The Journey of the Empress of Quick Travel

Chapter 47 Acting
  Feng Ling thought to herself, this man's observation skills are indeed very keen, even shrewder than Xiao Jiu, no wonder he can become the owner of the killer building.

Seeing how smart and talented he is, his future achievements cannot be underestimated.

Unfortunately, what he did brought disaster to the entire Red Leaf Valley.

Considering the current situation, the two decided to temporarily join forces.

Since it was getting late, Mo Lingqiu found a small farmhouse nearby, and the three of them spent the night there.

They all know that there are many inconveniences in traveling at night, and staying in an inn makes it easier to expose your whereabouts.

The killers are still on their trail, so choosing a farmyard is the safest bet.

Feng Ling finally had the chance to change out of her wet clothes. Mo Lingqiu is responsible for the three people's expenses, including accommodation and food.

The next morning, they also received a simple breakfast prepared for them by the couple in Xiaoyuan.

In this desolate place, we no longer care about dignity and status, and enjoy this simple meal together.

During the meal, Feng Ling obeyed Mo Lingqiu's advice.

She smiled, gave him a large piece of green vegetables with chopsticks, and said:

"Mo Lingqiu, you need to eat more. Fortunately, you are here. We had to spend the night in the wilderness last night."

Mo Lingqiu accepted her kindness calmly, without showing any resistance on her face, and said respectfully:

"I would like to express my gratitude to my lady for the reward."

At the same time, Ying Xiaojiu felt a little depressed on the side.

He looked at Mo Lingqiu's bowl full of green vegetables, and then compared it with his own bowl which was empty, and his eyes unconsciously turned to Feng Ling beside him.

Watching the two of them interacting back and forth, he felt even more depressed, and even felt that the meal had lost its original taste.

Suddenly, Ying Xiaojiu felt a surge of sadness in her heart.

He pursed his lips and unconsciously held the chopsticks tightly, trying to attract Feng Ling's attention so that she could see that there was nothing in his bowl.

However, Feng Ling never looked at him. Smiling, he picked up a piece of green vegetables with chopsticks again, handed it to Mo Lingqiu, and said softly:

"Brother Lingqiu, please eat more. I misunderstood you yesterday, and I'm really sorry. You weren't injured yesterday, were you?"

Hearing this tone, Mo Lingqiu also felt a little bit sour.

Feeling the knife-like gaze from the other side, you could almost feel yourself being burned by that gaze.

Mo Lingqiu was a little worried that Ying Xiaojiu would be harmful to him behind his back. He quickly responded:

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern, Miss..."

Before he finished speaking, Ying Xiaojiu on the opposite side could no longer bear it.

He quickly put down the bowl in his hand, and the bottom of the bowl lightly touched the table, making a crisp "bang" sound, instantly interrupting the conversation between the two.

The two of them looked up at the same time and saw that Xiao Jiu did not look at them, but just put down his chopsticks. whispered,
  "My subordinates have eaten enough. Let's explore the way ahead first."

Ying Xiaojiu's voice was hoarse, with a slightly muffled nasal sound.

Apparently, he was impatient. I was afraid that if I stayed any longer, I would really be able to beat that guy up again.

It was clear that before he came, the master only smiled at and was kind to him. What does this mean now?
  Feng Ling looked at Xiao Jiu's leaving figure, her heart full of worry.

She wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Mo Lingqiu's words.

Mo Lingqiu reminded her that Ying Xiaojiu's anger showed that he cared.

Feng Ling hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to believe Mo Lingqiu's words.

Feng Ling pursed her lips slightly and watched as the back figure disappeared completely, and then turned to look at Mo Lingqiu beside her, "You're right, I can't keep accommodating him like this. If every time he gets angry, I just wanted to cajole him, but this won’t solve the problem at all, and this piece of wood won’t heal.”

There was a hint of joyful smile on her lips, she turned around and patted Mo Lingqiu on the shoulder, and said to him with curved eyes,

"Your method is still effective. He almost couldn't bear it anymore. He obviously cares about me, so why doesn't he admit it?"

Mo Lingqiu responded with a smile,

"That's it. As long as he can't help it anymore, Miss Fourth's goal will be achieved, and Xiaojiu won't be able to deny it."

When she thought of this, Feng Ling's cheeks also turned slightly red.

Feng Ling raised her head and glanced at Mo Lingqiu, her eyes slightly uncomfortable. After all, she was exposing all her thoughts in front of another man, which would inevitably make her a little embarrassed.

"Well, thank you very much this time."

"What happened in the ruined temple was indeed my fault, and you were slightly injured. When I return to Red Leaf Valley, I will definitely ask my father to help you...ah!"

"careful!"

Before she could finish her words, several Liumo-shaped hidden weapons suddenly appeared. They penetrated the window paper and shot towards the two people in the house at high speed.

For Feng Ling, this sudden hug was undoubtedly a shock. If Mo Lingqiu hadn't reacted quickly and raised the wooden table in time to block it, the consequences would have been disastrous.

"What happened?"

When Feng Ling saw the hidden weapon on the table, her face instantly turned pale, and her eyes showed deep worry.

"It seems that the group of killers from before are chasing us."

Mo Lingqiu explained, and then added,
  "We need to get out of here quickly."

Mo Lingqiu felt that the matter was not simple. It was impossible for this group of people to let them go so easily. There must be back-ups.

Just as he finished speaking, Mo Lingqiu suddenly felt dizzy, his brain seemed to be shrouded in thick fog, the power of his body seemed to be withdrawn, and the internal force that was originally flowing in his body disappeared without a trace.

He staggered back a few steps, barely able to stand still.

Fortunately, Feng Ling helped him in time, otherwise he would have fallen to the ground.

"What's wrong with you? Are you injured? Why can't you stand suddenly?"

Feng Ling nervously supported Mo Lingqiu, her eyes full of worry.

Mo Lingqiu gritted his teeth and shook his head vigorously, trying to regain some consciousness.

"We seem to have fallen into someone else's trap."

Mo Lingqiu's voice was intermittent, and his palms unconsciously pressed on his chest. The pain there was like a spreading flame, making it almost impossible for him to stay standing.

His eyes shifted to the food on the table, and the truth contained in it made Mo Lingqiu shudder instantly.
  "The food was drugged..."

His negligence this time was really careless. He originally thought that not staying in the inn would reduce the risk, but he didn't expect that the other party had set up an ambush in the wilderness.

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Lingqiu felt another sharp pain in his chest. He was unable to support his body at this moment, and cold sweat continued to seep from his forehead.

Feng Ling also immediately understood the situation, her eyes fell on the food that had fallen to the ground, and she asked anxiously,
  “But if there’s poison in the food, how can I be okay?”

Mo Lingqiu shook his head feebly, his face looking extremely pale.
  "This... my subordinates don't know either..."

This was also the doubt in his mind at the moment.
