In the night, Xie Fenghua paused and took a deep breath.

The breath penetrated into the lungs, with the cold of the night and the smell of blood, very faint, and if you didn't pay attention to it, you would ignore it.

That's the breath of blood!

When this realization came into his mind, Xie Fenghua shuddered, and his eagle-like sharp eyes slowly swept through the dark night, secretly thinking about countermeasures.

She hadn't been gone for long, and if someone did, there was a good chance that they would be watching her whereabouts and staggering her as much as possible.

And the scope of her activities is in the north of Putuo Temple, and judging from the distribution of the entire convoy, the other party is very likely to start from the south.

To the south, it was the home of the Imperial Guards.

From the south to the north......

Du Pingfei!

Xie Fenghua's mind moved, and his body flashed, and he flashed to the dark place next to him. She didn't stop, her figure nimbly navigated through the darkness, one moment still in place, the next moment she was far away.

And at the moment when she flashed, there was also a sound of wind in the dark at the same time, a little chaotic, and it followed.

Xie Fenghua didn't pause and went straight to the meditation room where Du Pingfei was!

The wind was whistling, the clothes were hunting, and the wheezing was as light as silk. She knew that someone was following her, and when she passed by in the darkness, she picked a leaf and a stone with her hand, and threw it behind her, and from time to time there were screams......

When she arrived at the meditation room where Du Pingfei was, she could no longer hear the movement behind her.

The smell of blood was thick between her snorts, and as soon as she landed, she walked to the door in three steps and two steps.

As soon as he pushed the door open, Sen's cold cold light pierced his cheeks, and a pair of vicious and bloodthirsty eyes were also reflected.

Xie Fenghua dodged, pulled out the soft sword from his waist, first wrapped around the blade, and then flipped his foot in mid-air and kicked it in the back.

The man staggered forward, and the next moment, the sword pierced through his chest, and his body stiffened, and he fell straight to the ground.

When I looked closely, I found that it was a small novice.

Xie Fenghua was anxious in his heart, and shouted Du Pingfei in a low voice. However, he didn't get any response, and his heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

After taking two more steps, he saw Yuehe lying in a pool of blood, with a stab in the abdomen and blood gushing out.

She walked over quickly, sniffed, and quickly clicked a few acupuncture points with her fingers to stop the bleeding. He took out some gold sore medicine from his bosom and sprinkled it on the injured part of his abdomen.

Xu had long known that an accident would happen, and she also had medicine on her body at any time, and the current action of applying medicine was not light, which directly made Yuehe wake up in pain.

"Where's the Queen?" Xie Fenghua said urgently.

Yuehe recognized her and grabbed her hand violently, "Save Niangniang...... Save the Mother...... cough cough cough ......"

Before she could finish speaking, she had already coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Blood flowed down from the corners of her lips, making her face more and more pale and lifeless!

Xie Fenghua gave her a little true qi, first stabilized her pulse, and then asked repeatedly: "Where is the queen?" You tell me before I can save her!" ”

Yuehe raised her hand with difficulty and pointed in the direction of the window.

Turning his head to look, Xie Fenghua's eyes sank, and he hurriedly stuffed a bottle of gold sore medicine into Yuehe's hand, and said solemnly: "I will save your master, but I can only leave you behind." For the sake of your master, you must try your best to live! You know? ”

Yuehe's eyes were a little dilated, but he still understood her words and nodded on the spot.

Seeing this, Xie Fenghua hurriedly got up and jumped out of the window.

Outside the window was a forest, and a mountain road stretched forward, ending in darkness.

Xie Fenghua jumped onto the mountain road, and by the moonlight, he could see that there were many footprints on the mountain road, large or small, and it was chaotic.

She followed those footprints and ran forward, the faint smell of blood lingering in her nose, her heart sank, and her steps sped up a little.

Along the way, the footprints on the mountain road were still messy, and she was relieved that she didn't find any corpses. But she also knew that she had to find Du Pingfei as soon as possible, otherwise life and death would be unpredictable.

The further you go, the narrower the mountain path becomes, and the deeper the vegetation becomes. Thorns grew on the side of the road, covering the entire road.

Further, there is no way!

Xie Fenghua took the soft sword, brushed aside the thorns that stood in the way, and called in a low voice: "Queen Mother-"

"The Queen—"

In the darkness, the further she went, the more desperate she became.

There are thorns here, and no matter how cautious she is, she has been scratched several times. And Du Pingfei has no skills, he has to deal with the situation on the road, and he has to avoid pursuit, how can he escape?

Where is this man now?

At this moment, a wave of remorse sprouted in her heart. If she knew that someone would come to sneak attack, she should have stayed by Du Pingfei's side every step of the way.

Otherwise, why would it have gotten so bad?

Just as he was thinking this, a gust of wind blew, bringing a strong smell of blood. Xie Fenghua's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly walked up against the wind.

When she saw the scene in front of her, she paused, swept her figure, and disappeared.

This is a slope in the mountain forest, and on the way uphill, there are corpses of different costumes lying horizontally. The fighting here had apparently stopped, and the blood had almost flowed into a river of blood, descending the slope like a moving blood snake.

Xie Fenghua tapped the corpse on his toes, and swept towards the top of the slope with light skills.

looked around, but didn't find Du Pingfei's figure.

Her gaze slowly drifted from the corpses, and she kicked around several times.

Suddenly, a burning smell came to her nose, and she rubbed her nose with some discomfort, followed the smell, only to find another corpse lying on the ground.

At this time, she finally discovered the small cave hidden in the dark bushes.

In addition to the pile of corpses facing the entrance of the cave, there are also several haystacks around it, and when you look at it in the moonlight, you can faintly see the traces of burning.

She was overjoyed, and whispered as she removed the trees that were blocking the entrance to the cave.

"Uhhh

A cold snow light burst out from behind the cave.

Xie Fenghua reacted very quickly, sideways to dodge the attack of the light, grabbed it again, and dragged the people inside out!

Hearing a plop, a tall figure staggered out, and when he fell to the ground, Xie Fenghua saw that face, and immediately said happily: "Qi Lei, it's me!" ”

She took a handful of Qi Lei and buffered his forward momentum, until he was able to stabilize his body, and then repeated: "Qi Lei!" What about the Queen? Why are you alone? ”

Qi Lei thought he was hallucinating, grabbed his ears, and when he turned his head to see Xie Fenghua, he almost didn't jump up, "Commander Xie, you're finally here!" If you don't come again, we'll all be burned to death!" ”

"We? Fire? Xie Fenghua was stunned, and combined with the half-burning haystacks placed around, he instantly understood what had happened before.

She couldn't help but chuckle in her heart, and she hurriedly said, "What about the queen?" Have you seen her? ”

"Ahem...... Hongu ...... Hongu is here ......."

A hoarse cough sounded in my ears. followed the sound, but saw that Du Pingfei was pushing aside the waist-high trees in front of him and slowly walked out of the cave.

Xie Fenghua hurriedly greeted her and helped her to the open area, only to see that her dress had been covered with a layer of black ash, and even her face was white and black.

The bright light swept around her, and Xie Fenghua finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At first glance, she didn't have much external injuries, but she was besieged and burned before, and her spirit was a little weak.

Since they weren't sure if the killer would turn back, they didn't dare to stay longer, so Xie Fenghua carried Du Pingfei on his back and left quickly on the mountain path.

Du Pingfei lay on Xie Fenghua's back, feeling the ups and downs of the mountain rush, and his tense body suddenly slowly relaxed.

It was at this time that she had the opportunity to ask, "Xie Fenghua, where did you go just now?" If it hadn't been for Qi Lei's timely appearance to stop him and bring the palace out, the palace would have been killed by that little novice a long time ago! ”

Xie Fenghua was stunned, and his steps were a little staggering.

This is, settle accounts after the fall?

She was already ashamed, and she didn't refute her for a while, only apologized: "I'm sorry!" After settling the Imperial Guards with me, I went out for a walk, and got lost for a while. When you return, rush to your accommodation, only to find that you are gone. ”

Du Pingfei suddenly shouted out emotionally, "This palace is looking for you to protect the safety of this palace." If there is anything wrong in this palace, can you save everything by saying sorry? ”

At this moment, her voice was hoarse and unpleasant, and there was a little tremor and horror in the screams caused by the tearing of her vocal cords.

That's the emotional release of the rest of your life!

It was rare that Xie Fenghua didn't refute her, just quietly listened to the low roar and howl, feeling her fear of a desperate situation.

It wasn't until she gradually calmed down that Xie Fenghua turned her head and asked about Qi Lei.

It was at this time that she realized how tragic the two had been hunted down.

In the elaboration and supplementation of that sentence, she knew that Du Pingfei's Zen door was knocked open by Xiao Shami, and Yuehe bore the brunt of the knife in the abdomen.

And at that moment, Yuehe screamed out, but she reminded Du Pingfei in time, so that she could jump out of the window as soon as possible, hide in the trees in the night, and avoid the pursuit of Xiao Shami.

After that, Qi Lei came over, found Du Pingfei, and fled with her to the mountains and forests.

But they didn't want to, those killers couldn't find Du Pingfei, so they searched in the mountains and forests behind the meditation room. Searching row by row, the two people hiding in the cave were finally discovered.

Those people wanted to capture them alive, but Qi Lei reacted very quickly and had good skills, so he relied on the advantages of the cave to kill those killers who rushed forward.

After several battles, there were a lot of corpses piled up in front of the cave.

Those killers couldn't get a bargain, and they weren't willing to let it go, so they came up with a way to burn it.

"Later, someone came to your rescue?" Xie Fenghua thought of the corpses on the slope, but he understood a little in his heart.

Qi Lei said as he walked: "You are right. Just when we thought we were about to burn to death, someone suddenly came to the rescue and lured the killers away. So we were able to wait in the cave until now. ”

"That's the person Xiao Yao arranged for you?" Xie Fenghua thought about it for a while, and asked Du Pingfei behind him.

"You say yes, that is." Du Pingfei turned his head and found a comfortable position.

She was tired now, and after a night of terrified flight, she was finally able to relax completely. This back is slender but full of warmth, and she leans against her face, and her heart is stable for no reason.

Sensing her small movements, Xie Fenghua's body straightened for a moment, but he quickly swept over it, thinking about the next countermeasures.

Qi Lei was exploring the way ahead, asking her a word or two from time to time, and she also gave a simple answer.

When it came to the Royal Forest Army, both of them were silent for a moment, and then they heard Xie Fenghua say: "Among these people, you are the only one who escaped?" ”

Qi Lei was silent for a moment and nodded, "It's just me." These people's methods are so powerful that they even think of poisoning the fast. In the past few days, I happened to have an upset stomach, and I didn't eat those fasting meals, but I escaped. ”

"I was negligent. My bad! If you knew that someone would take advantage of this opportunity, you should have been more vigilant and not run around. Xie Fenghua had a depressed breath in her chest, and she couldn't spit it out, which made her extremely uncomfortable.

It was something that I had thought of for a long time.

But she didn't expect these people to start so quickly.

From the time they walked into Putuo Temple to the time they settled down, it was less than an hour, and the other party had already done a series of things such as poisoning and killing.

The timing is really good!

At this time, Du Pingfei suddenly asked, "My two maidservants, can you see them?" ”

"I saw the moon lotus." Xie Fenghua replied.

Du Pingfei continued to ask her, "How is she?" ”

"There was a wound in the abdomen, but the person was alive. I only had time to stop the bleeding and threw a bottle of gold sore medicine for her. As for whether she can survive it, it depends on her creation. Xie Fenghua thought of the girl who was loyal to the Lord, and his eyes sank a little.

Du Pingfei was silent, and asked about the whereabouts of Fenghe.

Xie Fenghua could only say that he didn't know.

For a moment, both of them fell silent.

Because he couldn't see the expression of the person behind him clearly, Xie Fenghua was also a little apprehensive in his heart, and couldn't help but comfort her, "Don't worry too much." Now that the Putuo Temple has been cleared, those killers should not go back. They also escaped, right? ”

Du Pingfei didn't speak.

The breath between the snorts is dry and fragrant, different from the fat powder taste of ordinary women. At first she was soothed by this breath, and her heart settled down; At this moment, when I thought of that poignant reminder, I realized that the smell of blood seemed to be filled with my nose.

Rich and pungent, it taught her to be impossible to ignore.

She suddenly sniffed and said in a nasal voice: "They are here to protect the palace, so they will encounter misfortune!" And this is what you should have done! ”

Xie Fenghua pursed his lips and did not speak.

She knew she was guilty, and she couldn't defend anything. If you don't run around, you just stay around the meditation room, and you may not end up in such a situation.

Now, more than 100 elite people have been poisoned and put down by those people; And the person who should have been protected by her has encountered a life and death escape this time, and she can't escape the blame!

"Xie Er, you remember! This is what you owe Hongu! Du Pingfei pulled up the clothes behind her back, and said in a vague tone, but with a bit of forbearance, "If there is anything wrong with them, then you owe them too!" ”

Xie Fenghua sighed secretly, but said, "Don't worry! I'll remember! ”

The conversation between these two people is really not polite.

And Qi Lei listened from the sidelines, and even felt the hidden murderous aura! He glanced at the two people suspiciously, and had to interrupt, "Commander Xie, where are we going next?" ”

When it came to business, Xie Fenghua also straightened his expression, looked ahead and said, "Get out of this mountain forest first." I've left a signal, and when our people catch up, I'll sneak back to Tianjing. ”

"But this mountain forest is so big......" Qi Lei couldn't help frowning.

"Big has to go out too." Xie Fenghua frowned, and said as he walked, "If my memory is correct, at the foot of this mountain forest, it should be a Zhuangzi where farmers gather. Before you reach the Zhuangzi, you pray that we won't encounter those killers again. ”

Hearing her say this, Qi Lei's heart suddenly went up and down, and he said uncertainly: "It shouldn't be, right?" ”

"It's hard to say." Xie Fenghua can only be conservative.

The further she went, the more worried she became.

First, this mountain forest is so big, it is not easy to go out. If those killers go and come back, it will be difficult for the three of them to escape with confidence.

Second, although she left a signal, the people who could support her didn't know when they would be able to find her.

Between being caught up by the killer and waiting for one's own people, if you miss the time, the consequences are unimaginable.

Xu was thinking about something, and the three of them fell silent.

In the dark woods, occasional moonlight poured down, illuminating the fast-moving figure, and faintly audible bursts of panting, or short, or long, which made the atmosphere in the forest a little more indescribably tense.

I don't know how long I walked, but I could vaguely see a little starlight at the foot of the mountain, flashing and flashing, like a beacon leading the way!

Xie Fenghua suddenly exhaled, and the depression that had been suffocated all night was finally somewhat relieved.

She glanced at Qi Lei, but saw that he also showed a relieved look on his face, and couldn't help but cheer him up: "Hold on a little longer!" It's coming soon! ”

The terrain between the mountains and forests is complicated, and there are many unknown dangers, so they can only leave as soon as possible if they want to escape.

In contrast, when they arrived at the farm at the foot of the mountain, they could find a fast horse and gallop back after a simple disguise.

However, the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel......

At this moment, the surrounding air seemed to be slowly solidifying, and a gust of wind seemed to rise on the tip of the grass, which was different from the soothing nature of the ordinary wind, but with an unprecedented oppressive force.

That's murderous!

Xie Fenghua's face changed greatly, and before he could remind Qi Lei to be careful, he saw him snort, his body suddenly shook, and he threw himself in front of her.

In the dark night, an arrow came, which was blocked by Qi Lei with a sword, and after deflecting in one direction, it was silently inserted into the ground.

The white feather at the end of the arrow was shaken a few times, and the moonlight poured down, revealing a mess!

When Xie Fenghua realized that something was wrong, his whole body had already jumped into the air, and flipped in mid-air to avoid the attack, and at this moment, when he saw the killers rushing over, a fear suddenly arose in his heart.

These people are running from the direction of the foot of the mountain!

So they can't go down.

If you don't go down the mountain, where will you go?

"Go to the left. There are exits there. Du Pingfei said suddenly, "This palace has been here before, and I have asked about the terrain here. Since those killers rushed up from the direction of the foot of the mountain, then we can't go down the mountain. For today's time, I don't expect to rush back to Tianjing, so let's save my life first! ”

She said so many words at once, and although her breathing was a little unsteady, there was no panic in her words.

After Xie Fenghua's jumping and jumping dodge just now, she was no longer nervous, but had a little more indescribable experience.

The escape on the back is definitely the first time in my life!

Xie Fenghua suddenly made up his mind, took out the soft sword on his waist and swept it, temporarily sweeping those arrows down, "Qi Lei, go!" ”

"You go! I'll catch up later! Qi Lei roared, seeing that someone was about to pounce on Xie Fenghua, he hurriedly stabbed the sword in his hand and pierced the man's waist.

"Don't go yet!" He looked back and drank.

Xie Fenghua didn't dare to stay any longer, and flew to the left with Du Ping on his back to escape.

There were people behind him, but not much, Xie Fenghua eliminated those people while running, and after a while, no one behind him could catch up.

"Let's take a break!" Du Pingfei looked around, a light flashed in her eyes, the breeze blew, her sleeves seemed to move, and something vaguely rushed into the night.

Xie Fenghua didn't stop, still walked forward, "Do you recognize here?" ”

"Recognize!" Du Pingfei pursed his chapped lips and said, "In the past, the palace would come here from time to time to pray for blessings, although the palace did not believe in Buddhism, but it had to come!" After a long time, he asked Xiao Yao to check the surrounding terrain, but he didn't expect that it would come in handy one day. ”

Xie Fenghua listened quietly and asked, "Then you let me come in this direction, but what is the way to escape?" ”

Du Pingfei said: "Not far ahead, there is a suspended pontoon bridge, and under the bridge is an abyss. On the opposite side of the bridge is the road to Yunzhou! ”

Unexpectedly, Xie Fenghua frowned, puzzled: "Where do you want to go?" ”

She asked "you", Du Pingfei listened, and couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and forced a smile: "You are so smart, you must be able to guess where this palace is going, right?" ”

"Do you want to go to Yunzhou?" Xie Fenghua thought for a while, and then said, "Although you and I both know that this time the chase is from Concubine Tang Xian, but you can't go directly to someone's lair, right?" ”

"You don't understand!" Du Pingfei replied perfunctorily.

She naturally knew that Concubine Tang Xian would not let go of this opportunity, and she had made corresponding preparations before coming here.

To put it simply, isn't this her chance?

Moreover, she had secretly left a signal just now, as long as she walked to the opposite side of the pontoon, she would no longer have to worry about her life!

As soon as she thought of this, her heart suddenly moved, and she squinted at the person in front of her.

It's not far from the pontoon bridge, and it's not impossible for her to walk over it.

Then, the existence of this Xie Er is dispensable......

Countless images flashed through her mind, and before she knew it, the hairpin on her head had been plucked off by her and held it in her hand......
