Although Xie Mingcang was highly skilled in martial arts and superb in swordsmanship, he was besieged by so many masters at the same time, and gradually Xie Mingcang began to lose his strength.

Without missing a beat, Xie Mingcang was slashed in the back, and blood flowed out instantly. He couldn't help but frown, feeling as if his back was being torn apart.

"Left!" Song Yanxing suddenly shouted.

Xie Mingcang reacted quickly and saw a man in black on the left waving a broadsword, about to hit Xie Mingcang's head.

Xie Mingcang raised his hand and blocked the sword in the hand of the man in black. However, before Xie Mingcang could breathe a sigh of relief, another sword appeared in front of him.

In a flash, Xie Mingcang was forced to retreat to Song Yanxing's side.

Xie Mingcang was a little exhausted. He held his chest and panted heavily. He looked back at Song Yanxing and said, "Your Highness, I may not be able to protect you today."

Song Yanxing pressed his wound, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Are you willing to gamble with me?"

Xie Mingcang was stunned, turned to look at the cliff, and then turned to look at Song Yanxing. He nodded slowly.

Xie Mingcang turned around and shouted, "Watch my Changfeng swordsmanship."

The people in black immediately surrounded him and formed a defensive formation.

At this moment, Xie Mingcang turned around, pulled Song Yanxing up, and the two of them jumped off the cliff.

The people in black did not expect that Xie Mingcang would suddenly jump off the cliff with Song Yanxing, and they were stunned for a while. When they came to their senses and went to check, the two of them had disappeared. There was no bottom under the cliff.

Several people looked at each other, and the man in black at the front said, "Look for a way down the cliff. Today, I want to see people in life, and I want to see corpses in death."

"Yes." Soon, the people in black dispersed.

……

Li Miaoyi was still taking a nap, and Meng Chun couldn't care about so much for a while, and walked quickly to Li Miaoyi's side.

Li Miaoyi always slept soundly during her lunch break. As soon as Meng Chun came in, she woke up, but her head was still slightly heavy.

She opened her eyes in confusion, looked at Meng Chun, and slowly asked, "What's wrong? Why are you so anxious? What happened?"

Although Meng Chun was usually a bit careless, he was not an unruly person. If he was so anxious today, something must have happened.

Meng Chun gasped and said, "Miss, it's not good. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince accidentally fell off a cliff while hunting in the royal hunting ground and disappeared."

Li Miaoyi sat up suddenly and said in disbelief, "How could this happen?"

Meng Chun continued, "There is also Mr. Xie, who said that he fell off the cliff together with His Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Miaoyi frowned tightly. Xie Mingcang has been fond of martial arts since he was a child. He is very skilled in martial arts. Even Xie Shian is not his opponent, not to mention Song Yanxing. Li Miaoyi knows that and is also very skilled in martial arts. However, now the two of them fell off the cliff together. .

I'm afraid things are not that simple. There must be something strange about this matter.

Li Miaoyi squinted her eyes and tried to stay calm. Suddenly her eyes flashed and she slowly said, "Change clothes, prepare the carriage, and leave the city."

"Yes."

Li Miaoyi got on the carriage, holding the jade pendant given to him by Song Yanxing in his hand. The jade pendant was only the size of a palm. It looked like it was made of fine jade. It had lifelike carvings of dragons circling and competing for the sun.

Li Miaoyi gently stroked the dragon on the jade pendant, feeling anxious, fearing that Song Yanxing would encounter something unexpected like this.

Li Miaoyi said loudly, "Quick, go to the tea shop two miles outside the city, you must be quick!"

The carriage was moving quickly. Li Miaoyi's carriage was made of ordinary wood, and the inside of the carriage was shaking violently. She couldn't help but hold on to the edge of the carriage, trying to stabilize her body. With the help of Meng Chun, Li Miaoyi quickly got out of the carriage.

The tea book was not big, and it looked very simple. It was just a small house. Li Miaoyi walked in quickly.

Soon a tall man with a pockmarked face came out and asked, "What kind of tea would this young lady want?"

Li Miaoyi shook her head and stretched out her hand. In her hand was the jade pendant that Song Yanxing gave her.

The pockmarked man's pupils instantly dilated, with a look of disbelief on his face. He raised his head and looked at Li Miaoyi, then lowered his head and looked at the jade pendant intently.

He bowed his hands to Li Miaoyi respectfully and said, "Miss, please follow me to the second floor."

Li Miaoyi nodded seriously and followed Mazi Lian upstairs.

The noise upstairs and downstairs were different. There was only one table, surrounded by four stools, with fruits and pastries placed on the seats.

The pock-marked person stretched out his hand and said, "Miss, please sit down."

Li Miaoyi nodded, Meng Chun pulled out a stool, and she sat down slowly.

With a pockmarked face, he immediately knelt down on the ground, lying at Li Miaoyi's feet and said, "See Master."

Li Miaoyi was stunned, not knowing what the pockmarked face meant. She frowned, turned to look at Meng Chun, and said, "Go and guard outside."

"Yes." Meng Chunfu sighed and walked out.

Li Miaoyi lowered her head and looked at the pockmarked face, and slowly said, "What are you doing?"

Mazi looked up at Li Miaoyi with a surprised face and said, "Master, don't you know what this jade pendant means?"

Li Miaoyi thought for a while and then slowly said, "When His Highness the Prince gave it to me, he only said that he could come here for help if anything happened, but he didn't tell me what this jade pendant meant."

The pockmarked face instantly became stunned, and he looked at Li Miaoyi in disbelief. He swallowed and slowly said, "This jade pendant is as if His Highness is here in person. Your Highness is not here now, so you are our master."

"We?" Li Miaoyi was stunned.

The pockmarked man nodded and said, "You can now command all the people under the Crown Prince, including His Highness's private soldiers and all His Highness's secret guards."

Li Miaoyi frowned and said, "I'm afraid this is against the rules."

The pock-marked man shook his head and said, "Master, don't belittle yourself. We only recognize the jade pendant, not the person. Since His Highness has given the jade pendant to you, we will obey your orders unconditionally."

Li Miaoyi frowned and said, "Do you know about His Highness falling off the cliff?"

Mazi lowered his head, shook his head, and said, "We have already sent people to look for traces of His Highness." After a pause, Mazi let out a long sigh and slowly said, "Unfortunately, there is no trace of His Highness yet. .”

Li Miaoyi lowered her head and said with a serious expression, "Do you know who did it?"

The pock-marked man let out a long sigh and said, "We don't dare to confirm now that the Seven Masters fought tooth and nail to get His Highness out of the encirclement that day."

After a pause, he clenched his fists with a pockmarked face and said slowly, "Those men in black are here to assassinate them deliberately. They are clean and have nothing to prove their identity."

"It's the subordinates who are incompetent."
