At the intersection of the mountain road, Cao Xiong held Chen Qingqing and stared at Chen Tingwen and others down the mountain with his own eyes.

At this point, only Cao Xiong, Chen Qingqing and Li Zhi were left in the temple.

Chen Qingqing had stopped crying, and while trying hard to cooperate with Cao Xiong's steps to prevent the dagger from cutting her neck, she quietly waited for the result.

"You can let her go." Li Zhi threw away the umbrella in his hand and was ready to fight Cao Xiong at any time, but his eyes never fell on Chen Qingqing from beginning to end. The so-called noble daughters of famous families were nothing more than pretentiousness. Once the family was defeated, those noble girls had no ability to support themselves except for their delicate skin and flesh, and were not as good as peasant wives.

open?

Cao Xiong sneered and held Chen Qingqing hostage and said, "Don't worry, let's find a good place to compete first."

After saying that, Cao Xiong dragged Chen Qingqing to the east of Koizumi Temple.

Li Zhi smiled and followed the two of them like a walk in the garden.

Not far from the east of Koizumi Temple, there is a pond that was dug up by the monks together, and then brought the live water from the mountain to facilitate the monks to use water every day. I don’t know how many years have been dug in the pond, but over time, it has gradually turned into a lake, with the deepest place being three feet long.

Cao Xiong hid in Koizumi Temple for half a year and was very familiar with the surrounding areas.

The lakeside was near, and Cao Xiong glanced at Li Zhi, who was pressing step by step, suddenly asked the girl in his arms in a low voice: "Can you swim?"

Chen Qingqing's body stiffened and realized what Cao Xiong was going to do. She cried and begged: "I can't, you can let me go..."

Cao Xiong was very satisfied and stopped. He raised his head and asked Li Zhi with a smile: "Just Mr. Shen just entrusted his beloved daughter to the Marquis, and the Marquis also agreed. I think Miss Chen fell into the water. The Marquis will not refuse to save him when he sees him, right?"

As soon as the voice fell, Cao Xiong suddenly threw Chen Qingqing into the lake without waiting for Li Zhi to react!

The sky was spinning, and Chen Qingqing screamed in vain. With the huge sound of water, the cold lake water immediately surged from all directions. Chen Qingqing instinctively waved his arms and slapped the water, and her head was exposed. She saw Cao Xiong running quickly towards the back mountain behind Koizumi Temple. The marquis named Li Zhi actually chased her tightly, without looking at her at all.

"Help!" Chen Qingqing shouted at the figures of the two.

The voice passed, and Cao Xiong certainly ignored it, and Li Zhi felt unheard of it.

Chen Qingqing continued to shout for help.

Cao Xiong heard Li Zhi's footsteps getting closer and closer, and he couldn't help but panic: "Li Zhi, don't you worry about her life or death, aren't you afraid that the Shen family will settle the score with you?"

Li Zhi was as shaped like a wind, but his voice was as steady as a rock: "What does she have to do with me when she died because of you?"

Cao Xiong was unwilling to give in: "But you have already agreed to Lord Shen!"

Li Zhi smiled quietly: "The thief was treacherous and broke the contract and killed Miss Chen. I am not a saint and cannot help me. Lord Shen is reasonable and will never blame me."

Cao Xiong wanted to scold again, but suddenly there was a sharp sound of breaking wind from behind him. The next moment, something penetrated deeply into his heart.

With his feet staggering, Cao Xiong touched his back in disbelief, only touching a knife handle, and the blade had penetrated deep into his heart.

"You, you..." Cao Xiong turned around with difficulty, pointed at the man more than ten steps away and scolded, "You are a trustless villain..."

Li Zhi smiled gently, as if he was reminiscing with his friends: "Everyone is the same."

When Cao Xiong heard this, his blood and blood surged up and he fell straight forward.

Li Zhi looked at it silently, waited for a while, and he slowly stepped forward, and the black boot tip lifted Cao Xiong's chin.

Cao Xiong mechanically turned his face, with blood on the corners of his lips, and he died with his eyes open.

Confirm that the rebel was really dead, Li Zhi took his foot back and stood there for a while before he walked towards the lake slowly.

Bypassing a few old trees, the rippling lake water came into view, Li Zhi had no expression until the entire lake was present in his eyes, until he saw a pink skirt in Hubei swimming eastward with his back to him. The woman's long skirt floated on the water, like a pink lotus swimming in the wind.

Li Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly. He heard Chen Qingqing tell Cao Xiong that she doesn't know how to water, but it turns out that he is actually lying?

In such a short time, you can think of a way to survive, and it is seamless to cover it up...

Li Zhi smiled and took out the arrow from his sleeve to report the news.

Chen Qingqing was swimming hard. She had already swam to the north shore just now, but the north shore was too high and the soil in the water was too slippery. Chen Qingqing couldn't climb up anyway. In desperation, she had to find another shallow place. Suddenly, a "whoosh" sound came from behind her. Chen Qingqing was startled and turned around and saw Li Zhi standing on the shore, looking at her from a distance.

Chen Qingqing secretly curled her lips. This Pingxi Hou, who seemed to be a fairy gentleman, was actually very cold-blooded. He promised to save her in front of his father. As soon as his father left, he would only arrest the rebels regardless of her life or death. If she hadn't learned to swim in water when she was young, she would have drowned at this time.

The aunt was the queen in the palace, and Li Zhi's sister was the concubine in the palace. The relationship between the two families would never be too harmonious. If Li Zhi had seen him die and refused to save him at the beginning, Chen Qingqing would not blame him too much. After all, he didn't owe her anything, but Li Zhi had one in person and another behind his back, which was really hypocritical.

Turning his head, Chen Qingqing continued to travel east.

The north bank is high and the east bank is low. Li Zhi can understand Chen Qingqing's intention after a little observation.

He walked around the east coast in advance and reached out to Chen Qingqing with a gentle smile: "I'll help the girl."

Chen Qingqing didn't need it, so she turned her head and swam somewhere else.

The little girl was soaked all over. Under her long black hair was a beautiful white face, with black eyebrows as black as black and red lips as red as red. Beauty was beautiful, but what surprised Li Zhi the most was the short glance with anger and disdain before she turned around, as if a string of raindrops gently slid across her heart, causing an unstoppable itch.

Angry?

Li Zhi smiled, and the next moment, he jumped straight into the water and headed straight to Chen Qingqing in front of him like a dragon.

Chen Qingqing was stunned. When she realized that Li Zhi's target was her, she was both confused and scared, so she quickly moved on. But in terms of physical strength, how could a 14-year-old lady be as good as Li Zhi as a military general? Seeing that Chen Qingqing was about to reach the shore, her waist suddenly tightened, and Chen Qingqing was struggling, but she was still hugged in her arms.

"Let go!" Chen Qingqing beat the man's hand hard.

Li Zhi hugged her and traveled northward, explaining caringly: "I will save you to the shore."

Does she need to be rescued?

Chen Qingqing was so angry: "I can swim by myself!"

Li Zhi lowered his head and happened to meet Chen Qingqing's plump almond eyes, which were clearer than the lake water.

His eyes stopped for a moment on the little girl Yinghong's lips, and Li Zhi said warmly: "I cannot speak without trust. The emperor is in charge of the emperor, and it is only a matter of love to chase the thief and abandon the girl. Now that the thief has been destroyed, I will naturally save you."

Without trust?

Chen Qingqing suddenly understood that Li Zhi wanted to show his father that he wanted to show his father, and it was indeed hypocritical!

"Do you think our Shen family will miss your kindness?" Chen Qingqing asked sarcastically. She is not a fool. When she sees her father in a while, she will definitely tell the truth and let her father know Li Zhi's true character.

Li Zhi smiled lightly: "I am not the one who can repay kindness."

He was clearly mocking him that he could laugh so hypocritically, Chen Qingqing became more and more disgusting and too lazy to talk nonsense, so she continued to pull Li Zhi's hand. The little girl moved around, as if a pink carp that had become a sperm was slippery. Li Zhi had to increase his strength and tightly sandwich Chen Qingqing between his waist and his arms.

"Let me go!" Chen Qingqing couldn't struggle, so she simply turned around and reached out to slap Li Zhi in the face.

Li Zhi was unprepared and was defeated by her.

He stopped, looked down at Chen Qingqing, his eyes cold.

Since Li Zhi got into the water, he has always been smiling. At this moment, he changed his face instantly and suddenly changed from a jade-faced banished immortal to a living king of hell. Chen Qingqing's whole body became cold, and she forgot to react and looked at him dumbly. The rain was still falling, and the water droplets fell on her blowing cheeks and dripped on her plump lips.

His eyes slowly moved down, and Li Zhi stared at Chen Qingqing's lips without any concealment.

Chen Qingqing was even more afraid, so afraid that she would not dare to move, for fear that Li Zhi would do something once he moved.

"You are good-looking." Li Zhi suddenly spoke with a frivolous voice.

Chen Qingqing was both afraid and angry: "You..."

Li Zhi smiled and looked at her almond eyes and said, "So, I won't bother you this time."

Chen Qingqing pursed her lips tightly.

"Honestly don't move, I will let you go when I get on the shore." Li Zhi ordered lightly.

Chen Qingqing now just wanted to restore her freedom as soon as possible, so she accused her and obediently allowed Li Zhi to drag her to the north shore.

Before going ashore, Li Zhi moved Chen Qingqing to his front, and then grabbed Chen Qingqing's legs with both hands to help her get ashore.

The lake water was very cold, but the man's palms were hot, and he was tightly pressed against her through the thin summer skirt. Chen Qingqing was so awkward. In order to get rid of this feeling soon, she did not struggle anymore. She pressed her hands against the lake shore and used all her strength to climb up. But just as she was about to lift her left leg, there was a big hand on the base of her left leg, and she firmly pushed her to the shore, unable to move.

"You're a bastard!"

Chen Qingqing cursed with such a humiliating posture.

The little girl lay on top of his head, her soaked dress completely attached to her body, outlining a beautiful peach shape. Peach twisted and twisted. Li Zhi admired her calmly, while discussing with a smile: "Miss Chen, I, Li, love my fame the most. I met Ling Zun later. Can you tell Ling Zun, just say that I will save you first and then chase the thief?"

Chen Qingqing was almost angry, how could she agree?

"You're dreaming!" She cursed loudly, and her slender and white fingers grabbed deep into the soil on the shore.

"I really don't agree?" Li Zhi asked with a smile, and the big hand placed between Shen Qingqing's waist slowly moved down.

Chen Qingqing took a breath of air, and then compromised in time before Li Zhi's hand touched the forbidden land, gritting his teeth: "Okay, I promise you!"

Li Zhi stopped and pushed his hand up, and Chen Qingqing was pushed to the shore by him.

As soon as he got ashore, Chen Qingqing ran forward without looking back.

Li Zhiren was in the water and asked her with a smile: "Miss Chen, have you lost something?"

When Chen Qingqing heard this, she subconsciously stopped and looked down. She found that only wet socks left on her left foot and her embroidered shoes were gone!

She stared at her eyes and turned around. If her eyes could kill someone, Li Zhi had died thousands of times!

Li Zhi jumped ashore and moved neatly. He stood firm. He ignored Chen Qingqing's angry eyes and smiled and waved the exquisite embroidered shoes in his hand: "If you report to Lingzun as agreed, I will thank me in the future. Then I will find another opportunity to return the things to you, otherwise..."

Deliberately stretching his voice, Li Zhi hid the embroidered shoes in his arms, while saying to Chen Qingqing meaningfully: "Otherwise, these shoes will be the token of love you gave me."

Chen Qingqing:...

How could there be such shameless people in this world?

"Give me back!"

Without any other thoughts, Chen Qingqing ran towards Li Zhi with red eyes, wanting to grab his embroidered shoes.

Li Zhi smiled and pointed to the back mountain and said, "It is important to catch the rebels, I will not be with you."

After saying that, the man ran away like a wind.

Chen Qingqing chased her unwillingly. Before she could run away, someone behind her shouted her name. Chen Qingqing didn't have to look back and knew who that person was.

"elder brother!"
