Late at night, Gu Yan came to Qiu Mingying, wanting to know if any Blood Slaughterers were following her. Qiu Mingying had many grievances against Gu Yan, and even struck him, injuring him. She, Qiu Mingying, had already died on the day the Great Cheng Nation fell. Gu Yan simply cut to the chase and asked her if she had appeared with the Blood Slaughterers on the day Feng Zhiwei was to be beheaded.
At this moment, Feng Hao burst in clumsily. Qiu Mingying quickly wiped away her tears, claiming Gu Yan was just an old acquaintance from her hometown. Gu Yan quickly found an excuse to leave. Feng Hao looked curious, as he had no idea where their hometown was. Ning Yi arranged for Ning Cheng to stay in the imperial capital. Ning Cheng was very reluctant, as he had never left Ning Yi since he was little.
But since Ning Yi wanted Ning Cheng to stay at the Chu King's manor and be his informant, he reluctantly agreed with tears in his eyes. Feng Zhiwei once again changed into men's attire, packing luggage with Gu Nanyi and Yan Huaishi, preparing to go to Minhai. Yao Yangyu and a group of students from Qingming Academy also carried packages, stating that the Tiansheng Emperor had ordered them to accompany Feng Zhiwei.
Helian Zheng also arrived just in time, wanting to follow Feng Zhiwei to Minhai. Feng Zhiwei originally did not want this, but to her surprise, even the Tiansheng Emperor approved, so she had nothing more to say. The Tiansheng Emperor ordered Ning Qi to issue a document to Yanzhou, instructing them to be on standby for Ning Yi's deployment. Minhai.
Chang Zhongyi learned that the Tiansheng Emperor intended to suppress the regional lords, and immediately summoned the younger members of the Chang clan to discuss countermeasures. Unexpectedly, the Duke of Min had already made up his mind and ordered his people to prepare to welcome the imperial envoy. Chang Zhongyi and Chang Zhongxin certainly would not allow Ning Yi to reach Minhai, so they decided to intercept him halfway. On the way to Minhai.
Feng Zhiwei always felt that Qiu Mingying and Master Zong were hiding secrets, so she questioned Gu Nanyi, who had been following Master Zong, but he knew nothing. The group arrived at a post station. Ning Yi and Feng Zhiwei had a private conversation. They found it strange that they had reached this point with no intelligence reports. Gu Nanyi saw Helian Zheng eavesdropping outside their room and immediately went to expose him.
To his surprise, Ning Qing and Ning Zhuo were also listening in. Inside the room, Ning Yi said he already had a countermeasure. Feng Zhiwei was displeased that he never consulted her, so she simply poured a mouthful of wine down his throat to vent her anger, leaving Ning Yi speechless. Feng Zhiwei left the room and ordered the group to follow her, leaving the Chu King behind.
Xin Ziyan, before the others left, called Chunyumeng and told him to follow Ning Yi daily to protect his safety, so he stayed behind to look after Ning Yi. As Feng Zhiwei and her group walked on the road, a group of black-clad figures suddenly rushed out and fiercely battled with them. Feng Zhiwei took advantage of the chaos to get on her horse and rushed back to the post station. Yan Huaishi recognized these as weapons unique to Minhai.
Helian Zheng then split into two groups with him: he and Gu Nanyi returned to the post station, while Yan Huaishi took his people to Jiyang Prefecture. Feng Zhiwei changed into the black-clad figures' attire and returned to the post station, where she saw a disheveled Ning Yi and Chunyumeng. It turned out that the strategy of splitting into two groups was devised by Ning Yi, but it now seemed unworkable.
The black-clad figures continued their relentless pursuit, forcing the three to the edge of a cliff. Ning Yi instructed Feng Zhiwei that she must reach Minhai to complete the plan of suppressing the regional lords, while he went alone to resist the bandits. The night finally faded away, and Feng Zhiwei at last found the injured Ning Yi. The two entered a cave together, finally able to rest properly.
Helian Zheng and his group found Chunyumeng and also recovered Ning Yi's sword, but they couldn't find Feng Zhiwei and Ning Yi. Feng Zhiwei woke up to find Ning Yi not beside her, immediately becoming flustered. She searched everywhere but then saw Ning Yi appreciating the scenery. Ning Yi put his arm around Feng Zhiwei's shoulder, and the two stood together amidst the mountains, admiring the magnificent scenery.
Late at night, Ning Yi built a bonfire, preparing to eat a rabbit. Feng Zhiwei refused, saying that being hungry and cold was better than taking the rabbit's life. She turned her head and saw that Ning Yi had injured the rabbit, then blamed him for being cruel. Feng Zhiwei pleaded with Ning Yi not to be so cruel in the future, and he acknowledged her.
After letting the rabbit go, Ning Yi and Feng Zhiwei embraced each other for warmth. In that moment, even though their bodies were cold, their hearts were always warm. The two slept embraced like this until dawn, until Helian Zheng and Gu Nanyi found them, carrying the rabbit from last night. Chang Zhongxin learned that Chang Zhongyi's plan had failed and inwardly cursed him as useless. At this time, Chang Zhongyi came to him for ideas.
The two decided to go all out and intercept Ning Yi at Jiyang Prefecture. However, Liang Shiyou, the Prefect of Jiyang Prefecture, happened to be Ning Yi's friend, so Chang Zhongyi immediately set off to deal with him. Unexpectedly, after Chang Zhongyi left, Chang Zhongxin ordered someone to send a letter to Ning Yi in Jiyang Prefecture, planning to eliminate Chang Zhongyi. When Ning Yi received this letter, he knew that Liang Shiyou must have met with misfortune.
Yan Huaishi and Gu Nanyi brought a conch shell they found in Ning Yi's room to show Ning Yi and Feng Zhiwei, explaining that it was a luminous shell used by Minhai pirates as a marker when scouting before committing murder and robbery. Feng Zhiwei quickly ordered Gu Nanyi to put it back in its original place and also told Yan Huaishi to invite Chang Zhongyi.
