Su Li closed her eyes helplessly, and it turned out to be Yang Xiao! He had appeared before as a holy envoy of the Saintess Cult, so it was not surprising that he would appear here now, but why did he come at this time? !
Yang Xiao leaned over and looked at her carefully. He pulled her with surprise and surprise and shouted, "It's really you! It's great that you're not dead! It's just that you made me sad in vain." After these few months, you have to stay with my little sweetheart!"
We haven't seen him for a few months, but he is still so dishonest. Su Li opened her eyes and looked at him coldly.
It seemed that only then did she remember that her acupuncture points were restricted, and she quickly stretched out her fingers. The conflicting Qi in Su Li's body made her almost roll to the ground in pain. She quickly lucked out, but couldn't control it for a moment, and cold sweat rolled down her smooth forehead.
Yang Xiao saw the clues, his face was condensed, and without thinking, he immediately sat cross-legged opposite her, and quickly raised his palms to touch hers. Through the contact between his palms, a steady stream of power helped her calm down the crazily flowing zhenqi in her body.
.
After a cup of tea, Su Li's expression finally returned to normal, but Yang Xiao was sweating profusely. Withdrawing his power, he exhaled heavily, glanced at the lifeless Jingwan on the ground, and then said in surprise: " Jing Zuo Shi actually passed all his skills to you! No wonder she died! Now, little Ah Li, you owe me another favor. How are you going to repay it?" He tilted his head and looked at her, with a young and handsome face. He smiled very treacherously.
Su Li was not in the mood to joke with him, so she bent down and picked up Jingwan, glanced at him lightly, turned around and left.
Yang Xiao's eyes darkened slightly, he stopped her and said with a smile: "Where are you going? Did you promise before that you would come with me to see my father when the Li Su case is over? For this agreement, I helped you, and you didn't do anything after you came back. Don't get scolded by your father! Since you are here today and the Jingzuo Ambassador is dead, you can't just leave and be so heartless!" His expression was reproachful, seeming innocent and aggrieved, but there was a shrewd look in his eyes. light.
Su Li looked up at him but said nothing. Her eyes were as cold as snow, as if she was facing a stranger. No matter what he said, there was no emotion on her face.
Yang Xiao was startled for a moment, feeling that she was different from before. She seemed to be... more cold and ruthless. The ungrateful expression on Yang Xiao's face unconsciously softened a bit.
"Su Li is dead." She coldly uttered her first words after a long separation, simple and ruthless, without a single redundant word.
A dead man doesn't need to keep his promises.
Ignoring his blockage, she continued to walk out. Yang Xiao's face hardened and he couldn't help shouting: "Little Ah Li! You are much more powerful than I thought. Do you know how much money you can make if you can escape from the golden cicada's shell?" Did you risk your life? Dongfangze turned into a madman because of you! He actually blatantly massacred the princess and envoys of our country Bian, and ordered the new hussar general Yuan Xiang to lead an army of 300,000 to the entrance of the territory, intending to conquer our country Bian. It’s so arrogant to raze them to the ground!”
Even though she had refused to hear any news about Dongfang Ze for several months, those things that were known to all over the world were always reaching her ears uncontrollably in various places and in various ways. Su Li's footsteps immediately stopped, but she didn't look back.
Yang Xiao stared closely at her stiff back and smiled again: "If he knew that you were still alive and in Bian country, do you think he would run to you desperately?"
Su Li's eyes suddenly turned cold, and murderous intent flashed through his eyes, "You dare to threaten me?"
With a flip of his wrist, the cold blade in his sleeve was instantly pointed at his throat.
. Aunt Jingwan's suffering has not yet been settled with them, and the fact that her mother-in-law was hunted down must have something to do with the Bian royal family!
Murderous aura filled the secret room in an instant, and a sharp weapon was thrust in front of his eyes. Yang Xiao's eyes were slightly startled, but there was no expression of fear. Instead, he spread his hands with a smile on his face, as if he was asking you to do whatever you want. expression.
Su Li couldn't help but squinted her eyes with cold eyes and said, "I can't care if you want to fight. I just want to take Aunt Jingwan away from here! Don't stop me, or anyone who stops me will die!"
The sharp blade in his hand was pushed forward and pressed against his throat. Yang Xiao pretended to be surprised and widened his eyes, crying sadly: "Little Ah Li, I kindly saved you just now, you won't retaliate for kindness, will you?"
Su Li's face condensed and she said coldly: "Help me get out of here, and I will ensure that you can be your fourth prince. You will have no worries at all."
Yang Xiao curled his lips, "You have no credibility! What you promised me doesn't count! I don't care, if you don't help me today, I will die here!" As he said that, he sat down and faced her A flash of teeth. He actually acted rogue.
Su Li's anger welled up in her heart, but she couldn't control it. She knew very well that this Yang Xiao never liked to play his cards according to the rules. He was used to doing whatever he wanted, and even coercion and inducement would not be effective. His face looked uncertain for a moment.
Yang Xiao pretended to sigh deeply, "Little Ali, is it so difficult for you to come to the palace with me? Maybe... you can get the answer you want after meeting your father?! Besides, as long as I'm here, you can't People will hurt you!”
Su Li stared at him for a long time. He couldn't deny that he really wanted to know the relationship between his mother-in-law and the Bian royal family. Also, was it the Emperor of Bian who ordered the murder of his mother and concubine? If they are relatives, why are they so cruel
"I can go with you, but you have to agree to one condition."
Yang Xiao's eyes lit up: "You tell me."
"Send someone to send Aunt Jingwan's body to Sheng Kingdom for burial with the former Shenmen Sect Master."
"This is a bit difficult, there is a war at the border..."
"You must have a way." Her face was cold, but her expression was firm.
Yang Xiao thought for a while, raised his hand and compromised: "Okay, I agree.
. "
"You must keep my identity secret. Also, give me the person who broke Aunt Jingwan's leg bone."
"You don't have one condition, there are three..." Yang Xiao shouted with a bitter face, but there was no trace of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
Su Li looked at him coldly: "Should I or shouldn't?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I agree to all of them!" Yang Xiao responded repeatedly, came over to look at her face, and asked curiously: "I have a question, why did the birthmark disappear on your face?"
Su Li didn't answer, but opened the door and called the four Wan Xin people. In the closed room, someone else came out of nowhere. They were waiting outside without knowing it. They were all surprised at the moment, but they tacitly agreed not to ask any more questions.
Yang Xiao suddenly saw four masters and couldn't help but smacked his lips, "Little Ah Li, are these four pieces of wood yours?"
Xiang Li rolled his eyes and was about to speak when he saw the warning look in his eyes and could only look up at the sky.
Su Li said coldly: "Lead the way."
Yang Xiao grinned, "Okay, but when you enter the palace, you can't talk nonsense." There was nothing improper about his smiling face, it was full of warning.
The four of them were secretly shocked. They only glanced at Su Li, did not dare to say anything, and followed Yang Xiao into the secret passage. This secret passage actually led directly to the palace, and they arrived in half an hour's walk.
The Imperial City of Bian State is located on a high ground, with the vast blue sky right above your head, and the white clouds flowing through the buildings that are not particularly delicate but magnificent. It has a natural rough beauty, majestic and magnificent, which makes people awe-inspiring.
Without waiting for the announcement, Yang Xiao took Su Li and strode into the Qinzheng Hall. The other four people stayed outside the palace and waited. The eunuch at the door bowed and saluted without stopping them.
The Emperor of Bian State was in his sixties, and he was in good spirits, with only a slight aging look between his brows. Wearing a dragon robe, he sat in front of the royal desk to review memorials. His facial features were clearly defined, and his handsome appearance in his youth could be vaguely seen.
"Father, do you think who my son has brought to you?" Yang Xiao's cheerful and loud voice had already entered the room before he even stepped into the room.
The Emperor of Bian, who was over sixty years old, was immersed in his case and reviewing memorials. Hearing this voice, his tired face couldn't help but smile. He asked without raising his head: "What tricks do you have?" He was usually majestic. The incomparable voice can only be filled with the love of a father when facing his most beloved son.
.
Yang Xiao happily entered the room and saw that his father was indifferent and was still immersed in government affairs. He couldn't help frowning and jumped over in three steps at a time. He shouted dissatisfied: "Father! You didn't listen to the imperial doctor's advice." ! The imperial doctor said, you need to rest more and don’t get tired!"
He snatched the memorial from the emperor's hand. The emperor was not angry at all. He just slowly raised his head from the imperial desk and looked at him helplessly.
"Xiao'er, don't make trouble! Father has serious business! Get it quickly."
"No serious matter is as important as the person I brought to you!" Yang Xiao chuckled, pointing at Su Li as if he was taking credit, "Father, look!"
Emperor Bian turned his head in confusion and looked in the direction of his finger. When he saw Su Li's face, his whole body was shaken, and the red pen in his hand fell on the table.
"Sister Xi Huang?!" The emperor shouted in disbelief. He stood up in surprise.
Su Li was shocked and looked up at him in surprise. This old emperor...the "former emperor's sister" he calls is her mother? Could it be that my mother is the princess of Bian State
Her heart froze slightly. The emperor had quickly walked around the imperial court, with a complex and excited expression, and walked towards her step by step. The heavy footsteps echoed heavily in the solemn and silent palace, as if they were stepping on people's hearts.
Aunt Jingwan's face before she died suddenly appeared in Su Li's mind. Her heart became cold and she subconsciously took a step back. She saluted coldly and warily: "Su Li has met Emperor Bian!"
Emperor Bian's expression was startled, and his forward steps suddenly froze, "Su Li?" He closed his eyes, and when he opened them, his slightly cloudy eyes became clear. The young face of the woman in front of him was very similar to the person he was familiar with eighteen years ago, but the indifference on this woman's face now was exactly the same as the last time he saw her!
"Father," Yang Xiao strode over, helped the emperor, and said with a smile: "She is not the emperor's aunt, she is the Princess Mingxi whom I mentioned to you before! How is it, does it look like her?"
Emperor Bian couldn't help but nodded slightly, "It's very similar! These eyebrows, this temperament... When I look at you, I feel like I'm seeing the former emperor's sister from eighteen years ago! Your... name is Su Li? How old are you?" Emperor He asked in a friendly tone, but his eyes were very complicated, flowing back and forth on her face, as if he wanted to find long-standing memories through her face.
.
Su Li lowered his eyes and said, "Back to Emperor Bian, Su Li is seventeen this year."
"Oh, seventeen, a woman's best years... It was at this age that the former emperor's sister left me." Emperor Bian was melancholy and sighed and asked: "Are you her daughter? Did she ever mention me to you? ?”
there has never been.
This is also a doubt that Su Li has yet to solve! Judging from the expression of the emperor of Bian Kingdom, he should have a deep relationship with his mother, but why did his mother never mention Bian Kingdom to her
"Back to Emperor Bian, Su Li, a commoner girl, is the second daughter of Prime Minister Su of the Sheng Kingdom. Who is the 'former emperor's sister' mentioned by the emperor?" She raised her head and asked calmly, as if she didn't care about the answer, but in fact, only she knew it. , she has been waiting for this answer for a long time.
Emperor Bian looked at her intently for a while and sighed softly: "She... is my cousin, named Yang Xi. She is also the only Princess Rongxi in our Bian Kingdom who is not born from the emperor but has the title of princess. ! When she was little, she liked to stick to me the most. When she grew up..." As if remembering the sad past, he paused, his voice a little sad, "Oh, it turns out that the older you get, the easier it is to remember the past. I, really He's getting old!" He sighed and walked back to the royal desk. Yang Xiao hurriedly helped him sit down and said with a smile: "Father is not old at all, you just miss your relatives!"
"Relatives..." The emperor's face softened, "Yes, I do miss my relatives. It's a pity that she is so young... Alas!" He looked at Su Li with complex nostalgia and heartfelt feelings. Regret and regret.
Su Li was stunned. She originally thought Emperor Bian was a ruthless person, but she didn't expect it to be like this. She couldn't help but her thoughts were surging, and she asked: "Emperor Bian mentioned his old friend so sadly. He should be a very affectionate person, but why did he want to kill them all so cruelly back then?"
"Do you know what happened back then?" The emperor was slightly surprised and looked back at Yang Xiao, "Did you say that?"
Yang Xiao waved his hand and said: "Probably Jingzuo Envoy told her. When I met her at the Saintess Cult Headquarters, Jingzuo Envoy died beside her, and before he died, he passed on all his life's skills to her. !”
"Saintess Cult?" The emperor's expression was even more surprised. He looked at Su Li and said, "How did you find the Saintess Cult Headquarters?"
Su Li's eyes flickered and he said calmly: "I have seen the layout plan of the Shenmen secret passage."
"The Shenmen secret passage?" The emperor was surprised again, "You mean, the Shenmen secret passage is very similar to the secret passage of the Saintess Cult? Could it be that the Shenmen secret passage of the Sheng Kingdom was built by Xuanji?" The emperor thought thoughtfully, Eyes darkened
.
Su Li nodded lightly. He was worthy of being an emperor. He could figure it out immediately with just one sentence from her. The emperor asked: "I heard that you are the master of Shenmen?"
"It used to be." Now that Su Li is dead, Wan Xin is the leader of Mingli's sect, so she has retreated behind the scenes in order not to attract attention.
The emperor said: "You have seen the layout of the agency, and you must have seen the love flower stolen by Xuanji?"
"I've seen it."
"Do you think things like love flowers can be easily stolen? If I really wanted to kill them all, they would all be dead from the first time Jingzuo envoy privately asked Xuanji for help!"
Su Li's heart was shocked, and she raised her eyes in surprise. The emperor said again: "Since you know that the Saintess Cult is involved with our royal family, I will not hide it from you. The Saintess Cult is a martial arts sect on the surface, but it is actually a secret killer organization of the royal family. . Before the former emperor’s sister rebelled, no third party would know this secret except the saint herself and the emperor. Therefore, every saint came from the royal family. To protect their loyalty and secrets from being leaked, the Saintess Cult has a The rule is that a saint is not allowed to marry for the rest of her life!"
I see! But it's a bit too cold and heartless. Su Li frowned and said nothing.
The emperor continued: "Therefore, the defection of the former emperor's sister is not only a treason, but also a treason! The three elders of the Saintess Sect are not the only ones I sent out to look for her! It's just... I have orders to capture her alive but not to hurt her. This is why they have so many worries about their lives, and they have to tie their hands when doing things, so that the former emperor's sister can escape many times. I... know this, but still can't bear to kill her! Among my many brothers and sisters, although she He is not the closest to me, but his relationship is the best."
At this point, he paused and said sadly: "I have been giving her opportunities, hoping that she will change her mind. I... even asked people to tell her that I could allow her to give birth to a child, but she was stubborn. My heart is about to leave! She... after all, she refuses to believe that I will treat her child well!"
The emperor raised his head and sighed heavily, helpless and sad.
Yang Xiao comforted her: "Father, there is no need to be sad. Little Ah Li is here, isn't she? As long as my father loves her as much as he loves his children, I believe that my aunt is alive in heaven and will understand my father's heart."
Although Su Li did not admit it, it seemed that they had already determined that she was Rong Xijin's child.
The emperor nodded, waved to Su Li and said, "Ah Li, come here.
. "With a loving expression on his majestic face, Su Li hesitated for a moment and approached Yuan.
The emperor looked at her face and sighed: "I have many children in my life, and the ones I love most are Xiao'er and Xuan'er." When he mentioned Yang Xuan, his face darkened a little, "Now that Xuan'er is no longer here, from now on you Just stay with me, and I will treat you like a daughter."
The sudden favor made Su Li very uncomfortable. Back then, Yang Xiao tried every possible means to take away the ring in Sheng Kingdom, but now that she was here, Emperor Bian didn't say a word about the ring.
Su Li's eyebrows darkened, but before he could speak, Yang Xiao already smiled and said: "Father, why is it a daughter? Can't you be a daughter-in-law? My son is very fond of little Ah Li! Little Ah Li, when she was in Sheng Kingdom You didn't choose me. Now that you're in Bian Country, if you marry me, I promise to make you happy every day!" He looked at her with a smile, seemingly not serious, but his eyes sparkled.
The emperor also looked at her, seeming happy to see the success.
Su Li said calmly: "Thank you Emperor Bian and the fourth prince for their love. Su Li, a commoner's daughter, really cannot afford the responsibility."
She had already figured out the mystery of the Saintess Cult, the mother concubine, and the royal family. She had no intention of staying here any longer and was about to leave. At this time, the solemn voice of the eunuch came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the border!"
The emperor's expression changed, "Pass."
The door of Qinzheng Palace opened, and the eunuch led a dusty soldier into the palace. The man knelt down from a distance and said urgently: "See the Emperor!"
"Has there been any change in border customs? Tell me quickly."
"Reporting to your Majesty, the Sheng army faked a defeat and lured General Hu'erdu into the Miyuan Valley. Twenty thousand elite soldiers of our army were trapped in the miasma forest. The miasma in the forest is very poisonous and no one in our army can cure it."
"There is such a thing!" The emperor slapped the case and stood up, his face solemn and cold-eyed, which was very different from the kind and sad expression just now. He said angrily: "What a cunning Shengguo man!"
Yang Xiao's expression also changed, and he comforted him: "Father, please don't get angry yet."
The emperor asked: "Do you have any idea?"
Yang Xiao glanced at Su Li, waved his hand and ordered the soldiers and eunuchs to retreat, and then smiled and said: "I have no research on medicine and poison pharmacology, but if little Ali is willing to help, I want to rescue General Hu'erdu Escape is not a problem
. "
Su Li frowned and looked at him, and said coldly: "I only have some knowledge of herbal medicine, but I don't know anything about the miasma in the mountains and forests."
"Just have someone under your command who understands it." Yang Xiao smiled at her and said, "Little Ali, you don't know something. Every generation of the Saintess Sect has an elder who is proficient in medicine and poison. Among all generations, Elder Xuanji is the most outstanding. We Most of the poisons used come from his hands. I heard that the four killers he trained each have their own strengths, and one of them must be proficient in this."
Su Li knew that he was talking about Jiang Yuan, but she didn't want to get involved in the dispute between the two countries.
Yang Xiao said, "I saved you just now, otherwise you would have gone crazy! Now I'm in trouble, little Ali, can you bear to watch and ignore me?"
He tilted his head to look at her, deliberately making a sad and pitiful expression, but in fact he was calculating better than anyone else. Su Li frowned slightly and was silent for a moment, "I am only responsible for detoxifying and saving people."
Yang Xiao immediately smiled and said, "Then let's leave quickly."
"Wait a minute, I have a condition. You must keep my identity secret."
"Of course. Dongfangze massacred my envoy from Bian State and killed my imperial sister. I wish he never knew you were still alive for the rest of his life! I only feel happy to let him die alone with his throne in his arms. It's so painful that he can't bear to die." Yang Xiao Canran laughed, but could not hide the resentment in his eyes.
The emperor's eyes instantly darkened and he nodded towards Su Li.
For some reason, when she heard Yang Xiao say this, her heart twitched uncontrollably, and there was a trace of undue pain. She forced herself to ignore it, raised her head, and looked far beyond the high walls of the imperial city at the cloudy sky.
Time was urgent, so Yang Xiao took only two of his personal guards, Shi Ji and Shi Jing, and Su Li and a group of five people to rush to the border. After half a month of driving, we finally arrived at the border area of Bian State.
As the most important military defense place in Bian State, although Yukou is bustling and lively, the security is strict. Su Li and his party passed by the market and went straight to the Bian Army camp stationed south of Yukou.
The guard guard recognized Yang Xiao and hurriedly saluted: "See you, the Fourth Prince!"
Yang Xiao's face was unusually serious. He waved his hand and asked, "Where is Uncle Huang?"
"Back to the fourth prince, the prince and the generals are discussing matters in the Chinese army's tent.
. "
"Take Xiao Wang there."
"yes."
When a group of people arrived at the Chinese army's tent, two guards outside the tent immediately stepped forward to stop them: "Prince Xiao has an order. During the meeting, no one is allowed to enter without permission!"
Yang Xiao raised his head and said, "You are so brave. Even Xiao Wang, you dare to stop me? Shi Jing."
"Yes!" A guard behind him responded and put a knife on the man's neck. Yang Xiao snorted coldly and strode in with Su Li and others with their heads held high.
The expressions of the generals who were discussing matters in the tent all changed. When they turned around and saw him, they were all stunned. The person sitting in the first place was wearing a handsome robe. He was the head of a group of tall and rough-looking generals. His face was soft and handsome, but his aura was strong and cold, as if he had the power of a king. His face turned cold as soon as he saw Yang Xiao, and his eyes stopped on the five strangers wearing strange masks behind him.
Su Li raised her eyes, saw the man's face, and felt slightly shocked. This person should be the emperor's uncle mentioned by Yang Xiao and Prince Xiao by the guards - Yang Zhen! The outline of his facial features is somewhat similar to that of his mother-in-law! Su Li couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
"Uncle Emperor, generals, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you all okay? Xiao Wang really misses you!" Yang Xiao's usual careless expression and ungrateful smile made the otherwise serious discussion of the Chinese army's tent. The atmosphere became very strange.
Some people wanted to laugh, but quickly lowered their heads and held back. The fourth prince always liked to speak glibly, and it seemed that all the generals had become accustomed to it.
"The fourth prince is not staying in the imperial city, so what are you doing here at the border?" Yang Zhen stared at Su Li with sharp eyes like an eagle, "As a prince, you should lead strangers into the military camp at will and break into the meeting room without permission. What's the crime?!" His voice was stern, obviously very unhappy.
Yang Xiao didn't seem to notice at all, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Oh, my nephew also wants to listen to music in the imperial city for fun, but the father wants the little king to announce the decree!" As he said that, he lifted his arms from his arms. He took out Emperor Bian's handwriting and shook it carelessly.
Everyone was startled and immediately fell to their knees.
Yang Xiao's smile deepened, and he raised his eyebrows and glanced at Yang Zhen, "Prince Xiao accepts the order."
Yang Zhen's hesitant eyes flashed and he slowly knelt down.
"By God's blessing, the emperor ordered that the fourth prince, Yang Xiao, lead the Shen family to Tianmen Miyuan Valley to relieve the miasma. King Xiao will do his best to help. There must be no mistake. I hereby express my gratitude.
. "
"Your Majesty, I obey the order." Yang Zhen bowed and accepted the imperial order, his face darkening almost invisible.
"Are they from the Shen Clan?" Yang Zhen put away the oracle and glanced at Su Li's face. He paused for a moment and felt that the woman's eyes behind the mask were clear and cold, shocking to the soul. There was something to say. An indescribable sense of familiarity.
"Shen Men?" A person asked in surprise, with a very different look on his face, and asked thoughtfully: "Is this the most famous killer organization in the Sheng Kingdom?"
This voice was very familiar. Su Li raised his eyes and saw that it was Master Su Mu who had accompanied Hu Erdu as an envoy to Sheng Kingdom! He stood behind Yang Zhen, whom Su Li had not noticed before.
Yang Zhen said in a deep voice: "Since you have come to help under the emperor's order, why do you wear a mask and dare not show your true face? Could it be that there is an ugly secret behind this mask! Since you want to stay in the military camp, you have to take off the mask !" He moved and was in front of Su Li in a blink of an eye.
The tall body cast a shadow, almost covering her. Su Li did not move, but raised his head slightly and looked at the person in front of him. He turned out to be his closest relative!
Yang Zhen was also looking at her with surprise and hesitation.
Yang Xiao walked forward with a smile, suddenly pointed at Su Li's back and said with a smile: "This is Chen Xiang, the new head of Shen Clan, and the other four are the four killers under the head of Shen Clan. People in the Shen Clan I never show my true face to others when I travel around the world, the emperor must have heard of this, right?! My father has given permission for them to come to help this time, and there is no need to take off the mask when meeting anyone."
Yang Zhen's eyes suddenly darkened, but he still stared at Su Li closely: "How can a small Jianghu sect be able to help this king? Come, take the fourth prince and others down to rest."
A cold light flashed in Yang Xiao's eyes, and he said with a smile: "I heard from the emperor that he should rest. My nephew has been traveling for a few days. He is really tired and wants to sleep. Unfortunately, my father has an order. General Hu'erdu is the leader of my Bian Kingdom. A general must not be trapped in the mountains and forests! Xiao Wang boasted in front of his father, if he cannot save the general, he will be punished by military law! Then he will really sleep forever. "
He had a grimace on his face, looking completely helpless. Everyone below could not help but laugh.
"Little Wang doesn't want to be dealt with by his father, so the emperor will treat him as a pitiful nephew. Help us quickly and send us to Miyuan Valley." Yang Xiao had a smooth smile on his face, how could he look sleepy at all? Saving people is like putting out fires. If he dares to disobey the emperor's orders, even if he is a prince, he will still be punished, let alone everyone in the account.
. For a moment, everyone's expressions immediately became solemn.
At this moment, a person standing by the tent door said: "The fourth prince does not know something. The miasma in the Miyuan Valley of Tianmen Mountain is very poisonous. No one has ever dared to enter easily. If you are not prepared, I am afraid..."
"General, there is no need to worry." Wan Xin said calmly, "We are here to remove the poison of this miasma."
The man was slightly startled, slightly surprised, obviously not expecting that she was a woman, and immediately bowed and said: "If you can really cure the poison of this miasma, then General Huerdu and my 20,000 Bian troops will be saved."
Yang Xiao touched his palm and smiled and said: "Okay, why don't we ask General Yu to take us there."
General Yu glanced at Yang Zhen subconsciously. Yang Zhen's eyes turned cold and he ordered: "General Yu, you will lead an elite army and take the fourth prince to Miyuan Valley in Tianmen Mountain."
General Yu immediately bowed his head and said: "General, I will obey your order."
Yang Xiao's eyes flashed, his smile did not diminish, and he laughed and said: "Thank you, uncle! Emperor, remember to prepare a table of good wine and food for your nephew, and wait for your nephew to come back to enjoy it, so I said goodbye."
Yang Zhen's eyes darkened and he said nothing. He watched the group of people mount their horses and move away, but his eyes stayed on Su Li. Why does this person give him such a familiar feeling
Exiting the domain entrance is Tianmen Mountain. The place where Hu Erdu and others were trapped is located in Miyuan Valley to the west of Tianmen Mountain. The terrain in the valley is strange, with mountains and rocks standing there, and black mist lingering all year round. Normally no one dares to enter.
After passing through the stone forest, we arrived at the entrance of Miyuan Valley. A hot and humid air hit our face. Yang Xiao's eyes darkened slightly and he asked in a low voice: "Little Ali, how are you? Are you sure?"
Su Li frowned slightly. A rotten smell accompanied by a faint stench filled the hot and humid air. There was a shallow stream at the entrance of the mountain forest, and it was green in color. It was indeed a sign of miasma.
"Ghost." Su Li closed his eyes, carefully distinguishing the smell, and turned to look at Jiang Yuan. With a flash of his eyes, he took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, poured out the pills and distributed them to everyone, and said lightly: "This medicine can be To avoid the miasma, as long as you leave the forest within three hours, you will be safe."
After taking the medicine, Yang Xiao took the lead and rushed into the valley. General Yu quickly ordered the soldiers to follow.
The further you go in, the more fishy and filthy you get.
.
It's hard to imagine that in such a miasmatic mountain forest, without food or water, a day would be too long. But Hurdu and others have been trapped here for half a month, how can they survive and wait for support? Uncharacteristically, Yang Xiao put away his ungrateful smile and became serious.
Not long after, the scattered bones were in front of them, some of them had rotted, and some of them were newly added.
Su Li frowned, and everyone speeded up their pace. Soon they saw a large number of soldiers lying down or sitting in the forest. Most of them had gray faces, and many of them were unconscious. General Yu's heart tightened and he couldn't help shouting: "General Hu'erdu!"
The soldiers also shouted loudly, and finally, a weak response came from the crowd in front: "I'm here!"
Everyone heard the sound and took a look. There was a big tree not far ahead. There were many people sitting under the tree. One of them was wearing a bandit armor and had a dark complexion. He was Hurdu. Yang Xiao quickly rushed over, held him up and shouted: "General!"
Su Li quickly took out a small porcelain bottle from her sleeve, opened the cap, put it under Huerdu's nose and shook it a few times. Suddenly Erdu woke up. When he saw Yang Xiao, he immediately shouted excitedly: "Fourth Prince?!"
Yang Xiao nodded, helped him up and said, "General, there's no need to say anything. Let's try to get lucky first."
Hu Erdu closed his eyes as he was told, and luckily, his breath was unobstructed, and he let out a long sigh of relief. He stood up and knelt down to thank him: "Thank you, Fourth Prince, for saving your life!"
Yang Xiao smiled and said, "You don't have to thank me. If you want, just thank her." He pointed at Su Li beside him with a mysterious smile.
"Thank you so much..." He looked up at Su Li. This person was slender and had cold eyes. He seemed to be familiar with him. He asked in surprise: "I wonder what your name is?"
"Wonderful envoy." Su Li said calmly.
Suddenly Erdu opened his mouth, seemingly at a loss for her coldness. Su Li didn't say anything more and turned around to rescue the others. After checking, he found that many soldiers were still breathing, so he quickly distributed the antidote and detoxified them one by one. Khurdu and his soldiers were trapped here, without food or water. They relied on drinking the blood of dead horses to survive until this point. Although they were detoxified, they were still weak and had difficulty moving. Yang Xiao ordered people to bring water and food. After everyone used them, they regained some of their energy.
Su Li whispered: "Leave quickly, otherwise something may change."
Yang Xiao quickly helped Hu Erdu mount his horse, rectified the team, and counted the number of people. Now there were only more than 3,000 elite soldiers left out of the 20,000. After receiving support and rescue, everyone immediately became energetic and encouraged their fighting spirit and walked out of Miyuan Valley.
. Although the march was slow, it went smoothly. An hour later, the large group of people finally reached the mouth of the valley. Finally breathing fresh air, everyone couldn't help but cheer in unison. Su Li suddenly raised his hand and shouted in a deep voice: "Stop!"
Everyone immediately stood ready.
There was thick fog in the stone forest ahead, and a vague figure disappeared for a moment. She jumped up, tentatively tapped a boulder with her toes, and heard a "bang". The boulder split into two and suddenly separated on both sides, with tens of thousands of rubbles in between. The arrows fired simultaneously and shot straight towards Su Li.
Su Li was startled. The expressions of Wan Xin, Yang Xiao and others changed drastically. Five figures moved in unison, trying to fly over to save people. However, they saw Su Li retreating sharply. In mid-air, his delicate arms fluttered, and his sleeves and robes fluttered in the wind. , a powerful force suddenly emanated from her body, causing the deadly gravel to immediately scatter like flying ashes.
Su Li looked at her hands, feeling quite surprised in her heart. I didn’t expect Aunt Jingwan’s internal strength to be so powerful! Qi and blood suddenly surged in the body, as if two forces were repelling each other. Su Li was startled. Just when luck adjusted, the discomfort suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed at all.
Yang Xiao came forward and shouted in surprise: "Wow! Little Ah Li, you have become more powerful with Jingzuo Shi's skills! You can't bully me in the future!"
Su Li ignored him and stared straight at the stone forest ahead.
"It seems that someone took advantage of the special terrain here to set up a formation and wanted to trap us here." Xiang Li frowned slightly.
"Ah!" All the soldiers exclaimed. They had just withdrawn one foot from the gate of hell, and in the blink of an eye they were about to step in again. How could this not make everyone despair? Someone yelled angrily: "Come in and fight them!" After saying that, he wanted to rush in without waiting for anyone to stop him.
Hu'erdu immediately said angrily: "All officers and men obey orders. No one is allowed to act without permission without orders from the general. Otherwise, military law will be dealt with!"
"Yes." Everyone responded in unison, stopping where they were, not daring to make any move.
"Little Ali, can you tell what kind of formation this is?" Yang Xiao lowered his expression and asked in a low voice.
Su Li didn't answer.
The moment she jumped up, she saw the strange shape of this stone forest, which seemed to have nine gates and eight directions. She couldn't help but think of the nine gates and eight trigrams formation at the Qishan Hunting Conference.
. This formation was originally created by the most trusted military advisor of the founding emperor of the Sheng Kingdom. It was improved several times and became more unpredictable. There are only two people in the entire Sheng Kingdom who can put up this formation, and one of them is Yuan Xiang. This time, Yuan Xiang led the troops, first planning to lure Hu'erdu into a poisonous miasma, and then setting up a death formation outside the miasma mountain forest. If Su Li hadn't come here, no matter how many people the Bian army sent to rescue, they would eventually be trapped and die here.
If you want to leave this place, you must first break the formation. The Nine Gates Bagua Array is unpredictable, with unclear reality and reality, densely packed with mechanisms, and infinite power. If you make the wrong move, you will be pierced by rocks and die at any time, which is several times more dangerous than before. Dongfang Ze had secretly given guidance in the hunting conference, and she had some understanding of the formation. Although the situation is different now, the door of life and death of a formation should not change.
"I need nine people." Su Li finally spoke, emotionless.
"Okay!" Yang Xiao smiled broadly and immediately called out: "General Hu Erdu, General Yu, Shi Ji, and Shi Jing will follow this prince to help the Miao Envoy break the formation! The rest of the people are waiting where they are, and the whistle is the order, and they will use all their strength. Make no mistakes when rushing out of the formation!".
"Yes!" Thousands of people responded, and their morale increased greatly.
Su Li was shocked. She was used to seeing Yang Xiao act carelessly, but she didn't expect that when he ordered the three armies, he would be as powerful as Hu Erdu. Although this person is young, he is a character.
"Generals, listen to the order and enter Kunmen from the south!" Su Li shouted in a deep voice, and nine figures flew up like birds and disappeared behind the boulder in an instant.
"Go southwest, break away from the position." A cold voice commanded, and nine loud bangs were heard from different directions at the same time, followed by the sound of weapons striking each other. Apparently, the person who broke the position was ambushed. Su Li secretly thought that there must be someone attacking after the giant rocks were arranged. With the martial arts of his nine people, they should be more than enough to deal with the soldiers.
Hu'erdu slashed down the Sheng soldiers guarding the gate with his sword, and his palms broke out in cold sweat. He thought to himself, if one of the nine of them couldn't kill the enemy with one move, wouldn't it be a bad thing? At the moment, concentrate and listen to the sound.
Not long after, a woman's voice came to my ears again: "Go to the southeast, Pogan position..."
The nine people moved very quickly, and in a short time they eliminated the people guarding the formation gate. They broke through the formation like a bamboo, and in the blink of an eye, more than half of the Sheng army in the nine gates suffered casualties.
At this time, a rich male voice suddenly sounded outside the formation: "Who is in the formation? Why do you know how to crack the secret formation of Sheng Kingdom?"
Upon hearing this sound, the expressions of everyone in the formation changed. Su Li even raised his head in shock, and his eyes suddenly changed.
This sound…
