"This king didn't even know you before this. Why do you hate this king so much and want to kill this king?”
"Since you're going to die, I'll let you die knowing that my wife, Cuiyu, was killed by that stupid emperor because of you. We could have lived a happy life, but why did you ruin it? She died and left me forever. It's all your fault. I want the royal family to die a horrible death. I was originally a poor scholar, but everyone despised me for being incompetent. At that time, I couldn't even support myself."Only Cuiyu didn't despise me and treated me very well. Because of me, she entered the palace to be a maidservant. I was no longer decadent. For her, I had to get better. I worked hard to learn knowledge and took exams time and time again. I failed time and time again. It wasn't that I didn't have talent, but those dog officials only wanted silver. How could I have so much? Cuiyu found out and gave me all her savings. I was finally recognized and became the county magistrate of Qushui. I wanted to be a good official.""I'm pleading for the people. I'm honest and upright. So what? Cuiyu is still dead. There's no one who cares about me anymore. There's no one else. Hahahaha."”Liu Minzhi laughed maniacally, her eyes bloodshot.
"At that time, I was still young and was unable to stop this from happening. Father was indeed wrong. I apologize to him, but you can't take the military pay for yourself. That's the food of hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Without it, many people will die.”
"What does this have to do with me? I want revenge for Cuiyu. Today is the day you die.”
"You're stubborn. Where's Ni Shang? You captured Ni Shang, right?”Ling Yuxuan asked anxiously.
"I also want you to have a taste of losing your lover. That person was right.”
Nodding at the black robed man, the black robed man walked towards the edge of the cliff and pulled a rope. With a tug, a person was pulled up. It was Ni Shang, tied up and unconscious. The black robed man pressed on Ni Shang's acupuncture point. When Ni Shang opened her eyes, she immediately saw Ling Yuxuan and shouted," Big brother Ling, leave quickly. Don't worry about me. He has placed saltpeter in the surroundings. He wants to kill you. Leave quickly, quickly…ah…" Before she could finish her sentence, she was thrown off the cliff.
"Liu Minzhi, what do you want?”
"Let her go. Sure, as long as you return the account book to me and cripple your martial arts, I'll let her go.”His tone was extremely arrogant.
"Don't even think about it. I've already handed the account book to my subordinates to bring back to the capital. It's not with me now.”
Liu Minzhi's face instantly turned the color of a pig's liver. She made a hand gesture to the man in black. The rope that bound Ni Shang in his hand kept falling. Ni Shang's loud shout came from the bottom of the cliff. She only called once and then there was no sound. Ling Yuxuan was very anxious but could not show it. Was Ni Shang okay? 'Why is there no sound? Did something happen?' Ling Yuxuan wondered. Ni Shang, who was at the bottom of the cliff, suppressed her fear. She gritted her teeth and did not let herself make a sound. She did not want to distract Ling Yu Xuan. It was all her carelessness that caused such a thing to happen. She was really stupid.
Ling Yu Xuan saw that the man in black didn't stop and became anxious. He started to fight. Liu Min Zhi didn't have many people around her, but they were all experts. He used the simplest and most ruthless method to deal with a few of his subordinates. He was also injured. He flashed to Liu Min Zhi's side and grabbed his neck, threatening," Let him pull Ni Shang up, or I will make you die immediately. Also, let your subordinates retreat."”
He increased the strength in his hands and walked cautiously toward the man in black.
"Pull Ni Shang up, or I'll snap his neck. You don't want to see him die, right?”
"Hmph, Ling Yuxuan is already at this point. What else do you think you can do? The saltpeter around you can easily take your life. As for me, I have the two of you as my companions.”Liu Minzhi smiled a little gloomily.
Ling Yu Xuan held Liu Min Zhi hostage and stood in the middle of the crowd of black clothed men. He had to control the people around him. He couldn't let them take advantage of the loophole and hurt himself. He also had to pay attention to Ni Shang at all times to see if anything would happen. Looking at the setting sun, he said," I don't know if the Eighteen Horsemen have arrived yet. I hope they can make it. If so many people start fighting, I can't hold on for long. In the end, I definitely can't save Ni Shang."”
A palm strike came from behind him, and he dodged to the side. He was careless and let Liu Minzhi escape from his hands. The men in black attacked, and Ling Yuxuan was surrounded. Because there were too many people, it was not easy to use the dagger in his hand. His body was cut in many places, and he did not have time to hold it. As a result, he lost too much blood, his head was dizzy, and his vision was a little blurry. Gradually, he felt a little weak.
"No, I can't fall. Ni Shang is still waiting for me to save her. Big brother is still waiting for the account book. There are too many things that I haven't felt the warmth of this life. In my previous life, I was able to turn danger into safety many times. Moreover, I still have internal energy with me now. What's there to be afraid of?”
Internal energy. Thinking of this, his dantian felt like it was on fire. The dagger in his hand seemed to have sensed something. It kept trembling and gradually became blood-red. His body became hotter and hotter." Ah…" Ling Yuxuan roared towards the sky. His internal energy burst out and the dagger in his hand actually changed. It slowly grew longer and became a long sword. It was shining coldly, but it had a blood-like color. It made a buzzing sound. The surrounding people did not dare to go forward when they saw this. Ling Yuxuan's body emitted a powerful aura, but it was faintly discernible.
Ling Yuanchang and Bai Yi, who had just entered Qushui Town, heard a loud roar. They rode their horses and rushed over at the same time. The sound traveled very far, so much so that they almost lost their way. In the end, they managed to find their way here by relying on the sound of fighting. Ling Yuanchang looked at the scene in front of him with his eyes wide open. Many people surrounded his younger brother and attacked him. His body was already covered in wounds. In the distance, there was a person who seemed to be watching a show. In an instant, his anger surged. He drew his sword and leaped over at a speed that could not be covered by lightning. She pushed aside a man in black with her sword and came to Ling Yuxuan's side. She reached out a hand to support him. Looking at his reddened eyes, her heart ached.
Ling Yuxuan looked up and saw that it was his second brother. His heart felt warm, and blood slowly flowed out of the corner of his mouth." Second brother, why are you here? Aren't you at the border?"
Looking at the injured Ling Yuxuan, Ling Han asked coldly,"Can you still hold on?"”Ling Yuxuan nodded." Then let us brothers work together to deal with this bunch of trash."”An arrogant tone came out of Ling Yuyao's mouth.
Liu Minzhi saw that the situation was not right. While the black-shirted man was still dealing with the two of them, she quietly came to the edge of the cliff and looked at the Nishang at the bottom of the cliff. She said with a little pity,"What a pity for this good appearance. Go to hell."”With that, he took the rope from the man in black and prepared to throw it down. This scene happened to be seen by Ling Yuxuan. Because he was distracted, he was stabbed by the man in black. Bai Yi saw that something was wrong and joined them to deal with the man in black.
"Second brother, Ni Shang is at the shore. I'm going to save her.”Bai Yi was stunned when he heard Ni Shang's name, but he immediately came back to his senses.
"Be careful. Don't try to be brave.”Ling Yuyao said seriously.
Taking advantage of this gap, Ling Yuxuan jumped to the shore and looked at the rope in Liu Minzhi's hand. It could fall at any time, so he must not provoke him. The man in black looked at Ling Yuxuan like a tiger eyeing its prey.
"Liu Minzhi, you can still live if you turn back now. Don't continue to make mistakes.”
"Wrong, what did I do wrong? I didn't plan to return alive after coming here. It's just that it's good to be able to pull you guys along when the time comes.”After saying that, he let go of the rope in his hand.
" Ni Shang…" A heart-wrenching roar spread out once again.
"Little Junior Sister?" Bai Yi was also worried.
All her anger turned into sword qi and swept across. Liu Minzhi saw that her body had been split open and before she could react, she and the man in black behind her had fallen to the ground and stopped breathing. The sword qi was beyond recognition wherever it passed. Ling Yuandong and Bai Yi barely dodged it. Bai Yi thought,"This sword qi is so powerful. Fortunately, I dodged it quickly."”
Just as the two of them were about to walk over to comfort him, Ling Yuxuan had already jumped off the cliff without any regard for his own safety. He was even dragging a huge rock with him.
" No, Yuxuan…" It was too late to run over to stop him. Ling Yuhan just knelt by the shore in a daze.
" Young Master, Young Master…" The 18 riders who had rushed over saw the scene of Ling Yuxuan jumping off the cliff and knelt by the cliff.
Bai Yi's heart ached when he saw Ling Han's lifeless eyes. Even when he was surrounded by corpses, he had never looked at Ling Han like this. Now, he was dispirited. He walked forward and hugged him gently.
"Little Yi, do you know? He has been carrying many things for me and my brother since he was young. He has lost the happiness he should have had in his childhood. We dote on him and spoil him. We have never wanted him to participate in politics, but why are they still restless and want his life? Why can't I protect him?”
"Han, the fact that he can jump down means that he has the ability to protect himself. Otherwise, how could he save Ni Shang?”
Ling Yuhan Ting came back to his senses." That's right, I was too concerned about it, so I was shocked. This brat has many ideas, he will definitely be fine. Qiu Su, bring your men down to search. Don't let go of a single place. Your Young Master will definitely be fine."”
"This subordinate will obey." With that, he led the eighteen riders down the slope on the other side.
