MTL - Restart the Protagonist’s Way of Survival-Chapter 112 hanging bottom

"Your Highness, I couldn't find it. It's too dark outside." Xie Zhi came in from outside.

Yang Dejin looked at her wet hair and shoulders, and handed her a flannel handkerchief: "It's okay, it's the same when I look for it tomorrow."

Yang Dejin only had twenty specially made short arrows, and she recycled them out of fear of wasting them.

Xie Zhi: "Your Highness, you should go back to Chengguang Palace first."

Yang Dejin: "What else do you want to do?"

"Well, talk to Ji Zhuilu about something."

Yang Dejin snorted, didn't ask anything, just said: "I'll wait for you in the tent, hurry up."

"okay."

//

It started to rain at the monastery, and the female family members and some officials returned to their temporary residences one after another. Some generals and soldiers were left, drenched in the light rain, sitting by the campfire and roasting raw food.

"Lieutenant Ji, come here."

Ji Zhuilu was about to take a bite of the roasted leg of lamb, which was charred on the outside but tender on the inside, but was interrupted by Xie Zhi, who raised his head in doubt: "Xie Shilang, what do you want me to do?"

Xie Zhi: "Of course there is something to do."

The clearing, management, and maintenance of Shanglin Garden are the responsibility of the Ministry of War, the Supervisor of Shanglin Garden, and the City Defense Battalion respectively.

Minister of the Ministry of War is Qin Guang's idiot, Xie Zhi doesn't want to get in touch with him, and she is not familiar with Shanglin Yuan Jian Cheng, so she finds Ji Zhuilu.

"Boss, Xie Shilang is looking for you, so go quickly." Ji Zhuilu's subscript said while grabbing the leg of lamb from him, "Bring it here!"

Ji Zhuilu: "..." Not long after he sat down, he didn't even take a mouthful of hot food...

Although he was reluctant, he still got up and followed Xie Zhi to the viewing platform.

"What's the matter?"

Xie Zhi looked at the sergeant of the city defense battalion who was drinking and guessing, "I really forgot myself."

Ji Zhuilu didn't understand, so he said, "Forgive me for being stupid, what exactly is Xie Shilang trying to say?"

"Your majesty and empress are both missing, do you know?"

"Missing?" Ji Zhuilu was taken aback, then grinned, "Nonsense, how is this possible?"

"They were assassinated."

When Ji Zhuilu heard the words, his expression changed, and he quickly made a silent gesture: "Xie Shilang, don't talk nonsense, there is no possibility of assassins in Shanglin Garden."

"You really think so?" Xie Zhi folded his arms, "There are traces of a fight over the Wolong Mountain Pass. The Queen doesn't have many personal guards. She and the Queen Mother haven't come back yet."

"It's raining heavily in the mountains, so they will definitely walk slower."

"It's time to come back, but now there's no news." Xie Zhi analyzed calmly, "It's night and it's still raining heavily. Even if there is no assassin, there is no guarantee that other accidents will not happen."

"..."

"Lieutenant Ji's city defense battalion controls the order of the paddock. If something happens to the Empress during her hunting trip, how will you explain it?"

Ji Zhuilu was indeed a little uneasy when she said that. Just as he was about to say something, a soldier on duty ran over, hugged the two of them, and then whispered something to Ji Zhuilu.

Xie Zhi saw his pupils dilated and his expression became serious, as if he had heard something shocking.

Ji Zhuilu waved the soldier back, calmed down his shock and panic, and looked at Xie Zhi: "You are right, the people under him did find out..."

"Lieutenant Ji, your news came too slowly."

Ji Zhuilu couldn't refute, so he had to ask again: "Then how did Minister Xie know?"

"My people have found the arrowhead that was lost at Wolong Pass, and now they are already hunting down the assassin."

"As expected of being the closest staff member of His Royal Highness Prince Yu, the news is really fast and accurate." Ji Zhuilu admired Xie Zhi's well-informed.

Xie Zhi: "I didn't come to listen to your praise.

"Shanglin Yuanjian is only responsible for the management of mountains, forests, vegetation, flowers, birds and animals on weekdays. Sheng Jia was assassinated while hunting, his whereabouts are unknown, and his life and death are unknown. In terms of dereliction of duty, the Ministry of War and your city defense battalion bear the brunt.

"I can't trust Qin Shangshu, so I have to come to you."

"I'll send someone to look for it now!" Ji Zhuilu became more and more frightened as he thought about it, and immediately wanted to call his subordinates.

"Come back." Xie Zhi said calmly, "If you bring troops into the paddock now, not only will it arouse everyone's panic, but it may also alarm people with ulterior motives hiding in the dark."

"Then you can't just wait?!"

"I'm telling you not to act with fanfare."

"What's the meaning?"

Xie Zhi looked around and said, "Go, go to your camp."

Ji Zhuilu spread out a map of Shanglin Garden on the felt, and pressed the four corners with a teacup.

"To the east of the paddock are mountains and forests, to the west are hills and grasslands, to the north are cliffs, to the south are densely covered with lakes and swamps, large and small palaces are scattered, and the temple is located in the center."

Ji Zhuilu propped his hands on the table, frowning fiercely: "This range is too wide..."

"Yeah, do you know where to find it?"

Ji Zhuilu shook his head.

"Wolong Mountain Pass is already located in the deep mountains and old forests. Now that it is raining heavily over there and it is night, they will definitely not go to more remote places."

"Hmm... indeed." Ji Zhuilu took it seriously.

"The cliffs in the north are too dangerous. There are few places to hide in the west, and the terrain in the south is difficult to travel."

"Uh..." Ji Zhuilu frowned and looked at her, "Then according to you, they can't go anywhere?"

"Not really." Xie Zhi shook his head, "If they get away with it by chance, the killers will not let it go.

"If they want to get rid of the pursuit, they can only ask someone for help.

"So they may go to places with a lot of people."

Ji Zhuilu: "You mean, they will either go back to the monastery or hide in the palace?"

Xie Zhi shook his head again.

Ji Zhuilu clicked his lips, and his eyebrows were almost twisted together: "Oh, I'm so anxious, what the **** is it?!"

"I know you are in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry." Xie Zhi said, "Because we will think so, and the killers will think so too."

"can you?"

"Of course. There will be assassins in the paddock, either insiders or rebels.

"Both your majesty and the queen are not extraordinary people, they must be able to think of this level.

"So they won't appear in everyone's sight rashly, at least not before dawn.

"If I were them, I would choose to go south."

Ji Zhuilu: "To the south? But didn't you say that the south is densely covered with lakes and swamps, making it difficult to travel?"

Xie Zhi: "It is difficult for those who are fleeing, but it is also the same for those who are chasing and killing, and there are so many killers that they are more easily constrained by the terrain."

Ji Zhuilu suddenly realized: "Oh—Xie Shilang, you are so smart."

Xie Zhi smiled politely, what is this?

So Ji Zhuilu is not valued, he is simple-minded and has well-developed limbs, which is too mediocre.

"The people in the observation center can't be disturbed, so the soldiers of the city defense battalion staying behind can't move. Captain Ji can only send someone to inform the guards on duty in the paddock to search south."

"I'll give you an order right away." Ji Zhuilu nodded, "Xie Shilang, thanks to you, I can still make up for it, otherwise... I really don't know what to do."

Xie Zhi patted him on the shoulder: "I can only help you so much."

"Thank you, I am very grateful." Ji Zhuilu gave her a grand military officer's salute, and then went to do his own work.

Unfortunately, Bai Qingyang brought a wounded man with him, so it was not realistic to use the wetland to throw off the pursuers. Xie Zhi probably didn't expect that Li Zishou was hit by an arrow, and they couldn't run very far.

The heavy rain in the mountains both helped and added chaos. Under the washing of the rain, the traces they left will be easily washed away, including footsteps, blood and smell. But it will also bring many troubles, such as drenching people thoroughly, and the road under their feet will become slippery.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it was endless. It was obvious that the disadvantages outweighed the advantages.

To make matters worse, Bai Qingyang seemed to have faintly heard thunder.

But compared to this, she was more worried about Li Zifu's wound. In this case, it was easy to be infected.

"I need to find a place to shelter from the rain." Bai Qingyang put all his strength into his hands, and said to the wounded person who was leaning on him, "Please, hold on."

"Ok…"

After walking for a long time, the rain did not decrease, but luckily we did not meet anyone along the way.

A cliff appeared in front of it, and the rock face stood obliquely, forming an angle with the horizontal ground, leaving a large dry space.

There is no such thing as a perfect road.

The two sat slumped at the bottom of the cliff and did not speak for a long time. They were tired and hungry, and their wet clothes clung to their bodies, causing chills.

Bai Qingyang glanced at Li Zichou who was next to him. Even though the two were very close, they couldn't see each other clearly in the dark.

"Give me your sword." Bai Qingyang said.

"What? What do you want my sword for?"

"you give me first."

"..." Strangely, Li Zichou didn't move.

Bai Qingyang thought that she couldn't move because of the injury, so he groped by himself and pulled out the saber from Li Zifu's waist.

The Hu suit on Bai Qingyang's body is also a kind of riding and archery suit. Shang Yisi specially improved the shape to make it fit her figure better. She likes it very much, but at this moment, she cut off a part that was not wet He folded the transparent cloth and said to Li Zichou:

"The clothes are off."

"Ah??" Li Zichou suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, "Why, why?"

Bai Qingyang: "I'll wrap your wound, otherwise you'll keep bleeding."

"Oh…"

Li Zifu moved, and took off slowly in order not to hurt his wound. Bai Qingyang thought it was slow, so without further ado, he leaned over to start.

The injured person was a little helpless, because the vision was not very good, Bai Qingyang got very close, so close that she could smell the rain on her body.

The person who did the work seemed to have six clean roots, and cautiously and boldly untied the neckline of the opponent's arrow robe, opening it all the way to the waist.

The cold fingertips accidentally touched the hot skin, causing someone to shudder for a moment, and bit their lips suspiciously.

Here we go again, this weird feeling...

"hiss…"

Bai Qingyang paused for a moment, then asked nervously: "Did I hurt you?"

"It should be that the cloth stuck to the wound..."

"Sorry, I'll take it easy."

"Ok…"

The arrow cannot stay in the flesh and blood for a long time, and it will cause secondary damage if you are not careful. But in this situation, Bai Qingyang couldn't take it out, so he could only wrap around Li Zifu's shoulders to prevent excessive blood loss.

After a brief treatment, he put on his clothes again.

Li Zishou: "I didn't expect that I would have such an encounter..." There was something novel and unbelievable in his tone.

Bai Qingyang frowned: "Don't make it sound like you're enjoying it."

Li Zichou smiled: "That's not the case." She is not a masochist.

But indeed, she who lived in the era of order must never have imagined that one day she would be assassinated and forced to hide in the deep mountains and old forests.

How embarrassing.

"You pulled my sword out just now. To be honest, I was taken aback."

"why?"

Li Zishou was silent again, and after a while, he said in a joking tone, "It feels like... you're going to stab it into my chest..."

After hearing this, Bai Qingyang's eyelashes trembled slightly, and the shock in his eyes couldn't be added.

The author has something to say:

Bai Qingyang: I took off my clothes.

Li Zishou (pupil quake): Huh? ? This wilderness is too much? ? ?

Yang Dejin (reproaching loudly): It's almost done, don't take yourself too seriously!

Bai Qingyang (looks away): ...

she wants to...

Somebody knock me out fast forward to November.
