Tang riddles

Qianhe didn't know how Shen Jin knew her elder sister had come to rescue her all at once. As far as she knew, Shen Sui had been in a coma and hadn't woken up yet.But she was willing to believe in Shen Jin's judgment. Perhaps this was the tacit understanding between sisters who could know each other even if they were thousands of miles away.

It's just that right now she is caught by a feeling of despair and sadness, unable to move.Rescue came, which meant that her brief meeting with Shen Jin was coming to an end.No matter what, it was impossible for her to go back to Luoyang with Shen Jin.She has long been standing on the opposite side of them. After crossing this river, how can you see the other side when you look back.

But Shen Jin didn't seem to realize this yet. She was ecstatic about the arrival of the rescue, as if they would soon be able to subdue these gangsters and return to normal life together.But Qianhe knew that this was impossible, as long as Yafu was in their hands, she would definitely not be able to betray.No matter what, she wanted Yafu to live, and she could no longer bear the loss of her relatives.

They were pushed and shoved to go deep into the mountain along another fork in the cave.The surrounding environment became darker and darker, and the air began to become cloudy.There were only three or four torch-bearers in the procession, with lights scattered around for illumination.The cave tunnel was narrow enough for two people to pass through, and Shen Jin and Qianhe were separated in a long column.The two were clamped back and forth by the enemy, making it difficult to move.Since Shen Jin's lower body was paralyzed and unable to walk freely, she was lifted up and moved by two strong men behind and behind her.The scene in front of her was shaky, and the strong man's big hands like iron pincers grabbed her arms and legs tightly, which made her very uncomfortable.Suppressing the feeling of nausea, she tried hard to observe the situation around her, and thought about how to leave some traces so that the rescuers could track them down as soon as possible.

With the help of the swaying flames, she found that although the surrounding rock walls of the tunnel were extremely uneven, there were obvious traces of chiseling. This long tunnel should have been excavated manually.It looks like it's been a while.Shen Jin never knew that there was such an extremely deep tunnel in the Taishi Mountain of Songshan Mountain.She had a bad premonition and didn't know where the tunnel led.

The sound of chaotic footsteps and heavy panting was amplified several times in the narrow tunnel, and the sound of footsteps coming from behind could be vaguely heard. Although it was far away, someone must be catching up.The gangsters didn't seem to be in a hurry to panic at all, they seemed to have anticipated how to deal with the pursuers after they found their hiding place.

Shen Jin silently calculated the time and distance to go forward. It took less than a quarter of an hour to run out. They finally left the narrow and cramped tunnel. Suddenly, they came to a wider cave.Moreover, this cave is not fully enclosed, the top is open, and a ray of skylight can be seen, and a long series of spiral ascending stairs are chiseled on the cave wall, leading all the way to the top of the cave.

Without saying a word, this group of people immediately climbed to the top of the cave.But Shen Jin noticed that there were two people staying below, and they were throwing something on the ground. They continued all the way, and soon they were dragged to a place not far from the stairs.Then, the two took out fire pockets from their arms respectively, and waited for it.

Shen Jin suddenly realized that this group of people had planted black powder/powder in this cave, and they planned to lure the pursuers here, blow up the cave, and wipe out the pursuers!

She was extremely anxious, and wanted to call out to remind the pursuers, but she could not make a sound, and even if she called the flock of birds again, she would be powerless.

How to do how to do!Qianhe couldn't see, she didn't know what was going on around her, and it was impossible for her to remind her about the black fire/powder right now.What's more, under such circumstances, she can't ask Qianhe to help, Qianhe's Yafu is still in the hands of these people, she must think for Qianhe.

There was nothing she could do, and waves of despair came to her heart.

The footsteps at the entrance of the cave were getting closer, and the pursuers were about to come out, and the two people at the bottom of the stairs had already lit the torches.

At this critical moment, an extremely loud eagle cry was suddenly heard, and a white-necked black-feathered eagle swooped down from the sky, drilled through the open ceiling of the cave, and suddenly rushed towards the two people holding the torch. enemy.The giant eagle came so suddenly that the two of them were caught off guard, and the torches in their hands fell to the ground. One of them went out, and the other splashed a few sparks, which happened to land on the black fire. /On the fuse of the medicine, before Naihe could ignite it, the black eagle threw one of them down, and the back of that person just pressed on the spark, completely extinguishing it.

The black eagle's claws were extremely sharp, and after a few scratches, the two men were immediately torn apart and screamed in pain.They drew out their knives angrily, and slashed at the black eagle, but the black eagle was very clever. After achieving the goal, he did not love to fight, and immediately flew into the air, avoiding the attacks of the two.

At that time, at the entrance of the cave, a large number of imperial guard soldiers rushed in.They move like the wind, silently, and communicate with each other only with gestures as chant.As soon as they entered the cave, several soldiers rushed out immediately, holding the bundled canopy branches in their hands, sweeping the ground, destroying all the leads of the black fire/powder.Another group of soldiers hung ropes from the cliff, swung down, and took off all the black fire/powder bags that the murderer had placed on the cliff.

At the same time, there are still a large number of imperial guards standing at the end of the stairs, waiting for the bandits to throw themselves into the net.

Shen Jin suddenly felt the team's advance stop abruptly, and the two strong men who were supporting her gasped and asked in panic:

"Pope! What to do?!"

The person in front did not answer.

Not long after, Shen Jin suddenly heard a cold snort coming from the front, and then the deep male voice sounded again:

"Hmph, just a few hundred people trying to trap me? Come with me!"

The team moved quickly again and continued to climb towards the top of the cave.Shen Jin was shocked. The tall, burly man with a deep voice was clearly the leader of this group of cultists.With such an interception before and pursuit after, is this person reckless and arrogant, or is he really sure that he thinks that only a dozen or so people in this area can break through the encirclement of hundreds or thousands of soldiers of the Imperial Army? Did you successfully leave with the prince?

Soon, Shen Jin got the answer.

While bumping and trembling, she could vaguely see the tall black figure in front of her through the gap in the team.On his back was a dark cylindrical object.Right now, he took it down.Immediately, Shen Jin heard the sound of the mechanism, "Kacha Kacha", he seemed to be assembling and adjusting the black lacquered cylinder. The thing looked quite huge, with countless holes in it, which seemed to be like the pear blossom needle of the Tangmen rainstorm. enlarged version of .

not good!Shen Jin suddenly realized what that thing was.

"Everyone, put on your masks!" the man ordered.

In the fast-moving team, everyone kept moving forward while taking out a mask without straps from their backpack. The outer shell of the mask was made of copper with holes on it, and it seemed to have a filter layer inside.The mask only covered the lower half of the face, and the outer shell of the mask was melted and cast into the appearance of an evil spirit with its fangs open, which was very ferocious.There is a mouthpiece in it, which can be fixed on the cheek by biting it with the mouth, without the need for a strap to fix it.

Qianhe also had such a mask, but Shen Jin didn't have it, and the two strong men who were carrying her didn't seem to intend to put it on her either.

Qianhe reacted very quickly. After hearing the leader's order, she expected them to do so, so she yelled from behind:

"Don't hold your breath!"

This nonsensical remark made her partner around her give her a vicious look, but no one had time to trouble her in such an urgent situation.When Shen Jin received Qianhe's reminder, he knew it even more.

They are going to use the poisonous smoke to escape again!

Shen Jin raised her head with difficulty. She had to grasp the timing of holding her breath, neither too early nor too late, so she had to carefully watch the movements of the leader man in front of her.

Seeing that the stairs on the cave wall were about to climb to the end, the scene in front of him became brighter and dazzling.Shen Jin didn't know how long he had been in the cave, it seemed short and long, his eyes had already adapted to the darkness.Right now, she was suddenly enveloped by light, and she only felt pain in her head, as if being pressed by a heavy object, and she couldn't open her eyes.

Then she suddenly heard a "bang" sound of the mechanism starting.Her heart trembled, she couldn't care less, she opened her mouth and took a deep breath, and immediately held it back.

The next moment, she was led into the smoke.

What happened next, it was difficult for her to see clearly with her eyes, she could only hear muffled groans and cries of pain from all around, but there was not much movement.She could tell that the team was advancing very carefully, and the leader was very cunning. He deliberately made noise in the opposite direction, killed the imperial army, and then bypassed the confused crowd in the smoke, led the team in a circle, and turned back. , Actually escaped from the encirclement of hundreds of people.

These gangsters are absolutely well-trained.The mouthpiece of the mask is like the stick used by the most elite troops of the Tang Dynasty army when marching in a hurry, it can prevent the team members from making unnecessary noises.They cooperate with each other with a high degree of tacit understanding, and they have unconditional trust and obedience to their leader, and they can execute orders [-]% of the time.Such an enemy really frightened Shen Jin.

In addition, these people had obviously been trained in assassination. Everyone killed people very simply with their knives.Their steps are also very special, they walk like civet cats, silently.The strangest thing is that their judgment of direction is unusually keen. Even in such a smoky environment, they still have a way to distinguish the direction and know where they should go.

But things in this world, after all, one thing overcomes one thing.When it comes to fighting wits, Shen Jin thinks that no one in this world can truly defeat his elder sister Shen Sui.Even if the opponent gains the upper hand for a while, sister will entangle the opponent like a shadow that cannot be shaken off, until they come back and win the battle.My sister has been fighting with this group of people until now, but the other party just took advantage of being in the dark and taking advantage of surprises, not really defeating my sister in an open and honest fight.

So when the team stopped suddenly, Shen Jin smiled, because she heard the voice that she was so familiar with that made her cry:

"Everyone, you stole the treasures of my Tang family and my Shen family, can you return them here? Otherwise, Shen can't let you go." The voice was full of laughter, as if seeing an old friend, full of interest .

Auntie, are you right? If they let the prince and me go, you will let them go?Shen Jin really couldn't laugh or cry.

"Hmph!" There was another cold snort, and the tall man in the lead raised his hand and gestured backwards, motioning for everyone to join in.Shen Jin was thrown to the ground roughly, and the two strong men didn't even think about being gentle with her.

Witnessing this scene, Shen Sui's eyes became colder and colder.

Shen Jin was thrown to the ground, struggled to get up, and took a closer look, only to find that sister did not appear here alone, beside her were Hutuo, Blue Robin, Huyan Zhuoma, Liu Li , Lu Yi and other brothers in the Luoyang branch, except for the sister who is the leader, everyone's face is covered with a piece of wet black cloth, and the dripping water has already wet the clothes on the chest. Covered the mouth and nose.

At this moment, Shen Jin was so breathless that he couldn't stop breathing.

Suddenly, a hand pinched her chin, forcing her to open her mouth, and then a mask was put on Shen Jin's cheek.

"Breathe!" Chizuru's voice sounded in her ears.

Shen Jin immediately gasped, and Qianhe's hand stroked her back to help her breathe.But she herself held her breath and said nothing.

Behind Shen Sui, the members of the Qianyu Sect and the gangster party headed by the tall man all clenched their weapons and fell into a confrontation.Qianhe sat cross-legged beside Shen Jin silently, she didn't seem to intend to help anyone.Moreover, she was seriously injured, running all the way here had already exhausted her whole body's strength, and she was indeed unable to move.

Er, Shen Sui spoke:

"You let the prince and my younger brother go, I can let you go, this deal, do you want to do it or not?"

Shen Jin was taken aback: Sister, you really plan to let them go!
