Under the gray sky, a group of people suddenly emerged from the shadows of the hills and stopped in front of a steep cliff, overlooking the majestic city in the distance.

The leader was tall and thin, his entire body hidden in a wide cloak embroidered with gold thread.

A pale wrist jutted out from the edge of the dark purple brocade, subconsciously reminding people of the ghost hand that claimed lives in the middle of the night in strange stories.

"Zhangcheng is just ahead. We can enter the city before dawn."

The subordinate behind him said.

Zhangcheng produces jade and is geographically connected to several northwestern cities of Qi State and outside the territory. It is the most dazzling pearl in the northwest and also the core of Zhenyuan Army's defense.

However, within a few years, the new generation of leaders of the Zhenyuan Army led their troops to push the defense line outward more than 300 miles, and Zhangcheng was transformed from a frontier town where dangers and opportunities coexisted into the rear base of the Zhenyuan Army.

"No," the leader said silently, "I will not go in. Everything should proceed according to the plan."

The veins on the exposed wrist were bulging, faintly revealing restraint and forbearance, with a sense of homesickness.

You Feng didn't know if it was his illusion. After all, ever since the Governor gave up on joining Lu Yingxue and escaped from the Lu family, he had become more and more vicious and ruthless.

Even when he was surrounded and attacked by hundreds of masters under Emperor Mingde, and even when he personally scraped his bones to treat the poison while escaping, he never blinked an eye.

Scared?

It is absolutely impossible!

……

Under the same sky, snow and wind as sharp as ice knives swept across the wilderness, destroying all living creatures that hoped to survive by chance by going out.

The dying old wolf shook its limbs and searched hard in the hard frozen soil, eager to find some food to fill its stomach.

Abandoned by the tribe because it is an outdated wolf king.

It is difficult for a lone wolf to survive in winter. In order to avoid becoming the target of hunting by other animals, it can only come out to find food during the coldest time of the day.

The shriveled stomach rumbled and the stomach contracted violently, and it looked like it was about to have a cramp.

At this moment, a faint smell of blood entered the frozen nose!

It's meat!!!

The old wolf king's turbid eyes suddenly burst into light, and his shaking body regained vitality. He ran with his head held high, and his staggering steps were extremely firm.

On the dry grass not far away, a human figure was formed on a bulge buried by the snow. The light blue clothes were stained with blood, and the body was covered with bloodstains.

The old wolf king "howled" and bit the corpse's arm, and his remaining instinct drove him to tear his prey apart.

The cold fishy smell slid down his throat along with the crazy secretion of saliva, blood filled his mouth, and his stomach, which desperately needed to be filled, twitched violently.

The old wolf king was so absorbed in tearing his prey apart that he completely ignored the sense of danger.

The next moment, the "corpse" that it had torn apart tightly clamped its neck. The old wolf king's eyes widened bloodshot and he bit the meat in his mouth tightly and refused to let go.

"Hiss-"

The piece of meat was successfully torn off, and the old wolf king ignored his strangled throat and eagerly wanted to swallow the flesh and blood.

Unexpectedly, the corpse became even more crazy. It pressed its frozen arms deep into the wolf's mouth, forcing it to be unable to close. Then it opened its mouth wide and bit the old wolf's throat.

At dawn in the wilderness, a silent struggle for survival unfolds.

In the end, the old wolf was defeated and died because of his own greed.

Liu Xunfeng was lying on the ground holding the skinny wolf corpse, gasping for breath. Bright red blood was spurting out and dripping from his pale face.

In the dislocated wolf's mouth was an arm that was torn into a bloody mess. Liu Xunfeng stared silently at the desolate wilderness. After a while, he came to his senses, lowered his head and began to gnaw on the wolf's corpse with an expressionless face.

Liu Xunfeng had no intention of thinking about hatred and resentment. At this moment, he just wanted to survive!

At some point, a glimpse of black appeared in my peripheral vision.

His back had long lost feeling, and only his arms could move with difficulty. Liu Xunfeng's consciousness was numbed by the cold, and he did not look up when he noticed someone appeared. He continued to gnaw on the wolf's corpse to replenish his energy.

"Ah--"

The man smiled, his voice full of superior pride, "As expected of a man who can catch her eye, he is stronger than the average man!"

The visitor squatted down beside Liu Xunfeng, and scanned him from head to toe with a sharp gaze, and whispered to himself in a judgmental tone:

"The poison doctor of the time? An evil villain who likes to experiment on living people, actually has real feelings? Tsk, my eldest lady is still as charming as ever!"

Liu Xunfeng couldn't hear clearly what the other party was saying. He had just woken up from a coma and his brain was buzzing. He was able to kill the old wolf king in one breath only thanks to his survival instinct.

The visitor asked with strong purpose:

"Do you dare to follow me?"

Liu Xunfeng lowered his eyes, and inserted his ten fingers deeply into the warm wolf corpse. A gloomy voice came out from his hoarse throat:

"I. Want. To. Live!"

……

The curtains in front of the bed were half drawn. Lu Ningshuang was sitting on the head of the bed with soft pillows piled behind her. One of the handsome men sent by the high priest was sitting on the edge of the bed and feeding Lu Ningshuang porridge.

There was a knock on the door. After Lu Ningshuang answered, Lu Jie, whose body was still covered with snow and wind, appeared outside the screen.

"Second Miss, Liu Xunfeng is missing. Judging from the situation at the scene, he must have been rescued. Is there anything I can do for you?"

Lu Ningshuang touched her chest and coughed. The young man skillfully took out a folded handkerchief and caught the blood-stained vomit for her.

"Good intentions, ahem..."

Lu Ningshuang frowned and called out. The boy put down his handkerchief and sat over. Lu Ningshuang tilted her head and leaned on Liangyi's neck with a sickly look on her face. Her snow-white long hair was draped over her thin shoulders.

Compared with Lang Yan's unique and unordinary kindness, Lu Ningshuang, who is both a fairy and a demon, is obviously more bewitching.

"Save him if you want. I didn't intend to kill him directly..."

The tone suddenly became softer and turned into a whisper.

"It's no fun to die so easily. What should I do if I die so quickly?"

Lu Jie said worriedly:

"Aren't you raising a tiger to cause trouble?"

Strike first and gain the advantage, and uproot the grass at its roots; these are the principles that have kept the Lu family going. Is the Second Miss too soft-hearted?

Lu Ningshuang twirled her hair with her fingertips and chuckled, her misty eyes, which were ruthless at the core, flashed with an unreadable melancholy.

"There are many people who hate me, and he is not the only one. I really want to see how he will take revenge!"

Lu Jie twitched the corner of his mouth and thought to himself, who hates you?

On second thought, love turns to hate...

Who can tell for sure what goes on in the romantic world? Anyway, as a rough man who has never experienced the baptism of love, he can't understand it.

"Also," thinking of the important matter, Lu Jie became serious, "Second Miss, the return trip may have to be postponed."

Lu Jie's expression became solemn, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Some force from nowhere has blocked Yongyuan. We have lost contact with Jinyang."

Lu Jie discovered that an invisible blockade had begun since the day the people sent by Jinyang arrived, and he was unable to pass the message on no matter what means he tried.

However, no one else, including the Zhenyuan Army, was affected. It seemed that the other party had only blocked the method used by the Lu and Qin families to transmit messages.

I hope Prince Jiang can find the reason, after all, this is his territory.
