Chapter 21: Into the Mountains

Mu Zhifu wanted to hold his hand, but suppressed this impulse with the only trace of reason left.

Under the cuffs, her fingers moved uncontrollably. Immediately, he slowly lowered his head and only responded softly: "Hmm." ”

Lu Rongmu smiled faintly, turned around and walked towards the house.

Just as he walked to the door and stretched out his hand to push the door, Mu Zhifu finally couldn't help but turn to look at him, and solemnly admonished: "You should be careful." ”

Looking at her worried expression, Lu Rongmu smiled contentedly.

"Yes. With that, he pushed the door back to his room.

When I woke up the next day, the atmosphere of the whole village was different.

Hundreds of people were in high spirits, and they could enter the mountain when the hour came, and the barrier of Hongshan Mountain was lifted.

The red flute is still not there. Xie Nianqing was worried that Mu Zhifu would be in danger if she was alone, so she pulled her with them.

Anyway, they all wanted to go into the mountain together, so she didn't refuse.

Standing in the crowd, Mu Zhifu unexpectedly felt a few vicious breaths.

Yan Ruoxi and the Thirteenth Princess were calculated by her last night, and with Xiao Jinche's character, she would not show anything on the surface, but she would not let go of the two easily, especially the Thirteenth Princess.

The woman in yellow hated her from the first time they met, to be precise, she hated all the women who approached Lu Rongmu. But today, it should be more than just hate, it can be said to be hate.

After getting along several times, Mu Zhifu has figured out the identity of the woman in yellow - her identity is that she has no identity.

The woman's surname is Shen, and her name is Qingmeng. She is the daughter of a small Zhizhou in Xichu. He is fifteen years old this year, and his cultivation has reached the triple level of the two ritual realms. This is already considered a cultivation wizard in the local area.

Her father is also very proud and willing to invest in her, hoping that she can achieve something in the future, marry into a high-ranking family, and take the whole family to prosperity.

Going out to experience is something that cultivators often do, and Shen Qingmeng is no exception. Moreover, she was extremely lucky this time, and not long after she came out, she met Lu Rongmu alone.

Shen Qingmeng's self-esteem is very high, and those who are not noble-born cannot enter his eyes. But she is the daughter of a local petty official, and she has no chance of meeting a truly rich and noble person.

Therefore, when she learned that Lu Rongmu was born in the first family of Qi Kingdom, she targeted him.

In addition to his identity, Lu Rongmu himself is also extremely good. At the age of seventeen, his cultivation has already reached the ninth level of the Three Talents Realm, and breaking through the Four Elephant Realm is just around the corner. Coupled with his immortal-like appearance, Shen Qingmeng quickly fell into it and couldn't extricate himself.

The two walked together, during which Shen Qingmeng repeatedly hinted that Lu Rongmu never refused. Just when she thought that this man was already in her pocket, they met Yan Ruoxi again.

Lu Rongmu treats Yan Ruoxi the same as she treats her, she does not refuse to come and takes good care of her. This made Shen Qingmeng jealous at first, feeling that their relationship was intervened by a third party.

Until they met Xie Nianqing again, Lu Rongmu still had the same attitude.

Shen Qingmeng finally realized that they hadn't achieved anything before. Everything was just wishful thinking on her part, a misunderstanding.

But even so, she still deceived herself that Lu Rongmu met her first, and her feelings for her should always be deeper.

But the reality is cruel, Mu Zhifu can see clearly that Lu Rongmu's gentleness is just a habit. He did not pour any affection into these women, including herself.

Just when Mu Zhifu was thinking wildly, Shen Qingmeng seemed to pass by her inadvertently, and warned in a voice that only two people could hear: "Don't beat the idea of the son, otherwise be careful of your cheap life." ”

Mu Zhifu was stunned for a moment, and then sneered.

Shen Qingmeng's eyes were red with anger, his fists were clenched, and he didn't know that his nails were sunk into the flesh. These women don't take her seriously, it's really bold.

Before she could attack, the noisy crowd suddenly fell silent. There was a sound of footsteps at the back of the crowd.

Everyone automatically got out of the way, and Xiao Jinche walked over with dozens of guards.

The speed at which Shen Qingmeng's face changed was admirable, and he gritted his teeth just now, and smiled like a flower in an instant. He bowed to the person who came, and called softly: "His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Xiao Jinche glanced at her and bowed her head slightly.

Mu Zhifu looked at the two of them out of the corner of her eye, and secretly sighed in her heart - they all looked like dogs.

The prince was cheated by her last night for five thousand taels of silver, even for the sake of fame, it was a little painful. I didn't like her very much, and walked past her without looking at her.

Of course, she also wished that Xiao Jinche wouldn't look at her, and she was afraid that he would recognize her if she saw too much.

But others didn't think so, and when Shen Qingmeng passed by her again, he raised his chin and hummed proudly.

There was no one to direct this entry into the mountain, but after the prince came, everyone naturally obeyed his arrangement, and no one dared to resist.

The prince is a chicken thief, with a group of people in front and a group of people in the back, ranking his team in the middle. He also put Lu Rongmu, the third senior brother and other acquaintances with high cultivation by his side.

He specially sent four guards and ordered Mu Zhifu to take them to find the spiritual energy crystal.

The rest of the people were mixed in with his guards, in the name of keeping a few people safe.

While speaking, the hour has arrived, and the demonic wind is everywhere.

After a gust of wind, the people in front shouted in surprise: "There is a road, you can enter the mountain." ”

There was a commotion in the crowd, and the mighty procession began to move slowly.

Not far away, there are many forks in the mountains one after another. There are fewer and fewer people in the ranks.

The crown prince also sent many guards to different forks in the road, not letting go of any possibility.

Because Mu Zhifu said last night that the aura crystals were found not far from the edge of the village, they were dispatched not long after entering the mountain.

Xie Nianqing wanted to follow her, but was forcibly stopped by the prince. The reason is that the crystallization of aura is a major event of the country, and I hope that the Eastern Jin Dynasty will not interfere in the state affairs of Daliang.

This big hat was buttoned down, Xie Nianqing had no choice but to give up, and continued to go to the depths of Hongshan with Lu Rongmu.

Mu Zhifu took four guards around the mountains and forests, thinking about how to get rid of them. Suddenly, a crisp birdsong sounded from the depths of the trees.

This call is different from other bird calls, crisp and tactful, like a sound rhythm, and the call is accompanied by spiritual power, which hits people's hearts.

All five of them were shocked, looked at each other, and their eyes agreed - go and see!

A few people followed the sound all the way, and every time they heard the sound of birds chirping, they were nowhere to be seen.

After walking for a pillar of incense, they came across another group of men, who were not the prince's bodyguards, nor were they familiar with them, but who had apparently been found by the birds.

I don't know if it's because the prince is not there, the other party has completely lost the respect before entering the mountain, as if they are opponents who come to grab prey.

Mu Zhifu secretly estimated the strength of the two sides in her heart, there were many people on the other side, there were sixteen people, but the average cultivation was not as high as the prince's guards. If there is a fight, I am afraid that neither side will be able to get benefits.
