The street was still noisy and filled with hawking sounds, and it seemed as if nothing had happened.

This is how the capital city is. A little thing can cause a stir, but the stir soon passes. It seems that everyone cares, but in fact, everyone turns a blind eye to it.

But what if the matter involves many people?

Speaking of involvement, what this girl is doing now involves more and more people.

Ning Yunzhao smiled again.

"Sir, what are you so happy about?" Xiao Ding asked again in confusion, "You smiled a lot today."

"I didn't cry at other times either." Ning Yunzhao smiled and walked forward.

"Young Master, you are teasing me again." Xiao Ding complained, kicking and struggling.

"My uncle was dismissed from office. This is not a happy thing for my family or the emperor. How can I still be so frivolous?" Ning Yunzhao said with a smile.

"So now..." Xiao Ding asked.

"Now that peace has been negotiated, the people are safe, and Duke Cheng has returned safely as ordered. This is such a happy thing, of course we should smile more. Would we be upset by being sullen?" Ning Yunzhao said, "It is convenient for others to benefit ourselves, and we should not slap others in the face."

Xiao Ding laughed.

"Sir, forget it," he said, "You must be happy because Miss Jun is coming."

Without waiting for Ning Yunzhao to react, he took a step forward.

Ning Yunzhao smiled without saying anything, walking slowly among the crowd coming and going.

…

The sound of footsteps broke the silence of the forest and startled the birds and pheasants, which flew and flew around in a panic.

Miss Jun covered her mouth and nose with her hands, sneezed a few times, and quickly got out of the bushes.

A mountain pass appeared in front of us, with steep cliffs standing tall.

Miss Jun let out a breath, took off her bag and ran over. After walking a few steps, she suddenly stopped and looked around with a vigilant expression.

Someone has just been here.

Were they the nearby mountain people hunting and chopping wood, or were they someone else?

Miss Jun looked around, and suddenly her eyes lit up and fell on the cliff.

Although the distance is quite far, one can still clearly see a person clinging to the cliff.

And this person...

"Zhu Zan!"

Miss Jun blurted out and ran over quickly.

Standing at the foot of the cliff and looking up, one can see the person above more clearly. It is Zhu Zan whom one has not seen for many days.

This guy is still here. I thought he had already caught up with Duke Cheng's team and headed for the capital.

Zhu Zan was climbing in mid-air, descending carefully and quickly.

The noise and shouting below made him pause.

"Hey." He pointed down the mountain, "Jun, I was here first."

Waving hands again.

"Go away."

This person still remembers that sentence, Miss Jun laughed and frowned again.

The mountain wall is very steep.

"Hey, be careful," she shouted. "Do you want me to help you?"

Zhu Zan laughed.

"Don't even think about it," he shouted, "I know what you are up to, woman."

He pointed to a place not far below him.

"I can tell you that I found this purple angel plant. It has nothing to do with you."

She actually found it? Miss Jun took another step forward and squinted her eyes at the mountain wall.

Amid the jagged rocks, a flower is swaying faintly.

Very good.

A smile appeared on her face, but the next moment fear appeared again.

"Hey, it's very dangerous over there. The rocks are mostly soft. Don't go there..." she shouted sharply.

Before he finished his words, Zhu Zan's body shook, and he let out a loud cry and fell down.

Miss Jun also screamed and covered her head with her hands.

No, no, no…

Amid the screams, there was a burst of laughter.

"Look at you, you fool." Zhu Zan shouted with laughter.

Miss Jun looked at him in a daze and saw him hanging in the middle of the road, dangling with a rope tied around his waist.

"I'm not stupid." Zhu Zan smiled, shaking the rope with one hand, still mumbling, "Don't think you are the best in the world."

Miss Jun wanted to say something but couldn't, she just stared at him.

Zhu Zan laughed at her a few times, but when he saw that she didn't respond, he stopped talking.

"Look, I've got the herb. We're even now." He threw down a sentence, grabbed the rock with one hand, stomped his foot hard, and moved towards the place where the herbs were.

But just as he was about to grab a rock to steady himself, the rope hanging from above and tied around his waist suddenly fell.

Zhu Zan only felt his body sink, his feet loosened, and he began to fall.

Oh my god!

This time he didn't yell, but cursed in his heart.

The rope fell like a long snake and it was very obvious. Miss Jun, who was standing at the foot of the mountain, saw it clearly.

Watching Zhu Zan's body sliding down again, Miss Jun still covered her head with her hands, but she did not scream as before.

She just stared blankly, as if everything between heaven and earth ceased to exist and only that person was falling.

fall.

Rocks rolled down.

It fell to the ground, like a clay figure being shattered, like a rag doll being cut.

Is this how he died?

Was that what happened at that moment?

There was a constant sound of falling rocks in my ears, but the man who was falling stopped.

Zhu Zan's feet were hanging in the air, and his hands grabbed a protruding rock. Without stopping for a moment, he exerted force and swung upwards, using his hands and feet to climb up the cliff.

He quickly stopped at a place, took out a knife from his waist, and cut the rope tied around his waist with his backhand. The long rope fell down the mountain without any restraint. His knife was already poking and digging at the cliff wall skillfully.

In almost the blink of an eye, he dropped the knife, held the long rhizome of the purple fairy plant in his mouth, climbed upwards, and soon disappeared from his sight.

Miss Jun was still standing there, seemingly in a daze. She didn't know how much time had passed until someone patted her on the shoulder from behind.

"No way, are you really scared?" Zhu Zan leaned over to look at her and said with a raised eyebrow.

Miss Jun looked at him with a somewhat distracted look in her eyes.

Zhu Zan waved his hands in front of her and laughed.

"Are you so timid?" he said, but he stopped laughing the next moment, took a step back, and pointed his finger at Miss Jun. "I'm telling you, don't try this trick, pretending to be scared and stupid to show how much you care about me. I've seen this trick many times. First they panic and are scared to death, and then they rush over to hug me and cry in ecstasy..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Miss Jun scream and rush towards him.

Zhu Zan also cried out and dodged to the side. Miss Jun was a step too late and only grabbed his sleeve, almost pulling it off.

"Thank God I was prepared." Zhu Zan shouted, taking a defensive stance towards Miss Jun, "Don't even think about doing anything to me."

Miss Jun's eyes were red and her face was purple as she stared at him fiercely.

"What are you doing?" she finally shouted, her voice hoarse. "What are you doing? Are you crazy? Are you crazy?"

She just kept shouting this.

It seemed that he was really frightened. Zhu Zan took a step forward while being on guard.

"What can I do? Dig herbs." He said, "These herbs are so rare, of course it's not that easy to get them, there's nothing surprising about it."

Miss Jun bit her lower lip and stared at him fiercely with her red eyes.

This expression is hard to bear to look at.

Zhu Zan took out the purple fairy plant that was stuffed in his arms.

"It's just an accident, nothing to be afraid of." He said, shrugging his shoulders and laughing, deciding to tell a joke to lighten the mood. "What's there to be afraid of? I won't fall to my death like this, will I? Who am I? I'm so powerful, if I fall to my death like this, it would be ridiculous."

But these words obviously did not have a relaxing effect. Before he could finish his words, the girl who had been just staring at him suddenly screamed, grabbed the scattered branches from the ground, and hit him on the head.

"You are ridiculous, you are ridiculous," she shouted.

Zhu Zan was startled and felt puzzled.

"I said I was funny, why did you hit me?" he shouted, "Did you hear me wrong?"
