Chu Qingruo was shocked when he heard someone shouting in the distance to search the mountain. The mountain roads are all uneven mountain paths, only difficult to climb the branches and vines on both sides, and climb up step by step.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and the voices of the group of people searching for her at the foot of the mountain became clearer and clearer.

Pulling the vines, he climbed hard over a small muddy slope and climbed up a fairly flat open field.

Panting and glancing at the foot of the mountain, her pursuers could already be seen faintly in the jungle. In a hurry, she looked around, and hurriedly saw a mountain hare not far away and jumped over, disappeared into a bush next to the cliff, and disappeared without a trace.

Suspicious in his heart, he looked for the direction in which the mountain rabbit disappeared and pushed aside the grass, and suddenly found a knee-high cave, and there was a faint wind blowing in the cave, Chu Qingruo was overjoyed, and hurriedly bent down and climbed in.

Yi Qing and Xu Yong led a team of people around to find Chu Qingruo.

Miss Chu has been missing for a whole day, and a girl's family doesn't know what will happen. Yi Qing and Xu Yong were worried in their hearts.

However, after searching the entire Chenzhou City, he only found the two subordinates sent by Yi Qing to protect Chu Qingruo, but there was still no trace of her.

Just when they were at a loss, one of Xu Yong's subordinates reported the situation in the Hulu Mountain area, which is about 30 miles away from Chenzhou, and according to local residents, it seems that a group of people are searching the mountain, and it is unknown what they are searching for.

After listening to the report of his subordinates, the two took a look and immediately set off for Hulu Mountain.

It didn't take long to rush to Hulu Mountain, ask the local villagers about the specific location of the group of people, place the horses, and after a short rest, they took advantage of the darkness to touch the mountain.

In the village where they had placed their horses, two young men came with them. When I arrived in the village, I inquired about the same place.

After finding out the exact location of the group of people who searched the mountain, the two of them also set up horses in the village and abandoned their horses and went up the mountain on foot.

Yes, these two young men are none other than Fu Lingyun and his entourage Lian Feng!

That day, Fu Lingyun was busy with military affairs in Qinghun County, and when he had leisure, he couldn't sit still for a moment, and took Lian Feng to Ping'an Town overnight.

Passing through the White Tiger Camp, I wanted to call Xu Yong to go back together.

Who knew that when he arrived at the White Tiger Camp, he was told that Vice General Xu had gone out with two teams of men and horses to carry out the mission.

Surprised, he casually asked what the task was, and then learned from the mouth of the personal guard that Qingshui County ordered a letter asking for help, and the girl who delivered the letter on the way was missing.

It is said that the girl who delivered the letter seems to know Vice General Xu. So Vice General Xu personally led a team of people and went with the master named Yi Qing to search for the girl who delivered the letter.

Hearing this, Fu Lingyun was so anxious, Lian Feng couldn't help but comfort him when he saw that his face was not good: "Young Master, Miss Chu is a woman, how can she be involved in the affairs of the imperial court, and she is famous." ”

Fu Lingyun shook his head, "Yi Qing, which one are you?" He glanced at Lian Feng with a toothache on his face, and picked out two good horses from the stable of the barracks that looked like they should have a good foot.

Lian Feng thought about his words while changing the saddle. "Master? Easy to clear? Easy to clear ...... Yiqing...... Lu Yiqing? Eleven......? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but scream, but was stopped by Fu Lingyun with a gesture.

Taking the reins handed over by Lian Feng, Fu Lingyun smiled helplessly, turned over and rode on the horse. "Let's go!"

I don't know if it's to fight with him in his previous life, or if he likes to grab and compete with himself. Whatever he likes, he will always meet it by chance, and all of them will be taken by him.

Even Feng turned over and rode on the horse with a wicked smile on his face, holding on to the reins and drinking the horse for a few steps. "Young Master, are you worried that Miss Chu has been snatched away?"

I saw that he blushed and was silent, and shouted loudly, "Drive!" Riding a horse like an arrow off the string, he rushed out first.

"Young master, wait for me~" Lian Feng hurriedly rode his horse to follow.

The two galloped all the way to Hulu Mountain, set up the horses, and with Yi Qing and Xu Yong, they also went to Hulu Mountain to search for Chu Qingruo.

Tonight's Hulu Mountain, the night is exceptionally cold, and the silver-like moonlight sprinkled on the Hulu Mountain looks extraordinarily cold. Such a beautiful night is destined to be a murderous night with a dark moon and high wind.

Chu Qingruo crawled in the cave for a long time, and finally when she felt that her skirt was about to be worn out, a gurgling sound and a light attracted her attention.

"I didn't expect there to be such a big hole in this mountain!" Chu Qingruo drilled out of the hole that had crawled for a long time, holding his sore waist and rubbing his sore knees.

She looked at the cave by the light from a fist-sized hole at the top of the cave.

It is an inverted cauldron with stalagmites on all sides, and in the middle of the cave grows a large, straight stalagmite pillar from top to bottom, and a natural pool of water underneath the bamboo shoots. Inside the pool is a pool of clear water, which looks pure and sweet.

After being thirsty for a whole day, she took out a silver hairpin from her head and put it in the water to try it, and then she took a handful of water and drank it in a big gulp. The sweet water moistened her heart and spleen, and Chu Qingruo let out a satisfied exclamation.

"Who's down there?" A loud shout suddenly came from the small hole on the top of the cave, which startled Chu Qingruo.

"Who are you? I'm trapped in a cave, can you get me out? Chu Qingruo was overjoyed, there was no other way out of this cave except the road she came from, and she was worried about what to do if she returned the same way and met the group of people who were chasing her.

"Woman, it's a woman's voice!" The voices on the top of the cave screamed in fuss, and the sound grew farther and farther away from the entrance of the cave.

"Hey...... You wait...... Can you please help me spread the word, can you ...... Don't ......" Before she could finish her words, the man was already far away. Frustrated, he returned to the pool, sat on the ground and sighed with his knees hugged.

"Where?" There was another human voice in the cave, and it sounded familiar.

"It's in this hole down there!" The person who was scared away just now brought a group of people over and came back, but he didn't know whether it was friend or foe, Chu Qingruo was worried in his heart.

"Miss Chu, are you down there?"

It turned out to be Yi Qing's voice!

Chu Qingruo stood up happily. "It's me, Brother Changyun, is that you?"

There was a cheer from the entrance of the cave that deliberately lowered his voice: "Great, I finally found Miss Chu." ”

"Qingruo, it's me, don't be afraid, we'll dig the hole and find a way to save you!" Yi Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

"You don't need to dig the hole, there is an exit here, that is, on the road up the mountain, the first flat slope, you go there and wait for me."

"Oh? I see, well, we'll be waiting for you at the entrance of the cave over there. ”

Gradually, she saw the entrance of the cave, but before she could rejoice, she heard the sound of blades clashing at the entrance of the cave, and the screams of someone being injured.

What's going on? Could it be that Brother Changyun and the people who kidnapped and pursued them had an encounter?

Pushing aside the grass and quietly looking out, I saw that not far away, a man in gray was standing under a tree protecting Yi Qing, who was embarrassed to find himself, with a knife in one hand to protect his chest, and the other hand was like a hen protecting a chick.

Not far away, there were two groups of people fighting, a group of black-clothed masked men on one side, and a group of soldiers in officer and soldier uniforms on the other.

Aren't those men in black the people who kidnapped them today?

But it doesn't look like it, those masked people seem to have a very clear goal, and they all rush in the direction of Yi Qing as if they don't want to die, and the knife is neat and tidy, without the slightest fancy, it is almost fatal!

Although the highest meaning of fighting is to effectively make the opponent lose the ability to fight or resist in the fastest and shortest time.

But looking at the skills of these people, even if she doesn't know martial arts, she can see at a glance that these people's martial arts are definitely not used to fight, but to kill!

They are killers! Killer of the profession!

Xu is Chu Qingruo had never seen such a scene, and when she saw a soldier being stabbed through the abdomen by a man in black, she still couldn't hold back after all, and let out a subtle exclamation.

The voice was not loud, but it still alarmed the group of men in black. "There's someone in the grass!"

"There are words on it, no one is left, no one is allowed to live!"

"Heh, then I have to blame him (her) for his or her own bad life, kill me!"

A knife that was still bright and had undried blood stains came towards Chu Qingruo in an instant. Yi Qing and Commander Yuan, who was protecting him, couldn't help but pull up their hearts, it seemed that she was going to be affected by them tonight.

"Miss Chu, be careful! (Run!) ）”

Seeing that the sharp blade was getting closer and closer to him, he could almost hear the broken hair on his forehead and the breaking sound when he was cut off, "choking~" A dragon roared, and a purple gold tiger head knife stretched out from the side and blocked the ring knife that was slashing at her.

Chu Qingruo looked up at the knife that saved her in shock, it turned out that the person who saved her was a tall man in his thirties, with a slight beard on his face, and he looked very powerful and fierce.

After the bearded man held up the knife of the man in black, he grinned at Chu Qingruo: "Miss Chu, I'm Xu Yong!" ”

Commander Yuan protected Yi Qing, and cut down two black-clothed people in succession to the grass where Chu Qingruo was hiding.

"Qingruo, it's really good that you're safe and sound!"

Yi Qing was a little excited, although her clothes were a little torn and embarrassed, and her face was black and white like a cat, but fortunately, she was unharmed.

"Master...... Forehead...... Master, if you take Miss Chu down the mountain first, I'll help Vice General Xu break the queen for you! ”

Commander Yuan looked at those men in black who had not been able to attack for a long time, and his heart was restless.

Yi Qing glanced at Chu Qingruo, who was full of nervousness beside him, took her hand without hesitation, and ran down the mountain. "Okay, then be careful yourself!"

The two stumbled all the way down the mountain, and the man in black behind him saw that his target was about to run away.

wanted to chase but was led by Yuan, who had just joined the battle, and Xu Yong, who had already been killed, couldn't get out, and in desperation, he stretched out his hand and whistled a long and loud whistle.

"There are ambushes at the bottom of the mountain!" Yi Qing hatefully looked at the light of the torch that came out of nowhere under the mountain, and smashed his fist on the trunk of the tree and was indignant.

Chu Qingruo was not discouraged, and took his hand in turn, dragging him to the woods on the side of the road and running towards the mountain. "If we can't go down the mountain, then we will run up the mountain, I believe there must be another way down the mountain!"

The two ran towards the mountain, and Chu Qingruo gradually lost his physical strength, and his legs were weak and he fell to the ground.

Yi Qing stretched out his hand to support her, and as soon as he stood up straight, a steel knife with a bloody smell slashed at them from top to bottom with a fierce dark energy.

The secret scream is not good, and as soon as he tilted his head, Yi Qing caught a cold light in the corner of his eye, and it passed by his ear.

Hurriedly pushed Chu Qingruo away from his side, rolled on the ground twice in a row, and narrowly avoided the knife.

Yi Qing got up and pulled Chu Qingruo forward, but after running a few steps, another man in black came in front of him, holding a knife at him.
