Feng Qinghua took Zhan Beixiao and hid deep in the cave. The barking of hounds not far away became louder and louder. It sounded like they had reached the entrance of the cave.

"This hound is quite powerful." Feng Qinghua sighed with emotion, "This way I can find you here."

Zhan Beixiao and Feng Qinghua hid in the cave together. Hearing Feng Qinghua's words, he said leisurely, "They are all specially trained."

"Why does that man look so familiar?" Feng Qinghua looked outside the cave through the small opening of the cave. A middle-aged man dressed in rich clothes was standing in the woods.

Fortunately, Feng Qinghua had placed some weeds outside the entrance of the cave before. The entrance of the cave was already hidden, and it would be impossible to find it for a while.

"He is the Protector of the Country."

Feng Qinghua slapped her head suddenly, "I remembered, he is Nie Hanxing's father."

Zhan Beixiao looked back at Feng Qinghua, reached out and pulled Feng Qinghua to sit down, "Don't move."

"How could it be him?" Feng Qinghua frowned, "Why would the Protector of the Country come to help the Queen Mother? What about the brothers from the Nie family?"

Zhan Beixiao's eyes were fixed on the outside of the cave entrance, and he saw the Protector of the State standing there with a serious look on his face. Only the royal hounds were barking around him.

"Why don't you leave?" The Protector of the Country looked at the guard leading the hound and said in a deep voice.

The guard clasped his fists towards the Protector Marquis and said, "Your Majesty, maybe the heavy rain last night has dispersed a lot of the smell. I'm afraid these two people are nearby now."

The Lord Protector glanced at the barking guards and felt increasingly irritated, "Why don't you go find her quickly? You don't even know the Queen Mother's orders!"

The guards quickly separated and started searching in different directions.

"Although General Nie is now in prison, I have great confidence in him." Zhan Beixiao raised his eyebrows and looked at Feng Qinghua, his tone very indifferent.

Feng Qinghua curled her lips, "You trust General Nie? Nie Hanxing is my disciple, and I trust him very much."

Feng Qinghua looked at Zhan Beixiao provocatively. She didn't say that she didn't trust the Nie brothers.

Zhan Beixiao glanced at Feng Qinghua with some displeasure, "What can I trust about a male apprentice?"

"That's my apprentice." Feng Qinghua retorted, "I just trust my apprentice. What does it have to do with men and women?"

Zhan Beixiao looked at Feng Qinghua's unconvinced look and stretched out his hand to pull her into his arms.

"What are you doing?" Feng Qinghua exclaimed.

Zhan Beixiao's gaze faintly swept over Feng Qinghua's red lips, "What do you think this king is going to do?"

Feng Qinghua glared at Zhan Beixiao, they were running for their lives now, but Zhan Beixiao was still in the mood to do such a thing.

"Hurry up." Feng Qinghua reached out and pushed Zhan Beixiao, "or I'll prick you with a needle."

Zhan Beixiao remained unmoved. Seeing the distance between the two getting closer and closer, Feng Qinghua closed her eyes and nervously held the silver needle, reaching out to prick it.

Zhan Beixiao suddenly turned sideways, leaned over Feng Qinghua's ear and whispered, "Don't move, there is a sound."

Feng Qinghua glared at Zhan Beixiao angrily, actually making fun of her at this time.

Suddenly there was a rustling sound in the surrounding grass.

Feng Qinghua and Zhan Beixiao looked at each other, and both looked in the direction of the grass.

"Hey, Grandma Grandma." Wu Duzi emerged from the grass with Bai Shuang, smoothed the weeds on his head, and glanced at Feng Qinghua awkwardly.

Feng Qinghua stretched out her hand to push Zhan Beixiao away, glared at Zhan Beixiao fiercely, and then looked at Wuduzi.

"Why are you here?" Feng Qinghua glanced at Wuduzi with some displeasure. They had all been frozen here for a day and a night.

Wu Duzi hurriedly stepped forward, smiled and explained, "Grandma, it rained heavily last night, so the smell has dispersed a lot, making it more troublesome to find."

Feng Qinghua rolled her eyes and glanced at Wuduzi, "Do you have any medicine on you?"

"What kind of medicine?" Wuduzi looked confused, then turned pale and said in shock, "Grandma, Grandma, are you injured?"

Feng Qinghua stretched out her hand and slapped Wu Duzi on the head, "How old you are, you are not as stable as a tiger, right, Bai Shuang?"

As she said this, Feng Qinghua glanced at Bai Shuang with a smile.

Bai Shuang wagged her tail proudly and raised her head to the side.

"He is injured." Feng Qinghua pointed at Zhan Beixiao, "Give me medicine."

Wuduzi said oh and stuffed all the bottles and jars in his arms to Feng Qinghua.

Feng Qinghua sniffed it gently, took out the pill and stuffed it directly into Zhan Beixiao's mouth, "Take it."

Wuduzi looked at Feng Qinghua with an ambiguous expression, wondering what happened between the two of them that night.

Feng Qinghua didn't notice Wu Duzi's eyes at all and helped Zhan Beixiao up.

Zhan Tingfeng was sitting in the study, looking at a game of chess on the table, but he still didn't drop the chess piece in his hand.

"Your Highness is so elegant."

The man in black appeared in Zhan Tingfeng's study again and took a look at the chess game on Zhan Tingfeng's chessboard.

"Although the chess game is difficult, it is not unsolvable." The man in black smiled lightly and said slowly.

The genius raised his head and glanced thoughtfully at the man in front of him, "Oh? Really?"

The man in black stepped forward, took out a white stone, and put it down gently. The stalemate on the chessboard suddenly collapsed, and the white stone defeated the black stone with just one move.

"Your chess skills are quite good." Zhan Tingfeng's voice was much more pleasant, "But as I said before, I think you are pretty good here and don't need any help."

The man in black seemed to have expected Zhan Tingfeng's answer, and slowly played with the chess pieces in his hand, "Does Your Highness know the current situation in the court?"

Zhan Tingfeng's hands clearing the chessboard paused slightly, "Now that I am no longer the prince, what does the outcome of the court have to do with me?"

The man in black suddenly laughed, "So His Highness is still such an indifferent person."

This sentence did not sound like a good thing, but Zhan Tingfeng was not angry at all. Instead, he laughed at himself, "It's just that after so many experiences, I feel downhearted."

"Is Your Highness really willing?" The man in black stared at Zhan Tingfeng with a firm tone, "Your Highness doesn't want to lose like this, right?"

Without waiting for Zhan Tingfeng to speak, the man in black took out a brochure bag from his arms and put it on the table, "Your Highness, it is better to take a good look at what is in this bag before making a decision."

Zhan Tingfeng glanced at the kit on the table, "Why do you have to help me?"

"I have said before, I am just a messenger." The man in black smiled softly and avoided Zhan Tingfeng's question.

"I will come again, Your Highness can think about it carefully."

After saying that, the man in black disappeared.
