The swaying carriage finally stopped, and Mu Yunqi slept very unsteadily in the car.

She jumped out of the carriage, and her body was shaken as if it was about to fall apart.

"This is already the northern realm?" She made her rounds out at night.

"Well, it's almost there, the horse can't hold on, I'm afraid I'll have to rest here tonight." King Qing said as he lit a fire.

Gu Hanxuan took the cloak from the carriage and handed it to her, and said softly, "It's cold at night." ”

Mu Yunqi took the cloak and sat on the edge of the fire.

The foliage of the surrounding trees rattled, and the horses occasionally neighed in the silence of the night.

At the edge of another fire, several men who followed were resting against the stumps.

King Qing sat next to Gu Hanxuan, laughing with Mu Yunqi, talking about those interesting things on the mountain, and making her laugh.

His eyes were heavy and his eyelids were about to open and close.

Just as everyone was about to close their eyes, several dark shadows swept into the woods and looked at the two fires in front of them.

A flock of birds perched in the trees were startled and flew in panic.

A sharp sword blade stabbed straight at her from behind Mu Yunqi, and between the lightning and flint, King Qing quickly picked up the sword on the ground and picked away the sword that was attacking behind her.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and immediately got up and held their swords to protect Gu Hanxuan and Mu Yunqi in the middle.

Gu Hanxuan pulled Mu Yunqi to his side, and his cold gaze swept towards the assassin who suddenly appeared.

"Cold ink, keep your mouth alive." His voice was as cold as frost as his countenance.

"Yes." King Qing hooked the corners of his mouth and looked at the black-clothed people who appeared one after another with disdain.

He jumped up and took the lead in the fight, and the sound of swords clashing quickly sounded in the forest.

The bright colors of the fire reflected the light and shadow of their fight, and one after another those who fell to the ground let out a muffled grunt, and blood splattered from the wounds punctured by the sword, spraying onto the trees and the ground.

Mu Yunqi looked at the skills of the Night People coldly, and only breathed a sigh of relief after being sure that they were not from Haoyue Palace.

After all, the people in Haoyue Palace are extraordinary, and Gu Hanxuan's people are difficult to guarantee that they are invincible to the other party.

But the skills of the current group of night people, you can see at a glance that several of them are thin and jerky, and they can't be specially trained killers.

Soon more and more people fell to the ground, and only three men were left who were still resisting.

A man on the ground got up silently, intending to walk behind Mu Yunqi and hold her hostage, but before he could get close to her, Gu Hanxuan kicked the sword on the ground and stabbed it straight into his heart, and he fell straight down with wide eyes.

Mu Yunqi turned to look at the man who fell behind him, with an indifferent expression.

Gu Hanxuan looked at her with suspicion, not understanding why she didn't notice the movement behind her, and he took her hand, feeling that the strength in her hand was very weak.

When the last man was subdued and knelt on the ground, King Qing stabbed his sword in the throat, blood staining his sword red.

"Didn't you keep your mouth alive?"

King Qing turned around and said, "Brother Huang, they are really too vulnerable, and they fell before I even warmed up." ”

Gu Hanxuan glanced at him and said, "Let's see what's suspicious about them." After speaking, he pulled Mu Yunqi into the carriage.

One of the guards immediately stepped forward and touched the night man's body, then flipped over the inside and outside of the man's shirt on the ground, and only after a moment did he get up and shake it.

"Brother Huang, judging from their clothing, they should be from Jinguo. They don't have anything of value on them, even the swords are made by themselves, I think they should be the people of Jinguo. ”

"Let's go." Gu Hanxuan commanded.

The carriage soon sprang up and whistled through the woods.

Gu Hanxuan looked at Mu Yunqi and said, "You seem to be fine, why do I think you are a lot weaker?" ”

Mu Yunqi lowered his head and asked, "I think it should be that the body has not healed after the poison." ”

"What are you hiding from me?" He asked in the affirmative.

Mu Yunqi looked up at him, was silent for a while, and confessed: "My meridians were damaged and I lost my skills. ”

Gu Hanxuan frowned and looked at her.

Mu Yunqi lifted his sleeves and exposed the wounds on his two wrists.

"Nangong He took my blood, and because he injured the meridians, his martial arts were lost." She said lightly, with no concern in her tone.

The forbearance of anger made Gu Hanxuan's face flush, the protruding green tendons on both sides of his hair and temples continued to curl up, and his secretive eyes stared at the head of the carriage, and a cold aura emanated from his body.

Mu Yunqi's heart trembled slightly, and he was slightly shocked by his appearance.

His hands rested on the table in the carriage and clenched into fists.

Mu Yunqi put down his sleeves, stretched out his hand to cover his fist, and said, "Your Majesty? ”

Her voice suppressed Gu Hanxuan's emotions, and he slowly calmed down his expression, and said, "Now that you have no skills, there are sinister places outside the palace, go back to the palace with me." ”

He knew that since Nangong He had worked so hard to capture her to Jinguo, how could he send her back so easily. After all, it was too late for her to go, so she suffered that torture.

The deep wound on her hand just now made his heart ache.

Mu Yunqi glanced at him, stared at the table and said, "You also know that I have been looking for a way to unseal the meridians before, and this time he took my blood, but he also unsealed the meridians that I was sealed. ”

"Have you remembered your youth?"

She nodded, and then said: "I'm going to the border, that is, I want to go to see the previous Lin Dynasty, and I want to go to see the burned down Jin Palace." ”

After Gu Hanxuan pondered for a while, he said leisurely: "The border battle has set off a big chaos in the court, I can't delay outside the palace any longer, let King Qing go to the border with you, and then he will escort you back to the palace." ”

His eyes were fixed on her, expecting her to nod.

After thinking for a long time, Mu Yunqi nodded.

For now, she had to agree to his request first, and she had to find a way to get rid of King Qing when she got to the border.

"King Qing has been practicing martial arts on Zhonglin Mountain for ten years, and with him protecting you, I am naturally relieved. You must not stay outside the palace for a long time, after all, you are no more skilled than you once were to protect yourself. Now that the war has started, you can't enter the border city, you can only go to the old city to inspect it, there is no war there yet, and Mu Yunche won't rush to attack there. He spoke softly, earnestly.

He finished speaking in one breath, and seeing that she was listening carefully, he said, "You—don't let me worry anymore." ”

After saying this last sentence, he sighed deeply.

Mu Yunqi smiled and pretended to be relaxed: "Don't worry." ”

She opened the window lattice, looked at the dark woods outside, remembered what happened to Fang Cai, and said: "Those people just now are coming for me, they are neither like the people in the rivers and lakes, nor like assassin killers, I think they should be the people of Jinguo, hating me for causing war and destroying their happy life, and they want to get rid of me, the person who is a disaster to the country." ”

Gu Hanxuan was silent in thought, in fact, when he was fighting in the forest just now, he guessed the origin of those people, and coupled with King Qing's words about searching them, he confirmed his conjecture.

"Don't think too much, it's none of your business."

What he has to do now is to return to the DPRK as soon as possible to stabilize the court and the border, and when everything is in order, he will logically take Mu Yunqi back.

Mu Yunqi didn't know about his plans and plans, and she also had her plans in her heart.

The two of them pondered separately, and the carriage galloped night and day to the north, without stopping.
