Chapter 106: Falling off the cliff
Early the next morning, the two climbed up the cliff through the forest, and beneath the steep cliff face was a pool of turquoise lake, which was indeed a natural barrier from the outside world.
Cheng Ruying bent his fingers to his mouth, and rhythmically blew out a series of whistles, and after a while, a small group of black-clothed people rushed out of the forest, Cheng Ruying suddenly became alert, it stands to reason that they should whistle first, he quickly jumped back, and the hand holding the hilt of the sword pulled out the long sword.
"They're not from the Mid-Levels Pavilion!"
As soon as Cheng Ruying's words fell, the black-clothed strong man led by him drew his knife and slashed over, and Cheng Ruying dodged and jumped to the side.
"They're from the Mid-Levels Pavilion? No wonder there are some skills, but right now it's all in the belly of the fish."
The black strong man led by raised his knife and pointed to the bottom of the cliff, and the other four people laughed, very arrogant.
"It's noisy!"
Mo Yan rushed out of the forest in a rage, drew his sword and was about to rush over, Cheng Ruying grabbed his arm, his eyes full of remorse and despair.
"Sorry, I seem to have messed up."
Mo Yan patted the back of his hand, it seems that this matter can't be avoided, since there is no way to avoid it, it is better to let it go.
"It's not necessarily impossible to win."
The two of them stood with the five people back to back, and after a few fights, Mo Yan saw their skills, this pair of people was not Jing Ping's gang, if he guessed correctly, it should be the group of dead soldiers raised by Qin Huan in Youzhou.
Their fatal moves were ruthless, and both of them were injured before they could be solved with great difficulty, Cheng Ruying was seriously injured, and one of the knives was cut right on the wound on the back, and the wound that had just healed burst open and blood flowed.
"Come with me."
Cheng Ruying shook off the blood from the sword with her backhand, grabbed Mo Yan's shoulder and led him deep into the woods. The two found a hidden tree and climbed it, Cheng Ruying leaned on the trunk tiredly, the excessive blood loss had made his eyes black, he shook his head vigorously, there was still something to do at the moment, he couldn't faint.
"Brother Mo, I'm glad to have met you, you're luckier than me to treat her well."
"Definitely, the child's stepfather, you can't escape."
Mo Yan raised his hand to wipe the blood stains from the corners of his mouth, smiling as much as ever. Cheng Ruying smiled happily, he had earned his words, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and drank it all, the colorless and tasteless liquid entered the body along his throat, and then his stomach hurt incomparably, his scalp hurt as hot as an explosion, and he kept pulling his hair in pain.
This reaction is too familiar to Mo Yan, it is the poison that he turned into silver hair back then, and Xiang Shan Ming prepared for himself four years ago, how could he bring it with him?
"What are you doing here?"
Mo Yan was angry and annoyed, the bottle of poison was clearly carried by Cheng Ruying, needless to say that this intention was already very obvious, he was ready to die for him at any time.
"They won't give up, I can't live, you have to live."
Cheng Ruying said and spit out a mouthful of blood, and the scattered hair has turned white, this process is very bearable, it seems that the little marquis really loves the third princess, and the third lady can rest assured over there.
"Don't feel sorry for me, I'm so happy to see her right away, I've been thinking about her every day for four years. Little Marquis, come over here, I have something to say to you......
Mo Yan leaned over, if he died, he would definitely find those people to avenge him, and he would never live alone. Cheng Ruying naturally knew his thoughts, and as soon as Mo Yan got closer, he slapped him on the back of the head without a trace of hesitation.
"You ......"
Mo Yan's eyes darkened and fainted, Cheng Ruying took out the Mo family jade pendant on his body and put it in his arms, since he had to do a full set of plays, the jade pendant naturally couldn't stay with this appearance.
Cheng Ruying climbed down the tree with all her might, supported her body with branches and walked to the edge of the cliff, struggled to stand up, and straightened her messy clothes.
"Ye'er, I'm here......
Cheng Ruying's mouth bent, and he jumped off the cliff, he finally knew what Wen Ye was thinking when he jumped from the city tower, there was not much sadness in his heart, some nostalgia and reluctance to the world, and more of the relief that his best friend could live because of this.
A middle-aged man in his mid-forties jumped out of the forest
The person is not tall but very burly, with a dark complexion and rough facial features, and a calm and domineering aura on his body. He walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down, but he could no longer see the man, only faintly hearing the sound of a man falling into the water echoing through the valley.
"Looks like I'm still late."
It didn't take much for the man to find Mohiko in the tree, and he ordered his men to take Mohiko to a courtyard in the mountains.
Mo Yan fainted from blood loss for two days, and when he opened his eyes again, it was a strange courtyard, where no one else came in and out except for a servant who delivered food, and the sound of birdsong in the mountains proved that he was still in the mountains and forests.
He is depressed, although he has the desire to survive, but there is something missing in his heart, which makes him feel empty, except for eating and sleeping every day, sitting in the yard in a daze all day long, but asking about any person or thing.
"Isn't he wasted? Why don't you go and see it?"
The middle-aged man who rescued Mo Yan couldn't hold his breath, he took a lot of trouble to rescue people, but don't end up becoming a wasted person with no fighting spirit. As soon as the subordinate of the report left, he went directly out of the city to find Mo Houye.
"He's already dead, he can't go back and can't let go, let him calm down."
Mo Hou Ye put down the map in his hand and sighed, he is not in a hurry, but things are slow, as long as Mo Yan is still alive, the rest will take his time.
"I'm the one who has troubled your father and son."
The middle-aged man blamed himself for apologizing, and Mo Hou Ye hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.
"What does the family say, Luo Yue, oh no, I should call you Shuoyue Marquis."
The man in front of Mo Hou Ye was his wife Luo Yao's half-brother Luo Yue, who had now changed his mother's surname to Tuoba for the Jingping royal family, and gave him the name Tuoba Shuoyue.
"Although you are my brother-in-law, you and I are the same age and call me Shuoyue, so don't mention the surname Luo again."
Tuoba Shuoyue didn't care too much, today is also the second time the two have met, Hou Ye must not have deliberately made a mistake, and blamed him for not explaining it in advance and his own negligence.
Mo Hou Ye nodded in understanding, after all, it was Luo Yao's father who abandoned his mother back then, even if he hated his father, it was understandable.
"Shuoyue just call me Zhen'an, you save my son as I save my life, the kindness of these two lives is in the next inscription."
That day, Tuoba Shuoyue rescued Mo Hou Ye and Li Cheng in time, he was already very grateful, and now he found Mo Yan again, this kindness is really unrequitable.
"I said that the family didn't see outside, why did Zhen'an himself see outside?"
Tuoba Shuoyue smiled happily, and after only two or three sentences, he saw that the relationship between the two was slowly getting closer.
"That's right, the letter that asked you to go that day can be sent?"
Mo Hou Ye is not an unsympathetic person after a long time on the battlefield, and he must ask for something when he sees him working so hard to win him over, but there are too many coincidences and unreasonable things in this matter, so he can only wait and see what happens indifferently.
"I sent someone out last night, but King Jingping checked it tightly, and I can't guarantee when it will be in the hands of the head of the Xiang family."
"Thank you."
Tuoba Shuoyue said calmly, and Lord Mo couldn't see the flaws, so he could only believe him for the time being.
Two days later, Li Cheng learned about Cheng Ruying's fall from the cliff and couldn't sit still anymore. He is the one who knows the friendship between Mo Yan and Cheng Ruying best, and this matter will definitely not be easily settled in Mo Yan's heart.
"Master Hou, the relationship between the two of them is very complicated, you listen to me explain it to you......
As soon as Li Cheng said this, Mo Hou Ye was also anxious, and immediately asked Tuoba Shuoyue to take them to see Mo Yan. Tuoba Shuoyue readily agreed after receiving the letter, and sent someone to send the two to the Yinshan Courtyard early the next morning.
As soon as Mo Hou Ye entered the courtyard, he saw Mo Yan lying lazily in the courtyard basking in the sun, and he suddenly lost his breath.
"It's been three days, what kind of mess is it like this? Are you worthy of your brother?"
Mo Yan got up and saluted, and smiled bitterly unconsciously, yes, he was sorry for anyone, if his mother hadn't led away the enemy spies in order to protect him, he wouldn't have lost his life because of this, and his father must still blame him in his heart.
"As my father said, I will only drag others down, and this time I will not live up to your expectations, and I will never be able to do it
Your good son."
"You ......"
Mo Hou Ye was speechless for a while, it seems that this kid is very energetic, and there is nothing wrong with his sharp teeth.
"Little Hou Ye, Hou Ye didn't mean this, this is Brother Cheng's own choice, I believe he has no regrets.
Li Cheng stepped forward to be a peacemaker, the two fathers and sons have been arguing for more than ten years and are still the same, it seems that the happy scene of returning to Beijing on the first day was pretended by the two of them for Wen Ye, who was newly admitted to the house.
"Don't persuade him, let him think clearly for himself, he can't pretend to be someone else in his heart now."
Mo Hou Ye had something to say, and he deliberately said it vaguely, he understood that the person his son cared about the most was his daughter-in-law Wen Ye.
"San Ladies, how is she?"
Mo Yan really let go of everything, and anxiously asked her about her current situation, if the news of her death reached the capital, she would definitely cry and hurt her body, and maybe she would look for death and life.
"Don't worry, Xiang Shanming has received a message, and I believe she will find out soon."
Mo Houye's expression eased a lot, his daughter-in-law would naturally feel distressed, not to mention his unborn little grandson, he couldn't let them be frightened.
"Who saved us? It seems that the man had an agreement with Cheng Ruying, but he still refused to say who he was, is this strange?"
Mo Yan looked at Li Cheng, he knew that his father would not explain everything for him, let alone let him be involved.
"He's your uncle, you don't have to know anything else."
Mo Houye's answer was as Mo Yan thought, giving him a reassuring answer, the previous and future events have nothing to do with him, if he resists and does not give in, the next thing is to lock him up and prevent him from going out for half a step.
"Father, I'm twenty-one years old this year, and you can't treat me like a child anymore."
Mo Yan looked indifferent, there was no anger or quarrel, he just looked at Mo Hou Ye calmly, he was ready to hold on like this until Mo Hou Ye spoke.
"I'll talk about my business, haha!"
Tuoba Shuoyue's laughter interrupted the confrontation between the two fathers and sons, and Li Cheng retreated a little further, this Shuoyue Hou is not as easy to deal with as rumored, he still has to find a way to contact Xiao Wu and them earlier.
