Chapter 7: The Encounter in the Camp of the Dead
Although she was slapped by Ye Lan'er and got a promise that she would do whatever she was asked to do, theoretically she didn't have to feel guilty about giving Ye Lan'er to Murong Ke, but Prince Murong Yan's heart was still depressed and panicked.
Pacing back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back, carefully recalling every bit of his relationship with Ye Lan'er.
Three days ago, he went to inspect the camp of the dead in Yufeng Mountain.
The Dead Soldiers' Camp is a secret camp set up by his cronies, which is filled with orphans who have no father or mother since childhood, and death row prisoners with brutal personalities.
According to the harsh training method of only one person for every thirty people, the intention is to create a cold and sharp secret weapon for himself.
Just three days ago, the latest batch of results was about to come out, and Murong Yan personally went to accept it.
In the iron cage with five feet in length, width and height, the scrawny No. 1 with withered hair and concealed his face put down the twenty-nine who were sent into the cage.
The rules are simple and crude, enter the cage according to the serial number, or die or kill everything in the cage.
If No. 1 can successfully end his thirty lives, what awaits him is not only the golden beauty, but also the absolute dependence of Shangfeng.
It's just that after killing twenty-eight opponents and former partners of comparable strength in a row, No. 1 is exhausted, lying motionless on the ground, and also dead.
Sima Ping, the head of the Dead Soldier Camp and also Murong Yan's henchman, smacked his lips, leaned over and said: "Your Highness, the level of this number has always been top-notch in the Dead Soldier Camp, but my luck was too bad, and I got the first one, and I was the first to enter." In this next level, even if he is an immortal, I am afraid that he will not be able to pass it. Your Highness, look at ......"
Sima Ping was a little sorry for his talents, but before he finished speaking, he immediately bowed his head and arched his hand in front of the sharp eyes of the prince, and did not dare to continue.
Murong Yan snorted coldly: "Rules are rules, I don't care about any luck!" He is not bad, but he is not half a star away from the Su Yu beside Murong Ke! That's it, you still want to ask the king for mercy? ”
Sima Ping quietly wiped the sweat from his nose: "His Royal Highness taught you a lesson." ”
At this moment, a guard ran in, leaned on Sima Ping's ear and muttered for a while.
Murong Yan was displeased: "What is something I can't know!" ”
The guard quickly straightened up, and then knelt down on one knee: "Your Highness, a suspicious person has been found at the entrance of the camp, and we have arrested him and are waiting to be dealt with. ”
When Murong Yan heard this, his face became even more ugly: "This matter still needs to be reported?" Kill it! Sima Ping, how do you usually train your subordinates? ”
When the guard heard that he had been involved with the chief, he immediately touched the ground with his forehead: "Your Highness is angry!" The woman was still mute, so she wouldn't be a threat, and we wanted to keep her down to do some mending and washing chores, so we ......."
Murong Yan snorted coldly: "Sima Ping! Don't forget who gave the power and everything in your hands! This dead soldier camp is under your control, but it doesn't mean that it has the surname Sima! ”
Sima Ping knew that his brother's guards had violated Murong Yan's taboo by defending themselves. And although this dead battalion was under his own hands, Murong Yan still arranged ear and eye monitoring. The selfishness in the camp, he will not be unclear.
Sima Ping kicked the guard in the chest: "If you want to play with women, you can share the time!" Don't get out of here! ”
Then he knelt down at Murong Yan's feet: "It's the fault of his subordinates, ask His Highness to punish him." ”
Murong Yan saw that his attitude was respectful, and he still looked like a slave before, his anger subsided, and he said casually: "Bring that woman and throw her into the cage." ”
So, Ye Lan'er's hands were tied, and the guard behind her walked forward with the handle of the knife against her back.
She grew up in Yufeng Mountain, and she knew everything in the mountains, but she didn't know that there was a small army secretly trained under this cliff.
She thought she was going to get hurt as she slid down the hill, but she landed on a huge soft straw mat and strayed into this hidden world.
For a moment the novelty was greater than the fear, and she staggered along as she looked around.
The simple wooden barracks, the coarse cloth clothes hanging from the ropes, and the neatly stacked weapons of all kinds in a flat school yard, Ye Lan'er would almost feel that this is an isolated village.
The guards led her into a cave.
The entrance is only the width of a horse-drawn carriage, but it is very open and bright. The shadows of the torches were heavy, and the guards stood straight, and the broadsword in their hands flashed with cold light.
Tripped under his feet, his shoulder was pushed, and Ye Lan'er fell.
Behind him, the iron door slammed shut, followed by the click of a lock.
Ye Lan'er found that she was locked in a big cage, and there was a person under her body.
He lay face up on the cold rocks, his long messy hair covering his face.
Up and down his body, it seemed that someone had been holding a blade for a long time, and the hideous scars were shocking.
Ye Lan'er reached out and put her hand on the artery in his neck and breathed a sigh of relief.
This man is still saved.
After looking around to make sure that no one was staring at this side, Ye Lan'er stretched out her hand and pressed the sword wound on the left side of her heart. It is also the most seriously injured by this person.
At this time, Ye Lan'er was still the innocent girl who grew up in the depths of the mountains. She knows that she has the ability to heal injuries and save people, and she never hesitates to use this ability.
There are countless birds and beasts in the mountains and forests that she has rescued, but this is only the second time she has saved people.
Because Ye Lan'er has grown so big, she has hardly seen anyone.
Number One seemed to sense something strange in his body and snapped open his eyes.
Ye Lan'er saw that under the dry hair, a pair of clear eyes were staring at her with an inquiring gaze, very similar to the eyes of the injured tiger before.
She put the index finger of her other hand on her lips and made a silent gesture.
"Thirty, you're lucky, go in and kill No. 1 and that woman, and I'll take you into the mansion to do things."
Thirty heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince make such a promise, and his lips trembled with excitement.
Entering the Prince's Mansion and becoming the Prince's secret guard is the dream of everyone in the Dead Soldiers' Camp. Because that not only means that you can not be cannon fodder for the dead, but also very likely to become the confidant of the crown prince, the future son of heaven!
Thirty turned to look at the two people in the cage, one was lying half-dead on the ground and could not move, and the woman was extremely beautiful, looking fragile and vulnerable.
The third is to decide, or to solve the standing one first.
The cage's iron door opened heavily and then closed. Ye Lan'er noticed that a muscular, bearded man came in bare-chested.
His bulging eyes swept around Ye Lan'er, his tongue licked his chapped lips, and he swallowed his saliva. Then he reached out and pinched Ye Lan'er's neck with lightning speed.
Ye Lan'er didn't figure out the situation at all, and was stunned by the sudden attack.
With a pull on his wrist, No. 1 lying on the ground bounced up, blocking Ye Lan'er behind him.
Thirty didn't expect that No. 1 would be able to stand up after killing twenty-eight well-trained dead soldiers, and he couldn't help but slow down when he stared at him and the aura of death emanating from his body.
Number One would not give up this opportunity, he grabbed the oncoming fist, twisted it fiercely, and the other hand struck at the same time, and the steel thorn hidden between his fingers "poofed" and pierced his eyes.
Thirty faced the number one who stood up, as if he had seen an evil ghost from hell, suddenly attacked, the fear in his heart reached the extreme, he completely forgot to defend, covered his eyes and knelt on the ground, before the wail came out, his throat was slashed, and blood splattered out, like a rain of blood in the sky.
Where had Ye Lan'er seen such a bloody scene, she was almost so frightened that she lost half her life.
She stuck to the wall of the cage, unable to shout, and could only slap the cage with all her might, trying to get out of this horrible place.
No. 1 walked over and grabbed Ye Lan'er, who was almost crazy, but Ye Lan'er still treated him as a person, completely avoiding him like a snake and scorpion, punching, kicking and tearing to prevent him from approaching.
During the tearing, Ye Lan'er's neckline opened slightly, revealing the red mole in the middle of her collarbone.
And Murong Yan, who had already walked closer, recognized her through the mole.
Originally, this Yufeng Mountain was inaccessible, and a woman came out of thin air, and she carried such a mole. Murong Yan thought about it for a while, and immediately made a reasonable association.
When Ye Lan'er was released and looked at it carefully, Ye Lan'er first confirmed that this was the little brother she had saved ten years ago, and hugged him while crying.
……
Murong Yan recalled the warm girlish hug, and the corners of his mouth slightly arced.
At that time, Ye Lan'er was unreservedly trusting and dependent on him, she was so innocent, bold and enthusiastic.
Ye Lan'er grew up in the mountains and wilderness, and Aunt Ye, who took care of her, never taught her secular etiquette, so she didn't guard against men and women.
Murong Yan sat in the circle chair and knocked on the armrests again and again, thinking that maybe it was because she suddenly knew her identity and was frightened by the crown princess that she would refuse herself like that.
Thinking like this, he couldn't sit still anymore and walked towards the side courtyard.
When I arrived at the side courtyard, I realized that Ye Lan'er had already been taken to Xiangxue Pavilion by her mother-in-law.
Murong Yan flicked his sleeves and quickened his pace to Xiangxue Pavilion.
It's already midday, and the big kitchen in the house has already begun to put food.
Ye Lan'er didn't eat since the morning, and missed the meal at noon, and the kitchen refused to put the meal.
Ye Lan'er thought that in this ancient society, the kitchen not only has a lot of oil and water, but also a lot of power, as long as your status is not good, they have a hundred ways to starve you.
So in the evening, she deliberately took out the beads from several boxes that looked more valuable and stuffed them to Xiaohong, asking her to go and get the meal.
Xiaohong looked at the shiny Dongzhu and grew her mouth: "Girl, you really don't know the goods, let me bribe the kitchen with such a baby?" It's also a waste. ”
Hearing that this bead was very valuable, Ye Lan'er was really reluctant. But thinking that his little body might hang up again if he was hungry for a day, he gritted his teeth and stuffed it into Xiaohong, and pushed her hand.
Xiaohong looked into her eyes: "You mean, let me go out and exchange it for silver?" ”
Ye Lan'er nodded vigorously.
Xiaohong sighed: "Girl, don't be whimsical, the rules of our Prince's Mansion are so strict, and they are not worse than the palace." Without tokens, how can you come in and out casually? You keep the beads, don't worry about the kitchen, I have a godmother there, I heard that she came back from outside in the afternoon, I went to look for her, it shouldn't be short of us. I went first. ”
