Chapter 54: The Blood Lotus Blooms in the Mountains

The three horsemen rushed out of Haitao Town and headed towards Kuidou City, a city divided into the northern and central parts of the Great Zhu Dynasty, and immediately there were three people: Winter Pine, Frost Leaf, and Shen Bing.

As Han Yu said, Kuidou City is almost Zheng Shixian's territory, and Dong Song and the others are going to Kui Dou City to report the situation to Zheng Shixian's people.

In the past few days, Kuidou City has been heavily guarded, and people entering and leaving the city will be interrogated, the purpose is to catch Zheng Yuqing. The three of Dong Song hurried to Kuidou City, and a captain who led the investigation of the population in and out recognized the three of them, and asked the officers and soldiers of the inspection to give way, and the three of Dong Song rode into the city and went straight to the City Lord's Mansion.

Dong Song and the three of them are from Xifang, their identities are special, and they almost carry the emperor's will in every action, and they also have the identity card of Xifang, although they do not have the official power of the position, but it is enough to form a deterrent and let the local officials cooperate with them.

The three of them rode their horses to the City Lord's Mansion, only to see that today's City Lord's Mansion was guarded by many people, and it was extremely strict, Dong Song took the lead in driving the horse and stopped, and a guard chief immediately walked down the stone steps from the gate, came to Dong Song and said: "Lord Dong, enter the mansion quickly, Your Highness has been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Dong Song's heart froze, he didn't expect that the current Xian King would come to Kuidou City in person, Dong Song nodded, even if it was uncomfortable, he could only go in to see Zheng Shixian at this moment.

Winter Pine, Frost Leaf, and Shen Bing entered the City Lord's Mansion.

The three of them followed the captain of the guard in the city lord's mansion, and finally came to the garden of Fuzhong, the gate of the garden was also guarded by many soldiers, and after the captain of the guard brought the three of them here, he returned to his post, and then another soldier took the three of them into the garden.

In the garden of the City Lord's Mansion, behind a row of rockeries, in a pavilion by a small lake, Zheng Shixian, who was dressed in a python suit, was fishing by the small lake.

After thinking about Dong Song, the three of them came to see him with Zheng Yuqing's body or head, thought about raising troops to surround the imperial city and forced into the palace, his father and the civil and military officials had to recognize him as the new emperor, and thought about the unification of the court and the rivers and lakes, the Dazhu Dynasty was solid in his hands, and had unparalleled killing power, and then trained the army for several years, and used it for a while, the national war began, and the Dazhu Dynasty was about to annex the surrounding dynasties, and opened an immortal chapter of glory in his hands Zheng Shixian.

Zheng Shixian thought about it, and there were two people sitting on the stone chair behind him, one was the city lord of Kuidou City, an incumbent official of the Dazhu Dynasty, who managed Kui Dou City, and the other was wearing a red robe, his face was pale, but his expression was natural and spiritual, and he could be said to be above 10,000 people in the court, and he was Wei Xian, the owner of Xifang and the head of Da Nei.

After someone came in to inform the three of them that Dong Song had returned, the three people in the pavilion were all shocked, and they were quite looking forward to the appearance of the three Dong Song.

When Dong Song and the three of them came to the pavilion, their faces looked as calm as possible, but they stood there like three students who didn't finish the homework assigned by their master last night and had no homework to hand in today, they were uncomfortable, and they didn't know whether to look at Zheng Shixian or their direct boss Wei Xian.

Zheng Shixian doesn't need to ask, a person who dares to rebel will not be ignorant and ignorant and does not know how to observe words and feelings, Zheng Shixian smiled playfully, and the fishing rod in his hand was directly inserted into the soil at the edge of the pavilion, and then looked at Wei Xian.

Wei Xian, the biggest eunuch in the palace, had an ugly face, but he still asked, hoping for the answer he wanted, "What about people?"

Dong Song, as a senior brother, can only stand up and explain the ins and outs of the story now, such as Han Song's rebellion, Eryan's unhelpful being killed by a teenager, and another young woman who shot herself back and took Zheng Yuqing and them away.

"Alas. Zheng Shixian shook his head and sighed, got up from the fishing chair, walked to the stone table with tea and snacks, sat down, and said: "He can't enter Kuidou City, and he won't enter if he can get in, the city is now so strict, it is difficult to get out of the city if he enters the city, he wants to go back to the palace, he won't take this risk, the waterway is complicated, and the trouble is also risky, so Zheng Yuqing should take the mountain road, bypass Kuidou City, and pass through Guoxi Town, then I will lose."

Father-in-law Wei, it's time for you to get out. ”

Zheng Shixian looked at the three Dong Song who lowered their heads, and said: "No matter how many masters of the rivers and lakes there are around Zheng Yuqing now, if Gonggong Wei also fails, then Guoxi Town will still be the burial place of Zheng Yuqing, can't my five thousand iron horsemen kill a few mortals?"

Wei Xian was moved, it seems that Zheng Shixian is also in ruin, thousands of iron horses go north to no man's land, there is no reason, once it fails, there is no room for explanation.

Wei Xian got up, "I understand, I'll take my disciples into the mountains to chase and kill Zheng Yuqing now, we are now grasshoppers tied to the same rope, and we should go all out." ”

"Come with me!" Wei Xian didn't have time to reprimand Dong Song and the three of them, nor did he have time to delve into whether Yan Yan was alive or dead, and if so, how he died.

As soon as the three horsemen entered from the west gate of Kuidou City, four horsemen soon came out from the east gate of Kui Dou City, led by a red robe, and the three horsemen followed closely behind, and the horses under them galloped at full speed and went into the mountain.

————

Zheng Yuqing and his group did take the mountain road, the mountain road was tortuous and bumpy, but it was okay to walk on the sidewalk opened by hunters and woodcutters, and it was considered unimpeded, but once they went around Kuidou City and went deep into the mountains and forests, it was very difficult to walk, and it was almost difficult for people like Zheng Yuqing who were pampered and had low martial arts.

The tall grass that reaches the waist of adults, the rugged road where the mountains and rocks are remote, and even the uneven gaps between the big trees and overgrown trees are common, and Zheng Yuqing can only move forward under the escort of Gao Wei.

And Zheng Yuqing, including Su Qing's four people, didn't know that while they were walking through the depths of the mountains and forests, there was a figure following them behind them, that figure stood on the top of the big tree, and followed them far behind, every jump was from the top of one big tree to the top of another big tree, like an illusory and ethereal mountain spirit, and the long term of the jump was determined by the distance Zheng Yuqing traveled and they traveled.

After a long day of hard progress in the mountains, night finally fell, but the four horsemen led by a red robe, after coming out of the east gate, returned to Kuidou City, went out from the west gate, and entered the mountain at an intersection.

Wei Xian was also stunned and didn't expect that as long as he looked for the traces that suddenly appeared in the deserted places on the mountain road, then it would be easy to follow those traces and catch up with Zheng Yuqing and them.

Late at night.

Zheng Yuqing and the four of them slept under a big tree, it was early spring, and in the mountains and forests, the mountain wind was already cold when the sun set, but after nightfall at this moment, the yin qi in the mountains was pressing, Su Qing, Gao Wei and Han Yu did not react much, Su Qing needless to say, a pure qi practitioner, when the spiritual power flowed through the whole body, he could naturally isolate the cold in the mountains.

Han Wei was already practicing negative martial arts, so his ability to withstand cold was much better than Gao Wei, who would tremble on the side and could only rely on the consumption of true qi in his body to keep warm.

The true qi in the body can be said to be negligible, Zheng Yuqing suffers the most, and Han Yuqing's true qi is yin, so if Han Yu overfeeds his true qi into Zheng Yuqing's body, not only can it not keep warm, but it will make Zheng Yuqing feel even colder.

Su Qing had no choice but to activate the aura in his body, put his hand on Zheng Yuqing's shoulder, and the aura submerged into Zheng Yuqing's body from the palm to help him keep warm. Su Qing also thought about putting his hand on Zheng Yuqing's head or hand, but then he thought about it and it was not appropriate, after all, men and men could not kiss them.

It was a difficult night, when the morning sun shone on the mountains, the cold air was dissipated, the mountains were filled with fog, the air was filled with a fresh smell, and the scenery in front of me was like a dream under the morning light.

The chirping of birds echoed above.

Zheng Yuqing and the four of them were greedy to set off early, fortunately Zheng Yuqing did not suffer from the wind and cold, otherwise it would be very troublesome, but after coming out of the peach building, they have never eaten, and there is no food on their bodies, it is not too much of a problem for Su Qing, Gao Wei and Han Yu, Su Qing is actually hungry, and the sublimation qi produced by the broken red dust chain in his body absorbs and strengthens his body at the same time, but it is necessary to replenish those places that form emptiness after growth.

The five grains are the lowest supplement, then the flesh and blood of livestock, and then the elixir elixir, which contains a large amount of spiritual energy essence and supplementation and special substances that strengthen one's body, and the flesh and blood of the demon beast is naturally a great supplement, the higher the realm, the more supplemental, on the contrary, the monster kills people and eats people, which is also the meaning and reason, the big demon eats for those qi practitioners, in fact, it is the same as the human monk preys on the monster and eats the monster's meat.

Su Qing felt hungry because the red dust chain strengthened his body, so only the feeling of hunger would not cause harm to the body, and it would not cause weakness in his limbs and form a negative state.

In short, Zheng Yuqing is going to starve to death.

But the four of them knew it, and after waking up, they moved their bodies and began to hurry.

This journey to the mountains, Zheng Yuqing, who is the current prince of the Dazhu Dynasty, did not shout tired, silent all the way, there was something uncomfortable and gritted his teeth and passed, he must be uncomfortable in his heart, and he must not be used to it, but he endured it, and it was already very good.

Even if Su Qing and the others tried not to delay time, there was a red robe in the rear that had already caught up.

Su Qing woke up at the first bird call in the morning, but although Wei Xian and the others also rested, the four of them slept later than the dogs and got up earlier than the chickens, chasing the traces along the way, and came.

Su Qing and the other four walked through the fog in the mountains in the early morning, Gao Wei took Zheng Yuqing with him yesterday, and Zheng Yuqing, who slept today, saw that the road section was lined with trees, but there were enough people to run between them, so he had to move forward by himself.

And just when they saw signs of man-made in the forest, the four of them all showed joy, and it seemed that they had walked out of the deep mountains and old forests and came to the place where the people had reached, so that as long as they looked for the traces left by those hunters and woodcutters, they could walk out of the mountains.

In other words, bypassing Kuidou City.

However, a spiritual power fluctuation in the rear was slowly growing larger, and it was rapidly approaching Su Qing.

Su Qing felt it for the first time, stopped and turned back suddenly, and then Gao Wei, Han Yu and Zheng Yuqing all stopped.

Gao Wei and Han Wei also turned their heads to look at Su Qing like this, and as the spiritual power fluctuations that were true qi in their feelings and different became stronger and stronger, they knew that there were chasing soldiers after them.

Han Hao felt the familiar and powerful aura, and his body couldn't help but tremble, thinking of the dark years in Xifang, and thinking of Wei Xian, who was like a demon.

"It's Master, Master, he'...... He's here himself!" Han said scaredly.

Soon, a figure appeared in the fog, and a red in the fog could be faintly seen, and after approaching, the spiritual power in Wei Xian's body in a red robe was stirring, which could obviously be called a small cultivation of merit, and it could be regarded as a success in practicing qi, even if it was because of talent, or because of being a eunuch and losing yang qi, it was not yet at the peak of the spiritual realm, but the spiritual power of the fifty years of cultivation can be called pure, at least much better than that of Su Qing.

Dong Song followed Wei Xian.

Needless to say, a big war is on the verge of breaking out.

The spiritual power in Wei Xian's body surged, and wisps of red qi emanated from all over his body, as if a blood-colored lotus flower had bloomed in this deep mountain and old forest.
