Xiao Jinyan sensed the problem the moment he released the string force.

This group of snowwolves are aggressive, targeted, and methodical, and look like they've been trained. Therefore, he deliberately used the string force to detect whether there were any people lurking in the dark manipulation around him, and only then did he discover that there was a faint true element fluctuation in the snow, if it weren't for his perception that was different from ordinary people, it would be difficult for even a master of the general image to find it.

In the entire rivers and lakes, the only people who can control the beasts are the beast tamers. The Northern Xinjiang Beast Taming Palace, the East China Sea Hundred Flowers Palace, the Tianshan Leisure School, and the East Pole Hundred Craftsmen Gate are called the four great strange gates on the rivers and lakes, and they do not win by force, but are good at thaumaturgy. The Beast Taming Hall can control beasts, the Hundred Flowers Palace is good at soul magic, the Loose Sect is known for its Qimen Dunjia, and the Hundred Craftsmen Gate is good at making tools for strange and skillful skills.

These four strange gates are rarely circulated in the rivers and lakes, and Xiao Jinyan also learned about them from Wang Banxian. The Temple of Beast Taming is able to control beasts with sound, and their disciples mostly use a kind of eight-hole black iron flute blade. Unlike the regular six-hole flute, the eight-hole Xuantie flute has two extra holes, which can be trained to blow sounds that cannot be heard by the human ear, and these sounds can be heard by some wild beasts. It is said that after they captured the beasts, they starved them for ten days to stimulate their animal nature, and then stimulated them with different sounds, so as to control their behavior.

When the eight-hole Xuantie flute broke through the snow, Xiao Jinyan was even more sure of the identity of the other party, so he didn't hesitate to split it.

Boom!

The long knife struck the black iron flute, making a piercing sound. When the attacking wolves heard the sound, they all stopped attacking.

The man was hit by Xiao Jinyan, and the whole person rolled on the spot, retreating three or four feet backwards. Xiao Jinyan struck while the iron was hot, and with the same move, he slashed more than ten knives in a row, the man was embarrassed, rolling around, the snow on his body was getting thicker and thicker, and he couldn't control it, and it turned into a snowball, stuck in a stone crevice, leaving only one head outside.

This person had sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, inverted triangular eyes, and a vicious look in his eyes, looking at Xiao Jinyan and said, "How did you find me?"

Xiao Jinyan said, "I heard the buzzing of flies. ”

"Hurry up and let me go, I can spare your life. ”

Xiao Jinyan was surprised, "This sentence, you said it out of place. I don't like to hear it. "It was a slap in the face, and he was slapped.

The man couldn't move his hands and feet, his lips were closed, and he whistled, and the wolves heard the greeting, regardless of Chu Bieli, Li Desert and others, they rushed to this side, surrounding Xiao Jinyan in the center, with a fierce look in his eyes.

The man laughed wickedly, "I don't need to use my hands and feet, I can still take your life." ”

As he spoke, he was about to whistle, Xiao Jinyan grabbed a ball of snow and pried his mouth open, the man struggled twice, but his hands and feet were trapped, he whined twice, and his mouth was stuffed with snow.

"Do you have the ability to blow another one?"

The man shook his head again and again, indicating that he did not dare. Xiao Jinyan said, "In my opinion, these wolves haven't eaten for a few days, let me ask you to answer, if you can't hear the answer I want, don't blame me for being rude, understand?"

The man nodded.

"You're from the Temple of the Beasts?"

The man nodded.

"What's your name?"

The man's mouth was hesitant, Xiao Jinyan slapped him on the back of the neck, the man spit out the snowball, retched a few times, and hit the tip of his tongue, "I...... I...... I...... No...... A few dishes. ”

Xiao Jinyan saw that he was not honest and wanted to stuff snowballs again, but the man suffered and said, "I don't know!"

"I don't even know the name, it seems that it's useless to keep you. ”

The man's head shook like a rattle, and he said with a bitter face: "I, surnamed Bu, with a few names, is a beast taming guard under the Sect Master of the Beast Taming Palace. ”

Emperor, monarch, guard, husband, apprentice, are the level in the door of the beast taming hall, this person is the beast taming guard, and he can also be regarded as an intermediate person in the beast taming hall.

Li Desert walked over and asked directly, "Who ordered you to assassinate Chu Jun?"

Step a few said, "I can't say it." ”

Xiao Jinyan looked him up and down, "You're like this now, what else can't you say?"

"The person who asked me to assassinate me is my second uncle, called Bu Neng. ”

"You're not honest. ”

"Step is honestly my third uncle. ”

Li Desert frowned, stepped forward and pinched his nostrils, took a few breathless steps, stretched out his tongue, the cold light flashed, and the soft sword slashed his tongue off.

After a few steps, he screamed in pain, and the blood flowed from his mouth, Li Desert stuffed a ball of snow into his mouth, and it took a long time to stop the bleeding.

"I'll give you another chance. Li Desert said, "Who supported you?"

Xiao Jinyan said, "His tongue is gone, what do you expect him to say?"

Li Desert spit out and shattered the snowball, "Write it out!"

Step a few times and shake your head, indicating that you can't write. Li Desert expressed regret, and with a sword in his hand, he cut his throat, rolled on the ground in pain, and let out a scream.

This group of snow wolves is brutal, and they have been tortured by animal trainers all kinds over the years, and they have formed a conditioned reflex, and when they heard this cry, they pounced on him, and in a few moments, they tore a few steps to pieces, and they couldn't die anymore.

Li Desert said to the wolves, "Let's all disperse." ”

Snowwolves seemed to understand human language, and dispersed and disappeared into the snowy forest. At this time, he said goodbye to Chu on the boulder, "Chen Li Desert is late to save the car, and I hope Your Majesty will punish him!"

Chu Bei was shocked after this catastrophe, and said in a trembling voice, "Li Qing...... Exempt...... Excuse me. Several shadow guards led him off the boulder.

Xiao Jinyan said, "Second...... Your Majesty!"

Chu Bieli saw Xiao Jinyan, took his hand, and said, "Call me second brother." As soon as this sentence came out, not only the shadow guard, but even Li Sha

The Mo and Ali brothers were also very surprised.

Chu Bieli explained, "This Brother Xiao was my friend when I was in Jiangnan, and I will be greatly rewarded for your great achievements today!"

Li Desert's expression was indifferent, but Buda said excitedly, "Can you reward an official for doing it?"

"I seal your four-rank guards with knives. ”

Chu Bieli glanced at Li Desert again, "If I remember correctly, you should be the consul of the Kubang Guild, in a few days, you will marry King Chengxian, and the relationship between me and King Breguet, I think you also know, Li Qing's family, what reward do you want?"

"Li Desert is the minister of Chu, and it is his duty to be loyal to the Great Chu. However, if His Majesty really wants a reward, the desert wants to ask for a chance. ”

"What chance?"

"Whatever happens in the future, please ask Your Majesty to pardon the Kupang people once. ”

Chu Bieli thought for a moment and said slowly, "I promise you." ”

Xiao Jinyan understood that Li Desert was not really loyal to King Breguet, and he would not really be loyal to Chu Bieli, he was an opportunist. Now that the contradiction between Chu Bieli and King Breguet is prominent, the two tigers are fighting, there will be an injury, since the Kupang clan where Li Desert is located has taken refuge in King Breguet, if Breguet fails in the future, the Kupang clan will inevitably be implicated, what he did today is to leave a way back for himself and the clansmen.

Thinking of what he overheard last night, Xiao Jinyan even wondered if this assassination and rescue was a conspiracy directed and acted by Li Desert?

After this catastrophe, there was no point in continuing the hunt. A group of people escorted Chu Bieli back to Shuquan Palace, the surrounding scene was positive, here is a barren mountain, before the hurried escape, panicked, everyone walked for half an hour, found that they were back in place!

Lost?

Xiao Jinyan was suspicious in his heart, could it be that someone had done something here? He didn't know about the art of Qimen Dunjia, but he had heard of this skill. If that's the case, I'm afraid it's going to be difficult.

Burst!

Above the forest, the sound of snow sliding can be heard.

Xiao Jinyan released the string force, and was suddenly shocked, "There is an ambush!"

A trumpet sounded, and on the top of the mountain, countless people wearing armor appeared densely, the leader of the people, the leader of the people, wearing loose black robes and wearing a mask.

Chu Bieli recognized the other party's armor and said in astonishment, "Forbidden Army?"

He shouted at the other party, "Is General Ziguang here?"

The other party did not answer, and responded to his rain of arrows.

Xiao Jinyan shouted, "Be careful. Hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Chu Bieli away, and more than ten arrows shot at the place where he stood, and the arrows sank into the ground, and the arrow feathers trembled.

Xiao Jinyan secretly shouted that he was unlucky, only to get out of the wolves, and faced the attack of the forbidden army, this Chu Beili emperor is really aggrieved, and he is calculated by his own people everywhere.

The black-robed man gave an order, and arrows rained down.

There was a huge rock to hide not far away, Xiao Jinyan didn't have time to think about it, and brought Chu Bieli into the cave, and Li Desert and others also followed.

Li Desert said, "Your Majesty, the forbidden army has rebelled!"

Chu Bei sighed with emotion, Ziguang, the leader of the forbidden army, was his henchman who was single-handedly raised after seizing power, and he was also his childhood playmate, and even he betrayed himself, which shows the cleverness of King Breguet's methods, and he can't help but feel like he is betraying his relatives.

Seeing that they had escaped from range, the rebels descended the mountain one after another, lined up in formation, and approached this side step by step, Buda said, "Damn, Lao Tzu fought with them!"

Li Desert said, "The enemy is outnumbered, if we fight hard, we will not be able to facilitate it." Speaking of this, Li Desert suddenly pulled out his soft sword and stabbed it behind Chu Beili.

Burst!

A sword stabbed a shadow guard behind him.

At this moment, with a loud bang, the dagger in the hand of the shadow guard fell at Chu Bieli's feet. The guard was bleeding from his chest and died instantly.

If Li Desert hadn't discovered it in time, I'm afraid that another Great Chu Emperor would have died.

Chu Bieli's face turned pale, "Even you want to betray me?"

The other three shadows knelt down in a row, "Don't dare!"

Li Desert said, "Just now I found out that this person has something in his arms and has been looking for an opportunity to assassinate His Majesty, so I left a thought." ”

Chu Beili said, "Very good, you saved my life again! ”

Li Desert said, "Your Majesty has already rewarded it." He added, "Your Majesty, while the rebel formation has not yet been formed, the minister thinks that he will break through as soon as possible, otherwise once we are closed, we will only be able to wait to be captured." Brother Xiao, Your Majesty's safety, please!"

Chu Bieli asked, "What does Li Qing want?"

Li Desert said, "Without further ado, break through!" Before everyone could react, they saw him holding a soft sword and rushing towards the rebels.

Seeing this, Xiao Jinyan said to the rest of the people, "Set up a formation and escort Your Majesty away." ”

Li Desert's sword was like a dragon, rampage among the rebels, and for a while, the sword light came, blood was like rain, splashing everywhere.

Among the rebels, there are several masters, trapped Li Desert, the rest of the people continue to pursue, Li Desert rushed left and right, never able to break through, seeing that everyone has rushed towards Chu Bieli and others, Li Desert shouted, a sword swing, chopping down a pine tree, suddenly luck, embracing the pine tree, blocking everyone's way.

Li Desert shouted, "Hurry up!"

Xiao Jinyan didn't dare to stay, and fled along the valley to the other side with Chu Bieli, and several people who rushed in front were killed by him, and as soon as he delayed, more than a dozen people stopped in front of him.

"Protect Your Majesty!"

Li Desert hugged the pine tree, rushed over, and with all his strength, pushed everyone to fall under the cliff, and in the valley, there was a wail.

Seeing this, Ali and Buda's eyes were red, "Guoyan!"

Xiao Jinyan didn't expect that Li Desert would use this way of ending up together to open a bloody path for Chu Bieli and everyone, could he blame him wrong?

He didn't think much about it, he held Chu Beili with one hand, and rushed out of the encirclement with the rest of the people, leaving the rebels behind.

……

When Li Desert and the rebels fell into the cliff, he suddenly shot a hook in his hand, hanging an ancient pine on the cliff, and then, with light skills, he slid down the valley floor along the rugged terrain.

At the bottom of the valley, King Chengxian was wearing armor and riding on a white horse, and when he saw Li Desert coming down, he smiled and said, "Commander Li, it's hard work!"

Li Desert said, "The prince is clever, I'm afraid that the prince of Breguet didn't expect it." ”

There is also a general who is scolding, it is the leader of the forbidden army, Ziguang, he was ordered to wait in the mountains, and suddenly someone reported that His Majesty was assassinated and led the army into the mountain, but he fell into someone else's way and was tied here.

"Rebel ministers and thieves must not die well!"

King Chengxian coughed a few times and said, "Rebel ministers and thieves, Ziguang, you have been loyal for three generations, and you have served the royal family for generations, which can be described as loyal, but Mingzhu secretly invested, after today, I am afraid that your Ziguang clan will be cut off!"

Ziguang's face turned purple, and he scolded angrily, "Your Majesty treats you well, and will make you the prince, so you use this means to repay Your Majesty?"

King Chengxian's face was gloomy, and he said coldly, "I'm afraid that Chu Bieli never really wanted to make me the crown prince, right?

Ziguang said in a trembling voice, "You know everything?"

King Chengxian snorted twice, "I don't just know that this Longshan Villa is the property of this king, and from the first day you bought it, everything you did was under my eyelids, I'm afraid you didn't expect it." Today, everyone knows that it was your Ziguang's forbidden army that rebelled and assassinated His Majesty, and you couldn't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River. ”

"What you did today, does Lord Breguet know?"

King Chengxian laughed, "My father is good at everything, but he is too timid. He has military power in his hands, but he has always been in the way of his feelings, and he does not dare to attack Chu Bieli, but fortunately, he has borne all the notoriety for this king, saving a lot of trouble. ”

At this time, Ziguang's heart was like ashes, he never thought that this sick man, who had been overwhelmed by King Breguet for a long time, and didn't even dare to take a breath in front of King Breguet, was so scheming, he also knew that the matter had come to this point, and he had completely confirmed the notoriety of treason and murder.

"I have a request. ”

"The general, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

"Because of these things, I am responsible for the crime alone, and I ask the general to spare my family. ”

King Chengxian took a piece of paper from his bosom and threw it in front of him, "This confession, do you draw it directly, or will I read it to you first?"

Ziguang picked up the paper, only read a few words, and was so angry that he tore it to pieces. King Chengxian said, "Don't lose your temper." Luckily, I got one!"

He took out another one and placed it in front of Ziguang, "You have to think about it." With that, he waved his hand, and his subordinates escorted a man and a woman to him, and when the two saw Ziguang, they exclaimed, "Father!"

It is Ziguang's son and daughter.

"Chu Xian, you brute!"

King Chengxian said, "Your son is seven years old, your daughter is nine years old, I can only keep one alive, which one do you want to choose?"

The two children were terrified and cried out loudly, "Father, I don't want to die." Father, help me!"

Ziguang said, "I'll write!" With that, he picked up the confession, bit his finger, and wrote his name.

King Chengxian smiled.

"I've confessed my guilt, you let my child go!"

King Chengxian said to his subordinates, "Kill...... Kill...... Ahem......"

The subordinate got the order and cut the throats of the two with knives.

King Chengxian said, "I originally wanted to say...... You can't kill it, it seems that when you encounter stupid subordinates, it's easy to do the wrong thing. ”

Ziguang roared in his eyes, rushed towards King Chengxian, opened his mouth and bit his neck, King Chengxian flashed, dodged, and a subordinate stabbed a dagger into Ziguang's chest.

After disposing of the body, Chu Xian asked, "Where is my father?"

The subordinate said, "In the palace, discuss with the civil and military officials and discuss the matter of letting His Majesty take the throne." ”

Chu Xian sighed, "He has lived a long time, but after all, he still can't understand that the imperial power was piled up with butcher knives, blood and conspiracy, not at a meeting. Until now, he hasn't figured out how my third uncle Chu Qiu died. ”

King Breguet didn't understand, but Li Desert did.

A year ago, it was this sick man who toasted a glass of wine to the previous emperor during a palace banquet, and three days later, the news of Chu Qiu's violent death came from the palace.

Because of this, Li Desert tried his best to facilitate the marriage between the Kubang clan and King Chengxian, thus giving the Kupang clan a chance to turn over.

Fierce tigers, easy to watch out for.

The venomous snake that hides in the corner, waiting for the opportunity to bite you, is the real danger.

Li Desert glanced up at the sky, it was almost evening, and the hunting ceremony was about to end, and the teams competing in this paddock were almost time to return.

King Chengxian asked, "How is the situation on the mountain?"

The subordinate said, "Your Majesty...... Chu Bieli and the man surnamed Xiao have fled into the Valley of Death, and are now trapped in it by the two thousand forbidden troops we pretended to be. ”

King Chengxian said, "It's time to send our people to clear the field." Don't leave a mouth alive!"

"What about our people?"

King Chengxian said, "Do you need to say these words a second time?"

The man was resigned and took the command.

King Chengxian turned over and said, "Go back to the palace and report to my father that the commander of the forbidden army, Ziguang, has treasoned and His Majesty has died." ”
