It was getting daylight, and the two of them had just finished breakfast in the tent when they limped into the tent with a pockmarked face.

His expression looked strange, with his hands hanging awkwardly in front of him, like a little girl who was at a loss when meeting a stranger, which really didn't match his unshaven appearance as a strong man.

Ye Ningyu smiled, took out a jade pendant from her waist, and gently placed it in Bai Chengzhi's hand. "Then while you chat, I'll first..."

Before Ye Ningyu even lifted her feet, Bai Chengzhi grabbed her wrist. "You stay here and don't go out."

"Okay." Ye Ningyu originally wanted to leave some space for the two of them, but it seemed that Bai Chengzhi didn't need it.

She sat back down and motioned for her pockmarked face to sit across from them.

Bai Chengzhi stood up and bowed deeply to Mazi's face. Mazi was so frightened that he stood up again. "What are you doing!"

"Sir, this bow is to thank you for saving your life." Bai Chengzhi's words were sincere and full of gratitude.

The bewildered expression on the pock-marked face was much reduced, and he waved his hand with a smile on his lips. "I dare not take credit for your injury alone. Liu Yiping also contributed a lot to your injury. But..."

As he spoke, he looked at Ye Ningyu, "She is the one who does the most, staying by my side for days and nights. Hey, you are a pretty good wife."

Ye Ningyu didn't want the two of them to suddenly talk about her, so she was stunned for a moment, then lowered her eyes.

Bai Chengzhi's smile was extremely bright, "This is natural, sir, you have good taste."

Seeing Bai Chengzhi smiling so widely, even a bit meanly, Mazi suddenly felt as if he had met this person for the first time. He sat down again and looked up and down at this young man with a beautiful tree facing the wind.

As he looked at it, he suddenly felt that this face gave him an unprecedented sense of familiarity. His eyes, his expression, and the way he looked at himself.

It's really strange. It's not like I haven't seen him before. Why is this feeling getting stronger when I see him now...

"Sir, last time you saw this jade pendant, I remember you mentioned someone?" Seeing that neither of them spoke, Ye Ningyu spoke first.

The pockmarked face came out of his trance and shifted his gaze to the jade pendant in Bai Chengzhi's hand. For a moment, his eyes became very complicated. "Boy, is this jade pendant you have worn since you were a child?"

"Yes." Bai Chengzhi's voice was very soft.

"Do you still remember how you were rescued by the Emperor and Empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty and brought back to the palace?"

Bai Chengzhi shook his head, "It's been so long ago that I have no memory. But later I heard my brother recall that he had described it in a few words."

"Then...were you alone at that time, or were you accompanied by others?" The expression on Mazi's face began to become a little nervous.

"I heard from my brother that I was the only one. The late emperor went hunting and returned to the palace, and he picked me up on the road, unconscious on the side of the road. When I was brought back to the Southern Tang Palace, my whole body was covered in bruises from the cold, and my life was hanging by a thread."

Bai Chengzhi told the past events of his childhood as if he was telling someone else's story.

Ye Ningyu turned her head slightly to look at him and reached out to hold his hand. He had told her this story before. She still remembers it until now.

After being brought back to the palace, he thought he would have support for the rest of his life. Unexpectedly, three months later, late at night, the Southern Tang Palace was in chaos. Bai Chengzhi was carried into a tunnel by an old palace man. He saw the palace full of people.

A mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, they also saw with their own eyes the emperor and empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty died in front of them. He was only three years old that year.

Although only some images of these memories remain, they are still what he and Gongsun Yu fear the most, even though seventeen years have passed.

As an idle person living in seclusion in the mountains, Pockmarked Face was not interested in the story of Prince Zun of the Southern Tang Dynasty, but he was interested in the person who owned the jade pendant with the word "Feng".

After listening to Bai Chengzhi's narration of his past, he sat there with a pockmarked face and a frown, looking in a daze, and his heart throbbed for no reason. He didn't know why there was such pain, but he just felt a little more for the young man in front of him.

Feeling pity, and even feeling a touch of guilt and sadness.

Such an emotion surprised him. He looked at Bai Chengzhi and saw a glint of crystal light in his eyes. Although it was subtle, it was caught by him.

The pockmarked face was suddenly stunned, and another pair of eyes vaguely appeared in his mind. The owner of the eyes seemed to be a woman.

With red eyes, she put a jade pendant into the child's undergarment, and then handed the child into the hands of a young man. "Please keep him safe..." As she said this, a tear slipped from the corner of the woman's eye.

The pockmarked face and heart throbbed again, as if something had pinched her tightly. "Miss!" He pinched his heart, lowered his head and frowned, and subconsciously called out.

Just when his heart was throbbing, another woman's voice appeared in his ears. "You have to send him out safely. Don't be in a hurry to come back. I will wait for you here."

"Sir? Did you...remember something?" Ye Ningyu asked hurriedly upon seeing this.

When he looked up again, there were tears in the corners of his pockmarked face. "They... they asked me to send you out."

Ye Ningyu glanced at Bai Chengzhi and asked quickly, "Who are they?"

"Miss..." Mazi looked confused, "Miss and her... they are two women."

"What kind of woman?"

"Two... women with the appearance of heavenly beings. I don't remember their faces." The expression on Mazi's face gradually turned painful.

"Where did they ask you to send them?" Ye Ningyu asked in pursuit of victory.

Pockmarked face suddenly covered his head, "I don't know, they said it's safe, just escape from the tiger's mouth first. Tiger's mouth..." Pockmarked face looked up at Bai Chengzhi, "Where is the tiger's mouth?"

Ye Ningyu and Bai Chengzhi looked at each other. Bai Chengzhi suddenly remembered something and stood up and took out a piece of paper from the cabinet nearby.

He handed the paper to the pockmarked face and said, "Sir, look at this."

Ye Ningyu couldn't help but look at the piece of paper, and saw that it seemed to be the distribution map of a certain city. There were towering towers and criss-crossing streets and alleys on it.

"This is..." Ye Ningyu was very puzzled.

"That day, Mou Di's people lured me out of the city and showed me this map of the distribution of Luoshui City. They said that seventeen years ago, I was taken out of the Yan Kingdom from this place."

With that said, Bai Chengzhi pointed to the location of the tower on the drawing. "In the past two days, I drew a new one based on my memory."

Ye Ningyu's eyes fell on the spot on the city tower, where a flag was erected. This flag was very strange, with only a black and red flower on it. This flag did not look like a military flag, and I had never seen it before.

"Heisa!"
