Quyang City.
Shangguan Yan came out of the City Lord's Mansion and got on a carriage to the military camp.
It had been a day and a night since Gu Jiao set off for Pucheng. She wanted to see if Gu Jiao was back. In addition, the army of the imperial court was going to attack the remnants of Liang Guo’s army the day after tomorrow, so she went to the barracks more, which could be regarded as a boost to the spirit of the army.
Quyang City restored order.
Although the panic of the war still hangs over the heads of the common people, the common people are full of faith in the royal family and the court when they think that Dayan's granddaughter will go to war on behalf of the emperor.
The wheel of the car was screeching, and the body was swaying.
Shangguan Yanjing sat in the carriage without saying a word.
Huan'er appreciates the customs and customs of the border with great interest. She has never traveled far, and everything she sees is novel.
"Your Highness, the cakes they sell are so strange." Huan'er said while looking at Shangguan Yan on the seat.
Shangguan Yan didn't seem to hear what she said, and was out of her mind.
Huan'er slowly lowered the curtain, leaving only a narrow gap for the light of Wanjia's lights to penetrate.
She hesitated for a moment and asked softly, "Your Highness, are you thinking of that lord?"
"Huh?" Shangguan Yan returned consciousness, "What?"
"That lord... um... the father of His Highness the eldest grandson." Huan'er said.
As the confidant of the princess, Huan'er gradually won the trust of Shangguan Yan, knew the identities of Xiao Heng and Shangguan Qing, and also knew that the handsome man was the biological father of the two little princes.
Shangguan Yan said, "What do I want him to do?"
Huan'er said: "You came out so fast that night, like..."
run away.
These words, Huan'er held back.
Shangguan Yan murmured, "Quick? I feel like I've talked to him a lot."
Huan'er said bluntly: "That's because you are hiding from him, so you feel like every sentence is very long, but in fact, you didn't even ask each other if you were doing well all these years."
Huan'er is pure, not stupid. As an outsider, she sees it better than Shangguan Yan.
The two of them that night didn't even know how to face each other, and they were both dumbfounded.
The granddaughter was originally going to live in the military camp, and the reason why she moved into the City Lord's Mansion was to avoid the adult.
Shangguan Yan lowered her eyes, lightly adjusted her sleeves, and said, "What's there to ask? Well, that's all."
Huan'er was silent for a while, and then asked, "Then, do you still like him?"
Shangguan Yan sat up straight, as if she was talking to Huan'er, and as if she was saying to herself, "I am Dayan's princess, and I will not fall in love with any man."
After the carriage arrived at the barracks, Shangguan Yan first asked the guards at the gate, and when she learned that Gu Jiao had not returned, she went straight to the place where the soldiers were fighting and training.
Huan'er watched as her daughter-in-law and the adult's tent went further and further away.
"Shangguanyan!"
But in the end it couldn't be avoided.
Xuanping Hou walked over with strides.
Shangguan Yan's expression paused for a while, as if hesitant, and then continued to walk forward with no expression on his face.
Marquis Xuanping caught up with her and blocked her path. He glanced at her paradoxically and said with narrowed eyes, "Shangguanyan, are you hiding from this Marquis?"
Shangguan Yan looked at the soldiers who were fighting and training in the dark, and said calmly: "Hide you? Don't think too much about yourself, what do you have to hide alone?"
Marquis Xuanping said with disbelief: "Then you slipped so fast that night, living like that."
Shangguan Yan said indifferently, "Who made you so annoying?"
"Okay, okay, this Marquis is annoying." Xuanping Marquis put his hands behind his back and looked at her casually, "Just tell Ben Marquis where Ben Marquis' son is, and Ben Marquis will never bother you again."
Shangguan Yan snorted: "Didn't your son go to Cangxueguan to negotiate with the army of Chen Guo?"
Marquis Xuanping said, "You know that Marquis is not referring to this son."
Shangguan Yan sneered and said, "Yes, you Xiao Ji are romantic and merciful everywhere, but you are not only A Heng's son."
Marquis Xuanping gave her a deep look, and said meaningfully, "Shangguanyan, aren't you jealous?"
Shangguan Yan said sternly: "Gu is the concubine, and there are three thousand men in the harem. Will Gu eat your vinegar?"
"That's the best."
Shangguan Yan glared at him coldly and walked forward with a cold expression.
Marquis Xuanping took a step to stop her, with a serious look in his eyes, which was very different from his usual sloppy appearance: "Where is Xiao Qing?"
Shangguan Yan turned her face away and looked at the array in front: "If you want to know the whereabouts of your son, use Chu Feipeng in exchange."
Xuanping Hou laughed angrily: "Chu Feipeng, right? Okay, here it is."
After that, he smiled and said, "Where is Ben Hou's son?"
Shangguan Yan squeezed her fingers and said solemnly: "Qing'er is in a villa near Shengdu. When the situation stabilizes, I will pick him up."
…
"Damn it!"
On the other side, in the ghost mountain in Pucheng, Min Hongyi and his subordinates searched in the woods, but a bunch of big men got lost.
A soldier pointed to the knife mark on the big tree beside him and said, "General Min! Here is the mark we just made! We're back on the same path again!"
Min Hong frowned.
The sense of direction is not too bad for those who lead troops to fight, but I don’t know what’s going on in this forest. The trees all look the same, the sun in the sky has set, and the moon and Chang Geng star have not come out. It’s really hard to identify the direction. .
Just relying on experience to walk forward, it is reasonable to say that you can go out, but when you walk, you return to the same place.
What a bloody hell!
Swish!
A soldier suddenly felt a shadow on the side flash past quickly, he turned his head abruptly: "Who!"
However, only a dark and silent forest came into view.
"Fifth, what's the matter with you?" The companion patted his arm amusingly, "You're so nervous, you won't be so timid, right?"
Another companion also smiled and said, "Yeah, is there really a ghost here called Ghost Mountain? Even if this is the case, why should we be afraid of ghosts and gods when we follow Master Min?"
These words came to Min Hongyi's heart.
That's right, he, Min Hong, is not afraid of one day or the earth. He can kill the sky above and exorcise evil spirits below. What kind of shit ghost mountain? It's just a rumor made up by a group of timid people, why fear it!
The weirdness in Min Hong's heart was dispelled, but he wondered if his courage frightened the world, and even the dark clouds above his head were blown away by the cold wind.
As soon as the moon came out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the world.
Unexpectedly, this breath has not been relieved, and a soldier's scream came from behind the team: "Xiao Luo is gone! He was still talking to me just now! Suddenly... suddenly disappeared!"
Everyone's heart sank, and Min Hong held the saber at his waist with a cold look: "Five people in a group, walk together!"
The Jin soldiers put away their weapons one after another and held each other's arms, so it was safe. After all, five of them would never disappear together.
…
"Hey, girl, how long do we have to go?"
Tang Yueshan, who was scared to death by the ghost, sat back on his horse with a calm expression, and said that he did that just to protect her, not because he was afraid!
"It's almost time." Gu Jiao said, "There should be a cave ahead. Let's go to the cave for a night."
Gu Jiao's familiarity with the terrain of the border is outrageous, and Tang Yueshan only thought that she had done her homework in advance and memorized all the maps.
Tang Yueshan clenched the reins and sighed: "Speaking of which, we have been in Pucheng for a day, and we haven't met Lao Gu yet. Where do you think he went? Could it be that he is going to the military camp? Gongsun Yu is also going today. After leaving the barracks, Lao Gu wouldn't be so unlucky to happen to meet Gongsun Yu?"
"Hey, girl, why don't you speak?"
"Anyway, you squeak..."
Tang Yueshan turned his head to look at Gu Jiao resentfully, but what he saw was an empty forest, and all his voices were stuck in his throat.
…
It started to fog up in the woods.
No more moonlight overhead.
When the reference object is lost, the sense of direction of the person will be weakened.
The Black Wind King is a brave and skilled horse, but he did not grow up in the jungle.
This is also an extremely unfamiliar environment for the Black Wind King.
Gu Jiao found out that the two of them were separated earlier than Tang Yueshan, but she couldn't shout loudly, otherwise it would be uncertain whether Tang Yueshan or the Jin army would be brought in first.
"This place is a bit unusual."
Gu Jiao looked around.
She had no basis, just an instinct trained in danger.
call out!
A dark shadow flashed behind her.
Gu Jiao's ears moved, but her expression did not change at all.
She motioned for the Batu King to continue walking.
call out!
Another figure flashed behind her.
Gu Jiao still didn't stop.
One person and one horse move forward calmly.
shhhhhh!
Those figures seemed to be irritated, flashing back and forth, trying to arouse Gu Jiao's fear.
Gu Jiao didn't lift her eyelids.
"Jie Jie, the living people of our Ghost Mountain are so powerful this time... You see he's not afraid... His horses aren't afraid either... "
"I'm going to eat his horse..."
"Fool, where can anyone eat a horse? I've been in the underworld, I haven't smelled a living person for too long... It's really fragrant..."
"Tonight, the gate of hell is closed, and the Lord of Hell is here. We little devils can also taste the taste of living people... Jie Jie..."
kid
really.
Gu Jiao didn't seem to hear these terrifying conversations, and continued to walk deeper into the jungle with the Black Wind King.
Before taking two steps, a large net suddenly fell from the top of her head.
Gu Jiao slammed out the whip from her waist and hit it in a certain direction in the night. The whip made a crackling sound in the air!
At almost the same moment, a pale figure was swept in by Gu Jiao's whip.
Gu Jiao tied him to the horse's back with his backhand.
The big net fell, Gu Jiao raised her hand and grabbed it, throwing the big net away!
This kind of worm-carving trick is reluctant to deal with a little guy like Tang Yueshan who is afraid of ghosts, but she is not afraid of ghosts.
Gu Jiao looked at Xiao Xiao who was lying on her horse's back... Xiao Hei is impermanent
She asked, "Who are you?"
Whoa!
The rest of the figures in the woods scattered in a hurry, escaping without a trace.
With a big long tongue in his mouth, Xiao Hei Wu Chang struggled and said, "I am Hei Wu Chang! You can't offend me! His Highness the Ghost King will eat you!"
Really called black impermanence.
Gu Jiao flicked his forehead.
Xiao Hei Wuchang was played so loudly, "Ouch!"
Gu Jiao said, "Are ghosts afraid of pain?"
Xiao Hei Wuchang was dumbfounded for a while, spit out the long tongue that was in the way of his mouth, and said in a sincere tone: "I'm still young, you are an adult, you have too much yang energy on your body, you will burn my body if you touch me, That's why I called!"
After he finished speaking, he stuck his tongue back again.
It was quite logical, and Gu Jiao gave him a compliment in her heart.
"How old are you?" Gu Jiao asked.
"Seven years old."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Hei Wuchang regretted it, and he quickly changed his words, "Seven hundred years old!"
The corners of Gu Jiao's mouth twitched, and she said solemnly, "I'll give you two choices, one, take me to see your king."
"It's the ghost king!" Xiao Hei Wuchang pulled out his long tongue, and said fiercely, "His Royal Highness, the supreme ghost king in the underworld! He has supreme divine power! He can eat... eat a hundred big living people like you!"
"It's all the same." Gu Jiao waved her hand indifferently, "Second, hand over my companion."
Little Black Impermanence said: "We didn't catch your companion!"
Gu Jiao said lightly, "It seems that you want to choose the first one."
Xiao Hei Wuchang hummed, "You are not qualified to see our Ghost King! Our Ghost King—ah—"
Halfway through his words, Gu Jiao grabbed him violently, and he screamed in fright.
An arrow stuck to the saddle, shot past the place where he had just lied down, and nailed it into the big tree beside him.
The arrow's tail feathers swayed and cast a phantom, which shows how powerful it is. If it wasn't for Gu Jiao's quick reaction, Xiao Hei Wuchang would have been shot into a human skewer.
Xiao Hei Wu Chang was frightened and lost his voice.
Gu Jiao put him back on the saddle and looked coldly at the group of people walking towards him.
It was none other than the Jin army who chased and killed them all the way.
To Gu Jiao's surprise, the leader was not Xie Xingzhou, but Min Hongyi.
If Xie Xingzhou came, he could still talk to him, but Min Hongyi, like Gongsun Yu, was an out-and-out war madman.
Min Hong's smile broke: "So you and these guys who pretend to be ghosts are in the same group, I said that you are not going anywhere, why did you escape here?"
Gu Jiao calmly met his sharp and oppressive gaze, and said, "He has nothing to do with me, let him go."
"Let him go, and then go to the rescue? Are you stupid to be a general!" After Min Hong finished speaking coldly, he took the bow and arrow directly from his subordinate's hand, and shot the arrow at the little black impermanence in Gu Jiao's arms!
Heifeng Wang suddenly jumped forward, dodging the arrow.
Min Hong shot another arrow, but Gu Jiao whipped him into the air.
Min Hong was furious, he threw the bow and arrow, pulled out the big knife from his waist, and said fiercely, "Okay, then the general will kill you with his own hands!"
He's still a little enemy of me, and I might be able to take advantage of this opportunity...
Gu Jiao didn't move, she looked dumbfounded by his imposing manner, and when Min Hong flew up, the long knife was about to land on Gu Jiao's head.
Gu Jiao slammed the whip in her hand, wrapped around the handle of his knife, and threw his long knife out!
The knife is in the man.
Min Hongyi was also thrown away along with him!
Min Hongyi did carelessly underestimate the enemy. This kid looked very young, and he had no inner strength when he shot, and he was more than enough to use only one success.
As a result, it was knocked out!
Min Hong turned into anger as soon as he was ashamed, pointed his toes, leveraged on the tree trunk, and steadied his body with a somersault, again holding the knife and slashing at Gu Jiao!
This knife is not a knife to underestimate the enemy.
Gu Jiao had to get out of the way, otherwise the strength of their fight would hurt the child and the Black Wind King.
"You sit still!"
Gu Jiao got off the horse, stepped forward and took a few steps, wrapping Min Hongyi's waist with a whip.
This kid's strength actually entangled me... Min Hong frowned, surprised at the strength of Gu Jiao's arms, and at the same time a huge excitement surged in his heart.
Such an opponent is interesting to kill, isn't it
Min Hong sneered and slashed at Gu Jiao's whip.
The whip was cut off, and due to inertia, Gu Jiao took a few steps back.
Nine years later, she had absolute strength to kill Min Hongyi, but now, Min Hongyi is a big trouble.
Min Hong raised his head and laughed loudly: "Boy, what else do you have?"
Gu Jiao said, "I'm so powerful, are you really willing to kill me?"
Min Hong was stunned.
Gu Jiao persevered and persuaded: "It's better to take me back and dedicate it to you Gongsun Yu. With me helping you, you will definitely be able to compete with Xie Xingzhou."
This kid is a rare thing to build, if really—
call out!
Gu Jiao waved her backhand and shot the Tanghua needle in her hand!
Min Hongyi is a strong martial artist, but unfortunately his brain is not as good as Xie Xingzhou, no wonder he is always crushed by Xie Xingzhou.
Min Hongyi resisted with a knife, but he was still a step too late, and a Tanghua needle shot him in the abdomen!
The needles are poisonous!
Min Hong hurriedly tapped the big acupoint in the wound to prevent the toxin from spreading.
"Boy, you really pissed me off! I wanted to give you a good time, but now I've changed my mind! I'm going to cut off your hands, your bones, and your head. !"
"Wow—" Xiao Hei Wuchang was directly frightened and cried.
Min Hongyi was in a fit of rage. The cry of the child made him extremely annoyed. He slashed at Xiao Hei's impermanent head!
He slashed head-on, no matter whether Heifeng Wang advanced or retreated, Xiao Hei Impermanence would be hit by the knife.
It's so abominable, even the children are not spared!
It's not wrong to be cut off by the air!
Gu Jiao's eyes moved, she flew, and flew Xiao Hei Wu Chang from the horse's back. She hugged Xiao Hei Wu Chang and rolled several times on the overgrown ground.
Min Hongyi took the opportunity to slash the second knife, and the speed was so fast that Gu Jiao, who was holding the child, had no way to escape!
Are you going to… die here
Gu Jiao wanted to live, but there was only one way—throw the child in her arms to block the knife.
Gu Jiao didn't do that.
Keng!
Something hit Min Hongyi's blade, Min Hongyi's long knife was missed, and his entire arm was numb.
"Who!"
He turned his head and looked angrily into the depths of the night.
In the mist, a man dressed in a dark robe and a mask of a hundred ghosts was sitting on a foothold carried by the eighteen ghosts, slowly coming towards them.
The tulle of the step-by-step dance was blown by the night wind, and there was an inexplicable breath of ghosts walking in the dark forest.
A slender white hand exposed under his wide sleeves rested lightly on the armrest. The joints were distinct and delicate like jade, but it was too white, which made it a bit more sinister.
In front of him, there were two people dressed in black and white.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew up at night, blowing the whole forest gloomy.
The Jin soldiers glanced at each other, and almost involuntarily took two steps back.
Min Hong scolded disdainfully: "Who are you! Don't play tricks in front of this general!"
"Pretend, god, trick, ghost?"
The man's thin lips twitched, he held the armrest with a chuckle, and stood up.
It's just a simple get up, but the branches around it move automatically without the wind.
It seemed that the Specter on the tree was responding to him fearfully and reverently.
Jin Jun's heart is even more hairy.
They looked up at the dark branches above their heads. Couldn't there be a ghost on the tree
"Bleeding! Tree, tree, tree bleeding!"
A Jin army shouted.
All the surrounding trees began to bleed, and a thick bloody smell permeated the entire forest.
This is not the end, the birds in the forest seem to be unable to withstand the invasion of death, one by one fell down, and for a while, the ground is covered with the bodies of birds.
You Jinjun was so frightened that he fell to the ground!
Xiao Hei Wuchang stuck his head out of Gu Jiao's arms, pointed at Min Hongyi, and cried loudly, "His Royal Highness the Ghost King! He is a bad guy! He wants to kill me!"
He didn't dare to run over, he was worried that Min Hong would slash one by one when he ran halfway, and after he finished speaking, he retracted into Gu Jiao's arms.
What a cowardly little black.
The man's dangerous gaze fell on Min Hongyi, then he took a step forward and stepped on the guardrail with one foot carelessly.
A fierce and domineering aura suddenly erupted around him!
Gu Jiao: Why do you feel that this stingy aura is a little familiar? Reminds me of someone.
The man said lightly: "Dare to come to my Ghost King's territory to kill the kid under my seat, you are not too timid, trespassing on the Ghost Mountain is a capital offense, but now the crime is added one more level, it's better to... skin you alive and make a human lantern."
The Jin army shivered in unison!
This guy is too capable of shaking the hearts of the army, and he can't let pretending to be a ghost anymore!
Otherwise, before the war begins, his subordinates will be scared away first!
Min Hong shouted loudly, "Don't bluff here! With just your few remnants of defeated generals, can you stop my five hundred Jin army?"
"How many?" The corner of the man's lips twitched and he waved his wide sleeves, "You little devils, come out, the gates of hell are closed tonight, and all the living are yours!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Min Hong noticed something was wrong. He looked around and saw a large group of ghost soldiers in armor appearing from the trees, hillsides, and forests!
Min Hong's expression suddenly changed: "This is—"
The man said coldly, "Three thousand ghost soldiers! Kill them and leave none of them!"
