Chapter 79: The Secret Passage
Even if Emperor Beining loves Liang Meiren, but after being noisy for a few days, he is also tired, especially at this moment he wants to suppress this matter and calm the matter, but this Liang Meiren is holding on tightly, repeatedly provoking incidents, and is already challenging Emperor Beining's bottom line.
Taking a deep breath, Emperor Beining reassured with the last patience: "Don't worry, beauty, I will make decisions for you." Now take your sister down to rest, I still have something to talk to Ling'er. ”
Yu Guang sensed the displeasure of Emperor Beining, and Liang Meiren was busy holding her breath, not daring to say more. That frightened and helpless appearance can make a man's heart soften into a puddle of spring water immediately, and even the heart that was tired just now began to blame itself.
Bowing obediently, Liang Meiren withdrew from the palace with the demented Liang Ruoxue.
Seeing Liang Meiren's lonely and helpless appearance, Emperor Beining regretted saying what he just said, and felt that he had hurt the beauty's heart, and he was like a sinner.
After waiting for a long time, Shu Yiling didn't notice that Emperor Beining had any instructions, so he couldn't help but look up at him, and saw that Emperor Beining was looking at Liang Meiren's back, secretly distracted.
"Father?"
Suddenly coming back to his senses, Emperor Beining looked at Su Yiling in front of him, coughed lightly and said, "Cough." Now that the matter has been decided, don't waste time here. Instead of dwelling on this matter, it is better to let Imperial Doctor Sun think about it, how to cure Ruoxue! ”
"The minister should go all out!" Lowering his head, Imperial Physician Sun hurriedly stepped forward to express his determination, "Miss Liang's illness is still a heart disease in the final analysis, as long as it is well regulated, it will not take long to heal, the emperor does not have to worry." ”
Emperor Beining nodded and said, "That's very good. As for Lanling, it was handed over to Ling'er to investigate carefully. Although the plague did happen, I still suspect that the Lanling King is doing something else. ”
"Father, rest assured, the son will not let you down!" In response to the Emperor of Beining, Su Yiling slowly curled the corners of his mouth on his lowered face.

After running all the way, Baili Lan and the others came to the bottom of Chuangu Mountain, looking up at the snow-covered peaks, and their faces were solemn.
The white snow flashed with a dazzling light, which made Bai Lilan squint his eyes slightly, let out a breath of white air, looked sideways at Wuyan, and said, "Wuyan, please tell me, how do you want us to climb such a steep peak?" ”
I saw the mountain peak pointed by Baili Lan, sharp as a knife, covered by ice and snow, smooth and falling into the mirror. In such an environment, let alone Nangong Jingchen, even if the winter snow with superb martial arts climbs up, he will lose half his life.
Stuffing his palm into the hair tube, he said hoarsely: "Ordinary people, naturally they have to climb up." But I have ordered a secret passage to be dug and to reach our destination. ”
"Secret passage?" Bai Lilan calculated the time and found that from the time she told him about the cold bed of the Sichuan Bone to the time she stood at the foot of the Sichuan Bone Mountain today, it was not more than a month before and after, and this guy was able to find the Sichuan Bone Cave and dig the secret passage in such a short time, which was really amazing. Meimu looked at the towering peaks, and Baili Lan asked, "With so many peaks, which one are we going to take?" ”
Wuyan stretched out his finger and pointed to the frustrated one between the two peaks and said, "It's there!" ”
Squinting at it, Bai Lilan turned back into the carriage and added a few more pieces of coal to the charcoal brazier in front of Nangong Jingchen.
Looking at Baili Lan's such a virtuous and gentle appearance, Nangong Jingchen smiled with satisfaction: "Lan'er, if we have an accident on the mountain, it will be a blessing to sleep here!" ”
Bai Lilan glared at Nangong Jingchen mercilessly, and said, "I haven't had a good life, don't pull me if you want to die!" I'm going to burn you this charcoal because we're about to get out of the carriage and you'll be able to enjoy a moment of special treatment. And it's a pity to throw away these charcoal fires, it's better to burn them all. After saying that, Baili Lan clapped her palms, wrapped herself in a thick fox fur cloak, and jumped out of the carriage.
Chunfeng saw Baili Lan leave the carriage, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "County Lord, there is still some distance to reach the secret passage, you can warm up in the carriage first." ”
"No need," said Bai Lilan, putting on the hat on his cloak and revealing only a small face the size of a palm, "I've been sitting inside for a long time, and I'm going to get used to the cold outside." Let's take a walk around and get used to it. Looking up at the towering peaks, Baili Lan bent the corners of her mouth, and then quickened her pace and walked through the rugged mountains.
Listening to the sound outside, Nangong Jingchen smiled and stretched out his hand to keep warm back and forth on the charcoal fire. Although the Emperor of Bac Ninh was eyeing Lanling, and the great cause of Lanling had not yet been completed, he felt unprecedented peace of mind, just like an ordinary young couple traveling, leisurely and free.
When the convoy reached the bottom of the mountain, it was no longer possible to use horses, and everyone walked along the foot of the mountain in turn. Nangong Jingchen's wheelchair could not climb the mountain, so He Che had to carry it on his shoulder and move forward slowly.
Bai Lilan followed behind Nangong Jingchen, looking at this strategizing man who could only rely on others to move forward, he couldn't help lowering his eyebrows, and at the same time secretly thought, this must be the last time Nangong Jingchen relied on others!
"Lan'er?"
Nangong Jingchen suddenly stopped Bai Lilan, turned around to look at her slightly, and said, "Don't think nonsense, follow carefully." ”
Baili Lan glared at Nangong Jingchen, then crossed over to him, ran to Wuyan's side, and asked, "When did you start digging this secret passage?" ”
"I dug it?" Wuyan looked at Baili Lan, shook his head and said, "Lan'er misunderstood, this secret passage was discovered by me, but I didn't dig it out. It should have been excavated by a certain senior for the convenience of access. ”
Eyebrows raised unconsciously, and Bai Lilan said again: "Since you didn't dig it, then you always know how to find it." ”
"How did you find it...... This is very simple, it was a disciple in the gate who was looking for the Sichuan Bone Cave here, and found this amazing secret because of his internal urgency. Because all the energy of the people who came to the Kawagu Cave was focused on how to overcome the harsh environment, no one ever thought that there was such a secret hidden in this mountain. As he spoke, Wuyan pointed to a pile of rubble in front of him, looked at Baili Lan and said, "Lan'er saw it, that's the entrance!" ”
The shameless answer made Baili Lan a little speechless, but it doesn't matter how you find it, as long as you can climb the mountain smoothly and find the cold bed, it is enough!
Silently following behind Wuyan, Baili Lan and everyone came to the entrance of the secret passage. This entrance seems to be inconspicuous, after the three martial arts masters work together to open it, a winding path suddenly appears behind it, along this path, walk into the mountain rocks, look up, it is full of rocks that support out, dark and depressing. Occasionally, water droplets fall, dripping on the stone face, making a ticking sound.
Looking at this water droplet, Baili Lan was stunned, and then said: "It's strange, it's cold and snowy outside, which makes ordinary people unbearable, but the temperature inside is suitable, and even the water is not frozen. ”
There was an echo in this mountain, so Baililan's small voice floated inside, so that everyone could hear it clearly.
"Because this mountain rock forms a closed and isolated environment, and the top of the mountain can be understood. The summit of this mountain is different from the foot of the mountain, and it is a different paradise, where the flowers are red and the grass is green, the spring is bright, and there are some of the most beautiful camellia trees in the world. When he said these words, the corners of Wuyan's mouth were slightly curved, and there was a trace of evil in his voice.
"Flowers and grass green?" Xia Yu frowned and meditated, feeling that such an assumption did not seem to be valid, so he said, "Faceless Sect Master, we have all seen the top of this mountain just now, looming in the clouds and mist, still a white expanse!" ”
Hearing this, Wuyan shook his head and said: "Just now, everyone will definitely think that this mountain peak is the smallest of all the mountains, but as long as you look closely, you will find that the 'mountaintop' you see is just a mountainside hidden in the clouds and mist, and the real mountain peak is invisible with your eyes." The secret road we are walking on now seems to be continuous, but in fact, at the current speed, we need to walk for two days and one night, and the more we get to the top, the more slippery the road becomes. Because of the heavy humidity, the stone steps are covered with moss, and if you are not careful, it will roll down. ”
"Two days and one night......" Xia Yu swallowed his saliva and muttered, "Oh my God, it's so painful!" ”
"If you're allowed to climb the mountain outside, it's really painful." Chunfeng climbed cautiously, turned around and smiled, "At least we don't have to endure the biting cold wind now, and we don't have the danger of rolling off the cliff, so we're already very lucky." ”
Pouting, Xia Yu muttered in a low voice: "Having said that, but you can't rest on such a steep stone step, and it's also terrible to walk for two days and one night in a row." Looking at Baili Lan's thin and resolute back, Xia Yu secretly said in his heart, "I just hope that the county lord's hard work will not be in vain!" ”
When everyone reached the halfway point of the road, Wu Yan reminded in a loud voice: "Although there is no snow or ice here, this stone is still covered with moss, so everyone should be careful." ”
"Yes!"
Listening to the faceless warning in her ears, Bai Lilan looked back at Nangong Jingchen and found that he had been quiet for a long time, so she buried her head on He Che's shoulder and didn't say a word.
Taking a few steps back, Baili Lan stood beside Nangong Jingchen and asked in a loud voice, "Hey, what's wrong with you, why are you half dead?" ”
Slowly raising his head, Nangong Jingchen looked at Baili Lan, smiled faintly and said, "Maybe the air circulation here is not very good, I'm a little sleepy, and people can't lift their spirits." Lan'er has been walking for so long, is she also tired? ”
"My physical strength is not that bad," he took out a porcelain bottle from his body, poured out a pill and sent it to Nangong Jingchen's lips, and ordered, "Eat this quickly!" ”
Nangong Jingchen didn't ask what it was, his lips opened slightly, and he swallowed the pill.
Tilting her head, Bai Lilan smiled evilly: "You don't ask what this is, just eat it, aren't you afraid that I will give you poison?" ”
Nangong Jingchen still closed his eyes, lying on He Che's shoulder, and said slowly: "If Lan'er has all the intentions to harm me, then there is no one in this world who can be trusted." Whatever Lan'er does, it's for my good. ”
