It is a nine-day journey from Fenglin City. In addition to traveling day and night every day, Ning Mingchen and his entourage eat, drink and stay at the post house along the way.

Travel lightly and quickly, and most of the journey has passed.

Autumn in Ningxuanguo is a rainy season, and the proximity to the sea brings abundant rain to the country. But it also caused big trouble for Ning Mingchen.

On this day, heavy rains fell suddenly, and heavy rains caused flash floods. When the rain stopped, the pathfinders reported that the road ahead had been blocked by a huge mudslide, and no one could move forward.

Zuihou had to take a detour, which would have taken two extra days.

When it was almost evening, he saw a small building in front of him from a distance, and Xu Jun went to check it. Back it was a dilapidated temple, and there were no monks living in it anymore. Xu Jun suggested staying here tonight.

Ning Mingchen also agreed, and everyone drove their horses towards the broken temple.

Ruan Ge has been bumping on the horse for several days, and he has long been dizzy. In addition, she can't eat or sleep well, and she has been on the horse at close range with Ning Mingchen for so many days, and she has a string in her heart all the time, and she doesn't know when it will break. And Xia Xueqing's resentful eyes are always staring at her. This kind of day is really hard.

Before arriving at the ruined temple, everyone dismounted. These people are all Ning Mingchen's personal guards, with super comprehensive ability, cleaning the camp, lighting fires, cooking, collecting firewood, and the division of labor is clear and orderly.

This ruined temple has been abandoned for many years, and half of the mountain gate hangs diagonally at the door, and the wind squeaks. There is a flat block hanging on the top of the door, and if you carefully identify it, it is written as 'Myozenji'.

The grass in the yard was half a person high, but fortunately, the yard was not large, and the weeds were quickly removed by the soldiers.

The main hall is still in good condition, and the east and west side halls have collapsed. The main hall is dedicated to the statue of Fugen Bodhisattva, which has been covered with dust.

Ruan Ge saw the solemnity of the Bodhisattva Dharma, and couldn't help but step forward and prostrate on the ground, and bowed three times sincerely.

In her previous life, although she did not believe in Buddhism, she also knew that good and evil would be rewarded in the end, and now that she came to another world absurdly, she had to believe that there might really be someone in charge in the underworld.

Ruan Ge folded her hands and prayed in her heart, if there was really an afterlife, she sincerely prayed that her mother, who was implicated to death, could reunite with her father who died early, spend her life happily and peacefully, and never worry about her unfilial daughter again.

"Are you praying that it doesn't fall into my hands?" Xia Xueqing's voice sounded behind Ruan Ge.

Ruan Ge felt that this woman was simply haunted, and she was definitely a paranoid. She ignored her, stood up and patted the dust, turned and walked out of the main hall.

Xia Xueqing gritted her teeth in the back and said: "Don't think that if Brother Chen protects you, you will have no one in your eyes, and sooner or later I will let you die a miserable death."

Ruan Ge sighed helplessly, "I said Your Excellency, since you like Ning Mingchen so much, you should put your mind on him, and I declare that I have nothing to do with him, he just treats me as a slave, have you ever seen a noble prince who likes lowly slaves?" ”

Ruan Ge didn't want Xia Xueqing to always treat herself as a rival, so she explained in one breath.

Xia Xueqing was stunned when she heard this, and carefully pondered Ruan Ge's words, which really made sense. But Ning Mingchen's attitude towards Ruan Ge still made her heart feel like a fish in her throat.

Ruan Ge didn't bother to bother anymore, turned around and left to ignore her.

A roaring bonfire had already been lit in the courtyard, and Ning Mingchen had just seen Xia Xueqing who seemed to be going to trouble her again, and wanted to watch a good show. Seeing Ruan Ge come out, he ordered, "Why don't you come to serve this king?"

Ruan Ge rolled her eyes helplessly, and said in her heart: "After sending one after another, these two goods were sent by God to torture her?"

Suddenly, Xia Xueqing's scream came from the main hall, "Ah! Help me! ”

Ning Mingchen's face changed, and Xu Jun and the others were also shocked, and hurriedly rushed to the main hall.

When I arrived at the door of the main hall, I saw a man in black choking Xia Xueqing's neck and slowly walking out of the hall gate.

Xia Xueqing still wanted to struggle, but as soon as the man's wrist was forced, Xia Xueqing's face turned pale with pain, and she couldn't move anymore.

"Hehe, Your Excellency is so skilled, you can sneak in silently, but this king didn't notice it." Ning Mingchen could still laugh.

A pair of eagle-like eyes appeared under the black scarf on the man's face, and for some reason, these eyes made Ruan Ge feel familiar.

"I don't want to kill her, as long as you agree to my terms." The man in black spoke, his voice a little hoarse.

Xu Jun couldn't hold back: "Just because you are also worthy of negotiating terms with us?" ”

Ning Mingchen waved his hand, signaling Xu Jun not to worry, "Oh? Tell me about it? Ning Mingchen was not in a hurry, and seemed to be very interested.

Ruan Ge was very nervous, although Xia Xueqing was not kind to her, but it was also a living life.

"I'm going to swap someone!" The man in black said slowly.

"Swap someone? Who? Ning Mingchen asked.

"That's her!" The man in black actually pointed his finger straight at Ruan Ge.

Ruan Ge blurted out in surprise: "I, I, are you talking about me?" ”

The man nodded affirmatively.

Ning Mingchen looked at Ruan Ge meaningfully, wanting to see something from her face. Ruan Ge saw Ning Mingchen looking at him like this, and shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "You don't have to look at me like this, I don't know what's going on." ”

Ruan Ge turned to the man in black and said pitifully: "I said this uncle, I have no grudge with you in the long run, and I have no enmity in the near future, I don't even know who you are, why do you want to harm me?" ”

The man in black didn't answer.

"It's strange that you're a strange person, you still have a bit of weight in your hand now, but you want to exchange a slave next to me, do you think you still have a chance to escape from my palm?"

"You won't have to worry about this, do you agree or not?" The man in black asked Ning Mingchen.

Ning Mingchen smiled slightly, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes: "I hate being threatened the most in my life, I see that you have good kung fu and are a talent, otherwise do you think this king will talk to you for so long?" ”

The man in black increased the strength in his hand, Xia Xueqing was in pain, seeing that her breath was blocked, her face was suffocated.

Ruan Ge was anxious and hurriedly said: "This big brother, I agree, I agree to exchange, you let her go first!" "Although I don't know what the intentions of this man in black are, this is a perfect opportunity to escape from Ning Mingchen.

Ruan Ge quickly ran towards the man in black, and the man in black was also quick, grabbed Ruan Ge's arm, and led the two of them to the roof of the main hall.

As soon as he pushed Xia Xueqing down, he wanted to take Ruan Ge and turn around and leave. Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, Ning Mingchen appeared behind the two like lightning.

The man in black whispered in Ruan Ge's ear, "You go quickly." After speaking, he took Ruan Ge behind him.

Ruan Ge was stunned for a moment, and suddenly reacted, this was actually Sang Kejie's voice. This man managed to escape the pursuit, but at this time he risked his life to save himself.
