Chapter 256 Cliff
Yun Muze listened quietly to Chen Yu's almost naked threats, and a barely perceptible panic suddenly flashed across the depths of his eyes.
He thought to himself, "I think by this moment, Yun Muheng and Ye Chuxue should have already died.
Now that things have come to this, the most urgent thing is to absolutely not let these people get any evidence to hold me hostage.
Otherwise, it will definitely have many adverse effects on my future success in ascending the supreme throne."
Thinking of this, he frowned, his face instantly turned gloomy, his eyes widened, and he roared angrily: "How dare you talk nonsense here!
I was walking on the way back to the city when I happened to meet King Yunxin.
I followed him all the way here. I clearly saw him rescue Xue'er from the predicament, and then he asked for a carriage from others, and then galloped towards the city.
Just as I was about to turn around and leave, those hateful people from Kou State suddenly showed up!
And just at this moment, you all rushed over angrily and started blaming me without saying a word. This is really too much, too ridiculous! "
Chen Yu calmly glanced at the ground with his peripheral vision. When his eyes fell on the clearly visible axle marks, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy, but he didn't show it on his face.
Then, he slowly raised his head and said calmly, "In this case, it seems that I have indeed wronged you. Your Highness, please calm down.
General Wanshan, please don't act rashly. Perhaps we were in such a hurry that we missed the prince and the others on the way."
After saying that, he took advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention and secretly winked at Wanshan, suggesting that he should not act rashly.
When Wanshan saw this scene, he suddenly realized it. After thinking about it in his heart, he quickly put the long sword in his hand into the scabbard.
Then, he cautiously took two steps back, clasped his hands together, bowed, and said respectfully, "Your Highness, Prince Yunning, I was truly reckless and impulsive just now, and I have offended you. Please forgive me. Once we successfully find Prince Yunxin, I will come to you in person to apologize."
At this moment, Yun Muze, who was standing aside, had a pair of narrow eyes flashing with a chilling and sinister light.
He thought to himself, "Hmph, go find them. Go find them! If you can move faster, you might even have a chance to see the bodies of those two people."
However, in just a moment, he skillfully suppressed his true emotions and put on a tolerant, generous and amiable appearance.
He just smiled slightly and said slowly, "General Wanshan, you are too kind.
I know very well that you were wholeheartedly trying to find King Yunxin, so you lost your composure a little. How could I be so unreasonable as to casually blame a loyal minister and general like you?
In my opinion, you should hurry back to the city to check and see if the two of them have returned.
You know, they've taken Lord Tianye hostage. If we delay too long and cause unnecessary disputes and conflicts between the two countries, it would be more trouble than it's worth!"
Hearing Yun Muzhe's words, Chen Yu, who had been silent all the time, suddenly raised his head and looked at Yun Muzhe deeply.
But he said nothing, just nodded slightly, then mounted the horse swiftly, shook the reins, and galloped away.
Afterwards, everyone followed the deep axle marks left by the wheels on the ground and explored forward.
At the same time, Yun Muheng, who was in the carriage, gradually realized that something was wrong.
You know, under normal circumstances it only takes about two quarters of an hour to walk from the city to the dilapidated temple, but now they have been walking for almost half an hour and still have not reached the city gate.
Yun Muheng frowned tightly, and asked with an extremely serious expression, "What's going on? Why haven't we reached the city gate after walking for so long?"
His voice was low and serious, as if it contained endless majesty and dissatisfaction.
Hearing the questioning voice from inside the car, the person who was concentrating on driving outside quickly responded, "Your Highness, I'm truly sorry! I'm not familiar with the routes in this area and accidentally took the wrong road. Please calm down, Your Highness."
Upon hearing this, Yun Muheng turned his head slightly to look at Lord Tian Ye, who was in a coma and had his sleeping acupoint pressed by him.
Seeing the other person lying there quietly, his originally anxious heart finally relaxed a little.
Because as long as Lord Tianye is held as a hostage, the enemies will probably not dare to act rashly.
After all, they could not completely ignore the life safety of Lord Tianye.
Thinking of this, Yun Muheng's expression eased slightly, but the vigilance in his eyes remained unchanged.
Yun Muheng stared closely at Ye Chuxue in front of him, and the words that Yun Muzhe had mentioned many times kept appearing in his mind - this Ye Chuxue was not the real Ye Chuxue.
With each deepening of his recollection, the doubts in his heart grew bigger and bigger like a snowball.
Ye Chuxue seemed to have keenly caught his strange gaze. She lowered her head slightly, sighed inwardly,
Finally, he mustered up the courage to speak: "Your Majesty, after returning to the city, I will find a suitable time to tell you everything in detail."
At this moment, without any warning, the carriage shook violently.
Yun Muheng's nerves tensed up instantly, and he asked loudly with vigilance, "What is happening outside?" However, this time, there was dead silence all around, and no one responded to his question.
An ominous premonition suddenly surged into Yun Muheng's heart. He didn't dare to delay for a moment. He quickly reached out and lifted the curtain of the car, looking outside anxiously.
It wouldn't matter if he didn't look at it, but once he did, he couldn't help but gasp.
The driver who was supposed to be holding the reins firmly to control the horses had disappeared without a trace. The shaft of the cart was empty, leaving only a frightened horse running forward like crazy with its hooves spread out.
At the same time, Ye Chuxue, who had rushed over to check on the situation, was also horrified by the scene before her. She screamed in shock, "Your Highness, this is bad! There's a cliff not far ahead!"
