Exile? A mad, wicked woman empties the national treasury to escape famine.

Upon hearing this, the three guards dared not clean the mud and weeds off their shoes any further. They gripped the branches in their hands and forced themselves to continue forward.

Behind them, Ji Yunshu had already discussed with the others that she would go to the other side and tie the largest wooden vine, and then the others would pull the vine through one by one.

This was the safest way at the moment, but before they could even start walking, the Crown Prince and his entourage were stranded halfway there.

It was quite far away, and she couldn't see what was happening in front of her, so she simply took out a telescope from her spatial storage.

With the help of a telescope, the situation ahead was finally clear.

There was a large patch of grass in front of the three guards. It was impossible to see what was inside the grass with the naked eye, let alone the path under their feet. Someone had to go ahead to scout the way so that the others could pass smoothly.

If you rush over there rashly, you might accidentally step into a hole and fall off the cliff.

Ji Yunshu frowned, thought for a moment, and then spoke up to remind him.

"Your Highness, considering the thousand taels of gold you gave me before, I'd like to kindly remind you that it's best if you stay put and wait for the people ahead to scout out the road conditions before proceeding."

Her voice echoed through the valley, startling everyone hanging on the cliff face.

Chu Jinsheng lowered his eyes and ignored Ji Yunshu.

Ji Yunshu's words sound nice, but he doesn't even look at his current predicament. Is there any way back?

He was about to lose his footing; if he waited any longer, he wouldn't survive!

Not only him, but Ji Yunyao behind him was also about to collapse.

Ji Yunyao was standing in a narrow space. Chu Jinsheng was in front of her, and Doctor Wu was behind her. Doctor Wu was quite far away from her, and she couldn't retreat any further.

They couldn't move forward either; they couldn't possibly push Chu Jinsheng out of the way.

She was now in a dilemma, her legs were trembling, and she couldn't wait to get through. Hearing Ji Yunshu's voice, she screamed in a shrill voice:

"Ji Yunshu, are you crazy? What do you know? It's one thing for you to be afraid of death and stay behind, but we're about to pass through here, and now you're making us wait in mid-air!"

"You're just talking without understanding the situation; Brother Jinsheng won't listen to you!"

"Brother Jinsheng, tell the people in front to hurry up. It's windy here, and the longer we stand, the more dangerous it becomes. Let's get through here quickly!"

I think Ji Yunshu has ill intentions and is deliberately trying to disrupt us, not wanting us to get through here safely!

Chu Jinsheng's thoughts are the same as Ji Yunyao's; he just wants to leave this place as soon as possible. There's no going back, and he doesn't want to wait either.

Seeing the three guards still hesitating ahead, he stretched out one foot and kicked the guard in the backside.

"What are you all standing there for? Get forward! If you don't want to move, then get off me!"

As he kicked out, the guard lost his grip, his waist twisted, and he fell forward, the dry branches and weeds he was holding were pulled away, and he lost his balance and fell down the cliff.

"what!"

"Help! Help!"

As his scream rang out, the guard rolled straight down from where he had been standing, like a ball.

His shouts echoed through the valley for a long time, stunning everyone.

Things happened so fast that many people didn't know what had just happened, only assuming that the guard had lost his grip and rolled down the cliff.

But the two guards in front were becoming increasingly panicked.

No one knows better than them what just happened.

Unexpectedly, the eldest prince was so ruthless that he kicked the person down!

Falling from here would be fatal!

The two guards couldn't stand still any longer and forced themselves to move forward, gripping the weeds and dead branches on the edge of the cliff tightly.

Since they'd die whether they stood still or moved forward, they might as well go for it and try their luck, since they weren't far from the finish line anyway.

Perhaps due to the stimulation, they took a few steps with unusual ease.

With only about a meter left to go to the finish line, the guard at the front felt his confidence soar. Looking at the chasm ahead, he took a deep breath, leaped, and jumped directly toward the finish line.

However, he underestimated the distance, and when he took off, he slipped and fell straight down, crashing heavily onto the stone wall before reaching the finish line.

He tried desperately to grab onto the dead branches and weeds on the ground, but these things couldn't support his weight at all. After several attempts, he also rolled down the cliff.

"Ah! Help! Help me!"

Watching another person roll down the slope, everyone panicked, especially Chu Jinsheng.

He gripped the withered branch with even greater force, gritted his teeth as he looked at the finish line not far away, and with a leap, flew behind the last guard.

He does have some martial arts skills; if it were him, he could have flown that distance.

So, when he saw the guard blocking his way, his first instinct was to kick him out.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and move forward!"

The guard was stunned. Hearing Chu Jinsheng's roar behind him, he quickly turned around, took a deep breath, grabbed a tree branch on the cliff with his right hand, drew his sword and held it under his feet, and leaped over!

The guard was the first to reach the destination on the other side, and he almost cried when he fell to the ground.

His two guards who were with him have both died, he is really lucky, he must have burned incense in his past life to be spared.

After the guards passed by, it was Chu Jinsheng's turn.

Chu Jinsheng, who possessed some martial arts skills, imitated the guards' movements and leaped to his destination on the other side.

Only after he landed did he take a deep breath. Fortunately, he had brought enough guards this time. If it weren't for the guards scouting ahead for him, he wouldn't have been able to cross such a steep cliff so easily by himself.

He gritted his teeth secretly. Next time something this dangerous happened, he would let Ji Yunshu and the others go first, and he would go behind. It would always be safer to go behind someone else's path.

After Chu Jinsheng arrived, the others followed one after another to their destination.

Ji Yunshu put away the binoculars in her hand; she had taken in everything that had just happened.

Thinking about what she had just seen, she felt a chill run down her spine.

In the eyes of someone like Chu Jinsheng, life is like an ant, only fit to pave the way for him.

It's also the fault of these guards for being blind; of all the masters they could have chosen, they had to pick such a cold-blooded prince.

Royals are the most cold-hearted.

She looked at Xie Lin and the others and said calmly:

"Wait here for a while, I'll go tie the vines to the tree on the other side, and then everyone can slowly cross by pulling on the ropes."

"Your Highness, it's too dangerous here. Shall I go over?"

Xie Lin volunteered. After all, he had followed the prince all over the country, so this little bit of road was nothing to him.

"No need, I'll go myself. You just take the others and pack up the things. As for your prince, I'll leave him to you."
