Chapter 41 To the Altar
It was dawn, and the sun hung high in the east. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Feihong stood quietly on the pier, staring in the direction of the source of the Fairy River, holding the bag left by Qin Mei in her hand. The bag had been opened and rubbed into shape in Feihong's hands.
Finally, a small boat came rowing from the source of the Fairy River. Could it be that Qinmei is back? Feihong dressed up and went to the front of the trestle. But when the boat docked, it was not Qin Mei who got off the boat, but a young man, dressed in white, with more fat powder on his face than a woman, and even eyeliner. He was followed by three or four other retinues, who also dismounted.
Feihong recognized this man, his name was Wang Yongzhong, I don't know what real skills he had, but now he is a big celebrity under Chi Jin, and he is quite powerful. Now that she has met her, Feihong naturally has to step forward to say hello.
Wang Yongzhong glanced at Feihong and asked, "Didn't you say that you Yunying Helm caught that wanted criminal Bi Ling?" Are you still at the helm? ”
Feihong replied, "No." Her subordinates have brought her to the altar and is now on the ship. ”
Wang Yongzhong was overjoyed and said, "Oh? That's a lot of fun. I was ordered by the Sect Master to bring her to the main altar and meet the Sect Master. Now that she's here, leave it to me! ”
Feihong asked: "Dare to ask the king's steward, where is our helmsman now?" ”
Wang Yongzhong thought for a while and said, "Oh, Qinmei's helm is tired of the main boat, and the sect leader has left her to rest at the main altar, so let me bring someone up." ”
Feihong asked again: "Does the king's steward have a warrant from the sect master?" ”
Wang Yongzhong was a little impatient, and asked rhetorically: "I am the organizer of the teaching, do I still need a warrant?" ”
Feihong smiled and said: "The king's steward is angry, and his subordinates also do things according to the rules." ”
"Humph!" Wang Yongzhong raised his hand and said to his entourage, "Bring it." The entourage handed over a letter, and Wang Yongzhong casually threw the letter at Feihong, "This is the warrant you want, take it!" ”
Feihong took the letter and looked at it, it was really Chi Jin's order. Feihong put away the letter, nodded, and said, "The subordinate was rude just now. Ask the king's steward to go to the ship with his subordinates to fetch men. ”
Wang Yongzhong waved his hand and said, "No! You go and get her out. ”
Feihong replied: "Yes, the subordinates obey the order." She returned to the ship, gathered all her men, and went to the cabin where Biling was.
Bi Ling was still sitting quietly by the window, but her face was even more haggard. She saw Feihong Xingshi coming in, and asked lightly, "Have you arrived at the main altar?" ”
Feihong replied: "I arrived last night, and now, the sect leader has ordered someone to mention the second princess." ”
Bi Ling smiled slightly and said, "Then let's go." She was about to get up, but she had been sitting on her legs for so long that she had lost her strength and was still unsteady on her feet. Feihong ordered two of his men to help Bi Ling.
Wang Yongzhong waited impatiently on the shore again, and shouted, "What are you rubbing? Why don't you hurry up and get her out? ”
Feihong took Bi Ling out of the boat and hurriedly said, "Let the king wait for a long time." ”
Wang Yongzhong glanced at Biling and asked, "You are Biling?" ”
Bi Ling drooped her eyes, turned her head to the side, and ignored him.
Feihong replied helpfully: "Yes, she is the second princess." ”
Wang Yongzhong shook his head and said, "What a second princess, she looks really good!" He waved his hand, "Escort away!" ”
"Slow!" Unexpectedly, at this time, Feihong actually shouted, she faced Wang Yongzhong with a surprised expression, and said, "I can't take her to the main altar yet." ”
Wang Yongzhong asked, "Why?" ”
Feihong replied: "Because there is still one person who has not taken it." ”
Wang Yongzhong asked, "Who?" ”
Feihong smiled and said, "It's the king who is in charge of you!" Then, as soon as she gave an order, the disciples of Yunying Helm rushed up and subdued Wang Yongzhong and the others.
Wang Yongzhong had no chance to resist at all. Frightened and annoyed, he shouted, "How dare you ......."
Feihong didn't pay attention to Wang Yongzhong anymore, but walked straight to Bi Ling, knelt down on her knees, and touched her chest with both hands, which was a big gift that only could be done to the sect leader. Feihong said: "The second princess is frightened. From now on, the rudder of Yunying will obey the orders of the second princess. ”
"You guys?" Bi Ling was also confused, she was originally a person who was ready to go to the execution ground, but she was suddenly respected back as the second princess.
Feihong took out Qinmei's bag, handed it to Bi Ling, and said, "Before the helmsman of Qinmei leaves, it has been arranged. Second princess, please see. ”
It turned out that Qin Mei hid a secret order in her bag: "Hong, you and I have worked together for many years, and we have always treated each other as sisters." Now I have a heart, I think about it, but you can trust it. As you said, the second princess killed the white-haired ice demon, and she was meritorious to the sect, and she was the adopted daughter of the first sect master, so she really couldn't die. Therefore, I want to go to the main altar alone, meet the sect leader, risk death to try, and intercede for the second princess. If you are blessed by the master, you will be fine; If the sect is angry, then my life and death are unpredictable. When you open this letter, I am afraid that something will happen, you must release the second princess quickly, and cooperate with the power of Yunying Rudder to ensure its safety. Remember! Remember! ”
After reading the secret order, Bi Ling's eyes couldn't help but moisten, and she hurriedly asked, "Where is the helmsman of Qinmei?" ”
Feihong turned back to Wang Yongzhong and shouted, "Say, where is the helmsman of Qinmei now?" ”
Wang Yongzhong's arrogance just now is gone, and only the frightened soul is left. He shrank his head and replied tremblingly: "The sect leader ordered the second princess to go to the main altar with the helmsman of Qinmei, but the helmsman of Qinmei refused, so the leader ordered the villain to come, and the helmsman of Qinmei ...... her."
"What's wrong with her?" Feihong asked.
Wang Yongzhong replied: "The sect leader has issued an assassination order against her. ”
"What?" Everyone was shocked. Feihong jumped up, grabbed Wang Yongzhong, stared at him with both eyes, and asked, "Has the helmsman been killed?" ”
How could Wang Yongzhong withstand such a fright? He almost peed his pants, tears flowed down his eyes, and he said: "The villain only knows that the sect leader changed the course of the Qinmei helmsman out of the cave and led her into the forbidden land, but I really don't know what happened to her now." ”
"Forbidden land?" This place that even Qinmei has never been to, Feihong is of course unheard of. However, in addition to the sect leader, the chief administrator, and the left and right wings, there is also someone who knows the forbidden place, and that is Bi Ling, who is the second princess.
Wang Yongzhong lay on the ground and shouted again and again: "The second princess spares her life!" The villain is just an order, and he knows so much. It's really none of the villain's business! ”
Feihong asked, "Second princess, what should I do with this person?" ”
Biling asked rhetorically, "Who is he?" ”
Feihong replied: "This person's surname is Wang, he is very reused by the sect master, and he was also given the name Yongzhong by the sect master, and his status is even above the helmsmen, and he is the youngest son of the late White Feather Messenger." ”
"What?" Bi Ling exclaimed, "You are the son of the White Feather Emissary? ”
Wang Yongzhong hurriedly responded: "Yes! The villain's father is the former White Feather Messenger. The second princess spares her life! ”
Bi Ling pointed at Wang Yongzhong, her eyes burst into flames, and she gritted her teeth and said, "The person who leaked the whereabouts of the five Eagle Feather Emissaries to my sister turned out to be you!" ”
"Huh?" Wang Yongzhong collapsed on the ground, he didn't expect that Bi Ling would know about it. He wanted to explain something, but he didn't know how.
As soon as Bi Ling thought of Xiong Batian, who died on the side of the Lancang River, she was angry and shouted, "I want to avenge the five Eagle Feather Messengers today!" ”
She casually drew a sword and stabbed straight through Wang Yongzhong's chest and out of his back. Wang Yongzhong only felt that his heart was cold. When the sword was drawn and blood splashed, Wang Yongzhong fell to the ground in response and died.
Bi Ling's mood was far from calm, and she couldn't wait to break into the main altar immediately. But Feihong stopped her and said, "The second princess is a little restless, the main altar is heavily guarded, and it may be difficult for us to break through alone." ”
Bi Ling said: "The life and death of the helmsman of Qinmei are unknown now, maybe she is waiting for us to save her!" ”
Feihong lowered his head and said, "If the sect leader intends to kill the helmsman, then the helmsman may have ...... by now."
Bi Ling shouted loudly: "The helmsman of Qinmei is suffering for me, how can I stand idly by? Even if she is killed, I will find her body! ”
Feihong knelt down in front of Bi Ling again and said, "Second princess, why don't your subordinates want to find the helmsman?" But if we attack rashly, it will be tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg! ”
Bi Ling said: "The helmsman of Qinmei is not afraid of death, how can I be afraid of death?" ”
Feihong said: "The helmsman left a secret order, just because he wanted his subordinates to protect the second princess. If the second princess talks lightly about life and death, won't she live up to the hard work of the helmsman? ”
Bi Ling asked rhetorically, "Are we going to give up like this?" ”
Feihong replied: "We can go back to Yunying Rudder Cottage first and think of a foolproof plan." ”
Bi Ling thought about it and gradually calmed down. In the face of the guards of the main altar, she can be somewhat sure, she should know better than anyone else. She couldn't help but sigh: "Alas! If Xinlan's left envoy is here, she will definitely have a good way. ”
Feihong asked: "Does the second princess know where Xinlan's left envoy is?" ”
Bi Ling shook her head and said, "She was seriously injured at the beginning, so she should have gone to Jiangnan to heal." ”
Feihong said, "That's great! Liuyun, the messenger of Jiangnan, belongs to the subordinates of Yunying Helm, and is loyal to the helmsman of Qinmei. I sent a message to her and asked her to help inquire about the whereabouts of Xinlan's left envoy, and I believe that there will be a reply within ten days. ”
Biling was overjoyed: "That's great! At this time, she remembered that there was still Yu Xiaowei, so she asked, "What about Yu Xiaowei?" ”
Feihong replied: "Second princess, please rest assured, the helmsman of Qinmei has instructed, don't embarrass him." I believe that he is now in the cottage and should be fine. It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, so let's go back to the cottage first, and then discuss. ”
So, Bi Ling continued to take the boat of Yunying Helm, and walked by water for another three days to reach the Yunying Helm Cottage. At this time, Chi Jin and Fu Ju, who were in the main altar, thought that Wang Yongzhong was going to Yunying Rudder Cottage to extract Biling, so although Wang Yongzhong did not return for a few days, they did not suspect it.
As soon as Bi Ling entered the cottage, she inquired where Yu Xiaowei was being held. The man in the helm said that according to Qin Mei's instructions, Yu Xiaowei was locked in a cave. Bi Ling hurriedly ran to the cave, but rushed in to take a look, but was stunned. The cave is the size of a room, and the cave has a skylight facing south, allowing direct sunlight to enter and illuminate the entire cave. In the center of the cave is a square table with four stools. The table was littered with cups and plates, piled up with leftover bones and fish bones. There were three or four small wine jars on the table. There is a stone bed on the north wall of the cave, the bed is covered with cowhide, the horns hang on the side of the bed, and the head of the bed is placed with tiger skin pillows. And what about Yu Xiaowei? is lying on the bed, carrying a wine bottle in one hand, slowly patting his high convex belly with the other, crossing Erlang's legs, shaking his head while humming a little song.
Seeing that Yu Xiaowei was so leisurely, a nameless fire broke out in Bi Ling's heart, and she shouted: "Hey! ”
Yu Xiaowei seemed to wake up from a sweet dream, looked around, and saw that Bi Ling was standing at the entrance of the cave, so he was surprised and delighted, and quickly got up, ran to Bi Ling, and said with a smile on his face: "Ling'er, it's really you!" They really sent you back! "It turned out that Feihong had sent someone to tell Yu Xiaowei what happened in Fairy Town in advance, so Yu Xiaowei was waiting for Biling here with peace of mind.
But Biling didn't feel happy at all, but slapped Xiao Wei in the face with a "snap", and shouted: "I'm still worried about you, you are so happy here!" With that, he turned around and left.
Yu Xiaowei touched his cheek, it was really painful, but he didn't understand why he was beaten at all.
The days in the Yunying Rudder Cottage were more painful ordeal for Bi Ling than on the ship. When she thought of Qinmei's uncertain life and death, she fidgeted, and the most she did was walk back and forth in the house.
Five days passed, and finally, one of his subordinates reported: "The left envoy has arrived." ”
This surprise was like a drought encountering Ganlin, which made Biling jump up and run to the hall quickly. I saw a young woman in a black gauze dress standing in the hall, wasn't that Xinlan?
Bi Ling shouted loudly: "Sister Xinlan, it's really you!" She jumped up to Xinlan excitedly and took Xinlan's hands.
Of course, Xinlan was also full of smiles and said, "Second princess, after your subordinates received your order, they ran non-stop for five days and five nights. Today, my subordinates finally see you again. ”
Bi Ling nodded: "Well, it's been half a year!" She looked at Xinlan's complexion, which was already more than ruddy, "Your poison has been cured?" ”
Xinlan said: "Thanks to the blessing of the second princess, there is no big problem. ”
Biling smiled even more: "Great! That's great! ”
Feihong, who had been standing aside, looked at the cheerful atmosphere in front of her and said, "The second princess is looking forward to Lord Zuo Envoy day and night!" ”
After hearing this, Xinlan's relaxed expression just now became solemn. She asked, "Second Princess, have you decided to return to religion now?" ”
Bi Ling also put away her smile, turned to contemplation, and said: "Actually, I didn't want to fight with my sister for anything, I just wanted to kill the white-haired ice demon, avenge my mother, and continue to roam the rivers and lakes." Since my sister wants to be the leader, let her do it. But she was going to put me to death. In order to protect me, Uncle Bear died, as did the other four Eagle Feather Emissaries; The helmsman of Qinmei is trapped in the forbidden place, and his life and death are unknown; Even Sister Xinlan, you, were injured because of me. At this point, the grievances between me and my sister are no longer up to me, and whether or not to return to religion is no longer my own business. ”
Xinlan smiled and patted Bi Ling's left shoulder and said, "You've grown up!" ”
Feihong asked, "What is the opinion of the Zuo Envoy?" ”
Xinlan said: "Right now, although the second princess has the support of the Yunying rudder, but compared to the eldest princess, the strength is still very weak, if it goes head-to-head, the second princess has little chance of winning, it is better to find a way to enter the main altar first, so that the major rudder controlled by the eldest princess has no time to support." ”
Feihong asked: "There are many checkpoints in the main altar, heavily guarded, easy to defend and difficult to attack, how can we get in?" ”
Xinlan looked at Biling and said, "Isn't there a ready-made reason for this?" The eldest princess had already ordered Yun Yingru to escort the second princess to the main altar, and we pretended to be the team escorting the second princess, and we should be able to blend into the main altar. ”
Feihong thought for a while and said, "However, even if we can blend into the main altar, according to the rules, most people can only stay on the boat, and there are only three or four people who can approach the Eagle King Palace, and I am afraid that only the second princess can enter the Eagle King Palace." There are not many of us, and if we are scattered again, it will be difficult to do anything. ”
Xinlan nodded and said, "If we go to the Eagle King Hall like this, we will definitely not succeed." To get to the Eagle King's Palace, we can take another path. ”
"Another way?" Bi Ling and Fei Hong asked in unison.
Qin Mei pointed at Bi Ling and said, "It's the forbidden place that the second princess just talked about." The forbidden place is the resting place of the first sect masters of my sect, and no one is allowed to enter without the permission of the sect master, so naturally few people know about it. This place is connected to the Eagle King Hall and also connected to the Fairy River. We only need to blend into the main altar first, turn around on the way to the Eagle King's Palace, and enter the Eagle King's Hall through the forbidden land, so that we can bypass the blue-clothed guards in front of the Eagle King's Palace. ”
Feihong said: "We have never been to the forbidden land, how can we know the way?" ”
Qin Mei smiled and said, "It's okay, I know the way." ”
Feihong nodded as she thought.
Bi Ling said to Feihong proudly: "How is it? I said that Sister Xinlan must have a way. ”
But Xinlan saw that Feihong was not as happy as Biling, but still frowned, so she asked, "Feihong altar master still has difficulties?" ”
Feihong said: "My subordinates are worried, since this is a forbidden place, we are all from the Eagle Sect, is it appropriate to break in?" ”
Xinlan waved her hand and said, "The Feihong Altar Master doesn't have to worry, I have just said that ordinary people are indeed not allowed to enter the forbidden land, except for those who have been authorized by the sect master. We are now doing the great thing of re-teaching, and the second princess is the successor of the sect leader that we support, as long as the second princess agrees, we will not be considered a violator. ”
Feihong suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "The words of the left envoy made his subordinates suddenly. In this way, the subordinates no longer have any doubts. It has been nearly 10 days since the eldest princess issued the escort order, and we must leave as soon as possible, otherwise, I am afraid that after a long delay, the eldest princess will become suspicious. ”
Bi Ling said, "Then we'll leave tonight!" ”
Xinlan smiled: "Second princess, don't be in a hurry at this time. Rest well tonight, and it's never too late to leave tomorrow morning. ”
At this moment, I suddenly heard someone shouting, "Wait, there is me!" It turned out to be Yu Xiaowei, who was panting and running in from outside.
As soon as Bi Ling saw Yu Xiaowei, the anger in her heart rose again, and she scolded: "What's the matter with you!" Go and enjoy your food and wine! ”
In these days, Yu Xiaowei has already been scolded helplessly by Bi Ling, and this time, he still doesn't know what to say. Feihong still interceded for him: "Second princess, I think Yu Shaoxia also knows that he is wrong." With him, after all, he can help us. ”
Bi Ling pursed her mouth and said, "Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that this princess focused on the overall situation, she would ignore you!" ”
Another night has fallen, and this is Bi Ling's last night in this cottage, and it is also a night full of anxiety and tension, because a decisive battle that will determine the fate of the Eagle Cult is about to begin. On such a night, there is only one person who can still sleep soundly, and he is Yu Xiaowei.
