In the early morning, the north gate of Hojing had just opened, and a yellow huss hurried up to Beihan and galloped up a mountain. Here is just north of Pingchuan in Guanzhong, south of the Hexi Plateau, although there is no steep peak, but the forest is reckless, straight to the big river in the clouds. It was late spring, the ravines were pale and bleak, and the yellow horses trudged the unconventional caravan and hunter trails.

After two days, I came to the bottom of a dirt mountain. Ji Duoyou straightened his clothes, resolutely dismounted, untied the reins of the yellow horse, and let it go to graze by itself. It's not his hypocrisy, it's really Qiaoshan is not another place, but the tomb of the Yellow Emperor, the god of China. Riding a horse here is against human morality.

Strange to say, Qiaoshan was originally just an ordinary dirt mountain, and like the surrounding mountains, there were only miscellaneous trees and weeds, and it was even more withered and yellow in autumn. But since the mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor, this bridge mountain has grown thousands of evergreen pines and cypresses in all seasons, covering the mountains with a radius of more than ten miles. Coupled with the frustration of the water and the surrounding mountains, Qiaoshan has become a sacred mountain with verdant all seasons. Fun Cabinet

For nearly 1,000 years, Qiaoshan has been tightly covered by pine and cypress. But there is a mountain wind blowing, the pine waves all over the mountain are like an angry tide drumming, the sound is heard hundreds of miles away, and the rich rosin fragrance spreads to the entire Hexi Plateau with the mighty long wind.

Since King Wen's grandfather, Gu Gong's father, led the Zhou tribe into Guanzhong, the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor in Qiaoshan has become a holy place for the Zhou people to worship. In Chinese legend, the Yellow Emperor was born in Xuanyuan Valley. What is Regulus? The Turtle is also the god of Xuanwu, the god of the West, and the root of the four spirits. The Zhou people survived and grew in the place where the Yellow Emperor was rooted, and they did everything to admire and worship this direct ancestor. In addition to the footprints and incense of the sacrificers, the Zhou Dynasty strictly forbade farmers to live within ten miles of Qiaoshan.

With such a sacred mountain and holy mausoleum, is there really anyone living in seclusion here? Ji Duoyou was worried in his heart, but thinking that Eyao had reached such a point, he should not deliberately tease him, so he continued to walk towards the mountain.

Suddenly I heard the rumbling sound of the water, and when I looked up, I saw a curtain of waterfalls hanging down the river valley from the high mountains opposite, a wisp of cooking smoke curling up in the pale yellow grass and trees, and a thatched hut under it was faintly visible. Ji Duoyou said: "There are mountains full of pines and cypresses in front, there are waterfalls in the Tianhe River in the back, the surging clear stream under the feet, and the bamboo forests are cultivated left and right, but it is a good place to live in seclusion!" It's just that the three Lynx Masters will really be hiding here? Do you really have the courage to hide here after doing such an earth-shattering thing? ”

Suspicious, he still took off his leather boots and socks, rolled up the hem of his robe, and strode into the river. Fortunately, the river was dry in the twilight spring, and the water was shallow, and in a few moments he had waded to the opposite bank. The smoke of the thatched cottage of the waterfall is gone, only the sound of the water is like a faint thunder, but the bamboo forest in front of it is swaying all over the mountain, echoing with the thousands of pines and cypresses on the opposite bank of the bridge mountain.

Ji Duoyou strode towards the hillside, picking grass all the way to find the way. After a while, I saw a flat land in front of me, the smoke of the thatched hut was hidden in the depths of the bamboo forest, and the big waterfall that flew beads splashed jade hung on the mountainside on the north side of the thatched hut. A path in the thatched grass leads straight into the bamboo forest, and the blackened bamboo fence in front of the thatched hut and the quiet small courtyard can be faintly seen.

"Sima Ji Duoyou of the Great Zhou Wangcheng, visit the owner of the house." Ji Duoyou bowed deeply.

Except for the sound of waterfall water and the sound of pine waves, there was no response. Tayu tentatively entered the courtyard, and at first glance he caught a glimpse of a glaring object hanging under the hat on the outer wall of the hut - wasn't that the mask worn by the Ghostface of the Night of the Shehuo? He recognized it when it was burned to ashes. In such a secluded deep courtyard, with bamboo leaves, there is such a creepy thing, how can it not be frightening?

"The foot is finally here, and I have been waiting for you for a long time." On the cliff next to the waterfall, a person suddenly appeared, with knotted hair, lean black and thin like a mountain hunter, but many friends had sharp eyes, and at a glance saw that this person was wearing a copper ring in his left ear, and he must be a lynx.

Duoyou secretly pressed one hand to the Tianyue Sword at his waist, and asked calmly, "You are the ghost-faced man who fought with me?" ”

"Hahaha------" The man laughed loudly: "My family's right minister is busy with government affairs, how can I have time to waste here?" I am a fierce eagle shooter, and I am here to wait for the news of King Zhou on the order of the right minister. ”

Right phase? That ghost-faced man is actually a lynx? Such a noble man is dispatched, and the plotter is great. Duoyou decided to go straight in: "You set up rat Gu in my Great Zhou Palace to spread the epidemic, why did you come?" ”

"Happy!" The eagle shooter praised: "The steppe people are quick to talk and don't go around in circles." There is one side of my royal court, although it is not fully effective, but it can save half of the people's lives. If you King Zhou want this, let it back to our Prince Tuge! After speaking, as soon as he raised his hand, a slender black shadow flew towards the door of Tayou. Duoyou raised his hand to take it, but it was a bamboo stick, with eight words written on it: "If you get the epidemic prescription, release it to Tuge." ”

Ji Duoyou was looking at the bamboo stick, and when he looked up, he suddenly disappeared from the shadow of the condor shooter. I saw a bunch of pine branch torches thrown high on the roof of the hut in the forest, and a ball of fireworks suddenly rose in the recess of the mountain, accompanied by the smell of rosin, and I heard a burst of laughter, and the courtyard of the hut was engulfed in fire in an instant. Strangely, the fireworks did not spread to the surrounding hillsides, but burned to the bamboo forest and pine and cypress fires.

Duoyou frowned and stared at the fireworks that were gradually flying away, rubbing the bamboo stick in his hand, as if thoughtful------

The Condor Archer did not go far, he hid in the pine trees and groped his way up to a cave near the top of the mountain. A dark-skinned, stubbered man in a loose robe was sitting cross-legged on a large rock in front of the cave, with a masked man standing beside him.

The eagle archer stepped forward and bowed deeply: "Sir, the matter has been completed, and it is time for so-and-so to return to the grassland." ”

The meditating man did not open his eyes: "Who is it that is coming?" ”

"The person who came claimed to be Wangcheng Sima Ji Duoyou."

"Oh? It's him? The man opened his eyes, and two sharp eyes fell on the condor archer: "I just saw the fire at the waterfall, and my hut was burned down by you, how can you say this?" ”

"Please forgive me, sir." The eagle archer knelt down and thanked: "Mr. Meng helped, but Ji Duoyou is here, and the hut has been exposed." The reason why so-and-so burned down this house was also for the sake of Mr------"

The man waved his hand: "What is the mere hut?" It's just that at that time, you promised that you would take what you wanted after the deed was completed, and you should do everything. Does this still count? ”

"I am thousands of miles away from Jianghan, if there is no Yishe to pull the line, how can I catch it? Sir, please tell me, even if you can't do it, the right minister can call the shots. ”

"I want that." The man said categorically.

"Huh? This ------" The Condor Archer's face was sad: "This side is in the hands of the royal court, and usually we and other herdsmen and knights are sick, and report to the royal court, and they will send a witch doctor to the account with medicine, and the residue must be brought back after decoction." But I don't know pharmacology, where can I recognize those bark grass root insect shells? When a certain person goes back, he will give Mr. a satisfactory answer, how about it? ”

The man didn't see any joy or anger on his face, and he suddenly waved his sleeves: "That's it, you go!" ”

Seeing the figure of the Lynx Condor Archer disappear into the depths of the pine forest, the young man standing on the side had a look of disgrief, and arched his hand: "Master, you just let him go?" It's so annoying to go back on your word! If there is no connection between my Nanlin Society, how can they get into this relationship with Hubei? Now that it's done, I turn my face and don't recognize people, it's so infuriating! ”

After many years of ups and downs, Rong Yi has long been pampered and not shocked, and he is still calm as usual, but he comforted his disciples: "Chongli, you need to remember that those who are compatible with the benefit will eventually be dispersed by the benefit." The mentors never believed in their promise of 'giving and taking'. ”

Chongli was very surprised when he heard this: "What? Then why did Master agree to help them? ”

"Naturally, it's for the purpose of different paths. This move can weaken the Zhou royal family, so why not? As for that recipe," Rong Yi snorted coldly: "Ask for others with your palm upward, it's better to try it yourself." Hmph, there is nothing in this world that I can't do with Rongyi. Chongli,"

"The disciple is here." Chong Li replied loudly.

"Ye Zi has also been in the Rampant Royal Court for two months, right?"

Chongli raised his eyes and glanced at his master, bowed his head and replied, "Yes, it's almost there." ”

"You immediately set off to meet her, and the days should be almost over for the teacher."

"No!"

Chongli turned around and was about to leave, but Rong Yi suddenly stopped him again: "Wait------"

"What else does Master command?"

Rong Yi raised his head, as if he wanted to say something, but finally stopped. Just waved his hand: "You go, be careful on the road!" ”

"No!"

The rolling clouds swept southward, and the vast earth seemed to tremble under the weight of the layers of clouds, and let out a faint and dull moan------

"It's going to rain!" Rong Yi slowly paced to the edge of the cliff, letting his emanation be blown by the wet mountain wind like a black whip. After a long time, he muttered to himself: "Son of Fanji, son of destiny, let's see how you deal with this storm!" ”

"If you get the epidemic, let it go to Tuge."

When these eight words were placed on the huge royal case of the Taimiao Courtyard, whether it was Zhao Bohu or Zhou Li, Wang Jihu was shocked in his heart. If there was only a suspicion that Eyao helped the rat Gu before, then now this suspicion has been ironclad - the Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou actually colluded with foreigners, led the epidemic into the palace, and even risked her own life to set up a frame, why did she do this?

The purpose of the Lynx is very clear, they are to rescue Prince Tuge, the only adult son of the Lynx King Ao Xing. It is not surprising that Ao Xing poured the power of the country to rescue him, and it is also human nature. But what is the picture of Eyao? People die like lights out, what is it, who is worthy of her life? The two monarchs and ministers thought about it for a long time, but they couldn't understand it.

"Release to Turg------ Prince Turg------ Prince!" Ji Hu muttered to himself, and suddenly a thought flashed through his mind like lightning: Prince? The second prince Ji Shangfu? He's a prince too!
