After resting and breathing for a while, Condensation helped Ruoan change the medicine on her knee again, and then helped her out of the cave.

After staying in the dark cave for a long time, suddenly seeing the daylight, Ruoan was still a little uncomfortable, blocked the light with his arms, squinted his eyes for a while before getting used to it, and said with a condensation smile: "It's good for a while......"

Ruoan nodded, opened his eyes and looked around, he was too hurried and tired when he came here last night, and the night was so thick that he didn't see his surroundings clearly......

The huge peach tree at the entrance of the cave alone was very eye-popping, the trunk was so thick that a few strong men could not necessarily surround it, let alone its thick canopy, at this time in the summer, the branches were lush and green, and the breeze passed by, and the branches and leaves rustled.

Seeing Ruo'an looking up at the tree in a daze, he smiled condensedly: "If you come earlier, you can still see peach blossoms, the petals of the tree are clustered on the branches, it is not spectacular, and from time to time there are petals that are clear, which is very beautiful......

"Sister Ning...... I now finally understand why you don't want to go back to the palace...... Maybe you can't eat well here, you can't sleep warmly, but at least the mind is free, maybe you will be lonely, but at least there are not so many intrigues, there are not so many troubles and trivialities, everything goes naturally, nature and man are one, so uncomfortable......" Ruo'an revealed a trace of envy in her words, if she and Leng Chen could also put aside the trivial matters of the court, and they could also return to the mountains and forests like this, how good would it be, there would be no jealousy, no suspicion, and no murder, wouldn't it be a hundred times better to enjoy family life than to live in that high palace wall?

Condensation shook his head: "I'm different from them, I'm a princess after all, but it won't affect anything, but as royal and noble clansmen, they must take on this kind of responsibility and mission, and they have the obligation to take care of every person in the country." Escapism like mine is just the most negative escape, you should have confidence in them to change the status quo, expose Shan Lin's ambitions, and return the people of the world to a peaceful and prosperous world! ”

Ruoan smiled and nodded...... Although she nodded on her face, she still had no confidence in her heart, not to mention changing the national fortunes of Wanqing Country, it was difficult to expose Shan Lin's conspiracy alone, she said that there was no evidence, and there was no evidence to convict him. Just as he was rampant in the palace that day, what if he killed a human life? It's not that he knocked down a rake and framed a stab. His cunning Ruoan has seen it, and if he is to really bring him down, he must find tangible evidence. And Princess Condensation was not willing to go out of the mountain to identify, which made the task even more difficult. knows that he is the one who should be brought to justice. But because there is no evidence, I can only watch him get away with it, which feels like a fish in his throat, which is very unpleasant.

Contempt looked at the sun above his head and said, "Let's go quickly, otherwise we won't be able to reach the foot of the mountain before dark......," Ruo An replied, and slowly walked towards the foot of the mountain with the condensation.

Stumbling along the way is inevitable. Ruo'an tightly guarded the hard-won schisandra in the cloth pocket, for fear that it would be spilled, and finally saw a flat grass, Ruo'an couldn't hold on anymore. I begged to sit down and rest for a while.

Condensation also sat down, she was also injured, and she was a little unbearable to rush like this, but for Ruo'an's safety, she still decided to send her down the mountain as soon as possible, after all, she hadn't figured out what the group of mountain bandits who went up the mountain came from, leaving Ruo'an in the mountain would be more dangerous for a moment, so she could only rush as soon as possible, seeing that she was about to walk to the foot of the mountain, and she could already vaguely see the village, so Condensation also agreed to Ruo'an's request to rest for a while.

Not long after the two of them sat down, Condensation immediately became alert, frowned, and said to Ruo'an: "Don't move!" There seems to be movement! ”

Saying this, Ruo'an also paid attention to the sounds around him, and sure enough, there was a rustling sound approaching him, Ruo'an's heart tightened suddenly, could it be that the mountain bandits found it!

"Who is it! Come out for me! Condensation suddenly shouted at Ruo'an's back, and he pulled out the dagger at his waist and blocked it in front of Ruoan. The already hideous face made people even more frightened to look at this time.

"Ahh I'm fighting with you! A familiar voice came from the grass, and then a thin figure rushed out, brandishing a short sword, and slashed at the top of the condensation head, and shouted: "Let go of Madame!" You ugly bastard! ”

Condensation instinctively raised his hand to block it, but unfortunately his shoulder was injured, and he couldn't stand the impact at all, and as soon as his wrist was loosened, the dagger fell to the ground.

"Ahh When the man was about to slash again with his sword, Ruoan hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and yelled, "Stop! Stop it! ”

The man was stunned for a moment, and Condensation suddenly had a chance to fight back, and picked up the dagger on the ground and put it across the man's neck.

"Sister Ning, don't!" Ruo'an hurriedly shouted, she could already see the coldness flashing in her eyes, if she shouted more slowly, presumably Baogen's head would be separated from her neck.

That's right, this guy who suddenly appeared is Baogen, he is in tatters and bloodstains, his forehead is also swollen, and his cheeks are blue and purple, not much better than Ruo'an's decadent appearance, seeing the two stop, Ruo'an hurriedly stepped forward to separate the two: "Don't fight, it's your own ......"

"Madame! Who is this ugly monster? She didn't do anything to you! Bao Gen angrily pulled Ruoan behind him, and Ruoan was angry and anxious: "What nonsense! She's ......"

Ruoan was about to explain, but Condensation waved his hand and said: "Presumably this is the person you are talking about, since he has found you, there is no need for me to send you down the mountain, you can go, don't tell others that you have seen me!" Then he turned around and left.

Ruo'an was anxious and hurriedly called: "Sister Ning! When will we see each other again? ”

Condensation didn't look back, and replied lightly: "There is a fate to meet each other...... After saying that, he strode towards the depths of the forest, Ruo'an's eyes were red, it was Leng Chen's relatives who missed day and night, but she couldn't keep her, it was really a pity, and I don't know if Lu Dao Leng Chen would be angry with himself if he knew the truth about Lu Dao......

"Madame, who is this? How do you look like a ghost, and your face is so ugly! Baogen complained unknowingly, seeing that Ruo'an didn't reply, he looked down, and saw Ruo'an crying, so frightened that he didn't know what to do: "Madam, what's wrong with you?" Who is she? Why is it so important? That Baogen just said that he drew the wrong picture, don't be angry, madam...... Don't be sad......"

Ruo'an knew that Dao Baogen had no intention of seriously injuring condensation, so he could only smile bitterly: "It's just an old man...... Don't mention this matter to outsiders, so as not to disturb her Qingxiu ......"

"Oh......" Baogen scratched his head as if he didn't understand, as if he hadn't understood how a woman with such an ugly appearance could have anything to do with the princess? I really don't know what happened overnight on this day.

"Madame, you're fine, are you?" Looking at Ruo'an's injured knee, Baogen asked anxiously, Ruoan shook his head: "I'm fine, why did you end up like this?" What happened? ”

Baogen sighed and said: "Actually, not long after I separated from my wife that day, I met that group of mountain bandits, and I saw them lighting fire to burn schisandra, so I followed them, and watched them walk in the direction of Guanyin Temple, I wanted to go around to them to report to Madame, but I never thought that they were even more cunning, pretending to be pretentious, leading Madame to the back door, and falling into their trap!" There are many of them, and I am alone and helpless, and I can't fight hard, so I think of a way to outwit them...... It's a pity ......"

"What a pity?" Joan asked.

Bao Gen was a little embarrassed: "It's too dark, when Madame and them got into trouble, I lost you before I found a chance to get in......"

Ruoan smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said, "I don't blame you for this, don't blame yourself......"

Baogen shook his head: "It's all because I lost it, and Madame was hurt...... It's a treasure root that is not good ......"

"Okay, it's all over, if you hadn't lost it, I guess I wouldn't have seen this old man, and it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise......," Ruo'an said with relief.

Baogen nodded, still a little cramped, and Ruoan asked, "Then what about later, how did you get this way?" ”

When Bao Gen heard this, he stomped his feet angrily and said: "Don't mention it, if I lost my wife, I could only follow the group of people to search in the forest, and I didn't see the shadow of my wife all night, I thought that my wife must have escaped, so I thought that I would come to the foot of this mountain and wait for you, who knew that they would find out in the end...... I was outnumbered, so I could only flee for my life, and finally got rid of them, so I waited here for my wife, thinking that if I didn't see my wife's shadow for three days, I would go back to the palace to rescue the soldiers! ”

"I've worked hard for you, I've hurt you so much...... Ruo'an is a little distressed, he must be a young man who has just turned twenty, his face is full of childishness, and it is not easy to protect himself so sacrificially.

"Madame, don't say that, it's my mistake, my fault!" Baogen's emotions were a little excited, and Ruoan hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, now it's pointless to tell who is right and who is wrong, by the way, you have been following them for so long, have you gotten any clues?" Do you know who they are? ”

Bao Gen calmed down when he heard this, he twisted his eyebrows, and recalled carefully: "I have been following them, not very close, but I can vaguely hear their conversation......

"What did they say?!" Ruo'an came to the spirit, and Bao Gen said: "They seem to be talking about the remuneration for this trip to the mountain or something, saying that they have made a windfall...... It seems that someone gave them a large sum of money to buy them off and let them go up the mountain to find Schisandra......"

"Who is behind the scenes, do you know what?" Joan asked.

Baogen shook his head: "They didn't elaborate, they just said what they said to have done this single job, and when they went back, Shopkeeper Tan set up a banquet and waited for them...... Who is this Tan shopkeeper, I don't know what to say......"

"Shopkeeper Tan......" Ruoan pondered the name carefully, and wondered if he could use the vine of Shopkeeper Tan to touch the real master behind this? (To be continued......)
