Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

Ever since Xiao Zuochen experienced the first wave of killers, he knew there would definitely be a second wave, and at this time they had just passed by Mohuang City.

Mohuang City is the city between Wangyan City and Tai'an City. Tai'an City is the capital, so the whole city is relatively magnificent. Wangyan City is located in the south, so it is warm all year round, and flowers bloom all year round, which makes it more lively. Mohuang City is different from these two cities. It is built in the desert. Tai'an's land area is not very large, and the desert just occupies a quarter of it. If the city is built around the desert, the land for the people to live in will be too small.

The desert is all around Mohuang City, so only a tree called the orange leaf can grow. The trunk of this tree can reach 1.5 meters in diameter. The leaves of the orange leaf tree are broad and fragrant, drought-resistant and flood-resistant, and have a tenacious life. This tree can only be seen in Mohuang City. Perhaps because of the soil, the leaves of the orange leaf tree are all orange, which is also the origin of its name.

Yun Wei was driving in front, and Xiao Zuochen was behind, lifting the curtain to look at the beautiful scenery.

"The blue sky is vast, and the red leaves are melancholy."

Xiao Zuochen said this casually, which made Yun Wei look back curiously.

"Master, is there something on your mind?"

"No, I just thought of this sentence when I saw the scenery."

Xiao Zuochen picked up the hot tea at hand and blew it gently. Yun Wei showed a rare sly smile at this time.

"Master, do you want to..."

"Whoosh-"

A cold arrow shot towards Yun Wei's face. Yun Wei quickly turned his head, and the arrow grazed his cheek and got stuck in the door frame on the side of the curtain.

Yun Wei frowned, it seemed that the person coming was no ordinary person.

"master."

Yun Wei stopped the carriage and had already drawn his sword. Xiao Zuochen also held the dagger tightly in his hand. There was silence all around, and the two of them looked around cautiously, but there was no movement at all.

Just when Xiao Zuochen was about to open his mouth and ask Yun Wei, four men in black flew out with swords in their hands from different directions. Their target was clear - Xiao Zuochen.

Yun Wei immediately swung his sword, but he could only restrain two people. Xiao Zuochen hurriedly used his light kung fu to get away, but the other two pressed on him step by step, and finally forced him back into the orange grove beside him. Now he and Yun Wei were about to separate, but Xiao Zuochen had no choice but to continue using his light kung fu to dodge. But the two people behind him kept using their sword energy to cut off the branches in front of them, blocking Xiao Zuochen's chosen escape route.

Seeing Xiao Zuochen being forced into the orange leaf forest, Yun Wei wanted to chase him, but was stopped by the two people who had been fighting with him.

"Take care of yourself first!"

The man in black said as he danced with his sword and stabbed towards Yun Wei's face. Although Yun Wei was very skilled in martial arts, it was obvious that the two assassins were not bad either. Although they were not sure they could kill Yun Wei, it was enough for two of them to hold him back. After a while, all three of them were injured to varying degrees.

On the other side, Xiao Zuochen kept running away, he didn't know where he had run to. The wound on his face scratched by the branches was bleeding, but Xiao Zuochen didn't have time to care about it.

"He only runs away and doesn't attack. What's going on? Didn't the intelligence say he knows martial arts?"

"What the hell! It seems like he only knows how to do Qinggong, and he fooled those idiots!"

The two killers who were chasing Xiao Zuochen started chatting while chasing.

"He's really good at Qinggong. He runs pretty fast."

"Brother, hurry up and catch up with him. Don't let him get away, or we won't be able to complete our mission."

The two men instantly summoned their internal strength and rushed forward, one of them extending a palm. Xiao Zuochen had no internal strength to speed up, and he couldn't dodge in time, so he could only take two palm strikes, and his body instantly fell down like a broken leaf.

"puff--"

Xiao Zuochen fell to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Two men in black followed closely behind and landed steadily.

"Your Highness Prince Yun, why are you doing this? Why don't we just give you a quick death? Why do you have to endure this torture?"

One of the taller men in black said this, with a mocking tone in his voice.

"Ahem, I know that the Queen sent you here. Helping her will do you no good at all. If you are only here for money, I am richer than her. All you need is to name your price."

Seeing that it was a life-and-death situation, Xiao Zuochen had no choice but to throw out the bait in order to save his life.

"No, Your Highness Prince Yun, you still don't know the Queen well enough. The benefits she can give are exactly what you can't give. It's such a pity that Your Highness Prince Yun can't learn internal strength, but he can use Qinggong to this extent, which is really a genius. However, what we martial artists hate most in our lives is that others are geniuses, so Your Highness Prince Yun, your life is decided by us!"

As they spoke, the two of them instantly sped up and rushed over, and Xiao Zuochen couldn't help but close his eyes.

It seems that there is no way to escape death today.

"clang--"

The crisp sound of metal collision exploded in Xiao Zuochen's ears. He subconsciously turned his head to cover his ears, but found that the pain he imagined did not come. When he opened his eyes, he found that there was a man standing in front of him. He had already pushed back two men in black by several meters. The man held a sword in his left hand, and his right hand... The sleeve of his right hand was actually empty.

"Master, I am late. I will be punished when I return."

The man had his back to Xiao Zuochen and spoke in a steady voice. Xiao Zuochen was stunned for a moment. The voice sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember which of his subordinates had a broken arm.

"So they are the guards of King Yun, let's get rid of them as well!"

After all, Yun Wei, the first guard beside King Yun, could be entangled by his two brothers, so this one must be no more than that.

After that, the two men in black flew towards the man, but the man turned his left hand and blocked the two men's attacks with one move. Then he exerted force instantly and slashed at them. There was no unnecessary movement, and the sword force alone was enough to suppress the two men in black. It seemed that this man was no less powerful than Yun Wei, but who was he?

After the man chopped down several times in a row, the two men in black had to work together to withstand his each blow. Even so, their knuckles were bleeding. With the last blow, they could not bear it anymore. They looked at each other and turned around to escape.

"You're leaving now? What a shame! I've taken both of your lives today!"

Isn't this what they just said to King Yun? The retribution came too quickly!

Just as the two were about to escape, the man pulled out a weapon from his arms. The weapon looked a bit like a crossbow, but the crossbow arrow was shot out from a round mouth, and the size of the weapon was smaller than a crossbow.

After two muffled groans, the two men fell to the ground and twitched. Before Xiao Zuochen could speak to stop them, the man had already landed beside them and killed them one by one with his sword.

In fact, Xiao Zuochen wanted to keep them alive to ask them what benefits the queen could give them, but the man acted too quickly.

"master."

The man turned around, and Xiao Zuochen finally saw his face clearly. It would have been fine if he hadn't seen him, but when he did, he was shocked.

"Yun Feng!"

"It's me, Master. I'm back."

Yun Feng grinned at him, but this smile was not as cheerful and unrestrained as before. Now he was more calm and experienced.

"master!"

Yun Wei's anxious voice came from a distance. He was covered in blood and it was unclear whether it was his or the enemy's. Similarly, Yun Wei was also stunned when he saw Yun Feng.

Yun Feng smiled at him.

"Master, let's leave here first. It's not safe here."

Yun Feng knew that they were all shocked when they saw his appearance, but he was not in a hurry to explain anything. The most important thing right now was to reach a safe place.
