Beautiful scenery of water and mountains, and fireworks in the daytime.

The literati and poets just regarded it as a way to add fun to the gathering and make it more lively.

But at this moment, Zijing Mountain is on the edge of a cliff.

Seeing the warning signal, the secret guard frowned and said, "According to the time, Young Marquis Xie should have arrived at Shanya Garden, ready to bring Xiao Jingyue to pretend to be His Highness to keep his appointment with Shanniang."

"Why did the plan change suddenly?"

As he spoke, the secret guard followed the black-robed king's cold gaze and saw that on the mountainside, Shan Niang was smearing the poison sent by old butler Xu on the hidden weapon.

"Where are they?" The black-robed king suddenly spoke in a hoarse voice.

"According to the Lord's order, ten people have been hiding beside His Highness under different identities." The secret guard was confident: "At this moment, with the fireworks going off in broad daylight, they must have received the warning and quickly protected His Highness. With their skills, they will definitely be able to keep His Highness safe."

The secret guard said firmly: "Please rest assured, my lord."

As the sun gradually set, the black-robed king clenched the hilt of the sword engraved with "Life and Death". The afterglow of the sun passed across his sharp eyebrows, but could not dispel the bone-chilling coldness.

"You will be in charge of the aftermath here." The black-robed king did not dare to think too much. What if he let his guard down and missed the chance to save Abao?

The black robe swept past the treetops, whistling in the mountain wind.

It was also at this moment that A Bao took Zhang Lanheng to track Xuan Ji's secret code.

Starting from the back gate of Shanya Garden, they turned around hills and cemeteries along the way, and staggered awkwardly until they entered the even more rugged and difficult Zijing Mountain.

The mountain trail was littered with fallen leaves from late autumn and the ground was covered with ripe autumn fruits. After being soaked by the rain of the past few days, waves of unpleasant and pungent smells of decay hit him in the face. A Bao felt uncomfortable in his stomach, and he covered his nose, staggering along with difficulty, taking one deep step and one shallow step.

However, this quiet forest path seems to have no end.

Just when Po was about to lose his mind, he finally saw the mountain hunting lodge in the distance.

However, the Pei family's shadow guards were patrolling everywhere.

Xuanji was nowhere to be seen.

As Po was worried, he approached with overwhelming pressure.

Her heart tightened as she turned back, but she breathed a sigh of relief: "Uncle Emperor!!"

The next moment, Xuan Ji popped her head out from behind the black-robed King Quan: "Hey! King Feng Ran is reliable!! I was almost discovered, and he saved me!"

But before he finished speaking, Xuanji discovered.

A Bao was as if he had been pardoned, and hugged her with red eyes.

Xuanji's panicked heartbeat finally slowly calmed down.

In fact, they are all very afraid of hurting each other.

After a long silence, Xuanji patted Abao on the back and consoled him with a smile, "It's okay! Life must be thrilling and exciting to make it worthwhile."

However, all I heard was A-Bao saying indignantly: "But this is too exciting!"

After he finished speaking, Xuan Ji was hugged even tighter by A Bao.

Xuanji felt warm in her heart and said jokingly with a smile: "You hug me so tightly, King Feng Ran will be jealous! What if he doesn't save me next time?"

Hearing this, the black-robed king immediately regretted it.

Just now, if he had come earlier.

There is no need for his Abao to worry so much.

At this moment, the corners of A Bao's eyes were red. He clearly wanted to cry, but he held back his tears and smiled, "As my legitimate husband, he should be more generous!"

The innocent black-robed king had complicated thoughts: "..."

At this time, Zhang Lanheng, who had been secretly observing everywhere, came back.

He picked up a branch and drew a shadow guard diagram on the ground.

Ah Bao secretly rubbed his sore eyes, took a deep breath, and calmed himself down. Then he pointed to the hunting lodge in the distance and said in a low voice, "The person Pei Guichen said he met is very important."

However, when Xuanyuan Fengran dealt with the Pei family's shadow guard at the back door, A Bao and his group squatted on the firewood pile in the corner to eavesdrop, but they did not expect that the so-called important person that Pei Guichen came to see in person was actually a one-eyed hunter with unshaven beard and unkempt hair.

The one-eyed hunter had a bruised face and wounds all over his body.

It was obvious that he had been severely tortured.

Pei family shadow guard: "Speak! Tell me everything you know!!"

Upon hearing this, and thinking of the cruel punishment he had suffered before, the one-eyed hunter trembled all over and cried out incoherently: "I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything!!"

"That year, the eldest brother and his brothers wanted to go to Jiangnan City and rob a few wealthy families. Unexpectedly, an epidemic broke out, so the eldest brother had to take us back to the village to hide."

"But who knew that we would be unlucky enough to encounter a flash flood again."

"What's worse is that after escaping the flash flood, we were trapped in this mountain and wandered around for several days without food or water. We almost starved to death."

"Then the ruined temple appeared, and there was smoke from the fire!"

"The boss said that no matter what, we should kill the man and roast him!"

"Who knew that once we went in, ouch!"

"In the middle of nowhere! I can actually see two such pretty girls!"

"Looking at the same height, they should be about the same age."

At the table, Pei Guichen, with cold and sinister eyes, suddenly sneered.

He tapped the table with his fingertips and looked at the shadow guard.

The shadow guard understood and asked sternly, "What do the two girls look like? Tell me in detail! If you dare to lie even a word, your wife hiding in the cellar will die!"

The shadow guard's gloomy threats frightened the one-eyed hunter so much that he kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"I dare not! What I said is true!"
