"We can't let this man go!" The leader suddenly shouted, "We must kill him with all our strength. We can't let him leave alive."

After hearing this, all the people who were lying on the ground just now stood up and surrounded Pei Zhijin and were about to attack.

Suddenly, two arrows flew towards the man who was swinging a knife at Pei Zhijin, and the two men died before they could even make a sound.

Then there was the sound of arrows shooting over, and in an instant, only the man in the lead was left among the dozen people who had just surrounded Pei Zhijin.

Wen Yu and Wen Chuan ran over quickly from a distance.

"Sir, are you hurt?" they both asked at the same time.

Pei Zhijin picked up Jiang Xue and said coldly, "Leave her alive." Then he strode away.

Not far away, a black figure quickly disappeared into the woods, leaving only a plum blossom-shaped hidden weapon where it had just been.

In the inn.

After the doctor examined Jiang Xue's wound, he left. Pei Zhijin asked worriedly, "How is she?"

The doctor bowed slightly and said, "Fortunately, no vital parts were injured. You just need to rest."

"Thank you."

"It's alright, sir. I will leave now."

"kindness."

After the doctor left, when Pei Zhijin was about to go in to see Jiang Xue, Wang Ziyan's anxious voice rang out downstairs, "Master Pei, Master Pei!"

Wang Ziyan was stopped by Wenchuan who was downstairs. "Young Marquis, our master is busy."

Wang Ziyan said anxiously: "I have something important to do, let me go up."

"Little Marquis!"

Wang Ziyan looked at Wenchuan's calm eyes and remembered the last time he was thrown upside down by Wenchuan. He didn't dare to go forward and shouted directly to the top: "Pei Zhijin, something big has happened, someone has died!"

Pei Zhijin frowned and looked downstairs, saying coldly, "Come up."

Wang Ziyan immediately pushed Wenchuan aside and ran upstairs, shouting as he ran: "There is indeed something wrong with the He family. Miss Yiyi was captured by He Zhizhou and taken to an unknown place. Go and save her."

Just as Wang Ziyan stood in front of Pei Zhijin, he heard the door behind him being pushed open with a creaking sound. Pei Zhijin and Wang Ziyan looked over at the same time.

Jiang Xue looked pale, covering her wounded body, and looked at Wang Ziyan in surprise, "What did you say?"

Wang Ziyan was slightly stunned, and then said: "Yiyi was captured by He Zhizhou."

The door was pushed open violently, and anger appeared on Jiang Xue's face. "This bastard." She said and walked out.

Pei Zhijin stopped in front of Jiang Xue and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Find that bastard." Jiang Xue said angrily.

"You are hurt."

"I know." Jiang Xue said nonchalantly, "This minor injury is not a big deal. Saving Yiyi is the most important thing now."

Wang Ziyan looked at Jiang Xue's pale face. Blood had already seeped out of her right shoulder on her white clothes. He kindly pointed at Jiang Xue's wound and said, "You...seem to be seriously injured?"

Jiang Xue looked at the place where she was injured, rolled her eyes at Wang Ziyan, and said, "You are a grown man, but you can't even protect the people around you. What's the use of you?"

Prince Banquet: "......."

"Get out of the way!" Jiang Xue pushed Pei Zhijin away and walked downstairs.

Judging from the look in He Zhizhou's eyes that day, it was probably related to his wife. And when she felt the woman's pulse, it seemed as if she had been kept alive by some precious medicinal ingredients. The reason why she couldn't wake up was because she was missing a medicinal ingredient.

Before, Jiang Xue couldn’t figure out what kind of medicine was missing. Now that she heard that Yiyi was captured by He Zhizhou, she thought of the appearance of the woman in red that night and guessed that it was her heart blood.

Pei Zhijin saw that Jiang Xue was determined to leave, so he quickly stepped forward to stop her and asked, "How are you going to find someone?"

"The dark room that night."

"How can we be sure?"

"It was difficult to move his wife, so He Zhizhou naturally put the person next to her."

After that, Pei Zhijin said to Wenchuan: "Take people to He Mansion."

"I'll go as well."

As soon as Jiang Xue finished speaking, Pei Zhijin grabbed Jiang Xue's arm and ordered, "Stay still."

"But......"

Pei Zhijin glanced over, and Jiang Xue immediately shut up and said, "Okay."

After Pei Zhijin and Wang Ziyan left quickly, Jiang Xue looked at the door with a worried look on her face, "I hope Yiyi is okay." When she was about to go upstairs, a voice rang out, "Miss Jiang!"

Jiang Xue paused, her pupils shrank suddenly, then she slowly turned around and looked at Mu Qi who was standing in front of her with a cold look on his face.

However, he fainted the next second before he could even open his mouth.

The rumbling sound of a horse-drawn carriage slowly passed by the entrance of the inn. The carriage was wrapped in silk on all sides, and the windows inlaid with gold and gems were covered by a curtain of light blue gauze, making it impossible to notice its splendor.

The carriage was spacious and filled with fragrance. Jiang Xue was lying on the table with her eyes closed. Opposite her, Li Lingxuan was leisurely pouring tea. He looked up at Jiang Xue, dipped his slender fingers in the tea, and flicked them towards Jiang Xue's forehead.

Jiang Xue frowned, slowly opened her eyes, moved slightly, and her already pale face wrinkled instantly, "Hiss..."

"Are you afraid of pain but still willing to risk your life to block the knife for others?" Li Lingxuan's low voice sounded.

Jiang Xue opened her eyes wide instantly and looked at Li Lingxuan opposite her, "You..."

Li Lingxuan raised his handsome eyebrows and brushed his sleeves, "Why, are you surprised to see me?"

How could he not be surprised? She had run so far to Anren County, and this damned Cheng Wang could still chase her. He was really haunting her.

Jiang Xue felt a sudden pain in her shoulder. She immediately held the injured part and lowered her head, thinking quickly about how to become a king today.

Li Lingxuan watched Jiang Xue lower her head in pain, then he took out a small green porcelain bottle and pushed it in front of Jiang Xue, "The best medicine for wounds."

Jiang Xue nodded, and then looked at Li Lingxuan in surprise. Has the King of Kings changed his nature today?

"What are you looking at me for?"

Jiang Xue immediately took the medicine and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"You're welcome. After all, you can't die now."

Jiang Xue: “….”

She thought that this King Cheng knew how to be gentle with women, but she didn't expect that he was still doing it for his own benefit. Bah! What a stinky man.

"Hmm?" Li Lingxuan looked at Jiang Xue without saying anything and asked, "What about you? I asked you to take the landscape painting from Wang Ziyan. What do you want to do by approaching Pei Zhijin?"

It turned out that he was taking the landscape painting from Wang Ziyan. Jiang Xue nodded.

"Speak!" Li Lingxuan knocked on the table impatiently.

Jiang Xue came back to her senses, leaned forward, and asked with a pair of phoenix eyes: "May I ask Your Majesty, what is so special about that painting?"

Li Lingxuan looked at Jiang Xue with deep eyes and said, "You just need to do what I say, and it's best not to interfere with anything else."

"Just like..." Li Lingxuan's eyes suddenly became cold as he spoke. He held a folding fan in his hand and placed it on Jiang Xue's injured shoulder. His movements seemed very light, but... only Jiang Xue knew how painful it was.
