When the eight cavalrymen entered the range of Qi Feng Mountain, one of them immediately formed a whistle with his hand and placed it next to his mouth, letting out a melodious and clear whistle.
Following this, the cavalrymen and the carriage stopped in place. Not long later, a black shadow flashed past and stopped in front of the carriage. Kneeling, he said in a deep voice: "Subordinate Ban Zou kowtows to greet your Highness."
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing two people sitting inside. One wore purple clothes and one wore green clothes. One wore a golden mask that gave off a sinister aura, while the other had an otherworldly appearance.
Impressively, it was the Ninth Prince, Xuan Tianming, and the Seventh Prince, Xuan Tianhua.
The person kneeling in front of the carriage was Ban Zou. With both knees on the ground, he looked as though he had done something wrong and was waiting to be punished.
Xuan Tianming looked at Ban Zou with a gaze as cold as that of a death god.
"Your messenger pigeon was intercepted by Feng Jin Yuan twice." He finally spoke, but he pointed directly at Ban Zou's mistake.
Ban Zou kneeled on the ground, not daring to speak.
Xuan Tianming asked: "When I received it the third time, I was 20 li away from Feng Tong county."
Sweat began to appear on Ban Zou's forehead.
"I ask you, where is your master?"
"Plop." It was late Autumn, and Ban Zou's sweat fell into the mountains.
"This subordinate is incompetent." He had truly done his best. After searching for so many days, there was not even the slightest trace of Feng Yu Heng.
"What crime should I be charged with?"
"Death."
Xuan Tianming did not make another sound. Ban Zou waited for a while, as despair gradually appeared on his face.
"This subordinate bids farewell to your Highness." He kowtowed to the ground. When he got up, he turned his hand into a palm and slapped his forehead.
The palm slapped across his skin and went straight for his heart.
But at the last moment before the palm landed, his wrist suddenly went numb. He could no longer exert any strength, and his body fell back.
Ban Zou was startled then immediately rejoiced. He quickly stood up and kneeled once more. Panting heavily, he said: "This subordinate thanks your Highness for the grace of not killing me."
Xuan Tianming did not want to pay attention to him, but Xuan Tianhua opened his mouth and asked Ban Zou: "Where have you searched?"
Ban Zou replied: "Everything within fifty li has been searched."
Xuan Tianhua stood up and stood in front of the carriage. He looked around and said, "The terrain of this Xifeng Mountain Range is dangerous. It's not impossible for someone to hide here."
Ban Zou helplessly said: "Huang Quan and Wang Chuan still have to take care of Madam Yao. Only this subordinate is searching. Some places … naturally cannot be completely searched."
Pa!
Xuan Tianming lashed out with his whip again. "And you still dare to say that you've searched all of them?"
"This subordinate deserves to die!"
No one saw that the face under the golden mask was gradually becoming ferocious. He originally thought that even if Feng Yu Heng was kidnapped, with Ban Zou here, there should be some clues in at most two days. But now, it seemed that there was something fishy about this matter!
Xuan Tianming quickly calmed down and ordered in a deep voice, "You stay here and continue searching with I in Xifeng Mountain Range." He then looked at Xuan Tianhua, "Seventh Brother, go to the Feng Clan's ancestral home tonight and carefully search that burned down room. I'm sitting in a wheelchair, so it's hard for me to move around. "
Xuan Tianhua nodded, "Don't worry. I'll go take a look when night falls."
For the entire day, Xuan Tianming's group searched Xifeng Mountain Range. Wang Chuan and Huang Quan were also notified by Ban Zou to come. When they saw Xuan Tianming, they only said one sentence: "If we can't find the person, we'll throw you guys onto the rooftop to feed the eagles."
At this moment, Feng Yu Heng, who had fainted in the pharmacy space, finally woke up. Following the gradual recovery of her vision, her memories also came back.
She struggled to get up, but her body swayed and she nearly fell back down.
Feng Yu Heng was not like Chen Yu. After being poisoned, Feng Zi Hao immediately came over to cure her. She had relied on her own willpower to support herself. Even if she woke up, her body was very weak.
Staggering over to the stairs, Feng Yu Heng gritted her teeth and went up to the second floor. She was so tired that her forehead was covered in sweat.
She did not care about anything else and directly rushed into the operating room. Rummaging through the drawer, she found a syringe. Doing her best to calm herself down, she steadily injected herself with an intravenous injection. She then went to the pharmacy counter and found two pills to clear the brain and swallowed them. Only then did she sit back down on the ground and begin to breathe heavily.
It was too dangerous. Even thinking about it, she still felt fear.
That strong and pure medicine, if she had inhaled just a little more, she feared that she would not have been able to wake up again. Or perhaps she would not have slept at all and would have died from the rupture of her blood vessels.
To be able to give her such a fierce medicine, just how much did they hate her?
Feng Yu Heng did not know how much time had passed in the outside world, but with how strong the medicine was, it would take at least two or three days for it to wear off. She could not help but begin to worry. If Ban Zou and the others could not find her, just how worried would they be? Would Yao shi go crazy with worry? How would the Feng family deal with her? Would she be considered missing? Or dead?
Just as she was thinking, she heard what seemed to be sounds coming from the outside world. She focused and listened carefully. It seemed to be someone's footsteps and the sound of rummaging.
Feng Yu Heng did not know that the outside world had already burned down, but she knew that she was currently on the second floor of the pharmacy. If she left the space like this, with her current body, she feared that she would not be able to hold on and would fall to the ground.
Thus she gritted her teeth and crawled back into the room. She prepared to estimate the size of the room and recall if there were any places for her to hide. But at this time, the footsteps that were rummaging outside suddenly stopped and stopped not too far away from her. Then a voice that seemed to have come from the mortal world whispered: "Feng Yu Heng, where exactly are you?"
Her mind moved and she immediately recognized the owner of the voice.
The Seventh Prince Xuan Tianhua, the person that had saved her once and was called Seventh Brother by her!
Why did he come?
Feng Yu Heng's mind moved and she immediately realized that something big might have happened outside. Otherwise, even if Xuan Tianming and Xuan Tianhua had chased her all the way to Feng Tong County, it would not have been Xuan Tianhua who had entered her room like this and said such a thing.
Just as she was in a daze, the person outside seemed to have moved again, but the footsteps were getting further and further away. Soon, she could no longer hear them.
Feng Yu Heng panicked and did not care about anything else. With a thought, she left the space.
Immediately following this, a strong smell of burning assaulted her nostrils. What she saw was not the room that had been allocated to her in the ancestral home. Rather, it was a charred and pitch black area.
She was still lying on the ground. When she raised her head, she just happened to see a blue clothed figure walking forward. Feng Yu Heng weakly shouted, "Seventh Brother!"
The figure immediately stopped. When he turned his head back, even the calm and ethereal person's face was filled with shock.
"Seventh Brother!" She called out again, but her voice was already hoarse.
Xuan Tianhua quickly walked over to her. In just a few steps, he was right in front of her. Then he bent down and picked her up from the ground.
Feng Yu Heng's body swayed and she could not stand. She weakly leaned against Xuan Tianhua's chest, feeling as if she had just survived a disaster.
"Heng thought that she would never see you again." After she said this, another wave of dizziness hit her head. She closed her eyes and fainted again.
Xuan Tianhua looked at the girl in his arms and felt a burst of heartache. He could not help but raise his hand to stroke her hair that was scattered across her forehead. A tear fell from the corner of her eye.
He was startled. In his memory, this girl had always been smart and a bit crafty. Even if something big happened to her, he had never seen her cry. Why was she crying today?
In truth, Xuan Tian Hua really wanted to know where Feng Yu Heng was hiding. Why was it that he had searched every corner of this place and even searched the other rooms of the Feng family's ancestral residence, yet he did not see a single trace of her? Just as he turned around to leave, this girl called out to Seventh Brother. Just this one call was filled with a pity that he had never felt for anyone before.
"Don't be afraid," he softly said and picked up the girl in his arms. "Seventh Brother will take you home."
Feng Yu Heng did not know how long she had slept for. In short, when she woke up, she was in a very comfortable embrace. It was warm and there was a large hand patting her back, so much so that she did not want to open her eyes.
"If you keep sleeping like this, you'll starve yourself to death." A voice came from above her head. It had a hint of ridicule and even a light chuckle.
Feng Yu Heng was so angry that she raised her hand to hit him, but the other person grabbed her wrist. "Are you trying to murder your husband?!"
She sullenly raised her head and met the deep eyes under the golden mask. The curve of his lips was just like when they first met. It just happened to fit her strict aesthetic standards, especially the purple lotus between his eyebrows. It was imprinted in her heart and could not be removed for the rest of her life.
"Xuan Tianming," she said. She spoke, and her voice was a little hoarse; however, it was very pleasant to hear, "Xuan Tian Ming, why did you only come now?" Her small nose choked up, and two tears fell from her eyes.
Xuan Tianming was stunned. He had never seen Feng Yu Heng cry before. This girl was always strong no matter the situation. He once thought that there was nothing in this world that could scare this girl. On top of that, she had good skills and medical skills, and he was supporting her from behind. Who could bully her?
But this time, Feng Yu Heng cried.
His heart ached as he held her little face and carefully wiped away the tears on her cheeks. It was like he was looking at a treasure. His gaze was gentle and careful.
Who would have thought that after looking at the treasure in his hand for a while, he would begin to wonder why this girl only cried for a bit and then stopped crying. She also did not complain to him. He was about to ask her what grievances she had suffered, but then he heard Feng Yu Heng stare at him and say, "If you don't give me something to eat, I will starve to death."
Xuan Tianming was speechless.
Was she crying because she was hungry?
Did this damn girl have any future prospects?
Helplessly picking her up, Feng Yu Heng finally noticed that she was in a carriage. This carriage was extremely large, as it was a room that was nearly ten square meters in size. The driver outside cracked the whip with two rhythms. It should be two people driving the carriage and there should be at least four horses pulling the carriage.
Turning her head to take a look, it turned out that there was another person sitting next to Xuan Tianming. It was Xuan Tianhua, who had picked her up from the burned down room.
Feng Yu Heng revealed a brilliant smile to Xuan Tianhua. It really was like a twelve year old child's innocent smile. Then she said, "Thank you, Seventh Brother. You saved Heng Heng again."
Xuan Tianhua also smiled. That smile was like a warm spring breeze. In this season of alternating autumn and winter, it covered the entire carriage with a layer of warmth.
"In less than half a day, we will reach town. Ban Zou has already gone to buy some food. He will bring it back in a while." Xuan Tianhua spoke while handing a plate of pastries to Feng Yu Heng: "Eat some first to weigh your stomach!"
Xuan Tianming took the plate for her and said with a bitter smile, "Counting from the day you disappeared, it's already been five days. No wonder you're hungry."
"It's been that long?" Feng Yu Heng was stunned, "Then what about my mother?"
"Don't worry." He patted her head and casually picked up a pastry and stuffed it into her mouth, "With Wang Chuan and Huang Quan watching, your father won't be able to cause any trouble."
"It's just that you should help those two girls and Ban Zou beg for mercy." Xuan Tianhua smiled and said: "Ming wants to cut off each of their arms."
Feng Yu Heng facepalmed, "This kind of violence is not good."
"They didn't protect you well."
"I hid myself. Of course they couldn't find me."
This was the topic that Xuan Tianhua was most concerned about. He couldn't help but ask: "Where did you hide yourself?"
