Chapter 124: The Land of Sacrifice to the Heavens
Fleur never revealed her true identity to Nayu, but she didn't want to receive an unexpected effect on the rooftop tonight. Na Yu could tell that the person hiding behind the big stone on the east side of the rooftop was actually the Seven Immortal Yuan Dao Leader who had repeatedly helped him, so he no longer hesitated, and according to the direction indicated by Furong, he helped Li Shu up, and quickly hid in the Xuanyuan Cave.
About half an hour later, Jiang Zhongshi held a torch in his hand and climbed onto the roof with Lai Xing'er.
"General, I have been in Songtai Village for less than a month, but I have heard people in the village say more than once that this was originally the place where Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor worshiped heaven and earth. Ordinary people are never allowed to set foot here. You say, the prince will come here? Jiang Zhong Shibian held a torch high and scanned everything on the rooftop with his eyes, and asked Lai Xing'er suspiciously.
As soon as he spoke, Furong who was hiding behind the big stone and Li Shuju, the king of Ying who hid in the Xuanyuan Cave with Nayu, were taken aback. Fleur said in her heart: I haven't seen you for a few days, how could this stubborn and stubborn boy join the official army? But Li Shu secretly wondered: Listening to this person's tone, what he said about the prince clearly refers to himself, could it be that this person is his subordinate?
Immediately afterwards, Lai Xing'er's answer was even more unexpected by everyone.
"They know that going down the mountain will be a dead end, and if they don't flee here, where will they go? I think they must be hiding in a corner of this rooftop now, so they are not allowed to eavesdrop on us. ”
"General, if it really looks like what you said, then they will be unlucky. I've heard people in the village say that there is nothing on this rooftop except for a Xuanyuan cave. To see if they have escaped here, you only need to search the Xuanyuan Cave. Jiang Zhongshi said, holding a torch in his hand and walking in the direction of Xuanyuan Cave.
"Ouch, ouch".
Jiang Zhongshi was still a dozen steps away from the entrance of Xuanyuan Cave, and suddenly heard a woman's moan from the cave. He turned around excitedly and rushed to Xing'er and shouted, "General, I really obeyed you." There's someone in this hole! ”
Lai Xing'er heard a woman's voice coming from the Xuanyuan Cave, and she didn't have time to tell whether it was Nayu's voice or not, so Qingjian followed.
"What kind of person is so rude, without even saying hello, he broke into the rooftop and disturbed the poor road Qing Xiu?"
With this question, Fleur dodged in time and turned out from behind the boulder on the east side of the rooftop.
Lai Xing'er and Jiangzhong Shi didn't expect that in addition to the Xuanyuan Cave not far away, there were still people on this empty rooftop!
"Fairy Gu, is that you?"
Jiang Zhongshi was pestered by Furong not long ago to ask him to go up the mountain with her to be her alchemy guard, and his memory of her voice is still fresh. At the same time, Lai Xing'er also felt that this voice was very familiar, but he couldn't immediately recognize it as Furong's voice like Jiang Zhongshi.
"Yes, it's the poor road." Furong knew that there was no way to hide, although she took the initiative to walk out from behind the boulder and appeared, she still deliberately only turned sideways to the two of them, so that the other party could not see her face clearly, "You kid, a few days ago, you refused to go up the mountain with the poor road to alchemy, why did you suddenly change your hexagram tonight, and you came uninvited?" ”
"Who is in this cave?" Lai Xing'er didn't wait for Jiang Zhongshi to answer, and asked Furong first.
Furong was deeply trusted by Empress Zhang, and entrusted her with the control of hundreds of eyeliners sent to various parts of the palace, and she had her own unusual skills. Among them, being able to recite and remember is something that most people can't achieve. Lai Xing'er came to the rooftop, and as soon as he opened his mouth to speak, Furong recognized him by his voice, and at this time, seeing that he was not disturbed by his own words, he was still eager to search for Li Shu and Nayu, so he simply called him by his name: "Xing'er, can't you even hear my sister's voice?" ”
When Lai Xing'er heard this, her heart shook suddenly: when she was in Chang'an, except for Jinping who occasionally called her sister when she joked with herself, only Furong called herself a sister in front of him. Could it be that this Taoist priest on the other side turned out to be Hibiscus? He remembered that before he entered the palace, he was taken to a Taoist temple by Luo San'er sneaking into the courtyard of the stable, and the last time he saw Furong, Furong was also dressed in Taoist costume, and couldn't help but shout: "You are Sister Furong?" ”
Furong moved a few steps forward, turned around, and faced Lai Xing'er and Jiang Zhongshi, and responded with a smile: "Even if I didn't see the wrong person, I really remember my sister." ”
Lai Xing'er sank her face and sneered: "How could I not remember my sister?" Sister makes a good plan! The one who killed Xie Laocheng in front of the tomb of his mother in Tiantai Mountain was his sister's subordinates, right? ”
Furong didn't expect that Lai Xing'er would be so concerned about Xie Laocheng's death, as soon as she recognized herself, she asked about it in a split face, and was slightly embarrassed, so she had to explain to Lai Xing'er: "Yes, Xie Lao'er is the person who took the initiative to take refuge in Niangniang many years ago, but he has always been at both ends of the rat, his words and deeds are inconsistent, I sent someone to get rid of him, but also to tell you that you don't have to believe too much in what he said to you in the Jiucheng Palace." I think back then, if it weren't for Li Jinzhong's selfish old gelding dog who deliberately went back to the idle stable to pick you up and sneak into the East Palace Prince's side, how could your mother worry that you would be coerced and commit suicide? My sister did this to make you understand that the real murderer of your mother is Li Jinzhong, so that you don't have to be deceived by him again. ”
She judged the situation and understood that at this time, among the three people on the rooftop, she was the only one alone, and she would not have any martial arts, and she was the weakest party. Both Lai Xing'er and Na Yu have some friendship with her, so the strategy adopted by Furong is to try to impress Lai Xing'er with words, so that he will not turn against him, and at the same time, try to delay as much as possible to prevent Na Yu from coming out of the cave prematurely, so as not to be discovered by Lai Xing'er that Li Shu is hiding in the Xuanyuan Cave.
Although Lai Xing'er didn't have insight into all of Furong's thoughts, he never forgot to chase Li Shu. While Furong Wu was babbling to explain to herself, Lai Xing'er quietly poked Jiang Zhongshi beside him with her finger, signaling him to find out the person hiding in the Xuanyuan Cave.
Jiang Zhongshi understood and was about to step into the cave, but Nayu in the cave took the initiative to come out, pretending to be injured, touching his back with his hand, and moaning softly. It turned out that she heard Jiang Zhongshi coming to the rooftop in the cave, and mentioned that there was a Xuanyuan cave on the rooftop, so she knew that she and Li Shu would be discovered sooner or later.
Jiang Zhongshi didn't recognize Nayu, and suddenly saw someone in the cave come out, holding up the torch in his hand to shine, still a young and beautiful female Taoist, he couldn't help but be stupid again, turned around and smiled at Lai Xing'er: "General, look, there is a fairy girl in this cave." ”
Na Yusheng was afraid that Xing'er would recognize him, in that case, Li Shu in the cave was afraid that he would not be able to hide, so he took advantage of Jiang Zhongshi's efforts to turn around, took a few steps forward, flew up, kicked the torch in Jiang Zhongshi's hand, flew straight out of two or three zhang away, and fell to the ground with a bang and extinguished it.
The rooftop was suddenly plunged into darkness. (To be continued.) )
