Chapter 61: Return to the Void
Ye Ji saw that Xu Qing was thoughtful, gnawed down the piece of meat, but didn't chew it, so he said to Xu Qing: "If you don't believe us, at least you should understand Mr. Shenyin of Borrowing Cloud Village." What I say to you, you have to consider everything, don't be vigorous, and have clear grievances all day long. How can the truth of this world be so easy to see?"
Xu Qing said coldly: "What do you know? What Mr. said to me is as if he is breathing with you, don't always look like you can see through everything, which makes people unaccustomed to it." ”
Ye Ji smiled and didn't speak again. Peng Huai didn't say a word, he didn't know how many words he said to Xu Qing, but he couldn't hear a word, he just asked: "Young master, do you know the whereabouts of Yulan Yushan?" Xu Qing said: "They are okay for the time being, and they are recuperating in the countryside and villages." Peng Huai doubted: "Anyang, what is Anyang?"
Ye Ji said: "Why doesn't Lord Peng Wei know?"
Peng Huai was even more puzzled.
Xu Qing said: "If you don't know, you don't know, anyway, Miss Yulan doesn't want you to know." ”
Peng Huai said: "The old minister is stupid, can the young master be more detailed." ”
Ye Ji said: "Why should the Lord of Nightmare bother, since it is something that you don't want to know, you don't want to be greedy for knowledge." ”
Peng Huai was very bored, but when he learned that his two daughters were safe and sound, he was also relieved, so he gnawed on the meat and gaged his mouth.
Tonight was a long night, and the Nightmares slept on the spot after running out of wild boar.
As the day dawned, Xu Qing was awakened by the first glimmer of the morning sun. Seeing that Ye Ji and the others were ready to go, the Nightmare also packed up their packages, and there was nothing to do all night, and no Celin Army was found here. After all, Daming Mountain is far away from the city in the east, and the mountain is high and the road is far away, so as long as Li Chengdong does not leak a word, or arbitrarily compiles lies, and fools the Selin army, it doesn't matter.
Judging from the moment, this Li Chengdong didn't know what kind of ecstasy soup he was bewitched by Ye Ji Lao'er, and it was fortunate that he could not tell Serin of his whereabouts.
Time is running out, and the only thing Xu Qing cares about now is Zhao Li's safety. I couldn't wait to step down the mountain, and suddenly I saw that the nightmare was a little less.
Xu Qing's face was full of doubts, and he didn't want to ask questions. Now that he has been estranged from Ye Ji and others, he shouldn't say it, or he doesn't need to say it, and he won't spit out half a word.
The group cleaned up and went down the mountain. When I got down the mountain, I saw rows of nightmares already standing in front of me, and each of them had a good horse beside him.
Xu Qing came to his senses, thinking that there was a dark nightmare on the mountain, and the branch went to prepare a horse. There are horses to travel, which is a lot cheaper.
The people mounted their horses and galloped towards the north.
I don't know how many days I have been traveling, and how many times it is a starry night. Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the Void Mountain, Peng Huai ordered the Nightmare to take a detour, Xu Qing was unwilling, so everyone stopped their horses to discuss.
Stop next to the pine forest, deploy the Nightmare around, and rest for a while. Ye Ji Peng Huai Xu Qing entered the forest to trim, sat on the ground and leaned against the tree, Xu Qing took the lead and said: "Didn't you say that you were going to go to the Void Mountain to have a look?"
Peng Huai said: "Your Highness, you should know that our Dark Nightmare and that Xiao Song are mortal enemies, how can we enter the virtual realm? The purpose of our trip is to go to Beijing and infiltrate the palace. ”
Xu Qing said: "I don't care what you want, in short, I want to go to Void Mountain." If you don't go, let it be you, and I'll go to the head office myself. ”
Peng Huai hurriedly said: "No, Your Highness has a noble status, how can you go to the land of tigers and wolves? Without the protection of the Nightmare, what is the safety of Your Highness?"
Xu Qing said angrily: "I don't need your protection, I will be careful myself." ”
Before Peng Huai could say anything more, Ye Ji suddenly said: "Since you insist on going to the virtual realm, it's good for the teacher to accompany you." I have been there before, and I am familiar with the terrain there, and it will be better to have an old man to guide you. ”
Peng Huai said: "Envoy, that Xiao Song is not a vegetarian, His Royal Highness must not go!"
Ye Ji said: "Lord Nightmare can rest assured, Ye will take care of him." ”
Xu Qing sneered and turned his head. Looking at the group veins in the distance, it is real and empty, but it is full of mixed feelings. What kind of place is the Void Mountain, which has caused countless children of the rivers and lakes to die here?
Several people agreed, Peng Huai was helpless. But he also heard Ye Ji's words, so he had no choice but to lead part of the Dark Nightmare to the Northern Capital, leaving half of the Dark Nightmare to protect Xu Qing's safety.
However, when he was leaving, he asked Xu Qing to entrust him with the burden on his back. Xu Qing immediately became suspicious, Fang Qian fled for his life, forgot the heavy weight on his shoulders, and said to Peng Huai: "What is in this baggage?"
Peng Huai said: "Don't doubt the young master, when the young master arrives in the capital, the old minister will tell him." ”
Xu Qing said: "I spent a lot of effort with my master, and I disguised myself and turned over the house. It's ridiculously tight to almost put my life on the line in exchange for this burden that I don't even know, and I have to open it today. ”
After that, he put the burden on the ground, squatted down, and pulled the buckle. Peng Huai wanted to block it, but when he saw that Ye Ji made a look, he didn't care anymore. Xu Qing dismantled half of it, looked up and saw that Ye Ji and Peng Huai were indifferent, just looked at him, and didn't say anything.
Xu Qing didn't hesitate anymore and continued to dismantle the matter. When I opened it, it was a delicate box, and I had to look up and down left and right when I took it out. I saw that the box was mostly blue, flower carving, but the front was inlaid with uneven jade and gold characters, and the inscription was: "There is no bright moon in the lonely lamp at night, and the breeze is not worried." ”
Xu Qing didn't understand what he meant, and looked at Ye Ji Peng Huai. The two of them didn't know, Xu Qingfu read it carefully.
Peng Huai suddenly said: "Your Highness has also seen it, how about handing it over to the old minister?"
I saw that Xu Qing ignored it, and continued to fiddle with this thing, intending to open this box, but he didn't know where to start. After pulling for a long time, he looked at Ye Ji and said, "How to solve this?"
Ye Ji said: "If you can solve it, I won't let you see it." ”
Xu Qing looked down, and when he saw that Peng Huai wanted to take it, he was not happy, so he didn't give it to him, and said angrily: "If you don't show me the things inside, don't want to take it!"
Ye Ji said: "If you delay like this, it will not be good for Lord Zhao." ”
Xu Qing said angrily: "You don't come to trick me, I don't even know whether what you say is true or not, how can I count on you?"
Seeing that Ye Ji was still cold and pale, he felt bored, handed Peng Huai the box, lifted the scabbard, and walked forward.
The two groups parted ways and re-mounted. Ye Ji and Xu Qing and the other Dark Nightmare rushed towards the Void Mountain, and when they got there, the Dark Nightmare hid in the shadows. The Nightmare is good at concealment, and it will not be noticed, and in order to prevent the Selin Army, the Nightmare are hidden very deeply.
However, it is astonishing that there is no trace of the Sellin Army. Local villagers, townspeople, and even Yao Du, the owner of a tea house in Teapot Town, said that there had been no signs of the Serin's activities in recent days.
This is very puzzling, Ye Ji and Xu Qing have searched for hoe farmers in villages within ten miles of Taihu Lake at the foot of the Void Mountain, and they are also ordinary tongues. Xu Qing wanted to go straight up the mountain, but Ye Ji refused, just because the former, Lu Youzi and the others suffered a loss, and then ended up with a tragic death.
Lessons from the past, now we have to be more careful, Ye Ji insisted on pulling Xu Qing into the tea garden town, and the two had lunch.
went to the tea house as a guest again, and the owner Yao Du saw Ye Ji and immediately called him in. The three of them sat in the front hall together, Ye Ji took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for many days, don't come to Yao Dazhuang unharmed." ”
Yao Du sighed: "In these years, there are soldiers and horses of the imperial court everywhere. These days are becoming more and more restless, and the business of the tea house is not very good. ”
Ye Ji said: "At present, the imperial court is wantonly conquest, and the rivers and lakes and martial arts are all suffering. The owner of the village should be careful not to have anything to do with the people of the rivers and lakes. ”
Xu Qing said in vain: "We are Jianghu people, and Shizun's move is really interesting." ”
Yao Du smiled: "This young man, don't care. Yao Mou has always respected people in the rivers and lakes, and wanted to learn martial arts in his early years, so he stepped into the martial arts. It's a pity that the talent is not good, plus the heir of the virtuous wife, so I have no choice but to give up.
The two of them can rest assured to live here, as for the imperial court, Yao will definitely do his best to protect the two of them. ”
Ye Ji said: "Thank you for the kindness of Master Yao, but my beloved disciple and I only came to inquire about it, not to stay here." ”
Yao Du said: "I see, what do you two have to ask?"
Ye Ji said: "I came from the south with my apprentice, and I saw that there was no soldier guarding around this Taihu Lake, but I don't know where the previous military horses went?"
Yao Du said: "I don't know this below, some time ago, I saw a soldier wearing green armor coming to Chayuan Town to inspect. But unexpectedly, since the day before yesterday, I haven't seen it again. ”
Ye Ji said: "Since the day before yesterday, haven't you seen you again?"
Yao Du said: "Maybe it wasn't the day before yesterday, and the Qingjia sergeant didn't come over every day, but he rarely went out." Anyway, I haven't seen those people in the past few days. ”
Ye Ji understood, Xu Qing said: "We have inquired about these along the way, don't go up the mountain to take a look, how do you know what the result is?"
Yao Du hurriedly said: "Don't move lightly! This Void Mountain is so strange that Brother Liu once told me that his master had fallen for a trick, causing the whole faction to be besieged. There may be someone in ambush on this Void Mountain. ”
After that, he said: "Speaking of Brother Liu, why didn't you see Brother Liu coming with you, where did he go?"
Ye Ji said: "Master Yao Zhuang rest assured, Senior Nephew Liu went to Yecheng. ”
Yao Du said: "Is there something going on there?"
Ye Ji said: "The imperial court soldiers and horses have set foot there, and Senior Nephew Liu went over to investigate. ”
The two chatted a few words, but Xu Qing was already impatient, and he couldn't sit still several times, wanting to stand up and leave. Thinking about this tea house, Yao Du is a big family, and he must not lose his politeness in front of this person, so that he can look down on himself.
I endured it until now, and then Yao Du smiled: "It seems that this Xu Shaoxia can't sit still, and the two of you have a lot of things." If you don't want to stay longer, I'll send a car to take you away. ”
Ye Jike said: "Master Yao Zhuang doesn't have to be like this, the two of us are Jianghu wanderers, why do you need to drive?"
Bidding farewell to Yao Du, the two left the tea house and went outside the tea garden town. Xu Qing was about to go up the mountain, Ye Ji thought about it for a while, and felt that if he didn't go up the mountain to visit, he really couldn't get a conclusion.
I had to accompany Xu Qing to the edge of Taihu Lake, but I saw that the lake was empty, and I couldn't see the traces of the Qingjia Army. There was a boat shed in front of it, and there were several wooden boats in it, and the two of them got on the wooden boats. Xu Qing was paddling outside, and Ye Ji was sitting inside. However, for a while, when I arrived on the other side of the lake, I still couldn't see a trace of people.
Ye Ji was a little hesitant, thinking that this Xiao Song would never let himself go up the mountain easily. If you really go to the outside, or Yecheng or the Central Plains, or even the Jade Flute in southern Anhui, at least this Void Mountain will not be empty. At the moment, it was very suspicious, and immediately stopped Xu Qing, Xu Qing was a little different, and Ye Ji hurriedly said: "You still need to be cautious in everything, this Xiao Song must have sent someone to ambush here." You and I need to be careful, don't be careless. ”
Xu Qing said: "Now that they have crossed the Taihu Lake, if they have an ambush, why don't they attack the two of us in the lake? ”
Ye Ji said: "The Qingjia Army is an army after all, and it is not like the disciples of Taihu Lake or the shallow water disciples who are familiar with water, and this side of the shore is a dangerous situation. ”
Xu Qing said: "Then what are you going to do? Don't you go up the mountain and wait here?"
Ye Ji said: "Let's let the Nightmare go up to explore first." ”
Yan Yan clapped his hands, and then the three of them fell from the sky, knelt down and said, "What does the envoy command?"
Ye Ji said: "You wait to go up and take a look." ”
