Liang Ji choked after hearing his master's decision.

To be honest, he really didn't understand why their prince was so abnormal today.

Even if Zhao Wenxuan is his friend, it is enough to investigate the case with Dali Temple and their subordinates, why should he be a prince himself?

Besides, Zhao Wenxuan's death was obviously premeditated, and it is very likely that his death was just the beginning, and the murderer's ultimate goal was not necessarily someone else.

Now that the real culprit has not been found, it is more dangerous to show up outside, but the prince of their family is like a person who has nothing to do, and he only brought so many people with him when he went out.

Looking for clues in this kind of place where there is no village and no store, in case something happens on the road, it is really a no-go thing every day, and the ground is not working.

However, Liang Ji just complained in his heart about these words, his own prince had spoken, and he didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and waved at the four people behind him, signaling to continue on his way.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Qin Ran felt that the surroundings were too quiet, as if some danger was coming. So he took Qi Xiao's hand and said, "Do you think this forest is so quiet, it's a little abnormal." ”

"Hmm."

Qi Xiao narrowed his eyes and glanced around: "What do you think is abnormal?" ”

He has practiced martial arts, so he will have some special insight into his surroundings.

He had observed all the way around, and there was nothing unusual around.

However, after being reminded by Qin Ran at this moment, he suddenly found that this forest was indeed too quiet, so quiet that it seemed that even the wind did not dare to blow here, only the sound of a few people around him was left.

"I can't put it into words, I always feel weird." Qin Ran sighed, "Maybe I'm thinking too much, let's go, continue to look inside." ”

"Hmm." Qi Xiao's eyes retracted, and he was about to move to Liang Ji's face, but he suddenly caught a glimpse of a black shadow suddenly flashing behind a big tree not far away.

The shadow was running so fast that he couldn't see whether it was the shadow of a man or the shadow of a beast in the mountains, and if it was a human figure, that man must be very skilled.

Thinking of this, Qi Xiao frowned and glanced at Liang Ji: "Find someone to take a look, is it followed by a tail?" ”

Liang Ji was stunned, his face stiffened for a moment, and then he bowed his head: "Yes, Lord Wang." ”

He then turned and walked over to the four guards who followed behind him and said a few words to them.

In a moment, one of the guards grabbed the sword at his waist and quickly bypassed the other way.

Qin Ran noticed their actions and was a little curious: "Are we being followed?" ”

Qi Xiao shook his head, and his eyebrows were slightly raised: "I'm not sure yet, but it's always right to be careful." ”

Liang Ji quickly walked back to the two: "Lord Wang, Xiaoba has been sent over, let's continue to move forward, or wait here first to see the news?" ”

The more Qi Xiao thought about it, the more he felt that the black shadow he saw just now should be a Taoist figure, and he had some doubts in his heart.

The decision to enter the mountain was only made early this morning, how could their whereabouts be exposed so quickly?

Just as he was wondering, there was a sudden sound of shredding in the surrounding woods.

Originally, I thought it was just a tail targeting, but I didn't expect Hachi to check it out and find that there were dozens of black-clothed people buried in the nearby mountains and forests.

The position of the man in black was exposed, and he simply didn't continue to hide, and a group of people swarmed out and rushed in several directions.

"Protect the prince!"

Liang Ji subconsciously pulled out his long sword and blocked it in front of Qi Xiao and Qin Ran.

As soon as the words fell, Hachi and the other three guards immediately dispersed, and quickly entered a battle state with the black-clothed men who were rushing from all directions.

In an instant, the woods were cracked, with swords and swords, and sonorous sounds.

Qin Ran originally thought that the world she crossed over was a peaceful era, who would have wanted to kill people and sell goods, and this kind of thing really happened in front of her eyes.

The four guards were in good shape, and their hands were up and down, and soon several men in black were killed. However, the opponent had too many people, and the enemy was outnumbered, and the four of them soon fell behind.

"Who are these people?"

Qin Ran was dazzled and looked at everything that suddenly came in front of him, and he didn't have time to think about it more, and one arm was suddenly grabbed tightly by Qi Xiao: "Run." ”

Qin Ran stumbled under his feet, and he also took care of the pain and hypocrisy, and quickly opened his legs and strode forward with Qi Xiao's steps.

There were more and more black-clothed people around, and Liang Ji had to run in front of him for a while to open the way, and then go around behind the two of them to kill the queen.

Even though he was very good, he couldn't compete with the many black-clothed people who kept rushing wildly, and soon he and Qi Xiao and the two of them opened a distance.

"Who are they, how dare they come and assassinate you?" Qin Ran asked as he ran.

Qi Xiao took her arm and ran quickly: "No matter who it is, in short, it's right that the person who comes is not good." ”

There were many forks in the mountain, and the two of them ran to the edge of a cliff in a panic.

There was a dead end ahead, and there were more than a dozen pursuers in the rear, and it was too late to retreat.

It was the first time Qin Ran faced such a tense situation, and he held Qi Xiao's arm tightly and didn't dare to let go for a moment.

"They're not going to kill someone, are they?" Qin Ran stared at the black-clothed man who was running dozens of meters away, his heart almost reaching his throat, "Qi Xiao, I'm still so young, I don't want to die yet." ”

"I can't die." Qi Xiao replied sharply.

"Aren't you good at martial arts, why don't you fight with them?" Qin Ran asked again.

When you're in trouble, it's too handsome to run away, and you don't have the courage of a male protagonist at all.

Qi Xiao also wanted to fight them, but he didn't have a weapon on him, and he was dragging an unarmed Qin Ran by his side, even if he wanted to fight, he had to take care of her life first.

"Long-winded, didn't you see them with knives in their hands?"

After Qi Xiao finished speaking, he pulled her and quickly ran to a small path next to her.

Unexpectedly, before he could run two steps, he was stopped by a man in black.

Qi Xiao subconsciously stepped forward, blocked Qin Ran with his body, and then looked at a few people vigilantly.

This group of black-clothed people obviously came with some premeditation, and all of them are strong in martial arts, Liang Ji and the others don't know what the situation is now, and they were dragged down and couldn't catch up.

If they don't come again, I'm afraid she and Qi Xiao will be attacked by this group of people in black.

Qin Ran was thinking about delaying time, and a thought suddenly popped up in his mind, and said, "Who are you, so bold, you dare to commit murder in broad daylight!" ”

The man in black was not to be outdone: "Don't care who we are, it's not your life anyway!" ”

The implication is that what they want is Qi Xiao's life.

It's worth it!
