Blood Eater

Chapter 68 Another Pit

Deng Yi shook the broken sword in his hand at her and motioned whether to do it or not.

Chu Ruoxi made a silent gesture and pointed to the wooden bridge across the river. There was a grass at the head of the bridge, and the chat came from it.

I don't know how these mountain villagers are so clear about the affairs of the court. She has doubted the origin of these people, and now she is more and more surprised.

In just a few days after the accident in Tianen Temple, Chu Yuanshan personally went to Dingfeng Mountain to find her whereabouts, and privately sent people to look for her. The Duke of Dingguo has always acted secretly, and these people can actually know one or two!

"There are at least three people in the room. What's the girl's plan?" Deng Yi asked in a low voice.

Chu Ruoxi felt that Deng Yi was more eager to leave this place than her. For these people in Longweitun, she always felt that it was related to the previous dynasty, but she didn't know whether it was an enemy or a friend!

She thought about it and nodded with acquiescence.

Deng Yi wink at Dong Fu and let Yang Yiping stay outside and don't let people run away!

If you don't kill these people, you can't retreat completely!

Deng Yi didn't have much trouble. He took Chu Ruoxi across the bridge quietly.

Across the river is a land of lake grass with hidden organs. If it hadn't been for the well-informed Deng Yi, several people would have been tricked.

Longweitun was isolated from the world and passed through a desolate reed land before finding a mountain path that only one horse can pass through. At his feet is the rushing river, which is full of danger.

Chu Ruoxi looked back and returned to this place in the future. He could only take away the treasures in the mountains by boat.

The four did not stop. They ran for dozens of miles in one breath. Finally, they saw a small town and found an inn to rest.

Chu Ruoxi remembered that the old man Longweitun Huang said that there was a town 20 miles away, and he felt that he should be at least 40 miles away along this way.

It can be seen that what Mr. Huang said in Longweitun is not credible at all!

This town is not small, and there are a lot of people coming and going.

On the morning of the second day, Chu Ruoxi found a clothing store in the town and changed into clean new clothes.

Returning to the world, Dong Fu was very excited and was curious about everything. He even believed what Chu Ruoxi said. There were many women, and he didn't have to worry about the succession.

"Make way, get out of the way!" A pair of officers and soldiers interspersed through the street, causing **.

Chu Ruoxi pulled Yang Yiping, "There are officers and soldiers!"

Yang Yiping shook his head, "No!"

She understands what Yang Yiping means. At present, she is in an unknown situation and must not reveal her identity at will.

Chu Ruoxi gave up the idea of finding officers and soldiers to escort him and asked Yang Yiping in a low voice, "Are we going back like this?" The shopkeeper said that this is the ancient town under the jurisdiction of Chang'an County. It is not far from the capital of Chang'an and hundreds of miles away from the capital.

"Don't worry, Deng Yi will help you figure it out."

Sure enough, Deng Yi came to ask for instructions on whether to hire a carriage, firstly, to save footpower, and secondly to avoid being too ostentatious and causing unnecessary trouble.

Of course, you have to hire a car!

Deng Yi hired a carriage. Dong Fu was curious about everything outside and sat in front of the car. Deng Yi and Yang Yiping stayed in the car with Chu Ruoxi.

Chu Ruoxi put down the curtain and looked at Dong Fu with a light smile in his eyes: "Finally, I can go back to the capital. In retrospect, it's like a dream. Now, can you tell me what happened on Dingfeng Mountain?"

Dong Fu was slightly stunned, looked a little unnatural, and quickly calmed down. "At that time, it was a mess and night, and I didn't know much about some things."

Chu Ruoxi smiled and said, "How many people do you have?"

Dong Fu glanced at Yang Yiping sitting on one side and was very puzzled by Chu Ruoxi. The person he wanted to kill was here. How could he say his own story in front of him?

"Girl, I'm the only one."

Chu Ruoxi laughed, "Deng Yi, the Third Highness is not to blame you. What else do you have to worry about?"

"Real, Your Highness?" She deliberately looked at Yang Yiping.

"He is a bad guy."

Yang Yiping said something uncooperatively.

"At that time, it was very chaotic. We dispatched more than a dozen brothers. Originally... Originally, it was to assassinate the prince, but the prince did not go and found that there were several waves of killers, but the target was not the prince."

Chu Ruoxi sat up and said, "Oh... I went to the back mountain and missed what happened in front of me. Do you think those people don't assassinate the prince? Are they coming to kill me?"

"Yes, but not all."

Deng Yi thought for a moment, "The target of the killer is very clear. One group intends to get rid of the girl, but there are not many people, and the assassin who wants to get rid of the Duke of Ding is the most powerful, but unfortunately it is also empty, and another group of people want to kill this stupid prince."

"Impossible!" Chu Ruoxi didn't believe it, "They are all assassins. They must be hidden. How do you say it as if you know everything?"

"What's the surprise? We learned that the prince was going to Tian'en Temple and prepared for the mountain early in the morning. After so many years of full-time killing, how could we not even see his colleagues?" Deng Yi is unconvinced.

He sneered and said, "The most ridiculous thing is that someone is going to assassinate such a fool, and I don't know who the fool is doing?"

When Yang Yiping heard the words, his face turned black: "You are a fool. You have said so many lies, and you want to deceive your sister Ruoxi."

"I don't care about you!" Deng Yi snorted coldly. If it hadn't been for Chu Ruoxi, he really wanted to stab him to death with a sword.

"Ha ha, it's not a lie. You said that you wanted to kill me in Juegu, but now you say that the person you want to kill is my royal brother. You are not a liar?"

"Nonsense."

The sharp sword in Deng Yi's hand flashed and was stopped by Chu Ruoxi. She said angrily, "What do you want to do?"

"Hmm!" Deng Yi sat back, stared at Yang Yiping coldly, and stopped talking.

"Someone assassinated my father? Who can you find out when you step on it?

"The Duke of Ding is a powerful dynasty. Under one person and above 10,000 people, there are naturally many people who want to kill him. Presumably, after the girl returned home, the Duke of Ding has found out who he is."

Chu Ruoxi sighed gently, looked at Yang Yiping, and then lowered her head slightly and frowned, as if she were thinking.

In fact, she had already guessed that this matter was not simple, but she just wanted Yang Yiping to understand that someone also wanted to attack him.

Even if he pretends to be crazy and has no intention to fight, as long as he lives in this world, he will always be a thorn in the eyes of others and will always be the worry of others.

Yang Yiping's conversation with them was always uninterested. When Deng Yi said "stupid", he hated it. Seeing that the two of them didn't say anything for a while, he felt bored.

Seeing that Chu Ruoxi was unhappy, he comforted, "Don't worry, sister Ruoxi. I will protect you."

I don't know whether he is a "stupid word" or a heartfelt word. Chu Ruoxi answered casually, and the car became quiet.

"A lot of horses!" Dong Fu in front of the car suddenly shouted.

Chu Ruoxi picked up the curtain and saw that more than a dozen horses galloped towards him, from far to near. Chu Ruoxi shook his hand and quickly became invisible in the car.

She saw it correctly. The woman in red who passed by looked lonely and arrogant. She was the " maid" Hong Ying beside Liang Ziyang.

Liang Ziyang!

Chu Ruoxi silently said the name. The man knew his whereabouts. At the moment of life and death in the back of Tianen Temple, he thought it was his rescue, but when he was forced to fall off the cliff, he could not see him.

Why is there no trace of him on such an important occasion?

The direction of Hongying is Huangu Town, where she has just left. Did Liang Ziyang find out her whereabouts?

"Oh!"

Deng Yi looked strange and whispered gently, which made Chu Ruoxi happy and asked, "Do you know the person who just passed?"

Deng Yi moved the corners of his mouth, fiddled with the broken sword in his hand, and said casually, "I don't know!"

Chu Ruoxi guessed that he was worried about Yang Yiping. After thinking about it, Liang Ziyang was of great importance, and it was right to hide something from Yang Yiping.

stopped asking questions and laughed at herself: "The woman in the past just now is so cold and beautiful, but she is quite right with you."

Yang Yiping, who has been silent, couldn't help laughing, "Sister Ruoxi, when will you still count the eight characters? Why don't you help me calculate and see if we fit!"

"Deng Yi, I have no problem with who you want to kill." Chu Ruoxi gave up and was a little far away from Yang Yiping.

"Good!" Deng Yi sneered.

Yang Yiping was so scared that he quickly leaned up and said, "Sister Ruoxi, help, he will really kill people."

“......”

There are more and more pedestrians on the road. It seems that they are approaching the capital. Chu Ruoxi is also relieved.

She closed her eyes and leaned against the car, intending to take a rest.

There was a lot of noise outside the car and there were many vehicles. Yang Yiping asked Deng Yi, "What happened?"

Deng Yi said, "It's time to enter the city. The officers and soldiers are checking."

Chu Ruoxi, who had just closed her eyes, suddenly opened her eyes and said, "Have you entered the city so soon?" There was a trace of suspicion in her happy eyes, "The carriage is a little too fast."

"Your Majesty, we are all good people." The carriage stopped, and the driver explained to the officers and soldiers in front of him.

It didn't take much trouble, and the carriage entered the city smoothly.

Deng Yi grinned at Chu Ruoxi's doubts, "Don't worry, girl, she will be there soon."

Chu Ruoxi nodded, reached out to lift the curtain, and sighed, "I haven't returned for a few days. I don't know how anxious my father is!"

"Girl, don't worry!" Deng Yi took action super fast and clasped Chu Ruoxi's wrist and put it behind him. "There are many people and mixed eyes. It's better for the girl not to show her face."

"You...Deng Yi, what are you doing?" Chu Ruoxi was about to struggle when Deng Yi's broken sword was under her neck, "Don't move! And you...stupid!"

Yang Yiping was about to come up to save Chu Ruoxi, but was stopped by Deng Yi. His wrist moved gently and the coldness forced Chu Ruoxi to shrink back.

"Your Highness, don't mess around!" Chu Ruoxi quickly comforted Yang Yiping. The movement in the car was covered by the noise outside the car. Dong Fu had long been immersed in the prosperity of the world and did not know that the woman he admired had an accident.

Deng Yi saw that Yang Yiping did not dare to move, and the blade loosened a little. "Don't worry, I mean no harm to the girl, but I'm going to take you to meet someone."

"You lied to me?" Chu Ruoxi's voice was cold and she couldn't hide her regret. "How could I believe you?"

Deng Yi continued to smile: "The girl was wrong. I didn't lie to you. Everything was just your own thoughts. I didn't promise you anything. Also, you let Dong Fu come in and tie up this stupid boy.

"No, he's just a scapegoat. You let him go." She looked at Yang Yiping and blinked, hoping that he could understand the current situation and find an opportunity to save herself. "Moreover, even if you don't kill him, the people in the palace can't tolerate his existence."

Of course, the last sentence was deliberately said to Yang Yiping. Without a sense of crisis, he would not know how to protect himself.
