Chapter 31: Deception, Who Are You

"Lan Lanβ€”"

As soon as Aunt Gu got out of the carriage, she saw Ling Lan tied up by a rope and fell off the cliff with Ling Chuchu, and she was immediately furious and fainted.

The march back to Beijing stopped.

The emperor ordered the officials of the court to return to Beijing first, and sent guards down the mountain to look for him.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker, Mama Liu used all kinds of tricks, and finally saw Aunt Gu open her eyes, let out a long breath, and said, "Auntie, you have finally woken up." ”

Aunt Gu clutched Mama Liu's sleeve and said, "What about Lan Lan?" Where's my Lan Lan! ”

Mama Liu said: "The emperor has sent someone down the mountain to look for it, aunt rest assured, Miss Jiren has her own natural appearance, and she will definitely be fine." ”

Aunt Gu breathed a sigh of relief, "Jiren has his own nature...... Lan Lan has had a heart disease since she was a child, and if she is injured and sick, wouldn't it be ......?"

Aunt Gu saw it very clearly, if it weren't for Ling Lan being tied up, she would obviously have a chance to escape just now, "Ling Chu, Ling, Chu, Chu!" Even if you die, I will whip you to relieve the hatred in my heart! ”

Aunt Gu looked at the surrounding environment, and crawled in the direction of the emperor's sedan chair, but was stopped by the king of Zhennan halfway, "What are you crazy about!" ”

Aunt Gu saw that it was the king of Zhennan, so she threw herself directly into her arms, crying pear blossoms with rain, and said, "Lord Wang, you want our Lanlan to be the masterβ€”β€”"

There were all Ling Hongyuan's subordinates next to him, he was pounced on by Aunt Gu like this, and suddenly felt that he couldn't hold his face, so he pulled Aunt Gu into the carriage and said, "I have sent someone to find it, I am still uncertain whether the person is dead or alive, what are you doing here!" ”

After Aunt Gu finished saying that Ling Chuchu had tied up Ling Lan, her tears took all the makeup, and her little fist gently beat King Zhennan's chest, and said, "Lan Lan has a bad body and bones, and she never fights with others in everything, why is Ling Chuchu's heart so ruthless?" actually wanted Lan Lan to die. ”

"Lord Wang, you have to be the master of Lan Lan......"

King Zhennan frowned, "After all, Chu Chu is the county lord of Anguo who was personally appointed by the first emperor, and this matter will be discussed later." ”

"What?!" Aunt Gu's eyes widened, and she pushed Ling Hongyuan away suddenly, and said, "Since the prince is protecting her like this, then I will ask the emperor to call the shots!" ”

As he spoke, he rushed out.

"Come back!" Ling Hongyuan was furious, grabbed Aunt Gu's hand and threw it back, Aunt Gu fell to the ground, and said: "You give me honesty, the emperor has secretly returned to the palace, if everyone knows about this matter, you and I will not be able to save our lives!" ”

Aunt Gu nodded in fright, and when King Zhennan left, she instantly changed her expression and said to Mama Liu: "Send a few henchmen to look for it together, as long as you see Ling Chuchu...... Lawfully kill on sight! ”

When Ling Chuchu woke up, she was lying on the branch of a large tree, and Yuan Qin called to her at a stone protrusion below.

"Miss, there's a cave here."

She turned her body carefully, moved to the raised stone little by little according to Yuan Qin's method, and followed Yuan Qin into the cave.

Under the cliff was the turbulent river, and the river wind poured into the cave, she hugged Yuan Qin together to keep warm, and asked, "Where is Ling Lan?" ”

Yuan Qin shook her head, "At that time, the young lady pulled the slave and maid to jump out, and was about to go ashore, but was pulled down by the fifth miss, and the slave fell on the stone and fainted, and when she woke up, she saw the young lady hanging on the tree, and the fifth young lady was nowhere to be found." ”

Ling Chuchu lay on the stone, first looked down, and then looked up, but found no figure, shook his head and said, "It looks like it was washed away by the water." ”

Today's incident, she never expected it to be like this.

I wanted to use Ling Lan so that Aunt Gu would not be reckless, but I never thought that Aunt Gu would not hesitate to sacrifice Ling Lan's life to let her die.

Although the location is safe, it is shaded by trees above and below and can be difficult to spot.

The two had been shouting for help ever since they heard the search at the bottom of the cliff, but the rushing water was so loud that it almost drowned out their voices.

There was a rustling sound in the shadows of the trees.

"Someone's coming!" Yuan Qin greeted excitedly and shouted, "Here, the county lord is here......"

One hand swept away the leaves, and then a long sword full of cold light slashed at the face.

Yuan Qin was so frightened that she retreated again and again, still shouting in her mouth: "Miss, run-"

When Ling Chuchu came out of the cave, he saw Yuan Qin and the man in black entangled together, and the man in black found her, no longer entangled with Yuan Qin, and faced Ling Chuchu with a sword.

The two of them were powerless women, not the opponents of the man in black at all, and they were forced into a corner after three strokes and five divisions, Ling Chuchu touched a stone behind him that was waiting for a sharp corner, deliberately diverted the attention of the man in black, and asked, "Aunt Gu sent you?" ”

The man in black nodded, looking at Ling Chuchu with a lewd smile.

In the process of falling, her clothes were torn by the branches, almost to the point of being naked.

The man in black said: "You're going to die anyway, so it's better to let me enjoy it." ”

He threw his sword on the ground and stepped forward with a lewd smile.

Yuan Qin stopped in front of Ling Chuchu and said, "Whatever you want to do, come at me, kill me, please let my young lady go." ”

The man in black loosened his neckline, "You? Just the way you don't have four taels of flesh all over your body, you think it's beautiful! ”

After speaking, he pushed Yuan Qin aside, pounced on Ling Chuchu, grabbed her hand with one hand, and untied her clothes with the other.

"How much did Aunt Gu give you? I'll give you double, triple ......" Her eyes were full of horror, and tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, "Ten times! As long as you let me go, I will ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life! ”

The Man in Black did not answer.

Ling Chuchu then continued: "I am the county lord of Anguo, if you kill me here, someone will definitely find out, do you think that at that time, Aunt Gu will still protect you?" You're wrong, she won't, she'll be the first to confess you, clean things up, and make you a scapegoat! ”

"As long as you let me go, I promise that only the three people in the cave will know about this matter, and there will never be a fourth person who will know about it, and I will give you endless gold and silver, you should think about it......"

Before she could finish her words, she suddenly heard the man in black snort coldly.

The man in black pinched Ling Chuchu's chin, "You people are all raccoon dogs, and the surname Gu will not let me go, why should I believe that you will let me go?" ”

"Peony flowers are also ...... to be ghosts"

Seeing that the man in black was about to kiss her on the lips, Yuan Qin rushed up and shouted, "Miss......"

Yuan Qin tried to pull the man in black away, but was pushed to the ground every time.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the entrance of the cave:

- Is this it?

- I just heard a cry for help, it should be here.

The man in black turned over, picked up the long sword, and stunted Ling Chuchu and Yuan Qin with a hand knife, hiding behind the entrance of the cave. And Yuan Qin secretly crawled to Ling Chuchu's side and helped her get dressed.

A dark shadow flashed through the hole, and before the man in black could react, a dagger had already been inserted into his heart.

The man in black fell to the ground in response, the two looked at the empty cave, not knowing who the person who shot was who, Yuan Qin picked up the stone, slowly approached, and saw the man in black struggling to get up, subconsciously threw the stone and pulled out the dagger, and stabbed it again.

One after the other, until the man in black stopped moving.

The three were covered in blood.

"Dead ...... He's dead? ”

Yuan Qin picked up the man in black, checked his breathing, and made sure that he was out of breath and grinned with tears on his face, and when he turned around, he saw that his young lady had been held in Lu Qingran's arms.

When Ling Chuchu opened his eyes and found that it was Lu Qingran, his eyes were full of shock.

She never thought that her relatives put her in danger everywhere and wanted to take her life, but Lu Qingran always appeared at the most critical time to save her from danger.

"How are you?"

The heart, where it was hard to stone, suddenly softened a corner.

"I'm here, I'm not afraid."

Lu Qingran took her into his arms, rubbing the tears on Ling Chuchu's face with his right hand, his heart was full of fear, as long as it was a little later, Chu Chu might be ......

I can't even think about the consequences of that.

"It's okay, I'm here, it's okay......" Lu Qingran picked her up and walked out, "I'll take you home." ”

She leaned her head on Lu Qingran's shoulder, and as soon as she came out of the cave, she found that there were dozens of people guarding outside, and when she saw Lu Qingran coming out, they all looked respectful, and they were stopped by Lu Qingran by clasping their fists and saluting.

All are raw faces.

Wrong......

Ling Chuchu looked around quietly, and found no other suspicious points for the time being, and at this moment, she suddenly saw a strange trace on the back of Lu Qingran's head.

The hand holding the man's neck approached and touched it - a human skin mask!

There are several ropes hanging from the cliff.

The situation on the cliff was unknown, but at present, it seemed that what these people wanted was Ling Chuchu's life, she thought for a while, and forcibly asked Lu Qingran to send someone to bring Yuan Qin up first.

Yuan Qin thought that she was worried about the safety of the rope, so she rushed to the front without saying a word.

Ling Chuchu approached and whispered: "This person is not Lu Qingran, I don't know what their purpose is, go up later, you want to find a way to slip away quickly and find someone to save me, you know?!" ”

Yuan Qin's expression changed suddenly, grabbed Ling Chuchu's sleeve, and wanted to speak, but she pushed her away, "Go!" ”

She didn't let Lu Qingran hold herself anymore, and quietly widened the distance between the two, every time Lu Qingran took a step closer, Ling Chuchu took a step back, just like that, after half a cup of tea, Lu Qingran finally noticed that something was wrong: "Chu Chu, what's wrong with you?" ”

Ling Chuchu still stepped back step by step, "No...... It's nothing. He looked up at the top of the cliff and changed the subject, "I don't know if they went up?" The rope is not strong......"

Lu Qingran wanted to hug her, but she avoided her, and almost wrote the word vigilant on her face.

Lu Qingran asked, "You doubt me?" ”

Seeing the man approaching him step by step, Ling Chuchu suddenly sneered and stopped him from stepping forward, "Don't come here!" ”

She stepped on the edge of the stones, and the rushing river was under her feet.

Lu Qingran's heart hung in his throat, and he ordered his subordinates to retreat, "Chu Chu, don't be impulsive......"

Ling Chuchu mistakenly thought that this person was sent by Aunt Gu, thinking that Ling Lan's life and death were unknown now, he looked down at the river at the bottom of his feet, and turned his heart sideways, "You take a step further, and I will jump down from here!" ”

If you are caught by Aunt Gu, you will definitely die, and there is still a chance of life if you jump.
