Chapter 86 Besieged
The ground was damp with dew, and gusts of wind would blow out from time to time, carrying the smell of corpses stained with mud and blowing coolly on people.
The Yamen trembled, clenched the long sword in his hand and retreated: "Your Majesty, I heard that this place is still haunted, so there is no need for us to go in."
Bai Mingyu didn't have much time to discuss with him the issue of whether to get in or not. Yu Cong saw the prince's impatience and turned to them and said, "You guys stay outside."
They didn't know the prince's temper, so they said such words. If he were in the military camp, this would be considered disobedience to military orders, and he could be beheaded in minutes.
Yu Cong recalled the comfort and ease in the military camp, and then looked at how he was now groveling and becoming a sword in the emperor's hand. Although he was doing important things to clear away grievances, it was not as comfortable as the military camp.
Here we have to deal with all kinds of people, and after returning in triumph for the last time, the emperor took back the military power from the prince on the grounds that the Bai family was the only one in the family, and trapped the prince in the capital.
The brothers in the military camp all saw that the emperor had some intentions of killing the donkey, but the walls had ears, but they did not dare to comment. It was impossible that the prince could not see the secrets that they, rough old men, could see.
But the prince still worked hard and never complained, and finally became the sharpest knife in the emperor's hand. According to the prince's intention, it was to repay the favor, but the old prince died at the hands of the emperor.
The news about the old prince's collusion with the rebels reached the capital, and none of them believed that the man who could fight all over the battlefield for the sake of the emperor's ambition and never even returned home would end up colluding with the rebels?
But in the end, only the old prince's head was sent back. From then on, the figure of the prince standing at the door looking forward to his return home gradually disappeared.
Bai Mingyu led his men into the woods. The sun was bright outside, but it was cool and dark inside.
They began to search everywhere for signs that anyone had been there. Bai Mingyu flew up the tree with a light skill and looked around, but there was no one there.
The secret passage leads to the bottom of the mountain. They did not waste much time searching under the mountain. Or is there another passage that is faster than them?
Bai Mingyu has been fighting all year round, and his eyesight is better than ordinary people even in the dark night. He stepped firmly on the ground, walked towards a tree, wiped the stuff on it with his hand, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it.
It was fresh blood, and there was no sunlight coming in, so it was always in a moist state. He wanted to follow this direction to trace it to the end.
Animal sounds suddenly came from all around, and many sounds were mixed together. Everyone felt that something was wrong, so they gathered together as soon as possible.
Yu Cong pulled out his long sword and stood by the prince's side: "Your Majesty, let's go out first."
Bai Mingyu's eyes were secretly filled with bloodlust: "It's already here."
The man may have deliberately left the blood in order to lure these people out. He was certain that he would not be able to get out of here today.
Shen Zhiyue heard the cry of animals in the room, which shook the whole mountain. How could animals suddenly appear and appear in broad daylight?
She took the medicine and felt much better, but the place where her back was hit was still very painful, so she forced herself to sit up.
"Yu Qing, where is the prince now?"
Yu Qing hesitated for a long time, but still refused to answer: "My dear madam, you are not well yet, so you cannot run around."
"Yu Qing, if they are really in danger, do you think I can rest here? One more person will give me more strength. Where are they?"
"Back Mountain." Since birth, people in the village have said that the twins have telepathy, and Yu Qing can feel that his brother seems to be injured.
Shen Zhiyue held the aching place on her back, and when she moved a little, she felt that her entire chest was in pain.
"Yu Qing, please take someone over first, and leave one person to accompany me." Since the last time she encountered danger, she suddenly realized that a bodyguard is a necessity when going out.
Yu Qing approved of her arrangement, mainly because the attendants chosen by the prince were all top-notch masters, and their skills were no worse than his.
He immediately took a person to the back mountain. Shen Zhiyue thought that walking would be slow anyway, so she went to the back kitchen to prepare some things and asked the guards to take them and set off.
Yu Qing saw the yamen guarding the entrance and refused to go in when he heard something unusual inside. After all, they were just greedy people who were afraid of death. They couldn't be expected to do anything.
He pulled out his sword, rushed in, jumped up with Qinggong, and thrust the sword straight into the wolf's head. Blood spattered all over his face, and the wolf instantly fell to the ground and died.
Yu Qing pulled out his long sword and flew to the prince to protect him. Bai Mingyu said gloomily: "Are you ignoring my order by repeatedly leaving your post without authorization?"
"Ever since I became the personal bodyguard of the young lady, I have only taken orders from the young lady." This is the only reason that can escape the crime at present.
After one wolf died, the movements of the other beasts stopped, giving them a chance to breathe. Yu Cong took out his handkerchief, wrapped it around his injured arm, tied a knot with his mouth, and tightened his grip on the sword.
The beasts slowed down and continued to move forward. Bai Mingyu continued to kill. At this time, Shen Zhiyue arrived. She walked in and threw the raw meat in the opposite direction.
These beasts just glanced at him, showing that they were not very interested, and turned around to continue dealing with Bai Mingyu.
Shen Zhiyue stared, very puzzled: "Why are these beasts not interested in food?"
Bai Mingyu was trapped by the wild beast, and he was unable to protect her: "Yue'er, leave quickly."
The rhino's horn pointed at Bai Mingyu, and she shouted: "Be careful."
Bai Mingyu reacted very quickly to avoid it, but his arm was still scratched by the rhinoceros horn. Shen Zhiyue watched more and more beasts appear out of nowhere. She held the wine in her hand and could only take risks. Recruited.
She gave the wine to the guard, and her eyes suggested that she should proceed with the original plan. Shen Zhiyue ran out of the woods and told the servant: "Quickly call the monk to put out the fire."
The officer didn't know what was going on inside. He only heard the sound of a jar breaking and a strong aroma of wine coming from inside.
Because the incense in Shuizi Temple is very popular, these are specially brewed by the host for guests to drink. The wine brewed by this host is excellent. Gradually, some people who want to drink come to Songzi Temple to beg for drinks. The demand is huge, so they stock up on wine. many.
Immediately afterwards, flames burst out from the woods. When the officer saw it, he immediately fixed his official hat on his head and ran towards Shuangzi Temple. At this time, the monk who had risen in the morning to chant sutras and chant Buddha came out of the temple and saw that the forbidden area was on fire. , immediately carried the water and headed towards the Yamen, where they happened to bump into each other.
They all felt that if something happened to the prince in their territory and the emperor blamed him, they would probably all survive, so they picked up the bucket and followed the monk closely.
When Shen Zhiyue saw that they were all gone, she returned to the woods. The guards followed her instructions and lit a fire ring around Bai Mingyu, and then sprinkled the remaining wine on the wild beasts, causing them to kill each other and hurt each other. It can also consume a lot.
They have lived in such a cold and humid place for a long time, and the temperature of the fire completely persuaded them to retreat. After a push, the group all retreated.
