Chapter 193: The Priest Leaves the Fire
The mountains are hidden in the mist, and the birds are hidden in the forest.
In one of the 100,000-mile mountains, the animals were startled, and there was a strange movement in the forest.
Dozens of men dressed in black walked through the dense forest without touching their feet, stopping at the sight of a tall rock wall.
The leader made a gesture, and the man in black suddenly scattered into the mountain like a tide, each of them was a point, and together they were the most impermeable net in the world.
The leader stood under the stone wall for a moment, glanced at the top of the mountain behind him, and then went around the stone wall and went deeper.
On the top of the mountain where his gaze had just rested, there was a large circular clearing paved with stone slabs, and the clearing was surrounded by complex totems, and the old blood stains were like dried soil, nourishing the mountain wind.
At this moment, there were two people standing above.
One of them was dressed in purple, with a clear appearance, and his eyebrows and eyes were gentle. At first glance, he is a person with excellent appearance, but his excessively young face and extremely mature temperament are superimposed, which makes people look indescribably weird.
It was the purple-clothed man who appeared in Feng Sichen's dormitory.
He stood in the cold wind at the top of the mountain, his brow furrowed slightly.
"Didn't find it?"
Standing behind him was a pot-bellied middle-aged man, full of wealth and nobility raised by money, and sneered when he heard his question.
"Since I received the news from His Royal Highness, I have been staring at Linyang, and I haven't even let go of the nearby villages and towns, I said this lord, are you sure that the third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion is here?"
His tone was not so friendly, but the man in purple didn't seem to realize it, he automatically filtered out the useless things in the middle-aged man's words, and distilled what he wanted to know.
"In other words, Lord Liu didn't find it."
Liu and Qingzhu choked and didn't speak.
"Withdraw all the people of Linyang City."
The man in purple rubbed a hard mask in his hand and stared at a leisurely path in the mountains.
"In addition, let the people in the Linyang prefect do it."
Liu and Qingzhu took a step forward, the fat on their bodies swaying like a ball only filled with water with the wind, and his expression was a little hesitant.
"Do you really want to do this? That's the lord of the prefect of a state, and His Highness can't move until he has to. ”
"Go for it."
The voice of the man in purple was still faint, like a puppet man with no feelings.
Liu and Qingzhu have dealt with this person twice in total, and his tone and demeanor have never changed. If it weren't for the fact that he had the seal of His Royal Highness the Honored King in his hand, he wouldn't want to deal with such a person if he was killed.
Such a person is either really desireless or a madman.
The Liu family under his command can achieve the position of the richest businessman in Linyang, and he still has this vision.
"My lord, I don't know what you're trying to do, but I still have to warn you."
Liu and Qingzhu are not good stubble, their faces sank at the moment, and the yin owl under their eyes was unabashedly revealed.
"His Royal Highness's order is to kill Shangguan Li, no matter what other plans you have, it is best for your lord to remember this matter clearly."
After saying that, he swayed down the mountain step by step.
The man in purple did not react to the threat in Liu and Qingzhu's words, he just rubbed the mask in his hand, and his eyes looked at the towering stone wall fixedly, as if he wanted to see a flower from it.
The speed of the wind changed, and a man in black appeared like a ghost in the position where Liu and Qingzhu were just staying. It was the leader of those men in black just now.
He bent over the man in purple, crossed his hands into fists over his chest, and whispered.
"Away from the Fire Priest, there is no sign of outsiders approaching around Anning Town, and the people you are waiting for have not yet arrived."
After a pause, he added.
"Who was that person just now, and he was disrespectful to you. Do you want to ......?"
"Not necessarily."
The man in purple - Lihuo finally spoke, his body moving, and the mask was withdrawn into his wide sleeve.
"Today is the fourth day of the twelfth month, how can the third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion not know, but another person must have come."
The leader obviously knew who the "other person" in his mouth was, and was taken aback, and his hand subconsciously put on the scimitar on his waist.
By the time he could react, Lihuo had already turned around and looked at him with those indifferent and distant eyes.
"Are you afraid?"
Without waiting for the leader to answer, he lowered his head slightly.
"Yes, Xuanyuan Night...... It is indeed Lan You's biggest enemy. Because he has had the upper hand in countless previous encounters, he would certainly think that this time would be the same. ”
"Huh."
He suddenly spat out a low laugh from his throat, obviously his voice was good, but the laughter was inexplicably weird.
"It's okay, leave him alone for the time being. After our people take control of the prefect, they can transfer the Linyang garrison, and you can arrange it when the time comes. Just as I said before and do it with you. ”
The leader had already calmed down, and when he heard the words, he performed that strange etiquette again, and withdrew.
Lihuo still stood in place, as if looking at the mountains below him, and as if he was looking at something else through those totems.
"It would have been better if I had done this earlier, and I would have suffered a little less sin."
In the dark passage, the elder, Xitu and Shangguan Li walked in a row. The elder tied a hemp rope around his neck very roughly, and the other end was in Situ's hand.
Shangguan Li walked leisurely at the back, observing the surroundings from time to time, and did not forget to say cool words in his mouth.
The elder's face turned pale, and he didn't want to say a word. Anyone who is being led like this beast will not look good.
As soon as his eyes widened, his neck was pulled, and he almost didn't come up for a breath.
Situ tightened the rope in his hand, and he didn't have a good airway.
"The old thing is still staring, if it weren't for my sister, I wouldn't have known that you lied to us so many things. It's already good to leave you alive, hurry up and lead the way, otherwise I don't care if your strange disease can prolong your life, and all beings are equal with a knife! ”
She has a bad temper, and she is a good hand at bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, and she has suppressed her nature in front of Shangguan Li and Xuanyuan Ye for a month, and finally found someone to play at this time.
So now I am very happy to torture this old man who is full of lies.
Shangguan Li's evaluation of this kind of behavior is: Whatever you want, don't kill it.
It's not a secret where An Ningzhen is, even if the elders want to pick up words to lie, they won't pick up this obvious fact. But he lied about it.
Why?
If what he subconsciously wanted to hide was not the destination of Anning Town, then there was another possibility: he wanted to hide the way to get there.
After using some coercion, inducement, and beating and intimidation, something useful was finally prying out of the old man's mouth.
There is an underground passage in the Ice Cave that leads to the town of Anning.
That's what they're walking right now.
