Men are superior to women: the heartthrob in Yunqi

The morning light is just breaking, and the sky is full of bright clouds.

Within a ten-mile radius of the top of Purple Cloud, the Guards and Imperial Army were conducting the final deployment inspection in an orderly manner.

Xu Yuanming and others looked around the rugged and steep mountain road, feeling worried.

It is extremely disadvantageous for them to rescue people in this place.

Ziyun Mountain is different from other mountains. It stretches for several miles and has sparse vegetation. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a stone mountain.

The 50,000-strong Guards and Imperial Guards had to retreat to the plains behind the mountains several miles away and wait for battle. Only a few of the leading troops hid in the surrounding areas using camouflage.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, Prince Zhan, aren't there too few people lying in ambush here?" Liu Baichuan couldn't help but ask. If they really fought to the death, it would be too late when the reinforcements arrived.

A strong feeling of helplessness surged into Ye Qinghan's heart, and his eyes revealed a strong unwillingness without any concealment: "Old Master Liu, this place is too empty. If we send more people, it may be dangerous."

Ye Lianhe said in annoyance, "The thieves are cunning. They chose to exchange people in this barren land, which shows how cunning they are and how evil their intentions are. It is clearly written in black and white on the letter that only one person is allowed to take Miss Mu to exchange people. Look at how many people we have now? Aren't you worried that when the Bloodthirsty Pavilion sees that we have breached the contract, they will directly kill your precious son and Wang Yan?" He has been angry all night. He has a large number of troops but no place to use them. What is the difference between this and using scrap metal as weapons?

Because of the panic, Liu Baichuan, after being pointed out by the two people, repeatedly said yes.

He was calm when we talked yesterday, but he was nervous today. His wife passed away many years ago, and he and his son depend on each other for survival. Although the child has a perverse personality and always likes to go against him, he is his only child. What if something unexpected happens... He dare not think about it anymore.

Li Changan leaned over to him and said calmly, "Don't worry, my old friend. The two children will come back safely. Why don't you go to the side and have a rest, drink a cup of hot tea, and think about what I said. Is this true?"

Liu Baichuan was somewhat surprised by his words and said unhappily, "My friend, I see you look calm and composed, not worried about your own daughter!"

Li Changan just smiled and said nothing. He glanced at the old man in his heart: pedantic! Why should he be so anxious! When Wuming becomes his son-in-law, it won't be a big deal for him to go to Tianxia No. 1 Village to apologize in person. Now it depends on whether his daughter is willing. This child is stubborn, and she needs to be persuaded. He always advocates doing twice the result with half the effort. In his opinion, there is nothing wrong with Wuming, it's just that he met him at the wrong time.

Seeing Li Changan's confident look, Liu Baichuan calmed down a bit. The old man was right. He needed to take a break, have a drink and think carefully.

Li Changan looked back at the couple cuddling not far away. The warm picture was hard to break. He felt bad. Although he was single and had never had a wife, nor had he experienced the most beautiful feeling, he understood this sincere love. The moon waxes and wanes, and the water overflows. He hoped that Qingcheng could wake up soon and make this love and marriage more perfect.

Xu Qingcheng hugged Mu Yao and looked at the winding mountains, which were stacked and intertwined, like a huge golden dragon crawling in the mountains. The hesitation and powerlessness between his eyebrows made Mu Yao want to speak several times, but she found that all the words were so pale and unable to express. She just kept telling herself in her heart that she had to come back today no matter what.

Shen Zhixue hid in Helian Juzheng's arms and wiped her tears. She silently watched Mu Yao and Xu Qingcheng for a long time. The backs of these two people reminded her of her son who had been through the gates of hell.

Helian Juzheng looked up at the sky in silence, worrying about how to persuade his wife to go back. Look at the eldest princess, she knows her limits, unlike the one in his arms, who has no force, no courage, and only has a stubborn temper, which he only uses on him. He will hand her over soon, and his wife is still crying in his arms, what should he do! But he can't say a harsh word, which is really frustrating.

"The people from the Bloodthirsty Pavilion are coming. If a fight breaks out, I may not be able to protect you. Are you planning to marry someone else?"

"What are you talking about!" Shen Zhixue stopped crying immediately after hearing that and stared at him with tearful eyes.

"Then what are you still doing here! Go back quickly. Those who will come soon are all desperate killers. I can hardly protect myself, let alone you. Do you think my life is too long?" Helian Juzheng was extremely anxious. He raised his right hand tremblingly. As a last resort, he had to knock her unconscious.

Helian Juzheng's martial arts skills were unfathomable, and his son's martial arts skills were inherited from him. Now that she had been told several times that she couldn't protect herself, Shen Zhixue immediately panicked: "You - will die?"

This time Helian Juzheng was really angry with his wife: "If you don't leave, your husband will really die, and die miserably, I am not joking with you."

After some extreme tug-of-war, Helian Juzheng finally sent the giant Buddha away. Li Changan looked at his useless appearance from the corner of his eye and secretly felt lucky.

A cloud-piercing arrow resounded through the sky.

In an instant, everyone became highly alert and ready for action.

Suddenly, hundreds of steel arrows fell from the sky like a violent storm and firmly penetrated into the cliff on the hill where they lived. Only one black arrow pierced through the rain of arrows and hit directly at a place ten feet below Li Ye Qinghan's feet.

Xu Qingcheng stepped forward and pulled out the arrow, carefully pulling off the paper on it. Just as she was about to open it, she heard Xu Yuanming cough lightly, and he paused, pressed his lips and handed the paper to Ye Qinghan.

The few numbers on the paper were so exciting that Ye Qinghan almost crushed it.

Seeing his face was as gloomy as ink, Xu Qingcheng hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, what did the Bloodthirsty Pavilion say?"

"They asked one of us to take Lady Mu to the Lingshui Spring on the other side of the mountain." Ye Qinghan gritted his teeth and said. All the efforts and careful planning of the few of them were in vain.

"That means they have been secretly monitoring us, and our deployment has been exposed. The rain of arrows before the time has come is their warning to us. If they notice our actions again, it may be bad for Lord Wang and Master Liu." Mu Yao slowly stepped forward and analyzed carefully.

Xu Yuanming nodded in agreement and said, "That makes sense. It seems we should not act rashly again."

"I'll go with A-Yao." Xu Qingcheng said loudly. He wanted to meet that person.

"No! Anyone can go, except you!" Tutor Li stopped him decisively, his tone not allowing any objection.

How could Xu Qingcheng be willing to accept this! Xu Yuanming spoke up: "Your father-in-law is right, Qingcheng, listen to your father-in-law."

"I'll go." Helian Juzheng stepped forward and said.

"My martial arts skills are decent, and I have no weaknesses in their hands. Why don't I take Yaoyao with me?"

Ye Qinghan and Ye Lianhe nodded slightly, and after repeated consideration, they decided that Senior Helian was indeed the most suitable candidate.

After thinking it over, Master Li felt that it was inappropriate. He suggested, "Thank you, my dear relatives, but I will take Yaoyao with me. Although I don't know martial arts, it will be safer than any of you going."

Everyone's expression froze. After thinking carefully, they couldn't find any words to refute.

Mu Yao agreed with her father's proposal and said firmly: "My father is right. I believe that the Bloodthirsty Pavilion will definitely not embarrass my father."

"Ayao!" Xu Qingcheng called him anxiously. A feeling of powerlessness and helplessness he had never experienced before filled his whole body, as if he had been struck by lightning, with numbness and soreness touching his heart.

Mu Yao stepped forward and hugged his waist, whispering in his ear: "Give me some time, I will be back soon. Trust me!"

Ye Qinghan wanted to send someone down the mountain to take them to the "Lingshui Spring", but was stopped by Li Taifu. He was worried that it would arouse the suspicion of the Bloodthirsty Pavilion, so he walked to the destination step by step with Mu Yao.

Li Taifu was old and his legs were not very flexible. He walked for nearly four and a half hours, taking half a break and half a walk, to cover a distance that took nearly two hours.

The Bloodthirsty Pavilion did not make things difficult for them and allowed them to walk leisurely.

Until the sunset was picturesque and the evening glow was intoxicating, the two finally arrived at the "Lingshui Spring".

Han Qi had not expected that it would be Li Taifu who brought Mu Yao with him. During their journey, he had hesitated for several times whether to send someone to greet them, but he soon gave up the idea. This woman should be made to suffer a little, so that she would learn her lesson.

Having said that, he still cared about the old man's opinion, so he chose to hide in the dark and let Lu Shen go to pick him up instead.

As for why it was Lu Shen and not someone else, firstly, he had met Lady Mu once before. Secondly, among all the killers, only he had decent emotional intelligence, unlike Zhuo Wangshu, who was a cold killing machine and was very frugal with words.

Mu Yao recognized the silver sword on the man's waist, which was emitting a dazzling light under the afterglow of the setting sun.

Lu Shen saw the lady from a distance. Today she was not wearing a veil, revealing her pretty face. When he approached, his steps seemed to carry a thousand pounds.

The beauty he saw up close was even more stunning than the one he caught a glimpse of on his wedding day. He unconsciously grasped the silver sword at his waist, seeking a fulcrum in his heart.

"Lady Mu, Master Li." Lu Shen bowed respectfully. The black robe outlined his figure, which was broad in shoulders and narrow in waist, and as handsome as a pine tree. The fierce murderous aura was gone, but there was an incredible gentleness.

"Where are Lord Wang and Master Liu?" Mu Yao saw that he came alone and did not see anyone else.

Lu Shen said as kindly as possible: "Don't worry, my lady. They are fine. I will take you there right away."

They passed through layers of dense forests, with mottled shadows of bamboo, and unknowingly dived into the depths.

The fresh fragrance of bamboo leaves in the air could not completely conceal the murderous aura lurking around.

Mu Yao observed the movements around her vigilantly. She was sure that there must be many assassins lying in ambush in the forest, and the number of them might be a number that she could not imagine.

"Dad, no matter what happens, you must not leave me." Mu Yao said worriedly.

Only by going deep into the hinterland can one feel the kind of soul-shaking fear. All her speculations seemed like the setting sun, slowly sinking into the west, and suddenly becoming uncertain. She still underestimated the fear that man brought to her.

Li Taifu followed closely behind him with a calm and confident step. At this moment, the word "stable" was the key. He was actually looking forward to meeting "Wuming".

Several people came to a very hidden cave entrance, which contained a hidden world and a secret passage with a very narrow entrance.

When Mu Yao saw that Lu Shen wanted them to follow him inside, she felt dizzy and turned around, holding onto the stone wall and vomiting heavily.

"Yaoyao, what's wrong with you?" Master Li's face suddenly changed with fright, and he quickly patted her beautiful back gently.

"It's bad, it's bad. There is no doctor here. What should I do!..." Master Li was so anxious that he was talking to himself.

Lu Shen's body was like a pin that stabilized the sea, frozen in place. His eyes were wide open under his black hat, and his handsome face was pale with nervousness.

He clearly remembered that the last time he was on a diplomatic mission, he and Fu Yuan were whipped thirty times because they failed to complete their mission. Now that they have just recovered from their injuries, could they be... again?

"Ms. Mu, you..." He felt his breathing become a little faster.

"Dad, don't worry, my daughter is fine. No need to see a doctor, I can do it myself..." After saying that, she vomited twice in a row.

She has claustrophobia. When she was a child, she almost had an accident while flying on a private plane. After that, she developed this problem. She doesn't have such a big reaction to all confined spaces, but she is particularly afraid of this kind of low secret passage that is so narrow that only one person can pass through.

After she briefly explained the cause of her illness to her father and Lu Shen, endless silence filled the cave.

Lu Shen said in embarrassment: "My lady, this narrow path is actually only about twenty feet long. After crossing it, there will be a wide area."

Master Li didn’t care about twenty or thirty feet, even one foot wouldn’t do.

He supported Mu Yao and let her half lean against the wall of the cave. He stood up and walked to Lu Shen, holding back his anger and said, "Your Excellency has also seen that my daughter is in a very bad condition. We have walked such a long way to get here, but we didn't expect to not see her and have to go through layers of barriers. I don't understand, why do you have to do this! If I were to say, your Pavilion Master is too..." He forced himself to swallow the words "a piece of shit" back into his stomach.

"Too cautious!"

"I don't know martial arts, my daughter is a woman, and there is no one to help her. Why do you have to embarrass us, an old man and a young girl?"

"We won't leave. My daughter can't go through that passage. Ask your Pavilion Master to bring the person here as agreed. We'll change the person here."

Li Taifu was filled with anger. He couldn't lose his temper, and couldn't curse. He was so depressed that he almost exploded and died. This "nameless" had a terrible temper. When Yaoyao took him in and became his son-in-law, she would definitely smooth out his sharp edges!

Lu Shen was as stiff as a steel pillar, with three thousand crows flying chaotically across his forehead.

After three breaths, he saw that Mu Yao's face was still as pale as paper. He couldn't bear it anymore and said in a gentle voice: "My lady, Master, please wait here for a moment."

The moment he finished speaking, he disappeared into the secret passage and disappeared without a trace.

"Dad, I can hold on. Saving people is the most important thing." Mu Yao was still a little confused at the moment, but after vomiting a few times, she felt much better than before.

Master Li pinched her knuckles a few times and asked, "Do you have any medicine with you?"

She still had two Qi Gathering Pills on her. She was busy refining other pills yesterday, so she didn't have many Qi Gathering Pills.

I couldn't help but wave my hands weakly.

"Take it out! Eat it!" Li Changan didn't believe that she didn't have some treasures around her.

Mu Yao reached into her sleeves and suddenly stopped.

"Dad, I'm much better. Let's talk about it when they get here."

Li Taifu thought it made sense. Seeing that she closed her eyes and her complexion had recovered a little, he let her go.
