Qiu Ruxue held the Cold Moon Blade, identified the direction where the woods were located, stepped on the snow, and walked over there, he had walked the rivers and lakes for many years, and had experienced too many harsh environments, that is, when life and death were staggered, it was also a few life and death, and his mentality was very calm, but at this time, he was really a little confused, secretly thinking that Ma Zhongheng was really in trouble?

In fact, from the moment he left the capital, Qiu Ruxue knew very well that a life-and-death escape kicked off, and it was impossible for the prince to let the king of Qi leave, the king of Qi was in the capital, which was under the control of the prince, and it would not pose too much threat to the prince, but as long as he left the capital, it would inevitably become the prince's biggest obstacle.

The prince is scheming, has endured for many years, and now he is in power, and he is ruthless, so it is naturally impossible for his biggest threat to escape easily, and as the prince of the empire, there has never been a shortage of masters around the prince, and Qiu Ruxue believes that the moment the prince gets the news, he must have sent a large number of masters to follow and kill.

It is not easy for him to explain the situation to the king, but he knows that as long as he does not arrive at Shuoquan, the risk exists every moment, and he has tried his best to cover up the whereabouts of the king of Qi along the way, but there should be no shortage of good followers under the prince's hands, although in terms of the old cloth maze, Qiu Ruxue has made the most careful arrangements, but there is no guarantee that the prince's people will not catch up.

The forest was actually not far from the Land Temple, Qiu Ruxue didn't take too long, he arrived outside the forest, inside the woods, covered with snow, the snow was piled up on the branches, and from time to time there was a creaking sound, and occasionally there was a crisp sound of branches breaking, and the resin was overwhelmed by the snow and was crushed down.

Qiu Ruxue maintained absolute vigilance, clenched the Cold Moon Blade in his hand, and stepped lightly into the woods, among the woods, it was dim, and there was still heavy snow in the sky.

He watched the four roads, listened to the eight winds, and in the dark night, the realization was not very good, but Qiu Ruxue soon found that under a big tree not far from him, there was a person lying on the ground, and looking at the person's outfit, it seemed to be Ma Zhongheng.

Qiu Ruxue was slightly surprised, and looked around, but there was no trace, while observing the movements around him, he cautiously and lightly approached Ma Zhongheng.

Ma Zhongheng seemed to be dead, lying on the ground, motionless, like a corpse.

"Horse Commander ......!" Qiu Ruxue approached Ma Zhongheng's side, and still did not relax his observation of the surroundings, Ma Zhongheng was born as a military general and had a strong body, it was impossible for his body to support him and fell here, it was very likely that he was attacked by someone and could knock down Ma Zhongheng, so of course the enemy would not be a general.

Qiu Ruxue screamed twice, the man was motionless, Qiu Ruxue squatted down, stretched out his hand and turned over the man, and suddenly the cold light flashed in front of him, and the sword light was practiced, Qiu Ruxue was shocked: "It's not good, ...... fooled!" ”

……

……

Although the King of Qi was very sleepy, Ma Zhongheng suddenly disappeared, Qiu Ruxue came out to look for it, and the land temple was cold and dark, which made him really unable to continue sleeping.

The cold wind howling outside was like a ghost's howl, thinking that Ling Shuang was just a weak woman, and Lu Haosheng was even more of a literati, King Qi suddenly felt an extreme sense of insecurity, and couldn't help but pull out his knife, hold it in his hand, and asked softly, "Ling Shuang, how are you?" Isn't it cold? ”

Ling Shuang just said "um" softly, and didn't say much, but her voice was very weak, but King Qi heard that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Ling Shuang, are you uncomfortable?" ”

"No...... Lord, you don't have to worry about ......! Ling Shuang's voice was very weak, and she was weak.

King Qi couldn't help but stretch out his hand, it was already on Ling Shuang's forehead, Ling Shuang's body trembled, but he didn't dodge, King Qi only felt that Ling Shuang's forehead was hot, and exclaimed: "Ling Shuang, you have a fever!" ”

Ling Shuang said weakly: "Maybe it's been too long and I'm a little tired, don't worry ......!" ”

In order to reach the northwest smoothly, he hurried continuously on the way, and took some remote roads, not only failed to find a comfortable place to sleep well, but even the food was dealt with casually, and the dry food brought with him was usually eaten without heating.

This kind of high-intensity rush, don't say that Ling Shuang is a weak woman, even a man may not be able to bear it, his heart suddenly became anxious, without saying a word, he got up, took off his cotton jacket, and suddenly felt a cold, but still covered Ling Shuang with the cotton jacket, Ling Shuang felt that King Qi covered the cotton jacket, and hurriedly said: "Lord, you can't ...... like this!" ”

King Qi said: "Ling Shuang, don't speak, rest first, and when Qiu Ruxue finds Ma Zhongheng, we will immediately go to the doctor...... Lu Changshi, Ling Shuang has a fever, what do you say to do? He was in a hurry.

Lu Haosheng said helplessly: "Lord Wang, we don't have any medicine on us, this is also a poor and remote place, it is not easy to find a doctor, we can only wait for Qiu Daxia to come back first." ”

At this moment, the knock on the door sounded, Lu Haosheng's expression changed suddenly, King Qi had already held the knife, the knock on the door came continuously, Lu Haosheng finally asked in a deep voice: "Who is it?" ”

Ma Zhongheng's voice immediately sounded outside: "Lu Changshi, it's me, I'm Ma Zhongheng!" ”

Lu Haosheng listened to the sound of the voice, and breathed a sigh of relief, "You guys are back......!" When he opened the door, the cold wind blew in, and Ma Zhongheng's tall figure had already arrived in the house.

Lu Haosheng saw Ma Zhongheng coming in, but he didn't see Qiu Ruxue behind him, he was puzzled, and asked, "Commander Ma, where is Qiu Daxia?" ”

"Qiu Daxia?" Ma Zhongheng gasped, "Isn't Qiu Daxia here?" ”

"He's gone looking for you." Lu Haosheng suddenly felt that something was wrong, the fire lit up, but it was Ma Zhongheng who had already blown up the fire fold, under the firelight, Lu Haosheng saw that Ma Zhongheng looked quite embarrassed, holding a knife in one hand, and couldn't help asking: "Commander Ma, what happened, why do you look like this?" ”

Ma Zhongheng frowned and said: "Lord Wang, Lu Changshi, the prince's people have already followed, and they are cutting firewood in the woods, and they are meeting their people, and they are leading them away, and after getting rid of them, they will return ......!" ”

King Qi has already changed color: "Prince...... Did the prince's people really catch up? ”

"Exactly." Ma Zhongheng nodded and said: "The situation is very dangerous, I'm afraid that it won't be long before they will come over ......!" ”

"Commander Ma, they found you?"

"Yes, before I entered the woods, I saw a few people coming towards me, and I immediately turned around and lured them away, and finally got rid of their ......!" Ma Zhongheng sighed: "I didn't expect the prince's people to catch up so quickly......!" ”

"How so?" King Qi said: "Along the way, we have been very careful, how can they still catch up with us?" ”

Ma Zhongheng smiled bitterly: "The prince's subordinates are like clouds, and there are many good ...... who are good at tracking!" ”

"That's not right!" Lu Haosheng frowned and said: "Qiu Daxia is very careful all the way, so he is in a maze, no matter how powerful the prince's people are, it is impossible to find them so quickly, as soon as we arrived here, they followed them...... Could it be that their people have been following us all along? ”

"Tailgating us?" King Qi frowned and said, "Why are you following us?" If you really know our traces, why don't you do it and follow behind your back? ”

Lu Haosheng didn't answer, and suddenly asked, "Commander Ma, were the people chasing you thrown away by you?" ”

Ma Zhongheng nodded and said, "It's been thrown away, but they can't find it, and it's likely to turn around and chase here." ”

"Did they talk to you?"

"Talk?" Ma Zhongheng shook his head and said, "With the princelings, what can you say?" ”

Lu Haosheng let out an "oh", thoughtfully, walked slowly towards King Qi, passed by Ma Zhongheng's side, and suddenly shouted, holding a knife in both hands, and slashed down from Ma Zhongheng's back.

Ma Zhongheng reacted very quickly, the big knife was still in mid-air, Ma Zhongheng kicked Lu Haosheng in the lower abdomen, Lu Haosheng screamed, his body retreated, hit the wall, and then planted it forward and fell to the ground.

"Lu Changshi, are you crazy?" Ma Zhongheng shouted coldly.

King Qi and Ling Shuang were also taken aback, and King Qi's eyes showed an unbelievable look, and he reprimanded: "Lu Changshi, you ...... What are you doing here? ”

Lu Changshi struggled to stand up, the corners of his mouth were already bloody, his eyes were cold, and he pointed at Ma Zhongheng, "You...... You traitor! ”

"Traitor?" Ma Zhongheng frowned and said, "Lu Changshi, do you know what you are talking about?" ”

"You didn't answer those people, how do you know that they are princelings?" Lu Changshi sneered: "The route chosen by Qiu Ruxue is very secretive, if there is no traitor, it is impossible for the princelings to follow and chase after him...... Ma Zhongheng, you insisted on staying by the prince's side, it turned out that you were instructed ...... someone! ”

"What the hell are you talking about?" King Qi was a little confused, "Lu Changshi, you said that Ma Zhongheng was instructed by someone?" By whom is he directed? Prince? ”

"Lord Wang, don't you understand it now?" Lu Haosheng said: "The prince wants to transfer the guards of the Qi Palace, but Ma Zhongheng insists on staying in the palace, he knows that he will be implicated if he stays, why does he ignore his future?" ”

Ma Zhongheng sighed: "Lu Changshi, you also stayed, did I stay with ulterior motives, and you stayed to be loyal?" ”

"Ma Zhongheng, you are from Liaodong, and you joined Wu Jingwei when you entered Beijing, who recommended you?" Lu Haosheng sneered: "Red refining electricity sits in Liaodong, many years ago, a group of brave warriors were recommended to enter Beijing, most of these people were selected as Wu Jingwei, you are one of them, your real master, is red refining electricity." He raised his hand to wipe the blood from his mouth, "Chi Liandian has a close relationship with the prince, although you have never had any contact with the prince since you entered Beijing, but all this, I am afraid that you have already premeditated, so that people do not doubt the relationship between you and the prince." ”

Ma Zhongheng sighed and said: "The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, although I am from Liaodong, I am a citizen of Daqin, and my allegiance is to the royal family of Daqin, not the red refining electricity!" ”

"Well said." Lu Haosheng said with a smile: "You are loyal to the prince, so what's going on tonight?" Do you dare to swear to God that you are delayed in returning in order to get rid of the princelings' pursuers? ”

"Why should I swear?" Ma Zhongheng said with a smile: "Lu Changshi, you are also a smart person, but it's a pity that all this is too late to know the Tao, and it is useless......!" Glancing at King Qi, he smiled and said, "Lord Wang, I'm really sorry, my duty is, although you treat me well, I still can't save your life!" ”
