Chapter 47: The General
After running for a stick of incense, the two came to the northwest compound. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The info compound is brightly lit and has three layers of guards inside and out. Looking closely, there are more than ten hidden piles in the corners of the surrounding corners, which ordinary people can't approach at all.
The two of them crouched on a roof not far away, taking a closer look. According to Kurohime's understanding, Zishi is the time when the guards of the compound change shifts, and there will be a few breath intervals at that time, as long as the speed is fast, you can still rush through.
Time passed slowly, and the two waited patiently. After a while, I saw a large group of people slowly walking from a distance, and it was the guards who had come to change shifts. Soon, the group of men and horses approached, and the guards guarding the courtyard saw that the people were also hurriedly lined up. The two of them saw the opportunity, jumped off the roof, and flew over.
Kurohime's speed was very fast, and after landing, he only saw a black shadow flashing a few times, and the person was gone. Zhao Xinming tried his best, but he was still half a beat slower. Seeing that the guards who had changed shifts were about to be in place, Zhao Xinming's heart tightened, and he flew up, and the person moved three feet in the air, and fell into the courtyard with a "bang". Hei Ji frowned, and pulled Zhao Xinming to quickly change places. After a while, I saw several guards come over and check around before leaving.
"Let's go. Kurohime greeted and sneaked out.
Zhao Xinming struggled to stand up and followed. The rockery is in the middle of the compound, more than 10 zhang high, more than 30 zhang long. There are several pavilions built on the mountain, and each pavilion is guarded, and there are almost no dead ends.
The two looked at each other for a while, and Hei Ji patted Xinming's back, pointed to a corner under the rockery, and said softly: "Little brother, do you see there? ”
Zhao Xinming nodded, looked at a few guards on the mountain, and asked in a deep voice, "Hei Ji, what about these guards?"
"I'll lure them away in a moment, and the rest is up to you. While speaking, Hei Ji took out a pair of gloves as thin as cicada wings and stuffed them into Zhao Xinming's hand, and said softly, "You can put away this pair of gloves, and use them after you go in, it can be anti-poison." After saying that, Kurohime flew up and flashed in front of the rockery.
"Who?" shouted the guards in the pavilion and rushed out.
Zhao Xinming saw the opportunity and quickly ran to the corner under the rockery. Looking up, a large stone one man high was sandwiched between two mountain crevices. According to Kurohime, this boulder is the entrance to the underground storehouse. Zhao Xinming touched the crack in the stone, glanced left and right, and pushed forward with his internal strength. The boulder slowly moved a gap, and Zhao Xinming dodged through.
Behind the boulder is a long and narrow passage, Zhao Xinming took out a fire fold and took a photo, and there was no end in sight. Zhao Xinming took the fire fold and walked forward slowly, only to feel that the passage was inclined all the way forward, getting lower and wider. In the wide area of it lay several corpses. The flesh has long been rotten, and only a few white skeletons remain, judging from the clothing, they are the guards in the Zheng Mansion.
Zhao Xinming took a few steps forward, glanced at it coldly, and continued to walk forward. After a short walk, the passage came to an end, and a bumpy stone wall stood in front of it. Zhao Xinming held the fire fold and looked at it carefully, the stone wall was one zhang high, half a zhang wide, and I don't know how thick it was. I pushed it, but I didn't move.
Zhao Xinming's luck was strong, and he pushed hard, but there was still no movement. Zhao Xinming thought about it, touched it in front of the stone wall for a while, and soon found that a protruding stone could move. Zhao Xinming looked at the stone, didn't dare to move, looked up, and found that there were several small holes above the top of his head on the left and right. According to Hei Ji, Zheng Renxing is extremely cautious, and all the organs set up have two switches, one bright and one dark, if you press the wrong switch, what comes out is either a dark arrow or poisonous gas!
Zhao Xinming rested for a moment and continued to touch around. It took a long time to stick incense, and finally found another switch on the side of the passage. Zhao Xinming checked the surroundings again, but found no abnormality, so he pressed down. I only heard a "boom", and the stone wall in front of me slowly descended. Zhao Xinming breathed a sigh of relief and continued to walk forward.
After passing the stone wall, it is a long passage, about ten zhang walking, and the front suddenly opens up. Zhao Xinming raised the fire fold and took a photo, it was the underground warehouse in Hei Ji's mouth. Zhao Xinming took a few steps forward and was about to light the brazier around him, when he heard a majestic voice say, "Hei Ji, are you here?"
Zhao Xinming was shocked in his heart, hurriedly extinguished the fire fold in his hand, and shouted: "Who?"
"It turned out not Kurohime. In the darkness, the majestic voice sounded again.
A few fires followed, and the braziers around the storeroom were lit. Zhao Xinming looked up, and there was an old man sitting 5 or 6 zhang in front of him, squinting at himself. Zhao Xinming glanced at the old man, and quickly looked at this underground warehouse, which was about 10 zhang long and wide, and about 3 zhang high, with fifty or sixty wooden boxes stacked around it, and nothing else.
"Are you Zhao Xinming?" the old man looked at for a while and asked suspiciously.
"Yes. Zhao Xinming agreed and asked loudly, "Who are you?"
"Hehe, the old man Zheng Renxing is the general of Qingzhou soldiers and horses. The old man smiled and continued, "I thought it was Kurohime who came, but I didn't expect to wait for you. ”
"Are you Zheng Renxing?" Zhao Xinming couldn't help but ask again.
"If you are in retreat, the old man has been in retreat for three months, and he has finally taken this step. The old man sneered, and then said, "The one outside is just an imposter arranged by the old man, and the ridiculous black Ji is self-righteous, and he is not being played by the old man between applause." ”
"It can't be. Zhao Xinming shook his head.
"That's the case, but the old man didn't expect Hei Ji to find a substitute for the dead ghost. The old man shook his head, and then said, "Zhao Xinming, why are you here?"
Zhao Xinming was silent, and the old man said again: "Zhao Xinming, speaking of which, the old man also owes your Zhao family a favor." If you answer the old man's questions honestly, the old man will definitely give you an explanation. ”
"Favors, Zheng Renxing, what do you mean? Zhao Xinming said.
"It's a long story. Zheng Renxing said slowly, "More than a year ago, Lord Zhou dug up a 'dragon vein' near your ancestral house and reported it to the imperial court. At the same time, Lord Zhou also sent a letter to the old man, persuading the old man to make a decision as soon as possible. The old man thought about it for a long time and finally decided to be loyal to our emperor. So, the old man got a chance to use the 'dragon vein' of your ancestral house to cleanse his body and improve his skills, and then he stepped into the realm of 'Waigang' in one fell swoop. ”
Speaking of which, Zheng Renxing used his skills, and a faint brilliance flowed through his body, which was the "flower blooming" realm in Waigang. Zhao Xinming was shocked in his heart, and secretly retreated backwards, only to hear a "boom", and the stone wall behind him had been closed.
"Zhao Xinming, Lord Zhou has mentioned you many times in front of me, and he is even more afraid of you. I am deeply favored by the country, and I have a lot of support from Lord Zhou, and I will never let you go today. Zheng Renxing sneered and asked again, "Zhao Xinming, why are you here?"
Zhao Xinming's mind turned sharply, knowing that he would not be spared today, he thought for a while, and said truthfully: "General Zheng, I am only here for the alliance agreement you signed with the Blood God Sect. ”
Zheng Renxing pondered for a moment, sighed and said: "I see, it's all a good calculation!" Zhao Xinming, if you don't understand anything, hurry up and ask, the old man's patience is limited. ”
Zhao Xinming nodded and asked loudly, "General Zheng, who is that Lord Zhou, and how is his cultivation now?"
"What, you still don't give up?" Zheng Renxing sneered and continued, "Okay, I'll tell you and let you die clearly." Lord Zhou's name is Zhou Jin, and he is a distant relative of today's saint, and the official worships Taiwei. After resigning two years ago, he specially searched for dragon veins in various places for the Holy Lord to eliminate potential threats. Now Lord Zhou is also a heavy cultivator, Zhao Xinming, are you satisfied?"
As soon as the words fell, Zhao Xinming felt that a whirlwind suddenly blew in front of him, and a figure pounced on him!
