As Feng Zixiao asked the question, his eyes glanced at Hai Ling, checking if there was anything wrong with her.
Upon hearing Feng Zixiao's question, Feng Qian quickly shook her head: "It's nothing, Your Majesty, you don't need to mind. It's all because of this crazy woman who keeps cursing."
After Feng Qian finished speaking, Feng Zixiao looked up at Jiang Feixue with a cold and icy gaze, as if the love he had shared with her before was just a dream. Jiang Feixue felt an unbearable pain in her heart when she saw him like this, and wished she could die. How long had it been? He was looking at her like a stranger. For the past six months, she had taken good care of him and was unwilling to hurt him in any way. Apart from giving him the amnesia drug, she had never hurt him. But now, he was treating her like this.
And just now, she saw the way he looked at Jiang Hailing, so ardent and passionate, something she had never seen before.
Thinking about all this, Jiang Feixue felt an intense burning pain in her heart. She couldn't help but pinch her own flesh, otherwise she would go crazy, she would go insane.
"Feng Zixiao, how cruel you are! You are too cruel."
Not only did he show no mercy, but he also personally acupunctured her and guarded her like a prisoner. Jiang Feixue was heartbroken, but unfortunately, Feng Zixiao had no eyes for her at all, so even if she hated him, there was nothing she could do.
Feng Zixiao didn't even glance at her, and ordered in a deep voice, "Alright, you've rested enough. Get in the carriage and let's go."
At a command, everyone got up and boarded the carriage. Jiang Feixue was also dragged onto the carriage. From beginning to end, no one cared about her being beaten. Everyone was indifferent. She could only swallow her anger and even had thoughts of death. But in the end, she held back. No, she couldn't let Feng Zixiao, Jiang Hailing, and Feng Qian get away with it. Their eyes were full of hatred.
That night, the group stayed at an inn.
In the middle of the night, men in black appeared and attempted to assassinate Hai Ling and Feng Qian. Feng Zixiao and Shen Ruoxuan naturally felt obligated to protect them. However, by the time they realized that the men's intention was not to assassinate them, but rather to lure them away, Jiang Feixue had already been kidnapped.
Although all the men in black were killed, Jiang Feixue's disappearance was a serious matter.
In the inn's room, Feng Qian paced back and forth, looking annoyed.
"It's all my fault. It's all my fault for being soft-hearted and keeping her. Now we're in trouble."
Inside the room, Feng Zixiao's face was gloomy. Hai Ling didn't say anything, as she was thinking about the future. After hearing Feng Qian's words, she couldn't bear to see her blame herself, so she tried to comfort her.
"Alright, don't blame yourself. We were all a bit careless. We forgot that Jiang Feixue has two capable subordinates missing. Black Fiend and White Fiend are both very skilled in martial arts. They have always doted on Jiang Feixue. Now that we have captured her, Black Fiend and White Fiend will definitely not stand idly by."
Shen Ruoxuan was worried about something else.
“Jiang Feixue has been kidnapped. Do you think she will immediately return to the capital and inform Jiang Batian that we are here to kill him? If that’s the case, I’m afraid it will be very difficult for us to succeed easily.”
"Logically, she should have returned to the capital, but that's not necessarily true."
Hai Ling spoke slowly. Jiang Feixue's mind had become extreme, and no one knew what she was thinking.
In fact, Jiang Feixue, as Jiang Batian's daughter, may not agree with his actions. Although Jiang Feixue hates Feng Zixiao and them, she may still hate Jiang Batian. Therefore, it is uncertain whether she will inform Jiang Batian.
"Let's be careful anyway."
Regardless, Jiang Feixue's disappearance left everyone feeling heavy-hearted, as if the future held even greater difficulties.
The people inside the room were in a somber mood when there was a knock on the door. The waiter's voice rang out from outside: "Sir, someone has delivered a letter."
Who would send a letter at a time like this? Hailing looked at Shimei and waved her hand. Shimei carefully walked over, opened the door, and looked at the waiter outside.
The waiter respectfully and carefully handed over a letter and then left.
These people don't look like the kind of people you should mess with; they're more like the chivalrous heroes of the martial arts world. He'd better avoid provoking them.
Shi Mei took out the letter and handed it to her master. Hai Ling was about to open it when Shen Ruoxuan immediately stopped her: "Wait a moment."
Then he walked over and carefully checked the envelope to make sure there was no poison or anything on it before handing it to Hailin with peace of mind.
Hai Ling opened the letter and read it for a while, then breathed a sigh of relief and even smiled, waving the envelope in her hand.
"Unexpectedly, someone secretly helped us and killed Hei Sha and Bai Sha who were trying to abduct Jiang Feixue. Jiang Feixue was also knocked off a cliff and her fate is unknown. With this, we have a great chance of winning if we hurry to the capital. Jiang Feixue's fate is unknown after being knocked off the cliff. Even if she is still alive, it is probably impossible for her to notify Jiang Batian in a short time. So we don't need to worry."
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief, but soon Feng Zixiao became suspicious.
"Who is this person hiding in the shadows, helping us? This means they've been watching us all along. If they're bad people, it's not a good thing."
Hai Ling fell silent, carefully examining the letter in her hand. She couldn't recognize the handwriting, and for a moment she really didn't know who had secretly helped them. Just as Feng Zixiao had said, what if it was a bad person?
However, as soon as Feng Zixiao finished speaking, Feng Qian understood that there were two groups of people secretly watching them. Helian and Ye Lingfeng and the others would naturally not harm them. Thinking of this, she smiled and spoke.
"I think the person hiding in the shadows would never harm us."
As soon as she opened her mouth, everyone stared at her and then asked in unison.
"How do you know he won't harm us?"
Feng Qian opened her mouth, wanting to talk about Helian and Ye Lingfeng, but then decided against it. Firstly, her brother didn't know about her relationship with Helian yet, so she didn't want him to react negatively. Secondly, since Ye Lingfeng didn't plan to show himself, it would be pointless for her to bring it up herself; he must have his own plans. So, with that in mind, she tried hard to come up with a topic.
"If he were a bad person, why would he help us and eliminate Black Fiend, White Fiend, and others?"
Although her explanation was somewhat unsatisfactory, it wasn't entirely unreasonable, and everyone fell silent.
Hai Ling glanced around and then instructed, "Alright, everyone go back and rest. Anyway, we don't need to worry about Jiang Feixue anymore. As for the people in the shadows, we'll just keep an eye on them. Be careful and watch their movements in the future, and see if we can find out who they are."
"good."
Everyone agreed, then got up and went back to their rooms to rest.
The next day, they continued their journey back to the capital. As for Jiang Feixue, everyone seemed to have forgotten about her. No one mentioned her. Anyway, she had fallen off a cliff, and it was still unknown whether she was alive or dead. Even if she was still alive, by the time she got back to the capital, they might have already eliminated Jiang Batian. What difference would it make if she came back?
Three days later, they arrived at Cangcheng, which was more than 100 miles from the capital. The group stayed at an inn in Cangcheng and decided to split into two groups to enter the capital the next day. This was because they were too big a target and that they would not attract attention if they entered the capital separately.
In Beijing now, Jiang Batian has many spies, so they have to be careful.
After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. Hailing also washed up and prepared to go to sleep when she heard someone knocking on the door. Shimei opened the door and was surprised to find Feng Zixiao standing outside. She blocked the door to prevent Feng Zixiao from entering and then turned to ask Hailing in the room for permission.
"Master, it's Young Master Feng."
Throughout the journey, they all addressed Feng Zixiao as Young Master Feng, firstly because he was not currently the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and secondly, to avoid revealing his true identity, they used this form of address.
