Chapter 133 Attack on the Road
"Trust the master." Qingfeng remained concise and to the point.
"Alas, the master said that the prince will treat Qing Yi with courtesy. Do you believe it? Instead of believing the master, it is better to believe that the brat is smart and will not suffer a loss..." Before the words were finished, there was a "creak" sound, and the door of the Northwest Prince's room opened.
Just now in the room.
"Xiao Ye, you're finally awake!" Qing Yi couldn't help but teasing the little prince of the Northwest who was still lying on the bed with one leg resting on him.
"Well, what time is it?" Ye Qingyu still had her eyes closed, her voice lazily. She had gone to bed late last night, so naturally she couldn't get up now.
"I guess it's 9 o'clock." Qing Yi turned his head to look at the sunlight pouring in through the window and estimated the time.
"Well, it's so late!" Ye Qingyu's vague sleepiness gradually dissipated, and he was trying to regain consciousness. He was about to withdraw his leg that was resting on Qing Yi's body when suddenly, he seemed to touch something.
"Hmm?" Ye Qingyu suddenly opened his eyes, all sleepiness gone.
"It's not my fault, is it? Look at your current posture, it would be strange if I didn't react." Qing Yi hurriedly tried to distance himself from the responsibility.
"As a hero, don't you even have this little self-control?" Ye Qingyu said as he sat up, and would never admit that he had a bad sleeping posture.
"Hey, Xiaoye, are you admitting that you're seducing me?"
"Qing Yi, answer me honestly, did you fall down on purpose last night?" Ye Qingyu asked with a little reluctance. He always felt that Qing Yi did it on purpose.
"Hey, Xiaoye, what are you talking about? If you didn't push me, would I have fallen down? I'm the only one who's been so honest. Why don't you try someone else? What's the point of getting out of bed at that time?" How could Qing Yi honestly admit that he did it on purpose? He quickly retorted.
"Xiao Ye, let's not talk about others, let's just talk about my master and King Shi. Think about it, if King Shi pushed my master off the bed, do you think my master would still climb back onto the bed obediently?" Qing Yi analyzed with reason and evidence, and even dragged his own master into the water, thinking that this would be more convincing.
"..." After hearing this, Ye Qingyu's mind flashed with the powerful aura of Master Mo and the scene of him getting up from the ground. He couldn't help but feel it was a bit weird and quickly shook his head.
"Yeah, that's because I have a good temper..." Qing Yi couldn't help but boast. The Northwest Prince raised his eyebrows and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, without commenting. Is this kid good-tempered or just thick-skinned?
The two chatted while getting dressed. When they were almost done, Qingyi went to open the door. Qingqing saw this and hurried forward to serve her master.
During her time in the capital, Qing Yi had gradually become accustomed to the Northwest Prince's way of being waited on. As long as he wasn't ordered around, it would be fine. She simply couldn't handle the job. So Qing Yi washed herself, letting Qing Qingqing carefully serve her master.
After packing up, the four of them continued their journey northwest towards Wangcheng. They stopped and walked along the way, which was quite pleasant. One day, they passed by the foot of a towering mountain, which was said to be called Phoenix Mountain.
"Murder, murder!" A shrill scream came from far away.
Upon hearing the sound, Ye Qingyu and the others suddenly pulled the reins. Everyone looked forward, only to see a figure stumbling and stumbling towards them, shouting at the top of his lungs.
"Hey, what's going on up ahead?" Qing Yi saw the man running closer and hurriedly asked.
Looking closely, the man was dressed like a hunter, but his face was as pale as paper, his eyes were full of fear, and he was scared out of his wits.
"Ahhh, sir, please spare me, sir, please spare me!" When the hunter saw these people, he was so scared that his legs went weak and he fell to his knees with a plop, his body shaking uncontrollably.
"Stop shouting, we won't kill you. Tell us what happened ahead?" Qing Yi frowned slightly and said in a deep voice.
The hunter's body was shaking, his teeth chattering, and he finally managed to squeeze out a few words from his throat: "Ahead...ahead...many people died, and there was so much blood..."
Hearing this, Qing Yi subconsciously looked towards Ye Qingyu. Ye Qingyu nodded slightly, indicating that he should go and see what was going on.
The four men ignored the hunter and urged their horses forward. Less than a mile into the distance, they were met with a strong, pungent smell of blood. As they drew closer, they saw forty or fifty corpses sprawled on the ground, their blood pouring out. The scene was truly horrifying.
"Who on earth is so audacious as to commit such a murderous act in broad daylight?" Ye Qingyu's face was solemn. He dismounted and planned to get closer to investigate. Seeing this, the other three also dismounted and followed closely.
"Look at the wound, it doesn't look like he was just killed, but the blood is so fresh. It's really strange!" Qing Yi squatted down, carefully looking at the wound on the corpse, and said in confusion.
"Is there any sign of poisoning?" Ye Qingyu asked, staring at the corpse.
"No." Qing Yi shook his head after checking carefully.
"The wounds are not in vital positions, and there is no poisoning. It should not be fatal." Qingfeng also carefully examined it from the side, frowned, and analyzed.
"Hey, this is so weird, it must be a ghost!" Before Qing Yi finished speaking, he suddenly heard a soft scream of "Ah".
"Huh?" Ye Qingyu, Qingfeng, and Qingyi were startled and turned to look at Qingqing's direction. However, the scene before them made their eyes widen instantly - where was she? Qingqing, who had just been standing there, was now nowhere to be seen.
"Where did Qingqing go? Is this really a ghost?" Qing Yi looked around and saw that there was no living person except them.
"..." The three of them exchanged glances, and suddenly, as if realizing something, they all leaped out of the area. However, they were still a step too slow. A massive net descended from the sky, bearing down on them like a dark cloud.
Ye Qingyu reacted quickly, tapping his toes and attempting to draw the icy black iron sword from his waist to slash the net. But to his surprise, his foot gave way, and the ground, which had just held its ground, began to slowly sink. He cried out inwardly, "Oh no!" and tried to use his Qing Gong to soar into the air, but the chance was gone. The net above him swooped down with a whoosh. Qingfeng and Qingyi were in a similar situation.
In this way, Ye Qingyu, Qingfeng and Qingyi all fell into the trap.
