Wan Jinlan felt uneasy when she saw Xiao Minghuan today. She really couldn't feel any gratitude towards him, let alone any other feelings.
At this moment, she actually had the idea of "seeing how he is going to act next."
She stared at the masked man out of the corner of her eye, and when she saw him holding Heng Ge'er and moving a few steps to the left and front, she felt relieved.
If the masked man was really as fearless as he appeared, he would not have subconsciously moved away from the edge of the cliff.
Xiao Minghuan tore off a piece of his robe and then asked the soldiers who came with him to tie his hands behind his back.
Xiao Minghuan walked forward tentatively. This time, the masked man did not shout or attack Heng Ge'er.
Wan Jinyu's heart was hanging like a taut thread, and she was hoping that Heng Ge'er could be replaced safely.
Although Prince Duan is the son of a dragon and the grandson of a phoenix, in her heart, her younger brother is more precious.
Wan Jinlan didn't know what Xiao Minghuan was planning, and she would not pin her hopes on this person with impure intentions.
Before Xiao Minghuan reached his level, she pointed her finger in the direction of the cliff and jumped up with a cry of surprise: "Ah, what is that?!"
All's fair in war, isn't it? Even if the masked man doesn't fall for her trick, she can just wait and see. Heng'er's height is quite different from the masked man's, so it's easy to find an opportunity to strike. If this was truly a trap set by Xiao Minghuan, then the danger shouldn't be high.
The masked man subconsciously turned around, surprised. Could it be that his accomplice had suddenly appeared at this moment? This shouldn't be the case. It wasn't the right time for him to come out yet.
Wan Jinlan took the opportunity to make a gesture to Heng Ge'er, who understood it immediately. When the force holding him loosened, he bit the masked man's arm.
When the masked man turned around in pain, Wan Jinlan had already approached him and punched him in the face.
Xiao Minghuan thought it was not good, but his hands were tied behind his back, so he couldn't run fast.
Another masked man who had been lurking on the cliff looked up and saw the chaos and situation above. Knowing that he could not wait any longer, he jumped up and joined the battle.
Wan Jinlan pushed Heng Ge'er towards Wan Zhijing, "Brother, catch it."
Xiao Minghuan didn't want his plan to fail. After the second masked man came up, he staggered in front of Wan Jinlan and said, "Cousin Lan, be careful."
The masked man received the look from Xiao Minghuan, slapped his palm, and shouted angrily: "Go to hell!"
Wan Jinlan was fighting with the first masked man. He caught a glimpse of the masked man's ferocious face and Xiao Minghuan's gradually enlarged face from the corner of his eye. He sensed that her body was falling down, and suddenly he knew Xiao Minghuan's plan.
She twisted in mid-air, and with a powerful kick of her legs, she kicked Xiao Minghuan sideways. "Ma Xing, protect the Third Prince."
Ma Xing was the son of Ma Liu, the coachman at the palace, and also a guard there, often running errands for Wan Jinlan. He responded loudly and rushed to Xiao Minghuan's side, who had landed in a frog-like position.
Xiao Minghuan was kicked in the abdomen by Wan Jinlan and almost vomited in mid-air.
Only after getting kicked myself did I realize how strong Wan Jinlan was. He was so rude!
He watched Wan Jinlan drag a masked man down the cliff, his expression darkening.
When Wan Zhijing reached the edge of the cliff, he couldn't even see his sister's shadow.
There were dozens of people at the scene. Most of the Wan family's guards were escorting the human traffickers. The villagers who lost their children were also injured. As for the people from the Ministry of Justice brought by Xiao Minghuan, they were also injured.
Wan Zhijing hurriedly arranged for the guards to return to the mansion to call for people, and by the way, to find a strong and long hemp rope, and then sent someone to Huayan Temple to inform the old lady and others.
"What happened today is all because of my poor handling of the matter, which has implicated cousin Lan. If anything happens to cousin Lan, I will feel guilty, so I will go down with you, Zhijing, to find cousin Lan." Xiao Minghuan put one hand on his stomach. Even if he could get up at this moment, he was holding on because of his strength.
Wan Zhijing didn't bother to be polite with Xiao Minghuan at this moment, and tried his best to ignore the strange emotions caused by his sister kicking Xiao Minghuan.
Let’s put aside the chaos and let’s talk about Wan Jinlan.
When she couldn't control her falling body, she casually pulled down the masked man who had previously held Heng Ge hostage.
Firstly, she didn't know how deep the situation was, so it was just right for her to drag a bad guy to be her scapegoat.
Secondly, she wanted to find out from the masked man what exactly happened today.
Although she was young, she could tell that the tears of the villagers were sincere.
And that group of human traffickers did have the aura of being gangsters and not good people.
But the two masked men, especially the one holding Heng Ge'er hostage, seemed to be acting cruelly on purpose, which actually gave her a feeling of bluffing.
The wind was whistling in her ears, and the masked man was pressed under her. There were green plants growing on both sides of the cliff, and all kinds of dangers were filtered out by the masked man.
There were many scratches on the masked man's face, his face scarf was hooked off by the branches, and his clothes were hung into many strips.
Wan Jinlan was only slightly better than him. Although he was in a mess and was a little frightened, he could still bear it.
"laugh"
It was the sound of sharp wood piercing flesh.
Wan Jinlan's face was splashed with blood.
The masked man was stabbed in the abdomen by a sharp, dry wooden thorn. Although Wan Jinlan was frightened, he reacted very quickly at the critical moment of life and death and changed his position in mid-air.
The falling process was long and fast. She was not far from the grass below. She grabbed a thick branch to slow down her falling speed, then rolled forward to relieve the force with her shoulders. Then she rolled several times on the grass before stopping in a daze.
His whole body felt like it was falling apart, his ankles were scratched by stones and bleeding, and his white brocade socks were stained with blood.
Looking up, the masked man was like a piece of white cloth floating above the dry branches.
She felt a little uncomfortable. If she hadn't pulled this person down, she would be the one hanging there now.
She survived, but the other person lost his life.
Wan Jinlan silently said to himself that he was not a good person. He repeated it several times before he got rid of the guilt in his heart.
Hearing that there was a ferocious beast at the foot of the mountain and seeing blood not far above, she paused for a moment, then stood up and chose a direction to walk.
By observing the position of the red wheel in the sky, one can infer that it is probably the afternoon, and it will take at most an hour before the sky becomes completely dark.
Not knowing what was going on below, she tried not to make any loud noise. Her movements were not particularly convenient, and she did not walk very fast.
As the orange sunset shone on the green mountain bottom, she sat down to rest between a huge rock and a big tree, with a small stream in front of her.
She thought this place was relatively safe because the big tree and the boulder had a certain slope to the bottom, and there was a natural depression facing the cliff on the boulder, which was just big enough for her to hide in.
Looking here from any direction in the mountain stream, all she could see were rocks and big trees. She had already observed from all directions.
