When Ji Lingxiao heard the news and rode from the capital to the bottom of the cliff, the sun was already very bright.
He gritted his teeth and sat on the horse. Among the crowds in the mountains, he suddenly saw the figure of Mo Jiecheng.
Ji Lingxiao slowly scanned his body.
Mo Jiecheng's originally black robe was now dusty and looked stained with dirt.
His eyes were black and blue, his tightly pursed lips were bloodless, and the corners of his mouth were dry to the point of cracking.
Mo Jiecheng didn't speak, and his whole body exuded a kind of extreme loneliness.
It felt like losing my soul.
He was holding the sword in his hand tightly, looking for traces of Ji Wanrong everywhere. His hands were covered with blood, and he did everything by himself.
Even when Chongzhou saw his dry lips and wanted to hand the water bag to his mouth, he ignored it and continued to search every corner.
Ji Lingxiao stared at Mo Jiecheng's face with no expression.
He closed his eyes slightly to cover up the coldness in his eyes, and turned over and dismounted without saying a word.
Ji Lingxiao arrived too quickly. His legs had not fully returned to normal and he was originally unable to ride a horse.
It wasn't until his legs touched the ground that Ji Lingxiao felt a sharp pain in his knees.
Ji Lingxiao stumbled on his feet and almost fell to the ground.
Chongzhou saw Ji Lingxiao's figure from a distance, and Mo Jiecheng beside him couldn't care less. He hurriedly threw away the water bag in his hand and ran towards Ji Lingxiao's side.
Mo Jiecheng was startled, stopped moving his hands, and turned around. What he saw was Chong Zhou supporting Ji Lingxiao obsequiously.
Looking at Ji Lingxiao from a distance, Mo Jiecheng suddenly felt that his steps became heavier, and his eyes even felt a little hot.
His Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he stood there for a long time before walking slowly in the direction of Ji Lingxiao.
"Brother-in-law, Rong'er has not been found yet. I have increased my troops to search for him. I believe he will be fine."
Mo Jiecheng called him low and walked closer.
Ji Lingxiao discovered that Mo Jiecheng's face was full of exhaustion, his expression was a little frightened and confused, and his eyes were bloodshot.
This was the first time Ji Lingxiao saw Mo Jiecheng's devastated look.
But he didn't respond to him.
Ji Lingxiao looked at Chongzhou with a dull gaze, and there was a rare coldness in his voice: "After searching for so long, you still haven't found anyone?"
"It's cold at night, Rong'er can't wait that long."
Chongzhou glanced at Mo Jiecheng, then looked at Ji Lingxiao's stern face.
The master had determined from the beginning that the princess would not die, and Ji Lingxiao's words now also showed that he believed that the princess would be fine.
"We searched most of the bottom of the mountain and found the hairpin that the princess had dropped. We also found a strange piece of cloth, but we haven't found the princess's yet... The master confirmed that the princess is fine."
Ji Lingxiao listened, and his tense body relaxed for a moment.
He looked up at the tens of thousands of feet high mountains around him. The steep mountains surrounded the sky into a circle.
He didn't know why, but he always felt that there was a voice calling him from somewhere.
"Have you looked for her at the cliff? Ask someone to prepare a rope. I'm going to look for her on the top."
Chongzhou was slightly startled. He did not ask anyone to climb to the top of the mountain to find the princess. Because the mountain was vertical and steep, and there were no caves on it, it was impossible for the princess to be able to keep climbing on the cliff.
But Ji Lingxiao insisted on this.
"Brother-in-law, your legs and feet are inconvenient and you have not recovered completely. It is not suitable to go up the mountain at this moment. It is too dangerous. I will ask someone to prepare a rope and go up the mountain myself."
Mo Jiecheng also followed Ji Lingxiao's line of sight and looked up at the steep cliff.
He was panicking and hesitant. After Ji Wanrong jumped down so resolutely, it was as if his heart was torn out, leaving a black hole behind.
But when Ji Lingxiao heard this, he suddenly laughed out loud.
His eyes were locked tightly on Mo Jiecheng's face, with a sarcastic smile on his lips: "What's waiting for me up there is my biological sister."
"The prince may not value her, but I regard her as a treasure. She is just a pair of legs. If Rong'er likes her, my life will be his."
When Mo Jiecheng heard his words, "The prince may not value her," there was a buzzing sound in his ears.
He opened his mouth quickly, wanting to say something, but suddenly nothing came out.
After Ji Lingxiao said this, he didn't want to look at Mojie City anymore.
He clenched his hands into fists and was too stubborn to touch his sore knees. Instead, he directly ordered the guards around him to get a long enough rope.
Ji Lingxiao tied a rope from his body and slowly fell down from the top of the mountain.
Mo Jiecheng and many hidden guards followed him.
Even though Ji Lingxiao had been sitting in a wheelchair for a long time, his martial arts skills were not wasted, and he quickly landed halfway up the mountain.
There is a giant tree halfway up the mountain, with a green crown growing upward.
When Ji Lingxiao saw the tree from a distance, his face was filled with joy, thinking that Ji Wanrong had fallen into the tree.
He sped up, climbed the rope with both hands, tapped the cliff with his feet, and landed quickly.
But when he saw the scene on the tree, his eyes suddenly shrank.
Ji Wanrong's body was penetrated from back to front by a sharp tree trunk. His lower abdomen was already dripping with blood. His face was pale, his eyes were tightly closed, his limbs were downward, hanging at strange angles, and his hands seemed to have been dislocated. look like.
Rong'er...he almost didn't recognize his sister.
Ji Lingxiao froze, his hand slipped and he almost fell off the rope.
Mo Jiecheng pointed his toes to the ground, fell quickly, and grabbed Ji Lingxiao's wrist.
But when he lowered his head and saw Ji Lingxiao's pale face, following his line of sight, his breathing stopped for a moment.
Ji Lingxiao coldly shook off Mo Jiecheng's hand and swung his other hand in the direction where Ji Wanrong was shrinking.
The closer he got to Ji Wanrong, the clearer he could see her appearance at this moment. When Ji Lingxiao saw that Ji Wanrong's long eyelashes were covered with frost, they looked lifeless.
His whole body was shaking.
Ji Lingxiao wanted to reach out and hold Ji Wanrong's hand, but hesitated and retracted his hand.
He was afraid, he was afraid of touching the cold temperature.
Mo Jiecheng followed closely behind and swung in the direction of Ji Lingxiao. When he saw what was in front of him clearly, his heart trembled and the blood in his body instantly ran cold.
Why did Ji Wanrong become like this? !
He never expected that Ji Wanrong would be pale, covered in blood, and look as cold as a corpse!
Mo Jiecheng felt endless fear in his heart, and he felt waves of dull pain in his heart.
He couldn't even restrain himself from the urge to hold her tightly in his arms.
"Ji Wanrong, Ji Wanrong!"
He wanted to move forward, but Ji Lingxiao stopped him silently.
Ji Lingxiao slowly closed his eyes, then lowered his eyes and glanced at the sword on Mo Jiecheng's waist, "Please also ask Princess Han to help the villain's sister cut off the branches with your sword."
Mo Jiecheng also learned some first aid methods in the military camp. After listening to Ji Lingxiao's words, he immediately understood. He picked up the sword in his hand and slashed at the branch under Ji Wanrong.
The branch had already been soaked with Ji Wanrong's blood.
Ji Lingxiao immediately took Ji Wanrong into his arms. He carefully avoided Ji Wanrong's wounds and held her in his arms.
A strong smell of blood poured into the tip of his nose, and Ji Lingxiao felt that Ji Wanrong in his arms today was particularly heavy.
He felt like he was holding a piece of ice in his arms.
"Rong'er, hold on, it's my brother who's late, please wait for me, okay?"
Ji Lingxiao murmured lowly.
