C68

Zhong Fu suddenly recalled Zhao Jing's question. The boat was already far away from the shore, so the autumn water felt cold …. Clenching his teeth, Zhong Fu jumped into the water and disappeared.

The night was dark, and the surface of the river rippled. Only Gongsun Zhen and the boatman were left on the boat.

The boatman immediately shouted, "Official ship! It's the official ship! "

"The dog-emperor lied to me! The dog-emperor lied to me! " Gongsun Zhen shouted twice, "Quick! Cut! As long as we reach the other side of the river, the soldiers of the Da Zhou Empire will no longer be able to do anything to me! "

After the river was Ying Prefecture, if the people of Danzhou wanted to handle the case there, they would have to go through the seal of Danzhou Prefecture, and there would have to be a warrant for their arrest! And these soldiers on the official ship did not have any official documents on how to capture Gongsun Zhen!

As the official ship approached, it eventually surrounded the small boat. The soldier at the bow shouted, "Who is it? "How dare you cross the river in the middle of the night!"

Gong Sun mustered up his courage. "Blind your dog eyes! Don't you see who I am!? "I am going to Ying Prefecture to handle matters in the name of Sir Lin. If you dare to interfere in Sir Lin's business, be careful of your lives!"

The leader of the soldiers immediately laughed, ridiculing him, "Who do I think it is? So it was Grand Master! "Apologies!"

Gongsun was truly relieved. Thank goodness! Fortunately!

Before he could even catch his breath, the soldier had already jumped onto his boat with the shackles in his hands, "According to Sir Lin's orders, if you meet Master Gongsun who has escaped in the middle of the night, you must bring him back to the magistrate court to await his orders!"

On the shore, Zhong Fu emerged from the water, gasping for breath. Trembling, he climbed onto the shore. "Bastard Zhao Jing, you dare to scheme against me. I … I'm not done with you!" "Ha Qiu!"

The flames on the surface of the river were not only seen by the official ship.

As a matter of fact, Cobb, Dongfang, and even the people of the Devil's Palace could all see it clearly. Everyone had been staring at the carriage, but now they felt that something was wrong! No one knew what was wrong.

The Great Sage waved his sleeves, signalling for his subordinates to stay put.

"Protector, why would the light of the fire spirit appear on the surface of the river?" The audience was puzzled.

Jing Hong frowned, "Before, I had secretly given Young Master a fire spirit powder. This item can only be used by Protectors or Palace Masters, so there are only two answers. Or perhaps Gongsun was too cunning, the person in the carriage wasn't Young Master at all! Or is the Young Master passing on some kind of order? "

The scout quickly returned. "Protector, Gongsun has really been captured by the official ship!"

"Is it because of the Light of the Flame Soul?" Jing Hong hurriedly asked.

The spy nodded, "Yes!"

Hearing that, Jing Rong slowly walked out of the darkness, "Inform them to leave immediately! From today onwards, they were not allowed to appear within the various strongholds of the prefecture city, so when the Wangbei River was unsealed, each of them would think of a way to cross the river and meet up with the Devil Palace branch across the river! Before this, no one is allowed to contact anyone.

"Protector, what's going on?" The audience was puzzled. "Aren't we supposed to save the young master?"

"It's not Gongsun Zhen in the carriage. The appearance of the Flame Spirit Light on the river surface has led to Gongsun Zhen's capture. This means that the Young Master is sending a message to us through Gongsun Zhen!" Young Master is unharmed, there's another plan! " Jing Hong turned, and ordered coldly, "Retreat!"

The group of people quickly disappeared into the darkness and did not dare to continue following the carriage.

The news of Gongsun Zhen's arrival startled Ke Bo Hui. "What did you say?" Gongsun really caught him?! What about the emperor? "

The scout shook his head. "His Majesty is not on the ship. In addition …" "There is no trace of the crown prince on the ship either."

Fuzi was puzzled. "Master, what do you think Gongsun is really up to?" He kidnapped the emperor and then left the emperor to run away by himself. While he was in the middle of doing so, he brought out another piece of fire to expose his whereabouts. This … It seems to be a little stupid! "

"Where is he?" Cobb asked.

The scout quickly replied, "Reporting to the Prime Minister, Gongsun is being escorted back to the prefectural yamen. He has already ordered people to keep an eye on him so that Sir Lin's side will not act rashly in private!"

Fuzi asked, "Master, Gongsun is really not on the carriage, and the carriage is still madly running. Is there some trick involved?"

He crossed his arms and crossed his arms. With a smile that was not a smile, he said, "This lowly one has accidentally lost his duty. I am truly guilty of a thousand deaths!"

When his voice fell, he turned around, shaking his head in annoyance as he walked. "Continue to look for the Emperor's whereabouts. If there's any news, immediately report it." I'll return to the government office and interrogate Gongsun Zhen! There might be other clues! "

He was slightly worried, and quickly followed, "Sir, is this a success?"

If Gongsun is not in the carriage, why hasn't Dongfang made a move?" Under such a situation where all the dragons are headless, the horse carriage can still move forward in such an orderly manner. If there's nothing wrong with the carriage, I will remove my head from the carriage! "" Cobb flicked his sleeves and left, "Back to the yamen!

"Yes sir!" Fuzi nodded.

In the distance, a black shadow flashed by.

When he reached Dongfang Wenming, the black shadow hurried to say, "Master, Prime Minister is going to lead the troops back to the city!"

"It's probably because Gongsun really was caught, so …" Zhou Zhizhi hesitated, "Master, should we go back?" "Since Gongsun isn't on the carriage, these people who have no leader cannot afford to cause a ruckus. Nothing will happen to the Emperor!"

Dongfang Wenming was dressed in a profound robe, which covered his body tightly. His eyes were as cold as a blade. "Willful!"

As his voice faded, he suddenly mounted the horse and galloped after the carriage! This girl wanted to cause trouble!

"Master?" Zhou Zhizhi was startled. What happened to his master?

The carriage was headed towards Dawn Peak, which was easy to defend but hard to attack. It was easy to get on but not easy to get off. Even if they went up, the narrow road prevented a large number of people from entering, so … Dawn Peak had become a place where only one person could travel on their own!

The night was dark, and the first rays of dawn had yet to arrive.

It was dark at this hour!

At this moment, the horse carriage was parked at the edge of the cliff. The horse was shaking its mane and its mouth made hissing sounds. The piles of rocks outside the jungle were barren, and the plants were not long. It was clear as day!

The wind whistled through the curtains of the window, and there was no one outside the carriage.

The ropes hung high down, covering the cliffs that were filled with short, loose branches! Although very few people had walked past this place, it was also because the herb gatherers rarely went near the cliff. Occasionally, they would walk past it, and there were also traces of it.

The sound of hooves gradually approaching came from the darkness, and then someone jumped off the horse.

"How long do you want this to last?" Dongfang Wenming had just finished speaking when the carriage suddenly went out of control and fell straight down the cliff.

The sharp sound of the horses' roars resounded throughout the world. Dongfang Wenming didn't even have time to think before he flew towards the carriage. The speed of the falling carriage was very fast. Dongfang Cunming kicked away the small pine tree on the cliff and used the momentum to finally jump into the carriage.

Inside the carriage, Zhao Jing smiled at him. "Father Zhong still can't bear to part with me!"

Dongfang Wenming reached out a hand to grab her. He wanted to go up first, otherwise, no matter how high his martial arts were, he would fall down the cliff together with the carriage, turning into a pile of mud! But before he could grab her, she darted out of the window.

"Zhao Jing!" Dongfang did not say anything.

In the darkness, he had never noticed that she had already loosened her grip. Thick strips of cloth were wrapped around her palm, and she was holding onto a rope. She jumped out of the carriage and sped up the falling speed of the carriage. Her body floated out of the window like a feather.

The heart beats twelve times, with a hole for a nap.

There was a path within the cave, leading to the valley. It could be left behind!

Gongsun Zhen had told her earlier, so she had planned everything out.

He was thrown into the cave by the pulling force of the rope. He was not a bit off. However, this strength was still too much for her. When Zhao Jing was thrown into the cave, he didn't move for a long time. He just lay there stiffly. He lost consciousness for a moment and his mind went blank for a moment.

Finally, Zhao Jing let out a snort. He let out a pained moan.

Even though he had made all the preparations, he was still made from flesh and blood! Thin body! With great effort, Zhao Jing turned over and lay down on his back. He raised his head to look at the pitch-black cave, and then he took a few deep breaths.

She could clearly hear the sounds coming from the bottom of the valley. Dongfang Wenming's kung fu was so high, but he was actually tricked? That man was bone-chilling cold, and his mind was so heavy that it would make one's hair stand on end. How could he just die like that?

She didn't believe it. Even if she was beaten to death, she wouldn't believe it!

After a long while, she supported herself from the pain and slowly got up. She staggered to the mouth of the cave and held onto the stone wall to look down.

The night was too dark and it was too dark for the naked eye to see clearly.

Zhao Jing slid to the ground in pain. He rubbed his right shoulder for a long time, but couldn't get up. He let out a weak moan as he crawled out of exhaustion. The pain could numb his limbs, but it made his brain even clearer. He could clearly remember the taste of this pain.

After a long time, Zhao Jing crawled back up again. He took out a fire piston from his bosom and staggered toward the cave.

Within the cave, there really was a path. It was unknown whether it was man-made or a work of nature. The mountain path was very narrow, as if only one person could pass through.

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Jing returned to the cave. He looked around and found a few thick and broken logs of wood that must have been left behind by the herb pickers. He tore off a strip of cloth and tied it to one end of the broken tree. He lit it with a fire piston and used it as a torch!

Although Gongsun Zhen's words were mostly true, it was not guaranteed that the old boy wouldn't leave any trump cards in his hands. Therefore, Zhao Jing had brought a torch with him, partly to light the torches, and partly to avoid accidentally entering a place without air. If the torches were extinguished, she would immediately return to the cave.

Zhao Jing held a torch in his left hand and walked with extreme caution. As he walked, he left behind some marks on the stone wall, especially where they forked!

Don't underestimate this dark mountain path. It was originally extremely narrow, but now it could accommodate several people. There was a thick layer of moss growing in the mountain path, and a thin stream of water was flowing down through the cracks in the stone. Therefore, there was often a puddle of water at the bottom of one's feet.

Even if Zhao Jing was any more careful, he would still step on empty air until his feet became muddy and his pants became wet!

"You can't live with your own sins!" Looking at the crossroads in front of him, Zhao Jing helplessly shook his head. "Zhao Jing, oh Zhao Jing. If he really dies, then your path to survival will be over!" Why do you say that? "I thought that scoundrel would be able to escape unscathed and was quite an impressive person. Even if he was a schemer, he would still go all out when his life came to an end."

Zhao Jing pursed his lips to the side and looked at the two intersection in front of him. One of them had less water and the other was wet.

There were few traces of water, but the moss on the wet stone wall was clearly surprised. The moss above the waist is relatively short, contrasting sharply with the luxuriant growth above and below. Clearly, this was caused by someone holding onto the wall and passing through the water.

Although the moss was long, it was still old moss. Once destroyed, it was impossible for it to grow back to its original appearance. In comparison, there was a difference!

Zhao Jing stood up and looked at his boots helplessly. "I'm just joking with you because I don't know how many people in the East I can see!" Who knows … Yet you died so earnestly! "

"This is the most heartless confession I've ever heard!" A cold voice came from behind him.
