1141 Suspicion, a familiar and special smell
When the old man saw Feng Qingchen, he was instantly distracted and his movements were careless. The price of his excessive surprise was that he almost strangled Nanling Jinfan to death.
"Ouch..." Nanling Jinfan's face showed pain, and the deputy general and the people from the Tiger Guard Camp shouted: "Your Highness!"
This shout actually brought the old man back to his senses. The old man retracted his gaze and said viciously: "Why are you shouting? You are not going to die yet."
After saying that, he dragged Nanling Jinfan in front of him and said, "Get another horse."
Is he going to follow him? A hint of coldness flashed across the Ninth Prince's eyes, and he was secretly on guard in his heart.
"Give it to me!" Nanling Jinfan didn't dare to disobey because he was afraid of the consequences.
The people from the Tiger Guard Camp immediately brought two horses over. Feng Qingchen was confused and didn't understand why the old man just looked at her and wanted to go with them.
But he didn't think much about it. He just thought that the old man recognized him and knew that his head was valuable.
The Ninth Prince held Feng Qingchen's hand and comforted her silently. Feng Qingchen responded with a faint smile. The two of them climbed onto their horses, and the Ninth Prince held Feng Qingchen in his arms.
The old man also pulled Nanling Jinfan onto the horse, but he did not abuse Nanling Jinfan too much. Instead, he threw him on the horse and said, "Pick four people, put down your weapons, and follow me to lead the people."
This was to tell the group of soldiers who were eyeing him covetously that he had no interest in taking Nanling Jinfan's life.
After saying this, he rode forward without waiting for anyone to make a choice. The Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen took a step ahead, whipping their horses and running.
Two hundred thousand soldiers just watched helplessly as the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen left openly, and they were almost upset to death.
When Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince and his entourage rushed out of the camp, the deputy general couldn't help but say, "Brothers, chase them!"
Although they were chasing him, they did not dare to get too close, for fear that the old man would get angry and kill Nanling Jinfan.
The horse galloped in the dark night at lightning speed. Feng Qingchen could not see the road clearly and did not know the direction. In order to avoid being scratched by the branches beside him, Feng Qingchen could only bury his head in the arms of the Ninth Uncle.
"It's so dark, we can't see the road clearly. If we keep running like this, will we get lost?"
"If we get lost, we're lost. There's nothing to be afraid of." The Ninth Prince took Feng Qingchen and took the small path along the way. Fortunately, the horse was smart enough and didn't stupidly bump into the trees.
"Where are Doudou and the others?" Feng Qingchen was worried that everyone had gotten separated and would be hard to find.
"We have secret guards to protect us, so you don't have to worry. We have already agreed in advance where to meet." Under the nose of Nanling Jinfan, the Ninth Prince agreed on all the details with Doudou, which shows that Doudou is by no means a simple idiot.
Knowing that everything was planned, Feng Qingchen said no more, and soon the four of them rushed deep into the forest. The Ninth Prince stopped halfway and said, "It's almost time, dismount."
After saying that, without waiting for Feng Qingchen to react, he jumped down while holding Feng Qingchen in his arms, and then struck the horse hard with the sword. The horse felt the pain and ran away wildly.
The old man was the same as the Ninth Prince, but he did not put Nanling Jinfan down. Instead, he took the reins and tied Nanling Jinfan to the horse's back. He also stabbed the horse and let it run forward.
It was dark that day, and the soldiers could only follow the sound of horses to find people. It would be safer for them to jump off their horses and hide in the woods. However, it would be hard for Nanling Jinfan, as he would probably have a very bumpy journey.
"Let's go." The Ninth Prince pulled Feng Qingchen and protected her by his side, being quite wary of the old man.
The Ninth Prince had seen the old man's unusual reaction when he saw Feng Qingchen just now. It was always better to be more cautious just in case.
The old man seemed unaware of the Ninth Uncle and Feng Qingchen's vigilance against him, and walked directly to the other side of Feng Qingchen. The three of them walked forward in the dark, and the old man would steal a glance at Feng Qingchen from time to time.
It was too dark, and the old man's eyes were quite secretive, so Feng Qingchen didn't notice anything. However, she felt a little nervous walking with the old man.
The three of them, each with their own thoughts, walked silently into the forest. Just as the Ninth Prince had said, the soldiers did not chase them, but chased the horses.
When they turn around, you may not be able to chase them even if you want to.
The sky gradually brightened, and Feng Qingchen's heart was relieved a little. He glanced at the old man beside him and thought to himself, this old man didn't kill me at night, and now that it's daybreak, he won't kill his opponent again, right?
"There is a stream there, you can wash yourself there." The Ninth Prince pointed to the stream not far away and said to Feng Qingchen.
Judging from the Ninth Prince's appearance, it seemed that he had no intention of accompanying her. Feng Qingchen guessed that the Ninth Prince probably had something to say to the old man. Feng Qingchen did not ask any further questions and ran towards the stream in small steps.
After Feng Qingchen left, the Ninth Prince took two steps to the side. The old man was also a smart man and followed him immediately.
"What's the girl's name?" the old man asked straight to the point.
“You know that Feng Qingchen is the number one on the Killer Alliance’s wanted list.” The Ninth Prince said this with murderous intent in his eyes.
The old man was slightly startled, and seeing the Ninth Prince's expression, which became more solemn, he thought to himself, this man is not as easy to talk to as Doudou said.
The old man took a deep breath, calmed himself, and asked, "Is her last name really Feng?"
Of course the old man knew Feng Qingchen's name, but he just didn't believe it.
The Ninth Prince's words were not so easy to deal with. The Ninth Prince and the old man were practicing Tai Chi: "Her father's surname is Feng, if not Feng, what is her surname?"
"Where is her mother? What's her last name?" The old man was unwilling to give up and continued to ask.
The Ninth Prince did not hide it: "My surname is Lu, my maiden name is Yimo, and I am a descendant of the pirate Lu family." If the people from the Killer Alliance want to investigate this information, they will find it quickly. There is no point in hiding it.
"The mother is a descendant of the Lu family, then what about her father? Whose descendant is he? The surname Feng is very rare." The old man narrowed his eyes slightly, and a gleam of light appeared in his eyes.
The surname Feng made the old man more certain of his guess.
Of course, the premise is that the unique and familiar aura on Feng Qingchen led him to think in that direction.
"I don't know. General Feng Zhan is said to be an orphan and no one can find out his background." This is true, otherwise Feng Zhan would not have died in vain and no one from the tribe would have spoken up for him, leaving Feng Qingchen an orphan with no one from the tribe to take care of her.
"Really?" The old man obviously didn't believe it, but the Ninth Prince was not afraid and just said, "If you don't believe it, you can go check it out. I just don't know what you mean by asking so many questions."
The old man asked a series of questions and kept mentioning the surname Feng. The Ninth Prince also vaguely guessed what was going on. However, it was hard to say whether the other party was a friend or an enemy. Some things could not be revealed too early, otherwise Feng Qingchen would be in trouble.
"Don't worry, if I wanted to kill her, I would have done it a long time ago." The old man glanced at Feng Qingchen who was not far away, and became more and more certain.
He would not mistake that unique aura, but...
Can this man in front of me be trusted?
The old man couldn't be sure, he just felt that the Ninth Prince was too dangerous, and even he didn't dare to confront him.
So, the old man silently withdrew his gaze and stopped asking questions.
If it was really the young master who showed up, then... he must not reveal the young master's identity easily, so as not to bring trouble to the young master!
Thinking of this, the old man couldn't help but get excited, and his heart, which had been calm for many years, began to beat wildly...
The Ninth Prince frowned and stopped talking as well. His guard against the old man increased instead of decreased.
The Fengli clan also has enemies, and among these enemies, there are also people who are familiar with Fengli’s legitimate daughter. He cannot let Feng Qingchen take risks!
