Chapter Seventy-Three: The Hanging Coffin Changes

Gong Yi's body stiffened slightly, turned around and looked at Jiao Yi fixedly, and after a long time, he closed his eyes and said in a low voice: "I didn't mean to hide it, Your Highness will know about this matter sooner or later." ”

Jiao Yi put away the casualness on his face, and suddenly became cold, "Gong Yi, you have been by His Highness's side for so many years, don't you still know his temperament?" You're right, Your Highness will know the truth sooner or later, but it's not the same thing that he finds out in person and you confess in advance! You won't understand? ”

Gong Yi didn't seem to want to say any more, raised his eyes and looked at Ah Gui and the others who were already ready, and then looked at the eighty-one prisoner carts neatly lined up on the spacious empty grass, and changed the topic: "Your Highness has instructed that these children be buried in the mountains outside the Liangyi coffin according to the specific location of the Five Elements Bagua, eighty-one positions, and a pit is now opened. ”

Jiaoyi was stunned, his brows furrowed deeply, "Gong Yi! Among the five people, I have always valued you the most, and I also think that you will not betray Your Highness the most. But in this matter, I don't know why you selfishly concealed the truth, but it was Chu Guo who assassinated you! Didn't you think about what the consequences would be if Your Highness knew about it? It's just a Yuyi emotional, why are you so obsessed? You have a good memory, but do you remember that we swore together in Jiugong Mountain that we would never betray the master? ”

Gong Yi didn't speak, his long eyelashes drooped, covering the light in his eyes that was gradually dimming, as if the night swept by the cold wind, the stars in the sky were one or two o'clock, and the light was full of sores and scarred, and the heart was full of cold loneliness.

Jiao Yi couldn't bear to open his eyes and sighed, "I have already found out the identity of that woman, I hope that before I sue His Highness, you can take the initiative to say it, otherwise you will not only be harmed by then, but also Yuyi." ”

The two of them stood on the shore of Qingling Lake, and their voices were deliberately lowered, and the royal guards and the black armor army behind them, as well as Ah Gui and others, could not hear them, but they were discussing the matter of hanging coffins.

After Jiaoyi finished speaking, he walked to the Praetorian Guard with a light snort, personally selected five or six people, took the rattan ladder brought by Agui and them, boarded the boat borrowed from the nearby villagers' houses, and rowed in the direction of the back mountain.

Gong Yi's face was tense all the time, and when Jiao Yi and their ship turned a corner, he ordered the wizard who followed to use the compass to find the eighty-one positions.

The sorcerer is a person personally cultivated by the high priest Yutai Yin, and he also has some ability, and his movements are extremely fast, and it didn't take long to find all the locations and let people make marks.

The black curtain was lifted on the car, and the eighty-one children in the car were blindfolded with their hands and feet bound, and they had no idea where they were.

The Praetorian Guards, on Miyayoshi's instructions, opened the prisoner cart and released all the children.

Probably because it had been closed for too long, this time, no one made any noise, and after getting out of the carriage, the children stood quietly in place, not daring to come out.

Gong Yi looked at the Black Armor Army again, Xue Cheng chased the demon spirit into the forest and has not come back yet, the two deputy generals Jiao Yi killed one, and now there is only one deputy General Li left.

Facing Shanggong Yi's secluded and cold eyes, Vice General Li felt a chill in his heart for no reason.

Gong Yi said expressionlessly: "Hang the coffin of the two instruments or bury the child, choose one of the two." ”

The Black Armor Legion has lost the backbone of Xue Cheng, and now everyone is looking at Vice General Li, Vice General Li bit his lip, thought for a moment, and said with firm eyes: "Come out and bury the children!" ”

Gong Yi said coldly: "Vice General Li, the funeral is to be carried out at the same time as the hanging coffin, are you sure that twenty people can do it?" ”

Vice General Li glared, "Why do I think that Lord Gong seems to be deliberately breaking up all the Black Armor Army?" Could it be that there is an unsavory secret in the coffin of Liangyi? ”

Gong Yi's face was slightly gloomy, "I said it earlier, choose one of the two, if Vice General Li wants to hang the coffin himself, I will take the Praetorian Guard to bury the child without saying a word." ”

Vice Admiral Li snorted heavily, and asked the wizard to take most of the black-armored soldiers, and the black-armored soldiers escorted a bound child to the selected position.

Vice General Li stood still and stared at Gong Yi with contempt in his eyes, "This vice general wants to see what tricks you can play!" ”

All the children were taken away and immediately vacated a large open space, and only Vice General Li and a few guards were left in the Black Armor Army to watch Gong Yi's every move.

It didn't take long for the Shokuyi and the Praetorian Guards to reach the shore and disembark.

The rattan ladder brought by Agui is woven with animal tendons and vines with excellent toughness, although it looks old, it is very strong, Jiaoyi secretly tried several times with internal force and couldn't break it, he was completely relieved.

Everyone practiced martial arts, so the way up the mountain was relatively easy.

Jiaoyi looked around as he walked, and the information that Gong Yi brought back said that the Chu State was secretly mining jade ore in the area of Taihe Mountain, but they had already walked halfway up the mountain, and when they raised their eyes, they could see the continuous mountains, except for a few idle and crazy cicadas chirping, there was no trace of human activity on the nearby mountains.

Jiaoyi's eyes flashed, what the hell is going on?

He has always known Gong Yi, and there may be another hidden reason for the failure of the assassination mission last time, but it is absolutely impossible for Gong Yi to risk his life to deliver false news to His Royal Highness.

So, where did the gang of people who mined jade ore in the Chu State hide?

After reaching the top of the mountain, Jiaoyi followed Gui's instructions to tie one end of the rattan ladder to the boulder, and then hung the other end down the mountain.

This cliff is inclined, but fortunately, the rattan ladder is long enough, and the end can hang down to a zhang above Qingling Lake.

The coffins of Liangyi were very heavy and could only be transported by boat, but they borrowed only small boats for ordinary villagers to enter the mountain for backup, and they could not bear such a weight at all.

So, Gong Yi came up with a way to put the four small boats side by side, connected by ropes in the middle, and then put the two coffins in the center of the four boats, and one person stood in the front and rear of each boat.

The people who swayed the oars were to be Agui and them.

The transportation of the Liangyi coffin went smoothly, and after reaching the bottom of the cliff, Agui commanded several people to lift the coffin first.

The four small boats were connected by ropes, and they were restrained from each other, but they were not too shaky, and several servants were obviously familiar with them, and it did not take much effort to lift the two coffins.

The two rattan ladders hanging down by Jiaoyi are one zhang away from the lake, more than three meters high, Agui made a difficulty, such a high position, obviously they still can't go up.

Seeing this, Gong Yi quickly took out the rope that bound the children from the prisoner car.

Two borrowed boats let Jiaoyi row away, and the remaining four carried two coffins, Gong Yi glanced around, seeing that there was no boat available, he simply tapped the water surface on tiptoe, and flew up, the snow-white sleeves swept over the clear Qingling Lake like a soft cloud, holding a yellow-brown rough hemp rope in one hand, but that posture, elegant and lofty with a chill, the beauty of the mixture of the two contradictory temperaments made the Praetorian Guards and the Black Armor Army on the shore look straight away.

Vice General Li snorted, "The Qin Wangfu looks like a girl, no wonder it can't be the climate!" ”

No one paid any attention to him.

After Gong Yi reached the bottom of the cliff, he flew up again and stood on the coffin that Agui and the others were carrying.

Gong Yi has outstanding skills and a light posture, so he didn't put too much pressure on the few people who carried the coffin.

Continuing the hemp rope on the rattan ladder as quickly as possible, Gong Yi flashed down and instructed Ah Gui, "Be careful, don't go on any errands." ”

Agui nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, my lord, it's not the first time we've hung a coffin, and we have our own measure." ”

Gong Yi bowed his head lightly and flew back to the other side.

With the hemp rope on Gong Yixu, it was much easier to climb the rattan ladder, and Ah Gui first let the two people near the bottom of the cliff go up, and gradually suspended the coffin in the air before quickly rowing back the boat to carry the winch over.

With the winch and the rattan ladder, the coffin of the two instruments rose quickly, and it didn't take long to reach the established position.

Carefully hanging the coffin of Liangyi, Agui wiped a handful of sweat and went down the rattan ladder to the bottom of the cliff.

Ah Gui shouted at the top of the mountain, "The hanging coffin is complete!" As soon as the words fell, he heard the tooth-sore sound of a dead branch breaking in the silent valley, and in an instant, the coffin of Liangyi, which had just been suspended, fell down at a speed that caught everyone off guard.

Ah Gui was shocked, and before he had time to gather everyone to row away, he felt that his back was hit by a heavy object, and then he was pressed into the bottom of the lake by the coffin of Liangyi.

Gong Yi's face was as white as paper.

Everyone gasped.

Vice General Li Huo Ran got up and looked at this scene in disbelief, and then whispered to a black-armored guard, "If you quickly return to Beijing to spread the news, it will be said that Gong Yi Jiaoyi was negligent in his duties, causing the coffin of Liangyi to fall down." In addition, a dog was also released to bite General Xue to death. ”

The soldier scratched his head blankly, "Adjutant General, isn't General Xue good?" ”

Vice General Li's face turned fierce, "I'll die later!" ”

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

Here's the point, here's the point, some of the truth is probably in the next chapter, hehe, the coffin of Liangyi is ruined, how will His Highness solve this situation? The identity of the person who assassinated Gong Yi and why Gong Yi concealed it, probably the truth will come out tomorrow, and the little angel will quickly keep up with the progress (* ̄3) (ε ̄*)
