Chapter 138: Die here?

The fog suddenly emerged from the ground like a monster, pouring into every street and alley, so thick that it was terrifying.

The whole town felt deserted.

Too quiet.

It will cause inexplicable swelling and ringing in the ears.

this.

It's so weird!

"Master, can I sneak in and take a look?"

Hongye stepped forward and asked softly. The prince nodded, and Hongye jumped onto the roof, then sneaked into a room quietly.

Everyone stood below and looked up.

A faint flame leaped out of the dark window, moving slowly like a ghost.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was filled with coldness and reached out to hold Chu Jiuning's hand tightly.

Fortunately, the night is as dark as ink.

They couldn't see each other's ears turning red.

Chu Jiuning watched Hongye change two or three rooms and said coldly.

"What exactly does this guy want to do? Scare us away? Or stop us here? Or does he simply want us to die in Wushan Town?"

"It's all possible."

They made such a big fuss, as if they were afraid they wouldn't notice.

The prince always feels.

This is an extremely arrogant provocation.

The men behind them were horrified when they heard this and asked them in fear.

"Are you being hunted by your enemies?"

Chu Jiuning turned her head.

"It's not just about enemies. Someone wants to kill us and silence us. We're doing all these things just to cover up the truth. The person we've offended is very important and powerful. You see, we know martial arts, but we can only run for our lives. If you follow me, you will probably be torn to pieces."

There were sounds of people gasping for air, and Chu Jiuning raised her tone to scare them.

"We've given you food, drinks, and medicine, but we have nothing left."

"But you have such fine clothes on you, and you have horses, and you can eat horse meat."

When they mentioned the horses under them, their eyes lit up. Such a big horse, even if it was chopped into small pieces and cooked into soup with some wild vegetables, could keep them alive for a few days.

and.

They had just thought about it. After getting the horse, they planned to hide and wait until they had eaten all the horse meat before gathering together with everyone else.

If you ask.

I just said that I went to work for them. I did the work, but I didn't get paid, at least I earned enough to eat a meal.

When the time comes.

Not only will people not doubt them, they will also feel indignant on their behalf.

There was a soft creaking of windows in the distance.

Hongye was agile and jumped out silently, then walked forward with a strange look on her face.

"Almost everyone was fast asleep. Even tapping them wouldn't wake them up. I tested the water they drank and found something in it. They'll be asleep until at least dawn."

No one was killed, but everyone fell asleep.

Get up during the day and go back to normal life.

What exactly does the person behind this want to do?

"Are they all asleep?"

The men on horseback were immediately eager to try.

"Then let's search their house and find all the food."

They felt it.

Just when they asked for horses, the murderous aura from the gloomy young man beside them suddenly became frighteningly powerful. It must be difficult for them to gain any benefit from them.

It would be better to look for it door to door.

They just couldn't believe that they couldn't find anything to eat in such a big town.

Once they found something, they would no longer have to worry.

"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up."

Several people jumped off their horses with a grunt, and without even looking at Chu Jiuning and the others, rushed towards the inky street.

Even though Chu Jiuning had met all kinds of people in the business world, he couldn't help but sneer when he looked at them.

"Leave it to them, Hongye, gather our people and leave quickly."

Then.

Everyone reined in their horses and turned around to leave the town.

The dark night sky.

A flare suddenly exploded, emitting colorful light.

In the dilapidated temple.

The common people were originally discussing what to ask these people to find for them to eat and drink tomorrow.

But suddenly discovered.

After an explosion outside.

Those who took care of them disappeared in an instant.

They were the only ones left in the temple.

It was as if those people had never appeared.

Someone quickly got up and rushed out to take a look.

The carriage that was originally given to them, the horses started running out after hearing the whistle.

No matter how much you shout, he won’t come back.

"What a pity for our carriage."

Amber was very angry.

Saving people is a good thing, and they are willing to do so, but she is not willing at all to save some ungrateful people.

"Miss, not everyone is worth helping, right?"

There was a hint of worry in Mingtang's eyes. The young lady said she wanted to leave, and she was afraid that the Crown Prince would have a bad impression of her young lady because of this.

"Yes."

Chu Jiuning nodded and patted Amber's hand.

"The horses are specially trained and won't leave me for long. They should be coming over to me by now."

Then he spoke to Mingtang.

"I'm not interested in unconditionally helping the weak. It's true that they're fleeing, but not everyone among them is sick or injured. If they help each other, those in the mountains, in the water, and in the trees won't starve. But you all saw them sitting by the roadside, staring at the intersection, just waiting for some scapegoat to rescue them and get something for nothing."

Greed is human nature.

Add to that the badness, and they'll turn greed into a weapon!

If Chu Jiuning hadn't been worried about the person behind the scenes, using these people as bait and holding something against them, he might have wanted to kill them.

Amber and Mingtang nodded heavily and looked at their young lady with admiration in their eyes.

Hongye looked at them and smiled.

The prince listened to them and didn't say anything, but he didn't object either.

Amber and the other one looked at it and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

soon.

All the guards and secret guards gathered together.

Amber and Mingtang took out all the dirty things from the carriage and burned them, then went to the river to clean the carriage, tidied it up, and then everyone rushed into the night ahead.

"We can investigate Wushan Town again on our way back."

"good."

The prince and Chu Jiu were chatting in deep voice.

They deliberately drove the fleeing people to the intersection and emptied out all the things in the town to attract their attention, so that they would enter the town to investigate.

There is a town.

Who would rest in the wild mountains and wilderness?

Once they drink the water, they will naturally feel drowsy.

In this way.

The best time to take action has arrived.

The other party seemed to have been making arrangements and testing their ability to endure.

In this silent battle, they wanted to find out whether the prince was unlearned, retreated in the face of danger, or was cruel and brutal.

but.

They missed only one thing.

That is it.

The prince ignored them completely.

And I'm not afraid of them.

I'm sure the other party will be furious when they find out about this result.

Run all the way.

at last.

They arrived in Jiangzhou half a day earlier than scheduled.

After entering the city.

Chu Jiuning and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dressed up as a wealthy couple, while the others were servants. They found a teahouse and ate something while listening to them talk about the flood in the Linshan area.
