Judging from their figures, they are a man and a woman.

Suddenly, one of them screamed, then couldn't hold on any longer and fell to the ground.

"Sixth Prince!"

Shangguan Chang covered the bleeding wound and shook his head in pain.

"I can't do it anymore. You have to leave quickly, otherwise none of us can escape. Go back and bring the news to the fifth brother."

"Don't say such discouraging words. I will definitely send you back to Xiyue safely!"

As he spoke, Mo Ying gritted his teeth, carried him on his back, and continued running forward.

Suddenly, a loud shout came from behind: "There is blood here, they must not have gone far, chase them!"

Hearing this voice, Shangguan Chang lowered his voice and urged Mo Ying.

"Don't worry about me, just go away!"

Mo Ying looked ahead, his eyes became firm, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

She walked quickly forward for dozens of meters and placed Shangguan Chang in a hidden corner.

"Sixth Prince, please hide here. I will lead the pursuers away."

As she spoke, she tore off a piece of cloth from the hem of her clothes and took out a bottle of medicine from her bosom to bandage Shangguan Chang's wound.

Shangguan Chang shook his head, "No, I'm injured. I should stay and buy time."

Mo Ying left behind all the dry food and water bag on his body, his eyes were firm and his tone was unyielding.

"It's because you are injured. If you stay, you will be caught soon. How can you delay time?"

"So, the best way is for me to lead the pursuers away and you take the opportunity to escape."

She pointed in a direction.

"Follow this road and go straight. After crossing the hill ahead, you will be in the territory of Jinyu Country. There are people arranged by the master to meet you there."

Shangguan Chang still disagreed, "But..."

The large torches were getting closer and closer, and Mo Ying growled anxiously.

"Stop dilly-dallying, can you be a bit more manly?!"

"One of you and I must take the witness and the news here to the master. Do you understand?!"

What's more, the master should be more looking forward to seeing the Sixth Prince return safely.

After saying that, she piled the dry grass nearby, carefully erased her tracks, and then ran in the direction of the pursuers.

Shangguan Chang stayed where he was, clutching the dry grass beside him tightly with resentment.

It’s all his fault!

It was his incompetence and arrogance that caused Mo Ying and so many brothers to be implicated! "Quick, there's movement over there, chase them!"

A group of officers and soldiers chased in another direction.

After the officers and soldiers left, Shangguan Chang looked deeply at the direction where Mo Ying left, gritted his teeth and swore silently in his heart.

Mo Ying, don't worry, my fifth brother and I will definitely avenge you and those dead brothers! Then, he packed up his bag and staggered in the direction Mo Ying gave him.

On the other side, Mo Ying did not hold out for long after leading the pursuers away.

After a fight, Mo Ying was knocked to the ground.

Li Wanjing pointed his sword at her, his eyes full of murderous intent and his tone was cold.

"And the other person?"

Mo Ying spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, glared back unwillingly, and looked at him unyieldingly.

"I don't know what you're talking about. I was the only one there from the beginning to the end."

Li Wanjing snorted coldly.

"Hard-mouthed!"

Then he waved to the officers and soldiers around him.

"Take him back and torture him severely!"

Being grabbed by the soldiers and stood up, Mo Ying turned his head to look in one direction, his eyes were slightly red, with a hint of warmth in his eyes, his bloodstained lips moved slightly, and he murmured softly.

"master……"

Then, suddenly, she started laughing.

"I won't say anything!"

"not good!"

Noticing that she was not in a good condition, Li Wanjing quickly stepped forward and tried to remove her jaw, but he was still a step too late.

Mo Ying had already crushed the poison pill between his teeth and died with black blood spitting out of his mouth.

Reaching out his hand and feeling that the man had no breathing or pulse, Li Wanjing kicked the clod of earth beneath his feet in anger.

"Keep searching, that man is injured, he definitely can't get far!"

"yes!"

After everyone agreed, they divided into groups of three or five and spread out to search.

The soldier nodded, "I remember."

Li Wanjing patted his shoulder and said, "That's good. Take us there!"

The soldier led the way in front, and he was followed by seven or eight people.

"General, it's right there."

The soldier pointed in a direction.

Li Wanjing stood there, looked around, then waved his hand for everyone to disperse and investigate.

He stood there with his head down, thinking for a long time, and then walked towards a certain place for more than ten meters.

Another fork in the road.

With the help of moonlight, he carefully observed the two paths in front of him, trying to see if there were any traces of footprints or anything like that.

Suddenly, his eyes darkened and he stared fixedly at a pile of weeds beside one of the paths.

Li Wanjing walked over quickly. As he approached, his nostrils moved slightly and he smelled a faint smell of blood.

He quickly squatted down to check, and sure enough, he found a drop of half-dried blood on a dead branch.

He definitely didn't run far! Li Wanjing turned around and shouted to everyone, "Someone come!"

…

Xiyue, the fifth prince’s residence.

Shangguan Zhi paced back and forth in the study in a distracted manner.

"Hasn't Mo Ying sent back any news yet?"

Mo Zhu shook his head solemnly, "No."

"Master, nothing will happen to Mo Ying and the others, right?"

Shangguan Zhi's face was gloomy, with dark circles under his eyes. Even in his rage, he still looked tired.

He has been feeling uneasy ever since Mo Ying did not send the message back on the appointed day.

He rubbed his forehead with a headache, "Still no news about Lao Liu?"

Speaking of this, Mo Zhu lowered his head.

"I am incompetent. I only found out that the Sixth Prince took people to the Daqi territory. I didn't find out anything else."

Finally, he looked up at the figure sitting behind the desk and spoke hesitantly.

"I always feel that there is a force preventing us from finding out where the Sixth Prince has gone."

Hearing this, Shangguan Zhi suddenly slammed the table and stood up, glaring at him.

"Why didn't you report this earlier?!"

Mo Zhu quickly knelt down and pleaded guilty, "Your Highness, please calm down. I am guilty, please punish me."

"Your Highness."

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

Mo Zhou walked closer and saw Mo Zhu kneeling on the ground as soon as he entered the door.

He subconsciously slowed down his breathing and raised his eyes cautiously, glancing at Shangguan Zhi, who had an angry face.

Reported in a low voice: "Minister Gu sent a message that Miss Jiang will return to the capital tomorrow. I hope Your Highness can seize the opportunity."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Zhi looked annoyed.

"Your Highness understands!"

Seeing that he had not left yet, Shangguan Zhi glanced at him with an impatient tone.

"What else?"

Mo Zhou lowered his head and replied carefully, "Empress Ying sent someone to tell you to come to the palace tomorrow to discuss something important with you."

Hearing this, Shangguan Zhi snorted coldly, "What important matter could she have?!"

"It's all because of the Jiang family!"

When talking about this matter, Shangguan Zhi's brows were filled with annoyance and anger.

Ever since the last marriage went wrong, the emperor has become more and more displeased with him, and the ministers in the court have been changing their attitudes according to the situation.

Even the ministers he had won over earlier began to waver.

My grandfather and mother are now desperate and are trying every possible means!

Could it be possible to change the current situation by marrying into the Jiang family? ! I’m afraid that my father will be even more wary!

Everything was going smoothly with Daoist Master Qin, he just had to wait...

However, he turned his father and the third brother's attention to the matter of marriage.

It seems good too? Thanks for your votes~
