Duan Chenfeng hugged Xu Wanqing and ran towards Tianfeng City, but he didn't run for long before he was forced to stop due to excessive consumption of true energy. Xu Wanqing stood up from Duan Chenfeng's arms and said:
"Chenfeng, don't worry! Do you want to take a rest?"
Duan Chenfeng shook his head and said anxiously: "No, let's leave quickly, they are about to catch up."
Xu Wanqing said worriedly: "But, the way you are now..." She changed the subject at this point and said: "It's better if I take you away!" After saying that, she helped Duan Chenfeng up. Duan Chenfeng did not refuse.
, he knew that he had to escape from the opponent's pursuit as soon as possible in order to have a chance to survive.
Xu Wanqing took Duan Chenfeng and used Phantom Trace to escape quickly. How could she be faster than Qiu Han and others! She was once again surrounded by five people not far from Tianfeng City. Qiu Han held his hand
Holding the Qiushui Sword, he smiled disdainfully and said, "Why, don't run away."
Duan Chenfeng held the soul-capturing flute tightly in his right hand, stood in front of Xu Wanqing, and said: "Use whatever tricks you have! Don't be pretentious here." After saying that, he quickly took out the Fengsha Fengsha originally gave him.
His golden token was still pointing towards the sky. The token suddenly enlarged in the sky, and a huge golden word 'kill' appeared. It disappeared after a moment, and the token returned to Duan Chenfeng's hand.
After this move, Qiu Han understood what was going on, and loudly said to the apprentice next to him: "No, he wants to find reinforcements, hurry up."
After Qiu Han finished speaking, the four people quickly attacked Duan Chenfeng. Duan Chenfeng held the soul-capturing flute and struggled to resist, but after all, his true energy was limited, and within a moment, Xu Wan was already scarred.
Qing saw Duan Chenfeng desperately trying to protect herself, and seeing the blood all over Duan Chenfeng, Qing said sadly: "Chenfeng, let me help you!"
Duan Chenfeng shook his head and said: "I'm fine, just be careful." As soon as he finished speaking, the other party's attack came again. This sword was about to stab Duan Chenfeng's chest. Xu Wanqing waved Mo Yao, but only
Hearing a 'clang' sound, the attacking sword was deflected by Xu Wanqing, and she herself took three steps back under the collision of huge true energy.
Duan Chenfeng came to Xu Wanqing's side with a phantom step, supported her worriedly, and prepared for a fight to the death.
Huge energy fluctuations suddenly appeared in the air, and Duan Chenfeng knew that someone was coming. Sure enough, more than ten figures suddenly appeared around them. These ten people were probably in their forties, all wearing cyan clothes, and holding in their hands
Holding a cold killing sword, the leader said: "My subordinate, cold killing sect Mu Sha, may I ask who is the elder of our sect." As he said that, he looked in the direction of Duan Chenfeng, his eyes full of surprise, he knew
Among the man and woman in front of me, one was an elder of the Cold Kill Sect, but I didn't expect that these two people were so young.
Duan Chenfeng took out the token and said in a weak voice: "I am, Senior Musha, please help me block these people."
"Yes." Mu Sha said, waving his hand to join the battle.
When Qiu Han saw these people, he was also stunned. He knew that Duan Chenfeng was looking for help from the Lengsha Sect, but he didn't expect it to be so fast. He didn't expect that the person he was chasing was actually the elder of the Lengsha Sect. But he
Without fear, he said angrily: "Mu Sha, the court wants us to arrest this person. Are you going to go against the court?"
Mu Sha replied coldly: "I don't care about the court. As a killer, we only know how to obey orders. I'm sorry, I'm sorry." He was about to attack Qiu Han.
Qiu Han retreated and continued: "I am the leader of the Qiu Shan Sect. Could it be that you are against our Qiu Shan Sect?"
"There is nothing against me. I still said what I just said. We are just obeying orders." Mu Sha's voice was still as cold as ever. After he finished speaking, he led a dozen of his brothers to join the battle.
The people brought by Mu Sha were all masters of the Leng Sha Sect who were performing tasks in Tianfeng City. Most of them had reached the strength of Condensation or above. They were not a big deal to these people in front of them. It didn't take long for the other five people to retreat one after another.
Except for Qiu Han who could barely resist, the four others in Qi Yu were all covered with scars.
Seeing that the situation was over, Qiu Han said angrily: "You are so cold-blooded, but you are going against the imperial court. Just wait for the sect to be destroyed!" After saying that, he quickly ran away with his four men.
Seeing that the five people had left without pursuing him, Mu Sha came to Duan Chenfeng, saluted, and said, "Elder, are you okay?"
Duan Chenfeng said: "I'm fine, thank you for the rescue."
Mu Sha replied: "This is what we should do." Here he paused and continued to ask: "I don't know where the elder is going now, we will take you back."
Xu Wanqing said at this time: "Chenfeng, let's go to my father's place first. If he can't convince the emperor, then let's leave again!"
Duan Chenfeng nodded, that was all he could do, so he said to Mu Sha and the others: "Mu Sha, we are going to Tianfeng Mansion now. Please protect us by your side."
"Yes!" Mu Sha said.
Under the protection of Mu Sha, Duan Chenfeng and Xu Wanqing quickly arrived at Tianfeng City. They were a little surprised to see no notice of their arrest outside the city gate. However, Duan Chenfeng did not think too much about it.
Wouldn't the result be better? Not long after, the two came to the door of Tianfeng Mansion. The people from the Lengsha Sect had disappeared, and they were protecting them secretly.
When Xu Wanqing and Duan Chenfeng came to the door, the soldiers guarding the door recognized Xu Wanqing. One of them saluted and said respectfully: "Miss, you are back. The master is waiting for you inside."
I will inform Xu Wentian soon.
Xu Wanqing nodded, stopped the soldiers from going to inform, and walked into the mansion with Duan Chenfeng, and came to the main hall, where Xu Wentian was reviewing documents. When he saw Xu Wanqing and Duan Chenfeng, he was stunned first, and then
He walked down the hall and said, "Why are you back now?" When he came to Duan Chenfeng, he saw that Duan Chenfeng was covered in blood, and said worriedly: "Chenfeng, are you okay?"
Duan Chenfeng said: "I'm fine, Uncle Xu."
Xu Wentian sighed: "The imperial court is already taking care of your affairs, but I haven't announced your arrest notice at the city gate yet. Now that you are back, I feel relieved."
Xu Wanqing supported Duan Chenfeng and said anxiously: "Dad, Chenfeng was framed, you must save him." As she said this, tears were about to flow out again.
With Xu Wanqing shedding tears, how could Xu Wentian not see that his daughter had true feelings for Duan Chenfeng? When he thought that what he had been worried about had actually happened, he smiled bitterly and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely save him." He said with a bitter smile.
His tone was very flat, without any confidence, because he was not sure whether he could save Duan Chenfeng.
Yuan Xin also came to the main hall at this time. He heard the servants say that Xu Wanqing was back, so he hurried over. When he saw his daughter supporting a boy covered in blood, he was also stunned, and then asked
Said: "Qing'er, this is."
When Xu Wanqing heard her mother's nervous look, she smiled slightly and said, "Mom, he is Brother Chenfeng!"
"Ah!" Yuan Xin was surprised again. She hadn't seen him for more than five years. Duan Chenfeng's appearance had changed fundamentally. Not only had he grown taller, but he was also more handsome than before. No wonder Yuan Xin couldn't recognize him. Yuan Xin found out
His expression was really inelegant, and he said with some embarrassment: "Chenfeng, why are you injured?"
"I'm fine, Auntie." Duan Chenfeng was deeply moved when he saw Yuan Xin's concerned look.
Yuan Xin didn't know about Duan Chenfeng's arrest. Xu Wentian didn't tell anyone about the arrest notice from the court, so Yuan Xin didn't know about it. Yuan Xin saw that although Duan Chenfeng was covered in blood, there was nothing serious.
He said reassuringly: "That's good. You go clean the wound first and then change clothes."
"Okay, I'll go." Duan Chenfeng said and walked out of the hall.
Xu Wanqing supported Duan Chenfeng and said, "I'll go with you!"
Duan Chenfeng stopped and said gently to Xu Wanqing: "Qing'er, I know the road. You can stay with Uncle Xu here!" After that, he walked out alone.
After Duan Chenfeng left, Xu Wentian asked: "Qing'er, please tell me what happened these days."
Xu Wanqing started by talking about what happened after she left home. She first went to the Royal Academy to practice with Yu Tianxiang, and then how she met Duan Chenfeng. During this time, she did not mention Duan Chenfeng practicing alone.
He also talked about Duan Chenfeng fighting with others to protect himself. At this point, Xu Wanqing stopped and pleadingly said to Xu Wentian: "Dad, I know you have a way to save Chenfeng, you must save her.
.”
When Xu Wanqing said this, Yuan Xin also understood what was going on. She glanced at her husband resentfully, took Xu Wanqing's hand and said, "Qing'er, don't worry, since Chen Feng was wronged.
, we will definitely try our best to save her."
When Xu Wanqing heard what her mother said, she seemed to see hope and said excitedly: "Really? You can really save Chenfeng."
Yuan Xin could also see that her daughter was hopelessly in love with Duan Chenfeng, and sighed: "Yes." From the bottom of her heart, she hoped that her daughter would be happy, although their happiness would come at a high price.
But she would still give her full support. Thinking of this, she said: "Qing'er, you should go and wash up too! Remember to come to dinner with Chenfeng later."
"Yes!" Xu Wanqing walked out of the hall happily after receiving her mother's affirmative reply.
After Xu Wanqing left, Yuan Xin said to Xu Wentian: "Wentian, what are you going to do?"
Xu Wentian said: "I don't know, I think the emperor already knows that Qing'er and Duan Chenfeng are together, but there is no need for them to break them up in this way!"
After Yuan Xin heard this, her heart tightened and she said in disbelief: "You said that this frame-up may have been arranged by the emperor himself."
"I'm not sure now, but it's very possible." Xu Wentian said thoughtfully.
Yuan Xin said with some worry: "You have also seen it. I guess Qing'er has really fallen in love with Chen Feng. If I just watch the emperor break them up, I can't do it."
Xu Wentian's face also became extremely ugly, and he said solemnly: "Now it's not a question of what can't be done, the key is how we explain to the emperor."
"Can't we tell the emperor the true situation?" Yuan Xin asked.
Xu Wentian shook his head: "If the person killed was an ordinary person, the hope might be higher, but the person killed this time was the son of the prime minister. It is impossible to convince the emperor. Even if the emperor is convinced, what will the prime minister say?
The emperor will not waste this opportunity to help Tianxiang."
"Even if they are together, have you ever thought about Qing'er's feelings?" Yuan Xin never thought that her husband was ready to sacrifice his daughter for the sake of his career. Xu Wentian could do it, but she couldn't, and she secretly felt
made a decision.
"Stop talking, I have already decided on this matter." After Xu Wentian finished speaking, he walked decisively to the desk in the main hall and continued to review the documents.
Yuan Xin saw her husband walking away and felt that he was so strange. It was hard to accept it for a moment, and she ran out of the hall with tears of grievance.
In the evening, after dinner, Duan Chenfeng and Xu Wanqing sat on the stone bench in the Binglan Villa. Xu Wanqing said: "Chenfeng, the Chinese New Year will be here in a few days. Do you still remember that we were together before?"
About setting off fireworks?"
Duan Chenfeng nodded, and his thoughts went back to the days when they were together five years ago. He thought and said: "Of course I remember. At that time, you dragged me around the yard all day long."
"No!" Xu Wanqing said angrily, "You want to be with me."
"Okay!" Duan Chenfeng took off his coat, put it on Xu Wanqing's body, and said with a smile: "I pulled you away, okay?"
"That's pretty much it." Xu Wanqing said happily: "Can we still set off fireworks here today?"
After Duan Chenfeng heard this, his face became a little gloomy. What will happen tomorrow? Will the emperor pardon himself? If he is a good emperor, he will definitely pardon himself. What if he is not! Duan Chenfeng doesn't want to think about it anymore.
, said calmly: "Don't worry, we will all set off fireworks together in the future."
"Yes!" Xu Wanqing leaned happily in Duan Chenfeng's arms, looking at the stars in the dark night, everything was so beautiful.
I don't know how long it took, but Yuan Xin appeared next to them. Her steps were very light, not wanting to disturb the happy couple.
Xu Wanqing heard the sound of footsteps and turned around to see that it was her mother. She quickly stood up from Duan Chenfeng's arms and asked, "Mom, why are you here."
Duan Chenfeng also stood up and said softly: "Auntie!"
Yuan Xin nodded and said, "I'm here to see you."
When Xu Wanqing heard this, her face turned red and she said reluctantly: "Mom!"
Yuan Xin smiled slightly, took Xu Wanqing's hand, and said, "Qing'er, do you really want to be with Chen Feng?" Her eyes were fixed on Xu Wanqing, trying to see the true meaning in his eyes.
idea.
Xu Wanqing didn't understand why her mother asked this, but she nodded decisively and said, "Yes, I want to be with Chenfeng forever." As she said that, she looked gently in the direction of Duan Chenfeng.
Yuan Xin understood that no matter what he did, it was impossible to break them up. He saw eternity in his daughter's eyes, so he said to Duan Chenfeng: "Chenfeng, I believe you will take good care of Qing'er."
Duan Chenfeng stood beside Xu Wanqing and said affectionately: "Auntie, don't worry, no matter what happens in the future, I will protect Qing'er." His voice was so decisive, with an unshakable tone.
Yuan Xin put Xu Wanqing's hand into Duan Chenfeng's, and said sincerely: "This will make me feel relieved. Listen to me and leave here as soon as possible."
When Duan Chenfeng heard this, he was slightly surprised, but looking at Yuan Xin's look, it didn't look like he was joking, so he asked unclearly: "Auntie, why do you want us to leave here?"
Yuan Xin said worriedly: "Now that we are here, there is no need to hide it anymore." Then, she asked Xu Wanqing: "Qing'er, do you know Yu Tianxiang's true identity?"
Xu Wanqing asked in confusion: "What is his true identity? Didn't his father say that he is the son of a close friend?"
Yuan Xin shook his head and said: "No, actually he is the current prince."
"What." Duan Chenfeng and Xu Wanqing were both surprised. They never thought that Yu Tianxiang would be the current prince. For a moment, Xu Wanqing calmed down the surprise in his heart and asked unclearly: "Since he is the current prince,
Prince, why do you want me to go to the Royal Academy to practice with you?"
Yuan Xin said: "That's because you and him have been engaged since childhood. Originally, you..." At this point, she paused and then said: "After Chenfeng left, we were going to let you cultivate a relationship with Tianxiang.
But, hey, this is all destined, and no one can change it."
When Xu Wanqing heard that she almost married someone else, she said firmly: "Even if Chenfeng doesn't come, I won't be with him." As she said that, she held Duan Chenfeng's hand a little tighter.
"Chen Feng, take Qing'er and leave here! Go as far as you want, and never come back again." Yuan Xin said solemnly.
"Mom, didn't dad agree to ask the emperor to pardon Chenfeng's crimes?" Xu Wanqing asked.
Yuan Xin smiled slightly and said: "Qing'er, you are too naive. I suspect that this matter was planned by the emperor. Maybe your father was also involved."
When Duan Chenfeng heard this, he thought of something and asked: "Auntie! In the few days after Qing'er went to the Royal Academy, did Uncle Xu leave the mansion."
After Yuan Xin heard Duan Chenfeng's words, she thought for a while and said, "How could you know if I have left before?"
"Because I have been here." Duan Chenfeng said in a low voice. It was still difficult for him to accept this fact. Is Uncle Xu, who once cared about him so much, really the murderer who planned to kill him? It was hard for him to believe it, but
This is an extremely possible fact.
When Yuan Xin heard this, he also figured out what was going on and said, "You guys should leave quickly! The more you stay here, the more danger you will face."
"Mom, what about you!" Xu Wanqing asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Yuan Xin smiled slightly, pretending to be happy and said: "Go! Don't come back again. As long as you are happy, my mother will be very happy."
"Well! Let's go then." Xu Wanqing said and looked at Duan Chenfeng. Duan Chenfeng nodded and said, "Auntie, take care. We will definitely come back to see you if we have the opportunity in the future." After that,
Then prepared to leave.
At this moment, countless torches suddenly lit up outside the courtyard, and dozens of cultivators with extremely powerful true energy surrounded them. A person slowly walked in from the door of the courtyard.
After Wan Qing saw the person clearly, she couldn't believe the fact and blurted out in a surprised voice: "Dad."
