He was seriously injured and lost too much blood. He must go back for treatment as soon as possible, or his life will be in danger.
On the cliff, General Lan finally led his men through the assassins on both sides, but the assassins continued to pursue him, seemingly determined to kill him here and not allow him a chance to save Ye Qingxue.
Ning Xun, along with his guards, went into the mountains to search for Ning Rong, completely disregarding their fate.
"General Lan? General Lan..." Ye Qingxue shouted loudly from below the cliff, but her voice was drowned out by the sounds of fighting.
General Lan did not hear Ye Qingxue's calls at all.
He didn't even know that Ye Qingxue had jumped off the cliff.
They had no idea where Ye Qingxue was.
But since the assassins were gathered here, he guessed that Ye Qingxue must also be nearby. He rushed forward for a short while and then saw the cliff after the sharp turn, where there were many dead people and blood.
Seeing this scene, his heart sank.
Was he too late?
With a slash and a kick, General Lan sent an assassin tumbling off the cliff. He wiped the blood from his face.
He snatched a torch from his men and shone it down the cliff, seemingly trying to see clearly whether Ye Qingxue was really down there.
At that moment, Bai Qi leaped from the forest behind him to stand in front of him, biting the hem of his robe as if trying to pull him down.
General Lan was caught off guard and almost fell. He quickly retreated and then stared at Bai Qi.
"Awooo—" Bai Qi let out a mournful wolf howl that echoed through the mountains.
Suddenly, all around became quiet, with only the mountain wind blowing.
Then, General Lan heard Ye Qingxue's voice calling out, "General Lan, I'm down here!"
General Lan heard it, as did the other assassins, and even Ning Xun's guards.
Everyone was startled.
The assassins, in particular, felt like they'd seen a ghost. That woman had been alive for so long after jumping down, and not only was she alive, but she could also speak consciously, which meant she wasn't seriously injured at all!
Could it be that she was really saved by a deity?
Ning Xun immediately looked at his trusted guard, who was both shocked and frightened. That was exactly what the assassin had told him, and judging from the direction Ye Qingxue's voice came from, she was indeed at the bottom of the cliff!
"Your Highness, are you down there? Don't panic, I'll find a way to get you up right away!" After a moment of disbelief, General Lan immediately shouted down the cliff.
Ye Qingxue said, "This cliff is very steep. Have someone tie ropes around it and come down to help!"
She had been experiencing abdominal pain and tightness, and it took a long time for the discomfort to subside after resting.
But now, after she had only shouted a little louder, that dull pain and tightness returned, and she even felt liquid flowing out from below. Ye Qingxue quickly stopped and leaned against the cliff to rest.
Xiao Bao can't be hurt, absolutely can't be hurt!
"Alright, alright, I'll go find a rope right away and go down to pull you up!" General Lan said. He didn't know that Zhuang Xin was down there, and Ye Qingxue didn't have the strength to talk to him at this moment.
Fortunately, his men had brought several hemp ropes with them, and General Lan had them quickly tied into knots.
After learning that Ye Qingxue was still alive, the assassins spared no effort in attacking and preventing General Lan from rescuing her.
Therefore, during the process of tying the rope, General Lan and his guards were attacked several times, and the guards protecting him bled one after another, and were replaced one after another.
Finally, the rope was tied. General Lan wanted to guard the top, so he arranged for three people to pull the rope, while one of them went down to rescue Ye Qingxue.
Some assassins tried to rush up and cut the rope, but Bai Qi bit off their wrists. Even General Lan cut down several assassins.
During the ordeal, the rope narrowly escaped being cut several times, causing General Lan to break out in a cold sweat. He led his men to protect the rope and fight off the assassins, inevitably sustaining several cuts in the process.
Even though he was vomiting blood, he did not back down an inch.
Ning Xun stood in the woods behind him, watching this scene from a distance of three zhang. He kept staring at the rope, eagerly hoping that someone would cut it.
Cut it off!
Cut it off!!!
He almost couldn't resist the urge to cut the rope himself, but his trusted guards stopped him.
This place isn't far from the capital, and there are so many people watching. If Ning Xun rashly steps forward and cuts the rope without being able to kill everyone present, he'll be charged with persecuting the Crown Princess, and he'll have no way out.
We can only place our hopes on those killers.
However, under Ning Xun's fiery and venomous gaze, Ye Qingxue was still pulled up!
