Chapter 141 Cliff
Heying's men had not arrived yet. After all, it was a royal garden, and it was not suitable for too many secret guards from Prince Yan's Mansion to enter. In case they were shot as assassins by the imperial guards, Xie Zhichan asked them to guard outside the garden. Therefore, it would take some time for them to arrive after hearing the whistle.
Xie Zhichan always suffered from her lack of lightness and internal strength. After fighting for a long time, as the opponent had more people, she gradually found it difficult.
Just at this moment, the docile horse under her seemed frightened and began to run madly into the woods.
Xie Zhichan was sitting on the horse's back, and was almost vomiting due to this sudden change. He could only hold the reins tightly and let the horse carry him all the way!
Pei Yi was horrified upon seeing this and tried to use his lightness skills to catch up, but he was entangled by the assassins around him and was unable to escape for a while.
While he was dealing with the people who surrounded him, he was extremely anxious, fearing that something might happen to Xie Zhichan.
At this moment, a man and a woman holding swords suddenly joined the battle and helped him deal with the assassin in the blind spot behind him, allowing him to concentrate on dealing with the assassin in front.
The people who came were none other than Miss Zhao and Mr. Zhao from the Zhenxi General’s Mansion.
The two of them were hunting in the woods when they heard the whistle blown by Xie Zhichan. Although they didn't know what the whistle was, they heard it sounded urgent, so they hurried over to see what was going on.
Seeing Pei Yi fighting with a large group of men in black, the two of them did not have time to be surprised why Pei Yi, who was paralyzed, had recovered, and they joined the battle.
Zhao Zhige and Zhao Qin quickly rushed into the center of the assassin's siege, and Zhao Qin said to Pei Yi: "Prince, go and save the Crown Prince's Consort first!"
Pei Yi quickly dealt with the two assassins closest to him, jumped out of the assassins' encirclement, and used his light skills to move towards Xie Zhichan.
I heard Dan Feng's voice behind me yelling, "Master!"
Looking back, I saw Danfeng and Yueyan had arrived with Heying's men.
As soon as they saw the scene before them, they immediately drew their swords and joined the fight. The situation in the forest changed instantly, and He Ying faced these assassins with overwhelming kung fu, and was not at all inferior.
Pei Yi was relieved about the safety of Zhao Zhige and his sister. Seeing Xie Zhichan's figure about to disappear in front of him, he only said: "Kill them all, leave no one alive!"
He then used his strength to perform Qinggong, stepped on the tree branches, and used the force to continue flying in the direction of Xie Zhichan.
Dan Feng was afraid that something might happen to his master, so he said to Yue Yan, "Yue Yan! You are good at Qing Gong, come with me! I'm here!"
Yue Yan nodded and followed Pei Yi.
The fight in the forest became more and more intense. More and more black figures fell down, and the remaining assassins became more and more terrified as they killed more. They had never seen a dark guard with such incredible combat power.
They suffered countless casualties, but the other side only suffered minor injuries.
At this time, Xie Zhichan had been brought to the edge of the cliff by the mad horse.
Pei Yi flew over, grabbed Xie Zhichan's hand, and was about to take her off the horse, when he suddenly heard a "muffled groan" and an arrow shot into his back from behind. With a powerful blow, he was pushed towards Xie Zhichan, and the two of them fell into the abyss with their horses.
"master!"
Yue Yan rushed to the edge of the cliff and stretched out her hand to grab something, but her hands were empty. She saw the figures of the two masters falling into the mist under the cliff and quickly disappeared without a trace.
Her heart was filled with excitement. The Master and the Crown Prince's Consort were such good people, but some people just didn't want them to live. With red eyes, she turned around and flew in the direction where the arrow came from, chasing the assassin who had not yet had time to retreat with the sword in her hand.
Yue Yan subdued the man in a few moves. With one strike of her sword, she cut off his arm holding the bow. With a fierce and cold expression on her face, she asked, "Tell me! Who sent you here?"
The man just showed a sneer on his face, and before Yueyan could react, he bit the poison in his mouth and died instantly.
Yue Yan was angry that she had been careless. She squatted down and tried to look for some clues on the man, but found nothing. She only saw a tattoo of Hei Wuchang on his chopped-off arm.
He used his sword to peel off the tattooed skin, wrapped it in a handkerchief and put it in the pouch around his waist.
Back to the edge of the cliff, looking at the misty cliff, tears could not stop flowing, and I remembered what the Crown Prince's Consort said: "Crying is the most useless. Don't give up hope until you are dead. Sometimes, don't give up hope even when you are already dead, because there might be a miracle." I wiped my tears again and stopped crying.
What's the use of crying? The most important thing now is to find a way to save people.
She was checking the possibility of going down the cliff when Dan Feng came and saw that there was no one around. He asked Yue Yan anxiously, "Where are the master and the Crown Prince's Consort?"
Yue Yan held her breath and said in a crying voice, "My master and the Crown Prince's Consort fell down."
Dan Feng was shocked, and looked down the cliff, only to see thick fog filling the canyon. He knew it was bottomless, and he couldn't imagine what would happen if he fell down.
He immediately fell to the ground, muttering, "My master and the Crown Prince's Consort are gone—"
Yue Yan saw Dan Feng's reaction and slapped him in the face, cursing, "What nonsense are you talking about?! We must first find a way to find more people and find a way to go down the cliff to search for Master and the Crown Prince's Consort. Even if they are dead, we must find their bodies!"
Dan Feng was stimulated by this and suddenly came to his senses: "Right! Let's go back and find someone!"
When the two returned to the forest, Heying had already dealt with all the assassins. Under Danfeng's arrangement, all the uninjured people tried to get down the cliff to look for the Prince and the Princess.
When Zhao Zhige and Zhao Qin heard that Pei Yi and the Crown Prince's Consort had fallen off the cliff, they were extremely worried. They took Dan Feng and Yue Yan back to the camp and reported directly to Emperor Jingde how the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince's Consort had been assassinated in the forest, their horses had gone mad, and both of them had fallen off the cliff.
Emperor Jingde was suddenly shocked.
Hua Manxi and Liu Ji also followed the team on this trip. Liang Qixing was busy training new recruits for the Pei family army and did not go, and Zhang Junze had many cases in the Dali Temple and could not leave.
Upon hearing this, Hua Manxi and Liu Ji knelt down in panic and begged Emperor Jingde to send the imperial guards to rescue the people.
Emperor Jingde was still counting on the five million taels of commercial tax from the capital that Xie Zhichan had promised him this year, so he was anxious and immediately sent a large group of people to look for him.
When Lu Xiuzhu heard that Ayuan and Pei Yi fell off the cliff together, he felt a dull pain in his heart. He inadvertently saw a smile on Zhao Wuyou's lips. His anger surged like a raging wave. He grabbed Zhao Wuyou's arm and said, "Come with me!" Then he pulled her back into the tent and threw her to the ground.
Lu Xiuzhu's eyes were cold as he questioned Zhao Wuyou, "Did you do this?!"
Zhao Wuyou had never seen Lu Xiuzhu so angry before. Seeing his eyes red, he became nervous and pretended to be calm, saying, "Qiongzhi, what are you talking about? What did I do?"
Lu Xiuzhu leaned forward, stared at Zhao Wuyou and said, "How dare you say those assassins were not sent by you?!"
Zhao Wuyou's eyes widened instantly, and he shouted at Lu Xiuzhu without any guilt: "What nonsense are you talking about! How could I possibly send out so many assassins with high martial arts skills? Don't slander me!"
