The wind makes different sounds in the bumps of the mountain wall, long and short, like weeping, like complaining. If he and Suzaku really fell into this place today, he thought it was all his fault. From the beginning, he was bent on proposing, and in the end, he was bent on taking this dead end.

"Master......" He couldn't stop the whimpering in his throat as he slowly let go of Suzaku's arm. From the beginning to the end, Suzaku never blamed him for half a word, but how could he, not blame himself?

At this moment, the strange sound of the wind and his half-whimpering whisper suddenly seemed to be mixed with another voice. He suddenly stopped and turned his head - except for the five people who had fallen before, there were only sparse trees, strange snow, and nothing unusual.

"Master, did you hear that?" he couldn't help but ask Suzaku, because he did seem to hear someone calling his name in the far distance.

He listened with bated breath. "Jun Li——!" The voice is really still there. The wind twisted it, sometimes big and sometimes small, not real, but in the gap between the wind, he could at least make out that it was a woman.

He suddenly felt something, Huo Ran raised his head - above the wind and thunder cliff, in the dark gray sky, there was a figure waving something. The moment he recognized her, his whimper suddenly turned into a choked one, even if he couldn't actually see her clearly.

She didn't know if she noticed that he had seen her, and leaned down and screamed louder and louder: "Come up, they—they're coming after you!"

"...... that?" Suzaku also looked up, but didn't seem to recognize her.

Xia Yan sorted out his emotions a little. Gu Xiaomeng. He made a gesture of indifference.

He didn't know why Gu Xiaomeng was on the Wind Cliff, and he didn't know - the vine was broken, and she still shouted "Come up". However, from a height like Gu Xiaomeng, it was not difficult to see that someone had approached. He believes.

Gu Xiaomeng shouted again: "Be careful!" I saw something in her hand slide down the mountain wall quickly from the top of the peak—when he got closer, he found that it was another vine—she actually fell a new vine from the top of the cliff, and when she saw it hanging to the bottom, she hissed again: "Jun Li, hurry up, hurry up!"

Gu Xiaomeng...... Zhuo Yan married—that little girl?" When the Vermilion Bird Villa was fighting, Shan Jiquan was far from marrying Gu Xiaomeng, so Suzaku had never seen her back then, but later heard about it, "Is it the one you are in the Gu family—'sister'?

Xia Yan reached out and grabbed the vines. This new vine came from nowhere, and it should never be "new" from the point of view of thickness, and it should be the same age as the two roots that were cut down, and it may even be born from the same root. But—Suzaku asked well. - Is she credible?

Of course he had believed her, but—he remembered the letter that lured him to the Valley of the Green Dragon, and ended up in such a situation. All she knew today was that she was really trying to save him, not to booby trap him again?

"I don't know, maybe...... Not credible. Although Xia Yan said this, he still tore off the placket of his clothes, untied the belt of his clothes, or even tore off the tough branches of the thick vine, and began to tie the Suzaku to his back. With such a high cliff, if Suzaku was not firmly tied, he was really worried that if he was negligent, he would be in danger.

Suzaku didn't say much. Although he preferred Xia Yan to listen to his own way of putting him down under the cliff, he knew that persuasion was useless, and although he also felt that Gu Xiaomeng might not be credible, if she really wanted to help Shan Jiquan take the lives of the two people, she really didn't need this method. He knew that this was the last hope that Xia Yan wanted to grasp in his hands - or he wanted to give him the last bit of trust in his old "sister" - no matter what, he couldn't stop him, and he could only use his own way to prevent him from having anything to do.

"Hurry, hurry up......" Gu Xiaomeng's voice was intermittent in the wind, with an anxiety that did not seem to be disguised. Xia Yan took a deep breath after tying up the Suzaku. That's right. He had no other choice. He couldn't use such a body to fight for the little bit of life in the narrow valley, and he didn't believe that Gu Xiaomeng would harm him with his own hands. However, he still mustered all his spirits and carefully grasped the mountain rocks during the climbing, so that even if Gu Xiaomeng really did something on the vines, he at least had room to retreat and protect himself.

Just after leaving the ground, he heard Gu Xiaomeng's anxious shout again, "Jun Li, hurry, they-they're coming!"

Xia Yan was speeding up with all his strength, and with every foot, the wound was torn and painful, and every bit of strength made him gasp sharply. He didn't have to glance down—he could clearly feel that dozens of people were approaching. Judging from their location, most of them were bows and arrows.

Bow & Arrow Group...... He sighed inwardly. At this time, when he was hanging in the air, what ability did he have to dodge? Xu Shan no longer had a bow, but there were still many people who did.

Needless to say, of course, it was Shan Jiquan who made such arrangements. Tuoba Gu may not have received the news so quickly, but he-everyone had already thought of the Wind Thunder Cliff. Xia Yan even heard his unrestrained sneer coming from under the mountain wall, as if he was still trying to climb and the Vermilion Bird on his back were already the two trophies he hung on the eaves.

"Xu Shan," he heard Shan Jiquan say, "and I will have a chance to make up for your mistakes." These two people - it's yours. ”

Xu Shanne replied "yes". He then took a new bow from someone and pulled the empty string.

If the arrow comes, the first person to bear the brunt will of course be the Suzaku on his back. Xia Yan knew this very well, so he desperately turned his body in mid-air, the wound on his abdomen was clinging to the vines, and the blood flowed down all the way.

Xu Shan drew a full bow. Even if the vine swayed, even if Xia Yan tried to change his position, this slow deviation in front of Xu Shan's archery skills may be too small. Suzaku knew what he was doing. He only stretched out one hand and also held the vine. "It's okay, Junli. He whispered, "I'm here." ”

He was already tightly bound, and as soon as he grabbed the vines, he blocked Xia Yan's body too easily. Xia Yan was shocked. "Xu Shan, you dare—you dare to shoot an arrow!" he exclaimed.

Almost at the same time, another voice screamed.

"Shan Jiquan!" he heard Gu Xiaomeng's voice coming from the wind above his head, and he was even more terrified than his, "Shan Jiquan, you dare—you dare to shoot an arrow! If you dare to release an arrow at them, I will jump from here immediately!"

Xia Yan's chest shook. He looked up, but he couldn't see her. He remembered that she had visited him in the dungeon—she had thought that there would not be such a day—and she said to him: Jun Li, if anyone dares to touch you, no matter who he is, I will fight with my life to protect you.

The eyes moistened in just a moment. She stood on the top of the cliff, looking at the countless snow and fog and the drop of dozens of zhang and the single spring. They were so far away from each other, so small, with only a vague outline. It was probably the first time she had screamed so much at Shan Jiquan, but she had so much strength that all of Shan Jiquan's sneers and smugness were frozen, and she couldn't make a sound again.

He knew her. If she can do it, she can do it.

Not a single arrow dared to come again. The whole valley seemed to be still, except for the wind and snow howling, except for the one person with one person tied to his back, still struggling to go up.

"Your sister—treat you well. Suzaku whispered in his ear, "Maybe today—I can really walk." ”

Xia Yan let out a soft "um" and didn't have the strength to answer more. Only by climbing upwards with all his strength can he live up to the last ray of life in this desperate situation.

Halfway through the climb, he realized that it was not a whole vine, but two broken vines of about the same thickness, connected by a cloth tie up and down, and then it hung down to the ground. He carefully recalled that the last time he had seen two vines on the summit, they had grown old and strong, not only growing all the way up from the valley, but even stretching all the way up from the peak. This time, the two vines were cut off on the top, and the remaining part was bound to remain on the ground of the peak, but its length must not be enough to hang down to the valley, so Gu Xiaomeng filled the middle section with cloth and connected the two vines together.

He and Suzaku had just arrived under the cliff, and even if Gu Xiaomeng saw him from afar, it would never be possible to prepare such a complex vine in such a short period of time—the length and firmness—it would have to be repeated many times. Unless—she's been doing this vine in the first place.

- She wanted to get out of that peak.

It must have been Shan Jiquan who locked her up in this secret place, and even cut off two vines to prevent her from leaving. There was only one reason for him to lock her up temporarily: because he was coming today, and Gu Xiaomeng knew everything he had arranged. He didn't want to hurt Gu Xiaomeng, nor did he want Gu Xiaomeng to ruin his business. He probably didn't want to take his life in front of Gu Xiaomeng - just like now.

He suddenly understood that Gu Xiaomeng was sincere when he wrote that letter. She really looked forward to him coming to Qinglong Valley, looking forward to him being able to get married to Thorn, and looking forward to him being reconciled with everyone in this place. It wasn't she who wrote to lure him in, but Shan Jiquan enticed her to write the letter.

Of course, Shan Jiquan was well planned from the beginning. He can use many excuses to trick Gu Xiaomeng into not revealing the marriage proposal to the thorn for the time being, such as saying that he wants to wait for Xia Yan to reply exactly, and for example, saying that he wants to surprise the stab. How did Gu Xiaomeng think that Shan Jiquan had another plan. She was only looking forward to this day - hoping that after so many misunderstandings, whether it was Qinglong Valley, the Shan family or the Gu family, and Xia Yan could finally release their previous suspicions, but in the end, on this day, Shan Jiquan only put her under house arrest on the high cliff.

Xia Yan approached the peak little by little. He saw Gu Xiaomeng's appearance clearly for a moment. His sister had never changed, except that the snow had fallen on her hair, accumulating a thin layer of ice. Her face was red from the cold, her teeth chattered, and she leaned over and stretched out her hand in the cold wind, as if it would be good to hold him a little earlier.

But he gritted his teeth, and finally did not reach out to her. He gripped the ground hard, rested for a moment, and then jumped up in a hurry.

Gu Xiaomeng withdrew his stiff hand. She couldn't believe it and saw his bloody appearance. She didn't blame him for not forgiving her in the end—she knew he would never reconcile with Shan Jiquan again.
