Just as Dong Rui was about to reach out to take the shot, Xi Yunhe stepped forward and said, "I'll go first."
As expected, this guy was wary of him. Dong Rui was slightly stunned, but looked indifferent.
At this moment, there was a loud bang from the side!
The utility room of the carriage house exploded.
It was only two feet away from everyone, and the powerful shock wave pushed everyone staggering.
Thick white smoke rose, and there seemed to be shadows flickering inside.
The three guards immediately stepped forward. Xi Yunhe stepped in front of Dong Rui and said in a deep voice: "Fire the arrow!"
No matter who it is, shoot him down first and then talk about it.
He was also unsure. The fact that Imperial Master Qingyang dared to frame Dong Rui meant that she probably knew where the latter lived.
The pursuers will come at any time, so you can't blame him for being a thief.
The elbows and armpits were transformed, and no one noticed that the Snail Toad behind him lowered his big head and approached Dong Rui.
At this time, a monster jumped out of the chariot and horse stall. It was obscured by white smoke. The guard thought it was a monkey at first sight.
But it's not.
This is actually a huge bat. Its face is not as ugly as other species. Instead, it looks a bit like a monkey or a little bear. It's a bit cute when it closes its mouth.
However, when it opens its mouth, it is full of canine teeth.
Except for its head, it has no hair on its body, and its skin is like a lizard, covered with fine wrinkles.
There are slender spikes on each bone of the wings.
What the hell is this?
Despite Xi Yunhe's extensive knowledge, he had never seen such a monster before. It was full of weirdness and incongruity.
Speaking of incongruity, his mind moved, this thing really looked like a demon!
Oops.
"Catch..." Xi Yunhe suddenly turned around, just in time to see Snail Toad open its big mouth and swallow Dong Rui in one gulp!
It plunged downwards, diving directly into the ground like a fish diving!
Not giving Xi Yunhe and others any chance to intercept.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Dong Rui and Snail Toad disappeared, and the backyard of the chariot and horse inn returned to an empty mud field.
"..." Unable to catch up, Xi Yunhe punched the wall.
At this time, the guard who entered the room to get the box also jumped over the wall and said in surprise: "Sir, we are now..."
"withdraw!"
An explosion in a busy city will definitely attract onlookers. You cannot stay here for long.
Before Xi Yunhe left, he looked back again. He saw the demon puppet fluttering its wings and flying up to the turret not far away.
Even such a thing knows how to hide himself. Dong Rui's reputation as a master of escape is really worthy of his name. I accidentally fell into his trap.
However, as long as Dong Rui doesn't appear again and doesn't involve Imperial Master Shuangye, his mission can be considered completed.
…
As soon as Xi Yunhe and others left, He Lingchuan put down the big bowl and stood up: "Check out."
The sound of the explosion alarmed the neighbors, and everyone came to the carriage house to poke their heads in the air.
He Lingchuan walked over and stretched his neck like them. In fact, a tiny spider bounced down from the wall and landed in his clothes.
After taking back the eyeball spider, He Lingchuan turned around and left.
The government office will send someone over soon, and for him, it is also not a good place to stay for a long time.
Entering the noodle soup shop again, He Lingchuan took out the blue sheep from behind and walked back along the street.
"What a bad thing!" The mirror in his arms kept chattering, "Grandmaster Qingyang actually accused Dong Rui, what should I do about Nian Zanli?"
He Lingchuan remained silent.
The mirror said again: "If the annual tribute really borrows those tens of thousands of horses, your Yuan Kingdom will be in great misfortune. Master, you are the sinner of the Yuan Kingdom!"
He Lingchuan frowned and patted his chest:
"Shut up."
He originally had a series of plans, an important part of which was to use the divine blood to blame Nian Zan, so that he would be imprisoned or subject to the scrutiny of the Heavenly Palace, so he would not be able to borrow troops to attack Yuan with the token of the Frost Leaf Imperial Master.
But now Qingyang Imperial Master identified Dong Rui as the source of his divine blood.
Although Dong Rui did have divine blood, this immediately disrupted He Lingchuan's plan.
what to do?
Do you want to sit back and watch the New Year Salute escape from your own trap? That would be a recipe for endless disaster.
A hint of cruelty suddenly flashed in He Lingchuan's eyes: "Just do it without stopping!"
The mirror didn't hear clearly: "What did you say?"
"Isn't the God determined to trace the source of the divine blood?" The street was very noisy with people coming and going. He Lingchuan lowered his voice, and no one paid attention at all. No one cared about what he said, except for the soul-telling mirror, "Then let's
Nian Praise is bound to Dong Rui!"
"Huh?" Bind, bind? Is that what it means?
He Lingchuan remained silent, thinking of new plans along the way.
It is not easy to achieve great things, and there are many obstacles along the way, so he has to adapt to changes.
Suddenly his face felt cold.
He Lingchuan looked up and saw silver threads falling from the sky.
It's raining.
…
The rain became heavier and heavier, and when He Lingchuan returned to Pianxiang Villa, his clothes were already soaked through.
Fu Shanyue is out and will not return to the village today.
He Lingchuan walked quickly to the back mountain - after following him many times, Tongxinwei was no longer surprised by his sudden appearance.
He boarded the boat and rowed to the middle of the lake by himself.
The lake in Qilin Back Mountain is very quiet, and there are several small islands in the lake, dotted like pearls.
Although it is late autumn, the trees on the island are still dense - in the past, the trees on these islands were specially planted evergreen species, and they could even change color and bloom in autumn and winter, such as kapok.
People on the shore can only see a circle of lush green on the island in the center of the lake, but have no idea of ​​the details inside.
There are even two giant banyan trees on the island, with a canopy like an umbrella, covering half of the island.
He Lingchuan landed on the island and walked in through the dense outer forest.
The island is not big, only about 300 square meters, but there are two monasteries under the giant banyan tree, with the doors and windows intact.
Originally, this island was a private place for the previous owner to play, but along with the entire Pianxiang Villa, it was abandoned for ten years. The Villa was given to Fushiyama Echigo, and the servants worked hard to clean the various buildings and gardens, except for those in the center of the lake.
island--
Firstly, there are no boats, and secondly, it is inevitable to be lazy in inaccessible places.
In short, this is a very secluded place now, and there are even few birds because there are too many snakes. He Lingchuan was walking in the grass and unexpectedly encountered four snakes. The big ones were as wide as the wrist, and the smaller ones were not as thick as a kuai.
Apparently the island in the middle of the lake, which had not been disturbed for ten years, has become a paradise for snakes.
He Lingchuan walked to the open space in front of the monastery. This place has been under the shade of a giant banyan tree all year round. The ground is covered with thick mulch and leaves. It becomes even more humid after rain, which is perfect for reptiles to live in.
The heavy rain suddenly stopped, and the atmosphere was filled with the smell of earth and grass.
He Lingchuan took out a few ball beads from his arms, crushed them, and wiped them on the ground.
This is the egg of a snail toad.
Just in case, he climbed onto the giant banyan tree and kept a little distance from the ground.
