Chapter 10: The Strange Sound of the Flute
Hearing the shouting, one of them scolded, "Be quiet, do you want to attract all the people?" ”
"Big brother, there seems to be something under the river, and he keeps pulling my trouser legs!" The other man's voice was already a little tangled.
"Did you scrape somewhere? This clothes are troublesome, no matter what, you tear the clothes, hurry up! ”
After a while, there was a tearing sound in the air, and then the footsteps of the two faded away.
When the two of them had already walked away, Wan Jinhai asked, "Lord Tang, should we rush up and kill them all?" ”
Tang Yun waved his hand and whispered, "They plan to stay here for one night, and it is estimated that they plan to leave early in the morning." The two men were still on high alert for now, waiting until they relaxed before they passed. ”
Wan Jinhai pointed to the bridge and said, "The forest behind the Zhenxu Hall is very large, should we go over first?" ”
Tang Yun said: "These people are not familiar with the road, and they probably think that only the bridge can lead to the forest. They must be staring at the wooden bridge, and judging from the map, it seems that there is a path from behind that can go around the back of the woods. We go from there. ”
Tang Yun and Wan Jinhai waited for a cup of tea, and when everything was silent, they lowered their bodies and moved quietly.
The movements of the two were very light and did not make a single sound.
Once it is said, no one has come to this mountain behind the palace. The entire Zhenxu Hall is built on the mountain, and there are often many wild beasts coming down from the mountain on weekdays. Therefore, it was necessary for some attendants to come frequently to see if there were any wild beasts around the mountain.
This trail is rarely known, and only the attendants who go to the back mountain remember it.
Tang Yun found this road on the map, and that map recorded all corners of the entire imperial city, Tang Yun looked at it for a whole hour, and then it was taken away. That is, because he has a two-house walking token, he can get a look.
Stepping on the cold rock, the two walked into the path.
They had to keep their bodies down, it wasn't a road, it was just a trail of a man's step.
The grass around him was already up to the soles of his feet, and there were dense branches on his heads. Both of them moved lightly, walked for a long time, and finally found the figures of the two prisoners.
The two prisoners lay on a huge rock, which was firm and elevated. Even if someone came over with a torch, they couldn't find two people for a while.
One of them was lying on a rock, his head facing the wooden bridge. He could spot any movement coming from the wooden bridge.
Wan Jinhai wiped the cold sweat on his head, if he really passed from the front just now, he would have found out.
Although this place is a barren mountain and the back is very steep, if the two of them are forced to rush to the mountain, it will be tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
Wan Jinhai gave Tang Yun a gesture of inquiry, and Tang Yun waved his hand, signaling to wait.
An hour passed.
The more timid prisoner was already snoring, and the other seemed cautious, but should have been frightened during the day. After waiting for a while, he also fell asleep.
Lurking at night, Tang Yun has done it I don't know how many times. He squatted in the grass, and his whole person seemed to be one with his surroundings, without emitting any breath.
As for Wan Jinhai, he is old, but he still has patience. His eyes were fixed on the two men, and he didn't want to let them escape at this critical time.
They were still waiting, and they didn't notice any changes.
The night wind suddenly blew in the mountains and forests.
It's normal to blow the wind at night. But Tang Yun's brows furrowed suddenly, he had infiltrated the enemy's camp at night countless times to assassinate him, and any changes in the surrounding environment could be felt.
The direction of the wind has changed.
It was not a simple change, but a strong yin wind blowing from the other side of the river.
The dark surface of the water floated in layers of ripples, and the surface of the water seemed to be attracted by a force, and began to surge and churn.
A grumbling whistle suddenly appeared from the water.
The sound of the flute broke the silence of the night sky and spread through the darkness around it.
This was not an ordinary flute, Tang Yun followed his skin, and could clearly perceive that this yin wind was changing with the sound of the flute.
As the melody progressed, Tang Yun felt his heart beating fast.
It's uncommon, or rather, the heartbeat is a little weird.
Uncontrollable palpitations.
Tang Yun suddenly glanced to the other side with his eyes, and Wan Jinhai was gasping frantically. He was like a fish out of the water, greedily breathing the air in the sky.
Wan Jinhai's eyes were closed, he gasped for a while, and suddenly stood up.
He made a big move, and the nearby branches and leaves began to shake violently, and then he jumped straight from the height where they were. There was a rock underneath, and he landed on it with a soft thud.
Insidious failed!
Although he didn't know why Wan Jinhai was like this, Tang Yun had already pulled out the knife behind his back. If the two prisoners find him, he will rush to kill them as soon as possible.
Wan Jinhai walked like this, staggering, and muttering in his mouth.
Tang Yun couldn't hear it clearly, but he had already begun to speculate in his heart, could it be that this Wan Jinhai still had the habit of sleepwalking?
The two got closer and closer to the prisoners.
The two seemed to have noticed it, and when they got up at the same time, Tang Yun immediately rushed forward, but as soon as he took a step, he stopped again.
My heart was beating hard.
Tang Yun had never felt like this, and he suddenly noticed that the two prisoners didn't look like they were aware of them.
Instead, like a marionette, he staggered to his feet.
These two people opened their eyes at the same time, and the two pairs of wooden eyes shone with a strange light in the darkness.
They were walking in the same direction as Wan Jinhai.
That is, by the lake.
Tang Yun was shocked, and the flute around him was even sharper at this moment.
The strange thing is that the sound of the flute, which was originally a melodious and beautiful music, is like a life rush at the moment. Tang Yun felt a palpitation, just like after he had killed many people, his whole body was not numb.
The further you go, the louder the sound of the river flowing.
As the sound of the flute got closer and closer, Tang Yun suddenly saw a person sitting on the railing of the wooden bridge.
The man had his hair scattered and could not see his face clearly. Two arms lift a flute, and the sound of the flute comes from here.
What is striking is what the man is wearing.
Even in dim light, you can still see a bright red color. In front of the red and on both shoulders, there are dragon ornaments. The most noticeable thing is the back of this person.
It is very imaginary to the current prince's python robe, but the prince's back is embroidered with a python, and behind this person, it is obviously a flying golden dragon.
This turned out to be the regular clothes of the former Qin prince!
