C106

The carriage began to sway. They had probably reached a difficult section of the road. The carriage's curtains were tightly shut, but Yun Sheng could sense that the carriage was moving uphill. Could it be heading up the mountain? Unfortunately, she couldn't look outside. She carefully held her stomach, constantly sizing up the two masked women, but they were still sitting still like wooden puppets, not feeling tired at all?

She never expected that someone would be so daring as to come to the Duke's Mansion to rob her in broad daylight. After her nervousness and panic, she had calmed down a lot. As she recalled the entire process, she felt somewhat suspicious.

She lived in the center of the city and it was rather difficult for outsiders to enter, but there was only a wall separating the West Wind Academy from the outside. The grey-clothed people arrived so quickly, and the time they had arrived so precisely, she had only just arrived at the West Wind Academy, and she hadn't even seen the children before they had entered. Was it just a coincidence?

She originally did not want to suspect Chen Ju`er, but last time, it was precisely because of her that something had happened. This time, she also did not plan to go to the West Wind Academy, but instead was pulled over by her. It was a pity that when the robbers arrived, she could only protect her stomach and did not have the time to look at Chen Jue`er's expression.

At that time, quite a few gray-clad men suddenly jumped over the wall. Their movements were very nimble, it was obvious that they were all experts, and the Black Armored Army guards originally had people following them, but they were a bunch of women strolling around the garden, so the guards could only follow them from behind. When the grey-clothed person came over, Chen Jue`er seemed to have let go of her hand, and then was pushed away by the grey-clothed person. Then, she was strangled by someone, and because she was afraid that someone would touch her stomach, she protected her with all her might, because she could only hear the screams of Cui'er and the Senior Servants, because she was suddenly persuaded by Chen Ju`er to go to the West Wind Courtyard. At that time, Lan'er had entered the house to retrieve her things.

However, Lan'er was not around, and no one else knew any martial arts. Although she knew a bit, she couldn't move her big stomach, so she was restrained as soon as she was caught. With the threat of the sword, how could the guards dare to move?

Murong Yu should have already chased her from the palace by now, so he must be extremely worried. Normally, when she walked a little faster, he would be extremely worried, but now that he was captured by the thieves, he must be angry and afraid. Just where did these people come from?

Judging from their actions when they took her away, she wasn't that rude, so what was the use of her? Should he use her to threaten Murong Yu? Or was it Yu Yu they were trying to harm? Thinking of the crown prince's assassination, Yun Shengyue suddenly felt afraid. If their goal was truly Murong Yu, then using her and her child to restrain him would be the most vicious and useful.

The crown prince did not know martial arts, so he could just directly assassinate him. Murong Yu was a martial arts expert and had been on the battlefield, so most martial artists were helpless against him. Hence, she had become his weakness.

If Murong Yu was hurt or murdered by these people because of her, what would happen to her and her child? After worrying for a while, she suddenly thought that if these people killed Mu Rong Yu, they definitely wouldn't let her and her child get away, so it was fine that they died together.

But after some thought, if he couldn't escape, then she hoped that he wouldn't lose his life because of her. It wasn't worth it for them to die together. If something happened to her, she still hoped that he would live well …

"Your highness, they've ascended the Azure Dragon Mountain." The scout reported back quickly.

Murong Hui viciously waved his sword and the innocent tree next to him was immediately split into two. He put his sword back into its scabbard, jumped onto the horse, and said, "Return to the Azure Dragon Mountain."

By the time he left the palace, he had already fallen into the hands of the robbers. With his men following behind him in the dark, he realized that they were retreating westward along the official road, so they would definitely pass the West River. This river was the same as the Wei River, the largest and longest river in Beheng, with the Wei River separating it from the northwest.

If they wanted to escape from Jincheng and take this direction, they would have to pass through the West River, so he took a detour ahead and arranged for everything to be delivered to their doorstep. But what they didn't expect was that when they were about to reach the West River, they would turn right and head up the Green Dragon Mountain next to the West River.

Going up the mountain was not good for them, but the possibility of them escaping through the west river was higher. This place was not far from Jincheng City, and the two hundred thousand soldiers that were stationed in the imperial city was only twenty miles away. It was not too far away, if they could summon them, they could even encircle Qing Long Mountain, so why did they choose to go up the mountain? Could it be that he was certain that Yunsheng was an invincible and useful shield? Murong Chong was also somewhat confused, but he knew that no matter what, he had to go save Yun Shengyue.

He led his men to the foot of the Green Dragon Mountain and bumped into Murong Yu, who was flying over. Murong Yu gave him a puzzled look but didn't say anything and hastily went up the mountain.

Halfway up the mountain, he discovered the abandoned carriages and the scattered horses, and the horses that were going up the mountain were indeed unpassable. Murong Yu dismounted from his horse, and rushed to the top of the mountain in a hurry along the only mountain path. With such a dense forest and Yue'er's huge stomach, he was so anxious that he wanted to see her as soon as possible.

The sky was overcast. It was early summer when the dark clouds had quietly gathered. The trees were flourishing and the sounds of the insects and birds didn't stop just because of these hurrying pedestrians. It was as noisy as a temporarily formed troupe.

Murong Fu also used his Qing Gong to follow closely behind Murong Yu. The guards were also only a step behind.

"What are you doing here?" Murong Yu didn't hold back and had a lot of questions in his mind. However, he didn't have the time to ask and could only go straight to the point.

"Yue Er has been robbed. Naturally, I will come!"

"Yue Er's matter is a matter of my Mansion, what does it have to do with you!"

"I watched Yue Er grow up. You can't protect her, I can protect her!"

"You!" Murong Yu fumed. Did his wangfei need the protection of another man? If it was a normal day, he would ruthlessly fight with Mu Rong Ming. But now was not the time. He said coldly, "I only hope this matter has nothing to do with you!"

These were some probing words. Mu Rong Ming was so quick to arrive, was it just because he heard the news?

"Of course it has nothing to do with me. Do you think I would bring Yue Er to this damned place before she gives birth? "Although I am unwilling to let Yue Er follow you, I will not use such a despicable method!" Don't even mention pulling away the branches in anger. How can Yue'er walk on such a rugged mountain path filled with dense jungle?

However, it was not as difficult as they had imagined. The robbers appeared to be very thoughtful as they carried her on a light pole with brocade covering her body and other people in front to clear the way. The duo's lightness was not bad, so they were able to carry her quickly to the top of the mountain in an hour without taking a breather or taking a breather, which did not affect their journey in the slightest.

On the other side was a precipitous cliff that was as sharp as a knife. Because the weather was not good, the air was too humid, and the mountain was shrouded in clouds and mist. One could only feel that it was extremely deep and steep.

Yun Sheng was placed at the edge of the cliff. However, a woman with a huge belly did not bind or seal her acupoints. She felt dizzy just by sneaking a glance at the bottom of the cliff before she hurriedly sat down on a rock beside her.

Other than the dozen or so people who had captured her, there were already more than twenty people on the mountaintop. There were also a few archers lying in ambush on the mountaintop. The person in the lead was dressed in white and wore a mask.

Yun Sheng looked at him carefully, but he could not tell who they were. He then looked around at the surrounding terrain. It was obvious that the reason why these people were waiting was to lure Murong Yu up. It looked like today would be a disaster.

Mu Rong Ming and Mu Rong Yu were walking and walking while being conflicted. In order to get to the road, the two of them would frequently bump into each other.

"Yue'er, I will save you. It has nothing to do with you! Hurry up and get out of the way!" Murong Yu was furious. This mountain road was originally a narrow path, and the two of them couldn't walk side by side. They could only walk in front and back.

Mu Rong Zhen said with a cold smile, "We'll each rely on our own abilities. Yue Er had already been saved by me. If I hadn't saved her that year, you wouldn't even be able to see her now."

Murong Yu was very clear about this matter, so he didn't argue and simply focused on moving forward. The higher he went, the steeper it got, and he didn't know what was going on at the top of the mountain. He had never been controlled by anyone like this before, so he wasn't sure if he could save Yue Er and her son.

As they hurried forward, they didn't need much time to walk out of the forest. The cool wind at the top of the mountain lessened the scorching heat in Murong Yu's heart. He jumped over a strange stone road that was full of different shapes and sizes, and just as he got to the top, he was met with a rain of arrows.

Naturally, this wouldn't stop Murong Yu, Murong Hui, and the guards, but the other side only greeted them with greetings. When everyone started to be cautious and prepared, there were no other attacks.

Both Mu Rong Yu and Mu Rong Ming were wearing black today. Due to the Seventh Sacrifice, they had brought quite a few people with them. However, they couldn't make it to the top of the mountain, so they fanned out behind them.

"Pa Pa Pa!" Sure enough, there was no mistake in suppressing a treasure. I never would have thought that this woman was actually so important. She attracted two princes at the same time, saving quite a bit of trouble. " The man in white jumped down from the boulder, clapping his hands as he spoke.

"Cut the crap! Quickly hand over this king's wife and This King will spare your life!" Murong Yu took a few more steps forward, and the men beside the man in white immediately raised their bows and arrows.

"The Duke of Qin's prestige is really great! "It's a pity that I don't like this method!" The man in white sneered as he looked at Murong Yu before taking two steps forward, "Since the two princes are here, I've suddenly thought of a good idea."

"Speak quickly if you have something to say!" Where is Yue Er? " Murong Mingyue had been blocked by a human wall, and they were unable to see it for a while.

The man in white clapped his hands again. Only then did the row of grey robes split apart to stand by the side. Yun Shengyue had already heard their voices. She did not expect that Murong Yu and Murong Ming would come up at the same time.

"Yue Er, are you alright?" Murong Yu wanted to rush over when he saw Yun Shengyue. He immediately shot a few arrows at his feet. He halted his steps and angrily asked, "What do you want?!"

"Well, I originally wanted to discuss some conditions with you, but I didn't expect that Duke Ming would come as well. This made me think of a fun game at the last moment." Although the man in white wore a mask, his facial expression could not be seen, but there was a trace of pride in his tone.

"It seems that the two of you are very anxious for this woman. If I were to request her life in exchange, who would be willing?"

"You!" Murong Ming was also infuriated by his tone, "Who the hell are you? What is your goal?! "

The white clothed person waved his sleeve, and said indifferently: "Who am I? What is my goal, has it anything to do with you, Duke Ming? If you want to get involved in this mess, it has nothing to do with me! If you want to play this game, you can play it. If you don't want to, you can play it! "

"As long as you let her go, I can give you whatever you want!" Murong Yu wasn't willing to listen to their arguments. He would only glance at Yun Shengyue from time to time. The wind by the cliff seemed to be stronger. Her clothes fluttered in the wind and her black hair had already been scattered quite a bit.

Upon hearing this, Yun Cangyue stood up and shouted, "Don't worry about me. These people have ill intentions and they can't believe what they say. I forbid you to trade your life for mine!"

"Don't say anything, hurry up and sit down!" Murong Yu was even more worried as he looked at her body trembling slightly in the wind. However, this distance wasn't that far, and it might not be close at all. She still had so many grey-clothed people by her side.

"Anything I want?" The man in white smiled. He suddenly pointed at Mu Rong Zhen and asked, word for word, "What if I want you to kill him?"

"What did you say!" He looked at Murong Yu with a vigilant gaze as he started to wonder if this was a trap set up by Murong Yu himself.

However, Murong Yu immediately dispelled his doubts. He said coldly, "This is my family matter and has nothing to do with Duke Ming. You don't have to include him in this!"

"Haha, I didn't expect the Duke of Qin to have feelings for Brother Gu." The man in white didn't think much of it. He turned to Murong Chong and said, "Your Highness Duke Ming, I heard that you also like that woman a lot. If I asked you to kill the Duke of Qin and then give that woman to you, what do you think?"

"What are you talking about? You want to instigate us brothers and let us kill each other so that you can profit from it? " Murong Yu wasn't stupid. If he carefully thought about it, he didn't think that Mu Rong Yu would use Yue Er to deal with him.

The man in white said, "If both of you are not willing, then this woman is of no value at all. The two of you don't mind me sending her down the mountain. Of course, it's the shortest way!"

"How dare you!" Murong Yu drew his longsword and pointed it at him as he said, "If you dare to do this, I will definitely not let any of you leave the mountain alive!"

"Haha!" So what? Your Highness, you have to think this through. Even if we were to be buried together with you, the wangfei and the crown prince won't be able to survive! " The man in white was not afraid at all. He looked confident and carefree.

"You! Do you have any other conditions other than killing yourself? No matter what condition it is, we will agree to it! " Murong Mingdeng was extremely anxious as he watched Yun Shengyue sitting on the edge of the cliff.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the dark clouds were rolling violently like wild beasts on their deathbed. It was likely that rain was going to fall soon. The man in white raised his head to look at the sky, not in a hurry.

Both of their martial arts were already amongst the top experts, and the people they brought along far exceeded his expectations. He had thought that because of Murong Yu's impatience, he wouldn't bring too many people with him, but in reality, Murong Yu had only brought around twenty people with him, but he had brought around fifty people with him. If this was the case, killing the two of them would be very difficult.

If he killed the two of them and used Yun Sheng as a hostage, it would probably be of no use. Then, it was best to let them kill each other. If their masters killed each other, the guards would also be in chaos. However, seeing the situation between the two, they did not want to risk their lives.

"Are you two still unwilling to play the game I proposed? "Then I'll have to give you two a present!" After saying that, the man in white charged towards the gray-clothed man beside Yun Sheng and ordered coldly, "Cut off her hair!"

When the grey-clothed person heard the order, he immediately brandished his sword. A strand of the long hair on Yun Shengyue's left shoulder was immediately cut off.

"Stop!" Yun Shengyue was still calm as she sat there obediently without moving. However, Murong Yu was screaming in anxiety.

"What is it? Would His Majesty the Duke be willing to consider my request? Actually, you can choose to either kill yourself or kill him!

Murong Yu turned his head to look at Mu Rong Yu, who was feeling a bit scared from his sharp gaze. He said anxiously, "You don't really have to listen to him!"

"No!" Yu, don't worry about me, these people are here for no good, you can't save me, join hands with Duke Ming and catch these people, you see they are also wearing grey, maybe Royal Brother is hurt by this group of people! " She didn't want any of them to die because of her. Furthermore, looking at the situation in front of her, even if she had listened to those people's requests, she probably wouldn't have been able to save her.

Murong Yu looked at Yun Shengyue with a pained expression. He was also clear on the pros and cons of this. However, how could he just watch her die in front of him!?

"Did you really kill the crown prince?" Murong Ming could not help but ask.

The white clothed person became a little impatient and said to Murong Yu, "Cut the crap! Do you want to fulfill my request or not? Stop delaying me for a while, if you continue delaying me, then what's missing from her body will not be her hair! "

"I will agree to your conditions and use my life in exchange. However, you must first let Yue Er and Duke Ming down the mountain!" Murong Yu made up his mind.
