Chapter Seventy-Five: Martyrdom (Two Watches Seeking a Guaranteed Monthly Pass)
Dengfeng City.
Jin Chengwu She Yi appeared in Dengfeng City half an hour later. After a while, several officials arrived in a hurry, and after arriving, they told Jin Chengwu and She Yi in detail about the current situation of Shaolin Temple.
The news of Bao En's death has reached Bianjing, and the imperial court decided to send relevant personnel to Dengfeng to investigate, and it is said that Cai Jing, the left minister, was extremely angry. An order was given to investigate the matter thoroughly and bring the murderer to justice. The official also expressed his anger and chattered about the tragic incident the night before......
Repay the grace in Dengfeng is the entire Great Song Dynasty, are quite famous, proficient in Buddhism, philanthropic and charitable, whether it is a high-ranking official of the imperial court, or an ordinary commoner, as long as you encounter ghosts and superstitions, please repay the favor, and repay the favor will help.
Therefore, the assassination of Bao'en had a great repercussion......
"My lord, where is the bamboo forest in Dengfeng blooming?"
She Yi interrupted the official's chatter and asked calmly.
The official looked at She Yi, and saw that although She Yi was dressed ordinarily, he had fair skin and a dignified appearance, Jin Chengwu and the two guards stood on either side of him, and guessed in his heart that She Yi should not be an ordinary person, so he replied respectfully.
"Childe, there are not many of us in the Dengfeng Bamboo Forest, only a handful. But if it's a flowering bamboo, Xia Guan really doesn't know. Hey, Xia Guan remembered that there is a deep valley called Pixiu Valley behind Shaomu Mountain, and there seem to be some bamboo forests in the deep valley. Because there are often fierce beasts there, few people enter it. A while ago, I heard that the bamboo there was blooming. ”
"Pixiu Valley?"
She Yi frowned, the name of this valley had a bit of a fierce beast flavor.
Jin Chengwu looked at She Yi and waited for She Yi to make a decision.
"Childe, there are really fierce beasts in that valley, some people have seen the tigers in the valley with their own eyes, and some people have even injured their surnames. The magistrate had sent officers and soldiers to hunt those fierce beasts, but these fierce beasts were too powerful......"
The official then went on and on......
She Yi turned to leave, and the official stopped this time...... After Jin Chengwu explained a few words to the official, he and the two guards hurriedly followed......
"Jia Gongzi, I have already explained to them, the city gate of Dengfeng and several checkpoints are all arranged with officers and soldiers, and once there is news from the county lord, they will report it at any time. Are we going to Pixiu Valley now? ”
"Hmm. Eat first, and then go into the mountains to see ......"
……
Songshan, Pixiu Valley.
Zhao Wanqi constantly tries various ways to climb the mountain...... After most of the day's attempts, she was exhausted, but she finally got the hang of it, and took a break to fight for the next time, climbing the steep slope in one go.
……
Half an hour later, outside Dengfeng City, west, southwest of Songshan Mountain, at the entrance of Pixiu Valley, She Yi and Jin Chengwu entered the mountain along the rugged mountain road......
This is a forest with dense trees, and although it is winter, many hardwood trees have lost their leaves, but it is still difficult to walk.
This mountain road is actually equivalent to no road, and the four people step on the thick leaves and walk towards the depths of the Pixiu Valley. She Yi's physical strength was exhausted, and after walking for less than an hour, he was a little tired.
Shook his head helplessly, this body has recovered for more than half a year, and it is still a little weak...... I don't usually feel it, but now when I climb the mountain, it is revealed.
It seems that after going back this time, I still continue to exercise, and the martial arts handed over to Ruo Ruo have to be practiced by the way. The body is the capital of the revolution,
Jin Chengwu asked She Yi if he wanted to help, and She Yi shook his head......
Several people continued to walk forward......
In the blink of an eye, it was evening.
The red said that the west was sinking, the sky was gray, She Yi and Jin Chengwu were four, and they didn't even see the shadow of the bamboo, let alone the flowering bamboo. She Yi's brows twitched a few times, thinking to herself, could it be that she had made a mistake in judgment......
"Jia Gongzi, the sun is about to set, and it will be dark in a while...... I'm afraid it's harder to find the county lord......"
Kim Sung-woo said worriedly.
In fact, he and the two guards together had the same thoughts in their hearts as She Yi. Wonder if She's in the wrong place? This valley is in the southwest of Songshan, until you go in, it is the depths of Songshan, and the direction to the Shaolin Temple is not related to the wind, cattle and horses, what did the county lord run into this deep valley?
"Well, then, find around here, and see if there are any people walking. I'll go up there and have a look, and if there's a bamboo forest, I'll call you over, and if not, we'll turn back and go back and make plans. ”
She Yi looked ahead, it seemed that behind the small hill in front of him, the terrain was much gentler, and there seemed to be a "V" shaped valley in the middle.
Jin Chengwu nodded.
About a stick of incense time, She Yi finally went up the hillside, the front was really "gentle" a lot, a steep slope more than ten zhang high in front, like a cliff, in the middle of the "V" shape, not a surging peak, nor a deep valley with winding paths, but a dark "canyon" dozens of zhang wide, hazy and hazy can not see clearly. However, right next to him, there was a bamboo, and this bamboo blossomed......
She Yi breathed a sigh of relief, retracted his gaze, and when he looked at the bamboo, he unexpectedly saw that there was a white cloth crumb hanging on a bush of thorns under his feet, bent down to pick it up, frowned, and looked at it carefully, the cloth was new.
There was a happy expression on his face, and if there was no accident, Zhao Wanqi would be below. The woman must have been following the mysterious man and accidentally fell underneath.
It's just, I don't know, ...... still alive?
Jin Chengwu and two guards not far away found traces of a person walking in the grass forest, and judging from the signs, the time did not exceed two or three days.
Jin Chengwu and the two guards looked up at She Yi and waved their hands.
"Jia Gongzi, there are clues here!"
She Yi stood on the edge of the cliff, and after hearing the sound, he turned his head and waved his hand with the rag in his hand.
"The county lord is down there, you come here......"
"Ah...... Seriously! ”
……
On the "cliff", Zhao Wanqi used her strength to break a protruding stone on the "cliff", and she really had no strength. Falling too many times, his white clothes were stained with dirt, leaves, and branches, and he was lying on the ground as if he was wearing a color-changing suit. I can't tell if it's dirt or her......
At this moment, I suddenly heard a shout, which seemed to be somewhat familiar...... It was actually Ah Wu's voice, and there was also a sound on the edge of the cliff directly above...... It should be Ah Wu who brought someone to look for her...... She breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, I heard the man above say: The county lord is also below.
She was shocked, this voice was also familiar, could it be She Yi...... Her heart was racing, her throat was dry, and she didn't have the strength to scream. Taking a deep breath and exerting the last of his strength, he climbed upwards twice in a row, then threw his left hand up and broke the edge of the "cliff".
She took another deep breath, ready to poke her head up, and grabbed her hand as if she had grabbed She Yi's calf............
……
She Yi stood with his back to the "cliff", and was caught off guard by a cold hand grasping his calf...... One of the spirits retracted his feet, but he was caught too tightly, and the other fell down with his back to the sky......
"Your sister......
Zhao Wanqi's hoarse throat couldn't scream, but she roared in her heart...... She grabbed She Yi's leg, and when She Yi fell on her back, she fell with it......
"Ah...... Zhao-Wan-Qi!!! ”
The moment She Yi fell, he saw that the person who grabbed his leg was actually Zhao Wanqi, and he roared......
……
"Knock...... Knock ......" twice, and the following returned to calm.
……
In less than a moment when Zhao Wanqi and She Yi fell, Jin Chengwu and two guards rushed to the edge of the cliff, gasping for breath. At this time, the sun sets over the mountain, and the night is thick. It's hazy down there, and you can't see anything clearly.
The three of them stared at the dark valley (deep stream) below.
"Commander Jin, Master Jia...... He ......"
One of the guards sighed, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand, and continued.
"Alas, Jia Gongzi is so infatuated that he actually chose martyrdom for the sake of the county lord...... This earth-shattering feat of crying ghosts and gods will become a good story for the ages......"
The other guard sighed as well, but then frowned, a little confused.
"Commander Jin, Jia Gongzi, will you really die?"
Takeshi Kaneshiro raised his eyebrows, pondered for a moment, and burst out a sentence in the middle of a sound.
"It's so easy to die, at most seriously injured...... Your reputation as a popular lady is blown! ”
"yes......"
"Prepare the rope, go down and see ......"
