In the abyss, all you can hear is the sound of huge water flowing continuously onto the rocks.
Wei Hongmei and her men wandered around the cliff, searching non-stop, but found nothing. There were only a lot of bloodstains and some torn clothes hanging on the branches.
"Boss, the cliff is so deep that even a great immortal would have difficulty saving us." The thin man swallowed his saliva and looked at the cliff that seemed to have no end under his feet.
They are very familiar with the terrain of this area. There are no caves and no place to stay. Even a bird flying here will be killed.
Wei Hongmei thought about it and felt that there was no sign of survival. She reached into her bosom and took out a bamboo tube, threw it upwards, and a strange dark green light flashed across the night sky.
At this moment, Wei Hongmei suddenly saw something out of the corner of her eye. She was startled and turned her head sharply to look.
She saw people she was familiar with standing on the cliffs!
Then a blood-stained sword was placed on her neck, and a devilish voice rang in her ears, "Boss Wei, you hid yourself really well."
Wei Hongmei glanced at Song Yushu who was looking at her extremely coldly, then glanced at her subordinates who had been subdued. She murmured "I'm sorry" to Song Yushu, and then cut her own throat with the sword at her neck.
Blood gushed out from the sky, and Wei Hongmei fell off the cliff with a smile on her face. She had had enough of this kind of life. If only she had known that the person she was clinging to was King Jing...
Song Yushu closed his eyes tightly, with endless sighs in his heart. Wei Hongmei finally sacrificed her life to him in order to save the Cao Gang.
The newly appointed leader of the Cao Gang had to curry favor with Prince Yu in order to take back his family property. For the sake of his family property, he had to obey Prince Yu's orders to kidnap the prince and had to pretend to be a spy.
The reason why Lu Zhixing and Song Yushu were able to be assassinated accurately at all times along the way was also because of the information she provided.
"Boss!—" Everyone in the Cao Gang was extremely sad. They were all Wei Hongmei's confidants and had watched her grow up.
Lu Zhixing jumped to Song Yushu with a chill, and carried her along the cliff all the way to the bottom.
Long before setting up camp, Song Yushu secretly sent people from Luoxue Villa to investigate the cliff as a last resort. Just when the wild boar appeared, the people from Luoxue Villa were able to nail nails on the cliff so that everyone had a place to stay.
The huge splash of water at the bottom of the cliff made everyone unable to see the road clearly, and Wei Hongmei, who had cut her throat earlier, was lying on her back in the deep pool and sank in a moment.
The Cao Gang members knelt on the ground and kowtowed to her several times before being dragged away from the bottom of the cliff by Lu Zhixing's men.
Song Yushu, his body icy cold, hugged Lu Zhixing tightly and whispered to him, "Ah Xing, it's time for you to wake up."
Although Lu Zhixing had intended to seize the throne and would rebel against his relatives in the past, he always kept a place for them in his heart and was unwilling to do anything too drastic.
But starting today, he really needs to wake up.
Song Yushu wanted revenge and wanted to kill his enemies with his own hands, but he definitely did not want to instigate Lu Zhixing to abandon his relatives. It was just that the imperial power was cold, especially in the current situation. If he was kind to them, it would be irresponsible to his own people.
Lu Zhixing didn't say anything, but just hugged Song Yushu tightly and quickened his pace.
Peace was restored under the thousand-foot cliff. A group of armored men appeared on the cliff. They had seen the green signal, which meant that there were no living people at the bottom of the cliff.
Shooting the prince had to be done thoroughly. The leader waved his arm and said, "Go down and search!"
After searching for a whole day and night, they found no sign of anyone alive, nor was there any trace of anyone leaving the bottom of the cliff.
Of course, they didn't dare to go down to the bottom of the cliff directly. After all, the waterfall was too big, and several people died while exploring it.
In the end, they could only return in disappointment, ride back to Kyoto and report to their master.
The emperor received the news and paused for a moment. He sighed softly and put down the memorial in his hand. "I can only apologize to Prince Jing."
Who allowed him to be more prominent than Lu Yanzhou even though he was blind? Didn't he know his own origins? From childhood to adulthood, he had never once understood his place.
Prince Yu Lu Zhichen couldn't sleep the entire night after receiving the news. This brother who had oppressed him for so many years was dead? It was like a dream. In the middle of the night, Prince Yu's mansion was filled with singing and dancing.
The old master of the Lin family and Lin Zong were a little bit unbelievable when they received the news from Prince Yu Lu Zhichen.
Especially Old Master Lin, he stared at the secret letter in silence, "Will Pu'er die so easily? You are a little too careless. If you can't find her at the bottom of the cliff, she will die?"
"The cliff is so deep that even the masters of the palace dare not go down to explore. How can King Jing still be alive?" Although Lin Zong was a little unconvinced, after all, it was the emperor and their Lin family who took action this time.
How could a blind Lu Zhixing survive under the siege of two opposing forces? Just relying on the little influence of his little chief official?
As the person who brought up Lu Zhixing, Old Master Lin never believed that Lu Zhixing could die so easily.
Others didn't know, so how could he not know? The soldiers of Prince Jing's Mansion were no ordinary people, but former members of the Eagle Division!
Seeing that Old Master Lin still didn't seem to believe it, Lin Zong became a little impatient. How powerful could a blind prince be? He had been so arrogant for so long, it was time for him to stop bothering the Lin family.
"Okay, Dad. Even if he didn't die and could come back, the power in Kyoto would have been absorbed by Chen'er long ago. Just wait and see!" Lin Zong proudly flicked his sleeves and left, not paying any attention to his father's expression.
Old Master Lin's chest was heaving with rage. He raised his hand and called over an old butler, "Go, order people to strictly guard the gates of Kyoto. If anyone finds Pu'er, strangle her immediately!"
With Lu Zhixing's temper, if he really wasn't dead, he would be the Lin family's biggest rival!
The old housekeeper looked at Old Master Lin embarrassedly without saying a word. He could no longer mobilize the people in the Lin Mansion. Old Master Lin's power had long been disintegrated and absorbed by Lin Zong. He was already an old man with no power or influence.
Lin Zong was giving him face and pretending to be nice in front of him. But until today, Old Master Lin found out that he had been sidelined by his own son!
"The Lin family is destroyed!" Old Master Lin was so angry that he shouted to the sky, spitting blood and fell on the chair.
The people in power of the Lin family were imprisoned forever in the deep mansion of the Lin Mansion.
The happiest people about Lu Zhixing's death were Lin Zong and Lu Zhichen. When they were happily preparing to take over Lu Zhixing's power and property, a piece of news came from the city gate.
Lin Zong's eyes went dark when he heard this. Lu Zhichen even ignored the prince's etiquette and directly picked up the messenger, gritting his teeth and saying, "What did you say?"
"Then, then King Jing, return home!"
