Chi Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly distanced himself from the matter: "No, I don't know him. He just looks familiar to me, that's all."
Tang Wan patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "Then...should I save him?"
"Can you save him?"
The two spoke at the same time, stunned for a moment. Tang Wan was the first to break the silence: "Since we have met, it means it is fate. A doctor's heart is compassionate, and we can't just stand by and watch someone die without helping."
She approached the man and found that he was just like Chi Yu, with knife wounds all over his body. Looking at the body on the ground, she understood: "I will stop the bleeding first. It may hurt if you tear off your clothes."
The man nodded weakly, and Tang Wan rummaged through her pockets. Fortunately, she had the habit of carrying medicine bottles with her.
The snow-white powder was sprinkled on the man's bloody wound, but he didn't say a word. Although his face was covered with cold sweat, he just frowned slightly.
Chi Yu tore off his clothes and bandaged his wound: "Who are you?"
The man replied, "My name is Situ Ye. I was chased here by some criminals. I'm here to look for someone."
Situ Ye was secretly looking at Tang Wan. Chi Yu noticed his gaze, frowned, and took a step forward to block Tang Wan.
"May I know the names of your two benefactors?"
Chi Yu spoke first: "My name is Chi Yu, and the person next to me, you can just call her Miss Tang."
Situ Ye forced a smile and said, "Thank you so much, Master Chi and Miss Tang, for saving my life. I have no way to repay you."
Tang Wan looked at him worriedly: "Can you still stand up? There is a cave not far away. Why don't we take shelter there first?"
She pointed to the cave entrance they came from. Situ Ye originally wanted to refuse, but the injuries on his body were too serious. Even if he had an extraordinary physique, it was impossible for him to return along the same route.
So they had no choice but to accept her suggestion. The three of them looked at each other in confusion. Tang Wan told them, "I just looked at the terrain. I should have been here before. If I keep walking south, I will be able to return home."
Situ Ye: "Then..."
Chi Yu saw what he wanted to ask, so he said, "We can't go back. Someone is chasing us. Going back will mean death."
Situ Ye was furious: "Who dares to hunt us down..."
Seeing Tang Wan's puzzled expression, he swallowed hard, and under Chi Yu's death gaze, he tried desperately to make amends: "I mean, he actually dared to hunt down my benefactor. He really doesn't care about his life."
…………
The warm bonfire dispelled the chill from their bodies. Tang Wan carefully looked at Situ Ye who was already sleeping on the stone bed, and took Chi Yu's hand and came to the outside of the cave.
"Ayu, I always feel that he doesn't seem like a good person."
Chi Yu inexplicably felt that these words were suggestive, and touched the tip of his nose with a guilty conscience: "Wanwan, don't worry, he really is not a bad person."
Tang Wan stared at him in confusion: "Didn't you say you didn't know him? How do you know if he's a good guy or a bad guy?"
Chi Yu bit his lower lip, almost unable to hold back and tell everything, but in the end, he just supported Tang Wan's shoulders: "I recognize the mark on him, he is from the official family, don't worry."
Hearing this, Tang Wan was obviously relieved: "That's good, as long as it doesn't cause any harm to you and me, that's enough."
When Chi Yu heard this, his tail in his heart was lifted up again. She cares about me, she cares about me so much, she must like me a little.
Tang Wan was supported by his hand and walked back again. Not long after Tang Wan returned, she closed her eyes to rest and fell asleep in a short while.
Chi Yu repeatedly tested her and found that she was really asleep, so he patted Situ Ye and said, "Wake up."
Situ Ye opened his eyes and saluted him: "Your Highness."
Chi Yu frowned: "Why are you here?"
Situ Ye's face was solemn: "It's Your Majesty who sent us to look for you."
"You guys? Where are the others?"
"The rest of the brothers are gone."
"What?" Chi Yu's voice rose a few notches. Tang Wan made some noises, and he lowered his voice: "How many of you came? Why are you the only one left?"
"Your Highness, His Majesty sent ten people to secretly investigate your whereabouts. The other nine were killed by people sent by other forces. I am the only one who survived."
When Chi Yu heard this, he couldn't help feeling a little sad, "Why did you come to me?" Anyway, you don't care about him at all, right?
Situ Ye coughed twice: "Your Highness, things are not what you think. His Majesty..."
The expression on Chi Yu's face turned cold in an instant: "Tell my father that I will never go back. Just treat me as dead."
Situ Ye regarded him as the heir, so he naturally refused to agree: "No, Your Highness, you are the only heir to His Majesty."
"I'm no longer a three-year-old child. You can't use such words to deceive me. My father has many children, so there's no need to worry about finding an heir. Besides, I don't want to be involved in the grudges of the previous generation."
After he finished speaking, he stopped looking at his face and turned his head to the side.
"Your Highness, are you really going to give up? After all these years of hard work, can you really let it go?"
Chi Yu turned around and looked at him. His face was in the dark, so he couldn't see his expression. "What's there to be worried about? Now I've found someone more important. More importantly, the past is like smoke and clouds to me. There's no need to mention it anymore."
Of course, Situ Ye refused to give up: "But, you were also hunted here today, weren't you? You can't even protect your sweetheart. Is this the life you want?"
"Situ Ye, don't provoke me with words." He stretched out his hand and pinched the man's neck, his chest heaving violently. He let go when the man was about to suffocate.
"Cough cough cough..." Situ Ye kept coughing and it took him a while to catch his breath.
"Your Highness, have you forgotten the original intention of establishing the Silver Armor Guard?"
He looked at him with earnest eyes and tears in them.
"I've already said that I don't remember what happened back then."
Chi Yu's face was cold, and he looked down at him condescendingly: "I am just a humble prince who is not loved by my mother and my father."
Situ Ye shook his head desperately. He knew that the truth was not what he said.
Chi Yu was a gifted child. He could speak eloquently at the age of six. He was extremely talented. The imperial teacher at the time declared: "This child will have a bright future."
This was indeed the case. At that time, he was only eleven years old, but he had already mastered martial arts. There were almost no people in the world who could fight against him.
At that time, he wondered if he could create a team to practice martial arts with him, which would not be under the control of the royal family and would be used simply to punish evil and promote good.
