Chapter 345 A Big Tiger
Gu Liyue quickly said to Nie Hengzhou, "The martial arts of these guards are average. The real strength lies in the secret guards. I can't even defeat them. If we can break through, we should escape. If we wait for the secret guards to arrive, we might not be able to escape."
Nie Hengzhou nodded.
The two were surrounded by a team of guards.
Gu Liyue and Nie Hengzhou each held a long sword.
The two men were agile and swung their swords at the guards with great force. Even though the guards outnumbered them, they could not withstand their attacks and gradually fell down.
Gu Liyue was still thinking in her heart: I have never practiced with this knife before, and I am not familiar with the knife skills, so I always feel that something is missing.
Seeing that a team of guards were knocked down in less than a quarter of an hour, the two men flew away quickly.
Nie Hengzhou said to Gu Liyue, "Follow me. I've been around this villa before and I know where to get out."
Gu Liyue thought to herself that it seemed that besides being with the eldest princess, he was also very busy.
Said at ease: "Okay."
The two men tried their best not to alert the patrolling guards in the villa along the way. After knocking out a guard at a side door of the villa, they left the villa.
Since Gu Liyue entered the villa in the morning, she knew that the villa was built at the foot of the mountain.
After leaving the villa, Gu Liyue found that the trees here were not as tall as when they first arrived. She looked towards the middle of the mountain but did not see any tall trees. It seemed that they had entered another place.
"This place is different from where we first stayed!"
Nie Hengzhou looked around and said, "Yeah, the trees here aren't that big."
At this time, the sky began to darken. In the whole day, they only ate one spiritual fruit and half a bowl of spiritual spring water each. Now, they all felt hungry.
Gu Liyue asked, "Tell me, what did you do with the princess? It wasn't even a quarter of an hour."
Nie Hengzhou's face froze, and he frowned slightly before slowly recounting the scene: "I was taken to her bedroom..."
He told Gu Liyue everything that had happened, carefully watching her face. He found that she was not angry, but he did not dare to let go of his anxious heart and looked at her pitifully.
Who knew that Gu Liyue would calmly say, "Have you seen her? She has a nice figure, right?"
Nie Hengzhou's face turned pale as he nervously explained, "No, I heard the sound of water and knew she was bathing. When I noticed her coming in, I didn't dare look. I just glanced at her out of the corner of my eye and saw that she was wearing a thin gauze. I didn't see anything else. I was prepared, believe me."
As he said this, he held Gu Liyue's hand with his left hand.
Seeing his nervous look, Gu Liyue burst out laughing: "You don't have to be nervous, I'm just curious about her figure. I also know you didn't mean 'less than a quarter of an hour'. So nothing happened between you and the princess?"
Nie Hengzhou nodded. He was annoyed when others talked about "less than a quarter of an hour", but in front of Gu Liyue he just wanted to explain it clearly.
Seeing that she didn't seem to be joking, Nie Hengzhou felt relieved and continued to explain, "Actually, I don't know how long it will take. After all, I haven't tried it before. I wonder if you are willing to accompany me to try it."
As he spoke, he looked at Gu Liyue steadily. Gu Liyue's face flushed red. Seeing the deep affection in his eyes, she couldn't help but want to avoid his gaze.
I heard Nie Hengzhou say again: "I only want to do this with you...after we become Taoist companions. When will we become Taoist companions?"
She raised her eyes to meet his: "The problem we are facing has not been solved yet, and we don't know how to return to Cangwu Realm."
Nie Hengzhou said: "Yue, I just want to be with you forever."
Gu Liyue looked at him, took out two spiritual fruits, and handed one to Nie Hengzhou: "Eat something for now. We need to leave this forest quickly. It may not be safe in the forest at night."
Nie Hengzhou hadn't yet put himself into the mindset of a mortal, so when he heard her say that, he felt it made sense.
At this time, he also felt hungry, so he took the spiritual fruit and started eating.
The two men ate as they walked out of the forest. Seeing two roads in front of them, Nie Hengzhou hesitated, not knowing which one to take.
Gu Liyue looked carefully and decided to take the bigger road. In ancient times, there were relatively more people walking on the bigger road. Besides, it was not safe to walk on the smaller road at night.
"Let's take the main road."
Nie Hengzhou nodded, and the two chatted as they walked.
"I don't know what the situation will be like once we get to the city." Nie Hengzhou said with a little concern.
"We have to hurry, otherwise the city gates will be closed at night and we won't be able to enter the city."
"But even if we can get into the city, we have no money and don't know where to stay. We are also worried about large wild animals outside the city, which is not safe."
Gu Liyue said, "Let's talk about it after we enter the city."
She thought about the last time she entered Sang Lin’s small world and she had run out of money.
I seem to have some copper coins left. I used one ounce of silver to pay the rent last time, and I still have 950 coins left. I wonder if this place can be used.
Nie Hengzhou said worriedly, "Now that we've become mortals, we need money everywhere in the city. What can we do if we don't have it? It's better to stay in the suburbs. With our skills, we can also hunt and earn some money."
Gu Liyue thought about it and was really not sure whether the copper coin would be useful here. If it didn't work, they would be penniless.
"You're right. Let's find a place to rest first, go hunting, and then go into the city tomorrow. But we'd better go a long way. We don't know if the princess will send someone to capture us."
Nie Hengzhou originally thought that he still had some magic tools to disguise himself, but then he remembered that they could no longer use spiritual power, so the magic tools would be useless.
They walked across the main road and headed towards a mountain on the other side, both of them holding knives in their hands. Fortunately, it was dark and there were no people around, otherwise people would think they were robbing.
The knife didn't come with a scabbard, so it had to be held in the hand, which was a hassle because there was no storage space.
She didn't want to expose the space, nor was she afraid that Nie Hengzhou would know.
She was worried that Sang Lin would find out, and she didn't know if Sang Lin was watching them from some corner with his divine eyes. After all, this was something that could save their lives. If the enemy knew about it and was on guard, they would lose the initiative.
The two men walked halfway up the mountain, intending to find a big tree to spend the night under, but unexpectedly, they heard a low tiger roar. What they feared came true.
The two men immediately became alert, each holding a knife and standing back to back.
After a while, a gust of wind blew, rustling the surrounding leaves.
The moon tonight is not bright and is hidden in the clouds from time to time. If they were not all monks with stronger five senses than ordinary people, they would be blind in this place.
Gu Liyue pointed in the direction of the mountain and said, "There."
Nie Hengzhou looked over and saw a big tiger looking at them with sharp eyes and slowly walking towards them.
