Dongfang Haotian pulled Leng Qiyue and ran away. When they were 20 feet away, the two guards who were hugging the robust man glanced behind them. They nodded at each other and then immediately let go of each other and ran away.
Although these mysterious people were impervious to swords and spears, their movements were slow, giving them just enough time to escape.
After they had run for a while, Leng Qiyue could no longer run. She stopped and said, "No, we can't run anymore."
Dongfang Haotian also stopped. He knew that Leng Qiyue couldn't be too tired, so he said, "Take a break. Those people won't immediately chase after us."
When everyone heard this, they sat down to rest. Leng Qiyue asked, "Where did those people come from?"
Dongfang Haotian shook his head to show that he didn't know either. After a moment, he said, "Someone has always been working on drugs in Dongchang. Could it be Dongchang?"
Leng Qiyue thought for a moment and said, "The last time I encountered a mastiff attacking a person, could it be that Dongchang was testing the medicine at that time?"
Dongfang Haotian said, "I know about that. I just don't know who's controlling this East Branch."
Leng Qiyue laughed coldly. "I don't think there's anyone else apart from the empress dowager."
Dongfang Haotian shook his head: "All these years, I've never seen the empress dowager in contact with Dongchang. Even the wise master of Dongchang, Rongzhuan, has never negotiated with the empress dowager. "So I suspect that it's someone else. Besides, Her Majesty won't be able to get in without kung fu. She won't be able to get in at all."
Leng Qiyue was too lazy to argue with him, she seized the opportunity to rest.
"Your majesty, there are many wild dogs over there." The guard in charge of the guard shouted.
When everyone heard this, they all raised their heads and looked. Indeed, there was a black mass of no less than a hundred huge wild dogs dashing towards them.
Leng Qiyue's expression changed as she shouted, "Quickly run! Those are the mastiffs that I've seen! They should be coming for us."
Dongfang Haotian clenched his teeth and carried Leng Qiyue in his arms. He shouted, "Come with me." With that, he used a movement technique and ran down the mountain.
Two of the guards who could not perform lightness techniques ran away slowly, but were overtaken by the mastiffs. Immediately, the dogs died a miserable death. When the mastiffs saw that their prey was dead, they continued their pursuit.
Leng Qiyue said, "This won't do. There are too many of them, so we must find a place to block them. We might as well return to the manor where we stayed last night to temporarily hide."
Dongfang Haotian nodded and said: "Good. Go back to the villa where you rested last night."
They had traveled for eight hours in the morning, and in less than four hours, they had returned. They did not knock on the door and climbed over the wall.
Elder Deng walked out from inside and looked at the flustered crowd and asked in shock, "What's wrong with you guys? But he met a bandit? "Rest assured, my young master is back. He is very capable, he will definitely help you all get justice."
Dongfang Haotian put down Leng Qiyue, cupped his fists, and said, "Thank you, sir. It's just that the ones chasing us are a bunch of crazy wild dogs, not bandits."
Elder Deng frowned and said, "How is that possible?" There are no wild dogs in this mountain? " He actually pulled open the door, and after one glance, he immediately closed it and said, "It's really wild dogs, how could there suddenly be so many wild dogs?"
Elder Deng closed the door and said to the gatekeeper, "Watch the door. Don't let those wild dogs in. Get them some mixed meat and throw it out. A lot of wild dogs are a disaster."
"Yes, Manager Zheng." The gatekeeper agreed.
Manager Zheng turned around and said to Dongfang Haotian: "Please come to the front hall for a moment. This old and useless one will go and invite Young Master over right now."
Dongfang Haotian and Leng Qiyue sat down in the front hall. The maid served some fragrant tea and then left.
Leng Qiyue thought in her heart: "What would the young master of this villa look like?" And who would build a village in such a wilderness? From what I see, he is either a felon from the imperial court or a spy from another country. Who knows? Maybe everything that happened today is related to him.
As Leng Qiyue thought of this, she exchanged a glance with Dongfang Haotian. He nodded his head slightly, his eyes filled with caution.
Chief Steward Zheng returned after a cup of tea, but the young master he spoke of was nowhere to be seen.
"I'm sorry, but my Young Master is currently bathing and changing his clothes. I have already instructed the servants to prepare some food and wine. Manager Zheng's words flickered. Could it be that there really was a problem with his young master? Otherwise, how could he refuse to entertain guests?
Dongfang Haotian politely said, "Thank you, Manager Zheng."
Manager Zheng retreated with a smile. Leng Qiyue said, "We should be more careful. Last night, we rested here for the night, but today we've met with some strange happenings. I'm afraid it has something to do with this villa."
Dongfang Haotian nodded and said: "We should be careful. We don't know what kind of person his young master is, or whether he has anything to do with this or not. Let's just wait and see. After all, this place can block the attacks of those mastiffs. "
Leng Qiyue nodded and rubbed her stomach. Fortunately, he was very obedient, and after all this torment, he was still fine.
There were more than 20 guards outside the door, and about a quarter of the experts that were brought out had been killed. There were so many mastiff warriors outside, and so many iron-walled weirdos. They probably wouldn't be able to safely break out of the encirclement. At present, they didn't even know if the owner of the villa was an enemy or friend. If they were enemies too, then their situation would be very bad and if they messed up, they might even be completely annihilated.
Dongfang Haotian's complexion didn't look too good. His heart began to rapidly churn. He wasn't afraid of death, but was instead afraid of Leng Qiyue being injured. Rivers and mountains, and beauties. He would rather choose beauties, not because he wanted to faint a monarch, but because he understood the principle that one cannot have both the fish and the bear's paw. If he had to choose between right and wrong, he would rather give up on this great opportunity.
Leng Qiyue naturally didn't understand the importance she held in Dongfang Haotian's heart. At this moment, her thoughts were completely different from Dongfang Haotian's. She was thinking about who was the mastermind behind this incident and what was their motive. If the goal was to kill them, then why create a manor?
Could it be that all of this was done by the owner of this villa in order to repay this kindness? But if so, what would he ask for in return? The person who made this thing probably wouldn't ask for money. How could he make this thing without money? Then what about asking for authority? Aren't you afraid that in the future, Dongfang Haotian would turn hostile and chop off his head?
"What are you thinking?" Dongfang Haotian suddenly interrupted Leng Qiyue's train of thoughts.
Leng Qiyue frowned and said, "I'm thinking about the mastermind behind this matter."
Dong Fang Haotian suddenly smiled and said, "Forget it, there is no need to waste your time anymore. What should come will eventually come. It's better to wait for the truth than to let your imagination run wild. Just be careful. "
Leng Qiyue nodded and said nothing.
Manager Zheng walked in and smiled. "The two of you, the banquet has been prepared. Young Master invites the two of you over."
Dongfang Haotian stretched out his hand to help Leng Qiyue up, and they followed Manager Zheng into the dining hall. The arrangement here was very standard. The living room was one room, the dining room was one room, and the living room was all at the back of these two rooms.
