"No, you are Nangong Ling's secret guards. There is no reason to follow me. You can go look for him later."

After saying this, Feng Jiuqing returned to the house and prepared to close the door.

But An Qi and An Yi still stood where they were, unwilling to move.

"Please don't drive us away, Princess. Since Your Majesty didn't take us away, he must have wanted us to protect you. If anything happens to Princess, it will be our dereliction of duty."

An Qi also understood that Feng Jiuqing was soft-hearted and would not drive them away.

"Please also ask Princess to stay with us."

Feng Jiuqing pursed her lips and said, "I don't need it. If you really don't want to leave, then just stay in the yard."

She closed the door without hesitation. There was one less person in the room and it seemed very deserted.

After a simple meal, she lay on the bed and tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

Although An Qi and An Yi were Nangong Ling's secret guards, they also helped her a lot. This desert night was not something ordinary people could bear.

She thought about it again and again, but couldn't help but feel soft.

After a while, the door opened with a creak, and the two black figures were still standing upright outside the door as before.

"You two go back."

An Qi was so cold that he began to shiver all over, and he started to tremble whenever he spoke.

"Did the princess agree to let us stay?"

Feng Jiuqing said nothing, and the two of them knew that she agreed.

"Thank you, Princess."

As a result, because I stood outside for too long, my body became stiff, and as soon as I moved, I fell to my knees with a "thud".

Feng Jiuqing glanced at them, then closed the door again and went back to the house.

Early the next morning, as she had agreed with Liu Ningshuang yesterday, she began to check the health of everyone in Feng Mansion one by one.

There was nothing serious about these people's health, which was originally a good thing, but it made Feng Jiuqing couldn't help but think of what Nangong Ling said before.

But since so many people are still fine, why does Feng Xu ask Feng Qi to go to the Gu family to find her?

Feng Jiuqing figured everything out in an instant. The Feng family had no intention of letting outsiders know about it, but when she came, didn't everything become exposed?

At the same time, Feng Jiuqing also knew very well that only the dead could best keep secrets in this world.

Thinking of this, she suddenly understood the profound meaning on Liu Ningshuang's face.

However, she still showed nothing on her face and helped the Feng family members to check their health step by step.

After everything was completed, Uncle Sun came to see her off in person.

"The master of the house has things to deal with, so he doesn't have time to see Miss Feng. I'm really sorry."

After saying that, he handed a box to Feng Jiuqing, "This is a small gift from our head to Miss Feng. I ask Miss Feng to accept it, otherwise, my head will be very sad."

Still unsure of what the Feng family would do next, Feng Jiuqing could only take the box with a smile.

"Thank you, Master Feng, for me. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

Uncle Sun watched her mount the horse and leave, winking at the person in the dark, and then slowly returned home and closed the door of Feng's house.

Feng Jiuqing had many worries along the way, but she never let down her guard.

Any movement around her can catch her attention.

Everything was calm. About half an hour later, Feng Jiuqing suddenly heard a rustling sound.

After a while, a group of masked people wearing clothes the same color as the sand rose up from the sand and stood in front of her.

"who are you?"

"The Lord of Hell is here to see you off."

These people were completely murderous towards Feng Jiuqing and had no intention of dealing with her, so they started to take action.

An Qi and An Yi were overwhelmed by the struggle of so many people.

Feng Jiuqing could only use her fists and kicks to resist, but not long after, her body was cut by a sharp sword.

Seeing that the assassin's sword was about to come towards her face, she only heard the crisp sound of swords clashing.

Nangong Ling's face was as cold as ice, but there was distress in his eyes when he looked at her. He stretched out his hand to hold her up.

"I've only been away for a day, and you've made yourself into such a mess. How can I leave with peace of mind?" He quickly dealt with the two assassins, his voice was low, but there was a hint of anger.

Feng Jiuqing curled her lips. Since he had saved her life now, those inappropriate and unpleasant words were not uttered after all.

Because of Nangong Ling's help, those assassins were gradually at a disadvantage. However, there were many of them and they were very familiar with the terrain of the desert. Only a few of them were seen attacking Feng Jiuqing and Nangong Ling.

Soon, Nangong Ling's movements slowed down and became a little laborious.

"Otherwise...please let me go."

She didn't want Nangong Ling to die here because of her.

When Nangong Ling heard this, he glared at her fiercely and received a cut on his arm.

At this time, Feng Jiuqing suddenly realized that they had no retreat.

There seemed to be behind them, because the horses they rode over were frightened and fell into it, neighing and struggling to get up.

"If you jump down by yourself, you can save us from doing anything."

The leader sneered and led the people closer step by step.

The fight just now had exhausted the strength of both of them. Feng Jiuqing's foot went soft and she almost fell down.

"Come here, kill these two people, and then go back and collect the reward."

More than a dozen people surrounded them. Feng Jiuqing and Nangong Ling were no match for each other, and finally fell into the .

The assassin stood outside the pit and watched them.

Feng Jiuqing struggled, but found that the more she struggled, the deeper she sank, so she immediately stopped moving.

"The Feng family thinks that by killing me, they can cover up those shameful things?"

"I don't know if I can hide it, but you are going to die now. It's my fault that you know something you shouldn't know." The leading assassin waved his hand, and all the assassins retreated.

An Qi and An Yi were seriously injured and passed out.

In this vast desert, no one came to save them.

At this moment, Nangong Ling's arms were still holding Feng Jiuqing tightly.

"Are you so not afraid of death?"

Feng Jiuqing smiled sarcastically, never expecting that Nangong Ling, who had survived many life and death situations on the battlefield, would eventually die with her in this desolate desert.

"I owe you." Nangong Ling said calmly.

Feng Jiuqing opened her mouth, not knowing what to say. Nangong Ling had already paid off what she owed her with her life.

"You don't owe me anything." Her eyes were a little moist.

The two of them sank deeper and deeper, with the sand already buried up to their necks. Breathing became difficult due to the heavy yellow sand, but Nangong Ling did not let go at all and held her tightly in his arms.

He was even in the mood to joke, "Do you think someone will discover us in a hundred years? Maybe there will be a good story."

"Shut up." Thinking of her absurd and hurried two lives, she felt that it was very unworthy. She had never lived for herself.

Her nose, eyes, and mouth were all covered in yellow sand, and she thought she was about to die.
