Chapter 279 Falling off the Cliff (Longji Xiaoxian +)

The next day, Princess Dezhao's mansion.

"You missed the shot again." On the martial arts arena, the fifth princess turned her head and looked at Cheng Wei in puzzlement.

Cheng Wei smiled apologetically: "I didn't hold it steady just now, I'll come again."

The fifth princess suddenly reached out and held down her bow: "I won't come."

Cheng Wei took back the ox horn bow embarrassingly.

"Let's ride horses to play in the mountains." The fifth princess suddenly turned her head.

"what?"

The fifth princess approached Cheng Wei, and suddenly raised her hand to tug on her cheek: "You haven't smiled for a few days, you're in a good mood when you go out for a run."

Cheng Wei lowered his eyes, flapped his eyelashes a few times, and nodded: "Okay."

Because they were riding horses and shooting arrows, they were already neatly dressed, so naturally they didn't need to change their clothes, and went into the mountain with some necessities.

As soon as they entered the mountain, the two rode their horses and galloped.Their mounts were all good horses selected from thousands of miles, and they quickly threw the maids and guards who followed them far away.

The scenery on both sides receded quickly, and the whistling wind filled my ears. When the big black horse came to a slow stop, Cheng Wei's back was already drenched with sweat, and he felt extraordinarily happy and bright.

Xu knew that the master wanted to vent, the big black horse ran very fast, surpassing the fifth princess's bay red horse by a large margin.

After a while, the bay red horse came up with the fifth princess.

The fifth princess reined in the reins and stopped beside Cheng Wei.

She didn't speak in a hurry, but squinted her eyes to face the wind, and when she felt happy, she turned her head and asked Cheng Wei: "Do you feel good?"

Cheng Wei hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "It's much better."

The fifth princess smiled, rode on the horse and looked into the distance, and murmured: "When I am not happy, I will ride a horse into the mountains and run like this, and then I will not be sad."

Cheng Wei followed the fifth princess and looked into the distance.

She had to admit that what the fifth princess said made sense. After venting her heartily, facing the turbulent conditions of nature, her personal troubles became less important.

At least, right now, it's not that important.

"That's it." The taciturn fifth princess put her hands on her lips, took a deep breath, and shouted "Ah".

The echo gradually died down, she turned her head and called Cheng Wei: "You try too."

Cheng Wei imitated the fifth princess and yelled loudly, the big black horse snorted a few times in disgust, which made the two of them laugh together.

"Listen, it's all echoes." The fifth princess closed her eyes, then opened them again suddenly, "No, I seem to hear a child crying."

Cheng Wei followed the direction of the wind and listened, and sure enough, there was a clear and crisp child's voice.

The two looked at each other, and looked in the direction of the cry in tacit understanding.

When they found that place, the two of them were stunned.

An old tree protruded from the side of the cliff, and a five or six-year-old child was lying on it, hugging the trunk tightly and crying.

"Help me, sister save me—" Seeing Cheng Wei and the two approaching, the young boy screamed, and it was obvious that he couldn't hold on for much longer.

Cheng Wei turned pale, and asked the fifth princess: "Isn't this the royal hunting ground? How could there be such a young child?"

The fifth princess walked towards the edge of the cliff and said, "Maybe it's a hunter who quietly came to hunt in the nearby village."

It is precisely because this is a royal hunting ground that ordinary people are prohibited from entering, the prey is extraordinarily abundant, and it will naturally attract some courageous people to come in and poach.

"Little brother, where is your adult?" The fifth princess asked while approaching the young boy.

Cheng Wei was surprised to find that the normally taciturn Fifth Princess treated her children very gently.

Under the reassurance of the fifth princess, the young boy gradually stopped crying, and said intermittently: "Father took me to catch golden pheasants, and my father flew down from here. I want to find my father, but I am so afraid—"

"Sure enough, they came here to poach." The fifth princess explained to Cheng Wei in a low voice, "We don't have golden pheasants here at all. We specially got them from the south for the sake of a good fortune in hunting, and they are only found in this mountain."

Cheng Wei listened to the fifth princess's explanation, and saw that she was getting closer and closer to the cliff, so he hurriedly grabbed her: "Fifth princess, what are you doing?"

The fifth princess pointed at the child, and said naturally, "Of course I want to save him."

Cheng Wei glanced at the stretching old tree, felt startled, swallowed and said, "Let's wait for the guards to come over, it's too dangerous."

The fifth princess pointed at the young boy: "Look at that child, he will soon lose his grip and wait until the guards arrive. It doesn't matter, I'll crawl over carefully and just pull him over."

Cheng Wei held on to the fifth princess's sleeve tightly, obviously terrified to death, but still said with difficulty: "I, I'll go."

Meeting the hesitant eyes of the fifth princess, Cheng Wei explained: "I am lighter than you."

Being lighter than the fifth princess is only a very small reason, and more importantly, Cheng Wei understands that something happened to the fifth princess, and she is afraid that she will be buried with her. Rather than that, it is better to let her try.

The fifth princess shook her head.

Cheng Wei persuaded again: "Princess Wu, you are plumper than me, what if the old tree can't support you and the young child? At that time, not only will the child not be saved, but you will also be in danger, then the gain outweighs the loss .I used to climb trees when I was a child, there will be no problem, you just catch the child later."

At least to persuade the fifth princess, Cheng Wei breathed a sigh of relief quietly, and tried to leave, but was bitten by the hem of the clothes by the big black horse.

"Okay, Ah Hei, let me go."

The big black horse shook its head with Cheng Weiyi in its mouth.

Cheng Wei reached out and patted the big black horse's head: "Don't be self-willed, I'm saving people."

The big black horse rubbed its head against the back of Cheng Wei's hand.

Cheng Wei was inexplicably sad, lowered his head and rubbed his cheek against the big black horse, then pulled out the hem of his clothes with all his strength, and walked towards the edge of the cliff step by step.

The toddler no longer had the strength to cry anymore, and looked at Cheng Wei with wide eyes without blinking.

Cheng Wei hugged the old tree and approached him cautiously.

There was a click, the sound of a wooden branch breaking, and the young boy fell down.

Cheng Wei was shocked, subconsciously rushed forward, reached out and just grabbed the fingertips of the young boy.

"Little brother, hold on to my hand and crawl over slowly." She hugged the old tree tightly with one hand, and tried her best to reach the young child with the other.

"I can't catch it, sister, I'm going to lose my strength..."

The young boy was only five or six years old, with a frightened expression on his face, looking at Cheng Wei as if looking at the only ray of light in a dark world.

Cheng Wei took a deep breath, moved forward again, and finally held the young boy's hand tightly.

She couldn't help smiling, and carefully pulled the young boy towards her.

At this time, the clicking sound came again, and when Cheng Wei came to her senses, she could only watch the old tree fall to the bottom of the cliff, and what she could do subconsciously was to slam the young boy up. Throw it to the fifth princess.

The cry of the child, the exclamation of the fifth princess, and the long hiss of the big black horse all disappeared in his ears, Cheng Wei had no time to think about anything, and fell straight down.
