"What a pity..." Although Gao Zhenzhen was disappointed, she didn't say anything more. "Then don't waste time, get started!"
Hearing this, the fake Xiaoyu, at the signal of the gluttonous masked man, grabbed Ling Xiang's hand and slapped Gao Zhenzhen hard.
Gao Zhenzhen picked up the mirror and looked at the not-so-obvious slap mark on her face: "Continue."
After slapping her several times, Gao Zhenzhen's face was completely swollen, and the fake Xiaoyu finally stopped.
Gao Zhenzhen endured the burning pain on her face and said, "That's enough. Let's see what she chooses later!"
"Then I'm sorry to trouble Miss Gao." The man in the gluttonous mask waved his hand lightly, and the woman behind him took out a rope and tied Gao Zhenzhen's hands.
"Use a little more force! Otherwise it won't look like it's been tied for a long time." Gao Zhenzhen was determined to make her acting more realistic, so she gave it her all.
The gluttonous masked man tutted his tongue: "Miss Gao has such courage, so why would she worry about not finding a good man? Why would she hang herself on the tree of the King of Qin?"
"I'm happy to!" Gao Zhenzhen's wrist hurt, but when she thought of the upcoming victory, she endured it.
"Okay, let's send Ling Xiang away." The gluttonous masked man ordered. The fake Xiaoyu put on Xiaoyu's human skin mask again, picked up Ling Xiang and flew away. After flying out of the sensing range, he put Ling Xiang down, looked at the time, and waited for a while before taking out the antidote and shaking it in front of Ling Xiang's nose.
Ling Xiang calculated the time and woke up in time. After a moment of confusion, she suddenly became alert: "Who are you?"
"Ms. Ling, don't worry. Go east from here and in about half an hour you will see an abandoned ancient temple. Your people are all inside. The map to leave the ancient temple is on Xiaoyu." After the fake Xiaoyu finished speaking, she took off into the air and flew away.
Ling Xiang hurriedly chased after her, then pretended to have lost his spiritual power, and could only watch the fake Xiaoyu leave.
Ling Xiang stood there for a moment, deciding, and then quickly headed east.
Half an hour later, Ling Xiang successfully found Xiaoyu and Lian Cailiang. They were both unconscious, so Ling Xiang woke them up.
"Miss." Xiaoyu rubbed her aching head and looked around confusedly, "Where is this?"
Ling Xiang found a map from Xiaoyu. "This is an abandoned ancient temple. Xiaoyu, Uncle Lian, do you remember how you got here?"
Both of them shook their heads.
"Miss, I remember I slept in the room last night, and when I woke up I saw you here." Lian Cailiang said.
Xiaoyu nodded immediately: "Me too!"
"Now is not the time to pursue these matters. Let's leave as soon as possible."
Ling Xiang did not believe the map given by the other party. He took out a compass and determined the location of the capital. Combined with the topographic map of the surrounding areas of the capital that Lian Cailiang took out, he determined their current approximate location.
"Go this way." Lian Cailiang pointed out the way back.
Before the three of them walked out of the mountain, they heard a noise from the opposite side.
"It's the sound of horse hooves, and there's only one person." After his cultivation level was promoted to the Golden Core, Ling Xiang's hearing became very sharp.
"Do we need to avoid the other party?" Lian Cailiang asked out of caution.
"Okay." Ling Xiang didn't want to cause trouble, so the three of them put on masks, flew to the tree, and held their breath.
The sound of horse hooves came from afar and soon reached them.
Is it Nangong Yu?
Ling Xiang didn't understand why Nangong Yu also came here.
Ling Xiang had a bad feeling and wanted to wait for Nangong Yu to leave before leaving. However, Nangong Yu discovered their hiding place and attacked them without even saying hello.
Lian Cailiang was a spiritual master, and Xiaoyu was only a spiritualist. Ling Xiang immediately took the two of them away from their hiding place.
"Boom!" The big tree collapsed in an instant, but Nangong Yu's attack followed like a shadow and directly locked onto Ling Xiang.
"Stop!" Ling Xiang dodged again and revealed her identity, "Your Highness Prince Qin, it's me, Ling Xiang."
Nangong Yu then stopped and looked at Ling Xiang who had taken off her mask: "What are you hiding here for?"
Ling Xiang always felt that something was fishy and didn't want to have any misunderstandings with Nangong Yu, so she explained: "It's a long story, but to put it simply, someone kidnapped my people, brought me here, and then released me, and told me that coming here could rescue my people, as if I had some serious illness."
Nangong Yu didn't understand Ling Xiang's tongue-twister words and frowned: "Your people were also kidnapped?"
Ling Xiang was puzzled: "How come the prince's people were also abducted? Could it be Miss Gao?"
If Gao Zhenzhen was really abducted, this would be very interesting!
Nangong Yu gave Ling Xiang a deep look and said, "This place is dangerous. You'd better leave first."
"I think there's no such thing as a coincidence, Miss. Perhaps the people who kidnapped us are the same ones who kidnapped the people held by His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin." Lian Cailiang suddenly suggested, "Miss, why don't we go with His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin and find out who is plotting against us?"
Ling Xiang didn't want to have anything to do with Nangong Yu at all. Besides, the things here were caused by Gao Zhenzhen. Gao Zhenzhen would never hurt Nangong Yu, but if she got involved, she would be asking for trouble.
Ling Xiang was about to refuse, but Nangong Yu agreed, took out a token, and stuffed it into Ling Xiang's hand without saying anything:
"We can give it a try, Ling Xiang. This place is not far from the Cliff of Broken Hearts. Someone sent me a letter saying that Zhenzhen is there. I will go and stabilize the other party first. You wait here for a while. When my people arrive, you can take the token and command them. We will act accordingly."
Ling Xiangcai refused to accept the hot potato and returned the token: "Your Highness, Prince Qin, I am not influential and I am afraid I cannot help you with this. Please seek help from others."
"Do you see anyone else here?" Nangong Yu solemnly placed the token in Ling Xiang's hand, "Ling Xiang, I owe you a favor."
Gao Zhenzhen was captured, on the cliff, Nangong Yu and she appeared at the same time, which immediately reminded Ling Xiang of the classic scene in the original book:
In order to save Gao Zhenzhen, Nangong Yu sacrificed Ling Xiang, causing her to fall off a cliff and break her leg...
The cliff in the original book doesn't seem to be very high, but this Cliff of Broken Hearts seems to be quite high. If you fall down, you won't just break your legs, you'll die, right?
Ling Xiang cherished her life very much and refused firmly: "No, I'm afraid of death."
"Then just leave. I won't blame you. I'll get the token back from you when we get back." Nangong Yufei mounted his horse and galloped away.
"Hey!" Ling Xiang held the token and wanted to stop Nangong Yu from doing what he wanted, but she only felt the dust raised by Nangong Yu's horse hooves.
Lian Cailiang blamed himself, "Miss, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin has the token in your hands, and his men will be arriving soon. We have no choice but to help him. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have suggested acting together with His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin..."
"Even if you don't mention it, the King of Qin will drag me into this..." Ling Xiang comforted Lian Cailiang and sighed at the token in his hand, "Just consider it a good deed. When the King of Qin's men arrive, I'll explain everything clearly and then leave immediately."
