Chapter 44: Maitreya's Suspicions

As soon as Liu Hao entered the door, Doudou threw himself into his arms and cried: "Snake! Lots of snakes! ”

Liu Hao looked up and saw that from the back door, there were spotted snakes crawling out of the back door, all of them spitting red and bright snake letters, Liu Hao's scalp was numb for a while, he was most afraid of this thing in his previous life, and he always had nightmares every time he saw snakes when he was a child. Liu Hao patted Doudou's back and asked her, "What about your Qianniuwei?" ”

Doudou whimpered and couldn't speak, and Baguio on the side frowned and said: "There are two people who went out to chase those poisonous snakes, and another one has been poisoned by snakes, and they are lying in the corner over there, and they can't be saved now." ”

Liu Hao looked in the direction pointed by Baguio, and sure enough, in the corner where the snakes were intertwined, the figure of a thousand cows was faintly visible, if it weren't for the occasional twitching of his body, he really couldn't find it. Liu Hao was puzzled that it was only a few steps away from the door, how could these stupid girls scream stupidly?

Liu Hao was about to go out with them, but Baguio said repeatedly: "Don't! As soon as you get out, these snakes will attack! ”

Is it so evil? Liu Hao tried to take a few steps to the door, and these snakes immediately surrounded him. Liu Hao was taken aback, I'm damn! Is this Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing being naughty? How did this thing become a good thing?

Yan Zhenqing and the others came in to take a look, and couldn't help laughing: "It's just a few small long worms, look at what scares you." "As he spoke, he was about to come in. Liu Hao hurriedly shouted at them: "Don't come in, this thing doesn't let people out, it's very evil, go to the carriage outside and grab a few jars of wine and throw it in." ”

When several birdmen heard Liu Hao's words, they didn't seem to be joking, and quickly stopped at the door. After a while, Liu San hugged the wine, and Liu Hao shouted at them: "Prepare the torch!" Later, we will throw the jar into the snake pile, and when it is burned, we will rush out. ”

Gao Shi asked curiously: "Can wine catch fire?" It doesn't really matter. ”

Du Fu smiled: "Brother Gao, don't worry, the wine made by Zhicai can catch fire in the water, and the end is magical." ”

Xiao Shiyi Lang and Liu San took two jars of wine and threw them into the corner, and after the wine jar was broken, an attractive aroma of wine came out. Liu Hao saw that those birdmen were actually snorting, damn! When is this all gone!

Yan Zhenqing held the torch and threw it into the corner, and suddenly one by one the fire dragons burned along the place where the wine flowed, and the group of snakes fled in all directions under the high temperature, and many snakes were covered with flames, making an ugly hissing sound. Liu Hao took advantage of this opportunity and rushed out with a group of women in his arms, and a few snakes were cut into meat sauce by Liu San and them as soon as they came out.

Gao Shi looked at the corpse of the snake seriously, frowned and said: "These are all highly poisonous things, and I don't know who actually has such a vicious mind, and it is hateful!" ”

Hearing him say this, everyone hurriedly scattered to kill the escaped poisonous snake, this thing can't be kept, in case someone is bitten, a life will be lost.

As soon as Baguio went out, he hurriedly asked, "Is there any room left?" ”

"There is a living mouth, Liu San, go and bring it over!" There are a few seriously injured people in black who are specially left by Liu Hao, since the woman who dares to kill him, then wait to bear Liu Hao's revenge.

Baguio was frightened by this, and she was already furious, and at this time, the empress's demeanor was fully displayed: "The slave family wants to see, who is so bold that he actually gathered a hundred people to assassinate the royal people on the outskirts of Luoyang City, Jin Wuwei and Yulin Army are not able to set it up?" ”

At this time, Liu San stumbled over: "Young master! Oh no, those people have been rescued, and the bodies have been dragged away a lot! ”

Depend on! Is this hide-and-seek? Even the corpse is trying to drag it away, are you afraid that there will be any evidence left? Without waiting for Liu Hao to speak, Baguio said: "Hurry up and find a corpse to see if there are any tattoos or something, I'm afraid there will be no one if it's too late." ”

After listening to Baguio's words, Gao Shi, Du Fu, and Yan Zhenqing all carried knives and hurriedly ran over with Liu San. Liu Hao and Baguio also walked over there with a group of women, staying in case they were bitten by a poisonous snake, the joke would be too big.

Doudou is still snuggled in Liu Hao's arms, this girl has been dressed and fed since she was a child, how can she ever see this kind of scene, she is obviously scared stupid.

By the time they got closer, several corpses had been stripped of their clothes. Gao Shi said to Liu Hao: "These people all have Maitreya Buddha tattooed on their chests, I think it should be done by Maitreya." Earlier, I had also encountered these people committing murder, and they were extremely ruthless, and fighting with people was always about exchanging lives for life, and the group of people just now may be the new people they cultivated, otherwise they would not have been sent away so easily. ”

"Oh? Brother Zhongwu has fought with them? Yan Zhenqing asked curiously.

Gao Shi nodded, his eyes were full of hatred: "A certain family was originally from Jingxian County, Hebei, just because Maitreya was rampant there, and later moved to Suiyang, Songzhou, three years ago, a certain took his younger brother back to his hometown to go to the grave of his ancestors, and he didn't want to encounter a group of Maitreya believers who committed murder, and his younger brother was not skilled in equestrianism, and was killed by them. ”

I can't imagine that Gao Shi has such an encounter, no wonder although he is a literary hero in history, he likes to be a chivalrous man the most, and he has been pursuing a chivalrous demeanor of chivalry and righteousness and sword in the world all his life. Once, in order to live a killing addiction, he went to the northern border of Jibei alone, ate and lived with a group of soldiers, and experienced the life of the border pass, which was at that time when he established his status as a poet of the border fortress.

Liu Hao didn't know how to comfort him, after all, this kind of thing, any words of comfort seemed pale and weak, and under the silence of everyone, the atmosphere seemed quiet. Baguio said hatefully in Liu Hao's ear: "That Li Longji is really a good emperor, a Maitreya sect that began to make chaos during the Great Sui period, has not been eradicated until now, and it is not soft at all to kill his own people." ”

Liu Hao smiled bitterly, this thing is so easy to eradicate, Maitreya Sect has existed since the Southern Dynasties, has been developing, and finally carried forward in the Song Dynasty, renamed the White Lotus Sect, and has a great impact on the rule of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. He immediately comforted Baguio and said: "There are some things that are not what we think, behind this Maitreya Sect, there should be the shadow of a certain family. ”

Baguio listened to Liu Hao's words, calmed down for a while and said, "Indeed! It's a secret that Doudou came to us, unless a high-ranking official of the court can find out, hum! Now it's time for my cousin to have a headache. ”

Gao Shi was sad for a while, but now he finally stabilized his emotions, and said to Liu Hao with his fists: "Just now, this group of gangsters has been shouting to kill the princess, is there really a princess here?" ”

Yan Zhenqing smiled, pointed to the Doudou in Liu Hao's arms and said, "The beauty in Zhicai's arms is His Majesty's younger sister, Princess Xingyang. ”

When Gao Shi heard this, he immediately knelt down in front of Doudou: "I didn't know that Princess Xingyang was here, and I asked the princess to atone for her sins." ”

When this girl heard this, her eyes finally brightened, and she said sickly: "This strong man, please get up, you have a meritorious role in saving the driver, what is the crime?" ”

Xiao Shiyi Lang grinned: "Since Brother Zhongwu has made a meritorious contribution to saving the driver, I don't know what reward Her Royal Highness the princess has?" ”

Doudou thought for a moment and said, "I asked my imperial brother to make him a first-class general." ”

When Xiao Shiyi Lang heard this, he immediately became anxious: "What about me?" How did the princess reward me? ”

Doudou glanced at him: "I am also a first-class general, I want you to be a servant, but you can't do it." Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Liu Hao patted Doudou's head: "It is said that the ladies are losers, but I didn't expect that you, the princess, are also losers, if you really want to be rewarded like this, I'm afraid that your royal brother should jump to his feet." ”

Everyone laughed again, and Doudou was so ashamed that he was angry. Looking at her cute appearance, Liu Hao was finally relieved, I was really afraid that she would be scared. Thinking of this, Liu Hao made a grateful expression at Xiao Shiyilang's goods, if it weren't for the fork just now, Doudou didn't know if he would be able to recover from the shock.

Just thinking about it, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and I don't know how many horses there were, and I actually felt like a tsunami in the mountains. Everyone hurriedly stood solemnly and surrounded Doudou and them tightly in the middle. Although it feels like it should be an army of the imperial court, it can't be taken lightly.

After a while, I saw the banner of Datang at the intersection, and a large group of cavalry rushed in front, and the bearded man at the head was not Lu Yue's birdman?

When Lu Yue saw everyone, he quickly ordered to stop, jumped off the horse and looked at everyone's injuries to see that everyone's injuries were fine, before running to Doudou and kneeling down on one knee, clasping his fists and saluting: "Captain Lu Yue is late to save the car, please atone for the princess!" The other cavalrymen also hurriedly dismounted and pleaded guilty.

"Get up, you'll all be fine. I knew that it was so unsafe outside Luoyang City, and I wouldn't have said anything about going out of the city. Doudou said in his words, she is a princess, and a few insinuations will give Luoyang's military governor a headache. But this has nothing to do with Lu Yue's goods, and now he is secretly squeezing his eyebrows with Liu Hao.

The arrival of this group of cavalry finally reassured Liu Hao and them, and all those corpses had to be taken away, which was a piece of evidence. Those poisonous snakes were wiped out by the cavalry brought by Lu Yue. The two Qianniuwei of the black-clothed man who went to chase and release the snake were also recovered by the cavalry scouts who searched for the traces of the black-clothed man, but they had turned into two cold corpses.

Ziyang Zhenren and Xiaoyaozi arrived a little later than Lu Yue with a group of Taoist priests, and they were relieved to see that everyone was fine, and several Taoist priests bandaged their wounds and carefully investigated the situation of the poisonous snakes around.

The old guy pinched the corpse of a snake and studied it repeatedly for a long time, sighed and said: "This snake is called a five-step snake, and this kind of large size is only found on an unknown island on Penglai Island. ”

When he and Xiaoyaozi saw the tattoos on those corpses, they couldn't help but gasp: "Why have these remnants resurfaced recently?" Immediately, the old guy glanced at Doudou, sighed and said, "Some people are always too self-righteous. ”
