Not long after Xi Muyu and the others left, the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the town again, instantly breaking the tranquility of the town.

Different from the mood of the handsome boy who looked at the luxurious carriage before, the villagers immediately became nervous and uneasy when they saw these gray-clothed men who were coming with great momentum, and they closed their doors one after another, for fear of causing trouble.

"Master, my subordinates have investigated everywhere, but they have not found any carriages or inns!"

The man on horseback, who was called the master, was dressed in a dark brocade robe, with half a silver mask on his face, and the cold aura exuded from his whole body made people shudder. This is exactly what chased Xi Mu all the way to Situ Yu.

That day, he chased the carriage and galloped, but because Xi Muyu blocked it, he finally lost his way, and he used the secret forces of Fengyuntang to find out their traces again.

He gazed at the deserted streets, and the houses with lights on both sides, and rode slowly forward for a while, when he suddenly pointed to an unlit courtyard and said, "Go in and have a look!" ”

Xiao Wu immediately led someone up to knock on the door, and when he saw that no one responded, he banged on the door directly, lit the candle inside, and found that there was a long table in the hall, on which were placed a lot of dishes and chopsticks and leftover food.

Situ Yu stepped forward to take a look, turned around and went to the kitchen and pulled out the sparks that had not yet been extinguished in the stove hole.

"Immediately look around this yard and see if there are any other trails! Then go next door and ask if you've seen strangers here! ”

"Yes!"

Besides, Xi Muyu and the others, after leaving Shuangquan Town from the path, moved forward for a while, and at a fork in the road, a carriage was already waiting there, and the appearance was not much different from the one they were riding. He immediately understood Xi Muyu's intentions, so he asked the coachman to go to another road.

The waiting carriage, when it saw them, also whipped its horse and galloped away.

In fact, that road is the way to the south, and they are going back.

"Are you sure Situ Yu will be fooled?" Wuchen turned around and asked Xi Muyu, who was also riding on horseback.

"Not sure! But if they don't, they'll chase them faster! Hold on for two more days, and if you really can't do it, go to Qinglong Mountain! "He made up his mind to separate them this time.

"Mu Yu doesn't seem to be willing, aren't you afraid of her making trouble?" Dustless is not without worries.

"You can't leave everything to her, Changli's situation is complicated, Situ Yu himself is still spinning in the whirlpool, how can he have the spare strength to protect her, not to mention that she is a nosy, so she has a temperament that is uneven!" Mu Yu couldn't help but look back at the carriage.

"If that's the case, then let's take her to Sangyue!" Wuchen looked at Mu Yu, took a deep breath, and suddenly said solemnly, "If you don't worry, give her to me!" ”

Xi Muyu looked at him sideways, his dark eyes were bright, and he couldn't see any emotion.

Wuchen knew that he was waiting for his next step, so he sighed and said, "To tell you the truth, I fell in love with her as early as the first time I saw her!" We have known each other for many years, you know my temperament best, there are very few things that make me so attentive, I am serious about her! ”

"But your status doesn't make her live a stable and comfortable life!"

Wuchen was slightly stunned, squinted at Xi Muyu for a while, and then laughed: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you!" But immediately he said with a straight face, "But I am different from Situ Yu, I have few worries, and I am much freer than him!" I will worship her as a treasure, and I will never let her be wronged in the slightest! ”

"She has a very stubborn temper and can't force anything! Now the only way is to make her die for Situ Yu, I arranged a play in Changhe County, I believe it will be of some use! He paused and looked at Wuchen again, "I only have such a sister, I just hope that she can spend this life safely and happily!" So, you have to be nice to her! ”

These words made Wuchen stunned again, but he quickly came back to his senses and said happily: "You mean, agree that I will take her away?!" ”

"But you can't force her at any time!"

"No, it won't! I will respect her ideas, and as long as I can protect her, I am already very satisfied and happy! The thought of seeing her every day and accompanying her made Wuchen unable to hide his excitement, as if everything had come true, "Soul, you must think I'm funny, don't you?" You must be laughing at me in your heart! He used to play life, but he didn't want to escape the word "love"!

Xi Muyu didn't make fun of him, but evoked a self-deprecating laugh in the dark that he couldn't see. His mood at the moment was something he had just experienced not long ago. However, he would never tell him, lest he lose the capital to make fun of him.

"I know you're well prepared and acting according to your plan, so I'll do my best to help!" Seeing that he was dancing happily, Xi Muyu finally smiled, in comparison, he hoped that Wuchen could be his brother-in-law.

A shallow first quarter moon hangs on the branches, but the faint and clear light gives infinite hope to passers-by.

After walking for more than an hour, on the edge of a leeward forest, Xi Muyu and Wuchen made a fire, intending to rest on the spot for a few hours.

Mu Yu and Ling Shuang were resting in the carriage, but because they slept a lot during the day, when Ling Shuang fell asleep, Mu Yu quietly got out of the carriage.

Although a fire was lit, the autumn night was still cold. Seeing them sleeping with their swords and their backs to the tree, Mu Yu lightly took the thin blankets from the cart and put them on them, and then sat down by the fire and added some firewood.

"Aren't you cold? You're still wearing this yourself! Why don't you go back to the carriage?" Wuchen pulled the thin blanket from his body and got up to drape it over her.

"Woke you up?" The herd turned back and smiled at him.

"Nope! I can't sleep! Wuchen also picked up a branch and stirred the fire.

In fact, as soon as she got out of the carriage, they knew, and Xi Muyu saw them chatting, and he was also happy to pretend to be asleep, and rest for a while by the way.

"You, you must be very happy to see my brother, right?" Mu Yu actually wanted to ask him how he knew he wasn't dead and why he followed them? But she was afraid that he would say something that would embarrass her, so she thought about it, changed her mind, and asked a very non-nutritious question.

Wuchen smiled, as if he knew what she was thinking: "I'm not here to find him, I'm here to find you!" ”

"Heh, what are you looking for me to do? Do you want to take that jade pendant back? Mu Yu wanted to hide his embarrassment, but he accidentally said something wrong and pulled it on the jade pendant, and he was immediately annoyed, and he wanted to slap his two big mouths.

Seeing her expression, Wuchen secretly laughed: "How can you get the things you sent back!" What's more, it's not an ordinary jade pendant, you can't just give it away and take it back! ”

Mu Yu saw that his eyes were full of meaning when he spoke, and his words were even more intriguing, and he said in his heart: This jade pendant should not be the same as that Luan Feng pendant, what is the mystery?

Just as they were thinking, suddenly the branches of the trees swayed, a few yellow leaves fell, and a man in blue clothes appeared in front of them.

Xi Muyu opened his eyes at the first time, and before he could speak, he preemptively asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Back to the master, there is a situation in the middle of the mountain!"

"Hurry up and get in the car, let's go!" Wuchen said to Mu Yu while putting out the fire.

The rumors were unknown, but seeing that they were so nervous, they thought that someone sent by Empress Xiao was chasing after them, so they hurriedly groped their way into the carriage.

With the faint light of the moon, they continued on their way.

But the more Mu Yu lay in the carriage, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, with his brother's temperament, how could he bear to be chased and hidden? Even if this is the realm of Changli, as long as Emperor Shuntian does not order the use of troops to encircle and suppress them, with the secret power of Empress Xiao and Xi Bochang, he will not let his brother and Wuchen be afraid to such a point! What's more, they still have Yuxue Mountain Villa and Rakshasa Gate in their hands!

But who would it be if it wasn't the people they sent, and who would have guessed that she was cheating to death and using her to make a big fuss?

Mu Yu looked at Ling Shuang, who was sleeping soundly on one side, and sighed lightly, I'm afraid this girl is tired these days!

Unable to think of a reason, and there was no one to ask, Mu Yu had to close her eyes and sleep, and in a daze, the sound of the wheels cooing accompanied her all night.

When I woke up, it was already daylight. Ling Shuang was sitting by the window, lifting the corner of the curtain and looking out.

"Frost, what are you looking at?" Mu Yu stood up and rubbed his waist, which was a little sore. Although the soft couch in the carriage is very comfortable, it still feels very uncomfortable after sitting and lying down for a long time.

"Oh, I'm looking at the scenery outside! This place is different from Yuxue Mountain and Longyang City, there are mountains all around, and they are all mountains that are not high, which is really amazing! Ling Shuang sighed, and reluctantly glanced at it again, before putting down the curtains, soaking the silk handkerchief in water, and then wringing it out and handing it to Xi Muyu, "Miss wipe your face!" ”

"Are there really so many mountains that are so high? I'm going to see it too! Mu Yu wiped his face, got up and sat down by the window, lifted the curtain and looked out.

Sure enough, as Ling Shuang said, as far as the eye could see, there were mountains everywhere, one after another, undulating, continuous, and unlike the mountains near Longyang City, all of them had been dyed golden, and the mountains here still looked so green.

Mu Yu also leaned against the window and sighed, then thought of yesterday's question, and asked Ling Shuang: "Shuang'er, we are rushing day and night like this, is there a chasing soldier behind us?" ”

Ling Shuang looked at her sideways and nodded, "Yes! Didn't Shuang'er tell you that on the way to Jiuhua Mountain that day, there were several groups of people who grabbed the coffin? One of them is particularly stubborn and strong, if it weren't for the young owner and the dustless boy joining forces, the young lady would be afraid that she would have fallen into their hands! ”

"So, do you know where those people came from?" Who is chasing after him so desperately?

Ling Shuang frowned and shook his head: "The leader is dressed up extremely strangely, but his aura is quite big, and he has a bit of the feeling of His Royal Highness King Chen, but he looks like a forty-year-old man. ”

"Could it be Xi Bochang?"

"No, it won't! I listened to Wuchen Gongzi, Xi Bochang did come, but he was beaten away by them. ”

"That's weird, I don't remember when I got into trouble with some weird-looking old man?" Xi Muyu felt that it was okay not to ask, but the more he asked, the more confusing it became.

"Oh, by the way, his men are also very strange, they are dressed more decently than him, but they all wear silver masks......"

"Mask?!" The two said in unison. When Ling Shuang said the word mask, her mind suddenly flashed with her previous gloomy appearance, and her mouth suddenly opened.
