A Military Doctor Became a Stepmom in Ancient Times

Chapter 278 - 278 Didn't Fall


278 Didn’t Fall

Jiang Ying had to protect Ning Yue while dealing with the men in black. He had wounds on his body.

“Prince, your skills are extraordinary,” the men in black praised Jiang Ying.

“But you can’t do this either. Why struggle to hold on?” A man in black persuaded him.

Hearing the man in black’s words, Jiang Ying sneered and did not say anything. He continued to deal with them and looked behind him. They had yet to reach the edge of the cliff.

That man in black was just trying to trick him. Just look at how they had just finished the transaction and wanted to take Ning Yue away. This group of people was definitely not easy to deal with!

The two sides continued to fight. Someone took advantage of Jiang Ying’s unpreparedness to slash at him and Ning Yue.

In order to avoid it, Jiang Ying had no choice but to push Ning Yue away. As a result, the distance between the two of them widened. Immediately, someone took the opportunity to pursue and assassinate Ning Yue.

“Yueyue!” When Jiang Ying saw this, he hurriedly went forward to save her. An opening appeared on his back, and the man in black stabbed him from behind when he was not paying attention.

Ning Yue called out, “Be careful behind you!”

Jiang Ying wanted to turn around when he heard this, but he was too late. His left shoulder was pierced by the black-clothed man’s sword.

He stopped and slashed at the man in black. The man in black retreated with his sword.

Jiang Ying arrived in front of Ning Yue and shielded her behind him. The other party took advantage of Jiang Ying’s injuries to surround him again. His attacks were ruthless, and every move was fatal.

Although Jiang Ying received many injuries, he still protected Ning Yue very well.

Ning Yue’s heart ached when she saw Jiang Ying’s expression.

She couldn’t move again. Jiang Ying was at a disadvantage.

While Jiang Ying was dealing with the men in black, he glanced behind him and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He had finally arrived at the edge of the cliff.

He whispered into Ning Yue’s ear, “Yueyue, believe me.”

With that, he carried Ning Yue and retreated to the edge of the cliff, preparing to jump down.

The man in black was shocked, but he did not believe that Jiang Ying would jump down like this.

“Prince, you don’t have to do this. The future Princess Consort is a woman. She can’t withstand the pain. If you fall, your corpses will shatter!” A man in black said.

Jiang Ying looked at them coldly and hugged Ning Yue’s waist tightly. He whispered firmly into her ear, “Yueyue, trust me!”

He said it a few times in a row to make Ning Yue believe him. Clearly, he had other plans. Ning Yue did not say anything. She stretched out her hands and hugged Jiang Ying weakly.

There was no need to say the rest. Jiang Ying stopped looking at the men in black and jumped off the cliff with Ning Yue.

That man in black’s expression changed drastically. He quickly walked to the edge of the cliff, but it was pitch-black below.

“Brother, they’ll definitely die if they jump down!”

The man in black agreed in his heart, but he was worried. “Go find a firm rope. I want to go down and investigate personally!”

His subordinates were shocked. They looked at the cliff and flinched.

However, because of fear, his subordinates still went to look for the rope.

After obtaining the rope, one rope was tied to a firm branch on the cliff and the other to the waist of one of his subordinates.

Those people checked a few times but could not see Jiang Ying and Ning Yue.

They reported to the man in black, “Brother, he has indeed fallen down.”

The man in black pondered. “Forget it. Let’s go.”

They left without packing the ropes.

Not long after, the man in black stopped. “Jiang Ying brought a fake key to deceive us, which means that he guessed our goal. I think the real key must be with him!”

The subordinate in black did not understand what he meant. He looked at him in confusion and asked softly, “Brother, we don’t understand.”

The man in black snorted. “They fell off the cliff. They must be dead. We’re going down to search their bodies. The key must be with him!”

Everyone looked at the bottomless cliff and hesitated.

However, the temptation of the key was too great. That was the key to the Miracle Doctor’s Valley. It was said that there was a medicine in the Miracle Doctor’s Valley that could allow one to live forever!

Therefore, they resisted the fear in their hearts and went down the cliff to search.

What they did not know was that Jiang Ying and Ning Yue had not fallen to the bottom of the cliff.

As Jiang Ying fell, he grabbed the branch growing between the rocks. He held Ning Yue’s waist with one hand and grabbed the branch at the side with the other so that the two of them did not fall.

Jiang Ying smiled at Ning Yue and said, “I’ve said it before. Trust me.”

Ning Yue smiled. She trusted Jiang Ying. After she recovered, she would no longer be a burden to Jiang Ying.

“Yueyue, hug me tightly,” Jiang Ying said.

Ning Yue wanted to reach out and hug Jiang Ying, but she had yet to recover and still did not have the strength.

Seeing this, Jiang Ying was shocked. He tightened his grip on Ning Yue’s waist.
