Chapter 225: Qingfeng Cliff
When Wu Wei and Xiao Zhihan, who were easy to pass, walked out of Mufeng Garden, none of them noticed that something was wrong. And the three people who followed Wu Wei to Mufeng Garden before were naturally disguised by Yan Xi as the three of them at this time, and stayed in Mufeng Garden.
When he was about to arrive at the front hall, Wu Wei's complexion changed, his face was gloomy, and he walked out scolding. Even when Steward Chen greeted him, he acted as if he hadn't heard it, and walked straight out.
"General Wu." Seeing Wu Wei coming out with people, the Praetorian Guards guarding the door immediately saluted him.
Wu Wei waved his hand and said impatiently, "A few of you have guarded this place, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without the emperor's decree." General Ben went back first, and if there is any situation, come to the General's Mansion in time to inform General Ben! ”
"Yes." The guards guarding the door nodded yes, and watched Wu Wei leave with Xiao Zhihan and a few people after the disguise.
Wu Wei has always had a black face, and those who knew that Wu Wei had entered the Ming Palace's Mansion to find trouble, when they saw his face, they all guessed that he had suffered a loss in front of Xiao Zhihan.
With a few people behind him swaggering around a few bustling streets, Wu Wei returned to the mansion slowly.
When they arrived at Wu Wei's General's Mansion, Yan Xi and the three of them changed into plain clothes and left through the back door of the General's Mansion without alarming anyone. After leaving, a few people rested in a teahouse near the city gate, and when it was a little darker, the three of them pretended to be in a hurry and hurried out of the city.
There was a small pavilion five miles outside the city gate, and three horses with excellent foot strength were tethered to the pavilion. There were several bags on the horse's back, which contained some change of clothes and some of the things they would use on a daily basis.
The three of them turned over their horses and took advantage of the night to head towards the northwest of the capital.
"Xiao Zhihan, I've followed you all the way, you should always tell me, where are you going to take me?" Yan Xi rode on the back of the horse and said to Xiao Zhihan, who had pulled two horses in front of him.
"Aomine Cliff." Xiao Zhihan didn't look back, but these three words came from the wind.
Feiluan, who was following Yan Xi's side, was stunned when he heard these three words, and looked at Xiao Zhihan's back with some surprise. wanted to say something, but when he saw Xiao Zhihan's back, he didn't say a word after all.
Yan Xi saw Feiluan's slightly changing face with her peripheral vision, and there was a hint of inquiry in her eyes, but her face was silent, pinching the horse's belly, urging the horse to catch up with Xiao Zhihan.
The three of them galloped for four or five hours, and by the time they reached a steep cliff, it was already dark.
When the horses came to a place where there was no way to go in front of the cliff, Xiao Zhihan and the others turned over and dismounted, took the burden on the horse's back, and let the three horses let them leave on their own.
Standing in front of the cliff where there was no way to go, Xiao Zhihan looked at Yan Xi without saying a word. Feiluan knew Xiao Zhihan's intentions, and stood behind Xiao Zhihan and Yan Xi in a regular manner, without saying a word.
"You dare to test me with this little trick?" Yan Xi understood Xiao Zhihan's intentions, but he also felt a little interesting.
Looking around left and right, Yan Xi carefully looked at the surrounding scenery.
They were on the edge of a cliff at this time, with panicked weeds behind them, a bottomless cliff in front of them, and almost nothing else. If there is some kind of mechanism in such a place, there is only one possibility.
I saw that Yan Xi walked to the edge of the cliff, jumped up, and fell straight down.
Yan Xi adjusted his descending posture and looked at the structures on both sides of the cliff. Dozens of meters below the cliff, there were many steps of different sizes. Yan Xi's face was overjoyed, and he lifted his breath and flew towards the steps. Landing on a step, Yan Xi took a step forward, and walked down step by step from that step.
This cliff is shrouded in clouds and mist, and if you don't look closer, there will be no road on this cliff. Even at this time, if someone sees Yan Xi walking on the cliff, they will definitely think that they are dazzled, otherwise, how can they see someone walking on the cliff?
After walking down the artificially carved steps on the cliff for about a quarter of an hour, Yan Xi finally went down to the bottom of the cliff.
There is a stone stele erected at the bottom of the cliff, and several large characters are carved on the stele, "Qingfeng Cliff." ”
Next to the big characters of "Qingfeng Cliff", these blood-red characters are carved, "The trespasser is dead." ”
Looking at this stone stele, Yan Xi couldn't help but feel a little funny. Who would have thought that the Qingfeng Cliff was not on the cliff, but hidden under the cliff covered by clouds and mist?
"Those who trespass on Qingfeng Cliff will be killed!" Yan Xi was looking at Qingfeng Cliff when he suddenly heard a scolding from behind him. When she turned around, she saw a young man dressed in white holding a long sword and stabbing at her with murderous intent.
"It's really angry." Yan Xi muttered, tiptoed a little, and took a few steps back, avoiding the long sword of the white-clothed young man.
The young man in white saw Yan Xi's evasive steps, and a solemn look appeared on his face.
What is the intention of this woman with advanced kung fu to come here?
Thinking of the secrets hidden in the Qingfeng Cliff, the young man in white changed and continued to attack Yan Xi.
No matter what kind of mind this woman has, no matter who she is, there is only one way to die if she dares to trespass on Qingfeng Cliff!
Yan Xi deliberately tried this young man in white, so he deliberately concealed his identity, took out the autumn water cold and greeted him.
"Qiang ......"
Qiu Shui Han and the long sword of the young man in white collided, but in an instant, the long sword of the young man in white was cut in two by Qiu Shui Han. The young man in white was also slapped by Yan Xi's subsequent palm, and he took several steps back.
"Who the hell are you?" The young man in white's face changed drastically and asked out loud.
"Finally remembered to ask who I am?" Yan Xi showed a smile on his face, took out a jade pendant from his arms, shook it in front of the young man in white, and asked a little playfully, "Do you recognize this thing?" If you don't know, then let's keep fighting. ”
This jade pendant was a token given to her by Xiao Zhihan when she was in Fengcheng. Xiao Zhihan said that this jade pendant can directly command the eight departments of the Ming Palace.
Seeing this jade pendant, the young man in white was shocked, and immediately knelt down in front of Yan Xi, and said respectfully, "Zhang Yu has seen the girl. I didn't know the identity of the girl, and I was offended, so I asked the girl to forgive me. ”
Listening to Zhang Yu's words, Yan Xi raised her eyebrows. No wonder she was discovered by Zhang Yu as soon as she came, it turned out that this Zhang Yu was actually a person from the Dubu Department.
When she was in Pingcheng, Xiao Zhihan once told her that the eight departments of the Ming Wangfu had their own strengths. This is the second department, which is specifically responsible for investigation. Whether it's intelligence or terrain scouting, they're one of the best.
Yan Xi shook the jade pendant in his hand and asked, "Aren't you worried that I grabbed this jade pendant?" ”
Zhang Yu's complexion did not change at all, he looked at Yan Xi, and said with a straight face, "If it weren't for the prince to hand over this token to the girl, the girl would not have had a chance to walk to this Qingfeng Cliff alive." ”
"You have confidence in your lord." Yan Xi glanced at Zhang Yu, raised his head, looked at the cliff, and shouted loudly, "Xiao Zhihan, have you seen enough?" ”
As soon as Yan Xi's words fell, Xiao Zhihan and Feiluan slowly walked down from the top of the steps.
As soon as Zhang Yu saw these two people, he immediately saluted the two of them, "Zhang Yu of the Ministry of Redemption, I have seen the prince, and I have seen the commander of Feiluan." ”
Xiao Zhihan glanced at Zhang Yu and motioned for him to get up.
Zhang Yu stood up and walked in the front, leading the way for Xiao Zhihan and the others. While walking forward, Zhang Yu told Xiao Zhihan about the situation in Qingfeng Cliff. Xiao Zhihan didn't respond, just listened quietly.
Zhang Yu pushed aside a densely growing vine at the bottom of the cliff, and a cave that only allowed one person to go straight appeared in front of several people.
"Lord Wang, please." Zhang Yu climbed the vine with his hand and said to Xiao Zhihan.
Xiao Zhihan walked in from the entrance of the cave, and Yan Xi and Feiluan also followed closely behind him. After the three of them walked in, Zhang Yu continued to block the entrance of the cave with dense vines before following behind the three of them.
In the cave, every other distance, there is a night pearl inlaid on the cave wall. Although the number of night pearls is not much, in this dim cave, it also provides a little light.
After walking for about two incense sticks, there was a burst of light in front of the cave, and some human voices could be faintly heard.
Yan Xi followed Xiao Zhihan to the light, only to feel that his eyes suddenly opened up.
I saw that outside this cave, there was a camp. At the gate of the camp, several sentries were patrolling with spears, and when they saw Xiao Zhihan coming, several people looked happy and immediately knelt down and saluted.
Xiao Zhihan didn't stop, and walked straight to the camp.
The further he walked in, the more Yan Xi felt that Xiao Zhihan was not as poor as he looked on the surface. If he really didn't have any money, how could he open up such a place for military training in the belly of this Qingfeng Cliff. And there are thousands of people in this Qingfeng Cliff, to say the least. Raising these people is definitely a lot of money.
It's no wonder that when she slaughtered Xiao Zhihan before, Feiying and Liang Zhao were full of reluctance, and the source of this was actually here.
When Xiao Zhihan walked to the largest camp tent with Yan Xi, the voices of several people came from Yan Xi's ears.
"Subordinates participate in the prince."
Hearing the sound, there were four men and two women half-kneeling in the tent between them, all looking at Xiao Zhihan with respectful faces.
"Get up." Xiao Zhihan waved his hand and asked the few people who were kneeling on the ground to get up. Then he bypassed them and took Yan Xi to sit on the main seat.
"Lord Wang, I don't know who this girl is?" A rough-looking man in the camp tent glanced at Yan Xi and asked. Several other people also had some doubts in their eyes when they looked at Yan Xi.
"Take out the jade pendant." Xiao Zhihan glanced at Yan Xi and said in a deep voice.
Yan Xi nodded and took out the jade pendant. Seeing that the faces of the six people in the camp had changed, Yan Xi didn't need Xiao Zhihan to remind him, and used his internal force to urge the mechanism in the jade pendant.
I saw that the originally plain jade pendant suddenly divided into countless concentric rings, and all the concentric rings began to rotate in different directions. When the concentric rings on the jade pendant stopped rotating, a new pattern appeared on the jade pendant. At first glance, the pattern looked like a dragon, but on closer inspection, the body clearly resembled a jackal.
The six people in the tent all gasped, and the prince even gave her a jade pendant.
