I don’t know how long it took, but there was some slight movement outside the cave.

Ji Ruxuan frowned and opened his eyes. He was leaning against the stone wall. Jiang Fuguang was curled up in his arms and still asleep. She was breathing evenly and her black hair was messy on his chest.

Footsteps were heard outside.

Ji Ruxuan slowly let go of her, put her on the felt blanket, covered her with her cloak, threw a few dry logs into the fire, and walked out of the cave.

Wei Si and Wei Twelve came back one after another and reported the details of the investigation.

As she was talking, she saw Jiang Fuguang walking out of the cave. She had just woken up. Her face was stained with a thin red, but she still looked a little tired and was not in good spirits.

Jiang Fuguang said quickly: "I made a decoction to reduce swelling and blood stasis. You go in and drink it quickly."

Ji Ruxuan nodded: "It's not advisable to stay here for a long time. Drink medicine first, then eat something to replenish your strength, and leave in half an hour."

The dry food they eat is made from rice flour, corn flour, soybean flour, dried mutton grains and salt, and then dried. It can be eaten by roasting it casually or soaking it in water.

Jiang Fuguang was not in good spirits and had no appetite. He barely ate two pieces of cheese, but then he couldn't eat anything and rested on the hay.

Ji Ruxuan put the dry food in the water, cooked a pot of soft rice flour paste, and coaxed Jiang Fuguang to eat some more.

After eating and drinking enough, Jiang Fuguang felt better: "I'm fine now. Let's leave quickly. If you stay here, you will attract pursuers."

Ji Ruxuan nodded: "Let Wei Twelve carry you on his back."

Jiang Fuguang was about to refuse when he heard him continue: "It's pitch black outside. You can't see the road clearly, so as not to make a fuss."

Jiang Fuguang pursed his lips and lowered his head.

After dawn, the guards launched a carpet-like search in the mountains. Several times, their whereabouts were almost exposed. Ji Ruxuan saw that something was wrong, so he had to take them deep into the mountains and old forests.

This also means that in addition to being hunted by pursuers, they also face wild beasts, snakes and insects in the mountains, and may even lose their way.

Just escaping a group of pursuing soldiers, Jiang Fuguang stumbled and followed Ji Ruxuan with a dirty face. The terrain in front of her was getting steeper and steeper, but she gritted her teeth and remained silent. Ji Ruxuan turned around and pulled her back. A handful.

Jiang Fuguang staggered and threw himself into his arms. Before he could react, he threw his body to the ground and rolled a few times on the grass.

After a moment of spinning, Jiang Fuguang heard a whooshing sound, streaking through the air, and several arrows buzzing as they were nailed to the place where they were standing.

"They're here."

"Don't let them run away."

"Catch them quickly."

"on!"

"..."

A flurry of voices, accompanied by a burst of chaotic footsteps, rushed over from all directions.

Last night, they chased the eldest princess and her party into the mountains. Because the mountains were deep and forested, and it was too dark, they quickly lost track of the eldest princess and had no choice but to search aimlessly in the mountains. During this period, they were constantly ambushed and lost a lot of money. There are few people, but no one has been found.

Jiang Fuguang's face turned pale as he listened to the shrill howls that broke through the air. Ji Ruxuan protected the back of her head with one hand and held her waist tightly with the other, using him as a shield to hold her tightly under him. Blocking the rapid wind and rain of arrows outside.

He hugged her so tightly that Jiang Fuguang couldn't move, his head was pressed against his chest, and he was almost out of breath.

There were sounds of fighting outside, and the flying arrows were blocked. Ji Ruxuan's voice sounded in his ears: "Lie down, don't move."

Before Jiang Fuguang had time to respond, Ji Ruxuan jumped up, picked up the long knife and rushed into the battlefield, and screams were heard one after another.There were only more than 50 pursuers in this wave, and they were completely eliminated within a quarter of an hour.

Wei Twelve rushed over, carried Jiang Fuguang on his back, and the group quickly evacuated.

As soon as they left, several waves of guards heard the noise and rushed over from different directions. They only saw corpses on the ground and blood that had not yet dried on the ground.

"Chase, they haven't gone far yet."

Jiang Fuguang didn't know how long he had been running away. The rising sun in the morning had already begun to shift to the west. If nothing unexpected happened, Piroye's army would arrive in Dali City tonight. He didn't know if the people sent out had the news. Sent to Dali City.

……

Dali.

The city wall, which is several feet high, stands majestically in the thin dusk. The majestic Cangshan Mountain stretches across the territory of Dali. The top of the mountain is covered with snow, but the mountainside is verdant. A milky-white cloud belt floats gracefully, as if it is a village. The jade belt on Cangshan's body is spectacular.

After martial law in Dali City, the number of guards on the city walls increased. When it was time to shift, the guards suddenly saw dust flying in the distance, and a horse on a fast horse came galloping in the dusk.

The guards were shocked and immediately rushed to the observation tower and beat drums to warn.

The sound of drums and drums spread throughout the city tower, and the defenders in the turrets rushed to the city wall like a tide, bending their bows and shooting, aiming at the people who were rushing towards them.

The guard shouted: "Who is coming?"

The horses' hooves clattered, but no one answered.

The general who defended the city immediately raised his hand, and several archers approached him. They waited for the attack order and immediately fired arrows to kill them.

"Who is coming? Please tell me your name quickly."

Still no one responded. The general who was about to give the order to fire arrows suddenly saw the horse's hooves slowing down and the smoke falling. He took a closer look and saw a man in black on the back of the horse. The man's head was down, and blood was dripping from his drooping hands. On, it kept dripping.

The general guarding the city quickly put down the rope and sent people down to check.

A guard climbed down the tower along the thick rope and stepped forward cautiously. The man on horseback suddenly rolled down and fell to the ground.

He was already seriously injured and dying.

The guard was startled and hurried forward. The man in black lying on the ground opened his eyes and stretched out his hand to him while vomiting blood: "I am, I am the secret guard next to the eldest princess. I have the eldest princess's blood on me." A token, a certificate, a proof of identity.”

"I, I want to see Your Excellency Luo Yan."

"Yes, there is an urgent report."

The guard was so surprised that he hurriedly knelt down and groped around on his body for a while. Soon, he touched a neatly folded piece of paper on his chest. He opened it and saw that it was a seal.

He immediately carried the secret guard on his back, rushed to the city gate, and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Open the door, open the door quickly, it's the secret guard next to the eldest princess, there is an urgent report."

The side door opened from the inside and the guards rushed into the city.

It was a matter of concern for the eldest princess. The general who defended the city did not dare to delay at all. He ordered people to help the secret guards deal with the injuries, and immediately took the seal to notify Lord Luo Yan.

After Dali City was under martial law, Luo Yan lived in the city defense area, not far from the city gate. After receiving the news, he immediately rushed to the city gate. As soon as he saw the general guarding the city, he couldn't wait to ask.

"What happened? How could the eldest princess's secret guard be seriously injured? Where is he? How is he doing now?"
