Chapter 15 Digging Three Feet into the Ground
Jumped out suddenly, with a hand knife - pay the ticket and don't kill!
……
------Off topic------
In the last moment, I saw only a pair of delicate, pointed shoes.
The back of her neck suddenly numb, and her eyes went black.
However, she didn't get around in time.
She just stood still, holding on to an old bamboo, and was about to raise her head, when suddenly her heart jumped, and Huo Ran turned around.
Under the feet are thick cascading bamboo leaves, and some new bamboo shoots break through the ground, slightly pressing against the soles of the feet, and the sound is loud.
The bamboo forest is full of light and shadow, the pale green leaves pull the thin wind, and the sunlight occasionally appears from the depths of the secluded fence, and the golden light shines in all directions.
Of course, she still didn't want to fall into the hands of Yu Guangting, and she tried her best to flash her body, and flashed into the courtyard wall after cultivating bamboo, this is the dead end she was optimistic about before, she wants to do the opposite, after everyone thinks she is out of the wall, she still stays in the manor, the so-called most dangerous place, and it is the safest.
At this moment, she "throws" the bones that Yu Guangting values very much out of the wall, making it look like someone is responding, even if her poisonous hair is caught by Yu Guangting, Yu Guangting will not be a killer like before.
Jing Hengbo smiled, and suddenly felt a lot more at ease, she ran all the way, just to see Yu Guangting's reaction, the more quickly Yu Guangting chased harder, the more it showed that this bone was very important to him, so the less likely it was Yelu Qi.
She was answered, she threw the bones out!
The white light flashed, something was thrown out of the wall, and the guards behind looked at it inexplicably, but Yu Guangting, who came from afar, changed his face.
She ran to the wall, stopped for a moment, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw the pursuers surging behind her, raised her hand and threw it, and said loudly to the outside of the wall: "There is something wrong with this bone, go back and check it carefully!" ”
A sneer appeared at the corner of Jing Hengbo's lips - he tried his best to kill her here quietly? But she didn't really want to leave!
I don't know how many people Yu Guangting brought, the whole manor is full of people, almost no dead ends, many people are skillful, holding long chains, following closely behind her, constantly throwing chains or darts with ropes, it seems that Yu Guangting has guessed that she may appear in Linzhou before coming, and has found a way to deal with her teleportation, if she doesn't flash fast, she will be wrapped around her ankles by those chains and ropes several times.
This location was close to the continuous courtyard wall of the manor, she was dizzy and irritable at the moment, and after a few teleportations, she felt as if all her strength had been sucked, and she knew that this poisonous smoke was more powerful than she imagined.
At this time, Jing Hengbo was in the northwest corner of the manor.
……
Yerod rarely heard Yu Guangting respect a person so much, and couldn't help but be curious, and when he was about to ask, he suddenly heard a noise in the northwest corner of the manor, Yu Guangting's expression moved, and he hurried over.
Of course, Yelud knows that although Yu Guangting is in power, it is said that this position is not very stable, several princes of the king of Yu have reached adulthood, and they have obtained fiefs early, and they have supported the army and made strong forces, and they have always been dissatisfied with this uncle who controls the government.
Yu Guangting saw his question and said with a smile: "This is my life-saving benefactor." You know, I have an old illness, this time I came from Toyosu, I was in a hurry, I had an old illness, and the medical officer I brought with me accidentally fell off a cliff, thanks to her and her master's rescue. This girl is okay, but her master, but I admired it at first sight. If I can get this person as a strategist, I will no longer bother me with those difficult things in the current court situation. ”
Yu Guangting handed the cup back to the girl and said, "Please have a good rest, Mr., and Xiao Wang will come to visit when he comes back." The girl nodded Mu Ran, did not salute, turned around and left. Yelud paid attention to her footsteps, but saw that there were no footprints on the mud floor, and he felt even more incredible—how could Yu Guangting let someone with such high martial arts get close?
Yelude looked at him a little shocked, as far as he knew, Yu Guangting had a cautious and suspicious temperament, and he couldn't get close to him unless he was an absolute cronie who had been with him for many years, let alone this, he didn't arrange for anyone to test the poison, so he drank the things sent by others.
The girl nodded slightly, then pointed to the cup again, motioning for him to finish. There was no respect in that expression, but Yu Guangting didn't think it was a pestle, laughed, and took a sip to drink dry.
Yu Guangting's expression was very natural, he glanced at the silver cup in her hand, and said with a smile: "Mr. has arrived?" ”
A young girl walked into the courtyard at this time, she appeared so suddenly, her steps were as light as a ghost, and when she walked to Yuguangting, Yerod found her.
The guards carried the corpse away in shock, and Yu Guangting didn't look at it from beginning to end. He was angry, the green energy between his eyebrows kept flashing, and suddenly his brows were slightly furrowed, and he raised his hand to hold down his heart.
Yerod wrinkled his old face, motioned for the guards to come forward to clean up his grandson's body, and said, "The Seventh Young Master was killed by the assassins, and a funeral will be arranged. ”
Whether you have a question or an unwillingness, in the face of the desperation of the superiors, there will never be an answer.
Jeruzhe fell down with a bang, and until he died, his eyes were dead, staring at the pale sky.
There was a faint smell of blood in the air, and Yeluzhe's half-bent body stiffened for a long time, and Yelude turned his head, his face was unbearable, and he lightly piled up.
Yeluzhe was rushing towards him, intending to ask his grandfather, who had always loved him, to intercede for him, but his grandfather's mortal blow was instantaneous.
Yerod still lowered his head, but the bruises on his clenched cheeks were exposed, and he said in a deep voice: "Your ...... Got it! He took a step back, stretched his sleeve, and slammed it on the top of Yeluzhe's head.
"Do you still think you took credit for trapping the Queen?" Yu Guangting's smile was peaceful, but the murderous intent in his eyes was like a sword, Huo Ran shouted, "You idiot! Even if there is no such thing, trapping the queen will only make it difficult for us to ride the tiger! Jerod! Do you want this idiot to get in my way again, you can do it! ”
Yeluzhe was shocked, and took a step back in shock, "Your Highness! Although I was taken prisoner by negligence, but! But I also ensnared the Queen......"
The next moment, he heard Yu Guangting say: "You good grandson, with a group of important children from Linzhou and even Dadu, was taken away, and those children were still imprisoned over there, but he ran back by himself." How do you think you should deal with escaping like this, ignoring the overall situation, making mistakes, and pretending to be a smart person? ”
Yerod bowed his head and did not dare to answer, Yeluzhe looked at all this in front of him in horror, and then looked at the guards who had all withdrawn from the courtyard, and suddenly realized that something was wrong.
"Your distinguished guest didn't find out, but your good grandson did." Yu Guangting's smile was cold.
Yelude's face was slightly embarrassed, and he leaned over and said: "Back to the prince, it was originally sealed, and a distinguished guest came last year, from the large number of people, the requirements are also picky, the whole manor looks at it, only willing to live in this courtyard, the minister had no choice but to open this courtyard temporarily, but the distinguished guest only stayed for one night, and did not find anything ......"
He motioned to the masters around him to chase after him, looked at the courtyard with his hands, and said to Yelude: "Old man, when this king told you that this courtyard should be sealed, why have you not been sealed?" ”
Yu Guangting was not impatient, he knew that the poisonous candle smoke was powerful, and he also laid a net in this manor, no matter how strong the queen's ability was, she would not be able to escape from this manor.
If you don't do it, the matter has come to this point, and it would be foolish to hesitate again, this time even Jerod sighed and ordered all the children of the whole house to participate in the pursuit.
"Chase!"
Everyone shuddered, Yu Guangting's face was even more ugly, he didn't expect Jing Hengbo to run away without saying a word, and he didn't expect the queen's so-called light skills to be as weird as the legend.
It did look like a ghost, with a disheveled head, a pale face, covered in dirt and blood.
The soldiers in the courtyard looked overhead in horror - this woman is a ghost? The top of her head is woven with a large net of gold wire, and there is no damage, how did she get out?
Jing Hengbo held the white bones in his arms, and his figure flashed, and he had already penetrated the huge net above his head that covered the entire courtyard.
On the other side, Yu Guangting slowly raised his hand, it seemed that he didn't intend to give her a chance to reveal his identity at all, and he wanted to kill her in this courtyard.
Jing Hengbo's chaotic mood suddenly calmed down a bit, and he began to think about another possibility.
Why is Yu Guangting's face so ugly? It's like she's digging up his father's bones.
Jing Hengbo didn't think that Yeluqi and Yuguangting would have any intersection, Yeluqi left Yuguo early to go to Emperor Ge, and at that time Yuguangting was still a prince who was obscure, with Yeluqi's identity and status in the Yelu family, he would not have any dealings with Yuguangting.
A dignified regent, not sitting in the national capital, suddenly running here to do something? is also very concerned about the white bones in her hands.
Yu Guangting, the regent of Yu State, when she went out of Beijing, she had already seen the portraits of the rulers of all countries and tribes.
The look in his eyes was so fierce that she wondered, and then she remembered who this man was.
There was a tall man opposite, staring at the white bones in her hands, his eyes like an eagle.
As soon as she landed, she staggered, the world swirled, she knew that the poisonous smoke and the mood at the moment had affected her physical condition, she could have flashed farther, and now, as soon as she looked up, she saw a courtyard full of people, dense troops, black arrowheads, and a large net scattered in the air.
Jing Hengbo gritted his teeth and dug out the white bones, and his body flashed to the courtyard.
The bones were buried deep in the ground, and because the earth was moist, it was impossible to tell how long they had been dead.
……
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Yu Guangting and made a gesture, and his heart sank.
But he didn't dare to be optimistic, if the queen died here, the regent could leave, what should the Yelu family do? Did the queen really only bring the 2,000-person escort team when she left Beijing? Let's not say that the Kang Dragon Army and the Yuzhao Dragon Cavalry are both loyal deployments of the queen, at least the Heng Halberd Army led by Pei Shu cannot be completely inactive, and it is rumored that Pei Shaoshuai is not relaxed to the queen, but he insists that Qingshan will not relax.
He knew Yu Guangting's plan, the queen came to Yu country quietly, and Di Ge did not spread the news that the queen went out to Beijing to inspect, which means that the queen hid her identity, and Yu Guangting wanted to take this opportunity to solve the queen here without knowing it.
He understood what Yu Guangting meant, the secret of Yu Guangting hidden deep underground, could not be discovered by anyone, and now Yeluzhe was stupid and brought the queen here by mistake, the queen has been in the house for so long, it is obvious that she has discovered the underground things. So Yu Guangting is going to kill people.
The identity of the people in the house is not trivial, they are just a branch of the Yelu family, do they really dare to do such a shocking case?
The hands in Jerod's sleeves were clenched, and his palms were slightly sweaty.
In the courtyard, Yelude looked at Yu Guangting several times, but was calmed by Yu Guangting's gloomy and resolute face.
……
The smoke was thick and heavy, and her back swayed slightly.
Jing Hengbo's eyes were suddenly a little blurry, the snow-white stripes, shaking into an illusory white light and shadow, she shook, her hand propped up in the mud, the tip of the white bone pierced out sharply, piercing her palm, bright red blood seeped into the white bone, black, red and white were so bright that it was terrifying.
The ground here may be relatively humid, the earth is black, and the water is shining, because the white bone that is exposed is extremely white, and it is like a knife poking into the eye.
Then she stopped.
She stopped her hand, stayed for a moment, and pounced on it, her palm flicking again and again.
She gritted her teeth, and blood dripped down and fell into the dirt, washing away some of the black soil, revealing a faint hint of white.
Two of the fingernails had fallen off, and the rest were bloodstained, and the mud and sand had embedded in the wound, and the heartburn was painful.
The Mingyue Mental Method she practiced originally had the theory of cleansing the heart, in fact, it was able to be cowardly, but after all, she did not have a great success, and she was in such an environment for a long time.
A shallow pit was dug in the ground, Jing Hengbo's movements had slowed down, she felt a little dizzy and nauseated, and knew in her heart that she had been poisoned.
Countless small insects, mosquitoes and flies fell from the corner of the wall, and they all turned black.
Smoke swirled through the dimly lit room, tangled and entangled in knots, devouring living beings like poisonous dragons.
……
The matter has come to this point, and I can only say goodbye!
He exchanged a glance with Yerod, Yerod was a little hesitant, but Yu Guangting's gaze was firm and cold.
That idiot of Jerüzhe, where is the booby trap queen going, why did you bring her here!
After hearing that the Emperor Ge escort team passed through Linzhou of Yuguo, he rushed from Fengzhou, originally to talk to the Yelu family and stop their rescue of Yelu Min's action, who knew that as soon as he arrived in Linzhou, he heard that although the eldest prince was rescued, but the children of the nobles of Linzhou were captured, he knew that it was not good, so he hurried to hurry, but he still saw the thing he didn't want to see.
When he looked at the room again, a trace of green light crossed his face.
Yu Guangting's gaze swept coldly from Yeluzhe again-looking at a dead man's gaze.
He looked back at the courtyard with some unease, and intuitively felt that he had made a fatal mistake, but he did not understand what had been wrong, could there be something wrong with this courtyard? But in the entire Yelu family, only this courtyard has the most complete organs, so if you don't use it here, how can you keep the queen?
He stepped forward to salute with anxiety, he didn't dare to say anything about those captives, and first whispered that it was the queen who was locked up inside, thinking that he could get a word of praise from his grandfather, but he didn't want Yelude's face to change for the better, although Yu Guangting's face couldn't see any emotion, but the gaze that swept over made Yeluzhe break out in a cold sweat in an instant.
At this time, the first person in Yu didn't look at him, staring straight at the courtyard over there, Yeluzhe only felt that his eyes were a little strange, like disgust, like anger, and seemed to have a murderous aura, but the eyes flashed away, and when he looked at it again, it was still that calm face.
His heart became nervous - could it be that the kidnapping of the children of the Linzhou nobles that happened just last night had already been known to the regent? But it can't be so fast.
It's just that the regent has recently been inspecting Fengzhou, which is three hundred miles away, how could he suddenly come to Linzhou? Although the young man Yu who molested the woman in the market and was beaten was his third son, as far as Yeluzhe knew about the regent, it seemed that this matter was not weighty enough for him to come suddenly.
The Jerudian was found to have been meritorious in the escort and pursuit of the Assassins, and remained close to the regent.
Everyone around seemed a lot quieter - the regent of Yu State, who was the beloved brother of the King of Yu State, was not visible before, but two years ago he accompanied the King of Yu to inspect the southern border, and encountered assassins near Linzhou, the King was seriously injured, and the regent who was still the prince at the time almost died to save the king, and then the king drove back to Luan, the king of Yu was seriously injured and paralyzed and could not be a director, Yu Guangting was quite trustworthy, and gradually grasped the power and became the regent, and then by tracking down the assassination, he wantonly excluded dissidents, consolidated his power, and acted decisively, and now he seems to be the new king of Yu.
There is a tall man with a gloomy face standing next to Yerod, the man's appearance is ordinary, but he is well-maintained, his complexion is crystal clear, he can't tell his real age, and his clothing style and color are also ordinary, but only the noble background can see the extreme exquisiteness, a pair of eyebrows are extremely thick and black, and the eyebrows seem to have three points of evil, when looking at people, his eyes sweep from under the black eyebrows, and he is like a cyan blade flashing.
How could the Lord Regent suddenly appear here?
Footsteps sounded behind him, and he turned around to see Jerod walking with a guest, and when he looked closely at the guest, his eyes widened.
Capturing the Queen, no matter what, can turn passive into active. He can also account for the capture of the captivity.
Yeluzhe stood outside the courtyard, counting the hours, and the smile on the corner of his lips grew bigger and bigger—the time to be able to hold her breath to block the poisonous smoke had passed, and the queen would be more or less poisoned, and she would not be able to escape from the Yelu family.
……
It's a race against death, the smoke of poison is slowly approaching like a demon, and she's looking for a hope of life.
"Click." The porcelain broke with a sound, she simply picked it up with her hands, she had always had some crystal nails, and soon they were rolled and blurred, and her hands were full of mud and blood, she didn't pay attention to it, the fog behind her was getting thicker and thicker, but she moved faster and faster, the mud turned behind her, and she was almost buried in the dirt pit.
She took the ring into her arms, shook her head, shook off the vague feeling that gradually came out of her mind, and continued to dig down, but the soil below became hard, as if she had been hard with her feet, and her heart thumped again.
She immediately understood the meaning of the marks on the chair - the notches on the armrests and legs of the chair did not provide any information, but only prompted her to open the chair to look underneath, and hinted at the notch on the back of the ring buried under the chair that was the mark he had left her.
Jing Hengbo remembered that there were three layers of mechanisms in this ring, among which the poisonous needle was secretly pierced, she opened the mechanism and found that the poisonous needle was gone, she rubbed the ring, and sure enough, she felt that there were traces on the back of the ring.
She held the ring, her heart pounded, Yeluqi really left a mark for her, he guessed that she would come to him, guessed that he might be taken through the country of Yu, leaving this ring to tell her that he was okay? No, it should mean something else.
Fortunately, the porcelain piece couldn't dig a few times, and I saw a ring, this ring looked very familiar, bronze ring, inlaid with opal, Jing Hengbo thought for a while, and then remembered that it was very similar to the ring that Yeluqi gave her for self-defense, and was later turned into a collar flower by Gong Yin. After the ring became the collar flower, she put it together with the clothes, and then she never used it again, and now she looks at the ring, which turns out to be a pair.
Jing Hengbo didn't listen to him at all, just to disturb her mind. She knelt on the edge of her chair, hurriedly picking up the bricks, digging through the dirt as fast as she could, and the aura behind her became even more chaotic, and although she held her breath, she couldn't hold on for long.
A guard squatted in the corner of the wall to blow the wind, and the poisonous smoke slowly dispersed into the room, and Yeluzhe smiled more and more satisfied, he knew that the more he said this, the more unlikely it was that Jing Hengbo would leave the chair and come out first.
Outside, Yeluzhe looked at him coldly, and said with a gloomy smile: "Your Majesty, why don't you come out?" Maybe I lied to you? Maybe there's a mechanism under this chair, and although you can find it, Yeluqi doesn't find it, right? ”
Jing Hengbo originally thought that there would be a tunnel or an iron plate underneath, but it was still the ground, but there were indeed traces of excavation.
Remove the armrests and chair legs and throw them aside, pry open the green bricks on the floor, and after three layers of bricks, it is dirt.
The words on the armrests of the chair are not legible, and the hand feels like it is not a word, or a messy notch, and she doesn't think that this must be the message left by Yeluqi, if Yeluqi leaves a letter to her, she should choose a more ingenious way.
She turned her eyes around and saw that there was a vase on the Bogu shelf, and the flowers in it had wilted, so she took it and smashed it, tore off a piece of her shirt and wet it, covered it on her mouth and nose, took a piece of porcelain in her hand, and excavated it.
But don't think twice about it at this point.
Xu Pingran was on the run, pursued by Pei Shu, traveled thousands of miles, and took Yeluqi with him, if Yeluqi could be used by her, maybe she would love him and not touch him, but judging from Yeluzhe's description, it is obvious that she and Yeluqi do not get along well, in this case, with the arrogant and arrogant nature of the Sect Master of the Snow Mountain, how can she always tolerate Yeluqi?
I'm afraid that Yeluqi is really buried in the ground.
She raised her hand, her fingertips trembling a little, and she exhaled, knowing in her heart that although she said that she didn't believe it or not, she was still afraid.
Although I don't believe that Yeluqi will die here, what clues will be left behind?
She could leave, but she couldn't leave at this time, and she had to dig into the ground under this chair.
These thoughts flashed through her, and she didn't think much about it at this time, the windows and doors of the room had fallen into an enclosed space, and the air had become chaotic, and it seemed that Jeruzhe was not lying, and the poisoned candle was still lit somewhere.
Jing Hengbo had a slight question in his heart, did the Yelu family really have such a complete set of organs in every room? How much does that cost? According to Yeluzhe, this courtyard is a guest room dedicated to entertaining top guests, no one comes on weekdays, and it has only been used three times since it was built, two of which are lived by Yu Guangting, the prime minister and regent of Yu State, and the last time is Xu Pingran. Jing Hengbo thought of the legendary very iron-fisted prince of Yu State, and then remembered that the king of Yu seemed to be seriously ill on the way out, and he still lingered on the sickbed, so the state affairs fell into the hands of Yu Guangting, and then thought of the status of the Yelu family in Yu Kingdom, and Yu Guangting lived in this courtyard twice, somehow, I suddenly felt that there seemed to be some connection between these things.
The tiles were not completely removed, and the smoke would seep through the cracks in the tiles, and in the dark and dreary room, it was impossible to tell which of the candles were hidden behind them.
Jing Hengbo's heart sank. It seems that this house is really densely packed, and the bricks under the base of the wall can be moved, this guy must have put the candle in the iron cover, and then pulled the wall brick open, and stuck the iron cover in, so that even if she can control the object remotely, she can't smash it into the wall, and she can't be sure which wall root it is.
After a while, Yeluzhe stood up, his head was bleeding backwards, the poisoned candle in his hand was gone, but there were a few more bricks, he sneered and waved the brick in his hand at Jing Hengbo, his face was full of vicious smugness.
Jing Hengbo stared at the poisonous candle in his hand, waved his hands continuously, the stone bench and water tank in the courtyard flew up and smashed down, Yeluzhe dodged, while taking a black iron cover from the guard's hand, slamming the head against those rocks, and put the candle into the iron cover, leaving only a small hole in the cover, he looked around, squatted down, Jing Hengbo suddenly couldn't see him, only felt that he seemed to be moving in the corner of the wall.
Yeluzhe had already retreated into the courtyard, and the bell rang in the distance, and a large number of Yeluzhe guards rushed into the courtyard, and Yeluzhe said loudly: "Quickly inform grandpa, the key criminals who have captured the children of the Linzhou Sect are here, please tell me how to deal with them!" He took a pill from his bosom and took it.
