Chapter 25: Change

Call!

A strong wind blew on people's bodies, and Lu Pengyuan felt a slight coolness coming from the bottom of his heart.

When I first came up from the stone steps, there were no such figures on the mountain wall. Lu Pengyuan cautiously leaned over, grabbed a tree on the edge of the cliff with his hand, and when he got closer, he could see the person's face clearly.

The sound of birdsong suddenly sounded all around, and in such a stormy weather, there was a sudden cry of strange birds, and the atmosphere became much more oppressive.

The first thing Lu Pengyuan saw was a head, and the hair on the head had been scattered.

The flames on the torches were blown back and forth by the wind, flickering in a trance, and there were not many areas that could illuminate. Lu Pengyuan simply threw the torch out directly, and the torch hit the mountain wall, creating a flame.

Thus the flame flickered and illuminated the face.

Lu Pengyuan recognized that this face belonged to a lieutenant under him. Just now, Lu Pengyuan also issued a task to the lieutenant and asked them to walk up the mountain from the other side.

The lieutenant was already dead and couldn't die anymore, and when he got closer, he saw clearly, and a spear stabbed the lieutenant in the heart, nailing him to the mountain wall.

As for the other figures on the mountain wall, they are presumably other sergeants.

Lu Pengyuan scolded secretly, and suddenly felt that his feet slipped, and the entire ground became extremely soft. A powerful tremor came from below, slamming into the ground beneath his feet.

Rumble!

This time the strength was heavy and heavy, although Lu Pengyuan grabbed the branch with his hand, but under this huge force, the branch was directly broken.

"Ahh

Lu Pengyuan hurriedly hugged the tree with both hands, and the wind was so strong that it blew off the helmet on his head. Below was the rushing river, the distance was high, and his heart was pounding.

With the help of the afterglow, Lu Pengyuan glanced down.

There was a huge shadow approaching him.

The black shadow opened its mouth, like a bottomless black hole, and it swallowed him in an instant!

Lu Pengyuan finally panicked, and he shouted loudly.

The sergeant tried to arrest him, but as soon as he ran, the ground suddenly trembled violently. The black shadow below slammed into the ground again. The ground under Lu Pengyuan's feet is a part of the protrusion from the edge of the cliff. If there is nothing to lean back on, it is easy to be knocked down.

Finally, the ground could not withstand the continuous impact, and a huge crack cracked, and it fell with a thud.

Lu Pengyuan heard a strange roar, and a strong bloody breath came from his snort. The sergeant was hit by the sudden crack and fell to the ground.

Sou!

At this moment, suddenly a rope appeared in front of Lu Pengyuan's eyes, and before he had time to think about it, Lu Pengyuan hurriedly grabbed the rope firmly. The strong falling force made his hand slide on the rope for a distance, and Lu Pengyuan wrapped his hand around the rope for a turn before he firmly controlled the rope in his hand.

The rope was dragged up little by little, and Lu Pengyuan was dragged up by the scrambling sergeants.

Lu Pengyuan was already exhausted, everything he had just experienced made his heart tremble, and when he saw Tang Yun looking at him, he pointed to the edge of the cliff: "There is something in the river!"

Tang Yun went straight past Lu Pengyuan and flew to the edge of the cliff. Bend your bow and shoot three arrows into the darkness below!

Roar!

There was a roar in the darkness, and the entire cliff trembled. The shadow must have been injured, and the sound was getting farther and farther away, and huge waves hit the surface of the river.

Lu Pengyuan was still palpitating at the moment, his legs trembled a little, he found a stone and sat down: "That's definitely a monster, Brother Tang, you are well-informed, could it be a monster?" ”

Tang Yun shook his head, he wasn't sure.

Just now, Tang Yun also caught a glimpse of a dark shadow. It's just the ring on his hand, but it doesn't flash red.

Lu Pengyuan hammered the ground with his fist: "It must be the remnants of the Qing Dynasty, they haven't left yet!" Kill all my brothers, these bastards, let me see that Lao Tzu has to smash them with a hammer! ”

Lu Pengyuan explained the situation on the mountain wall to Tang Yun, and several sergeants next to him couldn't help but gasp.

In fact, they didn't have long to go up the mountain. Two lieutenants are a full 200 sergeants. Even if you encounter a sneak attack by enemy troops, you can resist it for a while.

There was a huge force that killed them all in an instant.

"Could it be that those people are already staring at us, secretly doing tricks and not letting us leave."

A sergeant muttered, and a wave of despair suddenly gripped everyone's hearts.

Tang Yun looked around with his eyes, and the wind in the mountains under the dark night was fierce. One of the sergeants suggested, "Why don't we stay in the ancient building and wait until tomorrow to find a way down the mountain." ”

So it seems, that's all there is to it.

Although the stone steps are gone, this section of the road is still a slope after all. You can still walk down with a boulder barrier and a rope to pull you on.

"What about the hundred households?" Tang Yun said in a deep voice.

Lu Pengyuan's eyes widened, and he also looked left and right, but he didn't find Shen Ze's figure at all. He sat up from the boulder and exclaimed, "Yes, where did that kid go!" ”

The two of them hurriedly ran to the main hall of the ancient building, and the sergeants were still sorting out the silver ingots. As soon as Lu Pengyuan entered, he shouted: "Stop all the work in your hands, who is looking at that Shen Ze?" ”

The sergeants looked at each other, and there was no response for a while.

Lu Pengyuan was furious, and just about to have a seizure, a sergeant whispered: "It seems that the third child is watching, at the beginning we all came to help move the silver ingots, so he was left alone to watch the thief." ”

The sergeant pointed out the direction, and Tang Yun and Lu Pengyuan hurriedly walked over. On the side of the lobby, a sergeant bowed his head, as if in a deep sleep.

"Third child, don't sleep, the general is here!" The companion pushed the sergeant, but unexpectedly, the sergeant directly tilted to the side and fell to the ground.

The companions hurriedly helped the sergeant up, checked for a moment, and said with a somewhat ugly face: "He...... He's dead. ”

Under the helmet, a pale face appeared. The goggles were removed, and an extremely deep wound appeared at the opening of the heart, and the blood had coagulated. The companion took off the sergeant's armor, and seven or eight of the same wounds appeared under the armor.

There was a short knife beside the sergeant, and the knife was still stained with blood. Behind the sergeant, there was a dilapidated door, creaking back and forth in the wind.

When I first came in, everyone's attention was on the coffins in the lobby, but they didn't pay attention, and there was a back door on the side.

Tang Yun walked outside the door, and behind the mountain was a barren forest, and the wind was blowing, like a group of demons dancing.

Lu Pengyuan stood up suddenly, his eyes were red and he said, "I will let the Qing thief die without a corpse, but the tax and silver are the most important thing." Brother Tang, you don't have to get involved in this matter, help me collect the tax money. Tomorrow I will personally ask Your Majesty for a decree and let them know what happened to me. ”

Lu Pengyuan's tone was very low, his left hand was tightly gripping the hilt of the knife, and his wrist was already blue on the ground.

Tax silver is the most important thing, no matter how angry Lu Pengyuan is, he still has to keep these silver.

Right now.

Tang Yun clearly felt that something was watching them.

He turned his head, and the old wooden door clanged, but there was nothing outside.
