Chapter 334: Lu Wenshu’s Threa (2/2)

The hundred-men captain obviously didn’t think Lu Wenshu would have a method for so many of them to descend the cliff safely, hence, he nodded and agreed.

“Good.” Lu Wenshu hastily stated his method of descending. “There is a way to go down the cliff in another 20 miles. We shall head over and start the search and rescue operation.”

The hundred-men captain was startled as he was obviously surprised by Lu Wenshu’s quick-wittedness. Just as he was about to come up with more excuses, Lu Wenshu shot him down.

“From what I know, the soldiers and officers of the Cloud Water Nation’s military had to record three generations of their families when taking up post. Unless you die in battle, your records won’t be erased. Even if you conceal the matter of His First Highness falling off the cliff, you will need to face scrutiny when resuppling at the next city or town. Even if you can’t be immediately brought back to the capital city to be interrogated, do you think your families can escape punishment? This is your Commander in Chief you’re talking about. Moveover, he is the First Prince of the nation. He is His Majesty’s eldest son and if something happens to him, you should be able to think of the consequences.”

The soldiers and officers were frightened by Lu Wenshu’s threat and they started moving. By evening, all of them reached the bottom of the cliff.

At this moment, Bai Luochu had already applied medicine to Pei Rumo’s wounds for the second time.

“How long more can we last?” Pei Rumo saw that it was already dark and asked Bai Luochu.

Bai Luochu felt that Pei Rumo was being a scaredy cat. However, she couldn’t ignore him. “If you’re talking about medicine, we should be able to last till the day after tomorrow. I didn’t bring too much and it will not last for long. As for food, you don’t need to worry about it. I can harvest some fruits or herbs along the way. Don’t light a fire in case you attract some spirit beasts or wild beasts.”

“Will they be able to find us?” Pei Rumo asked again.

In order to reassure Pei Rumo, Bai Luochu promised him, “Definitely. If Lu Wenshu wants to save us, the entire army should have started their search and rescue operation.”

The cave quickly fell silent after Bai Luochu completed her sentence.

“I am not afraid of death.” Pei Rumo suddenly spoke up. Just as Bai Luochu was about to tell him that he wasn’t going to die, he interrupted her, “I am just thinking about the promise to keep you safe. Now, I caused you to fall off a cliff. I should have listened to you…”

Bai Luochu was rather embarrassed after hearing Pei Rumo’s words as she quickly soothed Pei Rumo, “Don’t blame yourself. If I was insistent on not departing, we might not be in this state. If someone needs to take the blame, I should be the one who troubled Your First Highness.”

Maybe Lu Wenshu is threatening them as we speak...
