432. Chapter 432: There are people near us
"Yes, I still have some rough martial arts in Xia, but it is still much worse than the brothers who are guards here, but fortunately, I am only secretly watching, and Prince Jian and Princess Jian are also trouble-free, and they are very idle when they go down, and they only returned to the palace today to report some things, and they encountered such things, and they came to this kind of ghostly place to deal with you indifferent and ruthless guys, really-" Rong Qingyi said a little unhappily, "Since you are here, the errand has to be done, is it okay for the people who stay here?"
The man hesitated a little, "The people here, the small ones are not blessed to see, only the prince can see them, usually the small ones are guarding in the gatehouse, according to the rules, the small ones can only walk ten meters outside the gatehouse, and then face some inside, the small ones are not blessed to enter, and the guards here are only guarding outside, only with the permission of the prince, only one or two people with extremely high martial arts can go in with him." ”
Jiang Shiwei glanced at the black trees and weeds inside, here, he still has some vague memories in, the place of the Phoenix Pavilion is not small, this is only at the gate, go inside, and you have to walk for a while to get to the position of the main hall, look here, you can't see any candlelight at all, it's a cloud of black.
Rong Qingyi was about to speak, but he heard a plop beside him, and the man had already fallen to the ground and passed out.
"It's really wordy, since he can't go inside, and the guards outside won't come in, then we can go inside and see who is inside. Jiang Shiwei patted his hands, "Don't worry, this person won't know what happened when he wakes up, Jin Zhong, get him into the concierge and throw him on the bed, this kid is really lucky, he can sleep peacefully, here, I still have some impressions, I will take you inside, see if there are Rong Ding and his wife inside." ”
Rong Qingyi sighed, "You're really quick-tempered, where did I ask just now, you stunned people with one palm, and I plan to continue to fool around." ”
Jiang Shiwei was happy, "You three follow closely." There are no lanterns to light here, lest the guards outside see that there is a moving candle inside, and they will come in and ask questions, and we will move lightly, and we will have to walk through the gaps between the trees and the thorns, and the scratches will not be mine. ”
Jiang Shiwei was right, although the guards outside would not come in, if they walked inside with lanterns, if the people outside saw the flickering candlelight, they would definitely be suspicious, after all, there was a sudden flame in front of them, and if they were associated with it, it would be easy to do bad things.
However, the road is really difficult to walk, and finally walked a long section of trees and thorns, and several times cut through his clothes, but he did not see any traces of candlelight and human life, the more he walked inside, the more desolate and chaotic it became, and even, Rong Qingyi stepped on a passing mouse, and the mouse made a sharp squeak, so frightened that Rong Qingyi almost jumped up directly.
"Jiang Shiwei, do you know how to go!" Rong Qingyi's voice trembled a little, which reminded her of the situation in the nightmare grave, at this time, a wild dog suddenly ran out, she would not feel anything surprised, and the hand held firmly by Jian Ye instantly became cold.
"How did I know that this place would be so desolate!" Jiang Shiwei was also tossed a lot, there were marks of scratches on his hands and face, and he was a little annoyed and pulled out his sword and wanted to directly cut down these trees and thorns.
"I feel like we have someone nearby. Jian Ye frowned slightly and said softly.
Rong Qingyi was startled, and immediately looked around, it was dark everywhere, although the wind and rain were not strong, but when the wind blew, there were still some branches trembling, and the leaves were rattling, listening to Jian Ye say this, they felt as if someone was really walking around them.
"Rong Qingyi, Jian Ye is scaring you!" Jiang Shiwei laughed and said in a low voice.
Jian Ye shook his head, "No, there is indeed someone, this person has good martial arts, he seems to be very familiar with the environment and terrain here, we will be scratched by trees and thorns from time to time, but this person can come and go freely in it, if I guessed correctly, he is either a guard here, or a person who is grounded here." ”
"Is it Rong Qingyi's father?" Jiang Shiwei asked curiously.
"I don't know. Jian Ye shook his head, "Qingyi's father and mother don't remember Qingyi now, they are controlled by drugs, even if Qingyi is standing in front of them, they don't recognize it, but Qingyi's father and mother don't know martial arts, they are just good at business, but I think that this person who appears around us is a person with no low martial arts, his footsteps are extremely light, and his internal strength should be good." ”
"If there is such a person, and he doesn't show up, we can't do anything about it. Jiang Shiwei said helplessly, "And even if it is, he didn't expose us, and he is not an enemy, besides, no matter how outstanding his martial arts are, he may not be my opponent and yours, and what about Jin Zhong?"
Hearing Jiang Shiwei say this, Jian Ye and Rong Qingyi realized that Jin Zhong was not following behind their group, and they couldn't even hear his footsteps.
"Sure enough, there are people!" Jiang Shiwei gritted his teeth, "It's our negligence, this place is overgrown with weeds, even taller than people, and there are trees and thorns, we only care about being careful to avoid it, but we forget to be vigilant, and we didn't expect that there are people in this kind of place! ”
Jian Ye thought for a while, and said softly: "At this time, we can't look for Jin Zhong's whereabouts anymore, if someone accuses him, before we figure out our identity, Jin Zhong will not be in any danger, we have to find a place to rest first, and then look for it when the sky is getting brighter, and then look for it when we can see the surrounding situation, the slave in the gatehouse will not enter here, and the guards outside will not come in during the day, maybe tomorrow the prince will come over, we can use him to show us the way." ”
"Okay. Jiang Shiwei said helplessly.
"Is Jinzhong really going to be okay?" asked Rong Qingyi with some concern.
Jian Ye sighed softly, "I don't know, at the moment we can only resign ourselves to fate, remember, no matter what happens, you must be with one of us, if only one of us is with you, whether it is me or Jiang Shiwei, you must leave here as soon as possible, and then find other ways to rescue the others, you can't act alone." ”
Rong Qingyi nodded obediently.
Although the sight has been bad, it is all pitch black, but after staying for so long, it can be regarded as a vague view of the surroundings, the three of them tried to walk towards the place that looked a little empty, and found a place similar to a ruined pavilion, which was half of a pavilion, and the other half had collapsed because of disrepair.
"Hey, this is a pavilion. Jiang Shiwei walked to the pavilion first, and the other half was collapsed, just forming a remnant wall, blocking part of the wind and rain blowing in, and there was a stone table inside, half of which was buried in the collapsed pavilion, and half was still outside, and there was only one good stone bench, and the others were either inside the collapsed pavilion or fell to the ground.
Picking up the stone bench that fell to the ground, Jiang Shiwei sat down and pointed to the stone bench that was still good, "You sit there, it is estimated that it will not be too clean, you are dressed in black clothes, and you can't see it if you are dirty, make do with it." ”
Jian Ye asked Rong Qingyi to sit down on the stone bench, and he himself kept holding Rong Qingyi's hand and stood aside.
"There's a dill here. Rong Qingyi pointed to the broken pillars of the pavilion, there were some climbing and surviving plants on it, and he couldn't see it clearly, "I know the fragrance of this flower, although I haven't smelled it for a long time." Moreover, there are pines and cypresses in it, and when we were walking just now, I tried them with my hands, and they are the branches of pines and cypresses, which are hard and very prickly. That prince must have been here. ”
"But-" Jiang Shiwei looked around, "Although I can't see clearly at this time, what is certain is that this place is full of weeds, trees and thorns, and there is no trace of human life at all.
Jiang Shiwei touched the stone table with his hand, and did not immediately withdraw his hand, but touched it back and forth several times.
"No, someone must have been here. Jiang Shiwei's voice was clear, and he said quickly, "This stone table is smooth and clean, touched with your hands, without the slightest sense of astringency, although it is a little damp, it is because it is windy and rainy at this time, but there is no dirty dust at all." ”
Jian Ye didn't speak, he kept quietly looking around, there were people here, he was not surprised at all, since they entered this overgrown place, he already knew that someone was quietly following them.
"What's so strange about that. Rong Qingyi sighed, a little tired.
Although they did not walk for too long, that is, nearly half an hour, in a place overgrown with weeds, dense trees, and thorns, every step was extremely difficult, and there was no concept of direction at all, and sometimes they even walked in place or circled, which was really tiring.
Especially since they had been walking for a long time before, and when they sat down at this time, they only felt tired.
"What?" Jiang Shiwei was a little puzzled and looked at Rong Qingyi.
Rong Qingyi sighed and said slowly: "When I was in the gatehouse just now, I asked the guard who was stunned by you, and asked him if it was okay for him to stay here, and they also said that he couldn't see it, only the prince and a few particularly trusted guards could enter to see them, which already shows that there are people here." ”
"Don't you want to find out if this is your father and mother?" Jiang Shiwei was a little curious, looked at Rong Qingyi, and asked, "Why are you so calm? If it were me, I would have known that my father and mother might stay here, and I would have been looking around impatiently." ”
While speaking, Jiang Shiwei also deliberately looked around, making a anxious look.
