It's an eye-catcher. Winters in the south are not cold, and the cold air blowing from the north is blocked by the Dangluo Mountains, making the climate in the south warm and humid. The snow that fell a few days ago has long since disappeared from the sunlight for several days.

Li Changfeng is thirsty!

The water was everywhere, but it was soaked in rotting aquatic plants, and from time to time some smelly bubbles were bulging, rats, snakes, and ants were scurrying in and out of the grass, and all sorts of unknown little insects were sliding quickly in the water, and no one was busy with their lives. This is the Black Mountain Marsh, a place of dead silence but full of life.

There is no wind, but the fog is very large, it is the warm sunlight that evaporates the water vapor, and a thick layer spreads out, blocking people's vision, and at a glance, you can only see things ten feet away at most.

In winter, the cold air sinks, so that the swamp miasma cannot rise, so the fog in the air is non-toxic, and the analysis of the intelligent system allows Li Changfeng to breathe in with confidence and inhale the moist air into his lungs. His tongue felt a chill and licked his lips, and he sighed contentedly as he retracted into the grass and hid himself. In the distance, a faint human voice was heard......

The swamp is terrifying because of its poisonous miasma and ubiquitous mud mire, which can silently kill people. But this is not the case in the Black Mountain swamp - there are roads here, as long as they can be stepped on hard ground, they can be called roads, be careful, the swamp mud can always be avoided, so it can also be said that there are countless roads here, and in winter, the miasma is no longer a threat.

The most terrifying thing about the Black Mountain swamp is the countless swamp predators entrenched in it. The body of an adult swamp predator is as long as two feet, and the strength of such a behemoth is very terrifying. It is highly skilled in camouflage, lurking in mud and pools, waiting for its prey to come to its door......

When the intelligent system alerted Li Changfeng that there was danger ahead, he stared and looked around, only to barely see that the rotten wood turned out to be the mouth of a swamp predator, about three feet ahead, where the pestle was there, motionless.

Li Changfeng looked at the predator, and his heart moved: What a good place! If you want to chase after you, then I will start to fight back from here, just to get something to eat and drink!

...... The sound gradually approached, and in the churning mist, three people walked over, one in front and two behind, dressed in black, with a white belt around their waists, and a big sword in their hands unsheathed, with a cautious look. A man in front of him was holding a wooden stick, and from time to time he stuck it in the ground, apparently to find a way.

"Be careful, there's a muddy puddle here, look at the rotten wood that's half sunk into it!"

The pathfinder greeted him, and flicked the stick in his hand towards the rotten log......

Suddenly, a mutation abruptly appeared. The surface of the stagnant water in the low-lying part of the swamp shook slightly, and then a violent "whoosh" of rotting silt made a muffled sound, and a huge black shadow rose into the sky, mixed with a foul smell and rushed to the black-clothed man like lightning, biting his thigh.

"Ah...... Help, help me!"

The man in black was shocked, the wooden stick and big sword in his hand fell to the ground, let out a terrible scream, and his palms frantically slapped towards the predator's head. But this did no harm to the predator, who bit the man in black and dragged him into the mud.

"Quick, save people......"

Among the two people in the rear, the one on the left shouted loudly, raised the big sword in his hand, and rushed towards the predator. Although the predator's strength was huge, his body was not flexible, and the man rushed to the predator's side with a shout, raised his big sword and slashed at the crocodile's head.

"Bang ......"

There was a muffled sound, the sound of slashing the leather came, it was like slashing on the rubber, the big sword flicked high, and the man was forced back by the recoil force, but only a white mark was cut on the crocodile's head.

The predator was attacked, although it did not break the defense, the head was also in severe pain, and under the stimulation, the mouth was tightly bitten, and the long crocodile body rolled violently, rolling on the ground for two consecutive laps. The screams of the man in black who were bitten suddenly became louder, and then he fell low, and after two laps, the sound gradually disappeared, leaving only a large amount of blood splashed everywhere.

The predator bit the man in black in his mouth, and his huge body crawled slowly, his head aimed at the man in black holding the sword, and his eyes looked at him coldly.

"Yan Er was stunned, ...... quickly Come and help!"

The man in black with the sword stared at the predator deadly, grasped the big sword with both hands, slowly retreated with his steps, and nervously beckoned his companion behind him to help.

There was no sound behind him, and no one responded to him at all. He turned around a little annoyed, but saw that there was nothing behind him, and there was no ghost, so he was stunned......

"...... Uproar"

The predator seized the opportunity, and his huge body rolled up with a wind sound, and rushed forward like lightning, his big mouth open, and his teeth were still hung with minced meat, emitting a fishy smell.

The black-clothed footsteps retreated sharply, and the big sword in his hand waved wildly to force the predator back. At this moment, he suddenly felt a pain in his heart, looked down, and only saw a sword tip piercing out of his heart, and his body couldn't help but be stunned, the predator's fishy mouth was enlarged in front of his eyes, and then his eyes were dark, and everything was far away......

Li Changfeng stood up from the grass four or five feet away, and a black-clothed man who had been knocked out lay at his feet. It was he who threw his sword and attacked him just now, causing the man in black to die in a daze. He watched coldly as the predator dragged the food back into the mud, slowly sinking into the mud and bursting into a string of blisters.

All is at peace.

......

A two-handed sword, a water bladder, a skin bag for food, a sentry, a copper coin and some loose silver, and a twine the thickness of a little finger were tied to the man in black who was lying on the ground beside him. These are all the gains of Li Changfeng's adventure ambush.

"You're awake......"

Filling a sip of water with a water bladder in his left hand and taking a bite of the dry noodle cake in his right hand, Li Changfeng squinted his eyes comfortably.

"You...... Who are you?"

The man in black squirmed and sat up with difficulty.

"You must know me, I guess. ”

Turning around, he smiled at the man in black.

Man in Black: "You...... What do you want to do?"

Li Changfeng: "You guess?"

Man in Black: "......"

Li Changfeng raised three fingers and said, "Three questions, there is a prize for answering them correctly." ”

The man in black swallowed his saliva and whispered, "I...... I don't know anything. ”

Li Changfeng ignored him and said to himself: "If you say it, I will kill you, and if you don't say it, I will not kill you." ”

The man in black's eyes lit up, and said loudly: "Life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, death is death, I won't say anything." ”

Li Changfeng looked at him meaningfully, and said leisurely: "Life in the swamp is bitter, those rats, poisonous snakes, small insects, and so on, are often hungry and full! You say, if I tie you here, and open a few openings on your body to let some blood out, those things smell and come over, and they will burrow into your body, drink blood, and eat meat with a big mouth...... Will they swell themselves to death with excitement?!"

The man in black trembled when he heard this, and said in a wailing voice, "No...... You can't ask for this, don't ...... Don't do that!"

Li Changfeng raised three fingers, his face was expressionless, and said, "Three questions!" Don't say, a painful death, you choose. ”

The man in black was silent, and after a while, he said with difficulty: "You ask." ”

"Who are you?"

"The capital, the second prince's mansion. ”

"How many of you are there?"

"Red Belt Guard, five. White Belt Guard, thirty. ”

"Who's in charge?"

"Yao Qingshan. ”

......

Beijing, Lin'an.

Shuoyang Palace, in the imperial study of the Chinese Palace. Emperor Gu Shihong sat on the imperial chair with a brocade quilt, and on the desk in front of him, one side was full of neatly stacked folds, and in the middle, there was a spread out fold. Gu Shihong pressed one palm on the fold, and covered his lips with a brocade in the other hand, coughing violently, and his face turned red with the sound of coughing.

Prime Minister Lu Zhengguan stood aside, and when he saw this, he leaned over and handed over the teacup on the desk, and said softly: "Your Majesty, take care of the dragon's body!"

When he stopped coughing and covered his lips, he took it away, and a red and shocking blood flower bloomed on the snow-white brocade. Gu Shihong quietly put the Jin Pana into his sleeve, took the teacup handed over by Lu Zhengguan and took a sip, clicked on the excerpt on the table and said: "Yao Ding's excerpt, saying that there is no such thing......

Putting the teacup on the table, his voice suddenly became high-pitched: "There is no such thing, the blood of dozens of people has splashed the earth, dozens of people are watching in the sky, and dozens of people are dying." Is this my minister, is this my loyal minister? When I am an idiot or a fool, I don't even bother to find a reason, and I want to erase everything in a daze. ”

The fold fell on the face of Lu Zhengguan, who had already knelt on the ground, Lu Zhengguan's face did not move, he picked it up, took a few steps on his knees, put it on the table, and then hung down a white-haired head, allowing the emperor to vent his anger.

Gu Shihong, who scolded angrily, vented a lot of stuffiness in his chest, took a deep breath, looked at the white-haired old minister kneeling in front of the emperor, and couldn't help but apologize, and said: "Xiangguo, I am unhappy in my heart, I have wronged you." Come on, sit down!" The frightened attendant quickly moved the brocade stool and rested it in front of Lu Zhengguan.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Lu Zhengguan got up from the ground with some difficulty, straightened his robe, and sat down sideways on the brocade stool. He was an old minister of the former dynasty, and Gu Shihong had been in the dynasty for more than ten years, and he was the first assistant for eight years. Although the emperor of the previous dynasty was a great achievement, the problem of the dictatorship of the major families could not be solved. Lonely Shihong sat on the throne was the result of the family's wrestling, so the major families controlled the government, the imperial power was declining, and many government decrees disappeared as soon as Lin'an came out, and they were not implemented at all. Lu Zheng watched the battle with trepidation, and barely relied on his prestige among the world's scholars to support the government and maintain the majesty of the royal family, but he wanted to restrict the rampant nature of the family, but he was unable to do so. Seeing that the empire is not as good as a year, I can only worry about it, but I can't help it, and under the exhaustion, my body and bones are not as good as day by day.

"Your Majesty is angry, the matter of the excerpt, Rong Laochen will talk about it later, but there is a matter now: there has been a lot of discussion in the capital recently, and it has been rumored, saying that there is a 'fairy medicine' born, which is in the hands of a certain big man. Such a confidential matter is rumored in the streets, which makes the old minister surprised!"

Gu Shihong suddenly smiled, and continued: "That Mu Qingnong was smart and confused for a while, but this time he lost his wife and broke his soldiers. His third son, Mu Zhenxiong, crossed the border for 500 miles and seized the elixir, but he was intercepted and killed halfway, and the whole army was wiped out, and even Mu Zhenxiong gave his life. What is strange is that the 'elixir' of the person who was intercepted and killed has not yet arrived, and it is snatched away by another person under his nose, and the situation in this situation is really wonderful, and it is amazing! Mu Qingnong not only did not get the medicine, but also lost his beloved son, and in a fit of rage, he announced the news. First, it can confuse the public and divert attention. Second, let the person who grabbed the medicine become the target of the public - I have no benefit, and you don't want to be happy. ”

Lu Zhengguan's eyes widened and he was dumbfounded.

Gu Shihong paused, and then said, "As for the person who grabbed the immortal medicine in the end......

He glanced at Lu Zhengguan meaningfully and said:

“...... According to investigation, Li Changfeng, the son of Li Lin, was assassinated on the way to his post, and his whereabouts are unknown. ”

Lu Zhengguan smiled bitterly and said:

"Your Majesty is suspicious of Li Changfeng, although he has some disagreements with dogs, but the old minister has to say, a gentleman brother, does he have this ability?"

"It's not a suspicion, it's a certainty! My Eagle Guard is still in Mulu Town, and Li Changfeng's six wounded guards are there. ”

After a pause, he suddenly punned on another word:

"There are some things and people that can't just be seen on the surface!"

Lu Zhengguan hesitated for a moment and said:

"Your Majesty, what ...... about this?"

Gu Shihong was silent, his right hand was on the desk, his fingers tapped on the table, making a "tu, tu" sound, he groaned for a long time, he took a breath, seemed to have made up his mind, and said:

"Sangkook, there is one thing that is about my body...... Recently, it has been very bad: headache, general malaise, and coughing up blood in the past few days. The medicine prescribed by the doctor was drunk, and it didn't work much...... Perhaps, the elixir can make me better!"

Lu Zhengguan raised his head sharply, his face full of shock. After a while, he came back to his senses, thought for a while, and said:

"Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon's body. The old minister is going to the 'Defeng Waiting Mansion', and he will definitely let that Li Changfeng offer medicine!"

Shaking his head, Lonely Shihong said:

"Li Changfeng is not so stupid, he has already run away. But if Li Lin knew about it, he would definitely not stand idly by. ”

"Your Majesty, do you want to ......?" Lu Zheng looked hideous, raised his palm and slashed down gently.

Gu Shihong's eyes showed a cold light, his face was yin and yang, and after a long time, he finally sighed and said:

"No need, after all, he is a meritorious man of the empire, just monitor. Remember, you can't let Li Lin send a single soldier to help Li Changfeng!"

Lu Zhengguan stood up, arched his hand, and bowed:

"In accordance with His Majesty's orders, the old minister retires. ”

When Lu Zhengguan retreated, Gu Shihong raised his eyes to look at the west, and whispered in his mouth:

"Danluo Mountains, Black Mountain Marshes!"
