The man turned around instinctively, and was taken aback when he saw Chen Shi: "Why did you come along? Didn't I tell you to stay in the cave?"
“I said I would stand with you through thick and thin,” Chen Shi said stubbornly.
Ye Zhiyuan's brows were full of helplessness: "This road is very dangerous!"
"I'm not afraid. As long as I'm with you, I'm not afraid." Chen Shi looked up, the rain hitting her face, making it hard for her to open her eyes.
Ye Zhiyuan immediately raised his hand to shield her from the rain. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a rumbling sound of sand and gravel rolling closer. Upon hearing the noise, everyone quickly panicked.
Ye Zhiyuan quickly surveyed the road conditions: "Everyone, run up the mountain! This section of the road is a bit bumpy and very dangerous!"
"Why go up the mountain? Isn't it more dangerous up there!" someone shouted, their voice already trembling with tears.

Chen Shi simply took out a gold medal from his pocket and showed it to everyone; the flash of lightning made the gold medal stand out clearly.
As everyone prepared to kneel and pray, Chen Shi immediately shouted, "Don't kneel! Everyone, listen to the Prince Consort and run up the mountain! We will definitely survive this ordeal!"
After saying that, she took the lead and ran towards the path Ye Zhiyuan pointed out, climbing up using both her hands and feet.
Only then did the crowd quickly catch up.
Since the princess has climbed up, it means it's really safe.
Seeing that everyone had finally listened, Ye Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand, and led his guards away from the official road to chase after the group.
