Chapter 172: Prince 9 Falls off the Cliff
"Take him and leave quickly. Use smoke bombs if necessary. I'll cover you."
"No, Princess. The other party's martial arts are extremely high. You are no match for him."
Princess Fanghua said nothing more, and whipped Jin Feiyun to stop him from taking the person away.
Unexpectedly, her man took a few steps and then retreated.
"Princess, it turns out that the people here are from our palace."
"Really? Great, help is here!"
"But this is the prince's man. Have you considered going back?"
"Go back. You are my bargaining chip now. You can go back if you want. But the prince has not been found yet, so I don't want to go back yet."
People from the palace joined in the fight with Jin Feiyun's people. Jin Feiyun's side did not have many people, but they had high martial arts skills, and Princess Fanghua did not want to fight, so they were defeated one after another. Now that five or six helpers have joined, the morale of Princess Fanghua's side is obviously high.
Jin Feiyun was also a little anxious, thinking that he only had to deal with some officials, so seven or eight people would be enough. He didn't expect that people would come in waves. He was too careless and made a mistake.
"Sir, there are people coming from behind us."
"What? Someone else is coming!"
Jin Feiyun was very anxious. It was impossible to snatch people now, but he was unwilling to let them go. If this group of people came to help Princess Fanghua, not only would he fail to rescue the Ninth Prince today, but he and Jin Qing would also have to die in these desolate mountains and wilderness.
"Your Highness, there are several groups of people fighting in front. Some of them are dressed like North Vietnamese. Some of them are not dressed like North Vietnamese, but they are using North Vietnamese knives. There is also a group of people using swords, but their martial arts do not look like our South Vietnamese martial arts. I don't know why they are fighting."
"The fact that they can fight together proves that they are fighting for different purposes. It is most important to help the disadvantaged party first and take back Xiaojiu."
"It's Your Highness."
Looking at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with only two sharp eyes showing, the guards immediately took orders and attacked the person who had the upper hand.
Princess Fanghua's side, which had originally had the upper hand, thought they had won, but they didn't expect another group of people to come. They didn't know whether they were enemies or friends, and both sides in the battle became more alert.
Especially Jin Feiyun's side, which was gradually losing to the enemy and was on the verge of defeat. Unexpectedly, another group of people came. Could it be that today he could not only fail to save people, but also could not go back.
All that appeared in his mind was regret and unwillingness. He could only blame himself for being too conceited and self-righteous. Sorry, Xiaoyue, perhaps we will see each other forever today.
"Master, they are not here to help them, they are here to help us. We don't have to die today!"
When Jin Qing saw this group of people attacking the enemy, he came back to life instantly.
"Although we don't know who sent them, those who help us are our allies. Even if we can't complete the mission today, at least we don't have to stay here. Brothers, kill!"
Jin Feiyun's confidence suddenly increased, and the sword in his hand became more sharp. He thought that Princess Fanghua only wanted to get someone and would show mercy. He didn't expect that he would not kill her because she was from North Vietnam, but she put him to death. Then he didn't have to care anymore.
"Princess, we are being attacked from both sides. The people coming from behind seem to be very familiar with this place. We can barely escape, but we can't take this fat guy with us. If he was skinny, it would be easy to deal with, but he is too fat and is a burden."
"No! I won't go back to North Vietnam without him. You have to hold him tight, or I'll take your life!"
"Yes! Princess."
Carrying such a fat man, he, a single guard, could not fight at all. He could only rely on others' cover to escape. However, there were jackals in front and tigers and leopards behind. No matter how he ran, he could not get rid of them. He was so tired that he could not hold on any longer. His feet slipped and two human bones rolled down the cliff.
"Hurry up and grab them! Hurry!" Princess Fanghua screamed and asked people to rescue them. She swung the whip at the two people who fell off the cliff, but the whip only pulled back one person. The other had already rolled down. The guards were all caught in the melee and could not spare the time to rescue them.
Besides, no one knew who fell down. They were only responsible for the princess’s safety, and the safety of others had nothing to do with them.
Jin Feiyun paused, wondering if the person who fell down was...
"Your Highness, this is bad! The one who fell off the cliff is the Ninth Prince."
"What? Stop fighting. Go find someone."
Xiao Jin led his men to run towards the cliff. Princess Fanghua was unwilling to give up and also went to look for someone under the cliff. However, the prince's men had been looking for the princess for half a year and finally caught her. How could they let the princess escape again? So they simply pressed the princess' acupoints, carried her and ran away.
When Jin Feiyun saw Princess Fanghua being carried away, he breathed a sigh of relief. This clingy guy finally left, but the people who helped him went along the cliff to look for the Ninth Prince.
Although the other party was not an enemy, if they had gone to help Princess Fanghua at that time, the Ninth Prince would definitely have been taken away. It seemed that Princess Fanghua would take the Ninth Prince back to North Vietnam.
So they are not from North Vietnam, but from South Vietnam, and they are coming for the Ninth Prince. Do they want to kill the Ninth Prince or rescue him?
I don’t know who the other party is or what their purpose is. Since everyone is here for the Ninth Prince, their purpose is the same. Let’s see who can be faster.
But it was already getting dark, and Wengcheng was full of mountains. The mountains were steep and continuous, with dense trees and wild grass. Finding a person in such a place was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
But Jin Feiyun couldn't give up. He didn't want to fail in the important task that Xiaoyue gave him for the first time. If they were looking down along the edge of the cliff, then he would go to other mountains and look at the bottom of the cliff.
The two teams searched all night, but the more they searched, the more they felt something was wrong. Finally, they realized that they were all lost and had gone to an unknown place, far away, and they were tired, hungry, and thirsty.
"Master, we already have so many herbs in the Wonderful Medicine Valley, why do we still need to pick them ourselves? Why didn't you ask the brothers to come pick them together today?"
"Xiaoxi! The herbs grown in our Wonderful Medicine Valley are all collected by my master from various mountains. These mountains are full of treasures. You must study hard and learn more about medicinal herbs. They will be of great use to you in the future!"
"I won't. I don't like to recognize herbs. Master, why don't you teach me martial arts? I want to become a local overlord and win glory for you in the future."
"Xiaoxi, Master doesn't want you to win glory for Master. Master only wants you to be kind and think more about the people of the world. That's enough... Forget it, you are still young."
Cong Sheng looked at the little girl in front of him. The child was lively and cute. How could there be such a pair of parents who harmed the people and seized other people's money? The child was innocent. She was a blank sheet of paper. As long as he wrote something for her, she would understand it.
Five years ago, she died suddenly, and his only thought was gone. He left the capital and came to this isolated place, ready to spend the rest of his life quietly.
But when he looked at those abandoned children, even the children of criminals, he couldn't bear to see them wandering the streets as beggars or being sold to brothels.
He adopted them all, and they became his means of survival.
"Master, did you hear that noise? It's so scary, let's go!"
