The noise outside gradually faded away, and soon Lu Dong walked in.
"Sir, we've already killed them all. Not a single one is left alive. They are all determined warriors who would rather die than be captured."
Lu Zifeng nodded, "Have you figured out what those people are doing?"
Lu Dong shook his head. "Sir, those people's martial arts don't resemble those of the Jianghu. They do resemble those used by people in the northwest. Not completely, but somewhat similar."
"Well, go ahead. There's no rush for this matter. Our first priority is to take His Royal Highness Prince Jing back to the capital. We'll talk about this later!"
After getting up early in the morning and having breakfast, Lu Zifeng and others headed towards the mountains south of Anzhou Prefecture again. In just an hour, they arrived at the foot of the mountain.
This mountain is called Blue Mountain. The reason why it is called Blue Mountain is mainly because there are many blue stones in this mountain, so it is called Blue Mountain.
The Blue Mountains are more than 500 miles long from east to west and nearly 200 miles wide from north to south. The group found a village at the foot of the mountain and found a hunter who went into the mountains to hunt all year round as a guide.
The hunter's surname was Ye, and everyone in the village called him Ye Hunter. Ye Hunter was a nice guy, probably in his forties, and quite good at talking. Xiao Changhe was probably of the same age as him, and there was a sense of mutual appreciation between the two.
After entering the mountains, the mountain roads are very difficult to walk on. In some places, you cannot ride a horse and you need to dismount and lead the horse.
After walking for a whole morning, the group began to enter the deep mountains. Although they had prepared a lot of dry food, since they were in the mountains and had such conditions, the guards still divided into two teams on the premise of protecting their master. One team was responsible for hunting some prey, which would also serve as food for the group.
Situ Chen was a little depressed because he was worried about his father's safety, and he rode his horse listlessly.
Lu Zifeng felt helpless when he saw him like this. Although he was worried about King Jing's safety, he and his group were already heading to Southern Xinjiang very quickly.
Lu Zifeng looked at these mountain roads and thought that he probably wouldn’t be able to take this mountain road when he came back, and he would have to take the official road.
Suddenly, Lu Xia, who was exploring the way ahead, stopped abruptly. The group looked nervously at the surrounding mountains and forests. They were in a canyon with smooth cliffs on both sides.
Lu Zifeng's heart tightened. This wasn't a place to hide, so he immediately unleashed his mental power, only to discover that there were a dozen or so people on either side of the cliff, preparing to push the boulder down from above.
"Everyone, quickly move towards the two sides of the mountain wall, keep your backs against the wall, and try to hide. Someone is throwing large rocks down from above."
As soon as Lu Zifeng finished speaking, he used his speed ability and ran back the way he came from. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.
This scene shocked Xiao Changhe and Situ Chen. What did they see? When did people's speed become so fast?
Lu Zifeng didn't have time to think about these things at the moment. He just wanted to rush to the top of the cliff as soon as possible, preferably to keep all those people here.
Lu Zifeng was moving very fast. At this time, rocks had already rolled down from the top of the cliff. Fortunately, Lu Zifeng was alert and shouted in time, asking everyone to lead their horses and retreat to the edge of the cliff, trying to get as close to the cliff as possible and hide under it.
Lu Zifeng rushed to the top of the cliff, and before those people could react, he broke their necks.
Looking at the cliff opposite, the terrain there is slightly lower, so those people have not yet discovered that they have been killed by Lu Zifeng.
Lu Zifeng looked at the distance between the cliffs on both sides. It was at least five or six meters. At this distance, Lu Zifeng could use his speed ability to jump over it. Thinking of this, Lu Zifeng did just that.
After running more than ten meters backward, Lu Zifeng ran towards the opposite cliff. With the acceleration of his speed ability, he made a strong jump at the most suitable location and jumped directly over the cliff.
Lu Zifeng rolled on the ground and stood up to rush towards those who were still throwing stones. After a few rounds, all the stone throwers were killed by Lu Zifeng.
Lu Zifeng searched these people carefully, but found no other useful clues except some silver and money.
Lu Zifeng was not discouraged. These people all make a living from this, so how could they easily expose the person behind the scenes?
The people at the foot of the cliff could not hear the sound of rocks falling, so they tentatively stretched their heads to look upwards, but they could not see anything, so they had to walk out slowly.
"I think Brother Feng has already dealt with those people, otherwise they would never let it go!"
Situ Chen also thought of Lu Zifeng's figure when he left just now, and then he was certain that it was Lu Zifeng who did it.
Xiao Changhe also guessed that it must be Lu Zifeng's doing. At this time, he was sighing that Lu Zifeng, the prince of Duke Dingguo's Mansion, had such high martial arts skills. It seemed that the rumors in the capital might not be just rumors, but might be true. He just saw it with his own eyes and had to believe it.
"Yes, I never expected that Master Lu's martial arts skills are beyond the reach of ordinary people."
Upon hearing this, Situ Chen looked at Xiao Changhe.
"Brother Feng has made many achievements in the past two years. To this day, I have never heard of anyone whose martial arts skills can surpass his."
After Lu Zifeng returned, he felt relieved when he saw everyone was safe and sound. However, when he saw the two horses that were crushed to death, Lu Zifeng frowned.
Situ Chen saw Lu Zifeng frowning and stepped forward to explain.
"There's nothing we can do about it. The space below the cliff is so small that the two horses couldn't hide there, so they were crushed to death."
Lu Zifeng looked at Situ Chen.
"Based on what I just saw, these people should be from Southern Xinjiang. They look somewhat similar to us, but their skin is dark, which is different from us people from the Central Plains. In other words, it is possible that the assassinations along the way were all carried out by people from Southern Xinjiang."
Situ Chen frowned when he heard this.
"Then how did they know we were coming to Southern Xinjiang? Why did they always find us along the way?"
Lu Zifeng smiled.
"Cousin, we all understand this, but we still don't know where those people are."
Actually, Lu Zifeng had already noticed something. Not far behind their team, at most a mile away, there were about ten people following him and his group. However, Lu Zifeng didn't plan to deal with them for the time being. He wanted to see what those people were going to do. You know, those people all had the faces of people from the Central Plains.
After packing up, the group set out again towards the canyon.
