Chapter 373: Into the Valley of Ghosts

Meng Wangwu clenched his fists again, but he didn't lower his face, his gaze crossed the arm above his eyebrows and stared at Emperor Lu like a wolf. However, he lowered his eyelids the moment Emperor Lu saw it, and he lost his expression of imminent victory.

This force, which had been established since the first emperor was a teenager, to find the Fenglong clan, had already formed an overwhelming net.

Except that he did not personally carry out the task of going to the danger to find him, the others can almost be said to have never made a mistake in the search. He even found out the route when the Fenglong clan withdrew, but unfortunately when the army came in person, they only encountered the dense forest that covered the sky and the endless thorns behind the dense forest, and people couldn't enter it at all.

Even if you cut it with a knife or burn it with fire, you can't destroy the thorn.

What I don't know is whether there is really a dragon clan behind the thorns, and why the thorns can't be burned with fire, and the knife is as hard as iron, which is really a very tricky obstacle. However, the forces secretly established by the royal family to find the Dragon Clan still found another way.

It was the one where the Feng family army and the former prime minister Tao Weng walked, although the royal family asked more than a dozen people to lead the team, they still suffered the tragedy of almost the total annihilation.

Therefore, instead of focusing on the Dragon Clan, which may not still exist, it is better to seize the nascent forces in front of you. Let him be and the tricky force, with the financial resources and dragon training tradition of the Lu State, it is impossible to control them.

Emperor Lu was silent for a moment, knocked on the book on the table and said, "The secret decree can be issued." But before he finished speaking, it was evident from the tight brow.

Meng Wangwu was not busy thanking him, but waited for Emperor Lu's next words. Emperor Lu sighed faintly, and said earnestly: "Meng Qing, no matter what the road ahead is, remember not to be anxious, and don't repeat the mistakes of Prime Minister Tao." I can't afford to lose another humerus talent. ”

"Your Majesty, please mourn. Thank you for your care! The ministers will not disgrace their mission and live up to the emperor's trust! Meng Wangwu finally waited until he had to wait, and clasped his fists and bowed.

Emperor Lu pursed his lips and beckoned to him: "Meng Qing, if this matter can be done, you will be the great hero of my Lu country." I am waiting for your good news! Go down and deploy, and then Ah Weng will send it to you himself. ”

"Long live my emperor!" Meng Wangwu still maintained a saluting posture and did not withdraw until Emperor Lu got up to leave.

After a few days, I finally saw the true face of the rumored Ghost Valley. In the middle of the mountain stream surrounded by clouds and mist, there are all dangerous high cliffs, and it is indeed a place made by ghosts. It's just, what are so many entrances going on?

Gao and I gradually left the horse and walked into the boundary of the Ghost Valley, there were many mountain streams along the way, and there were many trails between the high cliffs.

Although it is a cold winter, the trees in this mountain stream are verdant and yellow. There are many trees that do not lose their leaves in winter.

"No wonder your tall uncle got lost when he came to look for you, how long does it take to find the right Ruth in such a place?" I pushed the hat on my head and stared at the mountain stream in amazement.

This place is sparsely populated and inaccessible. The fox has long been like a wild horse on the loose, scurrying around curiously.

Gao Yanli didn't look at the mountain streams and dangerous peaks with such interest as one of us and one dragon, he chuckled and raised the horsewhip in his hand and said: "These mountain streams are just a trick, and the entrance to the Ghost Valley has nothing to do with them. ”

"Huh?" I turned my neck to look at him, who pointed to a bamboo grove on the other side, "The real entrance is over there." ”

I see, no wonder I heard that outsiders have never found the Ghost Valley. Everyone was deceived by the Daimyo of Guigu and the ghostly mountain stream, and I suddenly remembered that Gao Yanli had said that Feng Qingyi's father had personally picked him up from here: "Could it be that General Feng Lao is the only outsider who knows the entrance?" ”

"Old General Feng?" Gao Yanli repeated these words, tilted his head and thought for a while before he suddenly realized: "You are talking about General Feng's concubine, my senior brother's father?" ”

Huh? Is that so? However, since he is his senior brother, Gao Yuanli naturally knows better than me. "Well, it's the guy who came here to pick him up anyway." I pinched the horse's belly.

Actually, I still feel a little strange about Feng Qingyi's father's thoughts.

How can it be said that finding the Fenglong clan is more dangerous than leaving his son in the Ghost Valley, why should he take the child away? Although I heard Zhu Lan say last time that Feng Qingyi and his father were snubbed and bullied because they were still concubines, as long as they were in Guigu, they should not be able to stand the bullying.

Isn't his father anxious and wants him to make a contribution?

I looked at the verdant bamboo forest opposite, and Gao Yuanli's voice echoed between the mountain streams: "That Shibo is a wonderful person, and he makes Master look at him differently. So I know the entrance to the Ghost Valley. In fact, the parents of the disciples have the right to know. However, my father was more careless, and before he heard Master's words, he ran home excitedly to report the good news......"

Gao Yuanli's voice sounded crying and laughing, but the expression on his face was a happy smile from the bottom of his heart.

"Also, just you and Feng Qingyi's two disciples. Anyway, your master will also take into account the feelings of your disciples' families. "It's just that I didn't expect Uncle Gao to be such an uncle, but if you think about it, it's really like that.

I couldn't help but relax with his smile: "Then how did the others meet your master?" "They don't know the entrance, do they?

But Guigu also undertook the assassination mission, after all, they were swordsmen. The last time Gao gradually left was when he had an accident while performing a mission, and he took up the fox's body by mistake, which was two years.

"There are bamboo slips with the seal of the ghost valley in the various roads between the mountain streams, and this matter is well known in the rivers and lakes. Someone with a heart will come and take the bamboo slips, write down the request, and put down the honorarium. Then leave this mountain stream, and after three days, if the bamboo slips and the honorarium are there, they will not accept the commission. Gao Yuanli pointed the whip in his hand and pointed at the row of mountain streams to my left.

I also followed his movements to look over there: "That's why people outside will naturally think that the entrance to the Ghost Valley is over there." ”

"That's it, so to speak. If the bamboo slips and the honorarium are not there when they come, it means that Guigu has received the honorarium, and as long as he waits here, the master will come out to receive him. Gao gradually withdrew his whip, "However, even if it is only a bamboo forest, you can't enter it." It was arranged with the technique of Qimen Dunjia, and ordinary people couldn't get in. ”

It's really cautious, isn't it because there are too many enemies in Guigu, and there are few disciples to be like this?

I thought about it, and suddenly became interested in the issue of honorarium: "What if someone quietly took the bamboo slips and the honorarium?" "In this mountain stream, there will not be people everywhere to guard it.

"Who dares to take the things in the Ghost Valley?" Gao gradually left the rhetorical question.
