Gu Huai felt the wind slashing at his face like a knife, causing him pain. He could barely open his eyes.
But he still forced himself to keep his eyes open wide because he wanted to see the situation around him clearly.
But he kept falling all the way down, and he didn't know how long it would take to reach the bottom.
Suddenly, his waist was grabbed by a brute force and he could not go any further.
His whole body swayed in the wind.
He tugged at the rope behind him and used his internal energy to move downwards, but he was still being held tightly and could not move at all.
His brows furrowed, now certain that if there was no one holding him up from above, the rope was not long enough.
He had just tried pulling it and ruled out the first possibility.
That leaves the second possibility: the rope is not long enough!
He didn't expect that even though Nanfeng had asked someone to prepare such a long rope, it was still not long enough!
Nanfeng and his group watched from the cliff as the rope became shorter and shorter until it became a straight line!
Bei Ming stood by with a frown on his face. If he took just one step, he would fall like Gu Huai!
Nanfeng was afraid of heights and didn't dare to get too close, so he could only ask Beiming to be careful from a distance.
"Nanfeng, you said it's been so long, why is there still no news?" Bei Ming ignored Nanfeng's words to be careful, and kept looking at the bottomless cliff, and couldn't help muttering to himself.
"Has it been a long time? Only a quarter of an hour." said Nanfeng.
A quarter of an hour? Bei Ming felt that Nan Feng must have been wrong. It felt like a very long time had passed, as if several hours had passed. How could it be that only a quarter of an hour had passed?
"Master, you can't do this. I won't let you go."
Jing Kai ordered his men to prepare hemp ropes, but he was stopped by his followers.
"If we have to go down, we should go down." His followers begged bitterly.
"Shut up, I asked you to get the rope, why are you talking so much nonsense?" Jing Kai glanced at his follower coldly and said unhappily.
"Master..." Jing Kai's eyes blocked the followers' dissuasion.
The master hasn't done this for a long time. The last time he did this was for that woman.
This time too.
That woman is a disaster. He advised his master to stay away from her, but his master didn't listen at all!
"Prince Jing, one of us has already gone down. You just wait. Are you all so anxious to go down and die?" Nanfeng said.
It’s not that he didn’t trust Jing Kai, but Jing Kai looked haggard at the moment, as if he had just fallen and couldn’t get up. He didn’t think that person could go down to help.
The more likely possibility is that he will go down and cause trouble!
So it’s better to wait for news there.
Jing Kai glanced at Nan Feng and pursed his lips.
He looked at Bei Ming again. Bei Ming was just standing beside the rope, looking anxious, and had no intention of going down.
Because they all knew that it was risky for one person to go down, and sending more people down would not make much difference.
"No one knows how deep or how big it is down there. No one has ever gone down there," said Nanfeng.
"Prince, someone from the palace came to invite you again, saying that the queen is angry and she wants to see you right now."
Someone from the prince's mansion came over again, looking anxious. It seemed that the palace was pressing them hard, and they had no other choice but to come to find Jing Kai.
"Prince, if you have something else to do, go ahead and do it. Anyway, the leader belongs to our White Wolf Alliance. Even if we have to exhaust all the strength of the White Wolf Alliance, we will find him back." Nanfeng said to Jing Kai.
Jing Kai pursed his lips and said nothing.
"Prince..." His followers came to persuade him again.
After all, Xie Yunjiao's identity is there, and Princess Yunqiao's identity is also there. He hopes that his master can distinguish which one is more important.
"Prince, if the Queen blames me, I'm afraid..."
Seeing that Jing Kai had no intention of leaving, the attendant leaned forward and saluted, "Your Highness, I only do this as a last resort."
Jing Kai frowned and just realized what his follower was going to do, but it was too late.
He was already very tired and on the verge of collapsing, so his movements were naturally slower than usual.
He failed to dodge and was struck by a palm from his follower, knocking him unconscious.
His follower was very tall and strong. After knocking Jing Kai unconscious, he carried Jing Kai on his back, nodded to Nanfeng, and hurried away.
Nanfeng touched his neck and frowned.
It must have been very painful after being hit so hard by that person.
But Jing Kai was being ridiculous. Was the boss really that important to him? Even more important than his cousin?
Thinking of this, Nanfeng's brows furrowed even more tightly.
I thought the boss was always good at causing trouble, but this time he had provoked two people at the same time, but there was only one boss, so how could he divide the money?
"Hey, Nanfeng, look, the rope seems to be broken!" Bei Ming suddenly said nervously.
Nanfeng was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and immediately rushed to the edge of the cliff.
But when he was about to reach the cliff, he braked suddenly. As soon as he got close, he felt dizzy and seemed to be passing out.
His movements and pauses raised a lot of dust, catching Bei Ming off guard and causing him to cough violently.
It took a while for Bei Ming to recover. He was too lazy to argue with Nan Feng. He whipped her hard. Although he hadn't hit her hard enough, his heart sank.
Because the rope had no weight at all, Gu Huai seemed to be in trouble.
"Nanfeng, come and help!" Bei Ming said.
Nanfeng stood a little behind and helped Beiming pull the rope.
After a while, all the ropes were pulled up.
They looked at the place where the rope broke, their faces grim.
"Oh my god, he actually cut the rope without permission! How are we going to get him out?" Bei Ming said.
Nanfeng's expression became serious as he looked at the neatly cut hemp rope. He never expected that even though they had prepared such a long rope, it was still not long enough!
If it wasn't long enough, he couldn't think of any other reason why Gu Huai would cut the rope.
"Hurry, ask someone to prepare a longer rope." said Nanfeng.
"Protector, how long does it want?" asked the subordinate.
Nan Feng thought for a moment and said, "The longer, the better."
***
Jing Kai was awakened by his attendants when he arrived at the palace gate. The attendants knelt down in front of him and said with their heads raised, "I have made a mistake. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
Jing Kai looked at his followers. He was his father's subordinate. After his father was injured in the battlefield and was bedridden, his followers dispersed.
He was the only one who followed his father from the battlefield to the general's mansion and became his follower.
Although he was a follower, he taught him a lot like a father.
Seeing his followers kneeling down to him with a humble look on their faces, Jing Kai felt uncomfortable.
"Now that I'm here, I won't leave easily." Jing Kai said helplessly.
The follower breathed a sigh of relief, as he was afraid that Jing Kai would just walk away again.
Fortunately, he was not mistaken.
