Ning Zhangtang was so sleepy that he was waiting for the news of the mountain dragon, and just after taking a nap, he heard the guards come in and report that he had caught two people who had escaped down the mountain. Ning Zhangtang thought that the news he was waiting for was back, so he hurriedly called for someone to come in. When he saw the two little girls kneeling on the ground with messy hair and panting, he scolded angrily: "Bastard, who wants you to bring two women in, over the mountain dragon?" ”

The guard was startled, and hurriedly replied: "Ning Zhangtang, these two women came down from the mountain, and their appearance is suspicious, and their subordinates suspect that they are related to the bandits in this grass ridge. ”

"Oh?" Ning Zhangtang sobered up a little, looked at the two women kneeling on the ground, and asked, "Where are you from?" Why are you here so early in the morning? ”

Meng Yuchu stabilized his mind and replied: "Our family lives in the back mountain, and we want to go around the mountain road to the city early in the morning..."

Ning Zhangtang stared at her and continued to ask, "What's so strange about the back mountain?" ”

Meng Yuchu rolled his eyes and said, "As usual, nothing abnormal. ”

Ning Zhangtang snorted coldly: "This mountain was surrounded by us yesterday, and the people under the mountain have long been dismissed; Besides, there was a fierce battle in the back mountain last night, you said there was nothing unusual, is this possible? Tell me, where did you come from? ”

Meng Yuchu secretly complained in his heart, he was too bad at lying, and he was seen to be flawed in two sentences, so no matter how Ning Zhangtang asked, he just kept silent.

Ning Zhangtang stayed up all night, he was already a little irritable, and now he didn't have the patience to grind with them, and just wanted to ask someone to escort them down, but suddenly remembered something, and ordered the guard: "Go and call Cheng Huaicai and Zhu Quan!" ”

Soon, Cheng Huaicai and Zhu Quan came to the big tent. These two people had been following Ning Zhangtang last night, and they hadn't been asleep for long, and they were both sleepy-eyed and not fully awake. Hearing the call, although I was very dissatisfied in my heart, I didn't dare to slack off, who wants them to make meritorious contributions!

Ning Zhangtang saw the two of them coming, pointed to the two women on the ground and asked him, "Do you know these two women?" ”

Liu Yuzhen just raised her head and looked at Cheng Huaicai for a while, and then lowered her head again, Cheng Huaicai shook his head and said, "I don't know this", and looked at the other one.

Meng Yuchu kept his head down, and Cheng Huaicai looked left and right and didn't dare to confirm. Ning Zhangtang was a little annoyed and shouted: "Raise your head!" The two women instinctively raised their heads, and then Cheng Zhu and the others could see it clearly.

Cheng Huaicai pointed at Meng Yuchu and said: "It's her, she is the little girl who sold herself, and was later captured by bandits!" ”

Ning Zhangtang looked at Meng Yuchu with fierce eyes, like a hungry wolf looking at a rabbit, stared at her and shouted, "So you guys ran out of the bandits' lair, tell me, where are they now?" I'll let you go home, tell the truth! ”

Meng Yuchu was shocked by this drink, she tried to calm herself, looked at Ning Zhangtang and said, "I was indeed taken captive by them, but I escaped before they moved, and I don't know where they are. ”

"Oh, you don't know?" Ning Zhangtang stared at Meng Yuchu viciously.

"Yes, we're just maids, how can we know?" Meng Yuchu replied.

Ning Zhangtang bent over and stared at her closely, and continued to ask, "I heard that when you were robbed, you voluntarily went up the mountain; Now that we have just sealed the mountain, you have come down the mountain and broken into our camp, why is that? Or are you just the work of these bandits, and you've come to find out the news for them? ”

Meng Yuchu was really ashamed and annoyed when she heard this, and she didn't know that she was in a gang with the bandits! She stood up suddenly, and shouted at Ning Zhangtang: "You are a bloody squirting person!" As soon as I got in the car, I was tied hand and foot, gagged, and hungry for a whole day and a night, and if I followed you again, my life might be gone! In order to survive, yesterday we took advantage of the chaos to escape and hide in the cave, and now it is in your hands, and you still want to slander me, you... It's too much... Woo...", Meng Yuchu actually cried sadly.

Ning Zhangtang originally wanted to trick this little girl and see if she knew something, but when he saw her reaction so fiercely, he knew that it would be futile to ask again, so he beckoned outward, and two guards immediately stepped forward.

Ning Zhangtang ordered: "Escort them down, watch tightly!" "Two little girls, if they can escape from the hands of the bandits, it is hard to guarantee that they will not slip away from their hands.

"Wait!" Meng Yuchu shouted: "I'm the person you're looking for, but this sister has nothing to do with you, you let her go!" In this case, she still wants to fight for Liu Yuzhen's life.

"Oh, really?" Ning Zhangtang sneered, and the few people next to him also laughed gloomily.

"As long as it's related to these bandits, it's about us! It's because the two little girls provoked this dispute, and now I'll pay off the debt with the two of you! ”

"You can't be unreasonable!" Meng Yuchu was already very angry, first slandered her, and now forcibly detained people, and shouted even more emotionally.

"Reason? Haha" Ning Zhangtang laughed, and several other people also laughed, "What a little girl, dare to say anything." What is Reason? I'll tell you, girl, here I'm reason, what I say is reason! In this world, whoever is powerful will be reasonable, and whoever is powerful must listen to whom! ”

"You ......" Meng Yuchu was angry with this "crooked reasoning" and didn't know what to say.

"Sister, don't say it." Liu Yuzhen stopped Meng Yuchu, what kind of reasoning to talk to these people, they are much more ferocious than bandits.

"Sister..."Meng Yuchu held Liu Yuzhen's hand helplessly.

In this way, two weak little girls who wanted to break out of the cage and start a new life fell into the tiger's mouth again, and no one dared to imagine what they would face next...

At sunrise, the mountain dragon sent out finally came, but more than thirty people were dispatched, and only five or six came back, and all of them were not lightly injured.

In the big tent, Vice General Huo frowned, while Ning Zhangtang was furious, and the remnants of several mountain dragons kneeling on the ground were trembling, they knew what was waiting for them after the mission failed, but they also understood that if Tangkou suffered greater losses because of their mistakes, then their families would also be in danger! This is the iron law of Condensation Hall, which is also the reason why Condensing Hall has been getting bigger and stronger for more than ten years, and it is also one of the reasons why people are frightened. Therefore, as long as he does not die, he must come back, even if he comes back to die, he must come back, because no one wants to affect his family.

"You say it again," Ning Zhangtang said coldly to one of them.

"We looked southwest, and we really saw a smoky forest, and my subordinates confirmed that it was a thick fog. More than 30 of us were divided into five groups and entered from different directions. In fact, there are not many trees inside, but there are a lot of strange stones, but people can't tell the direction when they go inside, and the methods used before don't work. The stone was completely different from the stones usually seen in the mountains, and some brothers rested on a stone, and the result was as if they had gone mad, and finally ran to death; The most terrible thing is that even if you don't touch anything, you stay in it for less than a quarter of an hour, your ears are like a drum, your head is splitting, and the longer you stay, the more confused you become, and some brothers commit suicide because of hallucinations... A few of us have relatively good concentration, so we can only keep self-harming to keep ourselves awake with pain, find an exit as soon as possible, and come back to report..."The man lowered his head and spoke intermittently.

It turned out that the injuries they suffered were not caused by a fight with a human weapon, nor did they fall into some trap, but caused self-harm in order to stay sober, which is really a great shame! They are the pathfinders carefully cultivated by the Condensation Hall, attacking mountains and exploring the way, destroying mechanisms, and removing obstacles are all their specialties, and they are all pretentious on weekdays, but they didn't expect to be almost wiped out today!

"Rubbish! Rubbish! A bunch of rubbish!! Ning Zhangtang was so angry that he jumped to his feet and scolded!

Vice General Huo on the side spoke: "I have encountered such a strange thing when I attacked the Yi tribe in the south before, and I listened to the local guide explain that because of the humid climate and low-lying climate in the south, the fog often does not disperse; Coupled with the lack of sunlight, there are often animal carcasses in the fog that decay and form miasma, if people mistakenly break into the miasma, they will be hit by the miasma and their consciousness will collapse, and they will die violently after not coming out for a long time. It's just that this grass ridge is high, and there is little rain and snow, how can there be such a place? ”

Ning Zhangtang took a breath and asked, "Could it be that this Falling Grass Ridge is high in front and low in the back, and there is such a low-lying area right behind?" If so, how is that good? ”

Vice General Huo still frowned and said: "Listen to the guide, this fog is similar to the water flow, both have a certain trend and flow direction, generally light in the wind, thick in the leeward, light in the wide area, and thick in the narrow place; Moreover, if there are many rocks and trees, the fog is easy to circulate and linger. You send someone to probe the direction of this fog, and don't trespass until you find out! ”

Ning Zhangtang glared at the few people on the ground, and said sharply, "Did you hear it clearly?" Roll down and bandage the wound first, and then bring thirty... No... Take fifty people to continue to investigate, and be sure to figure out the direction of this fog! ”

"Yes, my subordinates understand!" It's really a creation, but it didn't give death, and a few people hurriedly ran out.

"Shame on you!" Looking at the backs of several people, Ning Zhangtang scolded hatefully.

Vice General Huo muttered thoughtfully on the side: "Luocaoling, it's not simple..."

In a special tent, Meng Yuchu looked out from time to time, and he was really restless when he fell into the hands of these people again, and Liu Yuzhen seemed to be very sleepy, leaning on her knees and falling asleep in a daze.

"Sister, what can I do about this? There are officers and soldiers everywhere, we don't know if there is a chance to escape? Meng Yuchu sat down next to Liu Yuzhen helplessly.

Hey, why doesn't it feel right, why is Liu Yuzhen's body so hot? Meng Yuchu reached out and touched Liu Yuzhen's forehead, "Ah, it's so hot!" Meng Yuchu was anxious all of a sudden, shaking Liu Yuzhen, and shouted eagerly: "Sister, sister, what's wrong with you?" Don't scare me, sister, wake up..."

Liu Yuzhen was shaken tightly, slowly raised her head, tried to open her eyes and glanced at Meng Yuchu, then lowered her head and muttered, "It's okay... Don't say goodbye... I'm afraid, my sister is... It's just a little sleepy... It's good to sleep for a while...", and then fell asleep groggily.

Meng Yuchu is not very good at taking care of people, and seeing that Liu Yuzhen has a high fever but is unable to do anything, he is really anxious. She ran to the door and said to the guard at the door: "My sister has a fever, please find her a Langzhong, please..."

The two guards looked at each other, and one of them asked, "What's going on?" Then he walked into the account and saw Liu Yuzhen curled up, stretched out her hand to probe, it was very hot, it was indeed a fever.

Meng Yuchu watched the guard walk out, but when he saw him standing at the door, he chased after them and shouted: "My sister is sick, please save her, please..."

The guard glanced at Meng Yuchu and said helplessly: "Little girl, several big people are angry right now, who dares to go over and annoy them with these little things, isn't that death?" Besides, your sister must have had a cold last night, it's okay, just carry it over! ”

Carry it and pass? Meng Yuchu once had a younger brother of his own family who died because of a high fever and couldn't be treated, so Meng Yuchu didn't believe what they said!

"High fever can also kill people, please, find a Langzhong for my sister... Otherwise, if you let me go and see your manager, I'll go and tell him..."Meng Yuchu knelt on the ground and pulled them to plead.

The noise here alarmed a person in another village, and when he heard the voice, it felt familiar, so he walked to the door and carefully distinguished, this voice was...

The guard at the door saw him come out, hurriedly stretched out his arm to block, and said, "Young Master Liu, please rest in the tent!" ”

Liu Jingcheng was not annoyed, looked at the guard, and said, "I don't go out, I just want to know who is making noise?" ”

The guard glanced at him disdainfully and said, "Liu Gongzi still don't worry so much, just take care of yourself!" ”

Liu Jingcheng took out a little money from his sleeve, stuffed it into the guard's hand, and said, "I don't care about idle things, I just think she is noisy, whose woman is that?" ”

The guard quietly accepted the money and whispered: "Two girls ran down from the mountain in the morning, and they broke into the camp in a daze, and they were caught by Ning Zhangtang, and now they are locked in a small tent over there. It seems that one of them has a fever, and the other begs for this to see a doctor, who dares to care about this idle matter at this critical moment. ”

The two girls who came down from the mountain, they really are! This voice should be from that little girl, so isn't the sister she said is Yuzhen? Yuzhen is sick? Think about it, Yuzhen has suffered this since she was a child, she must have had a cold in the mountains last night, no, she has to find a way to help her...

Liu Jingcheng thought for a while, then took out some money and stuffed it into the guard's hand, and said, "Brother, that girl is annoying, I ask you to find someone to buy some medicine to treat the wind and cold and send it over..."

The guard pushed it away and said, "I can't control this, if I find out, maybe I will be punished again, don't do it, don't do it!" "After working on errands for a long time, I naturally know what money can be made and what money cannot be earned, and life is more important than money!

Liu Jingcheng grabbed his hand, forced the money into it, and said, "What if this is done right?" A few of you are upset, if you are quarreled with this girl, won't you be even more annoyed? You're sharing their worries, and if they find out, they might reward you! ”

When it comes to money, who doesn't like it?! Hearing Liu Jingcheng say this, the guards felt that there was some truth. Anyway, when you travel with the army, you will prepare some first-aid medicines, and you don't have to break the bank yourself, this money will not be charged in vain! Thinking of this, the guard smiled at Liu Jingcheng and said, "Liu Gongzi, you are really kind-hearted, okay, I'll help you with this!" However, if the above is to blame..."

"It's all my idea, I forced you to go!" Liu Jingcheng hurriedly took over.

"Liu Gongzi is really a cheerful person, okay, I'll help you." A few words were then given to the other guard, and the guard left.

Looking at the back of the guard, Liu Jingcheng sighed secretly, Yuzhen, I can only help you so much...
