Zhuang Mengdie stopped, looked at Qi Xiangchen with an embarrassed expression, and said: "Brother Zhouwan, from here to Tianxuan Capital, the mountains are high and the road is far away, and the next time I come back, I'm afraid it will be a year or two." I was still a little relieved that my father, even though he didn't recognize me, but I still wanted to see him again and say goodbye to him. ”

Qi Xiangchen is now thinking about going to the capital of Tianxuan Kingdom to find the Sima family's art of war after going down the mountain, where will he think about Zhuang Mengdie to see if Xiao Yuanqing has ulterior motives before leaving. He nodded and said to Zhuang Mengdie: "Then you go quickly, I'll go and arrange the affairs in the mountains first, and we'll meet at the entrance of the cave in a while." ”

Zhuang Mengdie was overjoyed when she saw Qi Xiangchen's promise, she thought that Qi Xiangchen was bent on finding the Sima family's art of war, and she didn't want her to delay more time, maybe she was suspicious that she was going to see Xiao Yuanqing before leaving, and wanted to go with her. But he didn't seem to notice anything unusual, which was a good thing for her.

Zhuang Mengdie hurriedly went to the kitchen to get a few plates of pastries and rushed to the stone room where Xiao Yuanqing was imprisoned.

Hearing that Zhuang Mengdie came in a hurry, saying that she was going down the mountain with the mountain master today, and came to say goodbye to her father, Qi Bo babbled a few gestures that Zhuang Mengdie couldn't understand, and opened the stone door of Xiao Yuanqing's stone room for her.

"Qi Bo, Mengdie and her brother have important things to do when they go down the mountain this time, and I don't know when they will come back, so my father will ask you to help take care of it. Come, I brought you wine. Zhuang Mengdie saw the stone door open, and did not rush into the stone room, but put a jar of wine on the stone table, poured a full bowl, and beckoned Qi Bo to come over and drink.

Hearing the sound of the wine entering the bowl and smelling the aroma of the wine, Qi Bo walked to the stone table with a smile on his face and sat down, nodded to Zhuang Mengdie and thanked him, and then picked up the wine bowl and drank it.

In the past few days when Zhuang Mengdie has delivered food to Xiao Yuanqing, he has brought wine to Qi Bo every day, and Qi Bo has long been accustomed to it. Just when he was about to bottom out of a bowl of wine, Zhuang Mengdie suddenly made a move, and hit Qi Bo on the back of the neck with a hand knife, and the unprepared Qi Bo immediately fell on the stone table, still holding the wine bowl in his hand, and the unfinished wine flowed down the stone table to his clothes.

Zhuang Mengdie lifted the food box and entered the stone room with an arrow, and Xiao Yuanqing in the stone room was still the same as usual, sitting at the table in plain clothes

In front of the case, he was concentrating on writing and painting, and he seemed lukewarm to Zhuang Mengdie's arrival, but he turned his head when he heard the footsteps, and continued to paint.

"This is a new pastry made in the kitchen, do you see if it suits your appetite?" Zhuang Mengdie said, put down the food box, walked to Xiao Yuanqing's side and said.

Xiao Yuanqing confirmed that only Zhuang Mengdie came alone, and Zhuang Mengdie also lowered his voice and said to Xiao Yuanqing that he had knocked out Qi Bo outside the stone gate. Xiao Yuanqing and Zhuang Mengdie regained the cordial appearance that should be between father and daughter.

"Dad, this short sword is for you to defend yourself, after Qi Xiangchen and I leave Jiangzhu Mountain, it is a good time for you to leave. Zhuang Mengdie said and handed Xiao Yuanqing a short sword hidden on his body.

Zhuang Mengdie left the palace without any blades, this short sword was given to her by Yu Zhouwan in the secret room of the forbidden area of Jiangzhu Mountain. But Zhuang Mengdie had to walk with Qi Xiangchen all the way, afraid that Qi Xiangchen would no longer trust her if he found out that she had Yu Zhouwan's short sword on her, and wanted to refuse Yu Zhouwan's short sword.

But after thinking about it, Xiao Yuanqing wanted to escape from Jiangzhu Mountain, and it was really inconvenient to have no blades by her side, and if she secretly took Jiang Zhushan's blades to Xiao Yuanqing, then it was very likely that they had not left Jiangzhu Mountain, and the disciples in charge of counting weapons would suspect her once they found that the arsenal was missing blades.

Therefore, it is very suitable to give Yu Zhouwan's short sword to Xiao Yuanqing to use. Zhuang Mengdie can only help Xiao Yuanqing so much, I hope that her father's kung fu swordsmanship has not been completely abandoned over the years, and he can take this opportunity to escape from Jiangzhu Mountain smoothly.

"Mengdie, you must be more careful along the way. Xiao Yuanqing accepted the short sword, took Zhuang Mengdie's hand and asked with some reluctance.

Zhuang Mengdie nodded solemnly at Xiao Yuanqing, and the father and daughter shook each other's hands, exchanged a look of mutual understanding, and no longer said anything. After all, they all knew in their hearts that if Zhuang Mengdie delayed here for too long at this moment, it would be detrimental to their plans.

Zhuang Mengdie walked to the dining table, took out a few plates of pastries in the food box one by one and placed them on the table, and did not stay longer.

Turn and leave.

After pressing the switch, the heavy stone door of the stone chamber slowly closed behind Zhuang Mengdie, and she slowly exhaled a long breath from the deepest part of her chest, temporarily throwing all the heaviness behind her head, and speeding up her pace towards the exit of the stone cave with a faint light in front of her.

Qi Xiangchen is by no means an easy person to deal with, and it is unknown whether this trip is evil or auspicious, but she can only rely on herself. I hope that after he and Qi Xiangchen go down the mountain, his father and brother can escape from Jiangzhu Mountain smoothly.

As for herself, Zhuang Mengdie clenched her fists under the sleeves of Qianqingyi, for so many years, Zhuang Feiyu has always sheltered her under her wings, many things, many dangers, she does not need to face it personally, but now, the only thing she relies on is herself, she must make herself strong, only in this way can she protect herself, and she can protect the person who protects her wholeheartedly.

......

As soon as the sky lit up with fish belly white, two horses came out of the inn, and the two horses were sitting on Zhuang Mengdie, who was wearing a light green robe, and Qi Xiangchen, who was dressed in black.

After the two horses galloped a short distance out of the inn, they let go of their hooves and galloped, and the yellow sand on the official road was constantly lifted backwards, and the dust was gone.

"Mengdie, have you been tired of going out early and returning late late? But there is still at least half a month's journey from here to the Tianxuan Capital, and if we arrive as soon as possible, we will be able to find the Sima family's art of war as soon as possible. Qi Xiangchen, who was sitting on the horse, raised the whip in his hand and looked at Zhuang Mengdie beside him.

"With the Cold Shadow Divine Skill, this hard work is nothing for Mengdie, Brother Zhouwan doesn't have to worry about Mengdie. Zhuang Mengdie showed a sweet smile at Qi Xiangchen and replied loudly.

After knowing that Qi Xiangchen was not Yu Zhouwan at all, let alone his brother, but his enemy, Zhuang Mengdie called Qi Xiangchen "Brother Zhouwan" more cordial than before, after all, after so many years in Tianxuan Palace, her superb acting skills have long been perfected.

Along the way, Qi Xiangchen was thinking about how to find the Sima family's art of war after arriving at the capital of Tianxuan Kingdom, while Zhuang Mengdie was thinking about not knowing what happened to Xiao Yuanqing and Yu Zhouwan who were on Jiangzhu Mountain at the moment, and whether they had successfully escaped from Jiangzhu Mountain.
