In the depths of the mountains, the night wind became more and more rapid and frenzied, whistling past the ears, and the light and thin moonlight flowed through the forest, and the night was like an abyss, swallowing up most of the mountains.

Li Sheng was indeed very familiar with this place, and took the three of them around, sometimes clearly seeing that there was no road ahead, but he was confident that he would soon be able to clear the clouds and find a path that was extremely secret.

The mountain paths are hidden and rugged, and the roads that have been uncleaned all year round are full of rotten grass and rotten leaves that have accumulated for an unknown number of years, exuding the smell of old decay, dampness and mold.

Han Changdui followed Li Sheng forward in hot pursuit, and did not forget to pay attention to the hidden path that he walked around.

These paths were haphazardly hidden under a thick layer of blades of grass, and Han Changdui kicked away the fallen leaves so that he could faintly see the traces of the muddy paths.

There are no special markings around the path, and Li Sheng can't find any pattern when he leads the way in front, and he goes around and around, which makes people think of headless flies for no reason.

At this time, Han Changdui began to miss Yao Qi's good memory.

He turned his head to look at Li Sheng, who was always calm and relaxed, and did not squint, and there were many doubts in his heart.

This road is obviously not the road up the mountain that Han Changdui walked before, how did Li Sheng find such a hidden road? How can you remember it so clearly?

Li Sheng noticed Han Changdu's gaze from time to time, turned his head and smiled strangely: "The envoy doesn't have to bother to guess anything, this road is not built by manpower, there is no law to follow, only this trip can't be remembered, this road was learned by accident, outsiders don't know, if the envoy plans to cook the rabbit and the dog, you have to think about it carefully." ”

Han Changdui said frankly: "The Wooden Holy Envoy is too worried, and this official is worried that the Wooden Holy Envoy will throw us in the middle of the road. ”

Li Sheng smiled: "Now you and I are grasshoppers on a rope, I can't do anything big by myself, and I have to rely on the power of the envoy, how can I do this kind of self-defeating thing before the big thing is done?" ”

Han Changwan choked for a while, took a deep breath, and continued to walk side by side with Li Sheng.

Unconsciously, the group has rushed to the depths of the mountains, in the quiet deep mountains, the pale white mist wanders among the trees and trees, standing on a mountain beam and looking down, you can see the lights on the original mountain road.

How many Yulin troops came to take over, Han Changwan had a good idea in his heart, but at this time, standing on the mountain beam, he saw the dense and shaking lights below, and his eyebrows jumped heavily.

But the current posture under the mountain, the number of people gathered, obviously not only the Yulin army he saw just now, it seems that after he left, a large number of Yulin troops rushed here one after another.

What exactly is the Yulin Army going to do? What exactly does a saint do? What's in Qingyun Village? If it weren't for the order of the saint, could there be another force that could mobilize the Yulin Army at will?

Han Changdu's whole person seemed to be in a fog, and he couldn't see what the road ahead was, let alone the hands hidden in the shadows to control all this.

The lights under the mountain beams flickered brightly and dimly in the mountains, like fireflies walking through the forest.

"Let's go." Li Sheng seemed to see Han Changdui's uneasiness, he empathized with this uneasiness, stabilized his mind, and continued: "To bypass this mountain beam, you have to walk for more than an hour before you can reach the outside of the cottage. He looked up at the sky: "If you want to rush to the cottage before dawn, I'm afraid that the envoy won't have time to be sad." ”

Han Changdui glanced at Li Sheng lightly, walked under the mountain beam, and asked with a smile: "The cottage is surrounded by cliffs, is the wooden holy envoy going to take us to jump off the cliff?" ”

Li Sheng heard the tentative meaning in Han Changdu's words, and he knew very well in his heart that he had come to this point, if the two of them were still trying to guard against each other, they were afraid that internal strife would come.

He grinded his teeth: "The Qingyun Village that the envoy saw is just a village on the mountain, in fact, the mountain where Qingyun Village is located, there are many naturally formed caves in the belly of the mountain, and later we used those caves to build secret passages and dark rooms in the belly of the mountain. ”

Han Changdui suddenly realized: "And the secret passage in the belly of the mountain can avoid the gate of the village and lead to a certain place in the cottage and the mountain range beyond the cliff. ”

Li Sheng nodded.

Han Changwan asked puzzledly: "It takes a lot of manpower to build such a secret passage, except for you and the third prince, isn't there a third person who knows, what about the craftsman who built this secret passage in the first place?" He paused slightly: "You killed them all?" ”

Li Sheng's face changed slightly, and he pursed his lips and said nothing, which can be regarded as acquiescing in this matter.

Han Changdui turned his head and looked at the deep and quiet mountains, there are countless tragic things in the world, and there are countless poor people, this matter will not be the end.

In the middle of the night when the moon was sparse, the edge of the cliff was pitch black, Qiu Fu stood in the dark, his back straight, and behind him stood a man, his beardless jaw glowing white in the moonlight.

"How do you get over such a deep cliff?" The man opened his mouth, and the voice of the man and woman was indistinguishable, as if his throat was smoked by the smoke and fire, which was particularly harsh.

Qiu Fu puffed out his cheeks twice, used all his strength to endure the impatience that was about to erupt, and tried his best to speak in a calm tone: "There is a ropeway." ”

The man didn't care about Qiu Fu's disrespectful attitude, and sneered lightly: "Cableway, are the bandits stupid, obediently waiting for us to take the ropeway to beat them?" ”

Qiu Fu was already full of impatience, he was the most impatient to deal with these eunuchs in his life, if he didn't ask for others, why should he be angry here, he listened to the man's yin and yang strange words, gritted his teeth and endured it, and spit out a sentence lightly: "The water bandits just recognize the flag and don't recognize people." ”

The man knew very well that Qiu Fu had already endured him, and he felt very comfortable, even the wind and food on this errand and sleeping in the open were so insignificant.

He sighed contemptuously: "Commander Qiu still understands the flag language, and he is really knowledgeable, no wonder His Highness values the commander so much." ”

None of the people who can occupy a place in the Beiya Forbidden Army are stupid, Qiu Fu knows the cynicism in the man's words, and he knows very well that this person's ridicule of him in and out of his words is just to provoke him and make him commit a catastrophe in anger and shame, so as to offset his great achievements this time.

How could a shrewd person like Qiu Fu let the man's treacherous scheme succeed, these words were like clouds of smoke in his ears

After a while, it dissipated with the wind.

"The last general, thank you Huang Nei for the compliment." He smiled faintly, turned his head, and looked at the night with a faint expression.

When the man heard this, he raised his head in astonishment, full of doubts, how could Qiu Fu, who had always been rather bent and have a fiery temper, suddenly change his sex.

The torch that was clearly extinguished illuminated most of the man's face, his cheeks were sunken, his eyes were blue, and his whole face was gloomy and gloomy, revealing the miserable white of not seeing sunlight all year round.

Huang Lianyun was originally the chief eunuch in the palace of Concubine Da Yang, after the death of Concubine Da Yang, he invited himself to the abolished palace because of his poor service, and since then he has rarely appeared in front of people, but for some reason, he actually came here with Qiu Fu.

Rushing in the mountains and forests in the shade all the year round, my body was unconsciously stained with a layer of damp moisture.

Li Sheng led Han Changwan and a few people out of a narrow and deep cave, and the originally steep mountain suddenly became gentle.

Han Changdui walked on a mess of rocks, the rocks here were sharp and dense, the wild grass was sparse and weak, and the glittering dew on the tips of the leaves pressed the slender leaves to the ground, and they had obviously gone around to the shady side of the mountain, and they couldn't see the lights at all.

He looked far away, and the ground was littered with rocks of different sizes, with large boulders as tall as a man, and small gravel scattered like gravel.

His eyes flashed, and his hand unintentionally rested on a half-human-high boulder beside him, slowly rubbing the deep marks crisscrossing his head.

Li Sheng discerned the direction for a moment, turned his head and saw Han Changdu's movements, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a look of vigilance, and he said firmly: "Master Envoy, there is the entrance of the secret passage not far ahead." ”

Han Changwan snorted, raised his head, and the light in his eyes was about to appear: "Is there anything that the Wood Holy Envoy forgot to say?" ”

Li Sheng's expression was blank for a moment, and he pulled the corners of his mouth: "I don't understand what the envoy is saying." ”

Han Changwan nodded at the boulder in his hand and snorted: "Such a large whetstone pestle is here, and the official's eyes are not blind yet. ”

Li Sheng coughed lightly in embarrassment, and said with difficulty: "This place is the boundary of Qingyun Village, and some traces of slashing with knives and axes are also commonplace." ”

Han Changdui snorted, how stupid does he have to be to believe Li Sheng's nonsense, it seems that he can't ask the truth from Li Sheng's mouth, he looked up at Du Feng, who was half of his body hidden in the night, suddenly smiled, and walked towards Li Sheng.

Li Sheng was furious by Han Changdu's weird smile, twisted his head and stared at Han Changdui for a long time, seeing that he always looked as usual and weak, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and walked into the vast night with the craggy rocks.

Han Changdui glanced at Wang Xian, and then followed Li Sheng.

Wang Xian understood, grabbed Du Feng's shoulder, and put a smile on his face: "Little brother, this errand is not easy to do." ”

Wang Xian looks dignified, at first glance, he is a responsible person, and when he laughs, his eyes narrowed into a slit, adding a bit of honesty, making people feel that his mouth is strict and reliable at a glance.

Du Feng was obviously deceived by Wang Xian's very confusing appearance, and along the way, Wang Xian was a man of few words, his vigilance was half lowered, and he smiled: "It's a little difficult to go, you follow me." ”
