Chapter 426 You go first, I’ll cover you!
The two looked at each other, and only the sound of horse hooves rose and fell in the night.
The road to Xuanwu Gate is not difficult to walk on, and Lin Zhiqing can now feel some of what Liu Mang felt at that time.
Walking along the familiar route again, Lin Zhiqing could still imagine the scenes from that time in his mind.
All good things must come to an end.
Lin Zhiqing had never thought that he would come into direct combat with Jiang Liuyun at this moment.
"The wind is blowing." Lu Huai wrapped Lin Zhiqing's cloak tightly, blocking her view:
"The footprints of the past years have faded away with the long wind. Ah Qing, look forward."
Lin Zhiqing nodded and said, "That's right, we have to look forward."
They walked for a long time until they reached the familiar violet field and stopped.
Lin Zhiqing looked around and found that everything was normal, so he signaled Lu Huai and others to continue moving forward.
Not long after I walked out, a short, strange sound suddenly came from the flower field.
Several people stopped at once.
Yan Yu frowned, dismounted and looked towards the flower field.
But there was nothing unusual in the flower field.
"Strange, did you hear that voice just now?" Lin Shian approached Lu Huai and Lin Zhiqing.
Lin Zhiqing nodded:
"I heard it, but the sound is strange. Do you know what it is?"
Lin Shian shook his head: "I have no impression."
Lu Huai frowned and said, "It seems familiar, but I can't remember it right away."
"Me too." Yan Wu said, "This voice is very familiar, but I can't remember it."
"Think about it carefully first and be alert. This place is weird." Lin Zhiqing frowned and looked into the distance.
Lin Shian tightened the reins: "Don't move, I'll go explore the way first."
"Cousin, be careful." Lin Zhiqing reminded softly.
Lin Shian nodded and then walked forward.
Lu Huai said softly, "This voice... could it be trying to replicate your hypnosis?"
"Not like that." Lin Zhiqing shook his head. "Besides, even with hypnosis, he can't beat me."
"I believe he still has some self-awareness and won't be stupid enough to play mind-reading with me." Lin Zhiqing is somewhat confident in this regard.
If Jiang Liuyun really had another Liu Mang, then he might be able to tie up Lin Zhiqing for a while.
But if not, he would only be beaten by Lin Zhiqing when he tried to use the art of psychic analysis.
Jiang Liuyun wouldn't be that stupid.
"Hiss~"
Just as she was thinking, the long neigh of Lin Shian's horse was heard.
"Brother Shi'an? What happened?" Lu Huai pulled his horse and looked at Lin Shi'an in front of him.
Lin Shian's voice was relatively calm: "Nothing, it seems that some insect scared the horse."
"Bugs?" Lin Zhiqing had a feeling something was wrong:
“Cousin, you…”
"Don't move!" Yan Yu shouted loudly before Lin Zhiqing finished speaking.
The others were all stunned and said nothing.
Yan Wu concentrated his mind and looked around.
There seemed to be only the sound of wind in the air.
Lin Shian swallowed his saliva and couldn't help but speak:
"Yan Wu, what's going on? It's hard for me to stay still."
"Shh!" Yan Wu signaled Lin Shi'an not to speak, and then spoke softly:
"Listen carefully and see if you can hear any other sounds."
Lin Zhiqing and Lu Huai looked at each other and pricked up their ears.
The sound of wind, leaves rustling, and grass?
"Rustle~"
Lu Huai frowned: "This is a flower field, it's not surprising to have insects, but..."
"Too many." Lin Zhiqing opened his mouth.
Yan Wu nodded: "Yes, too many."
"Bring me the tinder."
Lu Huai picked up the tinderbox and threw it at Yan Wu.
Yan Yu received the fire starter, and with a "swish" sound, he tore off the corner of his clothes and wrapped it around the tip of his sword.
Then he lit the simple torch.
The moment the fire lit up, Lin Zhiqing and others gasped.
At some point, many insects and snakes appeared on the ground.
Lin Zhiqing only felt goose bumps all over his body.
She was not afraid of insects, but she couldn't help but feel sick at the sight of so many of them squirming together.
"Is this a poisonous insect?" Looking at those plump insects, Lin Zhiqing's teeth felt a little numb.
Yan Wu frowned, took out a dagger and poked a bug on the ground.
Then he shook his clothes with a chill, threw the burning clothes near Lin Shian, and got on his horse again.
Lin Shian quickly climbed onto the horse with the help of the firelight.
On the other side, Yan Wu observed the dagger with a serious expression:
"It's indeed poisonous. Don't get contaminated by the juice. Go!"
Hearing this, Lu Huai tightened the reins and walked towards the place where there were fewer insects.
But before he had taken a few steps, he heard strange noises in the flower field again.
Then he felt a chill on his back.
Something seemed to be flying towards him quickly.
Lu Huai pulled out the long sword from behind and swung it backwards instinctively.
Then he hugged Lin Zhiqing tightly before turning around to check.
Leaves?
He frowned slightly.
No, how could it be leaves?
"Lu Huai, what's wrong?" Lin Zhiqing noticed something was wrong and turned to look at Lu Huai.
Before Lu Huai could answer, several more leaves flew through the air.
Their goal was very clear, and they rushed straight towards Lu Huai.
"Be careful!" Lu Huai protected Lin Zhiqing and pulled the reins to avoid the leaves.
He raised his voice: "There's an ambush, be careful of the leaves and flowers!"
Hearing the voice, Yan Yu and Lin Shi'an turned around and landed behind Lu Huai and Lin Zhiqing.
Lin Shian opened his mouth: "You go first, we will cover your retreat..."
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly lost his balance.
The horse was tripped by something, let out a long neigh, and touched the ground with its front hooves.
The poisonous insects on the ground seemed to sense the fresh blood and swarmed forward.
Lin Shian supported the horse's body with one hand, straightened his body, and did not come into contact with the insects.
"Cousin!" Hearing the noise, Lin Zhiqing stuck his head out.
"Nothing." Lin Shian drew out his sword and chopped a few leaves.
"Gee!" Yan Wu pulled the reins and said to Lin Shi'an from a distance, "Get on!"
As he said this, he stretched out his hand.
Lin Shian stretched out his hand without hesitation, took advantage of the force and jumped, landing behind Yan Yu.
Then he looked at the horse that had just fallen.
The bloody hole on the horse's leg caused by the poisonous insect bite was getting bigger and bigger.
"Hey, pay attention." Yan Wu's voice reached Lin Shi'an's ears:
"Those leaves are also poisonous. They are not Dasheng's stuff."
"Not Dasheng? Where is that?" Lin Zhiqing also heard Yan Yu's words.
Yan Yu was about to speak when the strange sound rang out for the third time.
The leaves' attack became more and more fierce.
Yan Yu was originally planning to take Lin Shian away from the flower field, but was entangled again in a flash.
"Damn it, this thing isn't over yet!" Yan Wu turned to look at Lin Shi'an: "Come to the front!"
Lin Shian understood and grabbed Yan Wu's hand, and in an instant the two of them switched positions.
Yan Wu threw a small bottle from his arms, and Lu Huai caught it quickly.
