Jin Se rubbed her forehead, feeling wronged. She pouted and said, "I found a spring at the back of the mountain. The water there is actually hot."

Hearing that, Yun Ruo Lu jumped up in excitement, and asked anxiously: "Where? Hurry up and bring me to it! "

She hadn't taken a bath for two days, and the weather had turned cold. It would be winter soon, and it was a happy day to find a hot spring in such weather. After saying that it was hard for her to stay out of the shower for so long for someone from the New People.

Thus, the two of them took a change of clothes and went straight to the hot spring at the back of the mountain.

Along the way, Yun Ruo Lu was still a bit skeptical. She thought to herself, "It's already good enough that there's a pool of water in this wilderness, why would there be a hot spring?"

When she arrived, she saw that there was a thick layer of fog floating on the surface of the water. As soon as she got close, she felt a warm wave of heat and immediately believed that Jin Se's words were true.

Yun Ruo You tested the temperature of the water with her hand, it was very suitable for her. In addition, there was fog in the pool, so as long as the people outside didn't go into the water, they wouldn't be able to see the situation, so they didn't have to worry about anyone stealing from them.

"Jin'er, what are you waiting for? Get down!"

Yun Ruo Lu quickly took off her clothes and jumped into the water. Seeing that Jin Se was still hesitating by the pool, she anxiously shouted.

Jin Se looked at the pool in embarrassment for a long time, and said hesitantly, "Empress, is it alright here? "What if someone sees …"

Before she could finish her sentence, Yun Ruo Lu had already splashed water on her body, and said, "Your clothes are wet now, if you don't come down now, I won't care about you if you catch a cold."

Just as she finished speaking, a gust of cold wind blew over. Jinsi could not help but sneeze, and in the end, could only follow her into the water.

After getting into the water, Jinsi became a little bolder, playing with Yun Ruo in the water.

"Empress, you said that we should bathe here. What if the clothes on it are taken by someone?"

Jin Se looked worriedly at the shore. The water vapor obscured her eyes, making her unable to see clearly.

"You're really stupid to say you're stupid. Who would come to this desolate place to get our clothes?"

Just as they were enjoying themselves, the water in the pool suddenly began to boil, and a dozen or so water pillars simultaneously rose up from the edge of the pool.

"Empress, what's going on?"

Jin Se hid behind Yun Ruo Ran in fear, looking at the water pillars that shot up to the sky in confusion.

Yun Ruo Lu could feel a thick killing intent coming from the water pillars!

"Jin'er, dive into the water and find yourself a place to hide in the forest!"

The moment Yun Ruo Lu finished her words, the pillars of water broke apart. From each pillar of water, a black clothed man rushed towards her.

With a fierce gaze, Yun Ruo Lu looked at the black clothed men surrounding her. Her eyes reflected the image of a blade swinging downwards. In the moment of life and death, Yun Ruo Lu ferociously turned around in the water, causing a circular water curtain to appear.

The water curtain was accompanied by a strong internal force. It was like a sharp, round blade, blocking all the assassins that were going up in a circle.

Seeing that the assassins had all fallen into the water, Yun Ruo Lu jumped up and went to the shore to put on her clothes.

"Empress, let's leave quickly. This place is too dangerous!"

Seeing that Yun Ruo Lu had also landed on the shore, the Jin Se immediately rushed up and pulled Yun Ruo Lu's hand to run away.

The two of them ran quickly through the forest, and the chase behind them was still continuing. The beautiful woman didn't know any martial arts, so her footsteps became slower after a short while.

"Didn't I tell you to hide? Why did you run out? " Yun Ruo Lu asked somewhat angrily.

Jinsi really couldn't run anymore. He leaned against a tree trunk and rested as he panted, "Empress, they have so many people, you are no match for them. Let's hurry back to the army camp!"

Yun Ruo Lu looked behind her, seeing that the killers were about to catch up, and that Jin Se couldn't help her, she said to Jin Se: "Jin'er, you go back and call for reinforcements, I'll stop them!"

"But …"

Jin Se was still a little hesitant. How could she leave Yun Ruo Lu alone?

"No buts, do you want us both to die here!"

Yun Ruo Lu walked up and pushed Jin Se away, her eyes filled with determination. Jin Se bit her lips before finally nodding her head, "Empress, wait for Jin'er. Jin'er will definitely bring reinforcements back!"

Not long after Jinsi left, Yun Ruo Lu was surrounded by the assassins that had caught up.

He had used too much of his internal energy in the water just now, so it was no longer possible for him to unleash that kind of power again.

When Yun Ruo Lu used her inner force again, she suddenly found that her body had become sore and weak.

"Stop struggling. We've already drugged the water. Just obediently accept your death!"

A black-clad figure stood up and spoke, as he brandished the huge blade in his hands, directly slashing towards Yun Ruo You.

Yun Ruo Lu somersaulted in the air, breaking off a branch to block it. She suddenly realized that the thing she lacked the most in this situation was a good weapon.

Just as he turned around, another three people charged him.

Yun Ruo Lu fought with the group of men in black and realized that they were weaker than her.

As such, Yun Ruo Lu retreated into the bamboo forest while fighting. Then, she took the opportunity to throw out a few smoke bombs, turned around, and quickly escaped.

However, those assassins didn't give up. They rushed out of the smoke and continued their pursuit.

Just as the assassins were about to catch up, an arrow flew past Yun Ruo Lu's side and pierced into the heart of the assassin behind her.

Immediately after, more arrows flew out from the forest. Yun Ruo Lu took the opportunity to increase the distance between her and the killers. When she reached a safe place, she saw that Ke Yunjin had actually brought people to rescue them.

Seeing that reinforcements had arrived, the group of assassins fled in embarrassment after losing their troops, leaving behind all the corpses.

"Empress, are you alright?"

Ke Yunjin came to Yun Ruo Lu's side, but Jinsi was not there.

"I'm fine. Where's Jin'er?"

Yun Ruo Lu asked worriedly. She thought to herself, How did Ke Yunjin come here so quickly?

"She's fine, I've already sent someone to take her back to the barracks. "Empress, please get on the horse. We still have to hurry back!"

Ke Yunjin ordered someone to lead a horse for Yun Ruo to ride, and the group of people quickly rode back to the army camp.

On the way back, Yun Ruo found out that Ke Yunjin was unable to find them in the camp, so she brought her soldiers to search. Coincidentally, she met Jinye who had escaped, and after understanding the situation, she rushed over to rescue him.

Returning to the barracks, Yun Ruo sighed in her heart. Today's incident was really dangerous. If it wasn't for Ke Yunjin being cautious, she probably wouldn't have been able to return so easily.

Those assassins weren't simple. They were all extremely powerful experts. Someone who could send assassins like this must have a lot of power and position.

Thinking up to this point, Yun Ruo Lu started to worry about Yuchi Chen. He went to the Immortal Island by himself, what would he do if he met these assassins?

Yun Ruo Lu called Ke Yunjin over to share her thoughts. At the same time, Ke Yunjin was very worried that those assassins were sent by the enemy to gather information.

"General Ke, do you know where the Immortal Island is?"

Yun Ruo walked restlessly around the room. If their guesses were correct, then wouldn't Yuchi Chen be in danger?

Ke Yunjin thought deeply for a moment before shaking his head and sighing helplessly. "This subordinate really doesn't know. Even Prince didn't say anything. I reckon he just didn't want us to secretly follow him."

"Could it be that among the tens of thousands of people in the army, no one knows the location of the Immortal Island?"

Ke Yunjin folded his arms across his chest as he continued to think. Suddenly, an idea came to him and he said, "Empress, I have an idea." Perhaps we can follow the horseshoe prints to the prince! "

After hearing Ke Yunjin's reminder, Yun Ruo suddenly realized why she didn't think of this idea.

There had been no rain in the past two days, and the mountain climate was more humid, so the tracks left by the horses did not disappear so quickly.

As long as they continued to chase down the horseshoe prints, they would definitely be able to find Yuchi Chen.

"That's good. We will immediately prepare and find the Immortal Island as soon as possible."

After the discussion was over, the two went back to make their preparations. Yun Ruo went to inform Jin Se, while Ke Yunjin went to report the military matters to the other deputy generals.

After all preparations were made, Yun Ruo Lu brought Jin Se and Ke Yunjin to the Immortal Island to search for Yuchi Chen.

They first came to the place where they had parted with Yuchi Chen. As expected, the tracks of the horse were still visible, and Ke Yunjin could immediately tell that it was Yuchi Chen's horse, 'Chasing Wind'.

The three of them followed the footprints, finally arriving at a beautiful place surrounded by mountains.

Standing on the summit, one could see that there seemed to be a village at the foot of the mountain.

"I never thought that this place would actually have such a place. It's truly an isolated paradise!"

Yun Ruo Man looked down at the village and sighed. Because the fog in the mountain never dispersed, she looked at the village shrouded in fog. It was as if she was looking at a fairyland.

"Empress, we have followed the footprints all the way here. This should be the correct place."

"Empress, will the Prince really be here?" Aren't we here to fight? What is the Prince doing here? " Jin Se asked puzzledly.

Yun Ruo let out a cold snort, her heart had the same question as Jin Se.

"Let's go, we'll know what's going on once we find him!"

As Yun Ruo Lu said this, she took the lead, Jin Se in the middle and Ke Yunjin at the back.

Actually, Ke Yunjin had a little more understanding of Yuchi Chen's purpose in coming here. However, he was not very clear on exactly what he was doing here. This was because Yuchi Chen had only told him that this was a step in his plan.

Thus, after encountering that group of assassins, he had no choice but to worry about Yuchi Chen's safety. Even if Yuchi Chen had warned him not to follow them, he would have no choice but to disobey the military order.
