445.Chapter 445: I'll Follow You
Not too deep into the swamp, Yuan Jinyu could see the white mist in the distance from where she was standing, which was the miasma unique to the swamp. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info And now before it goes deeper, so many lives have been lost, and this swamp is full of strange atmosphere.
Thirty had stepped forward, examining the corpses that were hanging from the trees. At first glance they looked headless, with only a thin rope, pulling their collars and hanging them on a high place, but when they examined themselves, they found that they had all died of the poison they were carrying, and that their heads had been cut off after death.
Now, the swamp was filled with miasma, and the blood under them was undried and they didn't know where their heads had been placed...... There was a gust of yin wind blowing, so that Yuan Jinyu couldn't help but lean towards Mu Ze's side.
Mu Ze discovered her anxiety and protected her behind him, if something happened to her, he would save her as soon as possible.
After thirty years later, he walked back and told Mu Ze about the results of his investigation.
Yuan Jinyu frowned at his words: "In other words, these people are likely to kill each other?" "If they die of their own poison and do not detoxify themselves, they are likely to have been controlled by others when they die.
Mu Ze was silent for a long time and spoke: "Are you suspicious, they were manipulated?" ”
Yuan Jinyu nodded, staring at Mu Ze, feeling that as long as there was this man by her side, she was not afraid of anything. His tall back reassured himself: "If they weren't manipulated, how could they kill each other?" ”
Thirty was puzzled: "This spirit clan is not as mysterious as the rumors, if they want to control whoever they want, then this battle, Da Zhou will lose." The Spirit Race also needs certain means to manipulate people's hearts. The Tang Sect relies on Gu worms, and the Spirit Clan is diverse. Musical instruments, medicines, can be their means of controlling people's hearts. But this skill is also related to bloodline. It is rumored that the wizards of the Elves are the purest of blood, and they are also the ones who can control living beings without any means of mediumship. But with such a force against the sky, it can't just leave the territory of this spirit race. ”
Thirty spoke, and finally sighed at Yuan Jinyu: "Of course, these are just hearsay, when they were in Southern Xinjiang, His Royal Highness didn't see their wizards, and they all went to worship in Baicheng. ”
Although Yuan Jinyu has never been to southern Xinjiang, after all, he has been planning by Mu Ling's side for so long in the previous life, and he knows how difficult it is for this kind of Great Zhou people who are not Han people to rule. If you want them to surrender, you must know and respect their beliefs. Mu Ze ruled Southern Xinjiang like an iron bucket before, and he must not have relied on iron-blooded means, but should have properly given respect to these alien races.
But in this situation, to put it mildly, it is these aliens who are shameless. Now that Mu Ze has returned to southern Xinjiang, they must have really panicked.
Yuan Jinyu set his eyes on Mu Ze's body, whether to leave or stay, and asked Mu Ze to come and get an idea.
Mu Ze also looked at Yuan Jinyu with a sharp heart, this woman who was obviously delicate but contained strength, and who was obviously soft in her heart but also had a different kind of tenacity.
"From here, you can get back to camp in less than half a day. Ayu, this king will give you another chance to choose, do you really want to follow this king? In Mu Ze's heart, he didn't want her to follow. But this mood was contradictory, and the thought that she could share the weal and woe with him made his heavy heart light up two points.
Now, he has put the power of choice in the hands of Yuan Jinyu, and it is really the last chance.
Yuan Jinyu was moved in his heart, knowing how much a man was afraid of losing himself, and how much he wanted to send himself out. But this time, she stood by Mu Ze's side extremely firmly, staring into his eyes, and speaking at an unfast speed that could make him see his mouth shape clearly: "I choose to follow His Highness, even if it is to pay for my life." ”
"Don't say that." Since Mu Ze was willing to take her, he said that he would definitely protect her. And along the way, she calmed everyone's emotions, and the environment was difficult but she didn't shout bitterness, which was enough to make Mu Ze impressed with her.
Looking at the woman with burning eyes, Mu Ze couldn't help but think to himself, this is the woman who should be on a par with this king. And Jinyu, how many surprises do you want to give this king.
"Then I had to keep going. This spirit race, this king himself came to meet them for a while. Mu Ze looked into the depths of the swamp, and at this moment, regardless of what others thought, he directly held Yuan Jinyu's hand.
There are dangers everywhere here, and he must be inseparable from Yuan Jinyu.
The group walked a few steps forward, and suddenly they heard a sound of breaking through the air, as if something was quickly passing through the air, so the wind was so terrible.
And Yuan Jinyu didn't see how Mu Ze made a move, and when he fixed his eyes again, he found that there was an extra dart in his hand.
Not only him, but also darts hit the trees very close to the other soldiers. A few soldiers didn't know whether the dart was poisonous or not, so they took a look at it from a distance and found that it was the same sentence written on it: Give Mu Ze to us, or like someone from the Tang Sect, die here.
Mu Ze couldn't help frowning when he saw the words on the dart, but then, he just threw the dart on the ground, and when he walked forward, he stepped on it and directly imprinted the dart in the wet soil.
Thirty already had a fierce face, but Mu Ze didn't dare to say anything, and he naturally wouldn't speak.
The soldiers behind him were also calm, except for the two who were exploring the path in front, the rest followed behind Mu Ze.
But Yuan Jinyu was thinking about another thing, the darts just now were clearly based on the number of people. Mu Ze didn't react at first, indicating that the dart came from a strange source, and it was probably not shot by a human approach.
And maybe the other soldiers don't know, but Yuan Jinyu and the thirty know it, those soldiers behind him are just people in the light, and in the dark, there should be secret guards guarding them.
But this dart does not contain those of the dark guards, does it mean that this spirit clan is playing tricks, in fact, they haven't found anyone in the shadows at all.
The atmosphere was a little strange for a moment, no one spoke, just a foot deep and shallow foot into the swamp.
Mu Ze has the experience of surviving here, and choosing the right path will not be difficult for him at all. Yuan Jinyu followed him closely, listening to the abrupt birdsong in the sky from time to time, and the miasma around him became thicker and thicker.
Mu Ze held her hand tightly, but after walking for a while, he found that they seemed to have been circling in circles.
Finally, after going around again, Yuan Jinyu also realized that something was wrong.
She tugged Mu Ze's hand and asked, "Your Highness, did we pass by here just now?" ”
There are many places in this southern Xinjiang that are weird, especially in this kind of forest, it is not difficult to set up a formation to trap these people.
Mu Ze walked to a thick tree and nodded, "I should be trapped in the maze." ”
Thirty walked to Mu Ze's side: "Since you have entered the maze, it should be not far from the village of the Spirit Clan." ”
Yuan Jinyu knew a little about this, and set up a maze in front of the village, mostly because he didn't want foreigners to enter it. However, Yuan Jinyu didn't know anything about the formation, so she couldn't help much now, so she could only ask Mu Ze: "Your Highness, is there a way to break this maze?" ”
Mu Ze's expression did not change, but his eyes were solemn. At this moment, he was still holding Yuan Jinyu's hand tightly with one hand, but his eyes were staring into the distance: "This maze is a living array. ”
"Living Array?" Yuan Jinyu was puzzled.
Thirty nodded and explained, "Actually, when he just came in, His Highness should have found that he had already entered the formation. But because the Spirit Race is a master of manipulating living beings, if they can spy on our every move, they can change the formation with our actions. ”
Only then did Yuan Jinyu understand why Mu Ze had just taken them around twice, and it turned out that he was looking for a way to crack the formation.
She couldn't help but pout: "It's really despicable. ”
The enemy is dark and I am clear, what do they do, this formation can be changed accordingly, this is the rhythm of trapping them here to death!
Because the group had been on the road for several hours, it was already getting dark. Mu Ze simply stood still and said to the group: "Let's rest in place first." ”
Yuan Jinyu saw that the other soldiers were scattered, although they were resting, they were paying attention to the situation in the vicinity all the time. Even thirty went to the tree not far away, looking into the distance.
Yuan Jinyu didn't leave Mu Ze, she knew very well how many catties and taels she had, if she got lost, I am afraid that Mu Ze would be completely at a disadvantage.
The soldiers didn't look at this side either, Yuan Jinyu stretched out his index finger and gently scratched Mu Ze's palm, Mu Ze looked up, and saw the woman's eyes full of bright smiles.
"How?" His voice was deliberately muffled, and his eyes softened a lot.
I have to say that Yuan Jinyu was by his side, which also made him extremely reassured. If she was left in the barracks at this time, I am afraid that he would be afraid that there would be someone in the barracks who would be controlled by the people of the Spirit Clan, and then it would be unfavorable to her.
Yuan Jinyu also lowered his voice and smiled slyly: "Brother Jiu will definitely be able to crack this formation." ”
Even if Mu Ze couldn't hear the voice, he could see the full confidence on the little girl's face. His slightly tense heart was relaxed, and he said a little casually: "Why do you believe in me so much?" ”
Yuan Jinyu grinned: "Because Brother Jiu didn't say that you can't break it!" ”
Yuan Jinyu's idea was very simple, since Mu Ze hadn't given up, she couldn't mess with herself now. Anyway, she is also Mu Ze's personal military advisor.
Her two small hands wrapped around one of his big hands, although Mu Ze couldn't hear it, but her voice was more gentle: "So don't worry, we will always go out, even if we can't get out, I will accompany you." ”
Mu Ze's eyes suddenly moved, and he stared at Yuan Jinyu for a long time, making Yuan Jinyu think that there was something dirty on his face, and wiped it twice.
