"We are going to run away again."
After his whereabouts were exposed, Gu Xu did not dare to linger in Longzhou City.
He grabbed the snow girl's wrist and used "Qiankun" continuously. After many short-distance teleportations, the two of them arrived outside the city together.
Xue Nu was a little confused at first about Gu Xu’s decisive escape.
Because in her perception, there was no powerful aura in Longzhou City. In other words, no one in the city could beat her.
But Gu Xu quickly told her that the officials in the Da Qi court were very good at convincing people.
The enemy they face next will definitely not be a mere thousand households in Longzhou, but a large group of strong men transferred from various nearby provinces.
Even Princess Zhaoning herself may bring the Grand Master of Qi and several other powerful saints to intercept them personally.
Let’s not talk about whether we can beat him or not.
The aftermath of the battle between the saint-level experts is a terrifying natural disaster for the common people here.
After hearing his words, the snow girl nodded and silently lamented that the young master was thoughtful and thoughtful, which was far beyond what she, who had little social experience, could match.
After leaving Longzhou, Gu Xu’s true energy has basically recovered to its original state, enough to be used to build a space channel.
At this time, they were not far from the western border of Daqi.
It only takes two more space shuttles to get out of the borders of the Daqi Dynasty.
However, just when he took out his "astrolabe" and prepared to tear apart the space, he found that even if he spent all his energy, those spider web-like space cracks could not appear in him as usual. in front of.
"The space is blocked," he frowned and said to the snow girl, "It seems that the court's response is faster than we thought."
"Then what should we do? "Do it." In these days of getting along, Xue Nu has long been accustomed to Gu Xu making decisions.
"We have to rely on flying to escape from here," Gu Xu replied, "If we encounter pursuers, we need to trouble Miss Lu to deal with them."
"I promised, I I will protect you." Snow Girl said in a calm voice.
Gu Xu smiled lightly.
He held the astrolabe in his hand, circulated his true energy, and floated into the air.
However, at this moment, a clear and loud crane chirped in the distance.
Gu Xu turned his head and saw a pure white ice crane spreading its wings, like a white lightning, flying straight towards where the two of them were.
The figure of the snow girl disappeared from the spot, and then appeared on the back of Binghe.
"Master, this is quick."
She flew to Gu Xu's side and pointed at her back expressionlessly.
Gu Xu quickly weighed it in his mind and believed that there was a high probability that there would be a fierce battle. He should save as much of his true energy as he could and there was no need to waste it on flying.
So closeHe raised the astrolabe and sat behind the snow girl.
The snow girl rode the ice crane, soared upwards, and instantly got into the clouds.
"Compared to riding a horse with Zhao Yan, this is more like riding a roller coaster." Gu Xu complained silently.
Binghe’s acceleration was too rapid.
He instinctively stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around Xue Nu's slender waist, and then managed to steady himself.
The snow girl's body is cool and soft, like soft and elastic jade.
The snow girl's thoughts suddenly stopped for a moment.
Although she had no sense of touch, the mere action of Gu Xu holding her gave her a strong mental impact.
No one has hugged her since her mother died when she was young.
The people in Lu's house have always been distant and respectful to her.
After turning into a ghost, no one dared to approach her.
But at this moment, she was tightly next to a young man, her back pressed against his chest. She couldn't feel his body temperature, but she could clearly hear his breathing and heartbeat, and could also imagine the warmth of his embrace.
Her heart has stopped beating for nearly twenty years.
However, at this moment, she had the illusion that her heartbeat was reviving.
Gu Xu’s hand soon let go.
He took out a "Wind Talisman" and attached it to his body so that he could sit firmly on the back of Binghe and not fall off easily.
"I'm sorry, Miss Lu," he said, "I offended you accidentally just now, please forgive me."
His words were as polite and reserved as ever.
But Yuki-onna feels that sometimes his politeness is like a chasm. Even though he is very close, she feels like he is far away and can never be touched.
The closeness brought about by shared senses seems to be just her own illusion.
"It's okay, I don't mind." She said softly.
At the same time.
A few miles away in Fengxiang Mansion, a huge floating airship shuttled rapidly among the clouds.
There are hundreds of practitioners flying with swords around the flying boat.
There were three people standing at the ornate bow of the ship
The graceful Princess Zhaoning, Xiao Wanjun, with red lips and white teeth, and the Imperial Master of Da Qi, who was simply dressed and thin.
There is also a wrinkled old monk wearing a cassock, holding a Zen staff.
Princess Zhaoning is holding a square object made of white jade with a dragon button in her hand, which is the jade seal of the Daqi Dynasty.
This jade seal is carved from the Tai'a Sword, and has the aura of the Tai'a Sword attached to it. At certain times, it can exert part of the power of "the most famous weapon in the world".
Emperor Tianxing allowed Princess Zhaoning to take Yuxi out of the capital, which showed his strong determination to arrest Gu Xu.
“Your Highness, with the help of Da Qi’s Jade Seal, I have completed five missions in Fengxiang, Longzhou, Jingzhou, Weizhou and Qinzhou.A large formation has been set up in the state to block the space," the Grand Master of Qi said, cupping his hands towards Princess Zhaoning, "Even the saints and powerful men are unable to build a space channel here to travel long distances. ”
While speaking, the Imperial Master looked a little tired.
Even with the blessing of the power of the jade seal, maintaining such a huge formation is not an easy task for him.
"Thank you, Imperial Master," Princess Zhaoning said, "Your injuries were not healed last time, so I have to trouble you to take action this time."
“It is my duty to serve Daqi. "The Imperial Master shook his head and interrupted her.
At this time, Princess Zhaoning turned to look at the old monk in cassock: "Master Jueming, this time we must also deal with Xue Nu and Gu Xu. I rely on you a lot. "
"Your Highness, there is no need to worry too much," the old monk said calmly, "The method of Lingshan Temple has a strong restraint effect on evil spirits and ghosts. In the same realm, no ghost can be my opponent.
"There is just one thing that I can't figure out
"Why should the imperial court use this favor on such a trivial matter as arresting fugitives. ”
This old monk is Master Jueming, the abbot of Lingshan Temple, one of the three major sects in Daqi, and he is also a strong saint.
But with the national master, Saints like Luo Chuan who directly serve the imperial court are different.
The leaders of one party, such as Xu Man, the master of Jiange Pavilion, and Master Jueming of Lingshan Temple, have a great degree of freedom in acting. Although he has the title of guest minister, he is not usually dispatched by the court. He usually only helps when the Qi Dynasty is invaded by foreign enemies.
So this time, in order to invite Master Jueming to help capture Gu. Xu, Princess Zhaoning had to use up a favor owed by the imperial court to Lingshan Temple.
“The importance my father attaches to Gu Xu is extraordinary,” Princess Zhaoning responded, “He has been in seclusion for so many years. , the first order he personally issued was to arrest Gu Xu. "
"Oh, that's it," Master Jueming nodded, thoughtfully, "During the Lantern Festival Arena competition, Lao Na's disciple Jingru had a fight with Gu Xu and was defeated. Return. At that time, I felt that Gu Xu was something special.
"Now it seems that he hides more secrets than I imagined.",,
