Chapter 51: Colorful Valley

That night, in the last tea time when the city gate was about to be closed, Zhao Ziqian took Xiong Wei and Tang He and others to quickly come out of the south gate of Tongzhou City, and the group went in the direction of Qishanzhai.

At the same time, Qing Xuan jumped to the back door of Meihuan Yuan with Yi Xiangxiang, and Mo Wen observed the surrounding movements, following closely.

The curfew of the Li Dynasty was relatively late, and the management was relatively broad; The gates of the city are closed at the end of the hour, but the curfew begins at the time of the ugly. Nowadays, there is still about a cup of tea, but although it is still early before the curfew, there are very few pedestrians on the street, Yi Xiangxiang can't help but sigh, the nightlife of the ancients is not as colorful as modern after all!

Why don't you do some nighttime activities to make money? Yi Xiangxiang thought like this, and began to move to the side.

There were three horses tied to the stable next to the back door of Meihuan Garden, which Moxi asked people to prepare for Yi Xiangxiang and them to go out of the city. Originally, Qing Xuan said that he would take Yi Xiangxiang lightly, but Yi Xiangxiang knew that Qingxuan's light skills were not as good as the dragon girl, so she refused for fear of her hard work. Needless to say, he is a man, and it is definitely inconvenient to bring Yi Xiangxiang. Whether it is Yi Xiangxiang or decides to ride a horse, this saves a lot of trouble.

Yi Mansion originally had horses, but Yi Xiangxiang was afraid that the movement would be too big, after all, the Li family still lived in the guest house, so he asked Moxi to prepare.

"Miss, running around at night, I'll ride with you!" Qing Xuan was dressed in green clothes, and was wearing a cyan cloak of the same color, which was very similar to the taste of a chivalrous woman.

Yi Xiangxiang is wearing a red riding suit today, and she is also wearing a red cloak, the red clothes and the dark night seem to be able to blend in but restrain each other. In fact, her riding skills are not bad, but there are really not many times she rides and runs at night before, so it is indeed better to ride with Qingxuan.

"Alright, let's go! The gates were about to be shut. Yi Xiangxiang had already gotten on the horse at this time, she stretched out her hand to greet Qing Xuan, who jumped up and sat behind Yi Xiangxiang.

Mo Wen also got on the horse here, Yi Xiangxiang saw this and handed the reins to Qing Xuan, and the three of them hurried towards the south city gate.

At the last moment when the city gate was closed, Yi Xiangxiang and the three of them went out of the city. The guards guarding the south gate looked at the second wave of people who went out late this night, and said to the guards around them: "This Qishan cottage is convenient after it is gone, and there are people who rush to the south at night. ”

"Isn't it, after the mountain bandits, everyone's life is better." The other guard next to him said the same thing.

Yi Xiangxiang and the others naturally didn't hear the emotions of the guards, and Zhao Ziqian, who was walking in front of Yi Xiangxiang, couldn't hear it.

Tongzhou is located in the south, and after leaving Tongzhou City, the official road will lead to the mountains and forests. When you run a stick of incense in the mountain forest, you can see the fork of the three main official roads going to the cities and counties, and at the fork, you can run for an hour along the official road in the middle and enter the plain in front of Qishan, and the mountain forest after passing through the plain is the foot of Qishan.

The mountains and forests are a little silent at night, and the moonlight is as cool as promise. Zhao Ziqian led the way into the mountains and forests, and after a while, the group came to the fork in the road.

Zhao Ziqian stopped the fast horse, and Xiong Wei and others behind him followed one after another, and also held the reins.

"Master, follow the middle road, and after passing through the plains out of this mountain forest, you will be at the foot of Qishan Mountain." Tang He thought that Zhao Ziqian didn't know the road and stopped.

Zhao Ziqian controlled the reins to stop the horse, and at the same time raised his hand to signal everyone to silence. I saw that he listened to the direction he came from, and then stepped off the horse, and then he leaned close to the ground and listened to something, and after a long time he stood up and said: "You two, lead the empty horse and continue to the middle road, remember not to go up Qishan, go directly to Jinhua County to find a farmhouse to live in, and return to Tongzhou City tomorrow." If anyone asks, you can say it's a horse dealer. The rest of the rest, go into hiding with me! ”

At this moment, Zhao Ziqian's order was very inexplicable, but even if everyone wondered in their hearts, no one questioned Zhao Ziqian's decision. I saw that the people on the horse dismounted and handed over the reins to the other two, and the two ran away with their horses, while the rest of them hid into the mountains and forests with Zhao Ziqian.

Night is the best camouflage, and almost in a moment, the mountains and forests are quiet. Everyone endured the harassment of mosquitoes and patiently followed Zhao Ziqian to see the way of the time, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded on the official road with just a cup of tea, from far to near.

The group of people who were hiding all expressed surprise in their hearts, they didn't expect their master to be deaf and clear-sighted. However, Xiong Wei was not surprised, he had long known that his Royal Highness's ear and eyesight were extraordinary, and His Royal Highness had learned a lot of lost martial arts Heart Sutras since he was a child, and he was really an all-rounder of Wen Taowu.

The people came closer and closer, and in a short time they saw two horses running with men. At the front was a man in a black robe, and behind him was a horse pulling two women.

Since leaving the city gate, Mo Wen has beaten his horse and run in front of him to open the way, and at this time, when he arrived at the three-way intersection, he and Zhao Ziqian just now, also grabbed the reins, and the people hidden in the mountains and forests were so shocked that they instantly held their breath.

Yi Xiangxiang and Qing Xuan's horses followed, and in the dark night, the three of them covered their faces with hats outside their cloaks, so that even Zhao Ziqian didn't find out that it was Yi Xiangxiang for a while, until she opened her mouth.

"Don't ask, what's wrong?" Yi Xiangxiang saw Mo Wen stop and asked.

Mo Wen observed the surroundings, shook his head after frowning and said, "It's nothing, Miss, you go ahead, I'll come to the back." ”

As he said this, Qing Xuan beat his horse and galloped towards the official road on the right under Yi Xiangxiang's signal, and Mo Wen observed the surroundings again before he quickly followed.

It wasn't until the sound of horses' hooves faded away that Zhao Ziqian and the others came out of the mountains and forests.

Everyone was amazed, and one of the guards was even more dumbfounded, "Are we being followed?" ”

The group of people hitting horses and coming out of the target is indeed big, but most people will think that they are people in a hurry, and it stands to reason that they should not be targeted.

Tang He shook his head and said, "They didn't go in the direction of Qishan!" ”

That's right, he just saw that the three people were walking on the right side, and as far as Tang He knew, there was no path leading to Qishan or anything like that.

The girl's voice just now...... It's a little familiar, as if I've heard it somewhere. Xiong Wei bowed his head and pondered.

"That's Yi Xiangxiang, the eighth lady of the Yi family!" After all, Tang He is the person in charge of Tongzhou, his ability is not too bad, and his memory is also outstanding.

Xiong Wei suddenly realized, he looked at Zhao Ziqian with an incredible expression, and his eyes were full of "It turns out that there is really something wrong with this Yi family!" ”

Now what? There must be ghosts in this Yi Xiangxiang going out of the city in the middle of the night, they are riding horses now, and their own group may not be able to keep up! But if you go to Qishanzhai, there is no horse now, if you spend time walking over, don't say it, and then go up the mountain It is estimated that the sky is bright! Xiong Wei said he was depressed right now.

Zhao Ziqian didn't regret letting the horse go first, because he originally suspected that the people behind him were following them, so he wanted to stop and find out, he thought for a while and said: "You go back, enter the city and return to the joint, I'll go and see how this Yi family is!" ”

"No, it's too dangerous for you to go alone! I'll go with you! Xiong Wei quickly vetoed the proposal.

Zhao Ziqian didn't listen to Xiong Wei's suggestion, he shook his head and said: "Don't talk about that Qingxuan, you also saw it just now, the person who is called Mo Wen is so cautious, I look at his internal strength, and his martial arts are definitely above you." I'm so good that I won't be found out, and if you follow me, you might become a burden to me. Rest assured, I won't risk my life! ”

"But ......" Xiong Wei wanted to say something more.

"Just do it!" Zhao Ziqian threw down the four words of authority and didn't say more, and left.

Xiong Wei had no choice but to take Tang He and others back to the city to wait for news.

Zhao Ziqian secretly followed Yi Xiangxiang and the others, and saw that they gradually broke away from the official road and turned to the intricate path, he was afraid that he would lose it, so he didn't dare to be careless, and seriously took advantage of the night to hide himself and paced.

After entering the path, the horse couldn't run too fast, and after about two sticks of incense, Zhao Ziqian saw Yi Xiangxiang and the three of them come to the foot of a mountain.

He watched the three people in front of him get off their horses, and the man named Mo Wen walked to the edge of the stone wall and turned a stone as big as a stone lion back and forth six times, and then saw the huge stone in front of the mountain move in both directions, slowly revealing a stone door.

Mo Wen walked to the stone gate, stretched out his hand and pressed the mechanism on the stone door, and then twisted it six times from side to side, and the stone door opened.

Yi Xiangxiang walked in the front, and Mo Wen and Qing Xuan led the horse and walked in behind. After a while, the stone door slowly closed, and the stone returned to its original position.

Zhao Ziqian waited for a while, and made sure that there was no sound inside, so he took out a black scarf and covered his face, and then learned the technique of opening the door just now.

He strode in, and found that it was unguarded, and that the passage was lit with torches every eight steps, and it was very bright. But even though there was no one around, he moved slowly and cautiously.

Zhao Ziqian moved like this for nearly half an hour before he vaguely saw the exit, and he was quick to find that there was someone guarding the exit. He stooped down and picked up a pebble on the ground, and threw it out of the exit with all his might, and the guard ran in the direction of the pebble. He took the opportunity to get out of the secret passage and leaped to the branch on the side of the exit to hide.

"I guess it's some snake, rat, insect and ant!" The two guards who followed the voice came back, and one of the guards said.

"It should be! But we still have to cheer up, Miss is here in Colorful Valley today, we must be careful! Another guard replied.

"That's right, Miss just said that let's go to Tinghailou later, saying that we will drink wine and eat meat today, so we don't need to guard here."

In fact, Yi Xiangxiang said that she didn't need to guard it because Colorful Valley was really located in a remote place and no one could find it, and that tunnel was designed by her heart, so it would not be so easy to be discovered. Of course, she didn't expect that even if Mo Wen and Qing Xuan were walking, several of them would be followed!

Colorful Valley?

Zhao Ziqian, who was hidden in the tree, searched in his mind, but found nothing. Although he himself does not set foot in the rivers and lakes, he also has his people in the rivers and lakes, and there is never a sect called Colorful Valley in the information reported!

If he couldn't think about it, he didn't think about it anymore, he didn't delay, and immediately observed it privately, and found that Yi Xiangxiang and the others' horses were tied not far away, and his location should be a valley mouth, with a high vine wall in front of him, and a lot of flowers and plants around. Zhao Ziqian no longer hesitated, turned around and leaped into the valley.

Colorful Valley is very lively today, even when everything is silent, you can still hear laughter, and the most common title in this laughter is "Miss"!

"Hey, why don't you clean up quickly? Miss is here, and the meeting is going to be held today! Zhao Ziqian hid under the eaves of the building at this time, and heard a man in green below say to another person.

"I know, I'm going to deliver some medicine, and I'll go to Tinghailou later!" The person being questioned replied quickly with the medicine in his hand.

At this moment, a young man in red came on the other side, and after hearing their conversation, he said, "Don't be too happy! Miss seems to be disbanding the Joy Pavilion! ”

"Hahaha, Xiao Luo, you don't know this! Our Lord Yaksha said that the Boss, Sister Qing and the other twenty-three Dharma Protectors went to find Miss together and begged Miss not to disband the Joy Pavilion, and it is said that Miss has already agreed! So don't worry, our Joy Pavilion won't disperse! The man in green who was the first to ask said.

The young man named Xiao Luo was overjoyed when he heard it: "Qin Yan, is what you said true?" Tan Lin, did Miss really agree? ”

"Yes, I agreed, and we also said it!" The young man with the medicine replied.

Xiao Luo frowned and said, "Ah, Lord Dragon Girl didn't tell us anything!" ”

Tan Lin opened his mouth to comfort and said, "Lord Dragon Girl doesn't like to talk in the first place, and she may want to surprise you!" Okay, I won't tell you, you should hurry up to Tinghailou, the conference will start soon. I'll give the little guy in the room another dose so that he doesn't get hurt again. ”

Sure enough, as soon as Tan Lin's words were finished, the sound of music sounded in the distance from the Hailou, and the big guys all went there one after another.

"Is it the little brother who was rescued from Qishan?" Xiao Luo still stopped and asked Tan Lin.

Tan Lin nodded and said, "Yes! It took a lot of effort for the adults to save people! ”

After that, the three of them talked for a while before they separated, Xiao Luo and Qin Yu went to Tinghai Tower, and Tan Lin went to the backyard wing.

Zhao Ziqian was still hiding under the eaves, although he didn't make any sound, and his face looked quite calm, but his heart was completely shocked.

Joy Pavilion? Miss? Yi Xiangxiang?

The story instantly became a thread in my mind.

Zhao Ziqian thought of listening to Yi Xiangxiang tell the story of the mermaid on Tongzhou Lake that day, and at that time, he couldn't match Yi Xiangxiang, who was gagging and teasing his sister, with Yi Xiangxiang, who said in the Fusheng Pavilion that "if you don't fight, you fight". Now that he has discovered these secrets behind his back, he feels that Yi Xiangxiang is really good at disguise.

The man in the black robe? Woman in Tsing Yi? Zhao Ziqian suddenly felt ridiculous. He was also blinded by the information reported by Kang Rui, thinking that this Huanxi Pavilion was headed by the two people in black and green clothes. Of course, this can't be blamed on Kang Rui, who would have thought that a young lady raised in the boudoir would be the real master of Huanxi Pavilion!

When Tan Lin's figure was about to disappear around the corner, Zhao Ziqian, who was pensive, moved to follow.

Tan Lin walked outside the side room, stretched out his hand and pushed open the door, he put down the medicine and lit the candle, and found that the man lying on the bed really did not close his eyes.

"It hurts so much that you can't sleep, right? There is no way, your internal and external injuries are very serious, there is no good skin on your body at all, and many pustules can only be picked off with medicine. Our adults have stayed up for several nights in order to treat you, which is his wonderful rejuvenation, if you change someone else, you really can't save you. Tan Lin began to chatter after entering the house.

Zhao Ziqian had already jumped in when Tanlin lit the lamp just now, and he was hiding behind the cabinet at this time, and he had just heard Tanlin say that they had rescued the people from Qishan, and he had a guess in his heart. And at the moment when the light came on, he had already confirmed that the person lying on the bed was his dark guard Shadow Kill.

Tan Lin took the medicine and walked to the side of the collapse and opened his mouth again: "Your external injury is healing, so it is itchy and painful, you have to refrain from scratching it." Come, I'll give you another painkiller so you can sleep more comfortably in the second half of the night. ”

"Outside...... Why is there such a big movement? Shadow Kill asked as he nodded. His face was pale, and his voice was a little unsteady.

"Oh, our young lady is here, and we have a meeting today!" Tan Lin was very happy when he said this.

Shadow Kill remembered that the last moment before he fell unconscious in front of Qishan, he saw a girl telling her subordinates to take him back, and asked, "Is that the girl who saved me?" ”

"Yes, our young lady is good! Although she is not very old, she established the Joy Pavilion and not only saved us, but also helped us all avenge! Tan Lin said that he had already begun to apply ointment to Shadow Slayer's body, and continued to say as he wiped it: "Don't ask so much, anyway, when you are cured, if you want to stay in our Joy Pavilion, I will tell you everything in the Pavilion." If you want to go, you can't know too much, you know? ”

"Will Miss let me go?" Shadow Kill asked excitedly when he heard that he could leave later.

Tan Lin shook his hand and said, "Surely!" Our young lady is very kind and easy to talk to, she wants to dissolve Huanxi Pavilion and let us live freely, but we don't want to disband. In fact, we are quite free now, we can still have a place to stay, a place to eat, and we can learn things from adults, how wonderful! ”

The adult Tan Lin said is the evil spirits of the twenty-four ghosts, and he is a subordinate of the evil spirits. Huanxi Pavilion will specially select some talented children and assign them to the twenty-four ghosts to learn skills from them, and Tan Lin is one of the subordinates who learned medical and poison techniques with evil spirits.

Shadow Kill was poked in the wound by Tan Lin, who shook his hand, and he gasped, and Tan Lin quickly apologized after hearing it.

"It's okay, you seem to like you lady very much?" Shadow Kill endured the pain and pulled out a smile to show that it didn't hurt, and then diverted Tan Lin's attention and asked.

"Well, all the people of our Joy Pavilion like Miss! Although our masters are the boss and the young sister, everyone also regards the young lady as the master in their hearts. It's just that Miss doesn't like us to call her master, so we can only call her Miss like Sister Qing. ”

"Why doesn't she let you call her master?" In Shadow Kill's view, anyone would want to be worshiped as the Lord.

Tan Lin shook his head and said, "I don't know, it seems that the young lady said that the people who were called masters are all villains, and there is nothing to do!" I don't know what the villain means, but if Miss doesn't let me shout, we won't shout! Okay, the medicine has been applied to you, don't touch the wound, I'm going to the conference! ”

Tan Lin listened to the increasingly lively sounds in the distance, couldn't wait to put away his things, and then quickly blew out the lamp and exited the wing room to close the door and leave.
