After hearing Shen Xixi's words, Ji Wuhen turned around, looked at those clear eyes in the night, and for the first time... said nothing.

Worried about Shen Xixi's safety, Ji Wuhen did not go far, picked up some branches nearby, and then walked back to the cave.

After gathering the branches together, seeing that Shen Xixi was still immersed in her thoughts, Ji Wuhen took out the flint and lit the branches.

Because it was autumn and the climate was very dry, the branches were completely ignited the moment they came into contact with the flames, illuminating the dark cave.

"Don't worry, they will find us." Ji Wuhen moved stones from the corner of the cave and placed them, and sat down close to Shen Xixi.

"...?" Knowing that the other party was comforting her, Shen Xixi didn't say much and gently moved her gaze towards Ji Wuhen.

I have to admit that this face will always be stunning no matter what time it is.

"Ji Wuhen, are you afraid?" In fact, what Shen Xixi wanted to say more in her heart was to apologize.

If she hadn't been sent back early, she might not have had to suffer this.

"Are you afraid?...One thing, will sister protect me?" Ji Wuhen, who was stirring the fire, paused slightly when he heard her words, and the next second there was a lazy smile on his face again.

"Yes." Facing the other party's shallow face, Shen Xixi nodded slowly.

Originally, in her plan, she never had murderous intentions towards Ji Wuhen.

"Haha, sister, you must do what you say!"

The fire was bright, reflecting on the wall of the cave, and the two figures were reflected on it. Looking at the two figures intertwined on the wall, Ji Wuhen slowly lowered his eyes, and his voice was soft and low, dissipated in the firelight.

……

Outside the paddock on the other side, the imperial concubine was seriously injured while protecting the emperor. The medicinal materials that the accompanying imperial physician brought with her were limited, and she needed to return to the palace for treatment.

Seeing the unconscious and pale imperial concubine, the emperor was worried and led a group of people back to the palace that night.

Before leaving, he specifically called Fu Minghe aside and told him to find Changning and bring him back to the palace.

After seeing off the emperor and others, Fu Minghe immediately called his men and began to search the mountain.

"If you encounter an assassin, shoot him without mercy!"

The moon gradually disappeared, and the sky was stained with ink. Fu Minghe's resolute face appeared and disappeared in the night, and a pair of falcon-like eyes shimmered.

"Yes!!!"

Upon hearing the order, the guards shouted, then turned around neatly and headed towards the hunting ground behind them.

"Father, our people..." Fu Youxing, who was standing aside, couldn't bear his father's ruthless behavior. He opened his mouth to dissuade him, but was shocked by Fu Minghe's sharp eyes.

"Okay, when a man does his job, he must cut the grass and root out the roots."

After taking a deep look at Fu Youxing standing opposite, Fu Minghe slowly turned his back and walked away.

For the first time, I had a little doubt about my decision to take the child over.

……

Five miles away from the hunting ground, on a hillside, two men in black stood on it, looking in the direction of the hunting ground.

"Holy Aunt, why are we...doing this?" The shorter girl in black looked at the expressionless woman next to her with confusion in her eyes.

Obviously, Saint Aunt never cares about this, so why did she come in person this time.

"...Let's go." After looking through the layers of black fog for a long time, the woman with a black gauze on her face slowly spoke, turned and left.

"Huh? Just leaving? Then Shen Xixi..." Seeing the saint aunt turn around and leave without looking back, Agu said hello with all his words in his head and quickly caught up with the saint aunt.

"She's fine..." Thinking of the result he had just speculated, Lin Zhixi turned his head slightly and looked at the girl's flashing eyes.

"Holy aunt, what's wrong with you?"

Agu's eyes widened even more when he heard the saint aunt sigh for the first time since childhood.

"It's okay, go back."

Looking into Agu's ignorant eyes, Lin Zhixi shook her head, stepped on the stirrup and mounted the horse, patted the neck of the sweaty horse beneath her, and the horse began to run slowly.

"Huh?... Holy aunt, wait for Agu!" Seeing the holy aunt get on his horse and leave, Agu, who stayed where he was, yelled, got on his horse and chased after her.

……

"Sister, sleep first, I'll guard here." Ji Wuhen said softly after spreading the hay in the cave, picking up Shitou's coat and handing it to Shen Xixi.

It was approaching Yin hour, the fog in the mountain forest was getting thicker and thicker, the air was chilly, and the fire could not be extinguished.

"I'll replace you in an hour." After running all the way, Shen Xixi was exhausted, so she directly accepted Ji Wuhen's proposal, took the clothes and walked to the hay to lie down.

Seeing Shen Xixi's cooperation, the smile in Ji Wuhen's eyes deepened. He walked back to sit on the stone, picked up a branch and stirred the fire to raise the flame.

When she just lay down, Shen Xixi was not used to it and felt a little uncomfortable under her body, although it was better with the hay blocking it.

However, Shen Xixi adapted quickly. At the end of her previous life, she had slept in dungeons many times, let alone hay.

After getting used to it, the soreness began to spread throughout my body, and my calves and waist felt like they were being crushed by big rocks.

Moving her calves, Shen Xixi turned over and faced Ji Wuhen by the fire.

Looking at the red figure, I felt a little calmer in my heart, and slowly closed my eyes.

Before going to bed, Shen Xixi thought, this guy... really loves the color red.

Listening to the people around him breathing slowly and calmly, Ji Wuhen turned his head slightly and looked at the small porcelain white face.

There were two "swish" sounds, and several sounds came from the grass. Ji Wuhen slowly turned his head and looked at the six men in black standing in front of the grass, narrowing his narrow peach blossom eyes.

……

Not far from the cave, Ji Wuhen stood in front of the men in black, looking at them expressionlessly.

"Who sent you here?"

Fu Minghe's original plan was just to assassinate the emperor and her, in order to arouse the emperor's suspicion and lead the investigation of the treasure to him.

"My lord, spare my life." Regarding the master's inquiry, the man in black had already anticipated it and bowed his head in silence.

"Haha, very good." Seeing that the other party refused to speak, Ji Wuhen snorted coldly and kicked the man in black next to him, sending him flying.

"Master, have mercy on me..." The sound of broken bones was clearly heard, and the leading man forced himself to stand up, spit out the blood in his mouth, and knelt in front of Ji Wuhen.

"I am not your master. I don't have slaves like you who eat inside and outside." Afraid of waking up the sleeping woman in the cave, Ji Wuhen lowered his voice. The mist in his eyes became thicker. He waved his long sleeves and directly The remaining five people flew away.

"Master, calm down." Those who were knocked to the ground covered their chests and stood up, kneeling in a row and lowering their heads even further.

"Haha... tell Lin Zhixi that next time, I will burn down her Star Building!!!"

Leaning down to look at the leading man in black, and raising his hand to wipe away the blood from the corner of his mouth, Ji Wuhen smiled in his eyes and slowly raised his thin lips.

"The holy aunt said that if the master insists on protecting her, she has a plan!"
