Chapter 42: The Line Between Life and Death

Jiang Mingzhi left the Prime Minister's Mansion tonight, not only to test her position in Pei Zheng's heart now, but also to kill him in the Prime Minister's Mansion to avenge her father when Pei Zheng came to look for her.

But he never expected that when Jiang Mingzhi was still waiting for Pei Zheng to come in the courtyard, someone came faster than him!

When Jiang Mingzhi noticed that something was wrong, he subconsciously took half a step back.

It was this half-step that allowed her to avoid the deadly attack, and at the same time found the man in black behind her.

Jiang Mingzhi didn't know what was going on, but he also understood that now was not the time to dwell on this matter, so he spread his feet and ran in the opposite direction.

The man in black surrounded him like a ghost, and Jiang Mingzhi took advantage of his familiarity with the terrain to pass by the sharp sword several times, which shocked her to sweat, but she didn't dare to stop the pace under her feet.

When he got out of Shangshu Mansion, Jiang Mingzhi couldn't tell the difference between southeast and northwest, so he casually found a direction and ran forward.

After running a long way, she realized that she had run in the opposite direction and had fled to the outskirts.

Now that he wants to go back, I'm afraid it's impossible, Jiang Mingzhi gritted his teeth and could only continue to run forward.

But when she ran into this ruined temple, she really had no strength, and wanted to take the opportunity to hide, but she was cut by a blade, and the severe pain hit, but she regained some strength and continued to run forward.

I didn't want to fall off the cliff because the road was slippery because it was dark, and she was injured at the moment, so she couldn't see the road under her feet for a while.

The killer chased here, looked at the darkness under the cliff, and decided that it was impossible for a powerless woman like Jiang Mingzhi to survive, so he went back to inform Xiao Yanran that the task was completed.

Xiao Yanran didn't expect things to go so smoothly today, and immediately gave them some more silver taels.

And at this moment, Pei Zheng also followed the blood stains on the ground all the way to the edge of the cliff, looking at the bottomless ravine in front of him, his face was gloomy and terrifying.

Without his instructions, several people had already found their way down the cliff, and Pei Zheng's footsteps hurriedly looked around, and the white bones could be seen in his eyes, which made him even more anxious.

Fortunately, after some searching, Pei Zheng saw the figure, but his body was soaked in blood, and he didn't breathe much more than he took in.

Pei Zheng stepped forward quickly, carefully took the person into his arms, turned around and walked back.

After going up the cliff, Pei Zheng looked at her pale face, knowing that she wouldn't last long, and forcibly suppressed the anger in his eyes, "Go and bring the doctor." ”

After that, Pei Zheng took Jiang Mingzhi to the nearest room.

This place is usually their stronghold, but now the situation is special, and they can only bring people here.

When the doctor arrived, Jiang Mingzhi's chest rose and fell slightly, and the whole person was lying there, as if he would disappear in the next second.

After some rescue, Jiang Mingzhi's life was finally saved.

But at this moment, her face is pale, the wounds on her body are shocking, and even the house doctor said that it is already unexpected to be able to save her life now, and as for whether she can wake up in the future, it depends on her creation.

Pei Zheng's gaze fell on Jiang Mingzhi, he hated to kill those who forced Jiang Mingzhi to such a point!

In the next few days, Pei Zheng stayed by Jiang Mingzhi's bedside, as if he was going to stay here until she woke up.

It wasn't until three days later that Jiang Mingzhi woke up.

She thought she was going to die, after all, she fell from such a high place, she only felt that the pain around her was about to drown her, and reason was gradually moving away from her.

But she never expected that when she was unconscious, she felt a touch of warmth, thinking it was an illusion, but she didn't want it to be God's mercy.

Jiang Mingzhi rolled his eyes, but saw a figure that shouldn't have appeared here, Pei Zheng.

"What, I'm surprised to see my true appearance?" Pei Zheng was the first to speak.

The moment she woke up, Pei Zheng noticed something, but he didn't move, just stared at her quietly, until he was sure that she was really awake, and then he couldn't let go of his heart.

Jiang Mingzhi didn't expect that the first person she saw after waking up would be him, and the hatred in her eyes swelled up, making her tremble.

Seeing this, Pei Zheng hooked the corners of his mouth and sneered, "If you want to kill Benxiang, at least stand up first, Jiang Mingzhi, Benxiang knows that you want to avenge your father, and Benxiang promised to give you a chance." ”

Jiang Mingzhi's eyes were full of puzzlement, as if he didn't understand what trick Pei Zheng was playing.

"You're lying in bed right now, but you can't do anything about it."

Pei Zheng didn't explain too much, and turned around and left after saying this.

Jiang Mingzhi didn't notice that something was wrong, even with her hatred for Pei Zheng, she would never continue to lie down.

That night, Jiang Mingzhi stood up with the support of Hongyue.

Although there was still a distance of pain from the wound, and a cold sweat broke out after just standing for a moment, Jiang Mingzhi was still happy, at least she was still alive! She can also avenge her father!

Pei Zheng was outside the house, staring at the scene in front of him with the same relief.

"Where is Pei Zheng?"

Hongyue was stunned, as if she didn't expect Jiang Mingzhi to ask so bluntly.

"The master should be next door, but Miss Jiang wants to see the master?"

Hongyue didn't think much about it, and thought that Jiang Mingzhi was ready to thank Pei Zheng for saving his life.

"No, I'll ask." Jiang Mingzhi's voice froze, the next time she saw Pei Zheng, she would definitely kill him!

Jiang Mingzhi suppressed the hatred in his eyes, and just wanted to recover as soon as possible.

On this day, Jiang Mingzhi endured the pain and stepped out of the door for the first time, looking at the clean and tidy courtyard that was cleaned up, it looked like someone lived here.

Before she could get around, she heard footsteps coming from next door.

"What, you can't wait to kill your true appearance now?"

Jiang Mingzhi slowly closed his eyes, but he still couldn't control the hatred in his heart.

She knew in her heart that Pei Zheng had saved her, but she also knew that she had to kill him with her own hands, these two emotions kept changing in her heart, and she couldn't speak.

Jiang Mingzhi held on to the door frame and moved back into the house step by step.

Looking at her back, Pei Zheng did not make a sound.

Looking at this scene, Cho Yun only felt sorry for how these two people had come to such a point.

The next day, in the name of delivering food, Cho Yun entered the house and did not leave.

"Miss Jiang, you're recovering well now." Chopping Cloud also knew that his topic was not very good, so he covered his lips and coughed twice before continuing.

"When we brought Miss Jiang back that day, we all thought that we had no power to return to heaven, but we didn't expect that Miss Jiang was blessed with a great fate, after all, it was Lord Yama who was unwilling to accept Miss Jiang."

Jiang Mingzhi didn't have much hatred for Chopping Cloud, and after listening to his words, he still nodded at him.

"In fact, sometimes, many things are not as they seem on the surface, many things are not up to their own hands, there may be unspeakable hidden, and the truth can only be revealed after a long time has passed."

Cho Yun's words meant something, but Jiang Mingzhi didn't understand why he was saying this to himself at the moment, but he faintly guessed in his heart that Cho Yun was here to be a lobbyist for Pei Zheng.
