The seven peaks are majestic, and below it is an abyss of a hundred feet. Below the abyss is a pool of water. The water is crystal clear, and the coolness spreads, as if it makes the surrounding flowers and plants tremble. Above the pool, there is a canvas hanging among the treetops.

Several thick ropes were tied to it, and several holes were torn in the canvas due to thick branches. Some branches nearby were crushed, revealing new traces.

The other end of the thick rope hung down and plunged deeply into the water. On the surface of the water, there was a person floating. This person's clothes were luxurious, but he had been torn several times, and there was blood seeping out.

This person didn't have any reaction. He might be dead, or he might have fainted. Anyway, he was motionless at the moment, letting the water in the pool freeze. If it hadn't been for the rope, he might have been swallowed up by the water.

At this time, not far away, there was the sound of fighting and hip-hop, and a man and a woman were walking over.

The man is older but a strong young man, while the woman is young and beautiful, full of the shyness of a mountain girl.

"Brother, I picked a lot of wild vegetables and caught a wild bird. I have some meat to eat tonight."

The girl shouted, extremely happy.

These days, she has not been so happy for a long time, not because of the meat to eat, but for other reasons.

But the young man couldn't be happy. Looking at the happy sister, he could only smile, which was very forced.

"Brother, be happy! It's rare that you have gained so much today."

The girl grinned when she saw her brother and said coquettishly.

But the young man was not happy because of this. He looked at his sister deeply and said solemnly: "Mei, how about I help you escape from Peixian County and go to Xianyang? People who came back said that Shanglinyuan in Xianyang accommodates many people."

, there is food, housing, and a monthly salary!”

This is what the young man has been thinking about for many days, but he just can't muster the courage to do it.

He really couldn't worry about his family.

My sister also heard about this, and her happy mood instantly cooled down, and she asked, "Can you? What will you do if I leave? They won't let you and my parents go."

The young man stepped forward and stroked my sister's soft hair, with soft eyes, and forced a smile: "Brother will find a way."

The girl didn't answer any more, but looked at her brother for a long time, the man who doted on her. After a while, she turned around and blew her nose, then turned back and said, "Brother, my sister knows what to do."

At this moment, her expression was very strange, even a little decisive. The young man panicked and yelled: "What do you know? You don't know anything. Can't you just wonder about it?"

"Don't you know who Wan Shan is? He's just a bastard."

The girl pondered and drooped her head. The vitality that should have belonged to a young girl was gone, leaving only the deep frown on her face.

"Amei knows, but I" After saying this, she didn't say anything more. There were some things she couldn't embarrass her family, let alone let them have accidents. As she grew up, she should think about her family.

When he turned away, he heard a splashing sound coming from the edge of the pool. He quickly changed the topic and became cheerful instantly.

"Brother, look, there is a fish in the pond, and it's very big! Grab it quickly and help my mother recuperate."

The girl hurriedly ran over, and the boy also hurriedly followed, but unfortunately, they made too much noise, and the fish didn't know where it had gone, leaving the girl with a disappointed look on her face.

"It's all your fault. If you hadn't been so loud, I would have caught it long ago."

The girl was angry.

The young man was speechless and could only respond with a wry smile, but as he glanced over, he suddenly exclaimed: "My sister, look, what is that? It seems to be a person."

What he caught a glimpse of was an object hanging from a thick rope. The object was half submerged in the water. It was not difficult to tell that it was a person. However, the person was motionless, so something must have happened.

"Yes, it's a person. Go and have a look." The girl was a simple and kind-hearted person and hurried over. The young man didn't hesitate and took off his shirt and jumped into the water.

After a while, the young man dragged the man in the water to the shore and tested his breathing and weak airflow.

"He is not dead yet, he must have passed out."

"Then take it back to the village quickly and let Uncle Feng take a look."

Feng Bo is the only doctor in the village.

The two men quickly carried the unconscious man away, but they did not forget to collect the canvas on the treetops.

The village was poor, and cloth was a rare commodity. This canvas looked fresh, but it was extremely luxurious. It was much better than the linen they wore, so they naturally couldn't let it go.

Soon after they left, several people came looking for them. It was Han Xin and others. They saw that there was no movement in the pond, and there was no sign of anyone. They saw signs of dragging next to them, but they thought it was the work of fishermen.

, and don’t take it seriously.

"It probably fell into the pond and was eaten by a big fish."

Several people couldn't see Li Zhao's figure. They searched everywhere but couldn't find him, so some people thought he had fallen into the water.

Of course, there is another idea that Li Zhao fell somewhere else and his body was taken away by wild animals.

They couldn't find the body anyway.

As for whether Li Zhao survived, no one had such an idea, because the place where he fell was so high that he would be shattered into pieces if he fell, and there was no possibility of survival.

"Shangguan, Li Zhao is dead, and even his body can't be found. How can we report this to Xiang Gong?" someone else asked.

Han Xin grimaced, as if he wanted to kill someone, and said angrily: "What else can you do? Do you think Mr. Xiang can still accept us? Run away! Hide for a while and then find his way out."

Yes, the task given to them by Duke Xiang was to kidnap Li Zhao, but they could not die. But if he died now, it would be strange if they could live in peace.

Regarding this, Han Xin does not have any extravagant hopes.

"Then where are we hiding?" someone asked frustratedly.

Xiang Gong has many eyes and ears. If he wants to find them, even if he hides in the mountains, it will be useless.

Han Xin's brows furrowed, and he made a decision the next moment: "It's the safest place to go to Xianyang. I heard that Shanglinyuan recruits a large number of civilians, so let's mix in. Even if Gong Xiang can find us, what will happen?

No one dares to touch the terror of Shanglin Garden, not even Mr. Xiang."

"Shangguan is more considerate, so go ahead!"

So, a few people took a deep look at the rippling pool and left without looking back.
