When the other three people from the front line of hell came to Duanhun Gorge, Feng Bujue had just finished speaking a passage that was more than a thousand words long.
And the expressions on the faces of Leader Yuan and Wulin Qunhao... have perfectly expressed the extreme shock in their hearts and the severe pain in a certain part of their bodies.
But Brother Jue didn't care about it, he raised his hand, gestured to his teammates, and said, "By the way, I haven't introduced you yet... These three are all from my Broken Sword Tea House." Liaoke." He pointed to Ruoyu, "This is my wife, and the other two are my disciples, leader, would you like to hear their names by the way?"
"No need." Yuan Qi's eyes widened, and he exclaimed loudly, "It's really no need."
Leader Yuan's expression at this moment seemed to be saying "Please stop talking, brother kneels down to you".
Ji Neng, the owner of Bafang, stepped forward and said: "Master Feng, the reputation of the knights of your sect... I think I should listen to it next time... We have more important things here right now..."
"That's right." Yuan Qi hurriedly continued, "The terrain here is unfavorable, so it's not suitable to stay for a long time..." He acted like a martial arts leader, and said loudly that he no longer needed to use internal force to transmit sound, because the people around him were not enough together Fifty of them, and they have good hearing, so they can just say it with their voices, "I think the heroes from all walks of life have almost adjusted their breaths. Everyone is not idle when I don't feel like talking nonsense. We should get on the road as soon as possible... Waiting for things After you are done, come back and bury the corpse of your fellow sect properly."
"Yes, yes, what President Yuan said is very true."
"Indeed, it's not too late"
"Yeah, everyone, get up and hurry up."
The surviving martial arts figures also responded quickly, and they spared no effort to prevent Feng Bujue from repeating the three-paragraph storytelling.
So, the team of more than 50 people left, just started on the road again...
...
on the other hand…
In front of Buried Heart Villa.
Under the shroud of light and mist, amidst the mountains and rivers, a group of people marched to the entrance of the villa.
At this time, in the village outside the villa. There is no one left...
Obviously, the ambush in the Duanhun Gorge was an action by all the residents of Buried Heart Valley. Unfortunately... Only one person survived.
Of course. Even if this group of people are all alive, they will not stop these court soldiers... because the King of Hades has already ordered to "invite" this group of people in.
That's why... Yuan Qi's martial arts heroes didn't even find a single corpse of an officer and soldier along the way.
In fact, not only did they find no bodies, but they also didn't find any signs of fighting...not even horseshoe ruts, etc.
There is no doubt... shortly after entering the valley, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court turned to a different road from the martial arts people. Moreover, the people in the valley took great care to eliminate the footprints for them.
"My lords, please stay."
When the riders at the front of the team walked to the gate of the villa, an old woman stopped in front of them.
It was an old woman who looked to be in her sixties, with a thin figure and wrinkled face, dressed in plain peasant attire with patches on her clothes.
Seeing this, a strong man in battle armor came out of the three leading riders, and said on the horse: "Ma'am, are you from this villa?"
This man is named Lu Yuan. It is a general who has been abolished long ago in the official history of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. Lu Yuan has a rough appearance, but his temperament is similar. Seeing him open his mouth and say "Ma'am", you can also know that this adult is informal and very close to the people.
"Exactly." The old woman replied, "I am here by the order of the King of Hades, waiting for you all here." Although she is old, she speaks fast and her voice is full of spirit, "Live animals are not allowed in Buried Heart Villa Walk around..." She looked at the horse under the pedestrian's crotch and the horse pulling it, and continued, "Please get off your horse and leave the car. Walk with me."
"Huh?" Hearing this, a hint of displeasure appeared on the face of the second rider.
This person's name is Bao Qi, and his official residence is the Fushi of Jinyiwei Town. Although there is "strange" in his name, his appearance is ordinary and ordinary. The secret service agencies love to recruit this kind of people; but... he has a bureaucratic style. It is the worst of the first three.
"You woman, how do you talk?" Bao Qi said, "Do you know that the carriage is..."
"Hey~" At this time, the third horseman waved his hand and interrupted Bao Qi, "Brother Bao, as the saying goes, do as the Romans do... just allow me to report to the old man, and then worry about it~ "
This man with a motherly tone and slightly fat face is naturally an official father-in-law of the East Factory. His name is Mao Jincai, and he knew from his name that his family was not rich, so he was sent to the palace at a very young age...
"That's right, Brother Bao..." On the other side, Lu Yuan also continued, "Why make things difficult for an old man, let's listen to His Highness first."
"Hmph...forget it." Bao Qi snorted coldly when he saw that Eunuch Mao had turned his horse's head and went back.
After a while, Eunuch Mao came back, and he came back by "walking".
"You two, Your Highness has an order, let's walk together." Eunuch Mao said to the two immediately with a smile.
Hearing this, Lu Yuan and Bao Qi both looked back, and found that several important people in the carriage had also got out of the carriage.
So, they also hurriedly dismounted and prepared to lead the troops into the village.
unexpectedly…
"Wait a minute." The old woman raised her hand again to block their way.
"What's the matter?" Bao Qi was a little impatient this time.
"The King of Hades has an order. Those who enter the village... at most ten people." The old woman replied.
"What?" Bouchi
Loudly said, "Boldly making trouble for you..."
Just when he was about to use his "official authority" to bluff this ignorant old woman, another voice sounded from behind: "Oh~ General Bao, why are you so angry? There are only ten out of ten people. "
Hearing this voice, Bao Qi immediately became cowardly, not only cowardly, but he also turned around and knelt down. Not only did he kneel, but most of the people in the team also knelt...
Obviously, the person who spoke was Jin Wang Zhu Zhizha, a son of the royal family.
Some people may think that the name of this guy is very strange, yes...it is very strange, but for the princes and grandsons of the Ming Dynasty, naming has always been a matter of involuntary...
According to the regulations of the ancestors, the prince's family has to be arranged alphabetically. Take Jin Wang's family as an example... There are only 20 words in total: Ji Mei Zhong Qibiao, know the new and be cautious, seek carefully, Xian Jingmu, explain learning and follow up the previous practice.
It is also the rule of the ancestors that Zhu Yuanzhang is inexplicably persistent in this regard. For the descendants of their old Zhu family, the third character in the name must be the five elements radical, and it must be arranged according to gold, wood, water, fire and earth.
But words are limited, and children and grandchildren are endless... Therefore, it was the end of the Ming Dynasty. We were lucky enough to see the emperor named Zhu Youlang.
That's it... It's not bad, some concubine princes and grandchildren who have been miserable have to invent their own characters to name them in the later stage. If you see that kind of unidentified characters with five-element radicals in the dictionary, it is most likely that they were created during the Ming Dynasty.
Alright... Enough rants, let's go back to the story.
"Your Highness..." Two seconds later, Bao Qi knelt and said, "...you are a man of gold, and you only bring ten people into this dangerous place. In case something goes wrong..."
"All right, all right. Get up, get up and talk first." Zhu Zhizhao continued in a very easy-going tone, "Don't worry about it... I'm a man of gold..." When he said this, he had a look on his face. A bit of a wry smile, as if he wanted to say some self-deprecating words, but he stopped talking. After a pause, he continued, "Besides, ten people are enough... In addition to Mr. Chang and I, you happen to be protected by eight of you top experts... What is there to worry about?"
Master Chang that Zhu Zhizha said. His name is Chang Wei.
Well, I know what you are thinking at this moment, please give up that idea immediately.
That's right, this lord's name is Chang Wei. But he is not Chang Wei who claims to know no martial arts, but an imperial doctor in his sixties with white beard and hair.
As for the other "Eight Great Masters", there are naturally three seats for Lu Yuan Bao Qi and Mao Jincai, but... they can only be regarded as the weakest of the Four Heavenly Kings... oh no, they are the three weakest among the Eight Great Masters.
We have to talk about the remaining five masters separately...
first. It was Shangguan Si, the commander of Jin Yiwei. This person is a man of considerable power, and he is also a "smart person" identified by Cao Qin. Along the way, he followed on horseback at the end of the team, and he was dressed in an ordinary brocade guard official uniform; at first glance... no one would think that he is one of the most important officials here.
As for martial arts... Shangguan Si is in his early fifties this year. Ten years ago, he had trained his external skills to the state of indestructibility. It's a pity that his way of practicing martial arts is too rigid and correct, and he really can't comprehend the "No Breathing Skill", otherwise his cultivation base can be improved to a higher level.
Then came the second master.
This person's name is Bian Ji, and he is the deputy envoy of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. On weekdays, he gives people the impression that he is just a civil servant who talks about military affairs on paper, but in fact... his internal strength is ranked among the top three among the big internal experts, and he is not inferior to that of Du Ying.
By the way, before Cao Qin left the cavalry, Bian Ji and Cao Qin sat together in a carriage, while the other two carriages were for Zhu Zhizha and Chang Wei respectively.
Then, you can talk about the third, fourth, and fifth people in one breath.
Jiang Xu, Cao Guo, and Yu Fei; that is, three people riding horses and following three carriages.
As mentioned in the previous article... They are specially responsible for escorting several dignitaries in the convoy. All three of them are first-class masters selected from the top twelve guards for this operation, and they are all hereditary royal soldiers. They can die for Zhu Zhizha without hesitation at critical moments.
The above are the eight masters mentioned by Zhu Zhizha. Counting him and Chang Yuyi, there are exactly ten. Except for Eunuch Cao who left the team for solo, the rest of the team are basically minions. Of course... "Xiao Luo" is also relatively speaking. Strictly speaking, this entire team of soldiers and horses are all Lianjiazi, and they are still regular troops. If they really want to fight, their fighting power will definitely not lose to the martial arts forces with hundreds of people. of.
"This..." Bao Qi thought for a while, "Since your Highness has said so..."
"Okay, Bao Qi, let that woman lead the way." Shangguan Bang's intervention directly ended the debate.
After receiving the instructions from his immediate superior, Bao Qi didn't have much to say: "Your subordinate obeys." He made a promise, then turned to the old woman and said, "Then... I will trouble you, old man, to lead the way..."
"Please ten come in first." The old woman moved out of the way and raised her hand as a "please" gesture.
Then, Zhu Zhizha, Changwei, Shangguan, Bian Jilu, Yuan Baoqi, Mao Jincai, Jiang Xu, Cao Guo, and Yu Fei stepped into the threshold of Buried Heart Villa one after another.
"Others, please wait outside the village." After the ten people came in, the old woman said to the pawns outside, and then she just raised her palms.
In the next second, the thick gate of the villa was urged to move by an invisible force... and it closed suddenly.
Seeing this scene, the expressions of six of the eight masters changed abruptly, only Shangguan Bao and Bian Ji remained calm, not surprised by this scene.
After closing the door, the old woman turned around and walked to the front of everyone, and said: "Everyone... please follow me."
After that, she walked towards the village without looking back. The ten people also obediently followed without saying anything more.
Soon, they followed the old woman through an elegant courtyard and came to a big house.
The style of this house is very strange, its side facing the courtyard,
, is a porch; the door on the porch has no handle, and it looks like a large wooden fence, with sheets of white paper stuck in the gaps.
We modern people can easily tell that this is a Japanese-style sliding door, but it is the first time for the ten people who entered Buried Heart Villa to see such a door.
"Master, they have already been brought here." The old woman stood in front of the porch and bowed her head.
"Go down." There was an immediate reply from the door.
Just this response made the ten people outside the door think about it. Because the voice coming out of the door was like a yellow oriole coming out of the valley, it was like the soft and clear voice of a young girl.
"Yes." The old woman replied, then stepped back slowly and walked away quietly.
After a few breaths, the sliding door on the corridor opened to both sides.
Behind the door, there is a large couch.
The couch was covered with a pink gauze tent.
And within the curtain, a figure lying on his side could be faintly seen.
Although Hades has not really appeared in front of these people, her alluring body curves and voice... have already made several men outside the door restless.
"Heh..." After a chuckle, Zhu Zhizha was the first to step forward.
As the saying goes, those who don't know are fearless. To this young prince, how could the graceful figure in front of him be associated with the word "dangerous"
"... this girl." Zhu Zhizha bowed and said, "Could it be... you are the King of Hades?".
