Even at this time, Zhao Yuan still had a glimmer of hope in his heart - the queen, concubine and princess of Daqi would naturally be blessed by the country, how could they die so easily?
Isn't it true that he was able to reach the position of Emperor of Great Qi step by step in exchange for escaping death many times? Without seeing the queen's corpse with his own eyes, he could never believe that the queen would die in such a strange way. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
So Zhao Yuan did not listen to the persuasion of the people around him, did not rest at all, went out of the account again, and went straight to the chain bridge.
When he arrived at the bridge, Zhao Yuan saw that as the county order said, this iron chain bridge, said to be a bridge, was actually just five or six wrist-thick iron cables built together. Due to the long distance, these iron cables constantly vibrate with the wind.
As soon as Li Xiang saw it, he didn't wait for Zhao Yuan to speak, so he first blocked his body in front: "Your Majesty, forgive the ministers for being rude." This bridge is fashionable and trembling when no one climbs it, and if someone goes up, I am afraid that it will shake even more. Beneath the iron rope is a bottomless valley, such a dangerous path, the emperor must not easily try. ”
Zhao Yuan didn't speak, walked to the edge of the bridge and looked at the place where the iron cables were fixed, and found that each iron cable was fixed in the rock with three large iron nails with the thickness of a bowl.
"It's okay, I still have confidence in my kung fu." After Zhao Yuan finished speaking, he didn't want to stop for a moment and walked to the chain bridge.
"Your Majesty, slow down!" Li Xiang jumped in front of Zhao Yuan with a strong step: "This matter is still confusing, so it cannot be ruled out that someone deliberately created such a situation to lure the emperor into this lonely castle." Therefore, the minister was willing to take 100 people to cross the chain bridge to the vicinity of the lonely fort first, clear the obstacles for the emperor, and ensure the safety of the emperor when he arrived. ”
Zhao Yuan waved his hand at him: "Go ahead." ”
Li Xiang led more than 100 good guards to walk slowly and the chain bridge, and it took about half an hour for them all to walk over.
Zhao Yuan saw that they had passed and that nothing unusual had happened, so he walked forward along the iron rope without hesitation.
It is said that it should not be difficult to walk this chain bridge with Zhao Yuan's martial arts, but he was tired from running around for days, and he was holding a bad breath in his heart, so that Zhao Yuan stepped on the air a few times in the process of advancing. However, Li Xiang and the county magistrate, who were standing on both sides of the chain bridge, were scared out of a cold sweat.
When he reached the middle of the chain bridge, Zhao Yuan was already familiar with the rules of walking on it, and his pace became more and more steady. Just as the people guarding on both sides of the chain bridge were secretly relieved, only the emperor could pass smoothly. Suddenly, a whirlwind blew from the valley, and the wind swept the dust and came straight to the chain bridge.
The bridge, which is made of iron chains, is extremely unstable, and it sways when there is no wind, let alone in the wind.
Zhao Yuan's gust of wind hit his cheeks like a knife, and the several iron cables under his feet moved more and more violently, almost throwing Zhao Yuan down. Zhao Yuan knew that this wind was coming, and he had been waiting for it in his heart. So before the wind came, he had clamped the two iron cables with his feet, and held the other iron rope tightly in his chest with both hands.
With a timely response, when the wind swept through the chain bridge with a cloud of dust, although Zhao Yuan was blown so that he couldn't open his eyes, his body always maintained his balance and there was no danger.
After the heart-pounding wind blowing, the valley suddenly seemed to change the sky, the wind and the sun rose, and the breeze was gentle, like a light veil blowing on the face. Zhao Yuan opened his eyes, spit out the sand in his mouth, and looked at the suddenly sunny weather in the valley, but he felt a heavy sense of loss in his heart. He didn't dare to think about it further, just stared intently at the iron rope under his feet, and walked towards the lonely castle step by step.
After walking the whole way of the chain bridge, Zhao Yuan's feet were still coming down from the iron cable, and Li Xiang had already stretched out his arm and waited there. Zhao Yuan did not support Li Xiang's arm, but walked down from the iron rope by himself.
As soon as his feet hit the ground, he couldn't wait to look around at the lonely fortress. Sure enough, as the county decree said, there was a three-story wooden building to the west of the lonely fort, and it was so quiet that there was no sound at all, and even the birds in the mountains and forests would consciously bypass it when they flew here, and it seemed that they didn't want to stay here for a while at all.
Zhao Yuan, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, recognizes this silence. At the end of the war, when one side is completely annihilated and the other side comes to clean up the battlefield, you will feel this silence that is chilling to the bone.
He waved his big hand with a cold expression: "Go east!" ”
Li Xiang stood up again to stop him: "Your Majesty, you can see that there is still a faint green smoke rising in the east courtyard, which shows that the fire in the east courtyard has not been completely extinguished. If the emperor wants to pass, please think twice! ”
After Zhao Yuan helped Li Xiang up, he didn't say any more greetings. His eyebrows were so gloomy that he was almost dripping water, pushed away Li Xiang, who was still persuading, and strode towards the courtyard to the east.
In the middle of the lonely castle, the road to the eastern courtyard is mostly a stone plank carved into the cliff, and anyone who walks on it must be careful.
When the plank road is finished, I saw a stone road with more than 100 steps in front of me, and on both sides of the stone road are lush artemisia grass that grows more than one person tall.
Zhao Yuan was anxious at this time, and when he saw the steps, he strode forward. After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and stood there steadily.
Behind him, Li Xianggang wanted to step forward and ask the emperor why he didn't leave, but he saw Zhao Yuanyi raise his hand and signal the people who followed him not to make a sound. Everyone understood, they all held their breath, and they didn't dare to come out.
The surroundings fell silent for a moment, and at this time, a weak voice was heard flutteringly: "Help...... Help me! Help me! ”
Zhao Yuan and the others suddenly widened their eyes, carefully judging where this small voice came from, and finally they heard that this voice was floating from the artemisia grass next to the steps.
Immediately, several of his attendants jumped into the artemisia grass and searched for it carefully.
Soon an attendant raised his hand in the artemisia grass and said, "There are two people here!" ”
When Zhao Yuan heard this, he couldn't take care of it, and just wanted to jump over with light skills, but he was afraid that the situation was unknown and hurt the people in the artemisia grass, so he had to be patient and move forward step by step in the grass.
At this time, Zhao Yuan's heart was like being fished out of an ice cave and put into hot water, in addition to excitement, there was also a little fog: "Didn't the county order say that it had been carefully searched yesterday?" There is no living room in this lonely castle. Now that someone is suddenly shouting for help, is it really a fluke among the queen's group on the northern tour? Or are the nearby villagers trapped here by mistake in the lonely fort? If it is really the queen and her party, which two of them will survive? ”
