But when they went down to the bottom of the cliff, they found nothing.

"What about the boss?" The subordinates were very panicked when they thought of the second prince, "If the second prince knows that Mu Shengbai may have escaped, we are afraid that we will ......."

The little leader also thought of it, with the second prince's ruthlessness, if he didn't bring Mu Shengbai's head back, he was afraid that he would want their heads.

He gritted his teeth for a while, but he couldn't help but be afraid, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "What are you afraid of, you think he can still live if Mu Shengbai jumps down such a deep cliff?" He's not a god! I guess I was eaten by a beast in the forest. ”

"But the second prince doesn't necessarily believe it?"

The little leader was red-faced, "Shut up! Then his face turned pale for a while, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, "I just want you to remember that Mu Shengbai fell from the cliff into the sea and was washed away, don't say anything else!" ”

The other subordinates nodded in agreement, and the little leader was not afraid that they would go out and talk nonsense, after all, if this matter was exposed, not only would the second prince not spare him, but even everyone present would not let go, as long as he was not a fool, he understood this reason.

After the little leader went back and told Du Chenliang, he had been observing his face very cautiously and secretly, and he was relieved to see the joy on his face.

Du Chen's conscience was naturally happy, Mu Shengbai died, there was no big resistance on his way to the throne, and his good imperial brother was almost the same, "This hall knows, you go back, there will be rewards delivered to you at that time, and this hall is not a person who does not divide rewards and punishments."

The little leader respectfully withdrew while wiping his sweat with a white face, "Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness." ”

It wasn't until he closed the door and bathed in the spring sunshine that his whole body was soaked warm, and he felt a little alive.

At this time, Du Chenliang felt that he was only one Du Weizhen and Emperor Jingyuan away from ascending the throne, so the most important thing now was to let Du Weizhen not return to the imperial city.

He sent more of his subordinates to cooperate with the killers of the Blood Killing Building to hunt down Du Weizhen, and make sure that he killed Pu Luoshan.

Du Weizhen and the others were surrounded in a small forest halfway up the Puluo Mountain, and he and Du Yueyan were surrounded in the middle, but those guards had already consumed too much physical strength, and they were unable to deal with the increasing number of assassins.

"Don't do useless struggles, no one will come to save you, surrender obediently and wait for death."

The leading man showed a wicked smile, his voice was hoarse, he raised his chin very arrogantly, and looked at people with his nostrils, which was very similar to Du Chenliang at some times.

Su Ming's violent temper, how can he tolerate someone saying this Du Weizhen, he was immediately furious, and danced a sword out of the momentum of an axe, "You chaotic minister and thief, if your uncle and I can escape, I will definitely take my brothers to break your body to pieces!" ”

The leader seemed to have heard some joke, and looked at his subordinates with a deep wound left on Su Ming's body with an expressionless face, "General Su is so angry, I really want to see it, but I'm afraid I don't have this chance to let you live." ”

A light suddenly lit up in Du Weizhen's mind, and the behavior, tone, and appearance of these people in front of him were a little familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere...... Where?

That's right! Chengqian Palace!

Du Weizhen glared angrily and said angrily: "You are the people sent by Du Chenliang!" ”

The leader was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect to be recognized, but when he thought that Du Weizhen and the others would not live long, he smiled and admitted calmly: "The eldest prince is not a big prince, yes, we are indeed His Royal Highness the Second Prince." But you can't blame the second prince, after all, he is the best candidate to sit on the throne, if you didn't pose a threat to him, our Royal Highness would not have cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so the eldest prince, you still don't have to do useless struggles. And don't think that Mu Shengbai will come to save you, he has already become a stepping stone for our Highness, and the corpse doesn't know where it was washed by the river. ”

"What!" The woman's sharp voice cut through the untranquility here, adding a sense of poignancy, it turned out that Du Yueyan, who had been protected, rushed out from behind, with an incredulous expression, "Shengbai won't die!" He will come to our rescue! ”

She stubbornly insisted, how could her Mu Shengbai die, he had hugged her that day, his chest was so generous, it seemed that she could rely on it forever without any danger.

Not only her, but even Du Weizhen, Su Ming and others would not believe it, in their eyes, Mu Shengbai was omnipotent, and he had never let them down.

But the leader obviously didn't have much patience to talk nonsense with them anymore, and said disdainfully: "Will I still lie to you, these dying people can't succeed?" Don't talk nonsense with them, take them down quickly, I want to dedicate the head of the eldest prince to His Royal Highness. ”

As soon as his voice fell, the battle situation immediately became more anxious, Du Weizhen and the others were escorted and retreated step by step, Qi Jinyu even protected him with one hand, and held a sword in the other hand to repel the assassins who rushed up.

"Protect Your Highness!" At this time, Su Ming, who was fighting in front, suddenly turned his head and shouted with a hideous face.

It turned out that several assassins broke through the front defense line and rushed over, the purpose of which was Du Weizhen.

Du Weizhen's eyes widened, the sword hanging above his head made him unable to even move, he could only watch the deadly sword get closer and closer......

A crisp female voice pierced her fear, "Your Highness! Then a slender figure lunged at him, stopping the deadly attacks, but a sword was stabbed in the waist, and blood seeped through her jet-black robes.

Du Weizhen looked at the nimble figure that couldn't even take care of the injury, holding a sword and shuttling among the assassins, and his heart was shocked.

Half an hour later, Qi Jinyu escorted Du Weizhen and the others to escape in embarrassment, while the guards who failed to escape slept permanently in the forest.

Su Ming found a hidden cave, and casually cleaned up and arranged Du Weizhen and Du Yueyan inside, which was the safest position, in case those assassins caught up.

Du Weizhen sat on the flat stone, his eyes searched for the slender figure, and he found her in an inconspicuous corner. She was facing the inside of the cave, leaning against the stone with her eyes closed, but Du Weizhen noticed an abnormal flush on her face.

As soon as his mind moved, he walked over, lowered his head and asked softly, "General Qi, are you okay?" ”

Qi Jinyu raised her eyes weakly, facing a pair of black eyes that were also exceptionally bright in the dim cave, she pulled out a stiff smile, wanting to answer that he was okay, but in the end she didn't say a word, her throat was like being burned by fire, hot, and she couldn't speak.
