Chapter 3 Encounters with Robbers on the Road

"Imperial sister, what the hell is going on? Okay, why did you suddenly take away Nangong Li's military power? That scene just now almost scared me to death!" the young prince patted his chest and said with palpitations.

At this time, Zhuyue also relieved herself, looked at her younger brother dotingly, and said softly, "It's nothing, it's just that the imperial brother is worried that the barbarians are powerful and the army is unstable, so he sent me to sit in the north in person, third brother, you don't have to worry."

Hearing what Zhu Yue said, the third prince believed it and nodded silently, "That's fine" As he spoke, he suddenly noticed Qi Yue beside him, as if he was interested, pointed at him and asked, "Imperial sister, is this your guard?"

Seeing him ask this, Zhuyue was a little embarrassed, and quickly stood up and pulled back the third prince, and reprimanded softly, "Don't be rude! This is my friend and my senior brother, this time he specially escorted me over, if he wasn't here today, maybe something would have happened."

Qi Yue scratched his head when he heard this, and smiled, "It's nothing, then Nangong Li has no intention of disobeying, even if I don't come, you won't be fine."

However, as soon as this prince heard Qi Yue's identity, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he came up, "Oh, you are my imperial sister's senior brother, and that is also a member of the Ziyang Sword Sect?"

Qi Yue didn't intend to hide anything, so he nodded and said, "That's right, is there any problem?"

I saw that this prince was as excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and he came up and grabbed Qi Yue's hand, and said excitedly, "That...... Have you seen my imperial uncle?"

"Ah, your imperial uncle, who is it?" Qi Yue pushed the other party away and asked with a surprised face.

The other party was full of interest and was about to speak, but was interrupted by a scolding from behind him, "Stop!"

I saw that Zhu Yue's complexion changed greatly, as if he didn't want Qi Yue to know about it, he pulled away the third prince and reprimanded him a few words, and sent him out.

Slowly walked up to Qi Yue, and bowed lightly, "It's not early, I have already arranged a place for you to live, you are tired from a busy day, let's go and rest early"

Zhuyue's tone of speech changed suddenly, Qi Yue could of course hear what the other party meant, and pretended not to care at the moment, "It just so happens that I'm also a little tired, you should rest early, say goodbye"

After walking out of the tent, there were already people waiting at the outer door, and Qi Yue came to a place under the leadership of the soldiers, and stayed not far from where Zhuyue was.

It's just that he didn't know that their every move had already been monitored, and in the dark, a human film and television patrol guarded nothing, and a few flashes entered the largest military tent in the center of the barracks.

"General, the eldest princess's guard has left, should we do it?"

There were only two people in the huge military tent, and the person sitting upright at the top listened to the report of his subordinates, but his eyes never left the scroll of paper in his hand, as if there was some shocking secret on it.

The man in black kneeling on one knee below quietly waited for his master's order, not daring to make the slightest move.

In the middle of the night, Nangong Li put the secret letter in his hand on the oil lamp next to the table and lit it, but his expression was extremely solemn, he didn't know what he was thinking, but he didn't hear the report of his subordinates.

"Have you found out where that man came from?"

In the face of Nangong Li's inquiry, the man in black clenched his fists and replied, "General Yu, this person's name is Qi Yue, a person from the Immortal Kingdom, who won the top three in the entry competition of the Ziyang Sword Sect yesterday, and has been accepted as a disciple by Qing Mingzi."

"Qing Yingzi's apprentice, has he already discovered something?"

Nangong Li suddenly raised his head when he heard this, his brows furrowed, and he was very unhappy.

Seeing this, the man in black hurriedly explained, "Don't worry, general, according to the report of his subordinates, this person has a very good personal relationship with the eldest princess on weekdays, and this time he should have accompanied him personally."

Nangong Li shook his head and ordered, "Don't be careless about this matter, order it to go down, and order someone to investigate this matter thoroughly!"

"Yes! I would like to give the order of the brigadier general! It's just ......" The man in black glanced at Nangong Li's face, and saw that he had no different color, and continued, "It's just about the eldest princess, do we want to do it?"

"If you want to do it, do you have to wait until now? Before the news comes from the eldest brother's side, we must not startle the snake, let's go down!" Nangong Li looked extremely unwilling when he said this, but for some reason, he finally gave up the assassination.

............

Qi Yue didn't sleep well last night, he was taken to the barracks for some reason, and he inexplicably participated in a power competition, in short, all this was both boring and dangerous for him, if he wasn't worried about Zhuyue's safety, he would have returned to the sect last night.

The night passed, nothing happened, and after the morning sun shone on Qi Yue's face, he had already made up his mind and was ready to say goodbye.

Riding the morning sun, stepping on the grass, walking slowly in the huge barracks, it was very pleasant, if it weren't for the incomplete five tones, he wanted to sing two sentences aloud.

It's just that he didn't go far before he was stopped by a person, Qi Yue's good mood was suddenly destroyed, and he just wanted to get angry, but when he looked at it, this person was actually Nangong Li.

Today's Nangong is not as cold as yesterday, although his face is still expressionless, but the momentum of the whole person is much softer, and it seems much more normal.

I don't know what the other party meant, in the spirit of no grievances and no hatred, Qi Yue still hugged his fists and saluted, and asked, "It turned out to be General Nangong, I don't know why I stopped on the way down?"

Maybe it was because he saw Qi Yue's good attitude, Nangong Li looked extremely friendly, and a rare smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Qi Shaoxia, don't get me wrong, I just heard that Shaoxia is a master disciple of the Qingying Sword Immortal, and I yearn for it in my heart, so I came to pay a visit!"

Nangong Li's inexplicable friendliness caught Qi Yue off guard, as the so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, plus the other party had helped him, it was not easy to turn his face.

"Where is it, General Nangong is too modest, he is just a nobody, how can he compare to the general guarding the side"

After a period of hypocrisy, Nangong Li began to express his meaning, "I heard that Shaoxia is a person from the Immortal Kingdom, I don't know how he met the eldest princess?"

"This is to trap my words" I knew in my heart that Nangong definitely didn't have any good intentions to find himself, Qi Yue was not stupid, he knew that there were some things that could be said and some things that could not be said, so he only used the sentence "unintentional acquaintance" to pass it over, making the other party confused.

Fortunately, Nangong Li also saw that Qi Yue was wary of him again, so he didn't delve into it, just chatted a few words casually, and then turned around and left.

"Alas~ It's so tiring to talk to these officials, it seems that the rivers and lakes are more suitable for me, I'm away for the night, let's go back early" said and walked towards Zhuyue's tent.

The guards outside the door had been ordered, so no one stopped him when he entered, and he saw Zhuyue who was grooming.

"What, you're leaving?" Zhuyue stood up and looked straight at Qi Yue, with reluctance in her eyes.

Qi Yue stretched out his hand, and said helplessly, "It doesn't help me to stay here, and besides, it is not appropriate for the master to leave for too long, so ......"

"In that case, it's inconvenient for me to stay, I can't leave the barracks during this time, so I'll bother you to go back and help me report it."

"Well, don't worry, you also have to pay attention to safety, if you really can't come back, don't hold on alone" Qi Yue really felt sorry for the person in front of him, and tried to persuade her to give up several times, but she couldn't help but swallow the words.

Zhuyue's eyes were a little moist, maybe he didn't want others to see his weak side, so he turned around again, tried his best to keep his tone steady and said, "I will, you take care too"

......

The road back to the mountain, without the company of beautiful women, seems to be a long time. A hundred miles away is nothing to a person in the rivers and lakes like Qi Yue, and if he exerts his light skills with all his might, he will be able to reach the foot of Liuyang Mountain in less than two hours.

It's a pity that Qi Yue seems to have something in mind, although the footsteps are not slow, they are not fast, and they have only walked a third of the way in an hour.

"Nangong, although there are many surnames in the world, this compound surname is rare. Nangong Ze, the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, and Nangong Li, the general of Zhenbei, is this a coincidence?" Qi Yue was puzzled about this matter along the way, which caused the speed to not be able to get up all the time.

"I knew that it would be too late to leave after asking clearly, it seems that I have to go to Yangqiu and ask them after returning to the mountain, this matter should not be so simple"

After paying attention, Qi Yue put aside his distracting thoughts, and carried out his light work with all his might, and he could already see the shadow of Liuyang Mountain in the distance for half an hour, and he would be able to have lunch in the canteen of Ziyang Peak in a while.

Just as Qi Yue was exerting force under his feet and his speed soared, the sound of a sharp weapon breaking through the air suddenly sounded in his ears, and a black shadow behind him attacked at great speed, and the target was directed at Qi Yue.

Although the steel body has been completed, but when he goes out, he doesn't dare to be careless, his left foot falls on the treetops, his right foot taps the trunk, and his body easily dodges the hidden weapon with a churn in mid-air, and picks a thicker ancient tree to settle down, and looks in the direction of sneaking up on him.

"Boss, this person has good light skills, it shouldn't be a person from the Ziyang Sword Sect, should we retreat first" Seven or eight people walked out of the forest, dressed in strange costumes, carrying many strange secret weapons in their arms, and slowly walked in the direction where Qi Yue was.

The person at the head can't see his age, his face doesn't know what to paint, and he is fancy, not like a person in the righteous path. I saw him stretch out his hand and interrupt his subordinates' words, "Don't worry, those disciples of the Great Gate Sect are very good-looking, and they will definitely wear the clothes of their own sect when they go out, this person is dressed in a strong suit, and eighty percent is a prodigal son of the rivers and lakes, so there is nothing to worry about."

The tone between the words was very large, and he didn't take Qi Yue in his eyes at all.

"Yes, yes, the boss is wise and martial, his eyes are sharp, and he can see at a glance that this kid is fine, and I can't wait for it...... It's out of reach."

"That's right...... The boss is wise and martial, I can't wait for the dust!!"

Qi Yue almost didn't laugh when he stood on the treetops, he found these people at first glance, except for the so-called "boss" who was in the early stage of the True Martial Realm, the others were all small fish and shrimp, so he didn't take it to heart, and kept looking at a few people with his hands and arms.

The man known as "Boss" enjoyed the praise of his subordinates very much, looked at Qi Yue on the tree triumphantly, and shouted, "Boy, do you come down by yourself, or do we "please" you come down!"
