Chapter 491 It’s Too Late



Zhao Fan looked better after hearing what Zhang Meng said: "What does Deputy General Zhang mean by this? Is there any way to turn things around?"

The ideas were all given by Zhang Meng. Zhao Fan paid more and more attention to Zhang Meng. After hearing what Zhang Meng said, he knew that Zhang Meng must have an idea.

"General, I heard from my subordinates that although they messed up this time and failed to capture Su Wenyue, it was not a complete failure. At least Su Wenyue jumped off the cliff. She would definitely die if she jumped from such a high place. If Han Yu really valued Su Wenyue that much, he would be in a state of panic because of this matter and might do something irrational. We only need to send people to guard her. If Han Yu does something wrong, we will have a loophole to exploit. Then we can join forces inside and outside to capture Yiyang City in one fell swoop. If Han Yu did not show that he loved his wife so much, then the matter would not be as serious as the general said."

"You're right. I was too nervous and lost my composure. Have they notified people over there to keep an eye on Han Yu's every move?" Zhao Fan calmed down at this time.

"General, rest assured. As soon as the news came back, I immediately gave orders. As long as there is any movement on Han Yu's side, it will not be hidden from our eyes. As for Su Wenyue, I have also sent people to look for her."

Zhao Fan was a little unconvinced when he heard Zhang Meng say this: "The cliff is so high, there is no hope for that woman to survive. Why send people to look for her? It's a waste of manpower and resources. This time, we suffered a lot of losses in order to capture Su Wenyue. So many capable people were killed or injured."

Zhao Fan felt a little painful when talking about this. Those capable people under him were trained with great efforts, so how could they withstand such consumption? What's more, now is the time when people are needed, so there is no need to waste such unnecessary things.

"There are always unexpected events. Although the cliff is high, we cannot be so sure that we didn't see Su Wenyue dead with our own eyes. We must find her alive or dead. Han Yu's people must be sparing no effort to search for her. If Han Yu is really that infatuated, let alone a living Su Wenyue, even if she is dead, he would not let her fall into our hands."

Zhao Fan's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Deputy General Zhang is right. We have to get it back even if it's just a corpse. As long as Han Yu cares about his wife, she will definitely be of use. Otherwise, when the two armies are fighting, I will push his wife first. I don't believe that he will not be affected at all!"

Zhao Fan now hates Han Yu because he almost lost his life in the last defeat. He doesn't think that his actions are shameless at all. He is happy to do anything that can hit Han Yu.

Su Wenyue jumped off the cliff, and she only felt the whirring of wind in her ears, followed by a loud bang. Under the huge impact, she felt her head was shaking, her whole body felt like she was in a cold cave, freezing cold, and then she fell into darkness. Before she fainted, she couldn't help thinking, will she be smashed into a meat pie after falling from such a height? It must be very ugly to die. It's a pity that she loves to be beautiful, but she died so miserably. I don't know if Han Yu will dislike it when he sees it? It turns out that this is what it feels like to fall to death. It's really bad!

The cliff was too high and bottomless, and only layers of fog could be seen. It was definitely not possible to jump down directly with a rope. Qi Yun took a pair of people and went to the bottom of the cliff without delay. However, the journey was not so smooth because no one had been down there before and there was no road at all. They needed to open their own way, which was a lot more work. During the journey, they also encountered many poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts.

The further Qi Yun walked forward, the more his heart sank. Although the cliff was so high, he still held a glimmer of hope in his heart. This was in the mountains with lush trees. Maybe there would be branches or something blocking his wife's way when she jumped down, reducing the force of her descent, and perhaps she could still survive. But in this situation, even if his wife was lucky enough not to die from the fall, she might encounter poisonous insects and ferocious beasts, which were all deadly dangers.

The more Qi Yun thought about it, the more anxious he became. He wished he could reach the bottom of the cliff immediately. However, no matter how anxious he was and he traveled all night long, he still reached the bottom of the cliff the next day.

However, the cliff was so high and Qi Yun came around, so he couldn't be sure where Su Wenyue jumped down, so a team split up to search.

"Captain, look! There is a lake over there. Maybe the lady fell into the lake." said a secret guard.

Qi Yun hurried over and saw the deep lake. His face lit up with joy. Based on his feeling and inference, he felt that his wife must have fallen nearby. If she fell to the ground from such a high cliff, she would definitely die as there were no branches nearby to block her. But if she fell into the lake, with the impact of the lake water, she might just be injured and not fatal.

"That's great, Captain. There's such a big lake below. Judging from the location, the lady must have jumped down from here. Maybe she's still alive."

They searched all around but found no trace of the lady, so the most likely possibility was that she had fallen into the lake. Everyone's faces showed joy when they thought that the lady might still be alive.

"But the lake is so deep, can madam swim?" A secret guard was delighted and immediately thought of a more practical question. This question stumped everyone, and the joy they had shown on their faces at discovering the lake froze.

"None of us knows this! Generally, no lady from a wealthy family would learn to swim. Although our Madam is from a merchant family, the Su family was separated from the Bei'an Marquisate after all, and she was spoiled since she was a child. Master Su and Madam Su would never let Madam learn this. If she were an ordinary girl in the village, she might be able to learn a little, but if Madam can't swim, she will be drowned even if she doesn't fall to death!"

Everyone felt heavy in their hearts after hearing these words, and Qi Yun's face also darkened.

"Go away, you can't say anything nice, you just say these unlucky words, madam is blessed with a good fortune, maybe she can really swim."

No one refuted this statement, as everyone hoped so. However, everyone present knew how small the hope was. Moreover, it had been nearly eight hours since Su Wenyue jumped down yesterday. If Su Wenyue really couldn't swim, it would be too late to save her now.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"My Lord, what shall we do?"

"Of course we have to keep looking. No matter what the result is, we have to find the madam. If the madam fell into the lake, looking at the speed of the water flow, she might have been washed to the shore. Let's search around the lake carefully again." Qi Yun said in a deep voice, and the secret guards he brought with him split up and began to search along the lake.

"Sir, look, are these shoes Madam's?" Suddenly a secret guard shouted excitedly, running over with an embroidered shoe in his hand. He found it by the lake, and it might have been washed to the shore by the lake.
