"This ...... I'm a good girl! Ergou was a little dumbfounded.

In the blink of an eye, the entire deserted temple, including the surrounding earth and rocks, collapsed into ruins.

The leaves of the lush trees and grasses withered at a rapid rate visible to the naked eye, and the land seemed to have been exposed to the scorching sun for seven days and seven nights, exposing the dry sand.

Terrifying cracks spread across the land.

The two horses, one brown and one black, were still tied to the tree, restless, neighing and pacing, avoiding the cracks in the ground.

The second dog waved his hand and released the qi machine, cutting off their confinement.

Lao Xu jumped on the oily and slippery black horse as soon as he slipped away, and the horse ran out first, quite fast, if you talk about driving a horse, I am afraid that there are few people in the whole Great Qin who can compare to him.

The horse's hooves splashed yellow dust, and the shouts of Lao Xu could be heard in the distance.

"Dog smash, Brown is my big baby, entrusted to you, but you have to treat it well!"

The second dog also got on the brown horse with the saddle rope, and unceremoniously threw a whip on its buttocks.

"Drive!"

The brown horse threw up his neck and snorted in pain, and galloped in the direction of Lao Xu.

Along the way, all you see is desolate sand, and the few villages left behind are also a dilapidated scene, and the villagers drag their families and flee in the direction of the city, until they get out of the mountains, and only then do they see the verdant color again.

There are nearly 100 people gathered around the small tea stall at the foot of the mountain, all of whom came out of the mountain in a surprised way, and some people are leading sheep and cattle, and there is a mess everywhere.

"Evil, the mountain god is angry, and natural disasters have descended on the world."

A thin old man with a white beard sat on the side of the road patting his thighs, and wailed loudly in a hoarse voice:

"Choose a pair of boys and girls to sacrifice to the mountain god, so that it is possible to appease the anger of the mountain god."

Great Qin law strictly forbade human sacrifice, and although many remote villages repeatedly banned it, most people maintained a resistance to the matter.

At this time, although many people looked around with ghosts, those with children in the family scoffed at the old man's words.

The woman sitting opposite the old man snorted even more, showing the posture of a fierce woman, and then pulled a pair of children behind her, wary of the people with different looks around her.

Ergou looked at the group of people one by one, but didn't see the high-headed black horse, nor did he see Lao Xu.

Lao Xu ran so fast, he couldn't catch up with the horse.

The tall façade is faintly visible on the horizon, and beyond that is Luyang City.

Looking back at the mountains that collapsed from time to time because of the loose soil, Ergou had a headache and couldn't think of what he could do.

The task he received was a map and a note in his bag, which said that he should go to the Heavenly Prison to rob the prison, escort Yan Jing out of Shangjing, and the route of the robbery and escape were all planned.

Yes, there is no Huo Xiang, there is only one Wan Yanjing.

Huo Wang Ye was like an accident that accidentally entered.

Ergou took out two pennies and bought a cup of drink from the tea stall owner, drank it all in one gulp, and then sat down with the horse to rest.

Twisting the slightly coarse horse hair, Ergou's face gradually sank.

There are many things that I haven't thought about in detail, but when I calm down and think about it, I can sense that a lot of things are wrong.

Lao Xu seems to be a little weird.

In fact, Ergou and Mafu Lao Xu are not familiar with each other, and they haven't even spoken a few times before this operation.

He didn't pay attention to Lao Xu, because Lao Xu obviously had no martial arts, although he acted quickly when he fled for his life, but he was also in the category of ordinary people.

But some of the details recalled at this time make people feel more and more that Lao Xu is not simple.

After leaving Beijing, this road was chosen by Lao Xu, and he decided to go to his hometown Luyang, which was the result of Lao Xu's guidance, and the news that the legendary miracle doctor was in Luyang was also inadvertently told to him by Lao Xu.

Huo Xiang himself didn't like to ride in a carriage, and there was no groom in Xuanwang's Mansion at the beginning.

Later, the reason why the groom was needed was because Huo Xiang married the princess, and he needed a carriage to travel, and naturally he also needed someone to drive the horse.

Lao Xu, the groom, has always been inconspicuous in the Wuxuan Palace, and has been working in the stable in obscurity for six years, and he has no connection with the main family or Bai Ze.

Like a real mediocre groom.

But at this time, he jumped out unexpectedly.

Ergou originally thought that he was in the same group as himself, but now that he thinks about it, it is very wrong, he has a preconceived idea.

A few days ago, Ergou got a secret order from the old place and was about to set off to rob the prison, but the door was suddenly knocked.

When I opened the door, it was Lao Xu, the groom in the house.

Lao Xu was dressed up to go out, and walked in very familiarly:

"Lord Ergou, no, I'm the groom Lao Xu, hey, the carriage is ready, I'll pick you up at the exit outside the city, now let's hurry up."

Scenes appeared in front of Ergou's eyes, how Lao Xu was with him, how he casually mentioned the miracle doctor who was "waiting" in Luyang, and how he used his words.

Now that I think about it, the secret order note he received at the beginning did not mention Lao Xu.

Ergou, who has always been a little silly, instantly felt that he had fallen into the abyss, and he finally figured out something that was extremely scary.

The teammates who saved people with him didn't seem to be his teammates.

In today's situation, Lao Xu seems to have expected it.

It's over, it's all over!

Ergou is extremely annoyed, Lao Xu is probably a liar.

Master and Master Niang were pitted into a strange place by Lao Xu, and now they won't be gone.

It's all to blame on him, it's because he's too gullible!

——

"Tick, tick!"

Wan Yanjing was woken up by the sound of water droplets, and sat up with difficulty, as if her whole body was falling apart.

In the dark, someone was rummaging around for something.

Soon a night pearl the size of a pigeon's egg was turned over, illuminating a small area.

Huo Xiang was covered in blood and looked miserable.

His wet hair was pressed against his cheeks, he lay on the ground on his side and stared at the night pearl in his palm, his long eyelashes fluttering, his body trembling slightly, and his lips were bitten and white, very pitiful.

"Are you alright?"

As soon as Wan Yanjing spoke, she was startled by her hoarse voice, her forehead was hot, her body was cold, and she was obviously in a state of high fever.

"Hmm......" Huo Xiang snorted, gasped twice, and placed the Night Pearl in the middle of them.

After Yan Jing moved her arm, she picked up the Night Pearl and approached Huo Xiang's face to see him.

Huo Xiang seemed to have difficulty moving, and wanted to turn his head to prevent her from seeing but failed.

So Wan Yanjing saw Huo Xiang crying.

After being discovered, he cried even more fiercely, and two obvious traces of large tears rushed out on his blood-stained face.

"You...... What happened to you? ”

Wan Yanjing's drowsy mind was a little sluggish, and he looked around slowly, and they probably fell into a huge hole in the ground, and the corpse soldiers who fell with them twisted their limbs scattered all over the ground, and fell into a mess of dried corpses in their armor.

Looking at the dried corpse bones leaking out of those armors, Yan Jing realized something after she finished speaking.

She said that her heart was not good, and she held the night pearl to look at Huo Xiang's body.

Huo Xiang was better than those carrion corpses that had been smashed into pulp, but it was not much better.

His body was half thinner, and next to him lay two corpses, their iron armor stained with blood-soaked cloth and a large amount of fresh flesh and skin.

It is not difficult to imagine that Huo Xiang should have smashed into the corpse soldier first when he fell, and then climbed down from the corpse soldier.

Those flesh and blood are Huo Xiang's.

"I'm in so much pain, Ah Mi ......" Huo Xiang choked, his voice was very soft, and he could only hear a little sound when he was very close.

Wan Yan Jing's heart trembled, and her hands trembled and lifted a little of Huo Xiang's clothes.
