Chapter 2

　　Part I

　　Jumping off from Xuan Ya, Feng Ming never had thoughts it would taken great deal of power and effort to open the parachute due to the sharp downward velocity which has increased rapidly.

　　.

　　.

　　The alt.i.tude wind has always been unexpected for novice skydiver. The parachute finally able to balance for a moment, the wind from underneath seems to support the parachute and stopped Feng Ming from continue being fallen; it was actually uplifted slightly higher.

　　.

　　.

　　In a split moment, like a thunder strike momentum, for the force of nature had manifested as the wind suddenly ram Feng Ming into the cliff.

　　.

　　.

　　“Ah!” a sharp pain pa.s.sed thorough heart and spreads from his chest.

　　.

　　.

　　Fortunately, after this one hit, the parachutes had drifted away from the cliff, and finally returned to earlier direction, downward to the spiral river and slowly descended.

　　.

　　.

　　“Boom”……  Feng Ming fallen into the water, he knew has successful taken the first step to escape. He struggled in the water to remove the parachute and barely swam across the river.

　　.

　　.

　　“Blockade the river, quickly! Searched for about fifty yards, no inches of gra.s.s are allowed to go uncheck!”  He just arrived to the sh.o.r.e and into the wood when constantly boisterous shouts came from a distance, accompanied by the heavy puffed and with hooves sound.

　　.

　　.

　　‘It was unthinkable the pursuers have moved so rapidly.’

　　.

　　.

　　Feng Ming taken aback, he went into a clump of bushes which, has tiny blooming pink flowers, breathless and then snooped.

　　.

　　.

　　“General, found this in the river!” Soldiers were picked up the parachute from the river and brought it over.

　　.

　　.

　　Hooves echoes rapidly, as a crisp female voice called out:  “Have Duke Ming been found?”

　　.

　　.

　　“Your Highness!”

　　.

　　.

　　“Miao Guang Princess!”

　　.

　　.

　　“Reports Your Highness, Duke Ming is temporarily unaccounted for, your servant has the river blockade and ordered to intensify the search.”

　　.

　　.

　　Miao Guang sat on the horse, panic-stricken, no longer composed like her usual self: “He…… he jumped off a cliff , is it likely……”

　　.

　　.

　　“We has searched the river surface and had found this material, Duke Ming likely used this to escape.”

　　.

　　.

　　Miao Guang took the wet parachute, and instantly recognised it was her petticoat, frozen for a while before face turned cold: “Someone, keep this for me; ah! Heralds the message, if anyone able to catch Duke Ming, I’ll report to my Brother King to reward and knighted him.”

　　.

　　.

　　“Yes!” Everyone was fiery responded.

　　.

　　.

　　Hooves and footsteps were roared into his ears.

　　.

　　.

　　‘Be reward and knighted?’ Feng Ming smiled drily, he turned around, and the riverbanks were surrounded by soldiers which had started for their searches. If he had have stayed in the water instead of swam to sh.o.r.e then they would surely found him.

　　.

　　.

　　Since the incident was unexpected, Miao Guang’s soldiers were only a vanguard group, so the group is small in number. Moreover, the parachute was found in the river thus they have focused their attention on the river. Therefore, the woodland compared to riverside was more thoroughly searches. ‘This is the best time to get far away from here as possible.’ Feng Ming quietly moved backward and fled.

　　.

　　.

　　He bolted into the woodland, then taken a little stop for breathing and all a sudden chest pain was felt aching inside.
