Shengjing Noble

Chapter 476: Unstoppable

When she returned, she was very glad that she had put up marks when she came out, otherwise in such a big forest, she might get lost if she was not careful.

She was not worried about not being able to get out of the forest. After all, as long as she found the water source, she could just walk downstream.

But what about Fu Wuyang?

We can't just leave him in that cave and let him die, can we?

Thinking of this, Su Lanyin quickened her pace a bit, but after all, she was injured, so she couldn't walk as fast as usual.

When they returned to the cave, Fu Wuyang was lying there motionless with his eyes closed. Su Lanyin's heart tightened and she immediately went over to check on him.

I was relieved to find that he was just asleep.

Maybe I'm really too tired.

She didn't care about anything else and quickly took out the fish she had caught by the river and grilled it.

After a while, the cave was filled with the aroma of grilled fish, and even the sleeping Fu Wuyang slowly opened his eyes.

“What’s that smell…”

He frowned and looked to the side, only to find that Su Lanyin was grilling fish. He couldn't help swallowing.

He hasn't eaten since last night.

"Awake? Wait, drink some water before you eat."

Su Lanyin walked over to help him, but as soon as she sat up, she felt dizzy and almost fell down again.

"What's wrong?" she asked with concern.

"Headache...especially my temples..." He gritted his teeth, trying to endure it, but it was so painful that even his vision began to become increasingly blurry.

"It's probably because the toxins haven't been cleared yet. We don't have any medicine right now. You hold on for a while. Once you have recovered some strength, we'll find a chance to leave here."

"Ah."

Su Lanyin fed him a few sips of water, then tore off the fish meat and fed it to him bit by bit.

"Although this kind of fish is easy to catch, it has a lot of bones. Although I have picked them out for you by hand, you still have to be careful when eating it."

"Well, thank you for taking care of me."

"Since you are so grateful to me, you better hold on and let me save some energy."

"Okay." He smiled and opened his mouth to eat the fish she fed him.

The two were eating grilled fish when they suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside the cave, getting closer and closer.

And the sound sounded like a group of people!

"Could it be those assassins?"

Su Lanyin's heart was filled with alarm, and she didn't care about the things on the ground. She quickly helped Fu Wuyang up and walked deeper into the cave.

However, they did not walk for long before they reached the end of the cave and there was no further way forward.

Behind them, the footsteps were getting closer and closer. They squatted in a dark corner, praying silently that the group of people would not discover them.

Unfortunately, the leading few people held torches and instantly illuminated the dark cave clearly.

Su Lanyin and Fu Wuyang had nowhere to hide.

The good news is that the person who came was not an assassin.

The bad news is that these people appear to be bandits.

Leading the group was the leader of the bandits, and the people around him called him Big Brother.

"Brother, there really is someone here. He actually dared to enter our territory. He is really looking for death!" A tall and burly dark-skinned man said ferociously.

"Come here, take them back and interrogate them slowly to find out what their intentions are."

Another thin man ordered.

Several bandits came over with knives in hand. Su Lanyin touched her sleeves and found that there were no hidden weapons left.

Fu Wuyang was injured and in critical condition. As a woman with a swollen ankle, no matter how strong she was, she could not defeat so many bandits.

What's more, they are armed.

A head-on confrontation is obviously an unwise move.

Thinking of this, she immediately raised her hands, knelt on the ground and cried, "My king, please spare my life! My brother and I were persecuted by the government and chased all the way to this mountain, ah ...

Since they are bandits, they probably have a grudge against the government.

She was absolutely right.

The leader of the bandits was named Fang Hengzhi. He didn't look as rough as the bearded guys next to him, but he was also tall and strong.

Moreover, his face looked particularly upright. If one had not seen him in this situation, it would have been hard to imagine that such a handsome man with thick eyebrows and big eyes would be a bandit who killed people without blinking an eye.

Fortunately, Su Lanyin's words worked, and Fang Hengzhi immediately stopped those minions.

He personally stepped forward with a torch in hand, and then said condescendingly: "Look up."

Su Lanyin was nervous, but she couldn't resist, so she had to raise her head obediently.

She had been chased today, and had carried Fu Wuyang into the cave alone. Plus, she had just grilled fish, so she looked disheveled and in a miserable state.

She is completely different from the bright and charming girl of the past.

Fang Hengzhi saw her appearance, nodded and said, "It seems that she is indeed here to escape."

If it was fake, it would be impossible to act out this look and this tired expression.

"But my rule is to pluck the feathers of the passing geese. If you and your brother can get the things from before, I will let you leave here safely. Otherwise, this cave will be your burial place."

Su Lanyin thought that she only had a jade pendant given by Fu Wuyang on her, but if she handed it over, wouldn’t she be exposed?

Regardless of whether this group of bandits are extremely vicious, let’s just say that they have captured a fallen and seriously injured royal relative, how could they let him go easily?

Judging from the reactions of these bandits just now, it is almost certain that they and the imperial court are absolutely irreconcilable.

Therefore, Fu Wuyang’s identity must not be exposed.

Thinking of this, she hurriedly said: "We came here to avoid being hunted down. The carriage was shot into a hedgehog by arrows, and we didn't bring any valuables down. However, my family is very rich. As long as you let us go, I promise..."

Before Su Lanyin finished her words, a flash of cold light appeared and landed directly in front of her.

The sharp blade was against her throat. Fang Hengzhi smiled coldly: "I've seen many people like you who are slick and cunning! Stop talking nonsense. Either hand over the valuables or I'll send someone to search!"

Fu Wuyang saw that Su Lanyin was in danger, and rushed forward while enduring the pain in his body.

"Let her go...uh..."

Unfortunately, he fell to the ground again just after he got up. The wound opened and blood oozed from the place that had just been bandaged.

He was hiding behind just now and the bandits didn't notice his appearance.

Now that he was lying under the torch, he could be seen clearly.

Large patches of blood on his body had dried up, and Su Lanyin didn't even bother to wipe them off.

So it is particularly shocking to see it this way.

Even the ferocious bandits couldn't help but frown and couldn't bear to look directly at it.

"It's such a serious injury. The dog official was very cruel." said the dark-skinned burly man.

"Look at the black bloodstains, it must be poisoning. This person probably won't survive," said another thin man.

Fang Hengzhi paused, thinking about the things he saw when he came in just now.
