Chapter 125: The Soul Scatters
The incident was in a hurry, and Lai Xing'er, Jiang Zhongshi, including Furong, did not expect Nayu to suddenly make a move and extinguish the fire. Lai Xing'er reacted quite quickly, and when he saw that the torch in Jiang Zhongshi's hand was kicked away by the person who came out of the cave, he didn't hesitate at all, stepped forward, and forced Furong, who was closer to him, to use his sword tightly, and asked loudly: "Tell your subordinates not to act rashly, otherwise, you won't show mercy to your sister under the sword." He thought that when Fang Cai and Jiang Zhongshi were about to approach the Xuanyuan Cave to investigate, Furong took the initiative to appear from behind the big stone and walked out, and naturally thought that Furong and the people hiding in the cave were in a group.
Although Furong is resourceful and known for her ruthlessness, she rarely goes out in person, and after fighting and fighting, she was put between her throat by Lai Xing'er with a cold sword, only to feel the cold and pressing, and couldn't help but be a little timid, and hurriedly shouted at Nayu: "Good sister, listen to my brother, stand there and don't move, you have injuries on your body, you have to be careful." ”
She said this very tactfully, not only hinting to Lai Xing'er that Na Yu was the only one in the cave, but also intentionally pointing out the weakness of Na Yu's injuries to Lai Xing'er.
Jiang Zhongshi was a little negligent, and he was attacked by Na Yu, and the torch in his hand was kicked and extinguished, where was he willing to suffer such a big loss in vain, just when Lai Xing'er forced Furong with his sword, he looked at the position where Na Yu was standing, and pounced on it regardless of the ground, stretched out his two arms as thick as a shaft, and hugged Na Yu tightly. Na Yu's back injury had not yet healed, and the kick that had just kicked the torch in Jiang Zhongshi's hand was too strong, pulling the tendons in her back, and she trembled in pain, and before she could stand firm in place, Jiang Zhongshi pounced like a tiger coming down the mountain, using the moves he had been fighting with fierce beasts for many years, and firmly clamped Na Yu's tongs in his arms, so that she couldn't move at all.
Even if he was his daughter, he was held in the arms of a strange man in Jiang Zhongshi, in order not to make Lai Xing'er recognize him, Na Yuqiang held back the anger in his chest and still didn't say a word.
The situation on the rooftop has completely fallen into the control of Lai Xing'er and Jiang Zhongshi, but this is not the result that Lai Xing'er wants.
"Sister, are you on this rooftop day until dark? Have you ever seen a man here? ”
Furong heard that Xing'er still called herself a sister, so she relaxed a little, held her breath, pointed at Jiang Zhongshi and Nayu with her fingers, and rushed to Xing'er in a half-command and half-request tone: "If you really recognize my sister's words, first ask that stunned boy to let go of my junior sister." We, as sisters, are monastic and should not be subjected to such humiliation for no reason. When you two came up, I was sitting behind the big rock for evening class, but I didn't notice if there were any men on the top of the mountain. ”
Lai Xing'er saw that Jiang Zhongshi firmly held a female Taoist priest in his arms, so he instructed him: "You free your hands and tie her hands and feet first, you don't have to be like this all the time." ”
didn't think about it, Jiang Zhongshi, who had been disobeying Lai Xing'er's orders since the two met, refused Lai Xing'er's order: "General, this Taoist priest is really a thief." I'm afraid that as soon as I let go, I'm going to have her way again. ”
When Jiang Zhongshi faced the tiger and rhinoceros, he had never been as careful as he was now, presumably it was Fang Cai's kick that made him palpitate, and he didn't dare to be sloppy and careless. Thinking like this, Lai Xing'er withdrew the long sword against Furong's throat, and wanted to walk over and help Jiang Zhongshi tie up Nayu together.
Furong mistakenly thought that Lai Xing'er was going to enter the Xuanyuan Cave to search in person. More than two months ago, she used the trick of transferring flowers and trees to kill the concubine's mother and daughter, although it is not said that the incident happened for no reason, but after all, she had a sense of guilt for the concubine's mother and daughter, and subconsciously did not want the concubine's only son, Yingwang Li Shu, to be caught by Lai Xing'er again, escorted back to the barracks, and ended up in a different place. So, as if he had suddenly come to his senses, he exclaimed, "Oh, I remembered. At dusk, I did see a man and a woman in the vicinity."
Lai Xing'er was really attracted by her words, stopped, turned around and looked at Furong, waiting for her to continue.
Furong didn't hurry to say it, but asked Lai Xing'er with a smile: "I haven't had time to ask you, brother, what are you and the stunned boy going to do when you break into my alchemy rooftop in the dark?" ”
On the way back to Chang'an from Luo, Lai Xing'er had roughly guessed the truth about the collusion between the concubine and Furong from the conversation with Nayu. Although he has always had an attitude of calming things and not wanting to get involved in the whirlpool of infighting in the palace and the court, he has to be wary of Furong because of the current situation.
"It's true that the younger brother was negligent and forgot to tell his sister. At present, a court dignitary escaped from the Lingdu Temple halfway up the mountainside, and the younger brother, as a lieutenant colonel in the army, was about to arrest him and return to the barracks. Lai Xing'er deliberately avoided saying the identity and name of the culprit to be arrested.
"I see." While talking to Lai Xing'er, Furong deliberately moved her steps to lead Lai Xing'er farther away, intending to create an opportunity for Nayu to deal with Jiang Zhongshi alone. "I don't know if brother, you are so eager to arrest that criminal day and night, in order to ask for merit and reward him with his head, or is there something else?"
She herself is an important criminal of the imperial court, and for this reason, this seemingly completely superfluous question sounded to Lai Xing'er, as if Furong was using this to test whether he was hostile to him, not only did she not feel abrupt, but she took it seriously before she replied: "As a lieutenant colonel and lieutenant of the imperial court, it is the duty of a brother to take the imperial court's important criminals, not just to ask for merit and be rewarded. What's more, if this person was caught by the imperial court earlier, the people in this area would be able to live a stable life one day earlier, and be less affected by the disasters of war. Speaking of this, for some reason, Lai Xing'er actually remembered the Ding Laoshi family who were killed by his own sergeants, and his nose was slightly sour.
"It's good not to be rewarded for merit, it's good not to be rewarded for merit," Fleur kept repeating the same sentence as if she was thinking about something.
Seeing that Furong still refused to tell the whereabouts of the man and woman, and intentionally or unintentionally led himself to the other side of the rooftop, Lai Xing'er couldn't help but feel vigilant in his heart, and was about to leave Furong ignore it, turn around, and hear Furong shout steeply at the female Taoist priest in the arms of the stone in the middle of the river: "Na sister, the poor road is going to be offended." Your Royal Highness King Ying, the cave is very damp, you should come out of the cave to meet my brother. ”
As soon as these words came out of Furong's mouth, Lai Xing'er's first reaction was that Qingjian turned around and rushed towards the entrance of Xuanyuan Cave.
"Come to Xing'er, don't hurt my lord." Na Yu was annoyed that Furong suddenly bit back without warning in advance, and directly found out to Lai Xing'er that there was still Li Shu, the king of Ying, in the cave, and it was difficult to keep silent in a hurry, and shouted to Lai Xing'er in a hiss.
However, what made Na Yu even more annoyed was that Lai Xing'er turned a deaf ear to her shouting, took three steps and two steps, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed to the entrance of the Xuanyuan Cave, pointed at the cave with a long sword, and ordered in a mocking voice: "His Royal Highness King Ying, this morning in Songtai Village, Ding Honest's house, you didn't admit yourself, and at night, how did you become a turtle with a shrunken head, so you couldn't bear to watch Na Yu cover your gun and block arrows for you, and hide alone in the cave like a mouse and refuse to come out?" Don't get out of here, hesitate any longer, don't blame me for being rude. ”
"The general's subordinates are merciful, and the general's subordinates are merciful."
Before Lai Xing'er's words fell, a series of begging for mercy came from Li Shu's busy voice in the cave. Immediately afterwards, I saw him crawling out of the hole in embarrassment, and he didn't even dare to stand up, but crawled directly at Lai Xing'er's feet, crying bitterly.
After suffering all kinds of frightes and tortures in the past day, at this time, this once invincible marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, the prince and the prince, finally lowered his noble head and completely collapsed. (To be continued.) )
