Chapter 70
She's dead
Bang.
The ground tore apart and the ground shook beneath my feet.
The ghosts were furious, screaming miserably and running around like crazy.
There was a sharp, stabbing pain in the ear.
The prince moved swiftly, rushed to Jiang Zhaoying, pressed her into his arms, and covered her ears.
Large chunks of rock were thrown into the night sky, then slammed down with a thud.
He fell heavily on the prince's back, and the prince's eyes were filled with anger, and he hugged Jiang Zhaoying tighter.
After about half a quarter of an hour, things gradually became quiet behind me.
All the lonely souls were burned into ashes by the light emitted from the hairpin.
Shaking off the thick dust on their bodies, the two turned to look at the dark pit.
The wronged souls have dissipated, and although the fog is still thick, it is showing signs of collapsing.
"Are you okay?"
"Are you okay?"
Jiang Zhaoying and the prince asked each other at the same time.
Just now a big rock hit the prince. If it weren't for her, he could have avoided it.
I don’t know why, but my heart was trembling and tears just flowed out.
She has always been sharp, like a hedgehog in a tree hole, but at this moment she showed her weak side, and the prince felt a trace of pain in his heart.
Jiang Zhaoying hurriedly shook her head and said softly.
"I'm fine, Your Highness, hurry up and leave!"
The surrounding mountains are now like a piece of rag, which may be torn into strips at any time.
If we don't leave now, we might encounter greater danger.
"good."
The prince stared at Jiang Zhaoying deeply.
At this moment, she was covered in blood, and one could even faintly see black air coming out of her wounds.
What I said and did was just an act of pretense.
"I'll carry you on my back."
"No, you're injured too. I can do it."
The fact that he could find this place, and that he was covered in blood, was so thrilling that Jiang Zhaoying knew even with her eyes closed how thrilling it was.
Fortunately.
He was not supposed to die here, and there were living beings that died in their place, which saved the day!
Seeing that she was unwilling, the prince did not argue with her. He pinched her wrist and turned around, pulling her, and left with Jiang Zhaoying on his back.
The strong smell of blood rushed into his nostrils. Jiang Zhaoying hurriedly pressed the wound on his arm and sprinkled the last packet of hemostatic medicine on his arm.
The prince frowned.
"Don't worry about me, this injury is nothing and it doesn't hurt."
Jiang Zhaoying's pupils shrank slightly and she choked softly.
"It's impossible for it not to hurt."
It's just that no one cares about us, there's no medicine to treat us, or we're used to it, so we become so strong.
After a long, long time.
The situation was treacherous and the prince was seriously injured. The ruthless young man held her hand tightly, begging her not to leave, and told her that every wound on his body was painful, but the most painful thing was when he lost her.
Sitting in the carriage, Jiang Zhaoying couldn't stop crying!
"After all, it was me who dragged down His Highness!"
"What nonsense."
The mountain road was rugged and dark, making it impossible to walk steadily.
The prince motioned to Jiang Zhaoying to hold him tighter, and walked forward with big strides.
At first there was fog leading the way and we just had to follow it, but after about half an hour, the fog suddenly condensed into a ball again.
Jiang Zhaoying took out a palm-sized compass and opened it gently.
"Your Highness, on the left."
"Um."
The prince responded softly, but after taking a few steps, he lost too much blood and felt his eyes go dark. If he had not reacted quickly, he would have almost fallen headfirst.
Without showing any emotion.
He continued to walk around with Jiang Zhaoying on his back.
The night was growing darker.
The wind was as cold as ice in deep winter, piercing into the skin and causing stinging even in the pores.
"What's going on?"
Suddenly.
Jiang Zhaoying's expression changed slightly.
"What's wrong?"
The prince turned to ask her, but the dim night obscured the paleness on his handsome face.
Jiang Zhaoying tried several times, but the compass didn't respond.
His eyes were cold.
Jiang Zhaoying observed the celestial phenomena, counted with her fingers, and patted the prince on the shoulder.
"We may have fallen into that man's trap again, Your Highness, please let me down."
If you want to break the situation, you must take risks and get into the situation, only then you can understand it.
At the same time.
In the wing room.
The man had a gloomy face and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth fiercely, looking a little depressed.
Suddenly.
The first candle on the left suddenly lit up.
The man was stunned at first.
Then the madness in his eyes suddenly rose, and a cruel smile continued to expand from his lips.
The laughter grew louder and louder, until he fell forward and backward.
This is the biggest trap he has been planning for so long.
All kinds of things in front.
It's just a nuisance.
“It will be soon. Soon you will be buried in the endless abyss and sealed in it by my formation. From then on, your soul will never be able to come out. You will never be able to find out who I am in your lifetime. Hahahaha… Jiang Zhaoying, you would never dream that it was me who stole your luck. Hahahaha…”
In the mountain stream.
The prince looked at the endless darkness in front of him, with a cold look on his face, and carefully put Jiang Zhaoying down. After Jiang Zhaoying tried again and again, she had no choice but to put away the compass.
The scene before my eyes seemed real and fake, with no clues to be seen at all.
"You shouldn't have come here."
She repeatedly told Shen Liuguang to take His Royal Highness the Crown Prince away no matter what means he used.
Because she sensed something strange here, she sent Xu Zhiyan and Wei Jiuzhao away in advance and wanted to go and deal with it alone.
Only in this way will the earthquake stop completely and everyone will have hope.
"How can I let you take risks alone?"
"Your Highness, the man who stole my luck may be hiding in the capital. He has spent thirteen years planning this. It is impossible that he just wants our lives. We are just a part of his plan. After we return to the capital, we may face a bigger conspiracy."
"Are you afraid?"
The prince supported Jiang Zhaoying and looked down at her face. There were two luminous pearls inlaid on his collar and belt as well.
So even in the dark, we can still see each other clearly.
He pulled off the night pearl from his waist, stuffed it into Jiang Zhaoying's palm, and looked at her with deep eyes.
“Don’t be afraid…”
The hatred in Jiang Zhaoying's eyes suddenly became intense, and she looked up at him.
"Even if I die, I will find that person and cut him into pieces."
"Jiang Zhaoying, if you die, I will definitely help you get a divorce and bury you in the best place. If I die, you will help me choose a suitable prince and help him become a wise ruler."
The moment when the compass stops turning.
He felt the changes in the surrounding environment. The wind was icy, and even the leaves around him were icy.
They walked in the mud and rocks, one step deep and one step shallow, and had no idea where the next step would be.
…
The rumbling sound came closer and closer, and the ground beneath my feet shook again, but in the blink of an eye I saw something flying towards me from a distance.
The two of them ran around to avoid it, and in the gap, Jiang Zhaoying answered him.
"In my eyes, only Your Highness can be a wise ruler. I don't like anyone else."
It was cold and eerie all around.
However, when Jiang Zhaoying's words fell into the prince's ears, a hint of burning sensation inexplicably arose.
"No matter what, we will get out of this."
He sent two thousand people over, and they were to contact each other every two hours. Otherwise, they would go out in full force to look for their whereabouts.
at the moment.
What he and Jiang Zhaoying had to do was not to die, wait until dawn, and slowly find a way out.
"kindness."
The two men grabbed onto the tree trunks that were buried deep in mud and rocks, and climbed up with gritted teeth. They didn't know how long they had been climbing, but their legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead before they finally stood on the top.
The strong wind was wandering around them.
In the black fog behind.
Suddenly, a huge hand stretched out, grabbed Jiang Zhaoying and dragged her into the black fog.
"ah."
But in a moment.
Jiang Zhaoying's body flew backwards and fell straight down in an instant. The speed was so fast that the wind cut her face like a knife, and Jiang Zhaoying screamed in pain.
"Jiang Zhaoying."
The prince grabbed her almost at that moment.
But what surprised them was.
It was clearly a rugged mountain road, but the feeling of falling down was like falling into an abyss.
Jiang Zhaoying was furious. She finally knew what that man's ultimate goal was.
They were going to crush her and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince under this cliff. There must be something waiting for them down there. Once they fell down, she and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be doomed.
Bang……
Their bodies seemed to be swinging on a swing.
In a panic.
The prince grabbed a branch, his palm was rubbed by the thick branch and blood was flowing out. His arm seemed to be broken, and his other hand was tightly grasping Jiang Zhaoying's wrist.
"Hold on tight, Jiang Zhaoying, hold on with both hands and climb up slowly. As long as you can climb up this tree trunk, you will be fine."
It was still pitch black below, and I couldn't see the bottom.
At the moment, this tree trunk as thick as a bowl is their life-saving straw, but the moment they grabbed it, the weight of two people plus the force of falling, he could already hear the sound of the branch breaking slightly.
If two people keep hanging, the final result is that both of them will fall down.
only.
The prince didn't know.
Jiang Zhaoying has always had good hearing. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince heard it, and she heard it too.
Open your palm.
Jiang Zhaoying let the night pearl fall.
However.
What terrified her was that after the bead fell, no echo was heard.
That explains it.
It’s still very deep below.
Cold sweat gradually flowed down their faces and fell silently.
Jiang Zhaoying looked up at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Even though the situation was so dangerous, he was still wholeheartedly thinking about saving her.
"Come, hold my wrists with both hands, climb up slowly, and I will slowly pull you up. As long as you climb up the tree trunk..."
"Your Highness."
Jiang Zhaoying called him softly, and suddenly a smile appeared on her face, as if she was relieved.
"Forget it, let's call it even. I won't bother with you. After all, His Highness is a very good one."
The prince was stunned.
Is he okay?
From childhood to adulthood, he had no idea how many plans he had made, how many people he had killed, and how much blood he had stepped on to climb to the position of crown prince.
Can.
Jiang Zhaoying said he was good.
The prince seemed to have heard a huge joke, but the softness deep in his heart unconsciously overflowed, and he continued to coax Jiang Zhaoying and Luzhou.
"You can only see Zhou Ruogu again if you get out alive!"
If she really likes Zhou Ruogu... when this thought floated in his mind, the prince felt a trace of pain in his heart.
"Your Highness, Ruogu is a pitiful person. Her father favored his concubine over his wife. Madam Zhou went through so much trouble to give birth to her. She knew she would never get pregnant again, so she could only raise Ruogu as a boy and fight for what she deserved. But Madam Zhou died before Ruogu grew up."
Jiang Zhaoying explained softly that she had always wanted to explain something about this matter, and then, what she had just said was that in her previous life, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had the secret guards throw her into the water.
He abandoned her in his previous life, but he didn't in this life.
So she let it go.
Listen to her explanation.
The slight crack on the prince's chest healed unconsciously, and the prince tried to slowly lift Jiang Zhaoying up.
Something flashed in Jiang Zhaoying's eyes. She grabbed the prince's clothes and slowly climbed up, finally climbing up the prince's neck. The prince hugged her waist tightly. When the two looked at each other, a hint of tenderness flashed in the prince's eyes.
"Jiang Zhaoying, does the mountain god really want me to marry you?"
Jiang Zhaoying nodded slightly. This was the only request he had, but it was rejected by Jiang Zhaoying.
"Your Highness, when you have nothing to do, you must interact with my father more often. He will help you."
Since Xu Zhiyan and Wei Jiuzhao stand on the side of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, my father will definitely choose the Crown Prince. At that time, the Imperial Observatory will secretly support the Crown Prince.
Even without her, we will definitely overcome all obstacles and return victorious.
What a pity.
She will never be able to take revenge.
"Your Highness, once the matter in Qingshan Town is resolved, you should return to the capital."
Jiang Zhaoying whispered in the Crown Prince's ear.
Keep calm.
A amulet was placed inside the Crown Prince's clothes.
He pretended to continue climbing, but suddenly pushed the Crown Prince away and fell backwards.
"Jiang Zhaoying."
The prince didn't expect that Jiang Zhaoying was not afraid of death and had been lying to him.
When I reached out to grab it again, I couldn't catch anything.
"Live well."
In the boiling black fog, Jiang Zhaoying's words seemed to be thousands of miles away, and the prince's eyes turned bloodshot.
The four words "live well" kept lingering in the valley, as if Jiang Zhaoying was telling him again and again. For a moment, the prince felt as if a large piece of his heart was hollowed out, and blood was dripping all of a sudden.
The prince stared at his empty palms in a daze. The fragrance of Jiang Zhaoying was still lingering on his body, but in the blink of an eye, she was gone.
There seemed to be a rumbling sound coming from below, as if something was hit down.
The prince closed his eyes tightly, and the place that had always been cold was now filled with constant pain.
From far to near.
The torches on the mountaintop surged like a long dragon.
Someone discovered something hooked on a branch and threw his torch off the cliff.
A flash of fire appeared.
Someone saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hanging on a branch.
"Your Highness, it's Your Highness."
Immediately following.
Several ropes were slowly lowered down to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"Your Highness, hurry and catch it."
The guard's voice trembled a little.
The prince stared at the cliff in front of him, motionless.
The guard's scalp suddenly went numb and he dared not move.
For a while.
Hearing the sound of movement from the rope, the guards' hearts tightened and they hurriedly helped His Highness to fly up.
The guards knelt on the ground.
"Looking for Jiang Zhaoying."
The prince's voice was calm.
However, the dark clouds in the cliff behind him suddenly retreated in fear.
Thinking of the black hole that had just swallowed Jiang Zhaoying, the prince's cold eyes showed tears for the first time.
A strange fragrance came.
The prince fell backwards, and Cheng Ting'an quickly stepped forward to catch him.
The things were given by Jiang Zhaoying. She said that His Highness was too alert, like a wild beast. If they wanted to take him away, they had to do it quietly and find another way.
…
This earthquake happened very suddenly.
It is also very tragic.
If sufficient preparations had not been made in advance, there would have been countless casualties in Qingshan Town.
The people who moved out were glad that they were obedient and came out early, but there were still some stubborn old people left inside, and their bodies were not found anywhere. Along the way, some were happy, some burned paper, some were crying, and some were laughing.
Shen Liuguang trembled as he changed the dressing for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. There were more than twenty wounds, some of which were so deep that the bones could be seen, and some of which bled profusely.
But His Highness seemed to feel no pain, and his expression became increasingly gloomy.
The soldiers kept going in and out of Qingshan Town, searching for Jiang Zhaoying everywhere, but for some reason, they couldn't find her on any cliffs or even in any caves.
She disappeared from the world and from everyone's eyes, as if she had never appeared.
Three days.
His Highness worked almost non-stop to deal with matters and search for Jiang Zhaoying's whereabouts. If this continued, they were worried that even a boy as strong as steel would break.
"Your Highness."
Zhou Ruogu came in with the medicine in his hand and lifted the tent.
The prince in front of him was full of murderous coldness, with sharp sword-like eyebrows, but when he raised his eyes slightly, Zhou Ruogu was so frightened that he almost fell to his knees.
These days.
He kept running around to treat seriously injured civilians and soldiers and had hardly any rest.
"You have done what you should do. Lord Wu will be responsible for the subsequent governance. It will be dangerous if you stay any longer. Please return to the capital, Your Highness."
“…”
The prince sat upright, as solitary as a pine or cypress, with a handsome face, without saying a word. Zhou Ruogu, with sweat on his forehead, bravely continued.
"The murderer is likely lurking in the capital. Who knows what else he might do."
The prince's eyebrows moved slightly, revealing his royal aura. When he stood up, the tent was suddenly filled with hostility.
"good."
Zhou Ruogu bowed, took a few steps back, then turned around and lifted the curtain to go out. His pretended calmness was shattered in an instant, and he almost broke his voice as he walked up to Shen Liuguang and Cheng Tingan who were waiting not far away.
"Your Highness is too scary. If he says one more word, I feel like my neck will be in danger. Return to the capital quickly before he changes his mind. Otherwise, if that person succeeds, the consequences will be disastrous."
