The days in the mountains were very leisurely. Yan Shu and Jiang Ci strolled hand in hand in the plum blossom forest in the mountains, watched the sunrise and sunset on the Hopeless Cliff, and admired the snow-covered mountains connected to the sea of ​​clouds. Such a carefree life made Yan Shu temporarily forget all his worries. He did what he liked with his beloved and lived every day as if it were his last.

She thought that even if she and Jiang Ci could not be together forever, she would be satisfied with living well every day. However, accidents always happen when you are least prepared.

On this day, Jiang Ci received news from the capital, and discussed matters with his shadow guard in the study for a long time.

After dinner, Yan Shu strolled and chatted with Nangong Yan along the quiet path of Qingyun Mountain, helping them to digest their food.

During this period, Yan Shu gradually became familiar with Nangong Yan and felt that this girl was an upright and brave woman. Nangong Yan and Ji Chuan grew up together as childhood sweethearts. Although they have not expressed their feelings to each other, it can be seen that Ji Chuan also takes good care of her.

"Madam Jiang, I see that Master Jiang dotes on you very much. He will remember everything you say. When we went to the plum blossom forest together that day, you casually said that plum blossom pastry was delicious. That night he found a chef in the kitchen and learned how to make it for you. It seems that in Master Jiang's eyes, there is no other woman in the world except Madam Jiang. I especially want to ask you, how do you control your husband on a daily basis?"

After hearing Nangong Yan's words, Yan Shu couldn't help but chuckle.

"You want to know?"

Nangong Yan nodded rapidly. Which girl doesn't want to find a husband who only has her in his eyes and heart?

Yan Shu pondered for a moment, thinking carefully about her relationship with Jiang Ci.

"There is no such thing as a trick to control a husband. It's just a matter of exchanging sincerity for sincerity, and this man just happens to have good character and conscience."

Jiang Ci has experienced too many hardships since he was a child, so it is difficult for him to let down his guard against anyone. It is not easy for people to get into his heart, but he is a wise and conscientious person in his heart. Because he sees things clearly, he always knows what he wants.

Nangong Yan seemed to understand something.

"So the most important factor in determining whether a man is reliable is his character. So it seems that the character of our eldest brother is trustworthy."

Yan Shu smiled and said, "Master Ji is an upright and kind person. He acts in an upright manner, but he is not a pushover. Only a good person with brains can control kindness. Kindness without brains may harm others and oneself."

Nangong Yan's pair of bright eyes rolled around, and she leaned closer to Yan Shu and studied him carefully for a while.

"Mrs. Jiang, I suddenly understand why Mr. Jiang treats you so well. You are quiet and gentle, but your heart is very clear. If I were a man, I would be attracted to you unconsciously."

Yan Shu looked towards the distance and said, "Miss Nangong and I can only wait for the next life. Your fate has already come in this life."

Nangong Yan turned around and saw Ji Chuan walking towards her. A smile immediately broke out on her face.

"Big Brother!"

Seeing Nangong Yan, Ji Chuan smiled and walked straight towards her.

"Junior sister, Master sent people everywhere but couldn't find you. It turns out you were with Madam Jiang."

"I'm free so I came to chat with Madam Jiang. What does my father want to talk to me about?"

"I don't know the specific situation. My master asked me to take you there."

Nangong Yan looked at Yan Shu and said, "Madam Jiang, let's take you back first."

Yan Shu said, "No need. This place is not far from the courtyard where I live. I can go back by myself. I think Sect Leader Xuan has something important to discuss with you. You should go quickly."

Nangong Yan took Yan Shu's hand and said, "I'll come find you tomorrow."

Yan Shu smiled and said, "Okay."

Ji Chuan said, "It's getting late. Since Madam Jiang doesn't want us to take you back, just carry this lantern."

Seeing that Ji Chuan was kind enough to give her the lantern in his hand, Yan Shu couldn't refuse it again and just reached out to take it.

"Thank you very much."

After separating from Ji Chuan and Nangong Yan, Yan Shu was carrying a lantern and preparing to return to the courtyard where she lived. Just as she walked a short distance, a white shadow suddenly flashed in front of her. Yan Shu didn't even have time to react. She only felt a dull pain in her neck and a feeling of dizziness instantly came over her.

Seeing this, the shadow guard hiding in the dark flew forward, but the white shadow was as fast as a flash of light, and disappeared into thin air with Yan Shu in the blink of an eye.

"Go and inform the master!"

The two of them flew all the way towards the house where they lived.

Jiang Ci walked out of the study, looked at the sky which was already darkening, and looked towards the door.

"Where did Shu go?"

Ying Liu on the side said, "Not long ago, Miss Nangong came to see Miss Yan, and the two of them went out for a walk together."

Jiang Ci saw that it was getting late, and even with the shadow guards protecting him secretly, he still felt uneasy.

Just as he was about to go outside to look for him, two dark shadows flew into the yard.

"Master, something bad has happened. Someone has kidnapped Miss Yan!"

Jiang Ci's expression changed drastically, and he stared at the shadow guard in front of him with a murderous look.

"What do you eat?"

The two of them immediately knelt down.

"The opponent's martial arts are far superior to ours. I didn't even get a clear look at his face. He disappeared in the blink of an eye."

Jiang Ci's eyebrows were throbbing.

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down: "All shadow guards should immediately search carefully inside and outside Qingyun Mountain. Don't miss any place where they can hide."

"Yes!"

More than twenty shadow guards were dispatched instantly, and Jiang Ci immediately went to the next yard to look for Ji Chuan. When he learned that Ji Chuan and Nangong Yan had gone to the residence of the headmaster Xuan Tai, he immediately rushed over.

"Brother Jiang, what happened?" Seeing Jiang Ci's gloomy face, Ji Chuan vaguely felt that something had happened.

"My wife has been kidnapped. Have the guards at Qingyun Mountain noticed anything unusual tonight?"

Xuan Tai, Ji Chuan, and Nangong Yan's expressions all changed.

"Mrs. Jiang was just with Junior Sister. She went back after we left. How could she be abducted?"

Jiang Ci's heart sank even more. "The shadow guards accompanying us said that the person who kidnapped my wife was very skilled in martial arts. They only saw a white shadow flash by and didn't even see the other person's face clearly. The person disappeared in an instant. Master, there are many masters in your Qingyun Mountain. Please help me find the whereabouts of my wife."

Xuan Tai frowned slightly. "There is a formation outside Qingyun Mountain. There is only one entrance. It is difficult to find this place without a disciple from our sect to lead the way. From the person you described, it seems that his martial arts has reached a superb level. There are only a handful of people in the world who can have such skills."

Jiang Ci pondered for a moment: "Since he can break through the magic array of Qingyun Mountain, it means that he has a deep connection with Qingyun Mountain, or he is from Qingyun Mountain."

Xuan Tai waved his hand and said, "At present, there are only three great-grandmasters in Qingyun Mountain who have the ability to break through the magic circle. They were just discussing matters with me and have just left. Judging from the time, it cannot be them."

Ji Chuan looked at Jiang Ci and said, "Brother Jiang, what the master said is true. Great-Uncle Xuan Heng, Great-Uncle Xuan Yi, and Great-Uncle Xuan Ming arrived right after they left you."

Jiang Ci's face was grim: "Besides these three seniors, is there no one else in Qingyun Mountain who can break the magic circle?"

Xuan Tai's eyes suddenly lit up: "Could it be him?"

Jiang Ci, Ji Chuan and Nangong Yan looked at Xuan Tai at the same time.

Nangong Yan asked anxiously: "Dad, who did you think of?"

"The Taiji Taoist of Dengfeng Tower was once a disciple of my Qingyun Mountain. He was also the cultivation prodigy second only to Master Xuanji in Qingyun Mountain. However, for some reason he was expelled from Qingyun Mountain. Since then, the Taiji Taoist founded Dengfeng Tower. He has been working for the royal family for these years and has never set foot in Qingyun Mountain again."

Jiang Ci's heart was shocked. Taiji Taoist? It turned out to be that evil monk!

Nangong Yan asked doubtfully: "Dad, I have never heard you mention this person. Why did he kidnap Madam Jiang?"

Xuan Tai looked at Jiang Ci: "I think Mr. Jiang already has the answer in his mind."

"Whoosh!"

A dart shot towards Jiang Ci. Jiang Ci's eyes moved slightly, and he waved his hand and a silver leaf flew out, nailing the dart shot at him to the wall.

Ji Chuan immediately stepped forward and took down the dart.

"There's a note on this dart."

Jiang Ci walked forward and took the note. After opening it and taking a look, his expression became even gloomier.

Ji Chuan asked, "But is there any news about Madam Jiang?"

"They asked me to go to Kumu alone to meet them."

"Kumu is the border between Changshan County and Rongdi. There is an endless desert over there. It is obvious that the other party has set a trap."

Jiang Ci said: "Even if it's a trap, I have to go."

The little fox was in their hands and he had no other choice.

-

Yan Shu didn't know where she was. Her eyes were covered with a black scarf, and her hands and feet were tied tightly with ropes.

The first thing she did after waking up was to try to enter the space, but she failed as she expected.

The other party was able to kidnap her from Qingyun Mountain without anyone noticing, so he must be no ordinary person.

After pondering for a while, she forced herself to feel around with her hands behind her back and found that there was nothing around her. A dry and cold wind was whistling around her, and the dust on the ground was all over her face.

Yan Shu's heart sank suddenly. She was actually in the desert now?

Just then, a sound of footsteps approached her, and Yan Shu pricked up his ears vigilantly and listened.

"woke up?"

Where have you heard this sound before?

The next second, the black cloth covering his eyes was pulled off. Yan Shu quickly looked at the person who came, and was immediately met with a pair of sneering eyes.

Yuan An?

Seeing the flash of surprise in Yan Shu's eyes, Yuan An curled his lips.

"Are you surprised to see me?"

Yan Shu glanced around and found that she was thrown into a tent. Outside was an endless desert. There was a strong wind in the desert and the whole tent was shaking.

Where is this place? How long have I been unconscious?

She had fought with Yuan An before. Although this man had some abilities, it was impossible for him to take her away from Qingyun Mountain by himself.

Moreover, she vaguely remembered that the person who flashed in front of her was a white-haired person. Although she didn't see the other person's appearance clearly, it was definitely not Yuan An.

Yan Shu looked directly at Yuan An and asked, "What on earth do you want to do by bringing me here?"

"Hehe, what do you think I want to do?"

Yuan An leaned over to Yan Shu and held her jaw tightly with his hand: "Back in Xinyang Prefecture, I was ambushed by you. Hundreds of people from the entire Xilin Guard died tragically at your hands. At that time, I was thinking that if one day you fell into my hands, I would definitely repay you for that day's vengeance."

Yan Shu turned his face away and said, "If you just wanted to avenge what happened that day, you wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to bring me to this desert. You or the people behind you want to use me to lure Jiang Ci here, right?"

Yuan An was stunned for a moment, then he laughed a few times.

"No wonder the Seventh Prince thinks so highly of you. You are indeed a smart girl."

Yan Shu's heart sank suddenly. If she was coming for Jiang Ci, then a tight net must have been set up around her, and she would become a bargaining chip to threaten Jiang Ci.

The sound of horse hooves came from a distance, and a young Taoist priest ran towards Yuan An.

"Master, they are coming!"

Yan Shu immediately raised his head and looked forward, and saw a familiar figure riding a horse towards him, the horse's hooves kicking up a cloud of dust, and the person sitting on the horse looked straight over here.

Yuan An snorted softly: "He cares about you more than I thought. I really bet on the right horse. Let's go and meet your lover."

When Jiang Ci was approaching the tent, he was stopped by a row of Taoist priests who suddenly appeared. He pulled the reins of his horse and looked down in the direction of the tent.

Yuan An dragged Yan Shu out of the tent. Jiang Ci's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He dismounted and walked straight forward.

"Your purpose was to lure me here. Now that I'm here, let her go!"

Yuan An looked at Jiang Ci and raised his eyebrows provocatively: "Haha, Seventh Prince, it's really not easy to see you."

When Yan Shu saw him coming alone, his heart ached.

"Ah Ci, they captured me just to lure you here. There must be traps set up all around. You knew it was a trap, so why did you come here stupidly?"

Jiang Ci's eyes softened when he looked at Yan Shu.

"Don't be afraid, Jiaojiao. I will definitely take you away from here."

Yan Shu's eyes were sore and tears fell down.

"Their target is you. As long as you don't show up, they won't do anything to me. Go away, get out of here!"

Jiang Ci knew that this trip would be dangerous, and he also understood that the other party was coming for him.

But the woman he loved was being held hostage by the other party, and even though he knew it was a dead end, he had to come.

At this time, a low and hollow laughter came from the air.

"What a pair of lovers with deep love!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a white shadow flying from a distance like a banished immortal. He was wearing a smoky green Taoist robe and holding a whisk in his hand. His immortal-like figure floated down from the sky.

When Yuan An and other Taoists saw the person coming, a look of respect instantly appeared on their faces.

"Meet the Master!"

Yan Shu looked at the white-haired old man in front of him and immediately recognized him as the white shadow who had kidnapped her from Qingyun Mountain that day.

Taoist Wuji took a few steps forward and looked at Jiang Ci with a deep gaze.

"Seventh Prince, I haven't seen you for many years."
