Lin Xiangxiang sat on the tree with a pale face, looking down, and saw that all the men in black were dead, replaced by dense crowds of men in green.

She saw Xie Beiheng looking at them warily, so she didn't dare to say anything and vigilantly observed the situation under the tree.

The leading man in green respectfully walked up to Xie Beiheng and saluted, "Greetings, Young Master Zhenbei Hou!"

"My name is Mu Ci, and I'm here on the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi to rescue the Crown Prince! We've been searching near the Lancang River for many days. Fortunately, our efforts paid off, and today we finally found the Crown Prince!"

After saying this, he took out a token from his waist and respectfully handed it to Xie Beiheng with both hands, saying, "This is the token of Prince Qi's Palace. Please take a look, Your Highness!"

Prince Qi's Palace?

Xie Beiheng narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed that once something happened to him, some people in the capital could no longer sit still! If he guessed correctly, it should be more than just the people from Prince Qi's Mansion who were looking for him!

He took the token from Mu Ci's hand calmly, glanced at it, and handed it back, saying indifferently, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness!"

Mu Ci's heart sank when he saw Xie Beiheng's distant and indifferent attitude!

It’s all because they came too late. If they had arrived as soon as the killer in black appeared, perhaps things would have been different!

Now that it’s like this, isn’t it all a failure?

Thinking of this, Mu Ci immediately smiled and asked respectfully, "Prince, are you going back to the capital? Can I have your subordinates escort you back?"

"There are many ferocious beasts along the way, and we don't know if there are any assassins chasing us. We are willing to clear the obstacles and escort the prince!"

Hearing this, a hint of emotion flashed across Xie Beiheng's cold eyes.

His original intention was not to have too much involvement with the princes other than the crown prince, but Mu Ci was right. He wondered if there were any assassins chasing him along the way?

The Beirong people probably won't give up such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity easily!

He himself is fearless, but Xiangxiang... he can't let her be in danger again!

Thinking of this, Xie Beiheng paused and said in a deep voice: "Then I'll have to trouble Guard Mu!"

Mu Ci was delighted when he heard this and quickly bowed and said, "You are too polite, my lord!"

Xie Beiheng carried Lin Xiangxiang down from the tree. Lin Xiangxiang had just killed someone and was still feeling very upset.

But when he saw half of Xie Beiheng's body stained with blood, his nose felt sore and the suppressed emotions were instantly replaced by heartache. He hurriedly and worriedly bandaged his wound.

After the bandaging was completed, Xie Beiheng held Lin Xiangxiang's hand tightly again, and the group headed eastward in a mighty procession.

With Mu Ci and the others leading the way, the road was flat and we no longer had to worry about sudden poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts. Compared to the morning, our pace in the afternoon was obviously much faster!

Before the hour of You, they had successfully walked out of the Kunyu Mountains and arrived at Qinglian Town.

Xie Beiheng asked Mu Ci to leave only two people to drive the carriage for them, and the rest of them followed in secret.

If he openly returned to the capital with the people from Prince Qi's Palace, it would cause a huge uproar and there would be a lot of discussion in the court tomorrow, causing a huge uproar.

The most important thing is that he is worried that the prince will overthink it, and he is even more afraid that His Majesty will suspect that the Zhenbei Marquisate is involved in party disputes!

The sun sets on the mountainside and the geese carry the sun on their backs.

A carriage was speeding along the official road like an arrow, its wheels rolling and raising a cloud of dust.

The carriage swayed as it was jolted, and the curtains on the windows fluttered in the wind.

Inside the car, a young man and woman snuggled up to each other, the man's arms around the woman's shoulders, and the woman rested her head gently on the man's right shoulder.

Two hours later.

The bright moon hangs high, and the stars are dotted.

The crisp sound of horse hooves suddenly stopped, and the carriage stopped steadily in front of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.

The two people in the carriage quickly got off and went straight to Xie Beiheng's study.

Arriving at the study, Lin Xiangxiang quickly picked up her watch and looked at it. It was 20:40.

"Fortunately, it's still in time," Lin Xiangxiang breathed a sigh of relief!

"Xie Beiheng, remember to ask the doctor to treat your wound immediately. Don't let it get infected!"

"I...have to go back first!"

After being missing for so many days, Xie Beiheng knew that there must be a lot of things that needed her attention in China. She nodded and said softly, "Okay."

"Xiangxiang, I might be busy tonight. I won't go over tonight. Can I come to you tomorrow?"

Lin Xiangxiang smiled softly and nodded, "Okay, it's okay. Go ahead and do what you want. It's the weekend after tomorrow. If I have nothing to do, I'll come find you!"

For some reason, she had already started to miss him before they even separated!

Xie Beiheng was also reluctant to leave. He gently stroked her cheek with his fingertips, his charming eyes full of tenderness, "Wait for me!"

After Lin Xiangxiang went back, Xie Beiheng returned to his room and learned that his father, Xu Chong, An Yi and others were still looking for him outside. He immediately ordered someone to leave the city overnight to get them back!

A quarter of an hour later, the entire Zhenbei Marquis Mansion was in an uproar.

For so many days, apart from the Madam's deliberate concealment, everyone in the mansion knew that the Crown Prince had fallen into the Lancang River, his whereabouts unknown, his life or death uncertain. A gloomy atmosphere reigned throughout the mansion.

Now, knowing that the prince has returned safely, there are laughter and joy everywhere, and everyone is immersed in a happy and festive atmosphere.

Not long after, the doctor came!

Xie Beiheng was shirtless, and the doctor was cleaning his wounds when a servant outside the door announced, "Sir, the Second Young Master is here!"

Xie Beiheng's expression didn't change at all, he said calmly: "Well, let him in!"

Xie Beiyu hurried in from outside, and when he saw Xie Beiheng, he immediately said excitedly: "Big brother is finally back. I heard that big brother has returned safely, so I came to visit him specially!"

"My younger brother originally wanted to go with father to look for my eldest brother, but he was worried about mother being alone in the mansion, so he had to stay behind!"

"Fortunately, big brother is okay, otherwise I really don't know what to do!"

Xie Beiheng looked normal. "I'm fine. How's mother these days?"

Xie Beiyu replied respectfully, "Father ordered that Mother not be informed of my eldest brother's disappearance, so Mother hasn't heard of it yet. She is fine!"

"Ah."

The doctor applied medicine to Xie Beiheng's wound!

Xie Beiyu's eyes fell on his wound and he said angrily, "Who is so cruel to do such a cruel thing to Big Brother?"

Xie Beiheng glanced at him obscurely, and after a moment, he said in a cold voice, "I don't know yet!"
