Qi Jue explained patiently: "The cliff is steep, and the process of climbing requires a lot of arm strength. If you lose strength while climbing, you will be shattered if you fall."
"I am also a martial arts practitioner after all. I don't have enough arm strength, so I can use my internal strength to make up for it. Besides, Your Highness, you are still injured. In comparison, I can climb faster than you."
Upon hearing this, Feiyun and Feiyu became anxious, "Your Highness is injured? Is it serious?"
"Small injury."
Qi Jue replied casually. Seeing that Yan Mingzhu insisted on joining him, he didn't say anything more and nodded in agreement.
"Follow me. If you run out of energy, tell me at any time."
Yan Mingzhu made a clear gesture, and the group began to climb the cliff.
It was still daytime when we climbed, but by the time we climbed near the gold mine, it was already dark.
Before the last step, a slender jade-like hand stretched out in front of her.
Yan Mingzhu looked up and met Qi Jue's deep eyes.
Putting one of his hands into Qi Jue's hand, Yan Mingzhu fell to the ground smoothly with the man's pulling force.
"Your Highness, shall we cover it from behind?"
Feiyun and Feiyu were already gearing up. This shabby gold mine caused them to be separated from His Highness for several days. If something really happened to His Highness, they would blow up this shabby place directly!
"There are guards all around here. It seems that the vigilance is quite high. If just a few of us surround us, we will be discovered if we don't get inside."
Even though it was already dark, there were people guarding the area for several miles near the gold mine, making it difficult to outflank him.
Qi Jue looked at her, "Do you have a better idea?"
Yan Mingzhu smiled and took out a jade bottle from her arms, "Two miles away from the gold mine, there is a stream to the southwest. This river flows through the gold mine from the southwest. All the drinking water in the gold mine comes from
this."
Qi Jue understood instantly, "You want to poison the water? Catch them all?"
"Your Highness is so smart. Don't worry, this is not a deadly poison. After drinking it, it will at most cause diarrhea and cause flying clouds and rain. I will leave this task to you."
Feiyu immediately took it and said, "Don't worry, Miss Yan, I promise to complete the task!"
Feiyun chased after Feiyu, "Why did you take over the task from Miss Yan without waiting for His Highness to speak?"
"Are you stupid? Our Highness will definitely agree to anything Miss Yan says unconditionally. Do we need to do this one more time and ask one more time?"
Although Feiyun wanted to refute, but instead thought of the way Qi Jue looked at Yan Mingzhu, he couldn't say anything for a moment.
Yan Mingzhu patted the ashes on a stone, sat down, and took out a sesame seed cake from her arms.
"I picked it up when I came out of the Immortal Valley. Although it was cold, it tasted good. Let's take half of it each, shall we?"
This girl said that one person would eat half the food, but her eyes were always fixed on the sesame cakes.
After climbing all the way up, the man's physical strength is almost exhausted, let alone the woman.
"I'm not hungry, you can eat."
But Yan Mingzhu still broke it in half and forced one half into Qi Jue's hand.
"We share blessings and share hardships. How can I let you watch me eat alone? Eat quickly. It's a strenuous job at night."
Qi Jue smiled but did not refuse.
Soon, Yan Mingzhu finished half of the cake. As soon as she licked the corner of her mouth, Qi Jue handed over the other half.
"Your Highness, didn't I say I would give it to you?"
Qi Jue stuffed it directly into her mouth, "If you don't stare at the sesame cakes when you speak, I may believe that you are really generous."
"Are you kidding me for being stingy?"
"I don't dare."
Yan Mingzhu snorted, thinking that he admitted his mistake quickly.
After biting the sesame seed cake and finishing this half, Feiyun and Feiyu also came back.
Just as Yan Mingzhu was about to say something, Qi Jue suddenly stretched out a hand and gently touched the corner of her mouth with his fingertips.
"You always leave residue in the corner of your mouth when you eat. Do you plan to save it for a midnight snack?"
Yan Mingzhu instinctively stretched out her tongue and licked it, and the tip of her tongue just brushed Qi Jue's fingertips before he could retract them.
Qi Jue's eyes dimmed, but Yan Mingzhu didn't notice at all.
But this scene was watched by Feiyun and Feiyu who had just returned.
"Where did our Highness's mysophobia... go?"
Wiping someone else's mouth is something that even Concubine Zhuang would not have the honor to do, okay?
Feiyu gave him a look of contempt that he didn't understand, "Do you know what tenderness is? In the face of love, all mysophobia will disappear!"
It's over, it's over, their Highness has completely fallen this time!
Yan Mingzhu didn't hear the conversation between Feiyun and Feiyu, but she just felt that they looked at her a little strangely when they came over.
But she didn't take it to heart. While waiting, she yawned a little sleepily.
"When you feel sleepy, lean on me and sleep for a while. When you are ready to move, I will call you again."
Yan Mingzhu rubbed the corners of her eyes, "No, I can hold on..."
Before she could finish speaking, Qi Jue raised his hand and held the back of her head. Before she could react, he directly pressed her head on his shoulder.
"Go to sleep."
Because she was so close, the man's deep voice penetrated into her ears, causing her heartbeat to beat strangely fast.
In the spirit of relying on free human-shaped pillows, Yan Mingzhu didn't think too much, and adjusted to a more comfortable position, closing her eyes and sleeping.
Feiyun and Feiyu, who stood aside and looked extremely redundant: "..."
We haven’t seen each other for just a few days, is His Highness already so unscrupulous in his double standards? He just barely posted on his forehead: This is my woman, please keep strangers away!
Because she was in the wild, Yan Mingzhu did not sleep too deeply. When there was movement, she opened her eyes at the same time.
Just as he stood up, Qi Jue suddenly took a step closer.
He raised his hand to straighten her hair, which was a little messy from sleeping.
Yan Mingzhu looked aside instinctively. Feiyun and Feiyu raised their heads in unison, indicating that they saw nothing!
His Highness, numb and numb, fell in love, is no longer the cold, aloof, dust-free, His Highness Dingbei King who can only watch from a distance but not play with him!
With the effect of laxatives, it can be said that it is smooth all the way in.
Yan Mingzhu looked left and right as if visiting.
"It's built like a cottage. It seems they regard this gold mine as their own hideout."
Yes, it does look like a fortified village. There are transfer points on the left and right sides, and there is a transfer point every distance as you walk in.
The house is made of wood, and there are many wooden houses at first glance. It seems that there are many people mining here.
"You...who are you? The person coming..."
A man who was exhausted saw Qi Jue and the others, and when he was about to call someone, a sword was held to his neck.
"Take us to see your leader. If you don't obey me, you will be killed immediately!"
