Cicadas, praying mantises, and yellow finches (bottom)

Outside Yuezhou City, a woman in black staggered on the official road.

It rained at night, and the sun shone brightly during the day.

The woman's lips were white and dry, and she felt that her head was heavy, as if there were hundreds of flies flying in her head.

Lightheaded, every step must be carefully watched at the road under your feet.

Obviously, it was not a pit in front of me, but when I stepped on it, I splashed muddy water.

She looked at a tree beside the official road, and walked over, wanting to close her eyes and lean for a while.

She felt very tired and tired, and the shadows of the trees in front of her seemed to be shaking, but the corners of her mouth were always curvature.

The moment she fell, she seemed to see a stream of black shadows floating towards her, and she could even see the headbands fluttering in the wind on the hair of those black shadows. The moment those dark shadows appeared, she finally felt that she was too tired to do anything, and closed her eyes in reassurance.

During the war, the gates could not be opened at will, and this time was no exception.

But this group of girls in black was unruly, and since they couldn't open the city gate, they jumped down the door.

The soldiers guarding the gate were trying to stop it, and if it was night, it would be enough, and not many people would pay attention, but what was their prestige when the emperor jumped down from the city gate?

These soldiers could only watch a group of girls jump off the city like black swans, their faces were hot, but they dared not speak angrily.

Even the young man in the wheelchair was there, because next to him stood a woman in black who was constantly sneering.

Liu Chenglang was also a little helpless, the woman in black was already dissatisfied with him, if he stopped this group of girls from going down to save people at this time, he was afraid that his actions would be greatly hindered in the future.

Besides, it's nothing for the group of girls in black to go down to pick up people, it's just that they can't get over their faces.

Han Yan'er was taken to the city tower, and the woman in black immediately surrounded her.

She took a closer look at the arrow wounds on Han Yan'er's arms and legs, then rolled her eyelids and lips, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yan'er is fine, it's just some skin trauma and overwork, send her to rest!"

Hearing the woman in black speak, the group of girls sent Han Yan'er down.

During the whole process, Liu Chenglang didn't look at it, like a piece of air.

"If you want to ask, wait until she wakes up!" the woman in black glanced at Liu Chenglang and said coldly.

"Thank you, Captain Wu, let Miss Yan'er have a good rest, thank you Miss Yan'er!" he arched his hand towards the woman in black.

The woman in black glanced at him and said, "You'd better ask, otherwise something will go wrong, and the old body can't afford it!"

Liu Chenglang smiled helplessly, and could only explain: "The moment this Yan'er girl fainted, the expression on her face gave me a sense of relief, so I thought the news had arrived, but it was ......"

The young man in the wheelchair paused.

"But what?"

Liu Chenglang's face was embarrassed, and he was still selling Guanzi.

"Don't mess with the old man!" said the woman in black.

Liu Chenglang was not annoyed, smiled faintly, and stroked his palm.

"Congratulations to Miss Yan'er!"

Looking at the eyes of the woman in black who was about to breathe fire, he said: "Miss Yan'er's wounds are smeared with good healing medicine, these medicines should be used by the palace emperor, and they are not suitable for the army and will not use such expensive things!"

"What do you want to say!"

Liu Chenglang immediately replied: "This person should have a high status in the army, and he also has a certain backstage in the palace!"

Yoo Seung-lang is loud!

Unexpectedly, the woman in black didn't have much reaction after hearing this, she just rolled her eyes and glanced at Liu Chenglang, and then said lightly: "That's all?"

Liu Chenglang didn't expect the woman in black to react like this, and was slightly stunned.

The woman in black didn't give him a chance to continue, and turned to leave.

A green-shirted scribe turned out from behind the city wall, and Wang Huihai walked away.

Liu Chenglang smiled bitterly, and Lu Jiangqiao also smiled bitterly.

"Why are you smiling?" asked Yoo Seung-lang.

"I, laugh at this woman, they won't listen to any important information when they are unreasonable!"

Immediately, Lu Jiangqiao looked at Liu Chenglang and asked, "Then why are you laughing?"

Liu Chenglang seemed to remember something, shook his head slightly, and said: "I, laugh at this woman, I hate men who take advantage of their feelings the most!"

Lu Jiangqiao was slightly stunned, gave a thumbs up, and was full of praise.

"High!"

However, he quickly said: "This is not a simple person who is good with Han Yan'er, don't you take advantage of one or two?"

Although Lu Jiangqiao didn't say who to use, Liu Chenglang knew that he was referring to Han Yan'er.

"Then this woman won't tear me up, but she's a grandmaster-level master!" Liu Chenglang said with a smile. Then he asked with the smell of an exam, "Can you guess the identity of that person?"

Lu Jiangqiao thought for a while and said, "The smell of the medicine just now, I smelled it from afar, it is not an ordinary medicine!"

"I have been in the palace for a long time, and this medicine can often be seen, and it is very common in the palace and on that group of people, but it never flows to the people. ”

Liu Chenglang also nodded, he was also familiar with this medicine, he had also used it, the woman used this medicine to help him apply his wounds, and also told her that this was a special medicine for the royal family.

"Even if Xu Changan can get the medicine, he is guarding the Chuijiang River, so naturally it is not him. ”

Lu Jiangqiao analyzed, and then continued: "In addition to Xu Changan, there is only one person who is most likely." ”

Liu Chenglang nodded, stretched out his hand and said, "You write that person's surname to me, and see if the two of us think the same." ”

Lu Jiangqiao rolled up his sleeves and wrote a word on Liu Chenglang's hand.

Yoo Seunglang nodded.

"Then do you plan to use Han Yan'er?" Lu Jiangqiao asked. Of course, when he says "use", he means "use".

Liu Chenglang spread out his palms, lowered his head and said: "This time it is a big gift to him, if it is a war between men, you need to use women and children to win, then you will lose." ”

Liu Chenglang said, waved his hand, and Wang Huihai immediately walked over and pushed him downstairs.

He looked at his empty palm, and suddenly clenched it tightly. It seems that he wants to crush the word "ginger" that Lu Jiangqiao wrote in the palm of his hand just now.

......

The sky was slightly bright, and He Jiao was full of joy.

He got the map and personally sent someone to investigate, which proved Yoo Seunglang's words.

He Jiao held his breath and was ready to surprise Jiang Ming.

The sky was faintly bright, and a path was full of snakes.

If you let passers-by see it, no matter how bold you are, you will be shocked by the scene in front of you.

Countless snakes surged on the path, densely packed, and people's scalps were numb.

The ground was soft and a little damp.

The sound of "hissing" kept coming, and it seemed that even the snakes knew that they were going to be able to avenge their companions. They kept spitting out scarlet serpents, which seemed to be candles lit before dawn.

In front of us is Dream Creek Valley.

Sandwiched by mountains on both sides, a path can only be passed sideways by one person, if it is an ordinary person to take a shortcut, but if it is a march, I am afraid that it is a dead land.

When He Jiao saw this valley and this trail himself, he smiled with satisfaction.

The dark moss on the stone walls and the smell of decay and dampness indicate that very few people pass by on this path.

I'm afraid that Jiang Ming wouldn't expect that he would kill him from an impossible place and catch him off guard.

The mountains on both sides of the trail are dozens of meters high, just like a mountain, and a lot of water falls from the top of the trail, "ticking, ticking", and the echo in the trail keeps reverberating.

Under He Jiao's command, the snakes poured into the path.

If it is a human, it can only pass sideways one by one, but snakes are different, they can be stacked on top of each other.

Seeing that all the snakes had entered this path, He Jiao smiled proudly, he seemed to have seen Jiang Ming's shocked appearance when the snakes entered the city tomorrow.

At this moment, a sharp voice came, shattering his sweet dream.

I saw that torches suddenly lit up on the mountains on both sides, and the soldiers who came from nowhere carried sacks and kept throwing them down.

On the other side of the exit, I don't know when a fire broke out, and thick smoke rose into the sky.

After waiting for the soldiers to drop the sacks, a general with a silver-white spear waved his hand, and everyone immediately threw the torch in their hand into the narrow alley.

Suddenly, there was a crackling sound in the path, accompanied by screams.

He Jiao's eyes were split, this scene seemed familiar.

He looked at Jiang Ming, who was located on the mountain, and his eyes were split.

How could Jiang Ming ambush in advance, don't even think about it, who else will there be besides Liu Chenglang?

The smell of burnt meat came out, although it was very damp in the path, but Jiang Ming threw a large amount of flammable materials, and the fire quickly burned.

He Jiao seemed to see his precious snake writhing in pain, trying to rush out of the trail.

Unfortunately, the trail is narrow and long, and they can't rush out, so they can only roar unwillingly.

He Jiao looked at Liu Chenglang on the top of the mountain, rose to the sky, and said viciously: "Okay, you two boys, the old man slaughtered you first today, and then he will abolish that dead cripple when he goes back!"

Saying that, He Jiao's carrier had the power of a grandmaster, and he rushed straight to Jiang Ming!

......

And in the jungle not far from the Dream Valley, a young man saw the burst of smoke, clapped his hands happily and said: "This dead cripple really has two hands, a good praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow finches behind, and my son will make that yellow finch today." ”

The man in the dark showed a pair of eyes, like poisonous snake-like eyes, which made people shudder.

He grinned and smiled with white teeth, and raised his head slightly, revealing his true face.

The only grandson of the Han family, Han Zhi!
