As the sky gradually darkened, Wei Haohao and the Crown Princess walked aimlessly in the remote woods. They had completely lost their bearings. They were walking along forest paths, and there were no roads at all. Although it was very hard to walk back and forth, the assassins who were chasing them would also lose their absolute advantage in action.
"I can't, I really can't walk." The princess slumped on the ground without any image, gasping for air.
The four of them ran away all the way and had already lost their strength. Only the occasional sound of swords coming from behind them made them dare not stop.
"You have to do it no matter what. Do you want to be caught by them? They will definitely do that first and then kill you." Wei Haohao tried to motivate her with words.
Zhijing, the maid of the Crown Princess, said: "I'm really tired, Princess, let's take a rest. There is no sound coming from behind now, maybe the assassin has left."
"No, we can't take any chances. Let's find a safe place first and then rest. After so long, they will definitely come to rescue us."
The Crown Princess was reluctantly persuaded. She struggled to stand up, but felt a sharp pain in her ankle. She screamed and sat down again.
Wei Haohao asked hurriedly: "What's wrong? Where does it hurt?"
The princess rubbed her ankle. She didn't know whether it was sprained or because she had been running for too long. Her ankles were so swollen that it looked like it would be difficult for her to walk.
"What should we do?"
When several people were helpless, the assassin's voice came from not far away. They didn't know what the words were, and they couldn't hear a word of it. I understand, but it’s obvious that the other person hasn’t left yet.
Several people hurriedly covered their mouths and moved slowly as much as possible without making a sound. After walking a few steps, Lu Rong's feet were obviously more painful, and she had to use external force to move them. Finally, there was a mound in front of her. She just breathed a sigh of relief and sat down to rest for a while. However, the moment she put her hand on the mound, she touched nothing. She exclaimed as her waist seemed to be stuck in a gap, making her unable to move. The four of them clearly felt that the assassin's footsteps seemed to be closer to them.
The three of them quickly pulled the princess out, but it was obvious that they would not be able to outrun the assassins if they escaped now. In desperation, Wei Haohao took a closer look to see if the cave could hide people.
The cave entrances were very low, some were under the ground, and were covered by weeds and shrubs, which was why they didn't notice them at first. The exposed part on the ground is only about five or six centimeters high, and is quite spacious laterally. However, the cave is oval in shape, and only one person can enter at its widest point. It was too late to think about it now. Wei Haohao pointed at himself and went down to explore the way first. It would be best if he could hide. If not, they really have no choice.
Fortunately, the entrance of this cave is narrower, but the inside is very spacious, and it will not be a problem to accommodate more than ten people. Wei Haohao came out again, and got in with everyone. Throughout the whole process, the four of them communicated with their bodies and did not dare to speak.
After all four people entered the cave entrance, they hid in the innermost part of the cave entrance, as far away from the cave entrance as possible, and then sat quietly without talking.
Before long, the assassin's footsteps sounded. The assassin's voice was still incomprehensible, but there was a voice they could understand coming from inside.
"It's nearby, they can't run far."
They are from Jinyun country, there is no doubt about it. As for those who spoke in a language he couldn't understand, Wei Haohao thought carefully about where he had heard similar pronunciations.
The assassin left temporarily. The four of them breathed a sigh of relief, but still did not dare to speak.
Wei Haohao felt that there was some flesh behind him, so he picked up the thing and took a look. The princess was so frightened that the thing turned out to be a bone, and it looked like a leftover skull. This frightened the four of them so much that they suspected that this cave might be a place where some ferocious beasts lived.

Fortunately, no shadow of the beast was found, but the voice came from outside the cave again, "The sound is nearby, split up and look carefully."
Everyone became more and more excited. Don't dare to move. After another moment, the other party seemed to finally notice this strange mound.
"Come on, let's go down and have a look."
The four people inside were very nervous. Isn't this just waiting for something to happen? Their four fat rabbits had already hit the pillar, waiting for the hunter to find them. There is really no way to run away.
The four of them were nervous and didn't know what to do. Wei Haohao didn't want to sit still and wait for death, so he looked for rocks at hand, and he had to pull a few people to support him before he died. Finally I found a suitable big stone, took it in my hand and hid near the entrance of the cave.
The assassins are all tall and powerful, and it is really difficult to get into such a small cave. They picked the thinnest person to go in, but he was stuck at the entrance of the cave for a long time and couldn't get in.
There was a certain distance between the hole and the ground, so after the man squeezed in, he hit his head on the ground and fell to pieces. The people outside heard the noise and asked, "Are you okay?"
The man didn't know what to say in reply, so it became quiet outside. Before the man got up, his back was turned. When he was lying on the ground, Wei Haohao hit the man on the head with a rock without hesitation. The man twitched twice on the spot and passed out without even saying a word.
Wei Haohao was also frightened and did not dare to mend the stone or make a sound. Weiwei returned to the innermost place tremblingly.
People outside could not hear clearly what was going on inside, but after a while of burning incense, there was still no sound inside, so people outside would naturally make guesses.
The situation inside was unknown and the risk of sending people in again was very high. Therefore, they changed toUse fire to attack the smoke, trying to force the people inside to come out.
But the fire also pointed out the direction for the prince who came to look for him.
After a fight, these people were all captured. The blocked branches were removed, and the prince shouted inside: "Is there anyone? Who is inside? Ronger, is it you?"
When the prince heard the prince's voice, she cried as if she had received an amnesty. He responded: "Brother Prince."
Although it was more difficult to get out than when going in, fortunately the danger was removed and the four of them left there safely.
The prince hugged the princess and refused to let go. Wei Haohao watched with great enjoyment. I couldn't help but think, where did this guy Li Jun go?
Fortunately, she didn't have to wait long. Li Jun heard the sound of fighting and hurried over. As soon as he saw Wei Haohao, he quickly dismounted from his horse and hugged him. Only then did Wei Haohao feel a little satisfied.
"Ah." Li Jun accidentally squeezed Wei Haohao's arm, and a tearing pain suddenly hit him.
"Are you injured?" Li Jun asked nervously.
