Enter Chang Xiangsi and help Jingzhai fight

I grabbed Gui Fang's sword, and he yelled "Hey" again. He didn't know whether to stop or not. He said to me, "We agreed on something, but you changed your mind again. Aren't you afraid that I will take you away and torture you in all kinds of ways?"

I smiled crookedly and said, "I'm not afraid of death, so do you think I'm afraid of you? If you put away your sword, I will find another way. You can't defend yourself against someone who is determined to die."

He rolled his eyes and looked like he was afraid of you.

Jun Yi thought for a moment, put away his sword, took out a whistle and blew it. The soldiers fighting near him looked at him puzzledly and asked, "Sir?"

Jun Yi blew the whistle fiercely again, and the sounds of weapons in the camp and the cave gradually stopped, leaving only the dry grass and branches ignited by the stray fire arrows burning fiercely.

In full view of everyone, I walked to the center of the camp.

I saw that the fat guy was injured, so I took out the small medicine bottle that my elder brother gave me, walked up to him and said loudly: "Brother, take care of yourself! I will go with them, see you later!"

The fat man was a little confused, but still took my small medicine bottle.

I whispered again, "Run west and don't look back. Keep running until you reach Qingshui Town."

He nodded, clutched the small medicine bottle, and whispered, "I'll remember that. You...you should take care of yourself too."

I said loudly again: "Thank you, brother. I won't ride your horse anymore. I'm so hungry and skinny that I can hardly walk. I'll just ride their horse!"

After that, I turned back to Jun Yi and asked, "Where's the horse? I want to ride one that won't shake!"

Jun Yi glanced at me and raised his hand. A soldier silently led a fat and strong white horse over.

I rolled and crawled onto the horse, and Gui Fangduan burst out laughing when he saw this.

I glanced at him and said to Jun Yi, "Let's go."

Jun Yi waved his hand and said, "Retreat!" Then he led a group of soldiers back home.

We walked for three days and finally returned to Chenyi City in the evening of the third day. Along the way, Gui Fangduan kept pestering me to tell him stories. At first, I told him some chivalrous stories, but later, I was pestered by him so much that I only picked the scariest ghost stories from Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio to tell him. Not only was he not afraid, he even asked me for details, such as how to kill ghosts and how ghosts harm people. I rolled my eyes countless times. This kid was actually training his professional skills here.

After entering the city of Chenyi, Jun Yi took me to a luxurious hotel without stopping. Gui Fangduan also followed me into the front hall and was given a seat.

After drinking a pot of steaming hot Jin Jun Mei tea, I was almost getting impatient when I saw Xuan coming back from outside the inn, exhausted.

He was wearing a navy blue brocade robe with dark gold patterns, and a carved gold crown on his head with a sapphire in the middle. He still had a stern look, but looked a little more haggard than when I first met him, and there was a hint of fatigue between his brows.

He hurried into the front hall, glanced around, sat down and opened his lips slightly: "What do you mean?"

Gui Fang stood up and bowed: "Your Highness, we are halfway through our mission and have found something more important. Jun and I dare not delay any longer and will quickly lead our people back to report."

Xuan looked at Junyi, and Junyi walked up to him and whispered in his ear.

I saw his expression change drastically, his hand tightly grasped the teacup, and then loosened it. His eyes were like knives, cutting straight at me: "But is it true?!"

I accepted his glare, took a sip of tea slowly, and said, "She's still alive."

Xuan stood up suddenly, looking like she was about to cry, but then she calmed down and asked me, trying to suppress her emotions: "How do I know you're not lying to me?! There are many people in the world who know that I went to see her."

I looked straight at him: "I want to see Senying and Xiaowei."

Jun Yi stepped forward and shouted, "The Lord is asking you a question! How dare you talk about something else?!"

I blew away the steam from the tea and said leisurely, "He has someone he cares about, and so do I. He must know the feeling better than I do!"

Xuanxuan fell back onto the carved wooden chair and shouted, "Jun Yi! Go and invite him!"

Jun did not dare to stay for a moment longer. He quickly ran out of the front hall and went to the backyard.

Xuan's eyes were red as if blood was about to drip out, staring straight at me, I pretended not to know and turned my head to glance at Gui Fangduan.

He watched the show with great interest, drinking hot tea in small sips. When he saw me looking at him, he grinned.

Soon, Jun Yi came hurriedly with Mori Ying, who was wearing a black cloak, and Xiao Wei, who was wearing a pink jacket. Xiao Wei saw that it was me from a distance and ran in, shouting, "Auntie - Ruiyang! Xiao Wei missed you so much!"

The forest warbler looked pale, with slightly red eyes. It looked at me with trembling lips.

I touched her pigtails and asked, "Xiao Wei, are you okay? Have you recovered? Your thorns..."

Xiaowei hugged my arm tightly and replied, "Xiaowei, it's okay! This brother asked the doctor to check my wound and apply medicine to it, and also gave me some magical medicine. My wound is almost healed, and I just need to wait for the thorn that was pulled out to grow back!"

I patted her back, my eyes sore, and said, "That's good, that's good!"

Then I looked at Mori Ying who walked in and asked, "How are you...?"

Sen Ying pinched the fur collar of her cloak, bit her lip, and whispered, "Thank you for your concern. Sen Ying is already a damaged person, so it doesn't matter whether it's good or not."

I thought she probably hadn't come out of the shadow yet, and needed me to persuade and comfort her later. It was difficult for me to say anything in front of so many men at this time, so I just nodded.

Xuan said, "Mr. Bai is truly a man of integrity and righteousness. He used 1,000 taels of gold to redeem me. I wonder where you, a poor family, got so much money."

I let go of Xiao Wei and looked at him, smiling, "We may be broke, but our hometown is not. We can still borrow some from relatives and neighbors if we want."

Xuan snorted coldly and said, "Yes, Mr. Bai was busy borrowing money and didn't even show up. I guess he ran away with the 1,000 taels of gold, right?"

I replied, "Don't worry, sir. I will pay it back to him when I get back."

He glared and said, "You still want to leave later?!"

I smiled and said, "Why can't I leave?"

He stood up again and said loudly, "Okay, now that you've met the people, it's time to get down to business, right? Jun Yi, take them away first. I want to ask him a question."

This sentence made him grit his teeth.

Jun Yi led Xiao Wei, Sen Ying, and the reluctant Gui Fang down.

Xuan hurriedly walked up to me, stared at me from head to toe, and said, "Tell me, where is she? How is she doing? How did you know?"

I looked up at him and replied, "She's doing fine. Although she's not rich, she's very peaceful. You know, peace is the most precious thing to her."
