Chapter 6: Bloodstained Paradise
The night in the mountains was already cold, and it rained again, and it was even colder when lying on the ground. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Zongxiu thought about his thoughts, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, I don't know how long it took before he finally fell asleep.
This sleep is rare and sweet, and I slept directly until dawn. When the faint light quietly shone in from the entrance of the cave, Zong Xiucai opened his eyes, but found that he was holding a soft mass, which was very comfortable. After taking a closer look, he realized that it was Zhao Lingxuan's body.
This tent is made of cotton cloth, with a layer of moisture-proof oilcloth sewn on the outside, and the tent is not big, similar to a sleeping bag, so that it will not be too heavy to carry on the body on weekdays. Maybe it was a little cold, Zong Xiu, who was asleep, unconsciously leaned in, and when he woke up, he found that he had hugged Zhao Lingxuan's body tightly through a layer of cloth.
"Anyway, she said that she would marry me in the future, and it didn't matter if she hugged me for one night, not to mention that it was separated by a cloth. Zong Xiu thought so in his heart, but he still got up quickly, lest Zhao Lingxuan wake up and have more trouble.
Sure enough, after Zhao Lingxuan woke up, she kept complaining to Zong Xiu about how bad his tent was, the smell was unpleasant, and something kept pressing on her, making it a little difficult for her to breathe.
Zong Xiu didn't dare to admit that it was herself who was pressing her, but said that if you are not used to it, you will return it to me, but Zhao Lingxuan suddenly refused again.
According to Li Jin's discussion with Zong Ze, everyone accelerated the trip, and it only took two days to reach the imperial tomb, and after taking the treasures accompanying the burial, they immediately diverted to the mountain gate, and the total trip only took about half a month. It's the beginning of September, and the mountain gate will only open in October, so it's too late.
Li Jin said that she had been on the road since she escaped from the imperial city, and did not make unnecessary stops, so the King of Qin had no time to mobilize a large number of people, and a few days ago she was only caught up by the elite scouts of the King of Qin's army, Ying Yangwei, and was killed by Le Zhao and Yue Qingping, and she would definitely not dare to show up again before the follow-up people arrived. So as long as the speed here is fast enough and the time is up against them, there is likely to be no danger in the future.
The next journey also seems to confirm Li Jin's words, the past two days have been smooth, except for a little hurry, it can be regarded as a tour of the mountains and rivers.
Everyone's faces were a little excited, after two days of getting along, this team made up of interests actually had a trace of emotional foundation. Li Jin doesn't have the shelf of the eldest princess at all, and always has questions to answer. The sixth prince Li Xian was even a little timid and afraid, Zhao Shucheng was originally a little resentful of giving up the tent to Li Xian, but later he looked at the weak appearance of the sixth prince.
Zhao Mingde also became rare and pleasant, and in the conversation with Yue Qingping, he knew that there were a lot of profound secrets left in the Tang Palace. It's no wonder that Lejia has not entered the mountain gate for several generations, but Yue Qingping and Le Zhao have still learned a high level of martial arts. During the conversation, Yue Qingping also had the intention of wooing Zhao Mingde.
Zhao Mingde is quite excited about the secrets in the palace, his internal power is transformed from aura, pure and profound, but there is no profound move to match, if you can see the palace collection, I am afraid that it will be difficult to meet opponents among the worldly warriors.
However, Zhao Mingde did not agree, if the old emperor could keep breathing, wait for the eldest princess to return from the cultivation of the six princes, plus the people of the Zong and Zhao families and the Yue Qingping brothers, it should not be particularly difficult to kill a Qin king who has no royal family to worship and protect. If King Qin had already ascended the throne at that time, then everything would be said, maybe the Zong and Zhao families would have to go out to avoid trouble.
When everyone's emotions were high, Zong Xiu's face was heavy, and he couldn't say anything in his heart, which was really uncomfortable. The closer he got to his destination, the more inexplicable uneasiness in Zong Xiu's heart became.
At the end of the stream is a karst cave slightly higher than a person, the water is not deep, and it has just reached the thigh position, Zhao Mingde asked everyone to smear the branches with a layer of pine resin to make torches, and wade through the water by the light of the fire.
In this long karst cave, Zong Xiu finally confirmed where the uneasiness in his heart came from, and his eyebrows began to beat happily again, and the cold breath flowed into it like a stream of water.
You don't need to look to know that what awaits them ahead will be another corpse!
After an hour's trek, we finally reached the end of the cave, and the bright light shone ahead. When everyone came out of the cave, they were presented with a paradise-like valley with green grass, peach trees, a small stream, and a village standing quietly among the fields.
The group's eyes were round, but they were not admiring the beautiful scenery, because on the gentle slope outside the village, there were sharp wooden thorns all over the place, and on the wooden thorns hung were bloody heads.
Li Jin, who had always been calm, actually exclaimed: "How can it all be ...... Is that so?"
Zong Xiu knew that there would be such a situation, but he still couldn't help but squat down with his head in his hands, not because of fright, but because the headache was so bad, he had never encountered hundreds of people dying together, and the center of his eyebrows seemed to be pulled back and forth by an ice saw, squeaking.
Zhao Mingde remained silent, slowly moved to a position close to the stream, suddenly drew his sword and stabbed out, and shouted: "Ghost thing, get out of here!"
The sword aura was fierce, breaking through the stream, a thin figure jumped out, and in a flash, he actually avoided Zhao Mingde's charged blow, but when he landed on the shore, he stood unsteadily, and sat down on the grass, looking like a short, thin and shriveled bad old man, grinning, showing a mouthful of big yellow teeth, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect the eldest princess to have a lot of masters, and she almost killed the old man!"
When Yue Qingping saw this old man, he was surprised: "The four great rain guards of the Yanyu Pavilion, the Hanjiang fishing guards, you actually took refuge in the King of Qin?"
Zong Ze frowned and said, "Smoke and Rain Pavilion?!"
Although Zong Ze didn't recognize this old man like Yue Qingping, since he had broken his name, he still had a little hearing of this No. 1 killer organization in the Tang Kingdom.
Although Yanyu Pavilion first appeared in the Tang Dynasty, its traces spread all over the Tang Dynasty and the Liang, Song and other countries bordering the Tang Dynasty. There are four major rain guards in the cabinet, with profound martial arts and good at assassination, which the magnates of various countries have needs, but are afraid of. And the rumors about the Lord of the Smoke and Rain Pavilion are even more bizarre, no one knows exactly what the Lord of the Smoke and Rain Pavilion looks like, but they describe him as a demon, cruel and murderous, and likes to eat people.
Lejia has been operating in the capital of the Tang Dynasty for several generations, and the old man known as Hanjiang Diaoyu also recognized Yue Qingping and said: "Lejia boy, you are wrong, we are not a ...... to take refuge."
A voice interjected: "Naturally, it's not a refuge, because the Yanyu Pavilion was originally opened by His Royal Highness King Qin!"
Following the prestige, I saw a group of people walking up the hillside in the distance, holding a scimitar in their left hand and a crossbow in their right hand, dressed in a cyan power suit, and wearing leather armor on their chests. There were more than a dozen people in this team, and the first one was in black clothes and black armor, and it was he who made a voice just now. This person, Yue Qingping, also recognized that it was Ji Bu, the right commander of the Ying Yang Wei of the Qin Prince's Mansion!
Hanjiang Diaosu was robbed, but he was a little unhappy, and hurriedly said: "You can't say that, of course the Yanyu Pavilion was opened by our pavilion master, and King Qin just provided the required property." ”
Ji Bu was quite prejudiced against this old man, and said coldly: "Why do you need to be so clear! You should know that we are all doing things for King Qin, don't make a mistake." I said that I would do it in the cave, with the assassination methods of your Yanyu Pavilion, plus the crossbow salvo assisted by my Eagle Yang Guard, I would have told them to sink their bodies in the cave and go back to restore their lives. You just don't want to, and now you're being beaten out of the water, and it tastes good?"
Hanjiang Diaosu didn't buy the account of the right commander of the Qin Wangfu Ying Yang Wei at all, and said: "The old man has itchy skin and can't fight it? The pavilion master has not yet arrived, no one should try to make me do things!"
As he spoke, he turned around and left, and said in a loud voice as he walked: "Kill people who should kill, dig treasures to dig treasures, don't think about going out, the thin monkey and Wu Hook are already busy burying traps in the cave at this time, plus I am staring at the life-killing sword, before the pavilion master comes, none of you can get out!"
Listening to the tone of Hanjiang Diaosuo, the four major rain guards of the Yanyu Pavilion were all here, and according to the meaning of his words, they didn't care about anything now, but no one could get out of this valley, including the prince of Qin's army, Ying Yangwei, and his right commander Ji Bu!
Ji Bu didn't expect Hanjiang Diaosu to ignore King Qin's order, and he was a little stunned for a while. He pointed to the back of Hanjiang Diaosu who was far away, and said hatefully: "Bad old man, when my five hundred eagle guards arrive, I will definitely disembowel you!"
And Hanjiang Diaosu didn't pay attention to it at all, and disappeared after a while.
Zhao Mingde watched this farce from the side, and said loudly at this time: "I didn't expect to see a dog eat dog first, which is a worthwhile trip." ”
Ji Bu secretly calculated the balance of strength between the two sides, his own strength and Yue Qingping were only between the best, and seeing that Zhao Mingde's sword against Hanjiang Diaosuo was definitely not under him. The rest of the people didn't look like mediocre hands, relying on a dozen eagle guards really had no chance of winning, and decided to retreat first and then make plans, and they had already scolded the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of the Yanyu Pavilion in their hearts.
He wants to leave, but others won't let him get his way!
From the conversation between Ji Bu and Hanjiang Diaosuo, it was known that they seemed to be a group of people, but for some reason there was a dirty relationship, Li Jin naturally would not let go of this opportunity, and said loudly: "Don't let people go!"
Without waiting for her to order, Zhao Mingde and Yue Qingping had already made a move, and Zong Ze, Zong Si, Le Zhao, Zhao Mingyi and others made a detour from both sides to prevent someone from escaping. Even Zhao Lingxuan, Zhao Shucheng, and the eldest princess's maid Zhu'er drew their swords and prepared to come forward to fight.
Only the six princes' faces were pale, and Zong Xiu was squatting beside him, hmmmm
