Chapter 16: Enigma
At this time, looking at this side with green eyes flashing, Liu Jinyi couldn't help but shiver all over his body, and hurriedly turned his head to urge the team to go quickly, but at the moment when his head turned around, he was surprised to see that there were more than a dozen people in his team who looked like zombies in white, and his daughter was holding in the arms of the bronze corpse with long nails.
Liu Jinyi's scalp was numb for a while, and he hurriedly snatched his daughter back from the hands of the zombies, and the white-clothed zombies no longer hid after this sudden attack, turned around and began to kill, and suddenly shouted loudly.
"Don't fight, everyone, get out of here!" Liu Jinyi saw that more than a dozen white-clothed zombies on the side also surrounded him, and hurriedly ordered the remaining seventy or so people to escape quickly, but it was too late at this time.
The white-clothed zombies only had a full-scale raid in just one minute, and the team of more than 70 people had already collapsed, and most of them were killed and wounded immediately, and only about 30 people were left.
"General, let's go!" The remaining thirty or so people knew that they couldn't outrun the speed of this white-clothed zombie even if they ran, so they were ready to fight to the death from the beginning to block a bloody path for Liu Jinyi.
"In the past 30 years, I, Liu Jinyi, have never abandoned any brother on the battlefield! Today is death, and I will never take half a step back!" Liu Jinyi was reluctant to leave a soldier behind, which was his usual style.
However, at the moment, this situation is unbearable for him: "The golden sword guards the first team, quickly cover the general's departure!"
"General! In this situation, the lowly martial arts know that they will definitely die, if the general persists and does not retreat, we can only apologize with death immediately!" The captain of the first guard of the Golden Sword Guard was forced to die.
Liu Jinyi was helpless, gritted his teeth, and had no choice but to turn around and leave, and behind him was always followed by a team of ghost-like zombies in white.
Five minutes later, he sped forward as he pleaded. The desperate shouts of the soldiers gradually flowed away, and Liu Jinyi felt that the rain was suddenly heavier, and the forest was more empty, as if there was no one else except himself, and all of this existed and how it no longer mattered......
"Why... Boom... However, at this time, when Liu Jinyi was running wildly with all his might, he suddenly heard a few terrifying zombie sounds from the front not far from him.
His ears were very keenly locked on the place where the sound came from, at the corner of the cliff fifty meters in front of him, and that was the only way for him to enter Yangjiazhuang.
He subconsciously clenched the gilded knife in his right hand, his speed did not decrease but increased, calculating in his heart that he tried his best, and he must break through the defense of the white-clothed zombie at once, otherwise he would fall into the unfavorable state of being attacked by the enemy in his abdomen, and now, stopping one step means death.
But things were much worse than he expected, the speed and strength of the white-clothed zombie were far above him, and before he could make a move, the other party had already sent a very strong blow, and he only had the share of blocking, with the sound of the gilded knife "bang" tearing through the sky, he was ejected nearly 100 meters at once, and his body was already outside the cliff, and the zombie didn't stop, staring at him and rushing straight over.
Liu Jinyi knew that this time he would definitely die, but for the sake of his daughter, he could only gamble, turned over and put the gilded knife on his back, predicting where the zombie's attack would hit, and then moved forward with all his might, holding his daughter tightly with both hands.
It was another "bang...", the sound was so loud that it directly overshadowed the sound of the lightning strike, and then Liu Jinyi felt a hot pain in the skin on his back, but he was also knocked out of the kilometer at once, and a group of white-clothed zombies chased after him, but they couldn't catch up with his extremely fast speed.
I don't know how long it has been, and I don't know where he is at the moment, but Liu Jinyi feels that he has been hanging on the cliff of this mountain for a whole day.
Although he almost died several times, but in the end, he brought his daughter back intact, he looked at Wanyin in his arms with some relief, but the patinous face suddenly "buzzed" Liu Jinyi's head - a zombie in white!
Liu Jinyi hurriedly touched the gilt knife beside him, but he didn't touch it for a long time, so he hurriedly looked back, and it turned out that the knife was actually inserted in the rock ten meters below him.
However, at this time, looking at the zombie's face, there was already a slight hideous complexion, Liu Jinyi didn't believe that his daughter would become such a terrible monster, he shook his head, and hugged her in his arms, but the weird "gurgling" sound and the long nails that were inserted into his back broke all his own illusions, and then he was pushed off the cliff in tears.
However, Liu Jinyi was once the commander of the three armies, no matter what the situation was, he expected it, because no matter what the situation, his first priority was to make absolutely correct instructions, so when he fell to the position of the gilded knife, he immediately turned over and pulled out the knife more and more, and hit the zombie's body with a blow, because the opponent, he couldn't do it anyway.
After the pain, he raised his head, he had no other choice, in order to prevent the Qing court from being angry with his family, he had to rush back as soon as possible to restore his life, but just when he rushed to Yangjiazhuang, something even stranger happened.
"General, you have been waiting here for seven days and seven nights, and you are finally back!" A captain of the foreign gun guard told Liu Jinyi.
Liu Jinyi saw the sparse more than 30 foreign gunmen in front of him, and his heart suddenly trembled, weren't they all dead?
Secretly, Liu Jinyi moved his hand to the gilded knife in his arms again, but on the surface, he still pretended to be calm: "Where have the other sixty or so gone?"
"General Hui, just after the general ordered us to withdraw from the tomb, we met Master Li Shaotang Li in Shilibao in Yangjiazhuang..."
"What? You said you met Li Shaotang?" Liu Jinyi was taken aback.
The captain of the guard was startled by his sudden roar, and hurriedly stammered back, "Yes... Yes!"
After hearing this, Liu Jinyi immediately fell into a long thought, could all this really have something to do with him? I have always heard that in addition to being lustful, this person's favorite thing is to collect antiquities in the tomb, could it be......
Liu Jinyi thought about it and looked down at the blood-dripping sycamore flower in his arms, then turned his head and asked, "What did he let you do?"
"Master Li Shaotang Li ordered us all to go back to save you, but we always knew that the general's military order could not be violated, so we refused his request, but at this time, he showed the three military talismans, and ordered all the golden sword guards to turn back immediately, and the remaining foreign gunners retreated to Yangjiazhuang to standby."
"Did he say he came to drip blood sycamore?" Liu Jinyi seemed to have thought of something.
"Yes! When he showed his talisman, he said that he had come for the emperor's order!" The captain of the guard replied in the affirmative.
And so it was! It seems that he recommended himself to come to the tomb here to get this thing in front of the emperor, Li Shaotang really has a lot of intentions!" Liu Jinyi listened to the escort captain's reply and thought thoughtfully.
"Did they come back in the end?" Calder listened attentively.
"Nope! No one came back!" Liu Jinyi said in a trance.
"Then the current Li Shaotang ......," Calder asked puzzled.
"It was only a month ago that it really began to appear, and the previous ones were some phantom and real phantoms!"
Calder's eyes widened in surprise: "Then your Emperor of China hasn't sent someone to investigate this matter?"
Liu Jinyi talked and continued: "No! After I returned to Beijing that day, I only knew that Li Shaotang had been given an extremely confidential mission by the emperor, and no one was allowed to ask about it, but no one knew where he had taken those more than 50 people? I've been asking hard for a year, but the emperor won't say!"
"Then have you ever gone to the ancient tomb outside Beijing to look for your daughter again?" Calder asked with concern.
"I went, I used to go every five days, but now I only go once a month!" Liu Jinyi's thirty-year-old face was full of a father's helplessness.
"Is there still there?" Calder never believed that there was such a terrible thing in this world, and he had never heard of it in the United States, which had only been founded for a hundred years.
"It's gone, there's nothing! When I took someone back five days later, all I had left was a hole full of cobwebs, and nothing else! I couldn't even find my daughter's body in the end, maybe she really turned into a zombie!" Liu Jinyi said with great sadness.
"Then in the past month, you haven't looked for Li Shaotang?" Calder's curiosity at this prompted him to want something more.
"As soon as he appeared, I went with a gilt knife, but when I was pressed, he told me that my daughter is the current Magnolia!"
"What? Magnolia?! How is this possible?" Calder couldn't believe his ears.
"I didn't believe it at first, but in the past month, through the blood of the relatives, I found that the blood of the two of us is compatible, and looking at the face, she is also a little similar to Wanyin, so it will make outsiders think that I like her!"
"I didn't expect this to be the case!" Calder couldn't help but sigh, it turned out that Li Shaotang meant that he wanted Magnolia to be ruined, he had a way to prove that Magnolia was not Wanyin, but a game specially set up in order to get close to Liu Jinyi, in fact, it was just to rescue him and Lin who had been in prison at the beginning.
"Then what did you say you witnessed your daughter's death again a year ago?" Calder asked as he hurriedly changed the subject.
