Of course Prince Xiang would not give her something like this for no reason.

Who gave this dagger?

The answer is clear at a glance.

Xiao Lingyue held the dagger in her hand and couldn't help but mutter: "What is this? A gift?"

To make her unhappy, give her a dagger as a gift?

It was sent by someone else's hand. She couldn't find the right owner even if she wanted to refuse.

When did Zhan Beihan have such emotional intelligence?

Xiao Lingyue snorted softly and looked at the dagger in her hand: "Don't think that it's settled just by giving something. I'm not that easy to bribe. Wait until I get the antidote and return your favor and then settle the matter slowly."

She didn't know whether she was talking to herself or to the real owner behind the dagger.

Although I haven't completely calmed down yet.

But don’t give up things for free.

Xiao Lingyue accepted it unceremoniously, stuffed the dagger into her arms, and went in to change with her clothes.

The maid followed her request and sent a set of small men's clothes, the size was just right.

The dark fabric is inconspicuous, the cuffs are tightened, and it is close-fitting and practical, making it easy to move around in the mountains and woods.

Xiao Lingyue quickly changed her clothes, tied up her long hair, took some spare things with her, and left the county government office quietly.

It was not dark yet and the sun was setting in the west.

Xiao Lingyue took the horse and took a detour out of the city along the trail, heading for her destination.

The peak where the delivery was delivered has no name, it is just one of the many hills in the mountains. It is not far or near from Yuanmu Town, about ten miles or so.

When Xiao Lingyue rode her horse to the foot of the mountain, it was already getting dark.

There are no people near the mountain peak.

Smoke curled up from the village in the distance, and the faint sound of dogs barking could be heard.

Xiao Lingyue turned over and dismounted, and gently touched the horse's neck: "I may not be able to go down the mountain the same way, so I won't tie you up. If you are smart, just go home by yourself."

As she spoke, she slapped the horse's belly hard.

The horse neighed and ran forward, and the clatter of hoofs quickly faded away.

After letting the horse go, Xiao Lingyue immediately went up the mountain.

This mountain peak has a steep terrain and is close to the Canglan River, so it has abundant water vapor all year round.

The soil on the mountain is moist, the vegetation is dense, the weeds grow taller than people, and there are too many snakes, insects, rats, and ants in the grass to count.

Xiao Lingyue didn't dare to walk through the grass for fear of stepping on a venomous snake, so she simply used Qinggong to climb a tree on her way.

But the tree is also not flat.

After entering the mountains, she encountered a group of wild monkeys. They were all wandering among the treetops with great agility. They were not afraid when they saw people. Instead, they grabbed pine cones from the trees and threw them at her.

"Tsk!"

Xiao Lingyue swung her knife and the pine cone split into two halves and fell to the ground.

She stood on the treetop and looked up coldly at the opposite side: "If you throw things after me again, I will kill you!"

The cold light of the knife blade exuded murderous intent, frightening the group of wild monkeys, who fled in a hurry with squeaks.

It was quiet all around.

It's completely dark now.

The humidity in the deep mountains is heavy, a layer of mist slowly spreads around, and the leaves are covered with dew.

"Ouch——"

The howl of a wild wolf came, sometimes far and sometimes near, very penetrating.

There is constant movement in the woods, and from time to time you can see wild deer and rabbits running past from a short distance away.

Xiao Lingyue had no time to pay attention to this. She stood on the high treetops and looked around, looking for the location of the cliff.
