The night was dark. Most of the people in the village were frugal and not many families lit lights. The thick black fog tonight covered the moonlight tightly, and no light could penetrate. Everything was dark and depressing.

He Yue's guess was still conservative. Ning Rushong knew that she was in Mo Village as early as noon. There were soldiers investigating her openly and secret guards searching for her secretly. It just so happened that a strange pair of siblings stayed in Mo Village in the past two days.

Ning Rushong personally led a team of people and galloped towards Mo Village. Dark thoughts surged in his heart. She had been gone for nearly four days, and he was about to catch her. Then he would call off the troops and return home with the prey that was destined to never escape.

She has been hiding for four days, which shows that she is quite capable.

A solemn and cold atmosphere permeated the air. Guard Zhang sat on his horse, looking at the village not far away, sighing with helplessness and prayer in his heart, "I hope, Crown Princess, you didn't mean to run away, otherwise it would be difficult to resolve!"

He Yue was packing her bags in a hurry. She sat on the edge of the bed, feeling anxious and anxious, and her hands were shaking as she folded clothes.

A wooden hairpin was not holding her hair firmly in place, and a strand of hair fell down. She raised her arm, hooked her hair with her fingers and pushed it behind her ear.

She casually looked in the direction of the open stained glass window, and then her head buzzed, and her mind seemed to be disconnected for a moment. The clothes in her other hand fell to the ground, covered with dust.

Xiaohu was picking up other things on the side. When he heard He Yue's movement, he was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at her. She looked terrified and her pretty face had lost some of its color.

What happened? Xiaohu followed her gaze and looked out the window. He stood up with a bang, knocking over the chair he was sitting on.

There were dense flames outside, approaching inch by inch. He spoke with difficulty, as if a blade was cutting his throat, "Madam, are we still going?"

Can we still leave?

He Yue half-closed her eyes and covered her chest with her hands. Her heart was beating very fast. She was frightened and confused, almost making her dizzy.

It happened too fast, in just less than four days, it was like a sudden dream, it was all just an illusion, floating in the air.

I can't run away anymore. If I run away now, I will be caught and it will be irreversible. She gritted her teeth and said, "Put everything back where it belongs and turn off the lights."

Xiao Hu stroked the package in his hand. He looked at He Yue's weak face and said word by word, "Okay...Okay."

He Yue supported herself on the bed and stood up. She took out all the banknotes from her sleeves and stuffed them into Xiaohu's hands. She looked at his uneasy expression and said, "Take this money and live a rich life in the future. When they come in later, don't say anything. Speak later based on the situation."

Xiao Hu lowered his head, knowing that they were going to part ways. His wife was leaving. He looked at the thick banknotes in his hand, his voice was bitter, but he could only agree, "Okay."

He stiffly turned off the oil lamp in the dormitory, then left the dormitory, lowered the curtain, and lay down in the aisle which was covered with a quilt.

Xiaohu heard the lady in the bedroom say softly, "Wait for him."

Who is he? Is he the one who sent so many officers and soldiers to look for my wife? Is he my wife’s husband?

With a bitter taste in his heart, Xiaohu hunched over slightly, with the silver bills tucked against his chest, feeling like they were sticking out of his flesh. Xiaohu wondered how could someone be so greedy. He escaped from the den of thieves and got enough silver to live a wealthy life for several lifetimes. Isn't that enough?

Apparently, someone outside had noticed the soldiers holding torches, and everyone became panic-stricken.

The old woman stood up, put on her coat, put on her cloth shoes, opened the window, and said in fear, "What's going on? Why are there soldiers? Are they here to catch thieves?"

She looked at it for a while and found something wrong. The group of soldiers were clearly heading towards the brother and sister.

Oh my God, could it be that the brother and sister committed some heinous crime?

…………

"boom!"

The door of the dilapidated house could only be closed with difficulty and was not very sturdy. It was pushed hard by an external force and half of it was almost cracked.

There were several circles of soldiers surrounding the dilapidated house, and the brightness of their torches gathered together, making the orange light very eye-catching.

Guard Zhang's voice was heavy but loud, "Crown Princess, are you in there?"

Xiao Hu was shocked. What did the people outside say? Crown Princess!

Xiaohu got up hurriedly and opened the door. He looked at the soldiers outside, and his gaze involuntarily stopped on the man in the lead who was wearing a dark cloak.

The man had a broad and tall figure, and a cool and handsome face, but his eyes were cold and cruel, which made people terrified.

Xiaohu only took a quick glance at him and quickly lowered his head, pursing his lips with lingering fear. He was really a man who was too frightening.

He remembered clearly what He Yue said and sat in the corner without saying a word. He vaguely felt a sharp gaze falling on him, giving him the painful illusion of his skin and flesh being scraped off.

There was a faint light from behind the curtain. It must be a lamp. He Yue's surprised voice came out, and she was choking with sobs, "I'm here."

The curtain was opened, and He Yue came out wearing a light blue robe, with her hair loose, and a look of grievance on her beautiful face. "Your Highness, why did you come so late?"

"Oh." Ning Rusong lifted her cold eyelids, and her deep eyes looked straight at He Yue's face, as if she could see through her beautiful and gorgeous appearance and explore her heart.

"Have you been waiting for me?" Ning Rushong's voice was clear and his tone was calm, but it made everyone present tremble with fear.

He Yue walked hurriedly, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that her left foot was injured. She threw herself into Ning Rusong's cool embrace, holding his waist with both hands, sobbing and crying, "I've been waiting."

She pressed harder with her hands, buried her face in his chest, and cried non-stop, as if she had suffered a great injustice. She cried so hard that she couldn't even speak clearly, and her shoulders kept shaking slightly, "Your Highness, Your Highness... Your Highness!"

Your Highness! The little tiger, who was curled up in the corner, felt his legs go limp and he collapsed to the ground. He found that the guard Zhang who had called out earlier was right next to him. The unsheathed sword in the guard Zhang's hand was right in front of him. He was so scared that he covered his mouth and broke out in a cold sweat.

Ning Rushong threw the cheap outer robe He Yue was wearing on the ground, then took off his cloak and wrapped her up. He then held her in his arms with one hand and soothed her trembling back with the other hand. His eyes were dark and unreadable, "Did you hurt your leg?"

He Yue sat in Ning Rushong's arms, hugged Ning Rushong's neck, nodded, and still cried. Her tears fell on the skin of Ning Rushong's neck, leaving water marks. Her cheeks were flushed red, and she looked pitiful and timid.

"Why don't you wait for me at Yishan Mountain? Why did you run to this strange village?" Ning Rusong's hand was still patting gently, "Fortunately, you haven't left the city yet, otherwise I would have a hard time finding my Crown Princess."
