Chapter 031: Life and Death in the Depths, a Killing Situation
The long, dimly lit walkway curved forward, and oil lamps were embedded in the walls on either side, giving off a flickering and dim light.
Xie Fenghua sat quietly against the wall, his face calm and peaceful, and he did not feel anxious or uneasy about being imprisoned. She bent one foot against the iron fence, not like a prisoner, but like a passer-by.
It's also quite incredible. From the resurrection from the dead to the present, it is really an indescribable encounter that is either in prison or locked up in Dali Temple.
She suddenly closed her eyes and leaned silently against the wall.
In the silent air, her consciousness grew sharper, and she could hear the sound of the jailers walking outside the prison. In the sound of down-to-earth footsteps, there was a thin sonorous sound, like an iron lock being opened by a key, and then the footsteps were also light and heavy, from far to near, and the wind swept in.
Xie Fenghua was locked alone in a deep prison, surrounded by hard, cold walls except for empty cells. Even when she heard the unusual sound of footsteps, she didn't open her eyes and sat motionless.
Suddenly, in her extreme consciousness, she heard a footstep, light and steady, as if her feet did not touch the ground, but she could make people perceive its existence. With that step came a gust of wind in her clothes, blowing over the iron bars, over the oil lamps on the walls, and heading straight for the deep prison where she was.
Xie Fenghua opened his eyes suddenly.
In front of him stood a tall masked man, no matter how ordinary he was dressed in night clothes, and a pair of eyes exposed were as cold as a sword, dull and waveless, like the bloody wind of the rivers and lakes that had been precipitated for thousands of years.
When he saw her calm and calm face, a look of surprise appeared in the masked man's eyes. Immediately after, with a wave of his hand, he brought out a breath of true qi and cut the chains of the prison door.
With a bang, the iron lock fell to the ground with a circle of chains, and the masked man stepped over and walked in. The tall body faced the cell door, which could block the entrance.
"You don't seem surprised to see me?" The masked man said suddenly.
When Xie Fenghua saw him, the whole person was already on alert, and when she saw him enter the prison door, she stood up and moved closer to the prison door, with a rare look of murder on her face.
She is not stupid, when she saw the masked man appear, she already understood - Du Pingfei had murderous intentions towards her, and she wanted to get rid of her quickly!
She thought that Du Pingfei sent her to Dali Temple with his body, and deducted such a crime on her head that she couldn't turn over, so she would take a break for a while. But she didn't want to, this person was even more ruthless than she imagined, and she couldn't get rid of her with one move, so she couldn't wait to make a second move!
Aren't you afraid of long nights and dreams?
She has always been accustomed to quick battles, and when she encountered such a neat method as Du Pingfei at this moment, she felt a little excited in her heart.
It's just that she is not a careless person, she naturally knows that she has to save her life before she can have fun with Du Pingfei, and her vigilance is much higher than before, and her slender body is tight in order to deal with attacks that come at any time.
At this time, the masked man suddenly sneered, looked at her secret defense like a clown, and said disdainfully: "Why waste your efforts? In the end, it's just death. ”
"Not necessarily." Xie Fenghua looked at him fearlessly and sneered, "Didn't your master tell you that until the last moment, it would be impossible for anyone to kill the deer?" ”
The masked man was stunned, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a murderous intent seemed to gather between his eyebrows, and he asked in a deep voice, "Do you know who my master is?" ”
"Who else could it be besides the queen who directed and acted in danger?" As if he hadn't heard him inhale secretly, Xie Fenghua slowly paced along the iron fence with his hands behind his back, and said as he paced, "The queen should wake up now, right?" Being able to push me to a dead end with my body layout is really enough to lift me up! It's just that I've always been a good person, and she tripped me up a game, so I have to let her take off a layer of skin. ”
The masked man looked up to the sky and laughed as if he had heard some joke, and only after laughing did he say, "It's up to you?" How much do you think you have to get out of this cell? Don't you want to count on Dingyuanhou? ”
He shook his head, with a hint of pity in his eyes, "At this time, the Marquis of Dingyuan must have been too busy to take care of himself, and today you will not be able to fly no matter what!" ”
Xie Fenghua's lips were pursed into a word, and under the warm yellow light, his eyes were as heavy as an abyss, without waves, as if he was brewing the monstrous wind and waves in the next moment. She shook the hand behind her back, and in extreme silence, she suddenly smiled: "Do you think that I will be the one who binds life to others?" ”
The masked man couldn't help but sneer, "Then you should tell me, without Dingyuanhou, what else can you do!" ”
"I've got a lot of skills!" Xie Fenghua pursed his lips and smiled, took another step forward, and said lightly, "Even if you don't have Dingyuan Hou's move, do you think you will be able to get your wish?" ”
The masked man was about to sneer, but when he saw a bewitching and sarcastic smile on her face, his lips opened lightly, "Others don't know, don't you know that my biggest reliance is myself?" I haven't seen you for many years, and your memory is really getting worse and worse, Xiao Yao! ”
The last two words were spit out, and the masked man's eyes showed a trace of fear, and at this moment, Xie Fenghua suddenly rose into the air and sneaked over like lightning.
Xiao Yao's reaction was also unexpectedly fast, and when her whole body attacked, she had already raised an elbow to block it in front of her. The other hand pulled up the chain with the iron lock at the cell door, and with a bang, the chain was poured into the true qi, as if it had life, and swept towards Xie Fenghua's heavenly spirit cover.
Xie Fenghua's forward momentum was unstoppable, his feet kicked the chain that came from the air vigorously, and then kicked Xiao Yao's head with lightning speed, and he raised his hand to block and dodge, just as his chest was exposed, and as soon as his feet kicked, he kicked on his chest.
With a bang, a living person was kicked out of the cell door like rags, and slammed directly into the iron bar next door.
In the smoke and dust, Xie Fenghua fell to the ground, stood with his hands in his hands, stared coldly at the person lying on the ground, patted the dust on his clothes, and said disapprerovitically: "I said it all, I myself am the biggest reliance!" You don't remember my words, and you don't have a long lesson? ”
Xiao Yao clutched his chest, and it took a long time to recover, baring his teeth and taking a breath of cold air. Xie Fenghua's kick was too heavy, and when he landed, he only felt that his internal organs were turned upside down and turned over several rounds.
He raised his head to look, but saw that in the smoke and dust, the man stood with his hands in his hands, his body was tall like a green pine on a cliff, his face was tense, and his eyes were solemn, which reminded people of the cold autumn in the bamboo forest in the deep mountains for no reason.
"Marshal Xie?" Xiao Yao screamed in surprise, but soon clutched his chest and staggered to his feet, shaking his head in denial, "No, you are not Marshal Xie!" Who are you? Why do you ...... Why ......"
Why did you say that?
"Why?" The corners of Xie Fenghua's lips hooked, and his smile was clear, but his eyes became more and more cold, "Then why should I tell you?" Who are you? ”
Xiao Yao lowered his head slightly, a trace of yin owl crossed his eyes, he walked over step by step, panting and said, "What is my identity...... Don't you know who I am......"
Before the end fell, he saw him jump up in the air, and a big turn slashed at Xie Fenghua with a palm, Xie Fenghua flew up directly, flicked his sleeves, and a strong true qi smashed straight towards Xiao Yao, but he avoided it sideways, and the palm force directly hit the wall of the cell, and the pillars around the next cell collapsed with a bang.
"It's not bad, but it's far worse than me." Xie Fenghua snorted coldly and chased after him.
Xiao Yao was already injured, and his actions were quite restricted, and he seemed to know the gap between himself and Xie Fenghua, and he was not so aggressive for a while, but kept dodging and avoiding, and the two formed a posture of chasing after me, and soon came to the outside of the entire cell.
The cells in Dali Temple are different from those in Tianjiao, except that the deep prison where Xie Fenghua was held at the beginning was made of iron, and outside the prison was a wooden fence and a prison door.
At this moment, Xiao Yao was also forced to be a little ruthless, and uncharacteristically no longer dodged, but met Xie Fenghua's attack with his palm, and the four palms struck, as if there was a force to destroy the world and sweep out, and then there was a roar in his ears, and the iron doors and wooden pillars of the cell were splashed with dust on all sides, and they fell down one by one, and at a glance, there was a feeling of razing to the ground.
In the midst of the smoke and dust, Xiao Yao flew over, and took a dagger in his hand at some point, but he waved it wantonly against Xie Fenghua's body, picking or stabbing it, and his attack was precise and murderous, and he actually controlled the whole situation backhand, and forced Xie Fenghua back step by step.
Xie Fenghua's pace was a little chaotic, she was used to fighting on horseback, and she could take the enemy's head thousands of miles away, but Xiao Yao was good at hand-to-hand combat, but for a while, her hands and feet were restrained.
Since she was framed by Du Pingfei, she had an inexplicable restlessness in her heart, thinking that when she had a heavy army, she had always forced people into a desperate situation, how could she have fallen to such a down-and-out and miserable state?
Thinking that Xiao Yao broke into the prison in the middle of the night and wanted to extinguish her mouth, her deeply buried anger was gradually provoked, but she turned over and jumped to the corner of the inner and outer prisons, picked up a spear, and held it in her hand.
With a bang, Xiao Yao only felt a pain in his chest, and his whole body seemed to be cramped and broken, and he couldn't exert any strength, and smashed straight into the wooden fence of the outer prison.
Another cell collapsed.
In the midst of the smoke and dust, Xie Fenghua stood tall, the spear in his hand fell to the ground, and the sharp silver light of the spear tip shone brightly, reflecting the murderous aura in those eyes.
Xiao Yao struggled to get up from the ground and pointed at her, trembling all over. He had a frightened look on his face, as if he had seen a ghost, and exclaimed, "Who are you?" Why this martial arts? ”
"My sister taught me!" Xie Fenghua's chin was slightly raised, and his posture was awe-inspiring.
Xiao Yao's eyes changed a few times, and he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, "Marshal Xie is really well-intentioned!" People are already dead, and they still know how to leave a way out. Do you still expect to go her way? ”
Anger gathered between his eyebrows, his expression was fierce and bloodthirsty, and he shouted coldly: "No matter who you are, you must leave your life here today!" ”
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and soon a man in black appeared behind him, carrying a few people like chickens in his hands, but it was Gao Lei, the young secretary of Dali Temple, and three other men who didn't know.
"Presumably Marshal Xie also told you that life and death are not so easy." Xiao Yao coldly swept over the four people who were being held hostage, and his voice was terrifying and sharp, "Second Miss Xie, this cell has been controlled by my people, you will definitely not be able to get out." However, you can choose who will accompany you to the funeral. Are you satisfied with these? ”
Xie Fenghua's lips were pursed into a word, and he looked coldly into his eyes. In the fight just now, the cloth towel on his face did not fall off, and only a pair of eyes were exposed from beginning to end. But at this moment, he seems to be crazy, and his words and deeds have a bit of destruction like jade.
She frowned and laughed coldly, "Do you think these people can stop me?" ”
After galloping on the battlefield for so many years, how many enemies have used such tricks, she has long been trained to be cold and hard-hearted, and the eyes that swept past those four people at this moment were not shocked, just like looking at lifeless things.
Xiao Yao was quite surprised by this, and then he understood after thinking about it, and sneered: "It is worthy of Marshal Xie's sister." This ability to disregard human life is really a perfect learning. In that case, then I have nothing to be polite about. ”
These four people were originally on duty in Dali Temple tonight, but they heard something they shouldn't have heard just now, and they couldn't save their lives no matter what.
He raised his hand, but saw the black-clothed man beside him splashing blood, and a head rolled to Xie Fenghua's feet.
The other three suddenly screamed, except for Gao Lei, the other two had already fainted in fright.
Xie Fenghua's hand holding the spear tightened, and in a place where no one could see it, a trace of yin owl crossed his eyes, and when the man in black raised the knife again, the spear in his hand suddenly picked up, picked up a handful of soil on the ground, and jumped out like lightning.
Before everyone could see how she made a move, they heard the screams, and a blood flower bloomed on the chests of the black-clothed people, and they fell into a pool of blood with a bang.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiao Yao retreated step by step under the escort of his subordinates, and soon arrived at the outermost prison door. He smiled coldly and jumped out of the door with his men, but he didn't want to, the door was a stone door, and it fell with a bang, cutting off the inside and outside of the world.
Xie Fenghua kicked the door hard, but found that he didn't move, and was about to find out if there was a mechanism or something, but a male voice came from behind him, "Don't waste your efforts." The stone gate of Dali Temple is outside, and once it is closed, the people inside will be unable to fly. ”
"How can there be such a thing?" Xie Fenghua looked back, the person who spoke was Gao Lei, and hurriedly asked, "Is there any other way to escape besides this door?" ”
She always felt that Xiao Yao would not just lock her up.
This person must have a back-up move!
As he was thinking this, he suddenly saw something pouring liquid into the walls around him, and a strange smell suddenly spread.
As soon as Xie Fenghua smelled the smell, his face changed greatly!
It's actually fire oil!
Gao Lei suddenly jumped up, "Crazy, crazy!" They're going to burn us to death! What to do, what to do? ”
"Is there an escape?" Xie Fenghua became more and more calm, grabbed Gao Lei, who was jumping up and down, and asked coldly.
Gao Lei met such a cold look, his body suddenly trembled, his head also turned, his finger pointed to the depths of the cell, and he said, "Yes...... There's a tunnel in the deep dungeon......"
"Take me!" Xie Fenghua picked up the placket on his chest, and swept him into the deep prison with his feet without touching the ground, the more he walked in, the stronger the smell of fire oil became, and then there was a bang, and a fire fold was thrown down from nowhere, and in an instant, the fire was blazing, and the demonic hot flame snake spread.
There were many prisoners in this cell, some of whom had been poisoned by the flames, and as they walked along, there were endless cries and wails, and people rolling on the ground to put out the fires were everywhere.
"It's on fire!" Gao Lei's face was full of despair and fear, his hands and feet were frozen, and he turned his head, but he couldn't help but ask Xie Fenghua's cold and indifferent face for a while, "Can we escape?" ”
Xie Fenghua didn't hear his words, the more this time, the calmer she became, feeling the bigger and bigger flames and the heat wave blowing in her face, and asked loudly: "Where is the tunnel you are talking about?" ”
Gao Lei hurriedly pointed her ahead, but she was in the cell next door where she was originally held. She quickly ran over and pulled up the mechanism on the ground according to Gao Lei's instructions, and a dark tunnel appeared in front of her.
"Go down." Xie Fenghua let go of Gao Lei's clothes, and his whole person happened to fall at the entrance of the tunnel, looking up at her at this moment, and hurriedly said: "It's hot outside, you jump down quickly!" ”
Xie Fenghua pursed her lips, looked back at the fire that was gradually getting bigger, the smoke was billowing and wailing all over the ground, her heart tightened, and she suddenly turned back, leaving Gao Lei staring at her back with a complicated expression.
Since Xiao Yao has done the matter of burning Dali Temple, he will definitely not leave a living mouth, otherwise he will leave endless troubles. But she can't go like this, since the prisoners in this prison have not been executed, it means that there is still a possibility of survival, and they can't be affected by her.
She kicked open the doors of the various cells in the billowing smoke, and led the people to the tunnel, and when the last person jumped down, she suddenly heard Gao Lei's angry voice, "I can't come in again!" This tunnel is only a temporary shelter, it does not lead to the outside, and it can no longer accommodate people. ”
Xie Fenghua laughed angrily, this year, there is still an authentic tunnel that only opens one end!
Is it funny?
But the man at the entrance of the tunnel was looking at her nervously, as if he was worried that she would take herself out, but she pulled the corners of her mouth and pulled the switch on the tunnel.
She turned to look, and everywhere she saw was raging tongues of fire, although she had used her true qi to force back part of her feet, but when her true qi was exhausted, she had to escape as soon as possible!
There is a sea of fire on all sides, how to escape?
Xie Fenghua's sharp eyes swept over, and when he swept the skylight overhead, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he picked up the spear in his hand and split the two pillars standing beside him, and when the pillar tilted to the ground, he took advantage of the pillar to soar into the air, and at the same time, the spear stabbed a big hole in the tiles near the skylight. She relayed up under her feet, and in an instant, she came out like a phoenix in flames.
The fire burned from the ground, but the roof was not affected, but it gave her an opportunity. She flipped over and landed on the intact bricks not far away. But she didn't stop, her body ran on the roof like a swallow, and when she ran to the edge of the roof, she suddenly fell on her stomach, hung upside down by the wall, and the spear in her hand slashed horizontally at the black-clothed people who were watching the squatting by the wall, and with a sweep, a blood line splashed out of the chests of those black-clothed people, and their bodies fell to the ground together.
Xiao Yao originally planned to stay and watch the final result, but he didn't want Xie Fenghua to escape, so he hurriedly raised his knife to meet him.
Xie Fenghua was already experienced in a hundred battles, and it was not a problem to deal with a few people, first solved Xiao Yao's men, and then raised his spear to slash at Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao wanted to block it with the knife in his hand, but found that the spear weighed as much as a thousand catties, and the knife in his hand was directly broken. Then, with a heavy weight on his shoulders and a bend of his feet, he was pressed to his knees by the spear.
On the other side, Xie Fenghua kicked in the air in a cold voice, and said coldly: "Take your life!" ”
With a kick over, Xiao Yao's body crashed into the ground, Xie Fenghua wanted to make up for it, but an arrow suddenly shot in mid-air, and the kicked foot was forced to be retracted, but he didn't want to, but Xiao Yao made Shengping escape from here as fast as possible, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Xie Fenghua pursed his lips and glared angrily at the direction where the arrow came from, but saw Yuan Minzhou and Dali Siqing Xu Hong striding over, and Xu Hong was still holding a bow in his hand, it was obvious that the arrow just now was shot by him.
"How are you?" Yuan Minzhou strode up, looked up and down, left and right, and when he found that she was still in good spirits, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, there is no danger!" My mother suddenly fell ill tonight, and I couldn't care about it for a while...... I'm glad it's okay, otherwise how would I explain it......"
Xie Fenghua listened to these almost incoherent words, and a warm current suddenly flowed in his heart. Thinking of what Xiao Yao said before, "I don't have time to take care of myself", he also said: "It's okay......"
"How can it be okay?" Xu Hong waved his hand, and immediately two guards stepped forward and flashed their shining swords, "Second Miss Xie, the cell of Dali Temple is burned like this, you can't escape the responsibility." Assassinate the queen first, kill people and set fire later, if the official doesn't promote you to the court and torture, I'm sorry for the innocent people who died in the fire! Come on, take it down! ”
Xie Fenghua pointed at him in disbelief, "What did you say?" Say it again to me! ”
Before Xu Hong could speak again, Xie Fenghua had already hammered it with a punch.
With a bang, Xu Hong was knocked unconscious.
Yuan Minzhou shook his head, "The gentleman doesn't move his mouth!" ”
"I'm a little girl!" Xie Fenghua blew his fist, thinking of Xiao Yao who had escaped, he couldn't help frowning, "That person just now ......"
"I let Changying chase after me. Rest assured, I will tell you when I have my whereabouts. Yuan Minzhou said.
Xie Fenghua nodded hurriedly and thanked him, and the blazing firelight was reflected in those black and white eyes, like a ghost dancing in the dark night.
……
After Xiao Yao escaped from Dali Temple, he did not go back to the palace directly, but went to the Du family's ice cellar. But he was already seriously injured, and before he could hide in the ice cellar, he had already collapsed.
At this moment, Du Huaishao happened to pass by, and when he saw him, the whole person was taken aback. Before he could make a move, Xiao Yao had already rushed up to restrain him, and said viciously: "Help me do something!" I'll spare you from death! ”
Du Huaishao had already recognized his identity, and seeing that he could easily restrain himself even if he was injured, he hesitated and nodded.
A quarter of an hour later, a small sedan chair was quietly lifted out of the palace and went straight to Du's mansion.
Du Pingfei entered the courtyard in the southwest corner of Du Mansion in a low-key manner, and when he saw Du Huaishao guarding the door, his eyes flashed, and he walked over quickly.
saw Du Huaishao bow slightly, open the door, and retreated.
Du Pingfei couldn't help but glance at him more, and then ordered Yuehe to guard the door of the house, and hurriedly walked into the room, but saw Xiao Yao lying on the bed, and noticed that someone was coming in, so he quickly opened his eyes and struggled to get up.
"Don't move." Du Pingfei hurriedly stopped him and said hurriedly, "What's the matter?" Who hurt you so badly? ”
Xiao Yao thought of Xie Fenghua's face, gritted his teeth with hatred, and said, "It's the second miss of the Xie family!" ”
Du Pingfei's eyes suddenly widened, and he said in disbelief: "Xie Er? How could she have such a great ability? ”
"Her martial arts were taught by Marshal Xie himself!" Xiao Yao said with a gloomy face.
He had tried it with Xie Fenghua, and in his heart, that woman was an invincible existence like a god.
Du Pingfei snorted coldly: "It seems that this Xie Er can't stay!" ”
"Oh? Why is the queen mother not keeping me? ”
A clear voice sounded overhead, and the two of them were startled, but they saw a hole suddenly open above their heads, and a figure fluttered down......
