Yu Cheng led the main force to the valley quickly and rescued Da Xixian in time. The nearby bandits were also quickly wiped out.

"How could you let His Highness take the risk?" Upon learning that Prince Zong was going to be the bait, Da Xixian was so angry that he grabbed Yu Cheng's collar and said angrily.

"You think I don't want to stop him? But can I? You and I know His Highness's personality best!" Yu Cheng was only concerned about His Highness's safety at this moment. He pushed Da Xixian away and turned to go out of the valley: "The most urgent thing is to find His Highness as soon as possible."

"Yu Cheng, if anything happens to Your Highness, I, Da Xixian, will be the first one to not let you go!" Da Xixian cursed angrily and chased after him.

In a dark and cold cave under the cliff, Yan Zong slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw was a man approaching him with a dagger in his hand.

With a "clang", the dagger fell to the ground. At the same time, Yan Zong pressed the other person down and strangled his neck with his right hand.

"You..." The man on the ground struggled to speak.

"You think you can kill me?" Yan Zong had murderous intent on his face, looking scary.

"If I were to kill you... would I still save you?"

"How do you want to explain the dagger?" Yan Zong asked coldly without relaxing the strength of his right hand.

"You have an arrow in your left arm... I was just trying to help you remove the arrowhead..."

"Who are you? Why did you save me?" Seeing the other party's voice gradually becoming hoarse, Yan Zong loosened his grip slightly, but still remained vigilant.

"Ahem...Si Yao, you once saved my life ahem...do you remember?"

"It's you, how come you are here?" Yan Zong stared at the face below him in surprise. In the dim light, he realized that the face looked familiar. However, the fact that she was a weak woman appearing alone in this desolate mountain and snowy ridge and saving him made him feel even more suspicious, even though he had saved her before.

"This...this..." When Yu Cheng and Da Xixian rushed to the trail, they saw a tragic scene with corpses everywhere and blood everywhere.

"Your Highness! Your Highness!" Yu Cheng rushed to the pile of corpses crying, and began to dig out each corpse with trembling hands.

"What are you standing there for? Go find His Highness!" Da Xixian was anxious and sad at this moment, stamping his feet and shouting.

The soldiers behind him immediately rushed forward and searched carefully over a wider area.

"So, you were hunting nearby, and followed me because you saw Arnold? But you got lost and saved me by accident, what a coincidence?" After listening to Si Yao's explanation, Yan Zong was skeptical but he let go of her hand, stood up and sat against the wall of the cave. After he relaxed, he realized that he was seriously injured.

"Whether you believe it or not is up to you. There is no need for me to lie." Si Yao's shoulder was injured and there was a scar on her neck after being pushed so hard by Yan Zong.

"Did you bandage my wounds?" Yan Zong found that all the knife wounds on my body except for my arms were tightly bandaged. He felt relieved and glanced at the bow and arrow on the ground and asked, "Did you also shoot those three hidden arrows?"

"Well, I brought some medicine for cleaning and stopping bleeding with me when I went hunting in the mountains, so I treated your wound, but I didn't have time to treat the arrow wound on your arm." Si Yao picked up the dagger on the ground and stood up with difficulty.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. I'm just repaying you for saving my life."

"I saved someone, no reward is required."

"Whether it is returned or not depends on the person who was rescued."

"............" This was the first time he encountered someone who dared to argue with him. The weak and exhausted Yan Zong no longer had the energy to argue. He just looked around with a gloomy face and continued to ask: "Where is this?"

"I accidentally discovered a cave when I was lost. It's near that trail. After you fainted, I was worried that bandits would come again, so I brought you here."

"How long have I been in a coma?"

"It should take half an hour."

"Besides this king, is there anyone else who survived?"

"Nothing." Thinking back to the bloody and tragic battlefield, Si Yao's stomach seemed to churn again.

Yan Zong sat cross-legged on the ground with his head down, not moving at all. Although she couldn't see his expression clearly, she could feel his grief at the moment. She didn't know how to comfort him, so she just silently took off her water bottle and handed it to him.

Yan Zong shook his head and did not take it. Instead, he suddenly drew the dagger from his waist and neatly cut off the arrow shaft stuck in his arm. He slowly stood up and said, "Help me go back."

Although Si Yao was confused, she did not ask. She walked forward and helped him walk out of the cave with a limp.

"Boss, there is a cave ahead. Let's go in and take a rest first."

Before the two reached the cave entrance, they heard someone approaching outside. Yan Zong reacted quickly and pulled Si Yao behind the rock at the entrance.

Not long after, two men, one fat and one thin, came into the cave. Perhaps because they had been walking for too long, both of them were out of breath.

"Shi Zhong, we have to find the third brother as soon as possible. Most of the brothers in the village are following him. Only if we find them..."

"Boss, I don't mean to sound discouraging at this moment, but with the ability of the Third Boss, he definitely can't deal with that clan leader."

"The third brother is very familiar with the terrain in this area. If he uses the guerrilla tactics I taught him, he has a great chance of winning..."

"Opportunities of winning? Humph, what a pity, the boss miscalculated."

"Who is it?" A sneer scared the two of them.

"The third prince of Xiyue Kingdom, Yan Zong." Yan Zong pushed away Si Yao who was originally supporting him, and walked out from behind the rock while forcing himself to endure the pain. He stood straight, with a majestic look on his face.

"Yan Zong, Prince Zong, are you Prince Zong?" The two people opposite were so frightened when they heard it that they took several steps back again.

"Boss Xue Mei, I have long heard of your great name. Unfortunately, I am very disappointed when I meet you today." Yan Zong still stood upright in the same place, looking contemptuously at the boss opposite him with disheveled hair who looked like a stray dog ​​and a frightened bird, and sneered again.

"I have also heard of your name, the brave and warlike archer Prince. Unfortunately, I am also disappointed... You were actually seriously injured..." The boss hid behind the fat middle-aged man, and while speaking, he slowly moved towards the cave entrance along the wall.

"Want to escape?" Yan Zong naturally saw the movements of the two men, but he didn't think that these two men could escape from under his nose.

"Shi Zhong, stop him!" The boss suddenly pushed the people around him towards Yan Zong, and he quickly ran out of the cave.

The obese middle-aged man was caught off guard and staggered towards Yan Zong, but his throat was instantly cut by the dagger in Yan Zong's hand.

Seeing the other one running out, Si Yao also ran out of the cave, but Yan Zong got there first, snatched the bow and arrow from her back and rushed out quickly, shooting the boss who had fled a hundred steps away with one arrow.

"Your wounds..." Si Yao, who had caught up with him, was amazed that this archer was indeed worthy of his reputation. She also saw that several bandaged wounds on his body began to bleed again. But before she could finish her words, Yan Zong's eyes rolled up and he fainted on the ground.

"Your Highness... Your Highness..."

Just when Si Yao was worrying about how to rescue him, he suddenly heard calls from afar. When he heard clearly that they were looking for Yan Zong, he was overjoyed. He once again tried his best to lift up the unconscious Yan Zong and moved towards the direction of the calls with difficulty.
