Li Chu hurriedly stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Someone."

Li Chu was stunned and looked up. There was an empty forest in front of him. It seemed that even the birds in the mountains had disappeared. All that was left was an uneasy calm. There was no sign of anyone, but he immediately reacted.

Come here, she's not here to watch.

Jiang Zuilan glanced at Li Chu, but saw that he was no longer as nervous as before.

Jiang Zuilan looked at Lin Zi solemnly, "We can't get out."

Li Chu quickly said: "Go back!"

When Li Chu looked back, the swaying tree shadows in the forest also came into view. He couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart: "They found it!"

"Um."

Suddenly, dozens of bows and arrows flew towards them. Before Jiang Zuilan even turned her head to look, she felt a cold light flash in front of her eyes, and an arrow flew towards Li Chu. She quickly caught it with her quick eyes and hands!

More bows and arrows flew down and pierced the surrounding tree trunks. Li Chu turned pale with fright and hurriedly turned around and retreated.

"You go to the front and wait for me."

Jiang Zuilan gently pushed Li Chu on the shoulder. Li Chu looked at her and said, "Be careful." He nodded and walked forward.

Jiang Zuilan quickly approached Yun Wanxi. At this time, the arrows seemed to have some scruples and did not shoot again.

Jiang Zuilan knew that his idea was correct, these people were indeed Yun Wanxi's people.

Jiang Zuilan walked up to Yun Wanxi. At this time, Yun Wanxi was still a little depressed. She looked at Jiang Zuilan who had left and returned, frowning and said, "Didn't you go with him? Why are you coming back?"

"Please do me a favor, princess."

"What?"

Before Yun Wanxi could react, Jiang Zuilan grabbed Yun Wanxi.

She already knew that those people were brought by Yun Wanxi. Regardless of whether they were instructed by Yun Wanxi or not, she was undoubtedly a good hostage at this time.

Whether Yun Wanxi wants to kill her or King Yu wants to kill them, it is possible.

After all, Li Chu was once King Yu's best friend, and his master became famous, but it was not easy for him to leave. He knew too many secrets of King Yu.

King Yu should have ascended the throne now, and he will definitely eradicate the root cause, and the people Yun Wanxi brought are also King Yu's people.

Li Chu must have known something he shouldn't have known, so King Yu wanted to silence him.

But looking at Yun Wanxi's look, Jiang Zuilan knew that the person who wanted to kill them should be King Yu.

When he saw Jiang Zuilan walking up to him with Yun Wanxi, Li Chu realized that Jiang Zuilan wanted to take Yun Wanxi as a hostage. He was a little confused for a while, but he didn't feel that what she did was wrong.

Yun Wanxi's breath became more and more chaotic, and she stared straight into Jiang Zuilan's eyes: "Don't think I'm afraid of you!"

Her teeth clenched, but Jiang Zuilan didn't care.

Looking at the people who were approaching, Jiang Zuilan strangled Yun Wanxi's neck with the tip of his arrow and said, "Let them move away."

After being silent for a while, Yun Wanxi seemed to be aware of her own embarrassment. She turned to look at the tall figures around her, waved her hand and said, "You guys get out of the way first."

Those people were indeed Yun Wanxi's people. Even if they were not her people, they were still people who knew her.

When those people saw Jiang Zuilan holding the tip of an arrow against Yun Wanxi's neck, they hurriedly sheathed their swords and stepped back carefully.

Yun Wanxi's eyes became cold and sharp: "I just want you to die!"

"Let them bring two horses."

Jiang Zuilan did not argue with Yun Wanxi, but left here first.

"Listen to her!" Yun Wanxi gritted her teeth and said to those people.

Soon two people left, and soon they led two horses.

"Walk."

Jiang Zuilan said to Li Chu.

"Don't follow me! Otherwise she will... you know, don't think I dare not kill her!" Jiang Zuilan shouted at those people.

The two of them mounted their horses. Jiang Zuilan took Yun Wanxi with him. Seeing that those people did not follow, he put Yun Wanxi down halfway. If he had kept Yun Wanxi with him, those people would probably be chasing after her even more closely, and she would also be a

Cumbersome.

After riding for more than two hours, we finally arrived at a town.

When Jiang Zuilan was about to go to the pawn shop to pawn some jewelry and buy something to eat, she didn't expect that Li Chu actually dug out some broken silver from the purse he was carrying.

"Alan, I still have some money here."

"Um."

She didn't bother to go to the pawn shop when she had money to use. After all, the journey was tiring enough.

The two of them had something to eat and bought two simple clothes. After all, the previous clothes were too embarrassing.

I sold the horse that I just received from Yun Wanxi for some money. After all, riding a horse is too ostentatious. If I wear something more ordinary, it will be like a fish entering the sea among the crowd, which will make it easier to hide from others.

The two came to an inn and booked two rooms. Li Chu was silent for a while, and then said: "It's getting late now. You should have a good rest first, and wait until tomorrow - tomorrow we will leave here."

"Um."

Li Chu stood at the door and nodded gently to her: "Go to bed early."

Jiang Zuilan walked in and said, "Then you should have a good rest."

"Um."

Jiang Zuilan nodded and slowly closed the door.

Li Chu stretched out his hand to hold the door and fell down.

Jiang Zuilan heard the sound and quickly opened the door, only to see Li Chu sitting at the door, reaching out to support him: "What's wrong with you?"

Li Chu didn't speak, he just grabbed the door frame hard, but he had no strength at all. Jiang Zuilan could only support him and put him on the bed in his room.

Only then did Jiang Zuilan see clearly that his face was pale and his forehead was covered in cold sweat, which came out one by one and then slid down along his forehead and the bridge of his nose.

Jiang Zuilan looked at his lowered eyes, "What's wrong with you?"

Li Chu raised his hand and waved it, indicating that he was fine.

But her pale face and lips didn't look like she was okay.

Jiang Zuilan pinched her sleeves to wipe the sweat on his forehead and the tip of his nose.

Li Chu sat for a while and finally said, "I'm fine."

"fine?"

"I'm just too tired."

Li Chu raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Zuilan, with a weak smile on his bloodless lips, and said, "Don't worry."

"Then you rest here and I'll go to your room."

Li Chu nodded, but did not move immediately. When he sat on the edge of the bed, he broke into a cold sweat again.

Li Chu leaned on the bed and looked up at Jiang Zuilan: "Please pour me a glass of water."

Turning around to pour water, he found that there was no water on the table. When Jiang Zuilan took the water from the waiter and returned to the room, he poured a glass of water and said, "Li Chu, water..."

Before he finished speaking, he stopped.

Then Jiang Zuilan saw Li Chu sitting on the bedside and fell asleep like that.

I was still sleeping deeply. To be honest, I was tired after living outside for such a long time.

Jiang Zuilan was silent for a moment and was about to go out.

Those clear eyes opened again, still with the confusion that had not faded from the dream. They just blinked and said, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, the water is here." Jiang Zuilan poured a glass of water for Li Chu.

Li Chu reached out to catch it and took a sip, then said with a smile: "Why did I fall asleep?"

"You're tired too, I'm going back to the room first."

"I……"

Li Chu wanted to stand up, but as soon as he propped himself up, his elbow went weak and he fell down in embarrassment.

Jiang Zuilan turned around and saw him lying on the bed, struggling helplessly, "You should go to bed early."

Jiang Zuilan stood at the door, glanced at the smiling Li Chu, then closed the door and turned to leave.

The next day, it was time to leave, but Li Chu was not seen coming out of the room early in the morning.

Jiang Zuilan came to the door and knocked, but no one spoke.

When she opened the door, she saw Li Chu still lying on the bed, seemingly the same as when she left yesterday.

"Li Chu, Li Chu?"

Jiang Zuilan called the person on the bed twice, but there was still no movement. She raised her hand and pushed Li Chu's shoulder, but there was still no response.

Jiang Zuilan touched his head and it was very hot. Then she saw that there was blood flowing out of his shoulder.

This is hurt!

Suddenly Li Chu opened his eyes and tried to get up, but he almost fell. He stretched out his hand to hold on to the edge of the bed, which prevented him from falling off the bed.
