Chapter 51 She is a little crazy

Mrs. Lu San stepped out of the Lu family for the first time in several years.

Although she was not imprisoned, she was taken care of by someone, and her food and clothing were not ordinary.

The moment she stepped out of the Lu mansion, she felt like a prisoner who had been imprisoned for a long time. She had not seen the sun for a long time and it was a bit dazzling.

She took a carriage all the way to the Jin Palace.

Mrs. Lu San quietly lifted the curtain and looked at the outside world, feeling a little sad.

But she did not complain at all in her heart, but was more happy.

Who made her status and position unworthy of Lu Lang?

Otherwise, Mrs. Lu's position would be hers now.

But Lu Lang protected her very well, and it was for her good not to let her go out, after all, she was not worthy.

She was already very happy, as long as Lu Lang could visit her more often.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the Prince Jin's Palace.

Madam San looked at the majestic and awe-inspiring Prince Jin's Palace with a dazed look on her face.

Her daughter actually married into such a place?

How is it possible?

Suddenly she understood.

It was Lu Lang.

Lu Lang was capable.

He let their daughter marry here.

For Lu Lang, these were all small matters.

Lu Lang would have to do many big things in the future.

Thinking of this, Madam Lu San had a little more admiration for Lu Chang'an in her heart.

She waited at the gate for a while before being invited in.

Seeing that her daughter had to pass on permission.

Madam Lu San felt a little unhappy that Lu Jiuwan was riding on her head.

"Is this the courtyard where your princess usually lives?"

She looked around.

This place is too big and too luxurious.

The courtyard where she lived in the Lu Mansion was not even half the size of this one.

"Yes, Madam San, this is Yunshu Courtyard. This is the front yard, and there is also a back yard."

Madam Lu San was dumbfounded, "What a blessing."

The maid was a little curious.

She was obviously the princess's biological mother, why could she hear something sour in her words?

Invite the person to the main hall.

Lu Jiuwan was holding tea and tasting it.

She tasted three levels.

Very hot, hot, just right.

Seeing someone coming in, she took a sip, put down the teacup, and looked at the person.

Mrs. Lu San also saw her and looked at her.

Lu Jiuwan was her child, and her appearance was much more beautiful than when she was young.

And it seemed that she looked a little different this time and last time.

Last time, I felt that she was indeed her child, and she was more beautiful than others.

This time, she looked rosy and her skin was translucent. It was obvious that she was well taken care of, like a born rich person, with laziness and arrogance in her bones.

"I have met the princess." She bowed very slowly, thinking that Lu Jiuwan would hold her back.

After all, this was not the Lu Mansion, and she felt a little restrained.

But Lu Jiuwan sat lazily, without moving, and her lips did not move.

She withdrew her gaze from Mrs. Lu San and curled her lips slightly.

The moment Mrs. Lu San saw her, there was no love or longing for her daughter in her eyes, only surprise and jealousy.

I don't know where this jealousy comes from.

Does she want to marry the prince?

"Sit down."

Mrs. Lu San sat down next to her, and the servant brought tea.

"What do you want to see me for?"

"What else can mother want to see you for? It's just that I haven't seen you for a long time and I miss you. Tell me, your father has sent people to invite you so many times, but you don't come home."

In the past half month, the Lu Mansion did send people to invite her to the Lu Mansion several times.

But she never went once.

So she came to the door by herself?

"Home? Is there a room for me there?"

Mrs. Lu San choked.

"Of course there is one. You are now a princess. You will be a distinguished guest when you go back. The mansion will definitely arrange the best guest room for you. How dare they neglect you."

"Guest room?"

Mrs. Lu San: "You have not been home for so many years. If you were here, how could there be no room for you? Don't think too much. You will always be the daughter of Yu Shi, and the Lu Mansion will always be your home."

Lu Jiuwan didn't even sneer.

Mrs. Lu San tried hard to find a topic, but Lu Jiuwan ignored her.

After a cup of tea, Mrs. Lu San was tired of responding.

"Jiuwan, please let them all go. Mother wants to say a few words to you."

Lu Jiuwan turned her eyes to her, stared at her for a while, and then waved.

"What's the matter? Tell me."

After the servants and maids left, Mrs. Lu San felt much more comfortable. She always felt that she was being monitored by the people in the palace.

She picked up the teacup and took a sip, and her posture became more lazy.

"Last time, did you use the things your father gave you?"

"Yes, I used them." She knew that this was the reason for this.

Mrs. Lu San was a little nervous, "Really? How is it now?"

"He's not dead yet. Why don't you just give me a bottle of poison and poison him to death directly."

Mrs. Lu San:... She's a little crazy.

How could she know so much?

She didn't care about these.

"She must be afraid of being discovered. The King of Jin is so fierce. If he finds out, there will be no chance of recovery."

Lu Jiuwan: "That's it. The drug is too weak and the prince is too fierce. He can't be killed by the poison for the time being."

Mrs. Lu San: ...

"Is it not effective at all?" Is he still a human? He must be a monster.

"Yes, he vomited blood on my bed yesterday and his physical strength is not good."

Mrs. Lu San: ...

This daughter is a little crazy when she speaks.

She said that the prince vomited blood again. Her heart skipped a beat and her chest became even more tense.

"Then, did the prince notice anything? You must protect yourself and never let the prince find out that it was you who did it, understand?"

Otherwise, it's over, everyone is over.

"No one noticed anything. The doctor said he was too tired and prescribed medicine for him to rest more. I always add some medicine to his medicine. He has been getting more and more tired recently. He is always pretending to be strong outside, afraid that someone will notice."

Mrs. Lu was satisfied and went back to tell Lu Lang. Lu Lang must be very happy and will stay in her yard at night.

Since she knew what she wanted to know, she felt that she had nothing to say to Jiuwan, so she planned to get up and leave.

"Greetings to the prince."

From a distance, she heard the voice of a maid greeting the prince.

Mrs. Lu San's heart suddenly jumped. Why did the prince come? She was just about to leave, and she was just one step away.

It's over. Will the prince know what she is here for?

She stood up, a little flustered and guilty.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer.

At the door, the man walked in.

The tall figure was against the light, majestic and cold, which made people intimidated.

Mrs. Lu San felt that her chest was suffocating.

Lu Jiuwan looked at this useless mother and felt ashamed.

Not knowing what Dijiang was here for, she sat lazily and watched leisurely.

"Meet the prince." Mrs. Lu San's voice was full of insecurity and fear.

Dijiang walked straight to Lu Jiuwan as if he hadn't seen it, and put the thing in his hand on the table next to her, "Sugar chestnuts."

Lu Jiuwan smelled the sweet smell of roasted chestnuts, which were very strong and made people salivate.

She happily reached out and took out one, which was very big and charmingly brown.

Dijiang liked to see the happy expression on her face every time she got something.

After seeing her reaction with satisfaction, he said, "It's time for dinner, eat one and try it, and put the others aside for now."

After saying that, he turned around and looked at Mrs. Lu San.

Chapter 52 Blood, Blood

Mrs. Lu San lowered her eyes, humble, and dared not look at him.

This man was full of momentum, mighty, like a cold-faced King Yan.

How could he be as weak as Lu Jiuwan said!

He was pretending too well.

Even if he was pretending, she was still scared to death.

He was just feeling guilty, but now he was getting more and more scared.

"Mrs. San, please have dinner before going back."

Mrs. Lu San did not dare to refuse.

The three of them moved to the dining room and sat down.

The table was full of dishes.

Lu Jiuwan and Dijiang sat down without saying a word, and started eating with chopsticks.

Mrs. Lu San was very embarrassed. Why was there no one to serve her?

How could she have the nerve to pick up dishes by herself?

But after waiting for a long time and looking around quietly, no maid came to serve.

So she could only pick up the chopsticks and pick up the dish in front of her.

Just as she picked it up...

"Cough cough cough!"

Mrs. Lu San's hand trembled, and the dish she had finally mustered up the courage to pick up fell.

She looked up at the coughing person in astonishment.

Dijiang covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and when he took it off, he saw that the handkerchief was full of blood...

"Ah!" Mrs. Lu San was suddenly afraid and happy.

Dijiang frowned and looked at her.

Mrs. Lu San trembled, "Blood, blood."

Lu Jiuwan frowned and looked at the handkerchief in Dijiang's hand.

He really put it in the rice and ate it?

"What's wrong with you?"

Dijiang folded the handkerchief and wiped his mouth with a clean place.

Seeing a flash of nervousness in her eyes, he felt that his chest, which had been blocked for a long time, was much smoother.

"It's okay."

"Ask the imperial physician to take a look?"

"No need, I just saw it yesterday."

Lu Jiuwan:?

Suddenly she seemed to understand something.

She looked at Dijiang in confusion.

Dijiang stood up and said to the third wife: "I'm sorry for scaring the third wife. I'm sorry for not entertaining you well today. Come on, send the guests away."

Third wife Lu didn't think that the King of Jin was rude at all. Instead, she stood up happily.

"Then, then I'll leave first. Jiuwan, take good care of the prince."

After saying that, she walked out in a hurry.

As soon as the person left.

Lu Jiuwan looked at him steadily, "What's wrong with you?"

"Vomiting blood on your bed? Your physical strength is getting worse and worse?" Dijiang pinched her chin and asked word by word.

Lu Jiuwan immediately counterattacked, "Okay, monitor me!"

Dijiang didn't say anything. It's not like she just found out about this. Isn't it normal to monitor her?

What is her identity?

He knew that she was not the Lu Jiuwan of the past.

He treated her very specially.

But none of this meant anything.

Seeing that he was silent, Lu Jiuwan raised her chin, "It's even now."

Even?

These things, after she calculated, are even.

Okay, let's make it even for now.

In his heart, he silently took note of what she said about her physical exhaustion.

...

A few days later, Nanjin was bustling again.

The princess of Beiling Kingdom married Nanjin, and Nanjin began to prepare early to show its respect.

On the day of the wedding, the streets were empty.

It was the first month again.

The blood that Dijiang vomited helped her complete this month's task inadvertently.

The man in black didn't even show his body this time.

On the street where she was riding in a carriage, something swooped into her carriage.

It was a pill and a secret letter.

The secret letter asked her to find an opportunity to enter the hunting ground during the autumn hunting to help her companions kill Dijiang and let him die in the hunting ground.

Dijiang was so powerful that people were afraid of him.

She could only plan step by step.

Now is the time to close the net.

Lu Jiuwan threw the things into the space casually. Her current body no longer needs any antidote.

That night.

"Prince, catch the people from the Shadowless Gate alive."

Dijiang stood up, "Let's go."

In the secret dungeon.

A young man was tied to an iron pillar with iron chains.

The man had injuries, but it didn't look like he had been tortured. They should be scars from fighting during the capture process.

Hearing the footsteps, the man raised his eyes, and a glimmer flashed in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up.

Someone moved a chair over, and Dijiang sat down.

He looked at the man in front of him with his head down and indifferent.

"From the time you were caught until now, if you wanted to die, you would have already committed suicide successfully."

The man lowered his eyes and flashed a trace of discomfort at being exposed, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"But you haven't made a decision yet, what are you waiting for?"

The man didn't say anything.

"Are you unwilling? Unconvinced? Don't want to die? Or don't dare to commit suicide?"

The man gritted his teeth and still didn't answer.

"I don't have time to waste on you. This is your only and last chance. Say whatever you want to say."

The man gritted his teeth and smiled bitterly, "I really don't want to die. I'm unwilling to do so."

He raised his head, looked at Dijiang with despair and anger and said, "I am Liang Huai's son."

Dijiang was a little surprised, "Left Prime Minister Liang Huai?"

"You hate him." Dijiang said firmly.

"Of course I hate him. Shouldn't I hate him? We are both his sons. Why can some people enjoy wealth and honor, while I am sent to a damn training camp to experience painful training worse than death? We are both his sons, why am I the one who is abandoned?"

"When they were rich and glorious, did they ever think about what kind of torture I was going through! I don't ask for their mercy, but I hate him for using me as a bargaining chip."

The dying man said things that would be difficult for a man to say on weekdays, and he couldn't help but vent his anger.

He didn't think there was anything embarrassing.

"That's it? You should know that my presence here is a chance for you to survive. But you plan to waste this opportunity."

As he spoke, Dijiang stood up.

Liang Qi raised his head hurriedly, his eyes flashing with panic and despair.

"What can I do to help you? Even if I could, I can't escape. There is no antidote for the heart-eating snake." He really didn't want to die. He didn't want to die. Tonight is the one-month deadline.

He survived once, and each attack would be more serious than the last.

That kind of feeling is worse than death, and the memory alone makes people shudder.

This time is more serious, and it is very likely that he will not survive.

Dijiang: "I want to know everything you know, and I also want you to do one thing for me."

"Before tonight, I can tell you everything I know, but I won't have the chance to do what you asked me to do for you. I only have one request, help me kill Liang Huai, and tell him that I want to kill him."

Dijiang raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

"Shouldn't you hate the Shadowless Sect?"

"I hate it, I hate it, but there are too many people in the Shadowless Sect, I don't know who to hate."

Yuan Cang frowned, thinking that he was not smart enough, "Of course you hate whoever asked your father to send you there."

Liang Qi seemed to have just thought of this, and was a little awakened.

"Yes, this man deserves to die!" He looked up at Di Jiang, "But I can't do anything. Whether the prince will agree to my request or not, I am running out of time."

He was afraid that he would not have enough time to finish what he knew.

Chapter 53: Your father, you kill it yourself

Di Jiang: "I won't help you kill Liang Huai."

Liang Qi's expectation turned into disappointment, and he was extremely unwilling, "Why? Didn't the prince say he wanted to know?"

"Not only do I want to know, I also want you to help me do something. Your father, you kill it yourself."

Liang Qi was a little irritable, "I don't have time!"

Di Jiang was not in a hurry, and just asked him slowly.

"What is your biggest wish?"

Liang Qi was so angry that he wanted to kill someone. "I don't have any wishes. I just want to kill him, the initiator of all this, and destroy everything!"

He was silent after saying this, and calmed down after a moment, muttering in a low voice, "My biggest wish is to get rid of the heart-eating insect on my body."

After hearing what he wanted to hear, Dijiang stopped talking.

Sit quietly aside.

Liang Qi didn't understand what this meant.

He didn't torture him, didn't use torture to force a confession, and didn't agree to his request. What did he want to do?

Yuan Cang left and came back, handing Dijiang a book.

Dijiang saw the title of the book and read it for a long time.

Then he read the book leisurely, and someone prepared tea beside him.

Liang Qi looked up and saw the title of the book, "Only after death did I know that I was the prince's lover who could not be obtained."

Even in such a situation, he was still a little dumbfounded.

How could a prince read such a book?

And how could he know after he died?

Without reading the content, just looking at the title, you can tell that it is a useless book. The prince actually read it with relish.

However, in a short period of time, the prince's face changed.

He frowned seriously for a while, and then raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

At this moment, Liang Qi was the one who had the hardest time.

Time was like a visible sword slowly stabbing at him.

His life was fading away bit by bit.

The people around him were watching him waiting to die.

Liang Qi's anxiety was rising little by little.

"Prince, time is running out. Can you really not agree to my request?"

Di Jiangwen did not move.

Liang Qi's eyes were filled with despair.

Slowly, a heart-wrenching pain in his body gradually became stronger...

He was full of fear and tried to break free from the shackles on his body.

Di Jiang raised his eyes and took a look, then continued to read.

Liang Qi's reaction became more and more intense. He wanted to curl up, but he was tied up, which aggravated his pain.

More and more painful, more and more painful...

His expression was grim, sweat was pouring down, he roared and struggled, and the chains on his body collided with a sound.

"Let me go, save me, save me!"

At the end of his shouting, he could only scream with great effort, "Kill me, please, Prince, Prince, kill me, kill me!"

Di Jiang closed the book and signaled Yuan Cang, "It's almost done, go up and hold him down, and let him eat it."

Yuan Cang stepped forward, "Let him go, control him."

The four people beside him stepped forward together, let him go, and held him down while he struggled.

Yuan Cang fed the medicine in.

Yuan Cang didn't say anything, and the four people didn't dare to let go.

But after a while, the person struggling under him stopped moving.

They looked at him in confusion.

Liang Qi lay on the ground weakly, but there was no pain on his face.

Is Prince feeding him the antidote?

"Let him go."

The four men started to fight, Liang Qi was still lying on the ground, without any energy.

After a long while, he got up and knelt in front of Dijiang, "Thank you, Prince. I will tell you what you want to know now."

Dijiang stood up and said, "Eat something first, and bring him to see me after washing up."

Liang Qi looked up in astonishment.

Looking at the back of the prince.

After living for so many years, only this sentence made him feel that he was treated as a person.

Liang Qi gritted his teeth and hid his fragility.

From today, as long as he can live, this life will belong to the prince.

Although he had begged painfully in front of him for so long, the prince did not take medicine to save him until he was in unbearable pain.

The prince did this because he wanted him to remember this pain, and he also wanted himself to remember his kindness to him. No matter what the purpose. In the face of death, a little kindness is precious to him. The killer has no emotions and nothing but his mission. However, today he experienced a little bit of human dignity. Di Jiang went back, washed up and went to Yunshu Courtyard. Lu Jiuwan was already lying on the chaise longue with a fresh look. There seemed to be something in her hand that could make a sound. She was fascinated. But when he came closer, he found that she had nothing in her hands. Di Jiang wondered if he was hallucinating. But it was obvious from the posture of her hands that she was holding something.

Lu Jiuwan was startled. How could this person come in without making any sound?

Fortunately, she noticed it. Fortunately, her sleeves were wide and covered it a little. She hurriedly threw the things back into the space.

She turned around and stared at him with a little resentment.

"Have you taken the medicine?" He sat at her feet.

"Did you take it? Do you need to ask me every day?"

"You are not good if I don't ask you. Do you feel uncomfortable today?"

Lu Jiuwan shook her head and said, "No."

"Well. Sleep by yourself at night. I have something to do and won't come."

"Oh."

Lu Jiuwan, when she wants him, she sticks to him. He can't get rid of him. His saliva can cover him.

When she doesn't want him, she is so cold, just like now.

Seeing that Dijiang didn't leave for a long time, he was still staring at her.

There seemed to be a little bit of complaint.

She asked: "Why don't you leave yet? Don't you have something to do?"

Dijiang: "Not busy now."

Lu Jiuwan: "..."

She was watching the movie at the top.

After a stalemate, Lu Jiuwan finally sighed and sat up, "Pour me a glass of water, thank you."

Dijiang: ...

Still got up helplessly and poured a glass of water.

"Do you want me to feed you?"

"No."

"I thought your hands were useless."

"Tsk, you are so resentful for pouring a glass of water, you better not need my help in the future."

Dijiang stopped talking.

This threat seemed to have no power at all, but it made him feel moved for some reason.

In the future?

"I'm waiting."

Lu Jiuwan drank the water and asked him, "What were you going to do?"

"To judge people."

"Who?"

"You want to know? You can come with me." He didn't show it on his face, but he was alert in his heart.

Lu Jiuwan was not interested, "Okay, I don't want to."

Yawning, Lu Jiuwan reached out to him.

Dijiang didn't understand, but reached out to hug her.

"Carry me to bed, I'm sleepy."

Dijiang had no choice but to carry her to bed.

He covered her with a blanket.

"Go to sleep. I'm going to do something. I'll come back later tonight."

Lu Jiuwan nodded, "Yeah, yeah."

As soon as Dijiang left, Lu Jiuwan sat up with her legs turned over, took the pillow and leaned against it, and continued to watch her movie.

So happy.

In the end of the world, she didn't have time for entertainment.

She was very busy. Even if she wasn't busy, she was always alert. How could she dare to watch a movie so relaxed?

Such a life is really good.

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long.

Alas~

Chapter 54 The medicine is yours, but your life belongs to the prince

Liang Qi was cleaned up, and his previous miserable appearance was completely renewed, strong and young.

The blue clothes on his body were a color he had never worn before.

Even when he needed to go out on a mission, he would just wear a casual inconspicuous black and blue clothes.

He looked at Yuan Cang next to him, and the servants beside the prince were also dressed so decently.

If this man didn't stand with King Jin, he would look like a young man from a noble family.

After cleaning up, he ate again.

This was the most delicious meal he had ever eaten.

Although he had been to the restaurant many times, the food there was not as delicious as this one today.

Perhaps, his mood was different.

He was ready to betray Wuyingmen.

He would live as long as he could.

In short, he could not go back to Wuyingmen, and he could not go back.

If there was a chance, he really wanted to take revenge with his own hands, to see Liang Huai's regretful and scared look, and to see Wuyingmen being trampled and destroyed.

He was excited just by imagining it, but felt pathetic after calming down.

Yuan Cang brought him to the prince.

Dijiang sat lazily, but Liang Qi still felt that he was full of domineering and kingly demeanor.

He stood in front of him and lowered his head unconsciously.

"Speak, I want to know all the information you know. "

"Yes. I started when I was six years old..."

"Stop. I just want to know the main points. How many people are there in Wuyingmen? What are their specialties? Where is their base? What missions are they carrying out recently..."

"Yes. Wuyingmen has been in existence for more than 30 years. Every year, they select 100 talented children from all over the country to enter the training camp for brutal training. There are assessments every once in a while. Each assessment is a life-and-death duel. Only five people in each batch can survive at the end. Only those who survive are considered to be Wuyingmen members and will receive special training..."

Di Jiang: "So, there are only more than 100 people in Wuyingmen."

"I don't know the exact number, but I know that there are only five survivors in each batch."

Because the missions to be carried out by Wuyingmen are very secretive and difficult, they do not raise waste.

Not only can waste not complete the task, it is also likely to cause trouble.

"Where is the training ground?"

"I don't know, we were blindfolded when we entered and exited. I only know that it is a very secret place, surrounded by jungles and cliffs, and there is no escape."

"Yanbei Mountain?" Dijiang guessed.

"I can't guarantee it."

"Where is the base of the Shadowless Sect?"

"I don't know, I only know that place is far away from here. It seems to be located in a flat valley in the mountains, very large, with many temples. There live pharmacists who make medicine and poison. There are also trainers who train people who have passed the assessment. There are also elders of the Shadowless Sect who are responsible for all matters of the Shadowless Sect. We have passed the training and need to go out to perform various tasks. There is a temporary base."

"Yuan Cang, prepare paper and pen for him, write down the internal contact division of the Shadowless Sect, write down the temporary bases you know, and write down all the people you know."

Liang Qi nodded.

Yuan Cang asked someone to move tables and chairs over and prepared pens, ink, paper and inkstone.

Liang Qi looked at the things on the table without writing, but looked up at the man with threatening eyes.

"Prince, I betrayed the Shadowless Sect, and I don't know how many days I can live. If I fail to kill Liang Huai, can you promise me that you will help me kill him in the future?"

Di Jiang looked at him calmly, "No, I said, you kill your father yourself. He can't die now."

If he dies, it will only make the enemy scared.

Liang Qi: "Why? Why can't I die now?"

"You can't die either. You still have to help me complete one thing."

Liang Qi laughed at himself, "I am willing to help you, but you saw it yesterday. Besides, I betrayed the Shadowless Sect and will definitely be expelled from the sect."

"Yuan Cang, give him the thing."

Yuan Cang took out a fat porcelain bottle from his arms and placed it in front of Liang Qi, "You'd better not keep refuting what the prince said. , all make sense. "

"The stuff in here is the antidote for the Heart-Eating Boar Poison."

Liang Qi looked at Yuan Cang in surprise, picked up the bottle and opened it, a full can, "So much!"

After looking at it, he said in confusion: "Why does it feel a little different."

Yuan Cang said coldly: "Of course it's different. This is the antidote for the Heart-Eating Boar Poison. It's not the drug that you Wuyingmen give you once a month to suppress the poison."

Liang Qi was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

He just stared blankly.

It took a long time to come back to his senses, and huge surprise and hope surged in his heart.

"Is this true? Can it really cure the Heart-Eating Boar Poison?" He couldn't believe it, and his extravagant hope became a reality.

Yuan Cang: "Stop talking nonsense. The medicine is right in front of you. From now on, the medicine is yours, and your life belongs to the prince."

What else did Liang Qi have to say? He choked up and nodded, stood up and knelt in front of the prince.

"Liang Qi's life, from this moment on, belongs to the prince. Swear to be loyal to the prince until death!"

As he spoke, he poured out the medicine.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked Yuan Cang, "How many pills do you want to take?"

Yuan Cang: ...

"One. Keep the rest for later use."

Liang Qi nodded, put the extra medicine back, and left one in his palm.

He didn't doubt the prince at all.

Di Jiang: "Get up. Write down the things first. I have something else to tell you to do. You must do this well."

"Yes."

...

Inside the palace.

Emperor Xuanyi came to Cining Palace, entered the house, saw people, and went forward to salute.

"Your son greets you, mother."

"Sit down."

Queen Mother Wen is now in her forties. She is well-maintained and still looks extremely beautiful.

There is a sense of arrogance between her eyebrows and her eyes are sharp.

"Mother, what is the matter that you hurriedly called your son to come over?"

Queen Mother Wen did not speak, but ordered the people around her, "You all leave."

"Yes." The palace servants left one by one.

After everyone left, Queen Mother Wen began to speak.

"The autumn hunt is coming soon. This time is the best opportunity. We must not let him come out alive."

"Yes, mother, I know this. I have sent people to set an ambush a long time ago."

"Not enough."

Emperor Xuanyi looked at her, "What else do you think, mother?"

"Di Jiang was able to come back alive and well after two years of fighting. Hundreds of thousands of troops could not do anything to him, let alone Yanbei Mountain."

Emperor Xuanyi was also worried that the emperor's uncle was too strong. If he was not so strong, he would not be so anxious to kill him.

"I have arranged all the arrangements that should be made. The jungle is different from the battlefield, and we have more people."

"It's still not enough."

Emperor Xuanyi knew that his mother had her own ideas, "What does your mother mean?"

"Please bring people in."

Chapter 55 If so, he died inside

Emperor Xuanyi looked at the door, and a thin man appeared soon.

"Greetings to the Queen Mother, and to the Emperor." The man saluted, respectful but not flattering.

"Stand up."

Emperor Xuanyi: "Who is this?"

"The beastmaster I specially found."

"Beastmaster?" Emperor Xuanyi guessed something in his heart, "You mean to let him enter Yanbei Mountain and control the beasts?"

"Yes."

Emperor Xuanyi thought about it and felt it was unreliable, "Yanbei Mountain has many beasts and many kinds. A beastmaster can't play a big role."

The beastmaster saluted Emperor Xuanyi, "Your Majesty, I can control hundreds of beasts..."

Emperor Xuanyi was a little shocked after hearing this.

Queen Mother Wen was very satisfied. "Yanbei Mountain is deep in the jungle and the situation is dangerous. It is not suitable for people to enter, but the beasts that live there all year round can move freely."

Emperor Xuanyi's worries were reduced. "I understand."

Empress Dowager Wen waved her hand, and the beastmaster left.

"No matter what the price is, he must go there without return. Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous. Send more people, and the area around Yanbei Mountain must be guarded tightly. No one can go in to rescue them. When necessary..."

When Emperor Xuanyi left Cining Palace, the moon was out, clear and cold.

"Your Majesty, where are you going tonight?" The eunuch beside him asked him.

"To Hezhao Palace."

"Yes."

Hezhao Palace.

Ye Yunqing sat in front of a bronze mirror in her pajamas, combing her hair.

"My Lady, the Emperor is here."

Ye Yunqing said calmly, "Yes, I know. Go get ready."

"Yes."

Marrying someone she doesn't like, and having to share with so many people in the harem, and most importantly, being trapped in this deep palace.

She had only been married for a few days, but she was already tired of this kind of life.

Fortunately, these were only temporary.

She would have to leave one day.

Emperor Xuanyi came in and saw Ye Yunqing, who was as white as snow and dressed in white.

He walked behind her and looked at her in the mirror.

"How come there is no sound when the emperor comes?"

"Did you scare my beloved concubine?"

"Hmm~"

Emperor Xuanyi smiled, picked him up and walked to the bed.

"I will make it up to you."

They made love.

Emperor Xuanyi fell asleep.

Ye Yunqing got up and drank the contraceptive soup prepared by the maid.

...

The autumn sun was shining brightly, and the orange light was peaceful.

It was a good day for traveling.

It was also a day that all the people of Nanjin were looking forward to.

The generals and soldiers who were dispatched were lined up in neat rows, and the cavalry held flags and were ready to go.

The horns were blown and the drums were sounded.

The mighty Royal Autumn Hunting Army set out from the palace.

The cavalry led the team in front, and the soldiers behind them were vigilant and protective.

Then came the team of Emperor Jiang.

The emperor's sedan chair was protected by the generals in the middle.

Finally came the team of high-ranking officials.

At the end were the soldiers on guard.

The team marched out of the city in a loud and vigorous manner, and the people lined the streets to see them off.

Autumn hunting is not only an important matter for the royal family.

It is even more important for the people.

The best prey obtained in the autumn hunting will be used as a sacrifice to bless the Southern Jin Dynasty with good weather and good harvests in the next three years.

Lu Jiuwan lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked outside.

The scene was very grand and lively.

The official road is wide and now very crowded.

The sun shines down, and the shadows of the trees are slanted.

The sound of horse hooves, footsteps, horns, drums, and the sound of hunting flags blown by the autumn wind...

It is vivid and energetic.

Unfortunately, there are always people who want to destroy all these beautiful things.

Human greed will destroy all the beauty.

"What are you looking at?" Dijiang sat upright and read a book. The shaking of the carriage did not affect him at all.

"Look outside, the leaves are slowly turning yellow, and there are also red ones." Lu Jiuwan smiled lightly.

Dijiang heard the joy in her voice and looked along the curtain she opened. The autumn scenery was beautiful.

"I see. The scenery of Yanbei Mountain is more beautiful."

"Really? How long will it take?"

"Tomorrow at noon."

"So long." Although the carriage is spacious, you still can't move freely inside.

"You can lie down for a while if you are tired. We will stay here at night. You can get off the car and move around then."

After looking at the scenery for a while, Lu Jiuwan felt a little visually tired.

She lowered the curtains and lay down. She traveled in simple clothes, so it was convenient to lie down.

She couldn't lie down vigorously.

Her body swayed with the carriage.

She got up again and lay on the soft couch on Dijiang's side. She rested her head on his legs, adjusted her position, and closed her eyes comfortably.

Dijiang looked away from the book and looked at her quiet profile.

In order to read, he opened the curtain here, and the light was a little bright.

He adjusted his position to block the light.

...

In the evening, all the people and horses were tired. When they arrived at the originally planned resting place, the team stopped and rested on the spot.

Those who should feed the horses fed the horses, those who should cook cooked, those who should set up camp set up camp...

All the servants were busy in an orderly manner.

Lu Jiuwan had slept all the way and woke up early.

"Put on your cloak and go downstairs for a walk. You can have a good rest after the tent is set up." Dijiang got off the carriage first and reached out to help her.

Lu Jiuwan was helped down by him. When she got off the carriage, the cold wind blew. It was much colder here than in the city.

It was already very hot outside.

Many high-ranking officials brought one or two family members with them. At this moment, they gathered in groups of three or four to chat and laugh.

Some were walking around to enjoy the autumn scenery.

The lake here is blue. Autumn comes early, and the leaves are basically yellow and red, colorful and beautiful.

Emperor Xun came here with a smile.

Emperor Jiang's eyes passed over his face and said to Lu Jiuwan: "I'll take you for a walk."

"Yes."

"You don't have to follow. It's not the best time yet. They won't take action." Emperor Jiang said to Yuan Cang and others.

Yuan Cang nodded and took a few people to the side to help set up the tent and pack up the prince's things.

Seeing the two people turn around, the smile on Emperor Xun's face collapsed.

The next moment, Xie Mingke's laughter reached his ears.

Emperor Xun glared at him, "What's so funny?"

Xie Mingke smiled, "Little Prince, you should find a little princess as soon as possible."

Emperor Xun: "The pot calling the kettle black."

Xie Mingke: ...

Wherever Dijiang is, he will be the focus of attention.

As soon as he got off the carriage, countless eyes followed him.

Seeing him walking away with Lu Jiuwan, everyone was envious and jealous.

When they reached the lake, the blue water made Lu Jiuwan stop.

He leaned down and scooped a handful of lake water, which was cold.

He sat down anywhere.

Lu Jiuwan sat down, patted the grass beside him, raised his head and smiled, "Please sit down, Your Majesty."

Di Jiang sat down beside her.

"How many days in total?" Lu Jiuwan suddenly asked him.

"Five days."

"Have you been in there?"

"Well, the autumn hunt takes place once every three years. I was not there three years ago. I went in once six years ago, but I didn't go deep into the jungle."

The secret letter she received asked her to help others kill him.

This means that more people will want his life this time.

If so, he died in there.

This is the last time the two of them will be together.

Thinking that he will die, she turned her head and looked at him deeply.

I don't want him to die.

It's a pity, such a handsome face, it's a pity to die.

Dijiang met her deep eyes, and a tingling sensation surged in his heart.

His eyes moved to her pink lips, and he wanted to kiss her.

Chapter 56 Unconsciously imagining various tragic ways of Dijiang's death

The pink lips suddenly opened and closed gently, "A few days ago, I received a secret letter, saying that you should enter Yanbei Mountain vertically and come out horizontally."

Dijiang: ...

"What else?" He retracted his gaze and sorted out his expression.

"Nothing else, just reminding you to be careful. I was thinking, if you can't get out, will I be a widow?"

"No."

"No what?"

"This king will not die in there, and you will not be a widow."

Lu Jiuwan didn't know where he got the confidence from, but his expression was firm.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, he looked at her and said solemnly again: "Lu Jiuwan, don't run around, stay here, and wait for me to come back. I won't let you be a widow."

Lu Jiuwan couldn't tell what she felt, but she felt a little bloated in her heart.

"Oh."

We'll see how it goes then.

Dijiang felt a little uneasy.

Her answer was too perfunctory.

Sometimes he felt that she was transparent and he could see her little thoughts at a glance.

Sometimes he felt that she was too complicated and mysterious. He didn't know who she was, where she came from, why she came, and where she was going.

He even thought that maybe her drastic change in personality was just a means to confuse him, and her true identity was still a seductress.

In order to avoid being upset, he could only hold her hand, let her feel the warmth and strength in his hand, and try to make the two of them feel connected.

At night, a bonfire was lit and torches were lit.

Tonight was just a temporary rest, so they all had a simple meal and then returned to their tents.

It was windy and cold at night, and Lu Jiuwan estimated that it was only a few degrees.

Patrolmen and night watchmen kept passing by, leaving, passing by, and leaving.

The bed in the tent was not as big as the bed in the palace, nor as strong as the bed in the palace.

When Dijiang got on the bed, Lu Jiuwan heard a slight creaking sound.

He frowned, turned sideways and lay down facing her, moving slowly.

Seeing her eyes were open, Dijiang held her in his arms and said, "Go to sleep. We will get up early tomorrow and you won't wake up."

Lu Jiuwan leaned into his arms and lifted her legs to his waist.

It was better for the two of them to sleep in autumn and winter when it was warm.

Lu Jiuwan closed her eyes, her thoughts scattered, and she unconsciously imagined all kinds of tragic deaths of Dijiang.

She was restless.

Annoyed.

She was so annoyed.

She simply opened her eyes.

The tent reflected the light of the campfire outside.

She suddenly looked at Dijiang's eyes looking at her.

She actually saw some deep affection in them.

He like this and all kinds of tragic deaths in her mind flashed before her eyes.

A strong contrast.

Lu Jiuwan suddenly kissed him on the lips, passionately and eagerly.

Dijiang hugged her tacitly and responded to her passionately.

His strong arms tightly wrapped around her waist, as if he wanted to merge her with himself.

She passionately held his face, which was really beautiful and very pleasing to her eyes, and she kissed him hard.

The intense movements of the two made the wooden bed creak constantly.

Dijiang slowed down his movements, as he didn't want his affairs to become a topic of conversation for others.

The quilt only covered his waist, his thin waist, and his thin muscles were smooth and tight.

His naked upper body was exposed to the cold air, but he didn't feel the cold air in the mountains at all.

Under him was a plump, white figure.

And a face with a slightly frowned brow and bitten lips to endure.

He moved cautiously and firmly.

The veins on his arm resting on her pillow were clearly visible.

His arched shoulders were broad and majestic.

His long hair was swept down and splayed back and forth.

...

At dawn the next day, the entire team began to prepare.

After noon, they arrived outside Yanbei Mountain.

After getting off the carriage, several women gathered together to chat, talking about their own strange feelings.

"Is this the Yanbei Mountain? It's so cold and quiet."

"Yes, it's a bit too quiet. There's not even a bird singing."

"That's right. No wonder people say Yanbei Mountain is so scary. Many people say that you can't get out once you get in."

"It's not that exaggerated. The autumn hunt is held once every three years. Many people have been there."

"But I heard that they only hunt outside the area. Few people actually go in."

"..."

Lu Jiuwan walked past them and stood on a high ground.

The scenery at the edge of the forest is really beautiful.

Beams of sunlight fell on the shallow and sparse forest, making the red leaves redder, the yellow leaves yellower, and the green leaves lush and colorful, like a brocade of flowers.

However, when you look from a high place, you can see the lush and mysterious forest as far as the eye can see.

There is not even a bird singing.

Silence, strange silence.

Someone must have done something in advance.

White mist is floating in the sky above the forest, showing how unfathomable it is.

If someone walks in, I am afraid they won't even be able to pick up the bones.

Dijiang, it's dangerous.

She turned her eyes and looked at Dijiang from afar.

"Come here." He said softly, and she heard it from a distance.

She walked towards him, and Dijiang put the cloak in his hand on her.

"This one is thicker, put it on first."

Lu Jiuwan was not polite at all, and took a big and long one, which did not hinder her from wrapping herself up.

She spoke symbolically, "Aren't you cold?"

"No. I have something to do, don't run around, go back to the tent and warm yourself by the fire if you feel cold."

"Oh."

The endless chirping and laughing voices around suddenly disappeared, and they only looked at this side tacitly and quietly.

Night fell, and in this wilderness, except for the moon and the bright stars in the sky, the surroundings were dark and gloomy.

Under this dark curtain, a huge bonfire was lit in the tent.

The firelight illuminated the surroundings, as if it was half a day.

Around the bonfire, there were long tables and chairs.

The nobles from the palace and the court were all seated in the middle, and the soldiers were guarding outside.

On the table were fine wines, delicacies, and sweet fruits.

The dancers danced around the bonfire, clinking glasses, and the nobles drank and talked happily, with smiles on their faces.

Although the temperature at night was not much different from the deep winter in Southern Jin, the bonfire was strong, the chairs had thick cushions, and people were wearing warm cloaks.

The atmosphere was so harmonious that no one felt cold.

Lu Jiuwan lowered her eyes and was distracted.

Suddenly, her hand was held, and a big hand wrapped one of her hands and put it under his warm cloak under the table.

Lu Jiuwan raised his head, but he didn't look at himself. He just drank from a cup of wine.

At night, his figure looked particularly tall.

Emperor Xuanyi paused when his eyes swept over here.

Then he picked up the wine glass, "The autumn hunt every three years is a tradition of our Southern Jin. Our ancestors and the people believe that using excellent prey as sacrifices can ensure that our Southern Jin will have good weather and good harvests in the coming year... Anyone who hunts excellent prey and can become a sacrifice this year will be promoted and rewarded generously according to custom."

"Tonight is a feast for all the brave generals..."

As he spoke, his eyes swept over Dijiang.

"Tomorrow's autumn hunt, don't drink too much, and rest early to recuperate. I wish you all a great harvest and good hunting."

Although his voice was not loud, the noisy scene soon stopped and listened to the emperor's speech quietly.

Everyone raised their glasses, respectful and relaxed, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Xuanyi stood up, and the concubines beside him left.

Emperor Jiang also stood up with Lu Jiuwan and returned to the tent.

Chapter 57 Dijiang is so strong, it is impossible for him to die so easily

The light of sunrise shines from the east.

Outside Yanbei Mountain, the huge camp is busy.

The sound of the horn blows.

Dijiang stands behind Lu Jiuwan, waiting for her to finish dressing.

The prince watches from the side, Baizhu and Baitao feel pressured and speed up their hands.

After dressing, Lu Jiuwan stands up and turns around.

"Come and have breakfast." He leads her to sit at the table.

Lu Jiuwan asks him while eating breakfast, "Shouldn't you be busy today?"

How do you still have time to be here.

"No rush, everything has been arranged, someone will take care of it. You can only bring enough dry food for one day into the mountains, and you have to rely on yourself to eat and drink."

"So you are going to challenge the limit... If you are hungry and thin, animals can't eat enough."

Di Jiang:...

"Shut up and eat."

"Well, you can eat more. You don't have to eat tonight. Save the dry food until tomorrow, and you can last another day."

"There are food in the jungle, prey, and wild fruits."

"Some things can't be eaten randomly, or you will die."

"...Eat, I know as much as you do, don't worry."

"You can't not go?" Lu Jiuwan was curious, can't you get away with it by claiming to be sick?

"No. Autumn hunting is not for fun, but for hunting good prey and praying for the country and the people. If I don't go, many people will be disappointed."

He wants the people's hearts.

And the fight between him and Di Xuanyi can't end because of a sickness.

When leaving the tent.

Di Jiang stopped and looked at her.

He wanted to say something but stopped.

Lu Jiuwan raised her little face and waited.

Looking at her calm face, Di Jiang sighed in his heart. The matter was not over yet, and he didn't know what to say.

"Lu Jiuwan, don't run around, wait for me to come back."

"Yes."

When the sun rose slowly.

The camp was quiet.

Twenty hunting teams, each with twelve people, lined up neatly, each holding a horse.

Di Jiang walked to the front of his team, with Di Xun beside him, and other outstanding talents in the generals in the back.

Di Xuanyi stood on the high platform in front of the team, speaking of congratulations and expectations.

The drums and horns sounded, the foreign flags were raised, and the cheers of the soldiers rang out in unison.

All the hunting team members mounted their horses and rode away amid the cheers.

Di Jiang moved neatly, climbed on his horse, and went to look for Lu Jiuwan.

Lu Jiuwan looked into his deep eyes and smiled faintly.

Dijiang took in the smile, retracted his gaze and rode away.

The sound of galloping horses was chaotic, and it was also chaotic in his heart.

Di Xuanyi stared at Dijiang's back, his palms sweating a little.

...

Under the blue sky.

The huge Yanbei Mountain was as quiet as if it had fallen asleep.

Twenty teams, each with twelve people, more than two hundred people rode into the mountain at the same time, and the battle was huge.

The sound of horses' hooves, the sound of horses, the cheers, and the cheers outside the forest did not wake it up.

At the edge of the mountain forest, the trees were sparse.

The horses ran fast in the forest, and the people on horseback were ambitious, vying to run in front to hunt the best prey first.

Dijiang rode his horse at a leisurely pace, followed by a team.

Soon, all the teams around him surpassed them and disappeared into the forest ahead, leaving only the traces of horses' hooves.

Dijiang was still neither hurried nor slow, all his energy was deployed, paying attention to every movement around him.

The further he went in.

The quieter it became.

The quiet that made people panic.

Abnormal.

Suddenly, a sound of horse hooves came this way.

Behind Dijiang, everyone stretched out a hand and grasped the hilt of the sword, with an alert expression and fearless eyes.

The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and Dijiang recognized the appearance of Dixun.

Di Xun led a group of people towards this side, his eyes full of worry, "Brother."

Di Jiang pulled the reins and stopped.

"What are you doing here?"

"I want to go with you." At least he won't be a drag.

"No." Di Jiang was determined.

"But, I'm worried..."

Di Jiang's expression was very serious, "Go back, don't let me say it for the third time."

Di Xun gritted his teeth, he was really scared, afraid of losing his only relative.

"Brother, you must be careful. This place is very weird."

"I know, go, don't let me worry."

"Okay, I'll wait for you, brother." He left reluctantly and uncomfortably.

...

The further you go in, the quieter it is.

The forest became denser and denser, the trees became taller and taller, the light became dimmer, and the horses walked slower.

Everyone's hands did not leave the hilt of the sword, and they were tense, ready to fight at any time.

Dijiang looked calm and steady, but his eyes were like a hawk, watching everything around him closely.

"My lord, this forest is too weird. After walking for a whole morning, I can't even see the shadow of the prey."

"The quieter it is, the more unquiet it is. Everyone, be careful."

"Yes."

As night fell, Dijiang and his group could no longer be seen in the forest.

The horses were tired after walking for a day.

"Stop, rest here." Dijiang observed the surrounding terrain.

The group stopped and tied up the horses.

They didn't make a fire, fearing that their position would be exposed.

"Prince, there is no prey today, so you can just eat some dry food." Yuan Cang handed him the dry food.

Dijiang took it, a few beef cakes, and a pot of water.

This day seemed to be particularly smooth.

He looked up at the sky.

The dense forest blocked most of the starry sky, and only a few stars could be seen through the gaps between the leaves.

Lu Jiuwan looked at the bright moonlight and starlight in the sky, and it shouldn't rain.

A day passed, and no news came out about what was going on inside.

Shouldn't we report who has captured how many preys every day?

Forget it, go to sleep.

I don't think Dijiang will be that easy.

Give him an injection of zombie virus, right?

No, it's useless if there's no head.

Didn't the ancients always pay attention to bringing the head when doing things?

If he is really killed, there will be no head.

Lu Jiuwan thought and smiled.

Dijiang is so strong, it's impossible for him to die so easily.

Turn around and walk into the tent.

...

Yanbei Mountain.

The next morning, the sky was just bright enough to see things.

A group of people followed the horses' hooves to search inside and finally found a group of tied horses.

The riders were nowhere to be seen.

"We lost them."

"It doesn't matter if we lost them. All their whereabouts are under the control of the animal trainer. Let's go."

Elsewhere, Dijiang had already led his men far away.

They walked all the way until the afternoon.

Yuan Cang: "Your Majesty, we have run out of dry food. We must find something to eat before night falls."

"Yes. Let's find a place to rest and find something to eat."

While walking forward, they searched for edible wild fruits and plants in the forest.

As night fell, they finally found a deep pool and caught a few fish in it.

Every day in the forest is a consumption.

Dijiang guessed that the other side intended to wear them down first, and then ambush them after they were exhausted, so that they would have a greater chance of winning.

Now it depends on whether they hide well or the other side finds them quickly.

After a simple meal, he began to rest and recover his spirit.

Lu Jiuwan hadn't turned a page of the book in her hand for a long time. Tonight was the second night.

Still no news.

She didn't know whether she was worried about Dijiang's life or death, or waiting for a result.

She had to make her own plans.

If he could come back safely, she would continue to be his princess and live in peace.

Until the Wuyingmen came to settle accounts with her.

Because she didn't complete the task, they even guessed that she had rebelled.

Then she would pack up and leave.

If he didn't come out.

What will be her fate?

The prince died, and as a princess without children, she will most likely guard the mausoleum.

But this is the fate of ordinary people.

She will most likely be treated as someone who knows too many secrets.

It seems that neither is a good ending.

What she is waiting for now seems to be just an opportunity to leave.

Chapter 58 In the Forest

Dijiang's eyes suddenly opened, and the two night watchmen also moved their ears at the same time.

"Here they come."

The people who were originally sleeping suddenly woke up, opened their eyes, and were as awake as if they had not slept.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

They noticed each other, and the other party also knew that they were awake.

The hidden arrows were shot here densely.

In the darkness, you can't see, you can only listen to the sound to locate the position and use the sword to block the arrows, and quickly find a shelter.

The sword in Dijiang's hand was spinning rapidly, "ping ping pong", and all the arrows fell to the ground.

He jumped up, his body was like a cheetah, strong and agile, leaving a faint trace in the dark.

"Ah!"

"Ugh!"

Hearing the sound of fear before death coming from around him, the person who shot the arrow panicked.

Only then did he realize that the person on the opposite side had already killed into their team so quickly.

Yuan Cang and others wanted to rush forward, but in the dark, they could not tell who was the enemy and who was the friend.

The prince was more capable of exerting himself alone.

Hearing his companions die one by one, making the last horrible sounds before death.

They began to be afraid and had no idea where the people were.

Only for a while did they hear the person in front die, and then they heard the person behind die.

This group of people died one by one in fear.

Di Jiang stood quietly among a pile of dead people.

In my ears, I heard the sound of 'rustling...'

This was the sound of people walking and rubbing against the grass, and there were quite a few people.

Dijiang bent down, picked up the bow in the dead man's hand, and drew a few arrows.

"Let's go."

When the first ray of sunlight shone into the forest, they finally got rid of the people behind them.

They found a hidden place to rest.

Yuan Cang sat down and asked, "Prince, were you injured last night?"

"No."

"Okay, let's go find something to eat." He took a few people and left.

After walking a few steps, someone's eyes lit up, "rabbit."

The word rabbit attracted everyone's attention.

Today is the third day since I came in, and this is the first time I have seen an animal.

Everyone is very happy.

Dijiang frowned. A rabbit that suddenly appeared?

The person who just found the rabbit chased after it and left.

It was just a rabbit, and no one wanted to help. They all waited for him to bring the rabbit back.

However, a long time passed, and no one came back.

"Let's go and have a look." Dijiang felt something was wrong.

Yuan Cang immediately took two people to look for it. As soon as they walked a distance, they heard several screams, "Ah!"

"Follow us, don't separate." Dijiang made a decision immediately.

When the group arrived, they saw that the man was being eaten by a mighty tiger.

Dijiang raised the bow in his hand, put an arrow on it, and shot at the tiger from a distance.

The tiger was shot in the head and howled, "Roar!"

It let go of the prey it was chewing and rushed towards this side madly.

A tiger is bigger than two adults, but it is agile and nimble in its movements.

Although it was shot in the head, it did not kill it immediately.

"Scatter."

Everyone scattered and dodged. Yuan Cang went forward to check the man who was bitten and frowned. He had been bitten beyond recognition and was no longer breathing.

The tiger rushed towards Dijiang, angry and roaring, with great momentum.

It rushed over very quickly, and the distance was too close, so it was no longer suitable to use arrows.

Dijiang was not afraid.

He leaped with the force, slashed through its eyes with a sharp and fast sword, and quickly turned over to avoid it.

"Roar! Roar..."

The tiger was blinded and panicked in pain, struggling everywhere.

Yuan Cang and others surrounded the tiger together, and the tiger soon died, and the roar from its mouth gradually weakened.

But just after the situation here was resolved, Dijiang Ling's sharp eyes swept to the side.

A long and distant flute sound came from nowhere.

Then, the originally quiet jungle was now whistling.

"My Lord, there are wolves!"

"My Lord, there are snakes! Be careful!"

"My Lord, there are two tigers!"

"My Lord..."

Wolves, snakes, tigers, bears, leopards...

Even on the tall trees, there are strong eagles and flying birds.

For a moment, it seemed that all the birds and beasts in the forest were gathered here.

They were surrounded by a group of beasts.

People may not be able to move freely in the forest.

But for some animals, this is their most familiar battlefield.

There are too many people.

Dijiang did not show any panic on his face, and calmly analyzed how to escape from the scene.

But these beasts would not wait for him to think of a way out before taking action.

They didn't stop at all. When they found them, they launched an attack.

"Sprinkle insect repellent powder on your body, follow me closely and don't disperse, rush out first."

With so many beasts, it is impossible to kill them all.

You can only run away.

The tiger is the king of the forest, and no other animals dare to approach it.

The direction of the two tigers is the best escape direction.

In other places, the animals are too dense and it is difficult to rush out.

Dijiang's eyes are murderous, and he quickly kills the snakes and insects that are close to him.

The wild wolves have green eyes and look for the entrance everywhere. After finding it, they lower their bodies and run to chase the prey.

They are extremely fast, agile and cunning.

"Be careful."

The wild wolf approached the guard and almost bit his leg.

Dijiang swung his sword swiftly, and the sharp and powerful sword slashed across the wolf's neck, blood spurted out, and he kicked the wolf out with a heavy foot, hitting another wolf.

The guards also reacted quickly and dealt with the black snake that was about to crawl onto Dijiang's leg.

Several people cooperated with each other and approached the tiger.

The tiger exuded a look of watching, and its mouth was ready to go, choosing its prey.

Dijiang and his group got closer and closer to it, and finally, they chose the prey.

They crouched down and crawled as much as possible in the grass.

When Dijiang and his men approached, it suddenly leaped, let out a terrifying roar, and the huge beast pressed down from the sky.

The power was terrifying.

Whether it was thrown or hit by it, it would either die on the spot or be seriously injured.

Dijiang's eyes were fierce, and he moved forward bravely. When it jumped down, Dijiang quickly met it with a sword.

The tiger is the king of beasts, and Dijiang is the king of humans.

King against king.

Yuan Cang and the other three, the four of them, faced another tiger together.

The other guards protected around, hunted the beasts that approached, and quickly evacuated to the edge while fighting.

The power of the tiger is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Dijiang's sharp sword cut through the air and slashed past the tiger's claws.

"Bang!" A tiger's claw landed with a heavy sound.

"Roar!" The pain made it roar and collide randomly.

Dijiang dodged flexibly, grabbed its skin and turned onto its back, pulled out an arrow and thrust it into its head.

After landing, he immediately gathered enough strength, turned around and kicked the tiger's skull.

His kick was powerful.

The tiger tilted its body, and its momentum was already weak.

But he couldn't give it a chance to turn over, so Dijiang pulled out an arrow from his waist and thrust it into its nose.

The ferocious tiger was severely injured and fell to the ground groaning.

Dijiang didn't want to fight.

When they were fighting with the tiger, other animals didn't dare to get close.

As soon as he finished, the other four cooperated with each other and severely injured another tiger. The tiger jumped and escaped.

Without the tiger, the other animals that were watching and waiting for the opportunity swarmed over.

Dijiang and his group fled as fast as they could.

As they ran, the animals were also fast.

In the jungle, on the trees, on the ground, and in the sky, they all chased them.

Chapter 59 Killing

They could only flee while cleaning up those who followed them.

Dijiang was in the front, using the fastest speed to figure out which was the best route.

His face was calm, and only calmness could help them find a way out.

The forest ahead was sparse on the left and dense on the right.

He moved quickly into the dense forest, where even larger beasts could hardly move flexibly, which could slow down their pursuit.

But they could not get rid of them.

They seemed to want to bite them and never give up.

The guards cried out in pain from behind.

A wolf bit a guard's arm.

Dijiang stopped and turned back quickly, "Help him."

Everyone stopped at the same time, facing the agile wild wolves, poisonous snakes, wild dogs...

while rescuing the companions bitten by the wolves.

A large piece of flesh was torn off the bitten man's arm, and blood was dripping.

Yuan Cang tore off his robe and tied his hands, "Hold on, go."

This time they were delayed, and the direction chosen by Dijiang was already full of wild beasts.

They could only choose a direction in a mess and continue to flee forward.

Forward.

The originally dark forest became brighter and brighter.

Dijiang vaguely felt that something was wrong.

The front became emptier and brighter, until they ran out of the forest.

Cliff.

It was a cliff.

Suddenly stopped at the edge of the cliff.

Looking down, the abyss is bottomless.

It is impossible for people to go down from here.

Dijiang's face suddenly turned cold.

The people behind him felt depressed.

The snakes, insects and beasts behind him were still chasing him relentlessly.

What to do?

But in just a moment, the beasts had caught up.

They rushed towards this side frantically.

Everyone could only stand up to fight.

There was no shelter here, and soon everyone was in a desperate situation.

Among the guards, two people had fallen to the ground and were no longer breathing. One of them was the one who had just been injured in the arm.

The others also had wounds of varying sizes and were in a terrible state.

The strength of the body is weakening.

While killing the beasts that kept colliding with him, Dijiang kept thinking about ways to escape.

The faint sound of the flute came into his ears, and Dijiang's heart moved.

Thinking of the tranquility in the forest two days ago and the siege of the beasts today.

Nothing is right.

No matter how few animals there are in the forest, there will be no birds.

Tigers usually hunt alone.

Today there are three at the same time.

Except for wolves, other animals will not chase their prey relentlessly.

Dijiang calmed down and distinguished carefully.

In addition to the roar of the beasts, there was also a crisp flute sound.

Dijiang raised his ears to distinguish carefully and confirm the direction.

He killed Yuan Cang and told him, "Send me there."

Yuan Cang didn't know where the prince was going, but he just had to protect the prince.

He quickly cooperated.

Di Jiang followed the source of the sound and it became clearer and clearer.

He took advantage of the force and jumped up the tree.

With the perspective from a high place, he finally found the source of the sound.

His sight penetrated the dense forest leaves and caught a group of people who were secretly watching their every move.

Among them, one person was wearing a blue robe.

He was playing the flute in his hand.

The flute sounded melodious, controlling the beasts in the distance to keep rushing towards the cliff.

It was indeed a beastmaster.

Suddenly, a murderous intent flashed in Di Jiang's eyes.

He moved silently, like an animal that has lived in the jungle since childhood, agile and nimble.

He kept approaching from one tree to another, and finally hid in one of them.

He adjusted his position, took out his bow, and put an arrow on it.

His arm stretched, and the bowstring made a taut sound.

He did not hesitate, and the whole movement was fast and smooth, decisive and crisp.

"Swish!"

The sound of the flute stopped abruptly.

The flute fell to the ground, and the blue-robed beastmaster fell to the ground.

The people around him were startled, drew their long swords, and looked around.

How could they be discovered, they were so far away.

"Go, kill them now."

Since the beastmaster is dead, they have to go.

After dragging on for so long, they are all wounded, it should be easy to deal with them.

Dijiang stood on the tree and put the bow in his hand on again.

One arrow.

Another arrow.

Every arrow was accurate, and every arrow was a life.

Until he ran out of arrows.

Yuan Cang's side.

Everyone was exhausted physically and mentally, and there was no way to kill all these beasts.

One died and another came.

Suddenly, these animals seemed to have their signal cut off.

Stunned for a full second.

Then fled away in shock.

Just bumped into a group of people coming towards the cliff.

That group of people never expected it.

Before reaching the cliff, Dijiang hadn't seen it yet, but saw a group of beasts first.

They forgot that there was no beastmaster.

Beasts are beasts.

In their eyes, humans are food.

From a distance, they could not feel the true power of these beasts.

But now, they were facing them head on.

The beasts' ferocity and cruelty, and the look in their eyes that saw them as food, were enough to scare people.

The beasts, who had come to their senses, faced their prey and rushed towards them.

"Ah!"

Dijiang rushed back to the edge of the cliff with a flute on his waist.

Yuan Cang and others had just dealt with the bodies of their dead companions.

They could not take them away, so they could only bury them on the spot.

At this time, the sky was slowly closing.

Night was about to fall.

Di Jiang silently glanced at the guards who were buried casually.

In addition to him, there were seven people alive.

"There are animal corpses here, and those wild animals may bring back more companions. Leave here as soon as possible."

Yuan Cang and his companions could not bear to be immersed in the grief of losing their companions, and left with some prey as food.

They were all injured and exhausted, and just wanted to find a safe place to rest.

...

The moon came out.

Lu Jiuwan listened to the night birds in the forest and knew that something must have happened inside.

In Di Xuanyi's tent, a man hurried over and said a few words to him.

His face turned cold instantly.

"The beast tamer is dead? Then what happened to him?"

The man buried his head and answered carefully: "He's still alive."

"It's all garbage! It's been three days, and he's still fine! Send more people. No matter what, as we said before, we can't let him get out alive."

"Yes."

With a furious look on his face, he watched the man leave in a hurry.

Emperor Xuanyi couldn't figure it out.

How could a person who was poisoned and vomiting blood last for three days without any problem?

He only brought a dozen people with him.

After the anger in his heart slowly dissipated, a sense of panic arose in his heart.

...

When the sky was about to brighten.

Figures of people entered Yanbei Mountain like a stream.

The rustling sound approached, and Emperor Jiang suddenly opened his eyes.

"Here they are."

He had long guessed that it would not be so easy to get through.

But he did not expect them to come so quickly. Judging from the sound, there were quite a few of them.

Yuan Cang and the others also quickly came to their senses.

They were already prepared.

You cannot win by brute force alone.

"Let's go."

Di Jiang led a few people to evacuate the place quickly.

The people behind noticed the movement and hurriedly chased after them until they were out of the forest and reached the edge of the empty cliff.

They stopped.

On the cliff.

Everyone was stunned.

Chapter 60: Forced into a desperate situation

Wolf pack.

All of them were wolves that were lowering their heads to eat.

Everyone felt cold.

Where were the people? Why were there only wolves?

Even if they could kill so many wolves, they would lose many people and would not be able to complete the mission.

"Let's go!" The leader quickly made a decision not to alarm the wolf pack.

Avoid the wolf pack first and then look for people. They can't just disappear out of thin air.

Seeing that humans had no intention of setting foot in their food territory, the wolf pack did not intend to attack.

They just kept watching these "prey" that suddenly appeared and could run with caution.

However.

A long and melodious flute sound came from the sky in the jungle behind them.

The wolves, who had relaxed their vigilance, suddenly became highly alert, baring their teeth, their hair standing up, and then rushed towards the crowd in front of them who were preparing to evacuate.

Panic, fear.

Where did the flute sound come from?

Why can it also control the beasts?

What do these beasts want to do?

Attack them?

This group of people did not react immediately and flee, after all, there were many of them.

Not sure which beast controller it was?

These beasts may have discovered Dijiang and his group's whereabouts, and were controlled by the flute to chase them.

Thoughts only changed in an instant.

The wolves rushed into their group at lightning speed.

Open their mouths and bite!

"Ah!"

Until someone was really bitten.

They realized that these wild wolves were really coming to attack them.

Everyone started to fight in a hurry.

The leader retreated and looked at the source of the flute sound behind him.

On the big tree at the edge of the jungle, Dijiang and his group hid on it.

"They are there, kill them!"

The people who couldn't get away dealt with the wolves, and the rest rushed into the forest.

Yuan Cang and others fought.

They protected the prince and didn't let anyone get close.

Dijiang was indifferent, with a murderous look in his eyes, and he kept playing the flute.

Of course, he didn't know how to control the beast.

But he knew how to play the flute.

He remembered the tune played by the beastmaster yesterday, and today he just copied it.

Perhaps the same tune, played by him, could not control the beasts at all.

But.

Wolves naturally bear grudges.

Yesterday, so many of their companions were slaughtered, and these hatreds were deeply engraved in their bones.

At this moment, he heard the sound of the flute and saw humans, their enemies.

Hatred and anger immediately filled his chest.

Therefore, the effect of the flute sound was not to control the beasts, but to evoke their memories and hatred.

Soon, Yuan Cang and others dealt with this group of people.

On the other side.

Both the wolves and the humans were injured, and only a few people and a few wolves were still standing.

Three people confronted a very strong gray wolf at the same time.

It was very ferocious and difficult to deal with.

The wolf's legs were already injured, but its eyes were still sharp, its face was very ferocious, and it would never surrender.

But no matter how strong it was, it was injured now, and with the siege of three people, the wolf would definitely die.

The three people faced the wolf head-on, their faces turned fierce, and they rushed forward.

One wolf and three people, the wolf's mouth made a fierce and threatening sound, and the swords of the three people also drew a hunting sound in the air.

Seeing that the sword in one person's hand was about to pierce the wolf's abdomen.

The flute sound stopped and was accompanied by a low but extremely fast wind sound.

His sword had not pierced into the wolf's abdomen, but it had already fallen to the ground, accompanied by his body.

The other two reacted, but Dijiang was faster.

He never dragged his feet and would not give the enemy any chance to react. His sword slashed across one person's neck, turned half a circle, and with a sharp turn of his wrist, it stabbed into the stomach of another person.

Dijiang did not even look at the three people who died under his sword in an instant.

His line of sight was facing the injured wolf.

The wolf looked at him and took a half step back, not expecting anyone to come to save him.

Three powerful enemies killed it together, and it was ready to bite the enemy to death before dying.

At this moment, it seemed safe.

Its cold eyes stared at Dijiang, making sure that he had no intention of attacking it.

Its line of sight circled around, and there were only a few companions who were struggling to breathe.

It turned its gaze back to Dijiang, and after making sure that Dijiang had no intention of killing it, it ran to its companions, circled around, and left with several wolves.

Yuan Cang and others also returned to Dijiang's side, and he covered his arm.

"Are you injured?" Dijiang asked him.

"My Lord, I'm fine, just a minor injury. This wolf didn't attack you." Yuan Cang and others looked at the broken wolves curiously as they left.

Dijiang turned to look at the wolves, and they quickly disappeared into the forest.

It was probably because they saw that he had saved it and regarded himself as a lifesaver.

"Today is the fourth day."

The fourth day.

We can leave the forest tomorrow.

She should still be there.

He looked in the distant direction of the forest.

After a while, he retracted his gaze.

"Let's go."

...

Under the gray-blue sky, there is a vast and boundless deep forest.

Through the leaves, you can see a large group of people in black gathered together.

One of them stood in front of everyone, and his voice became louder and louder, and with a threat.

"So many people were dispatched this time, but not even a hair was hurt! The mission failed again and again, and the master is very angry."

There was a deathly silence below.

No one spoke, no one questioned or refuted.

Because it was useless.

"The master has said that this mission must be completed."

The people below listened silently.

It's not that they don't want to complete the mission.

Who doesn't want to live.

But the opponent is the prince, who really fought on the battlefield for two years and won repeatedly.

"Since there is no chance of winning in a direct confrontation, we can only use the last method..."

...

The night faded away bit by bit...

The sky gradually brightened.

The one keeping watch was Yuan Cang.

He closed his eyes and listened to everything around him.

This night was particularly quiet.

Suddenly.

His eyes, which had been closed, suddenly opened.

Di Jiang also opened his eyes at the same time, and his clear eyes looked as if he had never slept.

The two stood up at the same time and looked into the distance.

Light.

The light that illuminated the night.

"My Lord, there is a fire!" Yuan Cang's face was serious.

The few people who were sleeping all woke up after hearing Yuan Cang's words and stood up quickly.

Dijiang looked around and found a tall tree. He jumped up the tree as light as a swallow, climbed to the highest point and looked in the direction of the fire.

In the distance, the fire was blazing.

The fire burned into a long fire belt. If the fire burned over, there would be no chance for the creatures here to survive.

In such a dense forest, once the fire started, it was almost impossible to stop.

Yuan Cang and others also climbed up the tree, and they all looked unhappy.

The fire belt almost isolated them here and pushed them into the sea of ​​fire.

And the end of this side was a cliff.

This was forcing them all to a dead end.

Dijiang recalled all the roads he had walked, but found it difficult to find a way out.

At this time, he could only find a vacant place to try his luck.

He made a decision right then and there.

"Let's go."
