A secluded courtyard in the mountains behind the city outside Pegasus Ranch.

Although this courtyard has not been cleaned for a long time and looks a little dilapidated, because of the whimsical layout and the ingenious layout of the space, it still makes people feel infinite artistic conception.

In particular, the only house stands in a slightly empty place in the courtyard, and the location is just right, like the finishing touch, which makes this small courtyard that looks a little desolate seem to have a little more charm.

Xu Ziling looked out through the gap in the window frame with great interest and sighed: "This must be Mr. Lu's handiwork." ”

Kou Zhong smiled bitterly: "I don't want to be treated as a prisoner, it's even more spacious than we lived before, it's just ...... Aren't you known as the true biography of Master Lu? ”

He was squirming with his head down, trying to break free from the heavy bondage, and said, "Now it's time to see if you're bragging." Hey...... I don't know if Mr. Lu has taught you how to get out of the rope that is getting tighter and tighter? Because...... It's very important, you can't think of a way, your good brother I'...... I'm going to be strangled. ”

Xu Ziling retracted his gaze, glanced at him, and said lightly: "Have you forgotten that the 'immortal net' in Shen Luoyan's hand that the immortals would also be fooled by at the beginning, isn't it from the hands of Mr. Lu, the world's first craftsman?" ”

Kou Zhong suddenly stopped struggling, a little wanted to cry without tears, if he could still move his hand now, he would definitely slap himself hard.

He knew that Lu Miaozi lived in seclusion in Pegasus Ranch, and obviously had an inexplicable intimate relationship with Shang Xiuxun, how could he not leave some fine products for Shang Xiuxun.

The two of them couldn't escape the "immortal net" at the beginning, and now they naturally can't escape this "rope of immortals" that is much higher when they look at it......

Xu Ziling said again: "Even if we can break free of the rope, we can't escape from this courtyard." ”

Kou Zhong drooped his head. He asked weakly, "Why?" ”

Xu Ziling glanced back at him angrily and said, "Didn't you hear what I just said?" ”

Kou Zhong looked up. said in a trembling voice: "You say...... This courtyard is also from Mr. Lu's handwriting......"

His heart sank, but he was especially lucky: "But the entire Pegasus Ranch was designed by Mr. Lu!" ”

"This small courtyard has its own unique ......"

Xu Ziling shook his head. "Mr. Lu once taught me that although the garden is ever-changing, there are only nine of them: space, light and shade, separation, lining, image, hue, climate, smell, fruit offerings ......"

Although Kou Zhong was not interested in these, it was a matter of how to get out, and he also cheered up and listened carefully.

Xu Ziling continued: "One of the most important is the standing image, that is, at the garden chain, such as courtyards, patios, platforms, intersections, etc., with ancient vines, old trees, platforms, seats, railings, and hedges. Or pavilions, corridors, pavilions, rockeries, fish ponds, small bridges, etc., embellished with scenery into images, so that people have the center of gravity for viewing......"

Kou Zhong couldn't help but shout: "Master Xu, Master Xu, you can spare your little brother!" Can you speak human language? ”

Xu Ziling could only explain: "Most of the handwriting of the statue is set off by small things as a whole, but this courtyard is the finishing touch of the house we are in." ”

Kou Zhong was also an elven person, and immediately shouted, "That is to say, as long as you are in a place where you can see this courtyard, you will definitely see our house at first sight?" ”

"Unless you're blind, you can't see it."

Xu Ziling spread his hands and said, "Now you should understand!" Eighty percent of this courtyard was built specifically for prisoners. Unless we can be invisible, don't try to hide from the eyes and ears of the guards, even if we can fly. ”

Kou Zhong muttered frustratedly, "Do you really want to be tied up like this to see her?" It's also a shame. ”

Men are very face-saving in front of their beloved women. No one wants to show their disgraced side in front of their beloved woman, and Kou Zhong is naturally no exception.

Xu Ziling knew that the "she" in Kou Zhong's mouth meant Li Xiuning, and couldn't help but smile slightly. Said: "But Mr. Lu also said that the number of Dayan is fifty. Nine out of forty are used, and there must be a line of change in the desperate place. According to his style, there must be a living door in this room, the question is whether we can find out! ”

Kou Zhong smiled and scolded: "Okay, you are panting, why didn't you say it earlier, did you deliberately scare me, why don't you come and find it soon?" It's early morning, and it's not far from noon. ”

Xu Ziling nodded and looked around the room with his eyes.

The two didn't know that Shang Xiuxun didn't have time to pay attention to them, all because of the news from outside the ranch that the four great Kou had joined forces to invade the realm, and there were about 2,000 enemies who appeared thirty miles from the west entrance of the Pegasus Ranch, and they were obviously the vanguard of the four great Kou.

The atmosphere at Pegasus Ranch is tense.

The sentry towers and towers that are usually ungarrisoned have become fierce.

The strong men in the city, one by one, took advantage of the night to drive out of the mountain city and gathered on the plains of the pasture, ready to go to the battlefield.

As soon as Shang Xiuxun came out of the inner fort, the fake Shang Zhen led a master to suddenly attack, cleared the guards outside the green park, and led Li Xiuning and his party to the most secluded place in the fort.

Youyuan'er, Shang Zhen's favorite concubine, holds the token of the archdeacon, and no one can distinguish the truth of Shang Zhen in the hazy night, plus everyone already knows that there is a foreign enemy attacking, and now the fort is indeed frequently transferred, so the most stringent guard did not play any role in this line, and the road was unimpeded.

Shen Luoyan was extremely thoughtful, and he was still not at ease with the already strict plan, so he added the insurance of the four major cowards.

As soon as the four big Kou came at this time, Shang Xiuxun naturally had no intention of caring about anything else, so she could only take people to investigate, and in order to prevent the sound from attacking the east, Shang Zhen was also sent by her to the east of the gorge to guard against sneak attacks.

This move made Shang Xiuxun and Li Xiuning have no chance to meet again, and if they completely cut off the life of this beautiful princess.

The whole conspiracy is seamless, the only flaw is the nowhere of Feng Xiaoxiao, Shen Luoyan is extremely vigilant that he will come out to stir up the situation, so he deliberately killed the game twice, one outside the Pegasus Ranch against Shang Xiuxun, the other in the Pegasus Ranch against Li Xiuning, and the two parties started almost at the same time.

Even if Feng Xiao Xiao's martial arts are up to the sky, unless he knows how to do the art of clone, it will be too late to stop it no matter what. And as long as one party succeeds, Shen Luoyan's trip is not in vain.

Whether it is Li Xiuning who died in Pegasus Ranch. or Shang Xiuxun was captured or killed, and Shen Luoyan could take over the power of Pegasus Ranch through a traitor.

A secluded place in the mountains behind the city outside the ranch. Sparse forest edges.

That Mr. Chen, an old man who is a little cool in shape and appearance, has been dressed as Shang Zhen, and Yuan'er is leaning on his side affectionately, if he is not familiar with him, he has to look closely at it to distinguish his fakeness, otherwise it is easy to be deceived by him.

At this time, I saw him lifting the pipe of the cigarette, snoring and snoring, which was more like Shang Zhen than Shang Zhen.

The others were dressed as Shang Zhen's guards. is guarding Li Xiuning and his party inside.

The fake Shang Zhen suddenly stopped, turned around and said: "There is an extremely secret tunnel here, which can pass through the outer city wall and reach the mountains outside the pasture, Princess Ning can rest assured." ”

This person has even learned Shang Zhen's old voice for seven or eighty percent, and he deliberately lowered his voice to speak, so it is really difficult for people who are not familiar with him to distinguish.

And when he had said this, he groped for a while in a tree beside him.

Everyone suddenly felt a slight tremor on the ground, and they were not surprised. I saw a tunnel entrance trapped next to Shang Zhen.

Li Xiuning was also a cautious and cautious person, slowed down his pace, and stopped when he was three feet away from the entrance of the cave. After taking a closer look, he said to the fake businessman: "I want to bother the big housekeeper to rescue him personally, Xiuning really doesn't want to go." Why is there a secret passage here? ”

The fake Shang Zhen pretended to sigh and said, "This is where the previous generation of field owners used to make a foolproof plan. If it weren't for the owner's nonsense for a while, he would have made up his mind to fight with your lord. I won't use such secrecy either. ”

Li Xiuning said indifferently: "The archdeacon has good intentions, Xiuning will keep it in mind on behalf of Li Valve, and I am not willing to sever the long-term friendship with Pegasus Ranch because of a momentary misunderstanding." ”

The fake Shang Zhen seemed to be overjoyed, and said with a smile: "This is the best, Princess Ning, please...... Hey! ”

The sound of footsteps came from the rear of Li Xiuning and others.

Both sides looked at each other in amazement.

I heard someone shouting, "Princess! Sorry, I had diarrhea just now, so I was late! ”

Li Xiuning's delicate body shook violently, and she recognized it as Kou Zhong's voice.

Under the gaze of everyone, Kou Zhong came from the forest rubbing his stomach step by step, and beside him was Xu Ziling who was smiling.

Li Xiuning had a few people on his side who knew Kou Xu and the others, and they were shocked to see that they appeared here inexplicably at such a critical moment, and they were about to draw their blades under the color change, Li Xiuning stopped them with gestures in time, and shouted: "You don't use it, can't you two hear it?" ”

Kou Zhong couldn't help but nod and said, "The princess is angry!" The princess is angry! ”

He and Xu Ziling slowly approached as if no one was around, and said with a smile: "Princess forgiveness, hey!" The villain just wanted to go to the thatched pit to relieve himself, but found that the thatched house was already crowded with people, and there was not even an extra pit. ”

His words are extremely vulgar, with Li Xiuning's noble status, how could her subordinates be "relieved" and "pitted", and "strained"?

Everyone who had listened frowned, but as Kou Zhong stretched out his hand and pointed, the faces of the two parties suddenly changed together.

Because the place Kou Zhong was pointing to was the hole that had been trapped.

Kou Zhong continued to smile and said, "Among them is the son of Li Tianfan, the only son of the secret prince of Nawa Gangzhai. ”

Li Xiuning and others changed color at the same time.

Kou Zhong grinned and said, "There is also a Shen Junshi who looks like a fish and a goose, tsk, sharing a toilet with seventeen or eighteen big men, and he doesn't feel depressed......

A pretty figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cave, it was Shen Luoyan.

She looked indifferent, lost a little weight, but she was still so beautiful, she was covering her hair with a hat, dressed as a man, and had a catchy smell, she waited for Kou Zhong, and then looked at Xu Ziling on the side with a complicated expression, and said coldly: "You just let your good brother speak foul words here?" ”

She never dreamed that her originally meticulous plan didn't see Feng Xiaoxiao come out to stir up the situation, but Kou Zhong, the kid, saw through it.

And the most critical part of this plan is this secret passage, which is not a secret passage that leads to the outside of the pasture, but to a warehouse that has been abandoned for a long time, so Yuan'er can inquire from the always cautious Shang Zhen.

No matter whether Li Xiuning or her subordinates walked into it, the fake Shang Zhen would immediately close the secret door, cut off the connection between the inside and the outside, and then annihilate Li Xiuning's party as quickly as possible.

If Feng Xiaoxiao suddenly appeared, Shen Luoyan could also escort Li Tianfan to leave quickly from the warehouse on the other side of the secret passage, so that Feng Xiaoxiao could not be found and chased.

She naturally didn't expect that the civil engineering mechanism designed by Lu Miaozi has always been interconnected, interconnected, and accessible in all directions, and it is by no means an isolated existence, just depends on whether you can open it.

Kou Xu and the others found the secret passage of the organ in the prisoner's residence, and sneaked out along the secret passage, and heard a hidden voice on the other side of the stone wall, it was Shen Luoyan and Li Tianfan who were making the final discussion.

The two only listened for a while, and then they understood what was going on, and they were going to go out to warn Li Xiuning, but they were trapped by the "bundle of immortal ropes" for a long time, and finally managed to untie it, and Li Xiuning and his party had already arrived at the moment.

Seeing that Li Xiuning was about to step into the trap, Kou Zhong could still hold it, urging Xu Ziling to find another exit, and then hurried over.

Shen Luoyan saw that it was Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling instead of Feng Xiaoxiao, so he was naturally unwilling to retreat like this, but instead showed his figure, intending to turn from darkness to light and attack them.

In terms of the strength at hand, she is still above Li Xiuning's side, but if she stays strongly, the casualties will be very large.

But Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling have long since changed from what they used to be, as soon as they fought, Shen Luoyan looked discolored, and it was difficult to calm down.

On the one hand, it was like a rainbow, but on the other hand, the conspiracy was exposed, and the heart was weak and timid.

And Li Xiuning has two more masters, Kou Xu, and the current scene has become a one-sided massacre.

Shen Luoyan saw that the situation was not good, so he turned around and went back into the secret passage, and even closed the secret door from the inside.

From this point of view, it can be seen that Shen Luoyan is an extremely shrewd person, although he sacrificed his subordinates in exchange for a chance to escape, he kept Li Tianfan in the dark passage and the top dozen masters.

However, if she didn't just care about escaping and not releasing the masters in the secret passage, it would be difficult for Li Xiuning to clean them up, and at least she wouldn't end up with the only ending of the entire army.

Kou Zhong's Jing Zhongyue was taken away when he was imprisoned by Shang Xiuxun, and at this time, he snatched the long knife in his hand, and was swinging and dancing freely, but there was no surprise or joy in his heart, so cold and calm that he didn't even understand it.

He will not kill indiscriminately, but he will never be unbearable to the enemy, so he glanced at Xu Ziling and immediately withdrew, they knew where the end of the dark path was, and they were ready to intercept and kill first.

After knowing that Li Tianfan was Li Mi's son, Kou Zhong had already made up his mind not to let him go back to see Li Mi alive.

But for the sinking geese, he always has feelings, and it is difficult to destroy the flowers. (To be continued.) )

PS: I know that Feng Xiaoxiao has rarely appeared recently, but this plot is a bit complicated, and Master Huang Yi also frequently switches perspectives between Kou Xu and the two, I tried it, but I couldn't write it clearly from Feng Xiaoxiao's perspective, so I simply wrote it from Kou Xu's perspective, and tried to turn over this paragraph as quickly as possible.
