Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Hearts of the Cicadas (2)

I felt very calm, I calmly fiddled with the mask in front of the bronze mirror, and at the same time sorted out the things and thoughts of the past few days in my mind, and then, turned around and walked out.

I felt as if I was walking very lightly and fast today, so much so that Jiang Wuxian only had time to ask the attendant at the door to give me an umbrella.

I had also been to the county government before, and I followed the guide into the side compartment with familiarity. The bright pavilions and water pavilions in the county government are good, but in such a bloody night rain, the crackling only makes people feel bored and disgusting.

Jiang Wuxian was always by my side, just the right distance, not slow. His silver robe glowed with a bright and gentle luster in the dark night, and the man's unique Du Ruo fragrance was fresh and pleasant, as if intentionally or unintentionally diluting the increasingly thick blood.

The door of the side compartment opened, and I saw the bloodless Yixing County Order, the finally nervous Du Yanming, and the corpse covered with a white cloth. A soldier took the white cloth, and under the flickering candlelight, I saw Yuwen Chengdu's face.

"Boom." Thunder and lightning struck, and Yuwen Chengdu's face turned whiter. Half of his head was almost smashed, and there were many arrow wounds on his body that were purple and black, and Yu Wencheng died a miserable death, his eyes were wide open and his pupils were dilated. This upright and honest young man may be unhappy for being booby-trapped and ambushed until he dies.

Think about this young man, as the eldest son of Yuwen Valve, the hottest character, but he did not become frivolous and domineering because of his power, when the world thought that Yuwen Valve would take the world, he still respected his father, respected me, a princess of unknown origin, respected everyone, and meticulously fulfilled his duties as a courtier. But he still carried out his righteousness and persevered to the end.

However, the so-called justice may be an empty word that is not easy to attack.

My heart was very blocked, I restrained the look in my eyes and stopped looking at Yuwen Chengdu's remains. In fact, it has been clearly discovered that there are spikes and patterns on the recess of Yuwen Chengdu's head, and the pattern has already explained a very important thing - the drum urn and the golden hammer, and the murderer is Li Yuanba.

Jiancheng kidnapped Yuwen Chengbi and booby-trapped Yuwen Chengdu with Yuanba, who received him.

Everyone present was silent, and with a wave of Du Yanming's hand, a soldier stepped forward and covered Yuwen Chengdu's body with a white cloth again. There is no need for the post-mortem to continue, and the results are well known. There are not many people in the side compartment, except for Jiang Wuxian and me, Du Yanming and Yixing County Order, there are only two armor soldiers. Thinking of such exciting news, Du Yanming still felt that it was better not to spread it out as soon as possible, so he didn't even use the hall of the yamen autopsy room.

"Two adults, people can't be resurrected after death, so it's better for you to hurry up and mourn and change." Jiang Wuxian chuckled, the silver beauty that covered half of his face was still the same, "Just a face that is sadder than the dead son can't cope with the anger of Lord Yuwen's dead son." ”

It's true, it's even worse at this time, Jiang Wuxie's meanness is really worthy of the name.

Sure enough, the faces of the prefect and the prefectural magistrate were a little ugly.

"But the two adults don't have to worry too much, their sons are dead, and I don't think Lord Yuwen will cut off his right hand again." Jiang Wuxian frowned while smiling, the silver figure arrived at the window in a blink of an eye, he seemed to be very disgusted by the strong smell of blood in the room, and pushed the window open with a "pong", and the sound of falling thunder and roar followed by his cynicism rumbled down.

It's really cynical, a prefect and a county order, which family can be regarded as the right-hand man of Yu Culture?

Du Yanming forcibly suppressed the blue and red on his face, and said coldly: "The death of General Tianbao is really a great regret for the imperial court. In the next place, not only must we find out the murderer to avenge General Tianbao, but also try our best to make up for the losses of the imperial court. It's a pity that the Lord of the Xia and the county order are both newcomers, and the Lord of the Jiang League has been in charge of the Baidao of the world for many years, and he has the heart of a parent official, so he has to ask the Lord of the Jiang League to help more and take care of it more. ”

Jiang Wuxie's eyes jumped, he raised his chin slightly, and sighed with interest: "Look at what the prefect said, I don't dare to do this." How can the recklessness of the rivers and lakes be compared with the management of affairs. The prefect is a newcomer, and in Changzhou, I have only been to Yanling and Wujin. ”

Du Yanming's two eyebrows finally twisted together.

Jiang Wuxian still had such a yin and yang weird smile that he didn't know how to restrain himself, the window was still open, his silver wide sleeves were hunting, his long hair was as dark as the night with his teeth and claws, and the thunder was always smiling gently with him, but there was no sense of disobedience.

Jiang Wuxian is really more like a ghost. He looked at Du Yanming's expression, as if he was very happy, his smile was very good-looking, and he added with great concern: "But the matter has come to this, and it is also a knife to stretch out and shrink your head." It's better for the prefect to let go of his hands and feet to show some skills, and I also said that I don't think Lord Yuwen will cut off his right hand for this matter. ”

Du Yanming finally let go of his eyebrows and smiled helplessly: "If you are not talented, you still have to ask the Jiang League to help you." After speaking, he bowed deeply. Jiang Wuxian accepted it indifferently, and then said reluctantly: "Even so, I can only be respectful and obey my fate." ”

Well, I've always felt that the two of them are very good, and I have a vague feeling that they seem to have made a big deal in just a few short sentences.

Du Yanming's expression was very entangled, but he just led inside: "There is a lot of blood here, let's stop disturbing General Tianbao's rest, please ask Jiang Alliance Master and Miss Yu to move inside, there are many things to discuss with the two of you." Please. "Very polite, even very respectful. Then, lead the way in front yourself. Jiang Wuxian naturally didn't care about this kind of thing of letting the prefect be a child servant guiding the way. The corridor in front is not narrow, and the two of them are not crowded at all, but Jiang Wuxian is just unwilling to say a few polite words in parallel with Du Yanming, and Du Yanming has been making an awkward gesture of "please" in front. In his eyes, it seemed that he couldn't look down on Du Yanming to be a child servant for him, so he followed unceremoniously.

The county magistrate was shocked by Jiang Wuxie's aura and the prefect's attitude, and he also respectfully made a "please" gesture to me, and then walked behind me.

Tonight's rainstorm made me feel very uncomfortable with the dim light coming in through the window on the side of the cloister.

"Pong".

I instinctively pulled out my Guan Ju sword, and was surprised to find that an iron plate had fallen from the rear separating me from the county commander.

There is fraud.

The first reaction was to rush forward and reach out to grab Du Yanming.

However, Jiang Wuxie in front of me fought back, opening his arms to protect me.

I looked into his eyes.

With such a mistake, Du Yanming had already pushed open the secret door on the other side of the wall and fled. I threw myself into the air, and the windows were already under the iron plates. At such a speed, in one go, it is really a wonderful mechanism.

The wind came in the back of my head. As soon as I stood still, dozens of crossbows behind me had already fired arrows in unison, and the sound of "search" cut through the air and rushed in.

A silver patch was in front of me. Jiang Wuxie's long sleeves rolled up, and the sharp arrows that galloped back at a gallop, the speed was enough to reflect Jiang Wuxie's anger.

However, the arrows galloped back, occasionally grazing against the walls. Then, I saw Mars.

Before I moved my legs, the soles of my feet were already light, and Jiang Wuxie reacted much faster than me, but even so, he didn't have time to say anything at all, so he stopped me and ran away. He was hugged around his waist, and in an instant he was swept into a soft cloud of silver. Jiang Wuxie's unique Du Ruo aroma enveloped me. I went limp, and I could clearly feel my face flushing, and it was red to the base of my neck.

But now I don't care so much. This time, I didn't have time to explain anything, and when I saw what was ahead of us, I only had time to gather all my internal strength and shout, "Get down." ”

"Pong pong pong pong." The walls on both sides were filled with gunpowder, and the sound of explosions drowned out my voice. I lay on my back on the ground, Jiang Wuxian pounced on me, and a mouthful of blood spat on the side of my face. His face was buried in the socket of my neck, and I couldn't see his face clearly, but I knew that he must be very bad now. He's using his back to block a chain of explosions for me.

Without further ado, Guan Jujian's sword light was as bright as a meteor flying across the sky, and a sword infused with all my internal strength split the dense diamond threads in front of me, and then I hugged Jiang Wuxie and rolled forward on the spot. At a distance of millimeters ahead, there are diamond wires densely covered vertically and horizontally. If Fang Cai hadn't stopped, Jiang Wuxian and I would have already been dismantled.

It's a pity that before I could relax, I suddenly lost weight under me.

I whispered in my heart to Du Yanming's eighteenth generation ancestors, and I swear that since I was born, I have never exploded so many foul words at once.

It's actually a serial scheme, and there are traps.

With Jiang Wuxian landing steadily, the portal of the trap above has been closed, and I don't want to jump up, the light blue and micro gold color light up the darkness that I can't see my fingers.

But it was a muffled sound.

The sound was wrong, and I reached up and touched it. Suddenly, my heart was half cold. With the sharpness of Guan Ju's sword, with the blow of all my internal force, it almost didn't cause any damage to this iron plate. The hardness and strength of this substance even exceed that of dark iron and steel. No wonder no matter how Fang Cai blew up, the walls on both sides were as immovable.

A mechanism made in one go, gunpowder that has no taste at all, a diamond wire unique to southern Xinjiang, and such a strong steel ...... There shouldn't be such good things in the county and county mansions, but we have been here every day before, and it is impossible for the construction of such a large-scale trap to hide from me and Jiang Wuxian at the same time. This is actually ...... Was it made in a day? It doesn't feel very right.

However, this is not the top priority.

Once again, I swept down to Jiang Wuxie's side. It was pitch black in the trap, but Jiang Wuxie's heavy gasps were enough for me to identify his location. "Let me see your injuries first."

"Nope." Jiang Wuxian pressed my hand, "No, ignition of fire, here maybe, it may be, it may be, airtight, it will not be enough." Jiang Wuxie, who has always been evil and unbridled, actually gasped even when he spoke. Also, such a violent close-range explosion, he actually carried it hard with his back. Even if he is true qi to protect his body, even if his martial arts are high, his internal organs must be very badly injured.

I don't feel good.

There was silence in the darkness for a while, and they were speechless, leaving only Jiang Wuxie's gasping voice.

"Jiang Wuxie......" I said softly, "we should, what should we do?" ”

Even the wheezing stopped now. Jiang Wuxian seemed to laugh, but the wolf couldn't hide the originally beautiful and laughing voice: "You're finally going to ask me what to do, Jin Scale." However, he did not continue to tease me, gasped a few times, and continued: "This trap, first, knock on it first, look around, look, what's wrong." ”

I groped and helped Jiang Wuxian to sit against the wall, and I first pressed his heart to infuse him with true qi to help him heal. Although it was pitch black, I could feel that Jiang Wuxian, who had always been proud, was hanging his head at the moment, and his wheezing sound made my heart tremble.

"Don't waste it, it's really angry, save some use. This little injury...... "Jiang Wuxian pressed my hand, maybe he didn't want to get close to me at this time, let me find out how weak he was."

"Then stop talking." I had no choice but to stand up and, as he had said, groped for what I could knock into the place I could get through, little by little. However, the back of the wall is solid, and there are no mechanisms, so it's completely a death row. "You say, does Du Yanming want to kill us or trap us?" I asked Jiang Wuxian while carefully knocking on the walls around me, otherwise the atmosphere in such a small space was really embarrassing, and Jiang Wuxie's weak gasps and the sound of constantly banging on the walls would only make people more upset.

Jiang Wuxian sighed, was silent for a while, and said, "You want to kill us...... Yuwen Chengdu is dead, Yuwen Chengbi...... I'm afraid that it's not so easy to get it back. At this time, only by taking our head, Xiang, Xiang Yu Culture and atonement for his sins, can he be left with his life. After a pause, he added, "Besides, it doesn't do him much good just to trap us." Jiang Wuxian spoke a little smoother than before.

"But since you are determined to kill us." I said softly, "Why don't you have some traps in this trap and just wait for us to suffocate to death?" ”

The sound of the rapids pouring in from above.

Well, now you don't have to worry about suffocating due to lack of air.

But I think I'm in danger of drowning......

No matter how high the martial arts are, it is impossible to fight against nature, and Du Yanming's hand is really poisonous. I don't have to think about it to know that my face is white now.

Jiang Wuxie's wheezing voice was also drowned out by the sound of water. I knew I couldn't let him do it again this time, his body couldn't stand it. Thinking about it, along the way, it was he who brought me out of Daxing Palace, and then he fought He Ji and broke through Wagang, he was protecting me, and he was helping me. Even when we met for the first time, it was he who generously waved his hand and donated the Youbang mansion and gave me and Jiancheng a big gift. Unconsciously, I was reduced to the point where I couldn't do anything but rely on others?

I couldn't help but clench my fists, I really hate myself like this. So this time, no matter what, it's going to be me to protect him.

"Jiang Wuxie, you can't drown, right?"

I was answered with a chuckle: "Cut, this little injury, who do you think you're talking to?" ”

Looks like I've used similar lines too. After receiving Jiang Wuxie's affirmative answer, I said, "Okay, then leave it to me next." After speaking, he rose lightly.

In the dark night, there were thousands of continuous lights flickering, the stars flew through the sky, and the phantom flame feather coat enhanced the true qi of the whole body attached to the Guan Ju sword, and a long river of faint gold overturned the world.

A peerless weapon, a shot, is a thunderbolt.

Ten swords, each sword is full force, each sword is a crack and a thunderbolt hill collapse, and even stirs up a column of water like a sharp arrow to hit the iron portal. It's easy to drain what I have left. All of my attacks were precisely controlled to one point.

However, the iron plate portal remained untouched.

I didn't have any more strength, so I stagnated in my dantian and fell heavily into the water.
