Chapter 922: Golden Jade Words
The black-clothed masked man chuckled lightly and said jokingly, "Isn't Princess Wanxin quite bold?
Lin Wan raised his sleeves, covered his mouth and nose, quietly ripped open the sachet in his sleeve, took a deep breath, and suddenly felt much better.
Ning Wuwu looked at Lin Wan with concern and asked in a low voice, "Wan'er, are you okay?"
Lin Wan had eased up at this moment, shook his head slightly, and said, "It's okay." After speaking, he turned his head and frowned at the black-clothed masked man, and asked coldly: "Is this princess bold, how does Your Excellency know?"
The black-clothed masked man smiled contemptuously and asked, "Princess Wanxin dares to go to this cliff mountain to hunt for treasures, and dares to negotiate terms with this son, isn't it too bold?" After a pause, he said: "However, this son still advises you not to go down, otherwise I am afraid that I will cry my nose in fear and have nightmares every night." ”
Lin Wanyan smiled, nodded, and said, "Thank you for the son's kind words, this princess is not a fierce person, since the prince persuaded me not to go down, I won't go down." It's just that I wonder if Childe can satisfy my curiosity and tell us what's down here?"
The black-clothed masked man glanced at Lin Wan with a disdainful gaze, then looked at Lin Ruichen, and said mockingly: "General Lin doesn't want to go down and have a look, to prove that you are a worthy number one warrior?"
Lin Ruichen looked at the secret path with some hesitation, frowned, and did not answer.
Ximen Yuqing's eyes were cold, and he gestured the short sword in his hand on the face of the black-clothed masked man, and said in a deep voice: "If you don't want me to cut two slashes on your face, you can answer Princess Wanxin's question honestly for me." ”
The black-clothed masked man's head immediately tilted back, his eyes were full of fear, and he said in a trembling voice: "You, don't mess around, if you really hurt my face, I will turn you into a hornet's nest." There are traps everywhere, and you can't get out of this forest without me. ”
Lin Ruichen thought about it, and suddenly said, "I'll go down and take a look, you guys are waiting for me here." ”
Lin Wan hurriedly grabbed him and said hurriedly: "Brother, don't go down." Whatever lies underneath, it's not worth your risk. ”
Lin Ruichen hesitated a little, looked at Lin Wan and asked in a low voice, "Don't you want to know what the emperor wants? Moreover, if I win, I can take over the camp in the southern suburbs." ”
Lin Wan shook his head and said, "I don't want to know, what the emperor wants is definitely not just one or two things on this mountain." We don't have to fight hard to become the first warrior and take over the camp in the southern suburbs. Brother, the camp in the southern suburbs will be yours sooner or later, don't be in a hurry. After a pause, he said: "What's more, we won't necessarily lose, I believe that General Liu must have suffered the same resistance, if he can't get what the emperor wants, we won't lose." ”
Lin Ruichen looked at Lin Wan puzzled, but Lin Wan didn't explain to him, but turned his head to look at the black-clothed masked man who had been quietly watching the excitement, and said word by word: "We don't know what the emperor wants, but you know, if you can't give us what the emperor wants, I won't force it, but you have to give us something that can be handed over." ”
The black-clothed masked man listened to Lin Wan's words, frowned and pondered for a moment, raised his eyes to look at Lin Wan, chuckled, and asked, "But, why should I help you?"
Lin Wan smiled slightly and said, "Because you don't want General Liu to get the title of the first warrior, so that you can justifiably transfer back to the capital and take charge of the Yulin Army and the capital." ”
The black-clothed masked man was shocked in his heart, glared at Lin Wan, and asked coldly, "How did you know about this?"
Lin Wan smiled but did not answer, and looked at the masked man in black lightly. Of course she wouldn't say it, because she remembered that in the script of her previous life, Liu Shikui had been in charge of the Yulin Army and all the military power in the capital. Liu Shikui not only won the trust of Zhou Changan, but later Zhou Tianhong also reused Liu Shikui. If the Liu family had not contained the Lu family, the Zhou dynasty might have been completely controlled by the Lu family long ago.
The black-clothed masked man looked at Lin Wan for a long time, and finally nodded, and said, "Okay, I'm willing to cooperate with you, but you can't spread a word about everything that happens here." ”
"Of course, we won't say it, and besides, it won't do us any good if we do. Lin Wan agreed with a cheerful smile.
The black-clothed masked man seemed to believe Lin Wan very much, nodded, took out a jade flute from his sleeve, gently put it to his lips, and blew a few simple notes.
After a while, a thin woman in black walked out of the dark passage, the woman in black was not masked, and her skin was very white, but it was the kind of unhealthy white that had not seen the sun for many years, and there was no luster. The eyes were large, but they had no look, and it seemed that they were very frightened when they suddenly saw so many outsiders.
The woman in black stood quietly in front of the masked man in black, did not speak, and respectfully waited for his command.
The masked man in black commanded in a low voice, "Aya, go and bring the little one out." ”
The woman in black was stunned, her eyes were full of horror, she shook her head again and again, opened her mouth, but did not make a sound.
The masked man in black looked at him sharply and shouted, "Go quickly, do as I say!"
The woman in black glanced at everyone helplessly, turned around and walked down the secret passage, and the door of the secret passage was automatically closed. After the stone door was closed, it was tightly sealed, and it was impossible to see any secret passages from the outside, and there was no difference from the surrounding scenery.
Lin Wan secretly guessed, he said to take it out, could it be the cub of some animal? The woman in black didn't want to take it out, was she reluctant? The woman in black didn't speak from beginning to end, was she dumb?
Everyone stood quietly, and the atmosphere was a little delicate. Suddenly there was the sound of a fight outside, and Feng Zhigang and Gale hurriedly went out to look.
After a while, the outside gradually quieted down, and the gale soon came back, and whispered to Lin Wan: "Miss, it's the Lord of Mu County and the Sixth Prince, who are worried about your safety, and take advantage of the unpreparedness of those black-clothed people to join forces with the Yulin Army and the brothers in the southern suburbs camp who stayed outside, and they have made a gap and rushed out of the encirclement. The subordinates told the sixth prince and the lord of Mu County about the situation here, and they were waiting outside at the moment. Vice General Feng took the Yulin Army and the brothers of the southern suburbs battalion and retreated to a safe place first. ”
Lin Wan nodded slightly and asked worriedly, "Is anyone hurt?"
Gale hesitated a little, nodded, and said, "Qingtong was hit by an arrow in his arm, and the injury was not serious, but the arrow was poisonous." However, Qingtong has taken the antidote and is not in danger of life for the time being. ”
