Chapter 256: The Old Man Reunites
Liang Yu, the capital of Hosdu, which is not far from other cities, has shocked many people's eyes with a slender figure, and those eyes are all respectful and admirable, without the slightest trace of dirty and evil thoughts.
"Brother Kashiwayama." In the face of the new emperor of the Hosdu Empire, Helian Mingyan was still called by his childhood habits, and Baishan didn't care.
"Kira, is there still no news of the worries? It is rumored that the Qinglian King is still alive in the Yuanguo market, and many people have seen it with their own eyes, but why can't we find it? "Bai Shan's eyes are 'color' sad, and he can't see the decisiveness of the king of a country at all.
Helian Ming sighed silently.
"Even if you are still alive, probably your heart is dead. It's because I'm too naΓ―ve to calculate the result, stupidly thinking that after everything settles, we can still get together happily as before, who knows that it will end like this. Helian Ming lowered his head, and his tone was that of a child who kept feeling guilty for doing something wrong, "I'm sorry, Brother Baishan, I promised to bring them back, but in the end, I was the only one ......who came back."
After all, he is no longer a naΓ―ve child, after Bai Shan settled his mood for a moment, he patted Helian Ming on the shoulder and shook his head: "Qiluo, it's not your fault, God's will is like this, what can we do?" Actually, I should say I'm sorry the most, if I can persist at that time, maybe you won't be sent to the Yuan Kingdom. Probably God doesn't want me to be with Liwu, but I can live with her for so many years, and I have expressed my heart before she leaves, I have nothing more to ask for. β
In the war-torn years, the palace was full of sentimental atmosphere, which always taught people to be dull, and Baishan picked some innocuous things to talk to Helian Mingyan, and just cleared the hesitation, and the soldiers who hurriedly ran in came to bring bad news.
"My lord, there is a group of Zhongzhou people who are making trouble in other cities, and they are almost rummaging through the cellars of other cities, and they are about to find your lordship, and you will send someone to guard that place!"
Helian Ming's expression was dark, and he sighed without a trace: "Brother Baishan, I want to rush to other cities to deal with some things, you can ask Cousin Salang about the situation in Zhongzhou, he knows better than me." After this trip, I hope that Brother Kashirayama can stay some time, and I want to talk to you about itβI have to apologize to Brother Kashirayama for my troubles. β
Leaving the palace in a hurry, Helian Mingyan planned to send someone to find Salang, but Salang was already waiting for her outside first.
"Who's going to be messing around over there?"
"Who else can there be, naturally it is from worry." Helian Ming smiled slightly bitterly, turned over and rode on horseback, "I'm still a little confused about the situation now, it stands to reason that if it's a worry, I should soon be able to think of where I hid Moqing, and I dragged it for so many days, is it really as Moqing said, has she lost her past memories?" But if she loses her memory, how can she suddenly emerge with another diametrically opposed 'sexual' personality? This time I must seize the opportunity to determine whether she is the Liwu I know, and before that, Cousin Salang please help me hide it, and I must not let Brother Baishan know that Liwu is in another city. β
Salang pouted: "It's up to you, I can't get involved in the affairs of the four of you at all." But Kira, you have to be careful, I don't think Wen Moqing's stinky boy is a good thing, you risked your life to save him, and then he bites you like a mad dog. β
Helian Ming smiled and didn't answer, he raised his whip and 'desired', and there was a faint trace of melancholy on his moonlight-like clear face, and a short sigh was almost inaudible.
"If I can, I really don't want Brother Baishan to know the truth, he must not be able to accept this kind of thing about falling in love with other men in Zhongzhou, right?"

The search for Wen Moqing soon made great progress after the words came away.
At first, it was just Gongsun Yan 'Yu' and Yan Liwu and the other four people who quietly checked some of the cellars, and found that all the large cellars with relatively hidden entrances were secretly guarded by soldiers, and Yan Liwu knew that Wen Moqing might be trapped in a certain cellar in another city;
The other city has a large area and a large population, and there are countless cellars of all kinds, and there are many cellar entrances that are very secret and difficult to find. However, there is a limit to the number of cellars, and with the unremitting efforts of Yan Liwu and others, the places that may be imprisoned in Wen Moqing are becoming fewer and fewer as they are eliminated one by one, and it is only a matter of time before someone is found, but at the same time, the pressure of searching is gradually increasing.
The officers and soldiers who were aware of the abnormal movement began to intensify their patrols and defenses, and several times they set up ambushes in front of Yan Liwei and others, and before they found the extremely hidden cellar on the outskirts of the city, two disciples of the 'Chao' Snow Pavilion had already been injured in the struggle.
"That's it, where there's a poplar tree and two big rocks." In the dense woods on the outskirts of Beicheng, Gongsun Yan 'Yu' held his breath and pointed to the distance and whispered, "The spies who were secretly staring at the government found that almost every day, soldiers disguised as ordinary people came here, either to deliver food and water or 'medicine'. I've probably counted, and there are about fifteen or sixteen guards inside and outside the woods, and it shouldn't be a problem if we all split up at the same time. β
Yan Liwu subconsciously 'touched' the sword on his waist, took a deep breath, and nodded: "The more hidden the place, the more suspicious it is." We had only searched in the city before, and we hadn't considered the outskirts of the city at all, and the possibility of Mo Qing being imprisoned here was far higher than that in the city. Gongsun, Ling Xi and I went to 'settle' the outermost people, and these people inside will be 'handed over' to you and Bi Sheng, and the more unaware you are, the better. β
The simple arrangement was in place, and several people acted separately. Yan Liwu and Ye Ling Xi's kung fu were slightly inferior, and they went together to deal with the outermost scattered soldiers, but after a while, they pulled out all the secret posts with a total of seven people in all directions. Gongsun Yan's 'jade' and Bi Sheng's speed was not slow, and they clapped their hands to dust off the above dust, and there was already a whistle indicating that the task was completed.
A large poplar tree that is more than 100 years old, and two stones that look huge but are actually very light, this is the little-known entrance to the cellar - perhaps it should no longer be called a cellar, but an authentic.
After Gongsun Yan's 'jade' pushed away the boulder, the 'door' plate made of 'fine' iron was 'exposed' in front of his eyes, and it was firmly locked by an iron chain as thick as his little finger. For the sharp weapon of sharpening iron like clay, this iron chain is thinner than paper, and the sword falls and falls, and the iron chain breaks with a brittle sound.
In the tunnel, can you find traces of Wen Moqing? I don't know if it's worried, and so are the others, but the nervousness is several times stronger than when I searched the tunnels in other cities.
In dangerous places, Gongsun Yan's 'jade' always insisted on taking the lead, Yan Liwu and Ye Ling Xi followed, and in the end, Bi Sheng, who had no choice but to break off, and two other fellow 'chaotic' Snow Pavilion disciples guarded outside the tunnel. After entering the tunnel in this order, what appeared in the sight of the four people was a huge square stone chamber, with two 'doors' on each of the three walls of the stone chamber, all of which were locked with iron chains, silently conveying the warning smell that the living should not enter.
"It looks like ...... Like death row. Ye Lingxi sighed softly.
"It's as good as death row. At least death row does not have such a thick stone 'door', nor does it have the world's first-class iron lock with anti-theft effect, which looks like it hides a monstrous disaster or rare treasure, for fear of being touched. β
The mood of the words is inexplicably much lighter, and there is some joke in the words. Ye Ling Xi turned his head to look at her, and immediately understood.
It's the kind of place that's best for hiding your warmth, isn't it?
Bi Sheng still looked cold and bored, and only took the conversation of Ye Ling Xi, who was detached from worry, as a deaf ear, and glanced around and said to Gongsun Yan's 'jade': "I don't know what is hidden behind the stone 'gate', maybe it will be dangerous to open it, in case it is a beast or something, such a small place we can only wait to be torn apart." β
"Would the beast be so quiet? I'd rather believe that it's all ghosts. Ye Ling Xi shrugged.
However, if the cage is locked, it is either to prevent others from entering or to prevent the contents from coming out, since there are soldiers who deliver food and water every day, it means that there must be living creatures inside. Yan Li frowned slightly, and his sword struck lightly on the nearest stone 'door', and the stone room immediately resounded with a tuk tuk echo.
"Whew-" When the echo was still 'rippling', there was a terrible roar from behind the stone 'door', and the roar was like a signal to arouse the other stone 'doors' and then there were bursts of sounds, some of them were low 'groans' of pain, some were crazy roars, and some of them were shouting angrily in unintelligible language.
"There are no wild beasts, they are all living people." Yan Li took back the Huang Chengjian neatly, and said calmly, "If you don't know the details, it's better not to 'mess' around, if it's really a vicious person, it will be troublesome." Knock on the 'door' one by one, and if Moqing is inside, he should respond. β
Gongsun Yan 'Yu' nodded without hesitation, and a circle of stone 'doors' knocked down, except for the two silent rooms, the other four were all unfamiliar sounds.
"There is one on the left and one on the left, do you want to open it and see? I don't know if it's no one or if the people inside can't speak. β
"Why lock it so carefully if there is no one?" Wherever Wen Moqing may exist, Yan Liwu is not willing to let go of a glimmer of hope, and just pulled out the Huangcheng Sword to cut the iron cable, there was a sudden 'chaotic' sound at the entrance of his head.
Gongsun Yan 'Yu' gasped: "It's not good, someone is coming!" β
The tunnel is so big, and there is no other exit, if the entrance is blocked, they will inevitably 'plug in' their wings, and the only way out is to defeat the enemy. Yan Li secretly sighed, the Huangcheng sword in his hand tightened, and his eyes were staring at the entrance without leaving half an inch, waiting for an opportunity to observe the situation.
After a muffled sound, the 'fine' iron 'door' board at the entrance of the tunnel was lifted, and the first thing that appeared in everyone's sight was a gorgeous corner, as white as snow.
"Sure enough, it's you, leave the worries." sighed with emotion.
The other party seemed to have known that the person who came here to investigate was talking about the worries, and the worries also estimated the identity of the other party quite accurately, there was no surprise on his face, and his tone was even calmer than that of the people who came with a group of soldiers.
"What the hell did you do to Moqing, Helian Mingyan?"
