Because the fire was drugged, even the surrounding horses fell asleep. No matter how hard they pulled, they could not move. Only one horse was not affected. It was certainly not enough for the three of them to use only one horse.
"Hitch the horse to the carriage and take two torches. We can't leave on horseback." Ye Zhen whispered.
Jianjia and Hong Ying nodded and soon brought the horse that had wandered to graze in the distance and hitched it to the carriage. Tonight's moonlight was bright. Although the mountain road was rugged, it was barely visible. Hong Ying held two torches. "Niang, let's go."
Ye Zhen got on the carriage and just sat down, she heard Lu Lingzhi's voice coming from outside.
"Yao Yao!" Lu Lingzhi stood up with the trunk. "Don't go, Yao Yao!"
"Niang, Lu Lingzhi woke up." Jianjia exclaimed.
Ye Zhen lifted the curtain and looked at Lu Lingzhi. Although he woke up, his footsteps were not stable at all. It seemed that he was drugged. "Don't pay attention to him. Let's go. He can't catch up."
Jianjia immediately responded and swung the rope hard. The carriage ran out quickly.
Lu Lingzhi panicked when he saw the carriage leaving. He untied the gauze wrapped around his arm and pressed the wound hard. The dizziness was replaced by pain. He wanted to lead the horses to catch up but found that all the horses were motionless.
He was so vigilant that he didn't even let go of her every move. How did Yao Yao drug him?
"Yao Yao, don't go!" Lu Lingzhi ran up until he finally couldn't stand the drug and fainted.
Why? Yao Yao, why didn't you believe me? I really won't hurt her again.
I will find her again, no matter what the price is.
Ye Zhen's carriage had gone a long way. Hong Ying looked back. "Niang, Lu Lingzhi didn't catch up."
"Well, we … go to Anhe City." Ye Zhen whispered. "We can't stop. The drug will only last for one day."
Although it was only one day, Ye Zhen was a little worried that Lu Lingzhi would wake up in half a day.
"Niang, it's too dark. It's difficult to determine the way to Anhe City." Jianjia whispered.
Now that there was only moonlight outside, it was not enough to rely on torches. Besides, the city gate might not be open yet, so they could only find a place to stop and wait for the sky to brighten before continuing their journey.
"We are now outside the city. If we want to go to Anhe City, we have to go back into the city. Let's find a place to stay outside and wait for dawn before entering the city." Ye Zhen said.
Hong Ying said in a low voice, "If Sixth Wangye wakes up, he will probably come to find Niangniang."
Ye Zhen was slightly stunned. She didn't dare to think about Murong Ke these days. If a person with no heartbeat and breathing could wake up, it would be a miracle.
"Can the Sixth Wangye wake up?" Jianjia whispered to Hong Ying. "Don't mention him anymore."
Yes, could Murong Ke wake up? Ye Zhen smiled bitterly in her heart. She wanted Murong Ke to wake up more than anyone else.
"Niangniang, we are going up the official road." Jianjia said.
"Good." Ye Zhen nodded gently. "Find a place to hide at the city gate."
…
…
Murong Ke didn't know who took Yao Yao. Judging from the way Qianxue was killed, it should be the people of the Priest Palace.
Could it be that Yao Yao was taken away by the Priest Palace again?
No, it was impossible! Qi Ruoshui was not in the Priest Palace, and Wanyan Xi had already ascended to the throne. He had a deep hatred with Qi Ruoshui. Yao Yao would not be taken to the capital. Who took her?
"Pavilion Master, we don't even know where Lu Yaoyao was taken. Which path did she take? It's impossible to find her if we blindly search for her." Teng Ye couldn't wait to never see Lu Yaoyao again. Not knowing her whereabouts was exactly what he wanted.
Murong Ke said lightly, "When you took me away that day, didn't you leave someone behind to watch? Teng Ye, don't test my patience again and again. If anything happens to Yao Yao, I will be very angry. "
Teng Ye's expression stiffened. He had known Murong Ke for a long time and knew very well what it meant when he said these words in such a gentle voice. If he couldn't find Lu Yaoyao, he would definitely not forgive himself.
"It was Lu Lingzhi who took her away." Teng Ye said expressionlessly, "They went in the direction of Ji Province. On the way, they met Nameless, and Lu Lingzhi killed Nameless …"
Before Teng Ye could finish his words, Murong Ke heavily punched him, causing a trace of blood to flow from the corner of his mouth.
"Lord …" Teng Ye looked at him in shock.
Murong Ke said coldly, "You already knew that she was taken away by Lu Lingzhi, but you're only willing to say it now. If I didn't ask you, were you planning to never say it?"
"Lu Lingzhi won't kill her, I …" Teng Ye raised his head and looked at Murong Ke.
"You can leave." Murong Ke no longer looked at Teng Ye. He walked to the side of the carriage and cut the rope, "Song Jiong, let's go."
Teng Ye was shocked. He looked at Murong Ke in disbelief, "Lord, what do you mean by this?"
"Since when did you treat me as a Lord? In these two years, how many things have you done behind my back? Yaoyao is just a little girl, but you still gave the order to kill her. I didn't know that you can't even tolerate a little girl. " Murong Ke was extremely disappointed in Teng Ye. If he continued to indulge him, Teng Ye would definitely not know where he was wrong.
"That's because you didn't even do proper things for her. I'm doing it for your own good." Teng Ye cried out unwillingly.
Murong Ke said coldly, "Don't push the blame onto others for your own selfishness. Teng Ye, if you treated me as a Lord, then you wouldn't have ignored my words. If you truly treated me as a friend, then you wouldn't have intentionally put Yaoyao in danger. You know that I view her as more important than my own life."
Teng Ye opened his mouth, and after a while, he said with difficulty, "You don't cherish your own life. As a friend, how can I watch you always die for a woman that you can't have?"
A lifetime is so long, who knows what will happen in the future. Murong Ke thought of everything he saw in his dream. He might not necessarily not be able to be with Yaoyao.
"Things that you don't think are worth it, but I feel that they are worth it. You aren't me, so you can't decide everything for me." Murong Ke said coldly. He no longer looked at Teng Ye and said to Song Jiong, "Let's go!"
"Lord!" Teng Ye looked at Murong Ke's back and shouted.
Song Jiong looked at Teng Ye as if he wanted to say something. He sighed in his heart. Maybe Teng Ye should really reflect on himself.
The Empress of the Jin Kingdom didn't do anything wrong. If it wasn't for her, their Lord would never have woken up and would have been tortured by the parasites. Teng Ye only thought about his own feelings and never thought about others.
Teng Ye stood on the spot and stared blankly at Murong Ke who was walking further and further away. He clenched his fists tightly.
