"Although this group of people don't know who they are and why they came to assassinate you, but they can grasp your whereabouts so accurately, it is very likely that there are people from the other side among your people." Bai Fengyu said: "Be careful. Only then can the ship be sailed.”

Zuo Xiangning nodded.

After Bai Fengyu left, Zuo Xiangning thought about all the people around her, but she felt that no one seemed like someone who could betray her.

She didn't know how long it had been, but Zuo Xiangning was secretly worried when she saw that Bai Fengyu hadn't come back yet.

She added two pieces of wood to the fire, and then walked to the entrance of the cave worriedly. She found that the sky outside was already dark, and the entrance to the cave was full of branches and vines, making it impossible to see what was going on outside.

She didn't dare to move, for fear of ruining Bai Fengyu's disguise.

She stood by the cave entrance, listening to the sounds outside.

There was no movement at all outside.

After a while, Zuo Xiangning heard someone calling "girl" vaguely outside.

Zuo Xiangning was shocked and quickly wanted to respond.

But as soon as she opened her mouth, she thought of what Bai Fengyu reminded her.

She didn't dare to say a word and raised her ears to listen to the sounds outside.

After listening for a while, Zuo Xiangning realized something was wrong. Her little face turned pale and she covered her mouth with her hands, not daring to make any more noise.

It wasn't until two quarters of an hour passed that the shouting voice gradually faded away, until there was no sound at all, Zuo Xiangning put down her hand and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Crack", the sound of trampling branches was heard outside the cave.

Zuo Xiangning was so frightened that she almost jumped up. She picked up a short stick from the ground and stared at the entrance of the cave.

The branch was pulled out from the outside, and Bai Fengyu stepped in.

She handed the two peaches to Zuo Xiangning, "They are not yet ripe, but they are quite moist."

"How's it going outside?" Zuo Xiangning asked worriedly.

"A group of people came outside. They circled around the mountain and were already heading west." Bai Fengyu asked curiously: "I just heard them calling you with the sound of ice and rain. Why didn't you respond?"

"They were in the same direction and position, calling 'girl' in different voices." Zuo Xiangning said: "Bingyu shouldn't be that stupid, and Cuihua was injured so badly just now, so it's impossible for her to come looking for me. , even if she did come, she wouldn’t shout so loudly.”

"The group of people who came to look for you are all men." Bai Fengyu said: "Who did you offend? Let him go through so much trouble to ambush and kill you here?"

"I haven't offended anyone..." Zuo Xiangning thought for a moment and said, "Li Wenji probably doesn't have such great ability. Gu Zhiqing may have this ability, but he probably won't really want to kill me."

"Is there anyone else?" Bai Fengyu asked, "Think again."

Zuo Xiangning shook her head, "Probably gone."

"It's not for you, but for me?" Bai Fengyu thought of his troubled brothers and shook his head, "Even if they have intentions, they are beyond their reach."

"Then I'm here for you." Zuo Xiangning heard his words and said hurriedly: "Someone must want you to die in southern Shanxi!"

The more Zuo Xiangning thought about it, the more she realized this was a possibility, "I told you not to come with me, but you didn't listen. Now you've harmed all my people. What should I do?"

"Why do you still believe that the wind is the rain? I just said it so casually, and you really believed it?" Bai Fengyu said in a dumbfounded voice: "If you really came for me, when Cuihua took you away, they would I won’t try my best to stop you.”

Zuo Xiangning blinked, feeling that what he said seemed to make some sense.

"That's Gu Zhiqing." Zuo Xiangning felt that he was the most suspicious.    Asking for something but not getting it, hating you out of love, or repaying your grudge are all reasons for Gu Zhiqing.

"Although the eldest princess has a noble status, as a princess, she should not have so many people in her hands." Bai Fengyu shook his head, "And Gu Zhiqing was recognized by the eldest princess, but now he is not even a prince, and it should be even less likely that he will have one. Such great ability.”

Zuo Xiangning suddenly thought of Qingquan Temple.

Could it be that he saw through Qingquan Temple's deception, and Qingquan Temple sent people to kill him and silence him?

"No matter who they are, they won't give up easily. We have a chance to find out their background." Bai Fengyu threw two more pieces of wood into the fire and said, "When it gets dark later, let's find a way out of this place." A forest. As long as they leave the forest and are on the way to Ghost Valley, they don't dare to act rashly."

"I think they can do anything." Zuo Xiangning said worriedly: "Let's wait until dawn tomorrow before leaving. We must not hurt your friends again."

"My friend is bored every day and wants to find something to do." Bai Fengyu said with a smile: "The name of Ghost Valley sounds scary, but it is actually very beautiful inside."

"Almost all those who live in seclusion are masters." Zuo Xiangning sat on the ground next to the fire and took off her shoes.

Zuo Xiangning was wearing thin-soled embroidered shoes today. When she had walked less than a mile just now, she was already in unbearable pain.

Bai Fengyu looked at her blood-soaked soles, glanced at her with an ugly expression, and said nothing.

He picked up a piece of wood from the ground, lit it, and walked toward the innermost part of the cave.

After a while, he came back and asked Ma Zuoxiang to pick her up and walk inside.

"Where are you taking me?" Zuo Xiangning asked nervously.

"Usually such deep and long caves will have water sources inside." Bai Fengyu placed her on a smooth stone, slowly wetted her soles with his hands, then carefully took off her socks and removed them from her feet. He took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and sprinkled the powder inside evenly on the soles of her feet.

Zuo Xiangning bit her lip tightly and watched him wrap her feet with his clothes.

She thought in her mind that the last time her foot was injured, Ling Xiao came over to give her medicine in the middle of the night, as if she were some rare treasure.

Ling Xiao also said at the time that although they have no relationship now, they may not have a relationship in the future.

She really has nothing to do with him now.

"Why are you still crying?" Bai Fengyu looked up and saw her crying, and was startled, "Did I hurt you?"

Zuo Xiangning wiped her eyes with her sleeve, took back her feet, and said lightly: "Thank you, Prince Ru."

"Can you stop being so polite to me? You can call me Brother Bai, Feng Yu, Bai Fengyu, any name is fine. Can you stop calling me Prince Ru?"

"Thank you, Bai Fengyu." Zuo Xiangning changed her tune and said it again.

Bai Fengyu went out and came back with a lot of leaves wrapped in his coat.

He spread them on the warm ground next to the fire.

"You just need to sleep for a while tonight." Bai Fengyu spread his coat on the leaves, "Don't worry, I'll be watching over you."

"Can you please stop telling me the words 'let me rest assured'?" Zuo Xiangning said solemnly: "Every time you say this, something bad happens. Now when I hear this, I just felt waves of fear..."

Before Zuo Xiangning's voice could finish, the sound of chopping branches could be heard outside the cave.

She stood up and hurriedly hid behind Bai Fengyu.

The branches and vines at the entrance of the cave were split open with a sword, and then a man dressed in black broke in.
