Chapter 674: Strange Encounters
In the dense forest in front of the canyon, broken trees and stumps abounded, and the air was filled with a fishy smell, and the soldiers who had been killed were scattered everywhere, it was not difficult to imagine the chaos here when attacked. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Tianqi looked at it for a while, and he already understood in his heart that nine times out of ten, it must be a premeditated attack planned by General Yuan in the back.
Does the emperor know? Or did General Yuan deliberately do it for Xu Shaoyu?
Thinking that General Yuan once controlled a sharp monster like the Millennium Tree Demon, and had ill intentions, it was really worrying, if it was deliberately instructed by today's son, wouldn't it be ...... Li Tianqi didn't dare to continue thinking about it.
Yang Wen frowned and checked it, but he didn't see that he was ugly.
He walked back and said to Li Tianqi: "It can be seen that it was done by monsters, but those Nanzhao people don't have such means, and they really can't think of who did it." β
Li Tianqi said: "General Yang, do you remember that something similar happened in Chang'an City......
Yang Wen shook his head and said, "No, what?" β
"Oh." Li Tianqi thought to himself that it must have been General Yuan who blocked the news, so he said: "I may be mistaken. These people are supposed to have been killed by the Millennium Dryad. β
"Millennial Dryad?" Yang Wen slammed the iron spear in his hand to the ground, "There is such a sharp monster near Chang'an City?" This ......"
"General Yang, there should be a big conspiracy against the royal family brewing, you should be careful and pay attention to protecting the county lord." Li Tianqi said casually.
"How?" Yang Wen asked, "What news have you heard?" β
Li Tianqi looked at the guards standing behind Yang Wen and said, "Just be careful, as for the details, I can't tell you the details, some things are not good for you." β
Yang Wen said, "Hmm." I see. You have to pay attention to it, too. β
"Howl-" A deafening howl suddenly came from the canyon, and the ears of everyone present felt the strength of the sound, and some even felt nausea and dizziness.
"What's going on?"
"Everyone, be careful!"
"Protect the General!"
Hundreds of soldiers clenched their weapons and hugged Yang Wen in the center,
Yang Wen raised the iron spear and said loudly: "Wait for the city to return to the city as soon as possible, and General Ben will go to investigate and see who the demons are causing trouble in the city." β
The hundreds of soldiers said in unison: "I want to go with the general!" β
Yang Wen glanced back at Li Tianqi and found that he nodded slightly in agreement to investigate, so he said, "The army listened to the order and followed General Ben into the canyon. Let's go! β
"Order!" Although those soldiers had scruples, they still did not hesitate in the face of major rights and wrongs.
Not long after entering the canyon, they saw many footprints on a sandy field, from which hundreds of Nanzhao soldiers retreated.
The dark clouds rolled in, gathering thicker and thicker, and the weather became more gloomy, but there was still no wind blowing, but it was even more depressing.
"General! Hundreds of feet ahead, the corpse of a Turkic soldier was found, just like those soldiers of our army. Suddenly, a sentinel soldier rushed forward to report the situation to Yang Wen.
"Oh?" Yang Wen waved his hand and said, "Everyone stay where you are for a while, you, quickly lead the way." β
"Yes." The soldier turned and stepped forward.
Yang Wen and Li Tianqi followed him to the place where the situation was discovered, and sure enough, the situation of the "Turkic soldiers" was indeed the same as the situation encountered by the Tang soldiers, and it seemed that they must have been poisoned by the thousand-year-old tree demon.
Yang Wen immediately ordered to continue on his way.
More than 100 people meandered through the canyon, and one after another found the enemy soldiers lying in pools of blood, and it seemed that they had been attacked here, and their swords, guns, halberds, and flags were all scattered all over the place.
"Helpβ" A faint cry for help came from a bush not far away.
"Quick!"
Several Tang soldiers immediately drew their sabers, went to search, and carried out a bloodstained man in Turkic uniform in the grass.
When I came to Yang Wen and the others, I saw that the man said in stiff Chinese: "General help!" β
Seeing that he had caught a live mouth, Yang Wen couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "Who are you?" Why do you disguise yourself as a Turk? β
The man trembled, and he didn't hide it anymore, and said with a trembling: "We are all Nanzhao people, and we were ordered to attack Jincheng in disguise as Turks, deliberately revealing flaws and leaving obvious traces. β
Sure enough, Yang Wen already had a plan in his heart, "Okay." Your wishful thinking will already be known. Now, what happened to you here? β
The man said, "General, get out of here quickly, there is an ominous thing here, which specializes in sucking human flesh, and it is extraordinary." There was a look of extreme fear in his words.
Yang Wen looked at the sky, thinking that he had been caught alive this time, and it was inconvenient to stay here for a long time, so he could go back and interrogate this person in detail, so he said: "Seeing that you are eager to live, you shouldn't take poison, right?" β
The man swallowed and said, "The poison has been thrown away." The little ones are willing to live. β
Yang Wen smiled, "It depends on whether you are honest or not." The army listened to the order, and we immediately withdrew to the city. Keep an eye on him! β
The people withdrew to the city before the storm came, and as soon as they were settled, the downpour began to fall.
Li Tianqi walked around with pain, and at this time he was sleepy and tired, so he went back to the residence arranged by Yang Wen to rest.
It was a small hut next to the tent of the Chinese army, and although it was small, it was also comfortable.
Li Tianqi lay on his side on the bed, took out the golden seal badge of the Black Fish Hall Master from his arms again, took it in front of him and observed it carefully, and suddenly found a line of extremely scribbled fly-headed small characters carved with his fingers next to a line: The badge is fraudulent! Black......
What do you mean?
Li Tianqi saw this line of warning words, he suddenly lost his sleepiness, turned over and sat up, there were no words after the black letters, it seems that the person who wrote the words was very hurried when he left these words, it was to warn, needless to say, the person who left the words was the master of the Black Fish Hall, he must have found something to leave such words on the badge.
He took out his gold seal badge from his bosom and looked at it carefully, except for a few scratches, there was nothing special.
Suddenly, an ominous premonition came to his heart, could it be that this thing was cast by a spell to reveal its location?
Otherwise, why is it so coincidental?
Li Tianqi remembered that he was intercepted by demons repeatedly, and he remembered all the things from a few years ago, and he felt more and more that it would be like this.
When Master Xilin appeared on that island, but was later rescued by Su Gan Chengji, could it be a coincidence?
Could it be that his tracks have always been in the hands of the Shadow Demon?
Thinking about it this way, he immediately understood the meaning of the aphorism left by Sun Bozhong, the head of the Black Fish Hall, which must be like this, he wrapped the two badges in a piece of cloth, used his fingers to pry out a square brick on the wall, hollowed it out, put the two badges in, and then reinstalled the brick back into the wall.
Since his whereabouts may be exposed at any time, he should leave quietly at this time. Yang Wen has been working under the prince's mansion, and the golden seal badge is hidden here, so it won't cause him any inconvenience.
When you come back later, if the Golden Seal Badge is missing, it proves that they were actually deliberately done by Shadow Trace.
Thinking of this, Li Tianqi used his fingers to leave a farewell message to Yang Wen on the wooden table, and asked the soldiers guarding the door to take a coat and hat, put it on, and quietly left by using the method of retreat.
Thunder was rolling in the sky, and silver snakes were dancing.
Li Tianqi, who was shuttling underground, was not affected at all, although the injury affected his agility, but it did not stop his heart from moving forward.
It wasn't until the sound of the thunderstorm faded that he jumped out of the ground, and in front of him was a vast meadow with a rainbow hanging diagonally in the air. The air is exceptionally fresh and invigorating.
He originally wanted to go to Chang'an, but under many clues, he didn't know where he came at this time.
There was still a drizzle in the sky, but the sun on the west slope had already emerged from the ethereal clouds and shone on the earth.
Everywhere there is a crystal clear scene.
Suddenly, several white shadows jumped out in front of them, and a dozen or so white-clothed women wearing hats were chasing and killing a white-clothed girl running in front of them.
The girl in white had her hair fluttering, and from time to time she turned around and used a hidden weapon to greet the woman who followed closely behind, but she only blocked those people for a while, and she still couldn't get rid of them.
When the girl in white ran in, Li Tianqi was stunned, and the person who came was actually Meng Geyuan. Didn't she follow Xu Shaoyu? Why is it here again?
Li Tianqi already had a chivalrous heart, and when he saw more than a dozen people chasing her, he was arrogant, and jumped up with a shout to stop those pursuers.
"Is that you?" Meng Geyuan saw Li Tianqi and showed a look of surprise.
Li Tianqi nodded, and then looked at the person who was chasing her, it didn't matter, but he found that the other party was Bermuda.
Bermuzhen thought that the person wearing a cloak and a hat was sacred, but she found that it was Li Tianqi, and her expression also changed a little.
"It turned out to be your ......" Bermuda said: "Li Tianqi, don't come to harm." β
Li Tianqi said: "It's okay." Why did you hunt down this girl? β
Bermuda said, "There's nothing to say about apostates. Besides, she has a personal vendetta with me. β
Meng Geyuan said coldly: "What kind of apostasy is not for personal grudges, it's really ridiculous!" β
Bermuzhen said: "There is no need to say more. Li Gongzi, you came just in time, so let's go to the sect leader with me. β
Li Tianqi said: "I just want to learn again." β
Bermuzhen smiled coldly and waved her hand, and the white-clothed women behind her surrounded them in the middle.
Li Tianqi lowered his voice and said to Meng Geyuan: "Miss Meng, where is Xu Shaoyu?" β
Meng Geyuan said: "He went to do big things, I was so bored that I came out for a walk, but I didn't expect it to ......."
Bai Muzhen said: "I have always remembered your great kindness, Li Gongzi, but now I can't help myself, but I can't help it!" β
With that, he jumped over and slapped his palms at the two of them.
