"..." Gu Yufei silently moved the last corpse up and cleaned the bloodstains on the ground.
Seeing that Gu Yufei didn't respond, Duan Yu asked again: "Why don't you want to?"
Gu Yufei really wanted to answer: Yes, she didn't want to, she wanted to go home. But she knew that even if she said that, Duan Yu would not let her go back, so she swallowed the words in her heart.
"Let's leave as soon as daybreak. I've been around here for a long time and I'm very familiar with the terrain. The reason they couldn't catch me is because the terrain is complex. The assassins they sent this time haven't returned, so they'll only send more people next time. It's actually safer for us to go to the city."

early morning
It was raining neither too heavy nor too light.
Duan Yu and Gu Yufei set out in the rain wearing raincoats made of thatch.
They had no carriage, and the roads were wet, so their shoes quickly became soaked.
But Duan Yu didn't dare to stop. He urged Gu Yufei to move forward.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, they finally came to a place where they could rest.
This was originally a post station.
But now it is abandoned. It is covered with dust, but fortunately the bed and stove are still in good condition.
Gu Yufei had seen a horror film about an ancient post station and was terrified of such places. Duan Yu was scary enough, but the clothes he wore were even scarier, so she asked him to stay in the same room with her.
After walking for a long time and with her shoes soaked, Gu Yufei's feet turned white from being covered in sweat, and many of them were scratched and bleeding. Duan Yu took one look and said, "She's really delicate, worthy of being a young lady. She can't even walk such a short distance."
Gu Yufei was too lazy to refute. She walked around the post station and found some dandelions. She boiled the dandelions and used the water to soak her feet. By the next day, the wound had healed.
"How come you also know medicine?"
"I only have a basic understanding." Gu Yufei was often sick in her previous life. She had a poor physical condition, so when she had nothing to do, she would study Chinese medicine and identify some Chinese medicines.
In ancient times, plants such as honeysuckle and dandelion were more common, and Gu Yufei simply used local materials.

Fu Mansion
None of the assassins sent out by Fu Xiuqi returned.
In other words, they were wiped out.
Where did the prince go?
And Gu Yufei, why did she disappear during this time period?
The Crown Prince's hiding place wasn't far from where Gu Yufei disappeared. Could they be working together? Fu Xiuqi was startled by her own thoughts, then thought again: Oh, how could it be possible? The Crown Prince is already unconscious, and his martial arts skills are useless. And Gu Yufei is in love with him, so how could she possibly be with the Crown Prince?
"Suifeng, increase the number of assassins sent out to fifty, and don't let go of any clues. We must find the prince." Fu Xiuqi's eyes flashed with a fierce light.
"Yes. Do we need to invite Master Li over today?" Sui Feng asked, observing Fu Xiuqi's expression. His master had been acting out of character, not inviting Master Li over for several days.
"No need, just give this to him." Fu Xiuqi took out a small package.
Suifeng nodded, took the package and gave it to Du Shuting.
Du Shuting was annoyed that Fu Xiuqi hadn't seen her for several days. When she saw Suifeng coming, she couldn't hide her joy in her eyes.
"Mr. Li, the master asked me to give this to you."
"Didn't he invite me to his house?"
