Chapter 1601: Ask Tang Bao which way to go
After Tang Bao scolded the Snow Wolf, he raised his head and shouted loudly: "Zhuang Zhuang, we are all fine."
The clear echo rang out in the valley.
"Zhuangzhuang...we are all fine...we are all fine...nothing..."
Everyone on the top of the mountain breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Shi Liu came up from the mountain carrying a big bag.
Behind her, there were several guards carrying bags.
"Aunt Shiliu, have the little aunts packed their things?" The young scholar went over and asked, "Have you prepared enough food?"
Shi Liu put down her bag, took a breath, and said, "I've packed everything. I've brought everything I need, including most of the food. It's enough for the young ladies to eat for a few days."
After Shi Liu finished speaking, he leaned over and looked down the cliff.
The air was thick with white fog and nothing could be seen.
However, she no longer had the fear she had before.
It is said that Shi Liu, Xiao Xiucai and others prepared a rope and twisted a long piece of clothes, but they still could not reach the bottom.
Fortunately, Tang Bao and others shouted from below, asking them to throw a rope down and an axe at the same time, saying that the cliff was too steep and it would be too difficult and dangerous for them to come up, so the two groups simply went their separate ways.
Tang Bao and his friends were looking for an exit at the bottom of the cliff, and the two groups met at the border.
As for why they needed the rope and the axe, Tang Bao and others did not say.
Shi Liu and the others were surprised and happy to learn that Tang Bao and the others were safe and sound, and they quickly threw the ropes in their hands down.
Then, he threw down the axe of a guard who used a broad axe as a weapon.
Since they were going their separate ways, Shi Liu was worried that Tang Bao would suffer, so of course she threw some more clothes and food down with her.
So Shi Liu led his men down the hillside in a hurry to pack up things for Tang Bao and the others.
"Master Sun, what treasure do you think the young lady will find down there?" Shi Liu said, looking at the vast expanse of white below the cliff. "Why did I get so confused earlier that I missed the opportunity and didn't jump down with the young lady?"
Pomegranate felt extremely regretful.
After hearing what Shi Liu said, the young scholar showed a serious expression on his face and said, "Aunt Shi Liu, in this situation, we can't all jump down. Someone must stay up there to rescue them."
The young scholar paused at this point and continued, "If we all jump down, who will pack up the things and prepare food for the aunt and the others? There's nothing down there, so wouldn't we all be in trouble?"
"Young Master Sun is right." Shi Liu quickly admitted her mistake and said, "That's just what I said. When His Royal Highness saw the young lady fall, he immediately jumped in after her. Of course, I couldn't jump in too, or we would be wiped out."
As Shi Liu said this, she rolled up her sleeves and added, "I am very strong and must stay on top to pull the young lady up."
Although, it seems now that her strength is useless.
Shi Liu said this, but in fact her mind was blank at the time. She was completely confused and had no idea what to do.
The young scholar nodded and said, "Aunt Shiliu is right to think so, but——"
The young scholar changed his tone and said seriously, "His Royal Highness must have slipped and fell accidentally. He definitely didn't jump down on purpose. Aunt Pomegranate, please don't say anything nonsense."
Pomegranate was startled.
After all, she was someone who had lived in the palace of Western Qin for a period of time.
I also have a certain understanding of some things in the court.
Xuanyuan Jin, as the crown prince, shouldered the future of the dynasty, and now he jumped off a cliff for a girl...
If this were to be spread out and tampered with by someone with ulterior motives, he would definitely be impeached and questioned, thus affecting Xuanyuan Jin's reputation and status.
"Young Master Sun is right. I just slipped up." Shi Liu admitted her mistake again, saying, "At that time, dozens of snow wolves rushed over one after another. The young lady and the crown prince were standing at the edge of the cliff. They slipped and fell down one after another."
Alas! As expected, being with the Third Young Master is tiring.
The third young master is young, but he is meticulous.
Grand Tutor Yu is training the Third Young Master as his successor.
Shi Liu secretly warned herself that she must talk less and do more in front of the Third Young Master.
However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's feelings for the young lady have not changed at all.
Or should I just close my eyes a little more from now on?
Shi Liu's mind raced, and several ideas flashed through his mind in a moment.
The young scholar was very satisfied when he saw that Shi Liu understood what he meant.
"Aunt Shiliu is absolutely right," the young scholar said in a compliment, "Aunt Shiliu has repeatedly made great contributions during this trip. She will definitely be rewarded when she returns to the capital."
Shi Liu gave a dry smile and quickly looked down the cliff, refusing to talk any more with the young scholar.
"Miss...I'm going to throw something down, please get out of the way..."
As Pomegranate shouted, the echoes reverberated among the mountains.
"Miss...something is thrown...get out of the way...get out of the way..."
Tang Bao heard Shi Liu's words from the bottom of the cliff and shouted, "Sure! Throw it!"
“Okay… okay… throw it… throw it… okay…”
As the sound echoed in the mountains, several bundles fell from the sky and landed on the snow one after another.
Everyone stepped forward and opened it. They saw that the largest bundle contained clothes and supplies for Tang Bao and the other girls. In the other bundles, in addition to clothes for Xuanyuan Jin and the others, there were also self-heating food, small charcoal stoves, small hand warmers, warm patches, and so on.
The most important thing is that there are several wooden boards dismantled from Xuanyuan Jin's carriage.
You know, Xuanyuan Jin's carriage may look inconspicuous, but the wooden boards used are definitely of high quality.
Tang Bao's eyes lit up when he saw the wooden board.
Even if she was riding a sled, she wanted to be comfortable, right?
After working for most of the day, everyone was really tired.
So, we found a place sheltered from the wind to eat.
Zhao Wu came back with a few pieces of wood in his arms, covered in snow and wind.
"Master, there are several forks in the road ahead, separated by several snow-capped peaks. I don't know where they lead to. I'm afraid there will be more forks further ahead."
Because the snow-capped peaks are rolling and undulating, no one knows where they lead to.
Moreover, there was no sign of human activity.
Not to mention people, there was not even any sign of bird or animal activity.
There was a hint of worry in Zhao Wu's voice.
These masters are all of noble status, and if any of them loses a hair it is a big deal.
Especially the master and the little princess, there must not be any mistakes!
Zhao Wu felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier than a thousand pounds!
After Zhao Wu finished speaking, he threw the wood onto the snow.
By the way, what does the young princess need the wood for?
Zhao Wu was assigned to explore the way ahead, and he didn't know that Tang Bao was going to use a sled instead of his legs.
After listening to Zhao Wu's words, Xuanyuan Jin casually threw him a box of self-heating hot pot and said calmly, "It's okay. Just ask Tang Bao which way to go when the time comes."
Tang Bao: “…”
Brother, you are actually promoting feudal superstition!
