Chapter Twenty-Seven: Undercover - Huo Yang

Qingping and Li Yiheng avoided the sight of pedestrians and returned to the resettlement hut, Qingping was very mentally hit by this outing, and he sat silently all day alone, ignoring Li Yiheng. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Miss Yingci didn't come back this day, otherwise comforting Qingping might still help.

Therefore, only Li Yiheng and Xiao Ji are still normal.

Li Yiheng climbed onto the roof, looking for the so-called "mulberry ginseng".

But seeing that in the center of the city, there are layers of houses that are gradually building to a higher place, arranged in a staggered manner, compared to the houses on the bottom floor of the city where Li Yiheng lives now, it is more exquisite, Li Yiheng thinks that it must be the place where the royal family lives.

Continuing to look at the top floor of the building, there was only one house on a huge branch, which was unusually lonely compared to the houses on the lower floors - this was the tallest building in the entire Thorn Ball world.

Looking for the direction of the light, Li Yi looked sideways and saw that on the opposite side of the city, on the top floor of the banyan tree that formed the entire thorn world, there was a big tree with branches that were also scattered and spread for a long time, and the light source of the thorn world came from here.

But what seems like a close distance is always a long way to act.

Li Yiheng returned to the house and saw Qingping pacing back and forth, and there were words in his mouth: "What are you doing this for?

Li Yiheng knew that the blow to him from the last Qing slave incident had not fully recovered, and even had a tendency to become more and more serious, and Qingping began to question the significance of this trip, and even whether the action should continue would be a question.

Xiao Ji seems to have a great feeling about Qingping's affairs, and every time he sees Qingping's appearance, he always shakes his head and sighs, maybe, it resonates with Qingping's responsibility and the blow he suffered.

But things can't just wait, there must always be a result in action, whether to do it or not, just wait for Qingping's answer.

So Li Yiheng finally ruthlessly did something he had always wanted to do - a resounding slap in the face to make Qingping sober up.

The strength of this slap was just right, not light or heavy, and instantly knocked Qingping back to reality, Qingping stroked the faint five finger prints on his face, and looked at Li Yiheng and Xiao Ji with a solemn face, and they were also angry.

"Okay, now discuss the matter of stealing the fruit of 'Mulberry Ginseng', put aside the previous matters for the time being, this is the primary task of this trip, Qingping, don't let me slap you again, my hands hurt so much." Don't apologize to me yet. Li Yiheng said to Qingping both seriously and sarcastically.

"Why does your hand hurt!" How can he apologize to Li Yiheng for being beaten, but after Li Yiheng's ridicule, he didn't care about the pain of this slap at all.

Li Yiheng and Qingping came to the center of the city again in disguise, looked at the rising houses and the dense guard towers around them, and discussed countermeasures.

"Old question, how can I go up so that I don't find out?" Li Yi asked Qingping as he looked at the house submerged in the steam.

"It's not difficult this time, it's very foggy here, just enough to hide. Qingping said, already jumping up on the branches.

Because Li Yiheng and Qingping were wearing a clear gray robe unique to the Ying clan, this added a lot of convenience to the two, and occasionally encountered some pedestrians who did not see anything unusual about the two. The thick fog also played a vital role in becoming a natural barrier that obstructed the view of the soldiers defending the city.

At present, it seems that the time and place are already available, and only that little bit of people is needed to successfully reach the growth place of "mulberry ginseng".

The higher you go, the fog is getting thicker and thicker, "mulberry ginseng" The light emitted only left a vague outline, and what was more difficult was that Li Yiheng had difficulty seeing the position of the branches above, which increased the difficulty of jumping and climbing; Qingping did not dare to fly blindly, because the sound of wings trembling was very different from the sound of the wings flapping of the Ying clan, although the sentry could not see, but the sound would cause the vigilance of the city people, and then report to the sentry, which was also a very dangerous practice, so he could only climb and jump with Li Yiheng and move the branch upward.

With the bounce of a leaf, the two jumped onto a wider branch, on which the inhabitants looked wealthy, and the houses were not only magnificent, but also distinctive, like the difference between a villa in a city and a residential building in a community.

"This must be the rich area of the Ying clan, you see that these early risers are dressed as servants. Li Yiheng pointed to a middle-aged man who was cleaning the road in front of the door nearby.

The middle-aged man also found Li Yiheng and Qingping, so he greeted them: "Two Ada, so early?"

"Ada" is the name of the servants of the Ying clan to the nobles, and the middle-aged man regards Li Yiheng and Qingping as nobles, so he greets them like this.

However, Li Yiheng and Qingping didn't know the meaning of "Ada", nor did they understand the humanities and customs of the locals, but looking at the middle-aged man's polite tone, Li Yiheng felt that the middle-aged man was very respectful to them and had no offense, so Li Yiheng replied in a calm voice: "Yes, early." ”

Li Yiheng and Qingping were in a hurry to leave, but the middle-aged man seemed to sense something and continued to talk to Li Yiheng: "Do the two Adas live nearby, I know all the people here, but the two of them don't seem to live here?"

Li Yiheng thought: "Are the servants here nosy, and I still have to greet you where I live?"

Qingping was afraid that Li Yiheng would say too much, so he pulled Li Yiheng and was about to leave, and his tone towards the middle-aged man became sharp: "Don't take care of what should be managed, don't care about what shouldn't be managed, so as not to make trouble for yourself." ”

Qingping's move obviously frightened the middle-aged man, lowered his head and continued to sweep the floor and stop talking, but Qingping was a little unbearable, they were all people living at the bottom, and the middle-aged man was just doing his duty, and talking to him like this went against his will to respect his elders.

The two were about to turn around and leave, when the middle-aged man spoke again: "A group of soldiers just passed, two Ada be careful." ”

"Could it be that he is also a member of the Qing Clan, and he recognizes that we are not the people of the city here, so he reminds us?" Qingping's heart began to stir.

The two of them continued to hurry, and after a short time they had come to the bottom of the "mulberry ginseng", and were about to rest for a while, when they suddenly heard the sound of weapons striking in the thick fog, which was particularly harsh in the silence of the morning.

"Be on guard. Li Yiheng reminded Qingping, and at the same time, the umbrella blade of his right arm had been stretched out, faintly exuding a cold air.

Li Yiheng and Qingping carefully searched for the direction of the sound, and the dense fog under their feet was driven into a small whirlpool, and then disappeared again.

As the sound of metal hitting became clearer and clearer, Li Yiheng vaguely saw several figures flashing not far away, and the sound came from there.

The two of them moved towards the black shadow by clinging to the branches, and gradually saw that it was five soldiers besieging a man who was about the same age as Qing Wanjin, and what surprised Qing Ping even more was that the man had Qing Clan-like wings on his back, and he was a member of the Qing Clan!

A soldier shouted to the man: "Huo Yang, you have repeatedly violated the Holy Land, don't try to run away again today." ”

Huo Yang snorted coldly: "The old man will run to show you today!"

As he spoke, the old man had already slashed the eagle'sbill-shaped steel knife in his hand at the three soldiers in front of him, one of them held a spear to block the blow, and the other two attacked the old man's lower plate at the same time, and the two soldiers behind the old man also took the opportunity to swing their spears and stab him in the back, leaving the old man a chance to breathe.

Although the old man was old, he still waved the steel knife to bring out the "whirring" wind, and he was on par with the five soldiers.

Qingping saw that it was his own clansmen, so he was about to step forward to help, but was stopped by Li Yiheng, who pointed to the branches on the high place of the fighting soldiers, signaling not to make any moves.

Qingping followed the direction of Li Yiheng's finger, and saw dense black shadows arranged on the branches of many layers, and a breeze blew the fog above.

And the old man also noticed an unusual movement in the air at this moment, and realized that the five people who were fighting against him in front of him were just bait, the purpose was to force himself here, and then the large army would go out to capture him.

It's a pity that it's too late, he has already been tricked, and the large army in the air suddenly dispatched, surrounding the old man, like a moving clock, covering the old man, and will follow the old man's movements, always firmly enclosing the old man inside.

Li Yiheng could see that the old man was captured alive this time, because this number of soldiers was the level of an army, and they could easily kill the old man, but they didn't, but chose this way of encirclement and suppression, presumably to capture him alive.

Soon, the human bell disintegrated and dispersed, revealing the old man who had been tied up inside, who had completely lost his ability to move and was escorted away by the soldiers.

Seeing that the clansmen were captured, Qingping was annoyed, but Li Yiheng didn't allow Qingping to think too much at the moment, and motioned for them to quietly follow the evacuated soldiers, because Li Yiheng found that the direction of the soldiers' evacuation happened to be the place where they were going - the place where "mulberry ginseng" grows.
