She had to speed up her pace, otherwise, in the middle of the night, the beasts in the Shaoshan forest alone would be enough for her to drink a pot.

Regardless of the painful wounds on her body, Lu Xiyue dared not stop for a moment.

Seeing that people entered the forest for half an hour, there was still no news. The head of the Killer Sect stood on the deck, blowing the cool breeze, and there was no wave in his dark pupils.

A return killer came back to report, so far no trace of Lu Xiyue has been found in the woods.

It was strange to say that even if a wounded woman went ashore before them, she would not be able to pass through this mountain so quickly.

The head of the Assassin Sect narrowed his eyes and turned around abruptly.

On the other side of the river, the trees are towering, and standing on the edge of the deck, you can vaguely see the winding path in it.

The head of the Assassin Sect laughed when he heard the words, he was really careless, neither the former playboy Lu Xiyue nor the current female businesswoman Lu Xiyue were any ordinary women.

He summoned more than a dozen men and pointed to the opposite forest.

"Follow this road, she must be on the way back to Qiong County."

A group of subordinates responded and leaped into the river, tapped their toes lightly, and their figures touched the water like dragonflies.

In the woods, Lu Xiyue's wrist was swollen and painful, and her injured left cheek was also swollen. She didn't even dare to take a big breath.

Her hand caressed the wound lightly, just a slight touch, like water sprinkled with salt beads, her face turned pale from the pain.

She didn't sleep all night, and swam through the water again. She suffered from the cold, and her steps became more and more heavy.

After entering the forest, the killers searched along the path and soon found the blood dripping from the weeds.

"It seems that this is the right way." The killer twirled the branches and said coldly.

When the people behind heard the words, they immediately flew out.

The frightened bird flew overhead, Lu Xiyue turned her head suddenly, and not far away was a masked killer approaching.

Surprised on her face, she immediately walked into the woods and found a thick tree trunk for cover.

The footsteps behind were getting closer and closer, and the branches and leaves of the trees along the way were interrupted. Listening to the sound, there might be no less than ten people.

She held her breath, barely daring to make any sound.

Soon, the dozen or so people walked forward, but they didn't find her hiding place.

After a while, Lu Xiyue hid behind the tree and poked her head out to take a look. Those people had already gone away.

She let out a long breath, picked up a branch, supported herself, and prepared to walk into the woods.

I really didn't expect the owner of the Assassin's Gate to find out that she had gone another way so soon. Now that she was in Qiong County, she couldn't go back for the time being. This path was full of people from the Assassin's Gate.

For now, just wait here.

She only took one step, when a dazzling cold light suddenly flashed above her head, and the icy long sword sank into the place just behind her.

The edge of the sword was pressed against her neck, just a little off-center, and it could kill her immediately.

Lu Xiyue broke out in a cold sweat.

"Miss Lu, please."

The man in the mask jumped down from the tree, looking like the killer who had looked at her conveniently before.

He easily removed the long sword from the tree with a deep voice.

In an instant, the dozen killers who had just left suddenly gathered around her.

Lu Xiyue gritted her teeth unwillingly, threw the wooden stick out, and followed the killers back to the boat.

The weather in the first ten days of October is not too cold, and the sun above the head is good. At this moment, the doors and windows of every house on the supposedly bustling streets are closed, and they dare not go out easily.

The people in the yamen have been searching the streets for a long time, door to door. It is said that someone lost something, and the thief is hiding in Qiong County. He is the Jiangyang thief on the most wanted list.

There was a lot of movement in the yamen this time, and even the few merchants who had a good relationship with the county magistrate on weekdays were spared, which made the big guys panic, and no one dared to go out at all.

Mother Lu hadn't seen Lu Xiyue and Xiao Yunheng for most of the day, she came to Zhao Pinqian's house specially, and ran into Ah Shui who was about to go out.

"Mrs. Lu, why are you here?" Ah Shui asked respectfully when she saw Mother Lu.

After all, Zhao Pinqian and Lu Xiyue are sworn brothers and sisters, and Mrs. Lu is equivalent to the godmother he pays attention to.

"Why didn't I see Yunheng and Pinqian today, and Yue'er didn't come to the shop."

Usually at this time, Lu Xiyue would be in Revlon in the morning, and would go to Qipin Xiangzhai in the afternoon.

Now that it's getting dark, she made a special trip to Qipin Xiangzhai to have a look, and wanted to remind her girls to pay attention to safety and avoid going out recently.

I never thought about it, and I didn't even see it.

Hearing her question about Lu Xiyue, Ah Shui was stunned for a moment, then said: "My son, Mr. Xiao, Mr. Xie and Miss Lu are going to Kang County, why didn't they tell you?"

This was specially ordered by their master before leaving, if Mrs. Lu came to ask, just answer like this.

"Kang County, what are they going to do in Kang County?"

"It seems that I went to discuss business. I don't know the details."

Ah Shui handled it with ease.

Mother Lu nodded ignorantly: "They didn't say when they would be back?"

"I guess it will take three or four days."

Mother Lu was stunned and didn't ask any more questions.

These young people can make a fuss, and she doesn't know anything about business, but Kang County is better, it's much safer than Qiong County, and it's good to avoid the limelight there until the yamen catch Jiang Yang's robbers and come back.

She felt a little relieved, and told Ah Shui: "When they come back, please notify me immediately."

Ah Shui nodded and smiled: "That's for sure, madam, you're welcome."

Keeping Mother Lu from the truth, Ah Shui heaved a sigh of relief after they left, and immediately informed Zhao Pinqian and others who were looking for boats by the river bank.

There is a lot of wind on the river at night, and every household goes to bed early after nightfall, and the sound of boats passing by is so small that you can hardly notice it.

As early as when the sky was still dark, the ship of Killer Gate was parked outside Qiong County.

Lu Xiyue was locked in the room between, but this time, her restraint was not restrained.

"I really underestimated you. I could have let you run away on the boat." The man smiled lightly, as if he wasn't annoyed, "This move is really beautiful."

He was cheated in the past.

Lu Xiyue took a cloth towel beside her and wiped her wrists. The man's support did not make her happy, but she felt creepy.

"I've told you everything you want to know, why don't you kill me and keep me?"

Under normal circumstances, if she is afraid of revealing the secret, shouldn't she be killed?

Lu Xiyue is not a masochist, it's just that the thinking of the head of the killer sect is too unusual.

The other party put away his joking gesture, and said in a calm manner: "Don't you know that a man is innocent, but pregnant is guilty?"

Lu Xiyue blinked: "It's my crime to conceive Bi, I..."

It's because she said that she has the ability to divination the past and the future.

She smiled: "Doesn't the sect master not believe what I said?"

"I don't believe it, but everything will be decided when we arrive in the capital."
