Mu Lan looked at his hands, and then at him.Dong Ling seemed to have sensed her gaze, glanced down, and said indifferently: "Didn't it mean that you can't leave your sight? It's the safest way."

is that so?Mu Lan felt that there was an unexplained smile in his seemingly indifferent eyes.

Blinking her eyes, she pretended to be innocent and said: "But, how good is it that a man and a woman can't kiss each other?"

"Didn't you already kiss me?" Dong Ling answered without blushing and heartbeat.

Mu Lan, on the other hand, was so heartbroken by what he said, she thought she had heard wrong, would Dong Ling talk to her like that?However, the words just now clearly came from his mouth.Mu Lan pursed her lips, looked at him half jokingly and half seriously, and said, "Your Majesty Dong Ling, were you just... were you teasing me?" [

Dong Lingjue only looked back at her, with a half-smile in his eyes, then continued to turn forward, and said lightly: "It's just a courtesy."

He... actually admitted it?Mu Lan only felt that the bases of her ears were slightly hot, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

It has been a long time since they walked together holding hands like this.No matter what his reasons are, if he can get along with him to this point along the way, even if he has to go his own way after going out, he is satisfied.

At this moment, Mu Lan didn't know that what was waiting for her outside the forest was an unexpected crisis.

Jin Ning was unable to catch up with Xi Feng, and returned to the teahouse under the persuasion of the accompanying guards. It was already midnight when the border crossed.Several guards who were ordered to find the national teacher had already been waiting there. Seeing her return, one of them hurriedly reported the encounter with Mo Yan.

"You mean, the national teacher chased him to the south?" Jin Ning knew Mo Yan's ability, but he just didn't know if he could really catch up with Xifeng.However, it doesn't matter to her. Anyway, the queen mother is sure to die, and the two big troubles are gone, so it's easy.

She had asked Mo Yan to be notified at the beginning to prevent him from seeing Mu Lan first, but she never thought that things would go so smoothly.It seems that even God is helping her.

"Then, is there any whereabouts of Your Majesty?" Jin Ning asked again. Now, for her, nothing is more important than finding Dongling Jue.In particular, as long as she thought that he was staying with Mu Lan and had been missing for so long, her heart could not calm down.

Another person replied: "This subordinate found a den of thieves in a mountain forest more than ten miles away. It was full of remnants of corpses. Judging from the wounds, it seemed to be the work of the king. But the night was dark, and the subordinates waited. There was not enough manpower, so I had to come back to report, and happened to meet General Yanfeng, who had already led people into the mountain to search after he knew the situation."

After deliberating in his heart, Jin Ning said: "Immediately send people back to Wujiang, dispatch troops, and be sure to search all the mountains in this area for me."

"Yes." After such a big incident, she is the only one who can give orders now, and the guards naturally dare not have Wei, so they hurriedly braved the night and rushed towards the direction of Wu Jiang.

Although the direction of Dongling's absolute selection was correct, they had already deviated from the official road for more than a hundred miles, so this circuitous road to the north took the entire morning of the next day before arriving at a market town.After exchanging the only sword on their bodies for a horse, the two finally bid farewell to the hardships of walking on foot.

Mulan was extremely cautious along the way, but everything went smoothly.Until, in the evening, I ran into Jin Ning on the official road dozens of miles away from Wujiang.

After all, the teahouse was simple and located in the wilderness, with little information and no manpower.Therefore, Jin Ning returned to Wu Jiang under the escort of two guards in the early morning, but never dreamed that he would meet Dong Lingjue and Mu Lan on the way.

Of course, what surprised her even more was that the two of them not only rode together, Dong Lingjue was only wearing a shirt, and the brocade robe that belonged to him was now worn by Mu Lan.Judging by the expressions on the faces of the two, it seemed that they got along very well.

Dong Lingjue never expected to meet Jin Ning in such an abrupt situation, and his face froze for a moment.Even Mu Lan in his arms looked surprised, but soon calmed down.

Jin Ning sat on the horseback blankly, looking at Dong Lingjue and Mu Lan opposite him, feeling as if he had been struck by five thunderbolts.In the past few days, she had guessed the situation of him and Mulan staying together several times, and persuaded herself not to worry about it several times.However, she never expected that she would encounter such a heart-piercing scene.

As expected, she was a good tactic, and he was on guard in every possible way, but he still let her forcefully intervene.However, if she thought that she would be able to obtain Dong Ling Jue smoothly, she would be very wrong!

Jin Ning's eyes seemed to be bleeding, and suddenly he rolled his eyes, and his whole figure seemed to be emptied in an instant, and he went limp from the horse's back. [

"Mulan!" Mu Lan only heard the people behind her blurt out an exclamation, and then, with a gust of cold wind, she rushed out like an arrow off the string, and the moment before Jin Ning fell off the horse's back, she was right and wrong. caught her.

Behind her, without his embrace, Mu Lan only felt a chill.

"Mulan, wake up." Dong Ling shook the person in his arms full of guilt and uneasiness, then stretched out his hand to probe the artery in her neck, felt the beating there, and felt a little relieved, but he still couldn't help it. Dare to relax, until seeing her trembling eyelids and slightly opening her eyes, the breath that was raised in her throat was exhaled.

"Je..." Jin Ning weakly called his name, before he could speak, tears flowed out first, choked up and said: "I'm sorry for you...I...I failed to protect the Queen Mother..."

In the end, as if he had exhausted all his energy, his eyes drooped and he passed out again.

Dong Lingjue's whole heart hung up, not only because of her body, but also because of the words she said before she fell into a coma.

"What happened?" He asked the two accompanying guards in a deep voice.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the Empress Concubine De was worried about your safety, so after learning that you were going out of the city to meet the Empress Dowager, she rode a horse and chased her out overnight. Unexpectedly, after reuniting with the Empress Dowager, she did not find your trace , So, half of the accompanying guards were dispatched to search along the way. After arriving at Duanling teahouse, the national teacher said that he had found your whereabouts, so he rode out to look for it. Unexpectedly, at this time, Xifeng appeared..."

While recalling the whole story, the guard replied tremblingly: "I don't know what method Xi Feng used to win the trust of the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager asked everyone to leave the teahouse, questioned him alone, and then let him go. Unexpectedly, after he left for a while, the queen mother...was poisoned. The empress immediately ordered someone to chase him back, and wanted to ask him for the antidote, but unexpectedly, he wounded everyone, robbed the queen mother and ran away."

Another guard also added guiltily: "It was my subordinates who were able to do so. The empress personally led the subordinates to hunt them all the way, but they still lost him. The subordinates were worried about the empress's health, and after persuading her, she returned. Tea Lao. Today, the empress insisted on going back to Wujiang, and personally led the troops to find the whereabouts of you and the queen mother. Fortunately, I met you here..."

Dong Ling is definitely a filial person, this news is like a bolt from the blue to him.The queen mother is his only close relative in this world, but now, she was poisoned and robbed. Suddenly, he felt pain and anger in his heart, and his whole heart was pulled.
