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

"Found it!" Chu Nan's eyes flashed with a cold light.

They made their way to the front of the seven tents and inspected them one by one.

The first tent contained some white rice, vegetables, and cured meat...

Upon seeing these things, Chu Nan's expression changed.

How did Zhao Xingyu find these things? Could it be that after the ship broke apart, the boxes containing food floated ashore and were found by them?

With these questions in mind, Chu Nan arrived at the second tent.

Inside the tent were four or five bows and thousands of arrows.

The third tent was a place to stay, with a simple bed inside.

The fourth...the fifth...all the way to the sixth tent, were all places for people to live, with nothing but some clothes and daily necessities.

Upon arriving at the seventh tent, Chu Nan's gaze sharpened!

He actually saw a figure moving inside!

Carefully lifting his longsword, and with the aid of his [Stealth] skill, he moved like a ghost, slowly opening a crack in the tent.

There were four people inside the tent!

Three men and one woman!

Chu Nan searched his memory and recognized it in the next moment!

These three men were all sailors on the ship. Although the ship belonged to the imperial court, they were all from the common people. At this moment, they were tied up and their faces were pale.

Chu Nan could also clearly see the only woman...

"Ling Hanxue?" Chu Nan narrowed his eyes slightly.

This Ling Hanxue is the daughter of General Ling Zhennan. She has a cold personality and is indifferent to everyone except Ji Menghan.

"Was she really kidnapped or...?" Chu Nan was determined to kill these four people who didn't know who was friend or foe.

After a moment's thought, Chu Nan decided to save them.

If the four of them were really on Zhao Xingyu's side, he would kill them without hesitation.

boom!

Chu Nan kicked open the tent, and the four people inside were immediately startled!

"Zhao Xingyu! You beast! Even if you die, I will never submit!" Ling Hanxue shouted angrily.

"Shut up! I'm here to save you!" Chu Nan used his knife to cut the ropes binding the four men.

"How did you get here?" Chu Nan asked in a deep voice.

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!" The three sailors, feeling relieved to have survived, knelt down and kowtowed.

Chu Nan's gaze fell on Ling Hanxue.

By the moonlight, Ling Hanxue looked Chu Nan up and down, then frowned: "Chu Nan? You're not dead?"

"You're not dead, so why can't I live?" Chu Nan had absolutely no goodwill towards Ling Hanxue.

Aside from being rather aloof and beautiful, this woman was a spoiled rich girl.

"I swam to the shore and survived in there until Zhao Xingyu and his group found me this afternoon. I thought we could help each other, but this bastard actually captured me. How hateful!" Ling Hanxue said bitterly.

Chu Nan looked around and said in a deep voice, "Alright, come with me. Zhao Xingyu and his group have ulterior motives and probably have other purposes. If we don't stick together, they will wipe us out sooner or later."

"Why should I listen to you!" Ling Hanxue frowned. "What right do you, a mere illegitimate son, have to order me around?"

Swish!

Chu Nan raised his long sword and held it against Ling Hanxue's neck.

Ling Hanxue's pretty face changed slightly: "Chu Nan! How dare you!"

"Shut up if you don't want to die! You don't have to come with me, your life or death is none of my business, but shut your mouth!"

After saying that, Chu Nan waved to the three sailors.

The three people had been rescued by him, so they were naturally very obedient and followed Chu Nan to the outside of the tent.

"Use firewood to fold the tents and burn them all down!"

"There's food in the first tent, about twenty jin per person!"

"The second tent contains bows and arrows; each person should take a bow and thirty arrows!"

"Burn everything else!" Chu Nan ordered.

Without hesitation, the three sailors took the tinderbox from Chu Nan.

He also found this fire tumbler in the tent.

Just then, Ling Hanxue came out, her face somewhat grim: "Chu Nan, have you found the princess?"

"She's still alive!" Chu Nan glanced at her and replied indifferently.

Ling Hanxue visibly breathed a sigh of relief: "I heard from Zhao Xingyu and the others that they want to harm the princess."

"Hmm!" Chu Nan hummed in response, ignoring her completely. He then went into the tent and took out a bow and thirty arrows for himself.

They even carried thirty jin of grain.

Ling Hanxue opened her mouth, but ultimately didn't say anything. Instead, she followed Chu Nan and took the bow, arrows, and food.

Flames soared into the sky. Chu Nan waved his hand: "Retreat!"

……

Third District.

Zhao Xingyu and his group stood in front of the nearly extinguished fire, their faces grim.

"Chu Nan... Chu Nan..." Zhao Xingyu gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot like those of a mad beast.

"They all deserve to die! Chu Nan, that bastard, deserves to die! Ji Menghan, that bitch, deserves to die too!"

"Brother Zhao, we've been tricked!" Chen Youbian limped up and said.

"Hmph! I..." Zhao Xingyu was about to speak when he suddenly raised his head.

In the direction of the fifth district, near their residence, a fire was burning.

"Damn it!!!" Zhao Xingyu was furious.

"Two people stay here and keep watch; the rest of you come home with me!"

……

In the early hours of the morning, Chu Nan, along with three sailors and Ling Hanxue, arrived at the second district.

The second district was where he and Ji Menghan first stayed.

This place is very familiar to me.

After a long day of running around, Chu Nan took out oranges, and everyone ate some to replenish their energy before resting.

"Chu Nan, how did you survive?" Ling Hanxue asked wearily, lying down beside him with her eyes closed.

"So you survived like this, is there a problem?" Chu Nan replied calmly.

Ling Hanxue asked in a low voice, "How is the princess doing?"

"You'll find out tomorrow." Chu Nan ignored her and closed his eyes to rest.

As the sun rose, the morning chill was largely dispelled by the sunlight.

When Chu Nan opened his eyes again, he had fully recovered.

Looking up in the direction of Zone 1, Ji Menghan was in Zone 1. According to the plan, she would rest in Zone 1 for a day and then move to Zone 4 in the evening.

It wasn't until midday, when the sun was high in the sky, that Ling Hanxue and the others finally woke up.

Imprisoned by Zhao Xingyu, all four of them were in a bad state.

Ling Hanxue was in a better position; she had only been imprisoned yesterday afternoon, while the three sailors were in a much worse state.

Their faces were all deathly pale, clearly indicating that they had been imprisoned for quite some time.

"How many days have you been detained?" Chu Nan asked while opening a coconut.

"Sir, the three of us were captured by Zhao Xingyu and his men as soon as we landed. They threatened us, and we wanted to surrender, but he was afraid we wouldn't obey, so he locked us up temporarily, saying he would release us after a while," a sailor whispered.

"It's not that simple. He must have other uses for keeping you around!" Chu Nan sneered.
