"But what if we lose the pursuit?" Leng Shuang asked.
"It doesn't matter. You ride a horse. I'm better at light skills. The two of us are chasing behind. Let's try to delay it for a while, and then I'll ask the secret guard to notify the others to come over." Gu Tingyu said.
Gu Tingyu and Leng Shuang followed the traces of that person.
Leng Shuang was riding a horse, and she felt her calves were shaking. She had never ridden such a long distance in so many years, and she was panting a little.
Gu Tingyu beside him didn't seem tired. He rode a horse and followed the man in front of him. Then the two of them left the town one after another and came to a valley on the outskirts.
Leng Shuang looked at the man and said, "I don't understand why you want to follow us?"
"Girl, I just want to exchange something with you," the man said in a low and hoarse voice.
"Exchange?" Leng Shuang looked at the man strangely. Who is he? What is his goal?
"I only want this jade pendant," the man pointed at the jade pendant in Leng Shuang's hand.
Leng Shuang took out the jade pendant and handed it to the man.
The man put the jade pendant away and said to Leng Shuang, "Girl, I'm leaving now."
"Why did you leave?" Leng Shuang asked.
"Because you are doubting me." The man said, then took out a whip from his waist and swung it towards the woods nearby.
Snapped!
There was a sound of whipping.
All the surrounding vegetation fell down.
"Who are you? We didn't provoke you, right? Why did you kill my parents?" Leng Shuang said. Although she didn't know the details of this man, judging from his behavior, he was definitely not a good person.
Man, Leng Shuang thinks it’s better not to have any grudges.
"Hmph!" The man sneered, "Your parents are ignorant and killed my parents. It's natural for me to seek revenge from you."
When Leng Shuang heard what the man said, she suddenly became furious. She pulled out her sword and stabbed at the man, but the man dodged it. Then the man wrapped Leng Shuang's arm with a whip, and then fiercely
The tightening made Leng Shuang feel pain. She struggled hard, but she couldn't escape at all.
Leng Shuang was dragged by the man and dragged into the woods. Then Leng Shuang felt a knife pressed against his neck.
"Shuang'er, don't move." Gu Tingyu shouted.
Leng Shuang glared at the man angrily, Leng Shuang sneered: "You think you can kill me?"
"You think I can't?" The man's voice turned cold and his tone was sinister.
Gu Tingyu said: "Since you want to kill us, why bother talking nonsense? We, husband and wife, are here to collect debts from you. If you are bold, then go ahead and do it." Gu Tingyu said indifferently.
When the man heard what Gu Tingyu said, he smiled coldly, and then said: "Okay! In this case, I will deal with you first, and after I kill you, I will slowly kill this maid, and we will
Keep me company on the road to hell!" After the man said that, he raised the dagger in his hand and stabbed it hard into Gu Tingyu's chest.
Just as the tip of the knife was about to touch Gu Tingyu's clothes, suddenly, an arrow flew from the diagonal stab, and hit the man's dagger. The dagger was deflected, and then stabbed into Gu Tingyu's left shoulder.
When Leng Shuang saw that Gu Tingyu was injured, she felt panicked.
"I have given you the jade pendant as you said, can you let me go now?" Leng Shuang looked at the man and said.
The man did not speak, but laughed loudly, and then said to Leng Shuang: "You woman, do you really think your jade pendant is that valuable? Haha, that's a lie!"
Fake? Leng Shuang's eyes suddenly opened wide. Could it be that the jade pendant in her hand was fake? She looked at the jade pendant in her hand carefully, and then shook her head. She didn't believe it, she absolutely didn't believe it. This jade pendant, she
It has been worn personally for more than 20 years, how could it be fake?
"You lied to me?" Leng Shuang looked at the man.
"Did I lie to you? Do I need to lie to you? This jade pendant is not a jade pendant at all, but my father's seal. Do you think I will give it to you easily for such a precious thing? Do you think that just by virtue of what you have in your hand?
Do you want to buy my life with this jade pendant?" the man said mockingly.
"Then tell me, where did this thing come from?" Leng Shuang asked.
"I found this jade pendant in my father's study. This jade pendant was stolen by an eunuch named Li De'an. No one knows about this except me and my father. If you dare to disclose this matter,
If you tell me, I will kill you," the man said. "As for my identity...guess who I am?"
"You..." Leng Shuang looked at the man with deep and distant eyes. She couldn't guess who he was, "Who are you?"
The man smiled and said, "Does it matter who I am?"
"Of course," Leng Shuang said, "No matter who you are, as long as we don't provoke you."
"Aren't you going to provoke me? Haha," the man said, "It's best this way. We don't offend each other. Don't force me, otherwise..."
"What else?" Leng Shuang said provocatively.
"Otherwise, I guarantee you will die miserably." The man said.
"What do you mean?" Leng Shuang said.
"What do you think?" The man raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and then directly pulled Leng Shuang in front of him. A strange smile appeared on his face, then he reached out and touched Leng Shuang's cheek, and then said with a smile:
"She is so beautiful, but she is a widow!"
Leng Shuang's heart skipped a beat, and then she said, "Aren't you afraid that my husband will take revenge on you? My husband is the legitimate son of the powerful Marquis Mansion!"
"Oh? Weiwuhou Mansion?" The man sneered: "What about Weiwuhou Mansion? Am I still afraid of them? You don't know my background?"
Leng Shuang shook his head.
"Since you don't know, then just listen to me and I can spare your life," the man said, then turned and walked towards the woods. As he walked, he picked up the dagger on the ground.
.
When the man left, Gu Tingyu breathed a sigh of relief. He was almost killed by that man just now.
After the man left, Leng Shuang squatted on the ground and started crying. She covered her face with her hands and sobbed, "Why? Why do you treat us like this? You know, if you treat us like this, you will be struck by lightning."
!」
Leng Shuang cried more and more fiercely. She really couldn't understand why her life had changed so drastically.
What's going on with all this?
Why would something like this happen to her.
At this moment, a group of people suddenly ran over from the darkness. They were all wearing armor and riding tall horses. The leader looked at Gu Tingyu and Leng Shuang lying on the ground, frowned and said, "What happened here?
"
When Leng Shuang saw so many people, she quickly stood up and said, "These thieves have hijacked us. Please rescue us quickly!"
The man frowned and said, "You follow me!" After saying that, the man led them down the hillside, then took out a horse and handed it to Leng Shuang, "Get on the horse! I will take you down the mountain!"
Gu Tingyu also got on the horse. Leng Shuang glanced at Gu Tingyu, then gritted his teeth and jumped on the horse.
The soldiers immediately followed the man in another direction. At this time, Gu Tingyu asked in a low voice: "Where are we going?"
"Why do you care so much," the man said, "I won't treat you badly. I will let you back after I settle you down. Just stay in this village with peace of mind!"
When Gu Tingyu heard what he said, he closed his eyes.
Leng Shuang sat on the horse and glanced at Gu Tingyu. Gu Tingyu had his eyes closed and seemed to be asleep.
Leng Shuang felt faintly worried in her heart, something might happen to Gu Tingyu.
"Don't worry, I won't harm him,"
The man said, "We are brothers in the same discipline."
Leng Shuang breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the man said he was a fellow disciple.
Leng Shuang and Gu Tingyu followed the man to another forest.
"You guys have a night's rest first, and we'll leave tomorrow morning," the man said. He looked at Leng Shuang, and then continued, "Tomorrow morning, remember, no matter what you see, don't be surprised." After that, he turned and left.
Already.
Leng Shuang looked at the man's back and felt vaguely uneasy in her heart.
As night fell, Leng Shuang leaned next to Gu Tingyu. Gu Tingyu still had his eyes closed, but he was not as unconscious as before.
"Wake up, Gu Tingyu, wake up." Leng Shuang shook her head a few times and found that Gu Tingyu still hadn't woken up. Then she confirmed that Gu Tingyu should have really fainted. She sighed and leaned her head against Gu Tingyu.
on his shoulders, with mixed feelings in his heart.
She and Gu Tingyu had known each other since they were childhood sweethearts, and she had liked Gu Tingyu since she was a child. However, Gu Tingyu never looked directly at her.
Although Gu Tingyu was very cruel to others, he was quite gentle towards her.
"Why does God punish me like this?" Leng Shuang murmured to himself.
Gu Tingyu woke up at this time, "Shuang'er, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
Leng Shuang looked at Gu Tingyu and said, "Are you okay?"
Gu Tingyu shook his head and said, "It's okay." He raised his head and looked at the surrounding environment, "Where are we?"
"I don't know, this place is in the wilderness," Leng Shuang said. "Do you know why we were captured?"
Gu Tingyu shook his head and said, "I don't know either, but I know it must have something to do with the palace." He paused here and then said, "Don't worry, let's hide now and wait until we get to the town.
, or the government will come and we will be out of danger."
