Ye Zhen knew that Lu Lingzhi would not let her get close to the medicine shop. He knew very well what she wanted to do, which was exactly what she wanted. If she couldn't get close to the medicine shop, Lu Lingzhi would think that she had no other way and would not be so strict.
Not long after they set off, Ye Zhen heard the sound of horses, followed by Lu Lingzhi's voice.
"Are you hurt?" Lu Lingzhi asked.
"No, his martial arts are not good." A child's tender voice came from outside.
Ye Zhen was a little puzzled. She lifted the curtain and looked out. She saw that Lu Lingzhi was talking to a teenager. The child looked at Lu Lingzhi with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes. His eyes were full of admiration.
"It's good that you are not hurt." Lu Lingzhi smiled and said to the people behind Guan Jie, "You split up and lead the people behind."
Noticing Ye Zhen's gaze, Guan Jie turned his head and looked at her suspiciously. He asked Lu Lingzhi, "Is she the person you are looking for?"
Lu Lingzhi looked back at Ye Zhen with a gentle smile. "Yes, it's her."
Ye Zhen was disgusted with Lu Lingzhi's tone. She put down the curtain. "Shen Yi is entangled by the people outside. I don't know if he is injured."
"Lord Shen hasn't caught up for so long. I'm afraid …" Jianjia was a little worried.
Ye Zhen did not speak. Her expression was a little dignified. If she didn't find a way quickly, it would be even more difficult for her to leave Lu Lingzhi's side.
The carriage continued to rumble forward. She leaned against the wall and closed her eyes in contemplation. Her hand was gently placed on her lower abdomen, but her ears were listening to the sounds outside.
"Master Lingzhi, something has happened." Someone came over and whispered to Lu Lingzhi. Because Lu Lingzhi had been walking beside the carriage, Ye Zhen could hear their conversation.
She didn't know if Lu Lingzhi deliberately let him hear it.
"The Northern Dark Kingdom is in civil strife. Only tens of thousands of Anhe City's 200,000 troops have fled. The priest temple has been sealed by Wanyan Xi. Now the Witch King is no longer a threat to us." The man whispered.
Lu Lingzhi's voice sank. "The soldiers of Anhe City fled?"
"Yes, but I heard that the 200,000 troops were not the elite soldiers of the Northern Dark Kingdom at all. They were ordinary people forcibly recruited by Wan Ziliang. They had no power to fight at all. The civil war was caused by this."
"Is Mo Rongzhan still in Xia Province?" Lu Lingzhi asked in a low voice.
"Yes."
Lu Lingzhi smiled faintly and said, "Since I have already guessed the strangeness of the 200,000 strong army of Anhe City, he must have guessed it too. His battle with Wan Ziliang is about to begin."
When Ye Zhen, who was in the carriage, heard this, her heart jumped.
"Mister Ling, what should we do next?" asked the man.
"Let's go to Qi Kingdom first," Lu Lingzhi said calmly.
Ye Rou clenched her fists tightly in her sleeves. She knew that Lu Lingzhi was deliberately saying this for her to hear. He was certain that Mo Rongzhan would be defeated.
If not for that nightmare, she would not have thought that Mo Rongzhan would fail. But now, even if she wanted to force herself not to worry, she could not.
"Are we going to look for Sister Shuang 'er?" Guan Jie suddenly asked happily when he heard Lu Lingzhi mention the State of Qi.
Ye Rou opened her eyes and looked coldly at the window.
Lu Lingzhi's gentle and smiling voice came in. "No, we are not going to look for her."
"Oh." Guan Jie replied disappointedly.
Ye Zhen's heart could not calm down. Lu Wushuang was indeed in the State of Qi. If Lu Lingzhi took her to the State of Qi, she would definitely see Lu Wushuang.
"Niang, what's wrong with you?" Hong Ying noticed that Ye Zhen's face was not looking good and hurriedly asked softly.
"I'm fine." Ye Zhen shook her head gently. "Pour me a glass of water."
Lu Lingzhi looked at the swaying curtains. He knew that Ye Zhen had listened to their words. At this time, she must be very worried about Mo Rongzhan. He knew that if Mo Rongzhan died, she would be sad, but death is like a lamp going out. Sooner or later, she would forget Mo Rongzhan.
As long as Mo Rongzhan did not exist, Yao Yao would be his. In this world, only he knew her secret. Who else could she trust but him?
"There's an ambush ahead!" The man in the front suddenly shouted.
As soon as the man in the front finished shouting, several arrows were shot from the grass next to him, killing him on the spot.
Lu Lingzhi's face sank and said to Guan Jie, "Protect her."
Guan Jie nodded and jumped directly into the carriage.
The man hiding in the dark saw that he could no longer plot against Lu Lingzhi, so he came out from the side.
"Wu Ming, it turns out to be you." Lu Lingzhi smiled lightly, but his eyes were cold as he looked at Wu Ming who appeared from the grass.
"Mister Ling, I came to escort you and the Jin Empress to Anhe City on the orders of the Witch King." Wu Ming said expressionlessly. His face looked very abnormal. There was a circle of cyan under his eyes, and even his lips were purple. He looked so strange that it made people afraid.
Wu Ming had been poisoned by the Gu before. Although he had taken Huang Fuchen's medicine several times to stabilize his condition, he had been tortured by the Gu worm. When he found the Witch King and took the antidote, the Gu worm in his body had merged with him. Although his life was not in danger, his complexion became more and more frightening.
"Wu Ming, you are really loyal to the Witch King." Lu Lingzhi smiled faintly. "What benefits did she give you to make you work for her like this?"
"Do you think everyone is as ungrateful as you? If the Witch King did not save you, would you still be able to stand up? If not for the Witch King, you would still be a useless person. Now that the Witch King is still here, you want to betray her. Lu Lingzhi, you despicable person!" Wu Ming scolded coldly.
Lu Lingzhi said faintly, "I am grateful to the Witch King for saving me, but it does not mean that I will work for her. All these years, I have done many things for her, and I have repaid what should be repaid."
"Leave Lu Yaoyao behind, and I will let you live." Wu Ming said.
"Impossible." Lu Lingzhi's lips curled up into a smile. "Nameless, the Priest Hall has long since ceased to exist. If the Shaman King really treated you well, he would have cured you of the Gu poison long ago. He wouldn't have made you look like a ghost."
Wu Ming sneered. "There is no need to sow discord between me and the Witch King. Not everyone is as ungrateful as you."
"If that's the case, then I can only apologize." Lu Lingzhi sighed.
"Do you think you can kill me?" Wu Ming snorted. In his eyes, Lu Lingzhi was still a useless person.
Lu Lingzhi flew down from the horse. "If you can't kill me today, I will kill you."
Wu Ming's eyes turned cold. "You have recovered your martial arts long ago."
"Barely," Lu Lingzhi said with a smile. "But it is enough to deal with you."
"Then let's give it a try." Wu Ming snorted and started fighting with Lu Lingzhi in mid-air.
Seeing this, the others drew their swords and started fighting.
