Liangshan is located in the mountains and stretches for thousands of miles, and it is a line of defense for Rongguo. As we go to the northwest, the land becomes more and more barren, and the population gradually becomes scarce, and sometimes, you don't see a single person for three days, but if you walk for another month, you can see the border of the country.

Su Yan knew very little about Linguo, and only heard some from his master, most of the old things in the founding of the first emperor were all about the old things of Chen sesame and rotten grain.

From Liangshan to Houshan Broken Temple, I didn't stop all the way, and I walked for half a day. Rong Jin was tied behind his back, and he staggered and struggled to walk, so he listened to their conversation to divert his attention. When he heard about the old affairs of Linguo, he couldn't help but interrupt them: "The two of you are investigating the case, how can you be interested in the affairs of Linguo?" ”

"It's boring all the way, it's just a matter of rambling." Xilou stopped, looked up at the scorching sun, and asked him impatiently, "How long will it take?" ”

"Just turn the hill ahead."

The ruined temple that Rong Jin said was surprisingly large, although it was dilapidated, the scale was no less than those temples in Kyoto where incense was flourishing. It stands at the foot of a high mountain, on a pedestal more than a foot high, and the pedestal is surrounded by stone bricks of different colors, even if it has been abandoned for many years, it still reflects dazzling brilliance in the sun. Su Yan and Xilou stood in front of the temple, looking at the dozens of floors in front of them, the entire eaves covered by climbing vines pouring down like splashing ink on the high steps, and the mottled Xuanmen under the eaves.

——'Qingshan Ancient Temple'

Su Yan couldn't help but sigh: "What an ancient temple that has been eroded by the years and still retains its majesty," she looked at Rong Jin dissatisfied, "But you say that he is a broken temple, and he is too eyeless to see!" ”

"This ancient temple was abandoned not long after it was built, and it was naturally a ruined temple......"

Open the Xuanmen, there are many gods inside, fierce gods and evil spirits, and the general temple is different, here is even more weird. The west building looked around, but found that there was a long corridor on both sides of the main hall, leading to somewhere, so he asked Rong Jin for the next route. At this point, Rong Jin also had no way back, so he had to lead the way honestly in front.

The promenade connects another side nave, which is empty and the doors and windows are closed. Rong Jin pointed to the west wall with his chin, indicating that there was a mechanism there. Before he could ask to untie the bracelet, the West Building had already kicked up the stone and was hitting the mechanism. Only a dull sound was heard, and the west wall began to vibrate, and as white smoke rolled out of the cracks in the ground, a light passed through the wall, gradually revealing a secret door in front of them.

Through this gate, there is another feasible road for three or four people, straight forward, and it is estimated that it leads to the belly of the mountain. Su Yan opened the fire fold and led the way in front, and Xilou immediately took her hand and protected her behind her.

"It's dangerous here, be careful."

Su Yan shrugged his shoulders, always feeling that he was making a big fuss.

The closer they got to the belly of the mountain, the brighter it became, and from time to time, they could see the scene in the belly of the mountain, and both of them were taken aback.

I didn't expect that the ancient temple was just a disguise, and there was a hole in it!

It is said to be a cave, but it is more like a village in the cave, with undulating houses, stone steps between them, and even shacks for drinking tea. If it weren't for the sound of striking iron from those houses, and the light of the fire coming out of the windows, I would have thought I had walked into a village.

There are no fireworks, only the walking dead forging weapons in the room......

"It took a year and thousands of manpower to dig this cave, which is 20 zhang wide and 4 zhang high. Here, is the financial source of Liangshan! Rong Jin said proudly, as if he was also involved in the project. He raised his chin and pointed to it and said, "There are dozens of caves above the cave, and each cave is connected by a wooden bridge, and it is impossible for you to make some noise here, and there are dead soldiers in the caves, and they can come down and wipe your neck in an instant!" ”

As soon as Su Yan walked in, he felt that something was wrong, and when he looked around, he didn't find a single guard. I unexpectedly saw a black crack in the ground, which was well hidden, and I thought it was a stream if I didn't look closely.

Su Yan whispered to Xilou: "It seems that the gold mine is fake, and the privately made weapons are real. ”

"The two of you are here, and you are shining!"

A loud voice came from above his head, and Su Yan was frightened. I saw a figure standing on the wooden bridge, he shook his arm, and then rushed out of various caves A large number of dead soldiers flew down the wooden bridge, instantly surrounding them, and the road behind him did not know when the stone gate fell.

"Oops, it's a trick!" Xilou said in annoyance.

The man flew down and landed firmly in front of them. He is only forty years old, dressed in a white robe, and has an elegant temperament, which is incompatible with here.

"I've been waiting for a long time." Yu Mu bowed slightly and said with a smile.

"When did you find out? Is it Ajiu? Xilou didn't bother to hide it anymore, so he simply asked.

"Ajiu is cowardly and unusable, so the county lieutenant has never let him get close to this place, and all he knows is the ancient temple outside." Speaking of Ajiu, Yu Mu's eyes were full of disgust.

Xilou looked at Rong Jin, who was cut off his hands by him, and already knew in his heart, "When did you deliver the news?" ”

Rong Jin smiled disdainfully: "When the two of you came out of the county government, you were already targeted, if you want to blame, blame yourself for being too anxious!" ”

"It seems that Ye Zhongyuan is far away!" Xilou sneered, he didn't expect that he was so cautious that he was still discovered.

In the face of well-trained dead soldiers, Xilou had no chance of winning, so he could only let go of Rong Jin and negotiate with them: "I think you have been delaying your move, are you asking for something?" ”

Seeing that Rong Jin was out of trouble, Yu Mu immediately ordered the dead man to tie up the two people in the West Building and throw them into the cell.

"What do you want, why don't you call your masters, and we will take what we need!"

No matter how the West Building shouted, Yu Mu was like deaf and left without looking back. Su Yan didn't say a word from beginning to end, but Xilou had been fighting, and at this time she calmed down, and couldn't help but ask her: "Usually you are so anxious when you encounter a big disaster of life and death, why are you staying out of the matter now?" Is it to see life and death clearly, or are you thinking about some escape plan? ”

The cell is located in the eastern corner of the cave, and the layout of the cave can be seen through the iron door. Su Yan pointed to one of the houses and said, "I noticed that room just now, and when we were arrested, the people inside kept watching us. ”

"All the laborers here should be the people who were arrested, maybe they were scared, they didn't dare to resist, day after day, year after year, they all became walking dead."

"Gotta find a way to lure him over!"

"What's the solution?"

Su Yan rubbed one foot back and forth on the straw-covered ground, stepped on a small pebble, and kicked it to the foot of the West Building. Xilou glanced down, immediately understood, immediately picked it up, aimed at the room, and threw it while the satellite TV line was transferred, and hit it impartially. The man was frightened, and in a panic he looked towards the cell, and he should have received the message, and fearing that he would be discovered, so he hurriedly crouched down and left the window.

Su Yan stomped his feet in disappointment, and could only think of another way.

There is no day or night in the cave, and the walking dead are endlessly smelting, beating, and repeating. During this time, the fire was full of fire, the sound was deafening, and the temperature in the cave remained high as a result. Su Yan was hot and tired, and after about a long time, he was a little drowsy leaning on the shoulder of the West Building. In his sleep, he seemed to hear someone talking in his ear, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was the person who was thrown stones from the West Building.

"It's you!" Su Yan's sleepiness disappeared in an instant.

"My name is Dog," he was no more than twenty years old, and he was covered in dirt, but it did not stop those piercing eyes. The dog said with some concern: "I just overheard that they are coming to look for the county lieutenant, you have to be careful, but ...... It's useless to be careful, because ......"

"Because of what?" Su Yan asked him anxiously.

The dog looked at them as if he were looking at a dying man, his eyes full of pity and helplessness, "because all the people who came in were dead, including the benefactor who saved me, and he was also dead, and he could have escaped......"

His words were like a heavy punch to Su Yan's heart, her internal organs seemed to be broken, rubbed together, and she sat on the ground in pain. Xilou didn't think that he had reached a dead end, and even heard a glimmer of hope in his words, and asked him: "What do you mean when you say that your benefactor could have escaped?" ”

The dog turned around and pointed to the ground crack behind him: "There, there is a very wide abyss, but there is a dark river under the abyss, and the benefactor jumped from there, and he almost escaped, but he hit his head on the stones in the river, and when he woke up, he was rescued by the guards." But he was killed! ”

"In other words, the Dark River may be able to lead to the outside world!" Su Yan stood up excitedly, but then deflated again, because he couldn't drink water...... The West Building, on the other hand, already has a plan.

"What's the plan?" Su Yan asked.

"Ye Zhongyuan has obviously discovered us, but he didn't kill us, but instead led us here to be captured alive, there must be a purpose, then let's listen to what he wants."

"And then? He wants our lives, and you give them too? ”

Xilou said: "It's rare that you still have the heart to ridicule me, naturally you can't give your life, but we can take this opportunity to deal with him, and then take the opportunity to cause chaos, and then ......" Xilou motioned to the people outside the cell to come closer, and said to him: "Then you go and arrange for all the people who have been arrested, and persuade one if you can, let them cooperate with us, and make this place as chaotic as possible, although there are many dead, but they can't stand the resistance of so many of us, and then you will take the opportunity to jump from the abyss......"

Before Xilou's words were finished, the dog jumped up and shook his head again and again: "There are stones under the dark river, and if you are not careful, you may be killed!" ”

"Then you can also exit from the corridor, but it's hard to make sure that the exit is not guarded, and that road is easy to catch up, you can weigh it yourself." The analysis of the West Building was very comprehensive, and the dog thought for a moment and decided to take a risk.

The stone gate at the corridor slowly rose, and the dog hurriedly retreated to his house.

Ye Zhongyuan and Yang Quan came straight to the cell, and when they saw Su Yan and Xilou looking embarrassed, they couldn't help laughing: "The two adults are so Yaxing, they came all the way to watch, I don't know what you can see?" ”

Su Yan was angry when he saw him, but people are at a disadvantage, and they always have to know the truth of being able to bend and stretch. He still pretended to be polite, and said to him: "Lieutenant Ye is a good Yaxing, he has nothing to do when he is full, he has dug such a big hole here, even if he dies, he doesn't have to waste it, he can use it as a tomb!" ”

She still couldn't hold back the yin and yang weirdness.

Ye Zhongyuan disagreed, and still smiled: "At first, I thought it was sent by the prince, but after following you all the way, I became more and more strange, since it was assigned by the prince, why didn't he show the token when he arrested Ah Jiu and Rong Jin, with the prince pressing the formation, wouldn't it be more convenient to investigate the case?" I guess you're the two that Master Mo said, right, Mr. Su? The scorching gaze turned to the side of the West Building, and the smile became more and more intense, "And you, the prince of Yan Guo." ”

Su Yan and Xilou looked at each other, and it took a while to accept this change. The West Building was not surprised, and asked coldly: "What do you mean, Mo Fei knew that we would come to Liangshan from the beginning?" ”

"I thought he would make a mistake, but I didn't expect it to be all in his calculations, Lord Mo is really like a god!" Ye Zhongyuan's eyes were full of admiration, like a devout believer.

"Is that ...... Zuo Qing is in trouble? Su Yan muttered to himself.

"Zuo Qing betrayed, Lord Mo is already dead, and now he has to pay some to smooth the wounds in Lord Mo's heart, and your life can be safe and sound." As he spoke, Ye Zhongyuan ordered someone to open the prison door, pressed Su Yan's neck, and cut off a section of his hair.

"What do you want to do!" Su Yan shouted.

Ye Zhong waved the thing in his hand proudly and said to her: "Zuo Qing has something there, presumably he is very willing to exchange a dead thing for your two lives." ”

Xilou was shocked when he heard this, and shouted, "What is Murphy wanting?" ”

"You are so familiar with Zuo Qing, you won't know that he is an orphan of the Xuan clan, right?"

"Xuan ......"

The four words of the orphan of the Xuan clan hit him like thunder, making his whole person tremble, and a fear rose from the bottom of his heart, that was the past that he and Zuo Qing did not want to face, a truth that was enough for them to never recover!

"Murphy...... How would Murphy know? Xilou rushed up and wanted to catch Ye Zhongyuan, but he avoided it sideways and hid outside the prison door.

"You have dealt with the three provinces and six departments one after another, Lord Mo is not unaware, and blindly believes in Zuo Qing, also out of a few years of father-son love. But people have a bottom line after all, son, you hurt yourself! Now that Lord Mo is in Zhao Kingdom, just wait for the weapon spectrum to arrive, and everything will fall into place! ”

It turned out that Mo Fei had long known that Zhao Guo did not have a weapon spectrum, so he would plan it and trick them into coming to Liangshan, and he wanted the Jedi to fight back, and the weapon spectrum ...... Zhao Guo......

He wants to rebel!

Su Yan asked confusedly, "What weapon spectrum?" Why did Zuo Qing become the orphan of the Xuan clan again? ”

"Mr. Su, it's really sad that you and Xilou are a couple in vain, and you don't know their secrets!"

"Get out!" West Lou shouted the word almost with all his strength. Ye Zhongyuan snorted coldly, brushed his sleeves and left.

Su Yan questioned him: "You tell me clearly, who is Zuo Qing?" ”

Xilou had never seen Su Yan like this, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

"Now that it's all over, why hide it from me anymore." Su Yan said disappointedly.

"Zuo Qing is the orphan of the Xuan clan of Zhao State, Xuan Qi...... At that time, Zuo Qing's father was still the marshal of Zhao State, and he was called to go on the expedition, but he was framed by traitors, causing the whole clan to be wronged and beheaded! Only Zuo Qing was rescued. A stream of tears burst out of his eyes, Xilou recalled what happened to Zuo Qing, as well as his own experience, and couldn't wait to grit his teeth, "He has been burdened with more than 130 souls of the family for ten years, and the initiator of all this is Murphy, this blood debt, Murphy must repay!" ”

"Therefore, he recognized Mo Fei as his father-in-law and went to the Seven Senses Academy to take revenge, and you targeted the three provinces and six departments, not to eliminate harm for the people, but also to take revenge, so ...... Then Zuo Qing took me to Ruoshui, is it also part of your plan? Why look for me? Su Yan suddenly realized an extremely important key point, yes, why did you find her? Is it a coincidence? Still is......

Su Yan asked word by word: "What do you know?" ”

The West Building did not explain, the truth, has been written on his face!

At this time, thinking back to what happened to Kuaifeng Town, she suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. It turned out that they had calculated it at the beginning, and even the palace was counted!

In less than a moment, Su Yan's face went from disappointment to fear to pain, making her exhausted. She said weakly: "Zuo Qing made all these plans for revenge, what is your purpose?" You don't want to lie to me that you are supporting justice and eliminating harm for the people, right? In my opinion, you just want to get rid of the identity of the proton and let Zuo Qing help you sit in the position of the prince of Yan Kingdom! ”

"Ah Yan, I don't have ......"

"Why is that?"

Xilou hung his head helplessly, he still didn't have the courage to say his identity, until the last moment, he had no confidence, he was afraid that he would never recover!

Su Yan laughed, but her heart tingled, she obviously wanted to cry, but why did all this make her feel ridiculous?

"Ah Yan, are you ...... Don't want me anymore? ”

"Ah Yan, I won't fail you, I will give you everything I can give!"

……

She was deaf to the noise outside, and she seemed to hear her own heartbeat, thump-thump—never so weak as it was today.

"I can forgive Zuo Qing for hiding from me, and I can also forgive your selfish desires, but I will never forgive you for treating me as a pawn! For the past year, I've been at your mercy like a fool, what have you been to me? Su Yan laughed self-deprecatingly, she always thought that Zuo Qing was at least sincere, but it was all fake!

"Xilou, no matter what happens in the future, today we have to live first and go out, so that we can sort everything out and explain it clearly, isn't it?"

Xilou nodded stiffly. But he knew he was about to lose her.
