Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them. A person who could suppress Yan Feijue was no less powerful than the Ghost King, yet he was defeated by their "Silly Highness" just like that.
Yan Fei's near-death escape was the one that touched him the most. Of course, he had already heard the truth from Hai Shisan's mouth last night. Counting just this time, he owed two lives to the Ghost King.
How will I repay this favor in the future
Otherwise, he would be reluctant to become an apprentice to the Ghost King...
Hai Shisan raised his forehead, you should show some face!
After a short period of astonishment and amazement, another thought came to Qiao Wei's mind: "The big movement just now, will it surprise the patrolling guards? If the guards find that someone is missing, we will be exposed, right?"
Although the ghost king is in hand, it is obviously not the time to go head-to-head.
Ji Mingxiu said: "One man should guard the gate and ten thousand men should not open it. There are already such powerful masters guarding the gate, so there should be no need for others."
Otherwise, it is an insult to the masters. It is like they are now running to the ghost king and saying, Your Highness, I am worried that you will not be able to handle it alone, so I have found dozens of helpers for you, and the ghost king will definitely kill them every minute. Squeeze to death, all of them to death!
Wild beasts walk alone, cattle and sheep are in herds, this is probably what it means.
Qiao Wei herself is not a martial arts master, so she doesn't understand the psychology of masters, but she also thinks that what Ji Mingxiu said is right. After all, there is only one shortcut to go to the city of clouds, and it is really difficult to hold this narrow moment. A master is enough.
Besides, after such a long time, there seems to be no movement from above, which is enough to show that they haven't found out that something happened to the master of the city.
"Hurry up?" Qiao Wei asked.
"Yeah." Ji Mingxiu nodded, "Before someone finds out, go up and take a look."
Qiao Wei laughed, went up and walked around, talking like they were going to the vegetable market, they were going to enter the city this time, a soldier guarding the city is so powerful, God knows how many perverted masters are hidden inside
"Scared?" Ji Mingxiu looked at her with a faint smile.
Qiao Wei snorted: "How is it possible?"
Ji Mingxiu took her hand, and wrapped her cold fingertips in his big and generous palm: "I won't let you get into trouble."
Qiao Wei's heart was warm, but her mouth was still quite blunt: "You should worry about yourself. My leg injury was healed this morning. You don't know the year of the monkey and the month of the monkey to recover from your poisonous palm."
Ji Mingxiu laughed, but said nothing more.
After the group finished disposing of the master's body, they all went up the ladder.
This ladder is really beautifully built, every step is like a fine jade, when the sun hits it, the jade is moist and pearly, beautiful and magnificent.
Every time Qiao Wei took a step, she felt like she was in the fairy palace.
At first, the ladder was built against the mountain, but gradually, the mountain disappeared, and the back was empty, leaving only this level of jade, step by step into the sky.
Looking up from their point of view, they can only see clouds and mist, but not the city. If they look down—
Yan Feijue took a look and was almost rolled down!
I thought that the stone bridge was scary enough, but who would have thought that this ladder was ten or a hundred times more terrifying than the stone bridge.
The steps are as long as they are wide enough, so you don't have to worry about falling from the sides, but if your legs are weak and you roll down... Well, that's still very fatal.
The ghost king took the lead and walked in front of the wind.
The few of them followed behind the ghost king obediently like little chickens, but after walking for a while, they all felt that the ghost king should be allowed to walk last, so that even if their legs were weak for a while and fell, there would be someone who would not be weak. The catch isn't it
After walking for a while, when the few people looked down at the steps below, they could only see clouds and mist. It seemed that they were not far from the city of clouds.
Sure enough, after a quarter of an hour, the few people reached the end of the ladder, and what they saw was a small semi-circular open space and a ten-foot-high wall with a door opening in the center of the wall.
Qiao Wei wanted to talk about the city gate, but the opening was too small, just enough for one person to walk through, so it must be nothing compared to the majestic city gate.
The other three sides of the open space are cliffs, this room is the only entrance, and inside the room, there are eight cold stone doors.
Qiao Wei couldn't help thinking that there seemed to be such a round room in the camp, and there were also eight stone doors in the room, but those stone doors were open, but all of them were closed here.
"What's the situation?" Yan Feijue casually touched one of the stone gates, pushed it, but it couldn't be pushed, even if he used his internal force to blast it, he couldn't move it. He turned his head and looked at the Ghost King with a smirk, "His Royal Highness, How about you try it?"
"Wait." Ji Mingxiu said thoughtfully, "Don't try it yet."
"Why?" Yan Fei asked uncomprehendingly.
Qiao Wei also said: "Yes, why can't you try? Is there any mystery here?"
Ji Mingxiu said: "This is a formation made with the eight gates of Qimen Dunjia."
Qiao Wei frowned and said, "I've heard of Qimen Dunjia, but what are the Eight Gates?"
Ji Mingxiu said: "The eight gates can also be regarded as something in Qimen Dunjia. They represent personnel and are often used to predict good or bad. They are the opening gate, the rest gate, the life gate, the injury gate, the Du gate, the scene gate, the death gate and the shock gate. , Shock, and Injury are fierce gates, and there is no doubt that you will die if you enter; Du and Jing are Zhongping, and they can't enter the city without too much danger; only Kai, Xiu, and Sheng are auspicious gates. , only Shengmen can enter the city of clouds."
Qiao Wei seemed to have an epiphany: "That is to say, even if we walk two miles away, we still won't be able to reach the city of clouds?"
Ji Mingxiu nodded: "Maybe I went out in a certain ravine."
Qiao Wei rubbed her chin: "Eight find one, the probability is a bit small, but it's not impossible to find it."
Ji Mingxiu shook his head lightly: "I'm afraid it's not that simple. If my guess is correct, these doors can only be opened once a day, and only one door can be opened at a time. If there are too many, it will definitely touch the underground mechanism. This whole place, including the ladder, is going to collapse."
Qiao Wei looked down at the bottomless clouds and calculated the chances of surviving if she collapsed and fell, and the answer she got was zero.
Qiao Wei felt a chill in her heart: "It's no wonder there are no extra guards guarding it, and it's a ghost king-level master, and it's such a weird formation, it's strange that ordinary people can break in!"
Going up the ladder was already so difficult, but I didn't expect that it would be even more difficult to enter the city. The defense of Cloud City is really tighter than that of Yinzu.
"In this case, how do we get in?" Qiao Wei asked, "Do you want to try a door first?"
Ji Mingxiu smiled lightly: "No need, someone knows how to get there."
Qiao Wei was taken aback: "Who?"
Ji Mingxiu looked at her meaningfully, and Qiao Wei raised her eyebrows: "You're not talking about General Mu, are you?"
Ji Mingxiu patted her on the shoulder: "Let's go, today's task has been completed, it's time to go down the mountain."
Qiao Wei was even more puzzled: "Hey, we haven't entered the city yet? How come we have completed the task?"
Ji Mingxiu smiled, and took her plain hand that was slightly sweating from excitement: "It's done, my boss."
Yan Feijue and Hai Shisan were also at a loss. Didn't they come here to enter the city? How did you step on a point outside the city to complete the mission
They didn't understand what Ji Mingxiu was thinking, but since Ji Mingxiu had spoken, they had to leave.
A group of people walked down the ladder.
Going down the ladder is much more terrifying than going up the ladder. After all, it is too high. Every step is like stepping on a cliff. After walking for half an hour, Hai Shisan was the first one who couldn't hold it anymore: "No, I... I... I faint."
The ghost king carried him on his right shoulder.
Not long after, Qiao Wei couldn't bear it anymore.
The ghost king carried her on his left shoulder.
The third one who couldn't carry it was Yan Feijue, but at this time, the ghost king had no shoulders to hang on him, so he could only let him hang on his lap.
A hulking man, hunched over, with his hands and feet hanging on another man's lap, is a shameful thing indeed.
Yan Fei did not hesitate... hang up!
The ghost king looked at Ji Mingxiu again.
Well, there is one leg left to hang on.
The prime minister can't lose his position. How could he do such a shameful thing
The prime minister said without thinking, "Can I ride on your neck?"
…
The prime minister was struck down by the ghost king's palm. Of course, the ghost king's strength was well controlled, and the strong internal force "sent" him back to the ground safely (eating a mouthful of mud), but did not let him really fall. Hurt.
When the Ghost King was carrying two on his shoulders and one on his leg, and walked the last step of the ladder leisurely, the Prime Minister had already arranged his appearance and appeared in front of everyone in a splendid manner.
Qiao Wei: How do I remember that someone fell and ate shit
Yan Feijue: I also remember.
Hai Thirteen: Plus one.
…
Several people got into the carriage and returned to the palace as quickly as possible. Because the Ghost King had increased the efficiency by half, it was not too late when they arrived at the palace.
General Mu is still in the mansion.
Qiao Wei originally meant to take him here to take care of him, and he was willing to stay, so Qiao Wei was very happy, and didn't ask him why he stayed, until this time when he heard his conversation with Ji Mingxiu in the study, Only then did Qiao Wei realize that her earlier thoughts were a little naive.
In the study, Ji Mingxiu made a cup of tea for General Mu.
After drinking the tea made by Ji Mingxiu, it is difficult to drink other teas.
Of course, Little General Mu would not let Ji Mingxiu know about this.
Ji Mingxiu picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Okay, we have already gone up the ladder and came back safely. Shouldn't you also confess to us?"
General Mu looked at him indifferently: "How do I know you guys went up?"
Ji Mingxiu smiled lightly: "I have seen all eight sects, what do you think?"
General Mu lowered his eyes, holding the teacup slightly harder: "You guys really went up..."
Ji Mingxiu said: "Not only went up, but also came back unscathed. By the way, I also avenged you."
Little General Mu suddenly raised his head: "You...you killed that person?"
How can it be
That person's martial arts... are obviously so high that it is unimaginable...
Ji Mingxiu smiled lightly: "I know what you are thinking, you could go with us, but you are worried, you have to test our strength, now that you are done testing, you can go with us with confidence. Are we in town?"
"I..." When his thoughts were said, Little General Mu's face couldn't help being a little embarrassed, but the more embarrassing thing was yet to come. When he looked up, he saw Qiao Wei standing at the door with a plate of snacks, and his body froze for a moment. Living!
Qiao Wei didn't say anything, she lowered her eyebrows, walked into the room silently, and put the snacks on the table of the two of them: "Dinner is not ready yet, I'm afraid you are hungry, so I brought some snacks here for you Pad your stomach."
General Mu looked at Qiao Wei in embarrassment.
"You guys talk about your stuff, I'll go out first." After Qiao Wei said that, she turned and left the study.
Little General Mu stood up abruptly, chased after her in stride, and called Qiao Wei: "You..."
Qiao Wei paused, turned around slowly, looked at him, and smiled slightly: "Well, I heard that, a little surprised."
"I..." Little General Mu rubbed his flushed face with his intact left hand, "I didn't mean to test you, I just... I just can't afford to lose..."
His family was ruined, and he had no way out, and he couldn't bear the slightest risk.
Qiao Wei said, "I understand."
General Mu looked at her anxiously: "You really... don't blame me?"
Qiao Wei shook her head: "If I lost everything overnight, I would probably become more cautious than you, not to mention that you have reminded all the places that should be reminded, it's just an extra trip, and it's not too expensive Meat."
Little General Mu leaned against the wall in relief. He didn't like this, he didn't like it very much, but he couldn't help it. If he went with them, he couldn't beat that person, and was even killed by that person. What he did Everything is in vain, no one will avenge the Mu family... No one will find the members of the Mu family...
That night, Little General Mu did not stay in the palace, but he appeared in the palace the next morning.
This time, it was really going to Cloud City, and Qiao Wei also brought an emergency medical kit and some dry food on the road.
A group of people got into the carriage and arrived at the entrance of the Manghuang Mountain Range as quickly as possible.
Ji Mingxiu and others got out of the car one after another.
The ghost king didn't move.
Qiao Wei took out a pack of fried jelly beans from her bag.
The ghost king is down.
The rest of the way was filled with crunching and crunching sounds from the ghost king's bite.
"You...how did you know this ghost king?" Little General Mu did his homework before entering Yeluo. Ghost kings are not natural creatures, and usually have masters. He doesn't think that Ji Mingxiu and his group will be ruthless Refining such a cruel thing.
Qiao Wei said that Wang Shu picked it up, but General Mu didn't believe it.
While speaking, several people came to the stone bridge. The ghost king collected the jelly beans, threw out three, grabbed two, and flew into the tunnel.
However, when the few people passed through the tunnel and came to the bottom of the ladder, they never expected to meet an acquaintance——
"Oh, isn't this Master Cang?"
Qiao Wei put her hands behind her back, and walked over with a smile, "Master Cang, long time no see, don't come here without any problems."
Cangjiu was not alone, he brought sixteen dead soldiers with long swords with him, four of them were carrying sedan chairs, and it was self-evident who was sitting in the sedan chair.
Not to mention that Qiao Wei didn't expect to meet him, and he didn't expect to meet Qiao Wei... not only Qiao Wei, but also Ji Mingxiu's master and servant, and... the ghost king.
The King of Ghosts ate jelly beans, but there was no bird at all.
Cangjiu and the sixteen dead men with long swords are a force that should not be underestimated, but in the eyes of the ghost king, they are no different from ants on the ground.
Do people fear the ants on the ground? How can it be
Cangjiu's expression instantly became indescribable.
Qiao Wei walked in front of him, looked at him with a smile and said, "Master Cang is going back to the city?"
Cangjiu clenched her fists vigilantly: "You... why are you here?"
Qiao Wei smiled: "Why do you think we are here?"
Cangjiu's eyes moved: "How did you find out?"
Qiao Wei smiled and said, "Is it hard to find? Ah, who is sitting in the sedan chair? It can't be the queen, right?"
"Qiao Shi, you are so rude!" Cang Jiu stepped forward, trying to stop Qiao Wei, but unfortunately she was a step too late, Qiao Wei had already lifted the curtain.
In order to conceal people's eyes and ears, the sedan chair is not big enough for people to lie on their backs. In the cramped corner, sits the unconscious queen. Her head is leaning on the soft pillow, her face is as pale as a layer of wax paper, and her originally bright red lips have become bloodless. .
Her breath was even weaker, and if it went on like this, she might not be able to survive tonight.
Cangjiu pulled across the curtain and put it down neatly.
Qiao Wei smiled lightly: "She is dying, and even I can't guarantee that I can cure her. You are so anxious to take her to the city of clouds, is there any magic doctor in the city who can bring the dead back to life?"
Cangjiu's expression paused for a moment: "Don't worry about it."
A sneer gradually appeared on the corner of Qiao Wei's lips: "You are unlucky today, you met me, do you think I will let you go?"
