Chapter 52: Falling off the Cliff
Two party warriors in the market town passed by here, saw Le Yiyang on the ground, and wanted to capture him to Tuoba Jiyu to ask for credit. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 At this moment, a carriage came from the side of the road, and the two were startled and hurriedly dispersed. It was Mei Jiutong and others sitting in the car.
The carriage stopped, and Mei Jiutong jumped off the car. The two party warriors recognized him and saluted respectfully. Mei Jiu Channel: "This is exactly the person I am looking for, please leave him to me to deal with." The samurai said, "Master Mei, this person is the enemy of the general, and we may not be able to obey our fate." Mei Jiu Channel: "How can you stop the person that Taiwei Du wants?" The two glanced at each other and said, "Master Mei, I have offended." After speaking, he swung his knife and attacked Mei Jiutong.
The two of them were mediocre in martial arts, Mei Jiutong dodged a knife sideways, grabbed a person's arm, and pushed forward, only to hear a crisp sound, the man's shoulder joint had been dislocated, Mei Jiutong turned the man to his chest and pushed forward, and the party warrior behind raised the knife to his head, and found that his companion rushed towards him, and hurriedly threw away the knife in his hand, and the two hugged each other and fell to the ground. Mei Jiutong walked forward, put a knife against the chest of the two of them, and said: "Go back and tell your Tuoba general, our Taiwei Du said that he is not allowed to step into Kaifeng Mansion for half a step, otherwise he will be killed!"
The two of them glared angrily, knowing that their martial arts were invincible, and they left in a huff.
Mei Jiutong helped Le Yiyang to the carriage, and Zhai Jingyue and Cuixin hurriedly moved away to make room for him. Cui Xin saw Le Yiyang and said happily: "Le Gongzi, it's really you." Le Yiyang smiled and nodded, and said to Mei Jiutong: "It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, those two will truthfully report to Tuoba Ji after they go back, and we will take a detour to avoid the party members." ”
Mei Jiutong agreed with him, and waved his horsewhip to drive the car to the side road on the side of the avenue. Le Yiyang rested for a while, and then combined the events of that day in the capital. Cui Xin opened her mouth in surprise, admiring Le Yiyang's narrow behavior. Zhai Jingyue pouted and said, "Young Master Le, you can make our family miserable." Talking about Mei Jiutong's resignation as the head catcher, he talked about it in detail. After listening to this, Le Yiyang was full of apologies for Mei Jiutong in his heart.
Mei Jiutong said while driving the car: "Brother Le, the court is extremely dark now, Mei has long wanted to go to the rivers and lakes, but he has never had the opportunity. This time, the farewell building was seized by Du Chongwei for no reason, and the two girls Zhai Jingyue and Cuixin were helpless, so they made up their minds to leave the capital. Le Yiyang replied: "Brother Mei, you knew about the prison robbery in advance, but you didn't mean to make it difficult for us. With this alone, the little brother already owes you a favor. Today you saved me from danger, and my little brother is really grateful, and he will do his best to repay me one day. Mei Jiu Channel: "You and I are brothers, why do you need to say thank you." Now that we are not out of danger, the two girls still need our care, and we need to be cautious in everything. Le Yiyang said: "What Brother Mei said is extremely true. Tuoba Jiyu's whereabouts are uncertain, and this time he went north, not knowing what happened. ”
Zhai Jingyue and Cui Xin sat in the car, and the two of them were thinking about their own thoughts. Zhai Jingyue listened to Mei Jiutong's previous words, and knew that he had himself in his heart after all, and he couldn't help but be secretly proud at this time. Cui Xin sat next to Le Yiyang, watching him look out the window, not knowing what he was thinking, with the girl's intuition, she guessed that he was worried about the safety of Lai Jiyun. Since Le Yiyang was separated from Lai Jiyun, he crossed the Yellow River all the way north, although he was in danger, he was accompanied by a few friends. Lai Jiyun left Weizhou, crossed the mountains and mountains, and traveled for more than half a month, I don't know if he returned to Youyun Villa. The hardships here are only known to Lai Jiyun himself. Thinking of this, Le Yiyang secretly glanced at Cui Xin, sighed secretly in his heart, and thought, "If Yun'er was by his side now, how good it would be." ”
Cui Xin seemed to understand Le Yiyang's thoughts, and said softly: "Le Gongzi, Xin'er is willing to stay by your side for the rest of your life." Le Yiyang heard her sweet voice and thought, "How nice it would be for me to have such a sister!" and smiled and said, "Sister Xin, what do you say? Cuixin heard him call herself full of love, bowed her head shyly, and said, "I don't want to leave you." If you want to marry, you will only marry ......" Speaking of this, she looked at Le Yiyang with affection, and she was so flustered that she couldn't speak.
Zhai Jingyue smiled: "My silly sister, if you don't say it now, it will be difficult to say it in the future." Cui Xin listened, looked at Le Yiyang with big eyes, her cheeks were slightly red, and said, "Le Gongzi, Sister Zhai made fun of me." Le Yiyang said: "Sister Xin, let's talk about the matter between us later." Cuixin let out a "hmm", bit her lip, looked up at Le Yiyang, and didn't speak. Mei Jiutong listened to the conversation of the three people in the car, and the horsewhip in his hand became more and more powerful.
The crowd traveled more than ten miles, bypassing seven or eight hills, and the road became narrower and narrower, and the carriage could not pass. The crowd had to dismount. Mei Jiutong and Le Yiyang drew their swords and the other used their swords, freeing the horses from the cart.
Mei Jiutong brought the horse over and said, "Jingyue, Cuixin, hurry up and get on the horse, we still have to hurry." Cui Xin was reluctant to get on the horse and said, "Sister Zhai, you sit on the horse alone." I'm going to walk with Le Gongzi. Le Yi said: "Sister Xin, don't make trouble, the mountain road here is rugged, and your feet are there." Cui Xin still insisted on walking. Zhai Jingyue said: "Le Gongzi, it seems that you don't understand my sister's temper, she is good at everything, but her personality is too stubborn, and she will not let go of what she believes." After saying that, he climbed on the horse alone.
Mei Jiutong led the horse, turned around and smiled: "Brother Le, Miss Cuixin will ask you." Le Yiyang sighed and responded, "That's nature, you go first, and we'll follow." Mei Jiutong and Zhai Jingyue walked quickly in front, Le Yiyang and Cuixin slowly moved behind, and after a while, the two pairs of people opened up a large distance.
After a while, the sky gradually darkened. Mei Jiutong said to Zhai Jingyue: "It's not early, this place is still far from the town, and we can only rest in the mountains tonight." Zhai Jingyue raised her head, looked at the mountains in the distance, and said, "I don't see a single house here, it seems that we have to sleep overnight." Zhai Jingyue looked back and looked back, and could no longer see the figures of Le Yiyang and Cuixin, and said softly: "Jiutong, you can also get on the horse, I am uncomfortable sitting alone." ”
Mei Jiutong has long been deeply affectionate to Zhai Jingyue, and this time she went out of Beijing and took care of her in every way along the way. At the beginning, because of the identity of the head catcher, I was worried that falling in love with her would affect the reputation of Kaifeng Mansion, but now I am relaxed after leaving the mansion, but I don't know if Zhai Jingyue can accept herself, and then I thought of the precept that men and women do not kiss, so naturally I didn't dare to rashly cross the rules, but just said: "Jingyue, I'm afraid this is not in line with etiquette." Zhai Jingyue thought to herself: "Could it be that the woman he likes is not me, then who will she be?" ”
Mei Jiutong was helpless and said: "That's right, Brother Le and Jingyue are still behind, if you are afraid, get off the horse and rest for a while, and when they arrive, we will not be too late to set off." Zhai Jingyue said with a slight annoyance: "You are really a wooden man, I don't bother to pay attention to you." If you don't go, I'll go!" After saying that, he slapped the horse's back fiercely, and the horse was suddenly frightened and ran madly to the side of the road.
Seeing this, Mei Jiutong was worried about Zhai Jingyue's safety, and flew forward to stop it, but he didn't expect that the horse was full of strength and was running much faster than usual at the moment. Mei Jiutong chased all the way for two or three miles, and saw a cliff in front of him, and the horse did not know the height of the sky, and there was no trace of stopping. Zhai Jingyue saw Mei Jiutong chasing all the way, then he knew that he cared about her in his heart, at first he still had a smug look, after a while, seeing the horse running towards the cliff, he couldn't help but be frightened in his heart, while pulling the reins, he cried and shouted: "Jiutong, this horse is crazy, come and save me." ”
By this time the horses had reached the cliff, and there was no bottom at the bottom of the cliff. The horse didn't have time to stop, and with a long roar, leaned down the cliff. Mei Jiutong heard Zhai Jingyue's cry for help, and couldn't bear to let her beloved woman die under the cliff, so she sped up her pace and ran to the edge of the cliff, rushing forward desperately, just grabbing Zhai Jingyue's calf on the horse's back. The horse fell towards the cliff, and Mei Jiutong was also pushed down the cliff by a strong pull. Mei Jiutong hurriedly stabbed the knife on his body into the cliff, only to see that the tip of the knife was flashed with bursts of sparks, and a deep furrow was drawn out of the cliff. The two of them slid down four or five feet before they stopped.
Zhai Jingyue was facing down at this time, her eyes were covered by her dress, she slowly removed the obstacle with her hands, only to see the light mist lingering below, bottomless, she panicked in her heart, and shouted loudly: "Jiutong, are we under the cliff?" Mei Jiutong clenched the big knife and instructed: "Jingyue, don't be afraid, as long as I live, I won't let you get hurt." At this time, a cold wind blew, Zhai Jingyue shivered, shaking her hair to pieces, and the golden hairpin on her head fell down, and after a long time, she heard a slight echo. Mei Jiutong was slightly frightened in his heart, thinking that this cliff did not know how deep it was, and he was afraid that he would be crushed if he fell. He looked up, and if he was alone at this time, he might have escaped by chance.
At this time, Zhai Jingyue gradually couldn't support it, and said, "Jiutong, you let go of your hand and let me fall." Mei Jiutong was silent, holding the handle of the knife embedded in the stone crack with her left hand, and lifting her body upwards with her right hand. Zhai Jingyue's body gradually rose, she slowly reversed her body, and finally hugged Mei Jiutong tightly.
Mei Jiutong said: "Jingyue, here is still a few feet away from the top of the cliff, when you step on my shoulder, I will use internal force to throw you up." Remember to hold on to it when you go up and don't fall it off again. Zhai Jingyue thought to herself, if Brother Mei used all his internal strength to let himself go up, he would definitely lose his physical strength and fall into the cliff. Rather than this, it is better for the two of them to fall off a cliff together and die together. Mei Jiutong saw her hesitation and said, "Jingyue, the situation is urgent, don't hesitate any longer." With that, he moved her vigorously onto his shoulder. Zhai Jingyue struggled hard and said, "Jiutong, I don't want one person to go up, I want to go up to both of them." If you don't go up, I won't go up either, and we'll die together. ”
Mei Jiutong sighed: "Jingyue, the matter has come to this, it's only because I'm a shallow learner, and I haven't learned my master's superior martial arts, otherwise, how can I even involve my beloved woman to fall off the cliff with me." When he said this, his eyes looked up at the top of the mountain, and he thought that he would not escape today, and every word came from the bottom of his heart. After hearing this, Zhai Jingyue was full of joy, and regardless of the danger, she said softly: "Jiutong, you finally said it." If you had said you liked me earlier, why did I leave in anger just now?"
Mei Jiudao: "Jingyue, it's all my fault." Zhai Jingyue hugged him quietly, and said with a smile: "Jiutong, if it weren't for this, I might not know your mind until I die." At this time, the handle embedded in the crack of the stone could not bear the weight of the two people, and it had begun to slowly relax, Mei Jiutong was secretly frightened, and while carrying the strength to the left palm, he comforted: "Jingyue, I Mei Jiutong owes you in this life, and I will pay it back in the next life." Zhai Jingyue had already put away her smile, looked down at the bottomless valley under her feet, and was terrified in her heart.
The two of them were about to be unable to support it, when the shouts of the two came from the top of the cliff, Jingyue's heart suddenly lit up, and she shouted: "Is it Cuixin, my sister is under the cliff!" Mei Jiutong screamed sadly, and the handle of the knife on the cliff was suddenly broken by his internal force, and he fell to the bottom of the cliff together.
