Stranger and Chen in the Palace

The next day, the group was about to return to Yucheng Pass, but not long after they left, Ling Yichen noticed something was wrong below, and even Feng and the others also noticed it.

Ling Yichen quickly grabbed Xue Zimo and hid behind a boulder. He saw that there were densely packed human heads below him. When Xue Zimo saw it clearly, he almost cried out in shock, it was the Xianbei army!

Ling Yichen narrowed his eyes, Lian Feng said: "Your Highness, what should we do?"

"Do you still remember the shortcut we found when we explored the road a few days ago?" Ling Yichen said calmly, "Let's go from there."

Lian Feng nodded, although that road is very dangerous, but there is no other way now, the entire Yuezhang Mountain is now surrounded by the Xianbei army, they only have dozens of people, it is impossible to break out.

Xue Zimo didn't know if the shortcut Ling Yichen mentioned could escape the danger, and now he had to take one step at a time.

Ling Yichen remained silent, pulled Xue Zimo up and ran up the mountain.

As the Yuezhang Mountain went up, the road became steeper. Dozens of people walked on it, and their whereabouts could not be hidden at all. They were soon discovered by the Xianbei people below, who immediately stepped up their pursuit.

A mighty army of tens of thousands.

Chasing souls, killing lives!

After running for a while, Xue Zimo looked back, and there were more and more Xianbei troops chasing after him, covering a large area in darkness, and he couldn't help but panic, could they really escape?

Feeling that Xue Zimo had suddenly slowed down, Ling Yichen turned his head and said, "I'll carry you on my back!"

After all, Xue Zimo was a literati, and his physical strength could not compare with him and those hidden guards.

"No, let's go quickly..." Xue Zimo shook his head. If Ling Yichen were to carry him on his back, it would undoubtedly slow down Ling Yichen's speed.

Seeing Xue Zimo's insistence, Ling Yichen said distressedly: "Then let me know when you can't hold on."

At this moment, their lives are indeed hanging by a thread. If they take a step slower, their danger will be closer!

Xue Zimo didn't speak at all, and ran up directly pulling Ling Yichen.

Everyone fled at full speed for half an hour, and Xue Zimo felt more and more strenuous. At this moment, he was already holding on, his frostbitten legs were burning like fire, but the Xianbei army behind him was not thrown away, and he was very anxious .

Seeing that Xue Zimo was out of breath and dripping with cold sweat, Ling Yichen's heart ached so much that he couldn't help but carry him on his back.

Xue Zimo had no choice but to let him go, he really couldn't run anymore, seeing the sweat dripping from Ling Yichen's forehead, he really hated himself for being his burden!

The speed of carrying a person on his back undoubtedly slowed down a lot. After a few quarters of an hour, the distance between Ling Yichen and the Xianbei army that was chasing after him began to gradually narrow.

Xue Zimo knew that everyone would die if this went on, so he couldn't help but said anxiously: "Your Highness, please let me go, you go first!"

Ling Yichen was already exhausted, but when he heard this, he suddenly gasped for breath, gritted his teeth and ran forward desperately, and the speed was much faster for a while.After a while, Xue Zimo heard his resolute voice: "Unless I die—"

Xue Zimo's eyes became slightly moist, and he hugged Ling Yichen tightly. He turned his head and looked at the Xianbei army chasing after him. If God destined them not to escape this catastrophe, then let them die together...

Finally, they ran to the top of the peak, but there was no road around, it was all cliffs, and there was a mountain on the opposite side.

Xue Zimo recognized that the Yucheng Pass was beyond that mountain, did Ling Yichen think so? !

Sure enough, he saw that all the hidden guards had gathered enough internal strength, and they nailed the rope in their hands into the opposite cliff.

These ropes are specially made by the dark guards, they are full of toughness, and have excellent load-bearing capacity. Both ends of the ropes are embedded with metal nails, and they are specially used for climbing cliffs.

At this time, the Xianbei army behind had already chased him. Seeing that there were only a few hundred meters away, Ling Yichen quickly tied the end of the rope around Xue Zimo's waist.

Xue Zimo looked down the cliff, his face couldn't help turning pale, the cliff was so high that there was no bottom to it, he would be crushed to pieces if he fell down!

"Don't be afraid." Ling Yichen said softly.

Xue Zimo nodded. Although he was afraid of heights since he was a child, he couldn't care less now.

The hidden guards tied one end of the rope around their waists one after another, and flew towards the opposite cliff.

Xue Zimo didn't know martial arts, so it would be easy to hurt himself by jumping like this, so Ling Yichen didn't use the rope, he pulled the rope that bound Xue Zimo with one hand, hugged his waist with the other, and flew down.

The moment Xue Zimo flew out, Xue Zimo felt his heart was about to jump out of his chest. He hugged Ling Yichen's neck tightly, and closed his eyes tightly, not daring to open them...

Almost in an instant, they reached the opposite side.

Fortunately, the cliff was not very smooth, and they began to climb up with the aid of the uneven stones.And at this moment, the Xianbei army also chased to the peak.

Suddenly, Ling Yichen felt a chill down his spine.

He suddenly turned around, only to be surprised to see hundreds of arrows flying towards him at a meteor-like speed.

A feather arrow shot straight at Xue Zimo, and it was already in front of him. He was grabbing the rope with one hand and hugging Xue Zimo with the other. He didn't have time to think about it. Ling Yichen jumped up, and the arrow instantly sank into his back, and he let out a muffled groan.

Seeing that their master was injured, Lian Feng, Lian Huang and others quickly flew over to block the arrows for him and Xue Zimo.

Xue Zimo also found out that Ling Yichen blocked an arrow for him, so he couldn't help being anxious: "Chen, how are you?"

The feather arrow shot into Ling Yichen's left shoulder, and the severe pain made his arm holding the rope start to tremble slightly. Ling Yichen forced a smile, "It's okay, let's go up quickly."

Xue Zimo knew that he was holding on. Although he was anxious, he had no choice but to hug Ling Yichen's waist with one hand and start climbing up with all his strength with the other.

After bursts of arrow rain hit the sky, Ling Yichen suddenly found out that the other party had started to build a ladder, and couldn't help but feel a little cold. Could they really escape this calamity?

By the time they climbed to the top of the cliff, more than half of the Xianbei army's ladders had been built.

Xue Zimo was worried about Ling Yichen's injury and wanted to check his wound, but Ling Yichen stopped him and said, "Mo, you heard me say that the Xianbei people will come after you immediately, you go back first, this place is very close to Yucheng Pass."

"I won't leave, your injury..." Xue Zimo shook his head worriedly.

Hearing this, Ling Yichen slashed off the arrow on his back with a backhand sword, and said proudly: "A mere arrow can do nothing to me!"

He kept his back to Xue Zimo, and he didn't dare let him check his wound, because he found that the arrow had been poisoned. Although he had Qingjiaoxiang in his hand, the Qingjiaoxiang needed vinegar to melt and detoxify it. effect.

It's really a great irony. Could it be that today he is going to be poisoned to death with the green fragrance that can cure all poisons in the world?

With this delay, the Xianbei army's ladder was almost ready.

Ling Yichen couldn't care about anything else, he stuffed the Qing Jiaoxiang into Xue Zimo's hands, and said without doubt: "Mo, you go quickly, I will bring someone to stop them, you go back to rescue the soldiers, so we still have a glimmer of hope!"

Xue Zimo was struggling in his heart, he didn't want to leave, but Ling Yichen was right, there were too few people on his side, and he was no match for those Xianbei people, but he couldn't leave Ling Yichen behind...

Seeing that Xue Zimo was still hesitating, and seeing that the Xianbei people were about to chase after him, Lianhuang knelt down and said anxiously to Ling Yichen: "Your Highness, please go with Mr. Xue, I will stay and hold them back!"

Ling Yichen smiled wryly, why doesn't he want to leave?

But this arrow is poisonous, the more he moves, the faster the poison will attack, I am afraid that he will die from the poison before reaching Yucheng Pass.If he dies on the way, who will protect Xue Zimo...

Ling Yichen shook his head: "I've made up my mind, Mo, you go!" After speaking, he turned his head and ordered Lian Feng, "You and Lian Huang escort Mr. Xue back, and make sure he is safe!"

Xue Zimo was even more anxious when he heard that, and took his hand: "I'll go, let Lianfeng and Lianhuang stay and help you!"

"No!" Ling Yichen said decisively, his gaze was firmer than ever before.He knew that he was going to die here today, and the only thing he wanted to do now was to protect Xue Zimo...

At this moment, the Xianbei people's ladder had been set up, hundreds of Xianbei people rushed over first, and the dark guards stepped forward to fight them.

Xue Zimo knew that no one could change Ling Yichen's stubbornness, and it would be even more dangerous to delay, so he had no choice but to take Lianfeng and Lianhuang away...

Just a few meters away, Ling Yichen stopped him, and Xue Zimo turned his head to look, only to see him smiling at him.

Because Ling Yichen was standing on the edge of the cliff against the light, Xue Zimo couldn't see his expression clearly, and the morning sun made his shadow very long.Xue Zimo suddenly felt that his handsome figure looked a bit lonely, as if he had been waiting for a lifetime of desolation...

Immediately afterwards, Ling Yichen mouth-shaped to him, this time Xue Zimo saw clearly, his heart suddenly trembled, he turned around and ran down the mountain quickly.

What Ling Yichen said to him just now was:

I love you……
