Chapter 310 Sweeter than Honey
  Shen Zhuoxi was extremely tired and lay beside Jing Muling in a daze. He couldn't hold back his sleep and closed his eyes to rest.
  The summer sun always appears very early and shines through the hole.
  Jing Muling turned sideways and saw Shen Zhuoxi's sleeping face.
  Quiet and beautiful, her long eyelashes covered her face like a light feather fan, and the shimmer of light passed across her face, which was so clean that it was almost transparent.
  Although her body was in a mess and covered with dried mud, it did not hide her temperament at all.
  Jing Muling reached out and brushed away the slightly messy hair on her face. Maybe she was too tired, so she didn't wake up. Instead, she muttered something and instinctively moved closer to Jing Muling.
  Jing Muling couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth and covered her with clothes.
  There was a fire burning in the cave and it was not too cold. Jing Muling moved to check the wound.
  Zhengfeng happened to come in from outside and saw that he was awake. He was surprised and said: "Master, are you okay?"
  Jing Muling reached out and made a silent gesture to her lips, pointing at Shen Zhuoxi who had just fallen asleep.
  Zhengfeng understood, quickly covered his mouth, stepped in front of Jing Muling, placed a kettle on the ground, and whispered: "You fell asleep last night and your whole body was as hot as a stove. It was scary."
  "Are you feeling any discomfort right now?"
  Jing Muling's fever has subsided. Except for the softness all over her body that has not recovered from excessive blood loss and the slight pain in the wound, she doesn't feel much else.
  He stretched his muscles, not wanting to wake Shen Zhuoxi, and pointed outside: "Go out and talk."
  Zhengfeng quickly reached out to help him.
  There was another heavy rain in the second half of the night, which lasted for a long time. It was sunny in the morning.
  After heavy rain, the mountain forest is filled with the smell of earth and the fragrance of green plants.
  The master and servant walked outside the cave. Jing Muling couldn't help but take a deep breath and said, "How was the situation last night?"
  "After you killed the leader of the men in black, the rest of the men in black disappeared silently except for being knocked down by the princess and Huizhi." Zhengfeng told him what happened after he fell asleep.
  "I was planning to find the next stop, but I didn't expect that your fever is getting severe. The princess is worried that you won't be able to make it to the next stop, so she rests on the spot. Fortunately, there is a cave here."
  "Otherwise it rained in the middle of the night, and the fire probably wouldn't have been started. Princess Xin has taken care of you all night, and Xiaoxiao and Hui Zhi have to take care of you. Princess is worried."
  "She did work hard." Jing Muling glanced into the cave and her voice softened a lot: "What information was left on those people?"
  Zhengfeng shook his head and said: "While I was waiting for the princess, I searched the men in black around the carriage, but I didn't find anything that could prove their identity. I also discussed it with the princess last night."
  "These people have varying skills, good or bad. They don't look like professional killers, but more like streetwalkers. Moreover, the princess also said that she was caught by seven or eight men in black while escaping in the dense forest. "
  "The princess is smart and found clues from their actions. She was able to lure them with money, which is enough to support the conjecture of the villain and the princess."
  Hearing this, Jing Muling stared at the tree outside the cave and fell into deep thought.
  The Yeluzi killer can also obtain their movements, which are somewhat different from what he had previously guessed about the prince's actions. Who is he?
  Zhengfeng thought of Shen Zhuoxi's words and added: "By the way, the princess also said that she met a man named Qi Sheng last night. He appeared to save the princess and then disappeared."
  "I have never heard of this person before. I wonder if the prince has any impression?"
  Qi Sheng?
  Jing Muling searched around in his head, shook his head and said: "No, the surname Qi is special. It is extremely rare in Dongchen Kingdom. It is the royal surname of Beilong Kingdom."
  But according to the information he knew, there was no one named Qi Sheng in the main line of the Northern Dragon Kingdom's royal family, unless they were from a peripheral lineage of the royal family whose name was unknown.
  Zhengfeng asked suspiciously: "Could it be that someone from the royal family of the Beilong Kingdom is approaching our Dongchen Kingdom? Beilong and Dongchen have always kept their distance, and they can reach Shengdu quietly."
  "It's scary to think about being able to control the movements of you and the princess!"
  "Pay attention." Jing Muling warned: "I will look around, and you continue to guard the princess here."
  "Master, you just woke up and you are still injured." Zhengfeng was worried and followed him: "It's better not to go too far, or let the villain follow you, in case you encounter danger..."
  "You didn't listen to what I said?" Jing Muling interrupted him and raised her eyebrows: "Besides, this small injury is nothing. It's just that the group of people last night were despicable. They knew that the king was injured, so they couldn't bear it. The dragging will make me lose blood excessively."
  "After a night's rest, I have replenished all my energy. She will be fine. However, the princess was frightened by the rain last night, and she didn't sleep a wink all night. It was extremely hard. Don't wake her up and let her sleep more."
  Zhengfeng knew he couldn't resist, so he had no choice but to return to the cave.
  Huizhi also fell asleep. He depressedly added some firewood and leaned against the entrance of the cave to wait for Jing Muling.
  Shen Zhuoxi didn't sleep for long. She was pretentious and worried about Jing Muling's injury, so she couldn't sleep well at all.
  After falling asleep, there were messy dreams. One moment, it was a rainy night and the man in black chasing around, running desperately, and the next moment, Qi Sheng appeared inexplicably and his face was unclear.
  Finally, Jing Muling, who was covered in blood, was looking at her sadly, with the endless dark cliff behind him. He smiled and stretched out his hand to her, but fell down on his back.
  "Prince!" Shen Zhuoxi screamed and ran towards the cliff. The real feeling of weightlessness made her wake up instantly.
  Shen Zhuoxi sat up suddenly, looking dazed, and had not recovered from his dream for a while.
  "Miss?" Hui Zhi was awakened by her screams. She rubbed her eyes and approached, "Are you having a nightmare?"
  "Yes." Shen Zhuoxi finally regained consciousness, his eyes fell on the empty side, and he realized that Jing Muling was missing.
  She suddenly panicked, stood up quickly and said, "Where is the prince?"
  "I'm here, I went out for a walk." Jing Muling walked in quickly, holding a handful of unknown wild fruits in her hand, looking at her anxiously: "I heard your voice from far away, don't worry, I fine."
  "It's okay." Shen Zhuoxi breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know whether it was the emotion in the dream or being too close to the fire, but there was cold sweat all over the back of his forehead.
  She lightly wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and said, "How is your prince? Is there anything wrong with you?"
  "Much better." Jing Muling handed her the wild fruit and said, "Let's eat something to satisfy our hunger first. After we've rested, let's go on the road and find Shen Xinyu on Zhuangzi as soon as possible."
  "I'm ready to rest." Shen Zhuoxi shook his head and said, "We can't go to Zhuangzi first. The wound on the prince's body is not big, but it was rained in last night. If it is not treated as soon as possible, the ulcer will be troublesome."
  "We might as well go directly to the neighboring Chuzhou. It's prosperous there and there are many medicinal doctors there. We can bandage up the prince and then go to the Shen Family Villa."
  When Jing Muling saw that she was worried about her safety, her heart felt sweeter than eating honey.
  It's both sweet and gratifying.
  However, beauty is beauty, so he still looked at the overall situation: "My wound is fine, so I'd better rush to Zhuangzi first. I was delayed last night. If the prince beats me to it, wouldn't your journey be in vain?"
  Shen Zhuoxi still wanted to argue, but Jing Muling had already held her hand and said, "Without further delay, let's leave now. We'll talk about it when we get to Zhuangzi."
