Chapter 265: A critical moment

Views:

Su Lianqing hid in a dense bush and peeked at a house. After observing for a long time, she couldn't help but grin, opened a big cloth bag, licked her lips, stuck out her tongue, and blew a strange whistle, like a snake spitting out a message.

Suddenly, dozens of venomous snakes of different colors and sizes slipped out of the bag, crawled out of the bag one after another, and swam around excitedly as if they had taken stimulants. He stared at Su Lianqing, as if he was a loyal subordinate who was following instructions.

"Hehe, let's go, my darlings!" Su Lianqing laughed mischievously and a bit evilly, and said to herself, "I haven't used this skill for a few days. I'm such a charming lady. The title is not for nothing, playing with poisons is my special skill!”

The poisonous snakes seemed to be possessed, listening to the strange whistle blowing from Su Lianqing's mouth, and flocked towards the house. Dozens of venomous snakes were crowded together, charging forward like soldiers in battle.

"Hey, you guys will feel better! Qin Mubai, Qin Mubai, you'll be fine if you get bitten a few times, but don't be strangled to death, otherwise I won't be able to save you." Su Lianqing curled her lips. , It's quite a bit of taking pleasure in others' misfortune.

Zan Junmo, Liang Mengbiao and others were crowding around the window to watch the show, laughing loudly. One of them looked back inadvertently, and was suddenly so frightened that he jumped three feet high, patted his thigh and yelled: "Ah! snake!"

"Shut up, what's all the fuss about snakes...ah, my mother, why are there so many snakes!"

Zan Junmo and others were shocked. When they turned around, they were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweat!

Dozens of venomous snakes rushed towards this direction as if they were crazy. Judging from the situation, they were not just passing by, they were clearly here to fight!

"Evil!"

All the men are usually considered to be bold people, and it is not a problem to commit murder and arson. But facing so many poisonous cold-blooded beasts, they really felt a little scared!

"What should I do?" several men asked in shock, their voices trembling a little. The group of snakes were already two or three feet away, and you could almost see the fangs and snakes in their mouths.

"Knives, we have knives!"

After all, Zan Junmo and Liang Mengbiao were bolder and still the leaders. After a shout, the two men emboldened themselves, rushed forward with their swords, and cut off a flying venomous snake with the handle.

Cut in two, the snake's body fell to the ground and twisted and writhed. The snake's blood spattered on them, and there was a fishy cold air.

The snakes smelled the fishy, cold-bloody smell, and became even more furious. They rushed towards them while spitting out messages, and several bamboo leaves jumped up in the air, like flying arrows, and landed directly on them, opening their mouths to bite them.

"Ah-wow!!!"

"I was bitten!"

"Help! Run away!"

Several grown men were so frightened that they screamed. They were really helpless in the face of such cold-blooded and cruel beasts!

"Run away!!!"

The killer sisters who were undressing Qin Mubai in the room heard screams like ghosts crying and wolves suddenly coming from outside the room, and couldn't help but froze in fear. The two of them jumped out of bed neatly, quickly put on their clothes and grabbed the sword on the wall.

Qin Mubai was lying on the bed, listening to people secretly gathering strength from all directions, and thinking in his heart: Will someone come to save me? If I have the chance, I will knock these two girls down with one blow and wait for an opportunity to escape!

The two female killers seemed to have thought about what Qin Mubai was thinking. One of them drew his sword out of its sheath and pointed it at his throat, saying coldly: "Don't even think about it!"

Qin Mubai looked astonished: "What have I been thinking about? You have made me so nervous that I burn myself to death. What else can I think about now?"

"Shut up if you want to live!" He shouted sternly, and the sword in the woman's hand tightened a little more. Qin Mubai felt that his throat was so painful that it almost broke the skin. He had no choice but to curl his lips and tilt his neck back, and said no more.

At this moment, there was suddenly another harsh "buzzing" sound in the air, and the screams of the men outside the house became even louder.

The two killer sisters' eyes widened in astonishment. One of them walked to the window and looked outside, and his face turned pale with fright: "Oh my god! Why are there so many venomous snakes! - Sister, it's venomous wasps! What a huge swarm of venomous wasps!"

"Hurry up and close the window!"

The two women were so frightened that they hurriedly closed the door and closed the window. But it's too late, two poisonous snakes have already come in, opening their mouths to bite!

Although they are killers, they are still women. I am not afraid of things like murder, but I have a natural instinctive fear of things like snakes, rats, insects, and ants!

Suddenly, the two women screamed in fright, almost forgetting that they had martial arts skills, but relying on their instincts, they swung their swords randomly and chopped the two unlucky poisonous snakes into minced meat.

Qin Mubai was lying on the bed with no strength to move. Seeing this scene, he was frightened and gasped for air! —What’s the point of talking to these beasts? They don't distinguish between friend and foe! If he pounces on me and bites me twice, will I stop belching? !

At this time, Qin Mubai saw several poisonous bees sneaking in through the gaps in the wooden walls of the simple house. He shouted loudly: "You are still stunned! Be careful of the poisonous bees!"

"Wow!!"

The two sisters screamed in fright, picked up a jar full of hot water and threw it at the gap. With a bang, the urn broke into pieces and hot water splashed everywhere. It didn't kill a few poisonous bees, but it seemed to have angered the remaining ones. They flapped their wings and suddenly attacked the sisters!

"Holy shit, it's going to kill me!" Qin Mubai yelled in fright, and he didn't know where he got the strength to pull the quilt and wrap himself tightly, not daring to leave any gaps.

The two sisters were stung several times each and cried out in pain. At a glance, they saw Qin Mubai curled up like an ostrich on the bed. The two of them understood and hurriedly jumped on the bed to grab the quilt, trying to get under the quilt desperately.

"Holy shit, don't pull it! The quilt is so small, all three of us will be stung to death in a moment!"

"Then don't move!"

"Okay, hold me tightly and don't move around. The quilt must be wrapped tightly - oh my god! I got stung on my butt, it hurts like hell! Slap it to death!"

"Uuuu, I've been stung too, sister, please wrap it up tighter!"

"It's my fault! I was stung too! Where did all these beasts come from!"

The three people struggled together in the bed, and in the end they were almost hugging each other tightly with their mouths tightly wrapped in the quilt, not daring to leave any gaps. A group of venomous horse snakes landed outside the quilt, making a buzzing sound, which frightened the three of them so much that they did not dare to move at all.

"We are going to suffocate and die soon!" Qin Mubai gasped as he felt short of breath.

"Don't talk!"

"What are you afraid of? Wasps can't understand human speech!"

"Anyway, you are not allowed to speak, or I will strangle you to death! Throw you out, and we sisters will have an easier time!"

"Sure enough, even a wasp's tail needle cannot poison a woman's heart!"

"Sister, throw him out! Let him be stung and we will be saved!"

"If you hurt me, we can't explain it to our employer, right?...Okay, don't do it, I won't talk about me, I'll shut up!"

Su Lianqing walked out of the bushes, playing with a strange piccolo made of metal in his hand, swinging it magically and vividly. She couldn't help but feel proud when she saw Zan Junmo's group of reckless men running away like dogs with their tails cut off.

"My darlings, you are so capable, haha!" She laughed loudly and picked up the piccolo to play a few times. A swarm of poisonous wasps gathered from all directions, hovered above her head for a while, and then flew away.

"Hey, I hope Qin Mubai didn't get strangled to death by a snake or stung into a pig's head, otherwise Wu Meiniang will definitely not let me go." She muttered a few words to herself with a weird laugh, then turned around and shouted to the back: "Okay , come out and clean up the mess!"

Several hundred cavalry soldiers ran out with thirty or forty soldiers of Prince Wu's Mansion. They couldn't help but feel frightened and had goosebumps. They exclaimed: "Sister Su, your... darlings, are they all gone?"

"Oh, the poisonous wasps have gone home to eat, and there are still some poisonous snakes chasing those savage men. Don't worry, you have the potion I applied on you, and my babies will not bully you." Su Lian Qing chuckled and said, "Go and save your General Qin!"

"Okay!" Several hundred knights happily agreed and raised their hands, "Brothers, follow me!"

Qin Mubai and the other three people who were curled up in bed had already heard the noise outside the house, but they still didn't dare to show their heads. There were big blisters on their bodies where they had just been stung. It hurt like hell. They were really afraid of those poisonous wasps.

"Haha, my brothers are here to save me. Please let me go!" Qin Mubai laughed.

"You're so lucky, you're just laughing! We want to let you go, but do you dare to go out?"

"Uh!... That's right! Then keep doing this! In fact, it's quite good this way. Both of you feel good and have good flexibility." After that, Qin Mubai's hands were quite dishonest compared to the two of them. He pinched his butt hard twice.

"court death!"

"Don't move! Otherwise, the quilt will get ripped, and wasps will get in!"

A group of soldiers entered the room very cautiously. When they saw several people writhing under the same quilt and making vague noises, they couldn't help but be dumbfounded and looked at each other in confusion.

After a long time, a Baiqi asked carefully: "General Qin, are you in there?"

"Yes, yes, I'm here! Come and save me!"

The sergeants were even more astonished. Several of them stepped forward, grabbed the quilt, and tried hard to pull it - but it couldn't be pulled!

"It's quite tight! Use hard!"

All the soldiers shouted and pulled hard, and the three people were pulled over with their quilts and fell to the ground.

"Oh, my waist, my waist! It's broken!" Qin Mubai was the first to land, and the two women fell on top of him, pressing against his waist|buttocks.

The sergeants were alert and immediately put their swords on the necks of the two female killers. But when I saw the scene in front of me, I was a little surprised and funny.

"Uh... General!" The sergeants were dumbfounded and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. They had to ask cautiously, "What... what's going on?"

Qin Mubai looked around nervously with lingering fear, and suddenly let out a long breath, then became a little angry: "Why didn't you say anything about the wasp's departure? Bastard!"

"Yes, I know my fault for being humble!" Several Baiqi hurriedly clasped their fists and confessed. Seeing that the two women were still pressing on Qin Mubai with surprised and confused faces, they asked carefully: "General, these two yes… "

"Didn't you see that they were pressing on me and breaking my waist? Of course they are assassins, why don't they take them down!" Qin Mubai shouted angrily, "Pull me up!"

"Yes Yes!"

Only then did the soldiers come to their senses, and they took down the two women and tied them up, and then pulled Qin Mubai in from the ground.

"Ouch, it really hurts!" Qin Mubai touched his butt and grinned, shouting that it hurt. His waist was not seriously injured, but he had just been stung by a wasp and had a big blister on his butt. The pain was now excruciating.

At this time, Su Lianqing walked to the window and said with a smile: "Hey, General Qin is so beautiful! Even if you are imprisoned, you can have such a beautiful female assassin to play with you on the bedside!"

"Bitch, it's you!" When the two female assassins saw that it was Su Lianqing, they were furious. "You old witch, you're not dead yet!"

"Hey, you two killer sisters, you never thought you would fall into my hands one day, right? I'm definitely not as good as you in terms of martial arts. But in terms of brains, I'm much better than you!" Su Lianqing said proudly. After laughing for a while, he said to Qin Mubai, "General Qin, have you been bitten by a snake or stung by a bee?"

"I got stung." Qin Mubai said with a grimace and annoyance.

"Why don't you quickly suck out the poisonous needle and apply the secret medicine I prepared to stop the poison. Otherwise, this little poisonous wasp may be able to maim and kill people!" Su Lianqing said.

"Then why don't you come in and help me!" Qin Mubai shouted angrily.

When the killer sisters heard Su Lianqing's words, they were so frightened that they looked at Qin Mubai with a troubled face and begged in a low voice: "General Qin, we sisters have shared the same adversity with you. Even though we are enemies, we are not enemies." It’s difficult for you, and we are just hired by others. How about asking you to seek medicine for us?”

"Don't worry, I will ask her to save you even if you don't tell me. Because you are important witnesses and you can't die now." Qin Mubai said.

At this time, Su Lianqing came into the room, took out a bottle of medicine, waved it in his hand, and said, "Where is the bite? You have to suck out the poisonous bee's sting first. Most people don't have this skill." , only I am proficient.”

Qin Mubai suddenly laughed strangely and pointed to his butt: "It's right here, start now!"

"Go to hell! I won't suck in that place!" Su Lianqing suddenly became angry and pointed at a Hundred Cavalry soldier, "You, suck your general's ass! Hurry up, otherwise he may die!"

"Uh!" The sergeant looked embarrassed, "Well, isn't that good?"

"What's wrong? Aren't you always loyal to your general?" Su Lianqing scolded.

"This, this..." The sergeant was suddenly speechless.

"What the hell!" Su Lianqing scolded angrily, "I asked you to give those two girls drug injections. You must be okay with it, right?"

"Uh... I didn't say that." The sergeant glanced at the two female killers and couldn't help but laugh.

"We suck! Just teach us!" the killer sisters said in unison without hesitation.

Qin Mubai was angry and funny, and scolded the sergeant in a dumbfounded voice: "You unloyal thing, let's see how I deal with you when I get back! - Okay, it's the same for everyone, you have to hurry up! I have to hurry up and go to Xihetrough Woolen cloth!"

At this moment, in the newly opened large river channel of the West River Channel.

Prince Li Chengqian was wearing a royal robe and a royal robe. He stood on the bow of the Shenyu spaceship and looked around, feeling quite high-spirited. Li Ke, Li Daozong, Li You, Xiao Yu, and other civil and military officials stood behind him, admiring the scenery in the Han River channel together.

"Your Highness, this river is a large river that Qin Mubai and Li Ke dug out in just two months with a lot of effort and a lot of manpower and material resources. What do you think?" Li Daozong pointed in all directions and said, "It is said that Previously, there were many rivers and forks here, which could only accommodate a boat with a width of one person. Generally, unfamiliar boats would get lost if they came in. Now, such a huge Shenyu spaceship can travel unimpeded and can reach Yangdi directly. It’s such a miraculous feat!”

"Oh, it turns out that the third brother and Qin Mu spent so much effort in vain? They are really commendable!" Li Chengqian said, "After I return to the court, I should report to my father and ask for credit for the two of them. By the way. "Why don't you see Qin Mubai today?"

Everyone was stunned, but Li Daozong was calm and said casually: "Qin Mubai, as the captain of Xiangzhou, must be responsible for martial law and garrison in such critical days. Now maybe he should be clearing the way for the prince in front, but in maintaining Yang. The order of the imperial mausoleum! There is no need for him to participate in the sacrifice, there is always something he should be busy with."

"Oh, that's right." Li Chengqian nodded casually and stopped asking about the matter.

Li You, who was behind the two of them, breathed a sigh of relief quietly. I had prepared a lot of excuses and rhetoric for a long time, but it was saved.

The divine fish spacecraft continued to move forward, and soon arrived at Shizi Slope.

Now, it has been renovated. What used to be a bare rocky slope has become a place with a quiet environment and the fragrance of birds and flowers. Because a lot of new soil was carried to cover it, the area of this place has expanded. Moreover, such a grand ceremony is a public court event and is open to the outside world. Therefore, many tourists watching the excitement poured in from various harbor channels. At this time, there were many large and small boats parked around, and many people gathered around the wall of Yangdi Mausoleum, waiting to watch the excitement. .

There were quite a lot of heads in the darkness. Nearly a thousand soldiers and soldiers from Prince Wu's palace were maintaining security at the scene and controlling the ships. It was really spectacular when you looked at it.

The prince's ship docked, and people all over the island began to shout for a thousand years. Li Chengqian and others landed one after another and walked to the altar of Emperor Yangdi's mausoleum.

Li You's expression became tense, and he kept looking at the crowd around him with his eyes. Inside, there were more than ten killers sent by him. As long as he touches his ear with his right hand three times in a row, it is equivalent to giving a secret signal, and they will take action.

The group of people, led by the prince and led by several armored guards from the East Palace, walked towards the altar.

Every time he took a step closer, Li You's heartbeat accelerated a little, and even his breathing became rapid. His eyes unconsciously stared at the head of Li Chengqian who was wearing a crown, and he began to imagine in his mind: What if he was pierced by a sword? What would happen if someone cut off his chest or cut off his head

"You'er, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Li Daozong suddenly slowed down a few steps and stopped next to Li You and asked.

Li You was frightened and said hurriedly: "It's okay. Maybe I didn't sleep well last night. I caught a cold and felt uncomfortable." After that, Li You coughed a few times.

"After the ceremony, you should go back and rest early." Li Daozong smiled kindly, nodded meaningfully, and said seriously, "Take care!"

"Uh... yes. Thank you, Uncle Emperor, for your care." Li You's heart beat: What does this old guy mean

At this time, everyone had arrived in front of the altar, stopped and stood up according to their shifts. Li Daozong came to the front and began to preside over the ceremony.

The tourists and common people present were all ten feet away, looking patiently at Li Daozong and others, preparing to observe the grand event.

At this time, Li Daozong took a sacrificial essay written by Xiao Yu from Xiao Yu and prepared to unroll it and read it aloud, which heralded the beginning of the sacrificial ceremony. But he unrolled the scroll very slowly, but his eyes were staring at Li You intentionally or unintentionally, making him feel scared for a while.

Several times, Li You wanted to reach out and touch his ears, and the killer who was hiding in the crowd was about to jump out, but he was so uneasy that he hid his hand in his sleeve and did not stretch it out.

Of course he knew what the consequences would be and what it would mean if he raised his arm.

In just a moment, the fate of the entire Tang Dynasty may change. Li You's life will change. The fate of his sister, mother, uncle, and all related people will also undergo earth-shaking changes!

Is it bad or bad? no one knows!

A critical moment, hanging by a hair—

At this moment, Li You felt that his arm seemed to be weighing ten thousand kilograms, making it difficult for him to lift it. Because of this, his two hands shrunk in Dayun's sleeves began to tremble, and layers of cold sweat overflowed...

Li Daozong finally spread out the sacrificial scroll and began to read it aloud.

Xiao Yu has always been famous for his literary talent and knowledge. This memorial poem was filled with magnificent words, full of literary talent, eloquent and majestic. Coupled with the recital by Li Daozong's energetic and magnetic middle-aged man's voice, everyone present was intoxicated.

Li You saw that everyone's attention was gradually shifting to Li Daozong, and he began to work hard to calm himself down. He glanced at the crowd and saw that the assassins were looking at him and waiting for his order.

Gritting his teeth fiercely, he closed his eyes and hesitated. Finally, he slowly raised his heavy right arm, stretched out his trembling right hand, and slowly touched his ear...

"Your Majesty, where is your itch? How about letting me come and scratch it for you?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind Li You.

Although it was as short as a whisper, it almost scared Li You to the ground!

He looked back in shock, his eyes almost bursting out of his sockets with fright, and he almost jumped up in shock!

Qin Mubai!
