After the death of the host: the tyrant cried red eyes

He gently draped his outer robe over Shen Bingning's shoulders, and a hint of imperceptible tenderness flashed in his eyes.

Then, he came to the cave entrance and gave an order to the silent night sky: "Send the assassin's head back to his master. At the same time, report the news that I was attacked and disappeared back to Yongcheng."

After he finished speaking, there seemed to be a slight fluctuation in the air in response, and then everything returned to its original calm.

When the first ray of morning light penetrated the treetops, Shen Bingning slowly opened her eyes to the sound of birds singing.

She instinctively looked for Xiao Yi's figure, only to see him lying on his side with his back to her on the hard stone bed, looking a little lonely.

She looked carefully and noticed the slight rise and fall of Xiao Yi's chest, and an inexplicable sense of relief surged in her heart.

As long as he is alive, everything is fine!

But when Shen Bingning got closer, she found that Xiao Yi had his eyes closed and his cheeks were stained with an abnormal blush.

She hurriedly reached out and touched his forehead. The burning temperature was like a branding iron, which instantly made her heart jump.

"I have a fever! Xiao Yi, wake up!"

She patted his shoulder anxiously, but got no response.

Helpless, Shen Bingning used all her strength to half-support and half-pull Xiao Yi up, and moved him out with difficulty.

In this desolate and remote place, even the strongest people would be tortured by high fever and become unconscious if not treated in time, so finding a doctor became a top priority.

After going through untold hardships, Shen Bingning finally dragged Xiao Yi out of the dark cave.

She stood at the entrance of the cave, glanced around blankly, chose a direction at random, and staggered forward with all her strength.

However, not long after, she was almost on the verge of collapse due to overdrawn physical strength. At this moment, Xiao Yi woke up slowly and said something that made Shen Bingning angry and amused: "Wrong direction."

Shen Bingning gasped, with a hint of helplessness in her voice: "When did you wake up?"

“When we left the cave.”

There was no trace of apology in Xiao Yi's tone, but instead there was a subtle smile.

The heat of his breath gently brushed across Shen Bingning's sensitive neck, arousing the anger in her heart.

Shen Bingning was completely enraged. She threw Xiao Yi to the ground, put her hands on her hips, and stared down at him, her teeth almost breaking: "Why didn't you say so earlier!"

She had to drag him along a detour with great difficulty.

Xiao Yi frowned because of the pain caused by the movement, and there was a rare hint of weakness in his voice: "The king just realized it too."

His expression was so calm, as if the person who was being supported and walking forward with difficulty was not him.

Shen Bingning looked up at the sky, took a deep breath, trying to calm the restlessness in her heart, then turned around and walked firmly in the right direction, temporarily forgetting about Xiao Yi on the ground.

Thinking back to Xiao Yi's previous bad attitude and the connection between her falling off the cliff and him, she felt that she had done her best to take care of him last night. Now she had to find a way out on her own. As for Xiao Yi's safety, she no longer had time to care about him.

After two hours of trekking, Shen Bingning finally saw a clearly visible country path in front of her, which was a symbol of hope.

Where there is a road, there is a way to make a living. If you follow this path, you will definitely find people.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked back at the lush valley that once hid them. She felt mixed emotions, relief at escaping danger but also apprehension about the unknown road ahead.

But she still strengthened her determination and continued along the trail.

However, after only a hundred steps, annoyance appeared on her face again, and she murmured to herself: "Xiao Yi, you are such a domineering monarch, how could I be so unlucky to meet you! Oh!"

At this moment, her steps were much lighter than before. Within an hour, she had returned to the place where she and Xiao Yi had parted. However, there was no one there and Xiao Yi was nowhere to be seen. This made her feel nervous. Could it be that he really had encountered an accident?

There were no other clues around except the traces left on the grass where Xiao Yi had once lain.

Feeling uneasy, Shen Bingning approached the hidden cave step by step.

Inside the cave, Xiao Yi had just taken the last sip of the bitter medicine and was about to speak when he heard a noise outside. His eyes fixed on An Feng who was kneeling on the ground, and he said in an unquestionable tone: "From now on, let An Yu follow her."

"Yes."

Before he finished his words, An Feng disappeared into the jungle like a shadow.

Shen Bingning noticed that the branches hanging down from the cave entrance were gently pushed aside. She was delighted and quickened her pace as she walked into the cave. That was the camouflage she had left to cover the cave entrance.

The scene in the cave instantly dispelled her worries, and was replaced by complicated thoughts - Xiao Yi's safety and his instructions to the secret guards seemed to hint at something...

In the deep cave, the dim firelight flickered, stretching the shadows on the stone wall. Xiao Yi half leaned on a seemingly simple but extremely comfortable stone bed. His face looked particularly lazy in the interweaving of light and shadow, and his eyebrows revealed a kind of leisure and indifference that did not care about worldly affairs.

Noticing her coming back, Xiao Yi's lips curled up into a faint smile, and he spoke in a low and calm voice, as leisurely as a stream in the mountains: "Didn't my beloved concubine leave? Why did you come back again?"

There was no blame in his words, but more of a sense of inquiry.

A trace of barely perceptible panic inexplicably passed through Shen Bingning's heart, but she then forced herself to remain calm, and the purpose of this trip quickly flashed through her mind.

She straightened her back, and said with an unquestionable firmness in her tone: "I found a way out, and I'm here to take you away from here."

Her eyes flickered, trying to hide the complex emotions surging in her heart.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi's body shook slightly, and then he jumped up from the stone bed with quick movements. It was obvious that his physical condition was much better than expected.

He straightened his clothes, and a faint scent of medicine filled the air.

"I thought my beloved concubine would leave alone, without caring about the troubles of the world."

There was an elusive meaning in his words.

Shen Bingning was about to speak when she was suddenly attracted by the faint scent of medicine wafting in the air, and her brows couldn't help but frown.

"What is this scent? Why does it smell so much like medicine?"

She asked involuntarily. After all, the bitter herbs she was forced to drink over the years made her senses extremely sensitive to the taste of medicine.

After hearing this, Xiao Yi just smiled lightly, brushed the dust off his sleeves, and walked out of the cave.

"No need to say more, let's go."

Although his tone was calm, the certainty contained in it could not be ignored.

Seeing this, Shen Bingning became even more confused, but she had no choice but to follow him half-believingly.

Although Xiao Yi was seriously injured and had a high fever, he walked so fast that even Shen Bingning, who was unharmed, felt a little strenuous.

"This physique is incredible. It is amazing that he can still maintain such a speed under such circumstances."
