Zhao Ji felt that this was simply unreasonable, and said irritably: "But this way is not working." ”

"His Royal Highness King Duan," Ye Langxing frowned and smiled, "Why do you always think about doing things within the rules? ”

"Destruction?Even Chu Li's arrow can't destroy it, Ye Zhutou, aren't you also honestly walking in the maze?" Zhao Ji smiled bitterly, "Are you going to think of a way here temporarily?" No way, it's so high, so slippery, so cold...... It's so hard. ”

"Yes, I believe that if Ye Zhutou said that there is a way, then he really has a way. Wang Chuli walked up to him, touched the ice wall in front of him, turned his head to look at him, and said, "Otherwise, do you have to believe you? You have the ability to 'see through', walk around the maze for a day and a night and then come out, isn't it? Time is wasted by you, isn't it?"

"It does seem to make sense...... Zhao Ji glanced at the gloom on her face, and hurriedly bowed to her subconsciously, saying, "It's my fault, it's my fault! Sister Chuli is right! I listen to you!"

As he bowed, he heard a crackling sound not far in front of him, a tiny bubble popping, an expanding and shattering sound. He raised his head vigilantly, Wang Chuli looked at the ice wall in front of him and retreated, and when he retreated to his side, he pulled him up by the way, and said softly: "Step back a little." ”

The sound came from the ice wall. He stared firmly at the ice wall in front of him, looking at the faint orange-red behind its muddy and whitish wall, and the heat that came with the crackling sound, this heat hit his face, and the muscles of his face were not used to this sudden heat because they were used to the cold, and twitched violently as if they had been pricked by a needle, so Zhao Ji could be sure that this heat was real.

"It's coming. Ye Langxing's voice was much more relaxed, "I'll just say-"

- Boom!

The loud noise like an earthquake frightened Zhao Ji into a spirit, in the flat ground, under the snowdrift, in front of the ice wall, suddenly drilled out a demon beast, the shape of a horse, the head of the horns, the sideburns are densely fluffy, the body is white, the tail is black, the claws are sharp like a tiger, it lowered its head, the sharp horns like a knife aimed at Zhao Ji, and the powerful limbs began to run and sprint.

Zhao Ji didn't even have time to discern what kind of strange legendary creature it was—it was really uneasy!

When Zhao Ji was about to blow the hand Xun, suddenly a sky-high fire light smashed through the ice wall, and a sharp spiral flame storm swirled violently, rolling up the demon beast that had not had time to launch an offensive, it only had time to look back slightly, it was engulfed in the fire and disappeared, a stone fell into the ground, and the fragments of the remaining ice wall were rolled up by it, and were sucked into the bottom of the vortex from all directions, and directly evaporated from the ice into gas.

Starstream Fire. It's fire. It's real fire, it's strange fire, it's fire that no one can use except one person.

"-Su Can!"

Zhao Ji was about to walk forward, when he suddenly heard Su Can's voice, he said to him slowly, "Don't come here." His voice was smiling, "If you come here now, you may be swept up in the flame vortex, I warned you, if you are really so stupid and burned to death, it is none of my business." ”

Zhao Ji nodded, simply squatted down, rubbing his hands back and forth. Wang Chuli looked down at him strangely and asked, "What are you doing?"

"My hands are cold, just roasting the fire, and I have nothing to do anyway. Zhao Ji smiled and said, "You can squat down and join me, there will be no store in this village after this village, and the fire is about to disappear." ”

Wang Chuli smiled: "Why are you so unproductive!"

Zhao Ji bowed his head and said: "Look, just one sentence, it's gone." ”

Wang Chuli looked up and saw Su Can gently pinching his wrist with one hand, raising it to his mouth and blowing it, and then walked over with a relaxed expression. A huge hole had broken in the ice wall behind him, and behind this hole, the snow lay flat on the ground, and in the distance, the sparse houses on the edge of the city could be seen in the distance, and this was the way she had come, and it was really to the bottom of the mountain.

Zhao Ji happily ran over, held Su Can's hand and said, "Su Can, thank you—"

"Don't touch ......" Before Su Can could finish speaking, Zhao Ji snapped and let go of his hand, frantically shook it up and down, jumped up and down, and said, "Hot!"

"Of course, the fire has only been extinguished for a short time. If I have been burned by the fire or cold, what kind of monster am I?" Su Can smiled and said to Ye Langxing, "I didn't expect you to really find them, His Royal Highness Duan Wang ran around and jumped around, but it was difficult to catch them." ”

Ye Langxing smiled: "What are you going to arrest him for?" He is very sensible and very smart, if I didn't go over to find him, he could come out by himself...... He can still deal with these demon beasts, does His Royal Highness Duan Wang want to perform one?"

Zhao Ji grinned and said, "Ye Zhutou, when I was very young, Gonggong Song always liked to ask me to perform poetry recitation in front of everyone. Why are you all the same?"

Ye Langxing smiled helplessly, Su Can saw it, and said with sharp teeth: "If you don't perform, you won't perform, and His Royal Highness King Duan can't guarantee that he can memorize all the poems every time." ”

"What!" Zhao Ji protested dissatisfiedly, "I'm very powerful, I can, but I don't like it, and there's no need for this...... Speaking of Su Can, did you deliberately ask Ye Langxing to come to me? Aren't you being separated from each other?"

"It's true that we're scattered, but we still have to have that tacit understanding. Those who are on the mountain go down the mountain, and those who are at the bottom of the mountain wait to be answered. Su Can said, "Of course, we can, like you and Miss Wang, we may not reach a consensus at all, right?"

Wang Chuli sneered: "Maybe." ”

Zhao Ji smiled helplessly: "Who made me too weak, I can't do anything." ”

As he spoke, he looked up and saw what seemed to be a white void, with nothing but snow, and no one in the world. He narrowed his eyes, frowned and thought for a moment, feeling a little uneasy.

"What are you looking at?" Su Can stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes.

"Nothing. Zhao Ji smiled a little reluctantly and said, "I'm just a little scared." ”

Su Can smiled: "What are you afraid of? It's best to be alive." If you can survive to the end, His Royal Highness Duan Wang will be the most powerful person, isn't it? I said, His Royal Highness Duan Wang is really blessed, and he saves worry and effort, I originally wanted to burn the glacier of this entire mountain to save you, but think about it, in this maze of unknown directions, maybe I will burn you together, not to mention that it takes my strength very much, so I just thought about it, maybe Ye Langxing will bring you over. ”

Ye Langxing pretended to sigh: "Oh, it turns out that you don't even believe me......"

"Wait. Wang Chuli asked, "If you use the power of 'flame', will you be tired?"

Su Can smiled at her and said, "Of course it will! This is the ability I exchanged my life for, and it is the composition of my 'soul', and when I use it, it will naturally consume my life." I don't know how to take anything out of me, but I'm not tired, even if it doesn't have a big impact - just like your brother, General Wang Liefeng, my senior brother, he will be tired too. ”

"Ah, I see, there are ......" Wang Chuli was very curious, and asked vigorously, "Then, on a heavy snowy day like this, or when it rains heavily, is the use of your ability not as smooth as usual?"

This question also attracted Zhao Ji's attention. He was about to walk through the hole to reach the outside, but he couldn't help but stop to listen to Su Can.

"Yes. Su Can said calmly, "In this place, I had to exert twice my strength than usual to barely light the 'fire', so for me, it was very difficult. A drop of water disappears as soon as it comes close to the flame, and when the flame falls into the water, the flame dissipates. So, I have to spend my life where it's useful, and try not to waste it. ”

Zhao Ji turned around and said, "What is the useful place?"

Su Can's face showed a false gentle expression, and his tone sounded more like teasing, only to hear him say slowly: "Of course, it is the place where His Royal Highness King Duan wants to go, and bring the people that His Royal Highness King Duan needs to you." ”

"You're so kind. Zhao Ji smiled, had a number in his heart, turned around, and heard Su Can say, "His Royal Highness King Duan, you just go out." ”

Zhao Ji walked to the door and turned his head to look - I saw that next to the ice wall, there was a team of twenty or thirty people, each of whom was dressed in silver armor and held sharp swords and weapons.

As soon as they saw Zhao Ji coming, they immediately knelt down on one knee, their heads lowered, only the general at the head was standing, the knife was not out of the sheath, holding the handle of the knife The scabbard was slightly horizontal, bowed their heads to Zhao Ji, and said: "His Royal Highness Duanwang, we have been waiting here for a long time, and we are at your disposal." ”

Wang Chuli and Ye Langxing listened to the movement, glanced at each other, showed a look of great surprise, and looked at Su Can in unison.

Su Can spread his hands and said, "This is the rescue soldier brought by His Royal Highness King Duan. ”

"Wow......" Ye Langxing said, "What is their strength? ”

"It's really hard for the enemy to deal with. You know, I had just come down the mountain and they were already waiting there. The labyrinth didn't seem to affect them either, and they had done it in anticipation even before the labyrinth appeared. It is a very elite team, and it must have gone through extremely strict training and brutal screening to select such a group of people. To be honest, I'm a little envious, after all, it's much better than those useless guards in the palace. However, if it were a guard, it would be impossible to reach such a height, and there was no need for those who ate the imperial food to fight so hard, and these people did not belong to the palace. ”

"Sounds like you've suffered a lot. Ye Langxing smiled, "Is this a small unit personally trained by His Royal Highness King Duan?"

Su Can shook his head and said, "If he can think of this, as for being imprisoned by other princes now, has he experienced these things?" It's Cai Chengzhi, that is, the guards of Cai Jing's family. said that Cai Chengzhi sent someone to investigate the affairs in the palace, but in fact, this team has been doing things, and I didn't guess at first that this would have anything to do with Cai Chengzhi until ......"

"Thank you, everybody. Zhao Ji said lightly, "You are Cai Ju'an's people, right?"

The head guard was tall and thin, with two thick eyebrows, two triangular eyes slightly drooping, a little black mole on the bridge of his nose that looked casual and lazy, and a tired and determined look on his face. His head raised and said to Zhao Ji: "His Royal Highness King Duan, we are indeed investigating the heavy snow in Bianjing City for Gongzi Cai. Under the name is Bunjutsu. The latter people are: Baxia, Holy Lion, Taiyin, Shura, Painting Prison, Black Scale, and Skeleton. ”

Zhao Ji said: "What are the results of the investigation? I'm worried that you came here halfway and don't know much about the Huayang Sect. ”

Wenshu said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Duan doesn't have to worry about this. At the very least, we know that His Royal Highness King Shen has a grudge against you, that the Huayang Sect is a threat to the royal family, and that this heavy snow is actually an 'illusion'. Its 'center' is hidden in Bianjing City, and the closer you get to this place, the stronger the 'hallucination' becomes. It's just that we are a step late, and now almost the entire Bianjing City is covered by this illusion, and people don't know anything. ”

"I know quite a bit. Zhao Ji said, "I still want to ask, before you met me, did you always obey the dispatch of your Cai Gongzi, not Cai Chengzhi?"

"Ah...... The Queen Mother thinks so, doesn't she?" Wenshu smiled awkwardly, "Actually, in the investigation of 'this matter', we really just patrolled the streets at the beginning to see if there were any suspicious people in the city. This is what Cai Chengzhi asked us to do. But later, when I saw Cai Gongzi coming, he temporarily added other requirements to us, and asked us to come to His Royal Highness Duan Wang, we are the guards of the Cai family, Lord Cai didn't know, and Cai Gongzi was in a hurry, so we followed his orders to do things, of course, it seems that it is still Cai Chengzhi's meaning. ”

"That's it. Zhao Ji thought of Cai Ju'an's earnest face, sneered, shook his head and said, "This kid really hurt his father miserably." What about others?"

"Cai Gongzi is weak, he drank in the restaurant before, and he was cold when he went out, and the symptoms of wind and cold were violent for a while, and now he is lying down at home to rest. ”

Zhao Ji laughed: "Really, he's quite good at finding time...... How's it going down the hill?"

"Do you mean the situation in Bianliang City? As it stands, there are only demon beasts, not labyrinths, so the 'road' is still smooth. ”

"Okay, thank you. Zhao Ji turned his head and looked at Wang Chuli and Ye Langxing. They tilted their heads and looked at him with their arms crossed, eager to speak, and very convinced.

He turned back and said to Wenshu with a solemn expression: "Anyway, Wenshu, thank you for coming." But there's one thing I want you to remember. I hope you can protect them - they are innocent people who have been caught up in it. I can die, it's okay, but they can't. So, by all means, don't let them die. ”

Su Can smiled: "It's not so easy for people to die, don't worry, there is me." ”

"Good. Alright, let's go. Zhao Ji was still worried, thinking of Shao Bowen's prophecy, he was not very relieved. If a person knows that death is coming, he begins to worry about who will suffer such a catastrophe. Prophecy always has an uncertain nature, which makes the person who investigates the root cause very painful, how can Shao Bowen endure this, his life is really difficult - but, on second thought, since this incident did not happen "at this moment", it is better to forget about it.

- But where to go?

Zhao Ji looked up at the blank snow, and his mind was empty for a while. He shuddered for a moment and asked the guard, "By the way, what do you mean by the 'center' of the illusion just now? That should be where the Huayang Sect is located, isn't it?"

The guard nodded, "It should be." We met the team of the Huayang Sect at that time, we saw them near Frost Moon Street, everything was normal at that time, and their arrival brought a 'illusion' called 'His Highness Yan', Frost Moon Street suddenly snowed hard, we were originally lurking in the crowd to observe, and that illusion seemed to be alive, aware of ours' Strange', immediately summoned the demon beast to attack the whole street, we desperately resisted to barely stop, and many pedestrians on the street were brutally murdered, but fortunately, their target was not ours, they were heading towards the palace, and we were able to get out of danger. Later, when I heard about what happened in the palace tonight, I wanted to look for them again, but I couldn't find them at all. ”

"I can't find it at all......," Zhao Ji pondered, suddenly raised his head, and said in surprise, "You mean, this 'center' is moving, it's the living 'illusion', 'His Highness Yan'?"

The guard looked up and said, "That's what I thought. ”

Zhao Ji began to break out in a cold sweat and said, "How can this be ......?"

Ye Langxing seemed to remember something at this time, and said: "The people have never seen the territory of the Huayang Sect, and there are legends about it everywhere. They appear anytime and anywhere, and disappear anytime and anywhere, nowhere to be found, could it be that the 'Huayang Sect' is hidden in the 'illusion', a backside of the 'real world'?"

Su Can raised his head in shock, his beautiful eyes full of shock: "What? If you say that, the people of the Huayang Sect can shuttle through any space and appear when they want to appear." If, if that's their 'secret'......"

Zhao Ji's voice was stiff, and he said slowly: "Then the emperor's assassination may be related to this reason." His voice trembled, and his whole body trembled with fear, but he forced himself to calm down and said, "So, what is the 'center' we are looking for...... Flame Warbler?"

Wenshu said strangely: "What Yan Ying?"

"I know!" Zhao Ji blurted out: "It's Yanying...... Huayang Sect, Yanying ......"

Ye Langxing said: "What's wrong with Yan Ying?"

"Do you remember, Ye Zhutou," Zhao Ji said in a cold sweat, "Yan Ying told me that I would meet her again in Fengle Building." Frost Moon Street, Fengle Building, that's the hint she gave. Now, let's go to Fengle Building!"

Su Can pressed his wrist and said, "The place close to the 'center' is very dangerous." ”

"Let's go. Zhao Ji said, "I can't care so much." ”

The guard raised his head and looked at Zhao Ji. There was a determined and sad look in his eyes.
