Chapter 662: Girl, Have You Gone Silly?
Chapter 662: Girl, Have You Gone Silly?
Ahead, a cliff appeared.
The cliff was very, very deep, with no bottom in sight!
On the cliff, the cold wind was biting, as sharp as a knife!
"Only this way will you be safe!"
He whispered.
The mountain wind was all around, and besides the two of them speaking so closely, no one else could hear them.
Long Yue could no longer speak, she just nestled by his side.
"Below is a lake, you won’t die. I will inject a stream of cold-resistant True Qi into your body, so you won’t freeze."
Long Yue just smiled faintly.
"Leave here, never come back, go!"
These were his last words, and then Long Yue felt a strange force being injected into her body. Was this the True Qi he mentioned?
And then, she was struck on the back by this man, falling off the cliff...
Li Qingmu watched the clouds roll by on the mountain peak, watching her gradually disappear into the white mist. His eyes once again held a hint of blood!
Pushing the one he loved most into the abyss with his own hands, his heart was no less painful? It was a pain beyond words!
But this was the only way to survive!
Just like him back then!
He slowly closed his eyes, suppressed the emotions in his heart, and when he opened his eyes again, they were filled with coldness.
He turned over onto his horse and rode away galloping.
Shortly after he left, a dark shadow also departed. This person was Lu Zhi’s confidant. He was very fast, running along a small path back to the camp, coming to Lu Zhi’s side.
"How did it go?"
At this moment, Lu Zhi was drinking, with a woman in his arms. This woman was one of the few doing well in the military camp, and she looked quite attractive.
Seeing the person come in, she sensibly got up and withdrew.
"General, the Eldest Young Master pushed that woman off the cliff!"
Lu Zhi’s hand paused slightly with a look of surprise: "Did he really do it?"
"Yes!"
"A thousand-zhang cliff... going down there would be shattering to pieces, no, not even bone fragments would remain, surely there are wild animals there!"
"Indeed!"
"So, did he talk to the woman?"
"Well... the mountain wind was too loud over there for the subordinate to hear, but after pushing her off, the Eldest Young Master stood for a while before leaving."
"Oh..." Lu Zhi responded blandly, automatically filling in the gaps, "Heh, was he watching the woman’s last moments of struggling in pain? The Eldest Young Master’s temper is becoming more violent and odd."
"General?"
"That’s enough, nothing more, you can leave now!"
Lu Zhi waved him off to exit.
Then he got up to find Li Qingmu.
Li Qingmu had already returned, bathed, changed clothes, and treated his wounds, wearing a loose robe, he lay half-reclined on the soft couch, resting with closed eyes.
Lu Zhi came in, saluted, and asked, "Your Highness, are you tired?"
"Mm!" Li Qingmu responded indifferently, "A bit tired. That woman looks delicate, arouses one’s wildness, hmph, but actually, she isn’t simple, luckily this Young Master has superior skills, didn’t let her succeed!"
Lu Zhi nodded, "This woman is indeed a beauty, easy to let one’s guard down, the Eldest Young Master not being seriously injured this time is indeed a blessing."
Li Qingmu chuckled quietly, suddenly saying, "Lu Zhi, I’m a bit regretful now, why did I kill her?"
Lu Zhi was slightly stunned, yeah, did you just realize this now?
"The Eldest Young Master was very angry at the time, I assume, in a fit of rage therefore..."
"Oh, really? It seems I should change my temper, you say, living and spoiling such a beauty, shouldn’t have done that! If I had severed her tendons and ligaments back then, giving her to the men below, wouldn’t it have been great?"
Lu Zhi inwardly complained, Eldest Young Master, you just thought of this? Don’t you know many soldiers have complaints about your actions?
Also, this temper of yours can’t be changed, can it?
So, they chatted about other matters, and Lu Zhi left.
Not that Li Qingmu drove him away, he left on his own, feeling that chatting further with Li Qingmu could make him die from frustration.
This person speaks too annoyingly, doesn’t he?
Who doesn’t know the hindsight? Saying this now just makes others feel miserable, doesn’t it?
Watching Lu Zhi’s visibly frustrated look, Li Qingmu chuckled softly, but the smile contained no warmth, only endless coldness and killing intent!
...
Cold, so cold!
No, suddenly there’s warmth!
Where is this? Am I dead? Heaven? Or is it Hell?
Long Yue’s consciousness gradually returned, she dazedly opened her eyes.
"Awake, awake, oh my, this girl finally woke up, worried me to death!"
A familiar voice came from beside her, it was her grandfather, Cao Yin!
Immediately following were other voices, those of Cousin Anxing, Third Young Master Chang Yao, and some other people.
Pain, so much pain!
She felt so much pain in her body!
Before her eyes was a blur, she blinked, and the blur gradually cleared, revealing the surroundings.
This was inside a tent, but much more refined and elegant than a usual one; beside her stood her anxious-looking grandfather and Cousin Anxing.
"You..."
Long Yue was about to speak but found her voice very hoarse, completely unrecognizable as her own, which startled her.
Then, she felt intense pain in her head, her memories still stayed in the endless white mist when Li Qingmu pushed her off the cliff.
"I... what’s wrong with me..."
She croaked.
"Ah—"
A familiar voice came from beside her, and Long Yue looked over to see you’er.
The little one also looked at her with a face full of concern.
"Girl, luckily for you it was you’er this time, otherwise we really couldn’t have found you!"
Cao Yin said, recalling the scene back then, still feeling lingering fear.
When they found her, she was lying by the lake, with a pack of wolves prowling, wanting to eat her, but for some reason, they never went near her.
Cao Yin felt, if they had arrived a little later, Long Yue might have really...
Long Yue rubbed her head, looking at a room full of people, she smiled gently, "Grandfather, I... I’m okay now, thank you for your concern..."
"Hey, how can you say you’re okay? Look at how weak you are, is that what you call okay? By the way, what exactly happened? How did you..."
Cao Yin couldn’t continue because Long Yue just looked at him.
"Cough, cough, I have something to discuss with little Yue, everyone out!"
The fact that Li Qingmu was still alive was something Long Yue had told Cao Yin, and Cao Yin hadn’t told anyone else. At this moment, he wanted to ask Long Yue what happened on her side, did she see him, or what?
Once he spoke, the others knew Cao Yin had something important to ask Long Yue and left one after another.
Once they left, Cao Yin lowered his voice, "Did you see him?"
Long Yue nodded lightly, a faint smile played at the corners of her mouth.
Cao Yin was slightly relieved, then asked, "How did you end up by the lake?"
Long Yue was puzzled, "Lake?"
"Yes, the lake over by Qingjian Road, how did you get there?" This was a question Cao Yin was very curious about.
Long Yue understood that Li Qingmu used his knowledge of the terrain in Dazhou to set up this escape plan, allowing her to escape their clutches easily.
She smiled faintly, "He pushed me off the cliff, hmm, must have drifted down."
Immediately, Cao Yin exploded: "That little bastard pushed you off the thousand-zhang cliff? Damn it, I’ll go kill him!"
"Hey, grandfather, don’t, he... he’s still the same... good to me..."
Long Yue said, smiling foolishly.
Seeing this, Cao Yin was at a loss, tears almost came out: "Girl, are you... are you really out of your mind?"
