Memoirs of the Emperor of Heaven

Chapter 72 Natural Disaster

Rong Xin saw some clues, changed his mind, and pretended to be flustered.

"Oh, the fifth brother and the concubine Li are not in the room. Could it be that we have encountered a thief? Let's go to the postmaster and ask when they left and whether anyone has seen them."

If someone proves that the two went out together last night and haven't returned yet, even if there is no evidence of an affair, as long as this rumor reaches the ears of the emperor, they will lose their skin if they don't die.

Rong Le and Rong Xuan said in unison: "No!"

The two looked at each other, and it was Rong Xuan who spoke first.

"Third brother, the air in the mountains is fresh. I think the fifth brother got up early and went out for morning exercises. There is no need to make such a fuss about small things. As for Li Fei, Le'er, she told you last night where she is going this morning. ?”

His father entrusted Concubine Li to him for protection, if such a scandal happened, his job would be considered a failure, not only would he not get any benefits, but he would definitely be scolded by his father when he returned.Regardless of the ambiguity between Rong Qi and Concubine Li, whether they really went out on a date and didn't return all night, he must suppress this matter today.

Seeing Rong Xuan looking at her, Rong Le understood.

"Yes, Brother Er Huang asked me this question. I remembered it. Concubine Li mentioned it to me before going to bed last night. She saw a small stream not far from the station. I wanted to go there to pick a few wild flowers, and asked me if I wanted to go with her. It must be because I got up late in the morning, and she went alone.”

While Rong Le made up lies to cover up for Rong Qi, his heart felt like a knife.

Brother Qi clearly said that the relationship between him and Concubine Li was not what she thought, but the two disappeared at the same time, why?

Seeing that both Rong Xuan and Rong Le were trying to cover up the matter, Rong Xin knew that it would be useless to say more, so he just snorted and let it go.

An'er on the side said in a daze, "Are there really many rare wild flowers beside that stream? I want to see it too...ah!"

It turned out that Nian Xia who was next to her pinched her arm.

At this time, Li Fei's delicate voice came from not far away, like a yellow warbler coming out of the valley:

"Oh, what a coincidence that you are all here. Look at the wild flowers I just picked, aren't they beautiful?"

Concubine Li was holding a large bouquet of flowers, and Pingping Tingting walked over, stuffed one for each of them, and stuffed two for Rong Le, and said with a smile:

"I asked you to pick flowers with me this morning. If you refuse, do you regret it? I'll give you one more flower."

Rong Le was very convinced. Concubine Li happened to overhear the lie she made up at the door, and it was enough to make up the lie, but she was able to get such a large bunch of flowers, which is amazing.

Unwillingly, Rong Xin asked: "Where is Fifth Brother, is he not with you?"

Concubine Li's surprised expression was as innocent as a girl who hadn't left the pavilion: "Your Highness Fifth, I don't know, did he go out too?"

"How many brothers are here?" Rong Qi's voice came from the door.

Rongle knew that his next sentence would be - "I went out for morning exercise just now."

"I just came back after going out for morning exercises in the morning. I was really rude for not being able to greet the emperor brothers."

Rong Xin couldn't wait to jump out.

"Fifth Brother, Brother Second Emperor and I fought hard against bears in front, but you live comfortably here."

Rong Qi took a look at Rong Xin in surprise. It is not surprising that he seized every opportunity to sarcastically satirize him, but what did he just say, fighting a bear?

Rong Qi looked at Rong Xuan calmly: "It's really hard for you two brothers, I don't know if the bear is fierce, are you injured?"

Rong Xuan said: "The bear was so huge that we didn't dare to fight it too much. After only a few rounds, we retreated. It must have been too exhausting. The three of us spent the night in the woods."

Rong Qi looked at Ye Fan: "Xiao Fan, is that so?"

Ye Fan nodded and said, "Yes, master, that bear is so big, we ran as hard as we could, so we didn't get caught."

Rong Qi said lightly: "It seems that you are lucky, and finally saved yourself from danger."

Rong Xin may brag, but Rong Xuan will definitely not tell lies.Their memories have been modified by illusion.

This apprentice whom he grew up with has also learned to lie to him.

Now that everyone is here, everyone goes to the room to pack their things and prepare to go again.

Rong Qi was cleaning the package, when he looked up, he saw Rong Le was at the door of his room.

"Le'er, what do you want from me?"

Rong Le said hesitantly: "Brother Qi, didn't you go out with Concubine Li last night?"

Rong Qi pondered for a while.He didn't want to tell lies to Rongle, but he couldn't tell the truth to Rongle.

"Le'er, I'll explain this to you later, okay?"

Rong Le bit her lip, in her opinion, it was a default.

"Brother Qi, I only ask you for one thing. Concubine Li is the imperial father's favorite concubine. Once the relationship between you and her is revealed, the consequences will be disastrous. Brother Erhuang and I can cover it up for you for a while, but we can't cover it up forever. That's all in the hunting ground, when you get back to the palace, you must be careful."

Rong Qi was a little dazed, Rong Le turned and left, as if he suddenly remembered something, turned around and said:

"If, brother Qi, if you need my help, tell me."

Rong Qi let out a long sigh, what a silly boy.

He thought of Kuang Lu who was by his side wholeheartedly and preparing for his and Jin Mi's wedding. Was it the same mood as Rong Le's at this time?

Now that he promised Suzaku to help her find out the identity of Emperor Yuan'an, there must be many difficulties and dangers ahead, and it is a good thing for Rong Le to stay away from him.Since she misunderstood, let's make the mistake first.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

A group of people packed up and went out, and after a while, they came to the side of a canyon.The canyon seems to come from a mountain split by a magic axe. Its huge "V"-shaped cracks make the mountains on both sides steeper, with jagged rocks. The widest part is about two feet, and several people can walk side by side. The narrowest part is only three feet, just enough for one person to pass through.

When Rong Xuan, who led the team, arrived in front of the canyon, he couldn't help hesitating. Seeing that he didn't move forward, Rong Le asked, "Second Brother, why don't you leave?"

Rong Xuan said: "Crossing through this canyon is indeed the shortest distance, but the front of the canyon is wide enough for horses to travel, but you have to abandon your horse and walk on foot, and wait until you reach the next post station before changing horses. That's all, there have been showers these few days, if there is a landslide, it will be extremely dangerous."

Rong Qi asked from the side: "If you make a detour, how long will it take?"

Rong Xuan said: "If you pass through the canyon, it only takes one or two hours to pass. If you go around this mountain, it will take a day and a night."

Everyone couldn't help but looked at each other, Rong Xin said loudly: "The spring hunting is held every year. I have never heard of anyone having an accident in this canyon. It's only an hour or two. Our luck will be so bad."

After finishing speaking, he jumped off his horse and walked into the canyon first, followed by Rong Xuan. Everyone thought that what he said made sense, so they all abandoned their horses and walked together in twos and threes.

After walking for about half an hour, seeing the gap getting narrower and narrower, Rong Xuan said: "Everyone line up now, follow me, I will go to the front, Empress Li Fei and An'er will follow me, fifth younger brother, Rong Le Nian Xia and Nian Xia are in the back, followed by Ye Fan and the third younger brother."

Everyone lined up one by one.The line of sight in the cracks is narrow. When looking up at the blue sky from the canyon, you can only see a line, but you can't see the end at all. You can only walk with the people in front. After walking for a long time, you will feel chest tightness and shortness of breath.

After walking for about half an hour, we could gradually see the distant exit, and everyone couldn't help but smile.Concubine Li moaned and said: "It's almost here at last, my feet hurt like hell." She looked forward and said in surprise:

"Hey, why are there a group of black crows here?"

Rong Xuan's voice was trembling: "Everyone, run, it's a landslide!"

In an instant, the landslides and the ground cracked, and the sand and boulders rushed down from the mountain. The mountain slid and fell rapidly.

Rong Xuan shouted loudly: "Third brother, Ye Fan, take them away quickly!"

Rong Xin hugged his head and ran away, not caring about others, while running, he sighed that he was really lucky, because he was cut off, so now he can run in the first place.

Ye Fan thought that the master would protect Rong Le anyway, so he pulled Nian Xia up and ran forward.

"Follow me, don't get lost!"

Looking at each other, Nian Xia's eyes flickered for a moment, and she tightly held the boy's hands that were reaching out to her. By the way, she glanced at Rong Le who was behind her. You Rong Qi is protecting her, she should be fine.

As for Concubine Rongxuanli and An'er... they can only ask for their own blessings.

Rong Le pulled Rong Qi up and followed closely, no matter how fast he ran in the narrow valley gap, Rong Le was in a hurry, tripped over a stone and fell to the ground.

"Brother Qi, be careful!"

Rong Le, who fell to the ground, saw a big stone falling from the sky, heading towards Rong Qi, and couldn't help being shocked.

Rong Qi looked up to the sky, and was about to perform a magic spell to bounce the stone away, when he suddenly felt that someone reached out and pulled him, and immediately pressed him under him.

It turned out that Rong Le protected him with his body.Afraid that he would be hurt, she even hugged his head tightly with her hands.

Feeling the delicate tenderness coming from his body, there is a numbness that seems to pierce into the bone marrow, and indulgence is now at a critical juncture, Rong Qi's heart is still swaying, and there is a trace of undue reverie.

He tried his best to calm himself down, but now he was crushed by Rong Le, and it was too late to cast a spell to bounce the stone away, so he had to hug her and roll to the side.

"boom!"

The stone that was about to hit Rongle's head was a little off, but it still hit her back.

Rong Qi drew out his hand and drew a barrier to block the surrounding stone flow. Seeing that Rong Le seemed to have passed out, he felt very anxious.

"Le'er, wake up, wake up!"

He checked Rongle's pulse, but fortunately, he should only be in a temporary coma.

Rong Qi looked around, everyone was only focused on running for their lives, no one should pay attention to them, this place is too dangerous to stay for a long time, so he silently recited a teleportation spell, and took Rong Le out of the canyon in a flash.

Rong Xin, who ran at the front, was the first to run out of the canyon. He patted his chest and said, "It's dangerous, it's dangerous." He looked around to see if other people had come out.

Just now he disregarded the life and death of everyone and just ran for his own life, but he still feels a little guilty when he thinks about it, just now he turned his head and was taken aback by Rong Qi who suddenly appeared in front of him.

"You, when did you come out?"

He actually wanted to say, "How could you run ahead of me?"

Rong Qi looked down at Rong Le's injury.

"Come here and help me carry Le'er to the grass next to me."

The place where Rongle is lying now is hard and full of broken stones. Although she is unconscious and can't feel it now, it must be very uncomfortable.

"you--"

Rong Xin wanted to say, you brat was so gutsy today, how dare you talk to me like that?As soon as he raised his head, he met Rong Qi's eyes. For some reason, he felt himself shorter.

Those eyes were as cold as a thousand-year-old glacier, full of ruthless majesty... simply, even scarier than the father's.

How could Rong Qi have such eyes?

As if he couldn't control his hands and feet, he obediently walked forward according to Rong Qi's instructions, and carried Rong Le to the grass next to him together.

After a while, Rong Xin came to his senses, the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong, and he spat under the nearby tree.

"Today, I actually listened to that tuberculosis ghost named Rong Qi. I'm simply obsessed! No, I must make up for this loss!"
