Chapter 198: Are You Okay?
In the snake cave, Su Juan lay on the couch without making noise, what he can do now is to save his life, it is his plan to remove his armor and return to heaven, I hope that Qi Han will not miss such a god-given opportunity.
His eyes caught a glimpse of Wei Wuxian sitting quietly against the wall of the cave, his luck concentrating, as if he was practicing and pretending to sleep.
For a long time, this black-clothed person has not shown his true face, what kind of face is under the scarf? Could it be that he has seen someone before, afraid of being recognized.
There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the cave, Yue'er walked in from outside the cave, she picked some Zhu Guo and came back, and her eyes saw that Wei Wuxian was meditating intently.
Knowing the master's temper, he didn't bother him, walked up to Su Juan with the picked wild fruit, and glanced at Wei Wuxian with a slight hesitation, the master had ordered that he couldn't talk to Su Juan without permission.
Yue'er didn't say anything, and put it directly beside Su Juan, Yue'er put Zhu Guo down, immediately stood up, and retreated to the side.
Su Juan saw the vermilion fruit she handed to her hand, and she had seen it in the medical book, this vermilion vermilion fruit is a wild fruit of the Rosaceae family, which has the effect of replenishing qi, blood and moistening the lungs, seeing that this girl is not a vicious person.
Wei Wuxian was still sitting quietly and concentrating, his ears trembled slightly, and when he heard the faint sound of hurried footsteps outside the cave, he suddenly opened his eyes, and the man in black had already entered the cave.
Respectfully knelt down and said, "Master, there is a team that has entered the vicinity of the misty forest in the hinterland of Wangxian Mountain. ”
Wei Wuxian's eyes were gloomy, "I didn't expect King Lang's people to chase after him so quickly, how many people are there?"
"But a hundred people, and a few hunting dogs can chase the smell all the way. ”
This must be the exploration force of King Lang not to be afraid of, since they already know that they are in Wangxian Mountain, there is nothing to hide.
The misty forest in the southeast of Wangxian Mountain is a barrier to come here, and there are already ambushes and traps there, and their own people are in the shadows, and they are in an absolute advantage.
King Lang doesn't shed tears when he doesn't see the coffin, how can he persuade King Lang to compromise if he is not ruthless.
Ming Leng said: "Secretly rob and kill in the misty forest, whether it is a person or a dog, and then order someone to send a letter to warn King Lang, as long as he disbands the army, he will release Princess Lang, otherwise Princess Lang will definitely die." ”
Fluttering, Zhu Guo was scattered all over the place, Su Wan's eyebrows widened, and his heart was cold, he didn't expect this person to be so ruthless.
"You can't kill them, they're just here for me." You don't want Qi Han to disband the army, you let me go out and meet with Qi Han, I have a way to convince him. ”
The corners of Wei Wuxian's mouth hooked up a touch of hideousness, and his cold eyes looked at Su Xuan, "I naturally have my own methods, I don't need you to teach me how to do it." I won't kill King Lang, you'd better not meddle in your affairs, save your life and then negotiate terms with me. ”
The clouds and mist in Wangxian Mountain are diffuse, the air is diffused with a humid and thick breath, the light is damp and hot, the tall and towering trees, and the branches and wild vines are strangled and coiled.
Ling Aotian led the guards to walk hard among the old vines and dead branches, and the more he walked forward, the fog became thicker, and the whole team was deep in the fog and couldn't make out the direction.
Suddenly, a miserable scream was heard behind him, and several more soldiers were ambushed by the enemy.
The whole army put up a guard, the enemy was in the dark, hiding through the fog, everyone was staring at the fog with long knives in their hands, everyone was close together, everyone was nervous, I don't know who will be killed next?
The hair on his body was gradually stained with mist, and the long sword in Ling Aotian's hand was dyed with mist, turning into crystal droplets of water dripping along the sword body.
Attentively on guard, he listened to the sounds around him, his ears moved slightly, and he heard footsteps on his right.
In an instant, the long sword stabbed out, and the person who was hiding in the shadows sensed the murderous aura of the moment, picked up the weapon in his hand to block it, jumped out in an instant, and hid in the fog again.
Ling Aotian didn't dare to pursue, if he dispersed, it would be even more dangerous, and now he could only rest in place first, not daring to move forward rashly. I wonder when this strange mist will dissipate?
On the other side, Qi Han came to the foot of Wangxian Mountain with soldiers, for the three words of Wangxian Mountain, Qi Han naturally heard of it, the Rong family cemetery is on the west side of Wangxian Mountain, according to Wangxian Mountain, next to the Huai'an River.
Yizhou City is the hinterland of the plains, there are few hunting mountains and forests, ordinary people go to hand in the grain, their own family is not enough, where is the surplus food to raise dogs.
Hunting dogs are just playthings kept in captivity by rich squires, and in their eyes, dogs are more expensive than people, and those squires would not have taken them out unless it was ordered by King Lang.
There were no hunting dogs to guide the way, so Qi Han did not rush in, and found a local Lao Suo who knew the road conditions in the mountains with a lot of money.
Around sixty, dressed in coarse brown clothes, gray-brown white hair, lean body, brown face covered with vicissitudes, Lao Suo timidly knelt on the ground to pray for the cold.
"Small, small people have seen the prince. ”
Qi Han looked at Lao Su with his eyebrows, these people must have a hiding place if they want to live in the mountain, and asked: "Get up and speak, this king asks you if there is a cave on this mountain." ”
"Yes! Back to the prince, Wangxian Mountain spreads for more than 40 miles, and there are more than 30 large and small caves, and there are more than a dozen on this mountain alone. ”
Qi Han frowned slightly, could it be that more than 30 caves had to be investigated one by one, so when would they be found?
Then he asked, "Is there a cave suitable for human habitation?"
The old man lowered his eyes and said: "There is a place, there are more than a dozen unemployed vagrants living in this Wangxian Mountain who have lived on the mountain for many years, and they can't get along under the mountain, and they make a living by hunting hares. ”
"Okay, take the king with you. ”
The forest is reckless, the strange rocks are craggy, and the wind makes a rustling sound through the mountains and forests.
A group of people walked forward with vigorous steps, stepping on dead branches and leaves, vast barren grass, and birds and beasts dispersed everywhere they went.
After a day's walk, the sun was setting and the twilight was shrouded, and the people who prayed for the cold ordered the torches to be lit. Looking up, I saw a cave on the top of the mountain.
When I came to the entrance of the cave, I was about to enter the cave. Suddenly, an arrow whistled through the night sky, flew out of the forest, and ran towards the old man who led the way, but was pushed away by Qi Han, and the arrow hit the stone wall, emitting an instantaneous lightning. Fell to the ground with a letter attached to it.
The man was agile, and he didn't know where to go by the night, Qi Han unfolded the letterhead, and by the light of the torch, he could see the general idea of it, and the letter mentioned that as long as Qi Han disbanded the army, he would release Princess Lang, otherwise Princess Lang would definitely die.
Qi Han's eyes were filled with mist, and he smashed the letter with resentment, "These people are too arrogant." ”
It seems that Ah Juan should not be in this cave, night falls, the mountains and forests are difficult to hurry, tonight in this cave to stay overnight, ordered someone to pick up dry branches to prepare to light a bonfire.
Holding a torch in his hand, he saw the bonfire in the cave that had long been extinguished by the dim light, and he squatted down, stretched out his hand and took some wood ashes and twisted them lightly in his hands.
Look at the simple bed in the corner of the wall made of animal skin felt, stained with greasy, mottled fur.
It seemed to be stained with Ah Juan's breath, and he couldn't help but whisper softly: "Ah Juan, are you okay, did you live in this cave last night?"
