"As far as I know, there are five groups of people looking for you." The man thought for a moment and decided to tell her the truth, "Gu Zhiqing, Bai Fengyu and Wufutang, you should know these three, and there is another group of people who are looking for you." The other group of His Royal Highness the King of Chu seems to be from the palace."

"Why did King Chu come to me?" Zuo Xiangning asked in confusion: "Did my eldest sister ask him to come to me?"

After Zuo Xiangning finished speaking, she shook her head, "My eldest sister probably doesn't know my current situation, so is it possible that the other group of people is my eldest brother?"

"Your elder brother has sent someone to look for you, but he hasn't found this place yet." The man said, "When you see Bai Fengyu again, you should advise him to return to the north quickly. If he doesn't go back, it would be bad to let the emperor know. I’m afraid he won’t be able to become the prince in the north either.”

Zuo Xiangning nodded and agreed: "I will tell him."

"You can kill Gu Zhiqing's people if you want, but you'd better be careful about King Chu's people, so as not to have a quarrel with King Chu in the future. King Chu will be..." Before Zuo Xiangning could finish her words, she fiercely Stopped.

"I have a sense of discretion." The man said: "If they are just here to inquire about information, I will not easily hurt anyone, but if they are here to kill, then I cannot possibly keep him alive."

Zuo Xiangzhang nodded.

"This should subside. You should go to sleep quickly." The man sat on a chair in the room.

"Are you going to sit here all night?" Zuo Xiangning asked.

"I'm afraid it won't be peaceful in the middle of the night." The man said, "You sleep in your bed, and I'll just sit and rest for a while."

"You should go to bed and go to sleep. I'll sit here," Zuo Xiangning said hurriedly, "I'm not sleepy now anyway."

"What are you doing sitting here? Waiting for someone to come and take you away?" The man stood up with a smile and said, "I'd better go out. If you need anything, call me."

Zuo Xiangning was lying on the bed, unable to sleep at all for a while. She turned her head and looked at the blurry black shadow outside the window for a while, and did not fall asleep until late at night.

The next morning, while eating, she saw the man still wearing the same clothes as yesterday.

"There shouldn't be anything else to do during the day. You should go and take a rest." Zuo Xiangning said with concern.

After the in-depth conversation last night, Zuo Xiangning no longer had any ill intentions toward the masked man.

"I slept for an hour last night." The man pushed the fish soup in front of her, "This is the fish I caught this morning. How do you like it?"

Zuo Xiangning took a sip and nodded with a smile: "It tastes extremely delicious."

"Then drink more." The man added another bowl to her.

Zuo Xiangning drank two bowls of soup, ate a bowl of porridge, and drank a lot of water. She couldn't eat anything else.

After the meal, she stood on the deck and watched the white waves lapping at the bow of the ship, splashing with splashes of spray. The scenery on both sides of the river was fleeting, making her feel as if the boat had passed the Ten Thousand Mountains.

After a while, the waves suddenly started to get bigger. The waves hit her three or four meters high and hit her directly. The hull of the boat was also shaking constantly.

Zuo Xiangning clung to the side of the boat to steady herself, her knuckles turning blue and white from the exertion.

After a while, she was so shaken that she felt dizzy and wanted to vomit, but she couldn't.

She staggered back to the cabin and sat on the chair for a while, but she didn't feel better, so she could only lie down on the bed.

The man came back from the stern of the boat and found the woman lying on the bed, swaying from side to side as the boat rocked. He hurriedly stepped forward to support her, "How are you?"

The woman's originally rosy cheeks had lost all color and became as pale as paper.

Her brows were furrowed and her eyes were blurred, as if she was in great pain.

"Just be patient, this section of the water is very fast, it will be fine once you get over this section of water."

Zuo Xiangning opened her eyes and took several deep breaths, trying to calm down the overwhelming feeling.

She smiled and waved her hand to the man, indicating that she was fine.

She didn't want to delay his schedule because of herself.

The man picked up the quilt and covered her, pressed her arm with his hand, and said distressedly: "You lie down with your eyes closed for a while, and you will get used to it after a while, and you will be fine."

Zuo Xiangning nodded, her lips tightened, trying to stop the unbearable nausea, but the feeling was too strong, making it unbearable.

In just a moment, she seemed to have been drained of all her blood, and her face turned frighteningly pale. She pushed away the man who was pressing her, and lay on the bedside and vomited out.

The man hurriedly stroked the woman's back with his palms and shouted to the outside: "Here comes someone!" Two girls ran in, one cleaned the floor and the other poured a cup of tea for Zuo Xiangning.

The man took the tea and said to the girl: "Let the boat drive slower."

The girl looked at the masked man and was slightly startled.

The man half-hugged Zuo Xiangning and handed the tea to her mouth. After she rinsed her mouth, he looked at the girl who was still standing there.

"Still not going?"

The girl nodded and said "yes".

Zuo Xiangning opened her mouth, wanting to tell the man that she was fine, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she couldn't help but almost spit out.

The entire cabin was filled with a pungent smell.

Zuo Xiangning weakly covered her mouth with a handkerchief, not daring to open her mouth again.

The masked man frowned, picked up Zuo Xiangning and the quilt, held her like a child, and sat down in a ventilated area at the door of the cabin.

The dazed, dizzy feeling floating up and down made Zuo Xiangning's head dizzy, and she had no time to worry about anything else.

She closed her eyes and leaned against him softly, feeling that her body was no longer shaking so much.

After a while, the ship seemed to slowly stabilize.

Zuo Xiangning slowly opened her eyes and found herself lying on the man's chest. She was stunned and wanted to jump off his lap.

"Don't move!" The man carried her to the next room, put her on the bed, and helped cover her with the quilt. "Your room needs to be tidied up for a while. You can lie down in my room for a while."

Zuo Xiangning lowered her long eyelashes and nodded.

The man touched her hair with his palm, stood up and left the room.

After he left, Zuo Xiangning slowly opened her eyes.

I have made it very clear to this man, why is he still so gentle to me?

She pressed her lips together.

She didn't know what was wrong with her, but she still felt strongly like vomiting, but now that the boat wasn't shaking too much, she could barely hold it in.

Suddenly, she heard a man's somewhat panicked voice coming from outside, "Uncle, the boat behind is catching up!"

Zuo Xiangning's heart tightened. It turned out that the boat was going so fast just now because there was a boat chasing them behind.

But because of her, the masked man slowed down the ship.

Zuo Xiangning wanted to get out of bed and tell the masked man that she was fine and that the boat could go faster.

But she sat up and leaned against the bed, but her legs were weak and she couldn't stand up at all.

The sound of "ping pong" swords came from outside again, and every sound made her heart tremble.

When she saw the two girls guarding the door, she opened her mouth and called in a low voice: "Come in!"

The two girls looked at each other, and the thinner girl ran in.

"Why are you up, girl? Lie down quickly. The uncle said that he will call a doctor for you in a moment." The little girl supported Zuo Xiangning and wanted her to lie down again.

Zuo Xiangning stopped her and whispered to her: "When the bad guys are defeated later, you tell your uncle that I am fine and let the boat drive faster."

The little girl nodded and said, "Okay."

Before she could finish her words, the little girl guarding the door came into contact with two men in black.

The little girl in the room hurriedly said "be careful" to Zuo Xiangning, ran to the door, took out a sword from the door frame and stabbed one of the men in black in the back.

Blood splashed everywhere, Zuo Xiangning was dizzy and fell back on the bed.
