Walking out of the secret passage, she found the exit outside the castle's horseback riding arena. "It's finally out." She breathed a sigh of relief, "Adelan, thank you. ”

"You're welcome." Adelan's smile had a deep meaning in the moonlight.

"By the way, you can now say what you want me to do, right?" She doesn't like to owe favors, because the hardest debt in the world is a human debt.

The moonlight was like water, and the insects in the grass were also singing softly, looking at the very calm environment, her heartbeat accelerated for some reason. It felt like there was a sense of danger approaching. But the surroundings were covered by night, and even in the moonlight, there was no danger to see. "Adelan, do you feel anything?"

"Someone seems to be coming." Adelan turned his head.

As if to confirm her feelings, a rapid sound of horses' hooves came from a distance.

"Get out of here, it's likely they're coming." She nudged Adelan, "You have nothing to do with this, you go quickly, don't get into trouble." ”

"But you still owe me unpaid." Adlan said reluctantly.

"Here's my business card, call me when you think of what you want!" She pulled out her business card and said.

Adelan took the card, winked and said, "Okay." With that, he went back into the secret passage and closed the entrance.

What should she do now? From here to the station, even if it is dawn, it may not be possible, and the pursuers behind can guess at once that she will rush to the station, and when she arrives at the station, she will see Joseph and them "welcome" her at the station gate.

She suddenly remembered that there was a small forest near the riding ground, and she might be able to hide there for a while. Thinking of this, she quickly ran towards the woods. The backpack and camera were bouncing on her body, and her already underdeveloped motor cells were even more bulky. Even though it was August, the night breeze mixed with the dew was still a little chilly in her lungs - maybe she was scared and her whole body was chilling.

Suddenly, several flashlights flashed past her, and people in the distance were shouting something. No need to ask, it must be saying that I found her and asked others to come around! She sped into the woods, leaning against a large tree and gasping for air. What now? If someone has already found out, it doesn't make much sense to continue hiding in the woods, and if you wander around the woods, you can't be sure that you won't go back to the castle. Remembering that the road was southwest of the woods, she headed in this direction for the time being, and if she was lucky, she could walk to the village outside the castle before the men found her.

The moonlight passed through the gaps in the leaves, casting a blank white veil over the forest, quietly looking a little hazy and terrifying. Come to think of it, Mr. Zhu Ziqing was not chased by the bad guys when he wrote "Moonlight on the Lotus Pond". Listening to Qian Yi, this forest is not big, and there are no poisonous snakes and beasts in it, this is the only thing she feels fortunate about, at least she doesn't have to worry about whether she will encounter poisonous snakes and poisonous insects like the primeval forests in Yunnan before, and even the miasma in the forest has to be vigilant.

Out of nowhere, there was the sound of human voices and the shaking of the grass and trees.

No way? Found it so soon? She took a breath and groped her way in the direction of the main road. After walking for about five minutes, she saw a white marble tombstone in the woods that glowed blue and white in the moonlight. "Isn't it? At this time, I bumped into a tombstone? The corners of her mouth twitched twice - could there be a vampire crawling out of the grave and telling her good evening, he was so hungry that he wanted to suck blood for a late-night snack? She quickly passed carefully past the tombstone, and when she was still one step away from the tombstone, she found that the tombstone was actually engraved in Chinese Traditional! It won't be engraved like the big tree Pang Juan saw before his death, "Shi Sui died next to this monument", right?

She stepped forward to carefully identify it, and it was engraved with the words "Tomb of Qian Keng".

Surname Qian? Could it be Qian Yi's ancestor?!

There was a sound in the bushes behind, she was startled, and quickly hid in a bush next to her, but heard someone say in clear Chinese: "It's me, don't hide." ”

It's money easy! She poked her head out cautiously and saw Qian Yi standing next to the tombstone with his usual bland smile on his flashlight. "You ......" Could he have brought a group of people to arrest her, and that group of people was just temporarily hiding?

"Don't worry, I'm the only one." Qian Yi said, "If I want to arrest you, I won't tell you to escape during the day." ”

On the contrary, it seems that she spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. "How did you know I was here?" She walked out.

"I heard that you ran into the woods, and I think you'll go in the direction of the main road, so you'll probably pass through here." Qian Yi held the tombstone and said, "Just guessed, I didn't expect to guess correctly." ”

"Here...... Is it the tomb of your ancestors? She asked.

"Hmm." Qian Yi's expression was a little complicated.

"I seem to have seen the name 'Qian Keng' somewhere." She scratched at her hair. She was pretty sure that no one in her acquaintance had that name, and that she seemed to have seen it in some book......

"It's rare for someone to have an impression of the name." Qian Yi smiled, "Maybe if I say his other name, you can remember it." This one of mine rents Qian Keng, also known as Peng Keng, known as Peng Zu. ”

"Peng Zu?! Your ancestor is Peng Zu, a native of Changshou County who lived to be nearly 900 years old in mythological stories?! She cried out in surprise.

"Be quiet, do you want to call everyone in the neighborhood?" Qian Yi frowned.

She quickly covered her mouth. Peng Zu actually existed? "Peng Zu is really your ancestor?" This time she lowered her voice.

"You're surprised?" Qian Yi asked with a smile.

"Nonsense! Peng Zu is an immortal in Chinese mythology! I thought ......," she gestured.

"Think he doesn't exist?" Qian Yi said lightly, "But there are indeed some things, and I also think it would be better not to exist." ”

"So you're going to betray me and the Xuanyuan family?" A low voice with a sneer sounded behind them.

"Sir......" Qian Yi's face changed slightly.

Her heart struck, she didn't expect Joseph to come in person! "Xuanyuan's own family? Who's that? She tried to distract herself from the fear she had seen Joseph at first sight by asking questions, but it didn't seem to have much effect.

"Xuanyuan's family is not a person, but a family, and the family is in China." Qian Yi said as he pulled her behind him, "Sir, Miss Shi has no desire for immortality, so why should you embarrass her?" ”

"It's old money, you're a little strange, why do you take special care of this girl?" Joseph crossed his arms and asked mockingly, "Is she your friend or relative?" Or are you in love with her? ”

"No, I just want to protect this simple-minded girl." Qian Yi replied.

Hey? Didn't Qian Yi say that it was her friend who asked him to take care of her?

"Simple-minded?" Joseph sneered, "It's true that she's a little different from the people who came here, but I'm absolutely sure that for someone like him, why do you care for her alone?" ”

"Because those people haven't appeared in front of me yet." Qian Yi said, "But why did Mr. target her? ”

Joseph stared at him and said, "Because you look at her differently, I pay special attention to her." ”
