Yu Wenran glanced behind him and found that there were still many men in black following him, but he was now anxious to find Gu Yanyue, fearing that if it was too late, Gu Yanyue would suddenly turn around with Qin Ruoruo and run back to save him.
Yu Wenran followed the marks Gu Yanyue had left for him. Now he could only pray that those men in black were not as strong as him, and that he would eventually get rid of them.
When Yu Wenran looked back for the third time, he found that the men in black who had been following him had disappeared.
So he tiptoed and ran faster along the direction Gu Yanyue had left for him. Soon he caught up with Gu Yanyue and Qin Ruoruo.
Gu Yanyue had been running with Qin Ruoruo for quite some time, and since they lacked exercise on a daily basis, they were already quite tired. They were taking a short break under a tree, intending to wait for Yuwen Ran to catch up.
The moment Qin Ruoruo was caught by Wu Suo, Yuwen Ran had already thought of a plan for the next step, and whispered it to Gu Yanyue before going to replace Qin Ruoruo.
To outsiders, it looked like Yuwen Ran was just saying his final goodbyes to Gu Yanyue. Only Gu Yanyue knew that Yuwen Ran was telling her about his plans.
So after Yuwen Ran exchanged for Qin Ruoruo, Gu Yanyue's primary concern was not Yuwen Ran, but Qin Ruoruo.
This is to give those "no bishops" some illusions, making them think that she and Yuwen Ran are actually not compatible.
When Yuwen Ran caught up, Gu Yanyue and Qin Ruoruo had almost finished their rest. The moment Yuwen Ran landed, he only had time to say to them, "Run!" and ran forward with Gu Yanyue in his hand.
Gu Yanyue was a little happy when she saw Yuwen Ran catching up and not followed by that annoying group of "no bishops", but she was confused by Yuwen Ran's sudden action. She grabbed Qin Ruoruo's wrist in a hurry and ran forward with her.
"A Ran...what's wrong..." Gu Yanyue asked Yu Wenran while running, panting, "Why are you running so fast?"
Because Qin Ruoruo was with him, Yuwen Ran couldn't use Qinggong to hurry with Gu Yanyue, so they had to run. When Gu Yanyue asked him about it, he told her the truth, "The 'No Bishop' has gathered a lot of troops behind us and is heading this way. If we run too slowly, I'm afraid we will all die."
Yu Wenran was probably born to be a crow. As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone shouting from behind, "Stop! You can't escape! If you stop now, we might consider leaving you with an intact body."
Seeing that the group of men in black had caught up so quickly, Yuwen Ran took Gu Yanyue and Qin Ruoruo and ran in another direction, wanting to follow the terrain to see if he could get rid of the group of men in black behind him.
But the facts proved that Yuwen Ran's luck was really bad. There were so many roads when he turned just now, but he ended up choosing a dead end.
Yu Wenran looked at the cliff not far ahead and had to stop with Gu Yanyue and Qin Ruoruo. For a moment, they could neither advance nor retreat.
But as the saying goes, "There is always a new hope after a dark tunnel." God did not let Yuwen Ran and his men get too unlucky. When the men in black stopped with them, the sound of horse hooves came from behind them.
Gu Yanyue and the others looked up in the direction they were heading and discovered that the leader of the horse race was none other than He Fangyan. When they were desperate, He Fangyan arrived with reinforcements.
Following He Fang's loud shout of "Kill!", the pair of Xuzhou guards following He Fangyan took their weapons and fought with the group of black-clad men of "No Bishop".
To disguise himself as a beggar and avoid being seen through, Yuwen Ran didn't even bring his sword, only a dagger for self-defense. As for his sword, he found a place to put it and marked it. He planned to wait until he returned to the capital from Qianzhou and then go there to pick up his sword.
Now that a melee was about to break out and he had no weapons at hand, Yuwen Ran realized what a wrong decision it was to not bring his sword with him.
Yuwen Ran kicked the man in black who was rushing towards him with a big knife to the ground, then took out his dagger from his arms and stabbed him in the heart cleanly. The man in black died without even struggling twice.
After his death, Yuwen Ran picked up his big knife and fought with the remaining men in black.
"Sister Gu, be careful!" Yu Wen Ran was concentrating on dealing with the man in black in front of him when he heard Qin Ruoruo's shout behind him. Yu Wen Ran kicked the man in black over and turned around to see that a man in black holding a big knife was slashing towards the unarmed Gu Yanyue.
Yuwen Ran immediately rushed over and blocked the black-clad man's sword that was about to chop down Gu Yanyue. Due to inertia, he couldn't help but step back a few steps, and before he knew it, he retreated to the edge of the cliff, slipped, and fell straight down.
Gu Yanyue nearly fainted when she saw this scene. She trotted to the edge of the cliff and found that Yuwen Ran hadn't fallen completely. He had stuck the knife in the crack of the cliff and was now hanging on the edge, his whole body dangling. She and Qin Ruoruo's strength alone was definitely not enough to pull Yuwen Ran up from the cliff.
Gu Yanyue looked down at the cliff and found a river that hadn't frozen yet. This was another kind of blessing from heaven to her and Yuwen Ran. Gu Yanyue turned around and said to Qin Ruoruo, who had also come running over because of Yuwen Ran's "fall off the cliff", "Ruoruo, I'll jump from here with Ah Ran later, and then we'll meet at the city gate of Qianzhou."
After saying that, Gu Yanyue ignored what Qin Ruoruo said to her. She just looked at Yuwen Ran and asked, "A Ran, do you believe me?"
Because Yu Wenran was holding the knife with only one hand, his hand was gradually becoming numb. He could only nod with difficulty to show that he definitely believed in Gu Yanyue.
Then I heard Gu Yanyue say, "I'll count to one, two, three, and then we'll jump down together, one, two, three!"
When Gu Yanyue finished her last word, she jumped straight off the cliff. At the same time, Yuwen Ran also released the hand that had been holding the knife and jumped off the cliff with Gu Yanyue.
Qin Ruoruo just stood on the edge of the cliff and watched Gu Yanyue and Yu Wenran jump off the cliff one after another, and gradually disappear from her sight.
