Chapter 23: The Treasure Controversy (Part II)
Fu Huan and Qi Rui's skills are in the middle of the best, Qi Rui relies on his sensitive footwork, and he will not suffer a loss in the face of Fu Huan. You Wanqing's skills are above Chan'er, her sword is fierce, and she has passed by Chan'er's side several times, Chan'er has walked fifty moves in You Wanqing's hands with King Gong's sword, and then with light footwork, she finally does not fall behind. Just as You Wanqing was pressing on Chan'er step by step, the woman surnamed Wen suddenly flashed in, got involved under the sword blades of the two, and calmly separated the swords in the hands of the two.
"Who are you?" You Wanqing was surprised by the woman's posture, and took a step back and asked.
The woman surnamed Wen only smiled at You Wanqing, then turned around and looked at Chan'er and said:
"You are the Chan'er girl of Prince Gong's Mansion."
"Do you recognize me?" As Chan'er spoke, she withdrew her long sword as a sign of respect.
"Your people have repelled the army of the Yi Kingdom, and my family has such a past. The king of Wenjun, who has been stationed in Bay City for many years, is his father. The woman surnamed Wen smiled kindly at Chan'er and said, "In terms of seniority, you have to call me Aunt Wen." ”
It turned out that the woman in front of her was the daughter of King Wenjun and the Ninth Princess, and Chan'er's mother Concubine Du Ling should be a cousin. Chan'er hurriedly saluted the woman and said:
"Chan'er has seen Aunt Wen."
"Good girl." Hearing that the woman surnamed was still looking at Chan'er, she was inexplicably happy, and she smiled.
Although Chan'er felt that Aunt Wen was overly enthusiastic, it was not easy to ask questions, and at this time, Shui Ci suddenly approached and said tentatively:
"Auntie?"
When the woman surnamed Wen heard the voice, her eyes turned to Shui Ci, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes:
"Are you...... Resignation? ”
"Why are you here?" confirmed the woman's identity, and Shui Ci was also surprised.
"Your uncle and I have always been here." The woman surnamed Wen said, looking around at everyone, "You are all gathered here for the treasures in the cave, so you might as well come with me." ”
"The seniors know where the treasure is." Xiuyuan stepped forward and said.
"A secret book of swords, countless rare treasures."
"Since the predecessor is a native of Hengguo and a person who knows the inside story, how can he let us get close to the treasure?" You Wanqing then asked.
"Approaching may not be able to take you away, and even how to get out of this cave is just a matter of skill." The woman surnamed Wen looked at everyone and said. Before he could finish speaking, there was a sound of mechanism, and the secret door of a stone room suddenly opened.
Then, the woman surnamed Wen took the first step and led the way, and everyone was not to be left behind and followed one after another. Chan'er was a little curious, looked at Shui Ci and asked:
"You call Aunt Wen your aunt, did the Shui family deal with the Wen family?"
Shui Ci's expression was slightly strange, and he was silent for a while, and asked rhetorically:
"Do you see the crystal bracelet on your aunt's hand?"
Hearing this, Chan'er looked at the wrist of the woman surnamed Wen, and then said in disbelief:
"That's not ...... Uncle Zhan's love affair? ”
"yes. It seems that you don't know that Mrs. Zhan is the descendant of the Wen family. There was a hint of memory on Shui Ci's face, and he said, "It may be because the Demon Palace is in Beicheng, and the people in the city are very grateful for the virtue of Wen Jun Wang guarding the city and protecting the people. Thinking about it this way, you don't necessarily know the cousin relationship between the two families, let alone you. ”
"There is a reason why his parents left him alone, and if he learns the truth, he will not be sentimental." Chan'er thought about Zhan Dusk in her heart, and couldn't help but smile softly.
Shui Ci looked at Chan'er's smile, as if admitting defeat, and sighed lightly and said:
"Look at my aunt's appearance, I have recognized you. But so many things have happened in the night country, where are the people of Zhan Dusk? ”
"Didn't he help deal with the 'flow'?"
"I don't understand what you lonely people are trying to show just now, but I know that you seem to be facing a big crisis, and I can't help. If...... If he can be here, at this time when you need him......" Shui Ci made up his mind, looked directly at Chan'er and said, "I believe he can take care of you." I'll put you back in his hands. ”
"Brother Shui, the way you say this, it seems that you want to draw a line with us." Chan'er couldn't bear to be lonely, and deliberately adjusted the atmosphere and said, "The person that Brother Qu trusts is you, we are a family, and you can't rely on it." ”
"Okay." Shui Ci didn't understand Chan'er's intentions, so he laughed and didn't say much about this topic. Turning his eyes, he saw that the cave in front of him was wide, the cave was high and wide, and the figures were stacked on top of each other, and it was very noisy.
"It's Brother Tuoba, Brother Shan Yu, as well as Alai and Huang Feng." Chan'er was surprised.
"Uncle Zhan is really there." Shui Ci changed his address to Zhan Qiguan and said.
"And Brother Qi." The number of acquaintances present was completely beyond Chan'er's imagination.
"Sixth Sister and King Fu." Shui Ci then said, "King Fu's poisoning is all true, how can you let Chang Yan go so easily." ”
Shui Ci and Chan'er were relaxed and didn't pay attention, and the conversation between the two was listened to by Luo Dongyou. Luo Dong immediately thought in his heart: The princess and King Fu had met, and no matter what, the two could not be allowed to have a chance to confront each other.
"Who is the person who fought Liao Chen?" Shui Ci asked.
"Shan Yugong, the king of Qiangnan, is the righteous brother of Tuoba's elder brother. Brother Yu did what he said, because Liao Chen stabbed me in Nanguoxing, and he has always taken it as his mission to hunt down Liao Chen. Chan'er's heart warmed, and she shook her head with a smile.
"What about the one who is inseparable from Xiuyao, 'Brother Qi'?"
"That's the old enemy on the battlefield of Xiuyao, the captain of Hengguo's light car, Qi Fan."
It is a matter of seizing the treasure to take the throne of the emperor and rejuvenating the country, Xiu Yao not only relied on Chang Yan's subordinates this time, but also brought Sand Ou, Vulture, Mandarin Duck, Xiao Panwei and other masters, at this moment Xiu Yao and Qi Fan are fighting fiercely, and Sha Ou and other four people are also holding on to Qian, Kun, Zhen, and Xun.
Taking advantage of Chan'er's focus on the fight between all parties, Luo Dong suddenly made up his mind to strike at Chan'er first, and such an opportunity would not come again. Yunwu caught a glimpse of Luo Dong wanting to hurt Chan'er on the side, and subconsciously raised his hand to block it. Chan'er and Shui Ci heard the sound, and then turned around and became wary of Luo Dong and the others.
"You have forgotten the emperor's order, anyone who obstructs the court, no matter who will kill him." Luo Dong looked directly at the clouds and mist.
"How did the princess ever hinder the will of God?" The longer Yunwu was in Prince Gong's Mansion, he knew that Chan'er was a person, and he gradually had his own judgment in his heart.
"The princess has a constant country, a river country, and a night country in her heart, but there is no lonely country. In front of a group of friends, how can there be the power to compete for treasures. For the sake of the national economy and people's livelihood, only offend the princess. Luo Dong was loyal to Emperor Xuan, and said solemnly.
"The food of the king, the matter of loyalty. Could it be that you have been in Prince Gong's Mansion for too long, and you have betrayed the emperor like Huang Feng. Yang Xin obviously had the same thoughts as Luo Dong, and his words were full of accusations.
Not far away, Huang Feng had noticed the situation Chan'er was in, greeted Ah Lai and An Liu, and bypassed Xiuyuan and the others to protect Chan'er.
"Yang Xin is right, his subordinates have never told the princess the identity of the old master, and he didn't think that today would almost put the princess in danger, please forgive the princess." Huang Feng said, looking at the clouds, "The princess is dedicated to peace with the country, and she has never been ashamed of the emperor and the people, I can repay with my life, this is my choice." And are you going to hurt the princess like them? ”
"I ......" the clouds and mist between the loyal monarch and the protector, and they couldn't help but hesitate and be in a dilemma.
"What about you?" Luo Dong gave Jing Hu another look.
Jing Hu, who had never made a sound, said lightly:
"I remember I said that from the day I decided to be the master, no one or anything could make me change my court."
"That's good." Luo Dong laughed reassuringly when he heard this, then glanced at Qi Hong, and arranged, "You and Yang Xin will deal with the Seven Valley Lords, and I will deal with Huang Feng with Jing Hu." ”
"Excuse me, princess." Qi Hong nodded, and his words had already expressed his attitude.
Subsequently, Yang Xin and Qi Hong quickly surrounded Shui Ci, Jing Hu and Luo Dong shot at Huang Feng like lightning, and Yunwu looked at Chan'er, hesitating for a while. And Qirui looked at the situation in front of him, unwilling to get involved, and chose not to help each other.
On the other side, Yin Yin hurriedly called out to Yuan Han, who was fighting with Chang Yan, and said:
"Yuan Han, your people want to hurt Chan'er."
This shout not only stopped Yuan Han, but also woke up Tuoba Yabu, Shan Yugong, Xiuyao and others who were intoxicated with the competition, and several parties then made a truce and paid attention to the situation on the other side.
Under the joint efforts of Jing Hu and Luo Dong, Huang Feng had almost no power to fight back, seeing that Luo Dong was about to stab Huang Feng in the chest with a sword, in an instant, but seeing Jing Hu's palm flipped, the target of the attack suddenly turned from Huang Feng to Luo Dong. Luo Dong hurriedly withdrew his hand and avoided Jing Hu's palm, but he couldn't avoid Huang Feng's leg swept by the wind, and he fell to the ground heavily. Jing Hu immediately stepped forward, and pointed his long sword directly at Luo Dong's neck.
"What do you do?" Luo Dong glared at the well guard, and his face was puzzled.
"From the moment you attacked the princess, it was destined to be this end." Jing Hu said, and said to Yang Xin and the others, "You still don't stop?" ”
Yang Xin and Qi Hong glanced at each other, knowing that they had missed the opportunity today, so they withdrew their hands and stepped aside.
Seeing this, Jing Hu motioned to Huang Feng to restrain Luo Dong, then turned around and knelt down on one knee in front of Chan'er:
"Jing Guardian see master."
"You say I'm your master?" Chan'er was puzzled, and looked back and forth at the well guard and water words.
"In the original surname Chen, in the early years of the Chen family was killed by traitors, it was His Royal Highness King Gong who saved me, and I was raised by His Royal Highness's acquaintance and music master Mr. Jing Qin, and also presided over justice, and avenged the Chen family. After my father-in-law passed away, I wanted to go to Prince Gong's mansion to thank the prince for his kindness, and I heard the news of the prince's martyrdom before I entered the lonely capital. In order to avenge the prince one day, I fought for the status of the royal guard, and then had the honor to fight with the princess against the Yi army. I had no intention of hiding the princess, and I didn't know where to speak, so I only secretly guarded the princess's safety. Until things change, and the emperor has the heart to calculate the princess and the king Fu, I can no longer be silent. ”
"Thank you for speaking up, get up."
"The princess is serious."
"Chan'er." Yuan Han immediately stepped forward with mixed feelings.
"Uncle Sanhuang, you're all right." Chan'er looked Yuan Han up and down, her eyes full of joy.
"I've told me everything that happened during this time." Yuan Han nodded, and said to Shui Ci again, "Thank you for saving each other, and for taking care of Chan'er." ”
"King Fu doesn't have to be polite, you can thank the sixth sister for always taking care of you." Shui Ci and Yin Yin glanced at each other and said.
"I understand." Yuan Han's smile seemed to be full of affection for Yinyin.
"Did An Liu bring you here, do you know ...... Luodong them" Chan'er didn't know how to describe the matter about Emperor Xuan for a while.
"An Liu and Yan Wu only knew that the people from the General's Gang came in this direction, and I was worried that you would be here, so I hurried here. But what happened next, I can roughly guess a thing or two. Yuan Han's gaze drifted over Luo Dong, Qi Hong and the others, and he looked around and said, "In any case, we have been involved in the treasure dispute, and the disagreement with the imperial brother will be discussed later." ”
"The predecessor just said that he would show us the true face of the treasure, I don't know where the treasure is?" Fu Huan asked the woman surnamed Wen, that is, Mrs. Zhan.
"It's easy to see the secrets of treasures, but I've also said that it's up to each person to get out." Mrs. Cham said.
"There seems to be a deep meaning in the words of the seniors, please make it clear." Xiuyuan said.
"There is indeed a mechanism to open the treasure in this stone chamber, but once the mechanism is triggered, the alley and secret passage leading to the entrance and exit of the cave will collapse within half an hour, and the escape route is likely to be impassable."
"The seniors seem to know a lot about the mechanisms in the cave, so they must know how to leave." Sun said.
"It's true that some of the mechanisms can be manipulated by humans, but that was only before the treasure was opened. After that, even we can't do anything about it. Mrs. Zhan said as she approached Zhan Qiguan.
"There is no way to live, whether to fight for your life or not, please think twice." Zhan Qiguan immediately said, and after speaking, he took Mrs. Zhan's hand and looked like he was out of the way.
Ren in the cave several people and horses fought hard, the collapse of the cave was only a matter of time, Zhan Qiguan and Mrs. Zhan were right, I just hoped that everyone present would figure it out for themselves and give up leaving. However, Xiuyuan, Yuan Han, Xiuyao, and Tuoba Yabu restrained each other, and none of them refused to back down first.
At this time, only one voice was heard:
"Do you see the two protrusions on the roof of the cave? One of them can open the treasure, while the other will bury the treasure deep underground. Please look forward to what the end of my arrow will be. ”
As the words fell, an arrow was fired into the mechanism bulge on the left......
