Half in the river wind, half in the clouds

Jiang Feng once again witnessed Li Longye's rogue nature.

He needs to be fed, needs to be coaxed when taking medicine, thinks tea is too hot, thinks it is noisy when there are too many people around, and becomes timid when there are too few people around. A seven-foot-tall man is actually like a child!

Jiang Feng was really helpless.

Princess Taiping couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so she scolded him severely, and he got better. But when she caught Jiang Feng, he still looked extremely pitiful and wronged.

After ten days or so, his injuries finally healed. Crown Prince Li Longji sent people to look for him, and then he went down the mountain, looking back every few steps.

The world suddenly became quiet, and Jiang Feng actually couldn't get used to it.

Princess Taiping was also preparing to return home. A few days before her departure, the weather was sunny and the temperature was not high. Princess Taiping became interested. She heard that there was a waterfall in Mount Zhongnan and she insisted on going to see it.

Fangcao and Qingchuan had to make some preparations, and then they set off with a large number of carriages and horses and a group of servants.

In less than half an hour, a deafening sound of water was heard.

Princess Taiping got off the carriage, and everyone began to walk forward following the sound of water.

Jiang Feng had convenient transportation in her previous life. In addition to social practice during the winter and summer vacations, the other required subject was traveling. She had seen two of the top ten waterfalls in China. The Huangguoshu and Jiuzhaigou waterfalls were both more shocking than the waterfall in front of her.

However, Princess Taiping and her female officials had never seen a waterfall before, and they could not help but admire it.

When Jiang Feng saw this, he ordered the guards and eunuchs to set up camp, make fire and cook.

According to Princess Taiping's living habits, she had to take a nap at noon, and this habit could not be changed even when she was outside.

Princess Taiping's tent was extremely gorgeous and comfortable. Although the Tang Dynasty could not compare with the science and technology of the 21st century, it had many ways to make people comfortable.

Jiang Feng placed insect repellent herbs under the bed and at the door, and two basins of ice in front of the bed. The temperature, hygiene and comfort levels were all up to standard, and then he went out to check the kitchen.

The fire is lit, the pot is set up, the dishes are prepared, the rice is washed, and the dough is kneaded, everything is in order.

The feeling of camping and picnic is really great!

Jiang Feng stretched his muscles happily, holding his disabled right arm to do chest expansion exercises, thinking about how to convince the princess to stay here for a night, to have a bonfire party at night, roast a whole lamb, drink lamb wine, dance, sing songs...

Just as I was lost in thought, I was brought back to my senses by a scream.

She was startled and looked towards the sound, only to see a guard being shot through the chest by a cloud-piercing arrow, howling in pain. Before she could react, more arrows were shot at her, and more and more.

She shouted, "Protect the princess!"

While squatting behind a big tree.

Princess Taiping was surrounded by only two court ladies, Fangcao and Qingchuan, and a few young palace maids, all of whom were in a state of panic. The guards were on guard outside and could not rush to the princess. A few fearless people who wanted to protect the princess were shot by arrows and lost their lives.

The guards were in an open area without any shelter, and more than half of them were dead or wounded. The enemy was in the dark and attacked fiercely, and it was obvious that they were well prepared. These guards probably couldn't resist.

Jiang Feng saw an iron pot that had not yet been installed on the stove. She seized the opportunity and ran over.

There was a little eunuch squatting next to the stove.

Jiang Feng put the pot up, hid to one side, smiled at the young eunuch, and asked, "Are you afraid?"

The young eunuch was shaking with fear, but after being asked by Jiang Feng, he gained courage and said, "I'm not afraid!"

Jiang Feng said: "Okay! This is a chance to make a contribution and save your life, do you want it?"

The young eunuch nodded.

Jiang Feng pointed at the tree where he was hiding and said, "There is a path over there. Go down the mountain from there. First go to the princess's villa and ask people to come up the mountain to rescue the princess. Then, send three teams of people. One team will go to other villas in Zhongnan Mountain to ask for help. If there are other people cooling off on the mountain and knowing that the princess has been attacked, they will definitely come to rescue. The second team will go down the mountain and must take the main road and the post station to ask for help from the prince's mansion. The last team..."

Jiang Feng hesitated for a moment before saying, "For the last pair, we must keep it secret. Once you enter Chang'an City, go report to the Duke of Ying. Do you understand?!"

The young eunuch said solemnly: "I understand. I will definitely bring the reinforcements."

Jiang Feng said: "Okay! If reinforcements can arrive, the princess will definitely remember your great contribution!"

The eunuch heard it, and without hesitation, he crouched down, rolled a few times, and disappeared into the bushes.

Jiang Feng used the pot as a shield, moving the pot while squatting. However, due to the influence of his right arm, his speed was still a little slow.

Arrows were also shot at her, but they were all blocked by the iron pot. Jiang Feng finally moved to Princess Taiping and shouted, "Princess!"

Princess Taiping no longer cared about her image and came in, followed by Fangcao, Qingchuan and several palace maids.

Several more guards fell in front.

They haven't even seen the enemy's face yet, and they have already lost most of their men. If this continues, sooner or later, everyone will be doomed.

Jiang Feng looked at the river formed by the waterfall under the stone wall and asked, "Is there anyone who can swim?"

There isn't even one!

Hey!

Jiang Feng looked at Princess Taiping and said, "Your Majesty, the guards in front of us can no longer hold on. If we don't escape, we will fall into their hands sooner or later."

Princess Taiping said calmly, "They must have come prepared. The way down the mountain is blocked. How can we escape?"

Jiang Feng thought for a moment and said, "The thieves' target must be the princess! I can swim, so it won't be a problem for me to swim to the other side with the princess. Once we get to the other side, we can find a way down the mountain. As for the rest of the people here, if the enemy attacks us, just raise your hands and surrender. They shouldn't make it difficult for us."

The little palace maid behind her started to cry.

Aunt Fangcao had been through a lot, had been with Princess Taiping the longest, and was the most loyal: "Young lady, take the queen across the water. The rest of us will stay here and delay as long as we can."

Princess Taiping held Fangcao's shoulders and said, "Don't be so stubborn! At least you can keep your life."

With tears in her eyes, Fangcao kowtowed solemnly to Princess Taiping: "Your servant, respectfully send the princess off!"

Princess Taiping was also disappointed and nodded to Jiang Feng.

Without further hesitation, the two turned around and jumped into the deep pool.

Princess Taiping felt a little regretful when she jumped down. This little girl almost drowned herself, how could she swim with her?

Jiang Feng used to have no problem swimming across with one person, but now his right arm was crippled by Li Longye, and Princess Taiping was struggling, so he found it a bit strenuous.

The two of them had not gone far when they heard the thieves on the cliff shouting, "Charge! Princess Taiping jumped into the water and ran away! If she's captured alive, you'll get 100 taels of silver. If she's decapitated, you'll get 1000 taels of silver!"

Princess Taiping paused.

Jiang Feng fought even harder! The two finally climbed to the other side. There were thick reeds on the bank, and they crawled into them and ran forward desperately. On the other side of the river, Qingchuan shouted, "Princess! I am loyal to you..."

The sound stopped suddenly, as if someone had strangled the person's neck.

The situation is already very dangerous.

The two men came out of the reed marsh and found a path.

Jiang Feng pulled Princess Taiping and ran up the mountain. The princess was stunned: "That's the way down the mountain!"
