On the wedding night, the prince asked me to see an andrologist

Chapter 507: Catch up

Because there is a love flower Gu secretly pulling her between her and Chu Lixuan.

Ning Muqing successfully found Chu Lixuan's residence in Ping'an Town, but there was no one there when she arrived.

I was secretly feeling strange.

Ning Muqing walked to the yard, wondering whether to stay here and wait for Chu Lixuan to come back, or come back tomorrow.

A burst of soft footsteps suddenly came from the alley outside the courtyard gate.

Two gentle footsteps came, and the courtyard door faced the alley.

The moonlight passed over the low walls on both sides and shone diagonally into the alley. The light was extremely dim, and ordinary people would not be able to see anything clearly, but for Ning Muqing, it was enough illumination.

She saw two figures passing through the alley, like two silent ghosts, hurrying past the courtyard gate.

Who are these people?

He is sneaky and mysterious in the middle of the night. Is there such a person lurking in Ping'an Town?
Ning Muqing narrowed her eyes warily, chasing the two figures through the crack in the door, seemingly invisible.

She didn't dare to stare directly.

While observing, Ning Muqing captured their footsteps. When the two figures completely disappeared in the darkness and the footsteps became farther and farther, she quickly climbed over the low wall, followed lightly, and followed along the road.

She was a little curious, what did these people do?

Does it have anything to do with the black-clad assassins she met in the river guard?
It is better to choose a day than to hit it.

Now that you have met it, why not go and have a look!

Ning Muqing kept a safe distance that was neither too far nor too close and would not be discovered, and stayed behind the two people.

She soon discovered that these two people were very familiar with the topography of Ping'an Town. They did not take the main road at all along the way. Instead, they kept going into various narrow alleys, making twists and turns, which added a lot of trouble to her tracking. .

Besides.

They also know the time and location of patrols by government officials.

Along the way, I passed by patrolling government officials several times. There was only a low wall between them, but I never bumped into them once.

what does this mean?
Ning Muqing's eyes gradually deepened and she looked thoughtful.

She followed the two people through several alleys, and gradually came to the west of Ping'an Town. Because she didn't understand the terrain, she didn't know what was to the west, but she could clearly feel that the surrounding houses were getting sparser and sparse, and the environment was more desolate.

What could possibly happen if I ran to a place like this?

Ning Muqing carefully avoided the weeds, her light footsteps almost inaudible, stepping on the moss-covered stone slabs.

suddenly--

A subtle feeling of something wrong came over me!

Ning Muqing subconsciously stopped and looked around warily. The surroundings were silent and dark, and there was no sound.

Illusion?
She continued to track forward, and as soon as her footsteps sounded, that subtle and weird feeling hit her again.

Ning Muqing's eyes darkened. Could it be that...

She pretended not to notice anything and continued to follow cautiously. When she passed a corner again, her figure flashed and disappeared into the darkness.

one second.

two seconds.

three seconds
A ghostly figure flashed past, chasing her around the corner in the direction she disappeared.

Ning Muqing was caught off guard, dodged out of the alley and stabbed him with the dagger.

Amidst the fierce wind, the other party showed no intention of dodge, and sneered coldly, "Heh."

Between the electric light and stone fire——

The other party made a quick spin and grabbed her shoulders very quickly.

From the beginning to the end, Ning Muqing didn't hear what the other party said. She only judged that he was a man based on his strength and body shape.

The moves are fierce and fast, and the strikes are ruthless.

This kind of attack path
Ning Muqing didn't know why, but the more he fought, the more familiar it became.

The next second, she felt a chill on her neck, like a cold spike pressing against her throat.

The man's deep and cold voice sounded, "Who are you?"

"..." Ning Muqing froze when she heard this voice.

"Don't do it, it's me."

The man's movements were stagnant and his tone was suspicious, "Ning Muqing?"

Ning Muqing moved and turned her head as hard as she could, revealing half of her snow-white face, "Can't you even recognize me now?"

At this time, the wind happened to blow, the clouds dispersed, and the moonlight suddenly became much brighter.

Chu Lixuan looked down at half of her face and frowned slightly, "Where is the disguise on your face?"

"After soaking in the river all night, it has been washed away long ago." Ning Muqing moved her wrist, "Let go first, it hurts so much."

Chu Lixuan let go and took a step back.

Ning Muqing turned around, frowned and rubbed her wrist.

The moonlight shines on the other side of the corner, and in the blurry light, the skin on her face is as white as snow, as if it will dissipate in the next second.

The two people spoke almost at the same time, "Why are you here?"

"Why are you following me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Lixuan raised his eyebrows.

Ning Muqing knew what he wanted to ask, and said helplessly, "I'll explain to you later. Did you follow me when you saw me coming out of your yard?" The man nodded and asked again, "What are you doing?"

"I met some sneaky people and wanted to follow them, but I found you halfway."

Ning Muqing pointed forward and lowered her voice, "They are going that way. If you don't chase them, you will lose them. Let's talk slowly on the way."

Chu Lixuan knew that she would not joke about serious matters, so she must have really discovered something.

The two people exchanged glances and soon chased along the alley.

But unexpectedly, at the end of the alley, we reached a river. On the other side of the river were dense reeds, rustling in the wind.

The two cloaked figures had long since disappeared.

"Have you lost me?" Ning Muqing looked around and frowned slowly.

"Who are you chasing?" Chu Lixuan asked.

Ning Muqing, "Two practitioners, wearing cloaks, were sneaking through the alley in the middle of the night. I don't know what they were doing."

Chu Lixuan, "Are you a boy or a girl?"

Ning Muqing, "Can't see clearly, but it feels like two men."

Chu Lixuan, "Where did it appear from?"

Ning Muqing shook her head, "I don't know. I originally went to meet you in the courtyard, but you weren't there. When I wanted to go out, I heard footsteps, and then I found two people."

After a pause, she said, "After I went into the water a few days ago, I was attacked by a gang underwater."

She simply told Chu Lixuan what she had experienced in the past few days.

Chu Lixuan asked, "So you didn't return to the boat and were swept away by the river?" His cold eyes fell on the side of her face, "The disguise was also destroyed in the water."

"Well, bad luck."

Ning Muqing touched her face a little depressed and said, "As soon as I arrived in Ping'an Town today, I thought of coming to find you, but I bumped into these people again..."

Ning Muqing didn't say this, but Chu Lixuan could guess it.

Chu Lixuan thought for a moment, "Do you suspect that these two assassins are related to the person you met who attacked you?"

"I'm a little skeptical."

Ning Muqing did not deny it, and moved her shoulders, "I just thought, since we have encountered each other, there is no reason not to follow up and take a look, and according to my observation,

These two people knew the topography of Ping'an Town very well, and even knew the patrol patterns of the government officials, and deliberately avoided them along the way. I suspect that they have been in Ping'an Town for a while, and I don't know what their purpose is. "

After a pause, she said, "Ping'an Town is a mixed bag of fish and dragons, and the forces are more complicated than we imagined. The large caravan from Chen State is not sure whether it is real or not, and it has attracted caravans from all over the Zhou State. In addition, here Right next to the border with Chen State, it’s hard to tell whether it’s a human or a ghost.”

Chu Lixuan narrowed his eyes slightly and said nothing for a while.

Ning Muqing thought of something and turned to look at him, "By the way, what did you do tonight?"

"I'm looking for you." Chu Lixuan said coldly.

The two people looked at each other in tacit understanding.

Ning Muqing added, "One more thing..."

Before he finished speaking, Chu Lixuan suddenly looked sharply and pulled Ning Muqing into the alley.

Ning Muqing was surprised, "How..."

Chu Lixuan raised his hand to cover her mouth and said in a low voice, "There is someone!"

Ning Muqing was startled, calmed down immediately, and followed his gaze to the other side of the river.

At first, Ning Muqing thought it was blown by the wind, but then she realized that it was the sound made by someone walking around.

After a while, she saw two men in black walking out.

"It's them!" Ning Muqing's voice was very low and her eyes were fixed on the two.

She didn't expect that she and Chu Lixuan would be so lucky.

I thought I had lost track of him, but I didn’t expect it to take a completely unexpected turn!

What are they doing in a place like this?
Just as she was thinking this, Ning Muqing suddenly felt something was wrong.

After the two men in black came out of the reeds, they quickly walked onto the small bridge, and it seemed that they were coming in their direction.

not good!

Ning Muqing immediately tightened Chu Lixuan's sleeves and said quickly in a low voice, "They will run into each other if they want to go back the way they came."

Without saying a word, Chu Lixuan pulled her back quickly and hid.

The two men in black quickly crossed the bridge and hurried into the alley.

There was no conversation between them, they just kept their heads down and hurried on, their black clothes fluttering in the wind, like three ghosts floating in the night.

The low wall where Ning Muqing and Chu Lixuan were hiding was very close to the alley, and they almost passed by the two men in black.

In the night wind, a faint fishy smell floated along with the black clothes and crossed the tip of Ning Muqing's nose.

She frowned slightly.

This taste...

Wait until the two men in black quickly disappeared into the night and their footsteps faded away.

Ning Muqing turned her head and asked, "Should I pursue you or not?"

"Chase!" Chu Lixuan said with one word.

The two people chased him in unison.
