The wind blew in with raindrops, falling on my face and hands, making me feel a little cold.
After a while, Wu Weian spoke first: "I'm leaving."
Ji Yunxi looked at him with a probing gaze.
Wu Weian raised his eyebrows slightly: "What?"
"Nothing." Ji Yunxi retracted her gaze, something in her eyes moved, and she said softly, "If it were you before, you would take the opportunity to stay at this time."
Wu Weian has never been a sentimental person. He is indifferent to everything in this world.
Ji Yunxi had doubted Wu Weian's true identity many times before.
Could he be one of the emperor's princes who was exiled?
Because his temperament is quite similar to the emperor's in some ways.
In the eyes of the emperor, the people are nothing more than pawns in his hands.
And in Wu Weian's view, this world is probably just a game of chess.
Wu Wei'an chuckled and said, "Really?"
After a while, he sighed and replied, "Yes."
He turned around, glanced at the injured people all over the mine, and said to Ji Yunxi, "You have to be careful."
His eyes gleamed slightly, and he said, "There's someone with good skills. I'll go down and take a look."
The sword shot at Xu Qian was quite powerful.
Whoever meets that person below will surely die.
Wu Weian didn't stay any longer. With a tap of his toes, he disappeared into the rain curtain.
The four words "You should be careful too" fell on Ji Yunxi's throat but she didn't have time to say them out loud.

This was the third day that Wu Weian and his team had been in Qinghe County, and the rescue became increasingly difficult as time went on.
Most of the people who were still alive have been rescued.
But how many people are still in the dark, their lives and deaths unknown?
Everyone checked together in sections.
Qinghe County is considered an upper-middle-class county with a fairly large area.
The raging flood swept through, and the houses were knocked down.
But in some high rooms where the flood has not yet reached, there may still be people dying.
Everyone divided into areas and headed towards these high buildings to investigate one by one.
The entrances to some rooms were blocked by broken walls and rubble from all directions.
When the officers and detectives encountered this situation, they would just shout a few words at the entrance: "Is there anyone else inside?"
If there is no response, they leave.
But the Ji family army is different.
Even if no one responds, they will still try their best to lift the cover and see if there is anyone unconscious inside.
Sometimes, there is no one inside.
Sometimes, there are people inside.
Sometimes, the people inside may be dead.
Sometimes, the person inside may still be half alive, and can come back to life by drinking a sip of water.
Before it is truly opened, who can tell what is inside?
The officers, soldiers and constables watched what Ji Jiajun did and followed suit silently.
In addition, they also have to be on guard against whether there are swordsmen hiding inside.
If it were a swordsman, it would be his death.
At this point, the swordsman no longer cared.
They were blood-thirsty and would kill anyone who crossed their swords.
Wu Weian was trying to catch the person who shot the sword at Xu Qian.
With such skills, Wu Weian guessed that the man was probably the leader of the Beishan Sword Sect.
The head of the sect has come in person, and the current emperor really thinks highly of them.
To catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. If the leader is not removed, the crisis will always be there.
The head of Beishan was no pushover either. He was very cunning and knew that he was no match for Wu Weian in a head-on fight. So he relied on his excellent swimming skills and swam like a fish by taking advantage of the broken walls and ordinary people on the ground.
He sometimes appeared around Ji Mingshuang and slashed at Ji Mingshuang with a sword.
Wu Weian rushed over, and the head of Beishan did not want to fight anymore, and immediately jumped into the water to escape.
Then the next time, he would appear either around Ji Minghao or around Yuan Guanshi.
The head of Beishan was hovering between these people.
Wu Weian kept chasing after the head of Beishan. Even though he was fooled around, he never got anxious and remained calm.
-
To this day, the swordsman has never appeared in the mines.
But that doesn’t mean there isn’t one.
The storm was coming, and Ji Yunxi sensed the danger.
She no longer joined the crowd in bandaging the wounded.
Ji Yunxi began to look for shelter.
Her first thought was of the carriage.
If she can think of it, how could the people behind her not think of it?
But the carriage was still outside, as if luring you into a trap.
If I go in and hide, I'm afraid I'll be shot like a hedgehog?
Aunt Gui was injured by a hidden arrow from a distance.
Then, Ji Yunxi thought of the Ji family army’s camp.
She asked someone to take a look first.
But the people who came back told her that the Ji family army had no military camp at all.
They came in a hurry, and they were carrying supplies for the victims, including food and fodder, and camping supplies, which Ji Jiajun did not bring.
These days, her second brother lied to her and said he was sleeping in the camp.
But in fact, Ji Jiajun slept under a tree, using moist soil as a mat and rain as a blanket.
After all consideration, the mine is actually the best refuge.
Ji Yunxi made a prompt decision and asked someone to call the prince. Together with the injured Ji Mingyan, they stayed in a corner of the mine, away from the crowd.
Wanxiang has returned and joined hands with the martial arts masters hired by Ji Yunxi to protect Ji Yunxi and others in the rear.
Others would not be the emperor's target, so he continued to move around as usual and provide treatment to the new victims.
Although the prince did not want to be protected in such a cowardly way, he was not stupid and knew what was more important.
If you ask who his father wants to die the most, it would probably be him.
He didn't say anything and lay down next to Ji Mingyan, intending to take the opportunity to catch up on his sleep.
After staying up for several nights, the dark circles under the prince's eyes became more severe.
The prince slept closer to Ji Mingyan, and Ji Mingyan suddenly cried out in pain: "Your Highness, you touched my wound!"
