Chapter Seventy-Eight: Ice Phoenix Tribulation (Hope)

It is said that after the battle of Ning Cuiping, Wang Xiao was not lightly injured, which temporarily delayed the pace of the beggar army troops to continue to go deep into the back mountain of the Ice Phoenix Valley, and they could only wait for the Xun Xi who had mixed into the retreating team of the Ice Phoenix Valley to pass on the exact information about Xi Yuanzhu.

At the same time, the remaining disciples of the Ice Phoenix Valley, Ouyang He and the others followed the secret passage in the Shenshuang Cave and came to a dense bamboo forest in a trance. In a pavilion on the side of the hill where they were, two disciples were waiting for them while taking care of Yu Zhongrui, who was also seriously injured.

"Are you all okay?" Yu Zhongrui anxiously asked Chen Yuxia, who was walking at the front of the team.

Chen Yuxia lowered her head and looked at Chen Fangning who was unconscious on the stretcher, and did not answer Yu Zhongrui for a long time.

Yu Zhongrui staggered along the team and looked around, feeling mixed feelings in his heart.

Ouyang He stepped forward to introduce himself to Yu Zhongrui, and at the same time asked Yu Zhongrui about the current predicament that Ice Phoenix Valley was facing.

"In this way, the arrest of Sister Chu is just a high-sounding pretense, but in fact, these people are all here to wash Yuanzhu." Ouyang He seemed to understand their current situation somewhat.

Since many of them were seriously injured at present, and Wang Xiao's side would definitely not give them too much respite, after discussion, everyone decided to go down the mountain to the villages and towns below the mountain as soon as possible to ask for help. At this time, the closest to here is Changxi Village, where the village chief is also an old acquaintance of Binghuang Valley, so he should not sit idly by and ignore their situation.

In addition, Chen Yuxia did not find Zhang Xin's figure among them, and Yu Zhongrui said with some sighs after knowing it: "Let him go." ”

The group walked for about a pillar of incense in the bamboo forest, and then helped each other walk for about an hour on the way down the mountain, and finally arrived at Changxi Village at sunset.

With the help of the head of Changxi Village and the villagers, the Binghuang Valley group successfully moved into the residence.

"Who?" After nightfall, when everyone was resting, someone knocked on the door of Ouyang He, who was taking care of Ling Rui.

"Xiaohe, it's me, Chu Birou!" Ouyang He opened the door and was about to welcome Chu Birou into the room, but Chu Birou politely refused.

Chu Birou said to Ouyang He that she was just here to take her to the room where Liu Bing's tears were. Chu Birou explained that because she had met Yu Zhongrui by chance before, Yu Zhongrui told her at the time that Liu Bing had been hoping to talk to Ouyang He alone after waking up from tears, and Yu Zhongrui herself had no time to take care of this matter for the time being because she also had to check on the situation of other injured Ice Phoenix Valley disciples.

"I understand, then Sister Chu will come with me?" Ouyang He tried to ask Chu Birou if she would accompany her.

"No, there are still a lot of patients here, and besides, people are looking for you and not me, hehe, go quickly!" After Chu Birou finished speaking, she left, and Ouyang He also came to Liu Bing's room under the guidance of the disciples of Ice Phoenix Valley.

After knocking on the door and entering, Liu Bing sat up and took care of Ouyang He to himself.

"I wonder what my predecessor ordered me to come here late at night?" Ouyang He asked Liu Bingxian respectfully, but Liu Bingxian just beckoned her to be closer to him.

"Son, your father...... How are you doing? Liu Bing caressed Ouyang He's cheek with tears and asked softly.

"I ...... For as long as I can remember, I haven't seen my biological parents, and it was my stepfather who brought me up. It's just that I had heard something about my father and mother from an old man before. Ouyang He then briefly told Liu Bing what he knew from the old man in Mu Xuefeng's stone house.

"Child, I've worked hard for you all these years, I should have gone to Jinyun Mountain to pick you up earlier, but ...... Alas! ”

Liu Bing tearfully mentioned to Ouyang He that she had received a message ten years ago that the children of Xuanyuan Ji and Su Han had been brought into the Yufeng Villa of Jinyun Mountain on the outskirts of Yuzhou to be raised. Just when she wanted to leave for Yufeng Mountain Villa to keep Ouyang He by her side for protection, Shu suddenly went to war with Chu, and the border between the two countries was completely closed. In addition, the outbreak of the cult rebellion in the rivers and lakes, she really had no time to rush to Yufeng Villa, which also became a heart disease in her heart from time to time in the future, until she finally fell into a deep sleep.

Ouyang He heard that Liu Bingtear seemed to know a little about his parents' situation, so he tried to ask Liu Bingtear more about his life experience.

"Silence, there's someone on the roof!" Liu Bing was about to continue speaking, but her keen hearing made her notice that there were scattered footsteps coming from the roof.

"There's a sneak attack!" At this moment, there was a sudden shout of killing outside the house, and it seemed that someone had suddenly attacked them.

I saw a group of black-clothed people in night clothes suddenly jumping off the roof one after another, and everyone in the Ice Phoenix Valley, who was in a state of rest, hurriedly went out to meet the battle, and the entire village and town suddenly became noisy.

"Hehe, they are turning the tiger away from the mountain, and the aura of those people on the roof is obviously stronger than the others, their goal is here!" After perceiving the flow of true qi around her, Liu Bing stroked Ouyang He's hand to ease her nervous mood at the moment.

After a while, when Ouyang He clenched the sword in his hand and was about to face several masters on the roof, a familiar figure jumped onto the roof from the door, and it could be heard from the subsequent wheezing sound from the roof, that the vigorous figure should be Chen Yuxia.

After about half a pillar of incense, the shouts of killing on the roof and outside the house gradually weakened, and Ouyang He remained vigilant and prepared to open the door to check the situation outside.

At this time, it seemed that Yu Zhongrui was anxiously banging on the door outside.

"Miss Ouyang, I saw a man in black walking towards the courtyard where you live, I'm afraid they will be unfavorable to Ling Gongzi or Gao Gongzi, you go and take a look, Bing Tears She has me watching, there will be no danger here for the time being." Yu Zhongrui said eagerly to Ouyang He after opening the door.

Originally, Ouyang He was ready to rush over immediately when she heard that Ling Rui and Gao Che might be in danger, but she seemed to realize something the moment she stepped out of the room.

"Where did the Lord of Yu Gu come from?" Ouyang He asked Yu Zhongrui.

"I was treating the disciple who lived in Li Sheng's house just now, and after hearing the shouts outside, I hurried to this side, afraid that something would happen to her with Bing Tears." Yu Zhongrui replied as he prepared to walk into the house.

"Oh, by the way, Lord Yugu, the brother who lives in Li Sheng's house has helped me help Ling Rui before, I want to see how his situation is later, can you tell me where Li Sheng's family lives?" Ouyang He continued to ask in a way that seemed to be somewhat aimless.

"Oh, if you go to his house, go out of here and go northeast, and there is a red lantern hanging at the door."

"Hey, no, I remember that today is the death day of Li Sheng's mother, how can there be a red lantern in front of his house? It's supposed to be a white lantern, right? ”

"Huh? Oh, yes, yes, I misremembered, maybe I was too nervous to see the color of the lantern just now. Miss Ouyang, you better go quickly, otherwise Ling Gongzi will be in danger. ”

"Oh? Lord Yu Gu, didn't Li Sheng's mother send you hemostatic grass just an hour ago? I just remembered it wrong, so why did you follow me like this? Hehe! With a triumphant expression, Ouyang He drew his sword and stabbed at Yu Zhongrui.

Yu Zhongrui hurriedly dodged, and then took out a pair of Emei thorns from behind him.

"Hehe, you're a Ouyang He, I really can't underestimate you too much!" The "Yu Zhongrui" in front of him tore off his disguise, and this person was really Zhuoxi.

Seeing that Ouyang He's plan to transfer flowers and graft trees was seen through by Ouyang He, Xun Xi could only fight Ouyang He head-on. The two of them hit the open space outside from the room, it seemed that the other disciples of Ice Phoenix Valley had been led out of the courtyard by the people in black, and only Ouyang He and Xun Xi were left in the entire open space.

The battle between the two was indistinguishable in the first dozens of rounds, Ouyang He's martial arts had improved a lot after a period of cultivation in the Firmament Palace, and although Xun Xi still had a slight upper hand in strength, he had not been able to take any advantage of her.

Subsequently, Chu Birou, whose right hand had gradually recovered, arrived with two swords, and the two worked together to fight Zhuoxi.

After dozens of rounds, when Xunxi gradually became a little physically exhausted, Chen Yuxia arrived, and the three of them almost forced Xunxi into a predicament.

"Hehe, even if you are amazing, the show is still to come!" Seeing that it was a little difficult to resist, she quickly left here panting under the cover of several black-clothed people.

"It looks like the people of the Wind Thunder Hall are still staring around us, and they are ordered, and all the disciples will take turns to keep vigil tonight!"

Seeing that the crisis had been resolved, Ouyang He returned to Liu Bing's room and asked about Liu Bing's tears.

"Child, I'm a little tired tonight, these past events are really a long story, can I tell you more details next time?" Liu Bing lay on the pillow with tears in her eyes and whispered to Ouyang He with a smile.

Ouyang He also smiled and nodded in agreement, and then prepared to leave the room.

"Wait a minute, He'er!" The moment Ouyang He stepped out of the threshold with his right foot, Liu Bing stopped her in time, "Your father is a big hero who stands up to the sky, you must believe this, okay?" ”

Ouyang He turned his head and smiled at Liu Bing, then gently closed the door and walked out of the room, while Chu Birou had been sitting in front of the door waiting for her.

"Are you alright? It doesn't look good, I'll walk with you! Chu Birou gently put her hand on Ouyang He's shoulder, and the two of them walked out of the courtyard door chatting casually.

At this time, Chu Birou seemed to hear someone calling her name, and when she looked ahead, it was Ling Wanli driving a carriage towards this side.

"Brother Zhu, he predicted that you would come to Changxi Village at about this point in time, I didn't believe it originally, but I didn't expect to really meet you now, God blesses you!"

After Ling Wanli finished speaking, he lifted the curtain of the carriage, and a man wearing a black hat stepped out of the carriage, and his figure seemed to be a tall young man.

Chu Birou followed Ling Wanli's guidance and took the mysterious man to the room where Liu Yangyang was, while Ouyang He explained Ling Rui's current situation to Ling Wanli with guilt.

"Hmph, it's Wang Xiao again, one day, I will personally slash this thief!" Ling Wanli was angry and sad when he heard that Ling Rui had been injured by Wang Xiao, and Ouyang He then took Ling Wanli to check on Ling Rui's current condition.

This night, after the emergency treatment of Chu Birou and others, several people who were injured in the battle of Ice Phoenix Valley and fell into a coma have all woken up.

On the second day, when everyone got up to retreat to a temporary branch in Ice Phoenix Valley on the shore of Dongting Lake, Liu Yangyang and Tong Kun stopped Ouyang He, Ling Rui, Chu Birou, and Gao Che, and informed them of the important identity of the man who came here in the carriage last night, as well as an important object in his hand that could upend the entire political situation in the Chu State.

"Since Ice Phoenix Valley has suffered this calamity because of us, we must not leave them alone now!" Chu Birou's thoughts are in line with those of others.

After several people discussed, it was decided that Ling Rui and Ling Wanli would escort Liu Yangyang, Tong Kun and that person to sneak into Tanzhou, and find a way to contact the prime minister and other elders of the former emperor to announce the truth about the current Son of Heaven tampering with the edict of the first emperor back then, and at the same time restore the identity of Liu Yangyang and that person. Next, they can find someone they can trust in the Chu Dynasty as soon as possible and go to Dongting Lake to support the people of Ice Phoenix Valley.

On the other side, Ouyang He, Chu Birou, and Gao Che would continue to travel north with the rest of the people in the Ice Phoenix Valley, and this would still be a road full of dangers and bumps that they could not predict.

At the same time, after quickly adjusting and recovering their own strength, Wang Xiao's men and horses were chasing after the people of Binghuang Valley day and night, and razed the entire Changxi Village to the ground by the way......
