Chapter Fifty-One: The Cliff's Astonished Horse

  Looking at Yang Liuqing's expression, Liu Qing could determine that it was not Yang Liuqing who did it. Although Yang Liuqing often flirted with Hu Zhongren's wife, he only made a mess of this matter, and he was just troubled by love, resenting Hu Zhongren for marrying his beloved Xiulian, but not ending well, resulting in Xiulian being burned to death, and himself being separated from her by the living and the dead. As for great evil, he didn't count as one, but now Yang Liuqing suffered a blow from Hu Zhongren again, and was forced to come to Hanhai Country, would his heart rise up with resentment? If new hatred added to old grudges, would he take Zhenzhen hostage?

  Staring at Yang Liuqing, Liu Qingqing's mental abacus was clicking away, thinking to herself: if you don't enter the tiger's lair, how can you get the tiger's cub? Why not follow Yang Liuqing and see if she can hook a fish? With this idea in mind, Liu Qingqing made up her mind and smiled: "Although I cannot immediately decide on marrying Young Master Biao, I have decided to make friends with him. When it comes to love, it depends on fate. Young Master Biao has experienced many things and should understand this principle even more. Let's talk about this later? For now, I want to see Yan Yan, it's been a long time since we last met, and I miss her dearly."

  Yang Liuqing also knew that it wouldn't be easy to get Liu Qingqing, so she thought it would be okay to cultivate some feelings first. She agreed happily. Liu Qingqing sent a servant to inform Blue Sister and the others of her whereabouts, then set off with Yang Liuqing towards the Yang estate. The two of them left Smoke Flower Alley, got on horseback, and rushed together towards the villa district of Hanhai State's capital.

  The villa area of the capital city of Hanghai is the main gathering place for foreign guests, adjacent to the palace, with abundant materials, and can be said to be the second place that creates tax revenue for Hanghai. Yang Liuqing's mansion was chosen at the edge, and when he chose the location, he made preparations, and would eventually have a showdown with his cousin, having three burrows like a cunning rabbit, and must have his own independent industry and residence. In Hanghai, his industry is Jin Yin Fei Cui Fang, and his family business is this villa-like ancient castle.

  The horse carriage was traveling along the official road, and Liu Qingqing and Yang Liuying were walking and chatting. Suddenly, the driver shouted that something was wrong, and the horse got startled.

  The carriage suddenly galloped, following a path down the slope, and the coachman was so frightened that he fell off the carriage. The two people in the carriage were not flustered at all, they were very bold and fearless. Although the carriage was shaking violently, Yang Liuqing jumped up onto the running horse, grasping its long mane with both hands, her feet tightly clamped on either side of the horse's body. When she looked out from the carriage, there was a patch of bright red on the horse's buttocks - it was all blood!

  No wonder the horse is frantic.

  It turned out that someone was sabotaging, Liu Qingqing reached into her pocket and took out a bottle of medicine, and didn't care about the details, opened the bottle cap and poured it on the horse's buttocks wound, the horse became more violent, ouch.

  Yang Liuqing shouted: "What are you doing!" Both hands turned and hugged the saddle tightly.

  A miracle happened. After the BMW's buttocks were medicated, the bleeding stopped instantly, and the pain naturally subsided. The horse finally stopped its frantic gallop and came to a stop under Yang Liuqing's control.

  The night was beautiful, with a wisp of cloud drifting across the moon. The ground was bathed in a soft, silvery light. Two people got out of their carriage to take in the view, and immediately broke out into a cold sweat. It turned out that they were standing at the edge of a precipice, a sheer cliff that plunged thousands of feet down to the bottom. If the carriage had gone any further forward, it would have plummeted to the bottom of the cliff.

  This is the famous Fragrant Valley of the Kingdom of Hanhai. The valley stretches for hundreds of miles, and its low-lying terrain makes it invisible in the daytime, with only a vast expanse of white mist visible. At night, it's impossible to distinguish the boundary between the valley and the land, unless you notice the fences and signs surrounding the area. Looking across the valley, you see endless dunes of yellow sand, rising and falling in strange shapes, forming a bizarre landscape that feels eerie and frightening at night.

  "Xianggu? How did we end up here?" Yang Liuqing said, "This horse is startled in a strange way!"

  Liu Qingqing looked around, took a sniff, "Ah, it smells so good! With such a wonderful fragrance and such a bright moonlight, my friend under the carriage, you'd better come out quickly!"

  As they spoke, a man emerged from under the carriage and stood up straight. When Liu Qingqing and Yang Liuying looked over, this person was the coachman from earlier. No, he was wearing clothes like the coachman's.

  "Good eyesight! You actually knew I was under the carriage." The fake coachman said with a smile.

  Liu Qingqing said, "I'm guessing you're hiding under the carriage. It's desolate and uninhabited here, not even a mouse can hide its body, let alone a big living person like you. You're definitely not hiding under the horse, so it must be under the carriage."

  Yang Liuqing said: "I'm surprised, Qingqing, how did you know it wasn't just an ordinary horse startled, but someone intentionally did it?"

  Jia Ma Fu said: "I also want to know!" He himself slid down the carriage, doing it as naturally as possible. How did Hua Kui find out?

  Liu Qingqing smiled, "What's so difficult about this? I saw the wound on the horse's buttocks and based on the position of the wound, I determined that it was you, groom! Who are you? Why did you frame me and Young Master?"

  "When entrusted with a mission, one must see it through to the end. You don't need to worry about so much, today either you die or I live." The fake Mafra opened up his stance and raised a fierce flame that reached the sky.

  Liu Qingqing took a sip, damn it, I really saw an ancient martial arts duel. Took a look at Yang Liuqing "Young Master, it's up to you now!" and quickly flashed far away.

  Yang Liuqing also spread out a white crane, opening up the scene, and gazing at each other, the two fought in one place. Liu Qing pulled the horse carriage to the back a bit, which was too close to the cliff. After unloading the horse carriage, the wheels were all broken, and the crossbeam was all twisted, it couldn't be thrown away. Looking at the horse's buttocks, the wound had already healed, this medicine really worked well, how did Hu Zhongren research it, these ancient people, these traditional Chinese doctors, are truly too mysterious. She patted the horse's neck and whispered: "Good horse, good horse, I've wronged you, letting a fine horse like you pull a carriage, it's really a waste of talent. You, follow me to watch some martial arts movies." Her gaze focused on the two people fighting.

  This horse is Yang Liuqing's Snow Green. Or was it given to Yang Liuqing by Hu Zhongren? The precious horse seemed to understand what Liuqing said, let out a loud snort, and grazed on the vast expanse of wild chrysanthemums in full bloom.

  The two people fighting on the field were different. They came and went, with flashes of swords and shadows, fighting fiercely. Liu Qingqing felt like he had seen the unparalleled martial arts of Mount Hua's swordsmanship. It seemed that Liu Qingqing was not just a useless pretty face, but also had some real skills, as he calmly and steadily guarded the door while still having the strength to counterattack. His own fist technique was no match for this fake carman's, luckily he didn't underestimate him and took matters into his own hands, or else his life would have been in this fake carman's hands. This fake carman's martial arts were quite high, on par with Yang Liuqing's, but he seemed to be in a hurry to win, which put him at a disadvantage. In the end, Yang Liuqing used the "Fairy Picks Peaches" move to snatch away his short knife and pressed the sword against the fake carman's throat.

  "Who sent you?" Yang Liuqing shouted sternly, looking at the stranger and thinking that he was probably a hired killer.

  Jia Ma Fan smiled calmly: "Just take the life, no need to ask more!" Liu Qingqing secretly admired him, he's really something. Is this the legendary great husband and hero?

  Liu Qingqing sat up straight in the carriage and said, "Forget it, let him go."

  Yang Liuqing refused, pointing the sword tip directly at the opponent's throat, "I don't believe he's not afraid of death!" The fake groom's lips moved slightly, but ultimately didn't speak. It seems that Wang Ruofei, who views death as a return, is everywhere in ancient times, and China's traditional culture is well reflected in this fake groom.

  Liu Qingqing suddenly cut in, saying loudly: "Don't make things difficult for him, can't you have some martial ethics? He's here for me, there's no need to say more, I already know who wants to harm me."

  Jia Ma Fu was taken aback by his words, and Yang Liu Qing also asked in surprise: "How did you figure it out?"

  "It was his expression that told me, and he has already come to our side. If you don't let this man go, he will take drastic measures and kill him."

  The fake coachman was shocked by the words and looked at Xiang Gu in terror. At this time, the sound of horseshoes came from afar, and several people appeared before them in the blink of an eye. Yang Liuqing felt a slight movement of his sword tip, and when he looked again, the fake coachman had already lost his life. Yang Liuqing hastily asked: "I didn't kill him, who did? Which one of you killed him?"

  The people who came were Lan Ji, Hu Zhongren and Jing Wangzi. They looked at Yang Liuqing's question and felt inexplicable. Yang Liuqing looked at Hu Zhongren and shouted: "It must be you, only you can take someone's life in an instant, you want to kill someone to silence them, right?"

  Without waiting for Hu Zhong's reaction, Liu Qingqing let out a long sigh: "Geez, if your brain was as agile as your martial arts skills, that would be great."

  Yang Liuqing still refused to give up, and Liu Qingqing said: "It wasn't him. Who would be stupid enough to kill someone in front of two witnesses? He died from fright, falling onto the tip of your sword."

  It's a shame to be with someone as stupid as you, and yet you still dream of marrying me, Liu Qingqing. Go back to the drawing board!

  He bowed to the three of them and said, "We're fine, but the carriage has a problem. King Jing, please have your men take the fake coachman back for burial and see if anyone recognizes him. If we can find out who wanted to harm me, that would be even better." By now, King Jing's attendants had also caught up with them.

  Yang Liuqing said: "Didn't you say you already knew who it was? Why are you still talking like this?"

  Liu Qingqing said, "Big brother, please use your brain, okay? If I really saw it, would I say it out loud? Do you think I want to scare him? Who knows he'd be frightened to death just by listening?"

  Several people laughed. Yang Liuqing also smiled awkwardly and scratched his head.

  Liu Qingqing looked at Hu Zhongren and said, "Sorry, I still need to trouble you, Hu Shao. My horse is injured."

  Hu Zhongren stretched out his arm, and Liu Qingqing took a leap, jumping onto the horse's back. "Let's go ahead!" Hu Zhongren whipped the horse, and the horse galloped forward with its four hooves open. Hu Zhongren was overjoyed that Liu Qingqing had chosen him among all the people, making him extremely satisfied. He wanted to sing a song to express his elated mood, but thinking of Liu Qingqing's reckless behavior made him want to teach her a lesson. However, he was afraid she would be disobedient and not listen to his teachings. His mind was tangled with thoughts, ultimately turning into one sentence: "It was really too dangerous just now, you must be more careful in the future!"

  Liu Qingqing didn't care and ended the conversation with a simple "I know." As they saw the official road from afar, Liu Qingqing said: "Take me to Yangliuqing's mansion, I want to see Yanyan."
