Chapter 158: A Mountain Village That Is Not Destined to Be Peaceful
Ning Jue quietly listened to Qianji's words, and there was a stabbing pain in his chest like a needle piercing, which tortured him breathlessly. He breathed a little and barely suppressed the pain, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "That means that the whereabouts of Bang Wan have not been determined?" ”
"Yes." Qianji looked at Ning Jue worriedly and said, "But Your Highness, please rest assured, my subordinates heard that Qin Shizi has already planned to go to find someone in person, and besides, the North Star in the hands of the princess has also gone to garrison a part. ”
"Polaris is here too?" A flash of surprise flashed in Ning Jue's eyes. Ever since Gu Qingwan disappeared, he had heard Qianji come back to report that the North Star in Nanyuan had become more and more courageous than before, and he would find trouble for Qin Xiaoxuan every day, either charging into battle at Feihong Pass to teach people to be terrified, or going to attack their city or camp at night, turning Nanyuan upside down. Although these can't cause any big disturbances to Nanyuan, but Hades is easy to die, and the little ghost is difficult, isn't it? These alone were enough to give Qin Xiaoxuan a headache.
It's just that what didn't make Ning Jue think was that there was more than one North Star at all, and the North Star who came to guard there was another team. If he knew, he would be even more surprised, right?
"What else are you hiding from me?" Ning Jue looked at Qianji's appearance of wanting to say it or not, and said lightly.
Qianji held back for a long time just to wait for Ning Jue's words, and when he heard Ning Jue ask, he was afraid that he would miss the opportunity to explain to Emperor Yu again, so he hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, Your Majesty has sent someone to find you." However, because you were unwell a few days ago, your subordinates took the initiative to stop them. Now, do you think you're going to meet them? ”
"Nope." Ning Jue replied directly without thinking about it. What good could that old thing do to him? It's just that he wants people to take him back for his use, to be tortured by him, there is a Ning Liucheng in front of him and behind the saddle, what else is he going to do?
"But Your Highness..."You don't see that it's me who is embarrassed!" Chiji thought bitterly in his heart. Every time His Majesty comes to find his master, his master is like this, which makes it really difficult for him to be caught between His Majesty and his master!
"Qianji, don't forget that your master is Ben Gongzi, not that old thing." Ning Jue raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at him and said, "How you replied before, how to reply now." Accident happened to Ben Gongzi to bear it. Also, don't call me Your Highness in the future, I'm just a degraded commoner now. ”
Hearing this, Qianji shuddered violently, this is the master beating him, "Master, the subordinates know their mistakes, and the subordinates know what to do." ”
"Yes, go ahead." Ning Jue nodded, very satisfied with Qianji's knowledge of current affairs.
Hate the bottom of the world, a place where the river is turbulent...
Qin Mochen looked at the whirlpools that rose in the center of Jiang Shui's fork, and his heart gradually tightened. Was his Qing Bang swept away by this whirlpool? So turbulent, how could she, a weak woman, endure it?
"Shizi, my subordinates have tried to enter the water before, but the water is too fast, so they can't find where the hole is, and now there are two more whirlpools here, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to find the hole that may sweep away the princess." The dark guard looked at the gushing river and hesitated.
Yes, he used 'may be swept away', because the only token on the princess's body after falling off the cliff, that is, the iconic dagger capital shot at Qin Shuangshuang's throat, so after they searched all the places where the princess was most likely to fall without finding any trace, they agreed that the princess was most likely swept away by this unknown hole to a place they didn't find.
However, now that they found out that the situation here was very dangerous, they were all a little scared. Not to mention whether you can successfully find the entrance to the cave, even if you venture in, you will not necessarily have the whereabouts of the princess. Originally, the princess fell off the cliff and disappeared, and their close-quarters secret guards would be to blame, if the prince had a good one because of this, then they would really have to die and apologize.
Qin Mochen's eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice was cold, "Hasn't the wind come up yet?" ”
The dark guard looked at the dwindling rope wrapped around Lifeng's body, nodded, and said, "Yes." ”
"How long has he been down?" His voice remained unrelenting.
"Back to Your Highness, before a stick of incense."
"Yes." Qin Mochen responded, raised his hand and said, "Pull him up, it's useless to look blindly like this." ”
"Yes." The dark guard didn't dare to delay, he knew how dangerous it was to go into the water, not to mention that it had been so long since he had been away from the wind, no matter how good his kung fu was, it would not be so exhaustive. He turned around and pulled the thick rope tied to the stone next to him, and pulled it slightly, and was about to pull it hard but didn't want to pull out the rope that was originally tied to Lifeng's body at once.
The dark guard was shocked, and hurriedly looked at the end of the rope with his hand, and when he saw that the end of the rope was not very smooth, his hands and feet were cold.
"Shizi, the rope is broken." Unconsciously, his voice trembled slightly. It's been so long since the wind went down, and they don't know when the rope broke, so...
Qin Mochen looked at the rough and untidy fractures in the hands of the dark guards, and jumped into the turbulent river with a leap of energy, and his movements were so fast that they disappeared before the other secret guards could react. After Qin Mochen's figure was completely swallowed by the river, the well-skilled secret guards also jumped in one after another.
Underwater, Qin Mochen was lucky to protect his body from the damage of the whirlpool while constantly searching the hole, the bottom of the whirlpool may be the mouth of the cave, but it may also be caused by two river branches, so he is not sure for a while, he can only observe around the whirlpool. Suddenly, Qin Mochen felt a suffocating sensation coming from his body that seemed to be blowing from a violent wind, and when he looked sideways, the whirlpool closest to him suddenly became larger, combining the previous two whirlpools into one.
Seeing this, Qin Mochen had no choice but to retreat, but the moment he turned around, he found Lifeng trapped in the middle of the whirlpool. At this time, except for the occasional struggle, the departure from the wind was basically out of fatigue, Qin Mochen raised his breath and hit the whirlpool, and after the whirlpool separated a small fork, he fished out the leaving wind.
Lifeng's eyes were tightly closed, and Qin Mochen probed his pulse only to find that he had lost consciousness, and the occasional struggle of his hands and feet was all instinctual. He originally wanted to take Lifeng up first and then go into the water, but he didn't want to see the secret guard of the Qin Wangfu who jumped down as soon as he turned around. He made a gesture to the guards to take them ashore to heal their wounds first, and not follow him. However, the secret guards who came down only sent two people to take them away from the wind, and the others still followed behind Qin Mochen. Qin Mochen frowned slightly, but after all, he didn't say anything, let them go.
Qin Mochen was concentrating on finding a breakthrough, but he still didn't find anything, remembering the situation when he was trapped by the wind just now, he suddenly lifted his breath and hit the whirlpool.
"Bang"
A muffled sound suddenly came from inside the Xuanbing Lake, which startled Gu Qingwan, who was sitting on the shore cleaning medicinal herbs.
...
What's the situation?
Gu Qing stood up and frowned at the still calm lake, and suddenly had a bold conjecture in his heart.
It can't be Qin Mochen coming to her, right?
Gu Qingwan leaned sideways and listened carefully to the movement in the Xuanbing Lake, but after a while, there was no sound at all.
"Girl, have you washed the herbs?" Not far away, the white-eyed old man shouted at the top of his throat, interrupting Gu Qingwan's thoughts, and also making her slightly fluctuating mood slowly become calmer.
"Washed up." Gu Qingwan turned his head and answered.
Could it be that it was her auditory hallucinations just now?
No wonder she thinks so, since her belly has grown, she seems to hear people calling her from time to time, and she often has nightmares. Therefore, it is not necessary to hallucinate just now.
However, at the bottom of the Xuanbing Lake, which was considered an auditory hallucination at this moment, Qin Mochen finally broke the whirlpool, but due to the impact force, he and the dark guard were also swept in by the broken whirlpool.
It's cold. This is their first feeling.
Qin Mochen's palm just now used six points of strength, if he wasn't afraid that Gu Qingwan would really collapse on the other side of the cave entrance, he really wanted to directly shatter this place with one palm. For some reason, when he was swept in and saw the calm ice bottom, his heart jumped.
His Qingwan must be waiting for him on this!
If it weren't for the internal force to protect his body, I was afraid that even if he escaped the entanglement of the whirlpool, his life would have to be explained under this cold ice.
In the quiet mountain village, a small sound of water sounded, like a small pebble thrown in the huge ocean, and did not stir up any movement.
Qin Mochen was the first to break through the water, and when he saw the situation in front of him clearly, a trace of surprise and doubt flashed in his calm eyes. One after another, the guards also swam up, and from the instinct of the guards, they climbed ashore one after another, ignoring the water stains on their bodies, and looked around vigilantly.
There is such a place where birds and flowers are hidden at the bottom of the valley, no wonder they couldn't find it before.
However, it's not so much that I hate the bottom of the world, but that this is another boundary, but I don't know if it's Xiyu or Mobei, or neither...
"Shizi, we..."
Qin Mochen raised his hand to stop the secret guard's unfinished words, he looked fixedly at the smoke rising from a mountain col not far away, smelling the faint medicinal fragrance emanating from the tip of his nose, and a trace of imperceptible mildness flashed in his eyes.
"It seems that I, an old man, are not at peace again!" The white-eyed old man who was burning the fire touched his beard, shook his head and chuckled.
"Huh? What are you talking about, senior? Gu Qingwan hurriedly poured the freshly cut vegetables into the pot, but he didn't listen to the words of the old man Baimei.
