"And then?"
Cheng Muyou asked with a sigh of relief.
Xu Ziming looked ahead, his eyes covered with a layer of mist, "The two monsters heard his voice and turned their heads at the same time, but when they saw the figure standing in the wind, they seemed to be startled, and then, they began to pull up the cliff wall with their sharp claws frantically, and the gravel fell one after another, and the gray smoke billowed out, like a gray waterfall, hanging straight down from the cliff face.
However, a smile full of indifference appeared on the man's face, and instead of retreating, he advanced, and his body slowly disappeared into the gravel formation that fell in front of him.
Seeing that the others were gone, the two monsters stopped moving, pricked up their ears, arched their backs high, and peeked down vigilantly, but between the light of the calcium carbide fire, they suddenly fell downward, as if they had been caught by something, and fell straight from the cliff wall into the back of the scattered and flying rubble. ” "That man killed Qi Qi and Han Qi?"
Xu Ziming nodded lightly, "There has been no movement under the cliff for half a day, and there is a pile of rocks more than a foot high in front of you, so everyone can't figure out the situation behind, and no one dares to go over easily."
The first emperor stood on the edge of the cliff, surrounded by all the soldiers and looked down cautiously, just when everyone's eyes were all focused on the pile of rocks, the stone pile suddenly exploded, and for a time the gravel splashed, and the wind and sand were all over the sky.
Everyone was so shocked that they were about to scatter and flee, but out of this gray smoke and dust came a long figure, it was the man in green clothes, he held a black fang in one hand, and a huge heart that was still beating in the other hand, walked briskly to the bottom of the cliff, looked up at the emperor, and the smile on his face was seven points proud and three points playful, "I said that I can help, now you believe it." ’” There was light and shadow in Cheng Muyou's eyes, "Who is that man, who is so powerful?"
” Xu Ziming laughed a few times, "Adults also say that he is supernatural, so how can his identity be easily exposed to others, but listening to what he said, it seems that he has a good relationship with the first emperor and is an old friend of the first emperor." ” Cheng Muyou lowered his head and smiled, "The first emperor has fought in the north and south since he was young, and he has traveled all over China, and it is not strange to be able to make friends with such strange people" Halfway through the words, the brilliance in his eyes suddenly disappeared, and the two clear eyes stared at the saddle motionlessly, as if they wanted to take a hole out of it.
"Strange man, is he the Qintian eunuch who knows astronomy and knows the solar term calendar?
Soon after the first emperor ascended the throne, he had been by his side, and he was his most loyal courtier, and now counting the time when that Qin Tianjian appeared, it was precisely after this battle. ” Seeing that Cheng Muyou had been silent for a long time, Jiang Xixi put his legs on the horse's back and leaned towards him slightly, "My lord, what are you thinking?"
” "It's just some old things," he said and looked forward, not far away, the shadow of a big mountain was hidden in the thin clouds, like a huge palm between heaven and earth, he stared into the distance, "Through this mountain, the front is Liaoyang, we have inquired about many ways along the way, and there is no news of Shi Fei Shijin, presumably the two of them have lost their traces near this Liaoyang County, let's hurry up, finish the mountain road during the day today, maybe we can reach Liaoyang before sunset." ” After saying that, he whipped his horse's buttocks and took the lead in running towards the barren mountain in front of him.
He didn't notice that when Xu Ziming saw this mountain, his face suddenly turned pale, as if he had been smeared with white ash.
A group of people walked on the winding mountain road for about two hours, and then came to the position halfway up the mountain, overlooking the foot, the white clouds were misty, looking around the peaks, and the clouds and mist were shrouded.
Cheng Muyou looked at the surrounding mountains and sighed: "Lingshan is beautiful, empty and watery.
There is still a lack of water here, so in the middle of summer, there is not much emerald color. ” Jiang Xixi answered on the side, "This mountain is bare, full of stones, it is not very beautiful, and along the way, I rarely hear the cries of birds and beasts, which is very boring. ” While chatting, the two officials who were exploring the road in front turned back, "My lord, there is a fork in the road ahead, but one of the roads is blocked by a big rock, so you can only go through the remaining valley." ” Cheng Muyou nodded, "Is the road in the valley easy to walk?"
” "It looks quite flat, and you can ride a horse."
"Then let's go through the valley, while it's still dark, let's go quickly, we should be able to reach Liaoyang County in another hour."
After speaking, he glanced at Xu Ziming behind him, "Brother Xu, can you still stand it?"
Hold on for a while, when we get to Liaoyang, let's find an inn to stay in, and I'll change the medicine for you. ” Xu Ziming's eyes flashed, "I'm out of the way, adults don't have to worry about me, let's just hurry up." ” "But you look pale, is the wound open again?"
Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden neighing of horses in front of him, and Cheng Muyou looked in the direction where the sound came from, his eyes blazing.
But after that sound, there was no other sound, and Jiang Xixi looked ahead vigilantly, "My lord, how can there be a horse barking in this deep mountain and old forest?"
Could it be the horse of history?
” Cheng Muyou stepped forward with a quick step, "Look at it, it's a pity, you protect Brother Xu, a few of you, you have to be more careful, although this place is deserted, but there is no guarantee that there will be thieves in ambush, everyone must not relax their vigilance." ” As he said, several people carefully observed the surrounding situation, and walked towards the misty valley in front of them, and as soon as their feet stepped on the bottom of the valley where there was no grass, they felt a chill climb up from the soles of their feet, and ran down their calves to every part of their bodies.
Jiang Xixi shivered, "Why is the temperature in this valley so low all of a sudden, and just now on the mountain road, I can still see the sun, how come as soon as I enter the valley, the sun runs behind the mountain."
While talking, she found that Xu Ziming, who was riding a horse and following her, had not moved for a long time, and just wanted to ask him what was wrong, but found that Xu Ziming was shrunk his shoulders, trembling up and down, and his face was white and blue, as if he had been greatly stimulated.
"Brother Xu, are you okay?"
Jiang Xixi led the horse and approached him, "Why is your body shaking so much, is it uncomfortable?"
” Xu Ziming looked at her and forced a smile from the corner of his mouth, "It's okay, the wound was involved, and it hurt a few times, don't worry, girl, let's hurry up." ” Jiang Xixi nodded worriedly, grabbed the reins of Xu Ziming's mount with one hand, and led the two horses forward.
However, after walking a few steps, the fog in front of him suddenly increased, like a blurred yarn, swirling towards a few people.
