Chapter 213: Ice Rain Mountain Temple
Late that night, Xu Zun and his party went to the barren mountain and found a dilapidated mountain temple to camp and rest.
When the ship was originally designed to explode, Xu Zun deliberately asked Liu Dong to delay the two carriages on board, so he was naturally reluctant to blow them up together.
At this moment, their original team was returning by land, in addition to Huo Anu and the others and eight guards, there were also two more prisoners, that is, Ye Hanchen's two apprentices, Zijian Feishuang.
Since these two people knew the secret that Xu Zun was not killed, Xu Zun had to personally escort them back to Xuanmiao City.
Of course, there was an explosion at the Kuhe Wharf, and Xu Zun could deceive the Xuanmen and the party, but he could not deceive the imperial court.
Therefore, Ah Xiu Zai and others had already passed the book and reported the news that Xu Zun was still alive to the Internal Security Mansion to avoid misunderstanding.
At this moment, the two carriages drove into the mountain temple, everyone was busy lighting a fire and cooking, and Xu Zun got into the car to check on Dai Long's injuries.
Dai Long is also a fortune teller, the wound bitten by the leopard has been stitched up, and the bleeding has stopped. However, although his life was saved, he was still weak and could not speak.
Along the way, Xu Zun arranged him in the carriage and was taken care of by a guard and Zhao Yu.
At the same time, the two prisoners were also being held in the carriage.
Without Xu Zun's instructions, Zhao Yu also knew what Xu Zun meant, and he must have asked him to chat with Purple Sword Feishuang along the way, so that they could tell more secrets of the Xuanmen.
"My lord......" In the carriage, Ah Xiu Zai said to Xu Zun, "Do you think that Ye Hanchen is right?" Xuanmen really has so much strength to be able to cause chaos in Xuanmiao City? And...... If the sky changes, it will be a sword aimed at the Holy Lord and the Holy Queen Mother! ”
"Yes," Zhao Yu expressed his worries, "Don't forget that we found so many beautiful girls who have been brainwashed into assassins in Shangyuan City!"
"They put so much effort into it, and I feel that those girls must be a more important part of them."
"Hmm......" Xu Zun nodded slightly, "There is no need for Ye Hanchen to tell this kind of lie, Xuanmen must take action." I suspect that they are already dormant in the Holy Capital. ”
"Won't it?" Ah Xiu Zai frowned, "The internal guards are all over the Holy Capital, monitoring all walks of life, all mansions and houses, if the Xuanmen is really controlled, how deep does the ambush have to be?" ”
"Anyway," Xu Zun said, "When I go back, I'll have to discuss it with Cai Geling!" This is a must-have! ”
"Yes!" After Ah Xiu Zai made his promise, he opened his mouth three times in a row, but did not make any sound.
Seeing that he was embarrassed, he seemed to have something to say to Xu Zun, but he didn't dare to say it.
"I know what you want to say," however, Xu Zun picked up the curtain and looked out the window, and said, "Do a good job of heating tonight, I look at it but it's going to rain!" ”
"Hmm...... The adult ......" Ah Xiu Zai hugged his fist at Xu Zun, as if he had finally mustered up his courage.
Xu Zun waved his hand at him and said, "You don't need to say it, I understand what you mean, don't worry, I will give you a satisfactory answer!" ”
"This ......" Ah Xiu Zai was surprised, he obviously didn't say anything, but Xu Zun seemed to be able to see through himself.
"Tsk......" Zhao Yu seemed to understand what these two people meant, and immediately smacked his lips and frowned, as if he felt that this matter was a little difficult to handle......
……
Sure enough, as Xu Zun expected, in the middle of the night, a light snow fell from the sky first, and the light snow quickly turned into ice rain.
The roof of the mountain temple was incomplete, there were water leaks everywhere, the temperature in the temple plummeted, everyone quickly hid in a dry place to avoid the rain, and the women entered the carriage to rest.
When it was ugly, two figures, one tall and one short, left the mountain temple in the ice and rain and ran into the woods behind.
"My lord, my lord......" The slightly shorter one was a woman, it was Timur Ani, and she asked the other party with a puzzled expression, "What are you going to do here?" Aren't you afraid of getting sick? ”
The taller one was Xu Zun, but after seeing Xu Zun holding Ani's hand tightly and taking it to the depths of the woods, he said solemnly:
"Ani, let's go! I really can't help it! ”
"What?" Ani didn't know what to do, but when she heard Xu Zun let her go, she was even more dazed, "What did you say?" Let me go? Why? ”
"I'm sorry, I broke my promise!" Xu Zun said, "Now the situation has changed, we just got important news from Ye Hanchen, Xuanmen is going to plan a major event in the Holy Capital!" ”
"Huh?" Ani was surprised, "Xuanmen...... Holy capital? But...... Why...... Want me to go? Does it matter? ”
"What do you say?" Xu Zun explained, "If Xuanmen is just an ordinary rebel party and just a small fight, then I can naturally protect you!"
"But now they're pointing their swords at the royal court! has already threatened the safety of the Holy Lord and the Queen Mother, and the internal guards have long known that you are from the Xuanmen, you said that when I take you back to the Holy Capital, what will you do? ”
"This ......" Ani shook her head helplessly and said, "So...... You're going to drive me away? ”
"Why don't you understand, I let you go for your own good!" Xu Zun's eyes widened and explained, "If the Queen Mother sends a decree to send you to the Heavenly Prison, I have no way to protect you."
"Let's go! If you don't leave, it's too late, haven't you noticed that Ah Xiu Zai's people are looking at you wrong? ”
"Lord Xu," Animu looked at Xu Zun, "Don't all those words you said to me count?" Are you really going to let me go? ”
The cold rain washed over Ani's beautiful face, and the girl's eyes were full of disappointment.
"Yes, that's all I can do!" Xu Zun couldn't bear to look at her, turned around and said emotionally, "Live well, if you have a fate in this life, let's see you again!" I hope you remember me, the guy who always wants you to warm the bed......"
"You ......"
Ani was numb and trembling, with tears in the corners of her eyes, but the tears were confused by the ice and rain, and she couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears.
"Good!" Ani nodded tremblingly and turned around slowly, "I'll go...... I'm going ......"
With that, Ani strode towards the dark woods.
"Wait a minute!" Xu Zun suddenly stopped her, turned around and shouted.
Ani immediately turned her head back, her eyes revealing an imperceptible hope.
"Ani," Xu Zun stood up straight and said solemnly, "you...... You'll have to stab me before you leave, or I'll not be able to explain to the guards." ”
"You ......" Ani walked back angrily, raised her sword in front of Xu Zun and said, "What do you say?" I'll stab you with a sword? You have a female ghost to protect you, are you sure that my sword can stab you!? ”
"This ...... All right! ”
Xu Zun simply grabbed Ani's hand, pulled out her sword, and stabbed himself in the shoulder without hesitation!
"Hey, you're crazy!?" Ani was shocked, and hurriedly lifted Xu Zun's wrist and knocked the sword down.
When the long ......
As the sword landed, Ani trembled as if she had been electrocuted.
Then, Ani actually plunged into Xu Zun's arms and said resolutely:
"Lord Xu, I decided not to go," she buried her head on Xu Zun's shoulder, "It is said that Hongyan has the thinnest life, I want to challenge it!"
"If it doesn't work out, then I'll accept my fate!"
As a result, hearing this, Xu Zun was also deeply moved, and quickly hugged the beauty tightly and said:
"But...... I don't have a foolproof solution! You know me, I don't want to do something I'm not sure of! ”
"Lord Xu," Ani said without hesitation, "if I take the matter of Shangyuan City ...... Say it? ”
……
Ice wipers slap at the trees.
In the gloomy shadows of the trees, Ah Xiu Zai, Hou Zhen and the others glanced at each other, and then put away the swords in their hands.
Seeing Xu Zun returning to the mountain temple with the beauty of Yuanzhou in his arms, they were all relieved.
Because once Ani is really gone, they have to go as bad guys to stop Ani, and then there will be a fight.
"That's amazing! It's amazing! Ah Xiu Tsai took the lead in giving a thumbs up in the direction where Xu Zun disappeared, "Lord Xu is really a god, and he takes the little beauty to death!" ”
"Wrong," Hou Zhen waved his hand and said, "Lord Xu is not pinching that woman, but exchanging true feelings for sincerity, which is indeed worthy of our admiration!" ”
"Alright, don't talk in vain!" Another guard reminded, "Go back quickly, or you'll be exposed......
Yeah......
Only then did a few people remember what was going on, and hurriedly flew back to the mountain temple as if flying......
