Chapter 198: Mountain Sinking
As the four of them were talking, the mountain began to shake again.
Jiang Yue stood on the steps, her body falling backwards uncontrollably, and she screamed subconsciously.
Before she could close her eyes, the next second, Prince Shou's slender arms hugged her again.
With a princess hug, she used her lightness skills to fly to the open space outside.
Seeing that his master had run away, Lu Bai quickly grabbed Xiao Zhu's collar and followed closely.
He didn't notice the resentful look in Xiaozhu's eyes below.
Jiang Yue didn't dare open her eyes until her feet touched the ground again.
Prince Shou put it down, and people were coming and going here.
Many civilians and officials' families fled again.
A large square was built here, which is usually used for people to exchange supplies.
The square is now empty and all the tables and benches have been removed.
The place was bustling with people from both countries.
"Be careful." Prince Shou carefully put the person down, and the vibration continued.
It is now around four in the morning and there is some light around.
The four of them gathered together, and Lu Er, along with other secret guards, stood firmly around the three of them to protect them from being bumped by the crowd.
Just when Jiang Yue nervously pulled Shou Wang's sleeve with one hand and held Xiao Zhu with the other.
All I heard was a loud rumbling sound coming from the other side.
Everyone turned around and looked.
It is just two mountains away from their main peak.
There is a mountain with an altitude of about 2,000 meters, which is slowly sinking right under everyone's eyes!
The mountain sank, and the dark green forest gradually sank with it.
The birds screamed and wailed collectively, and flew away in groups in fear, running to various mountain peaks to avoid the terrifying landslide.
"That...that mountain...sunk?!!"
Everyone was suddenly shocked and panicked.
Jiang Yue stared at this scene that was like the end of the world with wide eyes, his face was pale and his mind was blank.
Extreme fear made her hands and feet cold.
None of the countless blockbusters I have seen in modern times are as shocking as the scenes before my eyes.
I felt like all the blood in my body was frozen.
It was not until she felt the warmth on her hand that she looked down at her right hand numbly.
The man's white and broad palm tightly wrapped around her slender and smooth little hand.
The blue veins on the back of his hand are just right, making the man's hands look slender and bony.
Prince Shou looked down at the pale-faced little girl, and felt distressed. "I'm here, don't be afraid."
Jiang Yue's restless heart miraculously calmed down.
After slowing down her breathing, she nodded vigorously towards Prince Shou.
"Yeah! I'm not afraid!"
"Princess, don't be afraid. Your subordinates will protect you and the prince until their death!" Lu Er promised solemnly.
Lu Bai suddenly said, "Don't be afraid, Xiaozhu. I will protect you."
The scene that had just moved Jiang Yue suddenly became hilarious because of these words.
Lu Er, the second-class secret guard, took the time to look at Lu Bai teasingly.
The latter then realized what he had said.
Looking at Xiaozhu's round eyes that seem to be spitting fire.
He turned his head guiltily and looked away, not looking at Jiang Yue and Xiao Zhu.
Xiao Zhu felt angry and embarrassed, especially since there were so many people around at that moment, and Lu Bai didn't dare to look at her after he finished speaking.
He could only secretly pinch the back of Lu Bai's hand and twist it hard.
Lu Bai was sweating on his forehead due to the pain. He looked down at the little girl's cunning and blushing face and refused to pull his hand away.
"Look! The second mountain!!"
Jiang Yue followed the crowd and looked over, only to see the second-to-last mountain near the main peak rumbling and sinking.
It was now brighter and I could see clearly.
This mountain is sinking much slower than the first one, but it is still sinking visibly! !
Looking forward, the top of the first mountain is no longer visible.
Only a patch of dark green treetops remained standing above the water, and the green leaves underwater set off the surging flood.
When Emperor Mingde and Emperor Yongnian arrived at the square, they saw this horrifying scene.
"Your Majesty, this..." Concubine Liang subconsciously grabbed Emperor Mingde's sleeve out of fear, her voice trembling obviously.
Emperor Mingde held her hand tightly. The emperor who usually remained calm even in the face of danger now looked slightly pale.
"Prince Rong."
The man with a stern face stared straight at that place with vicious eyes.
So much so that he didn't hear Emperor Qingmingde calling him.
Emperor Mingde didn't see anyone, so he turned to look at Prince Rong.
But she was shocked by the fierceness in his eyes.
I can't help but emphasize my tone, "Prince Rong!"
Seeing that his prince was in an unusual mood, Mo Yu hurriedly pulled Prince Rong's sleeve.
The man quickly suppressed the emotion in his eyes and returned to his expressionless face.
"Father."
Emperor Mingde looked at him meaningfully, and Concubine Liang beside him held her breath nervously.
I don’t know what’s going on with my own son?
Although the moon was beautiful, it was not enough to make Prince Rong so infatuated.
"Take people to evacuate the people and go upstairs."
Prince Rong and his men left quickly.
Next, the common people and the families of the ministers continued to climb up in an orderly manner under the command of the soldiers.
Prince Shou took Jiang Yue and followed the team upwards under the escort of the secret guards.
Lu Bai pulled Xiao Zhu from behind and followed the crowd on their journey with their heads covered.
Because time was tight and it was a sudden move.
The people no longer cared whether there were poisonous substances or poisonous weeds.
Wear a mask and roll up your trouser legs and sleeves.
They all rushed up one after another.
The Jinyiwei looked at the crowd that scattered like birds and simply stopped clearing the way ahead.
Protecting the royal families of the two countries as they moved to higher ground.
Jiang Yue didn't know how long she had been climbing until she felt her legs and feet aching, and then she realized it was because she was in a hurry to go out.
I didn't wrap my legs either, and now my calves are a little swollen.
"Hiss!" It was so painful that Jiang Yue couldn't help but groan.
Prince Shou, who was holding her, immediately stopped, turned around and pulled her to sit on a stone nearby.
"Yue'er, what's wrong? Is your leg hurting?"
Jiang Yue saw him saying that and was about to pinch her calf.
He quickly reached out to stop her, "It's okay, I was just in a hurry to get out, so I didn't wrap my leg. It's a little swollen now, but it's okay, let's go."
Just as she was about to stand up, her arm was grabbed forcefully by Prince Shou, who looked at her with a frown and disapproval.
"No! This mountain is covered with thorns. If there are poisonous snakes or insects biting you, it will be no joke."
As he spoke, he squatted down, turned his head and looked straight at Jiang Yue, "Come up, I'll carry you."
Jiang Yue widened her eyes. How could this be possible?
"No, no, no, no need! You're not feeling well yourself, how can you carry me? I can continue walking by myself."
After saying that, he took a hurried step forward, but unexpectedly, a big hand pressed down on his back.
Before she could react, her legs were forcibly lifted up by Prince Shou.
The sudden feeling of weightlessness made her subconsciously hug the man's neck tightly.
Prince Shou smiled where she couldn't see him.
Seeing that she was not willing to get down, he deliberately lifted her up and shook her twice.
Jiang Yue was so scared that she didn't dare to let him go.
"Well, if your Highness is tired, you must put me down."
"it is good."
Jiang Yue lay on Prince Shou's broad and warm back, worrying about his health.
But what she didn't know was that Prince Shou had been approaching Jiang Yue.
He actively cooperated with the imperial physician in recuperating from his illness, and also practiced physical fitness exercises that he had not practiced for many years.
Although his figure still looks thin, he actually has six-pack abs.
Because Jiang Yue casually said that she liked eight-pack abs, she is now training to get eight pack abs.
