Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 1068 Now, it is beyond the reach of others.

“Ninth Prince, it seems they have gone deep into the dense forest.” Liu Yun stood up and turned to look at him.

"Lead the way." Lu Yunfei's expression was stern.

Liu Yun nodded and said, "Yes!"

The deeper they went into the dense forest, the more obvious the signs of fighting and fleeing became.

After walking only a few hundred steps, they saw the corpses of the rebels and their wounded brothers.

"Ninth Prince, Lord Liuyun!" Two guards saw them and immediately stumbled over.

"Where is the princess?" Lu Yunfei asked anxiously.

The two men knelt down with a thud, their faces full of guilt: "Our men were scattered by the rebels, the princess was injured, and Lord Xiao led his men to chase after them. We and the other brothers stayed behind to cover their retreat, and now we have completely lost contact with them. We don't know how the princess and Lord Xiao are doing."

"Go back to town first, find a doctor to treat your injuries, and then head back to Jiangbei City."

"Aren't you going to Southern Mongolia?" The two looked on in astonishment.

Lu Yunfei said, "There are rebels who want to assassinate Princess Yingying. It is not safe to go back now. Moreover, there are bandits causing trouble in the border town and the official road has been cut off. Now is not a good time to go to Nanmeng."

Liu Yun nodded and said, "Let's put aside the matter of the princess returning to Nanmeng for now. You should return to Jiangbei City first."

"Yes!" After accepting the order, the two hurriedly walked out of the dense forest.

Lu Yunfei and Liu Yun continued their pursuit towards the dense forest.

The northern border region is vast, with many wild forests. Once inside, unless one is an experienced hiker, it is easy to lose one's way.

Judging from the tracks of these rebel assassins and Yuwen Ying's team, they must have lost their way after escaping into the dense forest, and their whereabouts are still unknown.

"Ninth Prince, there are two corpses of rebels here." Liu Yun squatted down beside the corpses to examine them and immediately reported, "The bleeding hasn't stopped yet; they've been dead for no more than half an hour."

Lu Yunfei looked ahead.

Its daybreak.

The dense forest gradually brightened.

Sunlight filters through the treetops, casting dappled shadows.

Some traces that were invisible in the early hours of the morning gradually became clear.

Liu Yun quickly discovered the group's tracks: "Ninth Prince, they must have fled towards the cliff."

Lu Yunfei's heart tightened, and he took a step forward, immediately rushing towards the cliff.

"Ninth Prince, wait for me!" Liu Yun had already chased after him at top speed, but he didn't expect that his lightness skill had unknowingly fallen so far behind that of the Ninth Prince.

During his four years in the northern frontier, the Ninth Prince trained diligently day and night.

He was already a master, and now his martial arts skills are even more unmatched.

Throughout the entire Northern Frontier, apart from the Prince, even the Princess might not be a match for the Ninth Prince.

Liu Yun dared not be careless. He chased after them, panting heavily, but still could not catch up.

Lu Yunfei was the first to reach the cliff. When he saw the strips of cloth left in the thorn bushes on the edge of the cliff, his heart clenched instantly.

This is a piece of fabric left from Yuwen Ying's clothes being torn by thorns, and there are still bloodstains on the fabric.

She was indeed injured, and it looked like she was seriously injured.

There was a jumble of footprints on the cliff, which looked like those of their own group, as well as those of bandits and assassins.

The footprints stretched all the way to the edge of the cliff!

Could it be that Yuwen Ying was forced to jump off the cliff?

Lu Yunfei's heart tightened with discomfort. He quickly walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down. The cliff was dark and unfathomable.

If Yuwen Ying were forced to jump from this place, her chances of survival would be almost nil!
