The second prince who was far away in the capital received a letter from the south.

"Crack——"

After reading the letter, the second prince became furious and waved his sleeves and swept the teacup on the table to the ground, scattering broken porcelain pieces on the ground.

"It's so hard, I don't believe it. He fell from such a high cliff and still survived!" The second prince said with a ferocious face, "Come here, take Pei Mo's portrait and hurry up and rush to the south!"

It turned out that the staff member was suspicious by nature, and the fairy couple in Orion's mouth reminded him of the 'dead' Pei Mo couple whose bodies could not be found.

The messenger lost two horses and finally arrived in the south within half a day, delivering the second prince's message and documents into the hands of his staff.

The hunter was closely guarded and no one was allowed to approach.

At this time, the staff came to him, spread out Pei Mo's portrait and asked, "Is this the man you saw on the mountain?"

Orion only glanced at it and nodded sharply, "Yes, that's him!"

"But when I saw him, he was wearing the same shabby clothes as me. He was not as elegant as in this portrait."

The portrait shows Pei Mo wearing the official uniform of a first-grade military attache, which is so lifelike.

Orion saw Pei Mo in a dusty state, but he could not hide his majestic aura. Because he was deeply impressed, Orion only took one look at the portrait and could answer in the affirmative.

The staff member sneered, "Okay, very good!"

Orion thought that the staff in front of him was praising him, so he asked overjoyed, "I told the truth, can the great master let me and my family go!"

The staff member glanced at the hunter on the ground and smiled, "Of course, you did a good job. I will send someone to take you out of here right away."

"Thank you sir, thank you sir!"

Orion kowtowed repeatedly, got up with joy and was about to rush out of the cell.

Unexpectedly, a foot-long sharp sword penetrated his chest, and blood spurted out.

"Sir, sir, you..."

Orion still wanted to look back at the aide who stabbed him, but the sharp sword passed through his heart impartially, and he didn't even have a chance to struggle. He fell straight to the ground with his eyes wide open.

Orion never understood until his death why he could not escape even though he told the truth.

The staff looked at the corpse on the ground and sneered, "Come here, pull the corpse down and let the family reunite underground."

The only fault is that you met someone you shouldn't have met, the staff member said in his heart.

It was written in the second prince's document that no matter whether the couple was Pei Mo and Murong Qing or not, Pei Mo must die, and the hunter who had seen them must die as well.

Pei Moqian should never have blocked the second prince's way!

The staff member's face was dark and unclear, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After confirming that the people in the mountain were Pei Mo and his wife, the second prince's secret guards were dispatched again.

At night, under the oil lamp, Murong Qing was still mending Pei Mo's clothes.

For some reason, her right eyelid kept twitching, so Murong Qing raised her hand and rubbed her eyes.

Pei Mo was making pickles on the side and noticed that Murong Qing rubbed his eyes several times, "Madam, what's wrong with your eyes? If you're tired, don't sew. It's just a piece of clothing. If it breaks, I'll hunt some prey for money and buy it again."

Murong Qing shook his head, "It's okay. It's just a few injections away. It will be fine soon."

Pei Mo nodded and sped up the movements at hand, "Okay, madam, let's rest early today. It's been a busy day."

Soon, the candles in the stone house were extinguished, and the silent forest fell into darkness.

But the forest didn't seem so quiet tonight. From time to time, there were birds flying and small animals running around.

"Gu Gu Gu——"

The unnamed bird stood on the treetops and chirped. Pei Mo woke up in the room and wondered why the birds were so noisy tonight.

He couldn't sleep, so he hugged the lady in his arms, and his thoughts began to drift away.

At this time, the breeze brought strange noises around.

Pei Mo's ears twitched slightly, and he felt wary. Was it an auditory hallucination?

He carefully identified what noise he heard.

Soon, he heard the slight sound of branches breaking and slow footsteps. Someone was approaching their stone house!

And a large number of people!

Pei Mo's pupils trembled, the hairs on his body stood up, and a chill rose up his spine. He didn't know that this was his unique sense of danger that he had gained from many years of service in the army.

But after he was slightly panicked, he quickly calmed down. He shook Murong Qing beside him and said, "Madam, someone is coming."

Murong Qing was sleepy and didn't understand Pei Mo's words, "What?"

Pei Mo stood up and quickly put on a coat for her, and said to her solemnly, "Hurry up and hide in the cellar. Don't come out. No matter what sound you hear, don't come out!"

Murong Qing noticed his nervousness and suddenly lost his sleepiness. He seemed to have something to say in his heart, "Husband, did something happen? Who is here?"

"I don't know." Pei Mo said, "Don't be afraid, madam. Hide in the cellar and don't come out. My husband can handle it."

With that said, he lifted up the floor tiles and stuffed Murong Qing into the cellar, his trembling hands showing his nervousness.

Before Murong Qing could react, the floor tiles above her head slammed shut, the last trace of light disappeared, and she fell into darkness.

"No, husband, I don't want it!"

Murong Qing once again thought of the dark time in prison, and knocked on the heavy floor tiles and shouted.

Pei Mo's heart felt like a knife as he listened to these crying words. He swallowed the blockage in his throat and said, "Madam, listen to me. I dug another exit in the cellar. You go forward. Don't look back. Don't look back.

, believe me, I will find you."

"Husband..."

"Let's go quickly, madam."

Pei Mo urged harshly, then lifted up the big stone jar for pickling sauerkraut and pressed down on the floor tile.

The sound in his ears was getting closer and closer. Pei Mo didn't care too much. He stepped on the stone jar and climbed up the inner wall of the chimney, trying to climb out of the stone house through the chimney.

Murong Qing could no longer hear Pei Mo's voice.

Touching her throbbing heart, she quickly guessed that someone was coming to kill them. She forced herself to overcome her fear and walked forward in the dark.

She mentally comforted herself that she could survive even if she fell off a cliff as high as Pei Mo. If she had to believe in her husband, he would definitely find her nearby!

Thinking about it, Murong Qing walked alone in the darkness with her hot energy. The cellar became narrower and narrower as she walked. Soon, she could only crawl in the cellar.

When digging the cellar, Pei Mo subconsciously dug two exits, one in the house and one far away outside the fence. The cellar became narrower and narrower as he went, so narrow that only a petite person like Murong Qing could pass through.

.

Preparing for a rainy day was originally practiced in the capital city through the mediation between jackals, tigers and leopards. If it weren't for these darkness, no one would be willing to do anything but find a way out for themselves.

Not long after, a group of men in black surrounded the stone house.

The man in black held the handle of the knife behind his back, and the tip of the knife glowed coldly under the moonlight, which was almost cold enough to penetrate people's hearts.
