() Bai Rong touched the place where his beard was pasted, and he didn't notice that his heart was beating faster for a moment.

Leaving the county seat, they could only stay in the dense woods and live a life of hiding.

Perhaps there are plenty of hiding places in the wild, but the lack of people also means that their whereabouts are not easily revealed. But continuing to linger outside is not a long-term solution, and it seems that there is always a way for their pursuers to find them.

Although no matter where they go, their final destination is the capital, but there is still a long way to go from the capital, and the pursuit along the way continues, even if they arrive in the capital alive, can they enter the high gate?

More and more troubles arise, and they need to think carefully about how to take each step in order to ensure that they are safe and sound.

Hiding aimlessly for two days, the two of them had no idea where to go next.

"Where the hell are we going next?" Bai Rong didn't know how many times he had asked this question.

And Gu Ziyuan had only one answer.

"I don't know yet."

Bai Rong also wanted to take Gu Ziyuan to a less dangerous place, but how could it be so easy, you must know that they were being searched everywhere with portraits now.

After being silent for a long time, as if he had made some major decision, Gu Ziyuan lowered his voice: "Next town...... Why don't we separate for a while, it's too dangerous for you to follow me, they're coming for me. ”

To be honest, he didn't want to be separated from Bai Rong until he had to, the reason why he let Bai Rong follow him until now was not only because he admired her, but also because he had a certain confidence in his martial arts.

He thinks he has what it takes to protect Bai Rong.

But now that determination is starting to waver again, can he really protect her from retreating all the time? When he was injured before, if he hadn't taken care of her, he probably wouldn't have stood here.

Hearing his words, Bai Rong felt a little unhappy in her heart, in her opinion, she and Gu Ziyuan had established a deep friendship until now, and his words were like she could be thrown away after using them.

"Then you're not afraid that they will take advantage of my loneliness and threaten you after they catch me? We're ants on a rope now, we have to walk together, you are in charge of fighting, I'm in charge of making plans, it's not so easy for them to kill us. ”

White as much as possible

Let her tone be indifferent, she didn't want to look back at him, she didn't even notice that in the words she confided, she inadvertently put herself in an important position in Gu Ziyuan's heart.

Unconsciously quickening her pace, she lifted a curtain of waterfall leaves, and the next view made her eyes light up.

Surrounded by shrubs and trees, a leaf gently falls on the surface of the lake, creating small but beautiful ripples, like a secluded paradise, secluded and tranquil, yet full of life.

Seeing this lake, Bai Rong was pleasantly surprised: "Great, there is such a hidden place here." ”

Gu Ziyuan walked to the lake with his sword and observed, and after confirming that there was no other danger in this lake and the surroundings, he squatted down and drank a few sips of lake water, the clear and sweet water moistened his lungs, and he felt a lot refreshed in an instant.

At this time, Bai Rong's cheeks warmed slightly: "That, I want to take a bath, can you avoid it?" ”

Since leaving the county, she hasn't washed her body for two days, she can't stand the sweat on her body so sticky and greasy, and she can't miss the opportunity to wash it.

Gu Ziyuan froze for a moment when he heard this, and quickly stood up and turned around to go out: "Then I'll watch around." ”

After a pause, he promised again: "Don't worry, I won't peek." ”

As everyone knows, the side of his cheeks was slightly red, and he naturally didn't dare to look at it, but when he thought that Bai Rong would bathe in this lake, his heartbeat couldn't stop turbulent, it was the woman he cared about.

Punching the stump, he took a deep breath, and finally regained his calm mood and went on patrol honestly.

Bai Rong on the other side was not worried that someone would come to peek, she was even more afraid that something strange in the lake would suddenly come out and attack her, so she washed her body in a panic, and immediately got dressed and went out to find Gu Ziyuan.

"Whew, it's much more comfortable." Bai Rong sighed, once upon a time, even taking a bath could become a luxury?

After washing away the discomfort on her body and feeling that her body was much lighter, she turned to ask Gu Ziyuan: "Why don't you go and wash it too, otherwise there may not be a place to bathe next, I'll wait for you outside." ”

"Then don't go far." Gu Ziyuan did not forget to advise.

Bai Rong nodded solemnly: "Well, I know, I won't peek at you either." ”

Gu Ziyuan reluctantly lifted the leaf curtain and went to the lake.

didn't run around, Bai Rong just sat down and waited, thinking about what to find to fill his stomach at night, and where to have the strength to hurry if he didn't eat enough.

In the lake, Gu Ziyuan bathed in the cold lake water, closed his eyes and pondered, suddenly a sharp dart shot over, he quickly turned his head to dodge, the dart whistled past his ears, and the sound of cutting through the air was like a sharp claw.

Then he picked up the stones in the water and bounced them with his strength, and at this time he quickly went ashore and put on his clothes, and put on his coat and ran into the forest.

"Hold on to me!" Scooping Bai Rong into his arms, Gu Ziyuan fled from here with a quick effort.

His clothes were hurriedly put on, looking a little loose, and the large open chest was attached to Bai Rong's face, and she had no time to care, only worried about whether the assassins behind her would catch up.

However, the black-clothed man behind him was in hot pursuit, and he had been attacking them with darts, although Gu Ziyuan's martial arts had recovered as before, and he was comfortable dodging this hidden weapon, but now that he had brought a person, his speed began to slow down a little.

When they ran to a cliff, the man in black had already followed and surrounded them, and there was no way back.

"What to do, it's a dead end." Bai Rong became nervous.

"Don't be afraid." Gu Ziyuan could only put Bai Rong down to protect him, drew his sword out of its sheath, and blocked the assassin's hidden weapons.

Those black-clothed people seemed to have learned wisely, and instead of rushing up to confront Gu Ziyuan head-on, they kept attacking frequently from a distance, trapping them, and waiting until they didn't have the physical strength to attack.

Just when Gu Ziyuan was about to be unable to parry this continuous attack, with a pleasant whistle, a group of masked men who came from nowhere instantly surrounded the black-clothed assassins, and their movements were vigorous, killing them all.

One of the masked men jumped down from the tree, walked up to Gu Ziyuan, arched his hand, and said respectfully, "Gu Gongzi, Miss Bai, are you okay?" ”

But Gu Ziyuan did not let his guard down because of this, he wondered: "Who are you?" ”

And the masked man was not ambiguous, and explained directly: "We are sent by Lord Song to protect you, and we will appear when necessary." ”
