In the dark night, a silent game began.

The people inside didn't dare to go out, and the people outside didn't dare to come in, so they confronted each other like this.

The leader of the black robe has long been sweating like rain, and there are not many people sent to him by the prime minister, but they are all elites, and they are all the hope of the prime minister, he doesn't want these people to fold here, it is true that he can feel that those people outside bring him an oppressive atmosphere.

This feeling made him very uncomfortable, as if he was already a turtle in an urn, cutting the fish and meat, and let others slaughter it.

Even though it was a cold winter, he was still sweating profusely.

Suddenly he seemed to smell something strange, like something was burned.

When I turned my head, the windows were burning, and it seemed that the people outside could no longer sit still, and wanted to force them out with fire, either to be burned alive inside, or to go out.

The black-robed man knew that there was only one choice in it now, and it must be a dead end, and he might be able to fight if he went out.

He immediately let everyone out, but they were dispersed by the fire, and everyone was crushed, and as soon as he went out, he was almost caught, and his sword wiped his neck.

The black-robed leader shouted in the fire, but received no response from his companions.

It was only after a moment that he realized that these people were simply terrifying.

All his companions were killed.

A strange middle-aged man walked out of the firelight, sneered and said, "It seems that the prime minister is really at the end of his rope, and the person he chose is so vulnerable." ”

As soon as the words fell, the black-robed man felt that he had been hit hard, and his body flew out like a kite with a broken string, and there was a fresh sweet taste in his throat, and he suddenly couldn't get up, and he didn't even touch the shadow of the other party.

"Who the hell are you from?" The black-robed man asked.

"Go to hell and ask Lord Hades." The middle-aged man smiled, and with a wave of his hand, a man stepped forward and pierced his chest with a long sword.

His eyes widened a little unwillingly, and he asked with difficulty, "You are the people of King Mujun, right?" Only King Mujun knows so much about the prime minister. ”

The middle-aged man didn't speak, just smiled coldly.

The man in black gradually closed his eyes.

"Clean up the traces." The middle-aged man commanded.

"Yes." Someone at the bottom responded.

The marks of the burn, washed away by the water, were less obvious, and as if they were used to doing these tasks, someone dug a big pit and threw the corpses into it, and before the earth could be filled, the sky was bright.

There are many mountain people in the vicinity who will go to the mountains to cut down trees, and the middle-aged man does not want to implicate innocent people, if they are found then they will have to kill people, so he immediately ordered people to fill in some soil and left here.

In the deep pit, there was a low coughing sound, and a pair of eyes opened from the dirt.

He clutched his chest, struggled to cut through the thin layer of soil that covered him, and came out of the soil, looking at the corpse of his side-by-side combat partner, his eyes were full of hatred.

But he didn't dare to stay in this place for long, and left with his chest clutched.

Unbeknownst to them, someone was watching this scene in the distance.

Bai Ze quickly brought the news back.

Qi Lichen nodded, "I'm afraid that the prime minister won't dare to speak on the surface, and he will also have a grudge against King Mujun behind his back." ”

"Those two people were able to make such a drama at the beginning, making the world believe that they were mortal enemies, but they had a good relationship in private, would they really fall apart because of this incident?" Bai Ze was a little worried.

"Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they don't disappear so easily." Qi Lichen smiled, "This matter is very well done, send the reward money down, let him not appear for the time being." ”

Bai Ze nodded, "Then can we leave?" ”

Qi Lichen was still a little reluctant to leave, and when he was halfway there, he was thinking about Xi Muyun, and he was afraid that it would take another ten days and half a month to go. 85

Xi Muyun got the news of the volcanic ash, and I am afraid that he will have to contact Xu Bu.

The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I became, and I really wanted to take Xi Muyun with me, but this trip was too dangerous, and many people coveted this treasure, and they were all outlaws. Anything can be done.

Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Bai Ze asked a little strangely, "Pavilion Master?" ”

Qi Lichen came back to his senses at this time, and felt funny when he thought about it, when did he become so cautious? Then he commanded in a deep voice: "According to the original plan, let's start acting the day after tomorrow." ”

Bai Ze nodded, "I'll order someone to prepare." ”

It doesn't take too long to get everything packed up.

Xi Muyun was also packing up and preparing to go into the mountain to find the so-called volcanic ash.

It's time to say goodbye again, there are always too many things to say, Qi Lichen has asked this and that, and he always feels that there are too many things that have not been said.

In the end, Xi Muyun was a little impatient, took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'm not a three-year-old child, I can take care of myself." ”

Speaking of which, Qi Lichen reluctantly left.

Qi Lichen left, and Xi Muyun also began to prepare for entering the mountain.

Cuiyun packed a lot of dry food, and Bai Bing also went out to rent a horse.

The mountain road is rugged, the road is very narrow, and the carriage is not easy to walk, so you can only ride a horse.

Xi Muyun had ridden a horse before, but it wasn't very difficult, and after preparing everything, the three of them went up the mountain.

Hearing that the active volcano was deep in the mountains, Xi Muyun thought of a very serious question, if he really found that the volcanic ash mountain road was not easy to walk, then how should these things be transported?

But now it's only time to find it first.

Halfway through, I found a village, according to the local villagers, there was indeed a volcanic eruption back then, magma leaked out of the surface, and the ash from the eruption almost covered the entire sky.

Xi Muyun didn't expect that the volcanic eruption would be so serious.

After further questioning, it was found that the site of the eruption was not far from the village, which had been almost wiped out.

People believe that it is the punishment of the gods, and they are naturally angry, so they will bring a terrible hell to the world.

Xi Muyun knew that this was just a law of nature.

They followed the guidance of those people and came to a volcanic crater, the volcano was much smaller than they had imagined, the mountain was all black and gray, and there was no grass, it seemed that because of the eruption, the land here was no longer suitable for growing plants.

Xi Muyun grabbed a handful of dust casually, and it was fluttering, and it was indeed somewhat similar to some of the ingredients in modern cement.

When I was a child, there would always be construction sites around, and when I passed by, the light gray powder would always stain my pants, which was unbearable.

This ingredient is somewhat similar to it, so this is probably the thing.

In ancient times, lime was widely used, and it was not rare, as long as these things were transported back, it would not be a problem to build river embankments.

Xi Muyun smiled knowingly.

She had some volcanic ash with her, and when she was about to return, suddenly all the villagers came out and stopped in front of the mountain road, preventing them from leaving.

Xi Muyun was a little strange, she didn't do anything to be sorry for these villagers.

Those people just looked at her with fear, and although they were afraid, their eyes were full of determination.

Bai Bing took out his sword and threatened them, and although those people dodged, they still stood in front of the mountain road very firmly.

"Why don't you let us go?" Xi Muyun said in a deep voice.

It's not that she's afraid that these villagers will hurt herself, with Bai Bing here, it shouldn't be a problem to solve these mountain people who don't know martial arts, but Xi Muyun is afraid that these innocent people will be hurt.
