Such a strange situation made Lan Yunjuan more and more cautious, he first carefully opened the city gate a crack, and looked out of the city through the gap, it was still pitch black, and half a figure could not be seen. Immediately, he poked the hilt of his sword out of the city gate, shook it slightly, and it was still calm.

He did not let his guard down because of this, but continued to increase the movement of his hands, until he opened the gate a man-wide, and then he leaned out of it, and moved little by little towards the gate. I don't know if those who were hiding in the dark were deliberately letting him out, or if they were suspicious, and even the sound of falling leaves could be heard clearly.

The main road outside the city gate leading directly into the distance is very neat, and there is not a single human figure, if there is an ambush, I am afraid that they will choose to choose the ridge on both sides. By the moonlight, he could only see the reflection of the shadows of the trees, but he couldn't see the others very clearly. Lan Yunjuan had no choice but to go back the way he came, and carefully report what he saw to his master.

This time, Lan Junyao accompanied her, and several of them went to the front to explore the way, leaving Lan Qingyue behind to take care of her. In order to protect her, the three elders followed her closely, and if there was a disturbance, they would definitely not be able to escape the eyes of the three elders.

Out of the city gate, Lan Junyao reached into his arms and took out a fire fold to blow it up, and shone it on the left and right, but unfortunately the range of the fire fold was limited, and the place where he went to the top was still dark.

At this time, the three elders walked up to her, took something wrapped in coarse paper, handed it to her, and motioned for her to light it up. Although Lan Junyao didn't know what this thing was for, it should be similar to the principle of the fire fold. She clicked on the thing and threw it into the air.

Mars, which had been an unknown spark, suddenly burst open when it rose to the height on both sides of the ridge, and at the same time, the fire burst out with dazzling light, reflecting the sky as if it were day.

Lan Junyao looked up, and couldn't help but be frightened at this look, only to see that both sides of the ridge were densely packed with Western Continent guards in armor, and they were not prepared for such a move, and the sudden brightness of the sky made all of them cover their eyes in unison.

Lan Junyao's gaze met with the three elders, they all saw the solemn look in each other's eyes, the two of them made a gesture behind them, and the people behind them immediately changed their formation and quickly retreated towards the city gate. If they weren't cautious, they would have really fallen into Lu Zhirun's trap.

Thinking of the dense Western Continent soldiers on the ridge and the ancient trees, Lan Junyao felt a tingling of her scalp. Before they could retreat into the city gates, a sudden change occurred, and a large number of soldiers suddenly poured out of the originally dark dwellings of the people, and people kept running towards them in the empty streets.

The soldiers who had just been dazzled by the cold smoke bomb also came back to their senses, their eyes could not see for a while, but they just opened the bow in their hands and aimed at the mountain road below, listening carefully one by one, making it clear that no one would be allowed to pass.

After a while, these people had already surrounded them, the torches lit up half of the sky, and Lu Zhirun separated the team and slowly walked out from behind.

Everyone gathered together, and they formed a circle back to back, standing face to face with these soldiers from the Western Continent, and handed over their backs to their teammates.

"I said we'd meet again soon. "It was still the same set of clothes in the daytime, and seeing this posture, after leaving the col, he went straight to this place to ambush them, and this man had reached the point of madness.

"It's useless to talk to him more, we'll escort you out of here later, his goal is you, as long as you can get out of here, he can't do anything with us. Lan Qingyue, who was guarding the other side of her, said.

Lan Junyao shook her head, she generally knew a little bit about Lu Zhirun's personality, if she really did what Brother Qingyue said, she was afraid that he would be angry and angry with them. With himself here, he will be more or less scrupulous, if he leaves alone, with the troops he brought today, he is afraid that none of these people he brought will be able to escape.

"Lu Zhirun, what if you get me? If it is really as the rumors have spread, the rise and fall of the world is in my thoughts, wouldn't Ling Qixuan have already obtained the whole world?" Lan Junyao tried to dissuade him verbally, but if she could delay it for a while, she couldn't do anything about this kind of predicament right now.

"I know you're a good talker, but if you don't come with me today, all their lives will be buried here. Lu Zhirun was not shaken by her words, since it was an assertion made by the old man of Nanshan, how could there be any reason to be wrong?

"No, you can't stay here, he has vicious methods, if you have something long and short, how can I be worthy of my parents under Jiuquan?" Lan Qingyue was the first to express her determination, and the others were the same as him, although they didn't say it, they couldn't let her fall into the hands of Lu Zhirun if they fought for their lives.

Lan Junyao glanced at the situation around her, bitterness crept into her heart, her fists were invincible to her four feet, she didn't want to see any casualties among the people around her. The sword has no eyes, if it really fights, with these people, they will definitely not be able to retreat from the Western Continent. The only strategy at the moment is to stay for the time being, Lu Zhirun is afraid of his identity, at least he will not hurt himself.

Suddenly, Lan Junyao had already weighed the pros and cons in her heart, this was already a last resort, because of herself, Lu Zhirun would not do anything to them under her nose for the time being, but it was out of her sight, and it was unknown. They also have to preserve their strength until they escape from his sphere of influence.

"Brother Qingyue, don't worry, as long as I am still a person who obeys the destiny of heaven one day, he will not do anything to me. Lan Junyao comforted everyone with kind words, gave everyone a reassuring look that they could not refuse, and then said to Shuang Xiujing on the side: "Brother Wuwu, you must help me take them out of danger." ”

Frost Xiujing wanted to open his mouth to refuse, but he met her eyes with some pleading, so he had to swallow these words back, and nodded solemnly under her gaze.

"I promise to stay here, but I also have conditions, you can't stop them from leaving here, if one of these people is missing a hair, I will definitely not give up with you. Lan Junyao said with an oath.

"Since it is your request, I will naturally agree to it all. Lu Zhirun walked forward a little, but he was still within the protection of the Western Continent soldiers.

Seeing Lan Junyao walk to Lu Zhirun's side, they didn't have anything to do, and their faces were a little unsightly. It's just that Lan Junyao's sacrifice can't be in vain, they will get out of here for the time being, and then save her from Lu Zhirun's clutches, they plan to do so.

As early as when Lan Junyao and the others came out of the mansion, the spies guarding there reported the matter to their masters. Ling Qixuan had just laid down on the bed, and before he could close his eyes, he heard Mo Shi's report, he hurriedly put on his clothes and chased in the direction they had left.

It's just a delay, and by the time he chased after him with someone, Lan Junyao had already returned to the palace in Xilu with Lu Zhirun, and Shuang Xiujing and the others didn't delay anymore and left here in a hurry.

Before arriving at the city gate, Ling Qixuan had already been stopped. It turned out that Fang Caimo went back to report the news, but he followed Lan Junyao and the others here and saw with his own eyes how they were stopped. He reported the whole thing to his master, in exchange for his master's cannibalistic gaze.

He expected that Lu Zhirun would not stop so easily, so he asked Mo Shi and the others to stay outside the mansion to watch their movements, and he didn't expect that he was still one step too late. At present, he is being held hostage everywhere in the Western Continent, and with the few people he brought, he will definitely not be able to rescue Lan Junyao.

Ling Qixuan ordered almost word by word: "Mo Shi, send an order to return to Beijing, and order Mo Quanzhi to arrive here within three days, if you can't come on time, you don't have to stay with me in the future." ”

Under such an order, everyone was taken aback, and Mo Yi dissuaded him on the side: "Master, this move must not be, if all the Mo people leave Gyeonggi, if there is any turmoil in Gyeonggi, how can the master take care of it?"

Although some people didn't say it, what they wanted to express in their eyes was the same meaning as Mo Yi.

Mo Yi's dissuasion was exchanged for Ling Qixuan's anger, he kicked Mo Yi to his side, and roared angrily: "If I lose her, even if I have the country, what's the point?"

No one dared to have any objections, and Mo Shi silently turned away to gather the rest of the people here.

Hurried overnight, and at dawn, Shuang Xiujing and the others dared to stop, and after walking for so long, they could take a temporary breath, presumably Lu Zhirun would not chase after him. It's just that none of them have any joy on their faces, and the top of the entire team seems to be covered with a dark cloud.

"Brother Xiujing, does he have a good plan?" Lan Qingyue handed the reins of the horse to the other people, and paced to Shuang Xiujing's side, the two of them had the same sadness and resentment on their faces, thinking that they had to rely on Lan Junyao's compromise to get out of the Western Continent, which was tantamount to a great shame for them.

"Alas. Shuang Xiujing shook his head and sighed, it was not a simple matter to rescue her from Lu Zhirun's hands. Yesterday, there were a lot of losses among the soldiers of the Western Continent, but under the iron-blooded wrist of Frost Xiujing, no one dared to be dissatisfied with this, which shows his iron-fisted methods.

If you want to rescue her, you must not be able to bring so many people, otherwise you will just send protons to Lu Zhirun's hands. That's it, let's send these people back to Dongling first, and then make plans.

After a long half-hour of silence, they set off again, as dreary as before.
