Chapter 545 She really didn't recognize him anymore.

The masked man stood steadily opposite her, his eyes filled with joy. He smiled but did not make a move, waiting for Jiang Fenghua's sword to approach before he turned and instantly grabbed her wrist.

Jiang Fenghua frowned, furious. What did the other party mean? Weren't they here to arrest her?

The next moment, voices came from behind, and the masked man easily put his arm around Jiang Fenghua's waist and went up to the pavilion.

Jiang Fenghua was caught off guard by this move. Just as she was about to attack him, the masked man said directly, "Don't cause trouble if you don't want to be discovered."

Jiang Fenghua was completely dumbfounded. Was she making a scene? Weren't they the ones who kept stalking them?

Wait, his accent? He's from the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Only then did she see two men coming into the alley. The men walked back and forth in the alley, and after a moment they walked forward again.

Jiang Fenghua felt his arms tighten around her waist, pulling them so close that she could hear his rapid heartbeat and soft breathing.

Suddenly, the sword in her hand was pressed against the masked man's neck. "Let go." Regardless of whether the other person was friend or foe, being held by a man made her feel extremely awkward.

Suddenly, the masked man removed his mask, revealing a handsome face. He stared intently at her, his eyes filled with deep affection.

He even wanted to touch her face, but then he remembered that she might have forgotten him and refrained.

Jiang Fenghua stared at his face with a calm expression. Although he was very handsome, it did not hinder her from bringing the sword closer to his neck. With just a little force, she was sure he would die on the spot.

However, the other party showed no fear whatsoever, his breathing was perfectly steady, and he didn't even put up any defense.

If Jiang Fenghua wanted to kill him, it would be an easy task.

She thought to herself: Isn't he afraid she'll kill him?

Xie Shang suddenly spoke up, "Go ahead and do it if you're willing!" She really didn't recognize him anymore.

Jiang Fenghua was defeated because he didn't reveal his weapon. She cursed, "You're crazy."

She told herself: She had no grudge against him, so why should she kill him? If she really had to kill him, why couldn't she bear to? She didn't even know him. So she should just kill him!

She pushed him, "Let me go! Who are you? Why are you stopping me? And... and kidnapping me!"

Xie Shang saw that her eyes were clear and there was no trace of pretense. She really didn't recognize him anymore and had completely forgotten him.

Xie Shang had thought about this question countless times: how should he face Jiang Fenghua when he saw her again, after all the bad things he had done to her?

Seeing no hatred or love in her eyes, only calculation and cunning, she realized that she had completely forgotten her past life, the pain of her previous existence, and the two lifetimes of love between him and her.

When they met again, he assumed they were destined to be together for three lifetimes. He said, "We've known each other for many years, it's just that you don't remember me."

Jiang Fenghua was stunned. "You know me?"

Xie Shang said, "I know you. I saw you being followed earlier, so I stepped in to help you out."

His voice was soft and pleasant, as if he doted on her.

"What's my name?"

“Jiang Ruan,” Xie Shang said directly.

Jiang Fenghua was stunned. Was Lin Yu lying to her, or was he lying to her?

Her emotions suddenly became agitated. For some reason, she felt a sense of familiarity with the name Jiang Ruan. "Since my name is Jiang Ruan, do you know anything about my past?"

"I know, if you'd like, I can tell you slowly." His voice was gentle, and his eyes were full of affection.

Jiang Fenghua immediately became alert. Why did he happen to see her being followed? And his gaze made her feel very uncomfortable.

She said, "They've already left. Put me down first; I still have things to do."

Xie Shang was very obedient. In fact, he and Jiang Jinyan had been to Grandma Mao's house. Knowing her and Lin Yu's whereabouts, they found them. Licheng was heavily guarded. When they arrived at the Yunwang Mansion, which was full of corpses, they were also frightened.

Fortunately, they found out that Prince Yun was unharmed and had been sent to the post station. They then went to the post station and saw Jiang Fenghua and Lin Yu.

They followed them all the way and learned that they were also being followed by another group of people.

Xie Shang led her into the alley. He was still a little reluctant to let go of her waist, but thinking of her hatred for him, he didn't want to force her like before.

He offered to take you to where you need to go.

Jiang Fenghua felt embarrassed and quickly said, "No need, thank you for earlier..."

Although he claimed to know her, she had no recollection of him whatsoever. She was wary of him and left without further interaction.

Xie Shang put the mask back on and continued to follow her at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.

Jiang Fenghua walked and stopped, and then saw him following not far away. She walked up to him and said, "You don't need to follow me. I have things to do. I'll come to you for an answer after I'm done with my business."

Xie Shang said, "Where are you going to look for me?"

Jiang Fenghua paused. Yes, where could she find him? She was unfamiliar with the South, and she didn't even know where she came from.

She was also confused.

He said, "You don't need to come looking for me, I'll come looking for you. From now on, I'll be the one to come looking for you, Ruan Ruan."

Upon hearing the name Ruan Ruan, Jiang Fenghua froze. She felt a sense of panic and turned to run away. This person was too enigmatic, and his words were particularly ambiguous. She couldn't help but wonder what their relationship had been like before.

She ran a long way, and seeing that he hadn't caught up, she went into a pharmacy, bought some medicine, and then hurried to Grandma Mao's house.

Xie Shang silently followed her, but she ran off without even asking his name.

Meanwhile, the carriage had traveled quite a distance when Shen Bingxuan watched helplessly as her father was shot with several arrows. She cried and tried to jump off the carriage.

Bai Yuhan had no choice but to say, "Neither of us knows martial arts, and those people are so vicious. If we get out of the car, we'll only be a burden to them. Your brother is so badly injured. If you go down and die, what will happen to him?"

Shen Bingxuan stopped crying instantly. "Brother Yao, what do we do now?!"

Meng Yao, who was injured, also said to Shen Bingxuan, "There are rebels in the court. If we go back now, we will only die. We are not sure if my uncle is also dead. With the help of Miss Lin and the others, my uncle will definitely be alright."

The injury to his arm left him unable to use one side of his arm.

Meng Yao's arm was badly injured; the arrowhead had penetrated deeply, causing him to bleed profusely. If he didn't receive treatment soon, his arm would be useless.

He felt drowsy and worried, hating himself for being useless. Why couldn't he kill the bandits? Why did he implicate so many innocent people?

At this moment, Lin Yu's men led them to Granny Mao's house and said, "Miss Chen, Miss Bai, please hide here for a while. We still need to go and pick up our master."

They knocked on the door again, and a little girl answered, "Who are you looking for?"

“We are Lin Yu and Young Master Ruan’s people,” they said proactively.

Ah Xian was delighted to hear the words "Young Master Ruan" and said, "Has Sister Ruan arrived? I heard from Grandma that Sister Yu and Sister Ruan have both come."

"They've run into some trouble, and we're on our way to find them, but we need a favor from you, little sister."

Ah Xian looked outside and saw a man with an arrow stuck in his shoulder. She quickly ran into the yard, calling out, "Grandma..."

Shen Bingxuan and Bai Yuhan had both been here before, and they helped Meng Yao into the courtyard.
