The noon sun sprinkled on the water, gilded with a layer of pale gold, everyone walked the mountain road for a long time, they all felt a little dry mouth, and saw that the pool of water was clear, and some people couldn't help but take water and drink.

"The water is really cold." One said.

"It's strange, just now all the way over, I can still hear the birds chirping, and when I got to the edge of the pool, there was no sound." Someone is alert.

In the general jungle, where there is a water source, more birds and beasts will gather, everyone was trained, but also lived in the dense forest for a short time, and even witnessed the scene of the roe deer being hunted by tigers and leopards for a long time because of drinking water.

The team leader thought of the tiger that turned back halfway, and his heart was cold, but he didn't have time to warn everyone to avoid the pool, only to see that the person who was still sighing about the cold water in the pool just now fell down, and he didn't even let out a scream, and then he disappeared.

And the pool is still as calm as ever.

Not good!

"Let's go, get out of here!" The team leader shouted, where can he still care about searching, turned around and ran.

However, there were screams behind him, followed by screams.

The team leader subconsciously turned to look, and he will regret this turn until decades to come.

The scene in front of him was unbelievable, because he saw a huge snake suddenly burst out under the pool, the whole body was dark, it was more than four feet long, and the huge torso was enough for the two of them to hug each other, open their bloody mouths, and seemed to roar angrily in the sky, of course, silently, only the fangs of Sensen had already made everyone's whole body weak.

With the huge mouth facing down, an eight-foot strong man was swallowed alive by the giant snake.

Monster! There are monsters in the pool!

The team leader was so frightened that he didn't forget to flee quickly, even though he trembled.

However, he found that he didn't know if it was because of the giant snake's "beckoning", among the jungles and weeds by the water, there were seven or eight black pythons jumping out, although not as thick as the giant snake in the pool, but it was also two feet long, with blood-red snake eyes, and Sen Sen stared at their group of prey.

A killer who reacted a little slower was already entangled by the long python on land, and he was about to die in the belly of the snake again.

In the end, he was well-trained, and the other killer saw that his companion was in danger, and shot a crossbow arrow at the snake eye.

The black python was wounded and looked up like a roar.

The giant snake in the pool that swallowed the two people was called out again, and actually swam ashore and stood upright, and the snake's tail struck, and the crossbowman flew out and fell straight into the pool, and the leader was horrified to find that there was a giant snake in the pool, and devoured the prey unceremoniously.

Although the crossbowman shot the giant snake again, the arrow did not hurt the giant snake in the slightest, and the leader could even hear the "bang" sound of the arrow hitting.

The torso of the giant snake in the pool seems to have scale armor that can resist flying arrows.

All resistance is in vain, and the only way out is to run.

Of the three of them, only three escaped!

After Guo Ju'an relayed these words, the scene was silent.

After half a sound, Mao Weicai said: "That's it, even many dead soldiers died in Shekou, Zhen Shoulu fell directly into the pool, even if he was not killed, there were no bones." ”

Guo Ju'an took a deep breath: "Although the leader of the team encountered this accident and almost lost his soul, but when he arrived in Luoyang City, he was not in a hurry to return to Taiyuan Mansion...... Zhen Shoulu did not return that day, Hu Cong did not care, the next day someone went to Bishan to look for it, but returned in vain, only then reported to the governor's office, and the official went to Bishan to search, and it was naturally difficult to find Zhen Shoulu's whereabouts. ”

Mao Wei bowed: "There are so many fierce beasts in the cliff valley, and there are monsters in the pool, that is, someone broke in by mistake, and there is no return, where will the officials find that place?" However, for the sake of prudence, we should pay more attention to the Zhen family these days. He also instructed Mao Thou: "Tell the city gate guard, pay attention to precautions these days, if you ...... Zhen Shoulu returned to Jinyang and reported immediately. ”

Having said that, Mao Wei didn't think that Zhen Shoulu would be safe and sound.

And on this day, Bai Yu also returned to Jinyang City, and was depressed when he returned to his life: "The villain has a bad Shaoyin order, although he rushed to Luoyang day and night, but he didn't expect Zhen Qilang to go to Pishan alone when he arrived in Luoyang, and disappeared, Zhen Qilang's entourage reported to Luoyang the next day, although he sent out the officials to find people, he found nothing, but he was afraid ...... I'm afraid that I have been poisoned by Mao Wei. ”

However, to Bai Yu's surprise, the princess was so smiling that she didn't seem to care about Zhen Qilang's life or death at all.

Three days later, the princess of Jin officially issued an invitation post, giving Taiyuan Meng and other female relatives who participated in the good deeds, and invited them to gather and drink at the Jin Palace, in order to thank you for giving money to help the poor, among the invited guests, only one person has nothing to do with the good deeds, that is, Mrs. Mao.

She took the invitation to Mao Wei to discuss: "Concubine Liu explained that she was to thank Meng, Zhen and other clans for doing good deeds, but the concubine did not participate, she invited me to go, she must have instigated those female dependents, ridiculed us for being stingy, and had bad intentions, so I won't go." ”

Mao Wei disagreed: "Taiyuan Meng's family took the lead in doing good, and did not specifically ask you to contribute, we don't know anything, how can we talk about the word stingy?" If Concubine Liu ridicules in public, you will use this to refute it, if you avoid it, it will seem that we are weak-hearted, and those who have not done good deeds are not our family, if Concubine Liu takes the opportunity to reprimand, I feel that I am in the middle. ”

After speaking, he sneered: "Concubine Liu promised to compensate the military family in public, if in the end, she actually has to rely on the capital of Taiyuan nobles, wouldn't she give up people's wealth and become her own reputation?" As soon as her intentions are exposed, it will lead to shameful laughter, you go generously to invite, I have one more thing to explain to my wife, just that day, in front of many female relatives, I asked the princess, is it not to uphold the law and be selfless? Zhen Shoulu is sure that she has absconded, so when will she be able to return Tang Qian's justice? ”

It turned out that on this day, the entourage who followed Zhen Shoulu to Luoyang had returned like a mourner, probably to report Zhen Shoulu's disappearance, several uncles and uncles of the Zhen family rushed to Luoyang in a hurry, Mao Wei was of course more convinced that Zhen Shoulu had died in Huangquan, so the case was further uproaring, and many people were talking about Zhen Qilang's absconding, and they insisted that he was a thief.

The defendant should not be sued, and the case cannot be tried, but the Jin Dynasty has to bear the question of covering up, unless Tang Ji is allowed to return home, only in this way, it is to show that Zhen Shoulu is indeed guilty, although the princess of Jin intends to cover up, but there is no way to let Taiyuan Zhen not be slandered, and even have the suspicion of self-preservation and reputation and abandon the alliance, for those nobles who are still waiting, there will obviously be a certain warning effect.

Mao Wei was also thinking about how to make this matter violent, but it happened that Princess Jin personally sent the opportunity.

Mrs. Mao shouldered a heavy responsibility, but she no longer resisted the invitation, and when she inquired again, Chen Junjun of Taiyuan Liu would also go to the invitation, which was undoubtedly a helper, and she was even more confident.

Although Taiyuan Liu got the invitation from the Jin Palace, it was not a single person, only in view of the prestige of the Chen family, Mrs. Zhen naturally would not exclude her from the invitation, she asked casually, but she didn't expect that the Chen family, who had always advocated the Chu River and Han realm with the King of Jin, was willing to invite, Mrs. Zhen knew her secret plans, but she didn't care much.

Some people are bent on making themselves bored, and all she loses is her own face.

In a blink of an eye, it is the fifth day of the first month of March, and at this time, Jinyang City finally has a bit of spring breath, the wind is no longer so suffocating, and the courtyards also have peach and plum gradually blooming, growing new shoots of branches, with the swallow dancing warbler crying, Fenshui unconsciously flows briskly.

In the palace of the king of Jin, the plum blossoms that had been proud of the winter had not been completely defeated, so the princess simply set up the banquet in Meilin, because the peach color in the flower garden was still not brilliant enough at this time.

The hall that is bright on all sides has been replaced with a half-hanging blue yarn, no longer embroidered with flowers and birds, and there are old flowers outside the curtain to reflect each other.

Today's guests are all older than the princess, but the host does not feel restrained, and when talking and laughing, he touches on the topic.

Taiyuan Meng's clan wife Wang, born from the Jingzhao Wang lineage branch, because of the relationship between her mother's family, is not against the Jin Palace, but the good news is that the family is determined to support the new policy, so she and the Jin princess will be even more intimate.

And this kind deed, on the surface, it was Mrs. Wang who took the lead.

Eleven Niang thanked her, and even pulled Mrs. Mao: "Although I have made an invitation, but the lord of today's banquet can be counted as Mrs. Mao, all of you have done good deeds to benefit the poor, and the officials of Taiyuan Mansion should be grateful." ”

Mrs. Mao was originally ready to start a war of words with Princess Jin, but she never thought that people didn't plan to take the opportunity to laugh at her for not pulling out her hair, and her fighting spirit suddenly stiffened, and she couldn't help but laugh a little reluctantly.

Then a maid rushed in, holding a gift box in her hand, and presented a knee case.

"This is a small gift prepared by Mrs. Mao and I to thank you for your kindness, and please accept it with a smile."

As the "master", of course, Mrs. Mao does not have this benefit, but she is not blushing, but she has the intention to embarrass the princess, and said with a smile: "The princess is really polite, but the concubine is deeply ashamed, although the concubine is a long princess for many years, she is only short-sighted, she knows nothing about government affairs and people's feelings, and she is not afraid of your jokes. ”

This sounds like self-blame, but the implication is just to ridicule Princess Jin for not being able to do anything.
