The two men rushed towards the gap, fending off the attacks of the masked thieves as they went.

Finally, they broke out of the encirclement. Wei Yuanyi jumped onto the thieves' horse and galloped away with his guards.

But the thief was still chasing after him.

The guards took Wei Yuanyi and ran wildly in the woods. The branches scratched their clothes and cut their skin, but they did not dare to stop for even a moment.

After running for a while, the guard found a fork in the road ahead.

Then he said to Wei Yuanyi hastily: "Second Prince, please go to the right, I will lead them away."

"No, I can't leave you!" Wei Yuanyi said firmly.

The guard said without fear of life and death: "Second Prince, saving your life is the most important thing. If I die, please take care of my family!"

"Second Prince, please return to the camp as soon as possible to protect His Majesty's safety. Ask the garrison to thoroughly investigate this matter!"

Wei Yuanyi couldn't bear it and said, "You must come back alive!"

The guard nodded and ran to the left, deliberately making a lot of noise as he ran to attract the attention of the masked thief.

As expected, the masked thief was led away by the guards and chased after her.

Thinking that there might be spies infiltrating the camp, Wei Yuanyi became extremely anxious and rushed towards the camp without stopping.

On this side, Song Xiang and Xin Fusu were galloping in front, followed closely by the masked desperadoes.

In the chaos, Song Xiang lost his way and was forced to the edge of a cliff by the masked thieves.

"Your Highness, what should we do?" Xin Fusu's voice trembled slightly.

"Jump!" Song Xiang gritted his teeth, hugged Xin Fusu tightly, and jumped off the cliff.

At the moment of falling, the wind was whistling in his ears. Song Xiang climbed onto the grass and trees on the cliff, but he had only one thought in his mind: he must protect Xin Fusu.

The two of them kept bumping into the protruding rocks and thorns on the cliff. Song Xiang's arms were scratched by the grass and trees, and her sleeves were stained red with blood, but her hands were always tightly holding Xin Fusu.

Finally, while falling continuously, Song Xiang grabbed a vine on the cliff, and the two of them were temporarily stabilized.

"Your Highness, please let go." Xin Fusu said tremblingly, suppressing his great fear as he looked at Song Xiang's bloody arm.

"It's okay, I can still hold on." Song Xiang gritted his teeth and tried hard to support the weight of two people.

However, before they could find a way out, the vines broke under the weight and the two fell down again.

"Ah..." The scream echoed at the bottom of the cliff.

After an unknown amount of time, Song Xiang and Xin Fusu slowly woke up. Xin Fusu's clothes were torn by the scratches of branches and thorns.

He was not seriously injured. Instead, Song Xiang fell under him at the moment of falling.

"Your Highness, wake up, wake up quickly!" Xin Fusu lay on Song Xiang, climbed up with difficulty, knelt on his left side, and shook Song Xiang gently.

Song Xiang opened his eyes dazed, and only felt relieved after seeing Xin Fusu was safe and sound.

Xin Fusu helped Song Xiang to get up. Song Xiang had a severe headache and his arm seemed to be dislocated!

But she didn't dare tell Xin Fusu, for fear that he would feel guilty.

"I'm fine, it's just that the bottom of this cliff..."

Song Xiang looked around, and saw only towering old trees and thickets of thorns, and there was no way out.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry..." Xin Fusu looked at Song Xiang, who was covered in scars and had messy hair, and said guiltily, "If you hadn't been under me, I'm afraid..."

"Don't let your imagination run wild!" Song Xiang said in a deep voice, "The height just now is not enough to kill us. Let's find a way out first!"

"If we can't find a way out, it's very easy to get hypothermic in this wet, fire-proof, and sunless place!"

"If we get hypothermia, I'm afraid neither of us will survive!"

Xin Fusu nodded slightly and leaned against Song Xiang. The two supported each other and began to grope forward at the bottom of the cliff.

Suddenly, a low roar was heard, and a ferocious little tiger jumped out of the woods and pounced towards them.

"Be careful!" Song Xiang pushed Xin Fusu away, drew the dagger from his waist and rushed towards the little tiger.

The little tiger bared its teeth and claws in a pounce, but failed and was instead scratched on the claw by Song Xiang.

It licked its paws, went around to the side, and stared at Song Xiang with hunger and ferocity in its eyes.

Xin Fusu was anxiously looking for something to help, but when he heard the little tiger's roar, he shrank back in fear.

Song Xiang was not frightened. She quickly calmed down and observed the tiger's every move.

She found that although this tiger looked ferocious, it was thin and weak, not as strong as other tigers.

What's more, its right leg seems to have some difficulty in movement, perhaps due to an injury before.

Song Xiang came up with an idea. She slowly moved to the left, deliberately attracting the little tiger's attention.

As expected, the little tiger was attracted by her movements and pounced towards her left side. Song Xiang took the opportunity to dodge to the right, leaving the little tiger empty-handed.

The little tiger became angry and pounced on Song Xiang again.

Song Xiang quickly jumped onto a big rock. After the tiger missed his attack again, it roared at Song Xiang.

Just at this moment, Xin Fusu threw over a piece of thorn tremblingly.

After being startled, the little tiger immediately aimed at Xin Fusu.

Just as the little tiger was walking towards Xin Fusu, Song Xiang seized the opportunity, jumped down from the big rock, landed behind the little tiger, and stabbed the dagger into the little tiger's stomach.

The little tiger was frightened and struggled to run a few steps.

How could Song Xiang let it go? She picked up a stone with her left hand and smashed it hard on the tiger's injured right leg.

The tiger felt pain and staggered away a few steps.

At the same time, the place where Song Xiang stabbed him began to bleed profusely. The little tiger could no longer hold on and fell to the ground with a bang.

"Your Highness, it...it's dead?" Xin Fusu carefully moved to Song Xiang's side while observing the little tiger.

After seeing the little tiger struggle for a few times and then close its eyes unwillingly.

Xin Fusu finally felt relieved. He looked at Song Xiang's right arm with worry and said dryly, "Your right arm is dislocated. Why did you hide it from me?"

Song Xiang was panting, but she didn't bother to explain to Xin Fusu. She said quickly: "We have to leave here quickly. The smell of blood is strong here. If we attract other tigers or snakes, it will be troublesome!"

Xin Fusu shuddered when he heard this, and supported Song Xiang and said, "Okay! Let's leave quickly!"

Song Xiang picked up a long branch from the ground and used it to explore the way.

The two continued to move forward, trying to avoid areas with deep grass along the way.

Xin Fusu hesitated several times before finally reaching a cliff that could be climbed. He spoke: "Your Highness, if we can get out alive, I..."

"What's wrong with you?" Song Xiang snorted coldly, "Don't tell me that because I dislocated your arm while hugging you, you're thinking of repaying me by marrying me, right?"

"Xin Fusu, you're not that kind of person, are you?"
