Since the accident of the Eighth Prince, the first emperor has asked people to block the North Ridge, which has not been opened for more than ten years, so these guards in front of him are not familiar with the North Ridge.

"Princess, do you want to wait for the people from the Admiral's Yamen to come before you go in! This place in Beiling is very dangerous, and there are all kinds of fierce beasts, poisonous flowers and poisonous grasses, which are extremely dangerous. The little general, surnamed Zhou, was standing at the entrance of the North Ridge at the moment, looking at Qiao Mingyue hesitantly.

Listening to his words, Qiao Mingyue did not hesitate at all, since it was so dangerous here, then maybe Qi Jingyun would be in danger if they went a little later.

With a slight groan, Qiao Mingyue decisively ordered: "Leave one person to wait here, wait for the people from the Admiral's Yamen to come and tell them about our situation, and the rest of the people will follow me into Beiling!" ”

"But......" The little commander surnamed Zhou wanted to say something more, but was shocked by Qiao Mingyue's eyes, "But what?" If something happens to the crown prince and His Royal Highness King Jin here, you will not be too much to punish the nine clans. ”

"It may be dangerous for you to go in now, but if you don't go in, the emperor will blame you, and you will definitely die, which is more important, you should be clear!" If something happens to the crown prince, how can the emperor let go of these people in front of him.

In the eyes of the superiors, their lives are nothing more than mustard, and it is possible for the emperor to be angry and even the nine clans.

Listening to Qiao Mingyue's words, that Zhou Commander's face was a little ugly, and he lowered his head for a long time before he raised his head and said, "My subordinates understand!" Everyone listen to the order, come with me into Northridge! ”

He is the commander here, and those guards naturally listen to him, and as soon as he speaks at this moment, everyone has no objections, and a group of people enter the North Ridge in a mighty manner.

Inside the North Ridge, as the guards said, the ancient trees were towering and mountainous, and the sky was getting late, and the trees obscured the only light left, leaving only a dark night.

Raising the torch, Qiao Mingyue got off the horse and squatted on the ground to look carefully, in front of him, there was a puddle of blood, there were not many blood stains, and they were left drip along the road, extending into the depths of the dense forest.

Taking a deep breath, Qiao Mingyue stepped onto the horse, and a group of people chased the blood trail forward, "Princess, what do you see in front of you?" ”

Commander Zhou pointed to the black thing in front of him and said, Qiao Mingyue secretly clenched the long sword in his hand, and when he got closer, he realized that it was a dying hunting ground guard.

"What happened? Where is His Royal Highness the Prince? After seeing that it was the guard of the hunting ground, Commander Zhou hurriedly stepped forward and squatted down to ask, the man slowly opened his eyes, and with difficulty stretched out his hand and pointed to a path on the left.

"We ...... was ambushed, King Jin saved the prince...... "Before he finished speaking, he had already tilted his head and fainted, he still had breath, so he couldn't ignore it, Qiao Mingyue simply bandaged him, and then ordered someone to send him out.

Originally, there were not many people brought, and three more people were assigned to escort the injured people out, and now there were only eight people around Qiao Mingyue, and in the deep dense forest at night, nine people seemed extremely small.

Following the guidance of the injured man, the group continued to walk, stepping on the fallen leaves and dead branches that had been piled up on the ground for many years, and every now and then there was a dull clicking sound.

"Be careful!"

Keenly hearing the sound of a sharp blade breaking through the air, Qiao Mingyue turned over and drew his long sword, and shot down the oncoming arrows with a single sword.

The arrow landed on the ground, making a loud sound, Commander Zhou looked at the arrow in front of him, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time, if it wasn't for Princess Jin who saved his life just now, then he was afraid that he would die in this dense forest!

"What's the fuss? Do you stand here and be a living target? Qiao Mingyue roared angrily, and Commander Zhou suddenly came back to his senses, and a group of people hid behind the trees nearby to take cover.

Whoosh......

There were a few more sounds that broke through the air, Qiao Mingyue waved an arrow in his crotch, but he didn't expect that there was someone on his left, he didn't have time to dodge, and saw that the arrow was about to be shot.

Almost immediately, Qiao Mingyue knew who was coming, and without the slightest resistance, she let him hold him in her arms, she looked up at him, the moonlight shone down through the dense bushes, mottled and reflected on his face.

That handsome face was full of pity and nervousness, and in the moonlight, a drop of blood coagulated at the corner of his eye, like a tear mole.

Qiao Mingyue stretched out his hand to wipe it off, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, his hand was held in the palm of Qi Jingyun's hand, he frowned, and his face was angry, "What are you doing here?" ”

It's dangerous here, he doesn't know how many enemies there are in the dark, Tuoba Yu was slightly injured, he has arranged him in a cave, leaving all the people behind to protect him, and he is about to go back and find someone to help.

Who knew that not long after leaving, he heard the sound of arrows, and when he came to find the sound, he saw a scene that made him tremble.

Thinking that if he came later, that arrow would have been shot into Qiao Mingyue's body, Qi Jingyun could not calm down, and the hand holding Qiao Mingyue couldn't help but tremble.

"I'm fine, lord, are you okay? Are there any injuries? Qiao Mingyue changed her previous calm and calm, and looked at Qi Jingyun nervously, Qi Jingyun shook her head, and before she could say anything, she felt another arrow shot in secret, and hurriedly hugged Qiao Mingyue to dodge it, and the arrow shot straight into the ancient tree.

"Lord Wang, His Royal Highness King Jin!" A familiar voice sounded, not far away, Qiao Mingyue hid in Qi Jingyun's arms, and said in a deep voice that the Admiral had brought the Admiral's Yamen here.

Qi Jingyun was also obviously relieved, it was really a little tricky to see the other party clearly in this dark night, especially when Qiao Mingyue was by his side, he was even more afraid that she would be injured.

Now that Lord Admiral has come with the masters of the Admiral's Mansion, he can also breathe a sigh of relief.

Hearing footsteps in the distance, the killer hiding in the shadows ordered a retreat, where could they just leave? Qi Jingyun held Qiao Mingyue behind the big tree and admonished: "No matter how good your martial arts are, now you have to listen to me obediently hide behind the tree, and wait for me to get rid of those people." ”

Qiao Mingyue looked at Qi Jingyun with a nervous look, couldn't help but smile, and nodded obediently, if she had just now, she would never have let him take the risk, but now that the people from the Admiral's Yamen are here, she is also relieved.

Listening to the footsteps, the Admiral should have brought all the people from the Admiral's Yamen.

"Keep your mouth alive!" After only telling Qi Jingyun such a sentence, Qiao Mingyue let go of the hand holding him and saw that his body was as light as a swallow and disappeared into the night.
