The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple

They came just in time. Chu Yunxi followed his hand and stood up. She took a long breath and smiled. "My Lord, you came just in time."

Xiao Mubei retracted his hand, and there seemed to be a hint of softness left in his hand. He calmly retracted his hand behind his back, and stood on the tree with Chu Yunxi, looking down.

With Hei Mu's help, Bai Yu's pressure was immediately relieved a lot. The two of them quickly took care of the remaining men in black and ran to the tree together.

Xiao Mubei hugged Chu Yunxi's slender waist and fell from the tree. He looked at the black-clothed people on the ground and asked, "Who are they?"

"Your Highness, judging from their weapons, they should still be King Jingyuan's men."

Bai Yu replied: "Just now I heard them say that they are here to kill the girl."

"Yes, I heard it too," Chu Yunxi put away the needle crossbow and sneered, "King Jingyuan really has set his sights on me. I guess he's afraid that I'll affect his plans, so he wants to get rid of me as soon as possible. Should I feel very honored?"

"Indeed, those targeted by my third brother never have a good ending."

Although Xiao Mubei was in a military camp at the border, he was not completely ignorant of the court. Prince Jingyuan was ruthless, and anyone who did not deal with him would soon disappear. This was almost an open secret in the court.

Chu Yunxi smiled nonchalantly and said, "Really? Then I'd like to see what will happen to me."

Seeing that she was not afraid at all, Xiao Mubei secretly praised her. He walked to one of the men in black who was knocked down by Chu Yunxi, squatted down and checked him. He was not dead?

Chu Yunxi followed and said, "They are just unconscious. They will wake up in two hours. Your Highness, please handle them accordingly."

Her needle was coated with a powerful anesthetic, which would take effect as soon as it came into contact with blood. Therefore, when Chu Yunxi fired, the aim was not very important, as long as she could hit the enemy.

This is a weapon she made herself. It can hold a hundred needles at a time and can fire continuously, making it very useful.

Today, Chu Yunxi once again refreshed the perception of herself in the minds of the other people. Xiao Mubei stood up and looked at her, wanting to ask something, but in the end he held back and just said softly: "In the future, don't leave me so far away."

Chu Yunxi's heart moved slightly. So, he always stayed close to her. Was he afraid that she would be in danger?

He originally didn't agree to let her sleep in the carriage tonight, but she insisted and said it was comfortable to sleep in the carriage, so he had to agree. However, he still sent Bai Yu to protect her, but he didn't expect something to happen.

Xiao Mubei said to Bai Yu: "Notify the local county government and tell them that we encountered bandits."

When King Dingbei visited Chunshan County in disguise, he unexpectedly encountered bandits. It was obvious that the public security in Chunshan County needed to be improved. The county magistrate was terrified and immediately brought people over. He carefully apologized to Xiao Mubei and took away the few survivors for severe torture.

"Chunshan County is not far from the capital, but now there are bandits running rampant. Moreover, these bandits are so bold that they even claim to be the men of King Jingyuan. They dare to throw dirty water on the current king. County Magistrate Ke, you must conduct a careful investigation. If you clear out the bandits in Chunshan County, I will definitely commend you in front of the emperor. If you still allow the bandits to run rampant, I'm afraid you will lose your official position."

County Magistrate Ke is a shrewd man, how could he not understand Xiao Mubei's intention?

This is a warning to him. These people are King Jingyuan's men. But if you dare to cover up for them, I, King Dingbei, will not be a pushover.

County Magistrate Ke responded with a sad face, as this forced him to stand on the opposite side of Prince Jingyuan. Originally, as a seventh-rank official, he had no chance of being involved in the fight for the prince's throne. He did not expect that man proposes, God disposes, and he suddenly became a member of Prince Dingbei's party.

After County Magistrate Ke left, Xiao Mubei didn't want to go back and insisted on squeezing into the carriage with Chu Yunxi.

Chu Yunxi knew that he was worried about leaving her alone in the carriage, so she had no choice but to agree.

Xiao Mubei sat on it, leaning against the carriage with his eyes closed. Chu Yunxi slept on the blanket again, but this time there was someone in the carriage, so she didn't fall asleep so quickly.

The carriage fell into silence, with only the sound of the two people's breathing remaining. The moon seemed to have gone back to sleep as well, and the sky and the earth were completely dark.

The two of them were in the darkness, silently opening their eyes and looking at each other, but no one could see each other, just a black shadow.

"Chu Yunxi, who are you?" In the darkness, Xiao Mubei whispered softly, as if talking to himself.

Chu Yunxi was shocked and didn't say anything for a long time. Xiao Mubei didn't ask any more questions and just waited silently.

A long time passed, so long that Xiao Mubei thought Chu Yunxi would not answer, but she suddenly whispered: "I am Chu Yunxi."

That’s right, she is Chu Yunxi, but she is the Chu Yunxi of the 22nd century, not the Chu Yunxi of this era.

Xiao Mubei was silent for a moment before he said, "Okay, I believe you, you are Chu Yunxi."

Chu Yunxi couldn't describe the feeling in her heart at the moment. Xiao Mubei must know that she was a fake, because there were many things that she couldn't explain clearly. If she were in his shoes, she might not believe herself.

But he believed her, and this trust was not verbal but action-based. He never asked about her many abnormal behaviors, and he never forced her to talk about things she didn't want to. He gave her enough respect, but he never told the truth.

How to say it? Saying that I traveled through time and space? That's even harder to believe.

Let's just leave it at that, help him to the best of my ability and repay his trust!

Chu Yunxi fell asleep at some point. In her dream, her mother made her sweet and sour pork ribs, osmanthus lotus root, and fermented rice dumpling soup, all of which were her favorite dishes.

She rubbed her head against her mother's arms and said coquettishly, "Mom is so nice. I also want to eat cola chicken wings."

Mom pulled out a plate of cola chicken wings from behind her like a magic trick. Chu Yunxi's eyes lit up and she was so happy that she immediately kissed her mom on the face, then took out a chicken wing and bit into it...

"Sigh~"

There was a gasp beside her. When Chu Yunxi opened her eyes, she saw a clear tooth mark on the hand she was holding Xiao Mubei's.

“Uh…” Chu Yunxi’s face turned red with embarrassment. She blew on the tooth mark quickly and then let go of her hand.

Xiao Mubei moved his wrist and said with a smile: "What delicious food did you dream about? I heard you say something about chicken wings?"

Coke chicken wings! Chu Yunxi corrected loudly in her heart. It was a pity that the ancient people didn’t know what Coke was. She looked outside and saw that it was getting brighter. She stood up and said, “I’m hungry. I’m going to Aunt Chen’s house to eat first.”

After saying that, she ran away as if escaping.

Xiao Mubei used his other hand to stroke the back of the hand that Chu Yunxi had just grabbed. Just now, Chu Yunxi pulled his hand and not only bit it, but also... kissed it.
