Chapter 62: Climbing the Dangerous Peak
King Wei sat alone in the Taihe Hall all night.
No one knew what he was thinking about that night.
Wang Donglin, who was guarding outside the Taihe Palace, trembled in his heart throughout the long night.
He knew King Wei until in his aging body, there was a keen heart that was no less shrewd and capable than in his prime.
So he was a little worried, worried about what kind of decision King Wei would make in the end.
Because once King Wei makes a decision, the execution is decisive and ruthless!
This night, many people did not sleep.
The disciples of the two academies were immersed in the fear of the evil clan, and the princes and ministers kept sending people around to inquire about the news, thinking about their future position.
Shen Fengyang and Wu He, after cleaning the mountain behind the palace and finally confirming that the masked man had disappeared, temporarily returned to the mansion.
Having personally participated in the incident, they knew that things might not be as simple as they seemed, but they all remained silent.
They all know that this time the matter still needs to be given a definite attitude by King Wei in the end.
What is at stake is the future of the country.
Ivy Chun Hou Mansion.
Shen Fengyang was in the study, looked at his daughter Shen Qing'er who was brought out of the palace, and asked, "Have you seen that evil clan person too?"
Shen Qing'er had a sad look on her face and shook her head, "I don't know if it's from the evil clan, it's just that I'm wearing a night coat and a masked, when I arrived, Prince Chun was already dead, and the disciples of Qinglan Academy arrived, and Wei Yang had already been abolished at that time, and the masked man kicked Wei Yang after seeing us, and left." ”
"And what's going on?what's going on with the Bloodthirsty Thorn?"
Shen Qing'er tightened her eyes and frowned at her eyebrows and recalled, "I remember that the masked man had two daggers in his hand, and the blood-devouring thorns had fallen to the ground when I fell. ”
Immediately, her voice paused, "It seems to have fallen next to Wei Yang, when Wei Yang was reaching out to cover his dantian part, and the blood-devouring thorn was at his feet." ”
Shen Qing'er said this and looked up at her father.
Shen Fengyang was silent, today's events happened in a hurry, when he was in the palace, he and Wu He only asked Shen Qing'er about the general situation, and did not delve into the details.
At this time, hearing his daughter's description, the look on his face couldn't help but be a little heavier.
The mysterious masked man had two daggers in his hands, and the bloodthirsty spike had fallen at Wei Yang's feet, and what that meant was self-evident.
Even if you are really a member of the evil clan, you can't have three hands!
Shen Fengyang rubbed his head, looked at his daughter and said, "This matter, if someone asks about it in the future, you will say that you didn't see it clearly, just say that you saw the masked man." ”
Shen Qing'er is not stupid, she can understand what her father meant, she nodded very obediently.
"Alright, you go and rest. ”
Shen Fengyang waved his hand and asked Shen Qing'er to retreat from his study.
After Shen Qing'er left her father's study, the sadness that had been suppressed on her face was even worse.
At this time, she had already heard that Ye Chong was attacked by the black blood pterodactyl and fell off the cliff.
She didn't expect that the hurried parting in the chaotic battle in the dense forest in the back mountains would be the last time for each other.
The subtle feelings in her heart seemed to take root at this moment, and she thought with some grievances that everyone was concerned about whether the evil clan was coming, they were all grieving the death of Wang Zichun, and they were planning for the future of their family. But no one still remembers the disciple of the Divine General Academy.
No one remembers Ye Chong.
Thinking of this, her beautiful and moving eyes were misty.
......
"The prince's infighting, how can it involve Ye Chong!" Deng Chong's voice said bitterly: "Now that Ye Chong has fallen down the mountain cliff, there are no bones, let us explain to Brother Chonglou in the future!"
Wu He's mansion is also discussing this matter.
Zhou Changfeng looked at Wu Daodao: "Could it really be an evil clan? Impossible, except for those two evil clan spirit weapons, we haven't even seen a ghost of the evil clan." Those black-blooded pterosaurs are also very strange, why haven't I heard that there are black-blooded pterosaurs in the mountain behind the palace before?"
Their expressions were very excited, and it was difficult to accept the news that Ye Chong had also fallen off the cliff and died.
Wu He looked at the two of them, signaled them not to quarrel, and said in a low voice: "This matter should have nothing to do with the evil clan, one or two evil clan spirit weapons, many people can get their hands on them." ”
"What does the general mean?"
"Wang Donglin!" Wu He immediately clenched his fists and said, "Have you forgotten that Wang Donglin is Wei Yang's master!"
Deng Chong and Zhou Changfeng glanced at each other, and then the former spoke: "You mean, it was Wang Donglin who wanted to kill Ye Chong, so he used that blue blood bead?
"Those black-blooded pterosaurs should have always existed, but black-blooded pterosaurs only lived in the land of yin tides, so they rarely showed up in the back mountains, Wang Donglin probably knew this, so he used blue blood beads to lure them out. Wu He's brows were locked, and he said: "Do you remember, the tombs of the previous Wei kings are buried near the black water pool under the back mountain, behind the black water pool, there is an extremely dangerous canyon, and no one has ever been able to enter it." It should be the place where Ye Chong fell, and it is indeed a place that conforms to the living habits of the black-blooded pterosaur. It is said that it was when the former king went to the grave there that he was frightened, so he died suddenly. ”
"From this point of view, it is very likely that Wang Donglin knew the truth of the matter and knew that there was a black-blooded pterodactyl there, so he set up the game. Deng Chong gritted his teeth for a while, "He must be because there are a few of us in the city, and he doesn't dare to attack Ye Chong openly, so he wants to find a chance in this hunting activity!"
"Then the blue blood bead is his, and the blood devouring thorn is also very likely to be his, and Wang Zichun may have been killed by Wei Yang, there is no evil clan at all!" Zhou Changfeng also thought deeply.
"It's just...... It is not clear what happened to the black-clothed masked man who was also seen by Shen Qing'er. Wu He's voice was deep and powerful, and his eyes were extremely deep, "If there is no evil clan in this matter, and there is no black-clothed masked man, then the result will be completely different." ”
......
Finally, after daybreak, news came from the palace.
King Wei walked out of the Taihe Hall and summoned all the princes and ministers into the palace.
"As for last night, I think many of you already know. ”
King Wei's old and hoarse voice came from the throne, "The people of the evil clan broke into the back mountain, killed Chun'er, abolished Yang'er, and several disciples who participated in the activities were either killed or injured......
"But now when the Holy Maiden of the Temple and her entourage came to defend the country, the perpetrators were nowhere to be found, and the grievances with the evil clan had to be put aside for the time being, and the state affairs were the priority. ”
King Wei announced his decision: "This hunting activity, which ended early, will be evaluated based on the harvest of the disciples of the two academies, and in the afternoon, in the square in front of the Taihe Palace, the holy woman and the holy envoy will issue rewards for them. As for Chun'er...... Buried in three days!"
As soon as King Wei's words fell, he got up and left the throne, accompanied by Wang Donglin, turned around and left, and disappeared into the eyes of the princes and ministers in the palace.
There was a lot of discussion in the hall.
Those princes and ministers knew that this was a decision made by King Wei after a night of deep thought.
Wei Chun's death is probably over.
Otherwise, would he, who is already old, still want to kill his son with his own hands and avenge his dead son?
These ministers in the palace are not stupid, and putting the blame on the evil clan is equivalent to letting this matter go away.
And Prince Yang, who was deposed in the sea of qi, will he still be as favored as before in the future?
Those princes and ministers knew that I was afraid that during this period of time, they would all have to make a choice between Wei Jing and Wei Yang.
......
Back mountains, canyons, cliffs and caves.
Ye Chong woke up from his slumber, curled up all night, his body was quite unwell, he stretched his waist, yawned and opened his eyes.
The next moment, he froze.
Ji Luoluo is gone!
"Xiaobai" is also gone!
Next Olympics!
Ye Chong immediately felt that it was over, Ji Luoluo was really ready to let herself climb up, otherwise, she would not leave secretly.
But how did she leave with "Xiaobai"?
Ye Chong ran to the entrance of the cave and looked, there were steep cliffs all around, how could he take a horse and leave quietly?
The most important thing is that he really didn't leave with him, this Ji Luoluo is too ruthless!
Saving yourself and leaving yourself behind, what is this about!
Ye Chong stood at the entrance of the cave and stomped his feet hatefully, looking at the abyss canyon under his feet, and couldn't help but feel a chill on his back.
When he was besieged by the black-blooded pterodactyl, there was no way to live, so he could naturally abandon life and death, and not be afraid of the cliff. But at this time, there was hope for life, and he definitely didn't dare to imagine the scene of falling off the cliff.
Somewhat depressed, he took out the two "Heavenly Claws" that emitted spiritual light from his pouch, paced around the cave, and finally gritted his teeth fiercely and rushed out.
Boom!
Ye Chong tied the "Ascending Claw" tightly to his arm, swung out his right arm, and forcefully buckled the "Ascending Claw" into the cliff, and his body moved out from the entrance of the cave and hung in the air. He endured the fear of the soles of his feet being weak, and lifted his entire body upwards with his right arm, and then his left arm, which was also tied to the "Ascending Claw", swung upwards again, buckled on the cliff wall about a foot above the previous claw, and then pulled out the "Ascending Claw" on his right arm, and raised his body again with the strength of his left arm, and swung his right arm again...... His body kept crawling on the steep cliff.
Above the cliffs.
Ji Luoluo was lying on the back of a horse and basking in the sun leisurely, and her pretty face looked radiant and beautiful in the sun.
"Xiaobai, did you think that guy would climb up?"
The corners of her mouth curled into a moving arc and said.
The white horse neighed twice, and its head shook up and down, as if nodding.
