It's good to exchange marriages. My sister eats coarse food while I wear gold and silver.

"Hmph, you stinky bitch, let's see where you can escape to!"

Meng Qiongyue turned her head and saw that Wang Yang and others had caught up with her.

During the fight just now, she was unfortunately not injured and was preparing to retreat.

But they kept chasing us.

It was dark and I was unfamiliar with the terrain.

When Meng Qiongyue reached the edge of the cliff, she realized that she had gone in the opposite direction of the capital.

"Don't waste your time talking to her, catch her alive."

At Wang Yang's command, all ten of his men rushed forward at once.

Meng Qiongyue was horrified. She watched the ten men approaching for a moment, then turned around and jumped off the cliff.

It's better to fall to death than to be caught by them.

"Brother, she, she jumped off the cliff."

Scar Brother didn't expect Meng Qiongyue to be so strong-willed. He looked down the cliff in the moonlight, but couldn't see anything clearly.

Wang Yang slowly walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down a few times: "The cliff here is at least ten meters high. If she falls down, she will definitely be smashed into a paste. This place is no longer safe. Go back to the ruined temple to pack up and move immediately."

"Yes."

The group quickly cleaned up. Before leaving, Wang Yang turned his head and glanced at the ruined temple: "Burn it down. Don't leave any traces behind."

"clear."

Less than an incense stick of time after Wang Yang and his men left, Li Yan and others saw the fire and rushed over.

Shangguan Que looked at the flames rising into the sky. When he got off his horse, his legs went weak and he fell to his knees on the ground.

My hand just happened to touch something.

He immediately picked it up, wiped it with his hand, and almost burst into tears: "Bracelet, this is the bracelet I gave to Qiong Yue, could Qiong Yue be in it? Qiong Yue..."

"Shangguan Que, calm down."

The moment Shangguan Que rushed forward, Li Yan quickly hugged him and said, "How can you be sure that Qiong Yue is in there just by looking at a bracelet? You have too little confidence in her. The rest of you, go look for General Meng immediately and don't miss any corner."

"This is my mother's legacy. She always wore it. Now I see the bracelet, but I can't see her. She's not in it. Where could she be?" The firelight illuminated Shangguan Que's face full of fear. "She promised me, she promised me."

"These are just your guesses. I don't believe that Qiong Yue will be burned to death in there." Li Yan's face was solemn. He turned around and ordered people to start putting out the fire.

Half an hour later.

The fire in the ruined temple was put out, but everything was basically burned down.

"Deputy General Li, several charred bodies were found here."

Shangguan Que, who was waiting, jumped up and staggered forward when he heard this.

"Recently, many girls have gone missing in the capital. Take these bodies back and examine them to see if they are the missing girls."

"Qiong Yue, Qiong Yue."

Li Yan turned his head and saw Shangguan Que holding a charred corpse, crying: "Qiong Yue, I know I was wrong. As long as you wake up, I will never be petty with you again. I will listen to you. Open your eyes and look at me."

"Shangguan Que, this person is burnt beyond recognition, how can you be sure she is Qiongyue?" Li Yan was already worried about Meng Qiongyue's safety, and now he had to keep an eye on Shangguan Que who was about to go crazy. He had always been emotionally stable, but now he was very angry.

"She is Qiong Yue, I recognize her."

Li Yan: ???

"Qiong Yue, open your eyes and look at me, look at me." Shangguan Que fell into his own thoughts, holding the corpse tightly in his arms, silently recounting how they met and got to know each other...

The subordinates who were preparing to collect the bodies looked at Li Yan in confusion.

Li Yan looked at the crazy Shangguan Que, and the next second he walked forward, knelt down, and began to examine the body.

After a moment, he said with certainty: "This is not Qiong Yue."

"You are talking nonsense."

"Shangguan Que, although the corpse is burnt, its height and body shape are wrong. Besides, even if she is Qiong Yue, as long as she has a breath, she will try to crawl out. And this corpse has traces of being tied up with ropes for a long time on her wrists and ankles."

Shangguan Que took a closer look, wiped away the tears on his face, and said with shock: "So, this is not Qiong Yue?"

"Shangguan Que, how do you know she is?"

"It feels like it."

Li Yan has been left speechless several times by Shangguan Que tonight.

"Deputy General Li, we found General Meng's shoes on the cliff ahead."

Shangguan Que, who had just been happy for only three seconds, rolled his eyes and fainted when he heard this.

"Hey, Shangguan Que, wake up."

Li Yan quickly grabbed him and patted his face: "Shangguan Que, you... why are you so timid?"

The subordinates were all dumbfounded and asked weakly, "Deputy General Li, what should we do now?"

"Go find someone first, go down the cliff and look for them."

"Yes."

Li Yan looked at the unconscious Shangguan Que, and thought about putting him on the horse's back, and then leading the horse to the cliff.

Fortunately.

The moment Meng Qiongyue jumped off the cliff, she was hanging on a tree branch.

When she heard the familiar shouts, she immediately called for help.

Finally, he was pulled up by soldiers using ropes.

"You've already escaped death once, why haven't you learned your lesson yet?" Li Yan was furious and threw the unconscious Shangguan Que in front of her without saying a word: "Just now he thought you were burned to death in the ruined temple, and he was crying while holding a corpse."

"what?"

Meng Qiongyue, who had not yet calmed down, was stunned when she saw Shangguan Que lying on the ground beside her.

"I said……"

Li Yan squatted down and looked at Meng Qiongyue seriously: "Shangguan Que, although he has a bad temper, a small mind, and a vicious mouth, his heart and eyes are full of you. As long as you give him a little love, he will be happy as if he got the whole world. I say this not to help him, but I think that it is rare for you to meet someone you like, so don't miss it."

"Li Yan, when you say this, it seems like you missed someone?"

"Who could I miss? Don't talk nonsense." Li Yan glared at Meng Qiongyue. "Take your time and wait for him to wake up before we go. I'll go take a look around first."

"By the way, I heard from Wang Yang..."

Meng Qiongyue told Li Yan what she had heard.

"I said that after what happened last time, you should cherish your life, but I didn't expect it was because of the Shangguan family..."

"The head and second head of the Shangguan family were very kind to me. I just wanted to see where Wang Yang was staying, but I didn't expect that he would set his sights on the Shangguan family." Meng Qiongyue looked down at the unconscious Shangguan Que, "I understand what you said. In fact, I didn't hide from Shangguan Que. I was just afraid that I would bring trouble to the Shangguan family."

"You weren't like this before."

"The past is the past, and the present is the present. Just like what my wife said, if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight; if you want to hold the rose, you must bear its pain. I can't be a heartless person like before. Of course, the most important thing is..." Meng Qiongyue lowered her head and stroked Shangguan Que's face, "I don't want him to worry about me."

Shangguan Que, who had just woken up but pretended to be unconscious, suddenly opened his eyes when he heard this.
