"What in the world happened? I demand to know the whole truth!"
Nan Shi trembled all over in his urgency, his voice raised in anger.
"Your Majesty, someone had set an ambush in the hunting ground ahead of time, all the guards were slain. Furthermore, the beasts in the depths of the forest were disturbed, making the hunting ground treacherously dangerous. Most importantly, there are many assassins inside!"
"Assassins?"
"Yes, these assassins were likely targeting Princess Chu Baihan. Your humble servant discovered the bodies of the assassins, which is why I followed them. Those assassins are highly skilled in martial arts and are numerous. They came prepared. Although General Shi and Pavilion Master Tang tried to protect the Princess, in the end, they were forced to the edge of a cliff..."
"At first, the Princess was ambushed and fell off the cliff, afterwards, General Shi jumped down after her in an attempt to save her."
Lun Chengran answered with a sorrowful tone.
