Boom -
Outside the palace gate, thousands of lights, bright fireworks into the sky, illuminating the whole earth, even if the palace is turbulent, the world is chaotic, but the people still follow the tradition, full of expectations and hopes for the new year. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yuan Yeol looked sideways at the crown prince and said softly, "Happy New Year, Your Highness." The prince looked back at Yuan Lie with a smile, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, raised his head to look at the sky, and thought silently in his heart.
- Happy New Year, Yang Xi.
Wherever you are, be safe.
An Ning fell to the cold ground and heard the sound of bones shattering.
Su He's body was below, smashing directly on the ground, instinctively protecting her in his arms and fainting.
In the darkness, only the wheezing of wild beasts could be heard, flickering far and near, wandering around. Before she could think clearly, she suddenly saw something in the darkness, and her eyes were open, panting and trying to pounce on her, emitting a fishy smell.
It was the roar of the beasts, and the sound of their claws scraping against the ground.
Before she had time to feel the fear, An Ning suddenly felt a pain in her brain and dizzy, and her body suddenly collapsed, falling into the darkness, and finally fainted completely.
After a long time, the sound of water dripping could be heard.
There was a dead silence all around.
An Ning opened her eyes, she was lying on her back on the cold ground, she couldn't see her fingers in the dark, the impact of the impact was too big, her brain was dizzy, Su He's hand was tightly clasped around her waist, and she was almost in his arms.
Did she break a bone?
She raised her hand, and the sticky liquid, filled with the smell of blood, was blood—they had just eaten a full meal, and she and Su He happened to land on a pile of flesh, and now they were covered in blood. The sound of broken bones just now was also from the pile of stump flesh.
She tried to stand up and examined it, and it was a blessing that there were no broken bones except for some flesh wounds. She got up and pulled the dagger from her wrist and sheathed it around herself. With her left hand, she groped for her calf, where she remembered hiding a fire fold.
She lit the fire and her eyes lit up.
The beasts in the darkness took a step back in fright at the sudden light. There are lions, cheetahs, wild wolves......
Their eyes glowed with a faint, hungry glow, ten paces away from her, with chains around their necks or legs.
It was a huge stone chamber with an altar suspended in mid-air, supported by iron chains and suspended over her head. The stone chamber is full of joints, and at the bottom, there is a clearing.
As soon as she moved, the beasts rushed at her in a commotion, their chains pulled tightly and trying to reach her with their claws.
An Ning was terrified, and suddenly, a long wolf howl came from the darkness.
The beasts fell silent, as if commanded, and went to their corners and crouched, some bowing their heads and gnawing on flesh and human bones, others licking their hair, as if their ferocious beasts had suddenly been contained.
The fire in An Ning's hand became smaller and smaller, and the surroundings slowly darkened. An Ning threw the fire into the pile of flesh and blood, and she remembered that there was a punishment written in the war book, which was to light a sky lantern. People eat meat, and their bodies can burn like candles.
The fire fell on the pile of flesh, and after a while, it burst into flames, and the light became brighter, illuminating the entire stone chamber.
The stone walls were covered with moss, and water leaked in, and fresh air came in, accumulating into small pools, and the water dripped on the stones, making the sound of water dripping. No wonder she could hear the sound of water when she was unconscious.
And Su He is no longer by her side.
A long trail of blood spread out from the pile of blood beside her, as if something had been dragged away, leaving a blood-red trail along the way.
- Su He was dragged away.
Her heart was cold, although Su He's life or death didn't matter to her, but it was better to have a living person by her side than nothing, at this moment she was alone, and her fear was magnified a little.
The blood stains that Su He had been dragged away came to an abrupt end in front of the stone wall.
There must be an outlet for the organs. An Ning thought to himself. But she was in the middle of the stone chamber, with only a small space to move, and every step she took would arouse the vigilance of the beast, and she couldn't go anywhere.
Where is Suhe, and who dragged him away?
She suddenly reacted, what if some other beast dragged him away? There should be a beast that is absolutely able to move freely.
As soon as the thought came to her, she heard a hissing growl behind her.
She turned around abruptly and fell down.
A white shadow passed over her head and landed on the rock.
A snow-white wolf.
It has a pair of blue eyes that glow blue.
The fire gradually went out, and the surroundings slowly fell into darkness again.
The apse of the palace of the queen of Beijung, there is a passage to the underground palace mechanism.
Yang Zheming stood at the door, and the golden finch whispered behind him, "Although we are aware of each other's existence, you also know that the nine clans almost never communicate with each other. I don't embarrass him, and he doesn't interfere with me. She paused and sighed: "No one has ever seen his face, and even Su Ying rarely mentions him." ”
The priests of Beijon have rarely been seen in front of people, except for major festivals. In the legends of the people of Beirong, the legends about his deeds are also varied, strange and magical. But the only thing that is certain is that the people believe that he has the luck of Beirong, and according to historical records, there are priests around the first king of Beirong.
In fact, the priests did not control luck, but the "organs" that kept the king's capital safe. With the organs in hand, they protect the safety of this royal capital, and also protect the stability of Beirong's regime, helping this nation to become stronger day by day.
Yongdao stretched out his hand and couldn't see his five fingers, it was dark and gloomy, and the black-clothed people with excellent light skills kept testing the mechanism, and a lot of hidden weapons were issued, Yang Zheming asked them to consume the hidden weapons at the entrance of the tunnel, as for the subsequent mechanisms, they could only talk about it after they entered.
Jiaoyue said with a disagreement on her face: "Do you really want to go in?" "Princess An Ning may have died early, and it would be good to negotiate with him when Su An took power and subdued the priest.
Yang Zheming didn't hear it, turned around and said to Su An: "The power of the royal capital still needs to be cleaned up, and when the day dawns, the generals from all over the world will come to see them, and when the time comes, you must subdue their military power, and if you can't accept them, you must find a way to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so as not to leave future troubles." After hearing this, Su An nodded seriously, and frowned: "Why don't we wait until dawn before going in?" ”
Yang Zheming shook his head: "It's too late." He read all the history books of Beijung, and there was a very interesting legend about the priests of Beijung. Since the priest was able to jump down, he would not let the fourth prince Su He and Yang Xi die so quickly, and when things took a turn for the better, he had time to save Yang Xi.
That legend is a life-saving talisman for Yang Xi, but after a long time, it is tantamount to a life-saving talisman.
He had to go in, or she really wouldn't have a chance to live.
He only wished he could have it.
