Chapter 213: Masquerade Feast
The woman rescued the twenty soldiers in the front building according to her words and deeds, Luo Youlan carried the dragon sword, went up to the house, crossed the wall, and reached the peak behind the wall. I didn't go far, and sure enough, I saw the silver light shining at the foot of the peak, gurgling water, a shallow stream with twists and turns, flowing around the foot of the peak, and the body of the stream was extremely narrow.
Luo Youlan crossed the stream, followed the direction pointed out by the woman, and ran along the stream to the left.
Although the stars and the moon are dark, this silver serpent-like stream at your feet is a wonderful guide. At the end of the stream, it has reached the back of the peak, the rocks are chaotic, the grass has no path, there is no way to doubt, carefully identify, only to see the high and low stone crevices, but there is a tortuous path. After walking the winding path, the terrain gradually rises and climbs to a rocky top.
Suddenly hearing someone talking in this rock, she panicked and shrank her feet, looked in the direction, hid the crane, hid the past, hidden behind a tall pine, and snooped secretly. I vaguely saw two tall men, each holding a long pole and a shuttle dart in their hands, standing under a cliff twenty paces away, blocking their main way down the rock. I thought that it would be easy to kill these two people, but if I alarmed others, I would make a mistake. After a while, it took some time.
Suddenly, one of them said: "The second aunt is really willful, since she has caught the Li family, she should be sent to Dazhai." Wouldn't it be brilliant in front of the people? Teach the heroes who came, wouldn't our Pegasus Village be greatly glorified! I also heard that there was a woman who escaped, and it is said that she was the female Rakshasa of the Secret Demon Cliff back then. escaped from this female devil, and should report to Dazhai to know. She didn't do this, she didn't do business, put the Li family kid upstairs, and did the things that couldn't see people, but taught us to stay here, you see the sky has changed, maybe the rain is coming, it's really unlucky!"
The other said: "There is a serious matter, this time I can't take care of a lot, I have to report to Lord Liu Zhai." ”
Luo Youlan heard the reason for their words, and thought to herself that if she let this kid report to Liu Huzi, she would be alone, and her husband's life would be even more dangerous. In the blink of an eye, he was afraid that this person would run away, so he panicked and changed his left hand, touched the dart bag, and took out two meridian bone nails that sealed his throat with blood. With an arrow step of the brush, he rushed to the side of the cliff, and as soon as he raised his wrist, the two meridian nails shot out, and the person followed the hidden weapon. The two stupid men, who didn't even fully summon a "ah-yo", hit their throats and pierced their temples, and immediately fell to the ground. He didn't even see the shadow of the enemy, and he died in a daze.
Luo Youlan took a meridian nail on the corpse, hid it in a dart bag, and carried the two corpses to a secluded place. When I saw the opposite side surrounded by mountains, there was a dark bamboo forest in the middle, covering a wide area, and I knew that it was the mountain dock that the woman said. Hurriedly walked down the rocky slope and into the bamboo forest.
In the night, no matter whether there is a road under your feet or not, you will go straight through the cracks in the bamboo forest. However, the bamboo forest is dense and wide, and the soles of the feet step on a thick layer of withered bamboo leaves under the forest, so it is inevitable that there will be a rattling sound, so you have to use light skills, tiptoe with your breath, and you have to always be on guard against whether there is an enemy and attack secretly. This time, it was not free, and it took a little time.
Because this bamboo forest goes straight through, there are many roads, so it takes a lot of work. When I was about to walk through the bamboo forest, I suddenly saw the fire outside the forest flickering, and the voices were particularly mixed, so I shrank in a panic. When I looked carefully outside the forest, I saw that on a path along the bamboo forest, there were about a dozen big men, holding pine fire high, rushing forward. The two big men in the middle carried a wooden plank, and a man was tied to it. In the light of the fire, the people tied to the planks seemed to be tightly wrapped in red silk, with their heads and feet tightly wrapped, and tied to the planks with ropes.
Luo Youlan was shocked, she expected that the person on the wooden board must be Li Chengfeng. When she saw this, she almost fainted. With two swords and a bag of meridian nails, he washed Pegasus Village in blood, killed all the old and young of Liu Huzi's family, and then killed his husband. She made up her mind and changed her mind, no longer having to look for the Rouge Tiger first, and see where they were going.
But I heard a person in the leader's costume in this group of big men, shouting loudly: "Hurry up, hurry up! Tonight, Liu Ergu took care of the general situation, won the respect, and handed over this kid." When you arrive in Dazhai, there must be a good show. ”
A group of soldiers giggled and carried forward. When Luo Youlan heard this, she even believed that it was Li Chengfeng who carried it.
At this time, Luo Youlan decided that Li Chengfeng had been poisoned, and all thoughts were lost, and she was determined to be martyred.
Killing a few soldiers didn't help, and it was Liu Huzi's family who wanted to kill the old and young. Since I heard that this group of soldiers was going to be carried to Dazhai, I could borrow them to lead the way, and I was not afraid that I would not see Liu Huzi.
She waited until the group of soldiers went a little farther away, and immediately jumped out of the forest, aiming at the fire in front of her, and followed all the way in. She had a certain heart of death, and she was never prepared to retreat, her two eyes were only fixed on a group of soldiers in front of her, and she did not pay attention to anything else.
After walking like this for a while, he suddenly saw the soldiers in front of him turn towards a rock corner.
Luo Youlan panicked and hurried to the corner of the rock to take a look invisibly. This mountain road, leading to the higher place of the terrain, there is a large blockhouse with a back rock building, surrounded by a short tiger skin stone wall, and the outside of the wall is full of towering ancient trees, covering the houses in the blockhouse. I saw the firelight and candlelight in the village, and the voices of people were faint. The team of soldiers carried Li Chengfeng from outside the wall to the front gate.
Luo Youlan didn't stop, unfolded her body, hid herself from the woods beside the road, and went straight to the wall. Thinking about the front walled gate, there must be many people and many eyes, so it is better to enter here. Suddenly, I heard people talking and walking in the walls. Don't you know what's going on inside the walls? Don't get into a scuffle with unrelated people before you see the person in charge. Besides, Liu Huzi, the head of Pegasus Village, has never met, but only heard Li Chengfeng say that he is a burly man with a beard and cheeks, so it is better to spy on it secretly before starting.
I made up my mind, looked up, and saw that outside the wall in front of me, there was a row of big cypresses that hugged each other against the wall, with thick branches and leaves, standing tall in the air, but it was a wonderful place for stealth and snooping. With a single lunge, she scurried over and picked a cypress tree with the most dense branches, seven or eight feet high. Looking at both sides, no one came, put the dragon sword in his hand into the sheath, touched the dart bag, and immediately got up. Perform the "tanuki on the tree" kung fu, swim up from the shade of the cypress tree, surpass the ape, and move the branches and cross the trunk. Staying more than three or four feet above the ground, his whole body is hidden in the branches and leaves, slightly brushing away a little leaves, and peeking into the wall below. This exploration gives an unobstructed view of the situation inside the wall, and it is not surprising.
But I saw that there was a candle burning everywhere inside the wall, and it was as bright as day. The first thing that catches the eye is that in the middle of the wall, a platform several feet high is stacked with mountain stones, about the size of four or five acres. Behind this platform is followed by several floors of houses, under the steps in front of the platform, a road is directly at the gate, and the soldiers holding shuttle darts are lined up on the left and right on the road, and they have been discharged out of the gate. There is about half an arrow road from the platform to the walled gate, and there are wooden poles with thick bowl mouths standing on both sides of the road every few steps, and the iron ring on the head of the pole is inserted with pine fire, and the flames are blazing, illuminating the whole field.
But it is good that Luo Youlan is where he is, and the platform in the wall is at an oblique angle, the terrain in the wall is narrow and long, and the platform is quite close to the wall, and the distance is only a few dozen steps. Therefore, the scene on the platform can be seen very clearly, and even the voice of the voice can be heard a little. If you look closely at the platform, there is a half-circle of people sitting outward, high and low, there are men and women, about a dozen people. In front of each person is a high table, on which are glasses and spoons of wine and food. There were a few soldiers holding wine jugs, waiting for everyone to eat and drink. It seems that most of the men and women present are wearing all kinds of human skin masks on their faces, some of whom roll up half of their masks so that they can gobble up, and some who eat through the opening of the masks.
