Rebirth: The flatterer prince I raised couldn't be so clingy

Before he finished speaking, Gu Qingzhi took out a bundle of ropes, made a noose, and threw it upwards.

Coincidentally, such a smooth rock actually had a narrow crack, and in the crack grew a sapling of medium thickness. The noose thrown by Gu Qingzhi fell right on the branch of the tree.

"Wait for me here."

After confirming that the rope was safe and secure, she turned around and looked at Feng Zhanye, and the young man nodded slightly at her.

"Azhi, be careful."

"it is good."

Gu Qingzhi responded and climbed up the rope nimbly.

Because of her thin figure, the small tree was shaky and could barely support her weight.

Gao Ye didn't dare to breathe, for fear that the tree would suddenly break and hurt Gu Qingzhi.

However, for Gu Qingzhi, who has many years of experience living in the wild, his worries may be unnecessary.

She climbed steadily and soon reached the tree. She took out the Lanzhou and stuck it in the crevice of the rock. She turned over and stepped firmly on the tree trunk.

There is still a long distance from here to the top, but with the gravel in the cracks, it is easier to climb up.

Gu Qingzhi found a solid piece of gravel to stand on, untied the noose on the tree trunk, and threw it up again.

The noose was attached to a thicker tree above the rock.

Stepping on the gravel and climbing up by grabbing the rope, she soon reached the top of the rock.

Watching the long rope being dropped from above, Gu Qingzhi stuck her head out from above and gestured to the two of them to let them go up, and then Feng Zhanye and Gao Ye started to move.

Seeing Gu Qingzhi climbing so easily, Gao Ye thought he could do it too. It was not until he actually hung himself on the rope that he could not help but curse inwardly.

"Prince Duan, where does this guard of yours come from? I think he should be paid quite a bit per month, right?"

Feng Zhanye was concentrating on climbing up quickly and had no time to pay attention to him.

Feeling bored, Gao Ye opened his mouth but stopped talking. Although the two of them could not climb as fast as Gu Qingzhi, they at least climbed up successfully.

Gu Qingzhi helped Feng Zhanye to get up and reminded him mercilessly: "Aye, you still need to practice your physical skills more."

Feng Zhanye touched his nose awkwardly and said "oh" softly.

"I say...you two...are just busy talking...have you...forgot something?"

Intermittent sounds came from under their feet. They looked down and saw Gao Ye clinging to the rope, panting.

He was only a short distance away from them, but after climbing for so long, he was almost exhausted and was now preparing to rest.

At this moment, the rope hanging on the rock wall suddenly made a slight "crackling" sound. Before Gao Ye could react, he felt the rope shook and suddenly broke.

He gasped and hurriedly shouted "Help".

Unexpectedly, this shout made the rope break even faster. After a few slight sounds, only a rope was left supporting his entire body weight.

Gao Ye's heart almost jumped out of his throat.

Gu Qingzhi hurried back to the rope and saw that the rope was being worn by the sharp rock wall as he swayed, and it seemed that the last strand of the rope could not hold on.

She was quick to grab the broken part.

"Don't shake."

Gu Qingzhi pulled him up with all her strength, but Gao Ye was tall and strong, not as thin as Feng Zhanye used to be, so it was difficult for Gu Qingzhi to pull him up with one hand.

"I...I don't want to either!" Gao Ye was hanging on the rope, completely unable to use any strength.

Feng Zhanye rushed over to help when he saw this, and they both worked together to pull him up.

"Thank you so much, I never thought that there would be a day when I would have to rely on friends to go out."

Gao Ye brushed the dust off his clothes and blurted out.

Seeing that no one paid attention to him for a long time, he knew that he was the one holding them back, and couldn't help but nudge Feng Zhan Ye with his elbow.

"Hey! Now that we've been through life and death together, we should be considered half friends, right?"

Feng Zhanye glanced at him without answering, and followed Gu Qingzhi forward.

In the second half, Gu Qingzhi didn't even light the fire. The three of them groped their way up in the dark and soon reached the top of the mountain. Further up, there were patrols of the imperial guards.

Faint footsteps could be heard among the trees. The sounds were neat and regular, probably indicating that a group of imperial guards were passing by.

The three of them hid behind a tree and saw two teams of imperial guards carrying palace lanterns passing by each other not far away, and someone on a distant attic was also patrolling the forest.

"What's next?"

Gao Ye turned and asked Gu Qingzhi.

"I'll lead them away, and you guys take the opportunity to sneak in."

Gu Qingzhi put on the mask, jumped up, and disappeared into the darkness in an instant.

Gu Qingzhi's movements were swift and silent. She was like a night cat, moving lightly among the woods.

Her goal was to divert the attention of the imperial guards and create an opportunity for Feng Zhanye and Gao Ye to enter the courtyard where Concubine De was.

Feng Zhanye and Gao Ye were closely observing her movements behind a tree. They knew that once Gu Qingzhi was discovered, the entire plan would fail.

However, every step Gu Qingzhi took was as precise as if she had known it in advance. She bypassed the patrolling imperial guards, jumped onto the roof, and easily entered the courtyard.

She went straight into the back hall in the center of the courtyard, picked up a small incense burner and held it in her arms. After waiting for a moment, she heard footsteps not far away.

She held the incense burner in her arms and waited for the footsteps to approach. The moment she was sure someone was coming this way, she rushed out.

The sudden appearance of a black shadow startled the Taoist priest. Gu Qingzhi dropped the incense burner, climbed onto the roof and fled.

The Taoist priest did not disappoint her and started shouting immediately.

"Someone come! A thief has broken in! Catch the thief!"

Hearing a chaotic noise coming from afar, mixed with shouts of "Catch thief", Feng Zhanye and Gao Ye knew that it was probably Gu Qingzhi who successfully attracted the attention of the Taoist priests and the imperial guards in the back mountain.

The imperial guards where they were all noticed something was wrong and quickly gathered towards the courtyard where the commotion had occurred. Soon, no one was left there.

"You are a guard with some skills!"

Although he couldn't help but worry about the situation on Azhi's side, Feng Zhanye knew that it was time for them to take action.

The two of them walked all the way to a place not far from Concubine De's courtyard, and happened to meet a Taoist priest walking alone on the road.

Feng Zhanye rushed out from the darkness without saying a word, and imitated Gu Qingzhi's method to knock the Taoist priest down with one hand.

He stripped off his Taoist robe and put it on himself, then ran hurriedly towards the two Taoists who were guarding Concubine De.

"Oh no, oh no, two brothers, there's a thief in the front yard, go and take a look!"

I thought the two would leave after hearing this, but who would have thought that they would look at Feng Zhanye strangely.

"Who are you to sit down as a disciple? Don't you know that our Black Snake Chief is only responsible for guarding this courtyard and is not allowed to leave under any circumstances?"

It turned out that these two Taoists were actually the Black Snake Head in disguise. This time, there was no need to hold back.

Feng Zhanye's eyes suddenly became sharp. He drew the sword from his waist and stabbed a man in the heart.

The other man obviously did not expect him to suddenly attack and quickly took out a knife.

Feng Zhanye was planning to practice what Gu Qingzhi had taught him, and suddenly disappeared into the darkness using the moonlight.

A living person suddenly disappeared from his sight, and the black snake head was immediately thrown into disarray. He did not dare to rush into the darkness and had to slash with his knife.

In an instant, a cold light flashed from the darkness, and before he could react, his neck was cut.

After taking care of the guards at the gate, Feng Zhanye and Gao Ye entered the yard together.

"aunt!"

Through the dilapidated window, Gao Ye recognized Concubine De at a glance, opened the door and rushed in.
