing to save the emperor, but instead involved the lives of a bunch of people.

At this time, the two of them had reached the cliff. Le Yiyang grabbed the tree rope and said to Du Chi: "You are injured, you have to go up first." I've got a good look behind me. Although Du Chi couldn't shirk it at first, he thought that Xiao Cuixin was alone on the top of the cliff, and it was inevitable that something would happen after a long time, so he finally agreed, holding on to the rope and slowly climbing up.

Le Yiyang kept looking at Du Chi's figure, and when he arrived safely, he breathed a sigh of relief. He looked around the branches, saw no trace of Mei Jiutong and Zhai Jingyue, and lamented to the bottom of the cliff: "Brother Mei, your husband and wife are deeply in love, and they don't want to fall into the enemy's hands, so they both fell off the cliff. The younger brother could not find your bones, so when he returned, he could only build a clothed tomb and pray for you every year, hoping that you could rest in peace in the underworld. When he thought of this, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

After a while, after he had calmed down a little, Le Yiyang began to set off for the rest of his life. By this time it was already dark, and there was silence all around. Le Yiyang held the tree rope and climbed to the top of the cliff step by step.

As soon as he left the big tree for more than ten zhang, he encountered a cold wind coming from under the cliff. Le Yiyang shivered from the cold, holding the rope with both hands, not daring to relax in the slightest. The cold wind became more and more intense, blowing the whole rope from side to side.

Xiao Cuixin and Du Chi pulled the rope the mountain road at the top of the cliff, trying to pull Le Yiyang up as soon as possible. The rope was not very strong, but after the force of the three of them, it suddenly broke off in the middle. The moment the rope broke, Le Yiyang still had half of the tree rope in his hand. He fell quickly, and when he got close to the big tree, he hurriedly threw the rope in his hand, but to no avail. As soon as the rope hung on the branches of the big tree, it was broken by the strong pull.

Le Yiyang's mind was blank, he could only hold his breath and concentrate, still speeding by the cold air current, thinking in his heart: "Sister Xiao, take care, we have no fate in this life, and we will treat you well in the next life!" Brother Mei, Miss Zhai, I came with you!"

Xiao Cuixin and Du Chi sat on the ground suddenly, still holding half of the tree rope in their hands. Both of them were extremely shaken in their hearts, and immediately understood that Le Yiyang had fallen off the cliff. Xiao Cuixin sat in a daze for a moment, and then immediately rushed to the edge of the cliff. Du Chi thought he was going to do something stupid, so he hurriedly flew up to grab her.

Xiao Cuixin pushed his hand away with all her might, and said angrily: "Du Gongzi, please respect yourself! I am Brother Yang's fiancée." Du Chi didn't hear Le Yiyang say this, and at the moment of crisis, he didn't think much about it, so he hugged her in his arms and turned over and returned to the middle of the mountain road. After the two stood still, Xiao Cuixin slapped Du Chi in the face and cried: "Du Chi, you are shameless! I am already Brother Yang's person, and I can't allow you to be so rude!"

Du Chi was kindly misunderstood, shook his head and said, "County Lord, you misunderstood. Du is worried that if you can't think about it, it will violate the defense of men and women. Xiao Cuixin snorted and said: "I have a deep relationship with Brother Yang, and now that Brother Yang is in trouble, how can I sit idly by!" Du Chi knew that she was angry and didn't dare to talk back to her. After half an hour, most of the anger in Xiao Cui's heart was cut off, and Du Chi said his thoughts.

Xiao Cuixin listened to Du Chi's words, and there were some lucks in her heart. The two returned to their place of residence, carried a tight rope, and went down to the big tree to look for someone. When I got there, I saw the previous tree ropes scattered on the treetops, but there was no happy figure. Now that my fiancé has fallen off the cliff, I am afraid that there will be more than one luck. There is no road to the bottom of the cliff here, and there is really no one alive or dead. Xiao Cuixin couldn't accept it for a while, and actually cried sadly.

Seeing that Xiao Cui was heartbroken, Du Chi took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to her, saying: "County Lord, Prince Le is a humble gentleman, and he has always been benevolent and righteous. ”
