Chapter Twenty-Nine: Circumstance (I)
The High Priest was slow to answer Pokerface's question, hesitated, clutching a bronze medal tightly in his palm. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info for a long time, he shook his head as if he had figured it out, and handed the bronze medal back to the poker face, "I'm sorry, I don't know what is on this bronze medal." As for our secrets, I can't tell you either. After saying that, the high priest stood up, "You three, because you have broken into our village, we will change the route into the village when you leave." Since then, people in this world still can't find us......"
Poker Face quietly accepted the badge and said respectfully, "I didn't be honest with the High Priest, so I delusionally thought that the High Priest could give me the truth. It's me who is arrogant. Poker sat upright and said solemnly, "Actually, the pattern on this bronze medal is seen in Daji's tomb." In Daji's tomb, buried is a jade plaque, and the pattern on it is exactly the same as this one. Of course, the one I have now in my hand was made again by someone later. ”
The high priest took the bronze medal again, looked at it again, and nodded: "Since you know to show me this bronze medal, you should know the connection." ”
"Please understand, in fact, I ......" Before Poker Face could finish his words, Ah Shen rushed in, he gasped heavily, "Mayisha and Batur are gone!" ”
"What?!" The high priest stood up tremblingly. "Ah Liang, Ah Liang...... "The high priest is already old, and he is irritated at this time, and he can't stand steadily. Pokerface hurriedly stepped forward to support him.
A teenage boy rushed in, "Grandpa, you call me." ”
"Quick, let's block the entrance to the village. From now on, no one can leave the village. Gather all the people again and search the village, and if you find the princess, let me know at once. The high priest explained in one breath. Breathlessly, he sat down and waved his hand, "Sorry to make you laugh." ”
"Old man, it's this time, you still don't care if you see a smile or not. It's not something we laugh at, it's your granddaughter who ran away with someone else. "Ah Shen is more anxious than the high priest. He glanced at poker face and moved to his side, "Why are you still so calm when your good looks run away with someone else?" Let's go and find out? ”
"They should be out of the village, in the labyrinth." Poker Face said.
"If you're in the labyrinth, will you encounter the group of people just now?" Yu Yue was anxious, "I always felt that what they were looking for was Mayisha. ”
The High Priest hesitated for a moment, "Let's go, go to the labyrinth." ”
When Yu Yue and the others caught up with Ma Yisha as fast as they could, Gao Ze was interrogating Ma Yisha.
Maisha shook her head, "I really don't know the secret you are talking about...... "Maisha has tears in her eyes, "You let me and Batur go, and I will tell you everything I know." Maisha pleaded.
"Maisha ......" The high priest was heartbroken, and he hammered the ground with his scepter, "what a noble status you are, how can you ......"
"Grandpa......" Mayisha seemed to see a savior, "Grandpa, they took Batur away." ”
Ah Shen sighed and muttered beside Yu Yue, "I have seen what it means to be carried away by love." The people of this tribe are threatened, and this girl is still innocent and only cares about her lover. ”
"Mayisha!" The high priest hated, "You let Maisha go, although she is a princess, she grew up outside and doesn't know anything. ”
Gao Ze looked at Mayisha, and then at this old man like a saint, "She doesn't know, you know?" ”
The high priest stood there immovable, naturally exuding a noble aura, "Let go of Maisha, if you want to know anything about me?" With that, he walked forward with his scepter.
"Stop!" Gao Ze's men stepped forward to stop him, lest he would do something to endanger Gao Ze.
The high priest threw away the scepter. "Don't you just want to know what the secret of our people is to protect even if they hide their existence?" The High Priest's eyes lit up and he walked towards Gao Ze even more firmly.
Gao Ze stared at the old man who was walking towards him, and as soon as he let go of his hand, Mayisha was released. Maisha rushed to the High Priest and held his hand, "Grandpa." ”
The high priest pushed her aside, "Maisha, you have disappointed me. ”
Mayisha shook and let go of her hand. She watched in amazement as the High Priest walked up to Gao Ze and said, "Let's go." She suddenly realized, "Grandpa! She ran to the high priest, and when Gao Ze's men saw this, they hurriedly stopped her. Looking at the high priest who was about to be taken away, Mayisha was completely out of control, "Grandpa, don't go, don't, don't go!" Mayisa didn't know where the strength came from, so she pushed away the person who had stopped her and rushed towards the high priest.
Gao Ze's other subordinate had been preparing to stop Maisha, and the short knife he was holding in his hand had not yet been retracted from its scabbard, and he held it mechanically in his hand.
"Mayisa, go back quickly. Organize the villagers to leave here. From now on, you are not a princess, and you don't need to keep any secrets. As soon as he finished speaking, the high priest took the hand of the man and put the dagger into his chest.
"Ahh Yu Yue exclaimed.
"Grandpa!" Maisha pushed away the people next to the high priest and threw herself into the arms of the high priest, "Grandpa, grandpa......"
The blood on the high priest's chest spilled out, staining his red and white robes, and he coughed lightly, "Mayisa, don't be sad, after grandpa died, that secret was buried forever with grandpa, you don't need to bear such a heavy burden because you are a princess, and your father doesn't have to bear this secret." He groaned, "You guys, live like normal people." ”
"Grandpa, I was wrong, I shouldn't have said that I didn't want to be a princess. I do, I want to be like my grandfather. I want to protect the people in the village......" Maisha's tears fell on the high priest's face, and the high priest's gaze began to drift. He forced himself to calm down, looked at Poker's face, and said in a very weak voice, "Come here." ”
Pokerface knelt on one knee beside the High Priest and held up the High Priest's head. The high priest said something weakly
Seeing that the high priest was dying, Maisha wanted to persuade but couldn't, so she had to wait quietly on the side. Poker Face leaned into the High Priest's ear, and the High Priest struggled to prop up his head and muttered, "Our secret...... Fox ......"
"What did you say?" Pokerface asked again, leaning into the High Priest's ear again.
Maisha waited for the High Priest, who used all his strength, "...... Fox ......"
"What do you say? Pokerface asked again, not understanding what the high priest meant by the fox. It's just that the high priest's current situation no longer allows him to explain things clearly.
"Grandpa, grandpa......" Maisha finally found that the high priest had been motionless. His eyes widened and he stared straight at the cave wall above his head. He finally didn't hold on.
Pokerface dumbfoundedly placed the high priest's body flat on the ground, closed his wide eyes, folded his hands, and bowed gently.
"Mr. Gao, what should I do with this dead person?"
The corners of Gao Ze's mouth slanted slightly, "If you're dead, you're dead, he's never existed in this world." Gao Ze looked at the scene in front of him, raised his hand and waved, Ma Yisha had been set up by his two men.
"What are you going to do!" Still immersed in the agony of the High Priest's death, Maisha was frightened by the sudden impact, and she struggled to resist, "Let go of me! ”
"Since your grandfather is dead, then we can only take you away." Gao Zeyang raised his hand and turned around to leave.
"Stop!" Ah Shen, who had been staying on the side and didn't speak, suddenly spoke, "If you want to know the secret, I can tell you right now, why did you take people away?" ”
"Oh?" Gao Ze's eyebrows were raised, and he looked back with interest. The moment he saw Dr. Shen, he was stunned, "Why are you here?" ”
"Me? Do you know me? Shen pointed to the tip of his nose.
Gao Ze tilted his head, and suddenly he smiled: "Dr. Shen, you finally escaped death, don't go home to study your archaeology, what are you doing here?" ”
"What escaped death, what studied archaeology. Lao Tzu, where I love is, can you control it? Ah Shen replied loudly.
Gao Ze frowned, "It was rumored that you had amnesia, I always thought it was fake. ”
"Don't beep with me. Say, do you want to hear the secret? "Ah Shen is straightforward.
"Since Dr. Shen has spoken, there is no reason not to listen." Gao Ze raised his chin, and his men brought Mayisha behind Gao Ze.
Pokerface still knelt down on one knee beside the High Priest, secretly watching all of this.
"If you want to tell this secret, it can really shock the whole world. Actually, they are ......"
"Ah Shen! Are you really going to tell them? Yu Yue asked, "If you say it, it will definitely cause an uproar." ”
Ah Shen looked back at Yu Yue and cast a look to reassure her, "No way, Mayisha is in their hands, what they want to listen to is the secret guarded by the old man, tell them, they should let Mayisha go." After speaking, he looked at Gao Ze, "May I ask your surname?" ”
"I'm telling you, here, it's useless to deliberately delay time, my subordinates are all professionally trained, just a few of you, not opponents."
Ah Shen pursed his lips and sighed, "I said why are you so defensive, I'll ask you what your ancestor's surname is, as for lifting your subordinates out to seek security?" I'm not going to check your account. ”
"Don't have a high surname."
"Oh~ surnamed Gao, you must be Chinese for the sake of listening to you say such a slippery Chinese and understanding Chinese etiquette so well, right? As for me, for the sake of being Chinese, I am willing to share this secret with you. But behind you these ...... Tsk, blonde, I can't tell them. ”
"You!" Gao Ze's men stepped forward, very angry.
Gao Ze raised his hand to stop him and said with a smile, "Why? ”
"I don't understand that, huh...... Because we are all Chinese. As for me, I can tell you that this secret is the biggest secret in our Chinese history, how can this first-hand information fall into the hands of foreigners? This is the most conscious thing that a descendant of a dragon should have. ”
Gao Ze looked at Ah Shen quietly.
"Mr. Gao, he must want to break us all apart, don't fall for him." Gao Ze's subordinates reminded.
"Hey, this is a bridge that only exists in novels and movies, and I don't look at you high sir, the biceps in your hands can be canned, and the few of us together are not his opponents. Don't be so unconfident in your leader. ”
Gao Ze nodded expressionlessly, "You guys come to the front and wait for me." ”
"Yes!" Gao Ze's men left in the team. Their neat steps echoed through the passage.
"Tsk, your men are really well-trained." Ah Shen raised his head to confirm that they were all gone, and exclaimed.
"Can you say that now?"
"Of course." Ah Shen shrugged.
