When Lu Ping jumped, not only Ren Xitao, but even Ren Xifeng was dumbfounded, and the pursuers from Lu’s residence were also stunned.
Lu Song asked them to capture someone, but he gave a strict order: they could capture someone, but they must not hurt a hair, and they must ensure that the young lady was intact. But now not only was she injured, but even her life was lost. How could she survive if she jumped off such a high cliff?
As people looked at each other in bewilderment, no one expected that Ren Xitao would jump off the cliff after Lü Ping did, without thinking much, and actually followed suit! He had kung fu skills, but the mountain was too high, and between the cliffs, he could have used his sword to slash the stone wall to slow down his fall. But he was only thinking about catching up with Lü Ping, who had jumped first, so instead of trying to save himself, he dropped a heavy weight, making himself fall much faster.
Everyone was stunned, Ren Xifeng and the Ren family's coachman were even more shocked. They both rushed to the edge of the cliff, but they only had time to see a piece of Ren Xitao's clothes. Soon, even that piece of clothes disappeared.
Ren Xifeng was frightened and began to tremble uncontrollably. Her first thought was fear: It's over, my brother will definitely fall to his death. Her second thought was self-blame: I shouldn't have taken him to Ji'an County. If he had stayed in Beijing, even if he had been tied to the eldest daughter of the Lu family, he would not have died. Her third thought was resentment and hatred. She blamed her brother for not being able to forget the enchantress Lu Ping after so long, and she also hated Lu Ping and the Lu family for some evil magic that had bewitched her brother to such an extent that he dared to jump off the cliff without caring about his life.
Her face turned stern, and she suddenly turned back to look at the pursuers from the Lu family. The pursuers were still immersed in the shock of the two people jumping off the cliff one after another, and they were also shocked by Ren Xifeng's glare. Some people subconsciously wanted to scold this bold girl, how dare she stare at them? But the idea was dispelled as soon as it came up. The other party was from the Pingnan General's Mansion. They have been in Beijing for many years, so they would not make a mistake. Now, for the sake of Miss Lu, the young master of the Pingnan General's Mansion jumped off the cliff. I'm afraid that the Pingnan General's Mansion will have to settle this account with the Zuo Xiang Mansion!
Those people retreated step by step, wanting to leave this place. Lu Ping jumped off the cliff. Seeing the height of the cliff, there was no possibility of survival. There was no need for them to stay here any longer. It would be better to return to Beijing to report first, and leave two people to search for the body.
But how could Ren Xifeng let them go like this? She stood up and stood on the edge of the cliff, looking very heroic. The majesty of the Pingnan General's Mansion was reflected in her at this moment, and no one dared to underestimate her. She pointed to the cliff below and shouted at the pursuers from the Lu Mansion, "No one is allowed to leave! Go down and save people for me! Not to save your eldest daughter, but to save my brother. I want to see him alive or dead. Listen, don't think that the Lu family can protect you. If you hadn't come today, my brother wouldn't have jumped off the cliff. The Zuo Xiang Mansion can't keep you alive. If you don't go down to find someone for me today, remember, the Pingnan General's Mansion will become your eternal nightmare. No matter where you escape to, the General's Mansion will not let you go. Also, don't even think of killing me to silence me. Before I returned to Beijing, a flying eagle had already sent a letter to the capital, and the people in the mansion were already on their way here. The Lu family made such a big fuss, don't expect the General's Mansion to know nothing. What's more," she said, pulling out a posture and drawing a sword from her waist, "Don't think that this lady is an easy persimmon to pinch. If you don't believe me, just try it. Today, will you die, or will I die!"
These words made the pursuers lose their momentum. They were just guards of the Lu family. Even though some of them were hired by Lu Song with a large sum of money, they usually just escorted people. They took this business because they had skills. The Lu family did not have such a rich family background and did not have so much time to hire martial arts masters. These escorts were hired by Lu Song in the capital just to find his daughter. People's families were still in the capital. Even if they did not have families, they were reluctant to go this way. More than a dozen people were still strangers to each other. It was impossible for them to be of one mind and kill Ren Xifeng to silence him. Therefore, they only had one choice at the moment, which was to help find people. As long as Ren Xitao was found, this matter could still be discussed.
So the people nodded in agreement and acted quickly, riding their horses down the mountain, trying to get in through the mountain stream and search carefully for people down there. Ren Xifeng and the driver unloaded the two horses, and they followed the people down the mountain, one for each horse.
Ren Xitao jumped off the cliff because he was impulsive, but he didn't regret it. Especially when he caught up with Lv Ping and held her hand, he thought, even if they died together, it was worth it, right? He had never done anything spectacular in his life, and he had never loved anyone deeply. Lv Ping was just a chance encounter, but she left such a deep impression on him that his sister and family were so nervous that they took him away from the capital. But even so, he couldn't get rid of the impression of that woman from his mind. Instead, he missed her even more when they met again.
He grabbed Lu Ping, looked at her surprised and frightened eyes, smiled faintly, and said loudly: "Hold on tight, I won't let you die!" Just this sentence was like a promise. He was so eager to protect her that he just stretched out his arm and lifted her up into his arms.
Ren Xitao thought that if he failed to save himself and fell to the ground, he would definitely protect Lu Ping above his body, so that he could act as a cushion and give her more hope of survival.
Although he thought so, he was not really waiting to die. He slashed the mountain with his sword, constantly looking for a support point. Although he had not found one yet, the speed of their descent slowed down a lot, until they slid to the middle of the mountain, and were finally stopped by a thick patch of grass growing on the mountain.
Ren Xitao held Lü Ping and stopped. His knees were bleeding from the friction with the mountain, and he frowned slightly in pain. But this was only a temporary buffer. The grass could break at any time. He had to find another way as soon as possible, otherwise the two would continue to fall.
Ren Xitao's eyes kept searching the mountain, trying to find a safe place to stay, while Lu Ping had recovered a little from her shock. She looked at Ren Xitao, and countless thoughts flashed quickly through her mind.
Why did this person save her? Is this person a fool? If she caused Ren Xitao's death, would she never be able to forgive herself even if she went to hell? She fled from the capital without hesitation. Even if she died, it was fate's arrangement. She could just accept it. But now Ren Xitao jumped off the cliff because of her, which made her regret for the first time. If she hadn't left Beijing, none of this would have happened, right?
Thinking of this, tears began to flow unconsciously. The big tears slid down, washing away the black rouge on her face, and her stunning face was faintly visible again. In a glance, Ren Xitao was dazed again.
The hilt of the sword moved, and the two of them sank down again, scaring Lu Ping to scream. Ren Xitao hugged her tighter and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, you won't die."
"But I don't want to live alone." Lu Ping finally spoke, looking up at the man who was like a god to her, and said, "If you die because of me, even if I survive, I will immediately follow you. So, Brother Ren, take care of yourself. As long as you are alive, I will have no regrets even if I die."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ren Xitao turned his head away and searched the mountain again. At the same time, he said to Lu Ping, "I jumped down with you. Do you think I would feel good if you died? The moment we jumped down, we had already made up our minds to die. Let's not try to persuade each other. If we can survive, we are lucky. If we die, there is nothing to complain about. We chose the path ourselves, so we should just keep going."
Hearing these words, Lu Ping felt inexplicably at ease. Even though her feet were still hanging in the air, even though there was a bottomless abyss below, she was no longer afraid. Ren Xitao was right. She had chosen her own path, so she just had to keep going.
"Look, there seems to be a cave over there." Suddenly, Ren Xitao pouted his chin and said, "It's about ten steps away from us, there seems to be a cave."
Lu Ping reluctantly lowered her head to look, but the height made her dizzy, and she couldn't see clearly where the cave was. She just said, "Everything is up to Brother Ren." 》≠》≠》≠》≠,
Ren Xitao nodded, "Okay, then you listen to me, hold my waist tightly, and I will take you down now. When we reach the entrance of the cave and I call you, we will push in together and swing in first."
Lu Ping nodded and nervously prepared herself.
Finally, the sword stuck in the cliff came out, and the fall began again. Ren Xitao tried his best to control the speed of the fall. Just as he was about to reach the cave entrance, he suddenly heard a "crack". He thought to himself that it was not good. The sword could not bear the weight of the two people and broke in half. At the same time, the fall suddenly became faster, just like when he jumped off the cliff just now, completely out of control.
Ren Xitao was shocked and simply threw away the hilt of the sword, hugged Lu Ping with both hands, and seeing that they were about to miss the cave, he burst out with his internal strength and rushed into the cave with Lu Ping in his arms at the last moment.
The man rolled on the ground, and Ren Xitao's back hit a big rock, then he stopped.
The impact was so strong that he almost fainted. Fortunately, he managed to hold on with a little willpower, but the pain was so severe that cold sweats broke out on his forehead.
"Brother Ren!" Lv Ping was anxious, and hurriedly got up and knelt on the ground to check his injuries. She turned his back and saw that his body was already bloody. She stared blankly at Ren Xitao's wounds from his back to his knees and then to his right palm that was tightly holding the sword. Finally, she couldn't hold it back any longer and burst into tears.
