Those who were originally there to watch the fun realized that there was nothing fun to watch after seeing this. Not only did the two people not fight, it seemed that they did not take the past events seriously.
Everyone dispersed and returned to their seats, and this little episode passed.
Mrs. Zheng said, "The sun is shining brightly now. Let's go for a walk in the garden. I have some excellent black orchids. Let's go and have a look."
Everyone agreed and, led by Mrs. Zheng, walked towards the garden of the Zheng Mansion.
Mu Qing and his group headed south after leaving the city. Half an hour later, they split into two groups, one heading east and the other west. The two groups had the same number of soldiers and guards, and they looked no different on the surface, with the same things on their carts.
The two teams were attacked only a quarter of an hour after they were separated.
Mingyue and Mu Qing are both quite skilled in martial arts, and the other party seemed to be just trying to test their abilities, without exerting much strength.
But it was different on Xing'er and Black Hawk's side. Every move they made was vicious and ruthless.
Mu Qing and Ming Yue stood back to back, looking at the people surrounding them. Mu Qing said, "No, these people are not coming for us. They seem to be confirming something!"
Mingyue seemed to have thought of something and said, "They are testing me. I know!"
Mingyue then immediately jumped up, pulled out the soft sword Chenqiu had given her this morning from her waist, and roared, "Protect the quilt. If anything goes wrong, return with your heads and report back."
Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, the situation immediately changed. The people here suddenly seemed to go crazy, attacking at the fatal point with every move.
Mu Qing and Ming Yue exchanged a glance and were completely unable to move their hands. The other party set off a signal firework, and in a short while, the number of people coming more than doubled.
But suddenly there was no one on Xing'er and Black Hawk's side. When those people saw the signal fireworks in the sky, they all went towards Mingyue and Mu Qing.
Black Hawk and Xing'er exchanged a glance, and Black Hawk said, "They've led us away. We need to speed up! We need to deal with these things before they react!"
Then the carriage in front ran very fast, and the two guards behind quickly covered up the ruts.
The people who came were all masters, and Mingyue and Mu Qing were finding it increasingly difficult. A masked woman in black came out from behind, drew her sword and cut the rope that fixed the quilt on the car, and sure enough, a box was revealed from inside.
Then two people behind the woman in black stepped forward and cut the lock on the box with a knife. When they opened the box, there was no gold, silver or jewelry inside, only big stones.
The masked woman yelled, "Ah... Kill these two! The rest of you, get back on that road and chase them!"
But it was too late. There was no trace of a carriage or even a wheel track on the road.
The woman in black gritted her teeth and said, "What a jerk Ye Chen is! He took the key to my treasure and is now trying to cheat me. Just wait and see."
Then he said to the person behind him: "Hanshan, how is it? Did you see my brother?"
The one called Hanshan shook his head and said: "No, the Crown Prince refused to see us, we..."
The woman in black clenched her fists and said, "I'm going to see him. He gave away the keys to his treasure. I have to ask him what he thinks!"
Then the woman in black got on her horse and rode away towards Xiangguo Temple.
Mingyue and Muqing realized that there was no need to act anymore, so they started fighting and retreating at the same time. However, these people had received a death order, and their attacks did not weaken at all, but became more and more relentless.
A group of servants and guards were injured or killed. Mu Qing said, "We must retreat. I hope Xing'er and the others will be fine."
Mingyue said: "They have noticed it, we just need to protect ourselves, retreat!"
Those people chased them relentlessly, and Mu Qing and Mingyue fought and retreated all the way. They themselves didn't know where they retreated to.
When the two had a chance to catch their breath, there was only a cliff in front of them.
Mu Qing looked at the cliff and said, "It's too high, we can't climb up!"
Mingyue said: "If I can't get up, I'll fight my way out. I haven't lived enough yet."
Mu Qing smiled and said, "I haven't lived long enough, and I haven't married you yet."
Mingyue sneered and said, "If we can return alive today, I will marry you as long as you are not missing any limbs."
Mu Qing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, for what you said, I have to live well too. Let's fight back together!"
Then the two of them turned back. As soon as they got back to the way they came, they met the dozen people. Mu Qing and Mingyue looked at each other and rushed forward together. Mingyue's kung fu was the same as Shen Qiu's, both of which were honed on the battlefield. He was quick and decisive in his moves. Mu Qing was a guard and his skills were better than Mingyue's.
But after a few rounds, although the other side suffered many casualties, both of them were also injured.
Mu Qing said, "Let's go this way," and then the two of them ran into the dense forest on the side.
After the two ran in, they ran around all the way, and the people following them gradually became silent.
The dense forest was dark, the trees blocked out the sun, and it was impossible to tell what time or where it was.
The two of them were resting under an ancient tree. Now that they had stopped, they felt a little pain in the wounds on their bodies.
Mu Qing said, "I'll go see if there's any water. The wound needs to be cleaned before applying the medicine."
Mingyue said, "I'll go with you. We don't know where we are right now, and we don't know if there will be any wild animals. If we stay together, we can look after each other."
Mu Qing nodded, and the two of them found a small stream. After cleaning each other's wounds and applying medicine, they lit a bonfire. It was unknown what time it was outside, but the forest was already pitch dark.
Mu Qing: "I'll go find something to eat. It looks like we'll be staying here tonight."
After Mu Qing left, Mingyue jumped onto a small tree next to her. She was afraid of the dark, but she was too embarrassed to tell Mu Qing. She felt a little more at ease climbing a tree, being alone in the wilderness.
After a while, Mingyue heard the sound of something heavy falling to the ground, and she knew that Mu Qing had caught some wild game.
Mu Qing prepared the game and asked Mingyue while roasting it, "Does your promise to marry me when you return still count?"
Mingyue was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, "It counts, but there's a condition."
Mu Qing asked hurriedly: "What are the conditions? I agree to them all."
Mingyue smiled and said, "Even if I marry you, I have to live in the Duke's Mansion. I can't leave my wife."
Mu Qing smiled and said, "I thought it was a big deal. Of course I live in the Duke's Mansion. I don't have my own house." Mu Qing spoke the rest of the words very softly, but Mingyue still heard it.
Mingyue said, "Madam, Xing'er and I have grown up together and have never been apart. Even if you have a house, I won't live there."
Mu Qing said: "I am an orphan. The old Duke brought me back. The Duke's Mansion is my home."
Then he smiled at Mingyue and said, "From now on you will be my home. I will be wherever you are." Mingyue lowered her head and smiled, but her red ears showed how shy she was now.
