Xin Yi grabbed Fu Jiuqu's wrist.

Fu Jiuqu's fingers froze. The two of them were very close to each other. The worry naturally revealed in the little lady's eyes made his heart beat subconsciously.

"fine."

"With such a deep wound and soaked in water, how can it be okay?"

Xin Yi touched his body, but there was nothing. He looked around and found a spinach plant in the grass beside the pool. He washed it with the pool water, chewed it in his mouth, and applied it to his wound.

He pulled out a piece of cloth along his torn clothes and bandaged him.

"Stop the bleeding first and wait until we get out."

Fu Jiuqu frowned and looked at her pretty face.

"I'm afraid I can't get out now."

"Ah!" Xin Yi raised his head in surprise, with a puzzled look on his face.

Fu Jiuqu said: "The terrain here is dangerous. The villa was built extremely cleverly. There is no way out. I just managed to climb up with a triangular anchor, but now the triangular anchor is left on the cliff..."

"..."

Xin Yi took a deep breath and looked at him in disbelief.

"Then how did you find me?"

"The mark you left is all the medicine powder."

Xin Yi felt a little surprised.

When she was caught on the carriage, she was lying on the ground with her back cut, and she had no chance to leave a mark. But it happened that she happened to have a bottle of medicinal powder with her, and she had someone specially make it for her.

Unique to Xinyi Medicine Shop, the shape of the leaking spout refers to the bottles used to hold pepper noodles in later generations, with only a thin layer of powder...

At that time, she was thrown onto the carriage, the medicine bottle rolled out and got stuck on the carriage shaft, the stopper was rubbed off, and the powder was just shaken out, without attracting anyone's attention.

She didn't expect Fu Jiuqu to find her through this.

"This is so unbelievable. I can't believe it!"

Fu Jiuqu lowered his eyes slightly, "Sister-in-law, you have made a great contribution."

He couldn't find any evidence of Zhang Lu, so he decided to stage the execution scene. But even if he instigated Du Zhongqing's rebellion, just relying on a few witnesses was still not enough for Zhang Lu's identity...

In fact, Xin Yi was right. Zhang Lu would not have ended up like this if he had been able to keep his composure. It was just that he was angered by Fu Jiuqu, felt guilty as a thief, was afraid and panicked, kidnapped Xin Yi, and exposed his hideout.

"Now the evidence is conclusive, let's see how he can get away with it."

"Then why did you come alone?" Xin Yi asked in confusion.

"I can't wait." Fu Jiuqu didn't explain that he just grabbed the horse and left. He just wanted to grab time to save people. He didn't have time to think about so many things. What's more, Zhang Lu had hostages in hand, so how could he send troops there?

Risking her life?

Fu Jiuqu looked away, not wanting to talk more about this topic, and dragged her away.

"Find a safe place first and wait for Cai Qi to bring someone to pick him up."

Xin Yi looked around, "Is there a safe place here?"

Fu Jiuqu frowned, "It's hard to say."

Xin Yi said nothing and followed him obediently without saying a word.

At this moment, her wrist was being held by Fu Jiuqu. Although she knew that this was a special period and the two of them were comrades in need, and there was no love between men and women, she still couldn't help but her heartbeat quickened and her face turned red...

She never felt that she was a weak woman, but her body was too petite. Walking next to the tall Prince Guangling, she looked like a poor peach blossom in the rain, which was indescribably weird...

"I have no strength left."

In order to ease the embarrassment, Xin Yi talked about his situation and experiences just now.

"There was incense burning in that room. Maybe it was because of the incense. I had a lot of strength, but suddenly I lost it, as if I had taken Ruanjin Powder... Also, there were many women in that village. I doubted that they were related to Wen

The appearance is the same, both were captured by Zhang Lu..."

Fu Jiuqu hummed and lowered his head suddenly.

"He didn't assault you, did he?"

Xin Yi's heart skipped a beat and he folded his clothes, "You've seen it all."

The answer was very vague, but she said that what Fu Jiuqu saw was everything and the most accurate.

As the moon rises above the sky, everything is silent.

It was quiet all around, and you could clearly hear the birds entering the forest and the chirping of insects and frogs.

The two didn't speak for a long time.

Xin Yi was just dragged by his wrist and walked forward, not knowing the direction, one step deeper and one shallower. It was extremely painful to follow him. He didn't know how long he walked. The sound of water gradually came to his ears, and Fu Jiuqu stopped.

"We're back again."

"..." Xin Yi's whole body was sore and she no longer wanted to speak.

Even more unwilling to accept this unfortunate result.

There was a lot of noise on the mountain, and there was a faint fire coming from the direction of Zhuangzi. I don’t know what happened...

Fu Jiuqu looked at it for a moment, then asked Xin Yi sideways, "Can I still leave?"

Xin Yi hummed weakly and secretly pressed his toes on the ground, feeling that the soles of his feet were blistering.

"Turn around." Fu Jiuqu suddenly spoke, very abruptly.

Xin Yi squinted his eyes and looked over in confusion, and saw Fu Jiuqu's face was calm and emotionless, with a serious look on his face. Although he didn't know what he was going to do, he still followed the instructions and turned his head to the other side.

"Sister-in-law, you're too abrupt." Fu Jiuqu's voice was very low. He seemed to hesitate for a moment, then leaned over and hugged Xin Yi.

Xin Yi didn't react for a moment.

But she didn't struggle.

They had already hugged each other when they jumped off the cliff, and it was too late to be pretentious now. Moreover, she was indeed tired and exhausted. If she walked into another unknown like this again, she didn't want to suffer the sin again.

However, she was not so calm.

Seeing that Fu Jiuqu remained silent and hesitated for a moment, she couldn't help but asked with concern: "Isn't the prince tired?"

"I'm thick-skinned."

Hearing the answer from Prince Guangling, Xin Yi almost laughed out loud.

"I believe what others say, but I don't believe what the prince says. The prince has been pampered since he was a child. Even if he practices martial arts, he rarely endures hardship..."

"Shut your mouth, I will be less tired." Fu Jiuqu's voice came in a low voice.

The two of them were so close that his breath seemed to fall on Xin Yi's neck. Xin Yi made a sound and cleared his throat awkwardly. In order to reduce Fu Jiuqu's burden, he took the initiative to put his arms around his neck and put his body in his arms.

Moved.

Fu Jiuqu glanced at her and hummed.

The two people's bodies were close to each other, and it was very uncomfortable to have their soaked clothes sticking to their bodies. Xin Yi was a little awkward at first, but soon he was comforted by the hot body temperature, and his clammy body felt much better.

The wind is gentle and warm, the night is blurry, and the mountains and forests seem to have no end.

Xin Yi could see that Fu Jiuqu was walking in desolate places. He was probably afraid that Zhang Lu's people would find him before Cai Qi, so he was very cautious when traveling.

After walking for too long, Fu Jiuqu was extremely silent tonight and didn't say a word.

Xin Yi's thoughts were twisting and turning, from nervousness to boredom, and he gradually felt sleepy.

Although she knew it was unkind, this embrace was too warm and safe. She really couldn't resist Duke Zhou's temptation, and finally fell asleep on Fu Jiuqu's shoulder.

…

The ticking sound of falling spring water is long and distant.

When Xin Yi woke up, what he saw was a nosebleeding scene.

This is a cave, with hay, tables, chairs and other items left in it, but most of them are dilapidated. It seems that hunters lived there a long time ago.

Fu Jiuqu lit a fire and was baking clothes.

The robe is loosely draped, and the skirt is slightly open, revealing a strong chest. There is no big bulging muscles all over the body, but it is strong and strong, like a powerful leopard...

The bright firelight shone on his body, and Xin Yi's eyes slowly went down from his shoulders, neck, and his cheeks were hot, as if his body was about to be cooked by the fire...

"Sister-in-law, are you awake?"

Fu Jiuqu pulled up his clothes and looked at her with slightly squinted eyes.

Xin Yi's eyes were caught by him, and before he could calm down his surprise, he felt a little embarrassed.

"Sorry, I fell asleep. W-where is this?"

She looked around as if she hadn't peeked at anyone just now.

"Cave." Fu Jiuqu's voice was cold, then he stood up and glanced at Xin Yi.

"Get up and dry your clothes, I'll keep watch outside."
