Chapter 69 She fell off the cliff!

The little brother didn't speak for a long time. Xihe seemed to sense something and quietly pulled his sleeve, with pleading eyes, "Little brother, let's take the fifth brother with us! Okay?"

Xiao Mingxuan was about to speak when Zhao Zize in the carriage spoke first, his voice a little hoarse, "Xihe, follow the Ninth Prince and go to a safe place first."

"I don't want it! I want my brother to go with me!" The little girl held on stubbornly, struggling to rush back.

Seeing a few escaped fish coming towards this side, Zhao Zize was worried and his tone became heavier, "Xihe, be obedient! My brother will be fine!"

"I won't!" Xihe's face was pale. She was obviously scared to death, but she held the curtain tightly and refused to let go. Her tone was a little choked with sobs, "I won't abandon my brother! Absolutely not!"

Zhao Zize suddenly clenched the armrest of the wheelchair with one hand. He felt his heart pounding. The scene in front of him gradually blurred. A tear actually flowed down his nose, and it felt raw when it touched his mouth.

Xiao Mingxuan hid the gloom in his eyes, glanced at the robbers who were getting closer and closer, and made up his mind, "Take him with you! Let's go together!"

The two little men worked together and took great pains to move Zhao Zizhe's wheelchair down, and the three of them ran into the dense forest.

After about a quarter of an hour, there was a cliff ahead and there was nowhere to go.

Thinking they were far enough, the three of them stopped to rest and waited for Zhao Chengning to come find them.

“Why are there robbers?”

I just said this place was safe, but the next thing I knew I was robbed. It's really as bad as I said.

"I don't know. This is not the first year that the National Academy has organized a study tour, nor is it the first time that they have taken this route." Although he ran all the way, Xiao Mingxuan's breathing was steady and he did not look tired at all. When he raised his hand, his movements were unusually steady. "Unless..."

"Unless they know that it is the imperial city's team and have already ambushed here." Zhao Zizhe continued.

The little girl bit her hand and thought, "There were no bad guys before, but now there are bad guys. Is there anything new this year?"

Xiao Mingxuan and Zhao Zizhe looked at each other and understood each other tacitly.

The only difference from last year is the addition of Zhao Chengning, Zhao Jinyuan, Zhao Zize and... Xihe, who is traveling far away for the first time.

The eldest prince and the second prince are often away, so if the target is them, there is no need to wait until this time.

Zhao Zizhe has a leg disease, so there is no profit at all.

Then their target can only be... Zhao Xihe.

Xiao Mingxuan's eyes darkened slightly, and the wind blew up the strands of hair on his forehead, hiding his unclear expression.

Suddenly, his eyes became stern and his expression changed drastically.

"Oh no! That group of people... are coming."

The three people's hearts sank to the bottom.

There was no way out for them.

The little girl stood aside, clutching a packet of medicine powder tightly, pursing her lips and staring at a group of robbers not far away.

When the man saw Xihe, he whispered something to someone nearby.

Then he said, "Hand over the little princess, and the remaining two can go."

"Impossible." Xiao Mingxuan protected the person behind him and spat out a few words coldly with a stern expression.

The leading robber laughed grimly, "Okay, I'll send you to hell."

"Do it!" the robber shouted, and immediately seven or eight people rushed towards the three people.

Zhao Zize's wheelchair was heavy, and in his attempt to dodge, he accidentally fell off the wheelchair.

The situation on Xiao Mingxuan's side was not good either. Although he had martial arts skills, two fists could not beat four hands, not to mention that he was bringing Xihe with him.

Soon he was defeated and forced to retreat step by step. Just one step away, he would fall into the abyss.

Xiao Mingxuan lost his strength. The blade above his head was about to fall, but he couldn't muster up the slightest bit of strength to resist.

Are you really going to die here?
"Little brother, squat down!"

Xiao Mingxuan dodged and made way, and Xihe sprinkled the powder over, and immediately there was a terrifying scream of pain from the opposite side.

“Ahhhhhhh…” A group of people rolled on the ground, covering their eyes. Xihe took the opportunity to run over and pull Xiao Mingxuan back from the edge of the cliff.

"Little brother..." Xihe gasped heavily, hugged Xiao Mingxuan tightly, and was filled with fear.

Just a little bit, just a little bit.

At that moment, if Xiao Mingxuan did not trust Xihe, or if Xihe was a step slower, Xiao Mingxuan would probably have been a corpse.

"It's okay...it's okay."

As the two were talking, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the dense forest. Xihe was startled and filled with fear.

Can't be so unlucky? There are still people and horses?

"Xihe!"

Zhao Chengning's voice came from afar, and the little girl breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed in Xiao Mingxuan's arms, "It's big brother, big brother is here to see us."

The leading robber's face changed drastically, his eyes moved between the two groups of people, and suddenly he made up his mind, and was about to catch Xihe with a knife.

Xiao Mingxuan rushed forward, blocking the little girl tightly, with a fierce light in his eyes, staring at the robber fiercely, "Get out! Dare to touch her!"

The look on his face was like that of a wolf cub, and the robber couldn't help but take two steps back in fear.

Then he cursed and kicked Xiao Mingxuan in the chest.

The kick was so powerful that Xiao Mingxuan was exhausted and flew out like a piece of rag, falling off the cliff.

"Little brother!"

Xihe watched Xiao Mingxuan fall with a painful look on his face, and without thinking, he jumped down after him. Like a butterfly with broken wings, he fell straight down, and the robber's hands that wanted to catch him fell into empty air.

"Xihe!" Zhao Zize's heart-wrenching roar echoed at the edge of the cliff. His eyes were red, but his legs were weak. He had to rely on the strength of his arms to crawl towards the edge of the cliff little by little.

"Xihe, sister! Sister..." Zhao Zize looked crazy, with most of his body falling outside the cliff. He was unaware that his hands were covered in dust and blood from crawling. His eyes were fixed on the mist at the bottom of the cliff, but he could not find any trace of Xihe.

"Zizhe! Zizhe, don't do this!" Zhao Jinyuan rushed over and pulled the shaky Zhao Zizhe back from the edge of the cliff.

Zhao Zize was confused and covered in dust. He grabbed Zhao Jinyuan's sleeve tightly and couldn't speak clearly, "Brother! Second brother! Save Xihe! Save my sister! She fell off the cliff! Brother! I beg you! Go and save her!"

By the end, his tone was already filled with tears.

Zhao Zizhe had never been as desperate as he was today when he found out that his leg was broken.

That was Xihe, his sister, the one who pulled him out of the quagmire! She was the only one who was willing to lend a hand to him!

"I know! Don't be angry, I will lead the troops down to look for her right now. We will definitely find Xihe. It's okay, it's okay."

Zhao Jinyuan's words seemed to be addressed to the panicked Zhao Zize, but also seemed to be comforting himself.

The cliffs beneath the dense forests in the mountains are thousands of feet high, and the chances of survival are very slim.

"Zizhe, be obedient. I'll have someone take you back to the carriage to rest. I'll tell you when I find someone."

Zhao Zizhe bit his lips tightly, and after a long while, he nodded reluctantly, "Okay, I'll go back and wait."

He knew that he was unable to move and would only cause trouble.
