Shen Xixi originally planned to take a short rest and then get up to change Ji Wuhen, but she didn't expect to sleep straight until dawn.

When she opened her eyes again, the darkness had disappeared and her eyes were bright.

The bright sunshine poured in from outside the cave and shone on her body.

After moving her feet, Shen Xixi slowly stood up and was a little confused when she saw that Ji Wuhen was nowhere to be seen.

On the ground, the fire had burned out, leaving ashes on the ground.

Looking at the burned branches on the ground, Shen Xixi speculated that Ji Wuhen had been away for some time.

She moved her steps out of the cave and looked up at the blue sky. A layer of mist appeared in Shen Xixi's eyes.

"Are you awake?" Suddenly, a smiling face stood in front of her.

"You... went to find something to eat?" Shen Xixi's voice was very soft as she looked at the fruit Ji Wuhen was carrying in her robe.

"Well, there is a fruit tree over there. I tasted it and it was very sweet." Pulling Shen Xixi into the cave and sitting down, Ji Wuhen placed a large leaf in his hand on the ground and poured the fruit from his clothes on it. .

"Try it!" He picked out the reddest and largest fruit, wiped it clean and handed it to Shen Xixi's mouth. Ji Wuhen was like a child looking forward to being praised, with light shining in his eyes.

In his anticipation, Shen Xixi slowly stretched out her hand, took the fruit and took a bite.

The next second, a sour taste filled the taste buds.

"How is it?" Seeing her eating, Ji Wuhen asked quickly.

"It's very sweet." Trying her best to control her facial expression, Shen Xixi smiled and finished the fist-sized fruit in Ji Wuhen's expectant eyes.

"Slow down, I just went out to check the situation. The people from last night have almost left. We will go back after eating." Hearing that Shen Xixi liked it, Ji Wuhen felt relieved and sat on the ground to rest.

Seeing his tired look, Shen Xixi picked up the fruit on the leaf and handed it to him.

Different from the one he had just chosen, the fruit in Shen Xixi's hand was the size of a copper coin.

"Sister is so stingy." Ji Wuhen glanced at the fruit on Shen Xixi's fingertips with lowered eyes, and curled her lips to express her dissatisfaction.

"Eat it quickly." Without explanation, Shen Xixi directly stuffed the fruit into Ji Wuhen's mouth.

When I traveled with my mother before, I had seen this kind of fruit. Due to the problem of sunlight exposure and the temperature difference between day and night, I saw this kind of fruit.

The bigger ones are not fully illuminated and are very sour, but the smaller ones are evenly illuminated and have the best sweetness.

After destroying the fruit, the two of them opened the cave, went to a nearby river to wash their cheeks, and then headed back along the way they came.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out of the grass, he was caught by the assassin waiting there.

"Look at her!"

Shen Xixi did not expect that only half an hour later, she and Ji Wuhen would return to the cave again.

The difference from last time was that this time both of their hands and feet were tied with ropes, and their mouths were stuffed with rags.

"Shen Xixi, I just want to ask you one question, where is the treasure map?" The man in black said with a cold voice while the two of them were still on the uneven ground.

"I don't know what you are talking about, I haven't heard it." The rag in her mouth was removed, and Shen Xixi rubbed her bruised wrist to express that she didn't know.

"It seems that if you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with a drink." Seeing that she refused to cooperate, the man in black sneered and took out the saber from his waist.

"Ugh..." Seeing the man in black getting closer and closer to Shen Xixi, Ji Wuhen, who was left not far away, widened his eyes.

Unexpectedly, the voice directly attracted the attention of the man in black, who turned his gaze towards her.

"It's such good luck to meet these two treasures." Looking at Ji Wuhen's beautiful face that didn't look like a real person, the man in black had greed in his eyes.

"You..." Seeing the man in black changing his target and walking towards Ji Wuhen, Shen Xixi's eyes showed worry.

For the first time, I felt that it was a mistake to be too good-looking.

"What are you going to do?" After the barrier was removed, Ji Wuhen felt free in his mouth and looked coldly at the assassin leader standing above.

"It is said that Princess Changning is the only flesh and blood of the former crown prince. Shen Kuo is your father's teacher and was ordered to assist the crown prince. You must also know something about the treasure, right?" He leaned over and looked into Ji Wuhen's deep eyes, and the voice of the man in black Low and dull.

"What are you talking about? I have never heard from my father." In response to the assassin's question, Ji Wuhen frowned, with anger in his eyes.

"Brother, we don't know what you said. There must be a misunderstanding." Afraid that the other party would do something to Ji Wuhen, Shen Xixi suppressed the fear in her heart and spoke with a gentle voice, eager to talk to them.

"If Shen Kuo's daughter doesn't know, and I really don't know, who in the world would know where this treasure is?" Hearing the gentle female voice behind him, the assassin leader turned around and came to Shen Xixi.

"Miss Shen, I hope you can understand that we are a group of extremely vicious people. If you two don't cooperate, it will be very miserable." Putting the saber close to Shen Xixi's delicate face, the assassin leader's voice was cold and threatening.

The moment the cold blade touched her skin, Shen Xixi's body shrank involuntarily, and the memory of being disfigured by Cui Qiao in her previous life suddenly emerged.

"Don't touch sister. If anything happens, come to me." Seeing Shen Xixi's pale face, Ji Wuhen sat up and growled at him.

"Don't worry, Miss Shen, we never engage in loss-making business. The location of the treasure cannot be found, and the same goes for the two of them."

Smiling towards Ji Wuhen, the assassin leader knelt down and put his cold fingers on Shen Xixi's neck, the implication of which was obvious.

Hearing this, the assassins around him burst into laughter.

"You are all heroes. If you embarrass two helpless women like this, it will only make people laugh." Seeing that she was too soft to do anything, Shen Xixi closed her eyes and said coldly.

"...Miss Shen, there is no need to provoke the brothers with those words and kill you. Who will know what is happening here?"

Hearing Shen Xixi's words, the assassin leader laughed, stood up and waved to the people behind him.

Then the two of them walked out, slowly approaching Ji Wuhen who was lying on the ground with a lewd smile on his face.

"You... stop!" Seeing the two of them grabbing Ji Wuhen's struggling hands and feet and pushing him to the ground, Shen Xixi shouted.

"Miss Shen, can't you remember?" The assassin leader, who stood with his hands behind his back, looked at everything that happened in front of him quietly and looked up at her.

"You...can't do this to her. She is a princess, and reinforcements from the palace will be back soon. If you...hurt her, you will die."

Seeing Ji Wuhen struggling to no avail and having his hands and feet tied up by two people, Shen Xixi's heart was as sharp as a knife.

There was a sound of "tearing", and Ji Wuhen's clothes were torn by the two of them, revealing her skin as clear as mutton-fat jade.

"Sister..." On the ground, Ji Wuhen's jade-white cheeks were already stained with dirt. Thinking of what she was about to face, she turned her head to look at Shen Xixi, biting her lips tightly, and a string of crystals appeared in the corners of her eyes. Big teardrops.

"That's enough. I said I don't know. It doesn't make any sense for you to do this. She is just a girl who doesn't know anything. Where is your conscience when you attack her?"

Seeing Ji Wuhen's tears, Shen Xixi's eyes turned red and she closed her eyes and shouted at the man in black.
