Chapter 155: A Game of Chess (Part I)

South of Red Rose City. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was originally a waterway of the Liangjiang River and was surrounded by lush rice paddies.

A few years ago, in order to divert the water of the Liangjiang River to create a moat, the Liangjiang River changed its watercourse, and the wheat field in the south of the city gradually became barren. Today, all that's left is a sloppy and dilapidated thatched house.

Xiao Rong walked along the barren path and walked forward.

"Is this here?" asked Lixia.

Xiao Rong looked around.

"There have been a lot more people here recently, although it can't be ruled out that it's because Danxue recruited relatives, but have you noticed that something is abnormal here?" He didn't look at Li Xia, but looked at the dilapidated houses in the distance, as if he was pondering something.

Li Xia followed Xiao Rong's line of sight, and a dilapidated thatched house had a lazy taste in the warm noon sun.

Li Xia's eyebrows became tighter and tighter, then he let go of his eyebrows, calmly looked at Xiao Rong's back in front of him and said, "I didn't see it." ”

Xiao Rong rolled his eyes.

"I knew you couldn't see it. He sighed and explained, "It's because you can't see it, it's abnormal, and in such a large area, since there are people infested, but there is no trace of people, this is the strangest place." ”

There are people, but they are silently as if no trace has happened, and even as if they have been deliberately touched.

He analyzed the intelligence for a day, and from the cascading clues, he always vaguely felt that something was wrong here.

The only people who can hide the people are the ones closest to death. For example, the dead.

Xiao Rong's right hand pressed on the hilt of the sword, and suddenly grabbed Li Xia, his eyes swept around quickly.

"Be careful. He let out a low sigh.

Before Li Xia could react, he was only pulled by Xiao Rong and took two steps to the left.

Before the words fell, three steel needles about the thickness of a little finger pierced the place where Li Xia was standing, directly sinking into the soil, leaving three black holes that were not obvious.

Li Xia gasped and looked at Xiao Rong fearfully.

If Xiao Rong hadn't pulled him away quickly, those three steel needles would have been enough to give him half a life.

Xiao Rong spread his hands and smiled.

"It's going to be dangerous. "Traps have been laid and waiting to be caught in the end." ”

Li Xia was stunned.

"So you're ......"

"But the technical content of this formation is very low, as long as someone comes, it will be activated by itself, before Xiao Ning'er comes, how about we break through first?" Xiao Rong raised his eyebrows and glanced at Li Xia proudly.

When the formation is activated, it is equivalent to being destroyed, and if she comes again, the danger will be much lower.

Li Xia smiled and said, "Sounds good. ”

The sword was drawn from its scabbard, and a hum grazed the scabbard.

Xiao Rong glanced at Li Xia defiantly, and pointed at the thatched house in front of him with the tip of his sword.

"Bibi?" he raised an eyebrow, "just rush in first!"

Li Xia swung his sword and pulled two sword flowers.

"Good. He nodded.

In the distance, the sun was shining, and the wind lifted a piece of old soil at the head of the wall and smashed it on the new sprouts of a weed.

On one side, there is the lazy crispy spring light, and on the other side, there is the coldness of the line between life and death.

Xiao Rong swung his sword to block the dense flying knives flying out of the shadows. The sound of clanging on the ground joins in one.

He raised his eyebrows uninhibitedly, and shook his flamboyant black hair in the wind with the sound of the knife falling to the ground.

Turning around, he raised his eyebrows defiantly at Li Xia, who had fallen behind him about two paces away.

Li Xia smiled, looked at the beads of sweat that appeared on Xiao Rong's forehead, pursed her lips and ignored him.

It seems close, yet far away.

Life and death are the most distant and insurmountable distances in the world.

……

Gao Tai tapped his fingers on the scabbard and looked at Ming Cheng leisurely.

"How much weight do you have in your son's heart?" he asked.

Ming Cheng turned his head in a muffled voice and did not speak.

Gao Tai's gaze turned to Dongfang Leyue's face.

"You and Nangong are sisters, and Jing Changning is the person Nangong Luoyue swore to follow, you say, how much weight do you have in Jing Changning's heart?"

Dongfang Leyue lowered her eyes and was silent.

Gao Tai stepped forward, reached out and pinched Dongfang Leyue's jaw, and raised it little by little, forcing her to look at herself.

Dongfang Leyue snorted and sneered.

"Your purpose is really not just Wenyi. She said.

Gao Tai shook Dongfang Leyue's face away.

"Smart people, sometimes they can be very annoying. He said, "But things have come to such a desperate situation, and being smart will also show a kind of helpless pity." I know everything, but I can only watch the tragedy happen step by step in front of my eyes. Isn't it funny, you say?"

Dongfang Leyue sneered: "Things haven't come to the last step yet, poor, sad, I don't know who it is." ”

Gao Tai looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Then I'll show you what sorrow is and what despair is!"

"Lord Gao, someone broke into the formation and came towards Zhuangzi. A dead man broke into the stone chamber and said.

Gao Tai turned his head, suppressed his excitement and asked, "Are they coming?"

The dead man replied, "It's not Wen Yi and Jing Changning, it's Xiao Rong and another man." ”

Gao Tai sank his eyebrows: "What are they doing here?"

Dongfang Leyue smiled: "If you want to do something to Jing Langjun, it may be difficult, even if I am in your hands." ”

Gao Tai sneered.

"Do they really think that my formation is so easy to break through? I came to Lin Guo much earlier than Dan Xue passed on to recruit relatives, and the formation laid out by the Lord is by no means so easy to crack. Waiting for the rabbit to wait for work, plus there are hostages in his hands, if he wants to break the situation, he is dreaming!"

Dongfang Leyue's heart trembled.

"Who is your lord, and what does he want to do?" she suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Gao Tai steadily.

Gao Tai glanced at Dongfang Leyue playfully, and had no intention of answering.

He took two steps back, approaching the back wall of the stone chamber, reached out and pressed on one of the bricks on it, and a hidden stone path appeared behind him.

"But, just in case, ask the two of you to move. ”

After that, Gao Tai picked up Ming Cheng and Dongfang Leyue and threw them under the dark passage.

The stone door closes.

Dongfang Leyue protected her lower abdomen and rolled along the stone path, and when she stopped, the whole person was trapped in darkness.

Then, Mingcheng rolled to her side.

The surroundings were very dark, cold, and even more terrifying than the stone room above, but Dongfang Leyue turned over and sat up, her eyes like a torch.

In her heart, there were thousands of thoughts exploding, and she was a little blocked for a while, she opened her lips and teeth slightly, and her face was full of surprise in the dark black.

"Lin Weiran?" she exclaimed.

Ming Cheng stabilized his thoughts, and then heard Dongfang Leyue exclaim.

"Behind Gao Tai is Lin Weiran, isn't it easy to come up with it?" he asked.

Dongfang Leyue shook her head.

"We all underestimated him, no, I should say that no one thought that he would be so capable in such a situation. ”
