"Fourth Young Master, Miss Cao just had someone give him medicine. But Young Master Si still shows no signs of waking up." The maid in charge of taking care of him answered respectfully.

They met this Master Si by chance on their way to Qian State.

He was seriously injured at the time. Next to him stood a man with a bloody knife and narrow eyes, and there were several corpses lying around him.

Miss Cao recognized Mr. Si and thought he was injured by that man.

Out of a sense of justice, Murray helped, severely injured the man, and took Master Si with him.

Along the way, they took good care of him.

Strangely, although Mr. Si's body has recovered, he has remained in a coma.

The doctors couldn't find the cause.

Standing beside the bed, Mo Rui stared at Si Ruochen for a long time.

Over the past few days, his concern for this stranger has increased, and he has even developed a special feeling for him.

Murray was usually aloof and rarely cared about someone like this.

But from the first moment he saw Si Ruochen, he felt inexplicably cared for and took even more meticulous and thoughtful care of him.

He eagerly hoped that Si Ruochen would wake up soon so that he could get to know him more deeply.

"Is the man who hurt him still following us?"

On the way to Qian Country, the man with narrow eyes always followed behind.

Although the man was good at martial arts, in order to avoid trouble, Murray did not completely get rid of him. He just sent someone to monitor his every move.

However, after arriving at the capital of the Kingdom of Qian, that person's figure appeared and disappeared from time to time, which made Murray alert.

"The spies reported that they saw that man entering a mansion today," the attendant replied, "It is said that it is the residence of Zhou, the leader of the Tieyun Army."

Hearing this, Mo Rui whispered to himself: "Tie Yunjun..." He looked at Si Ruochen on the bed again, with a thousand thoughts in his mind.

At this moment, a black shadow quickly passed by the window of Jiang Xue's room.

“Yun Che, a guest has arrived.” Jiang Xue opened her eyes, endured the discomfort in her waist, and stood up to get dressed.

She patted Xiao Zhan beside her gently with a hint of revenge in her heart. His actions just now made her exhausted.

He straightened his collar, and seeing that he was still sleeping, he reached out to pinch his nose.

"Are you trying to murder your husband?" Xiao Zhan grabbed her hand with a smile and quickly put on his pants.

He revealed his strong upper body and stood up from the bed.

"Who told you to use so much force just now?" She complained. She needed to rest for at least three days to recover, provided that he did not torture her during these three days. "I will be gentler tomorrow."

After leaving a kiss on her forehead, he immediately noticed the dark shadow that appeared again and quickly took action to subdue the other party.

"Prince Gong's swordsmanship is getting better and better." After only a few moves, Xiao Zhan suppressed the man.

The familiar voice made him recognize it as Qiu Qianhuan.

"Why are you here?" Xiao Zhan let go of his hand after recognizing that it was his own person.

Jiang Xue brought a cloak for Xiao Zhan to put on, and when she found blood on Qiu Qianhuan's shoulder, she frowned: "Are you injured? Who did it?" Then she called a servant to treat his wound.

Seeing the wound, Xiao Zhan realized that it was the work of the Mo family: "The one who attacked you was a member of the Mo family? What happened? Didn't I ask you to escort Si Ruochen to Changle Mountain? Where is he?"

Finding this place alone and getting injured, it was obvious that things were not simple. And Si Ruochen's disappearance made Jiang Xue even more worried.

Qiu Qianhuan smiled helplessly: "It's a long story. On the way to Changle Mountain with His Highness, I was mistaken for a gangster by the fourth son of the Mo family and was severely injured.

Now His Highness is being guarded by the Fourth Young Master in the inn, and I have been looking for him for several days but have not had the chance to approach him. Later, I learned that the Princess and Prince Gong were here, so I wanted to come and ask for help. "

"It's Murray." Xiao Zhan said.

"Do you know him?" Jiang Xue asked.

Xiao Zhan shook his head: "Mo Rui is a loner, rarely interacts with the outside world, and is very low-key. If Mo Chenjun hadn't mentioned this brother, I wouldn't have known of his existence."

"We must rescue His Highness from the inn as soon as possible." Qiu Qianhuan said seriously: "Besides, the fourth young master is accompanied by Cao Zhiqing."

In the inn, after Cao Zhiqing chatted with Wu Yungui and Ding Tu for a while, the sense of strangeness between them gradually dissipated.

When she mentioned that her younger brother Cao Ling was also killed by Jiang Xue, Wu Yungui became more interested in this woman.

"General Wu, as a general of the Qian Kingdom, are you also dissatisfied with Princess Changle?" Cao Zhiqing gently placed her hand on his, her voice as gentle as a stream.

Wu Yungui stared at her, then turned his palm over and held her hand tightly.

Cao Zhiqing was stunned and instinctively wanted to pull her hand back, but in the end she did not move and let him hold it.

"To be honest, my sister also died at the hands of that woman." Wu Yungui confessed.

"So that's how it is." Cao Zhiqing responded, realizing that there was a similar tragedy between the two of them.

"The loss of my sister was a huge blow to me. If it weren't for Prime Minister Su of Beiling revealing the truth, I would still be in the dark and not know that my sister died at the hands of the princess we swore allegiance to.

What is even more chilling is that my father was indifferent to this and did not even want to take my sister back for burial." Wu Yungui's words were full of anger and helplessness.

"I heard that General Wu of Qian State is a sincere old minister, but I didn't expect that he could be so loyal in the face of the death of his relatives. It's really rare." Although Cao Zhiqing's words sounded like praise, they actually touched the rebellious emotion in Wu Yungui's heart.

Ding Tu, who was observing quietly at the side, saw through Cao Zhiqing's thoughts, but did not expose her. He just watched coldly.

"Miss Cao, I heard that you came to Qian Kingdom for marriage?" Ding Tu asked.

He knew that the person who could be personally escorted by the young master of the Mo family must be extraordinary.

"Yes, I came here on the orders of the Crown Prince." Cao Zhiqing nodded in acknowledgement.

She needs power, only in this way can she avenge A Ling and seek justice from those who have oppressed her.

Thinking of A Ling's tragic death and all the suffering she had endured, the hatred in her heart for Jiang Xue was as deep and unfathomable as an abyss.

If she doesn't make that woman pay the price, she will die with regret.

"I've long heard that the master is very skilled. I wonder if you can lend me a helping hand?" Cao Zhiqing pulled her hand out of Wu Yungui's and turned to Ding Tu to ask.

From the beginning to the end, her target was Ding Tu. Although this person was full of dangers, his ability should not be underestimated. If she could get his support, it would be easy for her to enter the palace as a concubine.

"If you want me to help you, you must be rewarded accordingly." Ding Tu said seriously, "Miss Cao, do you have any reason that can make me interested?"

Cao Zhiqing smiled slightly, took out a white silk from her arms and placed it on the table.

When Ding Tu saw the white silk, his expression changed slightly.

"Oh my, Miss Cao really has a good eye." He thought to himself, "She actually found the person we've been looking for."
