Chapter 150: Re-entry into the Valley of Death
On the outskirts of the city, on the shore of Xingyue Lake, under the willow trees, two spirited old men played a game while fishing.
A horse-drawn carriage was parked not far away.
"Lord Wang, the Duke of Dingguo and the Lord Hou are over there." Bai Ze stood beside the carriage and said to the people inside.
Shangguan Jueshi pushed the car door, walked down, and said lightly: "You are waiting here." β
"Yes."
Shangguan peerless Chao Dingguo Gong walked over.
"Cannon."
"Flying elephants."
"I'll eat you."
"General."
Patronizing the Dingguo Gong, who was eating well, he was not careful for a while, and was generalized by the opponent. He frowned and sighed in annoyance, "I lost." β
Qi Houye smiled: "I also lost a game to you just now, and now it's a draw." β
"Again." Ding Guogong said with great interest, suddenly the fishing rod moved, and quickly turned around, put away the fishing line, saw a small fish on the hook, and said happily: "Another fish is hooked." β
Qi Houye stroked his white beard, frowned, and said, "Why is it morning, I haven't caught a single fish." β
Ding Guogong put the fish in the bucket and said, "Maybe I think your bait is too stingy." β
"As the saying goes, people see benefits but do not see harm, and fish see food but do not see hooks. It's a great accompaniment to the snack. A joking voice interjected.
They looked over and looked at the visitor in surprise.
"Yo, isn't this the Nine Princes?" Qi Hou got up to greet him.
Shangguan peerless came to them and respectfully bowed: "Father-in-law, waiting for the master." β
"Shangguan, why are you here?" Dingguo asked.
Shangguan Jueshi said with a smile: "There is nothing to do today, so I will accompany my father-in-law, so that you will always say that I am not filial." β
Ding Guogong sneered disapprenously: "I don't know you kid yet, you don't have anything to do to go to the Three Treasures Palace, you have this idle effort, you have long been drowning in the gentle township, how would you think of me as a bad old man." β
Qi Hou teased: "I will accompany you all day long, where to continue the incense and spread the branches." β
"If it's really good to think about it, I'm afraid he won't be able to settle down. The eldest is not small, you see that among the peers, the other princes have a group of wives and concubines, and their children are under their knees, and he is still alone, hanging his children all day long. "Dingguo Gong took the opportunity to count.
Shangguan Jue looked unembarrassed, sat down calmly, and said bluntly: "This matter, if you are not in a hurry, it depends on fate." If he can do it, his father-in-law will not keep that obsession, and until now, he is still walking alone. β
Ding Guogong glared at him, "You stinky boy, what nonsense!" The old face was stiff, and there was a faint hint of a suspicious flush that had been poked at the center.
Qi Hou also smiled knowingly. He also knows about Dingguogong's youth.
Don't look at him as a big old man, but he is also a very dedicated and long-term idiot. It's a pity that fate makes people!
"Tell me, why are you here?" Dingguo Gong bluntly changed the subject.
Shangguan Jueshi knew that his father-in-law was shy, so he didn't continue on this topic, and said his meaning straight to the point: "Father-in-law, I actually asked you about someone when I came this time. β
Ding Guogong had a "I know" expression.
"Who are you going to inquire?"
Shangguan Peerless did not shy away from Qi Hou, and directly said the name: "Li Xiuyan." β
Li Xiuyanββ
As soon as they heard this name, the faces of Ding Guogong and Qi Hou changed, as if they were shocked, stunned and confused.
Shangguan peerless looked at their reactions and knew that they must have known each other.
They looked at each other and were silent for a long time. No one was silent, as if it were a taboo subject.
"Father-in-law, Qi Hou, you know this person." He asked affirmatively.
Qi Hou glanced at Dingguo Gong, then turned to Shangguan Peerless, hesitated, and asked, "What are you asking for?" β
Dingguo Gong also asked, "Where did you know about this person?" β
Shangguan Jueshi asked, "Who is he?" β
They fell silent again.
Shangguan Jueshi said: "Don't hide it from my father-in-law, in fact, I saw this person not long ago. β
"What!" They were stunned and spoke in unison.
"Have you seen Li Xiuyan?" Ding Guogong stood up in disbelief.
Qi Hou was also slightly excited.
Shangguan Jueshi frowned slightly, "Qi Hou, father-in-law, is he?" β
It took them a long time to calm their shock.
Ding Guogong asked eagerly, "Where did you meet him?" β
Shangguan Peerless thought for a moment before saying, "In the Valley of Death, I was imprisoned in a cave. He said his name was Li Xiuyan. From his words, it seems that he has a lot to do with the first emperor. So I came back to check, but for this person, I couldn't find any identity background. β
Shangguan Jueshi paused, looked at them, and said, "It seems that someone deliberately destroyed all his relevant clues. β
"Death Valley...... It turns out that he is not dead, trapped in Death Valley. Dingguo Gong muttered.
Qi Hou also looked surprised: "After so many years, he actually ......"
"Who is this Li Xiuyan?"
Ding Guogong looked at him and asked, "Why do you want to know this person?" β
Shangguan Jue was silent and said, "Because he ...... When he was in the cave, he mistook Feng Qingge for Susu. This Su Su must be the prime minister's wife. β
They looked at each other with solemn expressions. It's like hesitating, not knowing whether to say it or not.
Shangguan peerless said: "Feng Qingge has already seen this person. If she is allowed to find out the truth by herself, I am afraid that by then she will be blindly running around like a headless fly, and things will only get bigger and bigger. β
They frowned, pondering. For a long time, he let out a long sigh.
Dingguo said: "Alas, I didn't expect that after so many years, this person would be brought up again." β
"It seems that this is the will of heaven, and Feng Qingge actually met him." Qi Hou also sighed.
Ding Guogong took a sip of the tea in his hand, moistened his throat, and said slowly: "Here's how it ......."
ββββββββββ
It's a long and long story.
After Shangguan listened to it, an hour had passed.
In the end, when they asked Li Xiuyan about his whereabouts, he was worried, so he temporarily concealed it: "When we saw him, he was already dying, and he must have died. β
They didn't seem to suspect anything, as if they felt that he was dead, but it was a relief.
Shangguan peerless sat in the carriage, his expression was calm, his eyebrows were slightly frowned, and he was contemplative.
He didn't expect that the ghost-faced strange man in the cave would have such a grudge with the former emperor.
The carriage stopped, and Shangguan was still unaware. Until a low call came from outside: "Lord Wang, it's here." β
Shangguan came back to his senses, gathered his thoughts, stretched his brows, and adjusted his mood before getting out of the carriage.
He thought about it and thought about it, and decided not to tell her for the time being.
glanced at the door, thinking about the ghost girl in the house, and couldn't help but hook the corners of her mouth. The steps taken can't help but be brisk and eager.
Previously, for him, the mansion was just a big house to perch on, nothing more. And now, because I have someone I want to meet, I have an expectation of going home.
For the first time, this big mansion has the definition of "home".
Bai Ze secretly looked at his master's unconscious sweet smile, and couldn't help but get goosebumps.
He is really not used to this look.
Although he has no experience, he can also conclude from his expression - the prince has fallen in.
The magic of love, no matter how great a person is, he can't resist it!
β¦β¦
Shangguan Jueshi didn't even bother to eat, and walked to her villa as soon as he returned home. Even, forgetting that there is another woman in the house.
It's just that when he came to the other garden, he pounced.
He frowned. Where did this wild girl go?
He called the pothos and asked, but he didn't know.
"Why don't you follow her when she goes out?" Shangguan's peerless displeasure questioned.
Luluo lowered her head in fear, and said in a snort: "The ninth girl was with the prince this morning, and she didn't bring a slave or maid. So...... So when did the nine girls go out, the slaves don't know......"
Bai Ze said: "Lord Wang, she doesn't have much to do outside, maybe she went to King Shuo's Mansion."
Shangguan peerless pondered for a moment and ordered, "You go to King Shuo's Mansion to have a look." It's so late, if there's nothing going on, let her come back early. β
"Yes."
β¦β¦
And Ah Jiu finished tricking Nangong Li, and when he couldn't move, he fled.
At this time, she was in the valley of death.
With an experience, Ah Jiu already has a good understanding of the terrain here, and he is prepared so that he will not get lost.
Although the sky was dark, the forest had become eerie, and she was a little stunned, but when she thought of Dabao's whereabouts and uncertain life and death, she couldn't care so much.
Ah Jiu thought to himself, if Dabao didn't know the entrance, then it was possible to come down directly from the cliff in the peerless way of the official.
However, Shangguan's peerless skills are extraordinary, and he still has colors on his body. Isn't that a great treasure more dangerous?
Ah Jiu was nervous, don't have any accidents!
She went to the place where she had fallen and searched for it first, but found no trace, and followed the route she had taken last time.
Ah Jiu always thought that the white python was the leader of the snake group. It can be seen that the white python has no attack on her, and it can even be called respectful, she thought to herself, maybe that spirit snake is the snake king. And she ate the spirit snake, probably because she had the breath of the spirit snake on her body, so let the snakes be afraid.
With the experience of the last time, Ah Jiu was not worried at all when he passed through the snake forest.
Even, afraid that Dabao would accidentally enter the snake forest and be eaten, she even went to the white python to question.
I don't know if it can understand it or not, but looking at the white python's reaction, she has a strange intuition in her heart that Dabao should not have been killed here.
However, Death Valley is simply too big and the terrain is too complicated. She searched everywhere she walked last time, but found nothing. Where she had never been, she didn't dare to act rashly because it was too dark.
After thinking about it carefully, she decided to find a place to rest for the night, and then go somewhere else at dawn.
Ah Jiu went to the waterfall, and felt that the view there was wide and the environment was relatively safe. Second, she was very curious about the person in the cave.
Last time, I was confused by his words, and I didn't ask anything clearly.
The cave had been destroyed, so she walked in unobstructed.
Dense group of snakes, see her, detour.
It seemed that there was an illusion of being above the snakes, which made her Mo Ming feel a sense of pride and pride.
Even naively fantasized that if he had the special ability to drive snakes, it would be even more bullish.
She thought to herself as she walked into the deep hole.
It's still a dark and cold environment. The people in the cave heard footsteps, and a rough and hoarse voice suddenly sounded: "Who! β
