Chapter 228: Hurry up and go to the royal city
Song Zhiyao saw her appearance clearly by the moonlight, and felt that she was very pitiful. "So, why don't you leave here?"
The woman sighed helplessly. "My family is dead, I'm alone, where can I go in this troubled world? It's all his soldiers over there. ”
Liu Yichen looked into the distance, on the hills over there, with a puff of white smoke. It seems that this is the fire that those soldiers are cooking and making.
Hou Qu looked at the woman at this time and smiled awkwardly. "This girl, don't be afraid, we are here to punish King Ling and do the right thing for heaven."
The woman stared at them and let out a long sigh. "If that's the case, but if you have passed the kindness of the Arhats, let's go first."
They hesitated for a moment, and then followed the woman. Rounded the corner of a river, beside a huge reef, against a straw hut.
The woman stretched out her rough hand and pointed there. "There's nothing to eat here, just a few hares, and the straw over there can be a night."
Song Zhiyao was so hungry that she was growling, and she followed her, her face was very embarrassed. Eating the hare in a big gulp, a burst of oiliness flowed from the corners of his mouth.
Liu Yichen and Hou Qu also didn't have the heart to eat. "This girl, I'm really bothering you, I have scattered silver on hand, use it!"
The woman refused with a smile. "Everyone meets in the water, all of this is fate, and besides, the slave family is hiding here, and there is no place to spend it."
As they spoke, several figures came over there. "So there's still people here!" Liu Yichen raised his head, it turned out to be a few enemy soldiers.
As soon as the woman raised her body, an enemy soldier rushed forward with a spear. Liu Yichen moved in his hand, grabbed the spearhead violently, and stabbed back.
The remaining few enemy soldiers, seeing this situation, quickly ran to the back. Hou Qu jumped out, flung the dart, and stabbed it that way.
They fell to the ground at the sound of darts. Liu Yichen pulled the enemy soldier and asked sternly. "What are you doing here?"
The enemy soldier snorted. "Uncle, the water prison in the house is broken, the prince ordered someone to repair it, we moved the corpses out, and we haven't done anything bad."
Following his guidance, Liu Yichen and the others walked to an eerie waterhole. There were a few corpses floating there, so rotten that they couldn't be seen clearly.
Hou Qu's eyes widened, and he punched the enemy soldier again. "Dog, don't see my brother, his name is Xiong Li."
The enemy soldier was hit by this, vomited blood from the corner of his mouth, fell to the ground, struggled for a while, and then did not move. Hou Qu looked over there, feeling very nervous.
"Buddha bless, my brother is still alive." He took out a piece of wood and pulled the corpse over there, and it took a long time to pull it up.
Liu Yichen and Song Zhiyao walked cautiously aside. "It seems that it is really a waterhole over there, and it will be very dangerous for us to go in again."
In the hearts of the two, they also prayed that Xiong Li was still alive. After a long time, Hou Qu turned over all the corpses, and he didn't recognize his brother.
"Only this corpse, sort of." He turned the corpse over, and the head of the corpse had been smashed and could not be seen.
Hou Qu subconsciously flipped it several times, tears streaming into his eyes. "How can this be, my dear brother?" He fell to his knees and cried loudly.
At this time, the woman stepped forward and pulled him by the body. "Don't worry, when I was caught on an errand, I knew a secret passage."
Hou Qu's eyes widened instantly, and he looked at the woman hopefully. "Is it true? Good girl, that's great. ”
Liu Yichen looked over there and felt very worried in his heart. "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger, and besides, you have reached this point, so you can only continue to walk."
They followed the woman's direction and walked into the weeds one man high. There were a lot of insects flying inside, and they were also very painful.
A gust of wind, whirring and thunderclapping. The rain and hail came down suddenly.
Liu Yichen leaned sideways, stretched out his arms, and wrapped his arms around her neck. "Okay Yao'er, if you endure for a while, you will be able to get out of here."
Although Song Zhiyao felt a lot of pain in her body, she also clenched her teeth and struggled to persevere. "Xianggong, that is, go up to the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, and the slave family will follow."
After a pillar of incense, they went into the hole in the wall and came out. The lights on one side had been extinguished, and the soldiers were hiding in the house.
The woman said with a smile. "I'm sacrificing my life to accompany the gentleman, but the providence is like this, such a heavy rain, they won't appear, hurry up."
A flash of lightning flashed, and the bright light reflected the woman's scar. Song Zhiyao thought a lot in her heart, and followed closely.
Hou Qu's heart is particularly excited. "Good brother, I'll see you." They walked to the edge of the water dungeon and found that there were only floating skeletons inside.
The woman pointed down the aisle and whispered. "Don't alarm the people above, this place is very well set up, and you can't get out if you are discovered."
Hou Qu's eyes widened, he took off his shirt and jumped directly into the water. "Good brother, it's the eldest brother who is here, the eldest brother, it's late, woo woo ......"
His emotions are almost out of control. I turned over and over again in the water, but the bones were very small, and they didn't look like Xiongli's.
Liu Yichen looked at him like that and grabbed him. "Brother, it's come to this, what's the use of crying again? Why don't we get out of here? ”
At this time, there was a sound of clattering footsteps on the top. "Let's go down quickly." The woman frowned, her face full of anxiety. "It's in danger."
Hou Qu pressed his emotions and followed the woman carefully, walking carefully into the shadows below. On the walls on both sides, there are bloody human skins.
The person at the head was none other than King Ling. He was covered with bright armor. With a sharp sword in his hand. A few guards followed respectfully.
He shouted angrily. "You ridiculous things, what's going on? Isn't there another thief here? Search for this king! ”
The guards, with their sharp spears, stabbed to the side. From time to time, he was still scolding, and after a while, there was a flutter in the distance.
"What is it?" Those guards, staring at Song Zhiyao, who was hiding in the dark, also looked at the dark side with vigilant eyes.
It turned out that over there, there were several huge bats, rushing towards King Ling. "It's actually this bad thing, kill them for this king."
While King Ling was avoiding the bloodsucking of the bats, the guards hurriedly shot arrows to the side, and it took a long time to kill those bats.
King Ling stepped forward and kicked the dead bat's corpse fiercely. "It's really in the way of this king's dream, hurry up and clean up this place."
Song Zhiyao and them, taking advantage of the chaos at this time, went down together. "This is the biggest water prison, and down there, there really isn't any."
Hou Qu listened to the woman's words and comforted herself. "Good brother, it must be here, then King Ling will definitely do this."
Slowly, they walked around there, and then there was a rumbling behind them. The stone door was slammed shut, and a terrifying aura permeated the surroundings.
Song Zhiyao hugged Liu Yichen tightly, trembling with fright. "Oh no, Xianggong, we're locked up here, how can we get out now?"
The woman was also stunned, standing there helplessly. "I really didn't expect that there are still mechanisms left here, I'm really sorry, I can't help it."
Liu Yichen raised his head and looked at it, it turned out that over there, there were countless iron cables, about ten zhang high. Bright moonlight appeared on the top.
Hou Qu flipped through it for a long time, but he didn't find anything. "Brother, don't be naughty, hide and seek, big brother, here you are now!"
He didn't care about a lot, and his voice became more poignant than the other. Suddenly, a faint moan came from the rubble on the side. Hou Qu hurriedly ran away.
It turned out that inside, there was a person hidden, who had a beautiful face and was covered with scars. After a long time, he muttered. "Take me away!"
Hou Qu looked at him, it was not his brother, and he was completely desperate. "Dude, are there still people locked up here, do you see?"
There was another fluttering sound in the distance, and Liu Yichen felt that something was wrong, so he pulled Song Zhiyao and walked together. "Who the hell are you?"
The man looked at Liu Yichen and said in fear. "Brother, I am the chief bookkeeper of the county, I don't know where you came from, that King Ling, has been keeping me here and not letting me out."
Song Zhiyao looked at it, and it was a huge bat again, flapping its wings, and coming towards them. "Oh no, be careful!"
The bat, heading towards Houqu. Just as the furry and sharp blood-sucking mouth was pressed against his muscles, Hou Qu fought back.
"Kill you beast!" His hand grabbed the bat's ear and twisted it hard. The bat bared its fangs and squirted blood at him.
Hou Qu's body is very agile, and he hits several times quickly, and the strength of his attack is very powerful. The bat, he grabbed its wings and tore it apart with all his might.
"What about my brother?" Hou Qu was full of remorse, and his voice was hoarse. Liu Yichen looked around, there was nothing else in this pool except for the precipitated white bones.
There was a burst of thunder and lightning, and the chains shook with it. Liu Yichen stepped forward and comforted Hou Qu. "Don't think about it so much, get out of here."
Hou Qu was completely insane, and his head slammed into the rock, and after a while, his bag bulged up, and bright red blood flowed out.
"What does it mean for me to live alone in this world? Without my brother, in this life, I can't be a ghost! ”
Song Zhiyao saw that this was not going to work, pulled his body and persuaded. "Brother, not to repay the favor or to take revenge, who killed your brother?"
Hou Qu suddenly understood, gritted his teeth, and his eyes were on fire. "It is the king of Ling who killed with a thousand knives, I will eat the flesh of that animal and skin it."
They tried their best to follow the iron rope and go up with all their might. The storm was raging, dodging the hail, and the thunder and lightning slashed down again.
The violent electric sparks made their bodies tremble. Liu Yichen carried the main book, and Song Zhiyao and the woman followed together.
"Gotta hold on." They didn't know how long they tossed, and a few times they almost fell before they finally crawled out of the hole.
At this time, the rain was lighter than before, and the sky began to lighten. The master book, looking at the woodland under the mountain in the distance, let out a long sigh.
"I didn't expect that I would still have a life, if you are a person sent by the imperial court, the villain has nothing else but to help find the account book."
Hearing this, Liu Yichen's heart was excited. "Go back and talk slowly, escape from this forest first, and everything will naturally not be in a hurry."
Song Zhiyao took a long breath of the fresh air after the rain, and her heart was also relaxed. "My lord, I don't know where this is, get out of here quickly."
The song is on the side, spinning endlessly. The eyes were stunned, in a daze. A tear flowed from the corner of his eye, and he stopped again, twitching his nose.
Liu Yichen looked at his expression like that, and he also sighed in his heart. "As the old saying goes, men don't flick if they have tears, let's follow first!"
The clouds in the sky were very bright, and several people walked together. They walked for an unknown amount of time, only to find that they seemed to have lost their way.
Song Zhiyao was shocked. "It doesn't look like there's anyone coming, it's just going deeper and deeper." Looking at the trees in front of you, followed by a long cobweb, the road is very gloomy.
The woman said to the master bookkeeper. "Go back early and take out the account book, you and I can stay away from this place of right and wrong, and we won't have to worry anymore."
