Chapter 189
Galloping all the way, she didn't know where she was. Hua Rujin heard the sound of fighting coming from the depths of the forest from time to time, so she searched for the place where the sound came from and chased after it.

Chasing all the way to the edge of the Chu River, she saw a man in a jade-colored long gown being violently besieged by a group of men in black under the moonlight. There was no need to question that tall and straight figure, except for Ye Chengwei.

The assassins rushed towards him like crazy, forcing him to retreat to the river.

Hua Rujin looked extremely anxious, slammed the horse's back and moved towards that side, and was about to catch up, when suddenly the jade-colored figure retreated to the edge of the cliff and fell straight down.

"grown ups."

She was so frightened that she didn't hesitate, she stepped on the horse and jumped in the direction where the figure disappeared.

The rapidly falling figure seemed to have seen what was going on behind him. Looking up, he found that it was Hua Rujin. He flipped the figure quickly, thrust the sword straight into the rock wall with one hand, and pulled the falling Hua Rujin with his other hand.

"You don't want to die, what are you doing jumping down?"

Hearing the sharp screeching sound of the sword cutting against the rock wall, Ye Chengwei scolded angrily while steadying his falling speed.

Hua Rujin's mind was blank at the moment, and he hesitated and replied: "Of course I saw the adults jump, so I jumped off."

Hearing this, Ye Chengwei was both angry and funny, and hurriedly hugged her tighter, and said in a warm voice: "Hold me tight, hold your breath, the river below is extremely cold now, otherwise you will suffocate if you fall , so no matter what, hold your breath and hold on to me."

"Ah."

Hua Rujin responded softly, hugged him tightly with her hands obediently, and then took a deep breath.

Hearing a puffing sound, Hua Rujin felt her scalp go numb for a while, her whole body seemed to be unconscious, and her eyes immediately darkened.

She tried her best to hold her breath, the biting coolness around her pierced her lungs, and it really choked her to the point of suffocation.

Before he could get used to it, he felt a big hand wrap around him again, and finally surfaced after supporting for a moment.

Hua Rujin took a few breaths, seeing Ye Chengwei supporting herself with both hands, staring at her quietly with twinkling eyes, she also checked him carefully from top to bottom in anxiety, asking with concern Said: "My lord, are you alright?"

Ye Chengwei shook his head, looked around in the night, suddenly pointed to a distant mountain depression, and said, "Persist a little longer, and I'll take you to swim to the other side."

Although she is also good at swimming, she mostly swam in swimming pools in her previous life, and unexpectedly she was in this river full of undercurrents, and it was winter, and she felt extremely uncomfortable, holding Ye Cheng tightly with one hand. The curtain didn't dare to let go for a moment.

Under his leadership, I don't know how long I swam, and finally reached the shore.

The moment she climbed ashore, Hua Rujin felt her whole body trembling.

Just out of danger, Ye Chengwei was worried that the assassin would come after him, and he didn't dare to light an open fire in the forest, so he carried the flowers on his back like a brocade in distress, and continued to walk forward.

"There may be many assassins sent by King Fu this time. Fortunately, the Chu River is vast, and it is difficult for those assassins to find us for a while. Let's find a place to rest for the night, and try to return to the city after dawn."

Ye Chengwei was thinking about how many assassins had been arranged in the forest, and wanted to find a way out from the river below the cliff, but he never thought that this girl would follow her, so he became more cautious at this moment, for fear of another accident.

Hua Rujin leaned on his shoulder, listening to his soft voice, the whole person was in a trance.

"Hua Rujin, maybe you heard me?"

Seeing that she didn't respond for a while, Ye Chengwei became anxious and immediately turned to look at her.

"I am fine."

Hua Rujin replied with a trembling voice.

Hearing that the voice was not right, Ye Chengwei quickly quickened his pace and walked towards the depths of the jungle.

After crossing many thorns, he finally saw that there seemed to be a house in front of him. He walked in happily and found that it was a small abandoned temple.

He put down Hua Rujin carefully first, found some dry firewood in the yard, and finally lit a bonfire after a lot of tossing.

Hua Rujin sat by the fire, waiting for the whole room to gradually warm up, before she felt her soul return to this world.

After Ye Chengwei took off his outer robe and squeezed out the water, he found a wooden pole and set it beside the fire, and spread out his outer robe to bake.

Hua Rujin quietly watched him busy inside and outside the house for a long time, but she did not know where to find pots and jars and put them in front of her, and even found a few large sweet potatoes and buried them in the fire.

After that, he checked the baked clothes, and said in a gentle voice: "I'll go find some water, and you can change into my clothes first."

After speaking, he hurried out the door again.

Only then did Hua Rujin get up and pinch his outer robe which was baking. After seven to eight minutes of drying, she took off her outer robe and squeezed the water dry. First, she sat around the fire and then baked the inner clothes. After a long time, he put on his outer robe until his body became much warmer.

Smelling the sweet sweet potato smell in her lungs, she quickly took a wooden stick and pulled the sweet potato out of the fire.

After adding some more dry firewood, Ye Chengwei came in from outside with a pot of water.

With the clear water he found, the two ate up the baked sweet potatoes.

With strength in her body and replenishment of her physical strength, Ye Chengwei saw that her energy and energy had improved a lot, so she asked, "Why did you suddenly come out of the city?"

I almost asked her directly, shouldn't she be watching the Lantern Festival with King Ning in the city?

Hua Rujin smiled without saying a word, and after pondering for a moment, she asked back: "Master, don't you know your current situation?"

The implication is also to blame him for not coming out to investigate the case alone.

After all, he has already become a thorn in the side of others.

Mentioning this matter, Ye Chengwei was naturally angry, and a strong jealousy went straight to his heart.

But when he thought about how she jumped into the Chu River with him just now, he felt that this girl must have her own in her heart.

It is her ambiguous attitude that makes people uncertain whether she is in love with King Ning or herself.

The two fell into silence, and neither of them took the initiative to speak again.

Seeing that the sky was getting brighter, Ye Chengwei extinguished the firewood, arranged the baked clothes and handed them to her, and said in a lukewarm tone: "Let's go back to the city earlier."

Hua Rujin responded casually, took the clothes, watched him walk out of the room, and then changed back into her own clothes.

Ye Chengwei put on his outer robe, and the two rushed towards the city along the Chu River.

Zhu Zhiye ordered the provincial government's army. When Lu Ming learned that his son had been assassinated, he personally led the troops, and a large group of people searched for Ye Chengwei's trace in the mountains.

Zhu Zhiye learned from Qi Feng that Hua Rujin and Ye Chengwei had both fallen into the Chu River, so he hurriedly led the soldiers to search along the river.

After searching all night, I finally met two people in the lower reaches of the mountain.

Seeing that Hua Rujin was unscathed, Zhu Zhiye rushed forward excitedly, almost crying with joy, and asked, "Little Hua'er, are you alright?"

Ye Chengwei looked at his squinting eyes, his face darkened, he immediately grabbed Hua Rujin's palm, and replied sharply: "Your Highness, I'm worrying too much. If Governor Hua is with me, nothing will happen."
