No one seemed to know how Murong Ke became Elder Zhuo's disciple. Ye Zhen asked Mo Rongzhan, but even he didn't know.
"At that time, I was young and willful. The late emperor had many children. Except for the crown prince, he never cared about the whereabouts and life and death of the other princes. Even if I left the palace for a few months or half a year, no one would care about me. Once, I was injured outside and was saved by Elder Zhuo. At that time, his martial arts routine was strange, which I couldn't see from the martial artists in the palace, so I worshipped him as my master."
"You didn't suspect that Elder Zhuo deliberately sent someone to hurt you? Otherwise, how could he have saved you so coincidentally?" Ye Zhen asked.
Murong Ke was slightly stunned. He had never doubted this. Now hearing Yao Yao's question, it seemed that it was really possible.
"According to what you said, I was targeted by Elder Zhuo a long time ago?" Murong Ke asked, amused.
"That's most likely the case." Ye Rou nodded.
Murong Ke chuckled, "Even so, I didn't lose much."
"You are such an optimistic person." Ye Zhen asked with a smile.
While they were talking, the carriage suddenly stopped in a hurry.
Ye Zhen almost flew out. Murong Ke quickly hugged her waist to prevent her from getting hurt.
"Are you okay, Yao Yao?" Murong Ke asked hurriedly, his hands couldn't help but hold her soft body tightly.
"I'm fine." Ye Zhen covered her lower abdomen. Fortunately, she was hugged by Murong Ke. Otherwise, she would have hit the cushion and hurt her stomach.
Murong Ke lowered his eyes to look at her. His nostrils were filled with the sweet scent of her body. His gaze was glued to her pink and tender lips. In his mind, he recalled the time when he forcefully kissed her in Dongqing. She was so sweet, and his heart still fluttered whenever he recalled it.
Ye Zhen gently pushed Murong Ke's shoulder. "Sixth Wangye, I'm fine. Let me get up."
"Oh, okay." Murong Ke came back to his senses and let go of her.
"What happened outside?" Ye Zhen asked.
Murong Ke helped her sit up. "You wait inside. I'll go out and take a look."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Zhen heard a familiar voice. "Yao Yao, I'm here to pick you up."
Ye Zhen's face changed and she looked up at Murong Ke. "It's Lu Lingzhi."
"I'll go out and meet him," Murong Ke said in a low voice, signaling Ye Rou to stay in the car.
"Lu Lingzhi, don't even think about capturing our Empress again." Hong Ying and Jianjia stared at Lu Lingzhi vigilantly. They were somewhat surprised that he had caught up so quickly.
Lu Lingzhi had worked tirelessly for the past two days to catch up. How could he possibly allow Yaoyao to leave his side so easily. However, why was there another man in the carriage?
Murong Ke walked out of the car and stood on the shaft, looking at the man in front of him indifferently.
This was the first time he had seen Lu Lingzhi. He had only heard of his name before. It seemed like he did have some ability. Unfortunately, his eyes were sinister and his mind was too deep.
"Who are you?" When Lu Lingzhi saw Murong Ke, his eyes turned cold. The man in front of him looked like Mo Rongzhan. Could it be Murong Ke? Impossible! It was impossible for Murong Ke to survive after being thrown into the Gu Worm Cave.
Murong Ke looked at Lu Lingzhi coldly, "I've long heard of your name. You are the first person who dares to capture the Empress again and again."
"Murong Ke!" Lu Lingzhi had already confirmed his guess when he opened his mouth, "You actually didn't die."
"How could I dare to die without escorting the Empress back to the capital?" Murong Ke said indifferently.
Lu Lingzhi chuckled. As a man, he was also moved by a woman. How could he not see through Murong Ke's thoughts? If it was purely to escort Yaoyao back to the capital, why would he sit in the carriage?
"Where's Yaoyao?" Lu Lingzhi asked.
Murong Ke smiled faintly. This Lu Lingzhi was indeed capable. His martial arts and legs were destroyed by Ah Zhan, but he still had a way to recover. There were probably not many people in this world who could do this. "The Empress is not someone you can see whenever you want."
Lu Lingzhi's eyes were sinister and cold, "Sixth Wangye, Yaoyao is my cousin. Even if someone has to escort her, it should be me."
"Only a person like you can say such shameless words." Song Jiong could not help but sigh, "As a sinner and traitor of the Jin Country, do you dare to return to the capital?"
Murong Ke smiled but did not speak. His eyes were cold.
"It seems that I have no choice but to rob her." Lu Lingzhi said coldly.
"This Prince advises you not to." Murong Ke said indifferently.
Lu Lingzhi nodded to Guan Jie and said to Murong Ke, "I hope that Sixth Wangye can understand my love for my sister."
Under Lu Lingzhi's signal, Guan Jie quickly attacked Murong Ke.
Song Jiong wanted to help Murong Ke, but he was entangled by Lu Lingzhi.
"Hong Ying, protect the Empress." Jian Jia said to Hong Ying. She knew that Song Jiong would not be Lu Lingzhi's opponent, so she had already taken out her sword to help Song Jiong.
Lu Lingzhi thought that Guan Jie was more than enough to deal with Murong Ke. He felt that even if Murong Ke was lucky enough to survive, it would be impossible for him to recover so quickly. However, he soon found that he was wrong. Not only did Murong Ke survive, but his martial arts were not affected at all. If they continued to fight, Guan Jie would not be his opponent.
Compared to Lu Lingzhi's shock, Murong Ke was also very surprised. How could the child he fought with be so powerful? Who taught him martial arts?
Ye Zhen pulled up the curtain and saw that the fight had begun outside. She was surprised to find that only Lu Lingzhi and Guan Jie were there. She shouted to Murong Ke, "Sixth Wangye, be careful. He has other men."
Hearing Ye Zhen's voice, Lu Lingzhi's eyes were gloomy, filled with pain and disappointment. "Yaoyao …"
When Murong Ke heard Ye Zhen's warning, he realized that something was wrong with the surroundings.
"Kill everyone except Lu Yaoyao." Lu Lingzhi ordered in a deep voice.
Ye Zhen glared at him angrily. "Lu Lingzhi, you madman!"
"I just want to bring you out of here." Lu Lingzhi sent Jianjia flying with a palm strike.
Murong Ke grew anxious when he saw Lu Lingzhi approaching Yaoyao. He no longer fought with Guan Jie and immediately moved to intercept Lu Lingzhi.
Because Lu Lingzhi's men had surrounded them, they were no match for them in terms of numbers.
"Song Jiong, leave with Yaoyao first," Murong Ke said to Song Jiong in a low voice.
"Pavilion Master!" Song Jiong shouted. If they left, what would happen to the Pavilion Master?
Lu Lingzhi said indifferently, "Leave Yaoyao behind and I'll let you leave."
"Don't even think about it!" Murong Ke coldly said.
"Kill them," Lu Lingzhi ordered again.
Murong Ke handed Ye Zhen to Hong Ying. "Send your concubine out of here."
Hong Ying nodded vigorously, let Ye Zhen into the carriage, and drove away.
"Stop them!" Lu Lingzhi ordered Guan Jie.
Guan Jie quickly ran over. Even Murong Ke was unable to stop him as he jumped onto the carriage.
"Yaoyao …" Nearby, the sound of horse hooves could be heard as a familiar voice sounded.
