Chapter Eighty-Four: Love Turns to Ashes
The door was extremely heavy, but when it opened, it was silent enough for three or four people to enter side by side.
Cui Yizhi was overjoyed and turned his head to look at Qin Zheng, "Cousin, as you expected, the door opened." ”
Qin Zheng bowed his head and looked inside the door, where he entered his eyes, there was a faint smoke, and he could only see the distance of a zhang zhang, and he motioned for Cui Yizhi to follow.
Cui Yizhi hurriedly followed him, and the two entered the door together.
As the two entered, the door closed slowly and silently.
After Cui Yizhi entered the door, he curiously walked past Qin Zheng and walked forward.
Qin Zheng grabbed him, "There is a cliff in front of you, so stop if you don't want to fall." ”
Cui Yizhi was shocked, turned his head to look at him, "Hang...... Cliff? ”
"Yun Smoke Rao, how is this different from when we look down from the top of Nai He Cliff?" Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows and let go of him, "If you don't believe it, you can jump down and try." ”
Cui Yizhi suddenly shook his head, "Since it's a cliff, what should I do?" ”
Qin Zheng leaned down, looked at the edge of the cliff for a moment, and said, "There is a rope on the cliff, you and I will go down." ”
Cui Yizhi breathed a sigh of relief, "I don't want to climb anymore, it's good to have a rope." ”
Qin Zheng stretched out his hand and grabbed the rope, the rope was as thick as a fist, and he jumped down with the rope.
Cui Yizhi hurriedly grabbed the rope and slid down the rope with him.
Surrounded by clouds and mist, except for this stone wall and the rope that was dragged, there was nothing around to discern.
After about half an hour of sliding, and when it was still more than a foot from the ground, you could clearly see the sparkling surface of the lake.
Cui Yizhi's face suddenly turned gray, "It won't be another lake with a cliff, right?" ”
"No!" Qin Zheng shook his head.
Cui Yizhi pulled the rope and stopped moving, and her feet were spinning around the smooth cliff wall, "I won't float." ”
"There's a bamboo raft down there!" Qin Zheng said, pulled out the hook lock on his waist and threw it out, only to hear a "click" sound, the hook lock stuck something, and then, he slammed hard, and sure enough, a bamboo raft was dragged out by her from the water and grass not far away.
Cui Yizhi breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good to have a bamboo raft." ”
Qin Zheng loosened the rope and jumped on the bamboo raft, and Cui Yizhi also jumped up.
Qin Zheng took the bamboo pole and paddled the bamboo raft, and the bamboo raft took the two of them to float forward along the lake.
The surface of the lake is so foggy that you can't see anything but the water.
Cui Yizhi spread out his palm and put it in the air for a long time, and then said, "Cousin, this fog is very peculiar, not like an ordinary fog, my hand is in the air, and it is not so wet and cold to touch, but warm and moist, very soft and comfortable." There is no moisture on the surface of the lake, nor is it cold. ”
"It's not fog." Qin Zheng said.
"Not fog? What is that? Cui Yizhi was surprised.
"It should be Meizu's fog technique. The fog technique that breeds from the aura of the surrounding mountains, rocks, grass and trees is fog rather than fog. Qin Zheng looked ahead, "Otherwise, what time is it?" At this time, how can it be foggy? ”
"Yes, it was three minutes when we opened the door, and it took more than half an hour to come down, and now it's a quarter of a minute." Cui Yizhi was stunned.
Qin Zheng stopped talking.
"This water seems to have a direction, too." Cui Yizhi looked at the surface of the water and said again.
Qin Zheng glanced down and removed the bamboo pole, although the bamboo pole had been removed, the bamboo raft was still carrying the two of them down the river.
"I don't know what lies ahead." Cui Yizhi sighed, "With my cousin, I really have a lot of knowledge." The world is indeed full of wonders. It's the first time in my life that I've seen such a dangerous place, and it's really incredible to set up a secret passage at such a clever construction site. ”
Qin Zheng didn't know what he was thinking, looked ahead, and didn't answer.
Cui Yizhi glanced at Qin Zheng, thinking that Feng Ling led them to find Xie Fanghua, chasing them all the way to this place, the more dangerous this place is, the more it shows that the person they are looking for is really extraordinary. He sensitively felt that even if his cousin found someone, he was afraid that he would not be optimistic.
This lake is very large, the water is very wide, and the bamboo raft floats all the way along the current, and after half an hour, I vaguely see the pavilions and pavilions on the opposite side.
"Cousin, look!" Cui Yizhi stabbed Qin Zheng.
Qin Zheng had naturally seen it and nodded.
After a while, the raft came to the shore, and the fog cleared, and only then did I see the situation on the other side.
To be exact, this is a village similar to a mountain villa, but it is different from the tatters of ordinary villages, and there are dozens of buildings and palaces here. Among them was the largest and tallest temple, and a man stood faintly on the terrace above.
The person was a woman, dressed in a gorgeous dress, with beaded hairpins and sideburns, and looked like a nine-day fairy in the building.
"It's Xie Fanghua!" Cui Yizhi said in a low voice.
Qin Zheng sneered, "What looks?" She is not Xie Fanghua. ”
Cui Yizhi was stunned for a moment, looked closely, and found that she was really Xie Fanghua, slightly older than Xie Fanghua, just wearing a gorgeous dress, at first glance, it really looked like Xie Fanghua's beautiful makeup in Beijing. He patted Qin Zheng, "Cousin, or do you have good eyes, who is this woman?" Do you know? ”
"The old bustard Yueniang in the Rouge Building in Pingyang City." Qin Zheng said.
"She is the old bustard of the Rouge Building in Pingyang City." Cui Yizhi looked at it carefully, and suddenly said, "Why does she look a little like a person, like a ......?"
"Moonfall is her brother!" Qin Zheng said.
Cui Yizhi realized, "I said how she looks like the hidden guard Yueluo next to the prince, it turns out that Yueluo is her younger brother." When the words fell, she wondered, "Why is she here?" Don't...... Is she from Meizu? ”
"It's not!" Qin Zheng shook his head, "She is from the Yu family of Northern Qi, called Yuyue Niang, their parents died, and she and Yueluo have been separated since childhood. One was taken by Xie Fanghua, and the other was taken by Qin Yu. ”
Cui Yizhi understood, "So Xie Fanghua is really here." ”
Qin Zheng stopped talking, and there was no emotion on his face.
Cui Yizhi stopped talking.
The two of them got off the raft, went ashore, and walked up the stone steps on the shore to the tallest and largest building.
The entire village pavilion is quiet, if it weren't for the Yueniang standing on the building, it would still make people think that it was empty.
Before the two approached, Yueniang suddenly floated down from the building, stopped in front of the two, and said with a smile, "When the master left, he said that the little prince would come here, let me wait here, and sure enough, I waited for you, the slave family is polite." After the words fell, she looked at Cui Yizhi, "This is the second son of the Qinghe Cui family?" Sure enough, he was as handsome as rumored. ”
Cui Yizhi saw that although she looked like a lady at first glance, she spoke after approaching, and sure enough, she had the air of the old bustard, and the corners of her mouth twitched, thinking that the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion upholds the etiquette of poetry and books to pass down to the world, and the Gaomen Wang clan is the most taboo place for fat powder and dust, but Miss Fanghua just accepted the Qinglou woman as her subordinate, it is really ......
Qin Zheng's face suddenly sank when he heard this, and he raised his eyebrows in a deep voice, "She left?" ”
Yueniang smiled and nodded, "The master left last night and ordered me to wait here, presumably she knew that the little prince was coming to her, and she originally planned to leave today, so she left early." ”
Qin Zheng pursed his lips, "Where did she go?" ”
Yueniang shook her head, "The master didn't say it." ”
Qin Zheng suddenly made a move, and the sword instantly crossed Yueniang's neck, his face was slightly cold, "Believe it or not, I'll kill you now." ”
"Hey, little prince, even if you kill me now, it's useless. I don't dare to lie in front of you, the master did leave yesterday, and he did order me to wait for you here, and the master left a letter for you, if you don't believe it, the slave will take out the letter to you now, and you will know after you have read it. Yueniang said immediately.
Qin Zheng snorted coldly and stretched out his hand, "Bring the letter." ”
Yueniang took out the letter in her hand and handed it to Qin Zheng.
I saw that the letter was a good peach blossom letterhead, with the word "Qin Zheng" written on the envelope, and the handwriting was beautiful, and it was indeed Xie Fanghua's handwriting.
Qin Zheng withdrew his sword and reached out to open the letterhead, but just as he was about to open it, the letterhead suddenly turned black in his hand, and turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.
Then the wind blew, and the ashes were blown away in an instant.
Qin Zheng reached out to grab it, but he didn't catch anything, only a little gray foam remained in his palm, and he jerked his head up to look at Yueniang.
Yueniang was also startled, and said in surprise, "Little Lord Zheng, you haven't read the letter yet, why did you destroy the letterhead?" ”
"I destroy the letterhead?" Qin Zheng narrowed his eyes.
"Isn't it?" Yueniang looked at him suspiciously, "What's the matter...... Ruined letterhead? ”
Qin Zheng looked at her coldly.
Yueniang was taken by his gaze and couldn't help but take two steps back.
"What did she say when she left?" Qin Zheng stared at her and asked coldly.
Yueniang thought for a while and said, "The master only ordered me to wait here, hand over this letter to the little prince Zheng, and didn't say anything." ”
"Not a word?" Qin Zheng asked.
Yueniang shook her head, "None." ”
Qin Zheng's face was cold, and he suddenly said angrily, "What is she to me?" What do you want to tell me when you leave this letter? Is love to ashes? Dream! ”
Yueniang looked at him, and then at the ash powder in his hand, and was speechless for a while.
"Is she really afraid to kill you?" Qin Zheng suddenly made another move, this time, with a murderous aura, and took Yueniang's life.
Yueniang was shocked, but Qin Zheng's sharp sword move, she couldn't dodge it at all.
Cui Yizhi was also shocked, and hurriedly shouted, "Cousin! ”
Qin Zheng was furious, and he really paid attention to killing Yueniang and asking for her life, so he left no room for it, and in the blink of an eye, the sword cut Yueniang's neck.
At the last moment, suddenly a wisp of light smoke floated from the oblique side, softly but quickly flicking away Qin Zheng's sword.
There was a soft sound of "bell", and the sword seemed to touch the golden stone. Qin Zheng was also shocked by the soft but gold-like elasticity and took a step back.
Yueniang picked up a life, sat on the ground with her ass, and reached out to touch her neck, Qin Zheng's sword was too fast, cutting the cortex of her neck, but it didn't bleed immediately, until her hand touched it, and the blood suddenly flowed out.
Yueniang saw the blood on her hands, screamed, and fainted.
Cui Yizhi was amazed when he watched Qin Zheng's sword bounce away with only a wisp of light smoke, he clearly knew how murderous Qin Zheng's sword was going to kill a person. Seeing Yueniang fainting, the wisp of light smoke withdrew, and he immediately turned his head to look in the direction where the light smoke was withdrawn.
Qin Zheng also turned around slowly and looked in the direction where the light smoke had retracted.
