Queen's Development

Chapter 123 Climbing

After a while, Yuzhi walked forward with Han Qing on her back.

After about a cup of tea, Yuzhi stopped and stared blankly at the cliff in front of her.

Han Qing saw it too.

He was about to speak to comfort Yuzhi, but Yuzhi turned around and walked back to the other end of the valley.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, she still hadn't reached the end of the valley. Yuzhi was sweating on her face and back, but she still walked forward with Han Qing on her back.

Han Qing's nose lingered with the body fragrance of Jade Gardenia, which was a very pleasant smell, like the fragrance of wintersweet.

Looking at the crystal sweat on the back of Yuzhi's snow-white neck, Han Qing couldn't help but laugh.

He made an "ouch" on purpose.

Yu Zhi was walking and looking at the steepness of the hill ahead, when she heard Han Qing's painful voice, she hurriedly stopped and said, "What's wrong?"

Han Qing hissed again, and said, "The calf hurts so much!"

Yuzhi hurriedly walked to a grass field where the sun could shine, and gently put Han Qing down.

Han Qing's injured leg was stretched out on the grass, and the other leg was curled up, looking up at Yuzhi: "You are tired too, take a rest!"

"I'll try to climb the hill ahead," Yuzhi shook her head, "It's not too cold now that the sun is shining, I'm afraid it will be dark, it's too cold at night, we'll freeze to death here!"

When Han Qing heard Yuzhi say "we", he felt warm for some reason, he smiled slightly, and said intentionally: "You don't mean to leave me here and run away by yourself?"

Yuzhi looked at him seriously: "You saved my life, I will not abandon you!"

She stared into Han Qing's eyes, reached out and patted Han Qing's shoulder: "Don't worry!"

With a smile in Han Qing's eyes, he gave a soft "hmm".

In his environment, he has always been the one who calls the shots, but trapped in this valley with Yuzhi, he finds that he doesn't have to think about anything, as Yuzhi will think about it and do it.

It was a wonderful feeling, the first time he met such a caring woman as Yu Zhi.

Yuzhi comforted Han Qing seriously, and then sat there to rest.

Han Qing leaned against the cliff and sat on the grass, when he heard a "goo" suddenly, he looked up at Yuzhi.

Yuzhi raised her eyes to look at Han Qing, and blinked her big eyes: "I'm hungry. Let's go up quickly, lest I be so hungry that I kill you and eat you!"

Han Qing: "..."

He reached out to untie the pouch at his waist, and poured out all the contents, a few small golden beans, a plate of silver notes and a long square wrapped in oiled paper.

Han Qing handed the cube to Yuzhi, and carefully put the rest back one by one.

Yuzhi took it over and opened it, and found that it was a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake. She couldn't help being surprised and happy, and hurriedly wiped her hands on her clothes, then broke two pieces of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, kept one for herself, and handed the other to Han Qing .

Han Qing raised his hand to show Yuzhi.

Seeing that his hands were dirty and stained with a lot of mud, Yuzhi handed that piece of osmanthus cake to Han Qing's mouth, and then began to eat her own piece in small bites.

The sweet-scented osmanthus cake was fragrant and sweet, and it melted in the mouth. Yuzhi finished it in just three bites.

She asked Han Qing eagerly: "Where did you buy this sweet-scented osmanthus cake? I'll buy some after I go out!"

Han Qing bowed his head and said, "The dim sum chef in my house made it."

Yuzhi said "ah" and stopped talking - if it was sold in the dim sum shop outside, she could still try it; if it was made by the dim sum chef in Han Qing's mansion, she would not be able to taste it again.

She knew very well that Han Qing was Lin Lun's uncle and had a hostile relationship with Lin Jia.

Han Qing glanced at Yuzhi, but said nothing.

He used to love talking nonsense, but in front of Yuzhi, he really didn't want to talk nonsense and make promises.

After Yuzhi finished eating the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, she got up, lifted her long skirt and tucked it around her waist, found a slightly slower mountain wall, and climbed up.

Han Qing sat there, looking up at Yuzhi climbing up in the setting sun, feeling sour in his heart, unspeakable.

Yuzhi tried her best to climb up.

Now that the sun is setting, it is already a bit cold. Waiting for the sun to set for a while, it will be even colder in this valley.

If she couldn't get out, she and Han Qing would have to freeze to death here.

Her hands are very delicate, and after climbing for a while, a blister formed.

Yuzhi suffered several injuries when she fell down, and now she was in burning pain.

Han Qing watched Yuzhi struggling to climb up the steep mountain wall. Her shadow became smaller and smaller, and gradually disappeared.

He lowered his head, rolled up his trouser legs to look at the wound on his leg, tried to move, but it hurt terribly when he moved, he closed his eyes, and leaned against the mountain wall.

When Han Qing seemed to be asleep, he suddenly heard a "plop". He opened his eyes and found that Yu Zhi had just jumped down.

There was a lot of dust on her fair face, only her eyes were as bright as the morning stars: "After climbing a bit, there are many toon trees growing on the mountain wall, after I climbed the toon trees just now, there is a forest above! "

Han Qing smiled and said: "You go on your own, and call someone to save me after you get up!"

The mountain wall is so steep, how could Yuzhi get him up there?
Yu Zhi kept silent, looked at Han Qing's dirty and torn brocade robe, and had an idea in her heart: "Give me your brocade robe!"

Han Qing took off the brocade robe and gave it to Yuzhi without hesitation.

Sitting on the grass, Yuzhi tore the brocade robe into strips, and tied them up again, forming a long rope.

She smiled and picked it up for Han Qing to see: "I'll tie you on my back, and I'll climb up with you on my back!"

Han Qing's nose was sore, and a layer of mist formed in his eyes. He lowered his head and said, "You should be able to go out alone. If I go with you, we're afraid we'll all die."

Yuzhi smiled: "It's getting dark, if we don't go out, I'm afraid we'll freeze to death in this valley, when your subordinates come over, they probably will find two..."

Seeing Han Qing's pale face and dark eyes, Yuzhi stopped talking and squatted down with her back to Han Qing: "Come on!"

When Han Qing lay on her body, Yuzhi picked up the cloth rope, tied Han Qing to her body, and began to climb up.

Accompanied by Minister of War Liang Yongming, Privy Envoy Wang Yizhen and Ye Chunshan, Lin Jia arrived at the Gyeonggi military camp.

He first assembled the soldiers and gave a lecture.

After the lecture, Lin Jia sent Liang Yongming and Wang Yizhen away, and began to call all the lieutenants and generals in the barracks for a meeting.

Just after the meeting, Lin Jia was talking with the two generals when Ah Qing came in and said, "My lord, Ah Lan—"

Upon hearing this, Lin Jia glanced at the two generals present and smiled slightly.

The two generals understood immediately, got up and left.

Only then did Lin Jia ask Ah Lan who came in with Ah Qing: "What happened?"

Alan recounted what happened today, and then said: "My lord, the servant tracked it down and found that the carriage that robbed Aunt Yu fell into a valley not far from here!"

Lin Jia's heart seemed to have fallen into an ice spring, he tried his best to stabilize himself, and told Ah Qing: "Go and ask Ye Chunshan to gather the troops, we will set off immediately!"

He also told Ah Cheng: "Go and prepare torches and strong hemp rope!"

After A Cheng went out, Lin Jia told A Lan again: "A Lan leads the way!"

After about a cup of tea, under the guidance of Alan, Lin Jia rushed out of the barracks with Ye Chunshan and a hundred guards on horseback, heading towards the valley.

As night fell slowly, the surrounding temperature dropped suddenly, and even Han Qing shivered from the cold.

Yu Zhi tried her best to climb with Han Qing on her back.

When she climbed to the lower toon tree with Han Qing on her back, Yuzhi was already exhausted.

She stepped on the Chinese toon tree and lay down on the stone wall for a temporary rest.

Han Qing put his hands on the stone wall, trying his best to relieve Yuzhi's burden.

After resting for a while, Yuzhi climbed the toon tree growing in the crevices of the rocks above and continued to climb.

The blood blisters on her hands were all worn out, and every time she used her hands, Yuzhi was trembling with pain, but she knew that if she wanted to survive, she had to climb up.

After climbing another section, Han Qing couldn't help it anymore: "Untie me, and find someone to rescue me after you go up!"

He is a selfish person, but at this moment, he would rather freeze to death than drag Yuzhi down.

At this time, Yuzhi was already holding a Chinese toon tree with one hand, feeling that Han Qing was talking too much, so she reached out and patted Han Qing's butt: "Besides, I'll beat you!"

Han Qing: "..."

Using both hands, Yuzhi finally climbed to a recess on the mountain wall, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Lin Jia's voice came from above: "Yuzhi! Yuzhi—"

Yuzhi burst into tears with joy when she heard the words, she poked her head out and said loudly: "Lin Jia, I'm here! I'm here!"

Han Qing didn't speak.

He could hear clearly that Yuzhi was calling Lin Jia's name just now!
Lin Jia heard Yuzhi's voice and told Ye Chunshan, "Drop the rope down!"

When he came up with Yu Zhi, Ye Chunshan wondered, "My lord, why is Aunt Yu—"

Lin Jia was looking down, but when she heard this, she immediately looked at Ye Chunshan: "What's wrong?"

Ye Chunshan: "It feels so heavy!"

Lin Jia bit her lower lip with her snow-white teeth, and without speaking, she patted Ye Chunshan's hand, signaling Ye Chunshan to hurry up.
