The autumn wind is bleak, and the moon and stars are scarce.

Halfway through the night, the firewood in the cave had burned out, leaving only a faint spark to make a final struggle.

Looking at the slowly darkening cave, Xie Fuyao chose to close his eyes and lean against the stone wall to pretend to sleep.

Wei Jingyao turned around slightly, looking through the sparse leaves, looking at the mottled moonlight outside, and the wound on his shoulder was still aching.

"I was looking for someone to kidnap Pei Ruhuan that day, just to help you, and I didn't mean anything else. Wei Jingyao's tone was light, as if he was talking to himself.

You are the only one I want to ask to marry in this life, but Wei Jingyao didn't say the second half of the sentence.

Xie Fuyao was slightly stunned, she opened her eyes and looked at the endless darkness, and there was silence in the cave.

The first rays of sunlight in the morning sprinkled on Wei Jingyao's body, and Wei Jingyao stood up and moved his sore muscles.

Because of the vigil, there was hardly any sleep that night.

The moment Wei Jingyao got up, Xie Fuyao had already opened his eyes.

Originally, I thought it would be just a light nap, but I didn't expect that in the second half of the night, I would fall asleep in a daze.

This cognition made Xie Fuyao feel a little scary, when Wei Jingyao was next to him, he would have an inexplicable sense of security in his heart, which could make him fall asleep steadily.

"It's been so long, A-Ning should have come here. ”

Because he hadn't drunk water for too long, Wei Jingyao's voice was a little hoarse.

Realizing that he was talking to himself, Xie Fuyao stood up and pushed away the branch at the entrance of the cave with Wei Jingyao.

The scenery outside is so peaceful and peaceful, if it weren't for the wolf howls in the middle of the night, Xie Fuyao would really regard this place as a fairy holy place.

"Let's go, stay any longer, I'm afraid we'll be exhausted, it's better to go forward and explore the exit. ”

Wei Jingyao looked calm, as if he had just slept in his own house.

"Good!"

Seeing that Wei Jingyao had no signs of fever, Xie Fuyao couldn't help but be grateful for the herb yesterday.

After a night of repairing, the two of them were still full of energy, and walked all the way along the flat part of the road, and it didn't take long to hear shouts in the distance.

"Master!"

"Master!"

The distance of the sound was not too far, but Xie Fuyao did not find any trace of anyone around.

It wasn't until she followed Wei Jingyao across the hill that she saw the black palace guards.

It's no wonder that the King of Chu is missing, presumably the guards of the Chu Palace's palace have already gone crazy.

"Aning, I'm here. ”

Wei Jingyao's voice was not loud, but the little guard in the distance, as if he had ears to the wind, even jumped and ran this way, and even used light skills.

"Master!"

The little guard jumped and was about to pounce on Wei Jingyao's body, Xie Fuyao wanted to remind him that Wei Jingyao had an injury on his hand, but the next scene opened Xie Fuyao's eyes.

Wei Jingyao silently shifted a small step to the right, and the little guard named A-Ning pounced like this, stumbling and almost hitting the grass directly.

"Master, you are too unkind, I have been worried about you all night. A-Ning frowned, full of displeasure.

"It took me one night to find this king, and I don't think you need to be the head of the guard. ”

"Master, you won't be so ruthless. Hearing this, A-Ning's whole body shrugged, drooping his ears, and his face was displeased.

"Although it has been a little longer, I have been bothering to look for it, and the woods are so large, I and my brothers searched hard, and finally found traces of feathers on the stone walls between the cliffs. ”

Could it be that it is the matching sword in Wei Jingyao's hand.

The name is good, but when he thought that Wei Jingyao used it as a burning stick yesterday, Xie Fuyao felt a little funny.

"Thinking that you might have accidentally stumbled and fallen into the cliff, I didn't even take a breath, so I ran down to find you, and I didn't sleep all night. ”

The more A-Ning spoke, the more aggrieved he became, and in the end, his voice was so small that even the mosquitoes couldn't hear it clearly.

Xie Fuyao didn't understand why Wei Jingyao would have such a thing by his side, and he chattered endlessly.

"Finished?" Wei Jingyao squinted at A-Ning, "When you're done, hurry up and lead the way, this king is very tired now, and he doesn't have time to talk nonsense with you." ”

As soon as he heard this, A-Ning instantly became excited, "Okay, master, go this way, watch your step." ”

Wei Jingyao did not directly send Xie Fuyao back to Xie Mansion, but first took her to the medical center where Ziyun and Ziyu were treated.

Seeing that Ziyun and Ziyun were safe and sound, Xie Fuyao's hanging heart finally let go.

Because Wei Jingyao appeared in time, the knife in the killer's hand did not stab Ziyun, and Ziyu only suffered some minor injuries.

"Miss, why are you so badly injured, it's all my fault, I didn't stay by Miss's side. ”

Ziyu was already anxious waiting in the medical hall, and looking at Xie Fuyao's tattered clothes, her heart became even more uncomfortable.

"Okay, silly girl, it's just a scratched clothes, I don't have anything to do, just some slight abrasions, just rub some medicinal wine. Xie Fuyao hooked Ziyu's nose and said with relief.

"Miss is fine, then what should we do now, go back to Xie Mansion directly?"

Ziyun carefully inspected Xie Fuyao's body, and saw that it was only some skin trauma, so he was relieved.

"No, don't go back first, let them see this look, wouldn't they be laughed at in vain, go to the little aunt first, and then make plans. ”

Xie Fuyao said without a beak, a glimmer of light flashed in the corner of his eye.

Fortunately, it was early in the morning, and there were not many guests in Lixiangfang, so for the sake of prudence, Xie Fuyao did not enter through the front door, but quietly knocked on the back door.

Originally, Hua Jinxiu was still curious, who would run to the back door of this courtyard early in the morning, but after seeing the person in front of him clearly, he couldn't help but cry out in distress.

"Girl, what's going on? How did you get this way?"

Looking at the two maids next to her, they were all grizzled and embarrassed.

Hua Jinxiu hurriedly asked people to take Ziyun Ziyu down to freshen up, and then pulled Xie Fuyao to his room.

After repeatedly making sure that Xie Fuyao's injuries were fine, Hua Jinxiu prepared a large bucket of hot water.

"Little aunt, that's the way it is, if you hadn't just met His Royal Highness the King of Chu, I'm afraid you wouldn't have met your smart niece. ”

Xie Fuyao came out of the water, put on a light coat, and sat next to Hua Jinxiu.

Hua Jinxiu took the medicine box and put it on the table, looking Xie Fuyao up and down, as if he was sure of something.

"You just said that you and His Royal Highness the King of Chu spent the same night in the same room. ”
