Qiu Che, however, remained calm, and even felt a strange calmness in his heart, as if it had finally come.
Fu Feng was also an elite in the Jinyiwei. There were few people in the world who could injure him like this, but if it was Yuan Fu, it would not be surprising.
They took every precaution, but never expected that in the end it was not a natural disaster but a man-made disaster, not a conspiracy but an overt plot.
Qiu Che thought that since Yaotai was worried about them getting into trouble, then nothing should happen to her.
In the end, I let my guard down and was negligent for a moment.
As soon as Wu Yiqi finished speaking, without waiting for Fu Feng to reply, he felt a gust of wind passing by him, and Qiu Che had quickly passed by Fu Feng and was heading in the direction he came from.
She spoke briefly and to the point, waking up the stunned Fu Feng: "Lead the way."
Fu Feng gritted his teeth, and even though his chest wound was still bleeding, he still forced himself to stand up and lead the way for Li Qingwu because he was worried about her safety.
Wu Yiqi wanted to follow him, but just as he took a step, Qiu Che stopped him in his tracks: "You stay here and tell Yu Ming and Yu Yan to come to my side and bring people to support us."
"Before the matter is resolved, remember not to leak the news."
On the way up the mountain, Fu Feng spoke hurriedly and quickly and concisely recounted what had happened.
It turned out that when Li Qingwu went to look for Yaotai today, Yang Qiu was also there.
Yang Qiu was also one of the officials accompanying the autumn hunt. He always presented himself as a civil servant and did not show much martial arts skills.
Therefore, this autumn hunting trip was at most a formality.
Because Qiu Che was not in a position to contact him too often, Yang Qiu waited for three days and took advantage of the emperor's absence from the camp to come to Yaotai, but his time happened to conflict with Li Qingwu's.
When the three of them met, Yang Qiu and Li Qingwu looked at each other, but Yaotai was smiling as if nothing had happened.
As soon as Li Qingwu arrived, Yaotai naturally walked hand in hand with her on the mountain near the Taoist temple, chatting about everything under the sun, and immediately forgot about Yang Qiu.
What else could Yang Qiu do? Naturally, he had nothing else to say, and he and Fu Feng followed behind them consciously, not too far away from the two of them.
If something happens, we can just step forward to rescue.
But the person they were facing was none other than Yuan Fu, the former commander of the Jinwu Guards.
Even when he knocked Yaotai unconscious and captured Li Qingwu, he was disheveled and ragged, and he hardly looked like the former Jinwu Guard.
But Fu Feng still recognized him by his crazy eyes and voice.
Although the opponent looked like he was crazy, his martial arts skills were quite high. Two darts flew towards him, and Fu Feng dodged one but failed to dodge the other.
Yang Qiu saw at a glance that he was no match for him, and calmly asked him what his purpose was.
After hearing this, Yuan Fu laughed crazily and shouted incoherently: "It was him who brought me to this point, it was the Qiu family kid, and you, a bitch, who brought us to this point!"
As he spoke, he took out a shiny knife that came from nowhere and stabbed Yaotai's arm hard.
In an instant, Yaotai, who had been knocked unconscious by him, woke up instantly in a cold sweat from the pain.
Li Qingwu was held hostage by his other hand holding a knife, unable to move, and his pupils shrank when he saw this. "ââYaotai!"
Yaotai
He shook his head at them imperceptibly to show that he was fine.
At the same time?()_[()]?ãCome[]âRead the latest chapterâFull chapterã(), Yuan Fu's voice suddenly rose again:
"Let Qiu Che come! Let him come alone!"
Listening to these words now, it is hard to tell whether they are a threat or just a casual remark.
But they do need help right now.
Yang Qiu was afraid that he would run away with his men, so he secretly gestured to Fu Feng, asking him to go find Qiu Che first, and that he would stay here and delay as long as possible.
But when Qiu Che arrived, the situation was already out of control.
When Fu Feng left, they were still halfway up the mountain, not too far from the Taoist temple, but now when they returned, the place was already empty.
There were scattered bloodstains on the ground, and a path was winding through the dead branches and leaves of the jungle.
At the end of the road is a cliff.
Fuling was leaning against a large rock nearby, unconscious. Yang Qiu was standing far away, covering his shoulder, with a few traces of blood faintly visible between his fingers.
He looked towards the edge of the cliff with vigilance and worry, but did not dare to take another step forward.
Behind Yuan Fu, one of Yaotai's arms was twisted in a strange posture, his face was pale, his arm was drooping, and blood was dripping from his fingertips.
It was her blood that led the way for Qiu Che.
Li Qingwu was tied with ropes and stood on the edge of the cliff, only one step away from the cliff behind him.
One step back is the abyss.
Yuan Fu was holding a knife, pointing it at her face and muttering something.
Qiu Che's heart sank in an instant.
Li Qingwu was the first person to notice Qiu Che, and his eyes unconsciously swept behind Yuan Fu.
The other party also quickly realized something, put the knife against Li Qingwu's neck, and turned to look.
When he saw Qiu Che walking towards him alone with a calm expression, his eyes flashed with intense hatred, as well as a bit of pleasure at the prospect of revenge.
He first shouted angrily: "Qiu Che!"
Yang Qiu turned around in response.
When Qiu Che passed by him, he nodded slightly to him without saying a word.
Yang Qiu understood, and finally glanced at Yaotai with hidden worry, then took a few steps back, quietly helped Fuling up and left.
Yuan Fu watched all this happen, but he didn't even try to stop it. He even laughed out loud. He lowered his head to look at Yao Tai, who had collapsed on the ground due to excessive blood loss, and said sarcastically, "I saw you flirting with that Yang family kid, and he looked very worried about you just now... I really thought he liked you so much, but how come he just turned around and ran away when he saw that you were injured?"
"It's true that she is a worn-out slut that everyone uses as a pillow. No one cares about her no matter where she goes."
Yaotai sneered and spit at him unceremoniously: "It's none of your business. Why, weren't you the one who slept with a whore on impulse? As a result, your lover died, and you almost died too. You lost everything. Are you broken?"
Yuan Fu didn't understand what "breaking the defense" meant, but that didn't stop him from understanding the sarcasm in Yaotai's words.
He became angry and swung the knife again.
There was also an extra knife on Yaotai's other arm.
She bent over slightly, the pain made her eyes dizzy and her face turned even paler.
But she was still laughing: "I hate people like you who have a brain bubble
() stinky man, can't control his lower body, and blames it on women. "
"You said it was rumors that killed Yin Yiyi. In my opinion, it was your infidelity that killed her," Yaotai stared at him, laughing, and with a bit of sadness, she said word by word, "Yuan Fu, you killed her with your own hands."
Li Qingwu whispered, with some uncontrollable crying tone: "Don't say it...Yaotai, don't say it."
"You're talking nonsense! You're talking nonsense! Shut up! Crazy woman! It's all nonsense!"
Yuan Fu's eyes were bloodshot, and he grabbed Yao Tai's collar and wanted to use force, but Qiu Che interrupted him in time: "Commander Yuan."
Yuan Fu paused, then turned and stared at Qiu Che angrily.
The wind on the cliff was very strong. Qiu Che walked forward calmly, saying calmly as he walked: "Long time no see - although I'm surprised you're not dead, it seems that you haven't been doing well recently?"
Her calm tone hurt Yuan Fu, and he immediately started yelling like a madman: "Yes, it's because of you! My benefactor said it was all because of you! If it weren't for you, if it weren't for my momentary confusion and this bitch - how could my Yi Yi be angry with me, we obviously have such a good relationship..."
His voice was low for a short moment, and then he became crazy again: "It was you who spread our story! It's all your fault!!!"
Qiu Che vaguely understood something and narrowed his eyes slightly: "...Who said I was the one who spread this?"
Yuan Fu was speaking incoherently, his face showing madness: "My benefactor said it was you! No one else knows about our affairs except you... It's you!"
As he spoke, the knife in his hand couldn't help shaking, scratching Li Qingwu's neck and leaving a few streaks of blood.
She had fair skin, so the blood was particularly noticeable.
Qiu Che, however, seemed to be blind to it, and asked with a hint of amusement, "So you believed the words of your benefactor and came to seek revenge on me?"
"I'm looking for revenge on you! You are all my enemies! You all deserve to die!" Yuan Fu roared, and then suddenly became quiet.
He looked at Qiu Che for a few times and asked suspiciously, "Your woman is in my hands now, why do you look so calm? And you still have the time to talk to me about this?"
Qiu Che paused subtly.
Then, under the gazes of several people, he pulled the corners of his lips and revealed a somewhat strange smile.
It was as if he had heard a joke, and he was also somewhat confused.
She opened her lips and uttered, "Why do you think that by holding her hostage, you can threaten me?"
"To be honest," she raised her hand and casually pointed at Li Qingwu, her tone relaxed, "She and I are just a fake couple. I don't love her at all."
"It's better to threaten me with the maid beside me than to threaten me with her."
No one noticed that Li Qingwu's body stiffened slightly after hearing these words.
Even though he knew that this was most likely Qiu Che's rhetoric to make Yuan Fu let down his guard, people are still human after all.
She couldn't control the deep sadness that was creeping up in her heart at that moment.
Yuan Fu glared at her and said, "Impossible! You are lying!"
"I heard it clearly. You two were inseparable even when you were bathing. Meng was inseparable from Jiao and Jiao was inseparable from Meng. How could you be a fake couple?" He said without thinking, and roared, "You're trying to trick me! Impossible!"
The air on the cliff seemed to freeze for a moment.
Lian Yaotai's uncontrollable gasping due to injury was paused.
â¦â¦no.
It turns out that this young couple had been having so much fun without her knowing?
And at that moment, he suddenly thought of the childish "assassination attempt" that he encountered in the bedroom more than a month ago.
Looking more closely, Yuan Fu's figure seemed to be almost the same as the assassin that day.
In this case, if he was the one who fought with Qiu Che that day, it would be no wonder.
So he had been eyeing Qiu Che at that time?
The princess's mansion was under martial law, and Qiu Che himself was not someone to be trifled with. He probably couldn't find an opportunity to strike, so he turned his attention to Li Qingwu.
They waited for more than a month before they were completely free from the protection of the guards in the princess's mansion.
But autumn hunting is a royal activity, and any people near the hunting grounds have been cleared in advance. After the emperor enters the hunting grounds, the Jinwu Guards tightly guard every place on the mountain where people can go up and down.
It stands to reason that a "dead person" should not be allowed to appear here.
How did he get in so quietly?
Who was the benefactor he mentioned? How did he save Yuan Fu's life in public without being discovered?
Could that person be related to the person behind the scenes that she had previously guessed?
What exactly is the other partyâs purpose?
Qiu Che's thoughts were in a stalemate with Yuan Fu when he suddenly heard a burst of dense footsteps behind him.
Yuan Fu's expression suddenly changed. He grabbed Li Qingwu's arm and said sternly, "Qiu Che! You don't keep your word!"
