This news made Lu Ning a little confused: "Where are the golden armored guards of the mission? Why not let them come to rescue people, but instead go to other places to move reinforcements?"
Hu Qi lowered his eyebrows helplessly and sighed: "What you don't know is that the Chishui Sect is very powerful and has almost the support of the entire people of Jiangning Prefecture! Because the Chishui Sect is claiming that the River Sacrifice Ceremony can cure diseases.
The whole city had to find boys and girls to sacrifice for them.
The three of you were sent here after being knocked unconscious by the postmaster of Guanyi. The same goes for those golden-armored guards, who were poisoned by the holy water and are still unconscious!"
In order not to worry Lu Ning, he did not tell anyone about the corpse refining technique.
Lu Ning frowned, his face tense: "These people are really crazy! They don't even distinguish between right and wrong in terms of ethics! One by one, they went from being good people to beings without thoughts, souls, and at the mercy of others.
Damn! It’s so sad and hateful!”
Lu Ning became extremely angry when he thought of what he had seen and heard in Chishui Sect these days.
Knowing that she had suffered too much, Hu Qi pulled her into his arms and comforted her softly: "Fortunately, hard work pays off. Now that I have found you, we can escape first! When the reinforcements arrive, we can take those two
Rescue people."
"No." Lu Ning clenched his fist sadly and sighed: "I drank too much divine water in the past few days, and now my body still can't exert any strength. I can't fight out with you, and I might even hurt you!
"
Hu Qi held her hand and asked: "What if we dress up as men in yellow? Maybe there is a glimmer of hope!"
Lu Ning was unmoved at all and still shook his head: "No, Liu Changting and I have been looking for Qianqian's whereabouts these days, but we have found nothing! If I just leave like this, Qianqian will be in danger!"
Seeing her persistence, Hu Qi became a little anxious: "Xiaolu, wake up! You are not an omnipotent god! You cannot save everyone! If you can't save her, will you die with her? You know this
How scary is the Chishui Sect? If you don’t leave, you will die!”
He really wanted to talk about the corpse refining technique he saw that day, but in the end he held back.
Seeing that he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, Lu Ning smiled and said warmly: "Xiao Qi, don't be anxious, listen to me first! The chance of us escaping together is very slim now, but it will harm you. If you are trapped here
, Master Xia, how are they going to find us? I heard from people in the Chishui Sect that Mu Qianqian is getting married to the leader tonight! If we can find the place where they got married, we can take her away with us, wouldn't that be better?
?」
"Where did the leader of the Chishui Sect come from?" Hu Qi frowned suspiciously.
Lu Ning also shook his head blankly: "We can only find out secretly, and I don't know the details. However, now that you are here, we have more strength with more hands! A wedding is not a small matter.
, I will definitely do something big, and I won’t be afraid of not finding anyone!”
Hu Qi pondered for a moment, then made up his mind and said: "Okay, then I'll do it! Compared to you and Liu Changting, it may be easier for me to find out Mu Qianqian's location. Toto is outside to respond at any time
Now, once I find Qianqian’s whereabouts, I’ll let Brother Toto take her away, what do you think?”
Hearing what he said, Lu Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay! If that's the case, why should we split into two groups? You and your brother will go rescue Qianqian, and Liu Changting and I will take the opportunity to escape tonight!"
Although Hu Qi wanted to be selfish, he fell in love with a chivalrous woman from all corners of the country. Even though he had all kinds of tenderness, he punched the cotton with his fist and had no effect.
He could only hold Lu Ning in his arms and said emotionally: "Okay! Toto and I are waiting for you to come back! You must come back!"
Lu Ning's cheeks turned slightly red and she said softly, "Don't worry! They say that good things come in hard times. We have gone through so many hardships, and I believe that we will be rewarded with all the hardships in the future!"
She doesn't believe this, but if these words can make Hu Qi feel better, she won't be stingy at all.
Her smile unlocked Hu Qi's heart.
He took Lu Ning's hands and looked at her carefully, his eyes full of love: "Xiaolu, I finally saw you in your wedding dress, but I didn't expect it to be in this situation..."
Lu Ning looked up at him and smiled, the moonlight shining through the window
The sun shines through, and her skin glows white under the moonlight.
Hu Qi gently hugged her slender body, Lu Ning slowly closed his eyes, and he kissed her lips.
----------------------------------------
No matter how much he was reluctant to leave, Hu Qi still had to leave the house where Lu Ning was imprisoned.
Lu Ning's eyes sent him away. It was the first time that Hu Qi saw a hint of helplessness and worry in Lu Ning's eyes.
After leaving, Lu Ning sat in the darkness holding the dagger tightly, feeling a little disappointed: it was not that she didn't want to leave with Hu Qi, but Mu Qianqian and Liu Changting were in trouble because of themselves.
Now that their lives were in danger, how could he leave them alone?
She couldn't see anything in the darkness, she could only feel the lines on the handle and scabbard, but she had never been so panicked in her heart.
Although her martial arts skills cannot be said to be advanced, she has never been so panicked no matter how great the danger she was in before. Now that she has lost all her martial arts skills, she finally feels helpless and confused like never before!
But at this moment, she thought of Yu Fengjin again!
The man she loved so much and hated so much. Now that she was in a desperate situation, where was he?
Why is he not there every time when I feel desperate?
Lu Ning was very upset: I was so stupid, how could I still expect that cold and heartless man to save me at this time?
All his life, he only cared about his own comfort, and all he thought about was revenge and the throne. When had he ever worried about other people or taken risks?
She endured the pain in her heart and waited silently. She knew that tomorrow was the sacrificial ceremony, and Liu Changting would definitely come to find her tonight!
In the silence of the night, no matter how gentle the knock on the door is, it will be very abrupt. The door only knocks three times and then stops. This is the secret code set by Liu Changting and her!
Lu Ning held the dagger tightly and stared at the door with both eyes, expecting and feeling anxious at the same time.
With a creaking sound, soft moonlight poured in, and Liu Changting's slender figure appeared at the door.
Seeing the familiar person, Lu Ning breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appeared on his face, and the dagger in his hand was hidden under the pillow.
"Liu Changting! I knew you would come!" At this moment, Lu Ning felt inexplicably at ease seeing the person he once hated the most.
Yu Fengjin gently closed the door, and the room fell into darkness again.
He groped through the darkness and walked to her side, and whispered: "Miss Deer, tomorrow is the sacrificial ceremony, but the rescuers haven't arrived yet. It seems that there is a problem on their side. For now, the three of us will
People can only leave one by one! I will rescue you first, and then I will go find Qianqian!"
Lu Ning interrupted him and said excitedly: "Listen to me, Hu Qi was here just now——"
"What?" Yu Fengjin was shocked and asked suspiciously, "Hu Qi? Has he also been arrested?"
Lu Ning shook his head and told him what happened in a concise and concise manner.
Of course, the little separation between the two was better than the wedding, so she naturally didn't mention a word about it.
Listening to her words, Yu Fengjin was silent for a long time, and the expression on his face could not be seen clearly in the darkness.
"That's okay." His tone suddenly became much lighter, mixed with a bit of loneliness.
"In this case, let's not delay. While they are busy with tomorrow's ceremony, let's leave here quickly!
Lu Ning took out the dagger and hid it on his body, just in case. Then he supported the bed and walked down, but as soon as his feet touched the ground, his legs went weak and he fell softly to the ground.
Yu Fengjin supported her and asked worriedly: "Is it still not working?"
Lu Ning bit her lip, wondering: "Why don't you leave first! Leave me alone, I'm just a burden now!"
However, Yu Fengjin said in a deep voice: "I will never abandon you!"
As he said that, he half-crouched in front of Lu Ning and patted his generous back: "Come up, even if you have to crawl, I will take you out!"
Lu Ningyi
I was stunned, and felt a wave of emotion in my heart.
"Why bother? We're like this. We're afraid they'll catch us before we even get out of the door! I've lost all my martial arts skills now and can't do anything! You should leave quickly! If we delay any longer——"
Before she could finish speaking, Yu Fengjin stood up suddenly and walked to her, looking at her firmly.
"Miss Lu, I'm offended!"
"You, what are you going to do?" Lu Ning was a little frightened by his momentum.
Yu Fengjin didn't say anything, picked her up by the waist, turned around and walked out the door.
A faint fragrance hit him, and Lu Ning lay down in front of his strong chest. For a moment, he was in a trance, thinking that he was being held by King Yi, so he let him hold him unconsciously.
The scorching heat of summer is depressing. On a silent moonlit night, the clear blue sky is like green water, washing away the filth of Chishui Sect.
The green grassy wall surrounds the moss-covered courtyard and is covered by curtains one after another. In the deep and winding garden, the branches are so dense that there seems to be no way out.
Yu Fengjin hugged Lu Ning and quickly walked out based on the route she had explored in the past few days.
He didn't know whether it was because of nervousness or fear, but there was a slight sweat on his temples.
Lu Ning felt his nervousness, and waves of fragrance came from his body, but Lu Ning was a little confused: apart from this face, why did the man holding him have the shadow of King Yi everywhere!
She accidentally took out the dagger left by Hu Qi from her arms and stuffed it into Yu Fengjin's clothes.
If he doesn't have the chance to go out and meet Toto and Hu Qi again, I hope he can escape from here!
Yu Fengjin seemed to feel her fear and comforted her as she walked: "Don't be afraid, we will get out of here alive! I promise you!"
Lu Ning stared at his face and murmured: "You... look a lot like someone I know."
Yu Fengjin was not surprised, but smiled slightly: "Oh? Who is he?"
Lu Ning lowered his eyes and said softly: "A person... who is very important to me..."
Yu Fengjin asked knowingly: "Is it that Crown Prince Annan?"
Lu Ning smiled awkwardly, but did not answer him. She felt that Yu Fengjin's arm seemed to be holding her a little tighter.
