25.Chapter 25
Xie Ying suddenly raised his hand to cover his neck, and when he moved his hand away, the red mark had disappeared without a trace.
Lu Sheng said in a trembling voice: "Xie, Xie Ying, what happened ......?"
Xie Ying laughed at herself: "It's me who underestimated the enemy." ”
Before he finished speaking, a whistling sound broke through the air from far and near, as if countless rocks had smashed on the roof and door wall, accompanied by a crackling sound, and the scorching smoke of the wood burning spread in all directions.
This is an enemy attack, not a ghost, Lu Sheng is naturally fearless, he should become fast, he lifted his skirt and rushed towards the outside of the auditorium, Ruoxia and Ruodie were pale, shrunk in the corner and trembled, a few arrows with fire pierced through the window paper, and were deeply nailed into the wooden table and several cases, and the strips of cloth wrapped around the arrows were soaked in fire oil, and the hunt burned. There is a heat wave on the outside and smoke in the room.
Lu Sheng immediately kicked over the round table, used it as a shield, bent forward, rolled the round table to block the two girls, took the hanging pot from Ruoxia's hand, and said: "Go in quickly and take care of your son-in-law." ”
Ruoxia was still a little calm, nodded slightly, and then used the round table to cover it, and dragged Ruodie, who was almost unable to move, into the auditorium.
A fiery rain of arrows fell again, Lu Sheng pulled out the hanging pot, the momentum of his whole body changed suddenly, the tip of the sword flickered, turning into countless stars, shooting down all the rockets that came in front of him.
Then he dodged to the window where the arrow rain was most dense, and shouted: "Cao Lusheng, the director of the Qingming Department of the 12th Battalion of the Yulin Army, is here, who actually committed murder at the feet of the Son of Heaven?!" ”
Ten zhang away from the small courtyard, it has been surrounded by the palace guards, and the two teams of guards take turns to draw their bows, commanded by a military general wearing pitch black armor, and the military general shouted briefly: "Release the arrow!" ”
The guards let go, and in an instant, flames and meteors flew up in the sky, shooting into the courtyard one after another.
Fortunately, the houses in that courtyard were made of wood and stone, and they were mainly made of bricks and stones, and they did not burn very vigorously, but in the long run, the people in that courtyard were bound to die in the fire and have nowhere to escape.
King Chu Yu sat still in his steps, his eyes were indifferent and gloomy looking at the fire rising in the small courtyard, and he was no longer as tolerant and humble as when he met Xie Ying and Lu Sheng.
Surrounded by guards, a Taoist stood beside Buyu, wearing a Taoist robe covered with wild grass, his gray hair was scattered over his shoulders, and his long white beard fluttered all over his chest. Holding the wooden box of red lacquer and gold leaf in his hand, he recited in a low voice, and in the eight directions around the small courtyard, there was a faint green fine light lit up, suspended in the air, winding like leaf veins, and gradually showing the trend of enveloping the small courtyard.
When the firelight shines, the green light turns from weak to strong, as if drawing energy from it, spreading faster and faster.
Seeing that the green light was about to close over the small courtyard, King Chu Yu's expression became more and more solemn, but there was a sudden noise in the distance.
Liu Fu whispered in the ear of King Chu Yu: "Lord Wang, you are the county lord. ”
King Chu Yu frowned slightly, but he still got up from Buyu, passed through the guards, and came to the periphery of the encirclement.
It was Sima Qian who bore the first of them, and Wenxiu led a group of palace guards to guard closely behind him, confronting the surrounding guards.
Seeing King Chu Yu appearing, Sima Qian hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Grandfather, these minions are really bold and dare to stop the county lord. ”
The palace guards were all from good families, and when they heard the word slave at this time, their faces changed, and they all glared at Sima Qian, but Sima Qian didn't pay attention to it at all, only stared at King Chu Yu, and said word by word: "Grandfather, Xie Ying is the eldest son of the Hou of Weinan after the Xie family of Chen County." ”
King Chu Yu said, "Qian'er, has your father woken up today?" ”
Sima Qian's momentum suddenly leaked ninety percent, lowered her eyes, and hesitated: "No, I haven't ......."
King Chu Yu sighed: "The fate of my Chu Yu Palace's hundred years is tied to this, Qian'er, step down, and accompany your mother to guard your father, if this matter goes well, your father will be able to wake up tonight." ”
Sima Qian said in a trembling voice: "Grandfather, granddaughter don't understand......"
King Chu Yu's voice suddenly said sternly: "You don't have to understand, Wenxiu, don't you escort the county lord back to the room?" ”
Wen Xiu hesitated slightly, so he had to bow behind Sima Qian and say, "County Lord, please go back to the room." ”
Sima Qian's face was pale, her chest rose and fell, and finally she still said dejectedly: "Yes, grandfather." ”
King Chu Yu saw that the guards escorted the county lord away, so he turned around and turned back to the side of Buyu, and then heard a young man shouting from the courtyard: "...... Who is committing murder at the feet of the Son of Heaven?! ”
The black-armored military general immediately raised his hand to stop his subordinates from releasing arrows, and frowned: "This kid is Wei Su's disciple?" ”
King Chu Yu asked in a deep voice: "Yuan Zhenren, can this person stay?" ”
The white-bearded Taoist slowly stroked his beard, closed his eyes and pinched his fingers, and counted before saying, "It's useless to keep it, and it's useless to kill it." ”
King Chu Yu bowed his head and said: "Wei Su is extremely difficult, so there is no need to make extraneous branches, let him out." ”
The black-armored general waved his hand to the soldiers beside him, and the soldiers understood, and raised his voice: "Lu Gongcao, General Lu was ordered to arrest the felons who trespassed into the palace, and they have nothing to do with Gong Cao. ”
Lu Sheng secretly clenched his back molars, but he only felt a burning anger in his heart.
King Chu Yu invited Xie Ying to remove the spirit, and specially prepared this small courtyard, but now he sent troops to surround the courtyard, but all of them were set up for Xie Ying, the sinister intentions and the viciousness of the means were unheard of by Lu Sheng.
He sneered: "I left, what will happen to the rest of the people in the courtyard?" ”
The soldier said: "Lu Gongcao doesn't have to worry, this matter is under the control of General Lu, and he will not let the repeat offender escape from the palace." Lu Gongcao, the situation is urgent, please come out quickly, so as not to be injured by mistake. ”
Lu Sheng saw that the flying arrows stopped, and cautiously looked out through the charred paper window, in the deep night, the torches spread out little by little, at first glance there were hundreds of people, with him and Xie Ying, how could they break out? What's more, Xie Ying seems to have fallen for the plot, and I don't know what is going on now.
He didn't feel that his heart was getting hotter and hotter, if it wasn't for the king of Chu Yu to invite him into the mansion, why would Xie Ying be implicated by him? Although he didn't know the purpose of this prince, his determination to put Xie Ying to death was now clear and undisguised.
Lu Sheng raised his voice again: "I entered the palace with Xie Ying, so naturally I will also ...... together."
Before he finished speaking, he was suddenly intercepted by Ruoxia, and the maid whispered: "Baoyang Gongzi, and promise to come down first, my son-in-law has something to discuss with you." ”
Lu Sheng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly settled down as if he had found the backbone of the main heart, and said to the window: "Let me ...... Consider. ”
Outside the courtyard, King Chu Yu frowned slightly, but the black-armored general said: "After the general respects your mentor is loyal and good, he will only give you half a pillar of incense time, if you are obsessed, you will be to blame!" ”
Immediately, a guard brought an incense stick and lit it, and King Chu Yu frowned unconsciously and said, "General Lu, if you delay it like this, you are afraid that you will have a long night and many dreams." ”
The black-armored general was majestic, slammed a big sword on the ground, and his face was hidden behind the pitch-black mask, and even his voice reverberated with a deep echo, and the urn said angrily: "But a mortal boy can't make waves." Yuan Zhenren, what do you say? ”
The man closed his eyes and said: "My Divine Power Immortal Array is specially designed to deter Xuanshi, that Yu Lin Lang is just a mortal fetus, a mortal man, it doesn't hurt to stay for a moment more or a moment less." General Lu is loyal and righteous, and letting him live is also to accumulate blessings for the prince. ”
King Chu Yu and these two people also cooperated with each other, although they were unhappy, seeing that the general insisted on acting, they had to remain silent.
Lu Sheng had already returned to the auditorium, and saw Xie Ying sitting under the red silk pillar, his face was bloodless, as if it was carved from ice and snow, he hurriedly took two steps forward, squatted in front of Xie Ying, grabbed one of his hands, and suddenly the tentacles were cold, making him gasp and say, "Xie Ying, what's going on?" ”
Ruoxia Ruodie stayed aside, crying silently, Ruodie gritted her teeth and said: "I don't know where the stinky Taoist priest came from, he actually set a trap to kill my son-in-law!" ”
Lu Sheng said angrily: "That old man is so vicious! Xie Ying, it's better to release that ghost and tell him to go to King Chu Yu to settle accounts! ”
Xie Ying's face was as white as frost, but he suddenly chuckled, "That ghost is not mentally complete, he can't see others, and he will only chase you to get married." ”
As if in response, Yun Ye roared in the cage again: "Ning Ning! Ningning! "I don't know a word except for this name.
Lu Sheng's back was cold, he gritted his teeth and grabbed Xie Ying's hand, and said in a panic: "This is going to ...... How is it good? ”
Xie Ying said: "Lu Sheng, you go." ”
Lu Sheng said angrily: "I'm not leaving!" What kind of man am I if I forsake you now! ”
Xie Ying said: "What's the hurry...... Hear me out. ”
Lu Sheng had no choice but to listen.
Xie Ying asked softly, "Baoyang, are you willing to take a risk for me?" ”
Lu Sheng's heart moved, grabbed Xie Ying's hand tightly, and responded in a deep voice: "Ru, Ruyun, I am naturally willing, go to the soup and go to the fire, and I will not give up!" ”
Xie Ying suddenly chuckled, closed his eyes and said, "I don't love this word, it sounds harsh." ”
When Lu Sheng first called him to express his words, he was also stunned for a while, and said: "I can't call you Xie Ying just over and over again, it's too ...... Raw points. ”
Xie Ying said: "...... I heard that my mother called me Ah Ying. ”
Lu Sheng was puzzled, and subconsciously asked, "I heard?" ”
Xie Ying said: "My mother has passed away for many years. ”
Lu Sheng remembered his father and mother, and he was immediately sad and cordial, only to feel that he met Xie Ying, as if he was destined by God. He whispered, "Ah Ying, how do you want me to behave, just tell me." ”
The corners of Xie Ying's lips hooked slightly, and then he said, "Come here with your ears." ”
Lu Sheng did as he said, and when he approached, he felt that this noble son was cold and awake with incense, but it smelled very good, his breath was on the side of his ears, crispy and itchy, but his words were solemn, but Lu Sheng ignored the ambiguous breath and looked solemn.
The half-pillar incense kung fu passed in a blink of an eye, and King Chu Yu saw that the incense had been burned, and immediately said: "General Lu, the time has come." ”
General Lu looked at the courtyard where there was no movement, only the burning oil, and slowly raised his hand, and was about to wave, but the door suddenly creaked open.
Lu Sheng stood at the door with a calm face, like a door god, and said astringently: "I'm going to ...... Leave. ”
The guards' eyes lit up, and they saw a dressed beauty holding a sharp sword, stepping out of a raging fire, dressed in red, but her posture was extremely sharp.
Even the pro-soldier expected Ai Ai to ask: "Come, the one who came is Lu Sheng Lu Gongcao?" ”
Lu Sheng encountered great changes one after another, where did he still remember his phoenix crown and glow, his head was full of pearls, and he only said angrily: "Naturally it's me!" ”
The soldiers did not dare to speak again, and the guards once again opened their bows and arrows, and when General Lu gave the order, they would light the arrows on the torches and continue to besiege the courtyard.
Lu Sheng remembered Xie Ying's advice, held his breath and calculated the direction and footsteps, and as soon as he arrived at the position, he suddenly stumbled and fell, like pushing a mountain of gold and a jade pillar, which made half of the guards scared, and almost couldn't help but rush up to help him.
When he fell, Lu Sheng took advantage of the situation to backhand the pestle sword, and the seemingly ordinary saber pierced the bluestone floor in one breath and disappeared into it.
Yuan Zhenren suddenly exclaimed: "Not good! ”
Before the words fell, I only heard bursts of crackling and crisp sounds coming from around the blade, as if something had been destroyed, and the red light on the hanging pot skyrocketed, like a bright red spider web, quickly eating away at the dark green light shroud that shrouded the house.
