Do you think I'm going to let you leave this place alive?
At this time, outside Zhonghe City, Hundred Herb Slope.
The Hundred Grass Slope was a wasteland, and beside it was a lush forest. Waves of strong gales blew past, constantly tearing apart the wild grass and trees on the ground.
Behind Baili Mingyue, there were about a hundred or so Shezhengwang's Palace's guards. Looking at the large encirclement with over a thousand people, their eyes were deep and cold.
On the other side, the leader was dressed in black and his face was covered. As for the thousand or so people behind him, most of them held bows and arrows in their hands. They were already fully prepared to fire their arrows. As long as they gave the order, they would shoot towards Baili Mingyue and the others.
Wu Hen frowned as he looked at the people surrounding him. He then turned to Baili Mingyue and said, "Master, leave this to your subordinate. You can leave first."
Mo Chen who was behind Baili Mingyue also nodded his head in deep thought, and said: "Master, with your current body, you can't forcefully circulate the True Qi in your body anymore, if not, the situation will become even worse, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on in Jinzhou City." In truth, with Baili Mingyue's exhausted body, he did not approve of Baili Mingyue's bumpy journey to Jinzhou City.
However, Mo Chen was clearer than anyone else about Baili Mingyue's stubbornness. Now, he could only rejoice. On the other hand, the medicine that the master had given tomorrow did not contain any poison, but it had caused him to sleep for three days and three nights. Only then could his master's tired body be considered to have been somewhat relieved.
However, even though it had already eased up, he still tried his best not to circulate his true qi. Otherwise, there would still be a chance of accidents happening.
Hearing this, Baili Mingyue did not say anything. He just wanted to hurry to Jinzhou City and see her. His cold eyes stared at the person in front of him. His clear voice carried a chill as he said, "This King has only said it once. Get out of my way."
"Want to leave?" None of you should even think of leaving! " The masked man in black laughed disdainfully: "I have long heard of Prince Regent of South Qi's martial arts. I have wanted to ask for your advice for a long time. When we meet today, please enlighten me." What he meant was that not a single one of them would be leaving today!
Wu Hen wanted to say something after hearing what she said, but Baili Mingyue had already lost her patience.
Ever since he had met Baili Mingtian that day, he had no idea what kind of knockout drug he had been given. Even though there wasn't any poison, it was enough for him to sleep for three days and three nights before waking up. The moment he woke up, he received news from Jinzhou City that Feng Wuyou was already preparing to marry the wedding dress …
Although he could not think of who that girl was going to marry to, he still wanted to rush over as soon as possible. It would take him at least a day and a night to reach the Jinzhou City from here.
He didn't have much time to begin with.
This group of people were still dragging his feet!
Hearing the words of the person in front of her, Baili Mingyue cast a meaningful glance at the lush forest. Suddenly, another gale formed from inner force swept across the crowd.
Although there were many people in front of him, Baili Mingyue didn't think much of them in terms of martial arts. The tens of people behind him were more than enough to deal with them. On the other hand, in the dense forest, Baili Mingyue could clearly feel two powerful auras. It could be seen that there was definitely a Martial Master hidden within the dense forest.
The group of men in black on the opposite side couldn't help but want to retreat, they only felt the strong wind constantly sliding across their faces, and it was painful to the point of tearing it! A trace of ridicule flashed across Baili Mingyue's jade-like face: "If the master behind this doesn't come out, then you guys can't stop this king. You overestimate yourself!"
When the leader of the men in black heard this, he was stunned for a moment. If it wasn't for the fact that he was covering his face, he would have definitely discovered that his face was pale.
The person who had been hiding in the dense forest all this while timely walked out. Standing at the top of the Hundred Herb Slope, he looked down at Baili Mingyue, who was on horseback, from above with a faint smile that was as warm as jade. He sincerely praised: "As expected of the Prince Regent of South Qi, you don't even need to put in any effort, to know that this duke is still hiding in the shadows."
Hearing this, Baili Mingyue declined to comment. The clear and sonorous voice was filled with chilliness, "Huyan Ruijin, you also have a part in Flowerwood's matters, right? If you insist on making this king your enemy, and obstruct this king from going to Jinzhou City, then don't blame this king for being impolite. " Right now, he just wanted to get to Jinzhou City quickly and settle the rest in the future!
Hearing that, Huyan Ruijin could not help but laughed heartily: "Haha …. If it was in the past, maybe I would not be a match for the Regent, but, if I remember correctly, not many days ago, the General's Ten Thousand Gu Cold Poison had only returned back to normal. Now that the Regent has recovered his internal energy, he should not even be able to get fifty percent of it, right? "
Baili Mingyue coldly snorted, a faint smile of confidence appearing on her jade-like face. With a hint of contempt in her eyes, she said, "Against you, 50% of my inner strength is enough!"
"Is that so?" did not refute Baili Mingyue's scorn, and did not display any displeasure. He muttered to himself for a moment and said: "I believe that with fifty percent of the Regent's internal energy, it would be enough to deal with me.
As soon as Huyan Ruijin's words fell, a white bearded Taoist appeared behind Huyan Ruijin. Waving the horsetail whisk in his hand, he looked at Baili Mingyue with a face full of smiles, "Regent, long time no see."
Looking at that person, Baili Mingyue's expression did not change, but behind her, the complexions of Mo Chen and Wu Hen both paled uncontrollably, their hearts filled with anxiety and nervousness.
Spiritual Master Xuan Ji!
If this was in the past, with master's martial arts skills, in the entire Navy Tide Continent, there were only three people who could fight him to a standstill, and Spiritual Master Xuan Ji was coincidentally one of them! But now, with Master's cold poison acting up again, his internal energy is less than fifty percent recovered. If he were to fight with Spiritual Master Xuan Ji, the consequences... Unimaginable!
Baili Mingyue looked at Spiritual Master Xuan Ji, his expression turning cold.
The actions of these two disciples were basically dragging him down, not wanting him to go to Jinzhou City. But what was his purpose?
He recalled what he had heard from Baili Mingtian the next day —
"I want to leave you in the middle canal and go look for her myself. Tell me, with my face that is almost exactly the same as yours, would I replace you with her and make her fall in love with me?"
Could it be that Baili Mingtian had already left for middle canal at this time?
Wasn't that girl in danger?!
When she thought about this, Baili Mingyue's patience ran out. Her originally clear and sonorous voice became somewhat eerie and cold, "Huyan Ruijin, what exactly do you want to do?!"
"After Baili Mingyue finished speaking, she saw Huyan Ruijin's light smile, and following that, a few times more black-clothed men appeared behind him. In the front row, there was a row of people holding bows and arrows, and in the back, there were also people holding longswords. The Regent need not be angry, nor would I want to do anything. It's just that I was asked to leave the Regent here. "
Entrusted by someone?
Regardless of who it was, anyone would not be in a good mood when faced with such blatant provocation, let alone Baili Mingyue, who was already anxious in her heart. Seeing the ambushers in front of her, Baili Mingyue's jade-like face slightly furrowed her sword-like eyebrows. A bloodthirsty light gradually appeared in her eyes, making her look extremely vicious.
The astral wind formed from his inner force violently curled around his black hair and white clothes … It should have been the scene of an immortal descending to the mortal world, yet it had the temperament of an Asura from hell.
Seeing that, Mo Chen knew that Baili Mingyue was angry.
He had followed Baili Mingyue for so many years, the number of times she had revealed such a vicious expression was something he had only seen twice. The last time was five years ago, when Southern Qi's Duke Yu had plotted against him.
Although he could understand the anger in his heart, as Baili Mingyue's doctor, he had no choice but to step forward and remind her: "Master, you …" He absolutely could not use his true qi!
Before Mo Chen could finish his sentence, he heard Baili Mingyue's cold and vicious voice, enunciating word by word: "Huyan Ruijin, if there is anything wrong with her, my Southern Qi will definitely trample her to the ground. I will use the lives of thousands of your people, and Xi Ling's thousands of miles of mountains, as the price for your foolish actions!"
When Baili Mingyue said this, Huyan Ruijin's expression turned cold.
He was very clear about the strength of the Southern Qi!
For the past few years, had fought with four hundred thousand Red Army s and a mere one Imperial General's Estate. However, Xi Ling was unable to obtain any benefits from it. If you add Baili Mingyue on, then Xi Ling's commoners …
Huyan Ruijin was still hesitating when she saw Spiritual Master Xuan Ji toss his horsetail whisk around with a faint smile on his face. It was as if his emotions were not affected by Baili Mingyue's words at all, and her words were cold, "Since that's the case, Baili Mingyue, do you think this sovereign will let you leave here alive today?" Amongst everyone present, the only person qualified to say such words was himself, Spiritual Master Xuan Ji.
… ….
Within the Fengfu, a few more days passed in a flash.
Hong Tian had only returned once. After accompanying Feng Wuyou and eating a meal together, and after understanding the state of Feng Wuyou's injuries, he returned to the army camp. At that time, Feng Wuyou entrusted Xiao Lie to him so that he could take him out to train.
Hong Li was also busy taking care of Worryfree Manor's business all day, other than occasionally returning to Fengfu to accompany Feng Wuyou for a meal, he was very busy the rest of his time. During this time, Chu Lingshan also stayed in the Fengfu, and would occasionally chat with Feng Wuyou, but a lot of times, she would find an excuse to send them back.
Feng Wuyou didn't know the reason either, but it seemed like Yun Rong didn't like him at all.
Chu Lingshan had come to find Feng Wuyou a few times, but none of them had found any results, so she didn't come again. Usually, she would embroider flowers or read books in her courtyard, and occasionally cook some sweets for Hong Li to send over.
Hua Yurong's injuries had always been a concern to him.
Thus, he also settled down in Fengfu at ease. When Feng Wuyou was bored, he would occasionally go and chat with him, but most of the time, it was him who came to find Feng Wuyou.
In short, everyone was busy.
However, there was one person who was very free, and that was — Nanny Yun Rong!
Ever since she had sent the wedding dress over for Hong Li to choose that day, she had made arrangements for him to choose from every single day, from the phoenix crown's red robe, to the pearl chaste jade ring, and even to the marriage fat and water powder … In short, it was constantly pounding Feng Wuyou's eardrums.
In the end, Feng Wuyou could no longer endure it and found an opportunity to sneak out of the Hong Mansion with Lv Luo and Yue Yang, and began to wander the streets.
The situation on the streets of Jinzhou City was the complete opposite from the place where the city gates were guarded.
The crowd had happy smiles on their faces as they leisurely walked. From time to time, there would be the sound of people hawking, shouting and bargaining … In short, it was like a bustling city in the prime of its life, unlike the city that was always on the verge of a war.
Feng Wuyou looked at the people around him, her face carrying a happy smile, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Actually, sometimes being an ordinary person, like them, gets done by the sun, and ends by the sun, is pretty good too." If he was indifferent like them, then there shouldn't be any cheating around him. She should have a use for it, right?
Hearing that, Lv Luo knew that the young miss was missing the Regent, and was not clear about the grudges between the Regent and the young miss.
However, Mo Xi, who was standing behind Feng Wuyou, had a look of disbelief in his eyes when he heard her words.
If she remembered correctly, Feng Wuyou was the Third Miss of the Red House, the sister of the richest man in the world. What's that word called?
Oh, right, it was a tycoon!
Although she didn't know what tycoon meant, she remembered that Feng Wuyou had said that intuition was a good word!
In short, in Mo Xi's heart, a tycoon like Feng Wuyou should be seeking an extremely good marriage relationship. Although she might not have to directly ascend in rank, she should at least become a good family right? However, she actually said that she envied the ordinary lives of these people?
Was her brain playing tricks on her!?
Furthermore, she had already sent out the news that Feng Wuyou was going to get married for a few days. Logically speaking, the Regent should have received the news a long time ago, but when he received the news, he should have rushed over already.
