Chapter 218 Chase
Fortunately, Lu Xuan had a petite figure, and the servant's clothes she wore today were quite similar in color to the trunk of the osmanthus tree, so no one could discover her at first glance.
But at this distance and speed, seeing her would only take a blink of an eye.
Jiang Yuanfeng sensed it.
There is the aura of a master who understands the mystical law here!
He would never make a mistake in admitting the extremely powerful Xuanmen power that suddenly erupted at the moment the boulder shattered!
He had to cast a spell, and it had to be a spell on the Purple Qi Dragon and Tiger Formation he had set up. It couldn't be done from a distance, and it would cause loss of life.
This must be done within ten steps!
Therefore, the person who broke his formation must be nearby.
He took another step forward, his whole body focused, with a hidden excitement in his eyes.
That person, I think, is his young sect leader!
Lu Xuan's hands gripped the trunk of the osmanthus tree tightly. Because she was too nervous and it was midsummer, her body felt as if it was being gnawed by ten thousand ants. Her throat was dry as if it was on fire, and everything around her seemed unreal.
At this moment, suddenly, another voice came.
"Master, Master..." Ji An, the new chief steward of the Ji Mansion, ran in from the outer courtyard.
"Why are you so scared?" Ji Xiangli asked unhappily.
Subconsciously, Jiang Yuanfeng also looked over there.
Ji An panted, "Your Majesty, the Emperor is here with the Queen and the Third Prince. They want to see you and Lord Jiang!"
When Jiang Yuanfeng heard this, his heart sank and he subconsciously looked back at the osmanthus tree.
He hesitated for a moment, and finally said to Ji Xiangli: "Today is the day of mourning at the residence of Ji Guozhang. Please go and greet the emperor first. I will come later!"
As he spoke, he was about to take another step towards the osmanthus tree.
Lu Xuan's palms were covered in cold sweat, and his heart felt like it was being struck by thunder.
Looking at Jiang Yuanfeng's feet right in front of her, she swallowed hard.
He only had to look up and he could see her in an instant.
Lu Xuan was about to turn his head to cover it, but at this moment, Ji Xiangli's voice came from under the tree.
"Master Jiang, it's only been a short time, and you've forgotten our oath? Even the Emperor wants to see you, and you still have to put on such a show?"
He pulled Jiang Yuanfeng over irritably, the sarcasm in his tone undisguised.
Jiang Yuanfeng is showing off his power and is even arguing with him. This is really too much!
Having said that, he started to drag her out.
The Ji family's formation has been broken. If someone says something disrespectful to the emperor at this critical moment, he doesn't know what kind of trouble will arise.
He doesn't want to deal with that shit anymore!
Seeing Ji Xiangli pulling Jiang Yuanfeng out, Lu Xuan took the opportunity and quickly jumped down from the tree.
Taking advantage of the cover of branches and leaves, she hurriedly bent down and ran towards another path.
Jiang Yuanfeng was pulled by Ji Xiangli and walked a few steps quickly. He became furious and shook off his hand.
"Ji Xiangli, you old bastard, let go!"
He was a little furious: "Right now, the person who really harmed your Ji family is in this mansion, hiding in this garden. You just came to me to ask for a solution, and now you want to leave. How can you be so shameless now, old man? If I leave now, you will be letting the tiger go back to the mountain!"
Ji Xiangli was stunned.
After she stopped, she looked back and glanced at him again, a little suspicious: "Is there really someone there?"
Then, as if to confirm again: "Did you see it?"
Jiang Yuanfeng glanced at him, flicked his sleeves fiercely, and then turned back and walked towards the backyard garden.
Ji Xiangli looked at Jiang Yuanfeng's figure walking away, snorted coldly, and shouted, "Even if you are right, I will go to greet the emperor first. If Lord Jiang doesn't find anyone later, I will not be polite to you!"
Jiang Yuanfeng's words were somewhat credible, but he was still unsure.
Over the years, he knew that this man was jealous of the Ji family's glory and had probably wanted to secretly attack him for a long time.
Therefore, whether the Ji family's actions today were his doing or not is another matter!
It would be fine if he really found the person, but if he didn’t, he is not that easy to fool!
Jiang Yuanfeng ignored Ji Xiangli's shouting.
He walked anxiously to the osmanthus tree where Lu Xuan had been before, and suddenly looked up, but there was no one there.
He was stunned.
His expression suddenly became solemn.
I must have been wrong before, there must be someone standing here.
As he thought about it, he began to carefully observe the osmanthus tree and everything around it.
The ground was clean, and the flowers and plants showed no signs of being damaged by the hasty escape...
Just when he was about to doubt whether his previous feeling was wrong, his pupils suddenly sank.
There are two wet handprints on the osmanthus tree!
Sure enough, there is someone!
The handprint must have been left by someone here with sweaty palms due to nervousness.
And that hand was tightly gripping the branch, so it left a mark.
Because the weather was hot, after a while, the wet mark of the handprint was baked by the air and soon became much lighter.
He looked at the handprint carefully again and made some rough gestures.
It's so small, it must be a woman's handprint!
There must have been a woman hiding here just now, and that person was Lu Xuan!
As he thought about it, a faint light flickered in his eyes and he immediately chased into the garden.
This garden was in the inner courtyard. Relying on his memories from his previous life, Lu Xuan quickly found a path among the flowers and trees and ran out quickly.
She remembered that there was a big crabapple tree in Ji Cheng's yard. The tree was connected to a bluestone wall. As long as she climbed over the wall, she would reach the wing room in the outer courtyard. Once there, she could walk along a small path and should be able to go out and meet Jiang Xing.
Her feet moved quickly, and soon she saw the tree in her memory, but at the same time, she heard footsteps chasing her hurriedly from behind.
Lu Xuan's heart sank.
He actually caught up with me!
She quickly glanced at the shadow in the distance behind her, grabbed it with her arm, and climbed up hurriedly.
Although she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart again, she automatically concealed the pain at the critical moment.
However, she still felt a little annoyed with her body.
Why is it that she is a young lady from a secluded place and is not good at climbing trees and walls?
Jiang Yuanfeng walked around the nursery garden and looked up to see a young man anxiously climbing up a tree, but he couldn't climb any faster.
The corners of his mouth curled up sinisterly, and he became more certain in his heart that this person was Lu Xuan!
Lu Xuan finally climbed up the tree. As soon as he stepped on the bluestone wall, he felt a sharp breath rushing towards him from under the tree.
That person wanted to drag her down!
Her heart trembled, and in a flash, she quickly stepped on the bluestone wall and jumped.
"Boom!"
Lu Xuan stood on the wall and jumped down.
The bluestone wall is not low, at least more than ten feet high.
She fell heavily outside the compartment, and her knees felt a sudden pain.
But before she could get up from the ground, she saw through the shadow on the ground that the person behind her had also climbed up the wall and was about to jump down to her position.
Lu Xuan's heart suddenly hung in the air again.
Because of this jump from the high wall, there was a large bruise on his foot.
She felt a slight pain coming from her ankle and knew that she had sprained it.
If the person behind her jumped down, she would definitely not be able to run fast and would soon be caught up by him!
Thinking of this, she suddenly had an idea.
What about Flying Star?
Wasn't he protecting himself secretly this time?
This time at Ji's Mansion, they knew that Qing Yuan and Qing Dai would definitely not be able to get in, so Jiang Xing specially brought the most capable Fei Xing to protect them secretly.
Why didn't he save her?
Logically speaking, he wouldn't ignore her.
Could it be that something happened to him too? !
At this time, Feixing did see her figure on the roof of the Ji family's backyard.
However, he was entangled by Jiang Yuanfeng's two subordinates, Yingzi and Wubai!
Feixing just hated why Xuan Ge ran back to Longchuan at this critical moment.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be isolated and helpless, completely unable to split himself up to go and take the princess away!
The golden crow heads westward, and the setting sun shines down.
The man following Lu Xuan was cast a huge shadow by the sun, and was passing through the stone wall behind him, pressing towards her with great oppression.
Her legs felt weak, her throat was dry, and her heart was in her throat.
Suddenly, a voice came from the other side of the wall.
