Dare to lose the country and live up to the emperor II

Pang Ce and Zhan Pei had been searching the secret room all day, and they were only three feet away from digging, but they still found nothing.

"Strange, this place is so big, how could there be no clues at all?" Zhan Pei raised his head and asked, "Hey, where were you at that time?"

"It's right under your feet." Ponce stood up straight and looked around.

"Isn't that facing the stone gate?" Zhan Pei walked to the stone gate that had been blocked by a boulder.

It is impossible to break it with his skill, but what should we do now to break it?Zhan Pei felt troubled.

"Yes, when Yang You and the others found me, I was lying there," Pang Ce thought for a moment and said, "I still can't figure it out. He said that I was poisoned, but in the end, someone solved it. What is it? what happened?"

"Have you ever been poisoned?" Zhan Pei walked up to him and looked left and right, "Do you know what kind of poison you got?"

"Snake venom." Ponce remembered asking the doctor after waking up, "But I don't know what kind of snake venom it is."

"Are there any snakes here?" Zhan Pei looked around.

"Yes, there are many."

"Then why can't I see it?"

"They all disappeared for whatever reason."

"Since the snake can disappear from here without a sound, it means that there must be an exit leading to the outside." Zhan Pei searched again without giving up.

"Yeah, why didn't I think of it." Pang Ce suddenly realized that he had been troubled by trivial matters before, but he had forgotten this one.

Although it might be difficult to find a passage as big as a stone gate, it should be much easier to find a passage for snakes to come and go.

Ponze called more people, and everyone lit the torches and put the torches close to the ground. If there is a hole, the fire of the torches will definitely be blown, so it will be much easier to find.

After careful searching, when it was dark, I finally found something.

"General." Someone obviously found something.

Both Pang Ce and Zhan Pei hurried over. The torches held by the soldiers did show signs of being blown by the wind. Obviously there must be a hole there, but snake holes are usually not very big, so they still need to be continuously excavated.

......

Gongsun Mingyue lost his way. He felt that he was walking all the time, but he couldn't get out no matter how he walked. He seemed to be spinning in circles. Seeing that the sun had gone from east to west, and the sky would gradually darken, he couldn't help feeling worried Get up, there won't be any poisonous snakes and beasts in this place, right?At that time, my small body will not be enough for them to fit between their teeth.

The yellow sun shone behind Gongsun Mingyue. He also relied on his intuition. When he came out in the morning, he walked with his back to the sun. Now he is also walking with his back to the sun. He should be able to return to the bamboo building. His idea was right at first, but in the end But still went wrong.

The road in front of Gongsun Mingyue is getting more and more strange. In the morning, he remembered the flowers all over the mountains and plains, but now there are no flowers, and the ground is barren and barren. Did he go wrong?

But in the face of the increasingly dark sky, he could only continue to move forward. He hadn't had any water for a day, and his body was a little weak. He just wanted to find a place to rest and relax his body and mind.

Gongsun Mingyue looked at the bare surroundings, and he couldn't help but smiled wryly: "What's going on? Where are those flowers, where are those bamboos? What about those gurgling water? Where did they go?"

Although he wanted to give up, the whizzing sound from his ears made his hairs stand on end. The sound was so familiar. Just a few days ago, he and Ponze were attracted by these swishing things. The one who attacked, wouldn't it be such a coincidence that he would meet him again, right?

It was completely dark outside, Gongsun Mingyue could hardly see the dark poisonous snakes except for the sound, but he felt that there were many swimming towards him.

He held his breath, wondering what to do next.

As the voice became louder, he couldn't allow him to think too much, so he ran back, no matter what was waiting for him in front, it was better than being attacked to death by poisonous snakes, at least the appearance would not be too ugly.

He didn't know how long he had been running, but those swishing noises still didn't disappear. He felt that these poisonous snakes were so close that they seemed to be close to his body. Deep down.

Suddenly her feet slipped, and Gongsun Mingyue felt that she had fallen into a cold bottomless abyss. Yes, in such a night, falling to death is much better than being eaten by snakes and leaving no bones.

Pang Ce and Zhan Pei dug until midnight before they finally dug the snake hole. Behind the secret room was a vast wasteland with no light at all.

"Where is this place?" Zhan Pei raised the torch and lit it around.

"I don't know, I never knew there was such a secret passage in the palace." Pang Ce stepped forward, facing the vast wasteland, the first reaction in his mind was where did Gongsun Mingyue go?

If he walked out of the secret room safely, where did he go now?If he unfortunately died, what about his body?

"Go to the mansion to mobilize more people, and everyone will try their best to find Lord Gongsun." Pang Ce ordered the subordinates behind him.

"Yes."

The night was almost over, and everyone found nothing. Seeing that the morning sun had passed the horizon and gradually climbed up the branches, everyone felt hopeless.

"Brother Gongsun." Zhan Pei had been yelling all night, and his throat was already hoarse.

Pang Ce just looked around, not giving up a single bit of space, but unfortunately the place here is too big, and it probably won't be found within a few days.

"General, according to my subordinates, Lord Gongsun is not here at all."

"Where would he go if he wasn't here?" Ponce couldn't believe it, he knew he must still be alive.

"Look, we've been searching all night, and we don't have any clues at all. How about..."

"Even if we turn this place around, I have to find him for this king." Pang Ce said angrily.

"General Pang, be safe and don't be impatient. It's not necessarily a bad thing if you can't find it. At least it means that Brother Gongsun is not dead." In contrast, Zhan Pei was much calmer.

That's right, what's wrong with me, why every time I encounter him, I'm always upset, why can't I settle down and think about a solution?

"General, General Yang is back, and he brought back a person." The subordinate came down to inform Pang Ce.

"Who?"

"Master Gongsun."

......

Pang Ce looked at the haggard Gongsun Mingyue on the bed, the pain in his heart could not be concealed, his face was covered with mud, the shoes on his feet were gone, and there were many wounds on his feet, with fine sand in the wounds, His arms and calves were bruised and purple, where did he go?

"Brother Gongsun, wake up." Zhan Pei called anxiously from the side.

"Where did you find Master Gongsun?" Pang Ce asked Yang You.

"At the foot of Xifeng Mountain, my subordinates have been sending people to guard there, because it is the only high mountain in the southwest, so my subordinates have always suspected that this Xifeng Mountain might be Longtou Mountain," Yang You said, "Midnight At that time, a soldier came to report that he heard a rumbling sound on the side of the mountain, which seemed to be the roar of some monster. I was worried, so I hurried over to check."

"Monster?"

"That's what the soldiers said." Yang You continued, "When my subordinates got there, they happened to find Mr. Gongsun lying in the grass with scars all over his body. My subordinates immediately asked the soldiers to carry them into the tent and ask the military doctor to see him. He said that there is no serious problem with his life, he just needs to take care of his body, so the subordinates saw that the sky was getting brighter, so they quickly brought him back to the mansion with the soldiers."

"But there is one thing that is very strange." Yang You said doubtfully.

"What's strange."

"My subordinates have searched that mountain many times, but I have never seen Lord Gongsun's shadow, and I will check around the mountain every day to make sure that everything is normal before I come back. During the day, my subordinates obviously don't I saw someone in the grass."

Yes, everything is too strange, Gongsun Mingyue suddenly disappeared, and now suddenly reappears, where he went these days, we can only find out when he wakes up, but luckily he came back alive, Pang Ce has something in his heart A little consolation.

"Gongsun Mingyue, you must wake up as soon as possible." Pang Ce whispered in his ear, and he believed he could hear it.

......

Gongsun Mingyue felt that her body had been floating in the air, why hasn't it landed on the ground after so long, someone whispered in her ear, who is it?

The voice sounds so familiar yet so far away, is Ponze you?Do you still remember Gongsun Mingyue three years ago?No, you forgot, I forgot, we all forgot, just let me sleep well and never wake up again.

For the whole day, Ponce didn't take a step away from him. He didn't eat or drink water. He didn't dare to walk away. He was afraid that if he woke up and found no one by his side, he would be lost.

"General, it's getting late, Master Gongsun probably won't wake up so soon, you'd better have some food first." Yang You walked into the house with the food, and he felt that the general was rather haggard within a day.

"You can put it there, I'll eat it later." Ponze said without raising his head.

Yang You shook his head and put the food on the table. He had never seen a general so distraught. What happened to him?

As soon as the food was put down, someone came to report that Zhan Pei came back, and he was in charge of going to Xifeng Mountain to find out the situation. Now that he has returned home, he said that he has something important to discuss and asked everyone to go to the study so as not to disturb Brother Gongsun's rest.

Pang Ce stood up, carefully helped Gongsun Mingyue press the quilt, then waved his hand, and walked out of the room with Yang You.

Just as Pon Ce walked away, a black figure jumped out from a dark corner of the garden. He was wearing a black cloth and looked around to see if anyone was following him. Then he jumped up and rushed into Gongsun Mingyue's room through the window. Gongsun Mingyue was breathing steadily. Lying on the bed, the man in black sneered, took out a white paper bag from his waist, and then tiptoed to Gongsun Mingyue's bedside, just as he was about to pour the powder in the paper bag into Gongsun Mingyue's mouth, There was a commotion outside.

"There are assassins."
