Chapter 374: Calculating Chen Minghui
Bai Youlan glanced at Gu Xiaoran, who was squatting beside her, and reached out to pick up a grass root from the ground, which was in a footprint, and most of it was trampled into the snow.
Gu Xiaoran naturally noticed her actions, looked at the grass root in confusion, and then said: "It's just a broken grass root, this can also be seen to be related to Chen Minghui?" ”
"Xiaoran." Luo Mingxuan's voice came from behind them: "Take a closer look, it's not near this Shadow Merchant Cliff. ”
Well?
Hearing this, Gu Xiaoran took the grass root suspiciously, and looked at the ground that looked messy after a fight, and found that it was really the case, it was impossible for the dead grass exposed in the snow to have such grass roots.
But that doesn't seem to mean anything, does it? Gu Xiaoran was still confused.
Bai Youlan stood up, looked at Gu Xiaoran as if she was looking at an idiot, and said, "You don't know poison, naturally you don't know, this grassroots is actually not a simple grassroots root, but a taste of the poison under the control of Fengyu Louguan." ”
Turning back to the horse, Bai Youlan continued: "The reason why this grassroots was inadvertently brought here by those two people is precisely because Chen Minghui lacked manpower at this time and the poison was not fully produced, so this situation would occur. ”
When she said this, Gu Xiaoran was cheerful, not so much that King Duan was unwilling to end up dying, it was better to say that Chen Minghui was using the remaining power in King Duan's hands, and it was very likely that these people were originally arranged by Chen Minghui under King Duan, so he took the risk to use it at this time to investigate Luo Mingxuan's whereabouts, but he couldn't rest assured that there would be incomplete poison to control these people.
Gu Xiaoran clapped her hands and said, "Shall we catch a few more to play?" ”
Hearing him say this, Luo Mingxuan knew that he must have understood his thoughts, and immediately nodded and said, "Wait a minute." ”
With Luo Mingxuan's words, a lonely wild cat meow came, and after a while, I saw a few people bring a few clothes, just like the thunder and drizzle just now, exactly the same as Duan Wang's men.
At Luo Mingxuan's signal, the people who sent the clothes put those clothes on their bodies, and Gu Xiaoran dressed up the same, only Luo Mingxuan and Bai Youlan did not move.
Gu Xiaoran looked at the black clothes on her body with disgust, and said dissatisfiedly: "It's really ugly......"
However, dissatisfied to dissatisfied, Gu Xiaoran quickly packed up, and then stood with those few people, and said to Luo Mingxuan: "After we set off for half an hour, you can just follow." ”
With that, a few people galloped away.
The group ate something at the foot of the mountain, and then Ben Lei found a place to hide the horses, and then hid their figures, followed behind Luo Mingxuan and Bai Youlan, and climbed towards the Shadow Merchant Cliff.
As soon as they came halfway up the mountain, they received the news of the people who set off with Gu Xiaoran, and said a direction, and several people immediately rushed there.
When I got there, I saw a few drops of blood on the ground, a pile of messy footprints, and nothing else.
Luo Mingxuan's expression tightened slightly, while Bai Youlan looked at the few drops of blood and said, "Could it be that Chen Minghui has already seen through Gu Xiaoran and them, and poisoned them?" ”
Luo Mingxuan frowned lightly, and after waiting for a while, Ben Lei flashed and appeared, and reported: "Lord Wang, news came from the lightning that Gu Gongzi and the others failed to see Chen Minghui but encountered the Jade Toad Scholar, and Gu Gongzi is still in the hands of the Jade Toad Scholar. ”
Hearing this, Bai Youlan knew in her heart that although Gu Xiaoran and the others pretended to be Duan Wang's subordinates, whether they had ever taken the poison from the hands of the Jade Toad Scholar, the Jade Toad Scholar could identify it, and she also blamed her for her carelessness just now, mistakenly thinking that the Jade Toad Scholar at this time should be seriously injured and recuperating, and did not make detailed preparations.
"Drizzle, you lead people to continue to track the Jade Toad Scholar, be sure to save Gu Xiaoran."
Bai Youlan commanded decisively, and at the same time took out some medicine and gave it to Drizzle, ensuring that he would not suffer too much loss once he faced the Jade Toad Scholar.
Knowing that going by himself was the most correct choice, Drizzle did not hesitate at all, took the medicine given by Bai Youlan, glanced at the breeze, and immediately led someone to follow him away.
Luo Mingxuan kept looking at the darkness in the distance, as if thinking about something.
"Luo, don't you think it looks like Scholar Jade Toad and the others are distracting us?"
"He is really trying to attract our attention, but his purpose is not to distract, but to create the illusion that Chen Minghui is no longer in the Shadow Merchant Cliff."
Nodding slightly, Bai Youlan also understood, since they began to climb up the mountain, they had received news from the people under their hands from time to time, and they had already found a few traces of the people in the Wind and Rain Building, although they quickly got rid of their tracking.
Now, even the whereabouts of the Jade Toad scholar were exposed so quickly, and he even took Gu Xiaoran hostage, but there was no whereabouts of Chen Minghui from beginning to end.
It's just that they think this will allow Chen Minghui to escape?
Bai Youlan didn't know what kind of arrangements Luo Mingxuan had made, but she could feel the confidence in his chest from him.
"Let's go."
Luo Mingxuan suddenly grabbed Bai Youlan, incorporated her into his cloak, shielded her from all the cold wind, and jumped up to the treetops and galloped quickly.
A little warmth came from his body, Bai Youlan took a deep breath, but didn't ask anything, and let him take her forward quickly.
Finally, Luo Mingxuan stopped, and Bai Youlan came out of his cloak and looked around, but he was slightly stunned at this look.
They were actually in a cave, but they didn't know what was in this cave, and it was as bright as day even though there was no pearl.
Feeling that her hand was being held, Bai Youlan followed Luo Mingxuan forward, turned a corner, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned when she saw what came into view.
"It's ...... What was used by the queen mother? ”
Bai Youlan pointed to the nine-tailed phoenix hairpin, she had seen it on the head of Empress An Ruo in the ice coffin, almost exactly the same as this, these two nine-tailed phoenix hairpins were obviously a pair.
"Hmm." Luo Mingxuan responded lightly, took a few steps forward, and said: "Not only this nine-tailed phoenix hairpin, but also those books are also the queen's favorite during her lifetime, these ......"
As he spoke, Luo Mingxuan didn't know what mechanism he had touched, and the wall next to him shook a few times, spitting out a few stones, and there were many items placed on them.
Taking in the styles of these things one by one, Bai Youlan suddenly had an epiphany: "Chen Minghui knows that there is such a cave here, doesn't he?" ”
"Yes, and he has already obtained an item, which is a letter that the Queen Mother once wrote to her cousin Lin Xiaohui."
Sure enough, it is no wonder that Luo Mingxuan is sure that Chen Minghui will definitely be near this film merchant cliff and will not leave here, and it is no wonder that when he learned that Chen Minghui had fallen into a state of madness and that there was a jade toad scholar by his side, he would doubt Chen Minghui's next move.
It's just because the Jade Toad scholar is not Chen Minghui, he knows very well the influence of these things on Chen Minghui, how could he not take advantage of Chen Minghui's delirium to take him away from here.
But......
"Luo, hasn't Chen Minghui found this place yet?"
"No, what you can't get is the best."
nodded secretly, but Bai Youlan still asked, "Then what are you going to do now?" ”
Before Luo Mingxuan could answer, the voice of thunder came, and said: "Lord Wang, I have already connected with lightning, and Chen Minghui's trace disappeared near here, I am afraid that I have already found the entrance to this cave." ”
"Tell me to go down, don't startle the snake, but you must try to prevent Chen Minghui from coming here in every possible way."
"Yes, Lord Wang, my subordinates understand."
It's called obstruction, but it's not really obstruction, it's just using this process to consume Chen Minghui's few remaining subordinates.
Before long, the breeze came to report again: "Lord Wang, the drizzle has found the Jade Toad scholar, but there is no chance to rescue Gu Gongzi." ”
"How's Xiaoran doing?"
The breeze showed a slightly unbearable expression and said, "Poisoned and unconscious." ”
Luo Mingxuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he ordered: "Reveal the news of Chen Minghui's insistence on coming here to the Jade Toad Scholar, and tell him that Gu Xiaoran is alive, and Chen Minghui will have a glimmer of life, otherwise Gu Xiaoran will die, and Chen Minghui and the Jade Toad Scholar will all need to be buried with him!" ”
"Yes, Lord Wang!" Breeze immediately turned around to deliver a message to Drizzle, and he knew that the prince was really angry.
Gu Xiaoran repeatedly sacrificed his life to protect the prince when he had no power of his own, and was almost killed by Duanwang and others several times, and took care of the prince when he was poisoned, and always accompanied the prince, this affection is not a brother, but it is better than a brother!
Now that Gu Xiaoran has suffered such a hardship for the sake of the prince's affairs, how can the prince not be angry.
Seeing that everything was arranged in an orderly manner, Luo Mingxuan took Bai Youlan to a stone bed and said, "Take a rest first, it will take a while for Chen Minghui to break through the periphery and arrive here." ”
Bai Youlan nodded, but did not rest immediately, but got up and walked to those items, took all the items in her hand one by one, and looked at them for a while, before lying back on the bed and getting into Luo Mingxuan's arms.
Luo Mingxuan didn't stay with her, but his eyes kept following her who was slowly moving, taking in her every move, and at this time he hugged her tightly in his arms and closed his eyes to rest with her.
I thought I wouldn't fall asleep, but when Bai Youlan opened her eyes again, a few hours had passed!
"Luo," the reason why she had just woken up, Bai Youlan's voice was a little hoarse, "Is there any news from Gu Xiaoran?" I'm afraid the drizzle is not the opponent of the Jade Toad Scholar, I should go for it. ”
As early as when the news came that Gu Xiaoran was taken away by the Jade Toad Scholar, she should have gone in person, otherwise no one would be able to save Gu Xiaoran.
Bai Youlan thought so in her heart, took the water handed over by Luo Mingxuan and drank it slowly, and his voice came to her ears.
He said: "No need, this time Xiaoran will inevitably have to suffer some hardships, but there is no danger to his life, and now the Jade Toad scholar has joined Chen Minghui." ”
"They're already together?" Bai Youlan sat up and said, "I'm afraid that the Jade Toad Scholar will stop Chen Minghui's move. ”
"It's too late to stop it."
Hearing Luo Mingxuan say this, Bai Youlan still had some doubts, but at this time, Ben Lei appeared and said a few words, and she immediately became stunned.
