Chapter 1574: Chapter 1512: The Young Lady Falls Off a Cliff
Five years since the last hunt at the hunting grounds, the Emperor of Nanyue encountered assassins, an extrely unlucky situation. Fortunately, he had enough people by his side, and he escaped without danger.
"Take them away and find out if there are any accomplices," the Emperor of Nanyue commanded coldly.
The assassin lifted his head, curled his lips into a cold smile, and shrieked, "Tyrant! Heaven will destroy you! While you reign, Nanyue will perish, will surely perish!" After speaking, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, his eyes bulged, and he stopped moving.
The guards stepped forward to examine him, discovering he had bitten his tongue to commit suicide, and knelt before the Emperor of Nanyue to plead for forgiveness.
Ah Jiu watched coldly from a distance, his eyes revealing no discernible emotion.
Suddenly, his heart throbbed intensely, causing him to involuntarily let out a soft groan.
"Sir?" Yuan Ye exclaid in shock, imdiately supporting him with concern.
Ah Jiu paused, clutching his chest and shaking his head, "It’s nothing." From the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Jadeite and Chi Wu and Chi Liu riding toward him, his gaze turned sharp.
Chi Wu and the others dismounted and stepped forward, Chi Er asked, "Why have you co?"
"The lady saw an ergency signal from this direction, fearing sothing happened on your side, so she sent us over to assist," Chi Wu replied.
Ah Jiu furrowed his brow and said, "This is ridiculous! What could happen here? Hurry back to her!"
This hunting trip hadn’t brought many people, with Chi Wu and Chi Liu coming, Jadeite only had Mo Lan by her side, while Xiao Qi, who always closely followed her, had suddenly caught a cold and developed a high fever in the past two days and was being cared for at ho by Wufu.
Thinking about his earlier anxiety, Ah Jiu grew increasingly uneasy, urging Chi Wu and the others to return.
"By the way..." Hoo Die suddenly stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Are our signal flares seven-colored?"
Everyone was startled and followed his finger to see a seven-colored smoke spreading in the sky overhead.
Seven colors indicated the direst and most life-threatening situation.
"This is bad!" Chi Wu saw the direction and his scalp went numb, "It’s on the lady’s side."
Chi Liu had already mounted his horse and sped away.
Ah Jiu’s mind exploded, and he hurriedly mounted his horse and rushed forward, following after Chi Liu.
Everyone followed suit promptly, mounting their horses.
Song Wei always paid close attention to the movents around Ah Jiu. First seeing the people that are usually by Zhou Wufu coming over, then noticing Ah Jiu’s drastic change in expression, leaving without a word, he inford Prince Qi and pursued them.
Ah Jiu arrived first at the site where two Flower Leopards had been killed, seeing the noble won tearfully preparing to leave, he glanced around, and Wufu was nowhere to be seen, causing his heart to sink.
Soone spurred out from the side, shouting sharply, "The princess has fallen off a cliff, go quickly to report!"
Ah Jiu’s body shook, the pain within his chest spread, forcing himself to suppress the panic, he swiftly followed the path of the guard.
Arriving at the said cliffside, he found Mo Lan and Jadeite kneeling there, while Wufu, was nowhere in sight.
Ah Jiu’s body shook, he fell off his horse, quickly got up, and rushed over.
"My lord." Jadeite’s eyes were blood-red, full of tears.
"Where is she?" Ah Jiu stared at her, almost squeezing the question through clenched teeth.
"The lady she..." Jadeite glanced toward the cliff’s edge, her tears falling incessantly.
Without thinking, Ah Jiu rushed to leap off the cliff, determined to find and bring her back.
"My lord." Yuan Ye swiftly blocked his path and knelt on the ground, "My lord, please remain calm."
"Get out of the way!" Ah Jiu’s expression was icy, "I command you to step aside!"
Yuan Ye dared not comply, stating, "I cannot, my lord, please forgive ."
Ah Jiu fixed his gaze on the top of his head, a tinge of blood in his throat, and spat out a mouthful of hot blood.
