Shen Qiunian asked uneasily.
Although he was ruthless, he also felt that the situation was not good at this time.
If Fang Qingyue returned to the capital alive, the conspiracy between the two of them would definitely get out of control.
Song Xiaoya's eyes turned cold: "We must not let her go back. Once she shows up, Shen Yuhan will save her at all costs, and all our plans will be disrupted."
Shen Qiunian gritted his teeth, anger mixed with anxiety: "Then what should we do now?"
"If it's too late by the time the assassins report back, won't we be finished?"
Song Xiaoya pondered for a moment, then her eyes became more fierce: "We will go there in person and make sure she has no chance of survival."
"Fang Qingyue is a chess piece that could explode at any time. If we don't completely eliminate her, she will become our biggest hidden danger."
She stood up slowly, determination in her eyes.
After hearing this, Shen Qiu Nian nodded. Although he was still a little hesitant, he had no way out now and could only follow Song Xiaoya's arrangements.
The two of them quickly boarded the carriage, and the wheels rolled, heading towards the wilderness.
Inside the carriage, Song Xiaoya looked calm, her eyes slightly narrowed, and she was obviously thinking about every next step.
Shen Qiu Nian sat aside, his eyes fierce, his fingers tightly gripping the scabbard, feeling complicated and uneasy.
However, before they reached their destination, they encountered the secret guards sent by Shen Yuhan on the road.
Those secret guards were in plain clothes, but each of them had an aura that could not be underestimated. They were obviously masters who had received elite training.
As the carriage reached the intersection, it was stopped by a secret guard.
"Excuse me, why are you two heading to this remote mountain road?" The secret guard had no expression on his face and his tone was cold.
Song Xiaoya was startled. This group of people was the rescue team sent by Shen Yuhan, so she didn't dare to act rashly.
She covered her face slightly with her veil and said calmly, "We were just out for a walk. We heard that the scenery on this mountain road is beautiful, so we came here to take a look."
The secret guard did not let her go immediately, but scanned the carriage with sharp eyes, as if trying to judge the truth of her words.
After a while, the secret guard waved his hand and signaled to let them pass.
Song Xiaoya breathed a sigh of relief calmly and told the driver to continue driving.
However, as the carriage continued to move forward, Song Xiaoya and Shen Qiu Nian both knew that the situation had become more tense.
The appearance of the secret guards indicated that Shen Yuhan had mobilized his forces and started looking for Fang Qingyue.
If they fail to catch up with the assassin and find Fang Qingyue, all their plans may fail.
The carriage bumped along the rugged mountain road, and the atmosphere inside was depressing.
Song Xiaoya would occasionally lift the curtain and observe the movements around her, her expression becoming increasingly gloomy.
Shen Qiu Nian sat aside, feeling restless, the scabbard in his hand making a constant rattling sound.
"You and I must be extremely careful on this trip."
Song Xiaoya reminded coldly, with a hint of cruelty in her eyes.
Shen Qiu Nian snorted heavily, his heart still filled with anger: "Don't worry, as long as I find that woman, I will kill her with my own hands."
The carriage finally approached the address given by the assassins. The desolate mountain road gradually became deeper and quieter. There was no one around, only the occasional sound of wind mixed with the rustling of leaves.
Song Xiaoya waved her hand, signaling the driver to stop, and the two of them got off the car quietly.
Fang Qingyue heard some noise outside, someone was coming, but she didn't dare to move at all and could only hide herself tighter.
She vaguely heard Song Xiaoya and Shen Qiu Nian talking in low voices outside, and suddenly felt uneasy.
"Haven't you found the person yet?" Song Xiaoya questioned the assassin coldly, her voice carrying an irresistible pressure.
The leading assassin whispered, "Miss, we didn't find her body on the cliff. I'm afraid she's hidden herself."
Song Xiaoya frowned slightly and glanced coldly at the cliffs around her.
Her eyes were as sharp as an eagle, as if they could penetrate every inch of darkness between the cliffs.
She slowly walked to the edge of the cliff, a sneer flashing in her eyes: "Fang Qingyue is a smart person. If she really wanted to escape, she would definitely find a hidden place. She can't just disappear on this cliff for no reason."
After saying that, she turned around and looked at the surrounding terrain, and her eyes suddenly fell on the narrow cave.
Although the cave was extremely hidden, Song Xiaoya's eyes still keenly captured the unusualness here.
Fang Qingyue was hiding in the cave. Although she couldn't see what was happening outside, she could feel that Song Xiaoya's gaze seemed to be moving towards the direction where she was hiding.
Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, almost jumping out of her throat.
"Go check that way."
Song Xiaoya raised her chin and pointed in the direction where Fang Qingyue was hiding, her tone cold and ruthless.
Shen Qiu Nian followed closely behind, walking towards the cave with a ferocious sneer on his face.
He casually kicked a stone on the ground and looked around.
Fang Qingyue knew that she was about to be exposed, and the cold sweat on her forehead slid down her cheeks.
She held her breath desperately and bit her lips hard to prevent herself from making any sound.
Just as Shen Qiu Nian and Song Xiaoya approached the cave entrance, Fang Qingyue accidentally kicked a stone at her feet, making a slight noise.
Chen Qiu Nian keenly noticed the faint sound, his eyes turned cold, and he walked to the pile of stones with a grin.
"Fang Qingyue, come out!"
Shen Qiu Nian sneered, his voice filled with a sinister chill.
Fang Qingyue didn't move, her heart filled with despair.
Shen Qiu Nian stopped talking nonsense, suddenly grabbed her wrist and dragged her out from behind the pile of rocks.
Fang Qingyue was so thin that she was unable to resist and could only be dragged out of the cave by Chen Qiu Nian.
