Xie Ling is not an indecisive person, and once he makes a decision, he will act resolutely.

She asked Ling Ye to buy two horses, and the three of them abandoned the carriage and rode away.

When we set off again, the sky was already bright, and the sun was slanting eastward, sprinkling warm light down the mountain stream, and the fog was filled with scattered stars.

Qiu Shi and Ling Ye followed Xie Ling in Luofu Mountain for five years, and they knew her temperament very well, so they didn't say much, so they rode their horses together and ran straight in the direction of Jinling.

It's just that when the three of them rode away, a white figure suddenly appeared in the pine and green mountain forest, this figure was long and ethereal, with half a white jade mask on his face, and his snow-white clothes were swept by the wind, looming in the hazy smoke.

But in an instant, the figure also disappeared into the mountains and forests.

"What are you going to do?" In the secret room hidden by the curtain, Xiao Zhengde also looked at Chen Shuo and asked.

"Please give me some secret guards and give me a day, as long as I can prevent Xie Ling from arriving in Jiankang in three days, His Highness's will will be fulfilled." Chen Shuo replied.

"Okay, Chen Shuo, it's the first time I've seen someone who dares to scold Lone for having a bad character, but Lone likes your crazy personality, Lone wants to see, how do you help Lone achieve his wish?"

After that, Xiao Zhengde waved the sleeves of his robe, laughed loudly, and then dialed a group of secret guards and handed them over to Chen Shuo to take.

From Wuxing Wukang to Jin Ling, riding a horse is only a day's time, after Xie Ling enters the city, it is already the time of nightfall, twilight is four, along the way how many distant mountains and city outlines, painting buildings fly away behind the mountains.

After a day of non-stop galloping, the horses were tired, so Xie Ling ordered Ling Ye and Qiu Shi to stop, and set up tents in the mountains to rest for a while.

Qiu Shiben was a little reluctant, looking at Xie Ling with a faint pity in his heart: the girl was originally a noble girl of the scholar clan, but she was raised like a man since she was a child, not only to learn temple politics, but also to experience in the mountains and wilderness, and the hardships she endured were no less than those ordinary scholars, and now she didn't even care about sleeping in the open air.

Thinking of those sisters-in-law in Jiankang City, they will be supported when they go out, and they will be supported when they enter, and they are weak and weak one by one, which is as tough as a girl, Qiu Shi's heart is uncomfortable.

When thinking like this, Qiu Shi's eyes turned, and he saw Xie Ling, who was bathing in the moonlight at this time, his slender and upright figure showed a kind of lonely mystery, and the snow-white robe sleeves fluttered with the wind, and he couldn't help but tremble slightly, and he actually felt a kind of "wind under the forest" rhyme.

"That's Yuquan Mountain?" Xie Ling, who was silent, suddenly asked.

Qiu Shi was stunned for a moment, and Fang nodded and said, "Yes, it seems to be Yuquan Mountain." ”

"I heard that two hundred years ago, during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was a big Qing Tan Ya gathering here, and there was a young man at the banquet who won the group with the strength of one person, and since then he has been famous in Jiangdong and has improved the prestige of the family."

Akimi stopped talking, two hundred years ago was too far away for she to have heard.

"My grandfather once said that being born as the daughter of the Xie family should be so, and as a man of the Xie family, it should be even more so.

Hearing this, Qiu Shi's heart was even more uncomfortable, so he asked in a low voice: "Girl, do you feel tired?" ”

Xie Ling smiled, looked back at Qiu Shi, shook his head and said, "No? Before I changed all this, I am not qualified to say that I am tired, my Xie family can continue for two hundred years since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it is the efforts of generation after generation, there are many celebrities, and the handsome people are steaming, and it will be broken since I can't reach my generation. ”

But you're just a girl after all!

Just when Qiu Shi was so emotional in his heart, he suddenly felt that Xie Ling's face changed abruptly, and his hand was even tighter, but it was Xie Ling who suddenly held his hand on her wrist.

At this time, the cool breeze was blowing in the mountains, and there was a light sound of wind passing through the fallen trees, and the night was exceptionally quiet, but in this quiet, a sudden whining sound.

Qiu Shi's heart suddenly became afraid.

"Lang Jun, what's that sound?"

"Wolves." Xie Ling replied, "It's the sound of a wolf howling." ”

Qiu Shi's face was even more pale: "This Jinling area is close to Jiankang, how can there be wolves, and it is not winter yet, wolves will not ...... when they enter and leave the mountains."

Before the words fell, I felt a gust of wind sweeping from the mountains and forests, and a green lamp appeared in the night.

Qiu Shi screamed in fright, almost fainted, and when he was at a loss, he suddenly heard Xie Ling calling: "Midnight, light the fire, stop them with torches!" ”

Ling Ye, who was about to draw his sword out of the sheath, heard this, and immediately took the torch from a cluster of bonfires lit by Shicai, handed it to Xie Ling's hand, and at the same time kicked a pile of dead branches apart, and was about to set them on fire, but saw that the wolves had already pounced on this side.

Ling Ye, who didn't have time to light the fire, had to draw his sword and slash at those fierce beasts with porcelain teeth grinning.

A ferocious wolf dripping with saliva was rushing towards Xie Ling, Qiu Shi screamed in fright again, he wanted to block in front of Xie Ling, but his body stiffened and didn't even dare to move, and when she reacted, she saw Xie Ling burning the wolf's nose with a torch, and the fierce wolf turned around and fled, not daring to approach again.

Qiu Shi calmed down a little and asked, "Why are there so many, this is a wolf pack?" Where did it come from? ”

"Naturally, someone released it." Xie Ling replied.

"Someone? What does Lang Jun mean is that these wolves were deliberately released to fight for Lang Jun? Someone wants to kill Lang Jun......" Thinking about this, Qiu Shi's heart was even more terrified, "Could it be ...... Is it Linhe Wang Xiao Zhengde again? ”

"Not necessarily." Xie Ling replied.

In the previous life, she took the waterway, from Wu County into the mouth of Beijing, and then traced the Yangtze River upstream, this is the shortest road, because of the proximity to Jiankang, there is the control of the Imperial City Patrol Battalion, and it is also very safe on weekdays, but on that day, she met the robbers, if someone did not save her, I am afraid that she will die at the hands of the bandits with the people of that boat.

In her previous life, she reported the matter to the official, but later after being investigated by the government, there was no consequence, and in the end, Na Tingwei Zheng only killed a few bandits and hastily closed the case.

In this life, she has changed her route to Jinling, and she has encountered not bandits but wolves, which means that there is indeed a pair of peeping eyes behind her.

Someone wanted to kill her! But this person should definitely not be Chen Shuo, Chen Shuo just wants to use her Xie family's power to achieve the goal of joining the office, and he will not be so stupid to want to kill her.

Just thinking about it, there was a swishing sound of wind and lightning in his ears, Xie Ling reflexively dragged Qiu Shi's hand, bowed down, and when he looked up again, he saw an arrow stuck into the trunk in front of him, and Ling Yu moved slightly.

Qiu Shi's face changed miserably again.

At this moment, there was another burst of heavy footsteps approaching, and because of the instinctive reaction to the approaching danger, Akimi turned his head to see that it was a huge tiger with its mouth open, roaring, and walking towards them step by step.

"Lang...... Lang Jun, this is ......"

Qiu Shi's eyes were already dull, and his whole body trembled, and Ling Ye was still fighting with the wolves at that time.

Only Xie Ling did not change his face in the face of the appearance of this tiger, but just set his eyes on the throat of the tiger.

There is a way to stab a tiger, you must first stab it in the throat.

Xie Ling clenched a dagger in his sleeve for self-defense, and waited for the tiger to approach and find the right time to strike a fatal blow, but when the tiger roared and suddenly raised its front hooves to pounce on her, another arrow suddenly shot from the forest, directly penetrating the tiger's throat.

The tiger's massive body collapsed to the ground with a bang.

Qiu Shi was also so frightened that his legs went limp, and he almost fell to his knees.

Xie Ling set his eyes on the long arrow that pierced the tiger's throat.

It was an arrow glowing with silver light all over, and a feather on the tail of the arrow was in the shape of a fan glowing with a faint blue light.

Xie Ling's heart moved, and her eyes suddenly flashed with a little surprise, she strode over, and actually pulled out the arrow forcefully.

The blood on the tiger's body suddenly splattered her.

"Lang Jun, what are you doing?" Akimi screamed in fright.

Xie Ling held the arrow tightly, and after careful confirmation, his eyes showed incomparable shock and joy.

"Phoenix Feathers?"

She muttered in disbelief, strode towards the forest suddenly, and shouted, "Liancheng, is that you?" ”

"Liancheng, isn't it you?"

The four fields were silent, and the only thing that answered her was the sound of boundless falling trees, and the soft sound of the wind swirling in the hollow valley.

"Murong Liancheng, if it's you, please come out and see you."

Xie Ling searched for a week, but he couldn't find any figure in the forest, only some strange footprints were vivid, so he had to pause abruptly, looking at this feather arrow thoughtfully.

"Lang Jun, what's wrong?" Akimi caught up and asked.

Xie Ling shook his head: "It's okay, maybe I confessed my mistake." Maybe he's not the only one in this world who likes to use such feathered arrows. ”

"Him?"

Qiu Shi didn't understand what Xie Ling was talking about, but Xie Ling's mind echoed what Lian Cheng had said to her in his previous life:

"I, Su Liancheng, would like to serve you Xie Ling in this life, and die without regret until the day when my body and soul are destroyed."

It is indeed for this oath that he dedicated his life and the most precious life to their Xie family.

Xie Ling suddenly felt a dull pain in his heart, and he didn't know what happened to Liancheng after she died in her previous life?

However, based on what Chen Shuo said, it will definitely not make Liancheng feel better, maybe......

Xie Ling shook his head, discarding those terrifying illusions in his mind, and after standing stunned for a moment, Fang said, "It's okay, let's go!" ”

Just as he was about to take a step, his expression suddenly froze again, squatted down, and pressed one hand on the ground.

"Lang Jun, what's wrong again?" After being frightened several times, Qiu Cheng already had some cups and bows and snake shadows, and asked in horror.

"It was the sound of horses' hooves, and at least twenty horses were galloping towards this direction." Xie Ling stood up and replied solemnly.

"Twenty? Could it be that it was sent by King Rinka again? Qiu Shi asked in a trembling voice.

"No, it can't be Xiao Zhengde, the sound of horses' hooves is coming from the southeast, which is the direction of Jiankang."

"In the direction of Jiankang, could it be that the head of the family sent someone to pick up Lang Jun?"

Qiu Shi was overjoyed in his heart, and couldn't help but look at the past, and saw that there was really smoke and dust in the southeast direction, and the sound of sassy trampling came, and in a blink of an eye, a group of tall horses jumped into view, the horses galloped like lightning, and the mane was like the wind, and all the people sitting on it were Lang Jun in white clothes.

After seeing the face of the leader, Qiu Shi shouted happily: "Lang Jun, you see, it's the Liu Lang of the Wang family, he came to pick up Lang Jun." ”
