Looking at the faintly flickering fire in the distance, Ji Lang didn't hesitate too much: "Let's go down the mountain as soon as possible before the fire is up."

When he was speaking, he glanced at Cheng Xie without a trace, as if worry flashed through his eyes.

"Go to the south. The fire over there hasn't burned yet." Cheng Xiezhi quickly judged the current situation, pulled Ji Lang up and walked down the mountain.

——In any case, at least Ji Lang cannot be allowed to die in this place.

Whether it's because of his deal with Ji Lang, or other reasons.

System: "Turning left from here is the fastest way to go down the mountain. The person who set fire to the mountain was Sikong Mingyao, and he led an army to besiege at the foot of the mountain. Ji Lang alone has no way to contend with King Qi's army head-on. .”

"Feng Qinghan and Xihai Hou Shizi have been rescued, and the other people who stayed in the village were also arrested by Sikong Mingyao."

It used a cold mechanical voice to broadcast the current situation to Cheng Xiezhi's ears, without any emotion.

"Host, I'm afraid you're going to overturn this time."

The system said without emotion, trying to suppress its gloating that the host was about to overturn.

Even if they could break out of the encirclement from the fire, they would not be able to resist King Qi's army brought by Sikong Mingyao.Unexpectedly, King Qi would not hesitate to spend such a large amount of money in order to retaliate against them.

Cheng Xiezhi raised a sharp arc on his brows, "That's not necessarily the case."

……

A group of people quickly passed through the dense forest, and Ji Lang suddenly said: "There is an army under the mountain. I heard the sound of military horns."

"Yes." Cheng Xiezhi replied softly, "It's the elite under King Qi's command, there should be quite a few people here."

The fire was getting bigger and bigger, reflecting the verdant vegetation, and the flames grew wildly in the wind, almost burning half of the sky.But the fire on the road they walked was still mild, without scorching heat, as if it had been deliberately set aside.

It is conceivable that such a road will not be much safer because the fire is small.Cheng Xiezhi saw the situation in his eyes, and soon understood Sikong Mingyao's intention. He set fire to the mountain, forcing them to have nowhere to go. Catch a turtle in a urn.

Cheng Xiezhi estimated the number of people who came to hunt them down based on the information fed back by the system, and Meifeng pressed down lightly—there were too many people to hunt down, and even he couldn't fully guarantee that he would bring Ji Lang and his group of men with them. And retreat.

It was Sikong Mingyao's idea to set fire to the mountain to force them out, and nine out of ten he did so to capture them alive.But according to King Qi's temperament of vengeance, he must not want to take the lives of these two guys who made him lose his face.Sikong Mingyao is fledgling now, and there is no need to disobey his father's orders for them. Under such circumstances, it can be said that if they are caught, they will only have a dead end.

Then we can only capture the thief first and capture the king first.The gloomy look in Cheng Xiezhi's eyes flashed for a week, and he had made up his mind in an instant, and said, "There are people under the command of King Qi coming in front, and they should come to search for us."

Ji Lang moved his hand on the sword at his waist: "Here we come."

This is an eight-person team, Cheng Xiezhi appeared in the field of vision, and was about to call out for his companions, when the young man floated to his side like a ghost, and the blue bamboo flute swept the back of his neck with a strong wind. Before the whole team could recover from the astonishment of Cheng Xiezhi's sudden appearance, they were all knocked to the ground.

Ji Lang's subordinates stared at the ordinary bamboo flute in Cheng Xiezhi's hand, and couldn't help touching the back of his neck, feeling a dull pain in the back of his neck for no reason.

Cheng Xiezhi glanced at them, and calmly put the bamboo flute into his sleeve - although it was not as convenient as a sword, it was the only weapon in his hand.Ji Lang walked over and whispered to Cheng Xiezhi, and ordered his subordinates to take off the team's clothes and put them on themselves.Cheng Xiezhi and Ji Lang went up the mountain with a total of nine people, one more than the eight-member team in front of them.

After discussing with everyone, they decided to let a few subordinates pretend to be King Qi's subordinates to inquire about the situation.Cheng Xiezhi and Ji Lang stayed here temporarily, waiting for their news, and then discussing how to get out of this heavy encirclement.

Cheng Xiezhi didn't intervene in their discussion, he broke a branch at random, and woke up a person who was knocked out by himself.

When Xiao Bing woke up from the ground, his consciousness was still groggy. Before he could fully open his eyes, he stared at him with a smiling face, and his whole soul was scared out of his mind.

Cheng Xiezhi rested his chin, and said in an unhurried voice: "Don't faint, I will kill you if you faint."

"..."

Xiaobing was completely awake subconsciously.

Cheng Xiezhi pointed out to him a few "companions" who had just put on armor: "Take your companions down the mountain. Remember not to say anything you shouldn't say—"

The unparalleled young man tilted his head: "Otherwise, insects will come out and bite off your tongue."

Xiao Bing covered his stomach with his hands in horror, his legs went limp under the gaze of Cheng Xiezhi's meaningful smile.

"What poison did you poison me?!"

Cheng Xiezhi changed his chin posture, showing a little more innocence. His butterfly-like eyelashes blinked slightly, and he opened his lips and said two words: "Guess?"

These two words gave people a sense of oppression than directly saying what kind of poison was poisoned. Xiao Bing was even more frightened. He stared at Cheng Xiezhi, and could hold his thigh and cry in the next second.

The corners of Ji Lang's eyes twitched when he saw clearly that Cheng Xiezhi hadn't done anything, and felt a little funny again.

After Xiaobing endured the humiliation and left with his new "companion", Cheng Xiezhi walked up to Ji Lang again, his glazed eyes rolled around, and he asked doubtfully, "Why did you let all your subordinates leave? "

Even Ji Lang's subordinates just proposed to leave a few people to protect him, but he refused.Although the old saying goes, "The son of a thousand gold can't sit down", but the current situation is not in this form at all. Maybe it's safer for Ji Lang to pretend to be the king of Qi and go down the mountain.

"Then what about you?" Ji Lang looked at him, "Why don't you leave? Xiezhi?"

When he pronounced Cheng Xiezhi's name, there was an inexplicable meaning, his tone was almost gentle and tender, but the ending sound was always suppressed, as if he was deliberately suppressing something.

Cheng Xiezhi didn't need to hesitate in his answer: "Because there aren't many people who can take clothes off."

At least one person is needed who knows the situation in King Qi's army, can help deal with emergencies, and can lead the way, and the remaining seven people who happen to be next to Ji Lang will have a share.

Ji Lang was not surprised by this answer, "I thought you would say that you can't just leave me because of the deal, lest I accidentally die."

Cheng Xiezhi nodded, "You can think so too. I told you that this deal with you is very important to me."

When he said this, his tone was so understated that it was hard to believe the so-called "importance" in his mouth.If Ji Lang hadn't been familiar with his temperament, he would probably have thought it was a joke to echo him.

The wind blew the scorching breath of vegetation and caressed the mountains and forests, blowing Cheng Xiezhi's wide sleeves, revealing half of his slender fingers, and the blue bamboo flute was pinched at the fingertips.

Cheng Xiezhi frowned: "The smoke is already very choking, and the fire will probably spread in from outside soon."

Bad situation.

"It should be easy for Xiezhi to leave this mountain forest by himself." Ji Lang suddenly said these words without beginning or end, "I remember that the Jade Seal of Chuanguo is invulnerable to water and fire, and there was a big fire in the Yizheng Hall of the previous dynasty , half of the main hall was turned into ruins, but the jade seal rescued by the palace staff was unscathed."

Cheng Xiezhi let out a "huh".

The real Chuanguo Yuxi may have this ability, but he is just a fake.

He looked up at Ji Lang, feeling that he still had something to say.

Sure enough, Ji Lang smiled: "Xiezhi will return to his original body, don't be troubled by me."

"But King Qi probably wants to kill me more. It's not that you are hurting me." Cheng Xiezhi felt that Ji Lang's words were completely unreasonable, but he understood what Ji Lang meant, so that he could turn back into Yuxi without caring about him. Come out after the fire subsides.

A strange feeling passed through his heart.

"If you're worried about the deal—" Ji Lang's eyelashes drooped, "You've already found me the antidote medicine, and the deal is considered complete. If you want luck, you can take it away at any time."

"You said that you will leave after the transaction is over, then you can leave now, Xie Zhi."

"Actually, before I set off, I ordered the elite to accompany me, so I should be here soon. It is not impossible to win against King Qi's subordinates." Ji Lang said, "If I am lucky, I will come after everything is over. Looking for you."

He stared at Cheng Xiezhi with deep eyes, full of complicated and unspeakable emotions.

Cheng Xiezhi looked at him without blinking. Ji Lang said a lot, but he didn't really listen to them all.He looked at Ji Lang, and a vague feeling broke through his chest at this moment, and the cloud broke through the moon, and it became clear in an instant.

He finally understood the secret and not secret thoughts that Ji Lang had shown to him, blurted out because of rare surprise - "Do you like me?"
