Yuan Chen asked: "Is there an old Taoist temple nearby?"
The host said: "Yes, there is an abandoned Sanqing Temple ten miles north of here."
Yuan Chen couldn't help but get a little excited when he heard this. He quickly walked out of the backyard and met Ye Jinming.
Ye Jinming said: "Mu Zongping said that after he led people to the wing, he was knocked unconscious. When he woke up, Jialan and Miss Mu were gone."
After hearing this, Yuan Chen basically confirmed his guess. He said, "I know who rescued them. Come with me."
He left some guards to guard Xinglong Temple, and then headed towards Sanqing Temple with Ye Jinming.
At this time, inside the dilapidated Sanqing Temple.
Xiao Jialan leaned against the stone statue a little weakly, and saw the man bringing water to her in an old tea bowl and said: "Drink some water first."
She took the bowl and drank a few sips. After a while, she gradually regained her energy and said, "Thank you, sir, for saving me."
Chen Chi said: "It's just a little effort. Fortunately, the girl is alert, otherwise I wouldn't be able to save you two by myself."
After that, he asked again: "How is the injury on your hand? I'll go find some herbs for you and bandage it."
Xiao Jialan looked at her hands, shook her head and said, "Nothing, no need to bother. How is my sister?"
Shen Chi said: "She's fine, she's just asleep. Are you from the capital?"
Xiao Jialan said: "I am a young lady from the Duke's Mansion. My name is Ye Jialan, and she is a young lady from the General's Mansion named Mu Xuechu. We were deceived into Xinglong Temple. Fortunately, the young master rescued us, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
Shen Chi was a little surprised. Although he could see it, he just didn't expect these two girls to have such noble status.
He said: "It should be quite safe here, I will help you deliver the letter and ask your family to take you back.
If you are afraid, you can hide in the secret room under this stone statue."
When Xiao Jialan heard this, she couldn't help but think of her previous life, in which her Yi'er hid in the secret room and escaped.
She said: "You still don't know what to call me?"
"Sinking pond."
After Shen Chi reported his name, he heard the sound of horse hooves outside. He was startled and said, "Someone is coming. Go in and hide."
Xiao Jialan thought that Mu Zongping was chasing people, and she was about to take Mu Yunchu into the secret room to hide, but it was too late.
People from outside have already come in.
Shen Chi stood in front of them and looked at the incoming man. In the backlight, he could see the man's extraordinary bearing and handsomeness.
When Yuan Chen saw Xiao Jialan, his tense heart instantly relaxed and he called with a trembling voice: "Jialan."
Xiao Jialan stuck her head out and looked at the person who was looking for her. Her eyes were hot and she ran over quickly: "Yuan Chen."
Yuan Chen stretched out his hand and held her in his arms. The feeling of finding her was indescribable. He only knew that he was about to be frightened, for fear that he would not be able to find her or save her.
He hugged Xiao Jialan tightly and calmed down for a long time before asking: "Are you okay?"
Xiao Jialan shook his head and said, "It was Master Shen of Shenchi who saved us."
Yuan Chen then raised his head and looked at the man in the hall. Although his clothes were shabby, he could not hide his righteousness.
Chen Chi rolled up his sleeves and saluted Yuan Chen and said, "The common people have seen His Highness the Crown Prince."
Yuan Chen was a little surprised: "Do you know Gu?"
Chen Chi said: "I don't know you. It's just that Miss Ye called your name just now. This name is taboo to no one else in the world except His Royal Highness."
Yuan Chen smiled, returned the gesture and said, "Thank you, Mr. Shen, for saving Jialan."
