Soon, the sound of fighting in the smoke stopped and the remaining smoke dissipated.
There was a mess on the cliff, and blood was sprinkled on the ground.
Only Zhan Beihan stood by the cliff, and four assassin's corpses were lying not far away.
With him as the center, a semi-arc vacuum appeared on the ground, and dense poisonous needles pricked around it, with no footsteps at all.
Xiao Lingyue walked over quickly, frowned and swept around: "Has the person ran away?"
"Yes." Zhan Beihan's face was cold.
"How did you run?"
Xiao Lingyue was a little disbelief. She had been guarding the exit of the cliff and had not seen anyone come out of the smoke.
Zhan Beihan pointed to the cliff and said, "I jumped down, I didn't have time to stop him."
The second commander jumped off the cliff?
Is this better to commit suicide than to be captured alive?
The second commander didn't seem to be such a backbone person.
Xiao Lingyue placed Han Han on a safe ground, swept away the poisonous needles all over the ground, and walked to the edge of the cliff to take a look.
It was pitch black under the cliff, and it was bottomless, as if it was leading to hell.
Xiao Lingyue kicked a stone down and waited for a minute before hearing the muffled sound of falling to the ground. It can be seen that the cliff is indeed very deep.
But in addition, she also found some artificial traces on the rocks on the edge of the cliff, as if they were pulled by an iron hook.
"It seems that it's not because I jumped off the cliff and tried to die. I had planned it before and ran away from the bottom by jumping off the cliff."
Xiao Lingyue walked to Zhan Beihan in depressedly, glanced at the assassin's corpse on the ground, and sarcastically said: "Using the lives of his subordinates to hold you back just to let himself escape. This is such a good commander!"
Poor these assassins are loyal and fearless, and can be called elite troops in the army.
But he had such a commander.
It was a vain sacrifice.
Xiao Lingyue remembered that there were five surviving assassins on the edge of the cliff.
Now the four are already lying here.
The last assassin should have used tools such as iron hooks and chains to take the second commander to jump off the cliff while the smoke was filled.
The nearby terrain is full of mountains, and it is late at night and the light is dim.
Xiao Lingyue and Zhan Beihan were only two people, and they were still with their children, so it was impossible for them to jump off the cliff to chase after them.
She no longer had any hope in her heart and asked Zhan Beihan: "Are you familiar with the nearby terrain? Do you know where is under the cliff?"
Zhan Bei said coldly: "No, it's too late."
"Then let him run away like that?" Xiao Lingyue felt a little unhappy.
"As long as he is still in Beiqin territory, he can't run away from the temple!" Zhan Beihan's voice was cold, he put his sword back into the sheath, bent down and picked up the little guy, and said coldly, "Go back to the straw shed first."
After speaking, he strode and left.
Xiao Lingyue had no choice but to follow.
Along the way, Zhan Beihan didn't say anything, and his thin lips were tightly pursed.
Xiao Lingyue secretly glanced at him, and the moonlight fell, his side face was almost perfect, and the faint and cold moonlight shone on the corners of the eyebrows and eyes, outlining cold and sharp lines, which looked more cold and depressing than usual.
Xiao Lingyue could clearly feel that he was in a bad mood.
Even Hanhan felt something, and he was obediently in his arms, not daring to mess with his father like he usually did.
Xiao Lingyue remembered the words said by the second commander, and suddenly felt an inexplicable guilt about "Wei Shaorong".
"Well, Your Highness, King Yi... won't we go back to Xiangguo Temple?" Xiao Lingyue spoke carefully. Popular『』 This chapter has been completed!
