The assassins on the mountain would not give them time to prepare. The leader of the assassins waved his hand, and hundreds of assassins flew down.

Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen still picked leaves to use as hidden weapons. The leaves in their hands flew out. Many people were unable to dodge and were hit, and many people blocked them with swords.

The martial arts of this batch of assassins are higher than those of the previous three batches, and they have adopted new strategies.

A small number of people besieged several secret guards, and the others besieged Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen respectively.

There were at least 300 assassins surrounding the two men.

More than a hundred people are fighting against one person, and all of them are masters. Even if they have three heads and six arms, it will be difficult to win.

Moreover, Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen had already played three games, and a lot of internal energy had been consumed. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were at the end of their efforts.

Even though she was wearing a soft gold silk armor vest, her body was still stained quickly, and her arms and thighs were injured. After a feint, she flew up, tapped her toes between the big trees, and used Qing Kung Fu to escape.

Xiao Yichen's situation was similar to Shen Jia's. More than a hundred assassins attacked him like crazy. He was injured in many places on his body. After barely dodging their killing moves several times, he held a sword with his long arm and swept across the circle. Then he immediately flew up, tapped the assassin's head with his toes, and used Qing Kung Fu to escape.

Seeing this, the assassin leader said coldly: "Chase them from all directions. Don't let them escape."

Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen fled in front, with hundreds of assassins chasing after them.

They didn't dare to relax at all, and used Qinggong to go straight to the mountains, where they could hide better and fight guerrilla warfare.

They didn't know how long it took, but they stopped until they gradually couldn't hear the assassin's voice.

They immediately sat on the ground and adjusted their breath with luck, and it took a week for them to feel alive after the inner force was running.

Xiao Yichen quickly took out a small porcelain bottle from his backpack and applied medicine to each other.

They were all slightly injured and just sprinkled with hemostatic powder.

Only then did Shen Jia have the intention to look around carefully. This was a primeval forest, sparsely populated, with towering ancient trees blocking the sky, but he could faintly hear the sound of running water.

In order to escape the pursuit of the assassins, they ran straight into the mountains in a panic. Where on earth were they?
Xiao Yichen saw the confusion in her eyes, "Huangsha Ridge belongs to a branch of the Moshan Mountain Range. We are running from Huangsha Ridge to the deep mountains. This should be deep in the Moshan Mountain Mountain Range."

Shen Jia smiled and said: "No matter where it is, we have got rid of the assassin."

Xiao Yichen held her hand: "I've made you tired. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been hunted down to this point."

Shen Jia waved his hand, "It doesn't matter! A blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise. Maybe we will get unexpected gains here!"

Xiao Yichen hugged Shen Jia emotionally. His Jiajia was like this. No matter what difficulties she encountered, she would never feel sorry for herself or complain in her heart. She could always adjust her mood quickly and find a solution quickly.

"Okay, let's go find something to eat! I've been hungry for so long, I think I can eat a cow." Shen Jia patted Xiao Yichen on the back and said.

"Okay! Let's find the water source first."

The two of them walked in the direction of the sound of water. It was late autumn now, and the fruits were abundant and intoxicating. The two of them picked a lot of wild fruits and started gnawing them.

They are all frequent visitors to the deep mountains and old forests. If they don't know the wild fruits, they will see if any birds have eaten them. If the birds have eaten them, it proves that the fruits are non-toxic and delicious.

The two of them were half full, so they were no longer in a hurry to find water. Shen Jia pulled some vines and made two baskets to look for herbs.

Medicinal materials that grow in the north, such as ginseng, astragalus, and licorice, are not available in Lingnan.

They also need to find the ingredients to make the poison. Only with the poison in hand can they feel confident. Carrying baskets, they wandered through the deep mountains and old forests and found a lot of medicinal materials for making poison. They also found a 100-year-old ginseng root. They also found a lot of astragalus and other medicinal herbs, and they also found yam.

Shen Jia looked at the winding vines in front of him. The vines were covered with large and small yam beans, and his eyes narrowed with joy.

She didn't find yam in Lingnan, but found it here in Jizhou.

"A Chen, this is a yam. It is both medicinal and food. The yield is very high and can be grown in both the north and the south. We will pick all the yam beans on the vines and plant them next year."

Xiao Yichen immediately rolled up his sleeves and picked off all the yam beans on the vines.

Shen Jiaze took out a dagger and whittled a wooden hoe out. She wanted to dig up some yams and roast them.

After Xiao Yichen picked the yam beans, he took the wooden hoe and started digging yams according to Shen Jia's instructions.

Yams grown in later generations were planted in ditches, while wild yams grow straight underground and are deep-rooted plants.

The soil here is not very hard, and it didn't take long for Xiao Yichen to quickly dig out five yams, which were more than a foot long. The largest one was as wide as a palm, and the smallest one was four fingers wide.

There are quite a few left, and if the timing hadn't been right, Shen Jia would have really wanted to poach them all.

As it winds down, the sound of rushing water gets closer and closer. In front of it is a not-high cliff, only a few feet high. There is nothing in the middle. Below the cliff is a crystal clear river.

With surprise in their eyes, the two of them said at the same time: "Let's go on using Qing Gong."

With their lightness skills, it was not difficult to fly down. They could not only avoid the assassins' pursuit, but also give them time to make poison, increase the chance of saving their lives, and return to the capital by another way.

The two of them did what they said, and after cleaning up the traces nearby, they immediately flew down.

"The scenery here is nice." Shen Jia seemed to have walked into a paradise.

The place where they landed was halfway up the mountain. Looking up, you could see the rolling green mountains on both sides, with a crystal clear river in the middle. The green mountains were shrouded in clouds and mist, adding a bit of mystery.

There is a path by the river with traces of people walking on it.

Xiao Yichen suggested, "There should be people living near here. Let's go take a look around first."

"Yeah!" Shen Jia nodded.

After walking for about half an hour, I saw a small village with only about five or six households.

The arrival of the two strangers quickly attracted the attention of the villagers. An old woman about sixty years old with silver hair came forward curiously and asked, "Who are you and why are you here?"

Shen Jia saluted and said: "We fell off the cliff and landed in front. We followed the human tracks and had no intention of disturbing them."

The old woman whispered: Another child fell off the cliff!

Then he smiled kindly and said: "In this case, it means that you are destined to us, so please come to my house to rest for a few days before leaving!"

Shen Jia didn't think much about it and saluted, "Thank you, mother-in-law. Sorry for bothering you!"

On the other hand, Xiao Yichen's eyes flashed, thoughtfully.

The two followed the old woman, and other people in the village smiled kindly when they saw them.
