32 Tied up
Zhuang Haoming and Xie Yixiang rode the flying magpie with the rose thorn, and saw that the sky was getting brighter and brighter, and the Dongting Lake under the morning sun was even more light and light. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info But seeing the flying magpie flying west with its back to the sun, the shaking momentum of the wooden wings on both sides gradually slowed down, and finally showed a downward trend.
Xie Yixiang raised his eyes and saw that not far from Dongting Lake, more than 50 tiger-headed giant ships were parked in a staggered manner, and the same as Yang Ziliao's giant ship yesterday, lined up in a straight row with each other, and it was slightly undulating with the surging of the lake. Behind that row of giant ships, a mountain that stretched for more than ten miles towered in the middle of the lake, like a turquoise dragon breaking through the water, and the terrain in the north turned sharply, flooding the mountain wall with a knife and axe, just like the dragon's head roaring in the sky.
Now the green mountain is faintly dotted with the lights that were not extinguished last night, and I think that it is the base camp of Jiang Wangcai, the cardinal Longyue Island of the entire Dongting Lake.
The flying magpie under the two of them swooped straight down towards a small mountain full of gardenias on Longyue Island. In this early spring, the gardenias on the mountain had not yet budded, only a green flower leaf, but when I heard the sharp sirens sounding on the island one after another, and then a low horn sounded, it was Jiang Wangcai's men who had discovered the whereabouts of the two. For a while, thousands of men in green appeared on the giant ship, on the shore of the lake, and on the mountain peak, staring at this strange scene in the air at a loss.
When Xie Yixiang saw this posture, he knew that the power of this Dongting Lake Jiang Wangcai was really extraordinary. She was in amazement, when a sky of feather arrows flew from the island, shooting straight at herself and Zhuang Haoming in mid-air.
I only heard Zhuang Haoming, who was sitting in front of the flying magpie, laughing, spinning and dancing with his two long sleeves like wheels, and swept the flying feather arrows into the lake one by one. Zhuang Haoming remembered the advice of the "Rose Thorn" and asked them to leave this flying magpie early, so he took out a free hand to hold Xie Yixiang behind him, and shouted in a low voice: "Let's go." ”
Xie Yixiang reacted very quickly, and immediately jumped up with Zhuang Haoming and jumped away from the wooden bird under him. The two of them lifted their breath in the air and slowly floated towards the island with the help of the wind. The flying magpie flew straight forward, and crashed into the gardenia halfway up the mountain, making a shocking noise, but it detonated the machine spring bomb hidden in the bird's body under the impact, and it was instantly blown to pieces.
Xie Yixiang looked at the flames that ignited where the flying magpie fell, and was amazed and faintly regretful. I don't know what the sacredness of the rose thorn is, not only can it produce such a world-class flying weapon, but also secretly set up a mechanism to destroy it, leaving no trace of wreckage, and its actions are really tight.
Zhuang Haoming and Xie Yixiang fell down from mid-air, and they were about to fall on the open space in front of the island, Zhuang Haoming suddenly swung out his long sleeves and slapped the ground, stirring up a large cloud of dust, and the whereabouts of the two of them slowed down slightly. He took this opportunity to pull Xie Yixiang to turn three big circles in the air one after another, and then the falling momentum was eliminated and landed firmly on the ground.
As soon as he stepped on the island on the ground, Zhuang Haoming's long sleeves waved again, blocking several incoming blades. Xie Yixiang saw clearly at this time, and saw that there were men in green who were swarming in all directions, and they were naturally Jiang Wangcai's subordinates. She hurriedly pulled out the mess around her waist, but she heard Zhuang Haoming breathe violently, exhaled and shouted: "The arrest Fang Zhuang Haoming, together with the third lady of General Xie's family, came to see Jiang Ye. ”
The north-south direction of this Longyue Island is about ten miles long, and the east-west direction is also two miles wide and narrow, like a giant dragon stretching out its dragon head from the lake, facing the north and laying it flat on the surface of Dongting Lake.
Zhuang Haoming and Xie Yixiang were tied up by an arm-thick oil rope at this time, and the big holes on their bodies were also sealed, and only one pair of feet could still move. Under the escort of more than 20 men in green, the two of them walked all the way from north to south along this Dragon Leap Island, successively jumped over three small hills and two thin rivers, a total of five checkpoints, and a mountain peak more than ten zhang high appeared in front of them, bare without a single star of grass and trees, standing alone on the island. I only heard a man in green whisper: "This mountain is Yubi Peak, and it is the place where my Jiang Ye usually discusses and meets guests." ”
Xie Yixiang secretly laughed in her heart, this mountain peak is less than one-tenth of the north peak of the Purple Mountain outside Jinling City, but it is also called "Yubi Peak" with an iron skin, then Jiang Wangcai is really magnificent. A man in green at the head took a few steps and talked to a few guards in front of the mountain in code, and then someone slowly blew the horn.
Xie Yixiang saw that these men in green were all dressed in ordinary clothes, and there was no difference between them, thinking that Jiang Wangcai's rules were extremely strict, and the disciples under the seat were dressed up very well. I only heard the sound of steel twisting gradually from the bare Yubi Peak, and then the mountain shook slightly, accompanied by the mud and sand that slipped on all sides, the whole mountain peak actually rose upward, and it was a zhang long and short for no reason, just like a huge bamboo shoot breaking out of the ground from the flat ground. At the foot of the mountain, on a rock wall that had just risen from the ground, a dark cave was revealed.
It turns out that there is a hidden mystery in the mountain of this Yubi Peak, and the entrance to the mountain is actually hidden under the ground. To find this entrance, it is necessary for someone inside the mountain to activate the mechanism and raise the entire mountain peak to reveal the hole buried in the ground. You must know that although this mountain peak is only ten zhang high, but the foot of the mountain is also about twenty zhang wide, the total weight is about tens of millions of catties, if every time someone goes in, the whole mountain will be raised like this, then I don't know how much manpower and material resources will be consumed. Seeing this posture, although Xie Yixiang was extremely disdainful of Jiang Wangcai, she couldn't help but secretly speak.
As soon as the two of them landed, in the face of the green-clothed men who were surging from all directions, Zhuang Haoming did not resist, and was just captured. Although Xie Yixiang didn't know what Zhuang Haoming was planning in his heart, it was inconvenient to resist anymore, so he was tied up with those green-clothed men and sealed several acupoints. At this time, she saw that Zhuang Haoming was still silent, and let those green-clothed men push him into the cave at the foot of Yubi Peak Mountain, and Xie Yixiang had no choice but to follow closely and step into the dark cave.
This cave looks dark from a distance, and it seems to be extremely deep, but in fact it is only about ten steps long. Xie Yixiang only felt that the terrain under his feet first extended a few steps downward, and then immediately changed to an upward trend, and the trend of the cave was getting higher and higher. Before he had taken a few steps, there was a sudden light in front of him, but the sun was shining on his head, and there were bare mountain peaks on all sides.
Xie Yixiang suddenly understood that the so-called Yubi Peak was an empty shell, and the entire mountain had been hollowed out, leaving only a circle of eggshell-like mountain walls outside, enclosing the open space of more than 20 zhang square. Seeing that in the middle of this circle of mountain walls, there were more than 100 sturdy men standing silently at this moment, all of them with their mouths closed, not daring to make a sound, just like the green-clothed men outside, wearing all green cloth short jackets.
And on the south stone wall inside this mountain wall, a stone platform was carved in relief, and three men were sitting side by side on it. Although it is far away, with Xie Yixiang's "poor thousands of miles" eyesight, it can be seen clearly. One of the three was slightly in the front, about thirty or forty years old, with a face like a crown of jade, and three long beards and chests. At this time, he saw Zhuang Haoming and Xie Yixiang enter this Yubi Peak, and immediately smiled slightly, and said loudly: "'The mighty spirit lasts forever, the mirror is thousands of miles', 'chaotic parting, competing for the moon and Yixiang', sure enough, they are all people as their namesake, flying vertically and horizontally." The two of you came down from the sky today, I don't know what to advise?"
Hearing him say this, he is naturally the head of the room. Could it be that this middle-aged man dressed as a scribe is actually Jiang Wangcai, who has been in control of Huguang for more than ten years, and even the imperial court has to be afraid of three points? You must know that Jiang Wangcai became famous before the founding of this dynasty, and has been crisscrossing the vast land of the lake for more than ten years.
