Chapter 300: Chase
The weather was not cold and Feng Aoqing did not light a fire, so people outside did not know that there was someone in the temple.
She stood up and went to the window to observe.
A man's voice: "You'd better come with us and don't make things difficult for us."
A woman replied: "If you have the guts, just kill me."
Feng Aoqing heard the voice and felt it was somewhat familiar, so she went to the window and looked out.
In the darkness, I couldn't see the people's faces clearly, I only knew that there were six men surrounding a woman.
Feng Aoqing was prepared to stand by and watch as things had nothing to do with her.
The leader gave an order, but Feng Aoqing didn't think it was a trap. Her heart trembled, and she hesitated whether to save him or not.
Unexpectedly, the woman stood up, straightened her clothes, and wiped the messy hair on her temples. At this moment, just looking at her shadow, one could feel that her demeanor was extremely elegant, and she was definitely not an ordinary person.
"The order you received is to kill! Killing the current Crown Princess, this is a crime your master can bear, can you bear it?" she asked sternly.
"Crown Princess, we are only following orders. No matter who the other party is, we have to obey the order. Please forgive us." The leader seemed to know her identity.
"If I die, my father will definitely investigate thoroughly, and none of you will be able to escape." Zhou Jirou laughed harshly.
She knew her father best. His face was more important than anything else. It didn't matter that his daughter was killed. What mattered was that he was slapped in the face. So her father would definitely find out who killed her. If the other party was powerful, her father would even get something in return.
Feng Aoqing in the temple was speechless. If you want to run, just run. Why did you run to me?
There is no way we don't save him.
After a little thought and careful observation, I realized that there were six people opposite me. Although their martial arts skills were not bad, they could not withstand my poison.
Feng Aoqing opened the window a crack and threw a poison bomb into the crowd. Smoke rose and those people didn't know what was happening. The smart ones covered their mouths and noses, while the stupid ones just accepted it.
It was no use being clever or not. This time, she killed them and they fell to the ground.
Seeing someone fall to the ground, she rushed out of the ruined temple, caught Zhou Jirou, who had also inhaled the poisonous smoke, and stuffed an antidote into her mouth.
Zhou Jirou originally wanted to struggle, but she felt that the other person was a woman who had been poisoned and was about to faint, so she had no strength to struggle.
Feng Aoqing whispered, "I am Feng Aoqing, follow me!"
As she spoke, she carried Zhou Jirou, and the two of them went behind the dilapidated temple and into the mountains.
It took Zhou Jirou a while to come back to her senses. She was dragged by Feng Aoqing, stumbling through the forest and mountains.
It took a long time before I could see clearly that the person next to me was Feng Aoqing.
She asked in astonishment: "Feng Huajun, why is it you?"
Feng Aoqing said helplessly: "I was just about to ask you! How did you run so far? I just got here on horseback!"
Zhou Jirou felt much better. She adjusted her pace to catch up with Feng Aoqing and said with a wry smile, "You're traveling, so you walk slowly. I'm running for my life, so I have to hurry."
Feng Aoqing was amused by her, so she said, "That's true."
Zhou Jirou was no match for Feng Aoqing. After walking on the mountain road for an hour, she could no longer move.
Seeing her like this, Feng Ao could only stop and rest.
The two found a dry spot and, not daring to light a fire, settled under a tree to rest. Feng Aoqing retrieved food and hot water from her space. She had left in such a hurry that she had left her horse and bag at the ruined temple. Zhou Jirou knew her situation and that she shared the same abilities as Xue Jiaer, so she didn't shy away from it.
For some reason, she felt that Zhou Jirou looked excited.
"Is being hunted by someone a good thing? And you're so happy."
"What makes me happy is not being hunted, but meeting you."
"I didn't really want to run into you! I was walking along just fine, but you suddenly showed up and disrupted my entire rhythm."
"Yes, you saved me again." Zhou Jirou held her hand.
"Seeing these grown men bullying a woman like you, I had to take action. Are there any pursuers behind us?" Feng Aoqing asked.
"I don't know how many times this has happened. They've killed everyone around me. I'm the only one left. If I run again, I'll be captured. I can't run anymore. They don't want to catch me, they want to kill me."
Feng Aoqing nodded and said, "I saw it, that's why I took action. If they were just trying to catch me, I might not have taken action. So it's not the prince's people, it's Lao Wu's people."
"No wonder you killed them all in one breath just now. It's because you didn't need to ask, right?" Zhou Jirou was sober and never too panicked at any time.
"You won't get anything out of me if I stay." Feng Aoqing didn't care at all.
"What are you going to do now? If you save me, you will become their enemy." Zhou Jirou was a little worried about Feng Aoqing.
"You should ask them what they dare to do to me." Feng Aoqing sneered.
Zhou Jirou didn't say anything else. She probably knew why Feng Aoqing left.
"Alright, hurry up and eat. We can't stay here for long. We need to move to another place soon to avoid being overtaken by pursuers. I definitely won't be able to move fast with you."
Zhou Jirou nodded and gnawed the bread in her hand desperately.
Feng Aoqing saw that she had suffered a lot and now she didn't look like a princess at all.
If it were an ordinary day, she wouldn't eat so voraciously. She would smooth out any wrinkles on her clothes or change them. She wouldn't be so sloppy as she is now. I can't help but feel a little distressed.
While eating, Zhou Jirou told Feng Aoqing about her situation.
She told Princess Cong all of the prince's properties in other countries, hoping to exchange them for her freedom, and Princess Cong did the same, and she went to ask Feng Aoqing for help.
Princess Cong knew that if the Crown Princess continued to go crazy, the Queen would definitely let Feng Aoqing treat the Crown Princess, so there was a chance for the two to meet.
So Princess Cong asked Feng Aoqing to tell the Crown Prince or the Queen that the Crown Princess should not stay in the Crown Prince's Mansion, but should go out and live somewhere else, so as not to be reminded of her loved ones by seeing things and aggravating her condition.
This condition sounds very reasonable, so neither the queen nor the prince would refuse Feng Aoqing.
Feng Aoqing also thought it was a piece of cake, so after treating the Crown Princess, she told the Crown Prince and the Queen about it.
The next morning, the Crown Princess was sent out of the mansion by the Crown Prince to Jingning Temple.
Princess Cong's original plan was to wait for Zhou Jirou to live in Jingning Temple for a while before arranging for her to leave.
Unexpectedly, before reaching Jingning Temple, the people chasing the murderer had already arrived.
When she set out, she brought a few close associates with her, but they were all killed to protect her, leaving her alone.
Even so, she managed to escape all the way to Yancheng with her clever mind and luck.
