She closed her eyes tightly, not daring to face it, and just as she was about to jump off the cliff.

A familiar voice sounded beside Xue'er's ears, and the man called out hurriedly; "Xue'er, it's okay."

Xue'er then slowly opened her eyes and saw the man in black lying in a pool of blood beside her.

When she turned around again, she found that Liu Fufeng was already standing beside her. There were also several other masked men in black standing beside Liu Fufeng.

Miss Xueer looked at them with confusion and vigilance.

Liu Fufeng then hurriedly explained, "These are the secret guards in the Prince Jin's Mansion. They came out specially to pick us up."

"It was thanks to them that they rescued me just now." Liu Fufeng spoke to Miss Xue'er in an increasingly gentle voice.

Xue'er's eyes suddenly turned red and she began to sob silently.

Liu Fufeng felt a little guilty and wanted to reach out and hold the person in his arms, but then he thought of something and retracted his hand.

Replace the thousands of words in your heart with one lingering word; "It's my fault for making you unhappy."

Xue'er glared at him, then raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.

He said to Liu Fufeng, "We'll settle today's accounts later. Those people are chasing Mother and Mu Mu. They are in danger."

After saying that, he ran in the direction where Gu Po and Liu Mubai left.

Liu Fufeng and the secret guards chased forward together.

Soon, they found the hairband on Liu Mubai's head and the witch's smelly shoes in a forest.

Liu Fufeng's heart sank and he continued to search in the surrounding direction.

Looking at the broken branches and fallen leaves, it is not difficult to see that a fierce fight has just taken place here.

The secret guards dispersed and began to search for people in the surrounding area.

After searching for a long time, there was no trace of the two people. As the sky gradually darkened, a strong sense of uneasiness rose in Liu Fufeng's heart.

When everyone was anxious.

A secret guard came from somewhere else, and after paying his respects to Liu Fufeng, he reported back, "General Liu, we have already escorted the people you are looking for back to the Liu Mansion safely, so you can rest assured."

Liu Fufeng thought about it and asked someone to buy horses from the nearest place and pull the carriage back.

When Liu Mubai and Gu Po were sent to Liu Mansion.

Liu Yueru came out with people to greet them.

Only two people came back, both of them were in a mess. The old woman who brought Liu Mubai had lost her shoes and her feet were covered in blood.

Looking at the appearance of the old woman in front of her, she could probably guess that the person in front of her must be the witch.

Liu Yueru bowed slightly to the witch and instructed the servant to go out of the house and ask the doctor to come back.

He also asked the servants to bring some water.

As soon as Liu Mubai saw Liu Yueru, he threw himself into her arms.

Liu Yueru took the opportunity to hug her in her arms, and then looked at her carefully, and said with heartache: "You have become thinner and darker, but you look stronger."

Liu Mubai then remembered that he had not greeted Liu Yueru yet, and hurriedly came out of Liu Yueru's arms. After paying his respects, he pulled her aside and said, "Aunt, this is Gu Po's grandmother. She took care of Mu Mu on the way, so Mu Mu could return safely."

Liu Yueru brought the person into the mansion and said to the witch, "My elder brother had already told me about you in his heart, and he had cleaned up the courtyard for you early on. Thank you for following my elder brother from the border area to Kyoto, and for traveling through mountains and rivers for us."

After Liu Yueru finished speaking, she bowed deeply to the witch.

The witch didn't understand these rules, so Liu Mubai came to her rescue. "Aunt, father and Aunt Xue'er haven't come back yet."

"We have already sent people to pick them up. Since those secret guards can find you and bring you back, they can also find them."

The Gu Po was also full of worries. In addition to their safety, there were also the things on the carriage. Without those things, it would take some time to detoxify the people of Kyoto.

The wrinkles on the witch's face became more and more obvious. She spoke with a hoarse voice and some difficulty, "The things are all in the carriage."

Liu Mubai pulled the witch and comforted her silently.

Liu Yueru also knew the things transported by the carriage from the letters exchanged between Liu Fufeng, and was slightly stunned.

There was a hint of disappointment in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it and comforted the witch: "It's okay, as long as the person is safe, there are other ways."

As she spoke, she handed the pills Jiang Yishu had taught her to make to the witch. "We have this restraining pill. If it doesn't work, just take it for a while."

The witch's eyes fell on the pill in Liu Yueru's hand.

She asked Liu Yueru for the pill, then took it in her hand, rubbed it gently, and put the pill to her nose and sniffed it to make sure it was ready to take.

The witch raised her eyes, one of which was filled with tears. She held Liu Yueru's hand with some trembling and asked, "Who told you how to make this pill? Where is he?"

Liu Yueru looked at Gu in confusion, and seeing that she was standing barefoot, she hurriedly asked her to sit down; "Please sit down first, I will send someone to invite that person."

The witch looked down at her own condition. She was in rags, looked utterly dishevelled, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

She held Liu Yueru's hand tightly, and finally sighed softly, with a complicated look in her eyes, and said to her, "Wait a minute, it's better not to see you."

Liu Yueru looked at the witch like this and suddenly thought of something. She asked the servants to take them to wash and change into clean clothes first.

After they came out, the doctor was invited back. He cleaned the wound on the witch's foot, bandaged it, and brought her new shoes to change into.

Liu Yueru then asked with concern, "Master Ye's house is not far from our house. Do you want me to ask someone to call him over?"

When the witch heard that it was Mr. Ye, she frowned and asked, "You said the person who taught you to make this pill was surnamed Ye?"

"Yes." Liu Yueru nodded heavily, and then said; "He is a young man who just came back from the southern region."

"No, how could he make this?" The witch said with some difficulty accepting it.

"Can Mr. Ye come to our house? I have something to ask him." A sad look appeared on the witch's face.

Especially when talking about the south, the witch's face turned paler.

Liu Yueru didn't know what had happened, so she quickly instructed the servants to invite Jiang Yishu.

She soothed him gently, "Don't worry, I'll ask the servants to go get him, and they'll be back soon."

While they were talking, the housekeeper came in with a happy face and reported, "Madam Liu, the eldest master has returned with a girl."

Everyone in the room immediately stood up and rushed outside.

"Brother, you're finally back." Liu Yueru's eyes were slightly red.

Then he looked at the woman on the side. She was wearing a hat and her face could not be seen clearly. Her white dress was stained with dust and blood.

Liu Yueru made a gesture of invitation, signaling everyone to enter the house.

Looking at their departing backs, a sinister gaze not far away became even colder.
