Night slowly fell, and the holy stone in Wen Qingzhu's purse finally stopped generating heat.
After finding a suitable cave, Wen Qingzhu and others went in to rest.
After lighting the fire, Wen Qingzhu winked at Xi'er and asked her to knock Aji unconscious.
After there were no outsiders, Wen Qingzhu called everyone over.
"According to the information obtained so far, the place where the Marquis is trapped should be Wushen Mountain. According to Zhang Ke's letter, after he sent this letter, he also brought people here, but there has been no news."
The captain of the guard asked: "Even the Marquis can't escape. We have so few people, and all the Ha family members are dead. It will be difficult for us to save the Marquis and others, right?"
"There are indeed very few of us, and the night watchman Aji mentioned has been tracking us." Wen Qingzhu's tone was heavy.
In Yuhua Town, she inquired about the Wu Clan and Fu Lie in Cangzhou.
Before setting off, Jiang Yuanhan told her that Fu Lie went to the Cangyun Mountains, but no news has come back yet.
Zhang Ke felt something was wrong, so he quietly led people to rescue people.
Now in Cangzhou City, the person in charge of the overall situation is Yuan Mian. He is very powerful, good at martial arts, and very resourceful.
The most important thing is that Princess Runan's favorite daughter, Princess Pinghui, likes Yuan Mian very much.
Now Fu Lie's life and death are unknown, and Cangzhou has been closed again.
She must rescue Fu Lie first!
"How does Madam know?" The guard captain didn't understand.
Wen Qingzhu took out the holy stone to show them and told them the reaction of the holy stone last night and shortly after leaving the village.
"Is this stone so powerful?" The guard captain also began to be cautious.
Wen Qingzhu stared at the stone: "I think this stone is really so powerful, but at the same time, I guess that the night watchmen can keep tracking it because of this stone."
"What are you going to do, madam?"
Wen Qingzhu handed the stone to him: "Can you try splitting this stone in half?"
The guard captain nodded and took the stone, but his hand that was originally raised hesitated.
Wen Qingzhu brought the stone over again, and the guard captain suddenly woke up and stared at the stone in Wen Qingzhu's hand warily: "Madam! This stone..."
"Spiritual." Wen Qingzhu could only say this.
"What should we do? How about I give the knife to Madam?" The guard captain immediately handed over the knife.
When Wen Qingzhu took the knife, the only warmth on the stone suddenly dropped.
At the same time, the night watchman tracking in the mountains suddenly stopped.
The person at the back asked the person at the front: "What happened?"
The leader said in an extremely heavy voice: "The Holy Stone is asleep!"
"Destroyed?" The person behind asked immediately.
The leader shook his head: "No, it doesn't look like Yuanpan's reaction, but the connection between Yuanpan and the holy stone has indeed been severed."
"Only priests or people who are about to become priests can do this. How is it possible?" Someone questioned and couldn't believe it.
The leader looked at the dark night ahead: "It seems we can only catch up to here."
"Then we just go back empty-handed? How can we explain it to the priest? The young master's health is getting worse and worse, and he won't be able to survive for long."
Some people started to get anxious.
The leader put away the disk, looked at the direction from which he came, and then looked ahead.
He said firmly: "They should be going to Wushen Mountain. Let's go back first. The Holy Stone will come back sooner or later!"
No one questioned, everyone followed the leader and turned around and disappeared into the mountains.
It was daybreak, and Aji was pushed awake.
He stood up suddenly, and someone threw him a piece of bread: "Eat quickly, we are about to set off."
Aji held the cake in his hand that was as cold as turning his head, feeling very unhappy.
Why didn't you give him food last night? His stomach was growling with hunger.
And there was a fire last night, so it would be great to heat it up and eat it.
But he didn't dare to complain. After all, people were under the eaves and could only bow their heads.
This time, the mountain road began to become obvious in front of them.
To be on the safe side, they chose to take the untraveled road while hiding their traces along the way.
In this way, they unintentionally slowed down their progress.
It was not until evening that a large mountain surrounded by mountains appeared in front of them.
Under the reflection of the setting sun, the mountain seemed to be coated with a layer of golden light.
Aji stared blankly at the mountain: "Madam, that is the Wushen Mountain, where the Wu people have lived for generations."
Wen Qingzhu didn't say anything. She could naturally see such a unique mountain.
After sitting down and resting for half an hour, the guard captain came back to report the news they had found out.
"There are about two hills from our place to Wushen Mountain. If we go there at normal speed, it may take three hours."
Wen Qingzhu nodded: "It's not too far. Let's look for a resting place nearby and move at night."
"yes!"
As night fell, Wen Qingzhu and his party all changed into night clothes.
They began to move towards the Wushen Mountain. The Wu people had a very good advantage and rarely went out at night.
But now is a special time, Wen Qingzhu does not exclude exceptions, there will be people patrolling.
In addition, the night watchman is also the most powerful enemy they know so far.
After groping for a while, they reached the first hill.
Soon, they discovered that there were people on this mountain.
A mile ahead on the mountainside, a wooden house hidden in the bamboo forest shines with a ray of light.
"Madam, do you want to go over and inquire about it?"
According to the current situation, they must go and inquire.
Otherwise, they cannot move forward.
And if you're lucky, you can catch an original resident here.
After hesitating for a moment, Wen Qingzhu handed the guard captain a small medicine bottle: "Take this, if you encounter danger, the most important thing is to protect yourself!"
"Understood, my subordinates will go first!" The guard captain nodded and turned to tell the rest of the people to protect Wen Qingzhu.
The time they agreed on was half an hour. No matter what the situation of the inquiry was, he had to come back.
But now half an hour has passed, and the guard captain has never returned.
Someone asked: "Madam, would you like to come over and take a look?"
Wen Qingzhu raised his hand: "Wait another two-quarters of an hour. If he hasn't come back yet, we will all retreat temporarily!"
The man had no choice but to retreat and wait patiently.
Time passed minute by minute, and two quarters of an hour was not long.
But for people like Wen Qingzhu and others who count time every minute, every day seems like a year.
Seeing that two quarters of an hour was about to pass, everyone was retreating.
Suddenly there was movement from the bamboo forest, and someone came out of the house.
Wen Qingzhu frowned for a moment, something was wrong!
But then, a thin boy came out holding a torch and made a few gestures to Wen Qingzhu and the others.
Someone immediately understood: "Madam, this is the code between us! It means let us pass! But..."
"The person who made this gesture is not the captain!" Wen Qingzhu looked at the little boy with serious eyes.
Is this a trick by the enemy to lure them
After a moment of silence, the little boy looked back at the room hesitantly.
Then he seemed to have made a decision, holding a torch and walking towards Wen Qingzhu and the others.
Wen Qingzhu immediately ordered: "Retreat to the left and right sides, pay attention to concealment! Take action directly when it's time to take action!"
Everyone retreated one after another.
The little boy got closer and closer, and his face became clearer and clearer.
At the same time, Wen Qingzhu noticed that the little boy had a hat on his head.
The bright fur made her think that hat—
etc!
That hat is moving!
Wen Qingzhu suddenly opened his eyes wide and found that the hat on the little boy's head suddenly stood up.
A pair of green bean-sized eyes stared at them, emitting the sound of crops in the silent night.
The little boy's steps suddenly stopped. He turned towards Wen Qingzhu and said hesitantly in unfamiliar Mandarin: "Master, Master is in the room, Yang, brother Yang Jiu is also here!"
Yang Jiu!
Wen Qingzhu looked intently for a moment. When she was about to walk out, Xi'er held her back.
She nodded to Xi'er, saying it was okay.
Wen Qingzhu took out the Luminous Pearl and held it in front of himself.
At this moment, she saw the little boy stretch his neck and his eyes widened instantly.
Wen Qingzhu walked out slowly and stopped ten meters away from the little boy: "How do you know Yang Jiu?"
For a long time, the little boy still had the same dull expression.
Wen Qingzhu asked again, and the dark pine-colored animal on the little boy's head stretched out its paw and patted his head.
The little boy finally came to his senses, his face flushed under the firelight: "Sister Fairy, Brother Yang Jiu was accidentally injured. The big brother you sent over, he asked me to come and pick you up. This, this is the big brother. A token from my brother."
With that said, the little boy took out a waist card.
Wen Qingzhu took a closer look and saw that it was indeed the captain's.
After being silent for a long time, she still waved everyone to come out.
If something really happened, this little boy could become their hostage.
Fortunately, if you follow the little boy carefully, there is no danger.
And the guard captain and Yang Jiu are really here.
Before entering, a guard checked around the house as usual. After making sure everything was okay, Wen Qingzhu was allowed in.
When he arrived at Yang Jiu, Wen Qingzhu found that he was extremely seriously injured, his face was green, and he seemed to be poisoned.
She looked at the guard captain again and saw that he was also poisoned.
But it was just an ordinary anesthetic. Wen Qingzhu gave him the antidote to take.
After a while, the guard captain recovered and blamed himself and told Wen Qingzhu: "It's all because of my subordinates' fault. They didn't understand Master Yang Jiu's hint, so they moved their hands and accidentally hurt each other."
"It's okay, just be one of our own." Wen Qingzhu sat next to Yang Jiu and took his pulse.
When I saw it, my heart sank.
There are at least ten kinds of poisons in Yang Jiu's body.
Among them is the heart-eating poison. I don't know if it is because the poisons are incompatible, but Yang Jiu is not in danger of his life for the time being.
However, his body was seriously injured and he was unable to move or speak.
"Xi'er, bring me the medicine bag!"
Wen Qingzhu found a long-lost feeling. She was also poisoned back then.
After arriving at Medicine God Valley, Xie Feichen fought poison with poison and temporarily saved her life.
After a night of treatment, Yang Jiu finally regained his ability to speak.
"Ma'am, please take a rest first."
Staying awake all night, Wen Qingzhu concentrated on treating him, and his expression was already very bad.
Wen Qingzhu shook his head: "Give me some more time to get rid of this heart-eating poison first."
Yang Jiu knew his wife's temperament, so he said nothing more.
It was only when he saw the little boy staring at Wen Qingzhu at the door that he shouted: "Maomao, come here, Madam likes children very much."
