C320 The Appearance of an Enemy
The dark night was really a good time to do things without the heat at noon, and every gust of wind was cool, but it gave goose bumps.
Of course, this was only Yuan Zhen's idea. After being sick for so long, it was normal for his body to be weak.
Miao Yingyu and Yuan Zhen declined Xiuxiu's good intentions and did not bring along the guards of Faang mansion, because even they did not know where they were going. They might not be able to see the sun of the second day.
They were blind and Miao Yingyu could not find the person who planted the Gu in them.
"Since we cannot find it, why..." Yuan Zhen gasped for breath. His face had lost weight.
Miao Yingyu was not any better than him. She just held on and the two of them were on the empty street.
"Don't talk." Miao Yingyu rolled her eyes at him. "If we can't find him again, we won't be far from death."
"But we don't have any clues." Yuan Zhen said, but his footsteps became faster.
"Didn't you come to find me? " Miao Yingyu was a little angry and stopped. She looked at Yuan Zhen with a stiff expression.
Yuan Zhen shrank his neck. He was afraid that Miao Yingyu would get angry and did not dare to speak.
He walked around aimlessly in the Imperial Capital. When they arrived at a restaurant, the two of them felt hungry and walked straight in.
When the dishes were served and they were enjoying their meal, Miao Yingyu suddenly threw her chopsticks into a bowl of soup dishes. The soup splashed onto Yuan Zhen's face, who was eating quietly.
"What are you doing? " Yuan Zhen bit on the leaf and looked up at Miao Yingyu. He was angry but did not dare to say anything.
"Look outside!" Miao Yingyu stared straight at him.
At the entrance of the restaurant, a man dressed in black and wearing a bamboo hat, dragging something that looked like a sack, slowly walked past.
At this moment, there were no customers in the restaurant, only them facing the entrance.
The sound of dragging was also covered by the noise of the customers.
"Let's go." Miao Yingyu got up and grabbed Yuan Zhen's shirt by the collar.
Yuan Zhen tilted his body and dropped his chopsticks. They were stuck in the gap between the wooden blocks on the floor. He bit the food in his mouth and his cheeks puffed up.
"Hey, the customer hasn't paid me yet!" The waiter reacted and the two of them had already left the room. He hurriedly chased after them.
However, they could no longer see the two of them. The waiter put his hands on his waist and was a little annoyed. Now the shopkeeper was going to deduct his salary again.
"I'll pay for them."
Just as he was angry, he heard a clear voice above his head.
The waiter raised his head. The person who spoke had a peach blossom face, red lips, white teeth, and a pair of beautiful almond-shaped eyes that made people feel like they were immortals.
Beside him were a few guards. The leader looked at the waiter with dissatisfaction. He was handsome, but slightly above average.
"Don't want it?" Mu Ruqing asked again. Only then did the waiter react. He hurriedly took it and bowed. "Okay. Thank you, Miss. It's just that this is too much."
When he looked up, Mu Ruqing had already left. Changxu looked at him with a dark face. "You can keep it for yourself."
After saying that, he left. He stretched out his hand and followed seven or eight people. Just by feeling their aura, the waiter felt frightened and just nodded to say thank you.
Mu Ruqing walked in front domineeringly. Changxu followed closely behind. The hidden guards behind did not dare to relax at all.
"Princess, you really shouldn't have come. Just leave it to me." Changxu had been nagging ever since he knew Mu Ruqing was coming.
"I don't trust them." Mu Ruqing only said a simple sentence.
A secret sentry came and informed Mu Ruqing of the direction Miao Yingyu and Yuan Zhen were heading in.
Mu Ruqing did not think too much and just as she was about to use Qing Gong legs to gather strength, her hand was grabbed by someone.
With a slight anger, she turned her head and Mu Ruqing's words had yet to come out of her mouth. She saw Yu Longchen's frosty face. "Don't you know you're pregnant? And you're still doing this? This is also my child. Have you asked for my opinion?! Hmm? "
"You..." Mu Ruqing was stunned for a long time." Why are you here? "
"I'm afraid you will hurt my child." Yu Longchen still had a cold expression. He put his bracelet on Mu Ruqing's waist. Hmm, it became thicker.
When Mu Ruqing regained her senses again, the two of them had already jumped onto the top of the wall.
"Where did they go?" Yu Longchen gave Changxu a cold look. These days, Changxu was very naughty. He even dared to hide things from him.
"Over there." Changxu automatically ignored Yu Longchen's threatening gaze and had an evil smile on his face. His Royal Highness finally became a little more normal.
"Let's go!" Yu Longchen gave the order, and the dark guards' blood boiled. It was their honor to fight side by side with Yu Longchen.
Just now, they only had the thought of protecting Mu Ruqing, but now it changed. With Yu Longchen, they were all full of fighting spirit.
Miao Yingyu and Yuan Zhen did not know that there were so many people behind them.
When they came out of the restaurant, they followed that strange person from afar.
He walked very slowly. He was dressed in black and blended into the night sky. If he had not dragged something and made the sound of rubbing against the ground, the two of them would really have lost him.
"What do you think he dragged?" Yuan Zhen stood in the alley and looked at the strange person in front of him with his head exposed.
Miao Yingyu did not answer him. She should say that she was too lazy to talk to him. She only came out of the alley when she could not hear him and could not see the blurry figure of the strange man.
"Wait... Wait for me." Yuan Zhen was lost in thought. Before he could think, Miao Yingyu went out.
That person's actions were still the same. He did not move too fast. They were all slow, as if they were afraid that the night was not good. The person behind him had been lost, and he was wearing a bamboo hat. From time to time, he would move, and that was because he had turned his head to listen to what was happening behind him.
Even if he couldn't see anyone, he knew that there was someone following behind him.
Just like that, he followed for an hour.
Until there were no buildings around, no candle lights.
Only then did the monster stop at the edge of the forest.
Miao Yingyu and Yuan Zhen also became bold and walked out directly. They were only two feet away from that person.
The strange man slowly turned around and looked at the two of them. He did not move. Only the wind blew the black veil on his bamboo hat and stuck it to his face, reflecting his outline.
"You finally came out!" Every word that Miao Yingyu said was filled with hatred. She clenched her fists tightly.
Yuan Zhen saw Miao Yingyu's expression and felt his heart ache. He reached out and held her hand.
Miao Yingyu tilted her head and looked at Yuan Zhen. Only then did she feel a bit of warmth on her body.
"I am waiting for you. You hid well enough. I almost couldn't find you and let you reunite with your family." Every pause in the voice was accompanied by cracking sounds.
"You!" Miao Yingyu heard his words and could not bear it any longer. She rushed to the feast.
Yuan Zhen pulled her back and squeezed his eyes. "Don't you think there is a problem with him?"
"His only problem now is that when I tear him into pieces, his corpse should be there!" Miao Yingyu's face was red and the veins on her neck were protruding.
"Ridiculous." That person looked up and slightly opened his hands.
"When you lie at my feet and beg for mercy, you will know that you cannot laugh." Miao Yingyu immediately shook Yuan Zhen off. Her family had been destroyed. At this moment, her mind had been overwhelmed by hatred.
Yuan Zhen could not hold her back, so he could only go up to protect her.
Miao Yingyu leaned forward and her footsteps were like the wind. In the blink of an eye, she arrived in front of that person.
She held the crescent dagger in her hand tightly and quickly crossed it, heading towards the man's face.
The man leaned back. The veil was still half off and his neck was exposed in the air.
His skin was a little green, and there were 'blood vessels' of varying thickness crawling on his neck. Of course, they couldn't see clearly. )
The man quickly retreated and touched the shallow wound on his neck. Black blood flowed out and he looked at Miao Yingyu. "I have made some progress."
