Chapter 98: Falling off a cliff, who will save me?

She tightened the reins from behind Qingyun. The horse felt the strength of the person holding the reins and began to calm down.

Fortunately, this is just a small pony. If it were a war horse, Ji Qingwu would not be able to control it.

Horses are used to "bullying" people. The more gentle you are to them, the more they will tease you. Once they feel your power, they will be obedient.

After Ji Qingwu took control of the reins, the chestnut pony was obviously much more under control, but it still kept running forward and couldn't stop.

It was about to break through the railing.

Ji Qingwu made up her mind in an instant. She hugged Qingyun and shouted, "Let's jump down. Don't be afraid!"

"No...I'm afraid..."

Princess Qingyun was so frightened that she stepped on the stirrups tightly and held on to the horse's mane without letting go.

This caused Ji Qingwu to miss the best opportunity to vault.

The horse quickly jumped over the isolation belt. Ji Qingwu became ruthless and used all his strength to grab Princess Qingyun and drag her off the horse.

The two of them hugged each other and rolled several times on the stone-covered ground, and only stopped when they rolled to the edge of the cliff.

When Princess Qingyun opened her eyes, she found that there was an abyss under half of her body. She was so scared that she kicked her hands and feet in the air.

Ji Qingwu frowned and warned, "Don't move!"

The princess was not going to listen and pushed Ji Qingwu hard, trying to get away from this dangerous place as soon as possible.

Feeling the sand beneath him slipping away, Ji Qingwu wanted to roll back to the inside.

But it was too late. The sand and gravel loosened and fell in chunks. Princess Qingyun screamed, and the two of them fell down together.

Ji Qingwu reacted quickly. Seeing that there was a big tree on the cliff, he shouted, "Grab the branches!"

Princess Qingyun had a strong desire to survive and quickly hugged the nearest tree.

Originally, this tree was more lush and could withstand the weight of two women, but Qingyun kicked it wildly in the air, and Ji Qingwu's arm was hit by her foot, so he couldn't grab the branch.

She continued to fall, but she was not destined to die, as there was a smaller tree below her. She grabbed hold of it and hung on it, thus avoiding falling into the abyss and being smashed into a meat pie.

Princess Qingyun hugged the tree, not daring to look at the cliff below, and cried and screamed.

"Fifth cousin! Fifth cousin, are you dead?"

After Ji Qingwu had firmly grasped the body, he replied with a hint of helplessness: "I'm almost dead if I'm not dead yet." He was almost killed by the opponent's kick just now.

But Qingyun was really frightened and it was not intentional.

“Fifth cousin, what should we do?” The princess, who had never encountered such danger, collapsed and shouted, “Is there anyone up there? Someone come and save me, I’m here!”

The more dangerous the situation, the calmer Ji Qingwu remained.

She said, "Your Highness, the girl from the Huo family knows which direction your horse ran to. It will take them some time to find it. You should save your energy first."

Hearing the calm tone of his fifth cousin, Qingyun felt a little more at ease.

In fact, Ji Qingwu did not expect that Miss Huo would ask anyone to come over. After all, when she was riding a horse to chase the princess just now, she did not follow. She must have been scared and did not dare to tell the news to others. She might even sneak back.

But she was certain that someone would come looking for her because she trusted the people sent to her by Emperor Wu Su, and Si Hai would definitely be able to lead people to find them.

Sure enough, not long after, a group of people came over with torches.

The leader saw the traces of horses' galloping hooves on the ground and the traces of people tumbling, and immediately ran to the edge of the cliff.

His voice was still steady as he shouted, "Qingyun!"

Princess Qingyun looked up and saw who that person was, and tears started to flow down her face.

The voice responded aggrievedly and pitifully: "Chengxun, you are here, you are here to save me, I shouldn't be angry with you, it's good that you are here."

The two had a quarrel over something, but having just experienced a life-and-death situation, Qingyun felt that nothing could be better than seeing him.

Li Chengxun saw Princess Qingyun hanging on a tree at the bottom of the cliff and calmly comforted her, "Princess, don't be afraid. I will pull you up right away."

But when he saw clearly who the woman in red hanging on the small tree below was, his whole body froze and his calm expression instantly turned into panic.

Ji Qingwu didn't expect that he would be the first one to come here.

But no matter who it is, at least someone came and we will be saved.

Her current mood was one of extreme regret...regret for having eaten an extra bowl of porridge in the morning.

Because she felt that the small tree she was holding on to began to shake slightly and could no longer bear her weight.

Li Chengxun lay on the ground, and after some hesitation, he reached out his hand towards Princess Qingyun.

But at this moment, there was a loud rustling sound, and the small tree on which Ji Qingwu was hanging suddenly loosened, revealing a lot of its roots.

Princess Qingyun's hand fell empty, and she watched in shock as Li Chengxun's hand just moved away.

Li Chengxun noticed the situation on Ji Qingwu's side, and without thinking, he stretched out his hand to Princess Qingyun, but temporarily changed his route, leaned down, and directly grabbed the woman who was about to fall.

The next moment, the small tree broke away from the rock wall and fell straight into the dark abyss.

If he had hesitated just now, Ji Qingwu would have fallen off the cliff and his body would be nowhere to be found.

Li Chengxun's bright eyes were filled with fear. Only half of his body was left on the ground, and his fingers were tightly grasping her.

"Hold on to me!"

Ji Qingwu's lips turned pale, and she was obviously frightened and her heart was pounding. As Li Chengxun pulled her harder, she also exerted force with her feet.

With a pull and a push, she finally returned to the flat ground.

At the same time, several guards who came with them quickly pulled Princess Qingyun up.

Ji Qingwu's palms were sweaty. She breathed softly and walked alone to the area within the guardrail, away from the cliff, to calm herself down.

She was calm at the time, but felt scared inside afterwards.

After Princess Qingyun was rescued, her body was shaking like a sieve and she sat on the ground with weak legs.

"Qingyun, are you okay?" Li Chengxun stepped forward and held her hand, but she shook it away.

Princess Qingyun's hands and feet ached, but she was supported by the anger in her heart and she staggered to Ji Qingwu's side.

When everyone was unable to react, Princess Qingyun slapped her in the face as if she had used up all her strength.

Ji Qingwu subconsciously dodged backwards.

The pampered little princess had very little strength left in her body. Not only did the attack miss, but her nails also caught on a few strands of her hair, and her fingers only brushed her face.

After Princess Qingyun had beaten the man with great effort, her body tilted and she was about to fall to the side due to her unstable center of balance.

Ji Qingwu was still calming down from surviving a disaster, and she hadn't expected Qingyun to suddenly have an outburst and have the energy to pick a fight with her.

It looked like he got hit, but it didn't hurt, just a little embarrassing.

After all, it's better not to hit someone in the face, especially in front of so many people.

A light flashed in her eyes, and she stretched out her leg in the dark and tripped Qingyun, who fell straight into the grass on her right.
