Ye Qingwan was dragged into a cave. Fortunately, she had some martial arts skills and did not fall flat on her face, but she still fell hard on her butt.

Because her ankle was grabbed by someone, who was very heavy, her lightness skills couldn't drag him at all.

But the other person obviously fell harder than her, and there was a very dull sound of landing. Oh, it hurts just by listening to it.

Without waiting for Ye Qingwan to speak, the man took out a fire starter, and there was finally a little light in the dark cave.

"Xia Xuejian?" Ye Qingwan was confused: "Why are you here?"

Didn't I lock her up in the sheepfold?

Xia Xuejian was emitting the smell of sheep and was covered in dust. She rolled her eyes at her and said, "You have no eyes. Can't you see that I am being hunted?"

Ye Qingwan: ...

Sister, what we are asking is, is it possible that everyone has no eyes at the back of their heads?

"Who wants to kill you?" Ye Qingwan recalled the plot and remembered.

He is Tuoba Yanli's younger brother. They lost the battle in Yazhang. But he was not convinced, so after learning Xia Xuejian's identity, he wanted to capture her to threaten Queen Mother Xiao Ning.

Xia Xuejian is the niece of Empress Dowager Xiao Ning. Her biological father is Empress Dowager Xiao Ning's brother, and she is his illegitimate daughter in the capital of Dayu.

Emperor Dayu was unaware of the existence of this person.

After the Xibe tribe was exterminated, Queen Mother Xiao Ning had been looking for her brother's only flesh and blood. Later, she discovered that Xia Xuejian's biological mother had secretly switched her with the Xia family's concubine's daughter, allowing her to survive as the Xia family's concubine's daughter.

The sect and undercurrents have been secretly helping her, largely because of her Xibe identity.

The role of the heroine is just awesome.

She was either the emperor's daughter who was exiled to the common people, or a princess of the previous dynasty, or a princess of another country.

In short, it is noble.

"You're not hurt?" Xia Xuejian stared at Ye Qingwan in disbelief. She was so delicate, and she fell from such a high place, but she was fine?

Ye Qingwan was startled by the question, and she cried out "Ouch!" and sat down on the ground in an instant, holding the ankle that was grabbed: "I sprained my ankle, it hurts, what are you looking at, why don't you come over and rub it for me?"

Xia Xuejian: ...

So if I didn't ask, you would have forgotten about your sprained ankle?

Xia Xuejian ignored her and put her ear against the earth wall, listening to the noise above.

"Did you find it?"

"I didn't find it. What about you?"

“Neither do I.”

"Let's go and look somewhere else."

After saying that, the footsteps hurriedly moved away, probably everyone had left.

Seeing this, Xia Xue said, "We have to find a way to get up."

Ye Qingwan looked up at the hunting cave that was probably one story high, and then silently glanced at Xia Xuejian, "Sister, have you forgotten that you are a little loser who can't even climb up a two-meter pit?"

But she couldn't say it, she had to always maintain the heroine's highlight moment: "It's so high, how do you get up there?"

Xia Xuejian ignored her and was trying to climb up using various methods, but it was useless.

Ye Qingwan sat on the side, watching her jumping up and down like a monkey. Finally, she couldn't stand it anymore and said arrogantly, "What a waste! Can't we just step on her shoulders and get up there?"

When Xia Xue heard this, she immediately turned around and stared at her, as if to say, how come you suddenly became so smart?

But she quickly raised an objection: "Didn't you sprain your ankle? Can you stand up?"

Ye Qingwan had a look of "I'm the best." "What's this little injury to me?"

Then he pretended to limp to the side of the earth wall and said impatiently, "What are you looking at? Hurry up and squat down."

"You stepped on me?"

"What else?" Ye Qingwan asked her arrogantly, "How dare you step on this princess?"

Xia Xuejian gritted her teeth and really wanted to punch her, but she still squatted down obediently: "Hurry up."

Ye Qingwan secretly stuck out her tongue. After stepping on Tuoba Xiong, I stepped on Xia Xuejian. The male and female protagonists were all stepped on by me. To be honest, it feels good to be the vicious female supporting role.

Section 117

He put his feet on Xia Xuejian's shoulders, then Xia Xuejian supported the wall and stood up with difficulty: "Is it okay?"

"Stay a little closer to the wall. I can't reach the hole."

Xia Xue was helpless and could only press her face against the wall. Ye Qingwan then grabbed the hole, pushed up with both hands, and climbed up.

After going up, he wanted to reach out to pull Xia Xuejian, but he found out, damn, his arms were too short and he couldn't reach her.

"Wait a minute, I'll go find a rope."

"Hey, you're not going to leave me alone, are you?" Xia Xuejian shouted in great concern.

Ye Qingwan rolled her eyes. Do you think I am like this? Really, it makes me feel so disappointed.

You should ask if I would find a board to cover the hole.

But you are the heroine, don't worry, I am more afraid of you dying early than you are.

After searching for a long time, Ye Qingwan finally found a rope made of tree bark. She found a large stone and tied it to the rope. Then she threw the other end down and let her climb up by herself.

Xia Xuejian had to work very hard to finally climb up. After climbing up, she kept holding her shoulders and her face turned blue from the pain.

Ye Qingwan: ...

Young man, you can't be so weak, can you?

Play as you like, but take care of your health.

But seeing that she didn't want to pretend, I quickly squatted down and asked her: "What's wrong with you?"

Xia Xuejian lifted up her sleeve and saw a very obvious red mark on her arm below her shoulder.

At first, Ye Qingwan thought it was stained, and she used her finger to wipe it with saliva, but found that it couldn't be wiped off: "What is this?"

Xia Xuejian was in so much pain that her whole body was drenched in sweat. She didn't even have the strength to speak and could only shake her head.

"Poisoned?" Ye Qingwan looked carefully, and suddenly a hidden weapon sounded, scaring her like a rooster with its feathers standing on end: "Is this thing of yours... is it going up all the time?"

"How do you know?" Xia Xuejian asked her back.

Ye Qingwan: ...

Is that true?!

Xia Xuejian said: "It first appeared in the palm of my hand, then moved up along my arm, and now it's almost at my shoulder. It doesn't hurt normally, it only hurts when I'm doing strenuous activities."

Ye Qingwan: ...

Ahhhh!

Which bastard dared to plot against my heroine?

Come out here, or I’ll skin you alive.

"How long did it take you to get this thing from your palm to your shoulder?" Ye Qingwan asked her.

"More than a year."

More than a year?!

It takes more than a year to go from the palm to the shoulder, then enter the carotid artery, then enter the internal circulation, go around the body, and finally reach the heart. It takes at least three to five to seven years, right?

Three to five to seven years would be enough for her to become queen.

That's okay.

Ye Qingwan patted his chest to comfort himself, but still couldn't help but slap her on the head. Why are you so disappointing? I can't carry you anymore.
