Xue Poye had been muttering to himself before, could it be that the defense here was really broken through so easily? Although Xiao Shitou got the information and took action because of the fragrant leaves, but he was able to enter the Beihu prison area so easily.
It still made Xue Poye feel a little uneasy. Some things went too smoothly, which was not a good thing.
When he saw this monkey-like figure, Xue Poye realized that the real defense was in this cell. He could tell at a glance that this "monkey"'s martial arts cultivation was definitely not low.
The monkey's eyes as big as sesame seeds were staring at Xue Poye, which made Xue Poye feel uncomfortable all over. He had experienced countless life and death moments, and now he broke out in cold sweat all over his body.
He didn't feel that he was no match for the opponent. On the contrary, he firmly believed that he would be able to defeat the opponent. This was the belief that a warrior must have before fighting. His cold sweat was just because of the evil aura exuding from the "monkey".
"Hello!" After a long time, after a nearly suffocating confrontation, Xue Poye finally broke the atmosphere.
"Monkey" stood up slowly. His legs were bent in a deformed way and he seemed unable to stand straight. He took two steps forward and said in a hoarse voice: "Are you from the Central Plains?"
Xue Poye nodded.
"Are you coming to save them?"
Xue Poye still nodded.
"I have seen and killed many warriors from the Central Plains." Monkey said in a hoarse voice: "You are not as strong as them."
Xue Poye nodded and admitted: "The martial arts of the Central Plains are profound and mysterious. I am just getting a glimpse of the way." As he spoke, he had already gathered his energy, waiting for the monkey to make the slightest move, then he would strike first.
The monkey nodded: "Judging from your strength and cultivation, it seems that it is less than a year."
Xue Poye frowned and did not show his surprise on his face, but he was extremely surprised deep down in his heart. He really did not expect that this monkey-like barbarian would be so clear about the Central Plains martial arts and could even see it at a glance.
Considering his own martial arts cultivation, this is really shocking.
"What you have achieved today depends on your luck, mind, and qi-guiding techniques." The monkey looked at Xue Poye and said in a hoarse voice: "Well, that's right. Are you Qin Wuhen's disciple?"
"Qin Wuhen?" Xue Poye was stunned: "Who is he?"
"You don't know him?"
"I don't know." Xue Poye shook his head and suddenly thought, could it be that "Qin Wuhen" in the monkey's mouth was actually the old Eunuch Qin next to the eldest princess? Eunuch Qin was just a eunuch in the palace, how could the monkey know him?
"Remember?" The monkey laughed strangely. From Xue Poye's eyes, he knew that Xue Poye might have remembered something.
Xue Poye said calmly: "As long as I kill you, I can take them away."
"It's not easy to kill me." The monkey said slowly: "You still have a way out. You can exchange things for them, or you can exchange them for them."
"What?"
"The secret of your mental cultivation." The monkey's eyes revealed a greedy light: "That old monster's things must be excellent. Give them to me and I will let them go."
Xue Poye sighed, shook his head and said, "You don't look like a barbarian."
"I am not a barbarian. Many years ago, I don't remember how long ago. At that time, I was still serving the Holy Lord Yangwu in your palace in Da Chu." The monkey said slowly: "I remember that.
At that time, many people called me Eunuch Bai."
Damn, this monkey is actually a eunuch!
Xue Poye broke out in a cold sweat.
Emperor Yangwu was a very familiar name. Xue Poye seemed to have heard Mingxu mention it, but he knew very little about this emperor. It was said that he was an extremely sage and wise monarch.
At this moment, Xue Poye couldn't help but ask: "Who is Emperor Yangwu...?"
"Haha...!" The monkey laughed sharply: "It turns out that Deqing didn't even have the courage to promote Emperor Yangwu. What is stolen will be stolen. Even Deqing is not practical."
Xue Poye was even more confused when he heard these words. He didn't understand what the so-called "robbed" meant.
"I tell you, Emperor Yangwu is Deqing's uncle. As for the others, if you can or leave here, you can go and investigate them yourself." Monkey's voice began to become cold: "At that time, in the palace, I discovered that Qin Wuhen actually
He was a warrior, and his cultivation level at that time was not high, but it was enough to shock people."
At this time, the prisoners who were chained by iron chains finally woke up and were shocked to see Xue Poye confronting the monkey in the cell. They didn't even know who Xue Poye was.
Xue Poye calmly took out the token given by Ouyang Dexiu from his arms, shook it slightly, and quickly put it into his arms.
He had to be sure that these guys were spies from Yanmen Pass. If they were really spies from Yanmen Pass, they would be able to recognize them at a glance as long as they saw the token. Otherwise, these people would not be his targets.
Although the six locked men only saw a glimpse of the token, their faces were filled with surprise. They looked at each other and respectfully said in unison: "Sir!"
Xue Poye breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he was looking for the right place.
At this time, he couldn't delay any more. He had to deal with the monkey quickly and lead the spies away from here. Things would change later. He didn't have much time to waste, so he raised his arm flatly, the cold blade flashed with cold light, and said lightly: "You
Since he is a small eunuch of Da Chu, but he has betrayed his country and his clan and become a slave of the barbarians, I must always enforce the laws of the imperial court."
When the monkey heard the word "eunuch", it was indescribably harsh. In an instant, his body really jumped up out of thin air like a keen monkey. His two hands, without knowing when, each held a curved handle.
The knife, with its sharp blade, struck Xue Poye straight to the left and right.
Xue Poye's head was suddenly shrouded in sword light.
"Sir, this is the Yin Monkey of North Huba Utu!" a spy reminded.
Xue Poye exerted force on his feet and took two steps back. Hearing the reminder, he realized that this monkey was a member of Bawutu, a dark organization in Beihu. He was even more careful and swung the cold blade upwards unceremoniously.
.
Monkey knew that the weapon in Xue Poye's hand was extraordinary. Years of experience had made him understand that this weapon was not one that he could forcibly wield.
His body paused slightly, his wrist flicked, and instead of continuing to attack Xue Poye's body, he reversed the blade and struck the back of Xue Poye's hand.
In this small stone prison, Xue Poye couldn't free up his hands and feet to perform the Ecstasy Step. Even if he wanted to perform it, it would be extremely difficult as expected. The monkey's moves seemed very slow, but each move was extremely powerful.
Sharp and to the point.
It was obvious that Monkey was quite afraid of the cold blade in Xue Poye's hand, so the purpose of his main attack was to knock down Xue Poye's weapon first.
Although Xue Poye cannot be said to have experienced battles for a long time, his numerous life and death battles have made him extremely experienced and calm in actual combat.
Monkey's martial arts cultivation is not considered strong, but he is on par with me, or slightly better. His fear lies in the accuracy and decisiveness of his attacks.
Although the spies did not know the specific identity of Xue Poye, since they were able to take out the token, there was no doubt that he was one of their own, so they were all worried about Xue Poye.
Bawutu of Beihu was not easy to deal with. All the spies sent from Yanmen Pass fell into Bawutu's hands.
But they soon discovered that although the monkey's attacks were sharp and sharp, overall, the actual threat to Xue Poye was not very strong. The shining dagger in Xue Poye's hand was like a poisonous snake's letter, floating in the air.
Everyone knows that if someone is stung by this "poisonous letter", their life will be over.
Xue Poye's cold blade was filled with ecstasy energy. At this moment, the decision to fight was definitely a helpless choice, but it was necessary to do so, accumulate all the strength, and launch a strong attack on the monkey.
"Click"!
A clear cracking sound resounded in the cave, and the scimitar in the monkey's left hand was cut into two pieces by the cold blade.
There was no panic, the monkey remained silent, and the broken knife continued to stab Xue Poye vigorously.
The light of swords in the cave was like lightning. Later, the spies only saw two figures walking in and out of the cave. They were mixed together. They could no longer tell which sword light belonged to Monkey and which one belonged to Xue Po.
night.
"Bang!"
There was another muffled sound.
The figures in the sword light finally separated.
Xue Poye's face turned pale and he couldn't help but take a few steps back. The cold blade penetrated deeply into the monkey's lower abdomen, and the blood immediately reflected his fur clothes red.
The monkey showed an incredible expression, swayed back a few steps, and slowly sat on the stone ridge.
"What are you...?" Monkey looked at Xue Poye.
With a little luck, Xue Poye smoothed over the roiling blood in his chest, and then said calmly: "Ecstasy finger, turn it into a knife!"
The monkey grinned, then a look of pain appeared on his face. He suddenly shook his head and said: "You...you are all...all wrong...!"
"Wrong?"
Caused by being struck by a knife.
"Da Chu...!" Monkey murmured to himself and shook his head: "No, today's Da Chu is fake, it's fake... Deqing... the fake emperor Deqing is also fake, it's all fake
Fake, haha... you are all working for a fake... fake empire...!"
Xue Poye frowned and said coldly: "What exactly do you mean by this, and what do you want to say?"
The monkey ignored it, and just pulled out the cold blade from his lower abdomen, looked at it in front of his eyes, and said with a smile: "Die... die by its hands... that's enough...!" Blood spurted out from his lower abdomen, and the monkey shot towards him.
Then he fell down and died.
There was a moment of silence in the stone prison, and the spies were dumbfounded as they looked at the monkey's body. They had been living in the same room with the monkey day and night, and knew that this monkey was Bawutu's Yin Monkey.
The three generals of Bawutu, Fierce Tiger, Wild Wolf, and Yin Monkey!
The Yin Monkey is taciturn and usually does not torture the spies who are prisoners too much. He just behaves strangely and makes people feel eerie. The spies also know that, as one of Bawutu's generals,
, Yin Hou had his own abilities, but he didn’t expect that he would die in Xue Poye’s hands today.
Although the incomprehensible words of the monkey before his death made Xue Poye full of doubts, it was not suitable to stay here for a long time. He immediately stepped forward to take the cold blade from the monkey's hand, wiped it clean, and then quickly stepped forward and opened everyone's eyes with the cold blade.
Shackles on hands and feet.
"Can you leave?" Xue Poye asked in a deep voice.
Everyone bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you, sir. Sir, the barbarians left us here because they wanted us to perform sacrificial rituals. They believed this, so they didn't use torture on us and we were able to move freely."
Xue Poye nodded, put away the cold blade, and without further words said in a deep voice: "Let's go!" He walked out of the stone prison first.
After passing through that dark passage, Xue Poye finally led several spies out of the cave and came out one by one along the iron door that opened a gap.
The spies who had not breathed fresh air for a long time greedily took in the fresh air of the grassland, but the talent of the dark personnel kept them from losing their alertness, and someone asked in a low voice: "Sir, what should we do next?"
Xue Poye pointed to the foot of the mountain in the north and said: "There are unconscious Beihu sentries there. Go and change into their clothes quickly. There should be horses there. Grab their weapons and leave here at night."
The spy seemed to understand the meaning of Xue Poye's words and asked in surprise: "Sir, then you won't come with us?"
Xue Poye waved his hand and said: "I still have something important to do and must stay." Thinking that Mr. Ghost's identity is not yet known, how can he leave like this? If he just wants to stay, his life may be in danger.
"My lord!" The six spies knelt down in unison: "I humbly ask your lord to come back with us."
Xue Poye had a cold look on his face: "Changes will happen later, so hurry up and leave." He waved his hand and said quickly: "Go, be careful."
The spies looked at each other and finally said goodbye through gritted teeth. The six figures instantly disappeared into the darkness.
Xue Poye watched the spies disappear, took a deep breath, and was about to summon Xiao Shitou when he heard a voice with a hint of helplessness: "Brother Chou Shi, it turns out you really came here with a purpose."
Xue Poye was shocked. He looked around and saw that under the starry night sky, Sumayu stood there with a sad face. There was no one around her except a small stone.
"Master, Sister Sumayu...ah...!" Xiao Shitou shook his head and finally said: "She has been waiting for you here for a long time."
Xue Poye walked slowly in front of Sumayu, with a spring breeze-like smile on his face, and said softly: "Thank you!" He knew that since Sumayu had been waiting here early in the morning, of course he knew that he was waiting in Shishi
What she was doing in the cave, Sumayu didn't call anyone because she was worried that she would be caught and executed by her tribe.
Tears suddenly rolled out of Sumayu's beautiful eyes, and she shook her head and said: "Brother Chou Shi, you... why do you do this? Yingtu Shuai treats you sincerely, and I treat you sincerely, why... why do you do this?
"
Xue Poye shook his head and said calmly: "Sumayu, I am a person who can do something or not. This is my responsibility, so don't blame me."
Sumayu said sadly: "If you do this, Yingtu Shuai will be very sad, and I will be very sad too, do you know?"
"I know." Xue Poye said seriously: "But I don't feel guilty. If Brother Wu and you are in danger, I will rescue you and help you regardless of my life. Do you understand what I mean? I...
They are Chu people after all!”
There was a rapid sound of horse hooves in the north, and it was obvious that several spies had already caught the horses and left.
Sumayu took a few steps back and looked at Xue Poye blankly. After a long while, he said calmly: "Shuai Yingtu ordered me to go to your tent to see if you and Xiao Shitou were resting. If not, he ordered me to go back.
Report. I saw you guys coming here, and I followed you all the way. It’s been quite a while. I’m afraid Ying Tu Shuai will be suspicious. You and Xiao Shitou should go away quickly. I’m afraid they’ll be here soon.”
Sumayu's face looked a little pale, and he seemed to have made a lot of determination.
Xue Poye sighed, stepped forward to hold Sumayu's hand, and said with a smile: "If we leave, won't your people blame you?"
"I...I am Yingtu Shuai's aunt, they won't do anything to me." Sumayou said stubbornly.
Xue Poye shook his head and said: "Don't lie to me. I know the rules of the grassland. Once you are punished, no matter what your identity is, you want to exchange your life for ours. Even if your Chou Shi eldest brother
No matter how stupid you are, you still understand this truth."
Xue Poye now loves this girl from the bottom of his heart. Under her stubborn appearance, she still puts a woman's most cherished feelings first. Although she has not engaged in marital affairs, in Sumayu's eyes, she is obviously
She regards herself as her man, and for the sake of her own man, Sumayu is willing to take the consequences.
"You... you leave quickly!" Sumayu pushed Xue Poye away: "If you don't leave, it will be too late."
She was really anxious.
Xue Poye held Sumayu's hand and said seriously: "Sumayu, Brother Choushi has something to ask for your help. You must agree."
Sumayu opened his eyes wide and looked at Xue Poye. Xue Poye glanced at Xiao Shitou and then said slowly: "In case of any accident, you have to promise Brother Chou Shi to do everything in your power to ensure that Xiao Shitou is protected."
Can you do it safely?"
"Master...!" Xiao Shitou's eyes turned red.
Sumayu nodded without any hesitation: "Brother Chou Shi, Little Shitou is also my benefactor. I will do my best to ensure his safety."
"Okay!" Xue Poye smiled and nodded: "Then I'll thank you first. Let's go and take me to see Brother Wu."
"ah!"
Xiao Shitou and Sumayu were shocked at the same time.
Xue Poye looked up at the night sky with faint stars, and his voice was as calm as clouds: "Since you have done what you should do, you are not afraid of facing any challenges. Brother Wu and I have a deep brotherly love, and I can't just walk away.
This is undoubtedly a huge insult to him."
"But...!" Sumayu was about to say more when he suddenly heard the sound of horse hoofbeats. He knew that something was wrong with the Barhut tribe and sent reinforcements.
Xue Poye arranged his clothes and said with a smile: "Look, I can't leave now even if I want to."
The sound of horse hoofbeats gradually approached, and soon they came close. More than ten horses stopped not far in front of Xue Poye. The first person was not Wu Lachi, but he was also an acquaintance of Xue Poye.
Zhedun, who just got married.
Zheden got off his horse and looked towards the rocky mountain. He frowned slightly when he saw that the iron door had been opened, but he still walked up to Xue Poye and bowed respectfully: "Long time no see, distinguished guest from afar!
"
When Xue Poye saw Zheton, he also felt a sense of intimacy. He smiled and said, "Brother Zheton, we haven't seen you for a long time. How are you always?"
Zheden nodded with a smile and said: "With Commander Yingtu taking care of him, Zheden is living well. Distinguished guest, Commander Yingtu ordered me to come and invite you to meet me."
"Okay!" Xue Poye nodded and said, "Let's go."
Zheton saluted Sumayu and said, "Aunt Sumayu, where did the prisoners escape to?"
Sumayu shook his head blankly, Zheden frowned, waved his hand, and ordered: "Pursue south, inform all the ministries that Chu people are escaping, and ask them to work together to pursue them."
The cavalry behind them urged their horses and chased south.
"Please!" Zheden looked very polite.
Xue Poye chuckled and suddenly said: "Little Shitou, you should understand the truth!"
"What?"
"Be a man...!" Xue Poye spat: "You have to be responsible!" dd
