Chapter 198 Bloody Battle Valley

Yu Ruyan, who suddenly woke up, looked at herself and Mu Lingzhi, and understood in her heart that what she was having was not a dream, but a matter of husband and wife with him...

Mu Lingzhi seemed to be asleep, with his eyes closed tightly, but his right hand held her tightly in his arms and did not let go.She couldn't move, her face was blushing, and she couldn't face him...

In fact, Mu Lingzhi didn't fall asleep at all, and he was in the same mood as Yu Ruyan, very uneasy——

Although his heart was as sweet as honey, when he thought of the promise he made to her before, he also became flustered, closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep...

In the quiet valley, even the chirping of birds cannot be heard, and everything in the world seems to be sleeping.

Although Yu Ruyan was flustered for a long time, she finally fell asleep in Mu Lingzhi's arms because of the exhaustion just now...

Seeing that she was fast asleep, Mu Lingzhi suddenly opened his eyes, and his deep pupils shone coldly in the darkness.

He gently put Yu Ruyan down from his arms, and took out a set of white armor from the bottom of the closet, with a solemn face, and lightly stroked it with both hands!

He thought that he would not need to put on this set of armor that accompanied him in the north and south battles in this life, and he could truly disarm and return to the field and become a pair of fairy couples with Yu Ruyan.However, just like what she said to him before, as the prince, he must be in charge of the safety of the world and the people of Daliang. When the real national crisis comes, how can he stand by and ignore it? !

The moment the armor was put on again, Mu Lingzhi's resolute face reappeared with awe-inspiring murderousness.However, this time, it wasn't him leading the soldiers to fight the enemy bravely like in the past.This time, it was him fighting alone...

Standing by the bed, Mu Lingzhi looked at Yu Ruyan who was sleeping soundly with longing eyes, and the reluctance in his heart surged, making his heart throbbing...

He wanted to reach out and touch her eyebrows again, but his hand was still stuck in the air.

He was afraid that if his hands touched her cheek again, he would be reluctant to leave again...

She remembered that when she was drinking before, she told him that she wanted him to accompany her back to Qingyun Villa, and to visit Big Brother together.

At that time, he pretended to drink and did not answer her.

Now, he stood by the bed and stared at her obsessively, with grief in his heart, and said in a sour voice: "If... if I can survive this time, I will go to Qingyun Villa to find you and take you home..."

After all, he was afraid that if he stayed for a moment longer, he would collapse, so he shook his head and walked out ruthlessly...

Outside the door, there were only four of the eight originally scheduled guards guarding the door. Mu Lingzhi's eyes turned cold, and he said coldly, "Where are the other four?"

The leader of the dark guards stepped forward and knelt in front of Mu Lingzhi. Before he could speak, his eyes were moist, and he gritted his teeth and said with red eyes: "Master, please forgive me for not being able to respect your order this time. Eight of us, The four escorted the wife out of the valley, and the four stayed behind to accompany the master in a bloody battle to the end..."

"Bastard!" Mu Lingzhi's heart trembled when he heard this, and he suddenly became flustered.

His original plan was to have eight secret guards escort Yu Ruyan out of the valley along the stream, and let them send her to Yue Yu.But now, they have changed their minds without permission and insisted on keeping the four of them guarding in the valley with him, which immediately made Mu Lingzhi panic...

He knew how determined Sima Rong was to kill him this time, but since Sima Rong fought with him last time, he was jealous of him, and he couldn't figure out how many hidden guards were still in the valley, so , before finding out what was going on around him, Sima Rong was very cautious and didn't dare to make another move in vain.

Therefore, Mu Lingzhi decided to let the eight secret guards take advantage of the black breakout to send Yu Ruyan out of the valley before Sima Rong made a move, and he...

Up to now, he never thought of going to this valley alive again, because he knew that once he left with Yu Ruyan and the dark guards at the same time, all Sima Rong's forces would gather to encircle them, and he didn't want to drag the eight dark guards down Follow him to die, and don't want to implicate Yu Ruyan...

So, now he only has one idea, that is to drag all Sima Rong's soldiers and horses by himself, and die with Sima Rong...

"How did the four break out and send Madam out of the valley? You are too ignorant, hurry up and recall the other four people to carry out my last order, and this last order is, no matter what, we must protect Madam's safety and send her away smoothly. In the hands of the head of Yue, and then send the news of Wei's invasion back to the Eastern Capital. For the rest, you don't need to think about me..."

"But master, if you are left alone, it will be a dead end, subordinate... how can subordinates see master..."

The four hidden guards in front of him all knelt down in front of Mu Lingzhi with mournful faces. These tough guys who accompanied him in all the battles and battles, felt grief for the first time, and were no longer willing to listen to Mu Lingzhi. Ling Zhi's decisive arrangement.

"However, if you can't protect her life, send her safely out of the valley, and cause her death, that's the last thing I want to see." Mu Lingzhi felt sad about these loyal subordinates in front of him, but, all the time Thinking of Yu Ruyan, he had no choice but to make up his mind, and said coldly: "Forget it, don't talk anymore, immediately recall the other four people, and proceed according to the original plan I set, hurry up!"

Hearing this, the leader of the dark guard shook his whole body, his eyes glanced at the dark mountain peaks around the valley under the dark night, his lips trembled, but his eyes were unusually firm and said: "Master, it's too late!"

After hearing his words, Mu Lingzhi's eyes turned cold, and before he could ask further, he saw many fires bursting up from the surrounding mountain peaks, instantly illuminating the whole world, followed by noises and fighting sounds.

With just one glance, Mu Lingzhi already understood that the four hidden guards were the first to set fire to Sima Rong's besieging soldiers without telling him...

The matter has come to this point, and it is difficult for him to change it, so he said to the remaining four secret guards with a solemn face: "Taking advantage of the chaos, the four of you will immediately send your wife out of the valley! Remember, no matter what, the four of you must Protect Madam's safety, this is my last order to you... and request!"

After finishing speaking, Mu Lingzhi clasped his fists and bowed to the four hidden guards.

When did the hidden guards receive such a great gift from him, they couldn't help but look excited, and said as if they were dead: "The four of us, as long as we have breath, we will definitely send my wife to Qingyun Villa safely. Master...Treasure it!"

Mu Lingzhi's eyes turned hot, he gritted his teeth to suppress the grief in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "—Treasure!"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and looked at the tent again. The next moment, the long sword in his hand was unsheathed, and turned into a black shadow and ran towards the burning mountain...

When Yu Ruyan was woken up by the dark guards and walked out of the camp, what she saw was the surrounding fire and the sound of fighting. She was startled at first, thinking that she was dreaming.But feeling the heat of the flames on her body, and hearing the screams echoing around the valley, her whole body froze, only then did she realize that the terrifying things in front of her eyes were actually real.

At the first moment, she frantically searched for Mu Lingzhi, but besides the four hidden guards, she did not see Mu Lingzhi.Her heart fell into the ice cave in an instant, her eyes panicked, and her voice tremblingly said to the dark guards who were surrounding her and ran forward: "What happened? Where is my husband, where is your master? Where is he?"

Where did the four hidden guards dare to tell her that their master and the enemy risked their lives for her.Therefore, he could only grit his teeth and lead her to the stream without saying a word.

Seeing that they refused to tell her Mu Lingzhi's whereabouts, Yu Ruyan already had a bad feeling in her heart. Thinking of the previous assassination and the terrifying sharp iron hook that made Mu Lingzhi's flesh fly, her heart He felt severe pain, stretched out his hands and hugged the miscellaneous branches around him tightly, and said in a trembling voice: "If you don't tell me where he is, I won't leave!"

This time, the hidden guards were at a loss. They stopped and looked anxiously at the leading hidden guard.

Seeing more and more people from the Wei Dynasty pouring down the mountain, and those people also spotted Yu Ruyan and the others, and immediately chased them with the long machete in their hands.The head of the dark guard saw him, his eyes turned cold, and he no longer cared about the difference in status, he said 'offended', the next moment, he didn't care about anything else, he opened her hand, and carried her on his shoulder , ran wildly towards the stream.

However, the enemies pouring down from the mountain came from all directions, when Yu Ruyan and the others rushed to the stream, their way was blocked.

It was none other than Sima Rong himself who stopped Yu Ruyan and his party!
He seemed to have expected that the stream would be their last way out of the valley, so he guarded here himself!

Under the bright light of the torch, Sima Rong was dressed in a black outfit, his brown eyes gleamed with a gloomy coldness, his extremely thin lips curled up coldly, he was clearly smiling, but his expression was gloomy and cold.

He looked at Yu Ruyan in front of him with great interest, and said with a sneer, "It's not bad that you didn't catch Mu Lingzhi, but you caught his sweetheart!"

The four hidden guards guard Yu Ruyan in the middle, everyone is facing the horizontal sword, vowing to protect Yu Ruyan in the middle.

Sima Rong's gloomy and hawk-like eyes stared intently at Yu Ruyan, who was guarded by the dark guards, a hint of amazement and interest flashed in his gloomy eyes!

Although he had Mu Lingzhi's portrait of Yu Ruyan in his hand, and he had seen Yu Ruyan with his own eyes in Daqi, when he saw her again after a year, Sima Rong was still amazed in his heart. Too beautiful, compared with those girls in Dawei who deal with wind and sand every day, it is really far away. No wonder Mu Lingzhi is willing to give up the world for her and go back to the mountains!

Therefore, even a cold-blooded and ruthless person like him who only has power and country in his eyes and always regards women as a tool for venting, when he sees Yu Ruyan, he has a desire to take it as his own.

What's more, he also knows that Yu Ruyan's body is flowing with the incomparably precious blood of the jade girl, which can cure all poisons in the world!
There was an evil smile on the corner of her mouth, under the light of the torch, Sima Rong's wicked, charming face made Yu Ruyan's heart skip a beat. More and more people, her heart is cold.

Seeing Yu Ruyan panicked and flustered, Sima Rong smiled satisfied, waved the scimitar lightly in his hand, and said with a sneer, "The woman stays, and the others—kill them all!"

Following his order, the assassins of the Great Wei, surrounded by Yu Ruyan and five people, immediately rushed forward, and immediately fought with the four hidden guards...

Surrounded by four hidden guards, surrounded by the sound of fighting and screaming, warm blood inevitably splashed on her body and face, she stood there blankly, her whole body was icy cold, and her mind It's also blank...

Up to now, she just wanted to know urgently, where is Mu Lingzhi?Where did he go?Why doesn't he come out? She's so scared...

No matter how skilled the dark guard was, he couldn't compare to so many big Wei killers with the same martial arts skills around him.So, it didn't take long for the four hidden guards to be painted, each of them looked like a blood man.But even so, the blood-devouring long swords in their hands did not stop for a moment. When they raised the sword and dropped it, everywhere they went was covered in blood...

Moreover, from the beginning to the end, the four of them were back to back, guarding Yu Ruyan in the middle, stepping on the blood mark and moving inch by inch to the side of the stream...

Ever since she lost her memory, Yu Ruyan has been taken care of by Yue Yu and Mu Lingzhi with extreme care. Whenever she saw such a horrific massacre, her eyes were red with blood, her brain was roaring, and her heart was shaking. It's about to jump to the throat.

Moreover, the scene in front of her gave her a feeling of déjà vu, as if she had experienced such a massacre before, but when she searched for those forgotten memories in her mind, they flashed by and never Can't find...

When more and more big Wei killers fell under the swords of the four hidden guards, Sima Rong, who had been standing by the side with his arms folded and watching leisurely, became more and more dignified, and his face no longer looked like that of just now. The look of calmly watching the tricks.The next moment, he turned the scimitar in his hand and flew into the air. Like a roc that devours people, he jumped from the air and slashed at the leader of the dark guard who was the most skilled among the four.

The leader turned his head to the side, and before he had time to raise his sword to block his extremely sharp knife, his left arm was already cut off shoulder-to-shoulder...

A column of blood sprayed onto Yu Ruyan who was standing behind the leader, and the sharp tip of the scimitar that was cut on the leader's left arm almost passed through Yu Ruyan's face, leaving her Her cheeks were less than a point, and she flashed across her eyes fiercely...

Screaming stuck in her throat, Yu Ruyan stared dumbfounded at the leader's left arm being chopped off, she was so frightened!
Sima Rong's knife was extremely heavy. After cutting off the leader's left arm, the intimidating force made the leader unable to stand. He bent his knees and knelt on the ground...

The leader's face was as white as gold paper, and the place where the broken arm was broken was bleeding profusely.But in less than a moment, when Sima Rong swung the knife at him again, he knelt on one knee and stood up, blocked his scimitar with the long sword in his hand, and shouted at the other three companions: "Hurry up, Hurry up and protect Madam!"

How can the leader with a broken hand be the opponent of the brutal Sima Rong.Moreover, in fact, the three of them and Yu Ruyan were also heavily surrounded, how could they get away?
Sima Rong was as ferocious as the most ferocious wolf on the grassland. Every knife he cut was fatal to the leader.And the leader whose body was already stained red with blood, the sword in his hand became weaker and weaker...

Seeing that the scimitar in Sima Rong's hand slashed at the leader's head again, suddenly a long sword stretched out from the stab and stabbed at Sima Rong's eyes.

This sword was actually stabbed by Yu Ruyan towards Sima Rong!

Seeing that the leader was about to die, she touched the sword from the ground in panic, and stabbed Sima Rong in the eye without thinking...

Although he found the right timing, Sima Rong was distracted for a while and retracted the scimitar that he had slashed at the leader, saving the leader's life, but in the end, his sword skills were weak, and Sima Rong easily blocked it.

Sima Rong knocked down the long sword in Yu Ruyan's hand with a light slash, and even used the technique of capture, grabbed her hand, and snatched her away from the encirclement of the four people -

"I didn't expect to be a fierce character, let alone a ruthless character. It really opened my eyes!"

After finishing speaking, as soon as the ape arms were retracted, he hugged Yu Ruyan into his arms...

Yu Ruyan was so frightened that her mind was shattered, and she even hated this ferocious man like a wolf from the bottom of her heart.However, his hands gripped her wrist tightly like tongs, making her unable to move no matter how hard she struggled.And the four hidden guards couldn't move away to rescue her, so they had to watch helplessly as Yu Ruyan was kidnapped by Sima Rong.

"Let go of her!"

However, at this moment, there was a shout in the air.

Mu Ling's men hadn't arrived yet, but the long sword in his hand turned into a sharp cold light and stabbed at Sima Rong.Sima Rong was shocked when he heard the sound, and quickly swung his saber to block Mu Lingzhi's flying sword, but before he could dodge the long sword, Mu Lingzhi flew over, kicking Yu Ruyan's hand with his feet in the air, In the next second, Yu Ruyan was successfully taken back from his hands!

After this continuous movement, Sima Rong's face changed, and he stepped back a few steps, looking at Mu Lingzhi who descended from the sky like a god with a look of astonishment, but the latter returned to the group of four with Yu Ruyan in his arms. In front of the dark guard, with a kick of his foot, he casually raised a long sword on the ground and held it in his hand. The tip of the sword coldly pointed at Sima Rong, whose face had changed, and said to the four dark guards in a piercingly cold voice: "I have cut off the queen!" , you protect Madam and leave quickly!"

As soon as the words fell, Yu Ruyan was sent to the dark guard's hand, and the next second, the long sword in his hand was like a dragon out of water, and it was slaying towards Sima Rong...

From Mu Lingzhi appearing to rescue her, to handing her over to the hidden guards again, within a short time, Yu Ruyan didn't even have time to say a word to him, but his figure disappeared in front of her eyes——

He had already charged into the enemy with a long sword in his hand, blocking all the enemies for them by himself...

The four hidden guards didn't dare to hesitate any longer, pulled Yu Ruyan and jumped into the rolling stream with a plop.

On the shore, amidst the flames that filled the sky, Mu Lingzhi stood firm at the mouth of the stream, stopping the pursuers for them.

The moment she jumped into the stream, Yu Ruyan's whole body was cold from her feet to her head, and she suddenly understood the danger of Mu Lingzhi in her heart. She struggled to surface and shouted to Mu Lingzhi on the bank, "Mu Lingzhi , I will wait for you in Zhuangzi, you must come back to me..."

Because of yesterday's heavy rain, the current in the stream has also become turbulent. Before Yu Ruyan could say anything more, before she could hear Mu Lingzhi's answer, the current had already rushed her far away. Fortunately, the hidden guards After pulling her into the water, he tied her with the rope so that she would not be washed away by the water...

Mu Lingzhi, who was fighting bloody battles on the shore, heard her words, his whole body froze, and his heart throbbed with pain...

Seeing more and more Big Wei killers, seeing the ruthless expression on Sima Rong's face, Mu Lingzhi closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were blood red and determined...

……

When Yu Ruyan woke up again, it was already the morning of the second day, she had been successfully brought out of the valley by the hidden guards, and she was lying on a carriage, flying towards Qingyun Mountain.

She was the only one in the carriage, and there were no four hidden guards.She hastily lifted the curtain of the car, and saw the leader and another hidden guard sitting on the shaft of the car driving.

Seeing her wake up, the leader said with a pale face: "Madam, please go back and sit in the carriage. We are walking on a mountain road, which is very rugged, so don't fall out!"

Yu Ruyan asked anxiously: "Where is my husband, did he escape?"

The leader had just bandaged his arm, and his face was extremely pale because of bleeding too much. He was also worried about his master in his heart, wondering if he could hold on alone in the situation yesterday?
But when facing Yu Ruyan, he tried to relax his tone and said: "Madam, please don't worry, after we escaped, two brothers with less injuries have returned to help the master, and the two of us are responsible for sending Madam to Qingyun Villa..."

Yu Ruyan glanced at the surrounding environment casually, and at a glance, there were mountains and mountains, and she didn't know where she was?But she was most worried about Mu Lingzhi in her heart, so she couldn't help saying: "Let's go back, or you leave me here and save Mu Lingzhi first..."

Hearing this, the leader frowned and said: "Ma'am, I don't know something. The Wei people know that we have brought news. They have already sent people to chase and kill them all the way, so now we can't turn back, we can only rush to Qingyun Villa as soon as possible. , and send the news of Wei's invasion back to the Eastern Capital as soon as possible... Moreover, Madam, who soaked in water for a night last night, has a cold in her body and has a fever. I should hurry up and throw off the pursuers and send you to the doctor. !"

Hearing what he said, Yu Ruyan realized that her mind was in a daze, because she was too anxious just now, she was negligent and didn't notice it, and now she realized that her whole body was burning hot.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Since the military situation is urgent, don't be in a hurry to see a doctor for me, and send the news back quickly!"

After saying this, she couldn't hold on any longer, and fell into a faint in the carriage...

……

Seven days later, when Yu Ruyan was sent back to Qingyun Villa, she was already comatose from burning.Yue Yu stayed by her bedside for three days and three nights before rescuing her from the gate of hell.

When she woke up, it was nightfall, and candles were lit in the room. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Yue Yu who was guarding the bed. After seeing his appearance clearly, she was slightly startled, and said hoarsely. Said: "You are... Big Brother?!"

After reading Mu Lingzhi's letter to him, Yue Yu knew that her eyesight had fully recovered, but her memory hadn't recovered, so she couldn't help but smiled gently: "Yes, I am Yue Yu!"

Yu Ruyan stared blankly at the man with a warm smile in front of her, and felt a sense of deja vu in her heart. She was about to ask him if she had seen him before, when she suddenly thought of Mu Lingzhi, and couldn't help grabbing him anxiously. Yue Yu held his hand and asked: "Brother Da Da, do you have any news about my husband? Where are the hidden guards who sent me here? Where are they? Did you go back to the valley to look for him?"

Thinking of the news he had received, Yue Yu's eyes dimmed, and endless pain filled his heart.

But Yu Ruyan had just recovered from a serious illness, so he didn't dare to hit her again, so he gritted his teeth to suppress the trembling in his heart, and said slowly: "There is no news from the other side of the valley, and the two dark guards who sent you here have already rushed over." I went back to Dongdu. Now, you can live in the villa with peace of mind..."

Yu Ruyan sat blankly, thinking that there had been no news of Mu Lingzhi for so long, and thinking about the ferocity of that day, she already expected that he was probably going to be a disaster, so she couldn't help feeling sad, and the next second, Her tears rolled down, and she cried bitterly: "Brother Da Da, tell me, is Ling Zhi the third prince of Daliang, and I... and I am the fifth princess that Da Qi sent to marry me, right?!"

Yue Yu was startled when he heard the words, looked at her in astonishment, and asked hesitantly after a long time: "Did you...remember what happened before?!"
