However, after waiting for a long time, no one from the King of Qin came. Ling Xiang looked at the setting sun in the west, feeling vaguely uneasy.
Although the King of Qin was a scoundrel, he was extremely proud and would not lie to anyone. His men hadn't shown up, most likely because they had encountered an accident.
Gao Zhenzhen couldn't possibly harm Nangong Yu. She even resorted to the self-torture trick. She must be planning something bad to deal with him.
What should she do, leave or return to the Cliff of Broken Hearts and expose Gao Zhenzhen's conspiracy?
It’s difficult…
Ling Xiang looked at Lian Cailiang and Xiaoyu, and handed the token to Lian Cailiang:
"Uncle Lian, you and Xiaoyu should return to the capital first. If you encounter anyone from the Qin Palace on the way, take out the token, explain the situation, and have them rush to the Cliff of Broken Hearts."
"What about you?" Xiaoyu was anxious.
"I'm going to take a look at the Cliff of Broken Heart."
"No!" Xiaoyu and Lian Cailiang immediately dissuaded them.
"It's been so long, maybe something happened at the Cliff of Broken Hearts. I've been dragged into this matter and can't get out of it. If anything happens to the King of Qin, the royal family will not let me go." Ling Xiang said firmly.
"Uncle Lian, hurry up and go find reinforcements. If you can't find anyone from the Qin Palace, you can trust the Huai Palace and Shuntian Palace. No matter who you ask for help, you have to do it quickly!"
Ling Xiang explained everything and rushed to the Cliff of Broken Hearts.
Xiaoyu turned and ran down the mountain. Noticing that Lian Cailiang hadn't caught up, she turned back and urged him, "Uncle Lian, hurry up! The young lady is waiting for us to find reinforcements!"
Lian Cailiang smiled and said, "Don't worry."
"The situation is urgent, why aren't you in a hurry?" Xiaoyu didn't understand.
Lian Cailiang walked up to her, waved his hand, and knocked Xiaoyu unconscious. He clicked his tongue twice and said, "It's a miracle that such a stupid girl like you can survive until now."
Lian Cailiang carried Xiaoyu to the tree, took off the mask, and revealed a sharp face.
His mission was to ensure that Ling Xiang met King Qin. He was the one who secretly leaked his presence in the tree just now, with the purpose of letting King Qin discover them.
Unexpectedly, King Qin actually trusted Ling Xiang so much, and the King Qin's token fell into his hands so easily. This was really a happy gain. He could use it to exchange for a first-class merit after he returned.
Just as he was feeling proud, a dagger silently appeared at his neck: "Tell me, where is the real Lian Cailiang?"
Fake Lian Cailiang was shocked, "Didn't you leave?"
"You don't think your disguise is flawless, do you?" Ling Xiang thrust the dagger into his throat. "On the count of three, tell me where Lian Cailiang is, or you'll die!"
“1!”
Fake Lian Cailiang was incredulous: "No one has ever been able to see through my disguise. How did you find out?"
"2!" Ling Xiang would not waste time answering questions for the enemy.
She had already suspected Lian Cailiang since he proposed to act together with the King of Qin.
What really made her certain that this person was an imposter was that when she asked him to get help, he actually agreed.
If Lian Cailiang really did take on all the risks, he would definitely risk his own life and would not leave them to her.
"If I die, Lian Cailiang won't be able to live either!" The fake Lian Cailiang didn't believe that Ling Xiang dared to kill him.
"3! Wrong answer! Die!" Ling Xiang didn't waste any words and used his spiritual power to kill him.
The fake Lian Cailiang panicked and immediately said, "It's in that ancient temple. There's a dark room inside. Lian Cailiang is inside."
Ling Xiang took out a golden needle and pierced the acupuncture points of the fake Lian Cailiang, knocking him unconscious, and then immediately woke Xiaoyu up.
Xiaoyu was confused: "Miss, I feel dizzy... That's not right, didn't you leave?"
Ling Xiang didn't have time to explain. He handed the King of Qin's token to Xiaoyu and instructed her, "Hurry back to the capital. If you encounter anyone from the King of Qin, use the token to have them rush to the Cliff of Broken Hearts. Regardless of whether you encounter anyone from the King of Qin's mansion or not, quickly go find Master Yuan from Shuntian Prefecture and ask him to come to the Cliff of Broken Hearts to rescue them!"
Xiaoyu was confused: "Miss, isn't this the task you assigned to Uncle Lian?"
"Don't worry about anything else, just go! Now you are the only one who can go get help!" Ling Xiang pushed Xiaoyu away.
Xiaoyu had no idea what was going on, but she ran away, saying, "Don't worry, Miss. I will definitely do my best to complete the task!"
"Protect yourself!" Ling Xiang put aside his worries and quickly rushed to the ancient temple.
In the dark room, Lian Cailiang was found sleeping.
"Uncle Lian!" Ling Xiang woke him up.
"Miss……"
Before Lian Cailiang could say anything, Ling Xiang pulled him out, leaving the fake Lian Cailiang in the dark room. "Time is running out. Come with me. We'll explain on the way!"
Lian Cailiang was a soldier and had seen all kinds of emergencies. He quickly followed Ling Xiang's pace.
On the way, Ling Xiang explained to Lian Cailiang what happened:
"Gao Zhenzhen won't harm Nangong Yu. It's impossible for Nangong Yu to have been gone for so long and not come back. Something must have happened. When we get to the Cliff of Broken Hearts, you will pretend to be the bad guy and pretend that you are the fake Lian Cailiang. No matter what happens, even if a knife is put to my neck, you must protect yourself and trust me 100%!"
Lian Cailiang realized the seriousness of the matter: "Don't worry, Miss!"
On the other side, the man in the gluttonous mask ordered people to hang Gao Zhenzhen on the edge of the cliff.
Gao Zhenzhen immediately objected: "My Lord, this is not our plan!"
The Taoxie masked man smiled and said, "It's to make it more realistic, Miss Gao. I'll excuse you for a moment. His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin should be arriving soon."
"Okay, don't hurt the prince!" Gao Zhenzhen ordered.
"Okay, don't worry, I have always been a trustworthy person." The man in the gluttonous mask seemed very easy to talk to.
Gao Zhenzhen had information about the other party's sister, whom he cared about the most, so she was not worried about the other party playing tricks and waited quietly for Nangong Yu to arrive.
However, the rope around her wrist was too thin and too tight, and she couldn't stand it. "Hey, Master, my hand hurts. Can you change to a thicker rope?"
The glutton masked man suddenly stretched out his hand and listened carefully for a moment. "Be alert! Here she comes! Shield her mouth!"
Before Gao Zhenzhen could feel surprised, her mouth was blocked.
A foul smell rushed into her chest. What did they use on her that smelled so bad?
In order to make it look realistic, she endured it!
Nangong Yu rushed to the Broken Heart Cliff and saw Gao Zhenzhen hanging on a branch on the edge of the cliff. His pupils suddenly shrank:
"Let her go!"
"It is rumored that the King of Qin dotes on Miss Gao very much. Now it seems that the rumor is true." The man in the gluttonous mask sat on the chair, looking at Nangong Yu slowly.
Nangong Yu met the gaze of the man in the Taotie mask with his full aura: "Tianlang, if anything happens to Zhenzhen today, I will make sure that you and the entire Tianlang Palace are buried with her!"
"Pa pa pa!" The Lord of the Heavenly Wolf Hall, nicknamed Heavenly Wolf, clapped slowly, "As expected of the Lord of the Rakshasa Hall, you recognized me at first sight."
Nangong Yu was alone and deeply surrounded by the enemy, but it seemed as if there were thousands of troops behind him, and his aura directly crushed the enemy: "Let Zhenzhen go, and I will spare your life!"
