The Doctor's Concubine: Don't mess with the evil princess

Chapter 136 I will protect you from now on

As the battle continued, the men in black gradually found that they could not gain any advantage against the combined efforts of Mu Lanfeng and Li Zeqi.

One of the men in black, who seemed to be the leader, frowned, with a hint of unwillingness in his eyes.

While fending off Mu Lanfeng's fierce whip attack, he observed the situation and saw that his companions were all injured to varying degrees, while Mu Lanfeng and Li Zeqi fought more and more courageously, without any signs of fatigue.

The leading man in black gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind. He swung his sword fiercely, forcing Mu Lanfeng and Li Zeqi to retreat, and then shouted loudly: "Retreat!" His voice was full of helplessness and anger.

When the other men in black heard the order, they quickly withdrew.

Their movements were in unison, like a well-trained army. During the retreat, they did not forget to keep a vigilant eye on Mu Lanfeng and Li Zeqi to prevent them from chasing them.

Soon, the man in black disappeared into the night.

Only Mu Lanfeng and Li Zeqi were left on the battlefield, and the battlefield was in a mess. Mu Lanfeng was breathing heavily, still holding the long whip tightly in his hand, and looking vigilantly in the direction where the man in black disappeared.

After the men in black retreated, the tense atmosphere dissipated instantly.

The two people's tense nerves relaxed at once, and the feeling of fatigue surged into their hearts like a tide.

The red whip in Mu Lanfeng's hand slowly dropped down, his legs softened, unable to support the weight of his body anymore, and he slowly collapsed to the ground.

He was breathing heavily, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his hair was sticking to his cheeks in a messy manner.

Li Zeqi was equally exhausted. He staggered a few steps and sat down next to Mu Lanfeng.

His clothes were a little torn and there were several wounds on his body that were aching slightly. At this moment, he no longer had the majesty and coldness of the past, but instead had a face full of fatigue.

The two sat quietly, no one spoke.

Only the sound of heavy breathing echoed in the air.

Having just experienced a thrilling battle, the tranquility at this moment seems particularly precious.

After a long while, Mu Lanfeng raised his head slightly and looked at Li Zeqi, his eyes full of concern, "You really came here!"

Li Zeqi was puzzled, "How did you know that I was here?"

Mu Lanfeng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a playful smile, "I was just guessing! I was muttering in my heart before, it's so cold, only someone with a brain stuck in the door would come here. I didn't expect that I was right!"

Li Zeqi was slightly startled, and a hint of surprise flashed in his inky eyes. He raised his eyes slightly and his gaze fell on Mu Lanfeng's face with a playful smile. That smile was like a flower blooming in spring, brilliant and bright.

The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a helpless smile, and he chuckled: "You girl, your mouth is really unforgiving. You are the first person who dares to say that my brain is stuck in the door."

As he spoke, he shook his head gently, but there was no blame in his eyes, instead, there was a hint of doting.

Mu Lanfeng looked at Li Zeqi, a cunning light flashing in his smart eyes.

She tilted her head slightly, and the smile on her face became even brighter. "Who would have thought that you would come here on such a cold day? I just said it casually, don't take it to heart. And! How would I know you could come here? It was that idiot Qin Qianyou who told me!"

After saying this, she winked mischievously.

Li Zeqi raised his eyebrows slightly, "He dared to say that, and you dared to say that to him, running to this remote place? Aren't you afraid of encountering danger?"

Mu Lanfeng shrugged, "What are you afraid of? I just wanted to try my luck, but I didn't expect you to be here! Besides, you have to thank him. If he hadn't told me that you were here, you would be the one in danger now!"

Li Zeqi raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a doting smile, "You are always so bold. However, I really have to thank that kid, otherwise I really don't know how to escape today."

Mu Lanfeng raised her chin proudly, "That's right, I've always had good luck." Then she changed the subject and continued, "But then again, why are you here alone? Why are you always surrounded by men in black? Are these people the same group as the men in black who rescued you the first time?"

Li Zeqi nodded slightly, and a hint of solemnity flashed in his deep eyes.

He pursed his lips and said slowly: "Yes, they should be the same group of people!"

Mu Lanfeng frowned slightly, and worry spread in her eyes like clouds. She bit her lower lip lightly and asked, "Who are these people? Why do they keep pestering you?"

Li Zeqi sighed lightly, shook his head slightly, and said, "It's not clear yet, but they are clearly well prepared, and their purpose is definitely not simple. Judging from their actions and skills, there must be someone behind them manipulating them."

Mu Lanfeng held Li Zeqi's hands tightly. His hands were warm and powerful. His eyes were firm and he said in a sonorous voice, "No matter who they are, I am here. I will protect you from now on!"

"Okay! I will be counting on you to protect me from now on. Lan Feng, you must remember that no matter when or where, you must never abandon me."

When Mu Lanfeng heard this, his heart suddenly felt as sweet as honey, but he still refused to give in. "Humph, I know! But you have to be obedient, otherwise I really won't care about you."

Li Zeqi gazed at her lovingly and said gently, "Okay, I will listen to you in everything! As long as you are by my side, I will feel very safe."

He gently held Mu Lanfeng's hand and continued affectionately: "In the days to come, no matter how fierce the wind and rain are, this king is willing to walk hand in hand with you and move forward together."

Mu Lanfeng's cheeks flushed, and she lowered her head slightly, her voice as soft as a mosquito's, "Who wants to go hand in hand with you... But if you perform well, I may consider it."

Li Zeqi raised the corners of his mouth, outlining a charming arc, his eyes full of tenderness and sweetness, "Then this king will do his best to perform well!"

After a short rest, the fatigue they felt gradually dissipated.

Mu Lanfeng stood up, straightened his messy clothes and hair, and said seriously: "The Xilin spies have entered the capital. The one who assassinated Prince Tianluo must be the Xilin spies!"

Li Zeqi also stood up, gently brushed off the dust on his body, and his eyes regained their former calm and sharpness.

He looked at Mu Lanfeng, nodded slightly and asked, "Xilin and Longyuan have been trading with each other for many years, so it is inevitable that there are people disguised as merchants mixed in the caravan. But how can you be sure that the assassination of Prince Tianluo was done by Xilin spies?"

Mu Lanfeng took out the token engraved with the word "Eagle" and a topographic map of Liuyue City from his sleeve and handed them to Li Zeqi.

"This was found on the spy! The assassin who assassinated Prince Tianluo had an insider in Ruiyun Palace. The assassin's token should have been hidden by the insider!"

As she spoke, she took out an identical topographic map from her sleeve and handed it to Li Zeqi.

"The accomplice must have been afraid of being discovered, so he only took the token in a panic, and the topographic map was still left on the killer!" Mu Lanfeng analyzed.

"What on earth do these Xilin people want to do?" Li Zeqi was a little angry.
