When Mu Ning heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned. She subconsciously asked, "Then, where is the prince? Where is the prince?"

"Prince, he..." Luo Si suddenly raised his head, and at this moment, a look of extreme despair suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Mu Ning's heart suddenly sank, the blood on her lips faded in an instant, and her legs were almost unsteady.

She stared hard into Luo Si's eyes, her beautiful black eyes filled with blood red, and her jade-like fingers clenched tightly at her sides.

It seemed that as long as he dared to say bad words, she would immediately rush to tear his mouth open.

"Princess, the prince is already halfway there. If the princess doesn't stop him, it might be too late!" Luo Si didn't dare to look into Mu Ning's eyes.

He just lowered his head. After saying this, he fell to the ground and kowtowed three times.

Immediately, Luo Si got up and left.

Mu Ning also reacted at this moment. Without hesitation, she quickly called the Qinglong Guards sent by Rong Chu to protect her.

"Prepare your horses! Go to Tiancha Peak!" Mu Ning shouted almost at the top of her lungs.

When Luo Si came over just now, Qinglong, the leader of the Qinglong Guards, saw him kneeling down for no reason, so he paid attention and did not go far.

Therefore, Qinglong also heard what Luo Si just said.

Without waiting for Mu Ning's instructions, Qinglong had already ordered his men to bring in the horses.

Mu Ning's mind was in chaos. She couldn't think of anything at all. What Luo Si had just said kept echoing in her mind.

He said that the old emperor colluded with Qin Aotian to set up an ambush at Tianqian Peak and bury gunpowder!

He also said that Rong Chu was on his way to Tianqian Peak!

Mu Ning no longer had the time to think about why Luo Si knew this, and why he said he deserved death.

At this moment, Mu Ning had only one thought in her mind, and that was to prevent Rong Chu from going to Tiancha Peak!

Mu Ning mechanically got on her horse and whipped up her horse whip. Except for the two Azure Dragon Guards who were left to guard, the other dozen or so Green Dragon Guards followed Mu Ning and rushed to the Tiancha Peak.

At that time, it was noon, smoke was rising in the military camp, and the soldiers were waiting for lunch.

When this team rushed out of the military camp, everyone was shocked by the rapid sound of horse hooves. Many people even thought it was an enemy army attacking the camp.

No one could care about eating at that moment, they all immediately picked up their weapons and rushed out.

However, the sound of horse hooves had faded away, leaving only smoke and dust billowing in the sky.

Everyone was in a panic, except for the soldiers on duty who were quite calm.

"What? Are they the Qinglong Guards of His Royal Highness Prince Gong?" When the general who stayed behind heard the soldier's report, he was so shocked that he stood up suddenly.

He is from Rong Chu, so he naturally knows the responsibilities of the Qinglong Guard. If he doesn't get the order from Prince Gong, he will only be dispatched if there is an emergency.

But Prince Gong had gone out early this morning, and the team of Qinglong Guards had always been guarding outside the main tent.

Although His Royal Highness Prince Gong never let anyone enter his main tent, he never told others about his affairs.

But most of the higher-ups in the military could guess that the identity of the young man named the follower in Prince Gong's tent was actually not simple.

Otherwise, how could His Highness Prince Gong hide him so secretly, and even let the Qinglong Guard, who was even more powerful than the Black Wind Cavalry, protect him?

So at this moment, when the general saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel horrified.

Mu Ning didn't know where Tiancha Peak was, and she didn't know which way Rong Chu would take. At this time, she only had one thought in her mind, and that was to get there as soon as possible. Nothing would happen to Rong Chu!

Maybe God was really helping her. Mu Ning ran all the way and actually found Tiancha Peak.

But when Mu Ning looked up, she found that although the peak was not very high, it was full of rocks.

Mu Ning's heart suddenly jumped hard, and the words the great elder said when they parted suddenly broke into her mind.

The great elder said that she should not go to places with many rocks...

Mu Ning suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

However, at this moment, time did not allow her to think too much, because she discovered that there was more than one way up the mountain.

"Princess, there is someone there!" Qingfeng's sharp eyes spotted a figure moving halfway up the mountain.

"Let's go!" Mu Ning didn't think much, she raised her whip and rushed towards the mountain.

However, the mountain road was rugged, steep, and full of rocks, making it impossible for the horse to walk steadily.

Mu Ning immediately abandoned her horse. She was wearing men's clothing and moved very quickly.

Although the mountain road was difficult to walk, Mu Ning seemed not to feel the pain under her feet at all.

Those Qinglong Guards all have extremely high martial arts skills, but even so, they feel that their speed cannot even match that of a woman.

I don’t know how long it took, but when Mu Ning finally saw people moving in front of her, someone also spotted her over there.

"Princess? Why are you here?" The person who came over was Eunuch Pu. When he saw Mu Ning appearing here with a pale face and sweating profusely, he couldn't help but trot over in surprise.

"Where is the prince? Where is the prince?" Mu Ning had no time to explain to Eunuch Pu, she was almost screaming.

"Your Majesty has gone to Tianqian Peak!" Although Eunuch Pu didn't know what happened, he could already guess from Mu Ning's face that something bad must have happened.

"What's going on?" Eunuch Pu immediately turned to ask Qingfeng.

"Luo Si came to report that the emperor colluded with Qin Aotian and buried explosives on the top of Tiancha Peak!" Qingfeng didn't have time to explain.

Because he saw that Mu Ning was already desperately climbing towards the top of the mountain the moment Eunuch Pu's voice fell.

Qingfeng immediately chased after him.

Eunuch Pu immediately turned pale with fright. He quickly turned around and gave an order, and quickly followed him towards the top of the mountain.

As he hurried on, Eunuch Pu felt very upset in his heart. He should have guessed that Qin Aotian had no intention of asking the prince to meet him!

Otherwise, you won’t be able to see it anywhere, but you have to choose this inaccessible place!

However, the prince had no reason to refuse Qin Aotian, so he had to accept this appointment.

Unexpectedly, Qin Aotian was so cruel that he actually wanted to kill the prince!

No! No! Nothing can happen to the prince!

Otherwise, he has really failed the late emperor's trust and will die one day. How can he have the face to see the late emperor?

Everyone here is anxious, fearing that they will be too late.

At the same time, the top of Tianqian Peak.

Behind Rong Chu, only Ye Bing stood. Across a cliff from him, there were Qin Aotian and Chengtianmen master Jiaifeng.

The weather today has been gloomy since morning, with dark clouds billowing in the sky, and thunder can be heard from time to time.

Rong Chu quietly looked at the thin face of Qin Aotian, who was only a few feet away from him, and said, "Didn't my adoptive father invite me here to tell me my true identity?"

"Adopted father? So the noble Prince Gong also knows that I am your adopted father?" Qin Aotian did not answer Rong Chu's question, but sneered and made sarcastic remarks.

"A foster father will always be a foster father, but in his heart, has there ever been a place for me?" Rong Chu didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in Qin Aotian's words. He curled his lips, his tone full of helpless sadness.

"Stop talking nonsense, I know that the Cloud Atlas is in your hands. As long as you hand over the Cloud Atlas, I can forgive your disrespect!" Qin Aotian seemed to have no patience to talk to Rong Chu. He went straight to the point and asked for the Cloud Atlas.

Rong Chu looked at Qin Aotian's blood-red eyes, and the coldness in his heart suddenly flowed like a glacier.

Even though he was reluctant, Rong Chu had to admit that Mu Ning was right.

Qin Aotian never had any father-son affection towards him, but only used and humiliated him.

Yes, his adoptive father once told him bluntly that his life experience was dirty and that he was a bad omen.

On the day he was born, his mother died and the country was destroyed!

So he shouldn't have come to this world at all!

He was the only one who would wishfully ignore the cold look in his adoptive father's eyes when he looked at him. He persistently only remembered the scene when his adoptive father held the young man and ran wildly when he was seriously injured.

Because he has only had his adoptive father by his side since he could remember, maybe he is really like those cubs who regard the first person he sees when he opens his eyes as his closest relative.

However, by now, Rong Chu has clearly realized that he and his adoptive father have long been on the same level and they are enemies.

And Qin Aotian has already gone crazy!

He was too obsessed with restoring the old country, but he did not understand that the external factors were partly responsible for the demise of the old country, but the more important reason was that the dynasty had long been decayed.

That’s why it’s so easy to be destroyed from the inside out.

And his mother...

Rong Chu suddenly closed his eyes tightly.

He has been without his mother since the moment he was born. He never knew what his mother looked like. He only heard Granny Yan say that he and his mother looked similar.

Granny Yan also told him that his mother was once engaged to Qin Aotian. At that time, Princess Min was the most beautiful woman in the world, and Qin Aotian was also a young general, and he was very proud of himself.

I don’t know how many people in the world were envious of that marriage.

But unexpectedly, the noble Princess Min suddenly became pregnant. She felt that she had no face to see Qin Aotian again, and she proposed to regret her marriage.

Before Qin Aotian could say anything, the war suddenly broke out, and soon he was sent to the battlefield.

Then, when we met again, it was the day when the army led by the late Emperor Daqian was in full swing.
