After the commotion at the lookout tower, Lan Rufeng naturally took Lan Yi and ran away first. On the way back to the room, he was bumped by a eunuch who had his head half pulled up. His right hand was suddenly pulled and he felt something stuffed into it. He was stunned and listened to the eunuch apologizing repeatedly. He turned around and glanced at the leaving eunuch.

"Is it okay?" Lan Yi asked when he saw Lan Rufeng being bumped by the eunuch.

Lan Rufeng shook her head and went back to her room with Lan Yi. When they came back, Lan Rufeng said in a panic that she wanted to meditate and asked Lan Yi to go back to her room. She would call her when it was time for dinner. She closed the door and sat down at the table. She spread out her hands and looked at the note in her hand. When she opened it, a hint of surprise and coldness flashed in her eyes, and she decisively burned the note with fire.

How many people in the capital are investigating her? How many people want to kill her? Madam Liang is from the Li Mansion, and she suspects her. Naturally, people from both mansions are investigating her, not to mention Feng Xiangyu and Mu Liangfeng.

Mu Rongchen certainly didn't find any evidence, but he also suspected her. The old man said that when he took Luo Xiaoyu to live in seclusion in Baili, Luo Xiaoyu was only ten years old. Due to congenital disease and heart failure, she had been hiding in the valley and never left the house.

Luo Xiaoyu died four years ago. The old man was so sad about losing his daughter that he couldn't bear to bury her, so he froze her in the valley. The original owner's appearance three years ago broke his reluctance, and he finally buried her.

Mu Rongchen had never seen Luo Xiaoyu, but he suspected Luo Xiaoyu. He must have found something. His thinking was beyond the reach of ordinary people. She was holding Luo Xiaoyu's face, but he couldn't find any evidence. If he found it, he would definitely skin her alive.

Mu Rongchen taught Qingwu a lesson before returning with everyone else. When he passed by Lan Rufeng's door, he paused for a moment before returning to his room with everyone else.

Chen Siyao was afraid of being scolded by her elder brother, so she pulled Feng Qingwu to her room. Chen Luo saw what her sister was thinking, and followed Feng Qingge into the room. As soon as she came in, Feng Qingge blamed her sister for making trouble.

"Brother, look at how powerful Brother Lan is. Even Ouyang Mingyu has a crush on him. I don't want him to marry another woman." Feng Qingwu refused. She didn't want Lan Rufeng to fall in love with another woman.

"If he was interested in you, would he let you jump down from there?" Feng Qingge was annoyed. It was obvious that Lan Rufeng didn't like her sister and he tried to avoid her. But her sister still wanted to pester him, which would only make her father and Liang Feng more dissatisfied with him.

Chen Luo looked at his sister who was shrinking her head, raised his hand and tapped her head and said: "Yao'er, could it be that Master Lan jumped down from such a high place carrying Lan Yi just to avoid you guys?"

"Brother Lan said that Princess Ruyu is as beautiful as a flower and it would be nice to marry her home. Do you really not like Yao'er and Miss Feng?" Chen Siyao couldn't suppress her disappointment. This was tantamount to admitting that Lan Rufeng's behavior was just to avoid them.

Feng Qingge and Chen Luo looked at the two girls' lost looks and could only sigh in their hearts.

"Qingwu, you can't make things difficult for Master Lan. This will only add to his burden." Feng Qingge hoped that her sister would listen to her and not let her father and Liangfeng cause trouble for Lan Rufeng because of her.

"I understand, brother, but I just can't control my love for Brother Lan. What do you want me to do?" Feng Qingwu looked at her brother with tears in her eyes.

She also knew that her father and cousin wanted to harm Lan Rufeng because of her, but she fell in love with Lan Rufeng at first sight and wished she could see him all the time.

"Master Lan even rejected the princess. You two girls, don't make things difficult for yourselves. If that guy really likes you, he wouldn't avoid you." Chen Luo tried to persuade the two girls earnestly not to be wishful thinking, as it would only make them sadder in the end.

"You guys go away! I want to be alone for a while." Feng Qingwu was about to cry, and she didn't want anyone to see her tears and laugh at her.

Chen Luo stood up and took his sister away. Feng Qingge also went out and closed the door for her sister, leaving her to feel wronged.

Feng Qingwu lay on the table and started crying. She had lacked fatherly love since she was a child. From childhood to adulthood, only her eldest brother and second brother, grandmother and uncle loved her. She finally met a man she liked, but he didn't like her, which made her feel even more uncomfortable.

The continuous spring rain could not slow down the pace of the competition. Damuzhen and Bai Chuchao actually proposed a hunting group. Each of them was only allowed to bring one person with them. They would go into the mountains to hunt. Whoever caught the strongest and largest prey and came back first would win.

Lan Rufeng felt sad. Seeing that Ouyang Mingtai agreed, Mu Rongchen had no choice but to agree as well. She could only agree as well, but she would not bring anyone with her. She would go alone, otherwise it would appear that she was timid and cowardly. Several people took bows and arrows and rode into the hunting ground.

Lan Yi watched Lan Rufeng and the others go in, and couldn't help but feel worried. His eyes passed over Feng Xiangyu and Mu Liangfeng vaguely, and then he withdrew his gaze indifferently.

"I will make sure you never come back." Mu Liangfeng looked at the people who entered the hunting ground, feeling secretly annoyed. He looked at his cousin, and seeing that her eyes were still on Lan Rufeng, his hatred grew even stronger.

If they wanted to kill a ferocious beast, they naturally had to go deep into the mountains. As soon as Bai Chuchao and Damuzhen entered the mountain, they chose the left mountain road and separated from Mu Rongchen and the others and walked alone.

Ouyang Mingtai also took Yang Shuo to the right side of the mountain road. Mu Rongchen looked at Lan Rufeng and saw her smiling as she held out her hand to him, asking him to please go. He also took Yang Feng and rode towards the middle mountain road.

Lan Rufeng stood there while riding his horse, watching Mu Rongchen and the others disappear into thin air. He took off the flute from his waist and picked it up before riding his horse in the direction Ouyang Mingtai left.

In the deep forest, dark shadows were floating and murderous intent was everywhere. Ouyang Mingtai and Yang Shuo, who were unaware of the situation, ran wildly in the forest all the way into the deep mountains. A trip rope suddenly bounced up from the ground, tripping the horses of Ouyang Mingtai and Yang Shuo and knocking them to the ground. The horses' neighing sounded.

"Your Highness, be careful..." Yang Shuo shouted and rolled on the ground to run towards his master. Several iron claws attacked the master and servant from all directions, blocking his way. He could only save himself first.

Ouyang Mingtai shouted "Be careful" and lifted his body up to avoid the iron claws. A large net fell from the sky above his head, scaring him so much that he flew towards the tree trunk on the right. He saw Yang Shuo fall into the net, and an iron chain came out, entangled him and pulled him up the tree.

"Your Highness, don't worry about me..." Yang Shuo was trapped and struggled hard, trying to use the dagger on his leg to break the net, but the iron chains bound his body and he could not move at all. He watched helplessly as more than twenty masked men in black rushed out of the forest, holding swords and attacking his master.

Ouyang Mingtai didn't have time to think about it, nor did he have time to think about saving Yang Shuo. He drew the soft sword at his waist to deal with the masked man in black.

Lan Rufeng was also attacked when she caught up. There were arrows, hidden stakes on the ground, big nets, and iron hooks all over the ground, attacking her from all directions, determined to kill her. After a thrilling experience, she barely escaped from the numerous traps, and her arms were covered with bruises.

With a shout of "kill", a group of masked men in black rushed out from all directions. The forest, which had already become gloomy due to the continuous drizzle, suddenly became even gloomier.

Lan Rufeng didn't have a sword. If he hadn't practiced in the mountains, he would have died here. He killed an assassin and got a sword. His body was like a nimble monkey, shuttling back and forth among the trees and fighting the assassin in the forest.
