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

The wind and snow were fierce on the cliff, and rocks fell from time to time. They also had to avoid the sight of the eldest prince and the second prince.

He walked each step cautiously, his heart constantly clenched with anxiety.

He is now filled with regret. If he had known things would turn out this way, he should have brought his wife with him today.

His wife's spatial ability is incredibly powerful; given the distance, she should be able to send Wang Zheng back to her spatial ability. But unfortunately...

He tried to calm himself down. Nothing would happen, nothing should happen. If he found Wang Zheng again, he would definitely hide him away properly.

Today, the First Prince and the Second Prince owe Wang Zheng what he has to make them repay personally.

Meanwhile, after Wang Zheng jumped off the cliff, the First Prince, the Second Prince, and the others rushed to the edge of the cliff.

Heavy snow was falling from the sky. After Wang Zheng jumped off the cliff, the surroundings were shrouded in mist. Therefore, Chu Jingrui, Chu Jinsheng and the others could not see the situation below the mountain very clearly, and did not know the specifics of Wang Zheng's fall, whether he was alive or dead.

Seeing that the person he was after had vanished, Chu Jingrui, seething with anger, glared at Chu Jinsheng through gritted teeth:

"Hey, my good brother, do you even know how to handle things? You've driven a perfectly good person to his death! Do you even know that I'm about to succeed!"

If you hadn't come, he would have been tricked into coming!

"Pah! Do you want to hear what nonsense you're spouting? You fooled him even though I didn't come. You've already been exposed!"

Do you think Wang Zheng is deaf and blind? He could find out what happened at the Wang residence these past few days with just a little inquiry. Look at his expression just now; he clearly already knows the truth!

You're still lying to him that the people in the Prince's mansion are dying. Do you think Wang Zheng is a pig-brain, believing such a lame lie as yours?

"So, according to you, I should thank you?"

Let me tell you, you're dreaming. If you hadn't come along today, I would have definitely caught Wang Zheng. What are you doing here, getting involved in this mess?

He had trusted me completely, but he became wary after seeing you appear!

I said, "Can you please stop making things worse? You can't get things done yourself, and I was finally about to get it done, but you ruined it again!"

If you really have nothing to do, just stay in the inn and don't wander around! Now that someone has fallen off a cliff and is dead, what are we going to do next?

You wanted to capture Wang Zheng to deal with Xie Moyao, but now, your plan is probably going to fall through!

"Chu Jinsheng, I'm warning you to watch your words. Who told you to find Wang Zheng's whereabouts without telling me?"

This matter was clearly something I approached you to discuss and collaborate on; it was something we did together. But after you found Wang Zheng's whereabouts, not only did you not tell me, but you also deliberately avoided my people and came to find Wang Zheng on your own. What are your intentions?!

Don't think I don't know you wanted to do this all by yourself. The plan to deal with Xie Moyao was my idea, so don't think you can just get rid of me like that!

"Pah! Which eye of yours saw that I wanted to dump you? It's just that things happened so urgently that I didn't have time to tell you."

I'll take him back to Liancheng sooner or later. Once I bring him back to the post station, you'll know for sure!"

Because of Wang Zheng's fall off the cliff, Chu Jingrui and Chu Jinsheng were both burning with anger and were arguing fiercely.

The thought of their painstakingly planned scheme falling apart made them both want to strangle each other.

The atmosphere on the cliff was quiet for a while. The wind and snow were howling in the sky. Xiao Wu and another person looked at each other and came to the edge of the cliff at the same time. Looking down the cliff, they were surrounded by thick fog and could not see the situation below the cliff at all.

Only the faint sound of flowing water could be heard coming from the bottom of the cliff.

Xiao Wu froze, quickly walked back, and whispered to the First Prince:

"We haven't even seen the person who just fell, so it's still unknown whether Wang Zheng is alive or dead."

I just heard the faint sound of flowing water at the bottom of the cliff. If Wang Zheng fell into the water but didn't die, we can send people down to search for him now and maybe bring him back.

As soon as Xiao Wu finished speaking, Liu Zi returned to Chu Jingrui's side. Chu Jingrui looked at him and saw Liu Zi nod at him, indicating that what Xiao Wu said was indeed true.

Chu Jingrui's heart stirred, and he stretched out his hand in front of Liu Zi. Liu Zi understood and quickly took out a piece of paper from his pocket. Chu Jingrui unfolded the paper, which contained a topographical map of the entire Northwest.

Chu Jinsheng stood aside, quite surprised to see Chu Jingrui take out a topographical map of the entire Northwest.

He didn't expect that Chu Jingrui would actually draw the entire terrain of the Northwest in the past two days, with very detailed annotations on the drawing.

He only glanced at the map to see how many people lived in each village, how many people lived in Liancheng, and the surrounding geography. It was clear that Chu Jingrui had put a lot of thought into the map.

These things were unexpected even to him. Chu Jinsheng was shocked, but he didn't show it on his face.

Chu Jingrui pointed at the map and looked at it several times, finally placing his finger on a particular spot:

"This is our current location. Based on the direction Wang Zheng just fell from, we should be down here!"

There is indeed a river below, so there is still a chance he can survive. Liu Zi, quickly take some men down to the bottom of the cliff in the other direction and see if he is dead or alive.

"We've investigated to this point; we need to see them alive or dead!"

Liu Zi nodded, quickly turned around, and gave a series of instructions to the people behind him:

"You've all heard what the Second Prince said. Now, immediately take your men and go around the cliff from the other side to search in the water. Follow the current downstream and search a little longer!"

You all know what that person looks like. Keep searching downstream. We need to find him alive or dead. You must bring him back!

He was the Second Prince's personal bodyguard and usually wouldn't leave the Second Prince's side; these matters could only be handled by his subordinates.

After Liu Zi finished giving his instructions, most of the group of people following behind them dismounted and rode away.

Most of the people here are the Second Prince's men, and these people have been around Liancheng for many years. They are somewhat familiar with the surrounding terrain and know the way to the bottom of the cliff without even asking for directions.

Watching his men leave, Liu Zi turned to look at the Second Prince:

"Second Prince, look, my men have gone to look for it. After all, this place is quite far from Liancheng, and there are concerns about danger in the surrounding area. Why don't you return to Liancheng and wait for news?"

With so many people watching us, no matter how capable Wang Zheng is, he can't escape our grasp.

Chu Jingrui nodded in satisfaction, only then remembering that Chu Jinsheng was still standing to the side.

Turning his head, he saw Chu Jinsheng standing to the side with Xiao Wu and Xiao San, glancing at them from time to time. Chu Jingrui gritted his teeth. He had been so busy looking at the map and instructing his men that he had completely forgotten about this group!

If he had known earlier, he would have quietly instructed his subordinates to handle these matters.
