Feng Ning Yan was suddenly pushed into the room. When she turned around, she saw that the heavy wooden door had been blocked by Shen Ling Jue's body. She was anxious and angry at the same time.
She stomped her feet. "Do you think you are a meat shield?! Always blocking in front of me … "
Helpless, she could only search through this room for evidence.
The room wasn't big, but hearing the sounds of swords clashing outside and the killer's scream, she was so anxious that she started to sweat profusely.
"Feng Ningyan, he's buying you time outside. You can't let him down!"
She took a deep breath, steadied herself, and began to rummage through the evidence.
In the end, not only had she found the killer's roster in her desk, but she had also found the handwritten letter from Prince Shen Di in the secret compartment, the order to send assassins to ambush the wedding procession, and the order to send people to kill Li Yu, as well as the message from the pigeon that sent the fifty killers to explore Prince Yu's Mansion during the night.
She was about to leave when she saw a set of clothes and a belt hanging on a hanger by the wall. On the belt was something very strange.
She quickly took it off and looked at it. It seemed like the back part was the one she was holding, the front part was an iron pipe, while the front part of the pipe only had a small hole in it.
She suddenly realized that this thing was not normal, so she put it on her body.
After that, he used the tarpaulin to wrap these items tightly and stuffed them into the clothes on his back. Immediately, he knocked on the door.
When Shen Ling Jue heard Feng Ning Yan knocking the door, she changed from defending to attacking, creating a path for her.
The two of them stood back to back as they rushed towards the entrance of the tunnel. The place was very cramped, and those assassins couldn't rush up either. They could only watch the two of them enter the tunnel.
Feng Ning Yan carried the evidence and left first. Shen Ling Jue threw a Fireball and exploded the hole, causing the soil and rocks to fall and the hole to collapse.
At this time, Pei Shi, who was chasing Shen Ling Jue out of the battle arena, received a report that a spy had broken into the battle arena. Unexpectedly, it was already too late and he quickly rushed down from the cellar.
Looking at the messy room and the sealed tunnel entrance, Pei Shi gritted his teeth in hatred, "Send orders to all the assassins on the floor. Kill every suspicious person on sight!"
He still did not know that the Witch Doctor Ye Bailu had also escaped.
Shen Ling Jue and Feng Ning Yan followed the markings left behind by Jing Cha and Ye Bai Ku, and quickly left the tunnel.
Outside the tunnel, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. It was hard to see the sky and the sea.
The sea breeze blew, bringing with it the sound of assassins scolding.
On the surface of the sea, a ship was rapidly approaching. It was the ship that the men from King Yu's Estate had prepared at the Southern Wilderness.
Jing Qi carried Ye Bailu on his back as he waved to Feng Ningyan and Shen Ling Jue, and the two of them immediately went over.
"There they are!"
At this moment, the killers had already discovered that the four people had blown the conch horn, and all the patrolling guards had rushed over.
"This is bad!"
The ship was still at least a few hundred feet away from the shore, but the killers were like a pack of hungry wolves as they quickly surrounded them.
"Jingqi, enter the water!"
Shen Ling Jue gave the order flatly, swinging his sword horizontally, cutting off a very thick tree, pushing it into the sea.
Jing Cha quickly placed Ye Bai Ku on a tree, made him lie on top of it, jumped into the water and held him up.
Ye Baiku knew that all three of them were on the island. In such a critical moment, if he hesitated for even a second, all three of them were in danger of death.
However, they did not abandon him, this burden. Instead, they wanted to bring him away with them at all costs.
While Feng Ning Yan was blocking the incoming killers, Shen Ling Jue turned around and waved his sword, sweeping across the surface of the sea, creating a three meter tall wave, surging forward.
The water current rushed towards that tree, and that tree seemed to have turned into a small boat. It followed the wave and rapidly flew towards the ship.
With one hand grabbing onto a branch, Jingqi followed the wave like a fish. When she reached the bottom of the boat, she used an eagle hook to tie it around Ye Bailu's waist and whistled, ordering the guards on the boat to pull him up.
Ye Bailu's body rapidly rose up into the air. Seeing Shen Ling Jue and Feng Ning Yan fighting side by side not far from him, he couldn't help but feel a sour smell from his nose.
Seeing that Ye Bailu had been settled in, Shen Ling Jue held Feng Ning Yan tightly, "I'm ready! "Let's go!"
Feng Ning Yan had yet to finish her off when she turned around and threw out all her arrows. The assassins that were chasing after them immediately fell to the ground.
Shen Ling Jue lightly tapped the surface of the water a few times with his toes, like a swallow, and jumped onto the surface of the water in a perfect arc, jumping onto his boat.
Standing on the deck, he put down Feng Ning Yan and turned back to look at Pei Shi who was flustered and exasperated on the shore. He waved his hand slightly and said, "Top Scorer Pei, we shall meet again in the future!"
The ship rapidly left the sea area, but it did not approach the southern border. Instead, it headed north.
Now that they had the evidence and had rescued the Witch Doctor, they no longer needed to go to the southern border.
The night on the sea was so quiet that there was not a single sound.
Shen Lingjue and Jingqi lit up an oil lamp and sat on the mast of the ship's bow, studying the letter she brought out from the arena, as well as the strange item that was made up of an iron pipe handle.
Feng Ning Yan, on the other hand, was using a newly built wheelchair to push Ye Bai Ku around the deck.
It had been a long time since he had seen the sky outside. Even though it was dark, it was a strange and beautiful night.
He pointed out those familiar stars and told Feng Ningyan the story of every star in the legends of the Miao people.
Seeing that he was very happy, Feng Ning Yan said, "Mr. Ye, now that you know that we're from the Great Yue State, I won't hide this from you. We need to return to the Great Yue State first and properly arrange the things we found on the island. Once you are ashore, I will send someone to escort you back to Black Miao Village. "
Ye Bai smiled bitterly, "Miss Feng specifically emphasized that it was because of the war between the Great Yue State and the southern border."
"Yes."
"Don't worry, Miao Renlong will not participate in the war between you Han people. We have always protected our territory and will not get involved with the Han people of the southern border, let alone our friends from the Great Wu."
Hearing the two words "friend", Feng Ningyan happily smiled and said, "Exactly! We are friends! "
Seeing her smiling so happily, Ye Bailu couldn't help but sigh.
"Young lady, you are infected with the Love Parasite, it is already not easy for you to withstand a few attacks. But the insect poison is still there, and I still don't understand, why are you smiling so happily? "
Feng Ning Yan gave a faint smile as she turned to look at Shen Ling Jue below the mast.
"Because we are a big step away from success. "This evidence is enough to reveal the wolf's ambition behind the skeleton island. A great hatred can be avenged, and a great enemy can be eliminated. Like he said, the day when we return to the capital is the day where our enemies perish. How can I not be happy?"
At this time, Shen Ling Jue walked down from the stage and slightly nodded to Ye Bai Ku.
"Mr. Ye."
Ye Bailu nodded his head and said, "Young Master Shen."
Shen Ling Jue looked at Feng Ning Yan and said, "It's cold on the deck. Go back to your room and put on a cloak. Then, you can look at the stars."
Feng Ning Yan didn't feel cold at all, and she saw Shen Ling Jue reading the books, suddenly walking down and leaving her behind. This made her a little uneasy.
"No need, unless you have something you want to say to Mr. Ye in private." She tested his meaning.
Shen Lingjue was found out, and he was speechless.
Ye Bailu let out a faint sigh, "I can see that you two are a perfect couple for each other. After you've completed this major task, there should be more worrying things that you need to ask me next. "
