The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple
Chapter 304 Both Falling off the Cliff
I didn't expect the old man's Qinggong was so good. Even Wen Rulan was at most as good as him, but his internal strength seemed to be average, otherwise he wouldn't have noticed someone breaking into the cave until just now.
Wen Rulan made a mistake and the old man took the initiative and held Chu Yunxi hostage. He and Xiao Mubei both froze there, not daring to act rashly.
"Are you from the Dali Temple? You are amazing to have found this place." The old man spoke in a hoarse voice.
Xiao Mubei said sternly, "Who are you? Helping Zhao Yuzhi to kidnap the princess, do you know that this is a capital crime?"
Although the old man's hair was half white, he had regular features and must have been very handsome when he was young.
At this moment, he grinned and said, "Death penalty? Anyway, your government has already charged me with a lot of crimes, so I don't care about this one more."
Xiao Mubei's mind moved, and he said in a deep voice: "Are you Wei Zhe'an?"
"Hahaha..." The old man's laughter echoed in the cave, sounding extremely strange. "I didn't expect that after all these years, there is still someone who remembers my name, and it's still a young man. Let me guess, you should be the current Dali Temple Minister, Dingbei King Xiao Mubei, right? Is this your princess?"
Wei Zhe'an looked down at Chu Yunxi in front of him, then looked at Xiao Mubei and nodded, "It's true that they are a handsome man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven."
Xiao Mubei thought that the man in front of him was a pervert who had committed more than 70 crimes, and at this moment his hand was still on Chu Yunxi's neck. He couldn't help but feel extremely angry. He arranged for people from the Dali Temple to go to the Four Elephants Mountain in southern Xinjiang to capture him, but he never thought that he would come to the capital.
Judging from the furnishings in this cave, it must have been lived here for more than just a day or two.
"Wei Zhe'an, you have committed many evil deeds. If you hadn't hidden yourself in a cave and become a coward, how could the Dali Temple have let you get away with it until now?"
Wei Zhe'an laughed loudly, "If the Dali Temple is incompetent, then don't make other excuses. I haven't moved from Sixiang Mountain in all these years, and I've never seen anyone go up the mountain to investigate."
"Don't say these meaningless words. Release the princess and come back with me to confess your crime and accept punishment." Xiao Mubei looked at Chu Yunxi, feeling anxious and secretly clenching his fists.
Wei Zhe'an snorted coldly, "Why should I go back with you? As long as you can catch me, I will let you do whatever you want. If you can't catch me, then just blame yourself for not being capable enough."
Xiao Mubei knew that his lightness skills were outstanding and far beyond the reach of Zhao Tingyu, Yu Xi and others. It was no wonder that he was arrogant. Over the years, the imperial court had sent many people to capture him, but none of them had succeeded.
Thinking of this, he said to Wen Rulan: "Brother, this person's martial arts skills are average, but his Qinggong is unique."
Wen Rulan had suffered a loss once, so she knew what was going on. She said, "Don't worry, I'm here."
The two did not avoid Wei Zhe'an when they spoke, and Wei Zhe'an sneered, "You are overestimating your own abilities."
He held Chu Yunxi hostage and led her back step by step. Chu Yunxi was strangled by the neck and had to follow him step by step. She was extremely anxious because she knew that behind her was the cliff where she almost fell just now. Wei Zhe'an had just saved her there. She knew that with Wei Zhe'an's lightness skills, the cliff would be no problem for him at all. If she reached there, she was afraid that he would really slip away from under her nose again.
So she said, "Hey, your name is Wei Zhe'an, right? You just saved me on the cliff over there, and I haven't thanked you yet."
Wei Zhe'an chuckled, "Little girl, I know you want to remind them that there is a cliff over there. You are quite smart, but I am not stupid. I told you that if your husband doesn't want you to live and doesn't cooperate, then you can't blame me. Just accept your fate."
Chu Yunxi said, "You've spent half your life hiding. Aren't you tired of that? Look at how you have to live in this dark place every day. It's the same in southern Xinjiang, right? You might as well plead guilty. You haven't killed anyone, so you shouldn't be sentenced to death. You can be put in jail for a few years and start over when you get out... cough."
"Shut up." Wei Zhe'an was a little upset by what Chu Yunxi said. He couldn't help but increase the strength of his hands, pinching Chu Yunxi so hard that her tongue stuck out and she could no longer speak.
"Stop!" Xiao Mubei was so scared that he almost lost his soul, fearing that Wei Zhe'an's men would accidentally break Chu Yunxi's neck.
Wei Zhe'an loosened his grip slightly. He was now only five or six steps away from the cliff. This cliff was a cave within a cave of Longyu Mountain. The entire belly of the mountain was a big cave with many small caves hidden inside. The cliff was bottomless and no one knew what was below.
"Wei Zhe'an, if you release the princess, I will let you go." Xiao Mubei didn't dare to bet with Chu Yunxi's life.
Wei Zhe'an shouted, "I don't believe you. You didn't release Zhao Tingyu as promised. I promised Zhao Yuzhi that your princess would suffer the same fate as his son. I can't break my promise."
"Wait..." Xiao Mubei shouted anxiously, but Wei Zhe'an tiptoed and quickly retreated to the edge of the cliff with Chu Yunxi. He turned around and threw Chu Yunxi down, then jumped up from the edge of the cliff.
He moved extremely fast this time. Wen Rulan moved immediately after he moved, but still couldn't stop him in time. Xiao Mubei shouted and instantly rushed to the edge of the cliff. He stretched out his hand to grab something, but got nothing, so he jumped down without hesitation.
"Your Highness!" Hei Mu arrived shortly afterwards, but was too late to stop Xiao Mubei. He only saw the faint light of the tinderbox sinking rapidly and gradually disappearing into the darkness.
It was already dawn outside and there was some faint light in the cave. Wen Rulan chased Wei Zhe'an upwards. This was what he had just agreed with Xiao Mubei. Xiao Mubei would save Chu Yunxi and he would be responsible for catching Wei Zhe'an. This time, they had to bring this big pervert to justice no matter what.
So although Wen Rulan was extremely anxious when she saw Chu Yunxi being thrown down, she still gritted her teeth and chose to chase Wei Zhe'an.
At this moment, Hei Mu was the only one left on the cliff. He looked up and then down, anxious like a trapped beast. He walked back and forth on the cliff several times. Suddenly, he remembered that Qing Mei was still outside the cave, so he ran out quickly.
After finding Qingmei, Hei Mu didn't have time to explain anything to her. He grabbed her and walked towards the cave. He put her on the edge of the cliff and said hurriedly: "The prince and princess have fallen down. I will go back and call people to find a way to go down the cliff to find them. You stay here and don't leave. If the prince and princess come up, make sure they wait here for me. I will be back soon."
Qingmei was almost frightened when she heard this. Hei Mu shook her hard and said loudly, "Did you hear that?"
Qingmei nodded hurriedly, tears rolling down her cheeks. She looked down the cliff, it was pitch black, she couldn't see anything. She didn't know what had happened to the prince and princess now? Were they alive or dead? Qingmei knelt down on the edge of the cliff and began to pray.
