Mu Jinghu's heart was burning with anxiety. Because of his stupidity and lack of flexibility, they had already been delayed for an entire day. During this period of time, he did not know if there were people from the higher-ups coming to kill him. He also did not know what danger Qin Yining would encounter if he stayed by the side of the bandits.
Mu Jinghu knew his character well. He was stingy, dumb and not smart. His character was passable, but he also had an unreliable Martial Uncle who was dragging him down. It was not easy for him to have such a good friend like Pang Xiao. Mu Jinghu really did not want to lose him. Moreover, a man of his word had enormous weight. Since he had promised Pang Xiao that he would protect Qin Yining, how could he go back on his word?
He anxiously wanted to hurry on, but Tian Jizi's riding skills were not very good. If he was a little faster, he would wobble and almost fall off the back of the horse.
Mu Jinghu had no choice. "Martial Uncle, why don't I carry you? Let's share a ride? "
"You'll carry me?" Tian Jizi pursed her lips in disdain. "I won't. If you're really in a hurry, you can go first. I can ride slowly from behind. "
Mu Jinghu was angry and helpless. If he went any slower, what if something happened to him? However, looking at Tian Jizi's innocent face, Mu Jinghu was completely helpless. She was his Martial Uncle, and he could not hit her, scold her, persuade her, or persuade her. Mu Jinghu even suspected that Grandmaster had deliberately left to travel for so many years without any news in order to avoid Martial Uncle …
"If I could leave, I would have left long ago. Martial Uncle knows that I will not leave you alone. Don't say such things in the future." Mu Jinghu sighed.
Tian Jizi clicked her tongue twice. Looking at Mu Jinghu's agitated, angry, and helpless expression, she knew that if she continued to play, Mu Jinghu would very likely fly into a rage out of humiliation.
Tian Jizi softened his tone and said, "Don't worry. Even if someone wants to make a move, it won't be near the capital. The Family Qin team is so long and there are so many people. It's impossible for them to rush. They will definitely delay a lot of time on the road. They won't be able to go far, so the possibility of something happening today is not high.
。”
"Really?" Mu Jinghu was skeptical. He did not believe Tian Jizi's words, but he hoped that she was telling the truth.
Tian Jizi did not explain. He only snorted and said, "It's up to you to believe it or not."
Her nonchalant attitude made Mu Jinghu believe her and he felt more at ease.
The two of them rushed into the night. Tian Jizi's speed was getting slower and slower. She sat on the back of the horse and complained.
"Aiyo, my thighs hurt! My old waist is going to break from the bumpy ride! I'm so sleepy. Why don't we rest for a while? Sleep for a while before continuing? "
Mu Jinghu did not say a word. He followed closely behind Tian Jizi with a sullen face and mercilessly whipped Tian Jizi's horse.
The speed suddenly increased, and Tian Jizi almost fell.
"Aiya! You bastard! "
Tian Jizi cursed and Mu Jinghu pulled a long face. The two of them rushed forward for a while and then slowed down at the same time.
There was a faint smell of blood in the air.
Tian Jizi suddenly looked serious and said, "Something might have happened."
Mu Jinghu's heart almost jumped out of his chest.
"It can't be the Qin Clan, right?" He knew that Qin Yining did not have a single follower. His companions were all bandits.
But if the bandits really killed someone, the smell of blood would not be so strong!
The further they went, the stronger the smell of blood in the air. Mu Jinghu became more and more nervous. The smell of blood from one person's death could not be so strong. Could it be that the whole group was slaughtered?
Could it be that Your Majesty made a move?
Mu Jinghu was anxious, so he increased his speed.
Tian Jizi was furious. He said in a low voice, "You better be careful. What's the hurry!"
But Mu Jinghu's horse had already galloped far away.
After making a turn, Mu Jinghu slowed down.
Under the pitch-black night, a bright moon hung high in the sky. The cold moonlight clearly illuminated the hell-like scene in the wilderness. Near and far, there were corpses everywhere. Not to mention rivers of blood, but this scene was really too "spectacular". The pungent smell of blood made people uncomfortable. Even Tianji Zi and Mu Jinghu felt a burst of nausea in their hearts.
"Martial Uncle, this …" Mu Jinghu suddenly stopped talking.
He looked in the direction of the forest defensively.
From the deep ditches by the roadside, in the grass, and in the forest, more than a hundred people were rushing over with weapons in their hands. The weapons in their hands shone with a cold light under the moonlight, making people feel timid just by looking at them.
Mu Jinghu's heart skipped a beat. He held onto Tian Jizi's reins tightly.
The other party was obviously well-trained. They were different from the usual guards. Each of them had an awe-inspiring aura and concealed a murderous intent.
Tian Jizi clicked his tongue and said, "This is bad." As he said that, he urged his horse to move closer to Mu Jinghu.
Mu Jinghu pursed his lips. Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask, he saw the encirclement separating. A very familiar person walked out.
Mu Jinghu could not recall where he had seen this person before. His brows gradually furrowed.
Mu Jinghu could not recall this person, but this person recognized him at a glance.
"Catch him! He is one of Prince Zhongshun's men! "
"Yes!" More than a hundred people immediately responded. They waved their weapons and rushed forward.
Mu Jinghu finally grasped a thought that flashed through his mind. Wasn't this person the one who had followed Qin Yining to Jianchuan City and caused havoc in the Qiu Family?
So these were the Qiu Family's troops!
In that case, the hundreds of corpses on the ground were all the Qiu Family's doing? Did they kill Qin Yining as well?
Mu Jinghu gritted his teeth. He was unable to restrain his anger. He pulled out the flexible sword that was coiled around his waist. There was a buzzing sound in the air. The flexible sword that was originally hanging by its side suddenly became as hard as steel in Mu Jinghu's hand.
"Whoever dares to come near, don't blame me for being merciless!"
Mu Jinghu's aura was too frightening. The Qiu Family's troops were so frightened that they slowed down their footsteps.
Mu Jinghu saw the opportunity. He pulled Tian Jizi's reins and rushed out with her.
The two of them rode on horseback. Their main goal was to break out of the encirclement. The speed of their horses was naturally not slow. When the other party was unprepared, they gained a temporary advantage.
However, the people sent by the Qiu Family this time were more well-trained. Mu Jinghu originally wanted to take Tian Jizi by surprise and rush out. But now, he was stuck like a sticky cake. Moreover, the Qiu Family did not care about the rules of the Jianghu. More than a hundred people actually took turns to fight with Mu Jinghu.
Mu Jinghu's eyes were frosty. When he thought that Qin Yining might have been killed by the Qiu Family, he was filled with resentment. He really did not know how to explain this to Pang Xiao!
In a fit of anger, Mu Jinghu rushed out even more ruthlessly.
The Qiu Family did not show any signs of weakness. They all went to chop off the legs of the horses.
Mu Jinghu dodged in time. But that was not the case for Tian Jizi. She was not an expert at riding a horse. Now that she was surrounded by so many people and was exhausted from rushing for half the night, she could not do anything when she saw that someone was coming to chop off her horse's leg.
Tian Jizi cursed Qin Yining in her heart. She should have killed him back then! All of her predictions were very accurate. It could be said that she was confident and had the ability to predict everything in the world. But when it came to Qin Yining, everything would be out of her control and become unpredictable.
Qin Yining was the biggest variable.
At this time, Tian Jizi's heart was shocked and scared. Could it be that the disaster that she thought she had escaped had once again happened unexpectedly because of Qin Yining?
The horse's leg was chopped off and it fell to the ground with a loud neigh.
Tianji Zi screamed in fright as he fell down with his eyes closed. Before he landed, he had already imagined himself being hacked to death by a flurry of blades in his mind.
In the nick of time, Mu Jinghu forcefully withstood the other party's sword and extended her arm to catch Divine Predictor Zi. In any case, she helped Divine Predictor Zi break free from the falling force. He fell to the ground with his limbs spread out. Fortunately, he didn't fall to his death.
But at this time, everyone was attacking together. Mu Jinghu dodged the incoming sword, and Tian Jizi was once again exposed to the enemy's sword.
"Stop it! Or I'll kill her! "
Qiu Feipu strode forward and lifted Tian Jizi up by the collar with one hand, while the other hand grabbed a sword and pressed it against Tian Jizi's neck. A line of blood flowed down because he could not control his strength.
"Stop stop stop! Stop! "Tianji Zi was so frightened that he screamed miserably.
Mu Jinghu turned around and saw that Tian Jizi was taken down. His heart went cold.
It's over, it's all over now.
He originally had the ability to take Tian Jizi and escape from here, but Tian Jizi was caught at this time. He could not ignore her life and death.
Could it be that this was the bloody disaster that she had foreseen?
"Still not stopping?" Qiu Feipu sneered, "I know you are the Prince Zhongshun's bodyguard, and I also know that you are Qiu Feishan's husband! As long as you surrender, I won't kill you. Otherwise, I'll end her right now! "
Mu Jinghu's heart beat faster, and the hand holding the sword tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened again. It seemed that Qiu Yuanming had arranged spies outside, otherwise how would he know that Qiu Feishan married him?
Tian Jizi had a knife on her neck, and the stinging wound stimulated her emotions even more. "You still don't agree? Do you want to take the opportunity to kill me!"
Her shout finally made Mu Jinghu make a decision.
He could not let his Martial Uncle die. Otherwise, wouldn't he be betraying his sect?
Mu Jinghu threw away the soft sword in his hand.
The Qiu Family's men of sacrifice immediately stepped forward and tied Mu Jinghu's arms behind his back. They took a rope and tied him up like a dumpling.
Tian Jizi was kicked and fell to the ground with a cry. She was also caught and tied together with Mu Jinghu.
Qiu Feipu looked around and said: "It's good to have these two people back. Let's go! "
His men all agreed, and took Mu Jinghu and Tian Jizi away.
Mu Jinghu's reaction was slow, but he immediately reacted.
Just now, the man said that it was good to bring them back to "report". That meant that these people did not complete their initial mission.
They must have been sent to rob the Family Qin's funeral procession, but they did not complete it.
So the mountain bandit corpses all over the ground, perhaps it was arranged by His Highness?
Was Qin Yining still alive, or had he been killed by Li Qitian's people?
Mu Jinghu was puzzled, and could only be sent to a stronghold of the Qiu Family near Jianchuan with Tian Jizi.
