Chapter 204: Inexplicable
The woman in black is about sixteen or seventeen years old, with willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a towering nose, and a coquettish look between her eyes. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Li Tianqi didn't expect such a delicate woman under the masked scarf, he asked softly, "It's you?" ā
The woman in black smiled and said, "Oh? Have you and I seen it? Because Li Tianqi was sitting on the edge of the rock at this time, being obscured by a shadow, the woman didn't see Li Tianqi's appearance clearly for a while.
The men in the robes were slightly stunned when they heard the woman's voice, and at this time, they saw that she had arrived by her side, and they were even more half-squatting on the ground to salute.
The woman in black raised her hand, and at this time, the bearded man saw the woman in black coming out, and immediately respectfully held the short sword in his hand, and said to her with the tip of the sword: "Xiao Shura is here, please forgive my subordinates for not knowing." ā
"Excuse me." Xiao Shura still stared at Li Tianqi and asked with a smile, "What?" You haven't answered my question yet? "Oh, I see, you're the kid I spoke to hours ago." ā
Li Tianqi said indifferently: "I didn't expect that we were very fated, but we met here again." ā
Xiao Shura waved his hand again, and the beard and the dozen or so men in the robes stepped back a few feet in amusement, and disappeared into the shadow of the rock. It seems that this woman is quite high among them, and she has silently retreated to the side without even daring to ask the reason, which also shows the strictness of their organizational discipline.
Xiao Shura smiled, "Didn't you go to find the giant spider's lair?" How did it turn back again? ā
Li Tianqi shook his head and said, "The giant spider in the nest has been emptied, it is not your doing, it must be someone else." Naturally, we won't be there forever. ā
Xiao Shura said lightly: "I underestimated you, I just didn't want you recruits to participate and deliberately led you there, but I didn't expect you to rush overnight, but you ran into it here again." ā
Li Tianqi asked, "Who are you?" ā
"Shhhh......h She half-crouched down and retreated into the shadows under the rocks.
Li Tianqi smelled the fragrance of osmanthus on her body, which was sweet and refreshing. This is still the woman he has been so close to a strange woman since he became an adult, and this woman is so sweet, he can't see that she is actually the head of this group, and judging from the word Shura, it must be a character who is not easy to mess with, but why does she love to laugh so much, is it so named Shura?
Just thinking about it, Xiao Shura picked up Li Tianqi from behind and walked forward for a while, and at this moment both of them saw the scene in front of them clearly.
A majestic team walked towards Yan Juncao's team from the other side, with clusters of torches and banners, although it was too far away to see who the banner was, but from the perspective of the formation, this team was not small, and they also had more than a hundred people, all of whom were sitting on tall horses.
The team led by Yan Juncao has already been assembled, and he greeted this team respectfully, it seems that the team that came over is indeed the army of the Tang Dynasty, and the military rank is very high, otherwise the team led by Yan Juncao would not be so respectful.
Could it be that this woman and this group of people are running for this team? Thinking of this, Li Tianqi turned his head to look at Xiao Shura beside him, but saw her pink neck, a small moonlight fell on her neckline, and the delicate appearance of smooth skin like clotted fat could be broken by blowing made his heart ripple for a while.
Xiao Shura felt Li Tianqi's gaze and smiled, "Satisfied?" After speaking, he shook his head helplessly.
Li Tianqi suddenly felt a hard blow on the back of his neck, and he fainted when he couldn't make a sound......
A mountain spring several feet wide rises and falls, strange rocks gurgle down abruptly, green and tall ancient trees are isolated on a small hillside, and dozens of thick fibrous roots crisscross and coil together and go straight into the soil layer under the rock face.
On the thick trunk of the ancient tree, five feet above the ground, lay two men covered in broad leaves, staring at the movement below the mountain in the distance.
There were also two people dressed like this on the tree dozens of feet away from this ancient tree.
What strange people.
The ancient trees where they were located were in front of a number of inconspicuous natural huts, all of which were inhabited by a number of people.
Vines with broad leaves are woven into the roof, and the trunks of a few small trees become natural pillars, covered on three sides with thick banana leaves and hay.
At this moment, a young man lay on a simple bed made of dozens of tough rattan strips intertwined above.
Not far from the ground, a small bamboo was lit, and the white powder in the bamboo gradually burned, emitting a faint white smoke, and on the mud ground lay a lot of various blood-sucking mosquitoes and flies.
How did he get here? Who are those people?
Li Tianqi was still in a dream, he wanted to wake up but it wasn't so easy.
It seems that the white powder in these small bamboos not only has the effect of repelling insects, but also has the effect of soothing people's nerves, no wonder Li Tianqi has slept soundly for a night after being brought here, and he has not woken up at this time.
It was very quiet, and these people didn't even light a fire for breakfast, but just ate some glutinous rice cakes, so cautious, as if they were afraid that someone would find a trace.
Despite their caution, there was a man in the woods, dressed in a black cloak with a tricorne hat that completely covered the man's head, and from a distance, he looked like a black crow, walking with his wings folded and walking in.
But the secret whistles hidden in the trees did not move, nor did they warn, and the people who came should be their accomplices.
Sure enough, the beard came out of the hideout, stepped forward to say hello, and the two muttered for a while and walked straight to the simple residence where Li Tianqi was.
At this time, Li Tianqi felt that his hands and legs were sore, and he had woken up, but he found that he was still tied, like a zongzi, tight.
Hearing the footsteps, Li Tianqifang turned over and sat up, and two people had already appeared in front of him, the strange man with a beard and a black cloak staring at him sharply.
The strange man's pale and thin face was full of wrinkles, the skin was stacked in several layers on the face, and it was full of dark spots, and the two eyes were a little pale green, and they did not look like people, but like ghosts who had strayed into the world.
The bearded man saw that Li Tianqi had woken up, so he asked in a stiff language: "The envoy wants me to ask you, and you answer honestly, if you are not honest, you will click." ā
"Brackets." The weirdo said the same thing.
Li Tianqi had never spoken any other language in front of him when he met this bearded man last night, but he had already heard that they were not from the Central Plains, and when he heard the strange man suddenly come to such a sentence, he affirmed his judgment even more, and the words bracket and click also sounded a little similar, presumably this strange person was just deliberately doing this to intimidate himself.
Li Tianqi said: "Since it has fallen into your hands, if you want to ask, just ask." But what about the laughing Shura? ā
The bearded man said: "The envoy is respectful, don't talk about him." Let me ask you, were you ordered to come and join the king of Wei last night? ā
King Wei? Li Tianqi was stunned in his heart, he didn't expect that the team of people last night actually belonged to King Wei?
Seeing Li Tianqi stunned, he thought there was a play, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, "Say!" ā
Li Tianqi nodded and said, "That's right, it's indeed to receive King Wei." ā
"Oh?" The beard rolled his eyes, "Who are you ordering?" How did you know that we were going to attack the King of Wei in the basin? ā
Li Tianqi laughed secretly in his heart, he didn't know why this group of people sneakily lurked on the edge of the rock last night, but when he asked the bearded man, he revealed the purpose of his trip, which was also funny.
Li Tianqi said: "Naturally, I was ordered by the superiors. ā
"On a bad errand?" The bearded man didn't seem to understand what the difference meant, and was speechless for a while.
When the strange man saw this, he threw a look at his beard. The bearded man had an epiphany and asked, "Who is the chagrin?" ā
Li Tianqi said: "The messenger is the person sent by the emperor to spread the word, I am just a humble soldier, of course I don't know it." ā
The beard muttered softly to the strange man. The strange man's lips twitched, and the beard nodded repeatedly, and it seemed that this person was talking to the beard by means of sound transmission.
The bearded man looked at Li Tianqi and asked, "How did you know that we were going to attack King Wei in the basin?" ā
Li Tianqi was stunned, he really didn't know how Yan Juncao learned that this group of people was going to attack the King of Wei in the basin, and he didn't know why this bearded man had this question, but he saw that the two people in front of him had solemn expressions, and knew that things were not simple.
The bearded man said again: "Say it quickly! ā
Li Tianqi asked instead, "How did you know that we found out that there was an ambush?" ā
The bearded man smiled and shook his head, "We're not going to tell you that." ā
Is there a spy of theirs in the team? Li Tianqi didn't feel a move in his heart.
The bearded man said coldly, "You haven't answered my words yet." If the envoy is angry, no one can save you. ā
Li Tianqi said: "Isn't it okay to laugh at Shura? ā
The bearded man shook his head and said, "No." ā
Li Tianqi sighed: "Actually, it was your people who told us. ā
The bearded man was shocked: "Impossible, how could he betray us?" ā
Sure enough, there are spies for them? Who is it? Li Tianqi kept flashing the faces of the hundreds of people in the team in his mind.
Li Tianqi said: "Otherwise, how could we know? So last night we scattered around searching, for fear that you would secretly lay an ambush. ā
The bearded man sighed: "Fortunately, Xiao Shura is here, otherwise we might have fallen for the trick." ā
The bearded man muttered to the strange man again, and said, "You can go." ā
"May I go?" Li Tianqi was surprised, he thought that these people might be unfavorable to him after asking, and he was thinking hard about how to get out, but he didn't expect to wait for this sentence.
The beard nodded, and reached out to break the rope that bound Li Tianqi's body, it seems that this person's finger power is amazing.
Li Tianqi loosened all the ropes on his body, slowly stood up from the bed, and secretly ran his internal force to move his muscles and bones.
"Let's go." The bearded man waved his hand forward.
