The sky gradually faded, and Yin Luzhu rode on his horse, deliberately keeping a distance from Gu Tingfang.
At this time, there was a strange movement in the forest.
Gu Tingfang's eyes turned cold in an instant. He reached out and took out the soft sword from his body, but his eyes were staring straight ahead.
At this moment, a sharp arrow shot from the dark forest.
"careful!"
Following Yin Luzhu's low roar, Gu Tingfang's soft sword neatly blocked the hidden arrow.
Within a moment, the forest was illuminated by fire, and a large number of men in black rushed towards this direction, all holding broadswords.
A wild deer was frightened and fled quickly, but was chopped down by a man in black.
The deer let out a mournful cry, staggered and lay on the ground.
By the light of the fire, Yin Luzhu saw the blackened knife edge on the wild deer at a glance.
Apparently Gu Tingfang also saw it.
He tightened his grip on the long sword in his hand, and his whole person exuded an aura of calmness and authority, "What a Xuanqing, this is a killer move!"
Yin Luzhu's eyebrows also showed a bit of solemnity.
She walked through all the obstacles and came to Gu Tingfang, looking directly at him, "Your Majesty, you go first! These are dead soldiers. Their knives are fed with blood-sealing poison. As long as they scratch the skin, , it means that the medicine has no effect."
Gu Tingfang subconsciously looked at Yin Luzhu, a flash of shock silently flashed in his eyes.
During the day, this man clearly said that when there was danger, he would abandon himself and run for his life, but now...
"Qiang!"
Yin Luzhu blocked the slashing knife with one sword and kicked the man in black over.
In the midst of her busy schedule, she turned to look at Gu Tingfang.
Seeing that he was still sitting on the horse, staring at her in a daze, she almost couldn't catch her breath.
"Your Majesty! Go quickly!"
Gu Tingfang's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and he stretched out his hand towards Yin Luzhu, "If we go together, I won't leave such a girly thing like you here."
Hearing his description, Yin Luzhu's face froze.
At this moment, a cold arrow suddenly shot towards Yin Luzhu's back.
Gu Tingfang's eyes tightened, and he subconsciously grabbed Yin Luzhu's hand and took her on the horse's back, avoiding the arrow.
As soon as he clamped the horse's belly, he rushed forward with Yin Luzhu.
Not far ahead is the inn. As long as you get there, the news that Xuanqing sent troops to pursue him will spread to everyone.
Gu Tingfang and Yin Luzhu rode horses and ran wildly, but the man in black behind them was chasing after them.
The clear moonlight shone down, but Yin Luzhu's eyes were exceptionally clear, clear, and with layers of coolness.
At this moment, there was a burst of fire from the front.
A row of well-formed archers blocked the way.
Gu Tingfang quickly pulled the reins.
The horse neighed and then stopped.
The leader of the group, the man in black, covered his face with a turban and stood at the front, revealing only a pair of sinister eyes.
His eyes fell on Gu Tingfang and he slowly raised his hand.
Looking at this scene, Gu Tingfang's eyes flashed with confusion.
He guessed that Xuanqing would send people to intercept and kill him, not only for revenge, but also for the sake of face. People should not think that the new emperor of the Northern Kingdom was incompetent and could be bullied.
But he wouldn't really hurt himself.
From the beginning, he felt that something was wrong with the men in black who were feeding poison to their knives, but now, he was really suspicious.
Today's Northern Kingdom simply cannot spare so many people who can endure the pursuit, let alone such elite and well-trained troops.
