Chapter 376 Found it!
An Yunxi really didn't expect Ling Changyue's choice.
Because for such a long time, Ling Changyue had always been patient and stubborn no matter how he was tortured.
Even An Yunxi admired Ling Changyue's character more and more, and felt that he was patient enough.
As a result, now, he went down from the cliff without hesitation .
Therefore, An Yunxi's expression was a bit surprised and shocked, and he immediately took a few steps forward and looked down.
This is the highest mountain nearby, very high, with rugged cliffs. Looking down from above, it is bottomless.
The forest at the bottom is extremely dense, but because it is close to late autumn, the leaves of many trees are a little withered and yellow, and they may fall off soon.
An Yunxi moved quickly, and watched with her own eyes as Ling Changyue fell, first soaring into the air, and then crashing into a protruding stone wall below.
Because he was tied up with ropes, his hands and feet were tied up, so he only paused for a moment, but the force of his downward rush did not decrease, and he continued to roll down.
An Yunxi couldn't bear to watch this.
Ling Changyue fell from such a high place, and the possibility of survival was very small.
She looked at this scene with a puzzled expression, and couldn't help but sigh softly.
Originally, I didn't intend to kill Ling Changyue directly. After all, he is still the emperor of Beiling Kingdom. If he dies, the throne will be vacant. It's less than a year before another emperor is appointed.
This man is too fragile.
An Yunxi didn't look at him much. She wanted to see Ling Changyue alive or dead. She was worried if she was not sure whether he was really dead.
"Someone come!"
An Yunxi shouted. Not long after, a black figure ran over from below.
"Princess!"
Yingfeng saluted An Yunxi respectfully.
He was one of Ling Fengxun's trusted subordinates, and he was very skilled in martial arts, so the task of protecting the princess fell on him this time.
As soon as Yingfeng came up, he found that something was wrong on the hilltop.
He remembered that there were originally two people here.
An Yunxi spoke slowly and calmly, "Ling Changyue accidentally fell from here."
After hearing this, Yingfeng's eyes widened instantly, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
He raised his head almost subconsciously and looked at the princess. The corners of his mouth trembled, and he was about to say something but stopped.
Accidentally?
He remembered that Ling Changyue was tied up and had no way to walk. It would be very difficult for him to accidentally fall off the cliff from under the tree roots over there.
Moreover, there were obvious traces of a person being dragged on the hillside!
Yingfeng wanted to ask if the princess had killed someone on purpose, but when he thought that he couldn't ask such a question, he immediately swallowed his words.
What if he guessed right, then wouldn't he know too much?
The princess didn't want anyone to know, so what if she wanted to throw him down with her?
Yingfeng knew the princess's abilities, and seeing that there was no one around, he felt that he might not be a match for the princess, so after a thousand thoughts flashed through his mind, he immediately knelt down and saluted, saying, "Princess, what do you want me to do?"
Yingfeng had a serious and loyal expression on his face.
Seeing his expression, An Yunxi did not think much and slowly said, "Take your men and follow me to search for Ling Changyue's body. We must find him alive or dead."
"I understand!"
Yingfeng received the order and immediately stood up. Then he said with some worry, "Princess, stay here. I will arrange a few people to go over there."
An Yunxi shook her head and said, "I will go and look for him too. I saw him fall with my own eyes and can find the approximate location."
Moreover, this place is still far away from the front battlefield.
Tens of thousands of private soldiers cannot detect the movement here, so this place is not dangerous.
Yingfeng heard that since the princess insisted, it was okay. Besides, there were many of his men protecting them around, so there was no difference between protecting them from here and protecting them at the bottom of the mountain.
"Princess, I know the way down the mountain. Please follow me."
An Yunxi followed immediately.
Yingfeng was somewhat surprised to find that An Yunxi's speed was not slow. At first, he did not dare to walk too fast. As a result, after trying to speed up, An Yunxi could catch up with him no matter what speed.
Afterwards, he did not think much about it, and directly used Qinggong to fly forward in the woods.
An Yunxi and Yingfeng maintained a certain distance, and did not fall behind at all.
As a person who has practiced martial arts since childhood, her physical foundation is basically good. Before her rebirth, An Yunxi also learned a lot of kung fu from Ling Fengxun. She is also talented in this aspect, and her martial arts are definitely not weak. Especially
the kung fu honed on the battlefield, it is not a fancy move. She has fought against the secret guards in the palace and was not at all inferior.
The speed of descending from the mountain was relatively fast. An hour later, An Yunxi brought a group of shadow guards to the forest below.
She found a relatively open place and looked up at the top.
The cliff was very high, but although it was indeed a cliff, the mountain wall was not straight. There were many stubborn tree branches growing on the cliff.
Then the lower part of the cliff was a relatively large slope. Because it was a place to avoid the sun, a thick layer of moss and vines grew.
Yingfeng stayed alone with An Yunxi, and then asked everyone around him to disperse to look for Ling Changyue's whereabouts. An Yunxi waited here quietly, and at the same time observed the situation nearby.
About half an hour passed.
It took a total of one and a half hours from coming down to finding someone.
Finally, a man in black came over and knelt in front of An Yunxi to report: "Princess, I found him!"
An Yunxi's originally anxious mood was relieved when she heard it.
She raised her eyebrows and said without hesitation: "Take me there."
The shadow guard led the way. At this time, the sun had already set in the west, and the light in the forest became dimmer and dimmer.
When they found the place, An Yunxi saw a figure covered in blood being placed under a tree.
The ropes on the man had been untied, but his arms and legs were obviously twisted, and he looked quite tragic.
She raised her eyebrows, walked closer to look, and then saw Ling Changyue's face clearly.
The face was half dyed red by the blood flowing from the forehead, and the other half was relatively intact. The tendons in his hands and feet were broken, and there were many scratches on his body.
Ling Changyue lay there motionless, his face was pale without a trace of blood, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his lips, as if he was already dead.
Moreover, in such a tragic state, even An Yunxi didn't believe that Ling Changyue could still be alive.
The shadow guards around him didn't say anything, but stood quietly on both sides. An Yunxi stood beside Ling Changyue, then reached out her hand to feel his breath.
