Wei Rou and Leng Yue looked at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

There are people outside!

Could it be that the assassins are catching up?

Wei Rou speeded up the movements of her hands, bandaged Leng Yue's wound, then slowly moved towards the entrance of the cave with the dagger in hand.

Leng Yue was placed in a dark place by Wei Rou, watching Wei Rou's cautious movements, she also sweated, not daring to make a sound, for fear of dragging her feet.

The footsteps outside were getting closer.

Cold sweat broke out on Wei Rou's forehead. She hid behind the stone wall and raised the dagger in her hand.

The footsteps stopped for a moment when they reached the entrance of the cave, and then continued to walk in.

Seeing a shadow reflected on the stone wall, Wei Rou realized that someone was approaching, so she swung her dagger and stabbed at him without saying a word.

"Rou'er!"

Wei Rou's hand was caught, the dagger fell to the ground, and her body fell into the broad and warm arms of the visitor.

"General!"

Wei Rou's heart hanging in the air finally has a home.

Leaning in Gu Xi's arms, she realized that her legs were weakening when she saw him coming.

Gu Xi was also relieved to see that Wei Rou was safe and sound.

The hostility in his eyes faded away.

"Any injuries?"

Wei Rou shook her head, "I'm fine. The princess was shot by an arrow to save me. I just pulled out the arrow for her, but I still have to send it to the doctor in time for diagnosis and treatment."

Gu Xi followed Wei Rou's gaze and saw Leng Yue sitting in the corner, and just took a glance, then looked away.

"I will have someone take her to the post station, where the imperial physician is guarding. Are we going back home now?"

Gu Xi stroked Wei Rou's loose hair, seeing her still in shock, a stern look flashed across her eyes.

Wei Rou whispered, "Wait."

After a while, there was a roar from outside.

A white tiger appeared at the entrance of the cave. It obviously smelled a strange smell. The moment it saw Gu Xi, it roared twice. Gu Xi just glanced at it, but suddenly it didn't dare to growl, and just stood there vigilantly. .

Wei Rou didn't expect Gu Xi's coercion to be so powerful that even Baihu was afraid of him.

She bent her lips and smiled, beckoning to the white tiger.

"I'm fine now, you put down the herbs and get out of here quickly."

Bai Hu stared at Wei Rou hesitantly for a while, making sure that there was no danger, then obediently threw the herbs on the ground, turned and left.

When Ling Yun, Wu Jiang and others rushed over, they were relieved to see that Wei Rou was fine.

"lady!"

Wu Jiang walked quickly towards Wei Rou.

Wei Rou is simply treating Leng Yue's wound, applying herbal medicine to stop the bleeding, and re-bandaging.

Seeing Wu Jiang coming, she hurriedly raised her head and glanced at her, seeing that she was just in a panic and not seriously injured, she nodded and said, "I'm fine."

Ling Yun walked to Gu Xi's side.

"General, those assassins have all been dealt with."

Hearing this, Leng Yue spat out the handkerchief in her mouth and looked over.

"Have you found out who it is?"

Ling Yun looked at Gu Xi hesitantly.

Gu Xi hummed.

Ling Yun said: "Yes...he is from Hanyue Kingdom."

The first time Leng Yue heard this was to look at Wei Rou in front of her.

"Listen to my explanation, it's really not the person I arranged, I..."

Wei Rou tied the knot and agreed.

"I know it's not the princess. If the princess wants to kill me, she doesn't have to be so devious, and she doesn't have to risk herself. It's just that the princess—"

With that said, Wei Rou raised her head and looked at Leng Yue with fixed eyes.

"Since the assassin is from the Hanyue Kingdom, he designed such a thing behind the princess's back and dared to hurt the princess. Maybe the princess should think about who is behind it."
