Chapter Seventy-Four: A Secret
In this case, I can't promise anything to this guy, and can there be any important news for a guy? I wondered in my heart, but I didn't show it on my face, but just looked at him and said, "It depends on the value of the news you are saying." ”
Hearing my words, the little guy was a little relieved, grabbed his hair, looked around vigilantly, and then whispered to me: "This lord, if you want to change to other slaves, you will definitely not have such doubts, they don't even know what this place is?" It is said to be a dungeon, but because of my ancestors, I know that there are several places in the dungeon that can lead to the surface world, and the restraints are relatively weak, even if the powerful nobles can move within a certain range, enjoy the blue sky and white clouds of the ground world. ”
Is there such a thing? I groaned, but I didn't completely disbelieve it, after all, it is difficult to exist in this world, even the largest formation has loopholes, just like the large array that locks the dungeon can also allow the demons whose strength is within a certain range to go out and trade with the people of the surface world. Like a strong nobleman who wants to go out to see it, he must firmly seal his strength, otherwise he will be limited by the formation, even if he goes out of the dungeon, once the seal is broken, he will also be affected by the formation, and he will be seriously injured or killed.
These are the most basic common sense that I have heard after staying in the dungeon for so long, and I have also felt the magic of the sealing formation in the dungeon, which does not feel like a formation that blocks the range, but from the moment those demons in the dungeon were born, the bloodline is connected to that formation.
Now that I heard the little guy say this, I realized that this big array also had a few leaks, which could allow the demons of the dungeon to go up to the surface world to move, but it didn't matter if I thought about it carefully, after all, it was only within a certain range.
But I had to think about it, thinking of that blood pool, could it be that the blood pool was already working?
"My lord? Is there something wrong? Seeing that I was lost in thought, the little guy asked cautiously, after all, the point he wanted to say was not this, and in his eyes, could it be that this kind of thing in the surface world was just the enjoyment of the top nobles?
I certainly wouldn't tell this little guy what I thought, so I turned back to him and said, "Go on." ”
The little guy was also articulate, and in order to save his life, he quickly said: "We are all slaves around the top nobles, and we also know that there are such good places in the dungeon, but most people know only about this, but my ancestors are not bragging, and there was also a big man, but after the big man got ahead, he didn't care about us distant relatives, and the relationship was not close." But my grandfather had some friendship with the adult, and he accidentally learned a secret..."At this point, the little guy looked at me cautiously, as if to judge whether I was interested in the news.
I didn't want to hide it, but said, "It's kind of interesting, you go on." ”
With the possibility of survival, the little guy came to the momentum and continued: "That is, the ground of Qinglong City is not a back garden for those nobles to enjoy, but a very, very critical place in the dungeon. In short, it is absolutely impossible for an ordinary aristocratic identity to come to this place, even if the status of the son of Jiu'er, if there is no special reason, it is absolutely impossible to come here, I don't know what is special here, in short, listening to my grandfather, being able to stay here for an hour is a great blessing. I wondered, whether it was Jiu'er Gongzi or Miss Tiansi, although their identities were precious, how could they be qualified to come here to hold a wedding? Even if it's the great commander of the dungeon, it's impossible to have this blessing? ”
"Really?" I asked lightly, in fact, I didn't know what this news meant to me? But I vaguely feel that this news should be very important.
In the face of my rhetorical question, the little guy scratched his head again and said, "Why not?" My news is reliable, you have to know that the old man who has a little friendship with my grandfather doesn't care about others, but still cares about my grandfather's lineage, otherwise, with me, how can I have the ability to be a servant by the side of Jiu'er Gongzi? ”
"You know a lot, but this news doesn't mean much to me, isn't it the same where they got married?" I said exactly what I was thinking, and at this point I changed my mind and said, "Don't be verbose, let's answer the question I want to ask quickly." ”
When the little guy heard me say this, his face became a little ugly, and he said with some unconvincing: "My lord, this thing must be meaningful, just change others don't know, I know, remind you of this, maybe you can know what the reason for holding a wedding in this place must be, it must be unusual, you can guard against it with this mind, and you can't be wrong?" ”
I think it's a little funny, this little guy is really talkative, and I don't answer him, but after he reminded me like this, I did have a trace of doubt in my heart, and I didn't think much about it before, after all, Ah Da told me that the combination of the Nine-Tails and the Sky Fox is a big deal for the entire dungeon, and it is a key part of the entire conspiracy to hide from the sky and cross the sea, so it is normal to hold it in such a place.
Now it seems that this matter may not be so simple.
"Answer my question first." My expression was already showing impatience.
The little guy didn't dare to be verbose anymore, and immediately said: "My lord, in short, there is less than an hour before the auspicious time, the status of the little one is low, and he is not the most trusted of the nine sons, and he has no chance to go to the wedding site to see and see, the place where they held the wedding is on the peak of this island, where it is easy to find, there is only one building, you can see it as soon as you get close." ”
"My job is to be responsible for guarding near this island, that is, guarding this exit, and if there is any movement in the underground river at this exit, I will be the first to investigate, and return the news, my lord, you have made such a big noise, I am stationed alone in this radius for a few miles, how dare I disobey? I can only run to investigate. ”
The little guy told everything clearly, and my heart moved, and I asked, "Do you know what's in that underground river?" ”
The little guy shook his head busily, looking at me with a scared face, afraid that if he said that he didn't know, I would kill him.
I glanced at him, and I already had a plan in my mind.
After about ten minutes, I put on a red little guy and walked out of the hiding place, and I knocked him unconscious, tied to a tree, and gagged him just to be safe. I spared his life, but I didn't leave a hidden danger for my actions.
I tidied up my clothes, moved the bronze sword hidden in my shirt a little more, so that I couldn't see any flaws on the outside, and hung the identity token of the little guy around my waist, and then I made the direction and walked towards the peak in the middle of the island.
The little guy was a man of many words, and I asked him a few more things in the last ten minutes, and he was eager to tell me what color of the underpants everyone he knew was wearing, which gave me a general idea of the situation on the island.
Speaking of this island, the rest of the places are ordinary, the most important place is the peak, some of the little guy naturally don't know, but he knows that from entering the jungle to the road to the mountain, there is a sentry every few places, and the people stationed in it are not ordinary people, and their strength is at least noble.
In addition, there are hundreds of small men like him, and even troops stationed all over the island, and there is always a stir, and the power that can erupt on this island is huge.
I'm a little glad that I just took this little guy recklessly, and I wasn't discovered by the people who patrolled the island, and I was also glad that I pulled the little guy to a remote place in time and got these important news, otherwise I would have broken in so rashly, I would definitely alarm the garrison forces on the island, and it would be a bloody battle, and I was afraid that I would alarm Jiu'er and his guests who were holding a wedding, and at that time, if I just broke into this island, they would hide Xin Yi, or it would be possible to transfer the place in time.
In addition, I also know that Jiu'er's guests are not small people, and it is best to retain their strength before the fierce collision occurs, and not to make extraneous branches.
So I used the identity of the little maid to prepare to break into Jiu'er's wedding like this.
I made up my mind, and I didn't hesitate to step into the jungle.
There is a main road to climb the mountain, and there is such a main road in all four directions from the island, if you are willing to look for it, you will soon find this main road.
I did not walk cautiously, but walked on this main road with a big grin, and only this calmness did not arouse any suspicion.
Sure enough, after walking less than a dozen steps on the main road, I came across a sentry, and before I could get close to the sentry, two men came out and blocked my way.
Obviously, my dress and identity plate helped me, how can these temporary transferred noble guards know a little guy in Jiu'er? However, the identity of this little guy is humble enough, even if the identity is not suspicious, he is not qualified to go to Jiu'er's wedding.
I was stopped as a matter of course, but I didn't care, but looked at the two guards, and said confidently: "Two adults, I was sent by the ninth son to guard the underground dark river, and the ninth son specially instructed that if there is any movement, you must report it to him in person as soon as possible, and this matter can not be delayed." ”
My words will certainly not arouse any suspicion, presumably the previous movement, this close sentry post somewhat felt, but it was just a duty, they could not leave easily, and naturally they could not go to investigate in person.
As soon as I said this, the two noble guards glanced at each other, and then let go of the road, just urging me to go quickly, but I didn't take two steps, and they stopped me again, and my heart sank, could it be that this way is really not good, and I can't kill it?
But he didn't want to, so one of the noble guards walked back to the sentry post, and in a moment he took a group of horses out, handed me the reins, and said, "The matter of the underground river is not a trivial matter, you can ride this horse, this horse is a special breed of horse raised on this island, and no one will stop you all the way when you ride it." ”
And such a good thing? I was secretly happy in my heart, but on the surface I was very grateful, and took the reins, but when I looked at the horse, I was shocked in my heart, how could there be such a horse in the world? It was nearly a quarter larger than the average horse, and its eyes were brown and red, as if they were suffering from pink eye, and the horse's lips were a little turned out, but the exposed teeth were not like the big teeth of herbivores, but like the teeth of a tiger, and they looked very fierce.
"This horse is not easy to control, you better not whip it along the way, it will naturally send you to the foot of the Holy Peak, but you don't have to think about it, you want to ride this horse around this island, I can remind you, except for this road, the rest of the island is not easy to run. When the time comes, there will be no place to die, but don't blame yourself for dying unjustly. "The noble guard did not notice my expression, and reminded me again when he handed me the reins.
It seems that there are really too many secrets on this island, I hold back the curiosity in my heart, I only think about the important things to do, and I even ignore why this strange horse looks like this, I just pretended to be frightened and said a few small words of dare, and then made a little trembling look, turned over and got on the horse.
At this moment, the aristocratic guard patted the horse's neck, muttered a few words, as if it was a spell, and seemed to be talking to the horse, and after reading it, he said to me: "Forgive me for not daring, quickly bring the news to the ninth son." ”
After saying that, he patted the horse's neck, and the horse galloped, raising smoke and dust all the way, much faster than the usual horse.
As the noble guard had said, I rode on this horse and I never encountered any obstacles along the way, though I saw no less than twenty sentry posts in the midst of the gallop, and I did not mention whether there was a possibility of a secret one.
This made my heart very heavy, and I didn't dare to think about it, even if I found Xin Yi smoothly, she was willing to come out with me, how could I safely take her to the central square and join Emperor Tong? I've had to 'poke' a lot of baskets along the way, and I don't have a choice.
I only hope that Ah Da will say that there will be a response when the time comes, and everything will really go well.
I didn't think too much about it, I could only take one step at a time, and the horse was so fast that it only took ten minutes to bring me to the foot of the so-called holy peak.
At this moment, someone finally stepped up and stopped me, a demon with typical bear-like characteristics, more majestic than the white lion general I saw on 10th Street.
"No one is coming." In the distance he let out a loud roar, and the sound was as strong as a muffled thunder rolling through the air.
The fierce horse was startled by this sound, and with a sharp stop, I raised the horse's hooves high, and I subconsciously tried to stabilize my body, but after thinking about it, I finally let go of the reins, and fell off the horse in an embarrassed position
