Chapter 93: Escape
Blood-stained blades struck from all directions, heading straight for Huo Yan's heart.
At this moment, Zhi Wei's eyes lit up!
Two familiar figures finally appeared in the depths of Merlin.
The two didn't have time to speak, so they drew their swords and joined the battle, killing the man in black from behind by surprise.
Huo Yanzhi took advantage of the chaos to cut down a man in black and killed him, and after everyone was in the palace, he took Zhiwei and Jiangxue and began to run to the depths of Meilin.
To be exact, it should be Zhiwei who ran with him.
Zhi Wei had words in her mouth, and after a while, she popped up with a "left", "right", "go straight to the head and then to the right......
Jiang Xue was confused when she heard this, and ran away for a while, and when she looked back, the man in black was really thrown away by them for a distance!
"It's strange, it's not far away, why don't they catch up, but turn around like headless flies?"
Zhi Wei gasped and said: "There is a lost formation in this merchant, I don't know which master laid it, in short, it's easy to get lost in it." ”
Jiang Xue was even more suspicious.
So, how did the girl know the right way to leave?
Huo Yan's heart knew very well, and he had already guessed where Zhi Wei's "magic plan" came from, it was nothing more than the plum trees of the Lost Formation itself.
A trace of guilt quickly passed through my heart.
If he hadn't been too conceited and deliberately used himself as bait to force the Queen Mother to take risks, he would not have led Zhiwei to fall into such a dangerous situation.
The life and death of those people under the mountain are still uncertain, and most of the people behind their palace are injured, and the situation is worrying......
Under the "leadership" of Zhiwei, it didn't take long for the three of them to leave this green calyx plum forest.
However, they found speechlessly that there was no way down the mountain behind Merlin, only a white clearing, a grass house, and a cliff.
Zhi Wei wanted to cry without tears, and muttered: "I didn't know it would be like this, did the old plum tree lie to me?" ”
Huo Yanzhi's forehead jumped with green tendons, and he pulled her to the end of the grass house, and used the latter to cover her figure.
"I shouldn't lie to you, I'm afraid this is the place where the abbot of the temple meditates and participates in meditation."
His gaze fell on the dilapidated futon in the cottage, and he quickly turned away, staring coldly in Merlin's direction.
Zhi Wei poked her head out, looked at the terrain twice, and boldly suggested, "Otherwise, let's go around from both sides of this Merlin, those killers are trapped in the forest, and they may not be able to find us." ”
"However, the road on both sides seems to be very narrow, and only one person can pass through. If you are not careful, you have to roll down the mountain, just afraid of your life. Why don't you wait here for a few big guards to come over and meet, and then we can kill them together? ”
Huo Yanzhi's face was gloomy.
The six guards in Merlin don't know if they'll survive, let alone find them.
"I don't believe that the people under the mountain will all be folded in their hands! Those people are the elite of the elite, and if they want to destroy them all in a short time, and don't leave them any chance to send warning signals, at least they have to mobilize thousands of people, with martial arts masters and ghost methods. The people supported by the queen mother in the army may be able to mobilize so many soldiers, but they don't have that kind of background! Someone will come to the rescue, don't worry! ”
Zhiwei frowned, unmoved.
"Your Majesty, if you sit here and wait for reinforcements, you are tantamount to putting life and death in the hands of others. And there are too many unknowable factors, I'm afraid it's not worth the risk. ”
How could Huo Yanzhi not know this truth.
If he was just a person living here, he would definitely not hesitate, and directly used Zhiwei's method to outflank him from both sides, gambling that he would not encounter the assassins of the man in black, and successfully bypassed Merlin and returned to the temple to descend the mountain, and maybe he could also meet the belated reinforcements.
However, with the addition of Zhiwei and the others, he had to look forward and backwards, wanting to choose a more secure method.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid the guards won't be able to support it for long, so make a decision as soon as possible."
Zhi Wei had a thick worry between her eyebrows, but she smiled at him reluctantly, as if to comfort him not to be afraid, no matter what, she would stay with him and share the blessings and misfortunes.
Jiang Xue's eyes rolled, her mind calmed down slightly, she leaned over and said something to Zhiwei, then turned around and sneakily moved to the path on Merlin's side.
Seeing this, Huo Yanzhi snorted: "What are you doing?" ”
Because he was afraid that the words and movements would be heard by the people in the plum forest, he didn't dare to speak loudly, so he could only watch Jiang Xue go farther and farther.
He said angrily: "This girl! I've only been with you for a few days, and my temperament has become wild, which shows that he is close to Zhu and black! ”
Zhi Wei smiled helplessly and said softly: "Jiang Xue is just going to investigate the enemy's situation, Your Majesty doesn't need to worry." ”
Sure enough, Jiang Xue walked to the border of Merlin, and her movements were more cautious, not daring to go deep into the trail, and she only walked a short distance before turning back. She didn't run back to the grass house directly, but quickly ran to the other side, and concocted it like the law before Shi Shiran came back.
"Your Majesty, the slave maid has inquired, the left side of the forest is slightly quieter than the right, and when we run out, we also turn to the right. The Assassins are probably fighting the guards on the right, or looking for our whereabouts. The slave maid felt that what the girl said was quite reasonable, let's go on the left, maybe we can really escape smoothly! Her eyes were shining.
Zhi Wei nodded appreciatively, turned his face, and looked at Huo Yanzhi with the same sparkling eyes.
"Your Majesty......"
Huo Yanzhi slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, "That's it, it's up to the two of you." Now that life and death are in danger, the weight of my words is not as heavy as the two of you combined. ”
The second daughter hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is serious......
After making an escape plan, the three of them raced against time to leave.
However, because the trail was narrow and could only accommodate one person, they had to be connected in a column. Thus, the question of who goes first and who goes later arises.
Zhi Wei proposed that she and Jiang Xue divide the labor and cooperate, one takes the lead, the other is behind, and the safest middle position is left to Huo Yanzhi.
Jiang Xue agrees with this very much, although today's unwarranted disaster has to blame His Majesty for "pitting" them, but who makes His Majesty the biggest in the sky and on earth, isn't it her duty to die for Your Majesty?
However, Huo Yanzhi refused to agree.
"Both of you are women, so naturally I will take the lead, you go in the middle, behind the Jiangxue Palace."
So, Jiang Xue witnessed the whole process of His Majesty and the girl's "quarrel".
In the end, Zhi Wei failed to win, because Huo Yanzhi "shamelessly" took out the emperor's privileges and vetoed her proposal with one vote.
Jiang Xue quietly bit her ear, "Actually, there is nothing wrong with Your Majesty in front, in case something happens, the first one will run fast." ”
These words did not comfort Zhi Wei much, she privately felt that if she was unfortunate enough to run into an assassin on the way, His Majesty would never leave the two of them and flee alone.
Huo Yanzhi couldn't help but feel a little dazzling when he saw the intimate appearance of the two of them whispering.
"Okay, okay, although the outer path is narrow, but that Merlin is not a killing formation, you can hide in it when necessary, do you have to worry about this for a long time?"
Jiang Xue's heart suddenly brightened, and she hurriedly slapped a dragon fart: "Your Majesty is wise." ”
Zhiwei didn't squeak.
If Old Plum hadn't told her about the strangeness of this Lost Formation Formation, this would really comfort her. It's just that the formation is very weird, who knows if there will be any other changes after entering it again?
The three of them silently walked on the established route, each holding a long knife or a short dagger in his hand, not only to look at the road in front of him, but also to keep an eye on Merlin on the right, for fear that someone would come out of it and kill them by surprise, and the mood was like walking on thin ice.
Merlin was large enough to cut off the view, but it couldn't block the movement inside.
Huo Yanzhi vaguely heard that there was still the sound of swords colliding in front of him, but he was just a little away from them.
He was a little sure in his heart, which at least meant that at least one or two of the six people had not been killed.
Zhi Wei also thought of this, and a little smile appeared on her face, which quickly disappeared again.
The plum forest was full of fallen flowers, and there were even corpses in black clothes or ordinary military robes lying on the ground, dead and blind, and the eyes that gradually became cloudy reflected the plum petals that were swept down by the sword qi in mid-air.
Now, there are only nine people left who are still standing in the circle to fight.
When Huo Yanzhi and the others broke through, two men in black rushed out, but they got lost in Merlin.
There were casualties among the remaining two groups of men, five of the men in black and four of the guards, all of whom were scarred and dripping blood.
The man in black at the head was one of the two who got lost.
He injured his right hand, and at the moment he could only hold the dagger with his left hand and move forward cautiously.
When he found out that there was something strange in this forest, he immediately called out to his companion and told him not to be greedy for merit, so as not to make it more troublesome for the two to be separated.
After turning half a pillar of incense, the man in black was in a hurry.
"Commander, this forest is like a ghost hitting a wall, it seems that you can't get out no matter how you go! I can't find the emperor, and I can't go back, what can I do? ”
The Commander looked around with a calm face and smiled sadly.
"It's just a little trick to carve insects. Come on, just cut down all these trees! I don't believe they can hide here for the rest of their lives! ”
The black-clothed subordinate hesitantly looked at the big steel knife in his hand.
"But, such a large forest, you can't cut it all down, right? That has to be cut until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Moon, if those people under the mountain ......"
The Commander shouted, "Are you a fool? Who told you to cut them all? You're going in this direction, they're just going this way. If I'm not mistaken, there should be some mysterious formation here, as long as these plum trees are destroyed, the formation can solve itself! ”
The men in black's subordinates had to work tirelessly as lumberjacks.
The commander was not idle, and tried to jump up to the treetops to investigate, but because his body was not flexible enough, and the plum branches were too weak, he failed several times, and finally had to choose the lowest way, and chose an old plum tree with the thickest trunk, and climbed it with his hands and feet.
He acted rudely, stepped on the branches, grasped the branches, and stirred up the sparkling and elegant plum blossoms of a tree, like a bald old hen, and the end was very ugly.
Coincidentally, this old plum tree is one of the "good Samaritans" who led the way just now.
It was furious, scolding all the foul language it could think of, but the Archon turned a deaf ear, holding it tightly for balance, and looking in all directions.
Finally, his pupils shrank.
"See! They're over there! ”
Xu is because the view from the height is not obstructed, and the commander is now not disturbed by the formation, not only can he see that Huo Yanzhi and the three of them are going around Merlin, but he can also see the two sides of the battle in the clearing in the forest clearly.
The commander took out a small object from his waist and threw it in Huo Yanzhi's direction.
After a bang, earthy yellow smoke suddenly spread to the east.
At the same time, the commander shouted: "Everyone listen to the order and chase in the direction of the signal flare, the emperor is over there!" Don't waste time with them! ”
He jumped down from the plum tree, and his face couldn't help but tremble when his eyes looked at the black-clothed subordinate, who was panting from the tree cutting up.
This subordinate is quite hardworking, but the direction of the cut is completely reversed.
"Didn't you say they were running in this direction, Commander?" The subordinates were a little aggrieved.
Commander: "...... Less nonsense! Hurry up and keep up, it's hard to find the direction after a while the smoke clears! ”
