The fact that they didn't come this way indicates that these marks are not their footprints.
"etc!"
Tianyun gently patted the prince's shoulder, pointing with his finger to the collapsed grass roots along the road, gesturing for him to look: "Your Highness, look quickly."
Xiao Ziwu suddenly frowned and looked in the direction she pointed, keenly sensing a hint of danger.
Fortunately, she is a thoughtful woman.
Has anyone walked here?
Were they from the military camp? Or remnants of the Western Huan army?
Either of these two could be detrimental to him.
Without hesitation, Xiao Ziwu carried her and quickly changed direction. He used his lightness skill, only touching the ground with his toes, instead of actually stepping on it, so as not to leave any footprints and temporarily avoid the group's search.
That cave isn't far from here, so they probably can't go back. There are traces of them staying there, so those people must have sent a lot of troops to guard it.
Are you scared?
Xiao Ziwu turned his head slightly to comfort the little woman on his back.
Tianyun's expression was somewhat solemn, but she still shook her head at him: "With you here, I'm not afraid!"
The man suppressed the urge to pat her head lightly, a hint of emotion flickering in his eyes. He thought to himself: I will absolutely not let anything happen to you.
"My dear, do you still remember where you came down the cliff from?"
Xiao Ziwu kept walking, carrying her on his back like a bird's feather, his breathing remained perfectly steady as he ran.
Tianyun nodded immediately. Although her memory wasn't exaggerated to the point of being able to remember everything she saw, it was still far beyond what ordinary people could achieve. Back then, she relied entirely on her extraordinary memory to pass the Imperial Academy's tests by being able to read traditional Chinese characters.
"Does Your Highness wish to go up?"
Xiao Ziwu nodded and explained succinctly, "Now that they know I'm still alive, there's no point in hiding any longer. Besides, although the bottom of this cliff is vast, there aren't many places to hide, and they'll find me soon."
Tianyun remembered that she came down from a corner on the southeast side of the cliff. The vivid memory flashed through her mind. She pondered for a moment, observed the surrounding terrain, and then said decisively, "Your Highness, go forward and turn south when you reach the end."
"good."
Without hesitation, Xiao Ziwu did as she said and sped away.
While the searchers were still off guard, the two of them had already sensed the danger and would never have imagined that they would escape up the cliff. With the guards on the cliff lax at this moment, it was the perfect time to run away!
Tianyun tenderly held the handkerchief and wiped his sweat, but she didn't make him put her down to walk. Right now, racing against time with those people was the most important thing. Her body was still sore and weak, and she couldn't walk fast at all.
Am I too heavy?
The perilous atmosphere of being on the run was shattered by a single sentence from the young woman.
Xiao Ziwu relaxed slightly, and a faint smile instantly appeared in his deep, cold eyes.
"Lighter than a cat, where is it heavy?"
The man jokingly agreed, completely unaware that he had just narrowly escaped death! He was even less aware that in the little woman's world, this question was affectionately known as—
A life-or-death situation!
