I traveled through time with my best friend.

"Why did the person suddenly disappear?"

When Jiang Xue heard the voice of the man in black, her breathing stopped instantly and she tightly grasped the hand that was covering her mouth.

"She must not have run far. Let's go over there and take a look."

"Yes."

Gradually, the footsteps became farther and farther away, and the person behind him said, "Okay, it's okay."

Jiang Xue immediately put down her slightly shrugged shoulders, then turned around and hugged the person standing behind her with red eyes.

"Great, you're okay."

Pei Zhijin raised the corner of his mouth, patted Jiang Xue's back gently, and said softly: "I'm fine, but you, why did you leave the city?"

Jiang Xue looked at Pei Zhijin and said anxiously: "I heard from Ye Tong that you were attacked and your whereabouts are unknown. I am very worried."

Pei Zhijin's eyes flashed with worry. He reached out to touch the hair by Jiang Xue's ear and whispered, "Are they all Cheng Wang's men?"

"Yes." Jiang Xue nodded and said, "They were waiting there as soon as I left the city. I suspect that King Cheng was responsible for your attack."

Pei Zhijin lowered his eyes slightly, "It seems that King Cheng has doubts."

Jiang Xue suddenly thought of something, quickly reached into her arms, then frowned slightly, looked at Pei Zhijin and said, "Did I lose the intelligence collection?"

Pei Zhijin frowned slightly and asked carefully: "Do you know where it was thrown away?"

Jiang Xue thought about it carefully and said, "It should have been thrown at the city gate. Could it be... that Mu Qi has taken it away?"

"It's possible." Pei Zhijin said, "We can't go back to the barracks for the time being."

"Then where are we going?"

"follow me."

Pei Zhijin picked up Jiang Xue and jumped out of the pit. The forest was as quiet as usual. It seemed that those people had gone far away.

When Pei Zhijin was holding Jiang Xue and preparing to continue walking forward, Jiang Xue suddenly said, "Put me down."

Pei Zhijin whispered: "The road is difficult to walk on, I'll hold you in my arms." Then he walked straight forward.

Jiang Xue did not refuse. She gently moved her head closer to Pei Zhijin. She felt his rapid breathing and frowned slightly.

After Pei Zhijin crossed a steep hillside, his vision suddenly opened up. Deep in the mountains, there was a green bamboo forest, and inside the bamboo forest was a courtyard.

Jiang Xue was a little surprised, looked at Pei Zhijin and said: "This is..."

"Wenchuan had been in this barren mountain before. In order to facilitate exploration, he looked for a place to stay in the deepest part of the mountain and found this place."

Pei Zhijin put Jiang Xue down after he finished speaking.

Wenchuan and Wenyu happened to walk out of the bamboo forest. When they saw Pei Zhijin and Jiang Xue, they quickly ran forward.

"Madam, why are you here? Where is Zhufeng?" Wen Yu asked.

Jiang Xue shook her head and said, "I came here alone."

"Oh." Wen Yu lowered his head in disappointment.

Wenchuan said, "Sir, we were attacked last night by people from Jingming Hall, and there were also some bandits among them. When will we catch all the bandits?"

Pei Zhijin's eyes were deep, and he said, "Wait a little longer."

"Yes."

Jiang Xue looked at Pei Zhijin and said, "Shall we go in first?"

"it is good."

Wenchuan and Wenyu started chatting in the yard, and Jiang Xue and Pei Zhijin went into the house.

As soon as the door was closed, Jiang Xue looked at Pei Zhijin with concern and said, "Take off your clothes."

Pei Zhijin was stunned and said awkwardly: "It's broad daylight, isn't it bad?"

"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Jiang Xue frowned, reached out to untie Pei Zhijin's belt, and said, "Why didn't you tell me that you were injured?"

Pei Zhijin smiled and said softly, "Did you find out?"

"Don't forget, I know medical skills. Can you hide it from me?" Jiang Xue said unhappily, "Take off your clothes?"

Pei Zhijin obediently took off his clothes. Jiang Xue looked at the shocking wound on his back and said distressedly: "You are so badly injured, and you still say you are fine?"

"They are just minor injuries, nothing serious."

"It's not a problem at all. You can even see the bones. Don't you feel the pain?" Jiang Xue scolded.

Pei Zhijin turned around, looked at Jiang Xue who was worried about him, and said softly: "I don't want you to worry."

"Okay, I don't blame you." Jiang Xue turned Pei Zhijin over, took out the medicine she carried with her and began to apply it to him carefully.

After applying the medicine, Jiang Xue said softly, "It's done."

Pei Zhijin put on his clothes, turned to look at Jiang Xue, and said with a smile: "Are you hungry?"

"I'm not hungry." Jiang Xue shook her head, but just as she finished speaking, her stomach started to growl.

Jiang Xue: “….”

Pei Zhijin chuckled, then stood up and said, "I'll go make some porridge."

Jiang Xue had no choice but to nod, and stood up and said, "I'll go with you."

--------

Beijing.

Cheng Wangfu.

Li Lingxuan looked at the intelligence collection in his hand, looked at Mu Qi and asked, "How is the search for Jiang Xue going?"

"Your Highness, our people chased Miss Jiang to the barren mountains and she disappeared. We haven't found her yet."

"Where's Pei Zhijin?"

"He is injured, but his whereabouts are unknown. I have sent people to guard outside the military camp. If Pei Zhijin is spotted, he will be shot immediately."

Li Lingxuan put the intelligence collection in his hand aside and said, "Keep a close eye on the Desolate Mountain. I don't want Pei Zhijin to appear in the capital at the end."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely send someone to guard it carefully."

"Go down." Li Lingxuan said casually.

"Yes."

After Mu Qi left, the butler walked in quickly, "Your Majesty, the imperial physician is here."

Li Lingxuan frowned unhappily after hearing this, and then said, "Let him in."

"Yes."

Chongming walked in dressed in black, his face still looking very pale, and bowed slightly, saying, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."

"Why are you here instead of staying in the palace?"

Chongming bowed his head slightly and said respectfully, "Your Highness, the palace has already dealt with it. His Majesty will suddenly faint tonight and his life is in danger."

Li Lingxuan looked at Chongming with deep eyes and said, "Are you still thinking about leaving me?"

Chongming lowered his eyes slightly, his emotions undetectable, he just said calmly: "Yes."

"Heh." Li Lingxuan sneered disdainfully, stood up, slowly walked to Chongming, and said, "If you want to leave Jingming Hall, you should know the rules."

"I am willing to endure the heart-wrenching pain, and I hope Your Majesty will grant my wish." Chongming half-knelt in front of Li Lingxuan.

"Okay, then I will grant your wish." Li Lingxuan said coldly: "Go to Jingming Hall to receive your punishment, and you will have nothing to do with Jingming Hall from now on."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Chongming stood up and turned around to leave decisively.

Li Lingxuan watched Chongming's gradually receding back, and his initial murderous intent slowly dissipated. He is indeed a persistent person, but even if he has suffered such heart-wrenching pain, he will not live long, so he will be allowed to linger on for a few more days.

It's approaching dark.

The cold wind penetrated into people's skin, making them shiver.

Chongming walked in the deserted street with a pale face. The bleak moonlight lengthened his lonely figure, making him look extremely desolate.
