I worked myself to the bone to become a saint, and survived on a deserted island with a stunning pri

People like Zhao Xingyu would never have any pity for ordinary people.

Countless maids have died tragically at their hands.

If it weren't for a stroke of luck yesterday, Ling Hanxue might have been manipulated by Zhao Xingyu.

"Chu Nan, what are you going to do next? When exactly will we be able to see Her Highness the Princess?" Ling Hanxue asked, frowning as she drank her coconut water.

Chu Nan stretched his body and looked up in the direction of the Fifth District.

If I'm not mistaken, Zhao Xingyu and his group must be going crazy right now.

They might even send people to search everywhere.

We still have to wait until nightfall, light a fire, and then lure them here.

However, Zhao Xingyu is not stupid. He might not fall for it again after being tricked once yesterday.

"From now on, you will listen to me," Chu Nan said firmly, especially looking at Ling Hanxue.

"Miss Ling, you'll be coming with me to set fire to District 5 in a bit."

"The three of you, go through the second district, then the first district, and wait at the border between the fourth and seventh districts," Chu Nan said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" The three sailors quickly agreed. Their lives had been saved by Chu Nan, and now that they could latch onto his coattails, they naturally wouldn't object.

As the three left, Ling Hanxue crossed her arms and exclaimed, "Chu Nan, what are you doing? Where is His Highness?!"

"Shut up!" Chu Nan frowned. This woman had no brains at all.

The reason she was kept was to prevent her from going to see Ji Menghan on her own and causing things to go wrong again.

Having learned from his previous two experiences, Chu Nan can no longer trust anyone, even though he rescued all four of them. He cannot rule out the possibility that they are spies planted by Zhao Xingyu.

This is why the three sailors weren't sent directly to find Ji Menghan.

As for Ling Hanxue, this woman is all looks and no brains, and she acts impulsively. It's better to keep her by my side!

Survival by the sea is a little easier.

At least in terms of food, it is not difficult to obtain.

Chu Nan entered the sea wearing only his underwear and brought a fish up in less than ten minutes.

Since it was daytime, Chu Nan lit a fire and grilled the seafood until it smelled delicious.

Ling Hanxue used two wooden sticks to hold the grilled fish, eating it with her mouth full of it.

"Delicious! Delicious!"

"Chu Nan, I didn't realize you were so capable!" Ling Hanxue patted Chu Nan's arm. "When we return to the Great Zhou, I will definitely repay you."

"Forget about repaying me, it's already good enough that you're not causing me any trouble." Chu Nan shrugged.

Ling Hanxue's pretty face darkened: "Chu Nan! What do you mean! Do you think I'm the kind of person who forgets kindness?"

Chu Nan smiled but didn't say anything.

Ling Hanxue is very beautiful. Unlike Ji Menghan's noble elegance, she has a heroic and valiant beauty, like a female general.

At the age of fifteen, Ling Hanxue had already joined the army. Although she had never participated in any major battles, she served in the Imperial Guard and had a relatively good relationship with Ji Menghan.

Chu Nan recovered quickly, but Ling Hanxue did not. After eating, she went back to resting.

……

Fifth District.

On the hillside, there were the remaining ashes of seven tents.

Zhao Xingyu and the others looked disheveled and miserable.

"Chu Nan!!!" Zhao Xingyu roared, his eyes like those of a venomous snake.

"Brother Zhao, what do we do now? All the grain has been burned, how are we going to survive!" Chen You asked, limping forward.

Zhao Xingyu looked around, gritted his teeth, and said, "Let's pick coconuts and catch fish first, and if that doesn't work, we'll have wild fruits. Everyone, hang in there for ten more days! After ten days, we'll have food!"

Chen Youbian narrowed his eyes slightly: "Brother Zhao, what exactly is going on?"

The others also looked at Zhao Xingyu, their expressions filled with the same confusion and bewilderment.

After the shipwreck, although everyone survived, they lacked food and clothing. Zhao Xingyu somehow managed to get some food, which allowed him to gather everyone together, order them to follow his commands, and even guarantee that they would survive and be able to go home.

Everyone discussed it privately and unanimously agreed that Zhao Xingyu had picked up the wooden box that had floated over.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Xingyu still had a way to obtain food!

How could this not arouse suspicion?

"Don't ask!" Zhao Xingyu said in a deep voice, "Just hold on for these ten days, and I guarantee everyone will have something to eat. Once we catch that bitch Ji Menghan, I'll make sure you can all return to the Great Zhou!"

"yes!"

Hearing everyone agree, Zhao Xingyu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He turned to look in the direction of the third district and gritted his teeth, saying, "Let's split into two teams and search that direction from both sides! Chu Nan and Ji Menghan must be in that direction!"

……

In the afternoon, Chu Nan urged Ling Hanxue to get up so they could head to the Third District together.

Ling Hanxue asked indignantly, "Where exactly is His Highness? And what is he going to do?"

"Stop asking, okay?" Chu Nan said helplessly. If it weren't for the fact that this woman seemed a bit dim-witted, he would have thought she was an undercover agent sent by Zhao Xingyu!

"Fine, I won't ask! But I'm warning you, if you don't see the princess, hmph..." Ling Hanxue rubbed her hands together: "This young lady isn't one to sit idly by!"

Chu Nan ignored her, and he was absolutely right to say that this woman was all looks and no brains!

We walked all the way to the third district, and since we weren't in a hurry, we arrived there in the evening.

On the beach, Chu Nan found some dry branches and used a fire starter to light a campfire.

"Chu Nan, are you trying to lure them here? Are you crazy!" Ling Hanxue exclaimed.

"That's right, that's exactly what we need to do to lure them over. Otherwise, why do you think I would go through all this trouble running around?" Chu Nan said, pursing his lips.

Ling Hanxue gritted her teeth: "Then Her Highness isn't in this direction? You abandoned Her Highness? Leaving her all alone?"

Seeing Ling Hanxue press him for answers, Chu Nan grew impatient: "I've already told you, she's safe. Can you just shut up?"

"No! Unless you tell me where His Highness is!" Ling Hanxue sneered.

"That's enough! We need to hurry up and leave, or we'll be doomed if we're discovered!" Chu Nan waved his hand, deciding not to argue with her here.

"Hmph, Chu Nan, I don't believe it..." Ling Hanxue was about to speak when she suddenly paused.

Not far in front of the two, a dozen or so figures were approaching.

"Stay close to me!" Chu Nan roared, his face extremely grim.

In just a short while, the two of them were surrounded.

It was obvious that Zhao Xingyu and his group had planned this.

Of course, this was also my goal: to attract them.

Unexpectedly, Ling Hanxue's incessant nagging led to the two of them being surrounded.

If Ling Hanxue hadn't dawdled, the two of them would have already disappeared into the woods. With the cover of grass and trees, escaping would have been far too easy!

But this is a beach!

Ling Hanxue's expression changed, and she trembled slightly as a feeling of regret instantly overwhelmed her.

If she hadn't forced Chu Nan to speak, they would have already entered the forest, where the world was vast and they could run however they wanted.

"Chu Nan... I'm sorry, it was my fault. I'll hold them off, you run!" Ling Hanxue said quickly in a low voice.
