He walked in front, staring at the dark forest ahead, feeling countless pairs of red or green eyes staring at him in the darkness. Finally, he swallowed, and could not help but feel fear that was almost drowning him out of his heart. He angrily said to Lu Xun who was following him: "Lu Chengzhong! You actually asked me to find a way forward! Are you looking for death?"

The roar suddenly shocked Lu Xun, who was following behind from afar, rushed forward and said, "Damn it... I'll come now."

When Ning Nanyou saw Lu Xun running towards him, he immediately covered up the fear that could not help but show his face.

He coughed a little embarrassedly, pulled Lu Xun over and let him stand in front of him. Then he said righteously: "I am a lord at least... You must be more conscious of exploring the way."

He wanted to cover up his panic and fear in this way.

But Lu Xun had known why he was like this for a long time, and his brain asked with a smile without reaction: "Isn't the lord afraid of the beasts that will come out of the forest at any time?"

Ning Nanyou looked at him with his eyes, and said fiercely: "Did I not scold you tonight? Are you itchy?"

The black eyes of the cold knife flew into Lu Xun. He hurriedly changed his words: "Of course it's not... lord... my subordinate knows his mistake, so I'll explore the way for my subordinates."

Lu Xun walked in front and looked towards the forest of Hei Tian Mo Di. Although Ning Nanyou was numb from the countless strange sounds in the forest, he still walked in with his teeth. From time to time, he paid attention to the movement of Jiang Chengjia on his back. Seeing her lying motionless, he held his waist tightly with his bare hands, which was extremely quiet, so he couldn't help but turn his head and whisper in her ear, "Jiang Mengluo... wake up, don't sleep."

Jiang Chengjia felt so painful that she felt uncomfortable. Her face was pressed against his warm back and her forehead was covered with cold sweat.

She said "um" softly, and was so angry that she could no longer speak.

Ning Nanyou listened, frowned tightly, feeling very uneasy and fearful. He couldn't help but urge Lu Xun, who was exploring the way, and said, "Lu Xun, hurry up..."

Lu Xun was urged to hear his lord's anxiety, thinking it was for the Jiang girl. He just followed behind and saw the woman's back was red, her silver robe was stained with blood, and she was seriously injured. It seemed to be because of being blocked by the lord. Thinking of this, Lu Xun was still a little pity. Since she saved the lord, he naturally could not repay his grudges.

So after returning to Ning Nanyou's words, he walked faster and walked towards the forest.

But this forest was like being covered by mob and fog at the same time, surrounding the 20 people in the Jingshu Guards, and no matter what, they could not find a way out.

They were looking for the exit of the forest over and over again. I don’t know how long it took, but there was still a dark shadow in front of them, which made them unable to see hope.

Jiang Chengjia lay weakly on Ning Nanyou, feeling that the clothes behind him were wet and very uncomfortable.

She closed her eyes and gradually felt her consciousness floating. During this long and silent walking, she was surrounded by tiredness and could not hold on and fell asleep.

Ning Nanyou was carrying her on her back, and she was sweating profusely at this moment.

Now this season is the dullest time in summer. Coupled with the humid and stuffy climate of Cangwu County, his physique that does not like to sweat is also sweating profusely.

Lu Xun turned his head from time to time, holding up the fire smudge in his hand. With some light, he could always see the sweat beads on Ning Nanyou's face and his lips turned white. He endured it all the way and finally said, "Lord, do you want to have some rest, or come down to carry the wife?"

Ning Nanyou looked up at him and said coldly: "Why, do you think I have no strength? Do you need you to come?"

Lu Xun was a little helpless. He knew that Ning Nanyou had actually suffered some injuries on his arm and could not bear the burden like this at all, but he still endured it in order not to let them worry about their subordinates. He was always holding on. He was always such a person who was unwilling to bother others.

Lu Xun sighed, turned around and continued to find a way out, and couldn't help feeling sorry for his lord, and his heroic face also showed unusual touch.

However, although he thought so, it was not the case.

Ning Nanyou was not unwilling to bother others. He just thought of other men in contact with Jiang Chengjia, and felt a feeling of being stuffy and panting in his chest. This subtle and strange feeling made him very uncomfortable.

He felt that his whole body was twisted, so he would never let Lu Xun turn against the Jiang girl.

"The people in Zhou Yuanmo... haven't they reached the barren mountain? Why are there no movement until now?"

He was exhausted by wandering around this forest for a long time. Ning Nanyou wiped the sweat beads from his forehead and asked irritably.

Lu Xun pulled away the weeds in front of him and replied, "Maybe he has faced the Wuhu soldiers head-on... But they may not know... lord, you will actually take us to such a dense forest... You have always been afraid of such a dense forest. They were afraid that they did not expect to search here."

He said this without thinking, and immediately realized that his words were inappropriate, and hurriedly changed his words: "What I mean is... lord, your decision is not something that ordinary people can guess..."

Ning Nanyou's face turned black at a speed visible to the naked eye. After a while, he was angrily laughed by Lu Xun and said, "Lu Chengzhong, you are not easy to get involved in the officialdom... If you go on the official career, you will be afraid that you will offend the entire court in just a few words."

Lu Xun scratched his head and laughed twice, then quickly closed his mouth and stopped talking.

They didn't know how long they had left, but when everyone was exhausted, Lu Xun saw a flash of fire coming from ahead.

He immediately alertly put out the fire in his hand and squatted down in the forest.

Seeing this, Ning Nanyou immediately reached out to the elite guards behind him and signaled them to stop.

"Lord... it seems that the exit of this forest is in front of me. But... there seems to be a fire there. I don't know if it's our people or the Wuhu soldiers who came up."

Lu Xun reported truthfully.

Because the sky was too dark, their view in the weeds where they were hiding was extremely bad. Looking at the forest entrance from here, they could only hear the sound of footsteps and the light of the torch, but they could not see the sound of these footsteps and the figure of the owner holding the torch.

Ning Nanyou was carefully hiding in the dense and tall weeds with Jiang Chengjia on his back, staring at the firelight in the distance, and listening silently for a while.

Not long after, he spoke with a chill: "It seems that it is the Wuhu soldiers. Meng Huai sent all the eight thousand troops he brought him up the mountain to find us. I guess the situation there was not good at Zhou Yuanmo..."

Lu Xun said a little surprised: "Where does the lord tell that there are Wuhu soldiers in Linkou?"

Ning Nanyou glanced at him and replied, "You listen to the sound of their pace during patrol. This is not the sound of the cloth shoes worn by my supervisor's feet rubbing. You have been fighting with them for so long just now, but haven't you heard that their foot tracks have iron bars? When you pace, the friction sound is heavier."

Lu Xun did not notice such details at all. He listened carefully, as if Ning Nanyou said. So he said worriedly: "What should we do? We will be discovered after we leave the forest...?"

Ning Nanyou looked back at Jiang Chengjia, who had already fallen into a coma, and gritted his teeth and said, "I asked a few brothers with good skills to go and dig the tiger away from the mountain first... When the Wuhu soldiers left, we immediately went down the mountain. The road that left the forest was clear that it was leading to the slope, and we walked from there."

Lu Xun nodded, obeyed his instructions, and was about to get up and go to find someone behind, but Ning Nanyou grabbed him.

He turned his head and asked, "The lord has any instructions?"

Ning Nanyou sighed: "It is important to let the brothers who are going to save their lives... Don't lose your life just to cover us."

There was a little more worry in his dark eyes.

Lu Xun stared at him and said for a moment: "Don't worry, lord, brothers are all skilled. Nothing will happen."

Ning Nanyou whispered, and continued to hide in the weeds to observe the movements of the Wuhu soldiers in Linkou.

He waited quietly for a while, and then saw Lu Xun rushing back from behind. Seeing Lu Xun nodding at him, he quietly stood up, firmly held Jiang Chengjia, bent his lunge, and prepared to rush out.

I saw several agile guards stumble towards Linkou, stepped out of the forest, and rushed towards the other side of the path. The leader of the Wuhu soldiers guarding Linkou immediately noticed the movement in Linkou. When he turned around, he saw the third and fourth regiments of black shadows quickly escape from their base.

The leading army immediately said to the soldiers resting by the fire and the soldiers patrolling and guarding everywhere: "Someone! It seems that the elite guards are fleeing, a team of ten people come with me! The rest are still there!"

"Here!"

Ten Wuhu soldiers followed the army leader to chase after the four Jingshu guards. There were more than ten people left to guard the Linkou station.

At this time, Lu Xun called four or five more elite guards to sneak over and quickly slipped into their base. When some soldiers who were facing their backs were not paying attention, they quickly twisted their necks.

When the other few Wuhu soldiers came to react, the Qinglong sword with a green light shining on their necks was already put on their necks. With a sudden smear, blood spurted out a bright flower in the air, floating and falling.

More than ten Wuhu soldiers died almost at the same time.

Seeing this, Lu Xun waved to the other elite guards behind him and ran towards Linkou with Ning Nanyou.

Unexpectedly, the group had just left Linkou and was about to go down the slope when a team of Wuhu soldiers came towards him.
