Chapter 361 The evil woman who used poison is not worthy of the imperial physician (28)
In fact, Baili Xuan felt a little scalp-tingling when she saw this mountain road. Before she was poisoned, her Qinggong was very good, so this mountain road was nothing to her.
However, since the poisoning, the damage to his meridians has not yet fully recovered. He may be able to finish the climb, but it will still be more or less strenuous.
Chen Yanchuan and his father Chen Banxia's faces turned green at this moment.
The ten-day journey had exhausted their physical strength, and it was basically impossible to go up again.
After thinking for a moment, the Chen father and son turned their eyes to the escort team that escorted them here.
It seems that they want the other party to carry them up.
However, all the wanderers were shrewd people and they all turned their heads away and didn't look at them.
The leader of the escort team said directly: "Master Chen, Master Chen, we have already arrived at our destination, we will not go up."
"Yes! You said at the time that you would stay at Muyun Villa for five days and then return to the capital." Another deputy team leader also echoed, "We will wait for you at the foot of the mountain for five days, and then we will set off together when it is time to return."
After saying that, he arranged for the team members to start preparing tools for camping outdoors.
For example, they set up temporary tents and even started cooking.
In the eyes of these bodyguards, they were originally doing the job of guarding, and they had already fulfilled their duties by escorting the Chen father and son along the way. If they were to carry them up the mountain now, that would be too much.
Moreover, the mountain road is rugged and difficult to travel on, and it is not an easy task to climb the mountain with two people on your back.
Naturally, the bodyguards were unwilling to endure this hardship and take this risk.
After hearing this, the Chen family's father and son's faces turned very ugly.
They originally thought that these escorts would follow their arrangements, but unexpectedly they were rejected.
Chen Yanchuan frowned and couldn't help but said, "We must go to Muyun Villa. Since you think this is not within your responsibility, then we can spend extra money, right?"
After hearing this, the escort leader couldn't help but feel a little tempted, and he was just about to discuss it with the deputy leader.
But then he saw the deputy team leader looking up at the mountain road with a thoughtful expression. After the two looked at each other, they both felt that this should not be done because the risks were too great and the benefits were too small.
The escort leader said to Chen Yanchuan: "Mr. Chen, we have completed the mission, please don't make things difficult for us. If you need help, you can go find someone else."
After saying that, the escort leader took the other escorts to start doing other things, leaving the Chen father and son standing there in a daze.
Chen Yanchuan gritted his teeth and looked at the busy bodyguards in front of him, his heart filled with helplessness and anger.
"Dad, what should we do then?" Chen Yanchuan asked anxiously, his eyes fixed on his father Chen Banxia.
Chen Banxia frowned slightly and fell into a brief contemplation, then answered firmly: "In this case, we have no choice but to rely on our own strength."
After saying that, he clenched his fists.
Baili Xuan just glanced at the father and son, then started climbing up the mountain with his senior brother Huo Jinyi.
"Junior sister, let me carry you up!" Huo Jinyi felt a little sorry for Baili Xuan. After all, she had just recovered from a serious illness. When they were in Hanguang Tower, he arranged a sedan chair for his junior sister even if the mountain was not steep enough.
The mountain today is much steeper than the mountain behind Hanguang Tower, so Huo Jinyi is still very worried.
"I'm not that delicate." But Baili Xuan did not completely reject Huo Jinyi's kindness, "I'll crawl first, and when I can't walk anymore, you can carry me!"
"Okay!" Understanding his junior sister's insistence, Huo Jinyi didn't say anything else.
The two of them climbed together towards the location of Muyun Villa.
Compared to the ease of this pair of senior and junior brothers and sisters, the Chen father and son obviously have a much harder time.
But they can't give up.
One was for the future business of the Chen family, and the other was determined to "worship" his fiancée.
The purposes are different, but the destination is the same.
So, the father and son resolutely embarked on the journey to climb Muyun Villa.
Holding simple mountaineering tools, they moved forward step by step along the winding mountain road.
At first, Chen Yanchuan could still walk while complaining about the ruthlessness and disloyalty of the bodyguards, but slowly his breathing became heavy and he no longer had the energy to complain.
Father Chen, on the other hand, remained silent and focused on the road ahead.
As time passed, night gradually fell, but they were still quite a long way from Muyun Villa.
Suddenly, a cool breeze blew, bringing a hint of chill.
Father Chen had a bad feeling in his heart and urged Chen Yanchuan to speed up.
However, fate always seems to like playing jokes on people.
Just as they were about to reach the top of the mountain, a heavy rain suddenly fell from the sky.
The big raindrops hit them, making the already rugged mountain road even more slippery and dangerous.
