He, Xuanyuan Chen, was already a teenager on the battlefield, how could these people possibly hurt him that easily?

However, this was the first time he felt warmth from Xie Qingrong's body. A person who killed others in cold blood would actually rush to his front and help him deal with these troublesome assassins.

Being caught off guard by Xuanyuan Chen's kiss, Xie Qingrong's heart unconsciously rippled a few times. Her deep eyes contained the same sincere smile as Xuanyuan Chen.

Hearing the praises of these few people, Xie Qingrong's face softened a little, but when she saw the assassins in black on the ground, her face darkened and she asked, "What happened to these people?"

"I'm not sure. It's not the Right Premier, and it doesn't look like Gongsun Heng's man." Xuanyuan Chen said in a low voice.

Indeed, these people were stronger than the ones in the right wing, but weaker than Gongsun Heng's.

"Who could it be?" Xie Qingrong frowned, looks like these people had made up their minds to kill Xuanyuan Chen today.

"Earlier, those people in the dense forest were arranged by the Right Premier, but since His Majesty is present, they could at most seriously injure the Prince. And these people appeared after leaving the forest, so it is obvious that they already knew of the Right Premier's plan. However, these people do not look like they belong in the Heavenly Sage Kingdom. As for which path they belong to, we still need to investigate. " Lin Mu said as he removed the mask on the man in black's face.

Xuanyuan Chen's lips formed an extremely faint smile, and said: "In this world, there are too many people who want this duke's life."

Indeed, for Xuanyuan Chen to be able to be on par with Crown Prince of Chu, it was likely that he had his strengths. If such a person could not be used by him, it would be better to make the first move.

Coincidentally, these few days were the perfect time for Fangfang Feast and these people to make their move. However, from the looks of it, such a meticulous plan had been set up by many people within the Heavenly Sage Kingdom.

Xie Qingrong took the initiative to hold Xuanyuan Chen's hand, raised his head, and said: "With me here."

Xuanyuan Chen's finger trembled slightly, then he grabbed onto Xie Qingrong's hand and said: "Ok."

Fortunately, Xie Qingrong didn't make him nervous for too long and let him go, "Let's go back first, it's not safe to stay here."

Xuanyuan Chen smiled and nodded obediently.

Indeed, this was a place that he was unwilling to recall.

Xuanyuan Chen pulled Xie Qingrong's hand and turned around, ready to go back.

The phenomenon suddenly occurred.

He suddenly pulled out a thin and long golden thread from the cliff and quickly tied Xie Qingrong's waist up, pulling her to the side of the cliff. In that moment of life and death, Xie Qingrong released Xuanyuan Chen's hand.

Xie Qingrong's entire body was pulled off a cliff, and before she could even react, she saw a scene that he would never forget for the rest of her life.

Six years ago, that handsome and elegant young man also jumped off the cliff in this way.

And at that time, he personally witnessed everything, and desperately tried to rush forward to pull him back, but and the others tightly held him back, telling him not to let down a single part of his heart.

Now, his princess, the one he was trying so hard to get along with, had been dragged off the cliff by someone.

Before his brain could think about it, his body had already reacted.

He followed closely behind Xie Qingrong as they jumped off the cliff.

Lin Mu and the rest could not stop him at all, and had only just arrived at the edge of the cliff when Xuanyuan Chen had already jumped off the cliff.

The Azure Dragon and White Tiger knelt on the ground as a huge grief enveloped them. They couldn't help but mutter, "Your Highness, you'll be fine, right?"

"It will definitely be fine." Lin Mu stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes completely red, but his tone was filled with determination and trust.

He believed that the prince and his wife would return safely.

Right now, the most important thing was to find out who had done all of this, and also vow to find out the whereabouts of the Duke and Princess even at the cost of their lives.

Lin Mu threw a piece of jade to the green dragon.

"Azure Dragon, bring the Blood Shadow Guard to the bottom of the cliff to search for the whereabouts of the prince and the wangfei. Remember to see them alive if they're alive, or their corpses if they're dead if they're not." His tone was cold and firm.

"Yes, this subordinate will do it immediately."

When Xuanyuan Chen had matters to attend to and was not around, Lin Mu could instruct his subordinates to do anything. This was a privilege given to him by Xuanyuan Chen, but it was something that only Xuanyuan Chen would do.

Waves of refreshing wind blew over from the side of the cliff, causing Lin Mu's clothes to flutter about.

Everyone's eyes turned red as they anxiously waited for the Blood Shadow Guards to bring good news about the prince and his wife.

Xuanyuan Chen watched as Xie Qingrong and a black-robed assassin battled as he jumped off the cliff.

There was a small stone platform at the bottom of the cliff where a person could stand.

The black clad assassin was the one who had used a thread to pull Xie Qingrong down the cliff. However, he did not expect Xie Qingrong to fall directly onto the stone platform where he stood.

The stone platform swayed, and the black clothed man's body trembled, just in time to dodge the short blade that Xie Qingrong had stabbed towards him.

However, just as he reacted, the short blade had already pierced into his chest. He gripped the short blade tightly, and the sharp blade sliced off his hand, causing blood to flow out, drop by drop.

Right at this moment, Xie Qingrong pulled back her short blade with lightning speed. However, she extended her leg and kicked the black-clothed assassin off the cliff.

"Ah …" The black-robed assassin's terrified, unwilling shout rang out from beneath the cliff.

In almost an instant, Xuanyuan Chen landed on the stone stage as well.

The poor stone platform had suffered two heavy blows, and cracks had finally appeared on it.

Xuanyuan Chen embraced Xie Qingrong's slender willow-like waist, his expression was steady and calm, but a tinge of worry flashed in his eyes: "A Rong, are you alright?"

Xie Qingrong pursed her lips and laughed, "I'm fine. "However, this stone platform won't be able to hold on for much longer."

As soon as he finished speaking, the crack between the stone platform and the cliff became even wider, trembling.
