This fire was set by Zhou Xun, and he chose a position to deliberately obstruct the path of the pursuers, and did not let the fire spread to the direction of the cave for a while. The three of them walked all the way, and finally temporarily shook off Feng Xiao's people and got into the cave.

Nie Jin shook his fire and said to the two: "Let's go down first, lest people chase this side and be found out that there is something wrong in the cave." ”

It turned out that this karst cave was a big cave with a small hole, Nie Jin took the two into a small hole, the terrain turned sharply, the rock walls were all vines, all the way down, until ten zhang later, only to find that there was a cave down. Underneath is a spacious sinkhole, which is overgrown with grass and trees, and the sound of gurgling water rings in your ears.

Going down to the ground, Nie Jin lit the lamp, and Zhou Qingqing didn't care about observing the surrounding scenery, only grabbed Zhou Xun's hand next to him, and said excitedly: "Xun'er, is it really you?" ”

Under the oil lamp, Zhou Qingqing saw his younger brother's face clearly, he hadn't seen him for a year, and the young child who left home had already had a bit of youthful heroism.

Zhou Xun was also excited, and the calmness that had just escaped all the way suddenly shattered, and he cried out: "Sister, I didn't know that you were imprisoned in the mansion by King Rui. Chinese New Year's Eve is behind the screen, right? ”

Zhou Qingqing nodded and cried: "It's me, we're fine!" It's just that when the words fell, he suddenly remembered Qin Zhen and turned his head to look at Nie Jin, "Ah Jin, will something happen to him?" ”

Nie Jin shook his head: "The prince should have been hit by an arrow, I don't know how injured he is." If you don't take advantage of the fire, you should be able to escape by taking advantage of the fire, if you ......," he said, "Anyway, let's leave the river first." The prince just asked me to go first, but he didn't want everyone to have an accident together. ”

Zhou Qingqing hurriedly said: "How can this be done?" He is a dignified prince who came to Yandu to save me, if I go alone first, what are I saying! After a pause, he added, "If something happens to the prince, I won't live alone!" ”

Nie Jin was silent for a moment: "Then let's wait, if an hour later, the prince has not yet appeared, I am afraid that there will be more than one luck." ”

Zhou Xun pulled his sister and said, "I heard that King Wu of Western Qin killed you before, and I thought he was a tyrannical villain. Now I know that it turns out that all the qiē are ghosts made by King Rui of Northern Zhao. ”

Zhou Qingqing smiled helplessly: "It's not just that you were deceived by him, the prince and I still have Nie Jin, which one is not being played with by him and applauded." If the prince falls into his hands, I am afraid that there is no way to live. As he spoke, tears fell again.

The three of them lit a fire in the cave, and the red flame shone brightly all around. Zhou Qingqing looked around, in addition to firewood on the ground, there were also some leftover animal bones and fruit cores. She spoke: "These days, you and the prince are living here?" ”

Nie Jin said: "We have been looking for opportunities before, but then we heard that Spring Hunting is here, and I thought that the prince would follow Feng Xiao to hunt." After surveying for half a month, I finally found this cave and stayed before the spring hunt. ”

Zhou Qingqing sighed: "You know that I will be fine in Beizhao. It's just that you can come alone, how can you let the prince come too. If I pleaded, Feng Xiao might not kill you, but if the prince fell into his hands, he would definitely not let go. ”

Nie Jin's elm-like expression moved slightly: "Originally, I also said that it would be good for me to save you alone." But the prince said that he would come in person. He paused, "Before he left Western Qin, he had already handed over the talisman to Qin Luo, and he must have considered the consequences." ”

Zhou Qingqing closed his eyes and shook his head: "He's really ......"

But the latter words could not be spoken.

The smoke cleared slightly, Feng Xiao stepped forward unhurriedly, bent over and dipped his fingers on the ground, and put it between his nose and sniffed it gently. He heard a dog barking, he whistled, and the hound that appeared out of nowhere behind him ran forward.

He followed the hound until it suddenly stopped in front of him. A dark shadow jumped down from the tree, and a cold-lit sword stabbed straight at him.

The corners of Feng Xiao's lips hooked a slight arc, her body quickly took two steps back, the hand holding the sword was raised, the sword was not out of the body, and it could only be blocked by the scabbard with the scabbard.

Qin Zhen, who landed on the ground, raised his sword and stepped forward again. Feng Xiao drew his sword and made a few moves against him, took two steps back, looked at Qin Zhen, who was in a hurry, and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, don't bother, the arrow in you is poisonous on it, the more you move, the faster the poison on your body will spread." ”

Qin Zhen had already discovered that there was something wrong with that arrow, and at this time, his limbs were full of bones, and he gradually lost his strength. He put the sword on the ground with one hand to prevent himself from falling, and said with a smile: "Feng Xiao, I died in your hands, only to blame me for having no eyes in the past ten years." But I'm dead, and it's not so easy for you to get it. Xiqin will not be in chaos because of my death, but will only be angry and want to avenge me. If I die, you won't get Qingqing. If I'm not mistaken, she is about to leave Yandu at this moment. ”

Feng Xiao smiled disapprehantly: "The entire West Mountain has been surrounded by me, no matter how powerful Nie Jin is, it is difficult to fly." I won't let you die for the time being, I'll let you watch Qingqing return to me. After that, he raised his voice and was indignant, "Bring King Wu of Western Qin to the palace and serve him well." ”

The guards beside him only knew at this time that the person he was chasing was King Wu of Western Qin, and they suddenly felt like they were facing a great enemy, and they all tied up Qin Zhen in three or five strokes and carried them towards the palace.

Feng Xiao stood in place and commanded: "Carefully turn over the mountain, bring the hounds, and don't fall into a corner." ”

The light that came in through the cracks in the stone let Zhou Qingqing know that it was dawn, but Qin Zhen didn't come back, and the worst might have happened. She covered her face and wept silently.

Nie Jin patted her on the shoulder: "Miss, you don't have to be sad first. If Feng Xiao catches the prince, he won't kill him for a while until he finds us. ”

Zhou Qingqing looked up at her.

Nie Jin continued: "If my estimate is right, Feng Xiao can't find us, he must think that we are hiding on this mountain, he doesn't know, but the prince knows." He won't kill the prince until he forces him to speak out. He paused, "Or rather, he'd rather let the prince see him capture you." ”

As soon as he said this, Zhou Qingqing became even more uncomfortable, and he didn't know how much Qin Zhenhui was tortured.

Zhou Xun on the side said: "Sister, I have a way." ”

Zhou Qingqing and Nie Jin looked at him.

Zhou Xun said: "I will quietly sneak back to Yandu now." Feng Xiao will not leave Xishan for the time being, but the news that he has captured King Wu of Western Qin will definitely reach the palace. He didn't know that I had learned about him, and thought I hated your brother-in-law for killing you. I could just find an excuse to come to Xishan and say that I was going to kill my brother-in-law with my own hands. He won't be too defensive against me, and I'll find another chance to save my brother-in-law. ”

Nie Jin said: "But now that the whole mountain is heavily guarded, how can you leave?" ”

Zhou Xun pulled the clothes on his body a little proudly: "Haven't you noticed yet?" I originally came to the mountain in disguise to change into the guards of Northern Zhao, otherwise how do you think I set the fire? ”

Zhou Qingqing happily looked at the fourteen-year-old boy, his younger brother had really grown up and was enough to be on his own.

Nie Jin also sighed with relief: "The prince has a spirit in the sky, and he should rest assured to see that the prince is so clever and sensible." ”

Zhou Xun was a little embarrassed to be praised, and sighed: "I just don't know if I can save my brother-in-law." ”

Nie Jin patted him on the shoulder: "No matter what, you act carefully, Feng Xiao is thoughtful, in case he finds out, even if he won't do anything to you, he will lose the last glimmer of hope." ”

Zhou Xun nodded vigorously: "You guys are waiting here, at midnight today, Ah Jin, you come to pick me up." My sister will wait here when she arrives, and if she feels that something is wrong, she will leave the undercurrent and leave us alone. ”

Zhou Qingqing snorted, and then said in a dumb voice: "Xun'er, you have to be careful yourself, if you are discovered, don't force yourself." You're a proton, and you're my brother, so he won't touch you for the time being. ”

Zhou Xun pursed his lips: "Sister, I know how to protect myself, don't worry about me." ”

He stood up, straightened his clothes, and climbed up the vines.

Zhou Qingqing watched his figure disappear, worried.

At this time, in the Xishan Palace, Qin Zhen woke up slowly, and he sat on a mahogany chair with his hands and feet tied. On the couch opposite sat Feng Xiao, dressed in white.

He is still the same as in Xiqin, a breeze and warmth, which is enough to confuse everyone.

Qin Zhen sneered: "Feng Xiao...... No...... It should be Luo Nianzhi, why don't you kill me? Aren't you afraid that I will run away? ”

Feng Xiao raised his eyebrows, playing with his bamboo flute in his hand: "You will die sooner or later, let's not rush for a while." ”

At this time, a guard came in and reported: "Lord Wang, I have searched all over the place, but no trace has been found." ”

Feng Xiao said lightly: "The hound didn't find anything abnormal. ”

The guard shook his head: "No." ”

Feng Xiao chuckled and looked at Qin Zhen opposite: "King Wu and Nie Jin are coming to rob people, there will definitely be a comprehensive arrangement, and the hiding place is probably not something we can find." ”

Qin Zhen laughed: "I said, Qingqing and Nie Jin must have left Yandu at this time." ”

Feng Xiao laughed disapprerovingly: "The surroundings of Xishan have long been strictly guarded and controlled, and even if they have wings, it is impossible to fly out." He lowered his voice, got up and walked in front of Qin Zhen, "Lord Wang, if we make a deal, where are you suing me Qingqingzang?" I'll spare your life. ”

Qin Zhen looked up at him: "Feng Xiao, you've been following me for ten years, don't you know what kind of person I am?" ”

Feng Xiao nodded: "Yes, King Qin Wu is iron-clad, since he came to save his wife alone, he must have made the worst plan." The poison in your body will slowly spread within twelve hours, festering little by little from your limbs to your body. Just like when our Luo clan was slaughtered by your Western Qin, those Qin clan people who had no power to resist were subjected to your executioners little by little. I will take Qingqing back and let you see her before you die, so that she can see your tragic death and break her thoughts. ”

Qin Zhen smiled silently, and his expression was not in the slightest disorder.

Feng Xiao laughed again, as if she had thought of something, and said: "By the way, I forgot to tell you something, Qingqing originally had your child in her belly, but she was born as a sinister seed of Western Qin, so I didn't let him see the world." ”

Qin Zhen's majestic and immobile expression finally cracked. The blue tendons on his forehead burst out, and he gritted his teeth and roared, "Feng Xiao, you will be punished." ”

Feng Xiaoyun chuckled lightly: "I'm waiting for this day." ”

With that, flick your sleeves and go out.

At dusk, for the Northern Zhao Raid Forbidden Army, Zhou Qingqing seemed to have escaped, without a trace.

Feng Xiao was eating slowly, and someone outside reported: "Lord Wang, the proton of the Southern Zhou Dynasty heard the news of King Qin Wu being captured in the palace, and rushed to Xishan to say that he wanted to avenge his sister personally. ”

Feng Xiao raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Let him in!" ”

Zhou Xun panted and ran into the house, his immature face was full of excitement and righteous indignation: "Lord Wang, I heard from the palace that you have caught Qin Zhen, the martial king of Western Qin, in Xishan. Is he alive? He killed my sister, if he is alive, please hand him over to me, and I will personally avenge my sister. ”
