Chapter 40: The Ghost Strikes the Wall
Xue Baiqiao shrank and looked forward with wide eyes.
The breeze struck, but the surroundings were gloomy, as if there was a ghost lurking in it, a little movement, almost frightened him to run wildly, suddenly smelled a little fragrance, heard the sound of peace and stability, in the vast fog, suddenly, the sound of kicking and tapping, not only did not make people frightened, but also made people have a rare sense of security.
Hongchen lit the fire and held it up, a little light, and immediately let those people who were circling in place see the way.
Xue Baiqiao saw Hongchen at first glance, as if he had seen his ancestors, he was so excited that his eyes were full of tears, his little nose twitched, he whimpered, and he pulled her sleeve and didn't dare to let go.
I don't know how long he has been trapped in this broken mountain, he has long been a little confused, and he feels that at least three or five days have passed.
He is not alone, and there are at least a dozen people around him.
All of them were silver-robed spears, with strong bows and swords hanging from their waists, and the one at the head wore a golden crown, his eyebrows were like blades, and his face was cold.
This kind of dress is only possible for royal relatives and nobles.
Especially the pearl on the golden crown, I'm afraid that even those who are not crowned kings among the princes can't wear it casually.
Hongchen is a village girl, so naturally she shouldn't know how the nobles in the capital are dressed, she is only polite and very restrained, and before she has time to speak, Xue Baiqiao has already chattered about her bitterness.
"I just accompanied His Royal Highness King Li into the mountains to find someone, but the person he asked for by the old man was not found, and he didn't know what was going on, and he couldn't get out, and now I haven't met anyone, and the fog has never receded, it's just, it's ...... Hey, you Cangqing Mountains don't usually hunt and chop wood, there are a lot of woodcutters! ”
Xue Baiqiao said with a dry mouth, grabbed the kettle and poured a breath of water. The men around him also looked embarrassed, and two others were wounded, with broken sleeves, messy hems, and blood stains on their arms. The rest of the silver armor was also turning gray.
"It's good to see you, I've been stuck in the mountains for a few days, five days? The guy surnamed Lin outside doesn't know how to look for it, it's really not interesting! ”
Hongchen smiled: "Xue Gongzi ordered two meat buns in my teahouse this morning, saying that the spices added are not enough to taste, and they will be heavier tomorrow." ”
Xue Baiqiao was stunned for a moment, and he shivered.
The reassuring words of the girl in front of him seemed to have the opposite effect, and he couldn't help but look around, and felt more and more strange about this mountain.
Otherwise, if you don't get a day, how can it feel like a long time?
Impatient to listen to their nonsense, King Li glanced lightly, stared at Hongchen, and his tone was slightly impatient: "Do you know the way down the mountain?" ”
Hongchen's cold hair suddenly stood up, and he gritted his teeth desperately and endured it for a long time before he suppressed that creepy feeling.
The current King Li is still young, and he is not the real power prince who is displeased in his heart, so he directly whips and whips the important ministers, don't be afraid.
"Back to Your Highness, it's really a little inappropriate at the moment, but the folk girl often goes into the mountains, and she has always been familiar with the road, so she is willing to try her best to lead the way for His Highness."
"Hurry up, then."
King Li waved his hand.
Hongchen nodded honestly, turned around, held the fire fold, and led the group forward.
This prince seemed to be in a hurry, constantly urging, and his steps became bigger and bigger, and he didn't take a few steps, even to the point where Hongchen had to trot.
Ping'an may know that his master is hard, so he poked his head out and grinned at King Li, but as soon as King Li saw it, it shrank its head and didn't even dare to scream.
Xue Baiqiao saw that Hongchen's forehead was dripping with sweat, and his heart was also very uncomfortable, but he didn't even dare to say a word.
In fact, he was not as serious as Lin Xu, but he dared to blow up in front of Lin Xu, but he didn't dare in front of King Li.
If this prince is in a bad mood, he will really kill people.
The kitten and the little fox both feel that Ping An is very timid today, in the past, someone dared to make their own master uncomfortable, this little guy's dog paw must have been patted, but at this time it was obviously very unfriendly to the prince, but did not dare to put on the paw, it is really strange.
Of course, they only dare to think about it casually, the thought flashed away, and at this time they actually met a living prince, who was already dizzy, where did they still have the ability to think deeply.
"Again, back here!"
Xue Baiqiao was stunned, squatted on the ground suddenly, hugged his shoulders, and couldn't wait to cry, "Look at that mark, it's my belt, we're still spinning in place, what's going on, just these roads we walk, we can almost circle around Cangqing Mountain!" ”
King Li's face suddenly became very gloomy.
When the little marquis saw it, he instinctively grabbed Hongchen, protected her behind him, and said loudly: "Lord Wang, your treasure knife is expensive, you should keep it for the thief, the little beauty can't cut it casually." ”
King Li glared, and the little marquis suddenly shrank his head, and then turned his body behind the red dust.
"You said you knew the way?"
Hongchen raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid we've encountered a ghost hitting the wall." ”
The other party's Taoism is indeed unfathomable, she has the help of the creatures on the whole mountain, and she will not get lost, but unfortunately she was careless, but she didn't expect the obstacles arranged by the other party, and even the creatures on the mountain will be blinded if you are not careful.
However, it is not impossible to solve.
It's just that as soon as she said the three words "ghost hitting the wall", Xue Baiqiao's face turned white at first, and then turned blue.
"Is there really a ghost?"
There was a dead silence all around.
A gust of wind blew and rattled.
King Li sneered: "Ghost? This king has fought in all directions for many years, and there are countless souls under the sword, if there are really ghosts, I don't know who will be afraid of whom! ”
Xiao Hou Ye bit his lip, but he felt that King Li had a good temper today, and he was worried that this person would directly deal with Ah Chen's crime of 'bewitching the public' first, and cut it with a knife.
He didn't know that since King Li was proficient in the art of war, he was not only good at fighting, but also handsome, so he couldn't be a reckless person.
This way, he knew very well that when the little girl in front of him led the way, she was obviously in a fog and couldn't see the road clearly, but she never hesitated at every step, and it was as easy as walking in the garden at home.
Moreover, she did not miss a single step, neither a deep pit, nor a dry grass in the way, thinking that they had gone ahead, there were many twists and turns along the way, and many people were injured, and they simply bled all the way.
With this, King Li killed the useless Xue Baiqiao, and he would not kill her.
"The prince is murderous, so he is naturally not afraid of ghosts." Hongchen smiled, "It's the people's daughter's inappropriate words, but please rest assured, the people's daughter has been in and out of Cangqing Mountain since she was a child, and the mountain roads are familiar, so she can't lose them even if she closes her eyes." ”
After saying that, she closed her eyes and continued to walk in stride.
Xue Baiqiao's heart fluttered, and the sound was like a drum, but this time he walked for a long time, and he didn't see any signs, obviously not spinning in place, and even faintly, he could see the lights under the mountain.
Hongchen's expression was not as relaxed as this little marquis, and he always felt that there were still fierce beasts hiding around him, but it seemed that because he was here, he couldn't lurk.
This prince has a lot of trouble, so he will never deal with it in the future.
