Chapter 90: Being Trapped in a Collapsed Mountain

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Xu You hurried there and then picked up a piece of white rag on the ground.

Zhou Huan saw the cloth and hurried forward.

“What is this?” Zhou said.

“It’s like a bit of rag torn off a man’s clothes,” Xu said.

After hearing this, Zhou hurriedly took the rag and began to observe it carefully. After a while, her facial expression changed greatly.

“This is Shuoyang’s. This must be Shuoyang’s! Shuoyang is here! Shuoyang!”

Zhou was really concerned about her son. She believed that the rag must have been left there by her son on purpose to ask for help. Therefore, she called her son’s na in the room imdiately.

However, there was no response!

“Fang Qiuhua, Fang Qiuhua, give my son back!” Zhou shouted angrily. Just as she was about to run out to find her husband, Xu stopped her.

“Madam, wait a mont. Let’s look for so secret chanisms here. Maybe Mr. Fang is right here!” Xu said hurriedly.

Xu thought that he had arrived there, so he shouldn’t just leave like that. In addition, it was clear that Fang Shuoyang had not been transferred when the Shadow Guardians went there earlier. Since both he and the Shadow Guardians were there at the mont, he didn’t think Fang Shuoyang would be successfully transferred to another place in such a short ti. Thus, if he was not here, the most likely thing was... Perhaps there was another basent under this basent?

Anyway, just give it a try!

Therefore, Xu hurried to stop Zhou, hoping that she wouldn’t be too impulsive.

Xu thought that even if Zhou ran out to ask Fang Qiuhua, there would be no result.

It’d be better to try it here! If there was a secret path here, that would be good! Fang Shuoyang must be in there!

After hearing Xu’s words, Zhou cald down. She nodded and said, “Right. There may be another basent here. Let’s look for it.”

Then, Zhou led a group of people to search the room.

All the people, including Xu and two Shadow Guardians, failed to find anything in the room.

However, maybe because any mother in the world would do anything for her own son, or Zhou knew her husband so well, or Fang Shuoyang was so lucky that day, she finally found sothing different on the wall at the last mont!

When Xu saw the Table-9 pattern, his eyes brightened slightly. For ancient people, only experts could crack the code. But Xu was a modern man, for whom that was no longer a difficult problem.

Xu used to be a college student who liked to play this kind of chanism and all boys were interested with it at ti. So, he knew how to crack it! However, if Zhou hadn’t found the secret over there, he wouldn’t be able to do anything!

Finally, with the help of Xu You and the Shadow Guardians, the chanism was cracked and another basent appeared!

Zhou and Xu saw Fang Shuoyang, who was comatose, at the sa ti!

“Shuoyang!” Zhou exclaid. She could also do so martial arts. Seeing that her son was in such a miserable state, she didn’t think too much and jumped straight down!

All the others were frightened and two maids who could do martial arts also jumped down.

Just then, Fang Qiuhua’s face turned livid, because he had received the ssage that the people inside had found that secret room!

One of his subordinates said in a low voice, “Master, madam has found the young master. Mr. Xu now represents the royal family. I’m afraid that...”

Fang closed his eyes and said coldly, “Don’t worry. Shuoyang is not a fool. He knows what to say and what not to say. Since Xu You is also here, he will not say anything that is harmful to us.”

His subordinate finally felt relieved.

Then, Fang said, “But, keep a close eye on the young master.”

“Yes, master.”

Soon, Fang Shuoyang was taken out by his mother and was put in the room where he originally lived. He was also accompanied by the people who served him before.

Zhou hurriedly sent for a doctor. When the doctor arrived, he checked on Fang Shuoyang and learned that the man was comatose just because soone had hit his sleeping acupoints. This information reassured Zhou a little bit.

But later, when the doctor said that Fang Shuoyang’s legs had been broken and it was difficult to heal, Zhou was so shocked that she almost fainted!

But Xu said quietly, “Madam, don’t worry. His legs will be fine. I’ll find the best doctors for him. If it’s needed, I’ll report it to the emperor and ask an imperial doctor for help. It’ll be fine. Madam, you can rest assured.”

How could Zhou not worry? But it would be great if his son could be treated by an imperial doctor!

So, Zhou hurriedly said, “Xu You, you... you must report it to the emperor and ask him for help.”

Xu imdiately agreed. “Don’t worry, madam. I’ll tell the emperor right away.”

It was getting dark soon.

Seeing that Zhou was reluctant to leave, Xu said, “Madam, please go back to have a rest.”

Zhou shook her head. “No, I’m so worried.”

Xu said, “Madam, you’d better go back and have a good talk with your husband.”

When Zhou thought of Fang Qiuhua, her face darkened. Her husband had made her son like this! How ruthless!

Finally, Zhou left.

Xu kept the Shadow Guardians outside. When he and Fang Shuoyang were the only people in the room, Xu felt slightly relaxed.

“Fang Shuoyang, you’re such a fool. How could you make yourself look like this? What a sha!”

Fang didn’t respond at all.

Xu felt that he was close to tears.

After a long ti, Xu sighed. “Fang Shuoyang, wake up soon. As long as you wake up, I won’t bla you. Alright? Since you’re already so stupid, I don’t think you’ll do sothing more stupid. I won’t bla you more. When you wake up, we’ll be together. When all the things here are settled, let’s leave and travel around the world, shall we?”

Xu muttered to himself. “It doesn’t matter if your legs can’t heal. It’s not a big deal even if you are la.”

“Really? Don’t you mind if I’m la?” Fang Shuoyang’s voice was suddenly heard.

The man who was in a coma earlier suddenly opened his eyes!

Xu looked at him in surprise. “Fang Shuoyang? You... you’re awake?”

Fang smiled. “Yeah, I woke up. We haven’t t for a while. How co you’ve been stuttering?”

Stuttering? After Xu heard the words, his face darkened. “What nonsense are you talking about?”

Fang raised his eyebrows. “You said two “you” just now. Didn’t you stutter?”

Xu got angrier. He clenched his fist and directly pounded Fang on the shoulder.

“Hiss...” Fang groaned. “Xu You, you’re so cruel! I’m a patient. How could you hit ?”

“Humph.” Xu snorted and looked sideways at Fang. “I did nothing wrong. You deserve that!”

Fang didn’t know if he could cry or laugh. “How could you...”

“How could you be so stupid and get imprisoned by your father? Idiot!” Xu said.

Fang sighed. “I didn’t expect that... my father had beco... so crazy.”

Xu pressed his lips and said, “You were too careless.”

Fang shook his head with a wry smile. “Yeah, I was careless.”

“Humph. If I hadn’t been so clever, nobody would know when you would be released!”

“Yes, yes, thank you. Mr. Xu, you’re the smartest.” Fang flattered him.

“Of course. No everyone is as stupid as you!”

While the two n were talking happily here, Shi Qingzhou ran into great trouble.

Long Xiaoyuan didn’t get the wrong feeling that day. Shi ran into trouble on his way to get reinforcents.

What’s more, the trouble ca from natural disaster, instead of human beings’ mistakes.

Shi and his n were stricken by a landslide!

When they were about to climb the mountain, it collapsed!

The Shadow Guardians who were with Shi were all great martial artists. However, their martial arts weren’t so useful in face of such a natural disaster.

In the end, they were all buried in the earth and rocks, but fortunately they were not buried deep.

But there was a heavy rain in the evening. What was worse, Shi’s ankle was severely sprained under such circumstances.

In addition, two Shadow Guardians were also seriously injured.

Thus, a group of people were trapped in the mountain.

When it was the third day that Shi and his n were trapped, Long Xiaoyuan finally received the news.

“What? He’s trapped?” Long was greatly shocked. At the next mont, he had already run out of the inn.

Long picked up his speed and finally arrived at the mountain where Shi was trapped in the middle of the night.

“Where is he?” Long asked.

He didn’t ride as fast as the Shadow Guardians, so he needed to ask them when he got there.

The Shadow Guardian who was waiting for Long said, “The mountain is too big and the area of the landslide is large. So we still don’t know where the empress is. All our n are looking for him.”

“Weren’t there smoke signals?” Long frowned deeply.

The Shadow Guardian shook his head. “Yes, but I’m afraid so accident had happened.”

That was to say, Shi sent a ssage at the beginning to let others know that they were trapped in the mountain, but later they lost contact?

Long frowned deeply. “Go! Everyone, go to find the empress!”

Then, Long followed the Shadow Guardians and stepped into the collapsed mountain.

A Shadow Guardian said, “Your Majesty, there may be more landslides. Your Majesty...”

“Say no more,” Long directly interrupted him, “I have made up my mind. Go! Look for him!”

The Shadow Guardian did not dare to say anything and went to the mountain with Long.

After searching for almost all night, Long finally found Shi in a mountain col at dawn.

At that ti, several Shadow Guardians had been injured to varying degrees and two of them were comatose.

And Shi Qingzhou... had also fallen in a coma with a high fever!

“Qingzhou!” Long rushed over and held Shi in his arms.

A Shadow Guardian crawled over. “Your Majesty, I deserve to die. I failed to protect the empress.”

Long shouted angrily, “Why didn’t you go out and ask for help?”

Although they got injured in the mountain, they could still try to get out first.

The Shadow Guardian worriedly said, “Your Majesty, we... we’re poisoned.”

Long was shocked at hearing the words. “What?”

The Shadow Guardian who ca with Long hurriedly began to check. “Your Majesty, they’re all poisoned.”

“How could they all be poisoned?” Long was both shocked and angry.

That injured Shadow Guardian said bitterly, “Your Majesty, I... I don’t know. When I wanted to go out and ask for help... I was already unable to move.”

Long took a deep breath and said, “Let’s go out first.”
