Chapter 135: Chen Yunyun was knocked unconscious
Gu Mian’s worries were not wrong. The carrier pigeon flew into the sky in broad daylight and was immediately discovered.
The group of people guarding the edge of the cliff were Emperor Liang’s Jinyiwei. Even the Jinyiwei commander Liu Xia was sent here, and the first person to discover it was also Jinyiwei commander Liu Xia!
"A carrier pigeon flew out from under the cliff! It seems that someone is still alive!" Liu Xia picked up the bow and arrow and prepared to shoot into the sky.
The arrow whizzed across the sky and was about to hit the carrier pigeon, but the pigeon seemed to sense the danger and turned around and flew away. The arrow missed and fell from the sky.
Liu Xia was unwilling to give up, so he mounted his horse and continued to chase after it. During the chase, he shot arrows at the pigeon several times, but either he missed or only grazed its feathers. The pigeon bounced in the air for a bit and then regained its balance!
"Damn it! What kind of carrier pigeon is this? Why is it so cunning?" Liu Xia was extremely puzzled. As the commander of the Jinyiwei, what kind of living creature had he not shot? Why was this pigeon so difficult to hit?
In fact, what Liu Xia didn’t know was that all of Liang Jingyao’s pigeons would undergo special training in the most dangerous environment. Among the surviving pigeons, the two best ones would become the pigeons of Liang Jingyao and his future wife, and only one of them was flying in the air now!
It doesn't take too long to get from the capital to Yangming Town, but because of Liu Xia's interference along the way, the carrier pigeon's flight direction deviated from Yangming Town and turned to the northwest.
However, the land leading to the northwest was not traversable by horseback, and Liu Xia was eventually blocked by the wide Jingwei Lake!
Jingwei Lake is very dangerous. Huge whirlpools may suddenly appear on the seemingly calm surface of the lake. The location of the whirlpools is not fixed, so it is rare for large or small ships to pass through here safely. Gradually, no ships pass through here anymore.
Liu Xia had to hold the reins of the horse. He looked at the carrier pigeons flying freely in the air, and angrily drew his bow and shot a few arrows, but the carrier pigeons had already flown away.
Liu Xia had no choice but to change his plan and head back to the cliff. This time, he wouldn't just sit there and wait. "Wu Huan, this is the Emperor's token. Take it and tell the Imperial Guards to do whatever it takes to find the man at the bottom of the cliff! If they can't capture him alive, kill him! I'll wait here. I want to see who they're sending the carrier pigeons to find."
Wu Huan was the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei. He took the order and replied, "Yes! I obey your command!"
Without Liu Xia's interference, the carrier pigeon found the direction to Yangming Town again. About an incense stick of time later, the carrier pigeon landed in the yard of the drunkard.
Zhan Liang, who had been waiting anxiously, saw the carrier pigeon flying back. He happily carried the pigeon back to the pharmacy and said, "Miss Lin, the carrier pigeon is back!"
Lin Xiaoyue quickly took the carrier pigeon and found a piece of cloth tied to its leg. She untied the cloth and opened it. There was a simple message written on it: Cliff outside the city.
"Oh no! Brother Liang fell off a cliff. It looks like he's not in immediate danger of death. We need to send someone to rescue him immediately!"
Zhan Liang volunteered, "I'll call all the brothers from the Silver Slash Guards. Even if it costs us our lives, we'll rescue our master!"
Lin Xiaoyue felt that rushing over like that wouldn't work, so she called out to Zhan Liang, saying, "Zhan Liang, wait a minute! I think there must be someone guarding the cliff edge. If we rush over too hastily, we'll just be throwing ourselves at the stake. So we have to be prepared!"
Zhan Liang was anxious and asked, "What preparations?"
Lin Xiaoyue glanced at the remaining earth bombs in the room and asked, "Do you know where the cliff is? Have you ever been to the bottom of the cliff to take a look?"
Zhan Liang replied, "The cliff is just beyond Shilipu. If you don't turn and head to Yangming Town, you'll end up on the cliff. No one knows what's down there, so it's not easy to go down."
Lin Xiaoyue felt a little regretful. If that was the case, it would be impossible for just a few people like the Silver Zhan Guards to go downstairs to search for people. It seemed that they could only fight against Emperor Liang's men!
She pointed at the homemade bombs and said, "Take all these with you and throw them at anyone who dares to stop you. Once everyone on the cliff is cleared, release this pigeon. Whichever way it flies down is the direction the rope will go down from."
Zhan Liang clasped his fists and replied, "Yes, I obey your command!"
As he spoke, Zhan Liang tied a circle of earth bombs around his waist, put the rest into a sack, and prepared to go to the teahouse to distribute them to other brothers.
Lin Xiaoyue watched Zhan Liang walk out of the room. She felt very uneasy. She reached out and touched the gauze on her chest and tried to sit up by herself.
Chen Yunyun happened to come in with some medicine. Seeing Lin Xiaoyue struggling to support herself with her elbow, she quickly stepped forward to help. "Sister Lin, just call me. It would hurt so much if the wound was pulled!"
Lin Xiaoyue held Chen Yunyun's hand and said, "Yunyun, don't worry about me for now. Go and make ten more homemade bombs. Zhan Liang has already gone to rescue Brother Liang. If the homemade bombs are not enough, we will have to send them to them."
Chen Yunyun looked at Lin Xiaoyue distressedly as she sat up. She handed the medicine to her and said, "Okay, remember to drink the medicine. Sit for a while and then lie back down!"
Lin Xiaoyue nodded, and after Chen Yunyun left the room, she drank the medicine in one breath, then found her clothes and slowly put them on. She was very careful, and after buttoning the last button, she activated the space invisibility and walked out of the room.
After walking into the yard, Lin Xiaoyue watched Chen Yunyun make ten homemade bombs. She raised her hand apologetically and knocked Chen Yunyun unconscious. Then she carried Chen Yunyun back to the pharmacy, stuffed her into her quilt, and covered half of her face with the quilt, facing the wall.
Before leaving, Lin Xiaoyue did not forget to stuff some sleeping pills into Chen Yunyun's mouth, mainly to prevent Chen Yunyun from waking up too early. It would be better to hide it for the time being, saving Brother Liang was the most important thing!
Lin Xiaoyue relied on the space to become invisible and walked into the yard. She picked up ten earth bombs and then ran directly to the cliff outside Shilipo with the support of space.
At this time, on the edge of the cliff, Zhan Liang and other Silver Slash Guards used earth bombs to kill all the Jinyi Guards, but they also alarmed the Imperial Guards who happened to arrive.
The commander of the imperial guards was named Ji Chao. When he smelled a strong smell of blood, he originally planned to go north to find a way down the cliff, but he turned back and went directly to the edge of the cliff where the Jinyiwei was guarding.
As a result, he saw corpses and blood all over the ground. It was simply hell on earth!
Wu Huan, on the other hand, was timidly happy in his heart. Once Commander Liu Xia died, he would no longer have to suffer humiliation and could even become a commander!
He quietly hid in a corner, looking as if it had nothing to do with him and that he didn't care. Anyway, even if the imperial guards made a contribution, he wouldn't get any benefits!
Ji Chao drew his sword, pointed at the Silver Slash Guards across from him, and asked, "Who are you?"
When the Silver Slash Guards saw that Ji Chao couldn't recognize them, they couldn't help but feel lucky that they had worn a mask and changed into ordinary clothes before going out.
In order to let Zhan Xiong feel at ease to bring the others up, Zhan Liang stepped forward and said, "What does this have to do with you? We are searching for the magical herb Dendrobium officinale on this cliff. If you dare to stand in our way of making money, be careful that you will end up like them!"
