Chapter 580 A legitimate reason to hunt him down again!

They seemed to unleash the sound and momentum of a massive army!

Zongzheng Wuheng couldn't help but lift the carriage curtain and look back.

When he saw Duan Rong, he had already swiftly and decisively killed the four guards he had left behind.

Li Qingluo then mounted his horse.

And she looked up in his direction.

Zongzheng Wuheng's heart pounded faster and faster. At this moment, he even regretted that he should not have made such an impulsive plan and acted in this way.

He should lie low for a while longer, and strike when they have more confidence in him!

They were blinded by hatred and resentment, which is why they fell for their tricks again!

As Zongzheng Wuheng was pondering this, he suddenly heard a sharp whistle.

The horse, which had been being driven forward, suddenly reared up and refused to run any further!

It spun around in one spot, then turned and ran back.

Zongzheng Wuheng was immediately enraged and cursed, "So this is where they were waiting for me! You two heartless scoundrels!"

The guards shouted anxiously, "Your Highness, what should we do?"

"This horse is a well-trained warhorse. Just because its master commands it, we're going to ram it back!"

Duan Rongshi and Li Qingluo didn't even need to move.

The carriage would then return to them.

Zongzheng Wuheng, who had fled, was naturally brought back.

That's why they remained indifferent as Zongzheng Wuheng fled.

Because he couldn't escape their sight at all.

Zongzheng Wuheng gritted his teeth and shouted, "What are you waiting for? Jump now!"

It's too late to kill the horse.

Moreover, if this horse is killed now, they might all be thrown out of the carriage.

Losing an arm or a leg will be a minor matter in the end.

If you break your head, you're definitely not going to survive.

Relatively speaking, jumping over a horse-drawn carriage is actually safer.

Four guards rushed in, grabbed him and the Chu Emperor, and jumped off the carriage.

After rolling twice on the ground, it quickly got up again.

The guards carried him on their backs, holding the Chu Emperor on their shoulders, and ran forward quickly.

However, because the Chu Emperor struggled to escape, Zongzheng Wuheng personally fed him a pill.

Soon, the Chu Emperor became limp and powerless, turning into a puppet at everyone's mercy.

Suddenly, an arrow flew by.

One of the guards was immediately shot through the brain.

The archer was none other than Li Qingluo.

She, Duan Rongshi, and the guards were already rushing towards them.

The next second, Li Qingluo drew back the bow and aimed it at Zongzheng Wuheng's vest.

Zongzheng Wuheng shouted urgently, "Quickly—!"

"Turn around! Head southwest—"

"Go into the mountains, go into the forests!!"

Seeing that the group had disappeared into the mountains and forests, Li Qingluo slowed down his horse.

She looked calmly at Duan Rongshi: "Ashi, I will kill this man today."

On the night of the assassination attempt on the princess's residence in Daliang, Li Qingluo's arrow missed its mark.

Today, regardless of anything else, Zongzheng Wuheng's death day is approaching.

By keeping him alive for these two years, we have already done more than enough.

Their feud should finally come to a complete end.

After saying that, Li Qingluo spurred his horse and immediately gave chase.

Duan Rongshi sighed helplessly behind him.

Killing Zongzheng Wuheng is not difficult, is it?

The important thing is how to kill him legitimately in the Great Chu.

However, today is indeed an excellent opportunity.

Moreover, it was Zongzheng Wuheng who found him himself.

Duan Rongshi shouted "Giddy up!" and quickly gave chase.

Since she wants to kill Zongzheng Wuheng, then he should act quickly and deal with those assassins in the mountains first!

Zongzheng Wuheng was carried into the mountains by his guards, and only then did he realize that these were not just the Crown Prince's elite private soldiers and Li Qingluo's guards.

A large group of martial arts practitioners have somehow appeared in these mountains and forests!

However, they were dressed in robes of similar colors, and their martial arts moves suggested that they all belonged to the same sect, rather than being just a bunch of random martial artists.

"Where did all these things come from!?"

Zongzheng Wuheng couldn't help but shout in a low voice.

Guard: "Your Highness, judging from the appearance, it seems to be the Xiaoyao Sect, which has recently gained fame in the Great Chu."

"I heard that they traveled around doing good deeds, robbing the rich to help the poor, and did a lot of good things in the vicinity of Nan'an, so the local people all praised them."

"But I've also heard that the Free and Unfettered Sect was originally a sect from the Great Liang..."

"I don't know how they ended up in our Great Chu."

Zongzheng Wuheng finally understood: "Is there anything else you don't know?"

"This Xiaoyao Sect is actually Duan Rongshi's faction!"

"I had long heard that the Pei family had an organization back then, but it disappeared after the old Duke Pei died."

"So that's why they gave me this much time!"

"No wonder they were so fearless when they encountered the Crown Prince's men today!"

"So that's where they were waiting for me!"

"Could it be that they already knew I had written a secret letter to the Crown Prince?"

"But how is that possible!?"

"Does he have connections everywhere? Does he have spies in the palace too?"

Moreover, even if the Crown Prince has a thousand men, these martial arts figures number no more than a hundred.

However, they were all highly skilled in martial arts, several times stronger than the Crown Prince's elite troops.

One of them is worth ten, no problem at all!

The outcome of this match is indeed extremely difficult to predict.

Zongzheng Wuheng, furious, grabbed the guard's shoulder hard.

What are you waiting for?

"Run!"

However, he had barely finished speaking when he suddenly felt dizzy.

Then, it felt as if his heart was being ripped out; he opened his mouth wide but couldn't breathe.

Zongzheng Wuheng clutched his chest tightly, his eyes wide open, feeling as if his head was about to be smashed open, and he screamed in pain.

Something's not right—

"I...I'm in so much pain—"

Zongzheng Wuheng quickly realized what was happening.

"It's a symbiotic Gu."

"They lied to me..."

"That poison hasn't been cured at all!"

"Jinhua, where is Jinhua!"

"Take me to her quickly!"

We must find them!

However, the "killing" spirit in the mountains had already discovered them.

The guard was caught in a dilemma, unable to advance or retreat, and could only hurriedly cry out, "Your Highness—"

"We can't turn back now."

"We can't just rush in."

"And Your Majesty, we... we're afraid we can't take them with us!"

Bringing the Chu Emperor along would make them an even bigger target, and there would be no way they could escape the encirclement.

But now that things have come to this, how could Zongzheng Wuheng possibly abandon the Chu Emperor as his life-saving talisman?

He gritted his teeth and shouted, "We must bring it!!"

"It's already a dead end. Only by taking me, your father, with you will you have a chance to escape."

Just then, a guard shouted excitedly, "Your Highness, I've seen Jinhua!"

"She's over there."

"She's watching us!"

Zongzheng Wuheng also saw it.

Jinhua stood on the hillside.

He gazed intently in the direction of Zongzheng Wuheng from the crowd.

Suddenly, she turned and ran up the mountain.

Zongzheng Wuheng shouted, "Quick! Chase after them!"

The remaining three guards took off after Jinhua.

Fortunately, neither side paying any attention to them.

Even if the character for "kill" were seen with Zongzheng Wuheng, it wouldn't confirm that this person was now a traitor.

Although his men were still carrying the tyrant's back.

Without the master's order, the executioners all turned a blind eye until the master made the decision.

Sure enough, Li Qingluo quickly rode his horse down the mountain and then rushed into the forest.

She spotted Zongzheng Wuheng at a glance.

They were clinging awkwardly to the back of the guards, still reluctant to abandon the Chu Emperor, as they fled up the mountain.

Li Qinglu smiled slightly.

"Let me give you a boost!"

As she spoke, she raised her longbow and aimed it at Zongzheng Wuheng.

Then the arrow was shot out quickly and decisively.

An arrow struck Zongzheng Wuheng in the buttocks.

Suddenly, he straightened his back and then clutched his buttocks as if letting out a scream.

Then, the guards seemed to have their feet on fire, and they ran even faster.

Li Qinglu almost burst out laughing.

If Jin Hua hadn't needed to successfully remove the curse from A Duo, there wouldn't have been so much trouble and hassle in forcing him to come to this mountain.

It will be soon.

The sun overhead was already high in the sky at noon.

Ado will soon regain her freedom and will no longer be implicated in his death.

Li Qingluo only learned a couple of days ago that the method for curing the Tong Sheng Gu that A Duo had mentioned was a complete deception.

She had originally said that if Zongzheng Wuheng died, she would only have a high fever for a few days and then return to normal.

But when Li Qingluo sent Zheng Mama to invite the master and apprentice to remove the curse that day, Jinhua personally found Li Qingluo and told her the inside story.

"Luo'er, A'duo lied to you."

"The Tong Sheng Gu is not so easy to cure."

"If Zongzheng Wuheng really dies, Aduo will also fall into a deep sleep and never wake up."

"Although they won't die along with the dead, they're no different from the living dead."

“Unless, we gather Ado and Nazongzheng Wuheng under the scorching midday sun, burn their hair together to ashes, and then give it to them to consume.”

"Then, amidst immense pain, A'duo will expel the mother Gu as smoothly as giving birth."

"Although A'duo will vomit incessantly, from now on, the life or death of Zi Gu will have nothing to do with her."

After hearing this, Li Qinglu felt a wave of fear.

"If we ask him to obediently remove the curse, perhaps he will agree."

“But Zong Zheng Wuheng’s intentions are definitely different. Sooner or later he will turn against us and try to take my and A-Shi’s lives to avenge himself and turn the tables.”

"So why not take advantage of this opportunity to make him even more confident, believing that the great thing is bound to succeed?"

"I also want to take this opportunity to finally settle my score with him!"

So, when Jinhua and Aduo said they were removing the curse from him that day, it was actually just a trick to deceive him.

Insects, and even the medicine.

They were just fooling him.

The medicine was just an anesthetic.

This would allow him to instantly numb the pain that Ado was sending him.

A'duo has spent almost all of the last two days lying in her room. She doesn't even dare to take out insects to play with, nor can she use needle and thread to make shoes for her master and uncle.

She was afraid that she might touch upon something painful again and arouse Zongzheng Wuheng's suspicion.

Now, A'duo needs to remove the Gu poison.

And Li Qingluo can finally legitimately hunt him down again!

When Zongzheng Wuheng finally caught up to the mountain, he saw Aduo lying on a huge rock under the scorching sun.

The stone was completely black.

However, its surface is so smooth that water can run through it.

Ado was lying on the rock, groaning softly, looking extremely pained.

Zongzheng Wuheng was in even more pain than she was.

Besides being able to empathize with Ado's pain, he now also has a long arrow stuck in his buttocks.

Tears welled in his eyes from the pain, and he shouted, "What kind of tricks are you playing?!"

"I shouldn't have been so soft-hearted; I should have killed you all first!"
