Wen Zhen went around half a circle and walked a mountain road, and then sighed in his heart.

Among this group of people, there was no one she wanted to meet, not a single one.

There was no need to follow the sedan chair to go back, she found a reason to get out of the sedan chair, the sky was getting dark, and it was time to find a place to sleep.

Wen Dandan was already back in her hair, slowly running down her hair.

Tie Zhu found a place to stay, took out the rabbit meat that he hadn't eaten yesterday and roasted it, dug a small trap nearby, and after a while, he magically caught a pheasant.

Wen Zhen mixed the wild fruit berry juice with yellow mud and smeared it on the pheasant, stuffed the mushroom and dried fruit in the chicken's belly, buried it in the mud pit and put it on the fire, and after half an hour, it was a modified version of the pheasant called Huashan chicken. The skin is slightly wrinkled and tough because of the addition of wild fruit berry juice, exuding a faint appetizing sweet and sour aroma, the chicken is very smooth and tender, a mouthful of pulp, the oil in the chicken belly makes those mushrooms and dried fruits more and more fragrant, the entrance is thick, there is a rich meat flavor and the aroma of the woods.

As soon as Tiezhu saw the chicken, he immediately tore off half of it, and then grabbed his own half and ate it without raising his head, and the fat dog spun around him, desperately trying to grab a bite.

Tie Zhu whined while eating: "Eat, eat quickly, I know that your craftsmanship is good, if you don't tear off half of it first, I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself...... Hurry up and eat, or I'll grab it! ”

Wen Zhen tore off a chicken leg, and suddenly threw the chicken leg out with a sudden groan.

Tie Zhu was startled, "What's wrong, what's wrong?" ”

"I think I just touched a bug!" Wen Zhen waved his hand in annoyance, "There are so many mosquitoes in the mountains this season!" ”

"Oh, you said I'll help you get it, it's a pity!" Tie Zhu slapped the fat dog, "Go, it's cheap for you!" ”

The fat dog ran down the hill with a shout, Wen Zhen heard it whining and searching, and after a while the dog came back, chewing on the chicken bones in its mouth, and gnawed all the remaining chicken bones with great satisfaction.

Tie Zhu laughed and scolded, and then rested. This time there was no shed, but he found a cave, but it was very narrow, and there was no way through it, so the iron pillar found some hay, and lit a fire, and then took the fat dog, and said that we should stay outside the cave, and then slept far away from the cave.

Wen Zhen also lay down, holding his head and thinking about his thoughts.

It's not that she didn't think about revealing her identity directly in the crowd of people in Liushan today, but she still has some other thoughts in her heart, so let's wait.

I don't know if Sikong Yu, the puppet priest, went back, and who was the man who killed the county lord of Zhaoming, and whether he would think that there might still be someone at that time and turn around to hunt down her, a witness.

It's been a day and two nights, and if Yan Sui really came back, she should have already found her clues by now, so she hasn't appeared yet......

Suddenly, she smelled a familiar, strong smell at the tip of her nose.

Wen Zhen Huo Ran got up, and before he could sit up, his fingers had already clasped the dagger at the bottom of his sleeve.

A wind swept by, and at the same time, a low voice sounded: "Lord Wen, don't do it yet!" ”

An even stronger smell of blood came, Wen Zhen didn't move, clasped his fingers in the dark, and whispered, "Who?" ”

The man stopped half a foot away from her, and the echo in the cave sounded deep and hollow, and he said hoarsely, "Lord Wen...... I...... I am Yan San in His Highness's English team...... Ordered to look for your traces......"

"You're hurt?"

"Yes...... My lord...... I heard you singing today, and I was about to contact you, but I ...... was hunted down by inexplicable people...... It's hard to get rid of people...... Found here...... But...... I don't have time to go back and report it...... But I've left a mark...... Your Highness's people will soon find you...... I got it...... It's to tell you one thing......"

"What's the matter?"

"You...... Have you ever met a dwarf guard before......"

"No......"

"Lord Wen, something has happened to Your Highness...... He was besieged by countless poisons in King An's mansion, and was poisoned, and then learned that you were in distress, and ran to Liushan in the starry night...... I wanted to ask you for help with detoxification...... As soon as you arrived, you got the bad news that you were missing...... His Royal Highness had no choice but to forcibly wake up and preside over the overall situation...... caused the old poison to be injured, and some people continued to assassinate, and His Royal Highness was injured...... His Highness is in control of the situation...... But he was unconscious......"

"What!" Wen Zhen stood up in shock, "What happened to Your Highness?" Does it matter? Take me to him! As he spoke, he was about to go out.

The man didn't move, and suddenly coughed violently and said with a wry smile: "...... Mr. Wen...... I can't take you there...... Don't worry...... Hear me out...... There is a shortage of doctors and medicines in the valley...... The Feng San family has already sent someone to escort His Royal Highness out of the mountain to seek medical treatment...... Before His Highness came down to stay on the mountain, he sent a dwarf secret guard...... Take his poisonous blood...... There's also a pill to heal your wounds...... The dwarf guard is missing, and this guard is the best at tracking his tracks...... We suspect he may have found you...... I chased it all the way ......."

"He's dead."

"Yes...... Who killed it? ”

Wen Zhen was silent for a while and said, "I." ”

“……”

After a few moments, the guard's voice changed, "You ......"

Wen Zhen didn't explain, and the guards didn't seem to have much strength to get to the bottom of it, so they only gasped: "...... That, that thing, did you get ......?"

Wen Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "I thought it was an assassin, and he killed someone directly, how do you know what else there is." ”

The guard sighed again and again, but his voice gradually became shorter, and he suddenly stumbled a step, fell at her feet, grabbed the corner of her robe, and said, "...... You are careful, you are careful, the people around you...... Possible...... Probably ......"

Before he could finish his words, a slight "Gege" sound came out of his throat, and he was abruptly cut off.

Wen Zhen sat quietly for a long time, bent down and touched the man's cold fingers, and then dragged him to the dark part of the cave and covered him with hay.

She fumbled with her belt, pulled the handkerchief from it, touched it, and sniffed it again.

She smelled a faint smell of poisonous blood. This amount of blood is not large, only one drop, which is not caused by wiping the wound, but seems to have been dripped on purpose.

Like Yan Sui's style.

She took out the small wooden box again, it was indeed a pill, and sniffed it, it didn't seem to be much different from the medicines that Yan Sui gave her before, there was no problem.

She held the pill in her hand, she supposedly needed this now, she needed a healthy body and strong strength to be able to deal with all the malice and scheming in this world.

However, smelling the clear and slightly bitter aroma, listening to the gentle sound of the night wind, somehow, she didn't put this medicine into her mouth for a long time.

After a while, she still sighed, put away the wooden box, sniffed the handkerchief again, pursed the corners of her mouth, and tucked the handkerchief into her sleeve.

Then she rolled over and fell asleep.

……

The black soil mixed with blood on the nameless peak was moist and fishy, the withered yellow bamboo leaves everywhere were sprinkled with mottled old blood, the crevices of the mountain were glued to the ashes of the burning fire, and there were still traces of human beings lying in a hastily dug grave.

This is the scene where the county lord Zhaoming was killed, and it is also the place where English and his guards finally lost all traces of Wen Zhen.

The ability of this team of people to dig three feet into the ground to find traces has been looking for a long time here, which shows the strength of the person who hides the traces.

When Yan Sui's figure floated over, the bitter gourd face in English was about to fall to the instep of his feet.

All the imprints are not erased, on the contrary, they are all there, but all the imprints are chased to the end, either returning to the original place or reaching a dead end, and the normal route cannot be traced at all.

"Expand the scope." Yan Sui looked down, he didn't look at the traces that belonged to Wen Zhen pointed out in English, but found a few very sparse traces, the traces were footprints, very delicate, but the strange thing was that they were very scattered, far away, and some were not complete, like a ghost, floating in the air and walking.

Because they were too far away, too little, to form a normal footpath, mixed in with the footprints of other people and beasts coming and going, it seemed very inconspicuous, so English didn't care.

"Just look for this footprint, keep looking until you find the last one."

After a while, someone rushed and shouted: "The footprints appeared three times in total, and the distance of the three times was as long as a mile, and when they reached a cliff more than a mile away, they were gone!" This cliff is low, and we have sent people down to see it. ”

"All down. and chased after the seal. Yan Sui's tone was calm, he rarely wore a black thin coat, the texture of the silk was smooth and undulating, and it also reflected the sparkling light in the dark night, and his face was more and more like snow.

He swept down the low cliff, and the bushes under the cliff were overgrown, and the guards were cutting the bushes one after another, and sure enough, every once in a while, he found that the bushes had been trampled on, all of which were far away.

English brought Yan Sui a pair of special thin iron boots that could be put on the outside of the boots, and said: "Your Highness, there are most snakes and insects in this kind of place, and the road here is not clear, so put it on just in case." ”

Yan Sui didn't pay attention, he didn't say a word, as if he was listening to something.

Fortunately, this section of the road is not far, and soon the front suddenly opened up, and everyone found that there was a mountain road connected under this low cliff, and soon after stepping on the mountain road, because the shrubs reduced the number of people coming and going, the sparse footprints were more difficult to find, and everyone was in trouble, but Yan Sui simply pointed in a direction.

A group of people flashed on the mountain road like electricity.

The sound of conversation came faintly.

"Your Highness, how can you be sure of that direction?"

"Didn't you notice that there are many fewer snakes and insects on this mountain road than under the cliff?"

"Well, where there are a lot of pedestrians, there should be fewer snakes and insects, right?"

"On the low cliff, near the grave, there are few snakes and insects. Only the section under the dwarf cliff, and the distribution of snakes and insects under the dwarf cliff is in line with the distribution of these poisons in Liushan. ”

"Your Highness means ......"

"Once Wen Dan Dan emits body fluids, all snakes and insects will get rid of it."

"What do you mean ......"

"Wen Dandan's whole way, constantly dripping body fluids, I don't think I will spit all the way because of anger, and I won't be too old to have a stroke and enuresis, that is, I am frightened all the way, and I can't control it somewhere."

"Wait, Your Highness, are you saying that Wen Dandan is afraid...... Will it be afraid? ”

"It's also lewd, lustful, lazy, and shameless." Yan Sui remembered that Wen Dandan always arched back and forth on Wen Zhen's head, neck and chest, and there seemed to be a small flame arching slightly in his heart.

"Your Highness...... Now we are talking about Wen Dandan's fear, which is related to the safety of Wen Dandan's life......"

"It won't threaten Wen Zhen, because it's just a dog. On and off the cliff, there are a lot of wild beasts passing by, but firstly, Wen Dandan has proved that it is not afraid of those beasts, and secondly, those beasts are also passing by, and they have not always existed, causing Wen Dandan to always leak two drops of urine, and the only animal mark that has always existed is the footprints of a dog. Therefore, the person who took Wen Zhen should have a dog by his side, and we just need to follow the traces of the dog to find it. ”

"Your Highness, how wise Nell!"

"If Wen Dandan can't protect Wen Zhen well this time, I will also arrange a smarter future for it."

"Your Highness......"

"Marry it to three, two, two."

……

In his sleep, he shivered and dropped two drops of unknown liquid.

……

Continue on your way after dawn.

Turning a col, I faintly felt the ground shake, like an earthquake, and the fat dog barked.

Tie Zhu smiled and said, "Ah, today's bullfighting!" ”

Wen Zhen has heard that bullfighting is one of the traditional repertoire programs at the Lihuo Festival, which is generally held in a flat place in two ways: first, the host selects his strongest cattle and fights against each other; The second is to draw a circle, put several cattle in the circle, and each free master guides, and stipulate a quarter of an hour or half an hour, and the cow that stays in the pen for the longest time during this period wins.

The grassland was full of people, divided into circles, and there were many people around each circle, shouting and cheering there.

Tie Zhu squeezed in and out with great interest, and came back to say to Wen Zhen: "Most of them are horns, and the innermost circle is the most ruthless, and even used a fire circle to come out, and dozens of cows were put in it, see which one can stay in the fire circle for the longest time, oh my God, the cows are the most afraid of fire, and now the people in that circle are going crazy!" Everybody is going there! ”

Before the words fell, a stream of people rushed over, and Shengsheng pushed Wen Zhen in that direction, and Tie Zhu hurriedly said, "Hey, Xiaozhen, do you want to see it too?" Then you wait for me, slow down, hey, don't push, slow down! ”

Wen Zhen followed the flow of people, and involuntarily went all the way forward, and gradually felt the heat, and there was a black shadow jumping in front of him, obviously it was firelight, and the mooing of the cows in the circle continued, and the people seemed to be more excited than the cows, shouting and screaming like a group of jumping chickens, constantly mooing and mooing, with sparks on their bodies, rushing out of the gap opened in advance, and the crowd hula dispersed, and then hula poured in.

Wen Zhen didn't know why she rushed to the vicinity of the gap, and when she dispersed, she only turned sideways, letting go of the cow that rushed out, and when she surged up again, she suddenly felt pushed behind her, stumbled, and rushed forward.

Then there was a bang, and the gap behind him, the iron fence tied to the burning vines, was kicked up!

Then I heard the howls of the mad bulls, low and ferocious, full of rage, the whole ground shook wildly, the heat wrapped in the hooves of the turf crushed by the hooves and had no head and no brains in the face, the cows, who had been driven to the brink of madness by the fire, their huge bodies were rampant, and there seemed to be walls of flesh rumbling and squeezing on all sides—

Wen Zhen rolled over, and with a snap, the four hooves of a cow fell on the place where she had just rolled, leaving four pits a few inches deep.

A roll has not been finished, Wen Zhen's body is light, and then suspended in the air, she touched her backhand, touched the curved and sharp horns, the cow shook her violently, Wen Zhen's figure crossed an arc in mid-air, countless cows raised their heads, the petite figure was reflected in the blood-red bull's eyes, and suddenly the hooves trampled wildly, the four fields shook, and all the cattle ran wildly in the direction where the figure fell.

The crowd outside was dumbfounded, some were screaming, some were fainting, some were shouting her name, some were trying to climb through the ring of fire, and more people were running as fast as they could.

Wen Zhen suddenly gestured in midair.

Then she fell.

If you look up and down from the sky at this moment, you can see the dense herd of cattle rushing in one direction, countless curved and high horns like countless knife tips, and Wen Zhen fell to the center of the blade.

The exclamations of the people also rolled up like a huge wave at this moment.

In the midst of the crowd, a figure suddenly jumped up, as if not afraid of the pain of the fire, pressed one hand on the hot iron fence, turned over and jumped over the ring of fire, jumped on the back of a cow in the outermost circle, and threw a rope ring with his hand.

But the rope loop was not long enough after all, and it could pass Wen Zhen's waist, and Wen Zhen had already fallen in the exclamations of everyone.

The bulls bowed their heads in unison, put her on the horns, and then raised their heads in unison to provoke her.

Wen Zhen suddenly reached out and grabbed the two horns like lightning, and his hand was hard, and there was a double click.

The horns of two different cows were broken off by her.

The two cows howled miserably, and suddenly went crazy in pain, and hit Wen Zhen with their heads lowered, Wen Zhen swept on the top of the head of the other cow, and the two hornless cows crashed together, one cow was missing the left corner, and the other cow was missing the right corner, and this collision was suddenly stuck together.

Everyone: "......"

The iron pillar that rushed in and threw the rope loop: "......"

It took a long time for the crowd to burst into cheers.

Wen Zhen had a decent fist in the cheers, taking advantage of the fact that the cattle were still in a daze when they were shocked by the scene of breaking horns, stepping on the bull's head and running out lightly, Tie Zhu stretched out his hand very happily to answer her.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed ghostly from under the belly of a cow.

At this time, the cattle were all gathered together, the smoke of the fire ring outside had not been extinguished, and the dust and grass blades stirred up by the galloping of the cattle inside were also endless, and the visibility of the air was extremely low, so that the little light looked more like a string of sparks that had been stirred up.

The spark was behind Wen Zhen in a blink of an eye.

When Tie Zhu saw it, he was shocked and shouted: "Be careful! He leaned forward and hugged Wen Zhen, snorted, the bright light fell on his back, and a blood flower flew out, Wen Zhen turned around at this time, half of the blood hit her face, and a few drops fell into her mouth, the fishy smell surged, the stomach churned, Wen Zhen wowed, and vomited on the back of a cow.

Iron Pillar: "......"

No, is my blood so disgusting to you?
