The prince disliked her, and the legitimate daughter was reborn and married to the regent

A flash of cold light passed by, and a tiny weapon shot out from the panicked man's chest and headed straight for Zuo Mingyuan.

"go to hell!"

His expression was ferocious, but the next moment he felt the blood gushing out. Zuo Mingyuan drew back his sword to block the hidden weapon, and then mercilessly pierced the man's chest.

The attacker fell down slowly. He wiped the blood off the sword casually with a bit of shortness of breath, and spoke with a bit of depression.

"Are you crazy? Are you trying to kill me?"

Unfortunately, he didn't get an answer. He hesitated for a moment, looked at the sea of ​​blood and corpses, and finally found some wine from the kitchen and spread it on the ground, then threw a fire starter in.

"Don't blame me. In weather like this, burning it is the best option."

Beneath the flying yellow sand, raging flames were burning, redder than the sky and hotter than the sunlight. The thick smoke drifted farther, obscuring the departing figures.

At this moment, what Zuo Mingyuan didn't know was that the person he was looking for was stamping his feet anxiously, stretching his hands out, trying to reach up.

"Give it to me now! This is my stuff!"

The strong shame and concern made Yun Nian's face turn pink, almost turning into the color of a rabbit's eyes.

"No, it originally belonged to me."

The tall man stood still, with his hand raised high. Even though Yun Nian jumped several times, he couldn't touch it.

In sharp contrast, the hairpin in Wei Qingjue's hand shone with waves, and the dark green gems embellished it just like his eyes.

"You! How could you do this? It was you who gave it to me!"

If she hadn't accidentally hit something prickly when she fell, if she hadn't touched it unconsciously, even before Wei Qingjue could stop her,

She would never have thought that the precious hairpin that Wei Qingjue had given her would be hidden neatly in his arms again.

"What a pity! Who made someone not know how to cherish it and let it fall into my hands again?"

The corners of his mouth curled up. The regent who was considered cruel and cold in the eyes of the world was now playing with Yun Nian like a jealous child.

He bent down slightly, and in an instant their eyes moved rapidly closer, only his hands were still raised high.

"Unless you bring something in exchange."

The man with a cynical smile looked at the girl in front of him, his eyes showing undisguised arrogance and ambition. Yun Nian had never seen Wei Qingjue like this before.

Clover was innocent and pitiful when she was little, and the regent became cold and bloodthirsty when he grew up. It seemed that the lack of happiness in the process of growing up made him become someone that no one could approach.

Yun Nian remained standing on tiptoe without moving. For a moment, time seemed to have stopped. The sound of wind and insects was no longer noticeable. Only the person in front of him had a genuine smile, a bright young man.

The air seemed to be quiet for a moment, and the smiles in their eyes slowly faded away, and a more indescribable and sticky emotion crept up.

She saw her own shadow growing bigger and bigger in those dark green eyes, so close that she could almost see her own reflection in the eyes.

Whose breaths intertwined, a little closer, it would be enough to make the heart beat violently and hard to stop,

Should I close my eyes?

The girl thought about it without reason, biting her lower lip lightly with her teeth, and her eyelashes drooped.

"So... let's make braised rabbit today."

A voice with a smile brushed past her ear. Wei Qingjue tilted his head as he approached, and his lips brushed against her earlobe.

It’s not time yet, don’t be too anxious. Hunters need to be patient, right?

Otherwise, Yun Nian would be like a frightened rabbit and hide in his safe house immediately, and no matter how much he was lured, it would be difficult for him to come out.

Is this a tease?

This must be intentional, right?

Yun Nian sat aside angrily, tilting her head and supporting her chin, thinking in confusion. The hairpin incident seemed to have been revealed so easily. It was obviously an overly intimate matter, but it seemed like neither of them was going to tear off the veil that was covering it up.

But at least Wei Qingjue was right about one thing, maybe he had a talent for cooking?

The girl's eyes widened in surprise, then narrowed slightly, with an intoxicated look on her face.

"It's so good, I ate it!"

There are no words to express my gratitude for cooking, so I can only try to praise her more. After all, if Yun Nian cooks by herself, she might end up making a mess.

The time limit is three days. At most, they only need to wait for three days for Wei Qingjue and Yun Nian to know who Lin Zhu is waiting for and what he wants to do. After figuring it out, they can find out where the tunnel leads to.

"Three days."

Lin Zhu talked to herself. She squinted her eyes at the light coming through the window, put the thread into her mouth and took a sip, then threaded the needle and meticulously sewed the sole.

"Come back soon. If you don't come back, I don't know if I can hold on until then."

She murmured to herself, coughed a few times, and then forced herself to suppress it. Her whole face was flushed and pale in a sickly way.

"It's all bad fate."

……

"Oh no! Why is the water bag leaking? I didn't notice it at all."

Zuo Mingyuan picked up the water bag on his waist in annoyance and shook it desperately, but there was no sound from it. The last few drops of water fell to the ground under the shaking and soon disappeared.

"We need to find a place with people to ask."

As he was talking, a group of camels appeared in front of him. The figures of people could not be seen clearly in the yellow sand. The illusory shadows slowly approached.

"Caravan? Or robbers?"

He simply threw away the broken water bag, and then looked at the shadow opposite him with some rebelliousness. The yellow sand flew closer, and the shadow gradually became clearer. But after seeing it clearly, Zuo Mingyuan's expression suddenly sank.

A person who had just died was sitting in the middle of the camel's hump, looking precarious. The camels seemed to be unaware of what had happened, and just gathered together and walked aimlessly, carrying the bloodstained luggage.

"Has the wind and sand covered up the smell of blood?"

Zuo Mingyuan stopped the group of temporarily ownerless creatures without hesitation, and then checked them at a very fast speed. There was no one alive, and the wounds on each of them were extremely messy, as if they had been severely scratched by a sharp weapon.

"The wounds on the corpses seem different from those on the previous group, but I feel the methods used are equally cruel. Could they have been done by the same group of people?"

Meeting once is a coincidence, but meeting twice is not necessarily a coincidence. Since we have met, I have to take care of it anyway without affecting his search for Sisi.

"Let's go back."

He patted the camel and spoke softly, unloaded the heavy objects, took a few water bags and tied them around his waist, and walked forward firmly.
