"what did you say?"

Rong Sheng couldn't believe her ears. Feeling the force on her arm, she looked back at Song Xuanlin.

At this moment, only a pair of lively eyebrows and eyes were revealed on his handsome face. Under the dim light of the secret passage, his eyes appeared even deeper and sharper.

Rong Sheng stared at it for a moment, his heartbeat speeding up unconsciously.

She quickly blinked her eyes, trying to concentrate, and cleared her throat awkwardly, "How did your Highness determine that the Shen family was not a rebel? And why did he help the Shen family clear their name?"

Song Xuanlin lowered his eyelashes to hide the loneliness in his eyes. He let go of Rong Sheng's hand and whispered, "It has been three years since the Shen family's rebellion. Even though the prince and others jointly reported it, and Li Yujing presented the evidence of the Shen family's communication with Chidan, I still don't believe that the Shen family would rebel."

"The Shen family has been loyal and brave for generations, and has made great contributions to the defense of Dazhen. General Shen Yun has successfully repelled the Chidan army several times. He also saved the life of my mother. Her superb medical skills and upright character are still unforgettable. I don't believe that such a person would betray the country for his own selfish interests!"

As he spoke excitedly, his chest rose and fell violently unconsciously. The Camelback Valley with corpses everywhere three years ago and the raging fire that seemed to cover everything came vividly to his mind again.

During these three years, whenever he thought of Shen Yun being burned to ashes in the fire, he felt extremely distressed.

He asked himself countless times, if he could get there earlier, would Shen Yun not have died?

Rong Sheng listened silently at the side, his throat choked with sobs.

I didn't expect that there would be someone in Dazhen who would believe in the Shen family and believe that the Shen family army would not betray me, and I didn't expect that person to be Song Xuanlin.

She turned sideways and rubbed her red eyes, and said in a deep voice: "I am just an ordinary citizen. Although I don't understand what the prince said, it has been three years since the incident. Even if the prince wants to overturn the verdict, it will not be easy."

"So I have been looking for the survivors of the Shen family in Camel Hump Valley. Now your appearance has given me a glimmer of hope."

"Me?" Rong Sheng asked, pointing at his nose.

"Yes, it's you," Song Xuanlin said firmly, "The martial arts you displayed are all high-level skills of the Shen family. I believe you must know the survivors of the Shen family army."

"As long as you tell me where that person is, I will grant you a lifetime of wealth and glory, and you won't have to live this sneaky life anymore."

Cheating?

Rong Sheng couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, thinking that Song Xuanlin was really good at talking. He asked for help and spoke so badly of the other person.

However, in his previous life, he had indeed used his medical skills to save many people, and Concubine Wei was one of them.

It's just that so much time has passed that I have totally forgotten about it.

I guess Song Xuanlin, as a prince, is willing to stand on the side of the Shen family because of this?

Rong Sheng stroked his chin and thought carefully, does that mean he won't have to act alone from now on?

Just as she was thinking intently, the walls around her suddenly began to tremble, and the gaps between the walls became wider and wider.

Rong Sheng looked back at the stone wall in the distance, and his pupils shrank instantly.

Oops!

Perhaps the noise he made when he broke the pile of rocks was too loud and alarmed the people in the palace.

Thinking of this, Rong Sheng quickly leaned forward and pushed Song Xuanlin to the gap in the stone pile, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the people from the palace will be here soon. Please go first, I will stay here to clean up the mess!"

Song Xuanlin also sensed that the secret passage was about to be opened. He looked down at Rong Sheng, who was not even as tall as him, and said in a deep voice, "I order you to go first."

what?

He let me go first?

Rong Sheng looked at Song Xuanlin in disbelief and was about to speak.

An extremely deep voice suddenly came from above the secret passage.

"Who on earth is this person? How dare you trespass into the palace? Come here and be killed!"

Immediately afterwards, countless arrows shot towards the two of them from the end of the secret passage.

Rong Sheng had just seen the arrow formation in the secret passage, and it was not so dense at all.

Therefore, these arrows must have been shot by the secret guards of Prince Jing'an's palace.

When Rong Sheng thought of this, she immediately became so anxious that she broke out in a sweat. She nimbly dodged the flying arrow while pulling Song Xuanlin towards the gap in the stone pile.

Song Xuanlin was using his sword to desperately block the rain of arrows, but seeing Rong Sheng being so stubborn, he had no choice but to bend down and prepare to get through.

But just as he bent down, the arrows seemed to have eyes and shot towards his heart on his back.

At this critical moment, Rong Sheng rushed over regardless of his own safety, using his body to block Song Xuanlin, trying to protect him.

However, due to the extremely fast speed of the arrow, Rong Sheng could not react in time and was unable to activate his skills to completely block it.

The next second, two arrows pierced Rong Sheng's left shoulder.

"Uh--"

Rong Sheng groaned in pain and knelt on one knee on the ground. Perhaps because the arrow was close to her heart, she didn't have time to use her skills to protect her heart meridian. Her whole body quickly went limp and she lay on the ground, unable to stand up.

Song Xuanlin looked up suddenly in response, his face suddenly darkened.

He stood up quickly and flexibly turned the sword in his hand to block another round of arrow rain.

At the same time, he exerted force with his left foot and kicked at the pile of stones again and again, and the gap in the pile of stones gradually became larger.

Seeing this, he quickly half-knelt down, picked up Rong Sheng by the waist with one hand, and continued to defend himself with his sword with the other hand.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally brought Rong Sheng through the pile of rocks with difficulty.

The rain of arrows behind him also disappeared. Song Xuanlin breathed a sigh of relief, quickly put away his sword, and continued to run back carrying Rong Sheng without delay.

At this time, Rong Sheng, who was carried up, had just exhausted most of his physical strength and was seriously injured, and now his mind began to become a little confused.

Song Xuanlin, who was on his way, noticed that Rong Sheng was a little too quiet, so he quickly looked down.

At this moment, Rong Sheng's face was very pale, his eyes were closed, and his whole body, contrary to his normal state, collapsed on Song Xuanlin's shoulder.

The two arrows were still lodged in her left shoulder, leaving a deep bloody hole in her thin shoulder. Dark red blood was flowing out, staining most of her clothes red.

Seeing this, Song Xuanlin frowned and immediately pressed a few acupoints on her shoulder to slow down the blood flow. He then took out a bottle of golden medicine powder from his arms and sprinkled it on the wound on her left shoulder.

"hiss--"

Rong Sheng groaned in pain due to the effect of the powder.

"You can't pull out the arrow yet. Just bear with it for now."

Song Xuanlin whispered comfortingly and continued to sprinkle the medicine powder. After a while, seeing that the blood flow rate had slowed down a lot, he quickly picked up Rong Sheng and continued to run forward.

After a while, he finally ran out of the rockery with Rong Sheng.

It was already dawn. Song Xuanlin wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked down at Rong Sheng, whose face was pale.

"Just hold on a little longer, we'll be out soon." He muttered to himself to Rong Sheng.

But before he could finish his words, he sensed the auras of several experts behind him, approaching him rapidly.

"Since you have the guts to come to this palace, then leave your life behind!"
