Mu Zhuoshi wanted to get to the capital as soon as possible, but there were people who had different thoughts compared to him.
That night, the army rested in the forest for the night. Although the army doctor accompanying them had already prepared medicine for everyone to eat, they still needed to slowly recover.
Early morning of the second day, Mu Zhuoshi had already woken up to let everyone hurry on their way.
"Big Brother Zhuo Zhi, you haven't even recovered yet. Why don't you cultivate for another day or two? Otherwise, I'll worry about you …" Yuchi Min worriedly looked at the numerous wounds on his body. Although it was wrapped in gauze, the large amount of blood that came out was still shocking.
"The surprise attack didn't succeed yesterday. They must be unwilling. It's better for them to leave this place as soon as possible." Liang Yue said as she placed the neatly packed bags on the horse.
"Yes, Liang Yue understands my heart." Mu Zhuoshi couldn't help but praise him.
Liang Yue looked at Mu Zhuoshi and smiled lightly.
When Yuchi Min saw the expressions of the two, jealousy arose in her heart. She immediately charged over and separated the two of them: "That's right, that's right, let's go quickly."
However, with how many subordinates Mu Lingfeng had set up, even though they had been on guard the entire time, they were still annoyed by the various ambushes. The soldiers were injured more and more, and their marching speed was getting slower and slower.
"What should we do? The days in the capital are drawing closer and closer. We are only halfway there." "If this goes on, someone will get a handle on us sooner or later, and we'll provoke the Emperor again." Yuchi Min was extremely worried.
As he was speaking, he saw a large net fall from a tree in the forest.
"Be careful!" Liang Yue exclaimed, she was the first to react and thrusted her sword towards the sky. The net was quickly torn to shreds.
Taking this chance, Mu Zhuoshi and the others immediately grabbed their weapons and joined the battle.
On the other side, Mu Lingfeng was no longer as excited as he was at the beginning when he heard the news that he had failed again. He calmly drank a cup of wine and said, "I will use my wheel tactics slowly and see how long you can last."
The whole team that Mu Zhuoshi was leading was filled with new wounds that had not fully healed yet.
"Liang Yue, are you alright?" Mu Zhuoshi then bandaged her own wound and anxiously walked towards Liang Yue who was hiding in a secluded place.
"Aiya..." Due to the chest injury, Liang Yue was currently facing away from everyone, so she secretly took off her clothes and applied the medicine. Mu Zhuoshi suddenly barged in and saw all of her good figure.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." Mu Zhuoshi anxiously turned around, and anxiously ran far away.
"What's wrong? Are you in a hurry?" When Mu Zhuoshi ran over, he coincidentally bumped into Yuchi Min.
"No, nothing, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, I got a light injury, I'm fine." Yuchi Min casually patted his chest and said.
While the two of them were chatting, Liang Yue had already put on her clothes and walked over.
Mu Zhuoshi thought about what happened just now, and as he looked at Liang Yue, he suddenly became shy. He made a fist and faked a few coughs at the side of his nose to ease the awkwardness.
However, Liang Yue acted as if nothing had happened, and confidently walked to Mu Zhuoshi and said: "Just now …."
"I didn't mean to." Mu Zhuoshi anxiously tried to explain.
"What's not intentional?" Yuchi Min was confused, scratched her head and said.
"I suddenly thought of a problem just now." Afraid that Mu Zhuoshi would leak something, Liang Yue spoke first.
"What?" Mu Zhuoshi turned his head and asked seriously.
"We were being chased all the way here. Someone must have known our path ahead of time and set up a killing formation. They are waiting for us." Liang Yue said bitterly.
"It must be him!" Mu Zhuoshi smashed the big tree beside him.
"Is it Mu Lingfeng?" Yuchi Min had followed them the entire way, so she knew Mu Lingfeng's true appearance.
"I already knew that he was cheating along the way, but there was nothing I could do about it. I still had to hurry, and I even had to quickly burrow into the trap he laid." Mu Zhuoshi said helplessly.
"No. I know a little way, but it's very safe and close. It would save him half of the journey. They would never have thought of this Mu Lingfeng. " Liang Yue said.
"Really?" Yuchi Min was pleasantly surprised.
"Yeah, although this small path is not easy to take and there are many brambles written on it, but I can avoid Mu Lingfeng's sharp edge."
"In that case, let's switch to the small path." Mu Zhuoshi immediately decided.
Very quickly, on a night when the winds were high and pitch black, with the cover of the night, Mu Zhuoshi led his troops towards a small road.
"The sound of a thunderbolt breaking a wine jug came from inside the third prince's mansion.
"Please calm your anger, Third Prince." The butler said while lying flat on the ground.
"What happened?" Xue Shaoli came over and smashed a wine cup beside her feet. She was so scared that she retreated two steps and went to the side to ask the butler.
"What else could happen? It's all because of the crown prince." The butler complained in a low voice.
"What do you mean? Wasn't this all arranged well? We have already set up an ambush along the way. Even if we cannot take his life, we can't let him return to the capital on time. " Xue Shaoli was very clear about these matters.
"Yeah, but last night, there was a sudden news that the crown prince and his men had disappeared without a trace." The butler said mysteriously.
"Disappeared? How could it disappear?" Xue Shaoli was also stunned.
"They must have discovered our ambush and left by a different route." Unknowingly, Mu Lingfeng had walked down, and the two of them were roaring at him.
The two of them were scared out of their wits by this sudden roar. It took them a long time to recover from it.
"Then what should we do now?" This journey was destined to be full of obstacles and obstacles.
Okay, Liang Yue and Mu Zhuoshi tried their best to calm down and ask.
"Find!" "Go and search immediately. Even if you have to flip the floor over, you have to find them." Mu Lingfeng said as he fiercely patted the pillar.
"Yes." The butler took this opportunity to hurry out.
"Third Prince, if Mu Zhuoshi disappears just like that, there's no need for us to do anything. If he did not disappear, he would have to come to the capital eventually … We might as well just wait and see. " Xue Shaoli laughed sinisterly, her eyes full of scheming.
"Yeah, I want to see where he can fly to." Mu Lingfeng warned Xue Shaoli and beamed again.
Sure enough, under Liang Yue's suggestion, after the route was changed, there weren't that many killers on the way. However, the journey was very difficult, and everyone was once again met with many troubles.
However, because the three of them worked together … These difficulties are easily resolved. The few of them, because of their tribulations along the way, had a better relationship with each other. Especially when it came to Liang Yue and Mu Zhuo's knowledge, the two of them seemed to be a little different and their relationship was even stronger.
Once, they had been sweating and bleeding to pacify the northern border. But now, they had experienced a long and arduous journey back to the capital. This life and death experience, the blood and sweat, had firmly tied his door, inseparable.
