"Master, he's not one of us!" Zhou Zhizhi shouted.

It was true that it wasn't their group. It was another group of black-clothed men. They seemed to have just arrived. Each of them carried bows and arrows on their backs as they shot straight towards Zhao Jing.

Zhao Jing widened his eyes as he saw the ice-cold arrows shooting towards him. The cold light was sharp, like the three foot long blade in the hall of the underworld. She didn't know martial arts, so it was impossible for her to defend against a volley of arrows.

Suddenly, the cold arrow fell in a very strange way, as if it had been brushed away by someone. Zhao Jing's eyes suddenly narrowed. In the darkness, she saw the person standing in the corner. He was slowly withdrawing his hand.

Was it Dongfang Wenming who attacked? He saved her? When had his martial arts ever reached such a level? In fact, this was probably the first time she saw him take action!

The horse screamed, and Jing Luo carried Jing Hong onto the back of the horse. "Hold tight!"

The horse spread its hooves and galloped outside. The ones chasing behind were not only the people from the east, but also the group of men in black that suddenly appeared. Horseshoes were clamoring in the silence of the night. It was as if the sky had been struck by lightning and the peace of the city was shattered.

Jing Hong rode his horse out of the city. When he let go of his cold sword, he saw that the blood had returned to them. The soldiers at the city gates could not stop them at all!

Zhao Jing felt as if he had been tossed like a die in a cup. He felt as if his internal organs were about to pop out of his body. If this carried on, he was really afraid that he would vomit! The insanity on horseback was indeed not something she could endure with her weak body!

After leaving the city, a cold breeze blew past his ears.

The two groups of people behind him were truly in hot pursuit.

Zhao Jing hugged Jing Hong's waist, then turned his head to look at the black-clothed men, as well as those who had fallen behind … An unidentified person in the East! Yet for some reason, her gaze never left the crowd, always searching for his figure on the horse!

In a contest between the two sides, whether it was in the open or in the dark, Fleeing on horseback, they finally arrived at the foot of the mountain. Shifting his body, Jing Hong grabbed Zhao Jing's hand and entered the cave. The terrain here was special, more caves and more rivers.

The cave was intertwined.

The dark river was surging.

The cave was extremely moist. Zhao Jing didn't know which direction to go. This faint mist was completely dark, so he could only rely on his instincts to continue forward.

"This place is where we can settle down. I'm the most familiar with the location, don't worry, young master!" Jing Hong brought her into another cave. "Even if I had my eyes closed, I would still be able to walk out."

Zhao Jing grabbed her hand. "Are you saying that you're very familiar with this place?"

"It's like home." Jing Hong frowned. "What do you mean?"

In the darkness, Zhao Jing chuckled dryly.

In the dark cavern, many forces were hibernating. Footsteps could be heard accompanied by the sound of water. Outside the cave, the horses were still whining and the fire was flickering.

"Young master, who are these two groups?" Jing Hong lowered his voice.

Zhao Jing disappeared into the darkness. No one could see through her expression. Everything was deathly still. After a long while, she took a deep breath, "Is everything ready?"

Jing Hong nodded. "Rest assured Young Master, our people have already been assigned to lead them in. We will be able to meet them here in a while. Young Master, what are you trying to do? "

"Just wait and see!" A thought-provoking smile could be heard in Zhao Jing's voice. "It'll be very lively!"

After waiting for about fifteen minutes, the sound of footsteps came from all directions. Within the empty cavern, everything was thrown into disorder. Flames flickered everywhere, and the bright flames of the torches caused Zhao Jing to narrow his eyes. "We must destroy those torches!"

"That's easy!" Jing Hong stood up and left.

When the two groups of people reached the central empty hall, the torches were suddenly extinguished. In that instant, cold lights flashed and blood splattered. Someone shouted in the darkness, "Kill them!"

Sword lights and sword shadows, he could no longer tell if they were friends or foes. There was only confusion.

In the chaos, the sounds of footsteps could be heard coming from afar.

Zhao Jing straightened his body. "We should leave!"

Jing Hong was overjoyed. "Young master, you have such a good plan!"

The two of them left the familiar mountain road. They avoided the squatting guards at the entrance of the cave at the foot of the mountain. They took a detour to the mountainside and left on foot. In the dead of night, one should not ride his horse to prevent it from alarming them! When he returned to the righteous path, he had already left those people far behind.

Jing Hong heaved a sigh of relief. "The direction to the city is just ahead. Where is the young lord going?"

"No matter which side it is, they will suffer a great loss in this battle. I'm afraid they will hate me for it!" Zhao Jing's eyes darkened. "Jing Hong, give the order for everyone to leave Jiangbei!"

"Jiangbei?" Jing Hong was surprised, "It shouldn't be that serious? Our people are all squatting down. At worst, we can just evacuate the Danzhou City. "

"Dongfang has not made a move yet. You have no way to survive." Zhao Jing pondered over this question for a long time. "It's still too late to leave. Wait until Dongfang Wenming steps out of the shadows. You might not have the chance to leave Jiangbei alive!" "Listen to me!"

"Alright!" Jing Hong nodded. "I'll let everyone cross the river immediately and leave Jiangbei! "But, where is young master going?"

Then, all of a sudden, Jing Hong's body stiffened up in shock. The sound of horses' hooves could be heard coming from afar, as if they were heading for the city gate.

"Where else can we go? Isn't this … "It's time to pick me up!" Zhao Jing frowned slightly. "After this matter, Gongsun really didn't dare to make a move on me." In addition, only if I stay in the open will I be able to buy you time! Remember, be quick! It won't take long, and I won't be able to delay it long! "

The East did not know what to do with her, but Cobb might not!

Jing Hong looked worriedly at Zhao Jing. "But the Palace Lord has instructed us to protect Young Master and escort him back to the capital!"

"If you don't leave now, I won't have a way out!" Zhao Jing pushed her away. "Let's go!"

Jing Hong took two steps back, looked at his subordinates behind him, then shouted with gritted teeth, "Retreat!" He then stuffed something into Zhao Jing's hands and whispered into his ear, "Please take care, Young Noble!"

As the voice faded, Jing Hong quickly left.

The sound of horse hooves could be heard. It was the sound of a magistrate court constable coming to pursue a prisoner on his way out. Zhao Jing shook off the dust on his body and leisurely sat by the side of the road. He leisurely leaned against the tree trunk.

The constable dismounted from his horse and aimed his sword at her: "How dare you escape from the prison!"

Zhao Jing raised his eyebrows. "I'm powerless. Even if Martial Grandmaster Gongsun wanted to kill me, you wouldn't need to give me the name of a jailbreak, right?" This crime is too big, I cannot afford it! "

"You're not dumb?" The constable looked at each other.

Didn't this young man not know how to speak when he was in the court earlier?

"From the beginning to the end, I never said I was a mute! "If the crown prince likes to call me that, I will follow him. Who would have known that even a bunch of fools would think that I am a mute!" Zhao Jing slowly stood up. "Let's go. If we expose our strength even more, we might as well stay in the prison!"

After saying this, Zhao Jing led the way, heading back to the city.

"Chief, this prisoner is really strange!" The subordinate retracted his sword, "Which prisoner ran out of the dungeon and is sitting on the side of the road waiting to return to his cell?"

"What nonsense is this!" The Constable King mounted his horse, "The orders are for you to bring back alive and unharmed. All of you, stay alert. If anything happens to you, be careful of your family's lives! "

"Yes sir!" The servants hurriedly followed.

The dungeon was still warmer. Zhao Jing stretched lazily, and with one glance, he saw the figure on the roof. That person was leaning against the roof with his bamboo hat covering his face. He was leisurely crossing his legs as if he was asleep and didn't react at all to the commotion below.

Zhao Jing's heart thumped in his chest as he tensed up.

Didn't Dongfang Mingming leave the city? So what did he do? Was that Zhou Zhiqian in the cave? Or could it be that this master and his servant had not fallen into her trap, and Dongfang Bu had already expected her to come back?

As he thought of this, the indifferent expression on Zhao Jing's face gradually faded. She had to admit that this so-called brute was actually a scheming, black-hearted person. He could predict her every move and see through all of her little tricks.

But she didn't understand him at all.

The moment the door closed, Zhao Jing sat on the bench, as if he had lost something. In his heart, he was hoping that Dong Fang wouldn't find them. Otherwise … She wanted them to leave Jiangbei without a doubt, she wanted them all to move under the nose of the unidentified people in the east!

If they really did so, it would be equivalent to her personally sending them to the hall of the underworld!

Outside the window, the night was dark.

Within the Lighthouse.

When the first glimmers of light fell in through the window, Chopper grunted and forced his eyes open. Everything in the pavilion was still familiar, but his entire body felt soft, as if he couldn't exert any strength at all.

Leaning weakly on the edge of the bed, Zhong Fu raised his eyes. Even through the window paper, he could feel the warmth of the sun outside. He rubbed his sore brow and tried to remember what had happened last night.

Yesterday, he had intended to deliver food to Little Mute, but considering Little Mute's caution, he had to give it a try first. Only when he was absolutely sure that it was safe would he be able to deliver food to Little Mute! But who would've thought that upon eating a second mouthful, his body would go limp and he would directly lie on the ground.

So what happened next?

There was not the slightest impression in his mind!

Zhong Fu took in a few deep breaths, but he still couldn't muster any strength. His entire body felt soft, as if it were … With a buzzing sound in his head, he suddenly thought of something, "Cartilage Powder?" It was the Cartilage Powder! Bastard! How dare you attack me? "Bastard!"

The door creaked open slowly.

The old procuress and Master Gui carefully brought in the food. When they saw Zhong Fu panting on the edge of the bed, the two of them looked at each other before slowly placing the dishes on the table. He stood in front of the bed with a tense face.

"Crown Prince?" Master Gui shouted in a low voice.

Zhong Fu looked at the two people in front of him coldly, "What did you do to me? You don't want to die, do you? How dare you poison me?! "

"No, no, no, it's not poison, it's just …" Master Gui was at a loss for words.

The old procuress hurriedly said, "Your Highness has misunderstood. Our people misplaced something. The food in the box was not for Your Highness, but for the other girl in the room! The little girl who just arrived didn't know what was good for her, so … She had to get some medicine to calm her down. Who would have thought that the people below would make such a huge mistake right from the start? I hope the prince can forgive me! He was wrong to do it unintentionally! "There's been a mistake!"

Master Gui quickly nodded as well. "Yes, yes, yes. There was a mistake, a mistake!"

He struggled to get up. However, he couldn't muster up any strength. With great difficulty, he propped himself up and laid down weakly once again. With heavy breathing, Zhong Fu's brain became much clearer, "You guys purposely drugged me and then went to deal with Little Mute?" Little Mute! What did you do to Little Mute? "
