Zhu Lan is dead

"In two months, the rhododendrons will be in full bloom here. At that time, the mountains will be full of red, as bright as the morning glow. It can be said to be a magnificent sight that I can't catch in a moment."

His eyebrows were picturesque, and he was as frivolous as ever, but his eyes were fixed on the figure not far away, and he never moved a bit.

The person in the arms followed with a coquettish smile, "The most important things here, my lord, are flowers and green grass. What's so good about the blood-stained cuckoo? It sounds quite unlucky..."

"Really?" There was still a smile in his eyes, "But there is someone who likes it."

The finger might as well have been pricked by a sharp thorn, and there was a drop of blood, seeing the blood dripping red on the snow-white petals beside the hand, I originally wanted to avoid this person far away, but who knows that there is nowhere in the world for him She stood up, her back felt numb from being stared at, but she no longer hesitated in her heart, and walked towards the flower field beside her.

Seeing the figure of the person in sight who was about to leave, Liang Ke hurriedly pushed away the person in her arms and was about to get up, but a figure suddenly blocked her eyes, her expression was slightly startled, and when she raised her head slightly, she saw a man with black lines all over his face. people.

He frowned unhappily, and the person in his arms walked away consciously.

"You have been so free these days, you don't want to go to your family, so you are busy looking at me?"

"What about what you promised me?"

He reached out and patted his sleeves, sat up straight, "It's being done."

"Working on it?" Wo Xuan raised his eyebrows, and glanced at the figure who had walked away not far away, with sarcasm in his eyes.

"Look at me, don't look at him." Standing up and pulling him away, Liang dragged him to the side, "The person you want is on the way."

"On the way? What do you mean?"

He stretched out his fingers and tapped on his heart, and smiled comfortably, "It's on the way to give him a hug."

"what have you done?"

"Naturally, he was tied up..." Seeing the depression in the man's eyes in a blink of an eye, Liang Ke smiled and changed his words, "Don't worry, I won't hurt him."

"...You are so blatant, where do you come from?"

Liang Ke patted him on the shoulder earnestly, "As a businessman, the most important thing is to have money and connections. These are the treasures I have accumulated over the years. Now that I have treasures, I still worry that I will not be able to catch them." something?"

"Are you sure it's here?"

Looking up at the top of the head, there are three large characters engraved on a piece of badly worn lacquered wood - Jingnvguan.

The gate here has been defeated and the lacquered door has fallen off. Although it looks like a Taoist temple, it is really far from the description that day.

Not only did Du Xi become a little puzzled, he and Zhou Keyin originally wanted to take this opportunity to come out and pick Zhou Liandi back to the palace in person.

Both of them were dressed lightly, except for the accompanying dark guards who followed behind them all the time, they were very inconspicuous.

Stretching out his hand to touch the head of Ruishou beside him, thick layers of ash were deposited on it, Zhou Keyin frowned, "I'm afraid you have found the wrong place, where is the place where Lian Di lives when it has been abandoned for many years?"

"No way, but I remember that the father-in-law in charge gave it to me..." He took out a stack of paper from his sleeve, looked down at the route, "it's right here, and it's Jing Nu ..."

"Look, is the writing worn off there?" Zhou Keyin suddenly said, pointing to the handwriting on the top of his head.

Du Xi looked at it, and opened his eyes slightly after a while, "That's... Jing'an Guan?!"

"..."

"Your Highness..." Du Xi glanced at him with some embarrassment, "I was wrong."

"That's all." Zhou Keyin sighed, "You made a typo, and you haven't changed your problem for so many years."

"Then what should we do? It's a barren mountain here. If we go to the post station, it might be dark."

"I can't help it, wait here for now, Commander Yan and the others should follow later."

Du Xi responded, intending to stretch out his hand to push open the door, but before his hand could touch it, Zhou Keyin suddenly grabbed him.

"what happened?"

His eyebrows moved slightly, and there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes, "I think we should go back the same way."

Du Xi saw that his expression was different, so he couldn't help feeling that the surrounding bushes were deep and secluded. Except for a small path when he came here, he had hardly seen any human traces. Swallowing his saliva, he was about to turn around.

The door that had never been moved before suddenly creaked, and then a cold light came straight.

"Get out of the way!"

Startled, Zhou Keyin stretched out his hand and pushed Du Xi away vigorously. The two of them dodged to avoid it, and a figure broke through the gate and flew towards him.

"Your Highness!" Seeing that figure jump directly at Zhou Keyin, his heart seemed to jump out of his throat.

"Don't come here..." Zhou Keyin choked out a breath, stepped back quickly, watched the man in black getting closer and closer with the knife, and knew in his heart that if no one came to rescue him in time today, he might not be able to escape this catastrophe.

Cautiously backing away, but quickly thinking about countermeasures in his mind, the man in black wing sneered, and said calmly: "Your Highness, let's arrest you, we are here only for you, if you are willing to give up... "

As he spoke, he tilted his head and gestured to Du Xi who was not far away, "Your follower may still be ordered to report back."

Zhou Keyin looked at him, but there was a tingling thirst in his throat, suppressing his emotions, he suddenly stopped and did not move, and the man in black immediately went forward to grab him in joy.

It's just that the smile on the corner of his mouth hadn't had time to put it away, and there was a sudden sharp pain in his lower abdomen.

"How do you know my fate and his fate, who can be greater than the sky?"

As he said that, he threw off the restraint and retreated back. The man in black suddenly twisted his face and reached out to touch his stomach, only to find that a jade pen had been inserted there at some point.

The jade pen wolf hair was given to him by his father when he was free. It is a hidden weapon. If the pen tip is removed, it will become a sharp thorn. If it gets stuck into the flesh, it can be directly retracted to pierce the whole person.

In an instant, the clothes were stained all over, Zhou Keyin quickly dodged the long knife in his hand, but Du Xi had already run over behind him, and raised a stone in his hand to hit the man's head hard. He smashed it down.

With a muffled sound, the man in black was knocked to the ground, and he couldn't help frowning as he watched the blood gradually staining the dust and sand.

"Your Highness, let's go!" Du Xi didn't even dare to look, he gritted his teeth and stepped forward to grab him. Just when the two were about to escape, a group of people suddenly "russled" from the surrounding woods.

"...It's over."

Du Xi couldn't help murmuring, but couldn't help whispering in Zhou Keyin's ear: "Your Highness, why don't you go first..."

Hearing that even the voice of the person in front of him was trembling, Zhou Keyin couldn't help laughing bitterly, looked at the long knife in his hand, "How do I get there? Can I break out of the encirclement by myself?"

If it wasn't for the fact that he was plagued by serious illnesses when he was young, he might have been able to learn martial arts like other children, but unfortunately he had no strength to do anything, and now he is so weak and unable to accomplish anything. For some reason, he suddenly thought of his third brother who was looked down upon everywhere.

Perhaps, if that person is trapped here today, there is always a way to escape...

The leading man in black suddenly raised his sword and shouted at him: "Your Highness, I have no intention of killing anyone when I come here, I just hope you can come with us!"

Zhou Keyin looked up at him with burning eyes, "Who are you instigated by? Are you really not afraid of death for doing what you are doing now?"

The man in black sneered, "Your Highness will only know if you come with us, hahaha."

As he spoke, the men in black beside him couldn't help laughing out loud, with endless contempt and sarcasm in that laughter.

"Your Highness, don't listen to him!" Du Xi tugged on his sleeve and refused to let go, "If you leave like this, His Majesty will be angry if he finds out."

"...Who said Gu is leaving?" Zhou Keyin looked at him, but clenched the handle of the knife tightly in his hand, "Gu can't be that kind of person who sacrifices himself for others."

After all, he picked up the big knife in his hand and slammed it on the ground. The sharp tip of the knife shook and shot a cold light in the sun, and the thick dust on the ground was suddenly lifted. Those people might as well be fascinated instantly Face.

"Let's go!" Zhou Keyin shouted, and immediately pulled Du Xi and ran forward desperately.

Naturally, he was unwilling to be captured without a fight, as far as he could run now, even if he was captured alive under such circumstances, he would lose his life, and it was better than having to be sent to the door in person.

Only by being known by the emperor in this way can he not be disgusted. The men of Dazhou are all bloody men, not to mention that as the prince of a country, it is related to the face of the country, so how can he be allowed to lag behind alone.

"Your Highness... I can't do it anymore..." There seemed to be a cloud of anger in his throat, and he couldn't even breathe due to the tightness in his chest.

"No, if you bear it any longer, you might meet Commander Yan and the others ahead..."

Sweat dripped from his forehead, and his mind was blank at this moment, only the thought of running for his life remained.

"Your Highness, give up on me..."

There was a faint sound of bow and arrow coming from behind, and his heart was shocked, but Du Xi shook off his hand and stopped, turning around as if trying to stop those men in black who were chasing him by himself.

"Du Xi!" He yelled, and saw the man in black who was chasing up, raised the machete in his hand and slashed towards Du Xi's chest. , rolling in the grass beside him.

The sharp arrows roared, and he raised his long knife to block them with all his strength. The arrows slammed into clusters, and fell to the ground with a crisp sound of "ding", and blood was wiped out from his fingers due to the flying momentum. , leaned to one side uncontrollably, followed the person who came forward, turned the handle of the knife in his hand, raised it high, and hit his knee.

The severe pain hit, and the whole person collapsed to the ground in an instant, and the people who came after him immediately surrounded him.

There was a sound of horseshoes, and the smoke and dust from the stepping forced him to have nowhere to hide. As if his breathing was blocked, he coughed uncontrollably.

"Your Highness, please!"

Seeing that he was coughing badly, the leader laughed loudly, grabbed his body and dragged him onto the horse's back.

The dust is scattered lightly, and there is a burst of bliss, with the whistle of a walk.

But not long after, a figure walked out from the originally quiet and cold gate.

The afterglow of the west mountain penetrated through the broken walls of the Taoist temple, leaving a halo on the light and soft smile.
