Chapter 16 On the Peak of the Incense Burner
"Who are you?"
Shih Tzu looked up and asked the man in the tree.
The man in the tree lowered his eyebrows and laughed, his laughter hoarse and charming.
"And who are you?" The man asked.
Xi Shi glanced at Yin Shisan, who was not far away, and said to him: "My guard is there, he is a martial arts master!" Thou hast seen my feet, and thou hast not feared that I will ask thee to blame? ”
The man on the tree laughed heartily and said, "I have been lying on this tree for so long and he hasn't found it, is he also called a martial arts master?" ”
The man was dressed in dark green robes, and it was not easy to be found hidden among the trees.
After speaking, the man jumped and jumped down, so frightened that Xi Shi quickly stood up and stood in the water, Yin 13 heard the movement and immediately rushed over.
As soon as Yin 13 arrived under the tree, before he could speak, the man quickly stretched out his hand and tapped Yin 13's chest twice, and Yin 13 froze.
"You, what did you do to Brother Yin?!" Xi Shi's eyes widened, staring at him defensively.
The man smiled and bent down to pick up the shoe that Shih Tzu had placed on the shore and played with it in his hand.
Xi Shi was already very sensitive to her feet, and now she was held by a strange man, who was still playing with her and looking at her with a smile, which really made her extremely ashamed.
Shi Shi was angry and quiet, trying to calm himself down.
She stood in the water and looked at the man quietly and asked, "What do you want?" ”
The man raised his eyebrows and playfully said, "Your shoes are good." ”
Xi Shi raised his head with anger, and said proudly, "I sent you." You unravel Brother Yin's acupoint. ”
The man asked again, "Don't ask me who I am?" ”
Xi Shi raised his feet and went ashore, without looking at him, and walked straight to Yin Thirteen. As he walked, he said, "I'm not interested." ”
The man smiled and turned and grabbed her arm, and Shih Tzu looked back at him in astonishment.
The man said, "I'm interested in you." I saw four beauties passing by, none of them stopped, only you stopped. ”
Xi Shi frowned and looked at him: "That's why I have a chance to be stopped by you." ”
The man laughed out loud again, and replied to her: "I think that the scenery here is so good, that you are the only one who is willing to stop and watch." ”
Xi Shi's gaze softened a little, and said, "Since you are like-minded, why do you act like this?" ”
The man said, "I just want to invite a beautiful woman as a companion, if you are willing to accompany me to enjoy the scenery for a while, I will let you go." ”
Xi Shi thought about it, and as soon as he nodded in agreement, the man stepped forward and put his arm around her waist, jumped lightly, and led her to sit on the tree.
The branches trembled slightly, and Xi Shi looked at the distance of about three zhang from the ground, and his palms couldn't help but sweat lightly, and he hurriedly looked into the distance and pretended to be calm.
And the man chuckled again, and Shih Tzu saw that he was staring at his bare feet.
Shih Tzu looked down at his feet, his toes curling up in fear. Fang Cai only pretended to be calm, but he didn't expect that his toes betrayed him.
"Don't be so nervous, I'm here, you can't fall yet." The man shifted and leaned against the tree.
Xi Shi coughed lightly, his eyes wandered, and asked him, "Who are you?" ”
The man replied, "Aren't you not interested?" ”
When Xi Shi didn't know what to say, the man spoke: "I am a Confucian merchant who travels around the world, surnamed Ji, what about you?" ”
Xi Shi replied: "I am the dancing girl of the Yue Palace, surnamed Shi." ”
Ji Gongzi asked again: "Do the dancing girls in the Yue Palace have guards now?" ”
Xi Shi said: "We are different. It was to be sent to the state of Wu. ”
"Oh...... You are the beauties that King Yue wants to give to King Wu first? Ji Gongzi asked thoughtfully.
Shih Tzu nodded.
Ji Gongzi also nodded and said, "That King Yue is quite sincere, just now I saw that you are all top beauties." ”
Xi Shi was speechless for a long time, Ji Gongzi looked at her reaction, and asked, "You don't want to go?" ”
Xi Shi shook his head, looked at the endless river, touched the mottled branches, and said, "I just hope that Wu Palace also has such good mountains and rivers to see." ”
Ji Gongzi understood what Xi Shi meant, and said with relief: "I heard that King Wu is benevolent, and he will definitely be very good to you." ”
Xi Shi turned his head to him and smiled slightly, "Thank you." ”
Ji Gongzi was about to answer, but he saw Xi Shi staring at his sideburns, and secretly said that it was not good.
Xi Shi saw that Ji Gongzi's sideburns seemed to be sticking to something. I once heard Zheng Dan say that many people in the martial arts will use special secret techniques to make a human face mask, and the mask fits almost tightly on the face, and there is no abnormality. And the strangeness of Ji Gongzi's sideburns made Xi Shi even more suspicious.
Who is he? Why is he wearing a mask?
Ji Gongzi saw Xi Shi's suspicion, smoothed the corner of his sideburns, and explained: "I was born ugly, so I made a mask to cover up. ”
Xi Shi sighed, thinking that more things are better than less, and he didn't ask more.
The man seemed to have had enough, so he put his arm around Shih Tzu's waist and sent her back to the ground and helped her put on her shoes. After solving Yin Thirteen's acupoint, he let them leave.
Yin Shisan hurriedly took Xi Shi away, and said as he walked: "This person is very good, fortunately there is no malice, let's go quickly." ”
Xi Shi obediently followed Yin Shisan and left quickly, but Ji Gongzi's voice sounded behind him.
"Miss Shi, don't lose your shoes in the future. We've come a long way! ”
Xi Shi turned his head to look, where was there any Ji Gongzi behind him, and the tree was empty, and he couldn't see that green figure anymore.
Yin Shisan urged Xi Shi not to look at it anymore, Zheng Dan was still waiting for her at the top of the peak, and Xi Shi came back to his senses and accelerated his speed to climb the mountain.
Xi Shi, who had collected his heart, decided not to see the color of the forest in his eyes, and only rushed to the peak. But after a while, Xi Shi and Yin 13 rushed to the peak.
The strange thing is that Zheng Dan and the others were not seen on the peak. When the two of them were wondering, dozens of black-clothed people suddenly burst out from around the peak temple, each holding a bright sword, and rushed over without saying a word.
Yin 13 quickly entered the battle state, fighting while protecting Xi Shi, and he was also able to fight with ease; It's just that the other party has a large number of people, and he has to protect Xi Shi, Yin Shisan, who is tied up, gradually has the upper hand, and his left arm is also cut by a sharp sword.
Xi Shi saved time and guessed that the other sisters must have been captured by these people, and although their attacks were fierce, they had no motive to kill themselves and Yin Shisan. Therefore, Xi Shi guessed that the other sisters and guards should have been abducted together.
Seeing that Yin Shisan gradually couldn't hold it anymore, Xi Shi hurriedly said: "Brother Yin, Sister Zheng Dan should have been kidnapped by them, it is better to plan the plan, retain your strength, rescue the others and leave together!" ”
Yin 13 let out a deep "um", and after a few more tricks with them, he pretended to be captured.
Sure enough, after Xi Shi and Yin Shisan were "captured", they were fed the forbidden martial arts pill, and then escorted into the temple. There was a secret door behind the Buddha statue in the temple that led to the ground, and they descended two steep stone steps, turned left and right, and went around several stone walls, and finally came to an empty stone room.
The stone room was dark and cold, and Zheng Dan and the others were lying on the ground and falling asleep.
Xi Shi was startled, and hurriedly struggled to break the shackles and ran to Zheng Dan to hug her, anxiously calling "Sister Zheng Dan", and then looked at Yin Shisan for help.
Zheng Dan woke up slowly, saw Xi Shi hugging himself and shouting, and hurriedly reached out to hook Xi Shi's neck, and Xi Shi saw that Zheng Dan had woken up.
Before they could speak, a man came out of the assassins with a basin of water and splashed it on the faces of the people lying on the ground, and when he saw that they were all awake, he said to them: "Now that the family and country are in danger, the king of Yue still has the leisure to choose a beautiful woman to give to Wu as a gift, which is really ridiculous." Now I will torture you to death, and see what else King Yue can use to flatter King Wu!" ”
After that, the man ordered his men to separate Xi Shi and her guards in pairs and pull them into five secret rooms.
The assassins quickly came up to pull them away, Su Yi hugged Mu Li tightly and refused to let go, Meng Zhiyu pulled the corner of Su Yi's skirt and cried, and Zheng Dan dragged Xi Shi's hand and did not let go, Xi Shi's hand was painful, but looking at the scene in front of him, he felt extremely absurd and funny. What's the problem?
Without waiting for Sih Tzu to think about it, the Assassins used brute force to separate them one by one and throw them into the airtight chamber with their respective guards.
As soon as the door of the secret room closed, it was instantly cut off from the outside world.
The effect of Shih Tzu attacked, and he collapsed on the ground. Yin Shisan, on the other hand, meditated on the spot, reconciling his physical discomfort.
However, a few assassins in the secret room obviously didn't want to delay with them, so they came up and said directly: "Hehe, Brother Wang, the boss asked us to torture and execute this beauty, so what kind of 'torture' method is it, which means that we have the final say!" ”
The assassin named "Brother Wang" smiled evilly and said, "Brother Xian is reasonable, I think it's a pity that this beauty killed the monster directly, why don't we ...... it first."
Halfway through speaking, the two assassins laughed with a self-evident "hey, hey, hey", and rubbed their hands together like two big flies as they approached Xi Shi excitedly. Xi Shi felt a chill, stepped back, and rubbed against Yin Shisan's thigh.
Yin Thirteen opened his eyes in an instant, and a murderous aura burst out of his eyes.
I only heard him say in a cool and angry tone: "If you dare to get close to her for half a step, I will make you regret it forever." ”
The two assassins laughed when they heard this, and said to Yin Shisan, "Heh." A waste dares to speak wildly in front of grandpa, I'm afraid you don't even have the strength to take off your pants now! Hahahahaha! ”
Yin 13 said: "You can try." ”
The assassin pouted and said, "Okay, then I'll come and see if your pants are tight." ”
As he spoke, an assassin came up and was about to drag Yin Thirteen, and although Yin Thirteen couldn't use martial arts, he still had brute strength, and he took a sharp breath and kicked the assassin against the wall.
Xi Shi couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Yin is amazing!" ”
The two Assassins were cautious when they saw that he was still strong despite his lack of martial arts.
The assassin called "Brother Wang" helped up the assassin in the corner, and after the two whispered a few words, they said to Yin Thirteen with a smile: "This big brother, we are also acting on orders. The boss told us to put her to death, or else he would put us to death, and he didn't say what she would do to you. Well, we'll send you out, and you'll act as if you don't know anything. What do you think? ”
