After running wildly until midnight, Murong Yu and Murong Ci decided to rest on the spot.
Surrounded by wilderness, there is no village in front of you, no shop behind, the night is like ink, and the howling of night wolves from the distant mountain peaks is creepy.
No matter how good Shenjun's feet are, he still needs to rest. He let go of the rein, and the steed moved slowly.
"Those people were killed by you, Yuwen Zhantian should not be able to catch up with us."
She guessed in her heart that Yuwen Zhantian was seriously injured, and she was powerless to pursue him personally.
He jumped down and helped her down, "There is no shelter from the wind here, we will leave after a short rest."
It was freezing cold, and they couldn't resist the biting cold wind, so they might as well hurry on their way.
Although a few baked sweet potatoes were cold, they could finally fill their stomachs. They ate the sweet potatoes while paying attention to the movement around them.
"Don't feel bad when it's cold."
Murong Yu chuckled happily, no matter how difficult or desperate the situation was, he had experienced it before, and there was nothing terrible about the current situation. As long as she was by his side, he felt at ease and happy.
Murong Ci smiled and said, "My craftsmanship is not bad."
"Then trouble Your Highness to bake sweet potatoes for me every day for the rest of my life, and I eat roasted sweet potatoes every day."
"If you want to eat, I will bake it for you." She raised her chin provocatively, afraid that he would not eat it.
He suddenly leaned over and took a big bite of her peeled sweet potato, "Well, it's really delicious."
She couldn't laugh or cry, "Why are you eating my food? You are not a three-year-old child anymore."
Murong Yu smiled and said, "Your sweet potato is more fragrant."
She blinked speechlessly, and quickly ate the remaining sweet potatoes. Taking a casual glance, she saw little bits of light moving, like bright stars, and she couldn't help but feel tense.
"Look at that." Murong Ci pointed in the direction, feeling shocked.
"It's night wolves. Night wolves usually appear in packs."
He stood up neatly, and stuffed the remaining sweet potatoes into his mouth, his brows were as cold as stone, filled with an icy murderous aura.
This group of wild wolves approached rapidly, there were about thirty of them, she wondered if they could defeat this group of night wolves with the combined strength of the two of them.
Although night wolves are not like the kung fu masters with ever-changing moves and deep inner strength, they are fierce and cunning, especially night wolves in groups, with very powerful attack power.
"A Ci, let's not separate."
Murong Yu said coldly, she understood what he meant, and stood behind him, as before, back to back, fighting together.
The approaching night wolves spread out spontaneously, trapping them in the middle, quite strategically. Those wolf eyes glowed green, unrestrained and fierce, and one could feel his scalp tingling just by looking at them. Man and wolf face each other silently, and the situation is imminent.
The next moment, a pack of wolves besieged and swooped in ferociously.
Murong Ci concentrated 50% of his inner strength on the soft sword, and swung it fiercely.
Murong Yu swept across with his sword, and the wave of sword energy rushed away like a huge wave, invincible and unstoppable.
This group of night wolves didn't expect their skills to be so powerful, many of them flew upside down, fell upside down, and their internal organs were injured.
The night wolves followed one after another, opening their wolf mouths, revealing their fangs glowing with eerie white light. Once they bit a human limb, they would bite ferociously, sucking human blood recklessly.
This group of night wolves seemed to have not had enough food for several days and nights, their combat power was amazing, Murong Ci lost 50% of his internal strength, and after a cup of tea, he could not resist the siege of the pack of wolves.
Murong Yu knew that she was struggling, so he changed positions with her, and swung his soft sword, majestic and domineering, rushing away like a wave of air.
Another group of night wolves flew flying magnificently. At this point, half of the Yelang fell to the ground, their internal organs were seriously injured, and they gasped for breath.
She tried her best to hold on, but her hands and feet were weak, maybe it was affected by the tenderness and sweetness a few hours ago, and she became more and more unable to resist the attack of the night wolf.
So, he repelled a group of wild wolves and switched positions with her to ensure that she was safe and sound.
It seems that the entire Milky Way is falling down, and it is also like the sky rushing down from the distant sky, the wind is strong, the grass is flying, sand and stones are flying, and catkins are flying all over the city.
Murong Yu's deep eyes turned into a pair of crimson blood eyes, like a heroic killer who has trekked for thousands of years from the ancient world, and is cruel and bloodthirsty.
Murong Ci tried his best to hold on, and the situation became more and more dangerous. If you are injured by wild wolves, the consequences will be unimaginable, because some wolves have chamaejasma, and once a person is infected, it is difficult to cure.
Knowing this, he became more and more anxious and irritable.
If he had no internal injuries, if he hadn't used up some energy before, dealing with these night wolves would be meaningless.
Now, he needs a little time to solve them, but Ah Ci can't wait.
Just when he was about to send her to the tree, there was the sound of galloping horseshoes.
He was even more worried. Could it be that Yuwen Zhantian's men were chasing after him
Murong Ci was also very anxious, "What should I do?"
Murong Yu resolutely said: "I'll cover you and rush out, you get on your horse and leave quickly, don't look back"
"No I can't leave you"
"Listen to me and I'll be fine"
"No," she yelled sonorously, fighting off a wolf.
At this time, the galloping group of people arrived and jumped down in a hurry, followed by the sound of swords being unsheathed one after another, and they stabbed the wolf involuntarily, as ferocious as a beast.
Murong Yu was puzzled, they were not from Yuwen Zhantian
Murong Ci was also puzzled, but the most important thing right now was to kill the night wolf.
There are about thirty of these people, although their martial arts are not perfect, they are more than enough to deal with wild wolves.
After a while, the few wild wolves fled in desperation, fearing the large number of human beings.
"It's too late to save me from a lowly position, so I ask His Royal Highness and the prince to punish him."
They all knelt down and bowed their hands in worship.
She understood that these people were the thirty people Rong Zhan had arranged to protect her secretly. It came just in time.
Murong Yu asked them to stand up, but didn't ask much about their background.
"A Ci, let's continue on our way. If there are farmhouses or small towns ahead, we will stop and rest."
"Also."
She winked at the leader, hoping he would understand.
Yuwen Zhantian's men never came after him, and Murong Yu and Murong Ci entered Dayan Kingdom smoothly.
On the way back to the capital, she took the opportunity to ask the leader, and the leader said that they secretly followed Yu Wang back to the capital of West Qin Kingdom to rescue her, but when they saw Yu Wang's plan, they stayed put and responded secretly.
When Yuwen Zhantian chased them and had a big fight, they were going to make a move, but seeing Yu Wang took her away, they didn't make a move.
Because their horses were not as powerful as the steeds, they caught up with the night wolves when they attacked.
She didn't punish them, and it was a good thing that they could protect themselves.
It's been a pretty smooth journey. When they were still a hundred miles away from the imperial capital, they encountered a messenger who was galloping towards them, sent by Ghost Shadow.
"The four great families really have changed." Murong Ci was shocked and anxious, "What did the four great families do?"
"The little one doesn't know very well, the little one only knows that a few days ago, Master Guiying learned that Prime Minister Gong, Taiwei Yang, Duke Qing and Duke Rong had met in secret, and they seemed to be plotting something." The messenger reported back.
"Father, how are you?" she asked anxiously.
"Your Majesty, everything is fine, I haven't heard what happened in the palace." He replied.
"Can the four great families enter the palace together to meet His Majesty?" Murong Yu's brows were filled with a cold and hostile look.
"The four great families have entered the palace several times and asked to meet His Majesty, but they were all stopped by the commander of the imperial guards in the palace."
"Go back to Beijing quickly to find out the news. If there is something important, report it quickly."
"yes"
The messenger immediately got on his horse and galloped away.
Murong Ci said worriedly: "The Four Great Aristocratic Families must know that you are not in the Yuwang Mansion, so they are ready to move."
Murong Yu narrowed his black eyes tightly, gathering a ruthless murderous aura, "The paper will not be able to contain the fire in the end, they dare to do outrageous things, I will definitely punish their nine clans"
She was in a state of shock, he was doing it for her, for Dayan's sake.
How would he treat himself if he had done something outrageous
However, she quickly got rid of this idea, and now, she is willing to trust him, put her own family and life, the life of her father, and entrust Dayan's country and society to him, and give it a go , A big gamble, it is not in vain for her to fall in love with him and get to know him.
"A Ci, I won't let your father have anything to do, and I won't let Dayan have anything to do." Murong Yu stared at her with deep eyes, "Do you believe me?"
"En." Murong Ci nodded emphatically.
"Let's return to Beijing quickly"
He carried her on the horseback, and then galloped away.
After more than an hour, the imperial capital.
The messenger waited anxiously two miles outside the city gate, and finally saw the king return.
He flew to report: "My lord, something is wrong."
"Say" Murong Yu had already expected that the situation was not optimistic, and his expression was cold.
"The little one contacted the person sent by Guiying, and the person said that today, Prime Minister Gong, Yang Taiwei, Qing Guogong and Rong Guogong marched into the palace to meet His Majesty. The power of regent, the prince is not allowed to participate in politics anymore. Lord Guiying has cooperated with Commander Meng of the Imperial Guard to take control of the palace, but the four lords including Gong Cheng and others have bought the Deputy Governor of the Capital Defense Sima, and Deputy Governor Ma led half of the capital defense department to control it Qing Yuan Palace, confront the imperial guards in the palace." The reporter said.
Murong Ci's heart was agitated like a huge wave, the four aristocratic families probably would not do anything to his father, they just forced his father to take back Murong Yu's power of regent. So, is this a great opportunity to cut Murong Yu's power as regency
Isn't this what she dreams of
Murong Yu said: "Ah Ci, we will enter the city secretly."
"What are your plans?" she asked calmly.
"I have my own way to rescue Your Majesty, don't worry." He patted her little hand, his eyes gleaming coldly.
They disguised themselves before entering the city, and went straight to the palace.
As expected, martial law has been imposed inside and outside the palace, no one can walk around at will, let alone enter and leave at will.
Murong Ci hesitated whether to take him into the East Palace through the secret passage, "Aren't the soldiers in your palace all elite? Why don't you lead them into the palace?"
"We don't need the elite of my palace to deal with those old men."
He sneered arrogantly.
