Border Cook

Li Junhao's men only wanted to scare Lu Qiyan, so they would not push Xia Mingyue off the cliff. However, with only her hands holding the hemp rope, Xia Mingyue was on the verge of falling. Whether Li Junhao's men loosened their hands on purpose or were careless, Xia Mingyue's life was in danger.

"Stop!" Lu Qiyan shouted, glaring at Li Junhao. "You went through so much trouble to lure me here, just to torture me, to avenge the so-called past grudges in your heart, and to vent your anger."

Lu Qiyan's gaze shifted from Li Junhao to Xia Mingyue, who was swaying in the mountain breeze.

His eyes darkened and he gritted his teeth, growling, "But if my wife falls off the cliff, I will definitely jump off this half of the cliff together with her, and your wishful thinking, Li Junhao, will all come to nothing!"

Li Junhao also gritted his teeth.

He made the right bet.

Xia Mingyue is indeed very important to Lu Qiyan, so important that Lu Qiyan is not only anxious to get to the top of the cliff, but even at such a critical moment, Lu Qiyan, a battle-hardened and shrewd commander, has forgotten all his strategies, and all his emotions are written on his face, making him feel that it is possible to completely control Lu Qiyan.

However, Xia Mingyue is so important to Lu Qiyan that if anything goes wrong with Xia Mingyue, Lu Qiyan will definitely not live in this world and will sacrifice his life without hesitation.

If that's the case, then Lu Qiyan would be too lucky.

This is not what he wants to see!

Li Junhao gave up the idea of ​​pushing Xia Mingyue directly off the cliff and seeing Lu Qiyan heartbroken. He suppressed his inner anger and waved to his men again.

The person who was restraining Xia Mingyue pulled Xia Mingyue inside as instructed.

At this moment, Xia Mingyue suddenly struggled hard, using all her strength to throw herself towards the edge of the cliff. She closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and jumped off the cliff without hesitation.

The incident happened too suddenly and Li Junhao's men were caught off guard. When they came to their senses and reached out to grab, they couldn't even catch half a piece of Xia Mingyue's clothes.

Li Junhao was also startled and subconsciously took two steps towards the edge of the cliff to see what was going on.

Lu Qiyan stepped forward quickly and also leaped down from the half cliff.

These things happened in just a moment, and Li Junhao and his men were so shocked that they widened their eyes and opened their mouths.

After a long time, Li Junhao and his companions poked their heads out from the edge of the cliff to see what Lu Qiyan and Xia Mingyue were doing.

It was late at night, the mountains were high, and the cliff was on the shady side. Looking down from the cliff, it was pitch black and nothing could be seen.

After a long time, a faint "thump" sound was heard, as if two people were falling to the ground.

After such a long time, if he fell to the ground, even a man of iron would be shattered into pieces.

It can be said that Lu Qiyan and Xia Mingyue are doomed to die.

Everyone looked at each other and sighed inwardly.

They are all soldiers, accustomed to fighting and killing, living on the edge of a knife and licking blood. What they admire most are those who are not afraid of life and death and value friendship and loyalty.

In order not to embarrass Lu Qiyan, Xia Mingyue was willing to jump off a cliff and commit suicide.

In order to prevent Xia Mingyue from being alone on the road to the underworld, Lu Qiyan gave up all his power and wealth, refused to live in disgrace in this world, and was willing to follow.

The friendship and behavior of this couple are truly amazing, touching, and even amazing.

Li Junhao also felt a sense of emotion in his heart, but when he thought that Lu Qiyan died so easily, and even committed suicide in front of him, leaving him without any ability to fight back, he felt suffocated.

Li Junhao spat fiercely on the ground and gritted his teeth, "Go down the mountain, to the bottom of the cliff!"

Lu Qiyan had never suffered any hardship at his hands during his lifetime. Now that Lu Qiyan was dead, he would find Lu Qiyan's body, grind his bones and scatter his ashes to vent his hatred.

"Yes!" Several people followed Li Junhao down the mountain.

A group of people hurried on their way.

There is only one way down this half cliff. Although I had walked this way when I came here, the moon is setting in the west, the night is getting darker, and the road is even more difficult to walk on.

After Li Junhao and others went down the mountain, the eastern sky had already shown a little paleness, and the whole sky was filled with a hazy light.

To get from the foot of the mountain to the cliff on the other side, you need to go around the entire mountain.

The top of the mountain is just a small flat area, but to get to the foot of the mountain, one has to walk quite a long way and spends a lot of effort.

Moreover, the road at the foot of the mountain is also winding and difficult to travel on. In late spring and early summer, the weeds and trees have grown lushly, making the road even more difficult to travel on.

It took a long time, until the sun was high in the sky, before Li Junhao and others finally arrived at the foot of the cliff.

There is a small stream at the foot of the cliff. The stream is not big and is covered with gravel. It nourishes the low bushes at the foot of the cliff, making them more lush, making it inconvenient for Li Junhao to walk.

Moreover, he fell from a cliff, the mountain wind was strong, and the falling location was quite large, which made the search even more difficult.

When the subordinates looked around, they all felt that the situation was full of difficulties and couldn't help sighing in their hearts.

But Li Junhao's eyes turned red at this time, and he was determined to find the bodies of Lu Qiyan and Xia Mingyue, and ordered everyone to search carefully.

He himself was searching thoroughly, his eyes wide open, for fear of missing any clues.

After searching for more than an hour, the sun had risen to the sky.

Everyone was exhausted, and one of them said to Li Junhao, "Master, there are many wild beasts in this mountain. This is the time when the beasts are the hungriest. Perhaps the body has been eaten by the wild beasts in the mountain, or dragged back to the cave."

"Even if the body was eaten, there would still be traces of blood. It's impossible that there would be no trace at all!"

Li Junhao roared, "Search, keep searching!"

We will definitely be able to find the bodies of Lu Qiyan and Xia Mingyue.

They all saw the two men jumping off the cliff with their own eyes, so their bodies must be at the bottom of the cliff.

If I really can't find it, does that mean...

Two people didn't die?

No, this is impossible!

This cliff is so high, how is it possible to survive if you jump from it?
impossible!
Li Junhao's eyes turned bloodshot and his gaze was sinister. "Hurry up and find it!"

"I wonder what His Highness is looking for in such a hurry?"

A faint voice suddenly sounded, startling Li Junhao's eyelids. He and his men quickly gathered together and looked around vigilantly.

"Who is it? Come out!"

There was a rustling sound, and two figures emerged from the woods and bushes.

One of them is Xia Yunji, and the other one...

It’s Lu Qiyan!

Li Junhao's pupils shrank instantly, and returned to normal after a moment. He stared at Lu Qiyan intently, "You are not dead after all!"

He knew that Lu Qiyan was like a ghost, an existence he could not get rid of. How could he die so easily?

Jumping off a cliff is just a trick!
No, that's not right.

Lu Qiyan's clothes were stained with a lot of dirt, and there were scratches and cuts on his cheeks, forehead and clothes. Even many strands of hair were scattered, and he looked very disheveled.

Lu Qiyan was like this, and it really was like he had jumped off a cliff.

But the purpose of his jumping down was not to commit suicide for love and follow Xia Mingyue, but to save Xia Mingyue! Wait, this is a half-walled cliff. Even if he wanted to save someone, jumping down like this...

Lu Qiyan had already made preparations and was confident that he could successfully rescue Xia Mingyue.

You can even use this opportunity to avoid his pursuit.

In this way...

Xia Mingyue jumped down on purpose!
Everything was Lu Qiyan’s plan!
The reason why the two people were able to come up with this plan was because of what Lu Qiyan said at the time.

If my wife falls off the cliff, I will definitely jump off this half of the cliff with her, so that all your plans, Li Junhao, will come to nothing!

Xia Mingyue completely trusts Lu Qiyan and has no hesitation.

Lu Qiyan tried his best to rescue her and successfully saved Xia Mingyue right under his nose.

Completely ruined his plan!

Li Junhao figured this out. He looked at Lu Qiyan with a poisonous gaze and said viciously, "Lu Qiyan, you defeated me again. You must be very proud now!"

Lu Qiyan smiled calmly, "Your Highness may be wrong."

"Why, aren't you happy in your heart?" Li Junhao still gritted his teeth.

"Your Highness is wrong again." Lu Qiyan said dimly, "What Your Highness called a strategy is nothing in my eyes. It was expected that I would win against you. It is not worth being proud of."

what?
Li Junhao gritted his teeth.

In other words, Lu Qi Yan had never taken him seriously, nor had he ever considered him a strong rival.

Everything he did was just a joke in Lu Qiyan's eyes.

It's a joke!

"This is too much!" Li Junhao shouted angrily, drew out his sword, and was about to chop at Lu Qiyan.

At this moment, Lu Qiyan turned around and left.

Xia Yunji held the sword in his hand and blocked Li Junhao's attack.

Being entangled by Xia Yunji, Li Junhao was extremely angry and shouted at Lu Qiyan's back, "Lu Qiyan, are you going to escape in the middle of a battle?"

"Your Highness really doesn't understand what people are saying." Xia Yunji sneered, "My brother-in-law just said that he has never taken you seriously, so naturally there is no need for him to take action. I am enough."

Xia Mingyue was kidnapped by Li Junhao and suffered so much. As his younger brother, Xia Yunji was naturally extremely angry and wished to cut Li Junhao and his gang into pieces.

And now that Lu Qiyan has left, it is obvious that he is also going to give him this opportunity.

Xia Yunji would naturally do his best to teach these evil people a lesson.

He must repay them double for all the suffering his sister has endured!

All the anger in Xia Yunji's heart turned into strength, which he used to hack and chop Li Junhao and the others.

In the woods below the cliff, there was suddenly a sound of fighting.

Lu Qiyan walked out of the woods and came to an open area.

Fan Jinglan and Wu Jin were sitting on the ground with Xia Mingyue to rest.

Wearing the cloak brought by Fan Jinglan, with a cushion under her body, holding a warm hand warmer in her hands, and drinking a few sips of hot red date tea, Xia Mingyue finally felt a little better. Her teeth, which had been chattering constantly, finally calmed down temporarily, and she was able to live peacefully.

Xia Mingyue let out a long breath, and when she saw Lu Qiyan coming back, she asked, "Husband."

Lu Qiyan walked up to Xia Mingyue with a smile, half squatted down, and held her hand.

His fingertips were cold, obviously still in shock from surviving the disaster.

Blowing a breath of hot air onto Xia Mingyue's hands, Lu Qiyan helped to rub her palms to warm them up.

This action made Xia Mingyue feel more at ease. After looking around, she asked, "Where is Yunji? Why didn't he come back with you?"

"He." Lu Qiyan smiled, "He's busy beating the dog. It will take a while."

Hit the dog?

Fan Jinglan couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, "Then I'll go too!"

Xia Mingyue had suffered such a disaster, and Fan Jinglan was also feeling angry. She had already pulled up her sleeves as she spoke.

The excitement is beyond words.

Fan Jinglan's skills are also outstanding, and with Xia Yunji there, dealing with Li Junhao and his men is as easy as taking candy from a bag.

"Go ahead." Lu Qiyan said.

Xia Mingyue wanted to stop her, but Fan Jinglan ran away like an arrow before Lu Qiyan could finish his words.

"Hey..." Xia Mingyue called out helplessly and rolled her eyes at Lu Qiyan, "You indulge her like this too."

"In life, it's important to have a good time. If you keep restraining her and make her feel depressed, that's not right. It's better to have a good fight and feel happy both physically and mentally."

Lu Qiyan smiled and said, "Besides, being able to fight alongside Yun Ji is probably what Madam Fan has always been looking forward to. As a sister, it's not good for you to not think about making their wish come true."

"You are always right." Xia Mingyue rolled her eyes at Lu Qiyan again.

Lu Qiyan smiled and stopped stroking Xia Mingyue's hand. He just pulled her collar and placed it on his chest to warm it with his body temperature.

A warm feeling suddenly rose up and spread from the palm of my hand to my heart.

Xia Mingyue leaned on Lu Qiyan's shoulder.

After Lu Qiyan hugged Xia Mingyue's hand tightly, he looked at Wu Jin who was standing beside him, "How about you join in the fun?"

This excitement refers to following Xia Yunji and Fan Jinglan to deal with those bad guys.

Of course Wu Jin wanted to go.

These thieves have done such bad things. If it doesn’t bite them to death, it will not be called Wu Jin!
However, it really didn't like the way Lu Qiyan addressed those thieves just now.

dog?
These people don't deserve it!
But now is not the time to worry about this, it’s better to bite first!

It’s better to vent your anger!

Wu Jin barked at Xia Mingyue and Lu Qiyan, and then rushed towards where Xia Yunji and Fan Jinglan were.

The screams that were originally mixed in with the sounds of fighting instantly turned into wailing.

It's so miserable and cruel that I can't bear to hear it.

Lu Qiyan frowned slightly, "It's too noisy here, and it's cold and damp at the foot of the mountain, which is not suitable for my wife to rest. Yunji said that their horses are tied to the poplar trees at the entrance to the mountain. I will take my wife back to rest first."

"Okay." Xia Mingyue nodded.

After going through a dangerous situation, she was now safe and sound. The tension in her mind was completely relieved. She felt dizzy, weak and in pain all over, and was in great pain. (End of this chapter)
