She turned her head to look and only saw a white shadow flash past. In a split-second, she realized that the white shadow was a wolf! It's that white wolf called the Liufeng!

The Liufeng bared its fangs and pounced towards her quickly. Its sharp fangs gave off a blinding light under the reflection of the sunlight, and Bai Zheng could even clearly see that the claws the Liufeng pounced on her with were like thorns.

Bai Zheng was stunned, she stood there, her entire body feeling as though she had fallen into an ice cellar, filled with fear, yet unable to move.

"Liufeng!" In that moment of life and death, Bai Zheng suddenly heard a voice sound out from behind him, and immediately after, she fell into the embrace of a light medicine.

Bai Zheng was in a daze, hearing the person behind him groan, the force of the person leaning on her body became heavier and heavier.

She turned her head in a daze and saw Feng Linyuan, who had gently said that there was no need to be courteous, turn pale almost transparent.

He leaned against her shoulder, frowning as if in great pain.

The perpetrator, Liufeng, whimpered, completely panicking as she circled Feng Linyuan.

Its actions just now were too hasty, and it wanted to kill Bai Zheng. However, it did not expect Feng Linyuan's movements to be faster, causing it to not even have the time to retract its claws when it pounced towards Feng Linyuan.

Now that he saw that his master had been injured by him in order to protect this girl, the Liufeng naturally knew that he had recognized the wrong person and done the wrong thing.

"Master Hou!" There were shouts from nearby, and the silence in the courtyard was immediately broken. Blacksmiths were running all over the place, some looking for people, some for medicine.

"Back to my room." Feng Linyuan lifted his thin lips that was completely devoid of blood, her tone was calm, but it was not at all convincing.

Only now did Bai Zheng regain her senses. She knew that Feng Linyuan was injured on her back, so she did not dare to move recklessly.

The Liufeng followed behind with its tail hanging down.

There was a pavilion on the south side of the courtyard. Bai Zheng supported Feng Linyuan and walked into the pavilion and carefully helped him to the edge of the bed to sit down.

"Liufeng." As if he had sensed Liufeng's depressed and remorseful emotions, Feng Linyuan who was leaning on the side of the bed slowly spoke.

The Liufeng immediately perked up its ears and wagged its tail as it walked to Feng Linyuan's side.

Feng Linyuan rubbed the Liufeng's head and chuckled: "I'm fine." Although its voice was weak, it still carried a usual gentleness, as if it was comforting it, but also as if it was comforting Bai Zheng.

Bai Zheng looked at Feng Linyuan's expression and ignored his comforting words, turning around to check on the wound on his back. The claws of the Liufeng deeply cut through Feng Linyuan's back. One could almost see the bones;

Seeing that, the Liufeng jumped onto the bed in a hurry to help lick the wound.

Bai Zheng blocked it, and said coldly: "The doctor will be here soon, we will bandage him up, you can just stand by the side."

The Liufeng lowered its head in excitement. It whimpered and drooped its huge head, walking to the side.

Actually, when Feng Linyuan was just injured, he had caught a glimpse of a black figure from the corner of his eye. He had wanted to get closer to the black figure, but for some reason, he turned and flew away.

When she saw the wound previously, Bai Zheng understood that the shadow must be Feng Linyuan's man. The moment she saw him injured, he immediately went to find a doctor.

Feng Linyuan leaned on the side of the bed, his face was still pale, his eyes suddenly opened, and his gaze slowly turned towards Bai Zheng.

Bai Zheng sat up straight: "What's wrong?"

Feng Linyuan stared at Bai Zheng's bun and smiled faintly: "Miss Bai, this hairpin looks really nice."

Bai Zheng's face changed, she suddenly remembered that before the Liufeng pounced at her, her only movement was to raise her head.

She suddenly took off the steps on her head and gave it to Feng Linyuan, and said coldly: "Is there anything strange about this step? Is that why Liufeng wanted to hurt me? "

Feng Linyuan caressed the topaz stone with a slight smile: "All these years, I have already lost count of the number of assassins of all sizes that my Mansion of Dingyuan Marquis has encountered. Those assassins that entered the Mansion of Dingyuan Marquis, none of them returned alive. But only that person. "

Feng Linyuan paused for a moment, a sharp light flashing across his eyes.

"When that person charged into the manor, he happened to meet this marquis with another illness. Fortunately, the Liufeng pounced towards me in time to save my life. Although this marquis also heavily injured him, he was still able to escape."

Feng Linyuan narrated casually, his calm expression making it seem as if he was narrating someone else's story. But Bai Zheng knew what kind of danger and bloodshed was hidden under this calmness.

"That person is wearing a mask, his entire body doesn't look different." At first, I thought that the color of the light was due to the candle flame, but after seeing Miss Bai's hairpin today, I had a new idea. "

As Feng Linyuan spoke, he slowly stood up and walked towards a ray of sunlight by the window.

Bai Zheng suddenly turned her head to look at the Liufeng. When the Liufeng saw the light reflected off the topaz stone, the corner of its mouth unconsciously exposed its teeth.

Bai Zheng believed that if the one shaking him was not Feng Linyuan, the Liufeng would have rushed towards him again.

"So that's how it is." Bai Zheng coldly looked at the yellow jade stone as she shook it with each step.

In fact, although topaz was precious, it was not that rare. Almost every rich family's jewelry box that loved to look beautiful would have a hairpin embedded with topaz.

However, because Feng Linyuan was a man, he did not know much about jewelry, and normally, he did not go out of the clan for much, nor did he have any women's families within his Mansion of Dingyuan Marquis.

If not for today, when Bai Zheng accidentally brought out the yellow jade and wore it, she was afraid that she would not have been able to find any clues regarding the assassin.

"How does the marquis determine that the step I just unintentionally wore has nothing to do with the assassin from that day?" Bai Zheng thought about something and suddenly asked.

Feng Linyuan smiled faintly when he heard this. "Wouldn't it be the best time to hurt this duke if Miss Bai wanted to?"

Just a moment ago, Feng Linyuan had protected his within his embrace, so he had left to find the doctor. The Liufeng was now in a state of remorse, if Bai Zheng had just stabbed him with a sword …

"Moreover, what happened today, was because this duke wasn't kind to you in the first place, so you should give Miss Bai an explanation." Feng Linyuan turned, and was about to return, but suddenly frowned.

Bai Zheng quickly walked forward and helped Feng Linyuan back to the bed and sat down.

Why isn't the doctor here yet? Where did Soong Yiqing go?

There were only Bai Zheng and Feng Linyuan in the room, the Liufeng thought that they saw its master's back, and became even more anxious.

Bai Zheng was worried, she checked Feng Linyuan's wound again and when she saw it, she gasped for breath.
