Chapter 6: Murder on the Mountain Road

It's not yet the height of summer, but the weather is feverishly hot.

The rugged mountain road is so hot that the sun is smoking, and it is hot to step on. The branches of the trees were so hot that they rolled up, and there was no sound except for a few chirps from time to time from time to time by the Zhizhi who was hidden in them, and the mountain was scorching hot and empty.

Suddenly, smoke and dust rolled up, and a prisoner car drove up. The prisoner in the cage hung his head and his clothes were stained with blood, and it was Li Chengye who was escorted to the provincial capital.

The tall and thin servant who was driving the car wiped his sweat and said to his black-faced companion beside him, "It's too hot this day, let's find a place to rest first." ”

The black face glared at him, "It's almost time, you bear with it, don't make any extraneous branches." ”

The tall and thin man looked back at Li Chengye in the prisoner car, a little worried.

"You say, are we really going to do it? I'm still not sure...... In such weather, this person is dying of heat under the poisonous sun, so why ......"

"Shut up! Let's just do what we are told! It's all at this time, and you can regret it?! Blackface glared at him viciously.

The tall and thin man didn't dare to speak anymore.

The black face looked at the deep cliff at the end of the road, and glanced at the tall and thin man. The two jumped out of the car, and the short knife in the black face stabbed into the horse stock!

The horse neighed, and rushed straight to the cliff with the prisoner cart, and it was worthy of falling!

"Huh!" With the sound of breaking through the air, a long black whip flew over and wrapped around the falling cage.

A slender figure fell rapidly, and the prisoner cart weighed four or five hundred pounds, but it was hooked by his long whip and hung dangerously on the edge of the cliff.

Jiang Dong slashed open the cage with a sword and pulled out Li Chengye, who was in a semi-coma. The whip retreated, the horses screamed, and the carriage tumbled and fell off the cliff......

All this happened between the lightning and flint, and before the two officials could react, they were kicked to the ground by Jiang Dong.

"Success!" A crisp and anxious shout was heard in the distance, and a horse galloped towards him. The person on the horse was dressed in a white riding costume, and it was Jiang Xinyue.

She got the news early this morning that Li Chengye was escorted to the provincial capital a day in advance, and he had already set off before dawn. Thinking of Zhu Guangyuan's vicious gaze, she was terrified, and immediately chased after Jiang Dong, if it was too late...... A wave of fear hit her, and she couldn't help but tremble.

"Xinyue, why are you here? Heard that my father too? Li Chengye had just escaped death, and when he saw Jiang Xinyue chasing after him, he was filled with joy and sorrow for a while. He looked at Jiang Xinyue with hopeful eyes, wanting to hear different news from her.

Jiang Xinyue couldn't bear to look at his eyes. He whispered, "Uncle is just sick, and it's fine." ”

"Miss, fortunately, it's in time, if it's a step too late, Li Gongzi will ...... just afraid" Jiang Dong stepped forward and said.

The two officials were kicked and dizzy, and only then did they come to their senses, and they wanted to run when they got up from the ground.

The long whip in Jiang Dong's hand flew out, and the two of them were already wrapped, and with another shake, the two of them had been thrown to the ground.

Jiang Xinyue's cold gaze turned to the two servants, and said angrily: "Li Gongzi has no grievances with you, but you two are helping to abuse, Jiang Dong!" Kick these two down! ”

"Yes, Miss!" Jiang Dong wanted to kick out.

"Wait!" Li Chengye shouted.

"Li Gongzi, Li Gongzi, you can help me and the two of us to intercede, we don't want to hurt you!" The two servants hurriedly crawled towards Li Chengye and grabbed the hem of his prison clothes.

A tear was made in the tattered prison clothes, revealing Li Chengye's bloodied legs.

Jiang Xinyue couldn't hold back any longer, and tears flowed down her eyes.

"Xinyue, if these two people are killed now, how can I go to the provincial capital to be punished? Haven't your previous efforts been in vain? Li Chengye raised his hand to wipe the tears on Jiang Xinyue's face, looked at the sleeves of his dirty prison robe, and put it down again.

Jiang Xinyue didn't know, she just hated and was very sad.

"Listen to the two of you, send Gongzi Li to the yamen of the provincial government safely, and my Jiang family will not treat you badly. If you have any more evil thoughts, I want your whole family to be buried together! Jiang Xinyue said sharply.

"Yes, yes!" The two servants kowtowed like pounding garlic.

"Xinyue, to be able to meet you, with your affection, I am already content, if I ...... You must live well, promise me! Li Chengye's face was covered with blood, but his voice was gentle and firm.

Jiang Xinyue's heart ached, if he really had three longs and two shorts, how could she live a good life!?

Jiang Dong stepped forward. "Li Gongzi rest assured, I have arranged for my brother to pick up Miss Ying, and I will escort Li Gongzi to the provincial capital."

At the end of the trail, two horses were galloping. I vaguely saw that the person on the horse was wearing the clothes of the Jiangfu guard.

Li Chengye didn't care about the dirt on his hands, and held Jiang Xinyue's hand tightly. The throat choked, and a thousand words turned into this tight grip.
