The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

Dongfang Ye thought he was going to die, and he was unwilling to accept that.

He was the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, the heir to the throne, and was to rule the world in the future. Yet, he was assassinated to death, and the hatred in his body was roaring.

But he couldn't control his body as it slid down. The feeling of powerlessness filled his whole body, making him experience despair for the first time.

Suddenly! A hand slid across his arm. Although it was very fast, the clear touch made him look up suddenly, and then he saw Xie Lin's face that was somewhat similar to his own.

After the hand slid across his arm, it clenched tightly and grabbed his wrist. The prince's body suddenly stopped sliding down and hung in mid-air.

The killer who raised a knife to chop him was shot dead by Chu Heyi with an arrow. He fell on the edge of the cliff with a loud noise.

Dongfang Ye was a little confused. He originally wanted to be Xie Lin's savior, but in the end Xie Lin became his savior.

It was funny, but he couldn't laugh at all.

"Your Highness, I'll pull you up." Xie Lin was lying on the edge of the cliff, but he had no place to put his strength with his hands, so it was very difficult for him to pull up.

However, there were so many assassins that their guards were blocked somewhere and have not been able to arrive yet.

I don't even know if they can make it.

Especially Dongfang Ye’s guards, who had already been separated from him on the way or killed, had no idea that he was forced here.

"There is no way." Chu Heyi had run out of arrows, and her cold voice rang out in the night.

She picked up the long sword on the ground and fought with the endless stream of killers. Those killers were like hornets, appearing one after another, and she was defeated step by step.

Xie Lin was weak and covered in wounds. Without a foothold, it was difficult for him to pull Dongfang Ye up. Instead, he was pulled down by Dongfang Ye.

Because of the force, Xie Lin's veins popped up all over his body, and he asked, "Your Highness, are there any vines around? With so many assassins, even if I pull you up, we have no chance of survival."

Dongfang Ye finally came back to his senses. He fumbled around with his left hand and began looking for a foothold with his feet.

After a moment, he said in surprise: "There are vines!"

At this moment, he felt much more at ease and thought that maybe he wouldn't have to die here.

He grabbed a handful of vines and pulled hard, finding them very strong. "Thank you, sir, for trying to loosen your grip. I'll see if this vine can bear my weight."

Xie Lin slowly let go, and Dongfang Ye slowly shifted his body weight. After making sure that the vines could support his body, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked around. The mountain was full of vines.

"Sir Xie, please don't fight with them. We are too few in number and are no match for them. You and Lady Cheng'an should come down quickly." Dongfang Ye said.

He was also pleasantly surprised to find that there were trees growing between the cliffs, with their roots firmly attached to the rocks, and were surprisingly strong.

Dongfang Ye no longer cared about Xie Lin and Chu Heyi, and climbed down the vines alone. If he could follow the vines all the way to the bottom of the cliff, he could leave along the riverside.

Because of the injury, every time he moved it was very painful, and after climbing for a while, he was sweating profusely.

The howling of the river below the mountain mixed with the sounds of fighting on the cliff. He stopped to rest and looked up, but did not see Xie Lin and Chu Heyi.

He suddenly thought: "It's good that Xie Lin and Chu Heyi can't come down. They can hold the killer back up there, and I can take the opportunity to slip away."

He also thought: "If Xie Lin and Chu Heyi die at the hands of those assassins this time, my mother and I will be relieved of our worries and we won't have to think about recruiting them."

A blessing in disguise.

Dongfang Ye smiled coldly.

But at this moment, Xie Lin came down from the cliff. He was racing against time and didn't care about the injuries all over his body. He came down very quickly.

Chu Heyi was up there fighting off the assassin for him. She was forced to the edge of the cliff. Looking back, she saw that Xie Lin had hidden in the vines, almost blending in with the moonlight and could not be seen clearly.

She shouted, "If you kill Master Xie, I won't live anymore!"

She kicked the nearest one off the cliff.

The man brushed past Dongfang Ye and almost knocked him down with him. The man's screams echoed between the cliffs, and then Chu Heyi jumped down.

Before Dongfang Ye could come to his senses, he saw Chu Heyi's slender figure leaping above him in a beautiful arc, then sliding down along the cliff, and stopping next to Xie Lin.

No one noticed that at the moment of jumping off the cliff, Chu Heyi suddenly had a large iron hook in her hand. As she jumped, the hook was swung onto the horizontal tree trunk. As she slid down, she held the iron chain with one hand and tried to reach the vines on the cliff with the other hand, and finally stopped beside Xie Lin.

The sounds of fighting faded away, the evening breeze was bleak, she and Xie Lin looked at each other, and heard people on the cliff talking.

"Do you want to chase after him?"

"It's such a high cliff. If you miss, just chase me!"

"Let's go and see if there is a small path down there, or take a detour to the riverside and intercept them. If they are lucky enough to survive, we can kill them down there."

"You guys stay up there and don't let them come up. We'll go down there to intercept them."

The killers on the cliff split into two groups, vowing to block them between the cliffs.

A gust of wind blew, making the leaves rustle. The river water under the cliff rolled, and the water vapor rose up, making Chu Heyi feel that the air had become as muddy and difficult to walk on as a dirt road.

Xie Lin looked at her and pursed his lips. Neither of them spoke. They just held on to the vines tightly and slowly groped their way down.

No one looked down. The steep cliffs were really scary. They only knew to hold on to the vines carefully and put their weight on them every time, for fear of falling off the cliff and being crushed to pieces.

There was a narrow cave between the cliffs, which was found by Chu Heyi. After she went over, she used the chain in her hand to pull Xie Lin and Dongfang Ye over.

"There is always a way out. If only we could find this small cave to hide, those killers would never think of it." Chu Heyi said.

She hid in a corner of the cave. "Although the cave is small, at least it provides shelter from the wind and rain. It allows us to conserve our remaining energy and wait for rescue."

She looked at Dongfang Ye specifically and said, "You are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If you are missing, your people will surely come to look for you anxiously. We don't need to worry too much."

The cave was indeed very small. Even if three people sat side by side, it would seem a bit crowded, and standing was impossible.

However, having a hiding place did make Dongfang Ye feel more at ease. He replied to Chu Heyi: "Yes, we just need to wait for rescue here. When my father and mother know that I am missing, they will definitely send more people to look for me. The assassins near the cliff dare not stay for long."

He asked again: "It's night time, why is the Cheng'an County Lady outside the city?"
