A woman as beautiful as Meng Eqi, even though her side face was stained with splattered blood, she was still as beautiful as a ghostly ghost from hell under this lingering moonlight. The people chasing after him could see Meng Qiqi's face clearly. In an instant, everything was silent, and everyone could only hear each other's heavy breathing.
The sound of a feathered arrow breaking through the air broke the silence in the mountain, and it started the night in the forest, fluttering as if it fluttered with its wings.
The man closest to Meng Qiqi had already been pierced by arrow feathers in his chest. He didn't have time to react, but his eyes widened before he fell straight down.
Fang Bao appeared on a brown horse not far behind them. He was dressed in red, and his eyes dazzled like stars in the night. He held up his bow and arrow: "Capture them all alive, I will reward you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a black shadow flashed in front of him, and Sheng Jiayan had already flown away.
"She's surnamed Sheng! You are despicable!" Fang Bao shouted, chasing after him on horseback.
There were dozens of guards behind them, all holding torches, illuminating the mountains like daylight.
This group of strong men did not expect that tying a Gao Lan would attract so many people. They were not professional at all, and now they are like ants on a hot pot. Seeing the death of two brothers, one of them led with red eyes: "Damn it! If you fight with them, catch this bitch, the brothers may still have their lives to go back!"
When Meng Qiqi heard these words, she stood up hastily, and limped forward to run for her life.
She dragged her orange skirt and fled under the moonlight. The strong men were determined to die desperately, and they were about to hold Meng Eqi as a hostage in their hands, chasing them as if they were dying. Sheng Jiayan stepped on the cloud and chased after the moon, without any weapons on him.
Meng Eqi was chased by them to the edge of the cliff, and one step forward was a bottomless abyss. She stopped abruptly, and the kicked stones rolled down the cliff. The night wind on the edge of the cliff was quite strong, and she rolled up her skirt like a fragile oriole in the middle of the night.
There were a total of five strong men chasing behind Meng Eqi, and the last two turned around to resist Sheng Jiayan's pursuit.
Sheng Jiayan was very fast, and used his fists and feet to reach the blade in the hands of the bandit. In the blink of an eye, the two strong men had been knocked to the ground, clutching their wrists and howling in pain. Sheng Jiayan picked up a long knife on the ground with his toes, and weighed it in his hand.
Meng Eqi was forced to the edge of the cliff by three strong men. Sheng Jiayan lifted his foot and kicked the strong man in front of him off the cliff. He immediately stretched out his arms and embraced Meng Eqi, protecting her and fighting and retreating. His dark clothes were swaying in the wind, and he was the most vivid figure in Meng Qiqi's eyes at this time.
at this time! The gangster who had just broken a wrist by Sheng Jiayan just now got up and charged towards Sheng Jiayan with a knife.
Meng Eqi was hugged by Sheng Jiayan and saw the scene very clearly.
She pushed Sheng Jiayan away, and she took two steps back habitually, thinking that the knife would slash firmly on her body, but the culprit was probably because the pain in his wrist just now made him exhausted. He rushed over aggressively, but stepped on a stone, so that the soles of his feet slipped, and he faced the ground with his face like a dog eating shit.
It didn't matter if he fell, but Meng Eqi couldn't hold back, and fell backwards with a rather elegant posture.
Sheng Jiayan was quick-witted, grabbed her ankle, and Meng Qiqi stopped the trend of falling. She was so frightened that she screamed, and the wind blowing from the bottom of the cliff slipped into her internal organs through her chattering teeth. This thrilling scene made Sheng Jiayan's face turn white instantly.
There was only a slight cracking sound of bones, and a sharp pain came from Meng Qiqi's injured ankle. Sheng Jiayan grabbed her ankle with one hand and clasped the edge of the cliff with the other.
Meng Qiqi hung her head in the air with her feet up and her head down. The pain in her ankle made her cry, but the night wind at the bottom of the cliff smeared her face with tears and snot: "Let go. Me! Let me die!"
Sheng Jiayan was holding on tightly, and he didn't even have the gesture of letting go. Not only that, he actually wanted to try to lift Meng Qiqi's ankle.
Meng Qiqi's painful tears flowed: "please give me a treat..."
Seeing that the timing was good, the strong man raised his knife and slashed at Sheng Jiayan's hand holding the edge of the cliff again.
Fortunately, Fang Bao's arrow finally shot through the thief's body again this time, only to hear him scolding as he rode his horse: "The arrows shot in a row are crooked, it must be that your arrows are not doing well, and there is nothing at all. Weight! It folded down in mid-air!"
Therefore, Sheng Jiayan finally had the opportunity to pull Meng Qiqi up.
When Meng Qiqi was pulled up, she almost fainted from the pain. Sheng Jiayan pressed her face to his chest, not allowing Fang Bao to take a second look.
"She's surnamed Sheng, you're wrong. After all, it's the one we rescued together. I have to see what happened to Miss Meng!" Fang Bao was very dissatisfied when he saw that Meng Eqi was in his arms and didn't even struggle.
Sheng Jiayan picked up Meng Qiqi, strode away, "So Sister Gao will leave it to you to go back and ask for credit."
Afterwards, he threw Meng Qiqi into the carriage that Mo Chunfeng had come to, and gave Dingchen a light reprimand, and the two horses walked away quickly, carrying a splash of sand and gravel.
Fang Bao looked at the distant carriage, and then looked at Gao Lan, who was looking at him pitifully in front of him.
He spat fiercely: "What is this called!"
On the carriage, Sheng Jiayan just wanted to touch Meng Eqi's ankle to check the injury, when Meng Eqi made a howl like a pig.
She lay flat on the car board and wept, she kept mumbling: "I'm afraid I'm going to give up..."
This sentence made Sheng Jiayan chuckle for a while, Mo Chunfeng handed over the hot and humid handkerchief at the right time, Sheng Jiayan took it, moved Meng Qiqi's head to his lap, and began to give her serious words little by little. Wipe the tears and snot from your cheeks.
"It can't be scrapped, it doesn't matter if one foot is missing."
The hot and humid veil and Sheng Jiayan's gentle strength made Meng Eqi feel a lot better. Sheng Jiayan gave Mo Chunfeng a look when she didn't notice her ankle. Mo Chunfeng took off Meng Qiqi's shoes and socks, her toes felt cool, she shivered, and immediately raised her head to be vigilant: "What are you doing?!"
Mo Chunfeng spread his hands: "Did you lose a foot? Of course I'll help you fix your bones."
Meng Eqi looked at him suspiciously: "Just you? Can you do it..."
Mo Chunfeng sneered: "I'm afraid you don't know? I have a lot of skills in bone-building. I used to take the bones in the palace..." Mo Chunfeng paused and thought about it: "It's really not, you're probably the first. indivual."
Even though Meng Eqi was not happy, she shrank her legs sharply, causing a burst of pain, so she cried and cried again.
Sheng Jiayan held down her swaying head, and his cold fingertips touched Meng Qiqi's forehead, only to hear him say with a bit of indulgence: "Amen, you are so nonsense, it reminds me of your child. At that time, you threatened to marry me, but I shouldn't, you just lay on the ground and cried."
Hearing this, Meng Qiqi was like a thunderbolt. She couldn't imagine herself being so shameless to beg Sheng Jiayan to marry her, so she immediately said, "Really!? I really did this!?"
As soon as he finished asking, he heard the familiar sound of bones resounding again, Mo Chunfeng clapped his hands: "It's done, I'll do it, I'm not bragging about my bone-setting skills."
Meng Eqi moved his ankle in surprise, and the pain was no longer piercing.
She looked at Sheng Jiayan, who was also looking at her.
I'm afraid that what he said just now was just to divert his attention... Even if he lost his memory, he would never have such courage...
Meng Qiqi was very unsure whether she had done such a thing or not, so she could only frown and glance suspiciously at Sheng Jiayan's brows.
Mo Chunfeng poured a cup of tea to moisten his mouth, and then said viciously: "Fortunately, Qiqi is fine, otherwise they will have to cut their hands and feet! Are the people of the Zhao family really so bold? The daughter of the prefect of Youzhou, the Zhao family doesn't even care about it? You want to sacrifice alive."
Sheng Jiayan's face sank: "Concubine Zhao in the palace, when the emperor is sick, he always asks her to be by his side, even the queen doesn't have such an honor, do you and his Zhao family have the courage?"
Mo Chunfeng smiled sarcastically: "Whether the Zhao family or the Gao family, I'm afraid it's not a good thing. It's not bad that they can choose between the two factions this time."
Sheng Jiayan glanced sideways, and Mo Chunfeng was silent.
Meng Eqi felt dizzy when her feet didn't hurt anymore. Resting on Sheng Jiayan's knee, he asked half asleep, "What is a living sacrifice?"
"It's a live sacrifice, I'm afraid the Zhao family's idea is a yin marriage." Sheng Jiayan lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the position of the moon.
"Yin marriage?" The people of the Zhao family actually planned to bury Gao Lan alive and send it to the underworld to marry Zhao Changrong. No wonder the group of strong men from the Zhao family refused to turn him over to the government. This is the reason...
The carriage drove into Youzhou City, it was almost late at night, and the sound of beating men came from two streets away.
Gao's mansion was brightly lit, Madam Gao leaned on the Taishi chair and pressed her eyebrows, with a few tears in the corners of her eyes, and there was a maid beside her who followed her heart.
"Master!" Madam Gao tearfully looked at Gao Xian, who was walking around the hall with a thoughtful face, and said bitterly, "The Zhao family is too deceiving, and Lan'er can be tied up today, will we want our Gao family tomorrow? The life of the upper and lower!? Zhener has just entered the official position, they have such malicious intentions, how can I be relieved? Today is found, if not found, does it mean that Laner will really go to give that short life Zhao Changrong was buried with him!"
Gao Xian was very upset. After listening to his wife's words, he immediately became impatient: "Do you think I don't want them to do something? Concubine Zhao is so favored in the palace right now—" He looked around and lowered his voice. : "The emperor is not dead, he can't move!"
Mrs. Gao flicked her sleeves: "Don't think I don't know when you send letters to the nobles in the capital on weekdays! That's clearly..."
"Shut up!" Gao Xian stared fiercely: "You woman, are you tired of living?"
