Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Enemy
Lu Zhaoling guessed this, and glanced at Shen Fengjiu with some concern.
Do you want to remind him to be more prepared?
She was anxious and wanted to catch up with Shen Fengjiu, but Shen Fengjiu's speed was too fast, and she could only barely keep up.
What to do?
Just when Lu Zhaoling was feeling at a loss, a strange smell suddenly rose around him.
Faint, if there is nothing, with a hint of sweetness.
What does it taste like?
Lu Zhaoling looked around and found that a layer of mist had filled the forest at some point.
Not good!
She instinctively felt bad and wanted to stop Shen Fengjiu immediately. However, when she looked forward again, Shen Fengjiu's figure was gone.
Shen Fengjiu would not notice that Lu Zhaoling had lost it, and he would never leave her behind for no reason.
Lu Zhaoling stopped and watched his surroundings vigilantly.
Have you already stepped into the enemy's trap?
Lu Zhaoling cautiously touched a tree, leaned his back against it, and drew the soft sword behind his back to keep on guard.
I don't know how long I waited after that. It seemed like a moment had just passed, and it seemed like a long time had passed, and Lu Zhaoling's perception was suddenly a little blurry.
Just then, she heard a flute not far away.
The sound of the flute was unusually familiar, and it was getting closer and closer to her.
It was a tune she had heard, one night, in the palace of Anping, the son who played the flute under the moon......
It's Bai Heng.
Dressed in a moon-white robe and holding a jade flute, he walked towards her with a smile.
The gentle and elegant piece of the boy, the expression is calm and supple, as when I first saw him.
Lu Zhaoling looked at the familiar figure in front of him in a daze, and his eyes gradually moistened.
"Bai Heng? You're not dead......" she muttered.
Bai Heng bowed his head slightly.
"Great, great...... But how? Why is there news in the palace that you are dead? Two lines of tears fell on Lu Zhaoling's cheeks, some sad, some joyful, and some confused.
Bai Heng took two more steps closer to her, still smiling, but did not speak.
"By the way, when I fled from Anping, the palace also said that I was dead...... Actually, you're not dead, you're just like me, escaping from that palace, right? It must be like this, you said you wanted to get out of there a long time ago, didn't you? Lu Zhaoling said eagerly, as if pleading, she was so eager that all this was true.
Bai Heng nodded slightly, and took another step forward, the two of them were already close at hand.
"Where's Li Zhu'er?" Lu Zhaoling asked Bai Heng.
Who knew that Bai Heng on the opposite side seemed to be surprised, and his expression was unnatural for a moment.
"What's wrong? What about Li Zhu'er? Are you talking? Lu Zhaoling's heart tightened, and he hurriedly stepped forward and reached out to grab Bai Heng's sleeve.
Bai Heng's eyes moved, his wrist flipped, and a cold light flashed in his hand without a trace.
"What about Li Zhu'er? The notice said that the princess died of martyrdom, did you bring her out?! Lu Zhaoling was still focused on Bai Heng's eager inquiry, and Bai Heng's unusual silence made her even more anxious.
She was completely oblivious to the impending danger.
Bai Heng's hanging hand raised slightly, and he was about to stab the sharp weapon at Lu Zhaoling.
Lu Zhaoling suddenly heard a loud crane chirp in his ears.
This crane made her feel excited, as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on her head, and she immediately sobered up.
The person in front of him was not Bai Heng at all.
Lu Zhaoling instantly let go of his hand and took two steps back, barely able to avoid a sneak attack that stabbed her in the abdomen.
"Who?!" The tears on Lu Zhaoling's cheeks were not dry, and she was angry and sad in her heart at this time.
Those who were seen through did not feel a fight, turned around and ran.
His figure was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, he had swept dozens of steps away from Lu Zhaoling.
It's so fast!
Lu Zhaoling hurriedly chased forward, but this astonishing speed made her feel bad in her heart.
Seeing that the distance between the two of them was instantly widened by a few feet, Lu Zhaoling tried his best to raise his breath and speed up a little, but it was still in vain, and the person was about to disappear from Lu Zhaoling's sight.
Lu Zhaoling was in a hurry, and drew a short sword and threw it at the man.
Surprisingly, the man's figure froze.
Hit?
Lu Zhaoling herself was stunned, but she didn't stop at her feet, seizing the opportunity to approach the man.
Who knew that the person was in front of Lu Zhaoling's eyes, and he was gone.
Where did it go?!
Lu Zhaoling rushed forward a few more steps, and saw a black shadow slowly appearing in front of him.
She immediately stopped, dodged behind a tree, and forced herself to breathe violently, quietly observing the dark shadow ahead.
The black shadow fluttered lightly in the direction of Lu Zhaoling, and it turned out to be Shen Fengjiu in a green shirt.
Lu Zhaoling's heart finally let go of it a little, and he breathed a long sigh of relief and walked out from behind the tree.
At this time, the distance was close, and Lu Zhaoling took a closer look, only to find that the person just now had not disappeared, but had fallen to the ground.
"You stopped him?" Lu Zhaoling walked towards Shen Fengjiu and asked him.
Shen Fengjiu nodded.
"So, he's the one who did it?" Lu Zhaoling walked up to the man on the ground and squatted down to take a closer look.
"Yes." Shen Fengjiu said firmly.
"This person is very strange...... Lu Zhaoling said hesitantly, "I don't know why, I think he is...... Bai Heng ...... I was almost plotted by him. But suddenly, somehow came to his senses and escaped, the man immediately fled. ”
"There are hallucinogenic incense powders in the forest." Shen Fengjiu said.
"Oh......" Lu Zhaoling suddenly realized, remembering that he had indeed smelled a strange fragrance, but he still felt a little incredible, "Is there really such a strange thing on the rivers and lakes?" ”
recalled the scene in Fang Cai's fantasy world, the mist, the sound of the flute, the white heng shrouded in the moonlight, and the familiar breath when he approached...... It's all too real. So much so that Bai Heng suddenly appeared in the woods of this wilderness, and Lu Zhaoling was still deeply confused.
Shen Fengjiu didn't reply, and Lu Zhaoling was used to it, so he continued to ask, "Who is he, why does he want to plot against me?" Is An Nian nearby? ”
"He's ...... Enemy. Shen Fengjiu said.
The one who led people to this forest in the middle of the night was naturally the enemy, but Lu Zhaoling knew that Shen Fengjiu's words had other meanings, and he knew the identity of this person.
"Whose enemy?" Lu Zhaoling patiently asked again.
"Shen Mansion." Shen Fengjiu replied.
The enemy of the Shen Mansion...... Shen Lingyan said that their master was born to protect the "Mandate of Heaven" that was born in the world, so their enemies were born to block the Mandate of Heaven?
"Your enemies too." Shen Fengjiu added at the right time.
It seems that there is no mistake.
Lu Zhaoling thought secretly.
"That'...... According to Shen Lingyan, there are only the two of you who guard the Mandate of Heaven now, and I am considered to be born from the Mandate of Heaven of your generation, and only you can intervene. Does this mean that the enemies of the Shen Mansion are also such a inheritance? ”
Lu Zhaoling said, glancing at the person on the ground.
If that's the case, this man is a little too weak......
