By the third day, there was still no sign of an enemy attack.

Even if the first wave of sneak attacks was a temptation, after so many days, it was time to act. But the surroundings of the Horseshoe Temple were quiet as usual.

When things go wrong, there must be demons.

Although Invite Yu couldn't think of the other party's intentions, she didn't plan to sit still.

"Zimo," Yu said, "You go to Zhangye City to inquire and see if there are any people who have behaved abnormally recently." I always felt that something was wrong. ”

Zimo also sensed that something was wrong, so he nodded and said, "Okay." Be careful yourself, I'll go back as soon as I go. ”

It was only Zimo who jumped off the cliff, and a Beiliang soldier shouted and came to the Horseshoe Temple, "Report-"

The soldier ran up the cliff in one breath, knelt in front of the King of Beiliang and said, "Great King...... Oh no...... We're surrounded......"

Frustrated Qu Mengxun frowned, "Encircled? There isn't even a ghost shadow around here, who is it surrounded by? ”

The soldier took a deep breath before he said, "This morning, the quartermaster saw that there was not much food left in the temple, so he planned to take his subordinates and others to Zhangye City to transfer food. Unexpectedly, our team just walked to the periphery of the horseshoe temple, and was inexplicably attacked, a team of people, only one of them survived because of the escort car at the end of the team! ”

"You are just attacked by the enemy, how can you call you surrounded?" Do you know that shaking the morale of the military is to be dealt with by military law! ”

"Subordinates don't dare to talk nonsense!" Xiao Bing hurriedly explained, "My subordinates were paralyzed by fright at that time, and they couldn't get up from sitting on the ground. Then I saw a hare running out, and it was cut in half in an instant! The subordinates swore that there was only one person around at that time, and they didn't see anyone else at all. ”

At this time, the soldier took out a branch from his arms and motioned to look at the tip of the branch.

The branch looked as if it had been cut off by something, leaving a clean cut at the tip.

The subordinate thought it was strange, so he walked to the side and stretched out the branch with this branch, and the branch was cut like this in an instant. Only then did the subordinates realize that we were surrounded, so they hurried back to report it! ”

Invite Yu came over at this time, took the branch from the soldier's hand and looked at it carefully. Whatever it's cut with, at least you know it's sharp.

Invite Yu handed the branch back to the creep, "You're doing a good job." It's rare to think about verifying something when something happens. She turned to King Beiliang and said, "Your Highness stays in the temple and doesn't go out, and the palace will go to investigate with Zimo first." ”

After inviting the rain, he walked outside the hall, jumped down, and pulled Zimo in the direction described by Xiao Bing.

After walking for a cup of tea, they saw the corpse.

Invite Yu did not rush closer, but carefully observed the surroundings. Because of the distance, it is difficult to tell exactly where the fatal wound is.

But the carcass of the hare, cut in half, is obvious.

"It's not like an axe wound." Zimo frowned.

Invite Yu nodded, "It seems that if you don't try it, it's hard to know." She said and walked on.

Zimo grabbed her, "You are in the back, protect me with a nine-section whip, so that you can see more clearly." ”

Invite Yu smiled, knowing that this was Zimo's "worry about illness" again, "You don't have the qi to protect your body, so it's better for me to go." ”

Zimo swept his eyes, turned over and jumped and grabbed a hare in his hand, and then threw the rabbit out without hesitation.

With a humming sound similar to a bowstring, the hare was cut in half in the air.

The moment Tan Yuyu heard the voice, he made a move, turning the dragon and whipping towards the void. When it can be retracted, a very thin iron wire is already wrapped around the whip.

This is the first time that Invite Yu has combined the nine dragon whips into one, and the whip body makes a piercing grinding sound under the entanglement of the iron wire, as if he is trying to break free from the dragon whip.

Invite Yu looked along the iron wire and found that both ends of it were buried in the ground. It seems that some kind of mechanism can pull the wire out and then retract it.

"So delicate. It's a pity to use it to kill rabbits! Invite Yu said, dragging the iron line and retreating quickly.

As soon as the wire was opened, it was easy for her to pull, apparently there was still a surplus of iron wire in the mechanism. When retreating twenty paces away, the wire was stuck and could no longer be pulled.

Tan invited the rain to exert force in his hand and drank, "Come out!" ”

The clods of soil on the ground flew, and Tan Yuyu pulled out the two trap boxes buried in the ground!

Zimo has been on guard beside him, and the moment the trap box was pulled out of the ground, the grass in the distance seemed to move, and Zimo did not hesitate, and a feather arrow shot over!

But there was no movement behind the grass, as if Zimo had shot into the air.

Looking at the death of those soldiers transporting food, there must be more than one iron wire mechanism in this vicinity.

Invite Yu blamed himself a little, "In the end, I am inexperienced. I just thought about setting up a formation to defend the city in the Horseshoe Temple, but I forgot that people could still use the trick of besieging and killing. ”

She looked at the iron wire on the nine-section whip, "I can choose to besiege but not attack, and I have laid such a powerful trap, obviously it can't be done by one family." ”

Invite Yu and Zimo thought of the Zoroastrian bamboo slip at the same time. If it is not bad, the forces that all parties want to compete for the jade seal must have been united by Zoroastrianism on some terms.

It's just that how could they choose to besiege and not attack?

Invite Yu was puzzled, "This is the hinterland of Beiliang, they are so surrounded by the Horseshoe Temple, sooner or later they will be discovered." When the time comes, the Beiliang army will attack from behind, and these people will not be able to survive. Such a simple thing, Zoroastrians would not be unexpected......"

Zimo looked around, there was a possibility that there were enemies hidden behind every bush, shrub, and dirt slope here, and he said coldly, "Unless they just want to hold us back for a while......"

"Why?" Invite Yu still couldn't figure it out, "No matter how long they delay, it's impossible for me to hand over the jade seal." ”

Zimo said, "Then their purpose should not be the jade seal." ”

Invite Yu woke up immediately when she heard this, indeed, she was blind. Although the jade seal is precious, it does not mean that it is the only thing that can be plotted.

What is it? Will it be more important than the jade seal? Let these sects and clans willingly obey the command of Zoroastrianism?

Zimo leaned over and tied the two trap boxes with iron wires and picked them up, "Let's go, let's go and take a look elsewhere." Iron wire is not so easy to build. It is impossible for them to use such a mechanism to encircle the horseshoe temple. ”

Invite Yu also thought so, "Be careful not to break it, this thing can be taken back to He Lu for research and study." ”

The two of them didn't care how many pairs of eyes were still staring around, and turned to go in the opposite direction.

When they walked to the west side, about the same distance from the Horseshoe Temple, a rain of arrows stopped the footsteps of Ying Yu and Zimo.

There are many big trees in this vicinity that can hide people, and they will hide from them with some effort, and it is easy to hide. Invite Yu saw something reflecting the light between the blades of grass in the distance, and estimated that there was some trap set there.

"Let's go," Invite Yu ignored the people on the tree, "Go back and ask King Beiliang, he may have any clues." ”
