Ouyang Jinse stopped and stared blankly at the cliff. The wind howled, as if she could hear the sound of her heart shattering.
Seeing Ouyang Jinse's appearance, those black - clothed men didn't dare to continue fighting. They exchanged a look and quickly retreated. Leaving only a few corpses behind, they were about to leave. Only the leader of the black - clothed men turned back to look at Ouyang Jinse.
Ouyang Jinse was on the verge of jumping off the cliff when the leader of the black - clothed men quickly grabbed him.
"Your Highness!!!"
This cry of "Your Highness" brought Ouyang Jinse back to his senses.
It was his mother, and it was his mother who had personally killed the woman he loved most.
"Good, good, good!" Ouyang Jinse staggered back, acting like a madman.
When Yan Fei heard the bone whistle, he was waiting for Jin Yu on the mountain peak ahead. When he arrived, he only saw the mess. Niaoniao and Cheng Song were unconscious. Besides the corpses of a few black - clothed men, there was also a somewhat familiar figure, but Jin Yu was nowhere to be found.
Yan Fei had no choice but to take the three of them away first.
Below the cliff, Jin Yu was struggling desperately, hanging on a thorny tree. She didn't dare to shout out loud for fear that the black - clothed men above hadn't left yet.
She tightly grasped the corner of Prince Yu's robe. Zhongli Mingye saw that she was about to lose her strength. He painfully pulled out a dagger from his calf. As if sensing his intention, Jin Yu held on even tighter, causing the thorny tree to shake more violently.
"Jin Yu, let go!"
Zhongli Mingye's arm was constantly bleeding, and the bright red blood stung Jin Yu's eyes.
"Don't let go. Don't talk!" Jin Yu heard the ancient tree creaking and knew it wouldn't last long.
But she still refused to let go.
Seeing her determination, Zhongli Mingye just smiled and said, "Jin Yu, I love you." Then he slowly cut the corner of his robe with the dagger.
Seeing this, Jin Yu was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes: "Please!" Her hands gradually turned pale as she tried to pull back the corner of the robe again and again.
Zhongli Mingye smiled. There were some bloodstains on his handsome face, adding a tragic beauty.
"I'll go down first... If I'm lucky enough to survive... I can still save you..." His voice was intermittently carried away by the sudden strong wind.
"No!" Jin Yu shouted heart - rendingly. She desperately tried to pull back the tattered corner of the robe. Finally, she heard the heart - breaking sound of the fabric completely tearing.
The strong wind blew Zhongli Mingye's body. He swayed and fell, looking like a kite with a broken string.
Only a drop of blood landed on Jin Yu's face, cold and mixed with her tears. Looking at the corner of Zhongli Mingye's robe in her hand, she was extremely desperate!
A stronger gust of wind blew. The thorny tree couldn't bear Jin Yu's weight after all.
She also fell down.
In this way, she would not fail his affection.
In the inn at Qinghe Pass, Qing Feng just woke up and was about to leave. Now that the prince was in trouble, he would surely be held accountable. Now he could only return to Liuzhou City to gather people to look for the prince, alive or dead.
"Stop!" Yan Fei blocked Qing Feng in the lobby with the Flying Sky Chain in his arms. The two had met in Liuzhou City before.
"What was the situation then? Where is Miss Song?"
Qing Feng glanced at Yan Fei obliquely and coldly said, "Thanks to your junior sister, the prince's life or death is unknown."
"The prince escorted them on their way and was attacked on the road."
Qing Feng briefly told Yan Fei what had happened, but Yan Fei's attention shifted to the words "Your Highness".
Based on Qing Feng's description of that person, it was very likely to be Ouyang Jinse.
In this case, the Golden Water Palace couldn't get away with it.
Now that he had got the information he wanted, Yan Fei had to go looking for Jin Yu.
Qing Feng said with a gloomy face, "If anything happens to the prince, none of you martial artists can live!"
Yan Fei was already in a bad mood because of Jin Yu's accident. Hearing this, he immediately took out the Flying Sky Chain.
"What did you say!"
"Stop!"
Seeing them starting to fight among themselves, Niaoniao covered her arm and came over to stop them.
"Miss and the prince's life or death are unknown. You two—"
"We should find them first. The longer it takes, the more dangerous they will be."
"Although the Huangshan Cliff is steep and full of dangers, we have to find them as long as there is a glimmer of hope." Then, they could decide who was right and who was wrong.
Qing Feng and Yan Fei glanced at each other, put away their weapons, and went their separate ways.
Yan Fei told Cheng Song and Niaoniao to recover a bit and then quickly return to Tianmen Mountain to call for reinforcements, while he would act alone.
Yan Fei silently prayed that his elf - like junior sister would be okay and couldn't be in trouble.
Niaoniao watched Yan Fei eat without appetite. It pained her heart, but she didn't dare to say anything. As Jin Yu's maid, even though her heart was attached to Yan Fei, she didn't dare to show it. She just served the food to him.
...
On a huge rock below the cliff, a man and a woman were lying there. Jin Yu was in so much pain that she was weak all over, while Zhongli Mingye was still unconscious.
The strong wind just now had directly blown them into a water pool. Fortunately, Jin Yu was good at swimming and desperately dragged Zhongli Mingye onto the shore.
Zhongli Mingye wasn't so lucky. Due to excessive blood loss, he had long lost the strength to struggle out of the water pool. He had been knocked unconscious the moment he fell into the water.
"Ah! God!"
Great! He wasn't dead. Jin Yu crawled over to check Zhongli Mingye's breath and couldn't help but relax. God was kind to her. Whew!
After putting her mind at ease,
She quickly took off her wet cloak to dry. She opened her treasure bag, poured out the water, and rummaged through those small gadgets she carried with her.
One of the three clay pots was broken, and the remaining two could still hold things. Jin Yu didn't expect that her impromptu decision would come in handy.
She looked back at the man who had given her the clay pot. He was still unconscious. She couldn't help but sigh.
There were several flints and a set of silver needles.
A jar of wound medicine, some tonic pills she had refined a few days ago, and several bottles of sleeping pills.
They were all intact and hadn't been soaked in water. Only the storybook had been soaked and had to be discarded.
Jin Yu first applied the wound medicine to Zhongli Mingye's arm and dissolved the tonic pills to feed him. Anyway, his life was saved.
Jin Yu was very proud: Cats have nine lives, but I have ten!
As the sun gradually set in the west, poisonous snakes and fierce beasts often appeared in the valley below the cliff. Jin Yu helped the Prince Yu up and slowly moved forward with difficulty.
She didn't stop until she reached an abandoned house. Just as the sun set, the valley was filled with water vapor. The sky was dim and yellow, and the crows' cawing made one's hair stand on end.
In the Golden Water Palace, the servants didn't dare to make a sound.
Since being dragged back by the remaining black - clothed men that day, Ouyang Jinse had neither eaten nor drunk nor spoken.
When Lady Jinhua came in, Ouyang Jinse's room was in a complete mess.
She had been in a good mood originally, but now seeing her son looking so dejected, a shadow was cast over her heart.
"Are you torturing yourself for a woman?"
Lady Jinhua disdained and picked up the only intact camellia in the room with her jade finger.
She gently plucked it and sniffed it carefully.
"Anyway, you can't change this outcome!"
Lady Jinhua crushed the blooming camellia.
Ouyang Jinse raised his eyes. There was no trace of emotion in them.
He recalled how disappointed he had been when he first got this news from his subordinate.
His mother knew very well how important Jin Yu was to him, but she still insisted on killing her. Ouyang Jinse couldn't believe it, but he still rushed over.
His mother had even sent out the ten top experts of the Golden Water Palace. This showed that she was determined to kill Jin Yu.
Unfortunately, he was still too late.
His little goldfish had fallen off the cliff covered in wounds.
