Cheng Ruolan grabbed the back of Feng Yi's hand tightly, wanting him to let go.
"Cheng Ruolan, I've made it very clear before! General Cheng and I are only collaborating because of profit! Don't even think about trying to influence my marriage and my relationship!"
He came to Dagan as a hostage since he was young and suffered all kinds of humiliation.
In a foreign country, no one took him, the prince, seriously.
Even though General Cheng supports him now, he was just a bystander back then.
Feng Yi understood one thing since he was a child - no matter what he wanted, he had to fight for it on his own!
In a daze, Cheng Ruolan once again saw the murderous intent surging in Feng Yi's eyes. She was frightened, and there was some pleading in her eyes.
"Don't try to interfere with me again! Otherwise, I can't guarantee that the mess behind General Cheng will not be spread out."
Cheng Ruolan didn't know what General Cheng had done behind her back. The only thing she knew for sure was that if she angered Feng Yi, he really wouldn't mind a fight to the death.
Feng Yi let go.
As fresh air rushed in, Cheng Ruolan covered her neck and coughed violently.
Her eyes were red as she looked at this cold and noble man, fear in her eyes.
Feng Yi, wearing a silver mask, left quietly again.
On the other side, Qu Li, Bai Ruowei and Changle also came to the back mountain.
Changle looked around, puffed out his cheeks, and exhaled: "This place looks quite desolate, where can I find the holy fruit?"
Bai Ruowei couldn't help laughing: "If the holy fruit could be seen everywhere, it wouldn't be so precious!"
Qu Li dismounted and asked, "Did you see that little yellow flower on the hill?"
Changle raised his hand and put a hat on his forehead. "Seventh cousin, what is that little yellow flower? Could it be some precious herb?"
"It's indeed not very common, but it doesn't cure diseases or save lives, but it can cause people to hallucinate."
“Similar to Mandragora?”
Bai Ruowei is indeed a talented woman, she asked without hesitation.
Qu Li nodded: "Datura can cause hallucinations in people, and over time, it can drive people crazy. However, this kind of yellow fairy grass is rarely known, so it is generally ignored."
"It's best if no one knows about this harmful thing!"
"You two wait here, I'll pick it off."
"Seventh cousin, that place looks very dangerous!" Changle dissuaded.
"It's okay." Qu Li patted the back of her hand and gave her a reassuring look.
She stood at the foot of the mountain and looked up to estimate the height.
She could have used a climbing rope, but she wanted to try out the Qinggong skills that Changle taught her.
He took a deep breath and silently recited the mantra of Qinggong in his mind.
Leap, jump——
With a "bang", Qu Li fell to the ground.
She looked up at the yellow fairy grass helplessly and sighed.
Just as he was about to take out the climbing rope from the space, a familiar figure came over.
He put his long arms around her waist, tiptoed, and jumped up.
There was the sound of the wind whistling by my ears, carrying the faint scent of pine on his body into my lungs.
Feng Yi turned his eyes to the side, and a hint of pleasant smile appeared on his handsome face under the mask.
"Are you alright with your injuries?"
Xiao Xian's attack last night must have caused him internal injuries.
"Nothing, just picking a piece of yellow fairy grass."
Qu Li's eyes widened.
"I just heard you talking."
He wouldn't tell her those dark things about himself.
She is his own salvation and a ray of sunshine shining into his dark life!
Qu Li didn't doubt anything anymore.
He put one hand around Qu Li's waist and used the other to pick the yellow fairy grass.
Qu Li raised the corner of his mouth, and through his consciousness, he planted the yellow fairy grass into the space.
Seeing Feng Yi and Qu Li getting close, Changle felt a little melancholy. After all, she had a good relationship with Xiao Xian since she was a child.
But when Qu Li faced Feng Yi, there was a relaxed smile in her eyes, which made her unable to bear to destroy this beauty.
"What are you still standing there for?" Bai Ruowei touched her lightly.
Changle forced a smug look and said, "Let's go! We still have to pick the holy fruit!"
The two were about to step forward when Feng Yi's ears moved slightly.
Qu Li and others were not as strong as him, so they naturally did not hear the subtle movement.
He frowned and looked towards the east, then said to Changle and Bai Ruowei, "Find a place to hide first!"
"What's wrong?" Qu Li frowned.
"It's very murderous."
The color on Bai Ruowei's face completely drained away.
Everything that happened in the dense forest yesterday left a huge shadow on Bai Ruowei's heart. She was almost at a loss at the moment.
“Let’s go first!”
Feng Yi's tone did not allow for any negotiation.
Qu Li nodded, and he and Changle helped Bai Ruowei get on the horse.
The murderous aura became more and more intense. When Qu Li looked back, he saw several burly men holding knives and slashing at Feng Yi.
Feng Yi suffered internal injuries last night. Although he took medicine, his breathing is still a little disordered.
Looking past the killers, he looked at Qu Li deeply.
Qu Li tightened her grip on the reins and turned to look at Changle.
"Changle, protect Ruowei! Remember to use the things I gave you yesterday!"
She had a feeling that these killers were targeting her!
As long as she is separated from Bai Ruowei and Changle, they will be safe.
As for Feng Yi, she would never implicate him!
"Seventh cousin-in-law—"
What Changle said next was blown away by the wind and Qu Li did not hear clearly.
Feng Yi was fighting with these killers. Whenever someone tried to attack Qu Li, he would try his best to stop them.
Looking at Qu Li riding Hongchen towards him, he felt extremely complicated.
"What are you doing back here?"
Qu Li did not answer his question, but said sternly: "Hold your breath."
The two men worked together in perfect harmony, and the black-clad killers more or less inhaled some poison.
"You shouldn't have come back!"
Feng Yi looked at her deeply.
"Do I have to watch you die in the Great Gan? I'm a very patriotic person!"
His pounding heart plummeted.
She was from Dagan, and he was from Southern Qi.
The two countries have a long-standing feud. His return to Southern Qi this time means that the peace of the past ten years will be broken, and war between the two countries is only a matter of time.
And since she is so patriotic, will she...
Before he could ask, she grabbed his wrist and immediately led him away from the sharp blade.
Qu Li didn't know why he was so distracted. While leading him to dodge the sharp blade, he said dissatisfiedly: "This is a matter of life and death. Can you please stop thinking about those trivial things for a while?"
Feng Yi suddenly felt sorry, and gathered his messy thoughts, and joined her in fighting against these killers.
The black-clad killers who were poisoned were all good-looking but useless, so Qu Li and Feng Yi took care of them in no time.
When he was about to interrogate them, these killers bit off the poison sacs, vomited black blood, and died instantly.
Seeing that his wound was bleeding again, Qu Li frowned and took out the medicine.
"I'll help you apply the medicine!"
