Yuan Qi escorted the Duchess and Lin Sha to the mountain, and the leader of the Haisheng Sect looked at the Duchess's noble, dignified and elegant appearance, and shouted that he wanted to get the Duchess to give her some kind of virgin, so the Haisheng Sect was still chasing after her, and those who caught up were all martial arts masters, although their strength was slightly worse than him, but they were better than others.

Yuan Qi, Xi Lizhu and others were also under great pressure, and they were gradually separated, so they had to fight separately, and they fought and retreated.

Yuan Qi had to deal with a few Haisheng Sect masters, covering the Duchess and Jenny, but he was also in danger, and suddenly a guy took advantage of the gap to catch the Duchess, Jenny screamed in fright.

Yuan Qi looked sideways, and the Duchess was as noble and elegant as ever, as if what was in front of her was not an enemy, and then gave Yuan Qi a trusting look.

In that look, three points of expectation, four points of gentleness!

He's milky!

Such a look is too ...... That's amazing!

Just for this look, he has to make her safe!

Yuan Qi also used an extremely exhausting Thunder Palm Kill, killing that Haisheng Sect member!

When the Haisheng Sect master, screaming and flying high, and then falling into the mountain stream, seeing him making a gesture to attack them again, the other two finally became frightened and retreated, Yuan Qi took the opportunity to grab the two of them and quickly flashed into the woods.

With the cover of the woods, that is, he is in the dark, and the other party is in the light. It's a lot easier to deal with.

However, Yuan Qi had two weak women by his side. Yuan Qi was still very careful in his actions. After going around in circles in the woods for a long time, he finally got rid of the pursuit.

When the three of them walked past a place where they could sit and rest, Yuan Qi looked at the two women, and their eyes were looking straight there.

The Duchess has been clothed and fed since she was a child, and after she got married, she was also a duchess, and she was frightened and tortured like she is today, and although she tried her best to maintain her demeanor, she was already exhausted, and the maid Jenny was no better. It must be that he wanted to take a break, Yuan Qi looked at the Haisheng Sect members who were still searching the mountain under the mountain, this mountain is not big, it won't be long before you can search here.

However, Yuan Qi hesitated. Let them sit down and rest.

The Duchess, with Jenny's help, straightened her ruffled garments and carefully combed her hair until she thought she was in order.

"What's going on with this Sea Life Sect, why is its combat effectiveness so strong? ……”

It is understandable that the Haisheng Sect members are brainwashed and are not afraid of death, and he has also seen those who have been brainwashed by the cult crazy self-immolation, etc., but such organizations are usually a rabble. Yuan Qi didn't understand why his combat power was so strong, this was the biggest question in Yuan Qi's heart.

"I'm afraid many of them were hidden in the army before. The Sea Life Sect is also becoming more and more secretive. ”

Yuan Qi dotted. That's a relief.

The Duchess also looked down the hill, and was silent for a while and said:

"It seems that Hephie is going to be in chaos, although the Haisheng Sect has been dead and not stiff, but it is still difficult to make big waves, and what is even more worrying is that the king is not in good health, and some people are afraid that they will move their minds. Dongying people are also involved, and this is the most worrying ......"

The Duchess seems to feel that the hope of escape is very slim, and she has a bit of an account of the aftermath, and tells a lot of secrets of the upper echelons of Hefy, including the young King Lopis because of his body, the ambition of Prince Lordon in the royal family, Dongying's motives and many other secrets of the upper echelons of Hefy.

Internal and external collusion, this is indeed more dangerous and urgent than the Haisheng Sect.

Yuan Qi also knew very well that if Dongying controlled Xifei, it would mean that the flames of war would soon ignite on the mainland, which was indeed an imminent matter. It's just that Yuan Qi didn't know, in fact, the Duchess still had one point, and she couldn't help but say it, that is, Duke Lin Du was actually ambitious, and the reason why he didn't make any action was just because he wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and he wanted to wait for both sides to lose before he started......

The Duchess looked at him as she spoke, and said:

"Sir, I have a request, I don't know if Sir can grant it."

"Please."

"Look at the posture of Haishengjiao, I'm afraid Jenny and I won't be able to escape, Mr. was originally just here to teach martial arts, but he was involved, I feel ashamed of Mr., Mr. should go, I just hope that Mr. will take care of Lin Sha......"

The Duchess closed her eyes quietly, and her expression was peaceful, without the slightest fear that one might have before death, as if death had always been the beautiful thing she had hoped for.

Yuan Qi looked at the bottom of the mountain, he really wanted to take the Duchess and Jenny, the three of them couldn't leave, but let him abandon the two of them and run away alone, he couldn't do it, Yuan Qi thought for a while and said:

"Let's go a little further into the mountains and see if we can find a place to hide, as long as we wait until the army that returns to the city to fight the fire comes to kill us, we have hope."

"I'm afraid that Lentopa's army is frightened, and I am afraid that they will use the excuse that they want to defend Lentoba and will not come out."

"Then as long as you stay up until dark, there is a way."

Yuan Qi couldn't help but pick up the two and walked into the mountain again, not far away, suddenly the sound of killing under the mountain shook the sky, Yuan Qi and the Duchess were busy looking down the mountain, but it was the army of the Heffy Kingdom attacking, seeing that the clothes were not Lendoba's army, but Dorlon's men, it seemed that it was Dorlon, the commander who came to save them.

The Haisheng Sect was searching the mountains all over the mountains, and it was not in formation at all, and it was caught off guard by Dorlon's men and horses, and many people were shot with a bow and crossbow......

Yuan Qi also took the opportunity to take the Duchess and Jenny to follow behind the army, and smoothly returned to Lentoba City, not long after, Dott and Helly Zhu also protected Lin Sha and others back to the city, and when the guards were all gathered, everyone felt very lucky, because of the Nine Sons Secret taught by Yuan Qi, the loss of the Duke's Palace guards was not large.

However, some of the other nobles were not so lucky, and the Marquis of Langton and many other nobles were all taken away by the Haisheng Sect, even if they did not die. I'm afraid the family will have to pay a hefty ransom.

This is what happened. No one had any intention of staying in Lentoba. All took advantage of the fact that Dorlon's men were still chasing after the Haisheng Sect, and each packed up their men and embarked on the return journey......

……

Needless to say, Yuan Qi's popularity in the Duke's Mansion now, especially the guards are even more convincing to him, even Dort, who has always been very unconvinced by him and secretly wants to compete with him, everyone knows that if it weren't for him this time, it is estimated that everyone would be reimbursed in the suburbs of Lendoba.

And what made Yuan Qi even happier was that he was born and died with the Duchess this time, and the Duchess's attitude towards him also had some subtle changes. In front of him, he was not as reserved as before, and seemed a lot more casual.

Just like in front of them, although the two of them were talking secretly in the study alone, the Duchess did not deliberately change into formal clothes, but wore home clothes.

"Since Mr. Wu Yong introduced him, then Mr. went to the Duke's Mansion without any ill will towards the Duke's Palace, but I still want to know who Mr. is? What do you do in Heaphy? I can look it up, but it will take time, so please forgive me for taking the liberty ......."

The Duchess said directly.

"I don't mean to hide anything, just follow the rules of the game. I can't reveal my identity, and Mr. Wu Yong didn't tell you my true identity because of this. Please forgive me and help me keep this secret, for you and the other person in Hephie will know about it besides me......"

Yuan Qi also knew that what the two of them would discuss next must be an extremely secret matter, so trust is the most basic thing.

"I see, no wonder...... It's just that Heaphy still knows the identity of Mr.? ”

The Duchess actually had a variety of guesses about Yuan Qi's identity before, but she really didn't guess that he in front of her was the champion of Huaxing Xinke, it seems that as Mrs. Ginny said, she did pick up the treasure, but there were still people who knew this secret before her, which made her a little surprised.

Yuan Qi smiled:

"That person knows me in Fengdu, and I was on the boat alone in Fengdu, but she has great powers, and she also got on the boat in Fengdu, and her purpose is to be the agent of the fairy jade girl powder and jade girl paste in Xifei......

Yuan Qi wants to see Mi Sini from time to time, this is impossible to keep secret, but it is better to explain generously, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

The Duchess also talked about the origin of the Duke's Palace, and Yuan Qi gradually learned what kind of power this family of the same age as the Heffy Kingdom had in the open and in the dark.

Matching the status of the Duke's family, the Duke is not only the king's most loyal vassal, but also has the power to make the king condescend to call Ann an "ally".

The Duke of Hephie is the most senior nobleman after the King and the Prince of the Heir to the Throne.

This was obtained by the ancestors of the Duke's Mansion who fought with the founding king, and under the rule of the founding king, the nobles below were their duty, but in the fourth generation of kings, they were extravagant, which led to the disregard for the authority of the central government and the scourge of rebellion.

There were also some great nobles of the Haisheng Sect who raised the banner of rebellion.

But just when the people were panicking and the nobles living in the royal capital of Ife thought that the country was about to repeat the turmoil before the reunification, the most powerful duke's palace did not take the opportunity to betray the royal family, but used its strong military power to help the king put down the rebellion.

"But now the Duke's Mansion is also gone, and it doesn't have the same strength as before."

The corners of the Duchess's plump mouth flashed a helpless wry smile, strength is certainly one thing, but what makes the Duchess sigh even more is that her titular husband, Duke Lindu, has a different heart from his ancestors......

Yuan Qi digested these news, and also understood the Duchess's intentions, the Duchess did not want Heffy to fall into turmoil, let alone get involved in the war between the two most powerful countries on the continent because of Dongying, which coincided with his thoughts, Yuan Qi pondered for a long time and said:

"Huaxing doesn't have such a sense of crisis at all now, and many people in Heffy don't see so far as Madame, it's easy to ask God to send God, even if Huaxing is willing to send troops to Huaxing, I'm afraid the nobles won't agree. But this matter is imminent, and the most important thing at the moment is not to let the conspiracy of the Dongying people succeed, if it really can't be done, let's strike first, warn them first, so that they don't dare to act rashly for the time being, and buy time......"

Yuan Qi said, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

"Kimberland? Is that too big a goal? ……”

The Duchess naturally knew what the warning in Yuan Qi's mouth was, and asked with a hesitation.

Yuan Qi nodded: "Kimberland is a minister, if the target is him, it is indeed too big, maybe it will backfire, don't worry, Madam, I know what to do, I won't implicate the ...... of the Duke's Palace"

Yuan Qi's target is his sister, Lady Mary, Mithney's stepmother, who is the liaison between Kimbran and the Dongying people, so it is most appropriate to use her.

Yuan Qi carefully recounted his plans, and the Duchess also sat up straight and listened intently, even the small blanket on her body slipped to the side, not realizing that the slender legs under the tulle loungewear showed off their curves.

It wasn't until I sat for too long and felt a little chill on my bare arm that I stretched out my fair and delicate arm, and then put it down again.

The Duchess's eyes turned around on Yuan Qi's cheeks, revealing a slightly embarrassed expression, she actually forgot that Jenny was not here, and it was not appropriate to let Yuan Qi do such a thing, so she picked up the hot tea and covered the warmth in the palm of her hand...... (To be continued......)
