Chapter 708: Cause of Death
Mama Pang said as she spoke, and suddenly fell silent, she stood up while chanting the Buddha, and pushed Ning Yunxuan out: "Sins and sins, that's all the old slave knows, Miss Ning, don't come back in the future." ”
Seeing that she was secretive about the past, Ning Yunxuan didn't want to ask too much, she walked to the door of the room, and suddenly held Mama Pang's hand: "Mama Pang, thank you for being willing to tell me this." ”
Mama Pang had a look on her face, then sighed, and said without a beginning: "When Nanhou was alive, the old slave always saw her holding a palm-length purple cloud brocade box, and now I don't know where it is left, you look for it in this palace, maybe it will be a little useful if you find it!" ”
Purple cloud brocade box? Ning Yunyu lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, and just when she wanted to say something more, Mama Pang said that she would not provide any more information, and pushed her out of the door in a hurry.
The wooden door slammed and closed in front of Ning Yunxuan, looking at the warm yellow light swaying in the room, Ning Yunxuan sighed softly, turned around and walked into the dark night.
Purple cloud brocade box? This has no beginning and no end, how can she find it?
The most powerful information she had now was that Concubine Porcelain and the princess might really be related, Ning Yunxuan closed her eyes suddenly, and decided to check from here first.
The night was dark, as if the creatures of the whole world had fallen into a deep sleep, but Li Yiyan did not dare to delay the slightest time, he wore a hat and a night coat, followed by two subordinates who were also dressed in the same costume, and galloped in a dark mountain forest.
The shrill sound that crossed my ears was the sound of the evening breeze rubbing against the leaves, but if I listened closely, there seemed to be some kind of rustling sound.
Li Yiyan frowned, and with his ear power, he quickly discerned the direction in which the voice came from, not far from them!
As soon as he pulled the reins, he stopped there, and the two subordinates also stopped when they saw him like this, and before they could ask, Li Yiyan first put his index finger to his lips, and after a while, he shouted into the air: "Come out!" I've seen you. ”
The two subordinates felt strangely tight, it was so dark all around, how could he see the ambush? Sure enough, it didn't take long for a figure to flash out of the bushes, and after laughing a few times, Lang Ran arched his hand at Li Yiyan: "Sure enough, it's worthy of Li Daxia!" ”
It turned out to be the same mysterious person before, Li Yiyan straddled the horse, and said expressionlessly: "You have followed us all the way, what do you want to do?" ”
The mysterious man didn't answer directly, but said to him left and right: "Li Daxia's journey is not very peaceful, right?" Do you want to move forward with Zaixia, there is still a care on the way! ”
Li Yiyan snorted coldly: "I don't think it's necessary, you and I are not people on the same road!" ”
The mysterious man was a little surprised and said: "I also want to go to Tianyun Country in the next place, Li Daxia, you shouldn't mind being together, right?" ”
Li Yiyan didn't entangle with him anymore, drove his horse forward for a distance, and left a sentence lightly: "If you want to follow, just follow, but you remember, we are not fellow travelers, and I don't need your protection!" ”
With that, he pinched the horse's belly hard and walked forward. Seeing Li Yiyan's figure gradually moving away in the dark night, the mysterious man smiled silently, and after a whistle, he also summoned a horse, and the mysterious man stepped on the horse and followed Li Yiyan's steps.
"Master, where did this man come from?" The Dark Guard asked in a low voice.
And Li Yiyan lowered his body, lay on his horse, and hurried the road as fast as he could.
However, his body had not yet recovered, and after a long journey, he felt a little weak, and after a long time he replied succinctly: "No, the road is not smooth, you two give me some vigilance." ”
"Yes!" The two replied in unison.
Li Yiyan held on to his spirit and tried his best to gallop in the mountains and forests, the sooner he arrived in Tianyun Country to end this matter, the better.
But not far from them, more than a dozen crossbow arrows were set on the branches of the trees, aiming at Li Yiyan's horse from a distance.
With a "snap", only the sound of the mechanism was heard, and a highly poisonous arrow flew horizontally against the bushes; Coming over, Li Yiyan reacted very quickly, and suddenly turned the horse's head, if his movements were one step too late, I am afraid that his horse would have been killed by an arrow by now.
The subordinates immediately woke up, tightened the reins, stopped the horse, and checked the surrounding situation.
Li Yiyan looked serious between his eyebrows, frowning and analyzing the direction of the crossbow arrows, according to his judgment, someone must have set up an ambush in front of the road!
"Dismount." Li Yiyan commanded in a low voice.
The three of them got off their horses and walked silently on the dark path, along the way, everyone was wary of the ambush they might encounter in front of them, and the three of them walked for a long, long time on the mile-long mountain road.
It is strange to say that along the way, there are no more organs and no people.
One of the subordinates of the "Boss ......" just wanted to say something, but was frightened by Li Yiyan's cold eyes and stopped talking.
As soon as the subordinates finished speaking, their positions were already exposed, and for a while, countless cold arrows shot from all directions.
"Hide!" After Li Yiyan gave the order, he hid behind a rock.
The rain of arrows was very dense, and according to his estimates, there should be no less than dozens of people around.
"Boss, what should I do?" His subordinates hid behind the stones with him and asked in a deep voice.
It's not always a good idea to hide here, time is already pressing, and you must fight quickly!
Li Yiyan gritted his teeth and burst out of his lips with three words: "Kill!" ”
Regardless of whether the other party is fifty or eighty, we must end the battle quickly, Li Yiyan thought calmly for a few seconds and then said: "I'll go and divert those arrow rains, you guys hurry up and run to the hillside, prepare according to the plan, and send me a signal flare." ”
The subordinates looked at each other, they all knew that Li Yiyan was now deficient in qi and blood, and his martial arts could not be compared with before.
"Hurry up!" Li Yiyan's brows furrowed coldly, and after dropping this sentence, he stood up and threw himself into the rain of arrows.
The two men looked at each other, and after a second, they hurriedly ran in the direction of the hillside.
Li Yiyan stood in the clearing, the rain of arrows had stopped, and he couldn't tell when it would start again, he closed his eyes and listened attentively to every movement coming from all directions.
With a soft whistle, an arrow flashing with cold light flew from not far away, Li Yiyan didn't raise his eyes, and with a volley of the long knife, he cut the arrow in two and fell to the ground.
Almost the next second, more and more arrows were shot from all directions, Li Yiyan quickly moved his body, and he found a chance to breathe in the dense rain of arrows!
He danced the long knife so airtight that he blocked all the arrows out, and more and more of the wreckage fell, falling to the ground, and in the blink of an eye, a small pile had accumulated.
Li Yiyan looked calm, calmly waved the long knife in his hand, and blocked all the arrow rain in front of him.
But only he knew that his arms had gradually lost strength, and a lot of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Finally, he held on until a flare was raised, stopped what he was doing, and ran sharply towards the mountain.
In the next second, a boulder crushed the flowers and trees all the way, accompanied by a low groan, the rain of arrows slowly stopped, and most of those who were in ambush had already died under the crushing of the boulder.
didn't have time to see who those people were, Li Yiyan whispered: "Hurry up!" ”
Be sure to get out of here until more people come over.
The three of them rode horses and galloped through the mountains and forests!
Li Yiyan drove the horse lifelessly, and finally came to the foot of the mountain when the sky was just dawning.
"Boss, who were those people yesterday?" One of his subordinates couldn't hold back and asked in a low voice.
"It was so dark last night, who could see it!" The other counted him mercilessly.
Li Yiyan was silent, who could have sent him? Now there are only two places staring at his life, the court and the rivers and lakes.
But this style of acting, according to Li Yiyan's judgment, can only be done by Yu Linjun.
Most of the killings in the rivers and lakes will not be so powerful, firstly, the cost is too high, and secondly, if there is a person with strong martial arts, it is difficult to catch it with these arrows alone.
"Don't think about it so much, it's a serious matter to get to Tianyun Country quickly." Li Yiyan frowned, he didn't rest all night, which made his spirit a little trance, he paused for a moment and said, "There's a small town ahead, let's get there to rest for a while." ”
When the two subordinates heard that they could finally rest, they were overjoyed and accelerated their speed towards the next station.
At the same time, in the only inn in the town, three masked men walked in, slapped a gold ingot on the case, grabbed the shopkeeper's collar, and muttered to him.
……
After half an hour's journey, the trio finally arrived in the town and landed in the only inn in the town.
"Three guest officers, hard work! Do you want to play a sharp game or stay in a hotel? The shopkeeper came up very obediently and greeted him warmly.
Li Yiyan and the three of them handed the reins to the shopkeeper, and stepped into the door of the inn with their feet.
The shopkeeper immediately served three bowls of tea: "Three of you, please use tea!" ”
Li Yiyan picked up the tea bowl and sniffed it gently, but found that the shopkeeper was looking at him with a strange look, and after meeting his gaze, he took it back very weakly.
He quietly exchanged a look with the two subordinates, took a sip of tea, and said to the shopkeeper, "Ask for an upper room for the three of us." ”
"Good guest officer!" Although the shopkeeper promised happily, he was stunned to watch the three of them drink the tea before turning to leave.
Li Yiyan quietly observed this small storefront, there were not many people in the town, but there were two or three tables of customers gathered in this inn.
He picked up the tea bowl on the table and took another sip, only to feel that the objects in front of him were becoming more and more blurry, and after shaking them a few times, all three of them passed out on the table.
After a long time, the other two tables of guests got up and walked to Li Yiyan's side, and just when they wanted to put their hands on his shoulders, the one at the head whispered: "Don't act rashly, close the door!" ”
At this time, the shopkeeper came down from the upper floor, and saw that the masked people had closed the door of the inn, and immediately said with a bitter face: "What are the officials doing?" I'm going to do business! ”
