Chapter 299: Shocking Conspiracy (4)
For some reason, after hearing this answer, Yu Zhishi breathed a sigh of relief.
Orchid continued: "People like us are discriminated against everywhere they go. But my brother is very strong, and whoever dares to look down on him, he will definitely go to someone to fight, and he will not stop bleeding. It is the soft that is afraid of the hard, and the hard is afraid of death. After a while, the people on this street knew how good he was, and they didn't dare to laugh at us to our faces. Yu said: "It seems that your brother really loves you." Orchid shook her head: "No." The characteristics of the demon race in my brother are very obvious. He is paranoid, violent, and refuses to be wronged. Sometimes when he was bullied, he would get up in the middle of the night and sit in a dark room to sharpen his knife...... The sound was almost terrifying. But objectively speaking, he still protected me, and I am grateful to him. ”
"Where did he go?" asked Yu Qishi. Orchid sighed: "I don't know when he got acquainted with a group of fox friends. Those people don't think about how to make money to support their families, but they talk about killing people and selling goods all day long. My brother longs for that kind of life, and he always looks envious when he says it. As he got closer to those people, my brother's words became more and more dangerous......"
"What did he say?"
"Hmm...... For example, he told me that the half-immortal and half-demon are the most noble bloodlines, and the rest are inferior races that will be eliminated sooner or later. There are many people like us, as long as everyone unites, not to mention occupying the Black Cloud Mansion, even occupying the Heavenly Court is just around the corner. Yu was dumbfounded: "This ...... Isn't this a rebellion?" Orchid nodded: "I had the same reaction as you when I first heard him say. I said, 'Brother, don't do it!' but he didn't listen to the persuasion at all, but thought that I was a woman. Suddenly, one day, he disappeared. Yu asked, "Then do you know where he went?"
"I didn't know at the time. He later wrote only a rough idea. I guess it's to the west of the Black Cloud. Two months ago, I received his last letter. Hu Ji stood up, went to the room, took out a piece of letterhead, and gave it to Yu Qishi.
It reads crookedly: "Orchid, my sister: I will give my life for a noble cause and will not return." You have to take care. Yu put down the letterhead, and Hu Ji took out something and put it in front of him.
At this glance, he was shocked and couldn't help it
"Ahh That's a poor scale, too.
"Where did this come from?" asked Yu Zhishi nervously.
"I received it with the letter. Yu gave things a careful comparison of the two scales, and the color and size were almost identical.
The logic lies in the fact that it is slowly established in the mind of the matter, could it be that Hu Ji's brother has nothing to do with the case he is investigating?
Seeing that he was looking seriously, Orchid continued: "At first I didn't know what it was. But I kept an eye on it and didn't show it to anyone else. Later, I learned that it was a poor scale, and it was something of great value. Just sell one piece to feed the whole family. Yu was stunned: "You actually didn't sell it?" Hu Ji smiled bitterly: "Although I am short of money, I am not stupid." My brother is in the business of killing heads, this thing is not bad if it doesn't cause me trouble, how dare you sell it for any money?" Yu nodded approvingly, just
With the quality of "not being greedy", Orchid is already better than the vast majority of people in this world. Yu Zhishi tilted his head sideways and thought about it, and suddenly said, "Good girl, are you willing to do something with me?"
"What's the matter?" asked Orchid, confused.
"Investigate the case. ”
"But I'm ...... I don't know how to investigate cases. ”
"No, you're smart enough to help me. And in doing so, you may be able to save your brother, and many others like you. Would you like to?" Hearing this, Orchid took a deep breath, then nodded, "Okay, I do." What are we going to do?" Yu said after a moment of thought, "The first step is to find the location of those people. Do you have any clues other than knowing that they are in the west?" Hu Ji frowned and pondered, and suddenly patted his head after a while: "By the way, my brother once said that hundreds of them have trained in a cloud mountain. I think there's only one place where so many people can hide: Beiyanling. Yu nodded and said, "Let's go over there." With that, the two of them sorted out their things.
Yu wiped the jade dagger, and Hu Ji pinned more than a dozen flying knives to his body. They arranged the children and set off side by side.
The geese fly south on the North Wild Goose Ridge. In autumn and winter, flocks of geese will always fly by here, making a bitter chirping that breaks the hearts of those who hear it.
Hence the name of Beiyanling. Orchids knew how to distinguish between tracks, and actually found a path from the miscellaneous footprints.
The two of them walked forward along the sheep's intestine-like road for a long time, when suddenly they heard a cold voice shouting, "Stop!" Yu looked around but there was no one in sight, and Orchid pinched his arm and pointed to the treetops.
I saw a man crouching on it, but if you didn't look closely, you would think he was part of a tree.
"What for?" the man asked. Orchid raised her face: "See clearly, I am the same as you, I will join you!" The man in the tree was indifferent, still indifferent, and asked indifferently, "What are you doing?" at the same time raised a crossbow.
Yu gave things an idea, stepped forward and said, "Slow." Then he felt the scales from his body and shook them in front of the man's eyes.
The sentry put away his weapon and became one with the tree again. Hu Ji asked in a low voice, "How do you know that this thing is easy to use?" Yu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and replied, "Guess ......" But this poor scale is really like a pass, allowing the two of them to flow unimpeded.
As they entered the depths of the mountains, they saw a huge stone monument lying on the side of the road like a city gate, engraved with small seals like heavenly books.
It was surrounded by vines, and only the faint golden letters at the bottom seemed to speak of the glory of the past.
Yu was attracted by the stone tablet, stopped and read it carefully. Orchid asked, "Do you know this kind of writing?"
"Hmm......" Yu nodded his head, his gaze still on the inscription. After a while, he sighed: "I finally know why they chose this place as their lair......" Before the words fell, a person walked slowly.
Behind him flashed the unique treasure light of the gods, but his face was extremely vicious. Yu Zhishi realized that this person was also a mixed race.
The man looked at them and said, "You don't belong here, why did you come here?" Hu Ji stepped forward, showed the poor scales and said, "We have this!" The visitor smiled: "The poor scales will only be awarded to the best warriors, are you so powerful?" Hu Ji was shocked, knowing that the matter was revealed, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Listen, we have no ill intentions. I'm just trying to get my brother back. He's just an ordinary person, and whether he has him or not doesn't have much impact on your career. But if he were to be sent home, he would be able to take care of a dozen younger siblings—all of whom were of mixed race like us. You guys...... Be merciful. The man choked in his throat and asked, "A dozen half-breed kids?" Orchid nodded, "That's right." The man seemed to be moved, and after a moment of silence asked, "What's your brother's name?" Orchid was overjoyed and blurted out, "Huma, do you know him?" The man was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed.
The more he laughed, the harder he became, and he even leaned back and forth. Yu Qishi quietly grabbed Hu Ji's arm and dragged her back.
Because he noticed that this man covered his mouth with the sleeve of his robe and took a pill. Hu Ji was puzzled and asked anxiously, "Hey, what are you laughing at, what's wrong with him?" The man wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said breathlessly, "I'm sorry...... Huma, huh? Don't look for him, just treat him as dead. This news was like a bolt from the blue to Orchid, her eyes went dark, and she said in a trembling voice: "You...... Tell me clearly, what does it mean when he is dead?" the man looked cautious before that, and said loudly, "Your brother Huma has decided to give his life for our sacred cause. It was a noble request, and the chief had granted him. His body may be reduced to ashes in the flames, but his spirit can inspire us to fight. Believe me, whether it is the hypocritical heavenly court or the cold hell, they will tremble with our power. The future is of the half-blood!" He said impassionedly, foaming at the mouth, but he could hear the matter coldly, "Fart." The passionate speech came to an abrupt end, and the man stared at Yu Zhishi viciously and said, "Good boy, there is a kind of saying it again!" Yu Zhishi snorted contemptuously and said, "It's the same thing to say a hundred times again." From ancient times to the present, the so-called sacrifice must be made voluntarily, and where is there any reason to force others to die? That is not sacrifice, but murder! Your Excellency's high-sounding statement of murder is not only hypocritical but also disgusting. I said you fart, it's still a lot of beautification!" The man's blood-red pupils almost burned, and he said in an almost roaring voice, "Don't think I don't know your details. You are just a dog in the heavenly court, how dare you be so arrogant!" Yu gave things but ignored him, grabbed Hu Ji with his backhand and said, "Let's go, your brother is fine." If he had died, this guy wouldn't have reacted like this. I'll take you to him. The man said coldly behind him: "I want to leave, but I'm afraid it's not so easy!" Yu Zhishi reacted very quickly, and he was prepared from just now.
I saw that his left hand was shaking, and his right hand took out a jade dagger, and it hit the man's neck with a bang. He could see that this man was a big and small leader, and he would be able to get out of this place safely if he was captured.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he grabbed the man's chest, the man fell limply. Yu was shocked and asked, "Hey, what's wrong with you?" Looking at the man again, the seven orifices were bleeding and he was already dead.
At this time, I remembered the miscellaneous footsteps, and someone shouted: "Two dog thieves killed the priest, don't let them escape!" The two of them said bad at the same time, and ran back the same way.
But I didn't take a few steps before I heard countless people coming. So they could only turn their hearts sideways and flee deeper into the mountains.
Old branches and withered vines grew everywhere, as if a big net was blocking the footsteps of the two. They're getting slower and slower.
Yu Zhishi put his arm around Hu Ji and said, "Don't ...... Don't stop, let's go......" Orchid gasped and couldn't say a word.
Suddenly, the two of them slipped and fell together. Yu Zhishi reached out and touched the ground, and couldn't help but be horrified.
A dark, viscous liquid flows from the ground and exudes an indescribable smell. Yu has always been well-informed and knowledgeable, and immediately reacted, and said in a low voice: "It's fire oil!" He wanted to look around again, and couldn't help but feel creepy.
It turned out to be here
The "stones" were piles of pockets, piled as high as hills, and the pockets leaked out of them with a fine black powder.
It is not difficult to guess that this is a hill made of explosives and fire oil, as long as you see the slightest spark, not to mention the black clouds, even the heavenly court will be blown to pieces.
At this time, the pursuers rushed over with a shout. Yu gave things an idea, felt out the fire sickle, but pulled out the flint and threw it at everyone.
The sharp-eyed people saw this small object with a striking color, and shouted: "It's not good, there is fire!" These people stayed here day and night, and the most fearful thing was the word fire, and they were immediately frightened out of their bodies.
Fortunately, someone was quick and jumped up and grabbed the fire sickle. But in this way, the whole team was in chaos.
Let the two slip away in full view of everyone. They took the opportunity to turn around a col and find a corner to hide.
The footsteps of the pursuers passed by them like thunder. Orchid's heart was beating hard, and she clutched Yu Zhishi's hand tightly.
The pursuers passed, and there was silence in all directions. Orchid finally breathed a sigh of relief and opened her mouth to say something. However, Yu Zhishi covered her mouth tightly.
After another half of the day, I heard someone say, "It seems that they are really not there, let's go." When they were far away, the two of them came out of their hiding place, and Hu Ji whispered: "You are so godly, how do you know that they are not leaving?" Yu Zhishi said: "I have a friend who is very good at solving cases, and he taught me this ability." I'll show you him when I get back." At this moment, the pursuers were far away, and the two turned back the same way without any obstacles.
They didn't dare to stay for a moment, and then took a boat to the Black Cloud Ferry. One more step to leave, but Orchid suddenly became a little hesitant.
"You say, will the people of Heavenly Court also treat me as a monster?" she asked uneasily. Yu nodded and said categorically: "Of course it will." But after saying that, he smiled: "But I never will." Hu Ji did not hesitate any longer, and stepped forward with a hand in his hand.
But seeing the auspicious light and thousands of colors, a round of red sun is erupting. Xihe set up a chariot pulled by six dragons, and galloped in the sky with a fiery red tail.
The gold is the pavilion between the clouds and mist, the white jade is the building, and the morning bell is ringing. Orchid had never seen such a magnificent view, and she was already moved to tears.
"Oh my God, is this world so beautiful?" Yu Qishi gently hugged her shoulder and said, "Whether it is Heavenly Court or Black Cloud Mansion, it is only a part of this world. When you see these sights, don't forget the people who live in the gutter. Tips: Enter "Panda Literature" in the search engine, you can find this site, thank you.
