Yangyang also placed her hands on Tang Yuwei's hands that were covering her eyes, and followed him up step by step. Although she was still afraid, she felt much more at ease knowing that Tang Yuwei was by her side. "You are not injured again, are you?"

"No!" Tang Yuwei hugged Yangyang and gradually walked away from the corpses before he released his hands that were covering her eyes.

However, Yangyang was just unaware of the light, and before he could see Tang Yuwei's face clearly, he fell down again due to exhaustion.

"Tang Yuwei! Tang Yuwei! Wake up..."

…………

When he woke up again, it was already late at night, and a bonfire was lit next to him.

"Where is this?" Tang Yuwei forced himself to stand up.

Outside the thatched hut, Yangyang was approaching carefully with a tattered earthen bowl carrying some clean water.

Seeing that Tang Yuwei finally woke up, Yangyang was overjoyed and held the bowl of water, squatting beside him, "Hurry, drink some clean water, this is from the stream, I just ran a long way to find it!"

Yangyang looked up, with twinkling eyes and the bonfire, which made Tang Yuwei fascinated.

But if you look closely, "What's wrong with your hands?"

"It's okay! It's just that you're too heavy. It took me some effort to get you to this thatched cottage!" Yangyang smiled innocently and said a few perfunctorily, "Hurry up and drink this water! Otherwise, it would be a waste of my trip!"

Yangyang handed over the bowl and busied himself adding a few more firewood to the campfire.

Tang Yuwei had no choice but to take the water and drink it all. He leaned towards Yangyang and grabbed Yangyang's hand.

Maybe he was still very strong, Yangyang was pulled and the wound on his shoulder was affected, and he let out a "hiss"!

"Do you have other injuries on your body?" Tang Yuwei saw the clue.

"No! No!" Yangyang pulled his hand away and muttered, "It's you, you're too strong!"

"Sorry!" Although Tang Yuwei was suspicious, he suppressed his doubts.

As my eyes turned, I saw the loose branches and vines at the door, which looked like they were newly tied.

Looking at Yangyang picking up branches in an awkward manner, he seemed to understand how she dragged him to this thatched hut.

"Come and lie down! You can't leave tonight!" Tang Yuwei patted the haystack beside him!

"Lie down?" Yangyang's face was red under the firelight. Then she thought of Tang Yuwei asking her to lie down beside him. "No, I'll just sit here! You should get some rest!"

He was almost starving, yet he still had the mind to think about these things. Yangyang was really amused by his own filthiness.

Tang Yuwei was also like that. Although he couldn't help wanting to laugh, he still said, "There might be some wolves, tigers or leopards out there at night. If you sit there, what if a big tiger jumps in and takes you away?"

"Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?" Yangyang pouted with doubt. But what he feared came true. Suddenly, the sound of wolves howling came from outside, and they barked a few times.

Yangyang thought of the killers during the day again, and suddenly felt his whole body trembling!

"I'm not afraid, but what you said makes sense!" Yangyang said cunningly, and then he crawled to the haystack next to Tang Yuwei and lay down, closing his eyes and said angrily, "Then go to sleep! You won't be hungry after you sleep!"

"Humph!" Tang Yuwei couldn't help but sigh and blame himself, "I won't do that again!"

"What can't I do?" Although Yangyang closed her eyes, she was just deceiving herself. She couldn't fall asleep at all.

"I will never let you go through such danger again!"

Speaking of this, Yangyang could no longer pretend to close his eyes. He sat up and looked at Tang Yuwei who was leaning against the wall. "Those people today could not have been sent by General Jia Kuizhuo!"

"Of course not!" Tang Yuwei's eyes darkened, but he turned to look at Yangyang, "Why are you so sure?"

"Of course it was the last time he was kidnapped in Xiaoyou Garden. He told me that from my grandfather's lineage, he could be considered my uncle!"

Yangyang no longer concealed it and looked straight at Tang Yuwei.

"It's not just because he said he was my uncle, but also because he didn't even kill Ji Ming. It shows that he is not a person who kills innocent people indiscriminately!"

"That's what I think!" Tang Yuwei quietly held Yangyang's hand. "How could a group of killers reveal their identities so easily?"

"Oh! You are testing them on purpose." Yangyang said happily, "If they admit it, even if they can't kill us, they can still sow discord among us!"

"If it wasn't the person who was in Wanhua Tower last night, then who could it be? It looks like he came here specifically to kill me?" Yangyang thought to himself.

Tang Yuwei nodded. "Last night, the people from Wanhua Tower were the ones who wanted to assassinate the crown prince. They were either His Highness Xuanyi or someone connected to the palace. Today, these people came straight for you. Even the poisoned dart that hit me was..."

"You wanted to kill me too?" Yangyang frowned and lowered his head to think.

Tang Yuwei thought that the killer today might be the same person who killed Jiang Zhiang! But he didn't want to tell Yangyang because these things were too dangerous.

But Yangyang is not stupid. Xuanyi would not go to such lengths to get rid of her. After getting rid of her, there is only one possibility, "Are you here for my identity?"

"Go to sleep!" Tang Yuwei leaned forward and moved closer to Yangyang.

Although Tang Yuwei did not answer directly, Yangyang already understood in her heart, so she rested her head on Tang Yuwei's shoulder and closed her eyes, finally finding some peace for a moment.

"If it's so dangerous, do you still want to go to Rong Country?"

"Didn't you tell me to sleep? Why are you asking again!" Yangyang muttered with his eyes closed.

Tang Yuwei smiled dotingly and stroked Yangyang's hair. "No matter what, I won't let you go!"

"Yeah!" Yangyang smiled knowingly, "I know! That's why I'm not afraid of anything!"

"Haha!" Tang Yuwei leaned his head on Yangyang's, "Just like this! Then I understand, the more rude you are to me, the closer you are to me?"

"It's not impossible for you to attack on your own like this!"

"Self-strategy?"

"Go to sleep!" Yangyang said softly, and she really fell asleep because she felt at ease.

Only at this time did Tang Yuwei dare to gently lift the clothes on Yangyang's shoulders and take a look. In the dim light, there were faint traces of blood from friction on the shoulders, each one was shocking!

Tang Yuwei kissed Yangyang on the forehead and vowed secretly that he would never let Yangyang be in such danger again.

Thinking about these things, he couldn't fall asleep that night!

The next morning, before Yangyang woke up, there were footsteps outside the hut. Tang Yuwei knew what was going on by listening to the footsteps.

"General," Jiang Chi rushed into the hut rashly, anxious and worried, but he saw... he suddenly turned around and waved his hand to shout at other officers and soldiers not to come in.

Then he said, "General, I am late."

Tang Yuwei hummed softly, indicating that Yangyang beside him had not woken up yet.

After he helped Yangyang to lie down slowly, he followed Jiang Chi outside the house and asked, "How is the interrogation of the prince's assassin going?"

Jiang Chi said, "They are all assassins, why don't you say anything! But..."

"But what?"

"The official who used the letter to identify Lord Xue and Jiang Zhiang died in prison. He committed suicide!" Jiang Chi gritted his teeth.
