The night was dark and windy.
Lu Jingxuan hid in the jungle beside the road. Soon Wei Long's figure flashed by. After waiting for a moment, Lu Jingxuan went in the opposite direction.
His original plan was to remain silent, and after obtaining evidence of Xiao Cheng's rebellion, he would return to Ruifeng County, organize the evidence, write a letter, and ask someone to send it to Jinling.
But now he has changed his mind. Xiao Cheng will definitely find out that these letters are lost. According to his understanding of Xiao Cheng, if he wants to prevent this from being exposed, he will definitely launch an attack on Qianhu Suo. Only the dead will not reveal the secret.
Lu Jingxuan was not sure whether Pei Yun could block Xiao Cheng's attack. Most likely he could not. After all, he was just the reincarnation of a god, not a real god. He was still a mortal and would die if he was injured.
Therefore, Lu Jingxuan decided to go to Jinling in person so that he would not be delayed on the way. He hoped to expose Xiao Cheng's conspiracy before he attacked Qianhu Suo. In this way, if the court held him accountable, Xiao Cheng would not have time to attack Qianhu Suo.
Thinking of this, Lu Jingxuan sped up again, but it would be dangerous for him to go to Jinling. His enemy was in Jiangnan, and he hoped that he would not be so unlucky to meet him.
When you arrive at the next county town, write a letter to your lord and ask him to be prepared.
The other side.
On the official road leading to Ruifeng County, Leng Qingqiu, Xiao Zhiruo, and Qinghe were galloping on their horses.
After escaping from the pursuit of the Black Feather Guards, Leng Qingqiu arrived at the place where he had agreed to meet with Xiao Zhiruo, and the three of them set off.
The Black Feather Guards were chasing them from behind, but they were still some distance away from them. The three women did not dare to relax, especially Xiao Zhiruo and Qinghe. They had no ability to protect themselves against the Black Feather Guards and would definitely be captured.
They could only pray that they could get to Qianhu Suo as soon as possible, so that they would be safe.
…
Thousand households.
Pei Yun was a little restless. Although he had confidence in the abilities of Leng Qingqiu and Lu Jingxuan, he was going to the palace to rescue people after all. He didn't know whether he could rescue Xiao Zhiruo.
He also didn't know whether Xiao Zhiruo would go with Leng Qingqiu.
Although he was sure that Xiao Zhiruo had deep feelings for him, Xiao Cheng had raised her for nineteen years, so Pei Yun didn't know what choice she would make.
If you choose Xiao Cheng, he can understand it.
"Brother, don't worry. Miss Leng is very cautious and now she is a top-notch expert. She will definitely be able to bring the princess back."
Seeing that Pei Yun was somewhat uneasy, Xu Zong tried to comfort him, feeling somewhat envious. Leng Qingqiu was already a first-rate master. If he was still in the Yanyu Tower in Qingyang County, he would probably become Leng Yi.
But he is still a third-rate warrior and has not made much progress.
Pei Yun also knew that it was useless for him to be anxious now, but he had to think about it.
"Brother, there is movement down the mountain."
Wang Xuan shouted from the observation deck. Pei Yun hurried up to the observation tower and saw a black spot appearing at the foot of the mountain. It was too far away and could not be seen clearly even with a telescope.
As the distance got closer, Pei Yun could see clearly that there were two horses, and on them were Leng Qingqiu, Xiao Zhiruo, and Qinghe.
Behind them, there were more than twenty knights wearing black clothes, chasing them closely.
Pei Yun's eyes focused, Black Feather Guards!
He is really persistent. He actually chased me here.
At this time Leng Qingqiu fell behind.
"Princess, you guys go to the Qianhu Office first, and leave this to me."
Leng Qingqiu didn't expect that the Black Feather Guards behind him were so persistent and would catch up with him. So he decided to deal with them here.
Anyway, we have reached the foot of the mountain, so there is no need to worry about Xiao Zhiruo getting caught.
Leng Qingqiu dismounted and stood guard on the road leading up the mountain. With a sword in hand, he looked like a man blocking the pass from ten thousand.
"Sir, shall we continue the pursuit?"
Someone from the Black Feather Guards spoke up. Although they had lost Xiao Zhiruo before, they knew their destination was Ruifeng County, so they kept chasing after them.
Sure enough, they found traces of Xiao Zhiruo again, but the distance between them was too far, and they could not catch up for a while, so they could only go to Ruifeng County. Now they arrived here and saw Xiao Zhiruo going up the mountain.
They knew that the place on the mountain was the Qianhu Suo. Once Xiao Zhiruo arrived at the Qianhu Suo, they, with more than twenty people, would definitely not be able to rescue her.
But the prince has ordered that if he is alive, he must be seen in person, or if he is dead, his body must be seen.
For a moment, the leading Black Feather Guards were a little undecided. Leng Qingqiu was blocking them at the foot of the mountain. If they forced their way in, they would suffer heavy losses. Leng Qingqiu had killed thirteen Black Feather Guards before, so she already knew that this woman was a first-rate master.
I'm afraid that no one can deal with them except Commander Weilong.
After thinking for a while, the leading Black Feather Guard said, "Zhang Hu, send a message to the commander and ask him what to do next."
Zhang Hu nodded and took out a cage from his horse's back. There was a bird in the cage. He wrote a note, tied it to the bird's feet, and let it fly away.
"Retreat first and wait for the commander's reply."
Everyone nodded and slowly retreated. Leng Qingqiu raised her eyebrows slightly when she saw this. She thought these Black Feather Guards would continue to rush over, but she didn't expect them to back down.
She mounted her horse and headed up the mountain.
Inside the Qianhu Office, Pei Yun had already brought people down the mountain to pick them up. Halfway down the mountain, they saw Xiao Zhiruo and Qinghe riding on the same horse.
"Husband!"
When Xiao Zhiruo saw Pei Yun, she was immediately overjoyed, and the tiredness from running for days seemed to have disappeared.
Pei Yun pulled the horse and carried Xiao Zhiruo down. Since the other party had come, it showed her feelings.
"Thanks for your hard work."
"As long as I can see my husband, all the hardship is worth it."
Pei Yun was a little moved. The other party was a princess who gave up the palace where she had lived for 19 years and ran here. It felt like a rich girl eloping with a poor boy.
