I asked, "And then?"

Burning Clothes Mutan said: "When Burning Clothes saw that the interception was unsuccessful, I thought of the former first assistant Burning Clothes Tho. She ran to Ran Shang Tho's house and told Ran Shang Tho what happened. When Ran Xiang heard this, he angrily scolded Burning Clothes. Ran Sheng anxiously asked Ran Sheng Tho what to do. Ran Xiang said that the only way is to catch up with Junmu's car as soon as possible, stop the team, and explain the benefits and disadvantages to Junmu. After speaking, he immediately ordered someone to set the car. After setting up the car, Ran Xiang pulled Ran Xiang into the car together, and asked the driver to hurry up and chase after the driver.

When they drove all the way to the edge of the cliff behind the palace of the Queen Mother on the edge of the southern city, the team had already entered the secret passage, and the secret door had already been closed.

"Ran Xiang Tho is sick, and the short distance is already so bumpy that he can't stand up. She also had to continue to detour through the Tianjia Mountain passage to chase her.

Seeing this, Ran Sheng hurriedly stopped her, and said to her that the Tianjia Mountain passage could not drive, and she had to go down the mountain on foot, and after going down the mountain, she had to find another car to catch up with the team, and with her body, she couldn't go down the mountain at all, and even if she walked down the mountain, she was afraid that she couldn't hold on to catching up with the team.

Ran Xiang was in trouble and was in a hurry.

Ran Sheng said that she could chase the monarch alone. Ran Xiang told her that she was just a sergeant, and even if she caught up with the team, she would not be able to get close to the monarch's mother at all, not to mention that no one would listen to her.

Just when the two of them were at a loss, the coachman next to him spoke. The coachman told them that all the civil and military officials of Junshan had traveled with the monarch's mother, and in addition to Ran Xiang Tho, there was one of them in the capital who was respected by the monarch's mother and the ministers. Only she could speak in front of the monarch.

The two hurriedly asked who the driver was.

"The coachman said my name.

"Ran Xiang was overjoyed when he heard it, saying that I have commanded the soldiers and horses for decades, and I have made outstanding achievements, not to mention it in front of the ministers, the monarch and mother also have to give three points, and it is best to find me to intercept the driver.

"Ran Shang Tho asked Ran Sheng to find me quickly.

As soon as Ranshang heard this, he left Ranshang and ran all the way to my house.

"When I came to my house, I found that I had already gone down the mountain.

As soon as Ranshang asked where I was, he hurried down the mountain to find me.

"I happened to be met halfway down the road.

"After listening to Ran Xiangyi's account, I asked her what effect it would have on the monarch and the sacrificial procession, even if the time of travel was not auspicious, but fierce. Is it going to rain or the mountain road is not passable?

Ran Sheng showed a frightened dark color on her face, and told me that before she went out, she deliberately took a hexagram for the monarch's mother, and the hexagram showed a big murderer, and I was afraid that there was a risk of falling the phoenix.

I asked her what she meant by Luofeng Zhiyu, and she said that the monarch's mother might be worried about her life, so let me remember these four words, and not say it in front of the monarch's mother, for fear of shocking the holy driver. In the end, he also told me to persuade my mother to return to Luan no matter what.

After hearing this, I immediately jumped on horseback, said goodbye to Ran Yiyi and a few old friends, and rushed all the way to the direction of Zushan.

"It was ten o'clock in the morning, and I drove for two hours without stopping, whipping like rain, but fortunately the team did not go far, and at sunset, I finally caught up with the team.

"Then they were encamped. I inquired where the main account was. , immediately rushed over.

"Outside the big tent, I met General Qinxiao. When she saw that it was me, she thought it was strange and asked me why I had come. I said that there was an urgency to see the monarch. She didn't ask much, only told me that my mother and my son-in-law had gone out for a walk.

At this time, Ran Xiangtu came with people to inspect the camp, and I was taken aback to see it. She asked me how I was in the line. I told her I had something important to look for my mother. She said she could tell her anything first. As soon as I thought about it, she was the first assistant, so it would be good to explain the situation to her first, so I told her about the divination of the great murderer. When she heard it, it was like nothing, and she said that it was Xiangshi who was playing tricks, so I asked me to leave this matter alone and leave Huijun Mountain quickly.

"Where would I listen to her, I didn't leave him, I turned and left.

"She asked me where I was going, and I said I was going to find the Lady.

"She told me not to look for it. She also said that she was the chief person in charge of the sacrificial team, and asked me to go back as soon as I went back, so as not to make a fuss about nothing.

When I heard this, I immediately became angry and asked her why she had to choose another time when she had divined the auspicious time.

She also got angry, saying that I was an idle person and had no right to ask about the affairs of the court. She also ordered me to leave immediately, or she would have them tie me up.

"I said that if she is so stubborn and self-serving, she can't listen to people's words, and she will hurt the whole team and the monarch's mother.

But she angrily accused me of being a deceitful person. Men have bound me.

"I scolded and said, it doesn't matter if she ties me up, even if she wants to kill me, I am still a life, I didn't die at the hands of foreign enemies, I died in the hands of my own people, but the safety of the monarch is related to the rise and fall of the family, and it can't be brought by her, a powerful minister.

As soon as she heard the word Quanchen, her face turned white with anger, and she ordered the soldiers to escort me away.

"I said loudly, if you have a kind, kill me, I will give up this life to save the monarch's mother. And shouted loudly to everyone that the Xiangshi specially divined the hexagram for the monarch's mother, and the hexagram was a big murderer, and the monarch's mother was afraid that she would fall into the phoenix.

"But she said that I was cursing the monarch, and that my sin was unforgivable, and since I asked for death, then she would fulfill me.

After saying that, he ordered me to be taken to the rocky beach and immediately beheaded.

"General Qin Xiao saw that the situation was not good, and immediately begged Ran Xiangtu not to kill me, saying that I was a hero of the drought, and my prestige was covered in the whole territory, and I couldn't kill it.

"Seeing that it was his niece and granddaughter who interceded, he ordered someone to escort me back to Junshan as soon as possible.

"I had never experienced that kind of humiliation in my life, and the atmosphere was unbearable, and I began to scold. I didn't think much about it at the time, and some of the words came out casually. When she heard me call her a thief, she insisted on killing me.

Ran Xiangqin repeatedly dissuaded her, but she didn't listen.

"I was about to be executed, and suddenly someone dared to say that my mother had a will, so don't kill me first, and then make a decision when she returns.

"That's why people escorted me away first and walked away.

"Later, when you and your mother returned, I was taken into the big tent, and you know what happened next. ”

After listening to Burning Clothes Mutan's words, although I was very worried about the four words of Luofeng Zhiyu in my heart, I thought to myself, Xiangshi's divination may not be accurate.

I asked Ranshang Mutan: "The time of departure of the sacrifice is just to ask for good luck, so that the Xiangshi divination, and the hexagram may not be accurate." Besides, sacrificing to the gods is a great thing, how can she make a big murder. ”

Burning clothes Mu Tan said: "It seems that the son-in-law doesn't believe in the hexagram of Burning Clothes." ”

I didn't make a sound.

Burning Clothes Mu Tan shook his head, sighed and continued: "I don't know about the other Xiangshi, but I know a lot about this Burning Clothes.

"When Huandou invaded, you went down the mountain to ask for help, and I waited for many days to wait for you to come back. I was so worried that I wanted to send troops, but I couldn't determine the whereabouts of the Huandou people.

"At that time, one of the soldiers recommended to me the young Xiangshi Ran Xiangyi. I asked her to help me divinate a hexagram and see which direction the Huandou people went in. After she finished divining the hexagram, she told me a direction.

"I want to send troops immediately, and I don't know the bottom of my heart, and I asked her to tell the outcome of the expedition, and she gave me four words: there is help for the enemy. I didn't understand what it meant at the time, until the army went out on the expedition and encountered the rebels in Chonggang, and as soon as the battle began, King Huandou led his troops to attack Chonggang. Only then did I understand the meaning of the four words, that is, the reinforcements were from the enemy's kindred.

"Since then, whenever I lead troops to go out on an expedition or have a major event, I will find a hexagram on Burning Clothes, and there is no time that I am not allowed. I don't think the results of this divination will be bad. ”

I listened, gasped, and suddenly panicked in my heart.

I stood up and said to Ransheng Mutan, "Hearing you say this, I must go and persuade the monarch to turn back tonight." Let you be wronged first, and when I succeed in persuading your mother, I will come to welcome you. ”

After speaking, he hurried to the main account.

Just when I was only a few steps away from your grandmother's tent, suddenly there was an earth-shaking sound from the mountains to the west. Like a thousand tigers roaring in the mountains and forests, and like ten thousand horses galloping through the fighting room.

Then shouts of killing and screams were heard, moving closer from the west.

Before I could react, I saw countless snow-white and shiny monsters rushing left and right in the distance between the tents, and when I saw a person, I swallowed the gold directly in my stomach.

I hurriedly re-entered the tent.

Seeing that your grandmother is panicking, she doesn't know what to do.

I came in, pulled me in, and said, "What's the sound outside, what's going on?" ”

I said, "Yuhua, there are monsters attacking outside, hurry up and run away with me, it's too late." ”

After that, pull your grandma and run out.

At this moment, a white shadow flashed outside the big tent, and we suddenly stopped, standing in place and not daring to move.

A moment later, a scream was heard outside, and blood splattered on the cloth of the tent.

I quickly pulled your grandmother and hid under the table.

By the light of the fire outside, we saw a huge black shadow reflected in the tent.

The black image was a huge goat, with a mustache on its chin, but only a horn on the top of its head, curvy, like a large, slender conch embedded in the forehead. He was as big as a mule and a horse, and he held his head high. While chewing something in his mouth, he still bobbed his head from side to side, as if looking for something.

After a while, the dark shadow reflected in the tent slowly moved downward until it disappeared from the tent's cloth. That's when it went into the distance.

I whispered to your grandmother, "You stay and don't move, I'll go out and see if there are any monsters around, and if not, let's get out together." ”

Your grandmother nodded.

I was about to burrow out of the table, when suddenly the curtain of the big tent was lifted with a thud, and at the same time a huge snow-white sheep's head was protruding, and there was only one horn on the top, like a spiraling icicle, crystal clear.

I was shocked into a cold sweat, and I froze under the table and didn't dare to move.

Your grandmother's grip on my arm clenched even tighter.

The monster's head scanned around the tent, and when he saw that there was no one alive, he shrank back into the tent.

Then I heard footsteps in the distance.

Your grandmother let out a long sigh of relief and said, "What kind of monster is this?"

I said, "I haven't seen it either." ”
