The four of them bowed their hands and waited for a long time, but there was no response from the cave. Beigong Yixiao and Beigong Yixiang glanced at each other and walked into the cave side by side. The soft light emitted by the starry night pearl on the top of the cave illuminates the cave hidden in the depths of the mountain, and the huge stone mirror reflects the night pearl on the top of the cave, reflecting each other up and down, making people feel as if they are in an ethereal world.

The scene in the cave was the same as when Beigong Zhao left, but it was a little quiet, except for the breathing and footsteps of the four people, only the gurgling sound of the wide dark river.

"What about Baichen Ancestor?" asked Beigong Yixiao to Beigong Zhao.

"When we left, the ancestor was still here, and in such a short period of time, it stands to reason that there shouldn't be anything wrong, so we have to leave in a hurry. Beigong Zhao replied while looking around.

Although the space inside the cave is wide, the ground is flat and unobstructed, except for the quietly flowing dark river and the gravel all over the ground, there is really no place for people to hide.

Guard Ling Zhang pointed to a boulder located in the corner of the cave and said to Beigong Yixiao: "Family Master, when we came in, the ancestor was behind this boulder. ”

After the four of them walked to the boulder that Ling Zhang pointed to, there was nothing, and only a half-eaten grilled fish on the ground came into view, and a small half of the fish tail remained, and the tooth marks on it could be clearly seen, and the fat that was roasted out of the fish skin had already solidified, like a layer of milky white frost.

"Old Ancestor is hiding behind this stone and eating grilled fish?" Looking at the fish bones on the ground, a touch of frost quickly rose on Beigong Yixiao's face, and the gaze that looked at Beigong Zhao was already as cold as ten thousand years of Xuan Ice, which made a layer of cold sweat instantly rise on the latter's back.

Beigong Zhao didn't think about how to answer, only heard a loud "bang", but it was Beigong Yixiao who slapped his palm on the boulder, and the palm force passed through the stone, leaving a three-inch-deep palm print on the side of the boulder!

"There's a word on it!" Ling Zhang shouted, pointing to the boulder.

It turned out that the palm of Beigong Yixiao shook off countless stone powders, revealing four rows of big characters carved out of sharp weapons: "The grace of the gift, inscribed in the heart; Beigong Zhao stared at the last four words, as if he was in an ice cellar, and his heart fell into the bottomless abyss.

He didn't have no doubts about the identity of the Baichen Ancestor at the beginning, but first, he had a preconceived idea, because this place was located in the belly of the mountain and was extremely secret, and the dark river was even deeper underground, except for the Baichen Ancestor and the limited people of the Beigong family, there was no reason for others to be able to enter;

The second is that the man took out two dragon scales from the ancestor's body, making him completely believe that this is the ancestor himself - after all, apart from the ancestor himself, who else in the world has the ability to remove two scales from a giant dragon that is infinitely close to the realm of the gods?

"The person you see is a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy?" Beigong Yixiao asked with a gloomy face, as if he remembered something, and took out a secret letter rolled into a thin tube from the spatial ring.

The letter was sealed with fire paint, but it had been opened, and three palm-sized pieces of paper were pulled out, one of which was filled with dense small letters, while the other two were two portraits.

"Have you seen this person?" Beigong Yixiao handed one of the portraits to Beigong Zhao, and when Beigong Zhao saw it, he immediately jumped up, "It's him, it's him who claims to be the ancestor of Baichen!

"This is a secret letter sent back by Mu Er from Ning Yuchuan, he has 20,000 cavalry, and is looking for these two people everywhere for the third prince, but why is this person here?"

Beigong Yixiang saw the portrait in his brother's hand, and took a deep breath, "It's him!" This son is Shi Zhiyi, the young city lord of Yunqi City, it is him, at Fu Linyue's birthday feast, he defeated that Da Xi Mengze with one punch, making the Da Xi family lose face!"

Beigong Yixiao's face was even more frosty, and he said sharply: "What a Yunqi City! What a Shi Zhiyi! Yixiang, you and Ling Zhang, carefully investigate here, looking for the whereabouts of Baichen Ancestor; Beigong Zhao, you go back to transfer troops, block the range of 300 miles from Wenxu Mountain, and give you seven days, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find out this Shi Zhiyi for me, I want to see people alive, and I want to see corpses when I die! If you can't find it, don't call Beigong Zhao in the future, change your name to Beigong Takemoto!"

If Shi Zhiyi is allowed to escape, then the Beigong family's assassination of the three princes and the secrets of the Baichen Ancestor will all be revealed to the world, and the consequences will be nothing less than a disaster for the Beigong family! Therefore, in the eyes of Beigong Yixiao, this sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, no matter what his identity, he must kill him quickly!

......

......

On the boundary of Yongzhou, a strange scene appeared: Beigong Mu, the second son of Beigong Yixiao, the head of the Beigong family, led 20,000 cavalry, and was searching for and rescuing Shi Zhiyi around Ningyuchuan on the order of the third prince Yu Zhongqian;

And Beigong Zhao, the second son of Beigong Yixiang, the younger brother of the head of the family, led another group of men and horses to search for the same person near Wenxu Mountain and Feng'an City, thousands of miles away from the Ningyu River, but their purpose was to kill Shi Zhiyi.

The world is unpredictable, and life is like a play.

At this time, Shi Zhiyi was washing his face with the two county lords of Yining by a stream more than 120 miles east of Wenxu Mountain.

"Brother Xiaoyi, then when will we be able to meet Brother Qianhuang?"

"You also heard when I asked for directions in that village just now, we are now near Feng'an City, the capital of Yongzhou, more than 2,000 miles away from Ningyuchuan, and at our current speed, it will take more than half a month to reach Ningyuchuan. But the problem now is that the Beigong family also knows that if we want to join Brother Zhongqian, we will inevitably re-fortify in the northeast, but I am afraid that we will already die before we see the shadow of Ning Yuchuan. ”

"Then what should we do now?" Lord Yi Ning picked up a handful of water, rubbed his little face vigorously, and turned to Shi Zhiyi to ask. The water droplets that remained on her face and hair, under the sunlight, emitted a colorful light, reflecting the crystal clear face of Lord Yining, and Shi Zhiyi was stunned for a moment.

"After a while, you still return to the ring space, I have decided that we will not go to find Brother Zhong Qian, but instead travel in the direction away from Ning Yuchuan, hoping to escape from their encirclement before the Beigong family reacts. As for Brother Zhongqian's side, if he can't find us all the time, he will have to return to Kyoto sooner or later, and if we can escape from Yongzhou alive, then let's see you in Kyoto."

"I don't want to go back to the ring space, I want to accompany you, it's too boring in the ring space......!

"And what?"

"And I'm afraid, once I'm in, I'll never be able to wait for you to let me out. Even if it's death, I don't want to hide in the ring and die in a daze. Lord Yi Ning looked up at Shi Zhiyi, his eyes were full of seriousness and firmness, and in his eyes and face, drops of water shone brightly under the sun, but he couldn't tell whether it was a stream or tears.

Shi Zhiyi looked deeply at the beautiful little face of Lord Yining, and suddenly had an urge to hug her into his arms from the depths of his heart. He suppressed this urge and exhaled a long breath, "Okay, then let's go together, but you have to listen to me, if you encounter a fight, I may not be able to take care of you, you have to obediently enter the ring space." ”

"Hmm!" the Lord of Ningjun laughed and nodded vigorously.
