Chapter 27 Two Strangers at the Bottom of the Cliff
After finishing everything, Jiang Yunzheng sat down against the tree trunk.
She held Qi Yunshen's sword in her hand and looked around vigilantly. This was a primitive mountain where wild beasts could appear at any time.
Jiang Yunzheng endured for a long time, feeling cold and hungry. After about an hour, Qi Yunshen's cheeks turned red, his whole body became hot, and he began to have a fever.
Jiang Yunzheng sighed. He couldn't let anyone burn to death here.
She took out the silver needles and pierced several acupuncture points on Qi Yunshen. After more than an hour, Qi Yunshen gradually returned to normal, but Jiang Yunzheng couldn't bear the tiredness and fell into a deep sleep.
Perhaps because she was extremely tired, Jiang Yunzheng slept very soundly.
Even dreaming.
The dream was about Xu Jingyang's previous life when she just married into the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. She and Qi Yunshen lived together in Luoya Residence. Since she moved in, Qi Yunshen has lived in Luoya Residence and has never moved out.
Half a month later, Xu Jingyang began to feel more familiar with the "husband" who lived in the same house with her.
Qi Yunshen climbed up the pole and saw that Xu Jingyang was not so afraid of him, so he began to sleep on the same bed with Xu Jingyang. One time, Qi Yunshen came back late, and after washing up in the second room, he returned to the room with his upper body naked.
I thought Xu Jingyang had fallen asleep long ago, but I didn't expect that his wife was standing on the bed, staring at the scar on Qi Yunshen's body with a look of shock, anxiety and fear.
Qi Yunshen quickly put on his clothes. That night, Xu Jingyang's eyes were red. She carefully touched the scars on Qi Yunshen's body and whispered, "Were you beaten too? Does it hurt?"
Hearing the sound, Qi Yunshen immediately turned over. The man's deep eyes gradually froze in the night. He pulled open Jiang Yunzheng's underwear and saw several old scars inside. His face darkened: "Who did it?"
This was the first time Qi Yunshen saw Xu Jingyang's body clearly.
Xu Jingyang poked Qi Yunshen's face. She closed her clothes and rubbed her bulging belly as she prepared to go to sleep: "It's my second brother."
Since then, the first thing Qi Yunshen would do before going to bed every night was to apply skin-gelling cream on Jiang Yunzheng.
Jiang Yunzheng suddenly opened his eyes and heard crackling sounds in his ears.
There was a bonfire burning in front of them. The person lying on the ground had disappeared, and the sword in Jiang Yunzheng's hand had also disappeared.
There were footsteps behind her, and Jiang Yunzheng knew who it was without turning around.
Qi Yunshen shot a chicken and a rabbit nearby, cleaned them by the river and brought them back.
"woke up?"
Jiang Yunzheng pursed her lips: "Thank you very much for what I said just now."
Qi Yunshen said calmly: "You can be said to have suffered an unprovoked disaster."
The atmosphere was silent for a moment, and Jiang Yunzheng stared at the person in front of him.
Qi Yunshen was casually wearing an outer robe and there was no sign of injury at all. His tall figure cast a long shadow on the ground. Soon, he handed a rabbit to Jiang Yunzheng.
The fragrance filled the air, and Jiang Yunzheng took it without any pretense and said thank you.
Qi Yunshen had a blank expression on his face, looking down at the person on the ground. "You said you could cure Zhenzhen's muteness. How confident are you?"
Jiang Yunzheng answered 50%.
Qi Yunshen looked at the woman on the ground. Jiang Yunzheng's hair was disheveled, her face was dirty, and there were scratches on her neck. She looked at him with a pair of cold eyes: "Prince Qi has great magical powers. If you can find the thousand-year-old Phoenix Yu, there is an 80% chance that your daughter's illness can be cured."
Millennium Phoenix Yu...
"Although it's not as rare as its name suggests, this herb is also extremely rare. Most of it grows in hot spring areas and is watered with special materials in the hot spring water. The last news of a thousand-year-old Phoenix Yu was ten years ago."
The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was wealthy, so it would be much easier for Qi Yunshen to find the Millennium Phoenix Yu than for her.
Qi Yunshen hummed, "I'll send someone to take care of this matter."
The atmosphere was quiet, Jiang Yunzheng still looked cold and indifferent, and Qi Yunshen was not a talkative person.
When the sky turned pale, the two of them stood up at the same time.
Jiang Yunzheng found some banana leaves to pack up the remaining rabbit meat, and the two of them walked down the mountain along the river, one in front and the other behind.
The terrain was rugged and difficult to walk on. There were many stones of various sizes blocking the way along the river. Jiang Yunzheng fell back and forth many times, and the distance between him and Qi Yunshen in front was getting farther and farther.
Qi Yunshen has been marching all year round, so this kind of terrain is like flat ground for him. They can just follow Qi Yunshen and get out. Jiang Yunzheng gritted her teeth, dragged her blistered feet, and quickened her pace to keep up.
After walking along the gravel road, we soon entered the dense forest.
The trees inside were taller than the previous ones, most of them were so big that three people could hug them, blocking most of the sunlight above.
Suddenly, Jiang Yunzheng stopped.
Qi Yunshen in front also stopped.
Jiang Yunzheng's hair stood up all over her body. Her master once told her that the skin is like eyes to a certain extent, and can detect danger at the first moment.
In front of the two of them, a strong wolf was staring at them with a fierce look.
Qi Yunshen slowly drew out his sword.
Jiang Yunzheng was in a dilemma, neither advancing nor retreating. Wolves are pack animals. She glanced around cautiously, but there were no other wolves. But if this wolf suddenly howled and called for its companions...
Suddenly, the wolf rushed towards Qi Yunshen, with extremely high jumping ability, and grabbed Qi Yunshen with its sharp claws.
Qi Yunshen looked calm and not panicked at all. He swung his sword and the wolf's front paws began to bleed. The smell of blood would attract fellow wolves.
The wolf roared angrily, and the whole forest was filled with the echo of the wolf's howl.
The wolf probably knew it was no match for Jiang Yunzheng and turned to attack him.
Jiang Yunzheng immediately stepped back. She moved her right hand slightly, and at that moment, a sharp sword pierced through the wolf's belly from the side. Blood splashed onto Jiang Yunzheng's sleeves. The wolf fell directly to the ground, whimpering, and had no strength to attack anymore.
In addition, two silver needles were inserted directly into the wolf's eyes.
Seeing Jiang Yunzheng's actions, Qi Yunshen didn't say much. He drew his sword and glanced behind him: "Follow, its companions will be here soon."
Jiang Yunzheng pursed her lips and quickly followed.
Fortunately, when they walked out of the forest, the supporting guards arrived. When the two sides met up, Qingying almost knelt down to Qi Yunshen. At that critical moment, it was too late for him to pull Qi Yunshen. He could only watch Qi Yunshen fall off the cliff, and then immediately sent people to search at the foot of the mountain.
When Qingying saw Qi Yunshen, she almost cried. With the prince's current physical condition, he could not afford to be hurt.
Yu, Little Yu and Chen Yingyu were sent back to the city last night. The remaining King Yu and Xu Jiashu did not sleep all night. If Qi Yunshen really fell off the cliff and died, King Yu would be completely hated by His Majesty and would never be able to turn things around.
In addition to King Yu's men, Qingying also brought a lot of guards and secret guards from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
King Yu said politely, "Thanks to the blessings of our ancestors, Prince Qi and Madam Shi have returned safely."
King Yu heard from Xu Jiashu that Jiang Yunzheng was his concubine's sister-in-law.
Qi Yunshen jumped onto his horse and said, "Your Highness Prince Yu is lucky. He always has someone to take the blame."
King Yu: "You!"
The scapegoat, Jiang Yunzheng, glanced at the silent Xu Jiashu with a cold look.
She curled the corners of her lips coldly. People are used to pretending to be innocent.
Xu Jiashu met Jiang Yunzheng's mocking gaze, touched his nose, and was about to say a few words when he saw Jiang Yunzheng get directly into the carriage that had been prepared in advance.
Looking at Jiang Yunzheng's back, Xu Jiashu suddenly had a rare image of a person flashing in his mind.
Thinking of Xu Jingyang, Xu Jiashu frowned in disgust.
