Master Shennong

Chapter 775 Dangerous situation
Xihuang, the most desolate continent among the five continents in the world of cultivating immortals.

The brightest distribution on the entire continent is the desert, and the barren hills that accompany the desert.

There are few lush peaks to be seen on it, and the peaks that can be seen everywhere are covered with low bushes and rocks.

Occasionally, if you can see a few mountain peaks with lush forests, you have to be careful. If there are some big sects scattered on them, there must be a big family.

So much so that the strength of each city on the Western Wilderness Continent is based on the mountains and forests distributed outside the cities. For a small city like Ningbo City, there is naturally no such dense and verdant mountains and forests outside the city.

Low rocky mountains and barren hills, this is the whole picture of the desolate area outside Ningbo.

The night is getting darker, a round of bright moon sprinkles silvery brilliance, and the east wind brings warmth.

It seems that the seasons in the world of cultivating immortals and the earth are not too far apart. Counting the time, it seems that it has already reached the beginning of summer.

A group of light and simple people rode fast horses and escorted a carriage galloping on the desolate land outside Ningbo City, following a certain direction, and kept moving fast.

Horses, as a common means of traveling, are also very common in the world of cultivating immortals.

After all, there are only a few big families that can control spirit beasts, and more families do not have the strength to control spirit beasts.

The strength of a family in a short period of time has nothing to do with it, it relies on the foundation accumulated by a family over a long period of time.

There was only one person sitting in the carriage. He had a sweet appearance. When he smiled, he had two dimples on his face. When he was not smiling, he could also see two faint marks. He was wearing a pink dress.

She is Miss Ning, who is in charge of Ningbo City. Because Ning Che, the Patriarch of the Ning Family, got rid of her, she left the Ning Family and Ning Zheng in Ningbo City during the night.

In her hand, she held a kit.

The kit had been opened, and Ning Zheng, who was holding the kit in his hand, had a rare look of melancholy in his eyes.

She held the hand of the kit, looking very hard.

Because of Ning Che's protection, Ning Zheng has always been as clean as a blank sheet of paper. Her simplicity does not mean she is stupid. On the contrary, Ning Zheng is actually a very smart little girl in her bones.

Leaving Ningbo City was in a bit of a hurry. She just opened the kit a moment ago. Inside the kit was a jade pendant that looked ordinary. As an immortal cultivator, Ning Zheng felt very clearly that there was no aura in the jade pendant.

As a cultivator, would you use an ordinary jade pendant without aura as a token?
There is also the address written on one of the notes, that place Ningzheng has heard people mention occasionally, it is far away from Ningbo City, it is a majestic city, within a radius of [-] miles of Ningbo City, it can be said to be the largest city .

Tomorrow is the last day of the three-day deadline that the Qu family gave to the Ning family. Isn't it weird that her father asked her to leave to rescue soldiers so far away the night before?

Lifting the curtain of the carriage, Ning Zheng poked her head out and looked at a majestic figure beside the carriage, "Uncle Zhao, can you come closer here, I have something to ask you!"

It was a middle-aged man, his cultivation base was the strongest among the group of people guarding Ning Zheng, and he had reached the ultimate level of unity.

With such a cultivation base, even in the Ning family, he is one of the best masters.

Hearing the words, the middle-aged man immediately rode his horse and approached Ning Zheng. Before reaching Ning Zheng, he slowed down the speed of the horse and walked side by side with the carriage. "Miss, I don't know what confusion you have in mind?"

Ning Zheng pursed her lips, gritted her teeth and said, "Uncle Zhao, do we really want to find help for the Ning family when we leave tonight? But our destination is so far away from Ningbo City, even if we can find help, there will be a delay in going back and forth." , by the time we come back, the Qu family might have already taken action against our Ning family!"

Uncle Zhao, a middle-aged man, showed a bit of embarrassment. As a high-ranking member of the Ning family and Ning Che's confidant, he naturally knew what Ning Che wanted to do by letting Ning Zheng leave in the dark.

But how would he explain it to Ning Zheng? He has been in the Ning family for so many years and basically knows Ning Zheng the same as Ning Che. He knows Ning Zheng's temper very well.

Smiling slightly, to conceal the hesitation in his expression, Uncle Zhao concealed: "Miss, you ask me like this, but I don't know what to answer. The Patriarch should have the Patriarch's consideration, and we will do as instructed!"

After leaving this sentence, Uncle Zhao accelerated the speed of his horse and galloped forward for a certain distance.

Looking at the back of Uncle Zhao leaving, Ning Zheng still felt a little strange in her heart. She didn't think about other aspects, and sighed softly, "I hope so!"

Putting down the curtain, Ning Zheng sat back in the carriage, always feeling a little uneasy.

Ning Zheng is still very familiar with the area near Ningbo City. She often goes outside the city to relax under the escort of the experts of the clan.

Then in the moonlight, although she just glanced at it, she clearly knew the distance they traveled. They were already far away from Ningbo City, and if they walked outside, they would be able to walk out of the boundary of Ningbo City by bypassing two small rocky mountains.

It is a no-regret area, located in the middle of the two cities, during which there are not a few people who are dormant and want to snatch the resources of pedestrians, it is an extremely chaotic place.

Even though Ningzheng has always been cared for in Ningche's warm haven, she knows that it is not a good place.

She poked her head out once, but this time she didn't ask Uncle Zhao any more questions, but said, "Uncle Zhao, be more careful next time!"

As soon as Ning Zheng finished speaking, there was a piercing sound in his ears.

Although her cultivation base is not very strong, cultivating the immortal way has also increased the sensitivity of her five senses. Looking at her prestige, a flowing arrow is quickly magnified in her eyes.

Immediately after that stream of arrows, there were dozens of streams of arrows. The streams of arrows were engulfed in the strong wind, exuding a biting cold light, which made one's scalp tingle.

"Protect Miss!"

In the panic, Ning Zheng only heard Uncle Zhao's shout, and then the messy convoy regained its stability, and a group of strong men on tall horses surrounded the carriage.

Those people had been following the convoy that Ning Zheng had left, and Ning Zheng could clearly recognize the faces of each of them, and there were few faces that Ning Zheng felt familiar with.

It seems that those few arrows before were not without meritorious deeds, and successfully knocked down several strong men of the Ning family.

Liu Ya just shot for a while, and after knocking down a few strong men of the Ning family, no Liu Ya appeared again, and then Ning Zheng heard a particularly loud sound of kicking horseshoes, accompanied by the sound of horseshoes, her A group of more than a dozen cold-faced men in black uniforms appeared in sight.

The appearance of those dozens of people caused another commotion in the Ning family team. Obviously, that group of people brought a strong oppressive force to the Ning family team.

Looking around, Ning Zheng found that the strength of everyone in the group seemed a little unfathomable to her.

"Uncle Zhao!" Ning Zheng called carefully.

Uncle Zhao slowly moved the steed under his buttocks, approached the carriage for the second time, and said in a deep but convincing voice, "Miss, don't worry, I will do my best to protect your safety."

Ning Zheng's face never softened at all, looking at the group of people standing [-] meters away from Ning's convoy, he asked in a low voice, "Uncle Zhao, who are they? Bandits?"

Uncle Zhao looked solemnly, looked at the group of people, and even though he didn't want to admit it, he shook his head and said, "Probably not, the robbers in this three-way zone are not so powerful, nor are they so well-trained. Maybe from..."

"Qu Family!" Before Uncle Zhao could finish speaking, Ning Zheng spoke the name of a family.

Uncle Zhao's face became quite ugly, and he didn't speak, because Ning Zheng's guess was very likely to be correct.

If that group of people really came from the Qu family, then their actions must have been under the control of the Qu family. In this way, this time they must be in danger.

The Qu family is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and they will definitely not do some useless things. Looking at the strength of the group of strong people, there are only three people who have reached the ultimate level of unity, while the Ning family only has Uncle Zhao.

"Who are you!" Uncle Zhao squeezed through the crowd, stood in front of them, and faced the strong men in black uniforms.

The leader of the group let out a sneer when he heard the words, dropped the strong bow in his hand, drew out a thick knife by his waist, and said with a sinister smile: "You should be able to guess."

"The Qu family!" Uncle Zhao gritted his teeth and spit out three words.

"It's good to know!" The grim smile on the face of the leader was even stronger.

Since it is the Qu family, there is nothing to say. The reason why the Qu family appeared here must be for Ning Zheng.

With Ning Che's love for Ning Zheng, if the Qu family can capture Ning Zheng, they will definitely be able to control the Ning family without bloodshed and make Ning Che submit.

How could Ning Che be willing to give in? Then Uncle Zhao's duty is already obvious. He must protect Ning Zheng from breaking through the obstruction of this group of people, even if it means paying his life for it.

"Brothers, leave a few who are not afraid of death to block them with me, and the rest immediately take the young lady away, remember, even if you die, you can't let the young lady fall into the hands of the Qu family!" Uncle Zhao suddenly said shouted loudly.

With a strong right hand, he pulled out a shining long spear from the side of the horse's back under him. He pointed the long spear obliquely, and without a moment's pause, he charged towards the group of Qu family members.

Immediately after Uncle Zhao, several other strong members of the Ning family also drew their weapons at the same time, made a bold move, and rushed towards the group of people.

Being selected by Ning Che to guard Ning Zheng, they are naturally not mediocre, and they are not people who are greedy for life and fear of death. Another place that is completely opposite to the location of the Qu family is running away.

When Ning Zheng, who was sitting in the carriage, saw such a scene, she didn't even have time to shout, and she had already moved away from Uncle Zhao and the others.

In her sharp ears, she could only hear the clang of gold and iron and the low growls of the two groups of people.

The whistling wind rang in her ears, and finally covered the bursts of noisy voices, and she could no longer hear any voices related to Uncle Zhao and others.

But the more this happened, the more heartbroken Ning Zheng felt. Facing dozens of people from the Qu family, Uncle Zhao had no advantage at all. Ning Zheng knew what the final result would be without thinking.
