Chapter 41: It really wasn't him
"You have."
Two words that are extremely simple, and they are said by the mask man very firmly.
Before Tang Ying could react, she was led towards the edge of the jungle by the masked man. It wasn't until he seemed to hear the sound of flowing water that the mask stopped.
Almost at the same moment, the Holy Maiden of Nan Miao descended from the sky.
With her own sloppy laughter and the noisy sound of bells.
"Little guard, you have some skills. You can still run so fast after being poisoned. Nan Miao Holy Maiden said.
Tang Ying, instinctively wanted to protect the masked man behind her. But the other party took the lead, "Beitangchen, what price did you Nanmiao offer?" ”
was still dry and astringent, but at this moment, Tang Ying heard the momentum of the king in these words.
The Holy Maiden of Nan Miao was also stunned, but then she still smiled charmingly, "Hehe, little guard, these are not what you should ask." But it's a bit useful to look at you, so quickly release the princess. Maybe sister, I can really spare your life. ”
"Nan Miao Holy Maiden, are you Nan Miao so short of men?" The words fell, and a touch of plain white came into the eyes of the three people.
Along with it, there were also the four elders of Tianxuan, and a group of Miao people.
"That's better than a thousand-faced Langjun, a toad who wants to eat swan meat - it's better than he can't do it." Nan Miao Holy Maiden said unceremoniously sarcastically.
"The two of you are so compatible, why don't you get married on the spot?" The Masked Man sneered at the two of them.
As soon as he said this, he immediately reaped the fierce eyes of Chu Chen and Nan Miao Holy Maiden.
At first, Tang Ying didn't think so, but looking at the two of them now at the same pace. Even Tang Ying said with a smile, "Don't say that you and Nanmiao Holy Maiden, the first son, really have a bit of a natural appearance." ”
"Tang girl, jokes should be stopped in moderation." The first dust, unhappy.
Then his eyes suddenly cooled, "Who is Your Excellency, why don't you dare to show your true face." Could it be that there is some ulterior secret? ”
Compared with the subtlety of the first dust, the Nanmiao Holy Maiden was much more impatient.
"Thousand-faced Langjun, who he is, what's the matter." Nan Miao Holy Maiden, caressing the bell in her hand, said with a ghostly smile: "Little guard, my sister is giving you one last chance." Leave the princess behind, otherwise, be careful that there are no bones. ”
Nanmiao Holy Maiden is going to use poison?
However, if it is really good to use poison, Tang Ying can resist most poisons by himself. And Lu Zhan's people will not be unprepared if they want to come. It's a pity that Tang Ying's speculation has not been verified, and instead of it, an extremely creacious voice came from the rustle.
Seems......
"Snake!"
Tang Ying looked at the flower snake that appeared out of nowhere, and was so frightened that her soul flew out of the clouds.
You must know that Tang Yingtian is not afraid of the earth, and what he is most afraid of is snakes. Especially the snake that hisses and spits letters......
"Oh my God, it's spitting! It actually spat out letters!! Tang Ying pounced on the masked man in horror. Wrap the masked man tightly with his hands and feet.
Due to the high level of nervousness, Tang Ying did not find out. The masked man is unusually stiff, and the Adam's apple is noticeably slippery.
"Princess Shizi, are you afraid of snakes? So what can we do, the most of our Nanmiao is snakes. Nanmiao Saintess smiled and said, "But the princess, if you stand behind me." Naturally, those snakes won't attack you. Otherwise......"
"No...... Correct...... Yes...... How is it? Tang Ying has long lost her former calmness, and her body trembles like chaff.
"Otherwise, they'll crawl all over your body little by little along your dress. They like to bite people the most, especially beauties like the princess. Nan Miao Holy Maiden smiled more and more proudly.
"Princess, do you believe your subordinates?" Just when Tang Ying was about to be frightened by the other party, that unpleasant voice reappeared.
rescued Tang Ying, who seemed to be in the desert.
"I believe it." Tang Ying, who was sent by the ghost, responded.
Then I felt a gentle and generous voice in my ears, "Don't look, close your eyes." ”
Tang Ying closed her eyes obediently.
Everything fell silent for a moment.
Suddenly, there was a loud "bang" that made Tang Ying have to open her eyes.
This is?
The temperature around her body dropped in an instant, and the flooding water chain made Tang Ying even breathe a little unsmooth. But wave after wave of whirlpools, she had no choice but to struggle.
What Tang Ying didn't expect even more was that the masked man actually pulled her down.
"What do you want to do?" Tang Ying said in horror.
She had now almost confirmed that they must have jumped from above. And this should be a very deep pool.
But it is precisely because of this that they should swim to the shore immediately, not further in.
"Listen to me, they're going to chase us down in no time. Moreover, this pool of water can temporarily make it impossible for Nanmiao Holy Maiden's Golden Gu to track you. The masked man hurriedly explained.
But even so, he didn't force Tang Ying, but waited for the other party's nod.
It seems that as long as Tang Ying doesn't agree, he will never be reluctant.
Seeing this, Tang Ying finally bowed her head, "Okay, listen to you." ”
When the words fell, Tang Ying only felt that someone behind him pushed him hard, and he fell into the biggest whirlpool. A moment of high-speed rotation, and the flood of water.
She completely lost consciousness......
When she waited for Tang Ying to wake up again, it was already moonlight and starry.
Looking at the bright moon hanging in the sky, Tang Ying stretched out her hand to touch it, as if it was a full moon in front of her.
But it was as if his hand did not obey at all, as if he had lost consciousness.
Even, she soon found that not only her right hand, but also her limbs did not react at all.
"I ......"
Tang Ying struggled to get up, but was held down by a gentle force, "You are suffering from the mountain cold and have no internal rest, so it's normal for you to lose your strength for a while." Rest overnight and you'll be relieved. ”
And then it fell into her eyes of course, the mask that was not good-looking, but it made her feel at ease at the moment.
"We escaped? They didn't catch up? Tang Ying, asked.
"Well, the marks on your body have been diluted by the pond water, and the Nanmiao Holy Maiden can't find you for the time being." The masked man responded truthfully.
But in between speaking, he couldn't help but leak a muffled snort.
Although it is extremely light and extremely low, it is still completely captured by Tang Ying in such a silent deep valley.
"Are you okay with the poison?" Tang Ying, there are some worries.
That Nanmiao Holy Maiden looks even more difficult to deal with than Chu Chen, and she will be poisoned, not to mention that she will attract snakes. And those snakes look colorful, they must also be extremely poisonous.
"It's okay, the prince expected this trip to be dangerous, so he left medicine for me." The masked man replied calmly.
It was too difficult for Tang Ying to hear the flaws in his voice.
I had to turn my gaze to his mask.
At first, the masked man didn't care, until Tang Ying stared at him motionless for a long time.
The masked man coughed lightly to hide the embarrassment in his heart: "Princess, is there anything uncomfortable?" ”
"Nope." Tang Ying shook her head in denial.
"I'm just curious who the hell are you?"
"Princess Shizi, still don't believe in your subordinates?" The masked man, asked knowingly.
I didn't want Tang Ying to smile, "You know that what I said doesn't mean this, why do you have to deliberately misinterpret it?" ”
They can be regarded as living and dying together, not to mention through the contact with Tang Ying a few days ago. It has been confirmed that this person is indeed from the Shizifu.
It's just that......
"What are you, the princess?" The masked man, his voice was still dry and ugly, but his attitude was very sincere, "The subordinates are stupid, and I hope that the princess will make it clear." ”
"Take off your mask and show me." Tang Ying, who can't move now, naturally can't reach out.
But the masked man instinctively stepped back.
This made a certain thought in Tang Ying's heart seem to be more firm.
"I'm curious, it stands to reason that Void Wind's martial arts should be the highest among the guards. But you seem to be higher than the Void Wind martial arts. So what rank are you? ”
"Back to the princess, the virtual guard is responsible for the protection on the surface, and the subordinates are the secret guard responsible for the prince. The two of us are in different roles, but we are of the same rank. "The mask is humane.
So, it is reasonable that he is higher than the Void Wind martial arts?
Tang Ying didn't refute, but continued: "Then just now you called King Ning's name and asked something like that. Lu Zhan also told you to do it? ”
Can Lu Zhan predict the content of each of their conversations?
"It's not." The masked man responded, "That's the question my subordinates want to ask." After all, although Nan Miao is deeply entangled with Nanyue, there are many princes, and they have made a choice so early, which really makes their subordinates curious. ”
At this point, Tang Ying has nothing to ask.
Because she really doesn't have any direct evidence, and it's highly likely that it's just wishful thinking on her part.
So......
"Then let's go back to the first question, could you please take off your mask and let me see it?"
As if knowing that the other party would not agree easily, Tang Ying added, "After all, the two gangs of Nan Miao and Chu Chen are not easy to deal with, and we have a long way back to Jinling." If someone makes up a mask like yours to deceive me. Wouldn't that be dangerous? ”
"Princess Shizi, do you really want to see it?" The Masked Man asked.
Tang Ying nodded without hesitation, "It's true." ”
I don't know if it's because of Chu Chen's words, which made Tang Ying have doubts in his heart.
Or is this her own thought, in short, Tang Ying just wants to see it. I want to see if the person under this mask is Lu Zhan.
"Then the princess must be prepared, because the subordinates are hateful and vulgar." The masked man said again.
But there was no intention of taking off the mask.
made Tang Ying feel a rare anxious return, "It's okay, no matter how ugly and scary you are, I won't be scared." So, don't waste time, okay? ”
"You know what I'm going to do, it's never going to change."
This was true, but more Tang Ying just wanted to scare him.
After all, if he really insisted, Tang Ying would not be reluctant.
Who would have thought that the masked man who heard the rumors would really start to take off his mask. And Tang Ying stared at the person in front of him for a moment.
A pair of bright peach blossom eyes seemed to be embedded in each other's bodies.
There was a "clang" sound.
The mask fell to the ground in response, and Tang Ying's eyes were greeted by a very clear face. But that's about it.
The man's eyes, nose, eyebrows, ears. There is no place like Lu Zhan, and there is no charm of Lu Zhan at all. Not to mention those ordinary eyes, no matter what, they can't be compared to Lu Zhan's starry fox eyes.
It turned out that it wasn't him.
"Princess Shizi, can my subordinates bring back the masks?" The Masked Man asked.
Tang Ying realized her gaffe at this time, and immediately said, "Well, okay." By the way, what's your name? ”
Because of a trace of nostalgia in his heart, Tang Ying has never asked his name in the past few days.
"He Jun." The masked man responded respectfully.
And thousands of miles away, the real He Jun in Jinling City couldn't help but sneeze.
"Void wind, it's all warm spring in March. Why is there still a cold wind? As he spoke, He Jun stretched out his hand and pulled his coat together.
Xufeng squinted with a pair of fox eyes, "What kind of cold wind is this, I think eighty percent of the master knows what we did in Jinling City, and is rushing over to prepare for Xingshi to ask for guilt." ”
"It can't be." He Jun swallowed his saliva and said a little timidly.
After all, the appearance of a new high priest was something they did not expect.
"No matter what, let's do our best to assist the master first, and bring the princess back safely. Otherwise, we're really done. "The void wind is like a broken can.
Originally, it was not good to let him impersonate anyone.
actually asked him to pretend to be Lu Zhan, even if he had the secret medicine of the Holy Poison Gate. It can change people's appearance and even voice, but no matter how good the medicine is, it is always fake.
Speaking of this, He Jun couldn't help but sigh, "I hope that the master will not mobilize the internal breath again this time, otherwise the residual poison of the Heart Devouring Lotus." Although it is not fatal, it will make the master suffer to death. ”
"Hey, I hope so......" The void wind raised his forehead and looked at the sky.
……
In the deep valley.
After sleeping for a whole night, Tang Ying was really as "He Jun" said. All limbs did recover, though they were still a little weak.
But it's much better than yesterday's half-point immobility.
"What are we going to do next?" Tang Ying asked.
At this moment, "He Jun" is roasting a hare that I don't know where it came from. I saw him hand the roasted half to Tang Ying, "I've observed that we keep walking to the right, and we should be able to get out by bypassing the dangerous peak in front." It's just ......"
"Just what?" Seeing that he wanted to stop talking, Tang Ying guessed: "Are you worried that I can't climb the mountain?" No, I've climbed quite a few mountains before. ”
Of course, in fact, Tang Ying does weight-bearing rock climbing in modern times.
"No, I'm worried that we won't be out there for long. It will be found by the Nanmiao Holy Maiden again. ”
At the mention of this, Tang Ying remembered the scene where they jumped into the cold pool yesterday. I couldn't help but feel a little palpitational and said, "Then what mark did the Nan Miao Holy Maiden make on me?" Is it the same as Lu Zhan's peach blossom fragrance? ”
She woke up this morning and carefully examined her body, and there really was nothing out of the ordinary.
Of course, the peach blossom fragrance designed by Lu Zhan couldn't be smelled by Tang Ying before taking the medicine.
"It's not the same. But the path is the same. "He Jun" explained, "Actually, it's not difficult to unlock the mark of the Golden Gu. It's rare that it takes some precious medicinal materials, and I don't have them at the moment. However, the cold pool can temporarily cover the mark, but it will last for a maximum of twenty hours. ”
Twenty hours.
They've spent a day and a night. Wouldn't that be the time left?
There are many people on the other side, and they must not be hard-hitting.
Suddenly, Tang Ying's peach blossom eyes turned and said, "I have an immature little suggestion, I don't know if I can say it." ”
"Princess, please speak, your subordinates will listen to you."
Originally, he thought that Tang Ying was going to say nothing more than to go to the cold pool to take a dip again.
I never thought that Tang Ying actually said: "I see that you know Jin Gu very well, why don't we find a way to lure that thing out and then kill it?" After all, no matter how powerful it is, it's just a bug. ”
Tang Ying didn't believe that the two of them couldn't fight a single bug.
But what can respond to Tang Ying is neither approval nor opposition.
There was silence.
"Did I say something wrong?" Looking at the person in front of him who suddenly fell silent, Tang Ying waved his hand.
At this moment, "He Jun" had already taken off his mask, so Tang Ying could clearly see the strange look on his face.
"No, no." "He Jun" came back to his senses, "My subordinates are just thinking that the princess is really a wonderful person." Originally, his subordinates thought that the princess's solution was to return to Hantan again. Unexpectedly, the princess thought of drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle. ”
"Don't slap the horse just yet. My trick may not work. After all, what kind of golden Gu, what if there were many Nanmiao Holy Maidens? And is it a marker? Although she said this, Tang Ying was still happy in her heart.
Therefore, the words are inevitably more light and bright.
"This is something that the princess can rest assured, the golden Gu is very precious, easy to die and difficult to raise, and a golden Gu only corresponds to one mark. If the subordinates guessed correctly, then the Nan Miao Holy Maiden should have only brought a golden Gu with her this time. ”
Hearing this, Tang Ying couldn't help but grin, "That's great." What does Jin Gu like? And whether it's poisonous all over, and whether we can say it first. Don't alarm the Nan Miao Holy Maiden by killing the Golden Gu, I'm really afraid that she will summon those colorful snakes again. ”
"Princess, there are so many questions, which one do your subordinates have to answer first?"
"He Jun" also followed her smile and showed a smile.
"Say it slowly, we still have time anyway." Saying that, Tang Ying's stomach gurgled.
For a while, Tang Ying was slightly embarrassed.
It was "He Jun" who didn't think there was anything, but smiled gently, "Concubine Shizi, you haven't eaten for a day and a night." Let's finish eating first. This hare is often done by his subordinates, and it should be acceptable to be entered. ”
Tang Ying had been hungry for a long time, but she forgot about it because she was discussing business.
Now when he heard this, he immediately stepped forward and took a bite of the rabbit meat in front of him.
Although "He Jun" did not finish speaking, his eyes seemed to have been quenched with ink, and he looked at Tang Ying brightly.
It was as if she was waiting for a response to whether this thing met her appetite.
Tang Ying knew it well, and immediately responded, "He Guard, you are too modest." Where is this still acceptable entrance. It's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, crispy in the mouth. And what are the particles on you, it's delicious, I haven't eaten it before. ”
This is the truth, Tang Ying is a modern person.
The food requirements are very simple, except for maintaining the necessary energy intake. More often than not, she eats sandwiches to satisfy her stomach.
"This is cumin, and when smoked, it will ...... its aroma to the food."
