Chapter 30: Falling off the cliff "Knock knock knock" "Go in." ...
"Knock knock knock"
"Enter."
When Fang Buyu looked up, he saw Guo Yan and Xiaoying walking in one after another.
Guo Yan had a serious expression and a furrowed brow, while Xiaoying seemed a little nervous, her hands unconsciously clasped together.
Fang Buyu suddenly felt a faint sense of unease. As expected...
Guo Yan opened his mouth and said,
"No, Miss Tang is missing!"
Fang Buyu's heart skipped a beat.
"What's going on?"
Xiaoying on the side hurriedly stepped forward and explained,
"This morning, the Golden Powder in my medicine bag was taken away by a rat. Miss Tang said she was going to the pharmacy to buy some more, but she didn't come back for an hour. I went to the original pharmacy to ask, and the doctor said he hadn't seen her there. I went to other pharmacies to ask, but they all said no one had come to buy Golden Powder. Fearing something might have happened, I went to Master Ling's house, but the guards said Master Ling had gone to see Lin Xiangli last night and hadn't returned yet. He also hadn't seen Miss Tang in the morning..."
At this point, beads of sweat had already appeared on Xiaoying's forehead. She tried to calm her breathing and continued,
"This afternoon, Lord Guo and I searched the main streets and alleys of the city, but we still couldn't find any trace of Miss Tang. Pavilion Master, what should we do?"
Fang Buyu's face already showed some weakness from his injuries, and the more he listened, the paler his face became.
Lin Bowen's death had already made the situation extremely tense. At this moment, the hidden front was revealed, and Tang Suzi disappeared at this time...
Fang Buyu didn't dare to think any further. He threw back the quilt almost the moment Xiaoying finished speaking, and despite his weak body, he got out of bed and walked towards the clothes rack.
He picked up the fur coat and gave the order.
"Xiaoying, stay in the mansion and wait. Report to me immediately if you have any news about Miss Tang. Guo Yan, immediately mobilize all the guards in the pavilion to conduct a comprehensive search for Miss Tang's whereabouts."
He paused, and after a brief thought, he made up his mind and said,
"Also, go find Zhou Jin and tell him I need his permission to arrange for some soldiers to conduct a thorough search for suspicious individuals inside and outside the city. We can't miss any clues."
"But I didn't meet you, your injury..."
Guo Yan looked at Fang Buyu, whose face was pale, and was full of worry.
"Go!"
Fang Buyu quickly fastened his fur coat and walked towards the door, while urging Guo Yan to stop him.
"yes."
*
In a desolate forest on the outskirts of the city, several men in black with agile figures and faces covered by black scarves moved silently among them, like phantoms.
"You two, go search over there, and the rest of you, follow me."
The leading man in black held a blazing torch and gave orders to his companions in a deep voice.
I thought the plan was perfect, but unexpectedly the target escaped.
Thinking of this, the leading man in black couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart.
He couldn't even handle a weak, unarmed woman. How was he going to explain this to his master when he got back?
Anger and unwillingness intertwined in his heart, making his eyes even more sinister and terrifying.
He suppressed the turmoil in his heart and added coldly,
"Once the target is found, kill immediately without mercy."
As soon as he finished speaking, he swung the sword in his hand violently. The sword light was like lightning, cutting through the night sky and slashing towards the bushes beside him.
As the sword rose and fell, a bush fell down, startling the crows in the forest and causing them to fly up and let out bursts of shrill wails...
The footsteps gradually faded away, and the forest fell into an eerie silence again.
Behind the bushes with a flattened corner, Tang Suzi cautiously poked out half of his face, his eyes full of fear and relief at surviving the disaster.
The sharpness of that sword still makes her feel scared. If the black-clothed man had not deflected the sword slightly, she would have died on the spot.
After calming down a little, Tang Suzi began to carefully observe the surrounding environment.
Judging from the footsteps that just faded away, the men in black seemed to be chasing her to the east and west, so she could only flee in the north and south directions.
But where was the south? Where did the north lead to? Would she encounter the Men in Black again? She had no idea.
She had no idea where she was at the moment. She only knew that she had just gone to buy medicine but was unexpectedly involved in a conspiracy.
When she went to buy medicine in the morning, she met a lost child who asked her for help. Out of kindness, she took the child to find his parents.
However, as she walked further and further, until she was out of the city, she noticed something strange.
When she took the opportunity to get rid of the child and hid in a secluded place, she witnessed with her own eyes the group of men in black with ill intentions.
It turned out that they were using the child as bait to get rid of her.
But why did they want to kill her?
This question lingered in Tang Suzi's mind.
She had only been back in the human world for a few months and had never made enemies...
No, if you were to say who was the only person she offended, there was one.
Is it Wang Gui?
But would Wang Gui go to such great lengths just to get rid of her?
Unable to figure it out, she decided not to dwell on it anymore. The most important thing right now was how to escape from this dangerous situation.
After careful consideration, she chose to flee north.
The dead leaves under my feet were covered with snow, and every step made a rustling sound, which was particularly harsh in the quiet night.
I don't know how long I ran, until I saw a faint light ahead.
It's the light of the torch!
Oh no, I bumped into him again! Looks like there’s no escaping this time!
Tang Suzi's heart was in her throat. Almost at the same time when the man in black turned around, a force suddenly grabbed her collar and pulled her backwards.
"hiss……"
When she fell on the man's shoulder, she heard a low groan.
When she saw who it was, she couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Fang Buyu!..."
Fang Buyu quickly made a "hush" gesture.
Why are you here? ...
Tang Suzi was full of doubts, but she could only suppress the questions in her heart. The next second, she held her breath.
Because the light around them was getting stronger and stronger, the men in black were approaching them!
The light and heat sources were getting closer and closer. Just when the man in black was only one step away from them, Fang Buyu suddenly stood up and slashed at the man in black with a palm like a flash of lightning!
The man in black was caught off guard and fell to the ground.
Fang Buyu took the opportunity to pull Tang Suzi up and ran in the opposite direction. He could faintly hear the shouts of the man in black behind him:
"Chase them! They're running that way!"
Fang Buyu and Tang Suzi did not dare to slack off at all, and shuttled through the woods under the faint moonlight.
Tang Suzi looked back from time to time, only to see several dark shadows looming at the end of his sight, like messengers of death, slowly approaching.
It was precisely because she looked back so frequently that she did not notice the danger ahead.
When she looked back again, her feet were empty and she was at the edge of a cliff.
Fang Buyu was quick to grab her, but it was too late.
The gravel under Tang Suzi's feet was covered with snow, and he slipped and began to slide down.
"careful!"
The night was dim, and by the time Fang Buyu discovered it, it was too late.
He tried his best to hold onto Tang Suzi, and both of their bodies trembled slightly from the pull.
Tang Suzi pressed his feet tightly against the rocks at the edge of the cliff and dug his fingers into the cracks in the rocks, but he was still unable to climb up.
As she struggled, drops of warm liquid dripped onto her face.
It's the smell of blood...
Under the moonlight, she saw Fang Buyu's face, which was almost distorted due to excessive force. Blood was seeping through his clothes and dripping from his right shoulder...
"Fang Buyu..."
Tang Suzi gave up struggling and stared at him blankly.
How could she forget that he was seriously injured and had not yet recovered...
"Tang Suzi, hold on to me!"
Fang Buyu roared and tried his best to pull her up.
The footsteps in the distance were getting closer and closer like the knell of death, and the man in black seemed to be approaching soon.
Tears slowly welled up in Tang Suzi's eyes. She looked at Fang Buyu, then raised her other hand and struggled to pry open his hand, bit by bit.
Fang Buyu was terrified.
"Tang Suzi, what are you doing! Pull me tight!"
He was confused and began to reach down with his other hand, trying to pull up Tang Suzi, but his body was pulled away from the cliff little by little.
At this moment, Tang Suzi used all his strength to pry open Fang Buyu's fingers.
"Tang Suzi!!"
The desperate call echoed in the dark night.
…
"Bang!"
…
"Tiao'er..."
