"Since you know that you will be bringing her along, why don't you just return to the capital? First, we'll go to An Zhou. " Qi Jingluo asked again.

"It was Imperial Father's request. He said that he wanted to know if she was capable or not."

"Can't we go back to the palace and probe? It would be dangerous for her. " Qi Jingluo sounded a little worried.

"I cannot disobey royal father's orders, moreover, I will use my life to protect her." His voice was filled with unquestionable resolve.

I will use my life to protect her. These words were like a wooden gavel striking Su Ruo's chest. Her heart was beating rapidly, and her deep voice echoed in her ears. She placed a hand on her heart. It seemed that her emotions were fluctuating?

More than three hundred years ago, someone had told her this, and he had died in front of her.

Qi Jingluo was surprised. "Are you serious, Brother Seven?"

"What do you think?"

Su Ruo controlled the churning emotions in her heart and told herself to be calm and indifferent.

She turned around to find a place to talk to him. She didn't want to listen to him any longer. She didn't like Qimu Qing. She didn't like people who couldn't see through her. She didn't like people who could arouse her emotions.

It was like wanting to be a smooth sailing ship with a strong wind and waves coming at her. She hated the fluctuations of the ship and hated the feeling of the ship swaying.

Of the three people in her life who could affect her feelings, two of them were already dead, and only Xue Niang was left. Although Su Xiao Qi had followed her for ten years, there would come a day when he would leave her.

Su Ruo's figure gradually disappeared into the forest. Behind a large, lush tree, her black eyes stared at her disappearing figure. There was no emotion in her cold eyes. It was as if she was completely lifeless and lifeless like an icehouse in December.

After she recovered, Su Ruo's heart regained her calm. She knew that she had always been like this, always being able to quickly recover her calm.

Qi Jingluo and Qi Muqing also came out of the forest. Qi Jingluo walked towards Su Ruo, and was about to tell her that he was going back to the Lan Tomb first.

At this moment, a cold light flashed, and an arrow flew towards Qi Jingluo.

"Killers." Little Hai screamed.

Qi Jingluo waved his fan to block the arrow, and the Steel Cavalry immediately protected Qi Jingluo and Su Ruo.

Su Ruo was very calm. She looked at the direction where the arrow came from. It was a very hidden forest. To be able to choose such a location, it must have been a good ambush.

But why did he only attack now? Wasn't it better when Qi Jingluo and Qi Muqing were talking in the woods?

When she heard the rustling sounds of the surrounding leaves, Su Ruo finally understood why they did not attack just now. It was because the other party was waiting for them to come and provide support.

She pointed at the hidden jungle, "The archer is there, there's only one person."

Qi Muqing looked at Su Ruo's calm expression, and a strange light flashed in her eyes. Normally, when a girl encountered this kind of situation, they would either tremble in fear or hide behind others, waiting to be protected.

He retracted his gaze and took the bow from the hands of the Steel Cavalry. Then, he quickly pulled the bow towards the hidden jungle. With a flash of silver light, a blood-curdling screech could be heard as the jungle collapsed to the ground.

Fast, ruthless, and accurate. Su Ruo glanced at Qi Muqing. This man could always be difficult for her to see through, but she was surprised at the same time.

Following that, the sounds of dozens of well-dressed burly men holding curved blades could be heard as they surrounded Su Ruo and the others.

Su Ruo looked at the big man's clothes, the embroidered cloth was embroidered with birds and beasts, a small hat on his head, a red feather on top of the hat, and two big silver rings in his ears. Well, she frowned, this is from the Fatherless Land.

Thinking back on their journey, they seemed to have reached the border between the Great Jin Nation and Wu Sha Nation. The Great Jin Nation and the Wu Sha Nation were separated by a mountain, and the people from the Wu Sha Nation even purposely flipped over a mountain. Obviously, they came with a goal.

The red-haired man in the lead pointed at Qi Jingluo and said in his harsh Daxing language, "We only want him, you guys go."

Su Ruo laughed lightly. It was in accordance with the style of a fearless nation. Although it was a valiant and good battle, its goal was clear, and it wouldn't harm others.

Qi Jingluo shrugged his shoulders and came at him again. Even the other countries on the other side of the mountain were looking for him. It seemed that quite a number of people wanted what he had on him. But did these people know what they were carrying on their bodies?

"Impossible." Qi Muqing stared coldly at the red-haired man.

The red-haired man and Qi Muqing looked at each other. He was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat; this man's eyes were too terrifying! He was like a demon in hell, deathly still and horrifying. It was as if he could see himself becoming a pile of bones in his eyes.

Only after some time did he regain his composure, but he no longer dared to look at Qi Muqing. "If you won't leave, then don't blame me for being impolite."

Just as he finished speaking, Qi Muqing's sword was at his throat. "You're too long-winded."

Su Ruo had seen countless deaths, countless ways of dying, but never once did she see them so easily.

In just a blink of an eye, Qi Muqing's sword had cut through the red-haired man's throat, causing blood to spurt out. The red-haired man didn't even have time to cry out before his eyes were wide open as he fell to the ground.

The thumping sound of the floor caused Su Ruo's indifferent expression to fluctuate slightly. She looked at Qi Muqing's back. She couldn't see his expression, but he gave her a feeling of ruthlessness.

But thinking about it, if he didn't kill him now, wouldn't he be waiting for death?

Upon seeing that the red-haired burly man had been killed, the people of the Wu Sha Empire around them glared at him angrily, as if they wanted to grind Su Ruo and the others into ashes.

Since Qi Muqing had enraged them, a fierce battle was about to begin.

Su Xiaoyi took out a nine-section whip from his bag and placed Su Ruo behind him, "Young master, Xiaoyi will protect you."

Su Ruo said faintly, "Protect yourself first."

Quickly scanning their surroundings, they knew that the Armoured Cavalry wouldn't be able to fend off these fearless humans, not to mention … She glanced at the rustling leaves in the distance.

At some point, Qi Muqing had arrived in front of Su Ruo. His deep voice rang in her ears, "Don't leave my protection range."

Su Ruo sat on the box and leisurely played with the hair behind her ears, "If you are willing to listen to my advice, then let's split up and run."

"Oh?" Qi Muqing retracted his sword, standing there with his eyebrows raised as he looked at Su Ruo. "Why are you running?"

At this moment, a citizen of Wusha brandished a scimitar and charged towards Qi Muqing. Qi Muqing struck out with a sword in his hand, drawing his sword. He glanced at the corpse on the ground. "You're courting death."

Su Ruo looked at the corpse on the ground. It was a perfect sword technique. She calmly said, "Even if you can fight one against ten, can you fight one against a hundred?"

After hearing what Su Ruo said, Qi Muqing cast her gaze towards the forest in the distance. It was a large group of people heading their way.

He retracted his gaze and asked Su Ruo, "You don't seem to be afraid at all, nor do you feel any nervousness. If an ordinary girl were to meet with such a situation, I'm afraid she would already be frightened. "

Su Ruo coldly looked at the corpses on the ground, "I am a woman who cut up corpses and examined them. Can I be compared to an ordinary girl?"
