Although with the prince's ability, they don't need to worry, but if they don't fear ten thousand, they should be afraid of the worst!
The prince's status is precious. If he encounters danger or is accidentally injured, they will not be able to bear the responsibility if the superiors hold him accountable.
"Find some skilled brothers to come over and go down the cliff. The others will stand by and be ready! The delivery time is coming soon. If the prince does not come up in time, follow the plan!" said one of the guards.
"yes!"
The other guards immediately responded.
Soon, twenty agile and skinny guards stood up and spread out on the cliff. Each person tied a hemp rope around his waist, tied the other end to a rock or tree trunk, and slid down quickly.
At this moment.
Xiao Lingyue was hiding in a corner of a rock wall, looking up at the cliff.
It was so hazy that I couldn't see any details.
Only the jumping fire on the top of the cliff was very eye-catching, spinning around and around on the top of the cliff.
"Is this checking the condition of the cliff?" Xiao Lingyue muttered in her heart, "It's been so long and the inspection hasn't been completed yet? The rope I hid will not be discovered, right?"
There is nothing we can do if we are really discovered.
After all, she is only one person, and if no one cleans up for her, it will inevitably leave flaws.
At this time, some sand suddenly fell down from the steep rock wall, mixed with small stones.
Xiao Lingyue immediately became alert.
Has someone come down?
She didn't hear any sound of falling rocks. The roaring sound of the river below the cliff was enough to cover up any unusual movements.
Here, ear power has no effect at all, and sight is also greatly affected. The moist mist will even leave an obvious trace when people walk by, and the traces will be exposed if you are not careful.
Xiao Lingyue clung to the rock wall and walked forward cautiously. She saw several hemp ropes hanging from the mountain wall in front of her, still shaking.
Her heart sank. Sure enough, someone had come down!
Not sure whether it was an enemy or a friend, Xiao Lingyue hid again, hiding in the shadow of a pile of rubble, staring at the hemp ropes.
...Will it be Zhan Beihan who comes down?
The answer quickly disappointed her.
Several complete strangers, young men in civilian clothes, slid down the rope to the bottom of the cliff. As soon as they landed, they instinctively clenched their waist knives and looked around warily.
Xiao Lingyue hid even more secretly, knowing that the other party could not hear her, but she still breathed softly subconsciously.
These people obviously worked together and were well-trained in their actions.
Soon one of them pointed, as if giving an order, and the others separated, keeping a distance where they could see each other, and checked the surrounding situation separately.
Xiao Lingyue narrowed her eyes.
Covered by the fog, one of them was passing by a pile of rubble.
She suddenly took action, covering the other person's mouth and nose, and dragged him behind the rubble.
The man was shocked and immediately struggled violently: "Uh-huh!"
Xiao Lingyue was not afraid that he would make any noise due to his struggle, because the sound of the river water was covering it up, so others could not hear it at all.
But what she didn't expect was that the moment she dragged the person over.
