Chapter 290 - 290 Plan
290 Plan
Baili relied on the strength of his feet and waist to maintain his balance. Otherwise, if he was not careful, he would easily pull everyone down.
The people controlling the ropes on the cliff were all very careful not to relax.
Due to the rain, the cliff wall became very slippery. Even if Baili was anxious, he did not dare to be too fast. He gritted his teeth and slowly groped around.
Suddenly, he saw a huge bulge that moved in a direction.
He didn’t dare stand on the protruding stone for fear that the person above would be pulled off the cliff by inertia. He could only approach that spot.
However, as soon as he approached, he saw Ning Yue and Jiang Ying!
Ning Yue was also shocked. “Baili!”
“Princess, Prince Jiang, why have you become like this?” Baili was shocked by Ning Yue’s old face and gray hair. For a moment, he ignored Jiang Ying’s injuries.
“I’m fine. I’m just poisoned. I’ll be able to undo it in two days.” Ning Yue waved her hand indifferently and asked, “Time is tight. I’ll ask and you’ll answer. Don’t interrupt. Does Uncle want me to represent Russia in the celebration of the Three Kingdoms Festival?”
“Yes,” Baili replied.
“Very good. I don’t have time to explain to you. Go back now and say that you didn’t find us on this trip. I’ll arrive on time when the Three Kingdoms Festival begins,” Ning Yue said.
What? Baili looked at Ning Yue in shock. What was Her Highness thinking?
“Go back,” Ning Yue said.
Baili said nothing. This was Ning Yue’s decision. All he could do was listen to Ning Yue’s instructions.
He tugged at the rope a few times and gestured for the people above to pull him up.
“Baili is pulling the rope. Hurry up and pull him up!” Ah Da felt the rope being pulled a few times and immediately ordered someone to pull it up.
Soon, Baili returned to the top of the cliff again. Ah Da quickly asked, “How is it? Did you find anything?”
Baili was silent for a moment. Recalling Ning Yue’s instructions, he shook his head at Ah Da. “I knew at a glance what’s going on down there. There’s no clue at all.”
Ah Da sighed. He looked disconsolately at the bloodstains on the edge of the cliff. He wondered if these bloodstains belonged to his heir.
If that was the case, the blood loss was too great. It was really heart-wrenching.
Baili looked at Ah Da and could not bear to see him like this. However, when he thought of Ning Yue’s instructions, he resisted the urge to tell Ah Da the truth.
“I think they should have already left this place. Let’s go back first. We’ll send more people to look for them tomorrow,” Baili said.
In the past few days, because of Ning Yue and Jiang Ying’s disappearance, the capital had been turned upside down. Even Jiang Huan and Xin Xin had come.
He looked terrible as he came to the palace to question the emperor. “Why did my son disappear as soon as he arrived in the capital? Emperor, shouldn’t you give me an explanation?”
“And my future daughter-in-law!” Xin Xin added.
The emperor also wanted to know why!
Two days later, Jiang Ying and Ning Yue came out. The emperor almost hugged Jiang Ying and cried. Jiang Ying and Ning Yue did not explain much and planned to go to the Three Kingdoms Festival.
As for the finishing touches, he would leave them to the emperor and Yuan Hui.
They spread the news of their disappearance, causing that group of people to give themselves away.
Yuan Hui had been instructed by Ning Yue to pretend to besiege the Miracle Doctor Valley when they participated in the celebration.
Before attacking the Miracle Doctor’s Valley, Ning Yue and Jiang Ying went to the Three Kingdoms Festival.
As the Three Kingdoms Festival team was relatively large, they would not reach their destination so quickly, so they were not in a hurry.
On this day, they came to a city to stay.
After Jiang Ying settled Ning Yue down, he instructed Baili and left.
When he returned, there was a maid beside him.
He could not stay with Ning Yue for the Three Kingdoms Festival. Baili and the other secret guards could only follow Ning Yue at most. As for Ah Da, he had something to send to him, so he could not protect Ning Yue for the time being.
Therefore, he found a female secret guard from the troops he was training to follow Ning Yue. Ning Yue could also use her as a maidservant.
He had originally planned to nurture this female secret guard into an intelligence killer.
Now, for Ning Yue’s safety, he would rather her receive less information.
