Chapter 227: Difficult Questions to Answer

They didn't know how long they had walked before they saw Xiong Li soaking in the pool. His eyes were tightly closed, and his forehead was half-soaked in sewage.

Wu Shandou looked at his expression like that, and his heart was terrified. "Brother Xiong Li, it can't be really dead, right? There are mechanisms on both sides. ”

It's just that now, they can't afford to take risks anymore, however, this place is so terrifying, they can't help but move forward. At this time, Xiong Li raised his head.

Seeing that in front of him, who was also his good brother when he practiced martial arts, he was very excited in his heart, "Are you the six secret guards of the martial arts, I am Xiong Li." ”

They worked hard to pull Xiong Li out of the pond with great difficulty. In the filthy water, those yellow eels stretched out their heads and bit at them.

Xiong Li looked at them stunned, and he didn't care about covering his wounds. "Aren't there six of you, why aren't you there?"

Wu Shandou looked at him like that, and he couldn't bear to tell the truth. "Don't worry about it, as long as we get out of this place, it's better than anything else."

They opened the door and headed outside. It's much cooler than before, and there's no of those nasty mechanisms.

"It's just that if you want to go out, it will definitely not be so simple, looking at the fire in front of you, I don't know if it's evil or lucky, but I can only try."

When they got there, they found that on that side, there was a towering wall, and at the bottom was the hole, as well as the previous mark.

"If you jump over the wall, they won't find it, it's just too high underneath." Just as a few of them hesitated, a hissing sound came from behind.

It turned out that in this water prison, a giant black python ran out, it kept shaking its body, spitting out letters, and the scales rattled.

"This snake must be killed, otherwise, this abominable thing, with a very sharp nose, will be eaten and caught even if we hide out."

Wu Shandou took out a dagger from his hand and stabbed it fiercely at the snake's seven inches. The snake flicked its tail and struck him backwards.

The strength of this serpent is so pliable and strong. Wu Shandou fell heavily to the ground, spat out a mouthful of blood, and retreated.

The remaining secret guards, holding their arms and holding cold blades in their palms, lined up. The python kept shaking its head, but there was nowhere to go.

Xiong Li was on that side, raised his hands, and threw out a stone violently. With a click, the stone hit the python's head directly.

The head of the python was smashed to pieces by the stone. Xiong Li looked at them in the distance, the darkness, and the squeak of rats running below.

"I have no choice but to jump down." Seeing a few patrolling guards over there, their figures dragged for a long time, and they were about to come down the wall.

Several of them moved downward, their bodies bent and soon disappeared into the night. "It's finally safe, hurry back to the major general."

Several secret guards, looking into the distance, shed tears of excitement. "I didn't expect our brother, I can't keep it, it's better to leave quickly!"

At the same time, King Ling drove the carriage back majestically. He lowered his head and found that there were several muddy footprints underneath.

"Where did it come from?" He wondered. "You guards, look at what can be transferred from here."

The guards, spears in hand, walked around for a while. "Lord Wang, over there, there are a few little beasts and corpses."

King Ling pushed aside the grass on one side, and looked inside, there were several deer, with long arrows pierced on their bodies, dripping with blood, and they didn't move.

"It's not an animal's footprint, it's necessarily a human being." The more King Ling thought about it, the more empty his heart became. "You guys, you're searching over there."

This time, he contacted the county commanders, and once he waited until winter and the river froze, he would train a strong cavalry and quickly enter the capital.

He was so happy that everything was left behind. "This king is really going to ascend to the dragon." He turned away and looked at Hou Rufeng with a smug expression.

Hou Rufeng opened his bright eyes and looked at him. "Lord Wang, the slave family also knows that this heavenly soldier and heavenly general have all descended to earth."

Listening to what she said, King Ling was even more happy, and the shoulders of the two of them hugged each other hard, made love to each other, and went to bed.

Hou Rufeng thought in his heart while dealing with King Ling. "It seems that there has already been action over there, and I will cover up this matter."

Thinking of this, she flattered in every possible way, and the two of them lived in the garden in the backyard of Shuitan Mansion for a few days, and no longer thought about anything else.

At the same time, Liu Yichen and them, also disguised as ordinary people, rode a donkey, carried a few burdens, and observed the city tower.

Song Zhiyao also dressed as a man and mixed in. The weather was so hot and dry that she couldn't stop sweating and wiping her forehead on her head.

Those people walked by bustlingly, and the towering Ling Wang's Mansion was set up with spears and thorns, and the howl of vicious dogs came from afar.

Song Zhiyao thought in her heart. "It seems that this time, they really made a bloody investment, and so many things have been built in this city."

Over there, a few soldiers, armed with sharp weapons, patrolled to the side. Several of them hurried past and hid in the shadows.

Liu Yichen grabbed her and whispered. "Be careful, these thieves are not vegetarians, go inside."

The soldiers walked by, swearing. Together, they drove away the crowd behind them, the crowd, in shabby clothes and rustic.

Liu Yichen's eyes widened, looking at them. "It seems that these people are just fleeing people who have been dragged in, and this chaos is very big."

Just as the two of them retreated towards the shadows, several soldiers moved the heavy iron gate, and with a bang, the gate was directly blocked on it.

They said as they lifted their hammers and stabbed nails hard into them. "I'm really tired, the prince is really boring."

Song Zhiyao looked at the heavy shadows, and she was so anxious that she couldn't do it. "What can I do? If so, wouldn't we be trapped here? ”

Helpless screams could be heard in the distance, whips snapping. Liu Yichen grabbed her body tightly, covered her mouth hard, and said vigilantly.

"Don't talk nonsense." It was a long time before the soldiers left. There was a whirring cold wind, and the blood-red sunset shone on them.

Song Zhiyao looked at Liu Yichen and whispered. "Xianggong, why is this so, I don't know where did they go to Hou Qu on the other side?"

At this time, there was a clanging sound in the distance, and the two were startled. Liu Yichen pulled her and slammed the heavy iron door with both hands.

The iron door was so rough that after a while, both of their hands were blistered with blood. At this moment, a stone rolled down from the top of the city gate tower.

Song Zhiyao was anxious and shouted loudly! "Xianggong, get out of the way!" In an instant, he pushed Liu Yichen away with all his strength, but the boulder was getting closer and closer.

She looked at the boulder in the air, couldn't react for a while, and stood there in a daze. "Click." The boulder was thrown down and smashed open the gate.

Song Zhiyao stayed for a while before she realized that the stone was clinging to her body. "I'm really scared to death this girl, Xianggong, let's go."

At this time, the soldiers patrolling the tower of the city gate were facing directly downward, struggling to release their crossbow arrows. Liu Yichen hugged Song Zhiyao.

A series of arrows from behind them shot directly through his clothes, and the sharp arrows rubbed against the flesh. "Run, don't worry about me anymore."

The two men tried their best to hide in a shadow below. The shadow of the water over there flowed loudly, and the city wall was in the distance.

"Let's go quickly." Liu Yichen pulled the arrow on his clothes and stroked the scars. "Yao'er, jump into the water and shake them off."

At this moment, a stout figure jumped down, and this person was Hou Qu. He threw a dart in his hand, brushed it twice, and several soldiers were stabbed.

"Grown, let's go." Liu Yichen followed him down, plopped, and jumped into the river. They rowed bamboo rafts and watched the water flow.

"My lord, I found an anti-army camp on the hill over there, and there is a tunnel underneath, which seems to lead to the side of Shuitan Mansion."

Several of them went down together. Over there, I saw a lump of wood with spikes on it, and the water washed over there with a rattling sound.

Hou Qu stretched out his fingers and went over there. "My lord, after passing this obstacle, I will directly turn out of the water, and there is no one in the tent now."

As soon as the words fell, their bamboo raft hit the wood hard. Song Zhiyao couldn't stand steadily, and her body almost slipped and fell into the water.

"Hurry up." Liu Yichen hugged her directly, crossed the obstacles, and climbed hard. After a while, there were several scars on his body.

They tossed around for a while, and then saw the tent over there. "There's a lock over there, and the little one has a key."

Song Zhiyao was wet all over, and her hair was very unkempt. Liu Yichen hugged her gently, gently and kindly rubbing her clothes.

Hou Qu took the key and clicked twice. The gate creaked, and the two of them rushed into the military village and walked down.

It was very muddy and very humid down there. There are many insects, rats crawling. Song Zhiyao pulled Liu Yichen and was very nervous.

The intricate roads around it, intersecting together. The slightest sound stirred up a gust of wind, causing a clear echo.

"Be careful, there's a trap ahead." Hou Qu held a flint and steel in his palm and pointed to the side, which was full of weeds and a few thorns.

Song Zhiyao and Liu Yichen cautiously bypassed. After the trap, in the distance, there was a steep rock wall full of water.

They looked up, and it seemed that a ray of sunlight was shining through. "Xianggong, have you seen it? It seems that there is a great city up there. ”

Liu Yichen raised his head slightly, looking at the mottled reflection. The curved eaves, the huge bluestones, and the towering beams are all reflected.

Hou Qu crossed his feet and stood nimbly on it. "Brother Huang, follow the little one, grab this rattan, and go up together."

The three of them, holding the rattan together, reached it after a long while. It turned out that there was a dense field of reeds on the other side, and a sandy beach on one side.

Hou Qu looked around and scratched his scalp. "It's strange, the villain remembers that he can go over the mountain directly from that side, but it's like this."

Liu Yichen looked at his expression and said without thinking. "Maybe it's an ecstasy over there, so let's go first."

They had no other way but to walk along the water's edge. Footsteps rattle. Suddenly, in the distance, I saw the light of a fire.

Song Zhiyao grabbed Liu Yichen and whispered. "Xianggong, look, there are still people in the village over there, let's go in and have a look."

Liu Yichen and Hou Qu also felt that something was wrong. "Could it be that they are lost, or are they a trap in disguise? It's a hard thing to do. ”

Just as a few people stayed there, footsteps were heard in the distance. When I looked closely, it turned out to be a haggard woman, wearing a white cloth skirt.

Her face was very beautiful, except for a scar on the bridge of her nose, which was brown, and her face was almost deformed.

Song Zhiyao was frightened in her heart. "What the hell!" The woman, however, came over and whispered. "Ladies and gentlemen, the slave family is really not a ghost."

Liu Yichen looked at them, and when they looked closely, the woman's skirt still had patches and blood stains on her body. But looking at her expression, there is no malice.

She spoke slowly. "King Ling recruited private soldiers, indulged them in plundering, destroyed our houses, and captured our families as slaves."
