After Yue fully explained the seriousness of this matter to Shangguan Yi, he changed the topic and asked about something else: "Can you find her?"
"It's a bit difficult to be in such a maze, but it's okay, right? King Ning shouldn't do anything over there, so don't worry... Right?" Shangguan Yi replied with some hesitation.
"In the battle of life and death, in order to survive, how can there be so many rules to follow? Could it be that you think he is a person of noble character and abiding by the rules?" Yue asked rhetorically.
"He's really a villain. Shangguan Yi did not deny Yue's opinion, was silent for a while, and said: "It seems that the other party is very cautious, this is the second temptation, right? Well, I don't know if it's King Ning or Qi Qi, or someone else is in command, it's a little too steady." β
"Yes, on the surface, he is a general, and he wants to kill us here and win the victory, but in fact, he just wants to force us out more hands, and it seems that he is not sure that he will not easily fight to the death.
Qiqi is this character, so this time and the last time, or the matter of Cheongju may be planned by him. But not necessarily in the future, there must be someone behind him, a stronger guy. Tsuki's expression was solemn, and it seemed that this was a big problem for her.
"There is a way to solve it, if you lose, with that gem, you should be able to escape with your life, as long as you escort her to the imperial tomb. "Shangguan Yi is very relaxed, and he doesn't have a burden as big as Yue.
"Don't you want to win?" said Yue as she stared at him, displeased.
"I don't know why, after seeing her performance at the worship ceremony, I think winning is a must, and there is no reason to lose, unless she doesn't want to win. Shangguan Yi said very inexplicable words, and the whole person looked like he was winning.
"What are you kidding, even if she has that Son of Heaven Sword, it's useless, right? Yue looked at Shangguan Yi like a neuropath.
"Let's wait and see, I have a hunch that this thing can't be explained. Shangguan Yi shook his head and didn't explain much to Yue.
In fact, he suddenly figured out some things, such as the attitude of Miao Jiangci's sacrifice before coming and the purpose of his visit this time.
The second priest said that even if this operation encounters danger, it will turn evil into good fortune, just like this time, first Qiqi came to look for trouble, but was relieved by the gray squirrel, and then worried that the gray squirrel would find trouble with him, and he would never die, but it just asked for a few drops of its own essence blood and left, leaving a bargaining chip for the transaction. If this is the case along the way, then the emperor can also reach the imperial tomb safely, right?
In other words, if the high priest of Miao Jiang is a politician, he should be on the side of the winning side, because only the winner is qualified to decide everything, and their interests can be guaranteed, although this time the situation is more special, and the other side is their real enemy. Because he didn't have to choose + to stand on the winner's side, these two premises produced the result of him helping the emperor, that is, the support he gave to Shangguan Yi before, although Shangguan Yi paid the price in exchange, but whether it was the second sacrifice or Shangguan Yi understood that his blood was not of such a high value, and he couldn't exchange it for so many things, just because the high priest just needed it, and he also needed to help the emperor, and by the way, he sent a favor to himself. But in the next more dangerous ancestor worship parade, he almost didn't care, except for the friendship of the second sacrifice and gave some wound medicine, even if he didn't even give a word of advice, let alone any help.
Is this understandable that this person has already seen the outcome of this battle, and because he knows the general direction of the end, he is not panicked at all?
If that's the case, then you don't need to panic, just be alert to unexpected situations, try to do the best you can in case of trouble, and just go with the flow.
"Knock Knock"
Shangguan Yi heard this voice and opened the window.
Wei Wu reported outside: "Young Master, there seems to be a fork in the road ahead, which way should we go?"
"Left. Shangguan Yi disguised the emperor's voice and made a decision with a little majesty, which was also the way they had agreed before.
"Young Master, if my subordinates guessed correctly, there are people from your own side who have taken the right passage, do you need to send someone to call them back?" Wei Wu reported something that surprised Shangguan Yi a little: someone seemed to have violated their previous agreement and went another way.
Shangguan Yi looked at Yue in some surprise, and Yue shook her head and made a stop gesture.
"No, don't divide the troops, let's stay here for a while, you send someone to determine if there are really only these two roads around, remember that the people sent out must be led by ropes, don't leave without permission, don't go too far. Shangguan Yi's heart moved slightly and gave a new order.
"Yes. Wei Wu did not doubt that he had him, and went to carry out this latest order.
"There seems to be something strange here, and in my perception, there is no fork in the road. Yue's statement made Shangguan Yi stunned, and he muttered: "But there are three forks in the road in my perception, is it a disturbance to perception and vision? β
"Is this the true face of Lost Canyon? There is more than one entrance, and there is more than one exit, no matter how long you linger in it, as long as you don't die, you will always get out, but you don't know which exit you go out. Yue repeated what the emperor had told the two of them, and at this moment they finally realized the horror of the canyon described in this passage: it is useless to agree in advance which way to take, because the forks in the road that appear in front of you and in front of him may not be the same, and even the timing of the fork in the road may be different, so how can a simple agreement to take the left side solve the problem?
In fact, as the two of them noticed, the Imperial Guards carried out the blind man touching the elephant operation, (because there is not much difference between seeing and not seeing in the fog of this canyon, and exploring the front is like a blind man touching the elephant), and the people sent to the operation are tied to the line, starting from the carriage, and also the center of the circle to explore the surroundings, expanding the range little by little, confirming the situation of the fork in the road......
"Report to the young master, we have found four forks in the road, and it is speculated that there may be more than four roads to take. Wei Wu's face was a little ugly, and he came over to report the situation to the "emperor".
"Is that really the case? There's no time to rub around here, well, just take the road with your own traces, be careful not to be ambushed, find a way out of this canyon and then correct the route, that's all. Shangguan Yi groaned, breaking the jar and breaking it like this. Anyway, it seems that no matter which way you go, then follow a person from your own side, and if you scatter a few people, you will scatter a part less, and it will be easy to find when you look for it, and of course you must beware of the harassment of Qiqi.
"Yes. Wei Wu agreed without hesitation, and began to direct everyone to walk down that road. He is not smart, and he is not good at speculating on things, so it is impossible for him to find out that the "emperor" who communicates with him through the curtain is not the real emperor. It's just that he has enough force, is loyal, and has his own set of policies for handling things, and will not be abducted by villains, so it is enough for the emperor, if his subordinates are all Shangguan Yi, and people like Mo Lan will have to work a lot of effort just to fight wits and courage with them.
Because Shangguan Yi expressed the intention of following the group of people in front, Wei Wu did not come to disturb for a long time, he commanded the team to follow the people in front, advance at an appropriate speed, and divide the Royal Forest Army into squads to be vigilant around, and try to avoid danger, so it was also very smooth to walk like this for about two or three hours, and finally walked out of the canyon, and also saw Yue Zhengdao, Jiu Yao and others waiting for them in front, as well as two or three carriages, naturally including the one occupied by Yue Zhengdao: the real emperor stayed thereγ
"Report to the young master, we have gone out of the area of action of the canyon and successfully joined Yue Zhengdao and the others, but the carriages of the other adults have not been seen. In addition, based on the terrain and some features, it is speculated that this place has deviated from our course, and I am afraid that the route needs to be corrected, and I don't know what the specific direction is here, so it is a little difficult to correct. "Wei Wu came over to report on the current situation.
"First meet with Yue Zhengdao and the others, let him come over and report the situation on his side, you go and communicate with the secret guards, explore the surrounding situation, find other people, and by the way, draw up a draft plan for route correction. Shangguan Yi skillfully pretended to be the emperor's voice and gave an order, and sent Wei Wu away to let Yue Zhengdao come over, that person should already know what was going on.
"Report to the young master, I'm here. Yue Zhengdao came over here quickly, and he didn't show anything on his face, but there was still a trace of abnormality compared to his usual performance.
"Well, what's going on over there, why did you arrive so much earlier than us?" Shangguan Yi asked with a pretended majesty.
"That's right, as we walked, we suddenly found that your carriage, including the commander of Weiwu and others, was missing, and after trying to find it, there was nothing to gain, and then I decided to move on, but in the process of advancing, there were fewer and fewer companions, and sometimes I even watched them disappear, and the shouts could not be heard. Fortunately, I didn't encounter any other crises along the way, which is a great luck. As you can see, in the end, I led these people out of the canyon successfully, and while I was trying to find the others, the Commander of the Guardians protected you out of the fog, and the two of us converged. When Yue Zhengdao spoke, the word "I" in it was bitten a little heavily, which of course meant that Shangguan Yi was not me but the emperor in the carriage, although in the eyes of outsiders, he was indeed a wise and martial leader who led a group of people to come out without many detours.
"Well, you've worked hard. Shangguan Yi seemed to nod and condoled Yue Zhengdao, but the word "you" was also bitten very hard.
"I'm fine, Young Master Xie is worried. "Yue Zhengdao bowed his hand, etiquette or something is in place, after all, there are others watching next to him.
......
Shangguan Yi and they waited here for another two or three hours, waiting for the results of the investigation of the secret guards, during which they continued to guide people or carriages to rush here, and converged with the large army, and finally basically converged everyone after dawn, but they still lost a few royal forest troops, it seemed to be scattered in the fog, and the question of whether they were still alive was not very clear, but they didn't have time to wait for them, so they set off again.
The secret guards have already sorted out the information they need: the draft route correction, anyway, it is no problem for Shangguan Yi, just follow this for the time being, in fact, it is to go around the road in front of them to the place where they should be, and then set off from there, it is a bit of a laborious thing, but they have to do it, who let that route also be tossed by those old men. You can deviate from the route temporarily, but you must go back to the route, well, it's so awkward and persistent.
Of course, as soon as the convoy took action, Yue brought the emperor back, and it was not advisable to let Shangguan Yi disguise, he may not know what she knew, and it was easy to show his feet.
"Now, how are you guys doing here? It's not a big deal...... What's wrong with you? It seems that you are seriously injured, what about Yue? Is Yue okay?" After the emperor came over, he began to ask about the situation here, and after noticing Shangguan Yi's abnormality, he suddenly checked the situation of his girlfriend in a panic. After all, in the plan, unless it is a last resort, there is no need to expose the fact that the emperor is pretending to be Shangguan Yi, this last resort refers to the fact that the enemy's attack directly threatens the safety of the people in the carriage, and others can't stop it, basically the situation is exhausted. At this point, Yue should inevitably get hurt, right?
"Hawkers, it's okay, it's a little different from what you think, although Qiqi has a lot of means, but there are other things to disrupt the situation, so it is in vain. Although this guy paid a little price, his anomaly is finally over, which can be regarded as gratifying. This time the other party's temptation was in vain, is there still a key point in Cheongju?" Yue briefly explained.
"No, if you still want to attack, you can basically only fight head-on. The emperor shook his head.
"But not necessarily, although the other party's plan to test our strength failed, but their infiltration plan should have been successful, how successful it was, we can't see any clues, random suspicion of someone's words will only cause panic and turmoil, if you leave it alone, you may be like a poisonous snake that doesn't know when it will come out and bite us, and it is a very fatal bite. Shangguan Yi said with a headache.
"Is it such an exaggeration?" the emperor was a little skeptical.
"It's all over the place, you also know the situation in the prison, once someone gets in, it's hard to find out, and I seem to have ignored this question from the beginning, in the Royal Forest Army, in the entourage ministers, whether there is an undercover agent of the other party, if it is an undercover agent in a human skin mask, it is even more terrifying. Shangguan Yi smiled a little bitterly, this feeling of not knowing who is credible and who is not credible is really terrible.
"Are you telling a bad joke?" The emperor wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh, he was not afraid of 10,000 in everything, and 10,000 might not be trusted for the sake of this eventual possibility.
"Okay, don't scare yourself, beware, just know this possibility, disguise is not omnipotent. Yue opened her mouth to play a round, and if she continued to talk about it, she was afraid that these two people would be scared.
