The courtyard is deep in spring

Chapter 159 Escaped

Night fell.

The night in the forest seemed to be darker earlier than usual. Ye Zhaoqing had just raised his head to send off the last ray of sunset in the sky. The boundless darkness around him seemed to be like a surging tide, submerging everything.

In the dark, it seems easier to hide.

"Cuckoo..." Accompanied by the night, Ye Zhaoqing and Liu'er were hungry.

"..." Liu'er stretched out her hand to press her stomach, and looked at Ye Zhaoqing with some guilt.

Ye Zhaoqing stretched out his hand to hold her hand, gave her a comforting look, and carefully poked his head out to look across.

In the dark forest not far away, there were dots of fire flashing from time to time, mixed with the sound of footsteps and curses, blown far away by the night wind.

Murong Shen has not returned yet.

To be able to hide for such a long time without being discovered is simply a great luck.But that doesn't mean they'll always be lucky.

The half roast chicken at noon had already been completely digested by the stomach, Ye Zhaoqing and the others faced not only the problem of hiding, but also the risk of finding food.The scope of those people's search is getting wider and wider, and they are almost here.

Murong Shen, where is he?

Ever since her parents passed away, Ye Zhaoqing had never been so worried about a single person like now, but in the current situation, she couldn't do anything except pull Liu Er'an to hide quietly in the grass enough to cover the two of them.

Those people are so sensitive, as long as they move a little bit, they will be noticed.

But this situation did not last long.

This is the only way down the mountain, and it has been guarded all the time. Those people were quite sure that Ye Zhaoqing and the others did not leave by another road. After they searched almost the entire Qishan Mountain, they finally turned their spearhead to the cliff.

"Go over there to search! They can't fly away with wings!" The young man in the lead said to the crowd behind him with torches with a gloomy face.

"But Mr. Lin, there is a cliff over there. Ms. Ye is a weak woman, how could she be there? Could it be that they jumped off the cliff?"

The young man named Mr. Lin snorted coldly: "What nonsense are you talking about? Even if we jump off a cliff, Miss Ye won't do it!"

Everyone immediately bowed their heads in silence.

Mr. Lin narrowed his eyes, and his expression looked a bit fierce under the light of the fire: "Did you forget what the master told you when you came here? You want to see people when you live, and you want to see corpses when you die! Let me go, no matter what happens tonight." Find them! Otherwise, come see me!"

"Yes, Mr. Lin." Everyone answered dejectedly, and no one dared to shout tired, and continued to search dejectedly.

Mr. Lin stood in a clearing in the forest with a torch in his hand, looking deeply at the cliff to the west.

Are they really hiding there?
No one gave him an answer.

There was a night wind blowing, and it seemed that there was a faint fragrance that seemed to be there.

Mr. Lin closed his eyes lightly and sniffed, then suddenly opened his eyes, the eyes were full of light.

In the inn yesterday, he had smelled a similar smell on Ye Zhaoqing's body!
It's a cliff!From the other side of the cliff!
He no longer hesitated, and suddenly raised his feet and strode towards that side!

Seeing his movements, everyone was shocked, and they couldn't help stepping up their pace.

Just when these people were about to approach the cliff here, Ye Zhaoqing's nervous heart was about to come out of his throat.

You can't escape, and you can only wait for death if you stay, what should you do?what to do?
Just when Ye Zhaoqing was burning with anxiety, suddenly a hand stretched out from the bushes behind him, and suddenly grabbed her!
Ye Zhaoqing almost screamed, the man covered her mouth quickly with his eyes and hands, and Liu'er beside her was hit on the Ya acupoint just as she opened her mouth, at the same time a familiar voice rang in her ears: " it's me."

It's Murong Shen!

He is back!

Ye Zhaoqing was really grateful, this man came back so timely, she almost couldn't help rushing forward to give him a hug, but she held back, and broke Murong Shen's hand and asked in a low voice and hastily Said: "It's just in time for you to come back, what should we do now?"

Time was running out, she didn't even have time to ask where Murong Shen had been during this time.

Murong Shen also knew that now was not the time to explain those things, so he replied in a low voice: "Zhaoqing, don't take pictures, follow me!"

He said, pulling her to stand up abruptly.

Ye Zhaoqing also pulled up Liu'er who had the Ya acupoint pressed.

"I know that there is a small cave under this cliff. The entrance of the cave is covered by green plants, so it will not be noticed easily. Let's go down!"

Ye Zhaoqing's eyes widened when he heard the words: "Murong Shen, are you kidding me? Do you know that I have a fear of heights? I'm afraid..."

Before she finished speaking, she was kicked off the cliff by Murong Shen!
"Ah!" Ye Zhaoqing finally let out a scream!
At the same time, Murong Shen quickly pulled Liu'er and jumped off the edge of the cliff, and stretched out a hand from mid-air to hold Ye Zhaoqing back.

"Over there! Hurry up! Hurry up!" Hearing the scream, Mr. Lin's heart trembled violently, and his feet immediately changed from walking to running, and the people beside him hurriedly chased after him.

By the time they ran to the edge of the cliff, there was already no one there.

"Mr. Lin, are they really falling?" One person saw Mr. Lin's gloomy face and couldn't help but stepped forward and said.

Mr. Lin didn't say a word, but fixed his eyes on the cliff.

Even if there is a torch to illuminate, how far can it be seen?The cliff is so deep that you can't see anything at all.

"Mr. Lin, do you think that Ms. Ye is going around and screaming on purpose, making us mistakenly think that she jumped off the cliff, but in fact, she has already escaped?" Another person said: "And you, my lord Didn't you just say that it's impossible for Miss Ye to jump off a cliff?"

"It's impossible for her to jump off the cliff." Mr. Lin said darkly.

Although Ye Zhaoqing only met once, it was an opportunity he deliberately created. He thought that there would be a chance for the beauty to fall in love with him, so he would save a lot of effort, but it's a pity that the beauty didn't want to take another look at him at all. .

He inquired about Ye Zhaoqing's affairs carefully. For this woman, Mr. Lin has reason to believe that there is no one in this world who knows Ye Zhaoqing better than him.

He didn't believe that Ye Zhaoqing would jump off the cliff.

"Since that's the case, don't you hurry up and take people to search in the woods? They won't run far!" The next moment, Mr. Lin said with a gloomy face.

"Yes! Young Master!" Everyone agreed, and more than half of them turned around and ran towards the jungle, only a few people stayed to protect Young Master Lin.

Mr. Lin did not move after giving his instructions, but looked straight into the depths of the cliff.

In the dark night, the cliff is like a monster with its huge mouth open, smiling ferociously, trying to swallow people up.Mr. Lin's men's legs were a little weak when they saw this scene, and finally one of them couldn't help but said: "Young master, what are you looking at? Let's go!"

Mr. Lin didn't answer his words, but just stared at the bottom of the cliff intently. After a long time, he turned his head.

"Let's go!"

"Yes! Young Master!" The rest of the people were overjoyed when they heard the words.

Mr. Lin turned his head and left there. For some reason, he suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart, as if, once he left, he would never be able to find that eccentric woman again.

How is this possible?The next moment, he laughed out loud, with a look of certainty in his eyes.

What a joke, it's just one Ye Zhaoqing, even if there are ten more, he can still find it!

Finally, the lit torch gradually disappeared behind the jungle.

After an unknown amount of time, a low voice came from fifty feet down the cliff.

"You just threw me down like that, aren't you afraid of falling to my death?"

Murong Shen stretched out a finger and opened Liu'er's dumb acupoint, glanced at her, and said slowly: "No, I have silk around your waist, which is extremely tough."

Hearing this, Ye Zhaoqing lowered his head in disbelief, and indeed saw a thin and transparent thread tied on the left side of the waist, if you don't look carefully, you really can't see it.

Murong Shen raised his hand, and the silver thread suddenly retracted into his hand, twisted into a coil.

Ye Zhaoqing watched this scene, speechless for a long time.

"Master Taifu, what did you go for? Why did you go there for so long? Our lady waited so hard!" But at this moment, Liu'er who was on the side burst into tears, and said while crying: " Are you planning to leave us?"

"If you want to lure the people from above down and kill your young lady, you can just cry." Murong Shen frowned immediately, and said coldly, "My people won't arrive until tomorrow morning at the latest."

Liu'er was frightened by his cold tone and words, choked and dared not speak again.

Ye Zhaoqing was a little angry: "Why are you scaring her? I haven't asked you yet, what have you been doing under the cliff for so long?"

Murong Jin didn't answer when she heard the words, but just quietly glanced at Ye Zhaoqing, then reached into her bosom, and took out a handful of green weeds from her bosom.

Of course, it is not a weed, but Dendrobium officinale, which is drawn in Ye Zhaoqing's medical book.

"You actually found it? You found so many?" Ye Zhaoqing was taken aback, stretched out his hand to take those herbs, looked down carefully, and suddenly smiled on his face: " That’s right, this is it, with it, His Highness the Crown Prince’s illness will no longer need to worry.”

"Is this herb so miraculous?" Liu'er leaned over to take a look, with some doubts, she really didn't want to believe that the unsurprising weeds in Ye Zhaoqing's hands could cure diseases that the imperial physicians in the capital could not do anything about.

"Don't underestimate it." Ye Zhaoqing smiled slightly when he heard the words, and said, "This is much better than ginseng and deer antler. His Royal Highness can only use it if he wants to nourish his body."

"Oh." Liu'er replied half-understanding when she heard the words.

Ye Zhaoqing carefully inspected the roots of those herbs, and then put them aside.

"Cuckoo..." But at this moment, someone's stomach growled inappropriately.
