always held a concern in her heart, wanting to rely on Zongbo's imperial examinations to gain fame and go to the capital to find a husband. Furthermore, she had grown up reading Confucian classics a...Chapter 1204: Let's Go to the County Office Together.

The pack of wolves was incredibly fast. It was difficult for Fang Jinshu and the other two to outrun the four-legged desert wolves with just their legs. Being surrounded was therefore expected.

And wolves are such vengeful creatures. She had just shot one in the leg, and the way these wolves were looking at her, they seemed eager to tear her apart.

"What can we do Jinxiu Street, you have to think of a way!"

At the last moment, if I can't get rid of these wolves, I'll have to reveal the secret of my space.

Zhao Xingzhou seemed to have sensed Fang Jinxiu's intentions. He took a step forward, raised the sword in his hand, and without hesitation, drew a deep gash across his left arm. Both Fang Jinxiu and the other person were taken aback.

"Are you crazy These wolves will go even crazier and chase us relentlessly if they smell blood!"

Fang Jinxiu tried to stop the bleeding from Zhao Xingzhou's arm, but he dodged her.

"I'll go distract the wolf pack, you take Young Master Sheng and run as fast as you can."

Fāng Jǐnxīu's whole body stiffened. Zhào Xīngzhōu was actually planning to sacrifice himself to lure away the wolf pack

She instinctively wanted to refuse, even though she always said that if Zhao Xingzhou held her back and was useless, she would just leave him behind.

But when the time came for him to sacrifice himself for their safety, she realized she couldn't go through with it.

The wolves were already restless. This pack of damned beasts wouldn't give them a chance to negotiate slowly, especially after Zhao Xingzhou had scratched his arm and the smell of blood stimulated these beasts.

Before she could even speak, the pack of wolves charged straight at her.

Zhao Xingzhou shoved Fang Jinshi hard and shouted at her, "Quickly take Your Highness away, go!"

Just as they were speaking, a wolf pounced and bit Zhao Xingzhou's arm. Fang Jinshi gritted her teeth and clenched her fist.

Zhao Xingzhou's gaze told her everything. In that instant, she understood why he had made this decision. He was risking his life to protect the secret of her space.

Asheng's identity is too special. Even though they are on the same boat now, they are destined not to always be on the same side. In the future, when he becomes the emperor of Xixia, no one can guarantee that he won't turn around and covet Fang Jinshu's space.

The mere ability of the spring water to nourish and bring forth all things would be enough to make any emperor envious, let alone her ability to use the spring and space to store everything in the world, and research drugs that can slow down aging.

Any emperor who knew her secret would be unable to remain calm and unmoved.

Zhao Xingzhou couldn't allow Fang Jinshu to take this risk. Otherwise, even if she completed the mission and resolved the war crisis for Daxixi, she wouldn't be able to live a peaceful life for the rest of her days.

It was precisely because she understood Zhao Xingzhou's meaning that Fang Jinshi felt a deep and unbearable pain in her heart.

"Go!"

Asheng almost thought he had heard wrong.

"Sister Jinxiu, what are you saying"

"Should we just leave Zhao Ge to his fate If we don't help him, he'll die."

Fan Jinshu ran forward, pulling A Sheng along, while gritting her teeth and suppressing her tears, she snarled.

“If you die, our plan to go to Xixia will be ruined, and all the crimes we committed before will have been in vain!”

"Do you think I'd let Zhao Xingzhou go to his death"

The pack of wolves behind was truly held back by him, not catching up. Although Zhao Xingzhou had done wrong to her in the past, she couldn't deny his affection and help for her.

People's hearts are made of flesh. She calculated that she had no romantic feelings for Zhao Xingzhou. After all, they had known each other for so many years and lived under the same roof for so long, having also gone through several life-and-death experiences together. She had long treated him as a family member or friend.

Looking at him taking the initiative to go to his death, Fang Jinshu felt more pain than anyone else.

But she couldn't let Zhao Xingzhou's death be in vain.

Lü He Village, Xixia, she will definitely get her revenge!

A Sheng closed his mouth and said nothing more. Fang Jinxiu walked, and he silently followed. The two of them hid in the jungle for several days, dodging wolf packs on one hand, and unable to find a way out on the other.

Once you lose your way in the woods, it's very difficult to find the right direction.

Fortunately, Fang Jinshi still had some ways to distinguish directions. After five days, the two finally left the forest and saw a real village, to be precise, a town.

"Great, finally seeing some normal people."

Asheng was so touched that he almost cried. Five days of jungle escape had exhausted him both physically and mentally, and this excitement caused him to faint.

When he woke up, he saw the normal ceiling and bed canopy above his head. He let out a sigh of relief, and then the previous memories surged back. Asheng sat up nervously, his face full of concern.

"Woke up."

Fang Jinshui was sitting at a table not far from him, her face still pale and sickly. Had she not rested at all this whole time

"Come eat something, we're leaving soon to head for the capital."

During Asheng's coma, she inquired about the distance from here to the capital city. Even hiring a carriage would take over a month to get there, so she had to set off as soon as possible.

Asheng wore an expression of wanting to speak but holding back. He got out of bed, put on his clothes, and walked to Fang Jinxiu's side.

I always feel that Jinxiu has changed from before.

"Jinxiu Jie, me, us... aren't we going to look for Zhao Ge in the woods"

Even if a person dies, at least bring their body back and take it back to their hometown for burial.

Although A Sheng was the prince of Xixia, he had never been taken seriously and no one had ever sacrificed their life for him. When he saw Zhao Xingzhou rushing out to divert the wolves with his own flesh and blood, leaving them a glimmer of hope, he couldn't help but be shocked.

So he couldn't bear it.

Fang Jinxiu remained silent. If she wasn't afraid of being too conspicuous and revealing her identity, she would have hired a large group of people to wipe out the pack of wolves in the forest long ago to avenge Zhao Xingzhou.

"Can't find it Stop wasting time, finish eating and clean up quickly, let's go."

Upon finishing her words, Fang Jinshi got up and left. A Sheng could only quickly fill his stomach.

Outside the inn, a carriage was parked. Fang Jinxiu had been sitting on top of it for a long time, and Ah Sheng rushed out after packing himself as quickly as possible.

Both of them were taken aback when they got into the carriage. They were both people who only sat in cars and had never driven before. Now that Zhao Xingzhou was gone, someone had to take the driver's seat.

Fang Jinshi only paused for a moment before getting up and coming out.

"You sit there, I'll drive."

A Sheng was taken aback and quickly waved his hand, snatching the reins from her.

"No, no, no, Sister Jinxiu, you should sit in the back, I'll drive."

A Sheng wouldn't dare to act arrogant in front of Fang Jinshi, but the more he behaved with such humility, the more Fang Jinshi worried. Could someone like this truly rule Xixia in the future

It's probably that once you sit on the throne, every three days someone will try to usurp it.

Compared to Fang Jinshu's headache over these matters, A Sheng didn't feel at all that what he was doing was wrong.

He was sitting precariously outside the carriage frame, just having pulled up the reins and prepared to start, when suddenly a squad of soldiers rushed out in front of him.

"Get out of the car! We suspect you are murderers, come with us to the county office!"n."To be honest, I owe him an apology.""In both reason and emotion, I wouldn't leave him unattended."I came tonight just to see how his wounds were doing. Although I treated his wound on the mountain...
