At this time, several horses suddenly galloped past, and a woman riding a horse looked towards Gu Tingyu and the others.
"Hey," Leng Shuang said softly, "Isn't that Princess Ning?"
Leng Shuang's voice was a bit sharp, and Gu Tingyu immediately covered her mouth, "Keep it down, don't let her hear!" Gu Tingyu said in a low voice.
Leng Shuang was stunned for a moment, "Aren't you going to save her?"
Gu Tingyu said bitterly: "She doesn't want to see me at all, so why should I ask for trouble? Besides, if I rush to save Princess Ning, I'm probably asking for death."
Leng Shuang was silent for a while and then said: "Gu Tingyu, you don't have to be sad if I can't marry you in this life. You have been good enough to me in this life," Leng Shuang said, "Don't worry, I will help you escape."
of."
Gu Tingyu nodded, "Then I'll leave it to you!"
"Well," Leng Shuang nodded, "I will try to delay as much time as possible."
At this time, in Prince Ning's mansion, Qin Jinmo had packed up his things and was about to leave.
At this time, a confidential letter fell into Qin Jinmo's hands. He frowned and looked at the letter on the table with a gloomy expression.
At this time, a young man walked into the house, saluted respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, His Majesty the Emperor has sent an imperial envoy."
Qin Jinmo narrowed his eyes and said, "Let them in."
After Qin Jinmo finished his instructions, he saw two people walking in. Both of them were tall and thick, with strong bodies. At first glance, they looked like Lian Jiazi. There were four guards behind them. This battle was really extraordinary.
Small.
"See you, Your Majesty," the two men said, cupping their hands.
"Get back on your feet!" Qin Jinmo said indifferently.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The two men stood up, and the older man among them said, "Your Majesty, we are here to invite you to go back on the emperor's order."
"Father wants to call me back?" Qin Jinmo raised an eyebrow, "Why?"
"Your Majesty," the man looked directly at Qin Jinmo, "You are the prince, you should know the rules," he said, "We have obeyed the imperial decree and must bring you back to the capital."
"I don't want to go back," Qin Jinmo said, "If you dare to force me, then you have only one way to go."
The man said: "This is the emperor's wish."
"What does the emperor mean?" Qin Jinmo said, "You should know my king's temper. If you don't want to anger me, you'd better tell me the reason."
"Your Majesty," the man sighed, "The Emperor is seriously ill. I hope you can return to Beijing to visit your relatives."
Hearing this, Qin Jinmo's expression changed unpredictably. Finally, he took a deep breath and said: "In that case, I will go back with you, but I have some ugly words ahead. If you dare to hurt me, you will
Don’t blame me for being rude.”
The two men looked at each other and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, my subordinates will never hurt you."
"That's good," Qin Jinmo said lightly, "let's go."
Two people took orders.
Qin Jinmo just stood up and suddenly fell into the grass again. He touched his waist and abdomen and frowned.
"What's wrong with you?" Leng Shuang asked, supporting Gu Tingyu.
"It's okay," Gu Tingyu said, "Help me up and let's leave this place first."
Leng Shuang helped Gu Tingyu move forward.
After walking for some distance, suddenly, a man's miserable cry came from in front of him.
Leng Shuang carefully identified it and found that the cry actually came from near them. Leng Shuang was shocked and hurriedly pulled Gu Tingyu's clothes and said, "Look, something seems to have happened over there. Let's not go over there."
.”
"Listen," Gu Tingyu said, "there is movement ahead."
Leng Shuang listened to the voice on the other side getting clearer and clearer, then gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, help me go over and have a look."
There is a pile of dead branches and leaves in that place
, there are also some debris scattered, it seems that someone is lying here.
Leng Shuang knelt down to check, then put her ear to the ground and listened carefully, "It's a man," she frowned, "This man's voice is so familiar."
"Who is it?" Gu Tingyu leaned over to look, and then said, "It's him, Zhang Haisheng."
Leng Shuang looked inside the pile of grass. She reached out and pulled away the pile of grass, revealing the man's clothes. The man seemed to have fallen into a drowsy state.
Leng Shuang looked at the man, hesitated for a moment, then took out a silver needle and pierced the acupuncture point on his chest. After a while, the man woke up leisurely. He opened his eyes and glanced at Leng Shuang, then slowly sat down.
When she got up, Leng Shuang breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him sitting up.
"Miss Leng..."
Leng Shuang smiled and said, "You're awake," she looked around and said, "Why are you lying here? Could it be that you were picked up by a wild wolf?"
"I was kidnapped," Gu Tingyu rubbed his temples, and then looked at the surrounding scene. The scene here looked very strange, "Where am I?"
"I don't know either. You and I met wild wolves in the valley. Later, they threw us in the valley, and then they left," Leng Shuang said.
"What about you?" Gu Tingyu looked at her.
"I ran out during the chaos," Leng Shuang said.
After hearing this, Gu Tingyu frowned.
Leng Shuang said: "You haven't eaten yet, let's find a place to get something to eat first."
The two found a hidden place. Gu Tingyu took out a water bottle from his backpack and drank some water. He looked at Leng Shuang, "Aren't you afraid?"
Leng Shuang shook her head, "What do I have to be afraid of? I don't know martial arts, and neither do you." After saying that, she suddenly realized, "How come you don't know martial arts?"
Gu Tingyu smiled helplessly, "I'm just pretending."
"Why are you pretending?" Leng Shuang said, "Do you know that it is very dangerous for you to do this? What if you are caught and taken back?"
"Those people are no match for me," Gu Tingyu said, "I don't want to go back. I know the purpose of those people very well. No matter what they say, I will never go back."
"Then aren't you afraid that your father will know that you lied to him?" Leng Shuang said worriedly.
"Don't forget, I am his only son. He will not kill me. He doesn't care about the life or death of others."
"No, this time is different. I must send you back to the capital safely."
Leng Shuang said: "You are the prince, how can you go out privately? If the emperor finds out, your life may be in danger."
Gu Tingyu frowned slightly: "I'm not afraid of anyone. Even if my father knows about it, he will respect my choice. What's more, he doesn't want to recognize me as his son at all. He only has the prince as his son in his heart."
"But His Royal Highness...he..." Leng Shuang said, but suddenly fell silent.
Gu Tingyu raised his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth, and said, "Your Highness, ha!"
"Why are you so sure?" Leng Shuang looked at Gu Tingyu in confusion. She always felt that there was a hint of irony in his expression.
"Sooner or later he will suffer retribution," Gu Tingyu murmured in a low voice, "However, before I can take revenge on him, I must get rid of those people first."
Leng Shuang didn't hear Gu Tingyu's words clearly, she just said: "What did you say?"
"I'm hungry, can you find me something to eat?" Gu Tingyu looked at Leng Shuang and said, "I haven't slept a wink all night. I'm very tired now. I need to replenish my strength." With that, he hit
A yawn.
Leng Shuang immediately understood what Gu Tingyu meant, "Just wait." As she said that, she ran away into the distance.
Gu Tingyu looked at her leaving figure and couldn't help but smile.
He took a look at this ruined temple. It was so desolate. Except for a few dilapidated stone pillars, almost everything else had disappeared. Even the bark of the trees had peeled off, leaving only the bare trunks. He coughed lightly a few times.
Then he took out a piece of food from his backpack and ate it.
He hasn't had a full stomach for a month, and now that he has finally found this place, he must replenish his strength as soon as possible, otherwise, he may not be able to hold on to the capital.
Leng Shuang came back soon. She was carrying a large bundle of firewood. Seeing so much wood she was carrying, Gu Tingyu was a little stunned. He looked at the bundle of firewood and said, "Miss Leng, there are so many firewood, we are
Make a fire?"
"No," Leng Shuang said. After saying that, she used a branch to push the dead grass on the ground, "Let's pick up some dead grass and bring it back to light the fire."
Gu Tingyu nodded, and the two began to pick up dead grass. Gu Tingyu picked it up very carefully. He gathered all the dead grass on the ground together, and then carried it to the other side. Leng Shuang was responsible for lighting the fire. She lit the flame and then threw the firewood.
Go in.
Gu Tingyu rested aside. Although he had not slept for a long time, he was really sleepy at the moment. It didn't take long for him to fall asleep.
"Your Majesty, wake up," Leng Shuang called to Gu Tingyu.
"Huh?" Gu Tingyu opened his eyes in confusion, then stood up, "We should go back."
Leng Shuang nodded.
The two people returned along the road. As soon as they walked out of a tree-lined avenue, they met Gu Tingyu's guards who were looking for them. They all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Gu Tingyu was safe and sound.
"Master, are you okay?"
"Master, you scared us. Fortunately, you are safe."
Gu Tingyu waved his hand to signal them to shut up, and then asked: "What's going on? Are you in any trouble?"
A guard came forward and reported: "Master, when we were patrolling in the mountains last night, we saw several corpses."
"Corpse?" Leng Shuang asked in surprise.
"Yes, those people were slashed on their necks," the guard said.
"Are you from Jianghu?" Gu Tingyu asked.
"I don't know," the guard said, "but looking at his clothes, he looks like a sergeant in a military camp."
"How did you know?" Leng Shuang asked.
The guard continued to answer: "Because there are blood stains on their clothes, and there is a faint medicinal smell. I have stayed with the prince for several years, so I remember this smell."
Gu Tingyu nodded, glanced at Leng Shuang again, and said, "Let's go back quickly."...
Leng Shuang didn't say anything. She carried the backpack on her back and walked down the mountain with Gu Tingyu. Gu Tingyu sat on Leng Shuang's back. He smelled the fragrance emanating from her hair and couldn't help but squint his eyes. This chapter has been completed!
