Before he finished speaking, the night wind rushed over. He held a torch and walked among the corpses, checking them one by one.

In the dim firelight, Ye Feng's face was gloomy and he exuded a murderous aura, which made everyone around him silent.

Zuo Yi followed him and checked around, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

All the dead were men, most of them killed in one blow, all by hidden weapons. One of them died in a very tragic way, with all his limbs broken before he died.

Zuo Yi turned the man's body over so that his face was facing upwards.

"Jia Wangcai?" Ye Feng and Zuo Yi both recognized this man.

"Your Highness, it seems that Miss Lu has been rescued." Zuo Yi felt relieved.

Ye Feng's expression remained stern: "Not necessarily."

"Your Highness..."

Ye Feng asked him back: "Don't you think this man's method of killing is very familiar?"

After he reminded him, Zuo Yi suddenly thought of someone: "Your Highness, are you talking about Chi Li, the number one assassin in Soul Suo Lou? That's right. Chi Li is a master of hidden weapon skills, and there are few rivals in the martial arts world. He often kills with one strike, and he likes to shoot people between the eyebrows the most. If it was Chi Li who saved Miss Lu, what was his purpose?"

Ye Feng smiled coldly: "His target is naturally me."

No wonder he made such a guess.

Over the years, Soul-Seizing Tower has sent several assassins to assassinate him, but all have failed. As the number one assassin in Soul-Seizing Tower, how could Chi Li miss the opportunity to assassinate him?

However, he did not expect that Chi Li would attack Ke'er.

"Your Highness, what should we do now?" Zuo Yi asked.

"Has the exact location of the Soul-Seeking Tower not been found out yet?" Ye Feng asked.

"Your Highness, there has been some progress. We now know that the Soul-Seizing Tower is at the border of Leizhou and Lingguo. But the exact location still needs to be investigated."

"Let Chu Ying and Chu Xiong find out as soon as possible."

"Yes. Your Highness, the clues are gone for now. It will be futile for us to continue chasing. Why don't we go back to the village first and wait for Chi Li's next move." Zuo Yi advised.

Fear, anxiety, worry and other emotions rolled in Ye Feng's heart. For the first time, he found that he also had times of regret, annoyance and powerlessness.

………………

Lu family.

Lu Tianning and Ji were so anxious. It was already midnight, and Lu Ke'er and Qiu Yu had not returned yet. Not only did they not return, but Ye Feng and Zuo Yi had not returned either.

People were sent to the town and the county to look for them, but after a long search, they only got one piece of news: an abandoned carriage was seen on the road, but the people and horses were gone.

When the Lu couple found out, they were so worried that they couldn't sleep.

So when Lu Ke'er and Qiu Yu brought Chi Li back to the Lu family, everyone in the Lu family came out to greet them.

Even Lu Tianning came into the yard pushing his wheelchair.

"Sister, why did you come back just now? We were all scared. Woo woo..." Lu Mingxi hugged Lu Ke'er and cried loudly.

Looking at the worried faces of her family members, Lu Keer felt warm in her heart.

"Dad, Mom, you haven't slept yet? I made you worried. Something happened on the way, so I came back late. Don't worry about us, go to bed early." Lu Ke'er didn't want to worry her family, so she didn't tell them that she was kidnapped.

Qiuyu opened her mouth, but when she saw Lu Keer shaking her head slightly at her, she had to keep silent.

Ji turned his gaze to the young man on horseback and was surprised: "Ke'er, this is..."

"Mom, this is a person we accidentally saved on the road. Because of him, we are returning home so late."

"So it was to save someone." Ji was a kind-hearted woman. She did not think much about it and immediately called Qiu Shui and Qiu Ye, asking them to clean up an empty room first and carry the person in.

"Xiao Xiao is not with you?" Ji asked again.

Lu Ke'er was stunned: "They haven't come back yet?"

"No." Ji sighed, "Neither he nor Zuo Yi came back. I don't know what happened."

Lu Ke'er was silent for a while, thinking of the fact that Ye Feng had also come home late before, so she comforted Ji and said, "Mom, don't worry, I think they have something to deal with."

"That's right. I don't know what they've been busy with during this period. They go out early and come back late every day. But fortunately, they are all men, not as worrying as you."

Ji had a vague idea of ​​Ye Feng's unusual identity, but Lu Tianning repeatedly told her to keep it a secret, so she naturally wouldn't reveal anything to her daughter.

A person like that must have a lot of guards around him. She really had nothing to worry about.

After settling Chi Li, Lu Ke'er asked Qiu Yu to go to bed early. After a simple wash, she also went to bed.

The night was dark, but she couldn't sleep.

When she came to the ancient times and faced a life-and-death crisis for the first time, she realized that her strength was still too weak.

She had always thought that she had medical skills and spiritual energy, and that she could at least have a smooth life in this ancient world, if not a prosperous one. However, she forgot that no matter where she was, the strong would always prey on the weak. If she was not strong enough, she would be bullied.

She remembered the technique of using spiritual energy to attack and defend that the old man taught her in her dream two days ago, and decided to practice it immediately.

The old man said that this set of exercises is called "Ten Styles of Spiritual Sea". As the name suggests, there are ten styles in the whole set of kung fu, and each style is very mysterious. Before practicing the styles, you must first practice the Qi. That is, before learning the movements, you must first learn how to circulate the spiritual energy.

Unable to fall asleep, Lu Ke'er jumped up, silently recited the formula of martial arts, and began to practice.

Gradually, she sank into a state of ecstasy.

After practicing for more than half an hour, she gradually felt sleepy, so she lay down on the bed, hugged the quilt and fell into a deep sleep.

She didn't know how long she slept, but suddenly, as if she was conscious, she woke up with a start.

In the hazy moonlight, a tall figure was clearly standing at the head of the bed.

"Who?"

She opened her mouth to shout, but suddenly she heard a deep voice: "It's me."

"Xiao Xiao?" She recognized the voice of the night wind and could not help but get very angry. "What's wrong with you? Why are you running into my room in the middle of the night..."

The sound suddenly stopped.

The young man in front of her suddenly leaned down and hugged her tightly in his arms.

"Thank God, you're back. You're okay, really... so good." The boy's voice trembled, and his warm breath brushed against the back of her neck, making her skin there feel hot.

The boy's embrace was so tight that she could hardly breathe. She could hear the violent heartbeat in his chest, beating like a drum against her eardrums.

He is worried about her.

Lu Ke'er was very sure of this.

However, thinking about what happened today, what Jia Wangcai said, the two days he hadn't returned, and how busy he and Zuo Yi had been recently, she suddenly felt a little wronged, angry, and annoyed.

She pushed him away.

"Who are you anyway?" she asked.
