Volume 5 A Thousand Miles of Smoke and Waves No Return Period 171 Looking back, it has always been bleak

Yun Gui was frightened, asked the three of them to wait in the room, and said: "If there is something on the island, the divine arrow will activate the defensive type, and it may shoot all the people who walk, so it is best not to walk around." He hurried away.

A few people went out of the courtyard gate to look, only to see that the fire on the main island was getting bigger and bigger, and it was as bright as day.

Zhu Mo exclaimed: "With such a big fire, it seems that the house is all burning." ”

Yuqi said worriedly: "With the strength of the Hua family, no one should dare to move." I don't know how. ”

The way of Chun: "This fire came strangely, we just got on the island and caught fire, I don't know if there is anything to do with the matter of Quezhuang." ”

Yuqi's face became more and more solemn, and Zhu Mo said, "Go back to the house and have a cup of tea, it's useless to be anxious." I don't want to be pierced by some of their arrows. ”

The three of them sat down in the house. Yuqi said: "If the main island is captured, there will be problems here soon. ”

Zhu Mo snorted, took out a delicate small cage from his sleeve, opened the cage door, and released an extremely small wooden chick.

"What is this?"

"I invented the general unmanned chicken. ”

Looking at the little chicken, he really held his head high, the cockscomb was towering, very vigorous, and he had the demeanor of a general.

Even though Yuqi was worried, she was amused: "What is the purpose of this thing?"

Zhu Mo took out a talisman, pasted it on the back of the wooden chicken, took out a pen and paper, and drew it on the paper. The little wooden chick clucked twice and ran up on the table.

With a twist of Zhu Mo's brushstroke, the tip of the pen flicked upward, and an upward line was dragged out on the paper, and Zhu Mo drew an arrow at the upper end.

"What is this doing?"

Zhu Mo smiled and said, "Don't be impatient, wait and see." ”

The little wooden chicken clucked twice, shook its wings, flapped its wings upward, and actually rushed to the ceiling.

Zhu Mo drew on the paper again, the arrow pointed to the left, and the little chick rushed straight to the left and rushed out of the window.

Yuqi was full of worries, and was also amused by this cute unmanned chicken and smiled again: "The things you make are really interesting." What is this flying general unmanned chicken for?

Zhu Mo said while painting: "There is no one in the belly of this chicken, so it is called an unmanned chicken." I set up a device that connects the eyes of the wooden chicken, and when its eyes see something, the device will turn, and the pen at the end of the device will draw. As he spoke, he drew on the paper, commanded the unmanned chicken to fly around in the air, and after a while, drew a turning arrow to turn the chicken around.

The wooden chicken really flew back, clucked twice, and stopped at Zhu Mo's hand. Zhu Mo uncovered the belly of the chicken and took out a long string of papers.

Yuqi leaned over to look, only to see that the paper was slender and long, there was indeed a painting on the paper, although the brushstrokes were rough and shallow, but the meaning of the painting could be understood, and the fire was really shining in the distance, and there were ten boats approaching around the Lotus Residence, and some heads were scattered on the island, which may be the guests and maids who came out to inquire about the news.

There was a slender figure near the small courtyard where the three of them were.

"I guess the girl was here just now. ”

"Put away your unmanned chicken. ”

After a while, the pretty girl who had left in a hurry came to knock on the door. Seeing that Zhu Mo and Yuqi didn't change into their clothes, they said, "Please come with me." ”

Margie asked, "Where are you going?"

The girl's voice was gentle and gentle: "There is an enemy invasion. The eldest prince ordered to take a few distinguished guests to a safe place to meet. ”

The three of them followed the girl out of the courtyard gate, turned around, and entered a courtyard that looked similar. Passing through the front hall, there is a small lotus pond in the backyard, there is a rockery by the pool, and the girl whispers, "Wait." Stretched out his hand and broke a few times on the rockery, the rockery turned up, turned half a circle, and a hole appeared behind the mountain.

The girl bent down and got in, and Yuqi Zhumo followed, behind the palace of Chunzhi. When entering the cave, he wiped a stone at the entrance of the cave, and his index finger broke a little skin, leaving a little blood.

The girl slapped the stone wall three times, and the door slammed shut again.

The secret passage slopes downwards and is very shady. Zhu Mo walked for a while and asked, "Is this secret passage built in the water?"

The girl was surprised and asked, "Yes." How did Childe know?"

"It was cool and unusually quiet. This silence is only found underwater. ”

"Childe is so smart. The secret passage extends to the bottom of the lotus pond. ”

The wall of the secret passage emitted a faint blue light, and Chunzhi reached out and touched it: "This wall will glow, what kind of tree is it?"

"This is a tree that the eldest prince sent someone to buy from Shaoqing Mansion in Kuizhou. ”

"This tree keeps shining like this?"

The eldest prince said that the locals call this tree the moon tree, and it is always lit at night. ”

Zhu Mo was amazed, and said that he had never seen this kind of tree when he traveled south and north, and this tree was much stronger than an oil lamp.

Yuqi knew that when he said that he was going south and north, he meant that in various ancient tombs, this tree was indeed good instead of the ever-bright lamp. Coughing lightly, he asked cautiously, "Do you know who the enemy is now?"

The girl shook her head: "Miss Yu will see the eldest prince for a while and ask herself, how can we as subordinates know these things." ”

Utsuzhi thought about it and asked, "It seems that I have never heard of the Hua family being attacked. ”

The girl nodded: "Yes, for three hundred years, Mo Shang has never been attacked." ”

"That enemy must be very powerful. ”

The girl stopped answering, and a few more people walked for a while, and the ramp gradually went up and down.

"Going out?"

The girl nodded: "I'll row the three of them to the main island." ”

"Isn't the main island under attack?"

"You'll know when you arrive. ”

After a while, I really arrived at the end of the secret passage, and it was a rockery again. The girl opened the mechanism, and several people went out of the rockery, stepped out of the courtyard door, and walked ten feet, which was the dock.

Chunzhi silently wrote down the fork in the road, closed his eyes and quickly recalled it. Thirst rose in his mouth again.

Zhu Mo praised: "The secret path of the Hua family is really exquisite, and walking underground is much faster than on the ground." ”

"The ground is twisted and turned, and the secret passage is straight. ”

There was no one on the dock, there was a row of small boats, the girl beckoned a few people to get on the boat, Yuqi saw that the main island was still in flames, and her heart was really burning the main building of the Hua family?

The girl rocked the boat seriously, and seeing that her back was slender, it was quite difficult to row the boat to carry three people to the main island, so she picked up the oars and sat down at the back and rowed.

Zhu Mo said: "You give me the oar." ”

The girl turned her head and looked at it, and panicked: "Put down the distinguished guest, the slave and maid dare not work the distinguished guest." ”

Zhu Mo saw that her face was red and her ears were red, and she was very cute, and couldn't help laughing: "Why don't you dare to do this? You are a woman, how can we men sit and shake by you? Come on, come on, me and Brother Chunzhi will shake it." It's okay, no one knows. I'll pay you back when someone has someone. ”

The girl obediently handed the pulp to Zhu Mo, and Zhu Mo asked while scratching, "Hey, the monthly money given by the Hua family is very high, right?"

The girl smiled: "Zhu Gongzi is really like Hu Shang this time." It's much higher than other people's homes. ”

There were no other boats on the water, and the girl commanded the two to row the boat slowly to the right, and the main island was getting closer and closer, and several people saw the situation on the main island clearly, and sure enough, the main building was burned. The island is not noisy, and the firefighting work is proceeding in an orderly manner.

The girl was obviously surprised, and took the boat, and rowed silently around the boat to the right side of the main island.

On the right is the itchy forest where Usuzhi, Ah Hui, and Uncle Dumb came. The forest is very large, full of monkey thorns and trees, densely packed. By the light of the fire, you can see the lilac and pink flowers blooming on the trees, clustered together, bright as clouds. The branches are very smooth and have no bark.

Yuqi asked, "Is this the legendary monkey thorn?"

The girl nodded: "The Jade Lady is really well-informed." ”

A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he said in his heart: It is really very ingenious to set up a secret passage here.

Yuqi also thought of it at the same time, and asked, "Is there a secret path in this forest?"

The girl was very surprised: "How did the Jade Lady find out?"

Zhu Mo asked almost at the same time, puzzled, "How do you know?"
