Xiyun can jump on the sentry box, the plank road has sunk into the water, two piranus jumped up, did not bite Xiyun, but fell on the copper-faced thorn vine, looking at the strength is not heavy, but has cut through the body, oozing blood, and then dozens of piranus swooped up, splashing, two injured piranous fish were gnawed clean in the blink of an eye, only a crystal clear skeleton slowly sank underwater. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xiyun was secretly shocked, the short thorns of this copper-faced thorn vine were less than an inch long, and they were so sharp, this piranus even ate its own kind, and its sensitivity to blood was even more amazing.

Xiyun didn't know how to beat around the bush, and said directly: "General Long, both of them are injured and can't soak in the water, please let them go, if there is anything you need my help with, or if there are any conditions, please just say." After being reminded by Qingliu, he also understood that if the other party had not asked for himself, how could he have avoided prison.

At this time, a boat broke through the water, the speed was extremely fast, there was a person standing in the bow of the boat, the black clothes fluttered on the body, the floating and convex figure was undoubtedly revealed, the green silk was flying, the face was soft, the eyebrows were slightly frowned, although the feelings were anxious, but the corners of the mouth still contained a light smile, graceful and noble.

"General Long, why are you staying here? Let's go, the priest has been waiting for a long time. ”

The voice is soft and pleasant, coming with the wind, clear as in the ear, without revealing any anxiety.

Xiyun's eyes lit up, this voice was really good, his eyes turned to the end of the bed, although the woman who was rocking the oars was sitting, but it could be seen that her figure was quite tall, and her appearance was a little rough, not as thin and handsome as other mermaids, and her arms that rolled up half of her sleeves were quite thick. She rocked the oars alone, but the speed was so fast, and the stop was crisp and neat, and the strength of her arms was amazing.

The guards greeted in unison: "General Jiao." ”

Such a charming woman turned out to be a general? Xiyun was surprised, seeing that everyone was extremely respectful to her, he hurriedly said: "General Jiao, the two people imprisoned in the water prison have a great relationship with me, can you please let them go?"

General Jiao looked at General Long, smiled slightly, and said, "Come, General Long, you go with me to see the priest, Xiaoru and Xiaobei, you arrange for the two friends of the little master to rest." ”

This General Jiao has a soft appearance, but his decision is very sharp, General Long sighed slightly, jumped on General Jiao's boat, and nodded to the two subordinates.

Xiyun was overjoyed, and hugged his fist at General Jiao and said, "Thank you." Then he said to the two guards: "Trouble two." ”

General Long said coldly, "Don't let them run around. ”

Xiaoru and Xiaobei led the order in unison.

Xiyun glanced at General Long.

General Jiao smiled lightly and changed the topic, "Has the little master eaten?"

As soon as Xiyun mentioned it, her stomach immediately growled, and she couldn't help but laugh.

General Long glanced at him, but General Jiao smiled softly and said to the end of the bed: "Xiaowei, let's hurry up." ”

"Yes, General. "The voice is low and hoarse, more like a male voice. If Qingliu is here, she can't help but laugh, this woman has a little black beard on her lips, she doesn't smile, and her voice is thick, but she has such a gentle name.

The boat picked up speed steadily, turned to a diversion, was smooth and silky, nimble as a fish, and soon sailed onto the main channel. The main river is wide and calm, and the boats are moving leisurely on both sides, and when they see this "big" boat walking in the middle of the river and moving fast, they all raise their voices to say hello, "General Jiao." General Dragon. ”

Xiyun looked left and right curiously, the closer to the palace, the denser the population became, and the wooden houses also had two-story and three-story structures, but no matter how old or young, the clothes people wore were similar, they were all very plain hemp gray or white-gray, and Xiyun still didn't see any man.

Half an hour later, the boat went around a bend, and a hill nearly 100 zhang high appeared at the end of the main river.

General Jiao pointed to the hill and said, "That's our main city, and the palace is on top." ”

It is said that it is a royal palace, but in fact it is only a high position, and there is no splendor, it still reveals the taste of simplicity and nature, and a white stone staircase is wide from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.

Xiyun was confused, this was going to the palace, and couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything you need my help with?"

General Jiao's eyebrows showed a little worry, and he said softly, "The priest will tell you." ”

The boat docked, General Long did not say a word, strode forward, and the four of them did not go to the main hall of the palace, but came to the priest's hall on one side. There are six stairs outside the hall, and there are three rattan guards on each side. General Long and General Jiao took Xiyun into the hall, and General Jiao motioned for Xiaowei to wait outside the door.

The priest's hall is about six feet high, the doors and windows are covered by curtains, and the long black flags hang down from the air, and the flags are covered with red and yellow lines, which look quite mysterious, and only a few candles are lit in the corners, making the center of the whole hall darker and darker.

Xiyun was on guard and had learned to protect himself better after all he had been through in Mullan Town. The altar of the offering table was faintly visible in front of him, and there seemed to be a black figure standing in front of the altar with its back to it, but it merged with the darkness around it, and there was no sound of breathing, making it difficult for him to be sure.

General Long said, "Lord Priest, the monk brought it." ”

General Jiao glanced at her delicately and said, "The little master has arrived, Lord Priest." He stepped aside.

The dark shadow in front of the altar turned around and walked slowly, his movements a little stiff.

Only then did Xiyun determine that it was indeed a person, but his whole body was shrouded in black robes, but for some reason he couldn't hear the slightest sound of breathing.

General Long and General Jiao noticed that the priest's movements were awkward, and they were secretly strange, and they glanced at each other.

General Jiao called softly, "Lord Priest?"

The shadow was silent, but suddenly fell to the ground like mud.

General Long and General Jiao's faces changed instantly, and they exclaimed in surprise, and stepped forward to meet the black shadow that fell.

At this time, Xiyun was alarmed in his heart, and suddenly raised his head, and a black shadow was silently volleying down into the air, and a black long sword pierced his heart.

Xiyun's knees were straight, his feet suddenly slipped back, his right hand was quickly raised, and his strength flicked on the blade of the sword.

The black shadow obviously didn't expect Xiyun to react so quickly, and at the same time, he felt a strange strong force surging through the blade, and his arm suddenly went numb, almost unable to hold the long sword.

Xiyun paused slightly, stood up, and slapped it in front of him with one palm.

The man's reaction was also fast, and his light skills were even more clever, his body flipped in the air, fell to the side, and in an instant, he hid behind a long flag, and Xiyun chased after him, and the man had disappeared.

General Long and General Jiao both screamed at this time, "What kind of person!?" got up at the same time, lifted long flags, swept their eyes around, and searched everywhere.

Xiyun vaguely saw a figure on the right flickering, followed closely, opened a curtain, the sun shone down, and hurriedly turned his head to squint. It turned out to be a small courtyard in the side hall, but I heard a pleasant voice say: "Hey, it's you." ”

A slender figure on the left side of the courtyard came out of the room and was about to close the door.

Xiyun looked over, a typical merman beauty, with a soft face and bright eyes, and couldn't help but wonder: "You know me?"

As soon as the door curtain moved, General Long rushed over when he heard the voice, her eyes swept sharply, and she hurriedly said, "Xiaoyuan, has anyone escaped from here?"

The woman was startled, "What's wrong?"

"Something has happened to the priest. ”

"Ahh Xiao Yuan's face changed greatly, "How come, didn't the priest go to the palace?"

General Long was stunned when he heard this, turned around and entered the temple, lit a candle and ran quickly to the altar.

Xiyun could not understand what they were saying, so he could only follow behind.

A few candles had been lit in front of the altar, and there was a lot of light, and General Jiao stood up with a sad face, and said, "It's Xiaoyu." ”

Xiyun saw a pale little face wrapped in a black robe under the candlelight.

Xiao Yuan was shocked and moved, trembling to check the pulse of the man, and then cried bitterly, "Xiaoyu~"

Xiyun was wondering, why didn't they call the guards in?

General Long shouted: "Xiao Yuan, don't cry, what's going on? The priest obviously asked us to meet here, why did you go to the palace again?"

Xiao Yuan whimpered for a while, sobbed and said: "The priest waited for you to arrive, the queen sent someone to recruit her, she went over first, and told Xiaoyu to wait for you here, I still have the materials ready, so I want to wait for you to arrive and go over together." Woo woo ~ how could this happen......"

General Jiao hugged Xiao Yuan, patted her on the back gently, and comforted: "Don't cry, let's go to the palace to have a look, wipe away the tears, and don't be discovered." ”

Xiyun was confused, the priest, the queen, don't be discovered, and couldn't help frowning, "Why did that person kill me?"

General Long: "Hmph. "A bang.

General Jiao sighed lightly, "Let's go to the palace first." ”

Out of the priest's hall, General Long ordered the guards outside the hall to guard the door, and no one needed to enter or leave.

The status of the priest of the merman country is second only to the queen, but the priest's hall is more mysterious than the queen's palace, except for a few people, no one is allowed to enter unless the priest beckons him on weekdays, and Xiyun fought with the mysterious person for only a moment, and there was no sound, so the guards were not aware of it, and nodded to receive the order.

Xiaowei saw that the general's face was a little wrong, but she had always been silent and didn't ask much.

The group hurried to the palace, Xiyun knew that he was involved in a not very good incident, but the others kept it secretive, telling him not to feel uncomfortable, thinking: "If Qingliu is here, maybe he can see something." ”

Arriving at the top of the mountain, Xiyun sighed wonderfully, this palace didn't look as luxurious as the Chen family's mansion in Mulan Town, if it weren't for the heavy guards, he really suspected that this was just an ordinary manor. However, the pavilions in the palace are surrounded by twists and turns, but the artistic conception is much higher than that of the Chen family's mansion.

Walking through the two palaces, General Long, General Jiao, Xiao Yuan, and Xiyun entered the Queen's Palace.

The queen's hall is about more than ten zhang high, more than ten zhang wide, more than 20 zhang deep, there are two mahogany long tables in the middle, the innermost nine steps are on the throne, the throne is like an open big shell, and the soft brilliance does not stop flowing.

At this time, there were only three people in the palace, the queen was about thirty years old, wearing a pearl crown, a white pleated off-the-shoulder skirt, a string of round pearls hanging on her slender neck, beautiful eyebrows and phoenix eyes, delicate facial features, extremely beautiful appearance, graceful bearing, but her complexion was a little blue, and there was a faint trace of black gas between her eyebrows.

Xiyun glanced at her and frowned slightly, she was poisoned.
