Chapter 223 Escape from the Cave

"In exchange for your military merits, let the emperor pardon our Zhao family and restore our official positions. Then I can marry you in style!"

Zhao Yuntian didn't have the courage to directly ask the emperor to abdicate, so he decided to leave it at that for now. It wouldn't be too late to make plans slowly after he and his son resumed their official positions.

As long as Bai Li marries him, everything is possible.

Bai Li couldn't help but roll her eyes to the sky. Why should her military merit be exchanged for his family? What a shameless person!

He blinked his eyes and said, “I think it’s not possible after thinking about it. That witch doctor is so powerful that even I can’t beat him.

"If you didn't tell him before you left, what would happen if he got mad? It would be no good for us to make such a strong enemy."

Zhao Yuntian frowned, thinking about the possibility of what Bai Li said.

"In Jincheng, I was almost caught by you. If I didn't have a secret weapon, I wouldn't have been able to escape."

Seeing that he couldn't remember, Bai Li kindly helped him recall.

Yes, that time the witch doctor showed up, Bai Li had no chance to fight back. If she hadn't thrown that thunderbolt, she really wouldn't have been able to escape...

In that case, she really couldn't deal with the witch doctor.

"Then let's go and tell him. He's not able to move around much right now, so he shouldn't stop us from going out."

He only sewed up his arm in the middle of the night. Zhao Yuntian did this absurd thing under pressure from him. He didn't think that a broken arm could grow back after being sewn together.

The witch doctor was always weird. If an ordinary person had lost an arm, he would have lost consciousness due to excessive blood loss. However, he not only picked up the broken arm and escaped, but also found him hiding in the cave and threatened him to sew it up for him.

He was like a centipede that was still alive even after death. Zhao Yuntian was annoyed with him, but at the same time, he also felt a deep fear of him.

"arrive!"

Zhao Yuntian pulled Bai Li and pointed to a patch of green plants in front.

Bai Li looked up in confusion, but before he could see his surroundings clearly, he was pulled forward.

Zhao Yuntian raised his hand and Bai Li felt his eyes light up, and a cave suddenly appeared in front of him.

My vision darkened and I was pushed into the cave, where the light also dimmed.

After a while, Bai Li waited until his eyes adjusted to the darkness before opening them.

The sun is shining outside the cave, and you can see things inside.

A cool breeze blew from inside from time to time, which showed that it was not a dead hole.

The soil on the ground was very dry and there were many flat stones. After walking forward for a while, I saw a person lying on a big rock.

Hearing footsteps, the person above slowly turned over and sat up.

"Bai Li?"

"Zhao Yuntian, you brought Bai Li here. I'll give you a great credit!"

The witch doctor's hoarse voice was filled with excitement. Bai Li took a step back in fear and hid behind Zhao Yuntian.

Zhao Yuntian felt her dependence and a sense of satisfaction surged in his heart.

He cleared his throat and clarified, "I think you've misunderstood. Bai Li is mine now. We're here to tell you that we're leaving. You should stay here and recuperate. I'll bring back two deer, enough to feed you until you recover!"

"What!"

The witch doctor suddenly got off the stone bed and stared at Zhao Yuntian.

Bai Li saw that one of his arms was wrapped in cloth strips, which was obviously the broken arm.

Looking at the clothes on Zhao Yuntian again, it became clear where these strips of cloth came from.

Bai Li was very curious. He wanted to know how likely it was to successfully reattach a broken arm thousands of years later. How did this witch doctor come up with this idea?

In this backward ancient time, he didn't die from excessive bleeding from his broken arm, but died from bacterial infection. Did he have some secret technique?

Zhao Yuntian was so nervous by the witch doctor's stare that he wanted to retreat. Behind him was Bai Li, the person who had just agreed to be his woman.

Bai Li: I didn’t agree to it. It was all his imagination.

Zhao Yuntian had nowhere to retreat, so he had no choice but to respond: "I said we have to leave here."

"Where are you going?"

"us……"

Zhao Yuntian was about to blurt out something, but after thinking about it, he became cautious and stopped talking.

"Bai Li is destined to be mine. No one can take her away from me, including you!"

The witch doctor's sinister eyes emitted a faint light, and Zhao Yuntian shuddered, breaking out in a cold sweat even in the hot weather.

While the two were confronting each other, Bai Li quietly moved her wrist. When she asked Bai Sanlang to tie her up just now, she had tied a slipknot, which was invisible unless you looked carefully.

Fortunately, Zhao Yuntian was overwhelmed by the surprise and did not check her knot.

"No, Li'er agreed to marry me..."

Zhao Yuntian explained in a dry voice, but unfortunately his words were not convincing enough.

"Whoever she agrees to, it has to be mine. Got it?"

Bai Li broke free from the hand and slowly retreated towards the cave entrance. He reached into his arms and held a "peanut" in his hand. After thinking for a moment, he touched another one to be on the safe side.

Silently moving, one step, two steps...

Zhao Yuntian was so angry that he started arguing loudly with the witch doctor.

"...I don't need to rely on you now, and don't meddle in my affairs. Bai Li will never marry a monster like you!"

"Ah! Hiss! You're looking for death!"

The witch doctor was furious and swung his flute at Zhao Yuntian.

When the two men were fighting, Bai Li was already far away and the cave entrance was in sight!

Right now, she was running out, and behind her came an angry shout: "Idiot! They've run away, chase them!"

There were still a few hundred meters to the cave entrance, and the two people behind him were already chasing him. In a hurry, Bai Li used his special ability and disappeared from the spot in an instant. When he reappeared, he was already at the cave entrance.

He turned around, raised his hand and threw it into the cave entrance, then lunged forward!

"boom!"

"boom!"

Two loud bangs sounded behind her, and the huge air waves that were created wrapped Bai Li up several times. She quickly grabbed the vines on the mountain wall and used the force to swing away.

When she stood on a high place and looked back, she saw that the cave was shaking from the bombing, and rocks from the top of the cave kept falling. In a blink of an eye, the cave entrance where she was just now was blocked by rocks. She only saw a hand desperately reaching out, and gradually, the hand stopped moving.

Bai Li didn't dare to go forward to check, but just stood on a big rock not far away and watched coldly.

This time, we should be able to eliminate these two evils, right?

It would be unjust if they didn’t die!

The noise was so loud, I believed her father and the others would arrive soon.

Just in case, Bai Li stared at the cave entrance without blinking, not daring to leave.

As long as she didn't see the bodies of the two evildoers, she couldn't believe that they were dead.

When the noise in the cave died down, she stared at the cave entrance even more intently, fearing that the person would escape from under her nose if she missed him!

After about half an hour, there was no movement in the cave at all.

The cave walls should be thick and hard enough and have not collapsed yet, but the entrance is blocked tightly without a single gap.

Bai Li resisted the urge to dig open the hole and check, fearing that if the person was not dead, it would cause more trouble.
