The next few days were spent wandering around the mountains. One day, they came to a lake. Hunter Ye looked at the sky.
"My two lords, the water in this little lake is quite nice and clean. And judging by the weather, we have no choice but to stay here tonight."
Situ Chen also knew that what Ye the Hunter said was true. It was already the end of the afternoon and it was about to get dark. It was too dangerous to walk in the mountains at night.
"Well, okay, let's stay here tonight. But Uncle Ye, when can we get out of these mountains?"
Hunter Ye took off his knapsack and put it on the ground with a smile, saying.
"Young Master, you're getting anxious. Haha, we're now on the southern outskirts of Blue Mountain. Do you see that mountain? Let's set off early tomorrow. We should be able to cross that mountain by the afternoon. Once we cross that mountain, we'll be out of the mountains."
Hunter Ye told the truth and pointed to a mountain not far away. Lu Zifeng also looked in the direction of his finger. He did not say anything, but pretended to look back at the way he came unconsciously.
Lu Zifeng used his mental power to look over and found that among the dozen or so people who followed him, only five were sitting there eating and drinking, while the other ten or so people were nowhere to be seen. Lu Zifeng frowned.
However, he did not continue to pay attention to them. Instead, he used his mental power to spread it around. After a while, he found the ten or so people. It turned out that they were observing him and others in the mountains and forests on the other side not far away.
Seeing this, Lu Zifeng was certain that these people were coming for him and others. Based on the people who looked like they were from southern Xinjiang whom he met in the mountains two days ago, he thought that these people were the ones who delivered the message.
Lu Zifeng was reluctant to think too much, but the current situation forced him to think more. Perhaps, some people around King Jing did not want these people to rush to Southern Xinjiang. Of course, this was just Lu Zifeng's guess for the time being and could not be accurate. It seemed that these people could not touch them for the time being and they still needed to continue to monitor them to see who they were in cahoots with.
"What did Prince Lu choose? Why didn't you respond even after I called you several times?"
Hearing Xiao Changhe say this, Lu Zifeng also came back to his senses.
"Haha, sorry to make you laugh. I just became a father and have been away for quite a while. I miss my son a little bit."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Changhe burst into laughter and joked.
"It's more than that! Prince Lu probably wants a wife too?"
Xiao Changhe's teasing made Situ Chen, who had hardly smiled for several days, laugh as well.
Lu Zifeng was very thick-skinned, and he was not angry at Xiao Changhe's teasing.
"As for whether you want a wife or not, haha, I think married people probably all want a wife, right?"
"Cousin, what do you think? Are you missing your cousin?"
Situ Chen rolled his eyes at Lu Zifeng.
"Do you think your cousin has this kind of thought for the time being?"
Lu Zifeng was speechless when he heard this: Alas, my cousin is worried about His Royal Highness Prince Jing, which is understandable.
"Don't worry, cousin. His Royal Highness Prince Jing is definitely fine now. Perhaps he has just started leading his troops into battle again."
Situ Chen shook his head with a wry smile.
"You keep talking nonsense all day long. If my father is really as you say, I'd be relieved."
After dinner, it was getting dark, so the group camped out in a small woods not far from the lake.
Lu Zifeng climbed up a big tree and hid in the dense bushes. Lu Zifeng had a feeling that those people would probably take action tonight, so Lu Zifeng didn't plan to sleep.
Chun, Xia, Qiu and Dong had been told by Lu Zifeng that someone was following them, so they slept in four different directions. This action made Xiao Changhe's eyes flash, but he looked at Lu Zifeng lying on the tree calmly, then curled the corners of his mouth and leaned against a big tree.
At one o'clock in the evening, Lu Zifeng saw in his spiritual power those people holding long knives and quietly approaching the camp where he and his companions were.
Lu Zifeng broke off a few branches and hit Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. The four of them shuddered, then fell asleep again leaning against the tree without a sound.
It was not until those people approached the camp that Lu Zifeng slowly sat up and watched them pick up everyone.
Just as those people were approaching Chun, Xia, Qiu and Dong, four of them jumped up and slashed the necks of the closest people at an extremely fast speed. The sudden attack of the four made the group of assassins stunned in place. While they were stunned, Chun, Xia, Qiu and Dong attacked again and harvested four lives one after another.
After two consecutive attacks, Chun, Xia, Qiu, and Dong had killed eight people. At this time, those people had also reacted and attacked the four people with long swords in their hands. At this time, they knew that the assassination tonight had failed, so they did not intend to fight, but prepared to encircle Chun, Xia, Qiu, and Dong and then retreat.
But they underestimated the martial arts of Chun, Xia, Qiu and Dong. They were all trained by Lu Zifeng himself, and their martial arts skills were considered to be at an upper-middle level in the entire martial arts world. So when seven or eight of them besieged Chun, Xia, Qiu and Dong, they did not get a chance to escape. At this time, everyone had been awakened, and Xiao Changhe and dozens of Situ Chen's guards rushed up.
Lu Zifeng sat on a big tree, watching the killing. He really couldn't understand, did these people really want him and others to be slaughtered unilaterally?
Looking at the moves used by these people, they were all sword techniques that the men in the army had been using for years. As someone who had once served under the army commander, Lu Zifeng could tell at a glance where these people came from.
At this time, not only Lu Zifeng discovered it, but Xiao Changhe had also withdrawn from the battle circle, frowning as he looked at these men who were suspected to be soldiers.
He now somewhat understood what Lu Zifeng had been saying over the past two days. It seemed that some people wanted to stop him and others from going to Southern Xinjiang. Had they already formed an alliance with Southern Xinjiang?
Thinking of this, Xiao Changhe always felt that he was overthinking it, but now a lot of evidence pointed to someone in King Jing's army!
Lu Zifeng looked at Xiao Changhe, shaking his head and nodding his head for a while, and then ignored him. Instead, he focused on the battle circle. Not to mention the martial arts of the four people, Chun, Xia, Qiu and Dong, even the dozens of guards who woke up later, these people who looked like soldiers, were no match for them. It was over in just a few breaths.
Situ Chen pushed away the two guards standing in front of him, walked forward and took a look, then looked at Lu Zifeng.
"Brother Feng, these people should be from our army! Haha, maybe they are the general under my father's command?"
