Chapter Seventy-Two: Concealing the Truth

The funeral procession has been waiting at the entrance pass.

Gong Yi took those servants to pull three carts of hanging coffin burial tools, and it only took a stick of incense to meet Jiaoyi and his party at the mountain pass.

The entrance to the mountain is in the shape of a bottleneck, and there is a huge open space after entering the mountain, and you can clearly see that there is a wide Qingling Lake in front of you to block the way.

Taihe Mountain is not an independent mountain, but a continuous group of mountains spread out on both sides with Qingling Lake as the central point, and Fusheng has let people come to check the terrain before, and has already chosen the place of hanging coffin burial on the steepest cliff on the side of Qingling Lake.

The wooden stakes supporting the coffins of the two instruments were made by the spies who flew up and tested them many times before they were laid.

Now the most important thing is, how to successfully hang this heavy coffin in its intended position?

Gong Yi dismounted and walked to Jiaoyi's side, looked at the inclined and towering mountain, and pursed his lips worriedly, "It's just towering and sloping, or on the side of the lake, how can this be accurately suspended in that position?" ”

Jiao Yi tilted his head, and after a moment of silence, he raised his eyebrows, "Since the descendants of the servants are here, why should you and me be overly worried?" ”

"But ......" Gong Yimian hesitated, and the male concubine who was lying in the coffin of the two ceremonies was the male concubine that Her Majesty the Empress cared about the most, and she must not make the slightest mistake, otherwise not only would they be convicted, but her Royal Highness might also be implicated.

The relationship between His Royal Highness and the empress has always been like a tight bowstring, once there is any crack because of the male concubine, it will be out of control, and the Tantai family will take the opportunity to suppress it, which will bring disaster to the entire royal family.

This is a situation that no one wants to see.

In the interval between Gong Yi's eyes, Xue Cheng walked over with two lieutenants.

Because he was almost bitten by the demon spirit before, Xue Cheng had been resentful for a long time, but he couldn't find a chance to vent, so he could only temporarily suppress it, looking at Gong Yi with an unkind face, and his tone was full of disdain, "Lord Gong, the auspicious time calculated by the high priest is almost here, you ...... Have you figured it out? ”

Gong Yi glanced at him lightly, did not speak, turned his head and ordered the strong men, "The auspicious time has come, you can start." ”

The strong man at the head is called Agui.

After listening to Gong Yi's instructions, he glanced at the cliff and said in a low voice: "My lord, someone needs to go up from the back mountain to lower the ladder made of vines from above, otherwise the little ones won't be able to climb up." ”

Gong Yi frowned and looked at Xue Cheng, Xue Cheng immediately took a few steps back with the two lieutenant generals, and his face was awe-inspiring, "The high priest only ordered the black armor army to come and escort it, and did not let us participate!" ”

Everyone knows that Taihe Mountain is cursed, and the shore of Qingling Lake where he is standing now is just a mountain pass, and there is nothing to do. Then the mountain must be crossed by boat until it reaches the opposite side of the wide lake, and from there it makes a great circle back to the back of the cliff.

Rumor has it that there is a woodcutter who reached the other side of the river to cut firewood, but he never returned, at first only one person was missing, and the people nearby thought that they had encountered a fierce beast, and then one after another woodcutters did not come back, and the village women went into the mountains to look for their husbands together, and no one has come back alive so far.

Strangely, someone once saw a child enter the mountain and return unharmed.

Regarding the rumors that the woman who secretly married the patriarch and became pregnant before marriage turned into a ghost and stayed in this mountain after her death, Xue Cheng had heard a little.

And these people all came out of Lingshan, and the Lingshan Wu Clan has the ability to communicate ghosts and gods, so Xue Cheng and the nearly 100 black-armored troops he led were convinced of that rumor and thought that this place was haunted. It's just that there are a lot of people nowadays, and they all look very indifferent.

Seeing that Gong Yi intended to let them go to the back mountain to put a rattan ladder, Xue Cheng was naturally the first to refuse.

Jiao Yi, who had been sitting on the grass for a long time, flicked the dog tail grass in his hand into the clear lake water, which immediately stirred up a circle of swaying ripples, he stood up and approached Xue Cheng, the corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling, "Yes, you people from the Shantai family are golden and noble, with fine skin and tender meat, walking with your head held high, no one in your eyes, and you can't even see the dog shit when you step on it." ”

The first few words, Xue Cheng also listened to it very usefully, after all, the high priest of Shantai is the person in charge of the divine power of Dayan, and has absolute authority, and ordinary people have to bow their heads three points when they see the people of the Lantai family, of course, including these black armor soldiers.

But when he heard the last sentence, Xue Cheng vaguely felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly looked down to see that the demon spirit had pulled a bubble of on his shiny black leather military boots at some point.

I was almost bitten before, but now this beast has reached his feet, how can I endure it?!

Xue Cheng was furious in an instant, the green tendons on his forehead suddenly jumped non-stop, and the rough voice resounded through the valley like a wolf's howl, and the response continued.

"Ahhh

The demon spirit flicked its tail and drilled into the woods beside it.

Xue Cheng didn't care about any rumors at this time, he hurriedly pulled out his sword, and rushed forward with one arrow step.

The two lieutenants glanced at each other and sent a few black-armored soldiers to follow Xue Cheng, and then the two of them came over aggressively and prepared to ask for guilt.

Jiaoyi stood beside Gong Yi, his expression was scattered, and the corners of his eyes were slightly slanted, "I understand very well how you want to cut me, but you have to think about it before you cut it, if I am injured, you have to go to the back mountain to put a rattan ladder." ”

The two lieutenants paused when they heard this, and looked at each other again.

One of them suddenly turned his head and smiled fiercely, "I cut off your hand, and you still have feet to walk!" ”

As he spoke, the long sword in his hand pulled out a shining sword flower in the air, with a sharp luster, and in an instant, it slashed towards Jiaoyi's left arm.

Gong Yi's face changed drastically, and he shouted, "Be careful! ”

As soon as the words fell, I only heard the sound of a sharp weapon piercing ** and the sound of bones breaking and tearing, no one saw what happened just now, and saw a black shadow fall into the lake in a parabola, splashing countless splashes, and a layer of scarlet immediately floated on the surface of the lake, and the smell of blood spread in an instant.

It was the deputy general who was going to cut off Jiaoyi before, and at this time he was cut off two arms and thrown into the water, and after pouring a few mouthfuls of water, his head kept coming out to shout for help, but his appearance was extremely terrifying, and no one dared to step forward.

Jiaoyi patted the water droplets off his clothes in disgust, turned his eyes to look at the other lieutenant, and pinched his chin, "According to my rules for counting leaves, the first one kills, and the second one doesn't kill, you go, don't break my rules." ”

The remaining lieutenant general was frightened, he had heard that the five major guards of the Qin Wangfu were strong in martial arts, but he never thought that just one horn would be so rampant and kill the deputy general of the Black Armor Army in just one move, if the two of them joined forces, he estimated that he would not be able to walk the army alive.

The most important thing is that the high priest has confessed, if it is not forced by the form, do not conflict with the people of the King of Qin in advance, otherwise the plan will be ruined.

Raising his sleeves to wipe the beads of sweat on his forehead, the deputy general didn't dare to stay any longer, and retreated stupidly, but his face was clearly unwilling.

Jiao Yi looked at the back of the deputy general and sighed slightly, "These are the people at the end of the Black Armor Legion, I don't know where the woman who pretends to be a ghost all day long has the confidence to send some shrimp soldiers and crabs to be escorts in the future." ”

didn't hear Gong Yi's answer, Jiao Yi looked at him sideways, and saw that his lips were tight, and his eyes were fixed on the water that had been dyed red, and the color was deep.

As if thinking of something, the corners of Jiaoyi's mouth curled up with a touch of interest, and he patted Gong Yi's shoulder, "Hey, stupid, I heard that you were injured by a woman last time, what kind of woman is so powerful that she almost killed you?" ”

Gong Yi's eyes narrowed, thinking of the situation that night, his face was very bad, and he turned around with his sleeves, "It's nothing, it's just a momentary miss." ”

"Missed?" Jiao Yi smiled, his eyebrows raised high, "The first mission failure of the famous Yanjing Gong Yi Palace was actually lost to a woman and almost died, should I simply believe your innocent reason or should I be smart enough to break your emotions and hide the truth from His Highness?" ”

------Off topic------

Guess, who was the person who assassinated Gong Yi in the first place? Why did he hide it?
