Zhuo Mufeng was not willing to let Dongfang Lie leave alive. Seeing him running away, he quickly used his eleven life-chasing legs and used two seven-color sword energy again.
This time, he was on guard, and there was some distance between the two sides. Dongfang Lie reacted in time, narrowly avoiding the danger and darting into the vast jungle.
Although he was seriously injured, Dongfang Lie's own skill reached the top 30 level in the Tianxing Ranking, far beyond what Zhuo Mufeng could match. At this moment, he used Dongfang Family's five-star light skill to the limit, as fast as a phantom.
Ben, constantly widening the distance between him and Zhuo Mufeng.
Zhuo Mufeng chased her further and further. According to his wishes, he actually wanted to continue chasing her, but he thought of Su Zhilan again. That woman was much more important than Dongfang Lie. It was crucial to whether he could gain such great achievements and there was no room for loss.
Besides, if he continued to pursue him, there was a high probability that he would lose him. After thinking about it, Zhuo Mufeng had no choice but to endure his regrets, stop, secretly cursed the old man, and turned around to return to where he came from.
But his mind was running rapidly.
Is this action the decision of Dongfang Lie alone or the decision of the Dongfang Family? If it is the former, Zhuo Mufeng naturally does not need to fear retaliation, and even has a handle on the other party.
If it is the latter... it is unlikely. Although there are more and more conflicts between the Dongfang Family and the Eastern Zhou royal family, as long as the people of the Dongfang Family are not stupid, they should know that only when the Eastern Zhou Dynasty benefits, the Dongfang Family will benefit.
Under such circumstances, how could the Dongfang family intercept and kill the Northern Qi prince and his wife?
The whole thing smelled of mystery. Zhuo Mufeng didn't have enough clues to analyze it thoroughly. He didn't bother to think too much. This time it just happened to be the right time. When the task was completed, he would withdraw obediently. Who cares about these intrigues?
?
Flying all the way to the stream, Su Zhilan and the maid were nowhere to be seen. Zhuo Mufeng secretly screamed, and was about to chase after him when his eyes suddenly flashed.
The blood on the ground is still wet, and there are traces of water splashing on the middle part, obviously to hide the traces.
Zhuo Mufeng sensed the tense breathing behind the boulder without even using the technique of cultivating demons in the heart. He smiled in his heart and walked over calmly.
Sure enough, Su Zhilan was seen huddled behind a boulder. Looking at him, she raised her head, her flawless white face showing a look of horror. Behind her, lay the unearthly corpse of the maid.
The panic on Su Zhilan's face slowly faded and she said, "Thank you, Young Master Zhuo, for helping me."
Zhuo Mufeng raised his eyebrows: "How do you know my last name? Aren't you afraid of me?"
Su Zhilan's voice was ethereal and soft, with a hint of natural charm: "I heard the competition between Zhuo Shaoxia and Kuai Liang even in the car."
The Kuai Liang in her mouth refers to the man with the goatee. Zhuo Mufeng pointed to the blood splashed by water on the ground and asked, "Is this your masterpiece?"
Not counting Southern Wu or Northern Qi, no one dared to talk to me like this, especially Su Zhilan who was sitting right now, but Zhuo Mufeng was looking down at her.
I don’t know if she was asking for help and did not dare to offend Zhuo Mufeng. Su Zhilan lowered her head and said: "I am afraid that if Young Master Zhuo comes back late, other bad guys will come to find me, so I made this move."
There was a kind of trust in Zhuo Mufeng in her words, which invisibly brought the relationship between the two closer, and actually made Zhuo Mufeng feel a little joy that he could not understand.
Coincidentally, the moment Su Zhilan lowered her head, the early sun in the distance shone on the earth. A ray of golden light was projected on her face, making her poreless white face look like molded cream, and her extraordinarily long eyelashes fluttered uneasily.
After a few moments, she was as beautiful as a human woman.
Zhuo Mufeng was stunned for a moment.
Some women are only suitable for viewing from a distance, not up close. And the more carefully you look at the enchantress in front of you, the more people think her skin is too good to be true.
The demon concubine sensed Zhuo Mufeng's gaze and her face suddenly turned red, becoming even more delicate and charming.
Zhuo Mufeng's heartbeat was slightly turbulent, and he quickly looked away and said, "It's not a good time to stay here for a long time. Madam, please come with me."
This woman was really scary. After he was used to the stunning beauty of Wu Yuanyuan and Baiyi sister, the one-in-a-million beauties were just ordinary to him, but this woman's inadvertent expression affected his mood.
Su Zhilan stood up from the ground, her skirt was stained with some blood and soil, but she just looked at the maid on the ground, her eyes quickly turned red.
Zhuo Mufeng sighed helplessly and wanted to leave immediately, but in the end he quickly used his internal strength to dig a hole in the nearby soil slope, then picked up the maid's body, placed it in it, and buried it with soil.
He said to Su Zhilan: "I'm afraid the tombstone cannot be erected. Once discovered by the pursuers, this girl's body may not end well."
Su Zhilan bowed to Zhuo Mufeng and said with gratitude: "Thank you, Young Master Zhuo. I believe that Ting'er is knowledgeable and will also be very grateful to you."
Zhuo Mufeng thought to himself, forget about being grateful. If I had taken action earlier, your maid would not have died. However, in that case, I might not be able to defeat Dongfang Lie, and I might even lose my own life.
Judging from this woman's previous methods, she should not be the type with big breasts and no brains. When the other party said this, she must have guessed the reason why she did not take action in advance.
Zhuo Mufeng couldn't help but look at the other person again, but he didn't dare to look more. He just said: "Let's go quickly."
The two of them escaped into the forest and walked a few steps. Zhuo Mufeng felt that the speed was too slow. After expressing his meaning in a vague way, the woman pretended not to understand.
Even though her life was at stake, Su Zhilan was still concerned about the defense between men and women. But on the other hand, it could also be seen that she was actually wary of Zhuo Mufeng.
If it was the unruly Miss Wu, or the sister in white who simply made people want to be bullied, Zhuo Mufeng would have to be shameless.
But the demon concubine is obviously mature to the core, and her allure to men is even stronger. However, the other party's pretentious posture only aroused Zhuo Mufeng's arrogance.
He smiled faintly, and when the demon concubine looked panicked, he tore off a long sleeve of her coat, and then tied her arms. He held the other end of the sleeve, and with his luck, he led the demon concubine through the air.
And go.
The demon concubine was startled, looking at Zhuo Mufeng with a strange light flashing in her eyes.
Because he was worried that Dongfang Lie would move in to reinforce the troops, Zhuo Mufeng ran very fast. Fortunately, his internal strength was extremely strong now, otherwise it would have been difficult to hold on with one person.
After running for a full two hours, until Zhuo Mufeng was exhausted and panting like an ox, the two of them finally stopped at a remote mountain col.
The mountain col was located under a high slope, mostly blocked by green plants and stones, making it difficult to spot without getting closer. Zhuo Mufeng felt relieved and sat on the ground to rest.
Su Zhilan glanced at him, Zhan Yan said with a smile: "Thank you, Young Master Zhuo. Without you, I don't know what I would have done."
Zhuo Mufeng ignored her, just closed his eyes and practiced his martial arts, trying to recover as soon as possible.
Seeing this, Su Zhilan was not angry. She looked around and felt that the ground was not very clean, so she picked some leaves nearby and put them on the ground. Then she slowly squatted down and sat down while holding down her long skirt.
When Zhuo Mufeng opened his eyes, he saw Su Zhilan staring at him unblinkingly, very attentively. Those passionate beautiful eyes had a certain concern and tenderness, just like a wife staring at her beloved husband.
, inexplicably made Zhuo Mufeng's heart beat faster.
Su Zhilan smiled and said: "How is Young Master Zhuo recovering? I feel really sorry for making you so tired this time."
"Don't worry, my dear." Zhuo Mufeng looked away.
Su Zhilan: "Don't worry, Young Master Zhuo, I will always remember your life-saving kindness. When I see His Highness the Crown Prince, I will definitely let him thank you!"
Mentioning His Highness the Crown Prince, Zhuo Mufeng was suddenly startled and couldn't help asking: "Where is the Crown Prince?"
When he saw Su Zhilan's expression was different, but there was no worry or panic, he couldn't help but think of a previous experience, and blurted out in shock: "Is it possible that the prince was not with us at all, and you used the method of driving the tiger away from the mountain?"
Su Zhilan's beautiful eyes couldn't help but blink, and she praised sincerely: "Shao Xia Zhuo is not only outstanding in martial arts, but also courageous. It turns out that his intelligence is also so outstanding."
These words are tantamount to acknowledging Zhuo Mufeng's guess. Anyone would feel elated when being praised like this by a peerless enchantress, and Zhuo Mufeng was no exception.
He smiled bitterly and asked: "Who sent the people who are chasing you?"
Su Zhilan shook her head: "I don't know either, it's either Xi Chu or Nan Wu. By the way, you seem to recognize the old man who attacked me?"
Zhuo Mufeng's thoughts were racing. He was thinking about whether to use the Northern Qi prince to severely attack the Dongfang family. However, thinking that the conditions were not yet mature and it might not be of any use, he smiled and said: "There have been grudges before."
Su Zhilan said oh and didn't ask any more questions.
Realizing that their skills were almost restored, the two set off again. They ran and stopped all the way. Three days passed like this, but they still didn't see any pursuers. Zhuo Mufeng guessed that they were safe.
But because he was in a panic when escaping, he was worried about leaking his traces, so he passed by the mountain village without asking. As a result, he now doesn't know the direction and doesn't know where he is.
As night approached, the two of them discovered a cave that had been abandoned for a long time and simply rested inside. Zhuo Mufeng asked Su Zhilan to stay while he went outside to hunt game.
But when he came back, he found that Su Zhilan was missing.
After getting along with each other for the past few days, Zhuo Mufeng had already seen the personality of the demon concubine, who was very lively and enthusiastic. He guessed that the other party must not be able to bear the loneliness and went out. He was concerned about her safety, so he hurriedly went out to look for her.
After searching around, I suddenly discovered that in a dense forest behind the cave, there was a steaming mist. Zhuo Mufeng quickly approached and found that it was actually a hot spring.
Immediately afterwards, his body became stiff and frozen, and the blood in his body almost broke through his blood vessels.
In the hazy water mist, a beautiful back jumped into his sight, as smooth and translucent as the finest silk in the world. A pair of jade arms that were also snow-white and made the mist look dim, happily poured water on it.
On the shoulders, water droplets slid down the shoulders, but because the back was too smooth, it quickly fell back to the spring surface, and not a drop of water remained on the beautiful back.
