Chapter 322: Missed

Seeing several figures rushing from different directions, Zhu Qiming unfolded the Nine Flowers and Three Illusions, which could escape the shroud of the sword light and sword shadow, and suddenly felt that the sound of the sword roaring and sword behind him suddenly rose, and there was also the sound of breaking the air in his ears.

After a quick glance, I saw the appearance of the other party clearly, there were six people on the other side, four long swords and two long knives, all of them were burly middle-aged men, and their outfits should be people from the rivers and lakes.

Hmph, with the crowd outnumbered, lurking and sneak attack, there is no morality at all! Zhu Qiming immediately equated them with the thieves, and before he could settle down on his body, he twisted his waist and shoulders, and made a move to stab the bureaucrats, which was extremely powerful, but when he saw the sword light, the man with the knife who ran in front was hit by the sword in his right shoulder, and the long knife flew out of his hand.

Putting away the sword and looking back at the place where the shout sounded, he actually caught a glimpse of the figure of Ling Xudao Chief! At this moment, Ling Xudao took off the arm of a spear-wielding man with one move, repelled it, and immediately rushed towards this side.

Zhu Qiming was ecstatic in his heart, and when he turned around, he saw five swords coming together, he shook his spirit, his body turned, and the long sword swung towards the sword like a spiritual snake, and suddenly, the sound of metal impact sounded one after another. In the next moment, Ling Xudao's long sword was full of rainbow-like momentum, and thunder and lightning struck.

After two miserable howls, the other three covered their injured arms and shoulders, and together with the other three, they ran out more than ten zhang away in a blink of an eye and disappeared into the forest.

Zhu Qiming and Ling Xudao were back to back, concentrating on vigilance.

"Dao Chief, where is Sister Xi Yao?" Zhu Qiming said eagerly.

"For the sake of Your Highness, she is suffering!" Ling Xuan Dao Chang pursed his lips angrily, "That's it, she's okay, Poor Dao probably owed a debt to His Royal Highness in her previous life, and the future Princess Yue actually wanted to be guarded by Poor Dao, how can this be reasonable!" โ€

Is she suffering? Zhu Qiming thought that Daoist Ling Xuan was talking angrily, so he smiled and said: "Hey, hey, Xiao Wang just thought about it, and felt that Lingxiao Palace couldn't be repaired, and a few palaces had to be added." After a pause, he smiled, "Dao Chief, Xiao Wang wants to take Sister Xi Yao away." โ€

Ling Xudao Dao Chang's face widened at first, and then frowned, "These Jianghu people are not low in martial arts, why are they here?" โ€

"According to Xiao Wang, of course they are here to take Xiao Wang's life! If they fail to murder Xiao Wang, they may hold Xi Yao's sister hostage. โ€

"Miss Lu is inconvenient to ยทยทยทยทยทยท" Ling Xudao endured it, and finally concealed the news that Lu Xiyao was injured by jumping off the cliff and was unable to move, "No, the thief's situation is unknown, it's too risky to let her appear at this time!" โ€

"Xiao Wang lured away the thief." Dropping these words, Zhu Qiming ran towards the white horse.

"Your Highness beware!" Daoist Ling Xuan suddenly remembered his group of female disciples, "Eh, what about Xuanhui and them?" โ€

"I've returned to the capital!"

Zhu Qiming stepped on the horse's back, rode the horse and ran more than ten zhang away, and suddenly heard the sound of the Taoist rope around him, he urged the horse to gallop, turned over a gentle slope, and galloped into the valley.

In the woods on both sides of the valley, many figures could be faintly seen, as if they were outflanking this side in shifts. Zhu Qiming really wanted to go to that worldly palace, summon hundreds of warriors, and command the team to have a hearty battle, but after only a few moments, he dispelled this idea.

The new thieves are good at martial arts, and 800 warriors will play hide and seek with them in the mountains and forests, and they will definitely suffer heavy casualties. What's more, the thieves may find out of the place where they leave the palace, which will trap the king in a disadvantageous situation!

Thinking back then, when Concubine Wu said that "leaving the palace looks like a temple", he had an epiphany in his heart, it turned out that the place that was suspected of being a temple was just a suspicious formation, and it didn't matter if it was necessary to expose it! And the paradise he just left is the real secret realm, where there must be many unknown secrets, and no one must peep into it!

He saw the terrain around him, calculated the easiest way to get out, slowed down his horse, and galloped back to his horse.

Running out of Lixu, turning into a valley on the south side, you will see that the east and west sides are full of cliffs, and there is no possibility for the thieves to gather here!

There was a faint shout behind him, Zhu Qiming accelerated and galloped, and then moved away from the noisy place, listened with his ears, and found that there was no abnormal movement around.

With Lu Xiyao's safety in mind, he relied on the sense of direction he had formed earlier, chose a gentle slope to climb the low hill on the west side, and followed the forest path all the way west.

About half an hour later, he was back in front of the flower. There were still traces of a fight on the ground, and the grass was a mess.

The strange cry echoed in his ears, and he turned and dismounted, and ran quickly towards the place where the cry sounded.

The eye touched a roofless wooden shed, in which there were two narrow couches, and there was a familiar smell in the air, but it was empty.

He couldn't help but feel sad. The sword was put into the sheath, and at the moment when he lowered his head, he caught a glimpse of a stone on the couch on the right side, and a piece of red paper seemed to be pressed under the stone, and the exposed corner was dancing in the wind. I moved the stone closely, took the paper and took a look, and found that it was actually a small red note left by Lu Xiyao!

"I've left with the Taoist, take care. Don't read it. โ€

His nose was sore, he bent down and sat down slowly on the couch, thinking that the place where he was before was only a stone's throw away from the wooden shed, but he still missed the opportunity to meet Xiyao's sister, and his heart suddenly felt sad.

It would have been nice to come a little earlier!

Suddenly, he heard the sound of hooves in the distance, and the crisp sound of the branches breaking one after another, Zhu Qiming got up, and wanted to draw his sword, and at a glance he caught a glimpse of the figures of many Jinyi Guard Captains and Long Xiang Guards, so he let go of his hand and fixed there.

The lieutenants of the brocade guards stationed their horses one after another, looking straight at this side in a daze. A man rode a horse out of the crowd, caught a glimpse of Zhu Qiming, and hurriedly reined in the horse.

That person is Ma Shun, the commander of the Jinyi Guard!

I don't know who whispered in the crowd: "It's His Royal Highness King Yue!" โ€

"Nonsense!" Someone in the crowd shouted, Zhu Qiming followed the prestige, and saw that it was Wen Yunjue, a thousand households of Jinyi Wei. Wen Yunjue paused and continued: "How could His Royal Highness King Yue be alone in the barren mountains and forests? โ€

Ma Shun nodded with satisfaction.

A lieutenant galloped in, "Report! The commander found more than 100 unknown people on the north side. โ€

"Quickly send a message to Long Xiangwei and let them drive away all the idlers!"

"Yes!"

After the captain who was waiting to be reported left, Ma Shun's eyes flashed with a hint of deep meaning, "You can't set off a bloody storm here!" โ€

Taking advantage of this moment, Zhu Qiming's mind turned and re-imagined Ma Shun's intention.

Ma Shun's first mission is naturally to try his best to prevent a possible bloody battle here, in case the situation gets out of control and the wildfire eventually spreads to the temple!

Ma Shun also has another mission, that is, to witness the so-called "secret meeting of the two kings"! He must have followed the whereabouts of the false servant king, so he was sure of it.

On the south side, there was a faint sound of hooves, and from the sound of hooves, the person who came should be a mile away. I saw Ma Shun turn his head to look south, stroke his beard and chuckle a few times, and then move his eyes to look at Zhu Qiming.

Zhu Qiming was shocked in his heart, and a deep question flashed in his mind: Could the dignified Jinyi Guard Commander let a fake servant king fool him over?
