With Zhao Xiaozhu as a guide, Jingchen and the others avoided the traps set by many hunters along the road after entering the mountain range, and they didn't waste much time on the road.

I don't know if it's because Yu Shu's big bait didn't follow them together, or because of a group of dead soldiers hanging far behind their tails, there were no expected thieves along the way.

"Further ahead is the boundary of the princess's tomb, there are guards of the tomb guards at the mouth of the valley, we can't get through, Brother Jing, where are the bones buried in Lingtang, do you know the way?" Zhao Xiaozhu reined in at the intersection of the sandwich road.

Jing Chen looked up at the cliffs on both sides and replied, "Let's go forward." ”

Zhao Xiaozhu raised his eyebrows and looked at Xue Rui, who smiled at him and followed first

Half an hour later, Jing Chen held the imperial waist card, successfully passed through the two shifts of guards, left the horse outside, and walked from the humane to the princess's tomb.

After Zhao Xiaozhu was surprised at the beginning, he pestered Xue Rui and whispered: "Brother Xue, what are you all about?" ”

Xue Rui asked rhetorically, "What do you say?" ”

It's all here, what else to pretend.

Zhao Xiaozhu scratched his ears and cheeks and said: "I really don't know what to do, tell me, isn't Brother Jing going to worship his mother, but this is the princess's tomb - ah, could it be that the princess buried here is his mother?" ”

Xue Rui glanced at him and continued to walk forward.

Zhao Xiaozhu didn't know that his acting skills were still a little tender in Xue Rui's eyes.

The size of the princess's tomb is not large, it looks like a small garden tomb from the outside, the lower tomb is sealed, and the upper floor is covered with a roof. The tombstone stands on it.

They carried incense, candles, paper money, Jing Chen knelt under the stone tablet, burned incense and worshipped, this was the first time he returned to the princess's tomb after entering Beijing, and it was also the first time he had grown up to visit his deceased mother.

Investigate it, it is all because of that lie - those who have not found their lives must not love, hate, sorrow and joy, and if they do not calm down and endure, they will incur natural and man-made disasters.

He has known his background since childhood. Later, he practiced martial arts. Reading the books of sages, don't you know that filial piety comes first, but with a word from the master in charge, he doesn't even dare to secretly miss his father and mother who he has never met.

Jingchen faced the direction of the burial chamber. Knocked three heads upright. Silent voice: "Mother." The child is not filial, and he has only come to see you so far. ”

That's it, nothing else.

He got up. Xue Rui also stepped forward and bowed down to salute three sticks of incense, although he was an elder but had no relatives, he didn't have to bow.

It was Zhao Xiaozhu, seeing that they worshipped, rubbed over, and begged for incense and candles, Jingchen didn't ask what to give him, but saw Zhao Xiaozhu kneeling down seriously, muttering a few words to Princess Luyue's tombstone, and kowtowing three times.

When he turned around and saw Jing Chen and Xue Rui staring at him, he pretended to be confused and said, "It's rare to enter the princess's tomb, I can't kowtow and ask for peace." ”

“”

The three of them didn't stay in the princess's tomb for too long, Xue Rui and Jing Chen didn't worry about leaving Yu Shu in the return house, and after a short rest, they set off for the return trip.

On the way back, Xue Rui secretly reminded Jingchen to pay attention to Zhao Xiaozhu, and once he noticed any unusual movements, he would immediately arrest him.

This is also just in case, Mr. Yanye really has any ill intentions towards Yu Shu, they took Zhao Xiaozhu, they have a hostage in their hands, and they will not be too passive.

But he still misestimated Zhao Xiaozhu's cunning, or rather, misestimated his familiarity with the terrain of this generation.

Just when they crossed the mountain and walked to the foot of the mountain, Zhao Xiaozhu, who was walking in front, suddenly screamed and stepped on the trap.

But he was still a step late, and when Xue Rui also came up, there was no trace of Zhao Xiaozhu in the deep pit covered by fallen leaves and dead trees.

As soon as Xue Rui's eyes sank, Jingchen was about to jump down, when he suddenly heard Zhao Xiaozhu's laughter from the bottomless pit-

"Send you a ride, you must say goodbye in the end, I advise you not to chase me, or go back to your companions quickly!"

Hearing this, Jing Chen's face changed first, Xue Rui couldn't hold him, and he jumped down in a blink of an eye, but found that there was another world at the bottom of this cave, there were two tunnels, and things spread from east to west, and I don't know where it leads.

Jingchen listened to the direction of Zhao Xiaozhu's escape, but found that there was the sound of horses' hooves running on both roads, which made it difficult to decide.

Xue Rui called Jingchen from above, asked about the situation at the bottom of the cave, pulled a few rattans and put them down, and pulled him up with his strength.

At this moment, a group of dead soldiers who followed behind heard the movement and chased after them.

A group of gray-clothed and masked guys suddenly appeared in the mountains and forests, Xue Rui and Jing Chen were not surprised, and a leader led by the group stepped forward to show Jing Chen the seal letter, glanced at Xue Rui vigilantly, and said in a low voice:

"The villain Qingque, secretly escort the Daozi by the will of the Holy Lord, and obey the dispatch of the Daozi."

Jingchen took the token and looked at Xue Rui.

"Half of them will go down to chase them, and the rest will go back with us." Xue Rui made a quick decision.

This group of dead soldiers have undergone the most rigorous training, they are both obedient and not afraid of death, after Jing Chen ordered, the leader named Qingque quickly allocated manpower and jumped down the tunnel to chase Zhao Xiaozhu.

The others followed them and hurried back.

***

Before the sun set, they returned to the bank of the river outside the dense forest where they had returned, and were stranded.

The green sparrow called out to his companions who were hiding nearby, and seeing that they had suffered heavy casualties, he stopped Jingchen who was trying to cross the river, and explained the danger to him.

There are a large number of poisonous snakes living under the pumice rock on the surface of the river, even if they step on the ground, once they alarm these small things, they will immediately jump up from the bottom of the water, give you a bite, once bitten, you will definitely die within half an hour, like a top secret weapon that cannot be prevented.

Xue Rui and Jing Chen were shocked when they saw the corpses that had been bitten by poisonous snakes and were covered in green. recalled the reminder when Zhao Xiaozhu took them across the river yesterday, it was not a joke.

Seeing the corpse, they became more and more worried about Yu Shu's safety at this time.

The river is nearly three zhang wide, and even if you are an excellent master of light work, you don't dare to guarantee that you will cross the past without any effort, and if you make a detour. When they go into the woods, it will be dark.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Jing Chen found Xue Rui looking down along the river bank to find something, and after a while, he beckoned him over and pointed to a small lilac flower by the river:

"We went in from here yesterday."

Jing Chen's eyes lit up, "Do you remember the road?" ”

Xue Rui observed the pumice rocks on the river, and nodded at the same time: "I was following Zhao Xiaozhu at that time, and I remember very well that the pumice rocks in this water look about the same size." There are actually some differences. ”

Jingchen immediately said, "That's good." You show me the way. ”

Xue Rui looked back at him: "I'm not completely sure, are you sure you want to take the risk?" ”

Jingchen laughed at himself: "I brought her out, if I hurt her again, I won't regret her death." ”

Xue Rui did not persuade again. In fact, it's not that he thinks that his light work is not as good as Jingchen. I'm afraid it's been delayed. He will be the first to cross the river, and he will not make another move to provoke Jingchen.

"Daozi, why don't you give it a try first?" The blue finch heard it from the sidelines. did not agree with Jing Chen's danger, and stepped forward to stop in front of him, within the scope of their orders, Jing Chen's safety came first.

Jingchen didn't talk nonsense with him, Xue Rui pointed out the way, brushed away the dead man in front of him with one palm, and stepped on the first pumice rock, then the second and third.

Xue Rui walked behind him, and Qingque hesitated for a moment and followed with a few dead soldiers.

They were lucky enough to cross the river without danger, and Jingchen flew up to the opposite bank halfway through, burrowing into the forest without looking back, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"Jingchen!"

Xue Rui shouted, frowned and jumped over the last few pumice rocks to the shore, and the dead soldiers behind him crossed him one by one and chased after him.

He shook his head helplessly, ignoring his exhaustion, and ran into the woods

The sky gradually darkened, and when Jingchen arrived at the return residence, Mr. Yanye had long since disappeared, and he found Yu Shu lying motionless on the bed in his room, and broke out in a cold sweat.

When I sniffed her again, I realized that she was asleep.

Xue Rui didn't run as fast as Jing Chen, but he remembered the way, so he quickly rushed over, but the group of dead soldiers didn't follow Xue Rui because they were thrown away by Jing Chen, and none of them appeared so far, presumably they were still playing around the wall in the forest.

"It's okay, she just fainted."

Xue Rui breathed a sigh of relief, panting, and stepped forward to check uneasily.

Jingchen let go of the position next to the bed, got up and walked around the room, and found a handful of paper ashes in the brazier under the stone table.

The things in the house were half empty, there were a few winter and summer clothes left in the closet, the rest of the books and ink were not left, and besides, the old horse tied to the back of the fence was gone.

Obviously, Mr. Yanye walked very leisurely, and after putting down Yu Shu, he still had time to pack his luggage.

Jingchen looked around and returned to the stone house, Yu Shu was not yet awake, Xue Rui confirmed that she had no other injuries, so he calmed down, and after thinking about it carefully, he found that something was wrong.

For example, Yu Shu coincidentally sprained his foot before they set off and stayed.

"The man is gone." Jingchen didn't say to chase them, it was clear that they couldn't catch up.

Xue Rui said: "Wake up Ah Shu first, she must know what Lu said." ”

Jingchen nodded, stepped forward and poked a few acupuncture points on Yu Shu's shoulder, and after a while, she woke up with a hum. I opened my eyes and looked at the two sweaty men standing beside the bed in confusion.

"Big, big, Jingchen?"

Xue Rui smiled at her and asked her gently, "Ah Shu, do your feet still hurt?" ”

Yu Shu was choked by his piercing smile, and instantly came to her senses, she got up from the bed with a bone, turned her head and looked around, where was there any trace of Yunhua?

She was shocked and blurted out, "What about Yunhua and the others, did you run away?" ”

After saying that, Fang Jue was wrong, and then turned back to Xue Rui and Jing Chen's two black faces, his scalp was numb for a while, he opened the corners of his mouth and smiled at the two of them, shrank into the bed, and stammered:

"This and that, I can explain it, hahaha."

Xue Rui glanced at Jing Chen, who retreated to the door and stood in the doorway, in case those dead soldiers touched him and heard something that he shouldn't hear.

Xue Rui found the teapot in the house, poured a glass of water and stuffed it into Yu Shu's hand, and told her amiably:

"I'll ask you to answer, long story short, okay?"

Yu Shu nodded knowingly. (To be continued......)
