After the agreement, the young man left with his men.

Looking at his back, Feng Qingluan felt upset.

There were a lot of people here, and it was their first time meeting, so it was not convenient for her to ask him too much. When they met the day after tomorrow, she would take out the jade pendant and confirm with him whether it was his.

This person gave her a feeling of being both familiar and strange. Feng Qingluan didn't know if he was the one and was secretly looking forward to meeting him the day after tomorrow.

After the person walked away, Feng Qingluan was still looking at him, with a thoughtful look on her face. Xue Zimo couldn't help but ask:

"Miss, do you know him?"

This man looked extraordinary, and he was accompanied by so many servants and guards, he did not look like an ordinary person.

Feng Qingluan suppressed her emotions and said, "It's hard to say for now, maybe he knows her. Now that Shui Mantuo is in our hands, let's go down the mountain."

Feng Qingluan walked forward, and Xue Zimo said:

"Miss, I have something to tell you."

Feng Qingluan turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xue Zimo looked at the surrounding trees and said seriously:

"Miss, you didn't see it just now because you had your back to us, but I saw it clearly. In fact, before the young man's arrow hit the crocodile, another arrow hit the crocodile before him. There was a third group of people besides our two groups near this deep pool."

When Feng Qingluan heard this, she also looked around.

Who can I see at this time? I wondered:

"You mean someone saved me?"

It has been so long since she entered the mountain, and apart from Xie Yan, who would come to help her?

Feng Qingluan thought about it for a while, but had no clue, so she said:

"Since they are helping us, it means they have no hostility. If they are not enemies, they are friends. Don't think about it. Let's go."

The two left the deep pool and came to the foot of Shuangfeng Mountain. Shang Yuwan and the guards had already left.

Qian Yuan's mission was to kill the python. When he went to pick up Shang Yuwan, he brought the python's head back to report to his superiors.

So all the guards and soldiers who were originally crowded together evacuated. The only ones who stayed here waiting for Feng Qingluan to come out were the people who had bet that Feng Qingluan could get the snake gall, as well as the surrounding villagers.

There are about ten people in total.

When these people saw Feng Qingluan come out safely, one of the middle-aged men greeted her happily:

"Ms. Feng, did you get the snake gall? Did you win the competition?"

Feng Qingluan raised her eyebrows, "Didn't Shang Yuwan say anything when she came out?"

The man said, "Oh, that princess has a bad temper. She had a sour face when she came out of the mountain. She didn't say anything when we asked her and just left with her people.

I see the strong man who went into the mountains with her hasn't come out yet, so something must have happened to him. She's so unhappy. If she got the snake gall, she would definitely show off to us."

Feng Qingluan smiled and said, "You are smart. The snake gall is with me. Shang Yuwan loses."

She placed the snake gall in a glass bottle, and in order to witness her victory, she took out the bottle for people to see.

When the middle-aged man saw the snake gall, he jumped up in joy and stretched out his hand to the people behind him and said:

"Look, look, Miss Feng won. Pay the money quickly. Five to one. I'm rich. Miss Feng, thank you."

The man happily took money from the person who lost the bet.

Feng Qingluan's mouth twitched. These people actually placed a bet?

She was risking her life inside, while these people were gambling outside.

Feng Qingluan shook her head helplessly and got on the carriage.

Xue Zimo drove the horse and the two returned to the marquis' mansion.

Prince Rong's Mansion.

An Ye and An Feng reported to Xie Jin everything that Feng Qingluan encountered in the forest.

When Xie Jin heard that Xie Yan had rescued Feng Qingluan from the Black Organization in the mountains, his face turned gloomy.

Jiang Qu looked at his master's dark face and could not help but curse:

"Has the King of Chu changed his character? He didn't care about Miss Feng before, but now he is risking his life to secretly follow her into the mountains to protect her. He was even assassinated for being single. Is he crazy? Your Majesty, in my opinion, there is something wrong with the King of Chu towards Miss Feng. Is he trying to win back Miss Feng's heart?"

Jiang Qu felt that his guess was correct.

The prince looked unhappy when he heard this. Does this mean that he also realized this?

If he didn't realize it, as a caring and loyal subordinate, he should remind the prince.

Remind his prince that someone is pursuing Miss Feng.

And he is Miss Feng’s ex-husband, so the prince may have a rival in love.

Xie Jin was so angry at his words that he snorted:

"What's the point of trying to win him back? If that woman changes her mind about Xie Yan, she won't accept him."

The woman said she would be responsible for herself, so he could rest assured.

Xie Yan posed no threat to him.

An Ye looked at Prince Rong's expression and said:

“Your Majesty, when we were in the crocodile pond, Miss Feng was nearly bitten by a crocodile. Although I rescued her in time, another young man wearing a mask appeared and also shot an arrow to help Miss Feng fend off the crocodile.

The young man was very alert, so I didn't dare get too close to him. But I saw Miss Feng thanking him, and they talked for a long time. Miss Feng seemed to be very interested in the young man, and she was very different from when she spoke to him.

Dark Night dared not conceal anything when stating the facts he had seen.

Jiang Qu's heart began to beat fast, and he glanced at Xie Jin's face cautiously.

Well, Miss Feng ignored the King of Chu, but a young man suddenly showed up and Miss Feng was very interested in him. The prince must be anxious now.

Just as Jiang Qu was thinking this, he heard Xie Jin speak in a frighteningly cold voice:

"Have you checked the identity of that person?"

Dark Night and Dark Wind looked at each other and replied in unison:

"Your Highness, no, the other party is very skilled in martial arts, and the guards following him are also very sharp. I did not follow him, and the arrow I shot in a hurry was noticed by that person.

The other party went down the mountain first. When I escorted Miss Feng away from Shuangfeng Mountain, the group of people had disappeared. I came back to report the situation to the prince. "

Xie Jin said coldly: "Go and find out his identity. The king will know it tomorrow."

Dark Night said: "Yes, Your Majesty."

After Dark Night and Dark Wind disappeared, Xie Jin said:

"How is the progress of the case about the red mortar monkey that I asked you to investigate?"

Jiang Qu said: "In the three years since the red-branched monkey was stolen, we have discovered eleven strange incidents related to it or suspected to have happened to it, both large and small."

Jiang Qu guessed his master's thoughts and said:

"Your Majesty, we should be able to see some patterns from this number. Would you like me to ask Miss Feng to come over and discuss this immediately? She should be eager to know the connection between these cases as soon as possible."

Xie Jin glanced at Jiang Qu and was very satisfied with his proposal.

"Since you said so, send someone to get her here."

Jiang Qu pouted his lips to suppress his laughter and replied:

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will go right away."

The prince is really stubborn.

He must have been eager to meet Miss Feng as soon as possible, and he even said proudly that it was he who proposed it.

Jiang Qu sighed inwardly, wondering when the prince would give the third jade mask to Miss Feng.

If she is not sent out, Miss Feng might be snatched away by the other young man wearing a mask who saved her life.
