A man wearing a black robe with a black scarf on his face appeared in their line of sight.

His speed was as fast as a shadow as he charged into the fighting circle, knocking the assassins aside, at the same time he struck towards Xiao Jingyue.

Taking advantage of when Xiao Jingyue was retreating, he immediately grabbed Qu Ling on the horse and galloped away.

Everything happened in an instant.

His speed was so fast that he didn't even have time to react.

"Ah Ling!"

Xiao Jingyue's face was ashen, he wanted to follow up, but the four Death Soldiers who had regained their senses immediately pounced at him, blocking his path without mercy.

But General Xiao, who no longer had any reservations, would not allow them to provoke him again and again.

Anger raged in his heart as he looked at these Death Soldiers with scarlet eyes …

Qu Ling who was forced onto the horse nearly vomited the food he ate last night, feeling extremely uncomfortable all over his body.

The black clothed man galloped for a long time. When he arrived at a desolate place, he pulled on the reins forcefully and stopped the horse.

He jumped off the horse and carried Qu Ling, who had almost fainted from the shock, down from the water bottle on his waist and brought it to her mouth.

Qu Ling did not immediately drink it. He held his stomach and rested for a moment, until he felt that he was better, then reached out to grab the water canteen, raised his head and poured the water into his mouth.

Seeing that, the man in black's eyes became playful, "Mrs. Xiao is not afraid that I would poison the water?"

Qu Ling finished the last drop of water, put down the water bottle, and unhappily rolled his eyes. "If you want to kill me, why did you bring me so far away?"

The black clothed man squinted his long and narrow phoenix eyes. His slightly cold fingertip lightly brushed past her white and tender face, and said with an extremely ambiguous tone: "Mrs. Xiao being born so beautiful, how unfortunate for it to die from poison. If it wasn't for a night of debauchery, my life wouldn't have been lived in vain."

Qu Ling was so angry that he grabbed his water bottle and smashed it on's head, and said angrily: "Chu Yu, you have guts, aren't you!"

Being called out by his name did not surprise the black-clothed man. Instead, he started to smile in a very happy manner.

While he was dodging, the black mask on his face slipped and revealed a face that was so beautiful that it was hard to distinguish between a male and a female.

This man was Chu Yu, who had suddenly disappeared from the General Mansion.

Chu Yu moved his exquisite and beautiful face closer to Qu Ling, slightly bent his eyes, and asked with a smile: "How did Ah Ling know it was me?"

Qu Ling's index finger poked at his chest, gently pushing it away, and said: "With your seductive strength, I can smell it even from ten meters away, other than you, there's no one else."

Then she threw away the kettle, rushed forward, seized him by the collar, and cried: "Speak! Was that night's show a self-directed act or did someone really kidnap you? Where have you been when you left? Why did it appear here? Why did you kidnap me? "

Both she and Murong Yan knew that Yue Yang had the ability to disguise his voice, hence when the guards on duty heard the voices of the men and women, their first reaction was that he was acting on his own, planning to escape from the prison.

However, the guard said that the person who tried to break into the prison was a man who only entered after hearing the conversation between a male and a female inside the dungeon. In that case, it would not be as simple as Chu Yu wanting to leave by himself.

A few consecutive questions were thrown over, causing Chu Yu's head to spin.

He quickly raised his hand to stop them, "Slow down, slow down, one at a time."

Qu Ling released him, "Sure, speak."

It was impossible to not be shocked to see Chu Yu here, but because Chu Yu was someone that Murong Yan trusted, she did not want to make wild guesses at him with malice.

Even though this man had indeed just committed a heinous crime.

Not only did he injure Xiao Jingyue, he even dragged her onto a horse's back to let her suffer hardships.

"I really wanted to escape that night. Who told you not to come and save her …" Being stared at by Qu Ling, Chu Yu coughed lightly. He immediately changed his tone and said, "I had originally intended to play an important role and lure the guards over, so that I could snatch the key to escape. Every part of life is full of surprises. "

After Chu Yu finished speaking, he sighed heavily.

That night's sudden change was a pleasant surprise to him.

Qu Ling expressionlessly acknowledged, and indicated for him to continue.

Chu Yu suddenly stopped, his eyes lowered, no one knew what he was thinking.

At a place where Qu Ling couldn't see it, his five fingers were constantly stroking this small porcelain bottle.

"Chu Yu?"

Chu Yu suddenly regained his senses, and quickly kept the bottle back into his sleeves.

After a long while, he raised his eyes and looked at her. With a dark expression, he said in a low voice, "There are some things that I am not at liberty to tell you at the moment." You only need to know that I won't harm you … it won't hurt Murong. "

Qu Ling frowned, he was about to ask something else, but Chu Yu suddenly stood up, picked up the black cloth and put it on, then jumped onto his horse.

"If possible, you'd better leave the Miao Boundary and return to Zhai Jing as soon as possible." He paused, "Also, when you go back, help me inform Murong and just say … I'm sorry, I broke my promise. "

Qu Ling sensed something and asked in a muffled voice, "Are you not going to return to the South Wind House anymore?"

"No reply. Without me, my South Wind House will be very good as well. " He paused for a moment, then suddenly squinted his eyes and laughed: "Ah Ling, the way you look when you wear the wedding dress, it's really beautiful."

Finishing his words, without waiting for Qu Ling to speak, he galloped his horse and left without hesitation, leaving her with a view of his back.

Looking at the figure that was quickly leaving, she subconsciously wanted to chase after him, but her waist suddenly tightened and she fell into a familiar embrace.

She stared blankly for a moment, but didn't take another step forward.

The bright moon suddenly hid behind the clouds and silently took away the last sliver of light from the lush forest. It was so dark that one could barely see one's own fingers.

The unique fragrance of the person behind him drifted over, accompanied by a dense stench of blood, Qu Ling was stunned, he turned his head to look at him, "You're injured again?"

"They are all small wounds, no problem." Xiao Jingyue released her gently, frowned and looked at the direction that Chu Yu left in, then asked softly: "Who was that man in black just now?"

Qu Ling did not dare to say that he was the Chu Yu who had escaped from his residence, and only said: "An old acquaintance."

Xiao Jingyue's face sunk, a cold glint quickly flashed past his eyes, and his tone became more cold: "Does Madam know that those old acquaintances of yours and those Death Soldiers from before are a group of people?"

Qu Ling was stunned, a gang?

He was saying that Chu Yu was in cahoots with the people who wanted to kill them in the Chi You Divine Palace?

Almost subconsciously, she retorted, "Impossible!"

Xiao Jingyue's eyes became completely dark and cold.

He stared at her firm little face and thought of how she protected other men. He almost gnashed his teeth and said, "Madam, how can you be so sure that your old acquaintance and those assassins aren't in the same group?"

Pausing for a moment, he narrowed his eyes and said, "I still want to say, Madam, you …"

Hearing his questioning and doubting tone, a nameless rage rose from the bottom of Qu Ling's heart, burning her mind into a muddle, she angrily interrupted him: "You suspect that I'm in cahoots with them?"
