"But the master of the family did not grow up in the old capital. Since the destruction of King Xifeng, the master of the family has never returned..."

"Enough! I've already said that the master of the family must have his own plans for doing this. What's the point of you and me guessing here?" The scarred man growled.

Baili Yao couldn't help but feel a little terrified when she heard this. How come... they themselves didn't know where they were going? It seemed that this trip was likely to be very dangerous. That cold and arrogant woman probably didn't want to die in vain...

It’s just that the royal family ordered to find her...Suye...

The carriage traveled for a day and a half, and the few people found an inn. The inn was not big and there were few people.

Baili Yao was wearing a veil when she went in. There were only two men inside drinking tea, wearing coarse cloth clothes. When they saw Baili Yao and others coming in, they seemed to be looking at them. Only after the scarred man glanced at them did they look away.

There is only one waiter in the store right now.

"Hey, gentlemen."

"Two upper rooms."

"I'm so tired, please go upstairs."

Baili Yao and the cold woman were arranged to stay in a room. The scarred man and his brothers took turns to rest. They did not eat the food in the inn, and did not even drink the water. So when they were on duty, someone would go to the nearby farmers to buy some food. They were very cautious.

"Mr. Bai, this place is remote and the environment is not good. Please bear with us." The cold woman served Baili Yao some porridge. Her throat was actually much better. The cold woman didn't seem to know the properties of the medicine, so Baili Yao pretended that she couldn't speak yet and just nodded.

After staying there for several days, he didn't set out again.

At night, Baili Yao was very sleepy. She left room for the cold woman, but she did not go to bed to rest. She just sat down in front of the bed and fell asleep.

Tap, tap, tap~ Baili Yao opened her eyes instantly. When she sat up, the colder woman had also gotten up. She leaned against the wall. A figure flashed outside the window. With the help of the moonlight, she could hardly recognize the people in the room.

The cold woman motioned Baili Yao not to speak, and Baili Yao had no choice but to nod.

"Hmm..." A muffled groan came from outside. It was the scarred man. Although the cold woman was anxious, she wanted to protect Baili Yao. The sword in her hand was pulled out a little. Suddenly, the sound of fierce fighting was heard outside.

Baili Yao didn't know any martial arts. The sounds of fighting outside were getting more and more intense. The sound of swords clashing made her sweat. She saw the cold woman wanting to go out to help several times. It seemed that they were not having the upper hand.

"Sister, take Mr. Bai away first!" Suddenly the door was pushed open. The man with the scar covered his chest with one hand and waved his big knife with the other hand to catch the sword of the person rushing over and pushed the man out.

"Yes!" The cold woman pulled Baili Yao up, opened the window and went out.

Damn... After all, they were running for their lives. Baili Yao was dragged by him and her body was hit several times. The pain made her break out in cold sweat. She took Baili Yao to a horse, found the right direction and ran forward.

It hurts so much... Baili Yao's forehead was covered with sweat due to the pain. After a long time, the man with the scar caught up with her on another horse. There was no one behind him. Baili Yao clearly felt the cold woman's body stunned for a moment.

Baili Yao was taken to a farmer's home.

"Brother Nan..." The cold woman got off her horse and ran to the man with the scar.

The bloody smell from Scar's body came over. Baili Yao sniffed it and found that there was a rotten smell in the bloody smell. It was very stinky. "It's poisoning."

Baili Yao said in a hoarse voice.

The scarred man looked up at him, said nothing, and used a dagger to cut off a piece of flesh from his arm. The cold woman wiped her tears.

At this time, the farmer woke up and poked his head out from the door, opening it a little.

They had stayed in the inn for a few days and this family was quite familiar with the scarred man. They let them in without caring whether it was a disaster or not.

There was only one empty room in the farmer's house, and with only three of them left, naturally they couldn't be picky.

"Brother Nan..." The cold woman looked at him worriedly.

The scarred man sighed. "The brothers told us where they are... It's the Shen family."

"The Shen family?!" The cold-hearted woman said in surprise, "But, we haven't had much contact with the Shen family since that incident. Why would they... hunt us down?" After saying that, the cold-hearted woman immediately turned to look at Baili Yao. She shook her head, "I haven't heard that the Shen family and Mr. Bai have any grudges..."

The scarred man obviously couldn't figure it out. "The Shen family has a very sensitive nose, and they always kill people without reason... I can only admit defeat and go first... cough cough cough cough..." Before he could finish his words, the scarred man spat out a mouthful of black blood, which burned the soil on the ground and even bubbled.

"Bai... Mr. Bai... please save my brother..." The cold woman knelt on the ground with a plop.

Baili Yao was shocked. She said it was poisoning, but she actually wanted to save people.

"Mr. Bai, these are all your things." The cold woman handed the package on her back to Baili Yao.

When Baili Yao opened it, she found that all of them were the things she had placed on the bedside, silver needles, and many of the more expensive life-saving pills she had made. Because Su Ye had the habit of climbing into the bed, she had kept them for him. The rest was a wooden plaque engraved with Shen Muhuai's name, but fortunately it was buckled. Baili Yao looked at the things and put them away unnoticeably.

How come she doesn’t know that the word Shen is engraved on it…

"Take this first. This medicine can cure the poison you have been poisoned with. Take three pills. I think you will be unconscious for a few days. Also, you..." She really didn't know the name of that cold woman...

"I am a quiet person." said the cold woman.

"Well, go get some medicine. I'll talk and you write." There was a brush on the table, and Baili Yao walked over to show the scarred man his wound.

Qingyou hesitated for a moment, "Mr. Bai, please forgive me, I can't read a few words..."

Hmm... Haha? Can't read? Baili Yao felt relieved, but her calligraphy...

Baili Yao had no choice but to write down the names of some medicinal herbs in a crooked manner, hoping that Qingyou could understand them. To be on the safe side, she also told Qingyou which medicinal herbs she needed. Qingyou had a good memory and could probably remember them all. This place was not far from the town, so Qingyou didn't delay any longer and went out immediately.

"Thank you, Mr. Bai." said the man with the scar.

Baili Yao took great pains to get him onto the bed. "You're welcome," she said, using the light of an oil lamp to clean his wound. Fortunately, all the medicine she brought with her was effective and the bleeding stopped. The scarred man's expression finally eased a little.

"The journey is dangerous. Brother, are you still going to report to your master?"

The scarred man pursed his lips and spoke after a long while, "We are all loyal to the prince, so naturally we have to report back."

So loyal. Baili Yao took the dagger from him and asked, "Do you have the incense in your hand?"

"Yes, there is more." The scarred man spoke with difficulty.

"Give it to me, or you will be in great pain if I have to dig out the rotten flesh while you are awake."
