Chapter 36: Arrested Again
The four of them planned to go out through the window when they came in, but the fog outside had not yet dispersed, and it was still surprisingly quiet, which made Li Yiheng very nervous, it was so quiet, and there was not the slightest noise around. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Qingping was the last to turn it out, and when he settled, Li Yiheng signaled him not to move, Huo Yang also leaned over to observe the movements around him, with his keen intuition, nothing good would happen in such a quiet environment.
The little girl seemed to sense something, and gradually turned into the original red mushroom, slowly disappeared into the trunk of the tree under her feet, and disappeared.
"I'm going to find out. The little girl said before disappearing.
"With such a big fog, even if there are enemies, they may not be able to detect us. Li Yiheng thought so, hoping to relieve the tension in his heart.
No! There is a familiar smell! Xiao Ji looked at the right front alertly, and gently pecked Li Yiheng's neck, Li Yiheng immediately defended the right front, and at the same time slapped Huo Yang slightly, looking at the right front together, trying to discern the potential danger.
Although the surroundings are still quiet, the smell is getting stronger and stronger, Li Yiheng also smells this smell as if he is familiar, and the enemies he has encountered in the past few days quickly flashed in his mind, and there are only Ying Fang and the big fat worm! Yes, this smell is the big fat worm, it must be hidden nearby, and it is also discerning our smell, so he didn't do it for a long time. Li Yiheng thought about it and motioned for Huo Yang and Qingping to go first.
Huo Yang pointed to the roof of the temple, meaning to go to the top first, if there is a situation, it is better to find and get out in time at a high place, it is too passive to be below.
So Huo Yang and Qingping flew to the roof with Li Yiheng, and as soon as the three of them settled, a cloud of dark green slime suddenly flew from the right front that they had been paying attention to just now, and the three of them spread out to both sides, dodging this wave of attacks, and then three clouds of mucus attacked the three of them one after another, and it was obvious that the enemy not only found them, but also judged their number.
Li Yiheng dodged the shooting slime, and the slime hit the branches behind him, and the hit position quickly lost its moisture, withered and turned black.
"Big fat worm!" Before Li Yiheng could inform Huo Yang and Qingping, a huge black shadow bounced from the ground to the roof, and finally settled on the hit branch above the roof, sure enough, it was Ying Fang and the big fat worm.
Ying Fang said coldly: "It's still a step too late, you guys hurry up and hand over the light seed, otherwise none of them will want to leave alive." ”
Li Yiheng said sarcastically to Ying: "It turned out that he was a defeated general, and he dared to come to hinder your master, his face is really thick, just like that big fat worm." ”
Ying Fang was already irritable, and when he heard Li Yiheng say this, he was even more hot, and the same ten fingers grew black filaments, manipulating the big fat insect to release the "cracking shock", and for a while, the familiar feeling of oppression hit again.
But this time Xiao Ji has a way to deal with the big fat worm, just when he saw the big fat worm, Xiao Ji has already expanded his body and confronted the big fat worm, the big fat worm suffered a loss last time, and he knew that Xiao Ji was powerful, but because he was controlled by Yingfang, although he was extremely reluctant, he was also helpless to attack Li Yiheng and Xiao Ji.
only heard the sound of Xiao Xiao's wings, and the rough cry immediately resolved the "cracking shock", and at the same time, Li Yiheng also saw that the body of the big fat insect trembled because of fear.
Seeing that the attack was ineffective, Ying Fang continued to manipulate the big fat worm to spray dark green corrosive mucus to attack Li Yiheng and them, but this level of attack was easily dodged by the three of them.
"Hmph, I won't let you run away again this time. Li Yiheng shouted, urging Xiao Ji to fly towards Yingfang, and the umbrella blade of his right arm slashed through the mist, bringing a whirlpool of air currents, and slashing Yingfang's head.
Yingfang's pair of black wings blocked in front of him without any scruples, and Li Yiheng's umbrella blade made a "sonorous" sound on the wings, as if hitting the steel plate, but Li Yiheng's umbrella blade could cut the steel plate, but it could not cut the pair of black wings.
Ying Fang blocked Li Yiheng's attack, and then controlled the big fat insect to bounce to the distant branches, widening the distance between him and Li Yiheng.
At the same time, two groups of Tu Meng soldiers suddenly appeared around the temple, and behind the soldiers were Tu Meng's believers, about twenty, which should be the twenty pro-disciples Huo Yang said.
Li Yiheng looked at the soldiers who were constantly emerging around him, the temple had been surrounded, Huo Yang had been injured, plus Qingping, it was impossible for the two of them to stop so many soldiers, and now they were entangled by Yingfang, so they couldn't just consume it.
Li Yiheng took out the water-repellent beads from the necklace, held them tightly in his right hand, and the water-repellent beads released a heavy water wall around the umbrella shield, and then Li Yiheng ordered Xiao Ji to fly to Huo Yang and Qingping, and the big fat worm took the opportunity to continuously shoot slime at Li Yiheng, Li Yiheng encouraged the umbrella shield with the protection of the water wall, and flicked the flying slime to the Tu Alliance soldiers around in turn, these soldiers were hit, corroded by the dark green sticky, rolling on the ground and wailing, and soon the places where they were hit were corroded and only a piece of dead skin remained.
Realizing that such an attack would only cause casualties to his men, Ying Fang stopped the attack and thought of other ways.
Just when Ying Fang was thinking, Xiao Ji had already carried Li Yiheng, Huo Yang and Qingping to a high place.
Xiao Ji's speed was very fast, and within the time that Ying Fang reacted, he had already opened up the distance between him and the Tu Meng soldiers, and the Tu Meng soldiers also waved their wings in a team to chase Xiao Ji, but they were stopped by Ying Fang, and everyone didn't know why, watching Xiao Ji disappear into the fog.
Li Yiheng was also very surprised by Yingfang's approach, but now he could only escape, and Xiao Ji flew up under Li Yiheng's command and came to the growing place of the light tree "Mulberry Ginseng".
The familiar wooden monument, as well as the hanging branches of "mulberry ginseng", are soaked in the mist, but they reveal the meaning of desolation.
"Why didn't they chase after him?" asked Qingping, who was lying on Xiao Yan's back, but he didn't know if he was asking Li Yiheng or Huo Yang.
Huo Yang covered his right foot, took a breath of cool air because of the pain in his muscles and bones, and the attack of the big fat insect just now became stronger again, and now his right foot is swollen twice the size of his left foot, and it looks chubby, like a freshly filled ball, which will float up at any time.
"I must be afraid of Xiao Ji, Xiao Ji is the nemesis of the fat worm, any tricks of the fat worm will be invalid in front of Xiao Ji, if it were me, I wouldn't catch up and send him to death. Huo Yang said, trying to stretch out his legs and twist his ankles.
Li Yiheng didn't think so, with their numerical advantage, they could completely drag down the three of them, and Xiao Ding, there must still be a trap if they gave up chasing after them.
And in fact, just as Li Yiheng expected, the surrounding air was under the background of the fog, and there was a tendency to accelerate, and the sound of flapping wings became more and more intensive, and the three of them were at a loss for a while, they could still be rounded up in such a big fog, it was useless to escape, they always had to be caught up.
The sound of countless wings flapping gradually became clear, and Li Yiheng could see a large number of black shadows flashing not far away, forcing them from all directions, leaving Li Yiheng no room for them to escape.
Finally, the three of them and Xiao Ji were able to see clearly, the people who came around were all with eagle-like wings behind them, and the leader in front of them was a young man in a black robe, who looked to be about the same age as Li Yiheng, holding a silver halberd, but his face revealed kindness.
Seeing Li Yiheng and the others clearly, the young man led by him spoke: "I am the prince of the Ying clan, and I am now arresting you for theft, I hope you will not make senseless resistance and aggravate your injuries." ”
Huo Yang recognized the person in front of him, stretched out his legs and sat down, his hands on the ground, with a free and easy expression: "It turned out to be King Yingmingzhe, who asked the king about the benevolent and righteous governance, and I heard that the king had no racial discrimination, the old man now asks, in the name of the Tu League, your country's Tu League wantonly enslaved and slaughtered foreigners, and you turned a blind eye and let it go, is it against your benevolent and righteous government? The Qing and Huo people are suffering a hard life in the lower classes because they are suppressed, and you also turn a blind eye, let me ask, is this benevolent government?"
I don't know if Huo Yang's words moved Ying Mingzhe, but they made Li Yiheng respectful: "I always thought you were a big boss, I didn't expect you to have such profound political insights, I really admire, I apologize for my reckless cognition at the beginning." ”
Huo Yang whispered to Li Yiheng: "Sensei pretend to be modest to Lao Tzu, I taught me this by the old man of Qing Wanjin before leaving, and he calculated that one day he would meet Ying Mingzhe, the eighth lamb of the king, so let me memorize it in advance and use it in case of emergency. ”
This sentence made Li Yiheng and Qingping's originally fiery admiration freeze to freezing point again, and Qingping even asked seriously: "What Qing and Huo people live in dire straits, and it is our Qing ethnic group who really live in dire straits!"
Huo Yang still pretended to be serious and looked at Ying Mingzhe, waiting for his reply.
Ying Mingzhe was originally going to arrest Li Yiheng and others, but after Huo Yang's questioning, he didn't know how to answer, so he stopped in mid-air, at a loss.
But he quickly regained his composure and asked, "Even if you have all kinds of reasons, you should not steal our country's light seeds and kill our soldiers in our country. ”
At this time, Qingping rushed in front of Huo Yang and replied: "Tu Meng advocates cults and enslaves my people, not only our Qing clan, but even the people of the Falcon clan can't get along with them, isn't this Tu Meng's own fault?"
Seeing that the original round-up was about to turn into a discussion meeting, the generals around Ying Mingzhe ordered his subordinates: "Don't talk nonsense, come forward and tie them up." ”
The soldiers around him, who were originally stagnant, were ordered to approach Li Yiheng and the others, and Li Yiheng and Xiao Ji entered a defensive state, but at this moment, Huo Yang came up with a sentence: "Two little brothers, don't bother, there will be a turnaround in their hands, if it falls into the hands of Tu Meng's gang, they will kill us on the spot, so it's better to go with them first." ”
Li Yiheng quickly weighed the pros and cons between them, and felt that he still had to take a big risk in doing so, and no one could guarantee whether Ying Mingzhe would hand them over to Yingfang.
Huo Yang saw Li Yiheng's concerns and said: "Don't worry, this kid Ying Mingzhe still has a bit of backbone, and he is doing this for the sake of the unification of the whole country......
"That's why I'm worried that he will hand us over to Yingfang, the call you just learned is okay, and now you have to think about it for yourself, it's so bad!" Li Yiheng interrupted Huo Yang's words.
"Hey, you kid, do you want to be beaten, don't look at my foot injury now, I still beat you and call grandpa. Huo Yang was about to stand up as he spoke, Qingping hurriedly stabilized Huo Yang, and kept glaring at Li Yiheng.
The soldiers around had never encountered such a situation, and seeing that the foreign enemy was approaching, they were still able to take care of themselves and fight among themselves, and they didn't know for a while whether to wait for their internal fighting to end or capture them first.
Just when the soldiers around him hesitated, Ying Fang also arrived and stopped on the opposite side of Ying Mingzhe, but the big fat worm was gone, and the two sides glanced at each other and did not speak.
"Yes, it's a two-way army now, what should I do?" Qingping, who was persuading, saw that Ying Fang also rushed over with his troops, and asked Huo Yang and Li Yiheng angrily.
At this time, Ying Fang said to Ying Mingzhe: "Your Majesty, it is better to hand over these thieves to your subordinates, what do you think?"
Li Yiheng and the three of them looked at Ying Mingzhe nervously, hoping that Ying Mingzhe's reply would be beneficial to them.
Ying Mingzhe also seemed to have made up his mind, and said: "There are still many things I need to know about them, I will take them back first, and I will make a decision after the trial." ”
Li Yiheng and the others breathed a long sigh of relief, this time the bet was won, and the bet on Ying Mingzhe was really right, Li Yiheng and the three of them looked back at Ying Fang, only to see that his forehead was bruised, and his eyes were wide open, but he was helpless, and said to Ying Mingzhe: "My subordinates will retire, but the light seed also asks the king to give it to us for research." After saying that, he immediately left with his own soldiers.
Ying Mingzhe ordered the soldiers to tie up Li Yiheng and the three of them, as well as Xiao Ji, whose paws were tied together, locked in a birdcage, and carried by a soldier to the Ying palace.
Li Yiheng and the three of them were escorted to the main hall of the palace, Li Yiheng saw that the palace of the Ying people was almost exactly the same as the palace of the Huo people, and even the plaque in the middle of the hall was hung with the same words "as the sun and the sky", Li Yiheng suspected that the palace of the Huo people was built after the palace of the Ying people, representing the immortal ambition of the Huo people for the highest power.
So, while waiting for Ying Mingzhe to go to the apse to change clothes, Li Yiheng asked Huo Yang quietly: "Old man, how is it that the buildings of your Huo people are the same as the buildings of the Ying people, and even the layout in the main hall is the same, is it that you Huo people have always coveted the status of the Ying people, so they built the same palace to show their ambitions?"
Huo Yang immediately snorted and retorted: "It was their Ying clan who occupied our palace, earlier our Huo clan was the highest ruler, we were the highest king, if it weren't for the spies who infiltrated our country to steal military intelligence, causing us to be defeated, we were forced to succumb to the middle level, so our king will strictly interrogate anyone who enters the territory, and those who trespass will be directly executed." ”
After listening to Huo Yang's words, I thought that when he and Qingping entered the territory of the Huo people, the king of the Huo tribe couldn't help but say that if they were chuang, they would be executed on the charge of espionage.
The cage with Xiao Ji was also placed in front of Li Yiheng, and Xiao Ji could only fall to the ground because he was tied with his paws and mouth, and he couldn't scream if he wanted to.
Qingping's state of mind at the moment is very different, since leaving the Qing clan, first full of self-confidence, and then experienced the tragic dismemberment of the temple underground, and now he is caught by the Ying clan, I really don't know what will happen next, if I spend the rest of my life in prison, I will live up to the expectations of the patriarch, and my ideals will be ruined here.
After a while, Ying Mingzhe changed the gray-yellow robe he wore when he was working, which was covered with eagle-shaped patterns, and the eyes of each eagle were extremely sharp.
After Ying Mingzhe sat down in the hall, he looked down at Li Yiheng and the three people in the hall, and said, "Come on, please ask the old gentleman to hand over the light seed." ”
A soldier dressed in a black one-piece long uniform with a pair of gray eagle wings on his chest stepped forward, untied the black cloth bag hanging on Huo Yang's waist, and presented it to the hall.
Li Yiheng saw that there was only one in the cloth bag, so he knew that this one was fake, and asked Huo Yang quietly: "You are so cunning, where is the real one?"
Huo Yang just smiled mysteriously, silent, Li Yiheng was even more anxious, leaned to Huo Yang's side, and was about to speak, Ying Mingzhe in the hall held the fake light seed with one hand, and said: "Since you can obtain the light seed, it means that you have been lurking in our country for a long time and have found a lot of information, I can't just let you go back, as for the purpose of your stealing the light seed, I don't care, but from now on, you will live here permanently." ”
Hearing Ying Mingzhe's words, Qingping almost fainted, the more he was afraid of something, the more he was afraid, the more he prayed just now that it would not be this result, but this is it, what can I do now, my ideals are really going to be buried here.
Li Yiheng didn't seem to be worried about such a result, and Huo Yang also looked indifferent, and only listened to Ying Mingzhe's order: "Come on, put them in an iron prison first, but you have to watch carefully." ”
The three guards escorted Li Yiheng and others, and also carried the cage where Xiao Ji was imprisoned, and came to the so-called "iron prison" on the right side of the palace, which was also built in the trunk of a tree and watered with the branches and leaves of the iron tree.
