Tang riddles

She felt like she was running forward, uncontrollably, at a speed that she didn't want.Her consciousness seemed to be separated from her body, as if she was watching a strange soul controlling her body.She doesn't like this feeling, but she can't break free.She felt an unprecedented emptiness, and a kind of bone-chilling cold brought about by the silence of the fire in her heart was constantly eroding her.

Who am I?Where am I going?What do I want to do?

The three questions of philosophical thinking that existed in ancient times, which are ridiculous to ordinary people, have become the biggest problem that needs to be solved urgently for her.

But she knew that the fire in her heart had not been completely extinguished. Even after three months of inhuman torture, she still had a faint hope, and that hope supported her, and always supported her to retain a sliver of self-awareness .She is waiting for someone, waiting for someone to rescue her; so that she can return with the person who rescued her, repay the grace of shelter to one person, and fulfill the promise of lifelong mutual promise to another person.

I... can't die yet... she said to herself countless times.

But the three ancient questions still linger in her mind, she is so confused that she doesn't know the answer.All the memories are gone, she wants to get them back, but she doesn't know the direction.The strange soul occupying her mind has been tormenting her and commanding her body wantonly.Now the soul is roaring manically again: Go ahead, kill them, kill the Xue brothers, this is the mission entrusted to you by the Holy Lord.

Yes, maybe this is the answer to the ancient three questions: I am an assassin, I go to the army, and I want to kill people.

……

Under the night, Fan Yangcheng was noisy and restless.The flames of Nanshi were soaring into the sky, and the smoke filled the air.The Xue brothers stood on the watchtower of the military camp in the northern suburbs outside the city, looking at the situation inside the city.Xue Chuzhen smiled presumptuously and said:

"Hahahaha, Fifth Brother, I am really happy that my confidant's serious troubles have been eliminated tonight."

Xue Chuyu was not as happy as his reckless elder brother, his face was serious, and he always felt that the matter was not over yet.

"Report!" I don't know how many heralds climbed up the watchtower, and reported breathlessly:

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, Ambassador! Our army entered through the underground entrance of the Li Mansion, wiped out 38 members of the cult's followers, and seized 360 and seven slaves. Three regiment battalions are going house-to-house in the city to arrest the followers of the cult. There are 52 people. The cult leader Blood Girl, An Lushan, and Shi Gan are at large!"

"Escaped?!" Xue Chuyu frowned, "How could we let them escape! Our actions are fast enough, haven't we caught them off guard?"

"Fifth brother, the three caves of the cunning rabbit!" Xue Chuzhen said, and he immediately ordered:

"Immediately send more troops to blockade the four areas of Fanyang, and start a carpet search! Especially in the mountains around Fanyang, each brigade must receive a topographic map of Fanyang's underground fortifications, guard the assigned positions, and prevent the other party from using the dug tunnels to escape!"

"Decree!" The herald left in a hurry.

"Fourth brother, if we don't catch the three leaders of the cult, we won't be at ease for a moment. The cult's methods are cunning and tricky. This time we hit them hard, there is no guarantee that they will use some tricks to retaliate against us. We must strengthen our security." Xue Chuyu said.

"Fifth brother, you are too timid and cautious. We are in the army, no matter how powerful the cult is, how can we dig a tunnel into our big tent? If there is such a moment, thousands of people will fight with swords and axes, They were also chopped into minced meat. Why should I be afraid of these rats who only know how to dig holes?" Xue Chuzhen didn't care.

Saying that, Xue Chuzhen took the lead to go down the watchtower, Xue Chuyu followed behind him, earnestly said:

"Fourth brother, don't take it lightly. Do you know the ability of the cult? The sage and the prince were still ambushed in the heavily guarded situation in Hanjiacang, and the prince was taken away. My Tang Dynasty suffered a hundred years. Shame and humiliation. Could it be that our Xue family army camp can be compared with the heavily guarded imperial city?"

"Hmph, those bastards raised by the sage, in the bustling capital of the capital, have been hollowed out by wine and sex, what else is there to do? We, Xue Jiaerlang, have guarded the Northern Territory for 50 years. Isn't it comparable? Alas, the sage is biased, For several years in a row, he sent people to our place to monitor us and spy on us. Believe it or not? Now he has appointed his daughter here, trying to completely take away Hebei, which our Xue family has operated for decades. Dreaming! Back then, father and Gao How close is Zong? It's a saint...huh!" Xue Chuzhen was indignant.

"Fourth brother! Keep your voice down! You are surrounded by eyes and ears. Do you really want a saint to separate me before you are willing? If this word is heard by Li Jinyue, we will die for the crime of treason!" Xue Chuyu hurriedly stop him.

"Didn't we conspire against each other?" Xue Chuzhen asked coldly as she walked down the watchtower, turned to look at her scheming and decisive younger brother.

Xue Chuyu's throat choked, and the two brothers looked at each other speechlessly for a while.

Xue Chuzhen gasped in anger for a moment, finally lowered her voice, and said through gnashing of teeth, "The three towns of Heshuo have always been important military sites, and they are the most valued by the saints. Three generations of my Xue family have been loyal to the Tang Dynasty and put down the border chaos. Until now, Heshuo In Anping, flying birds are good bows. In the eyes of the sages, we are thorns in the flesh, conspiracy is rebellion, not conspiracy is rebellion, the knife is on the neck, so why worry about it?"

Pointing to the ground, he continued: "This underground fortress was dug by Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period to store grain, and it was continuously expanded by several generations of generals stationed in Youzhou. After entering the Tang Dynasty, my Xue family also had a share! Look at Shen Sui, he They are the spies of Dali Temple! There are also Zhang's father and son, they are the eyes and ears of Yushitai. They are under the banner of exterminating the cult in name, but in fact they are here to collect evidence of our conspiracy? With the talents of these people, While investigating the cult, we must have discovered the underground fortress and the thousands of troops concentrated there, can we still survive? Fifth brother, Shen Sui and Zhang's father and son cannot stay, otherwise we will die."

"You killed Shen Sui, Zhang's father and son, and the princess of Jin!" Xue Chuyu said.

"She... can't stay either, but they were not killed by my Xue family, but by the cult." Xue Chuzhen said coldly.

Xue Chuyu said: "Fourth brother, if you want people not to know, you have to do nothing yourself. If we really kill the princess of Jin, Shen Sui and Zhang's father and son, we will be convicted of treason and there will be no turning back. I Nothing can be guaranteed.”

"That has to be done! Fifth, don't ask for the kindness of a woman, this is your only shortcoming."

"Now that we have wiped out the cult, it is also a great achievement, and the saint will definitely consider it..."

"Shut up! Fifth, I listen to you all the time, but this is the only thing I can't listen to. Don't argue with me anymore, I'm the military commander of Youzhou." After finishing speaking, Xue Chuzhen walked away.

Xue Chuyu looked at the back of her stubborn brother leaving, and sighed deeply.He lingered in place for a while, thinking that it was best not to be separated from his brother in this extraordinary period, after thinking twice, he followed.

Walking along the camp road with numerous military tents, Xue Chuyu led the guards around him and turned around several military tents familiarly. Not far away was the place where the big tents were discussed. He wanted to come to his four elder brothers Should have gone there.Every time he wants to spend the night in the big camp, he will drink a pot of warm wine in the big tent before going to bed, and look at the map for a while, and tonight is probably no exception.

Walking up the straight road leading to the big tent, Xue Chuyu really saw his elder brother walking alone in front of him.Farther away, at the entrance of the big tent, a young general was standing there. When he saw Xue Chuzhen walking towards him, he clasped his fists and saluted from a distance.Xue Chuyu saw through the campfire outside the big tent that it was his son Xue Song.

Why is this brat still in camp so late?Didn't he be asked to go back home earlier today to accompany his mother?Xue Chuyu was confused and angry.

He stepped forward, trying to catch up with his brother.In front of him, his son Xue Song also left the front of the big tent to meet his fourth uncle.Xue Chuzhen saw his nephew and was just about to speak when something happened at this moment.

In the blink of an eye, Xue Chuyu seemed to hear something being torn apart with a "poof".Then he saw his brother's body freeze suddenly.Probably relying on some kind of inertia, his body was still moving forward, but his head rolled backwards, breaking off his neck shockingly, rolling on the ground, the blood in his neck even had time to splash out in the future. out.

The headless corpse shook twice on the spot, as if it was looking for its own head. This weird and funny scene made Xue Chuyu and Xue Song freeze in place. The blood flowed back from their bodies for a while, and their brains went blank, not knowing how to react.

A moment later, Xue Chuzhen's tall and muscular body smashed to the ground like a golden mountain and jade pillars, announcing his death.

"Fourth Brother!!! (Fourth Uncle!!!)" Two shrill calls rang out.

Immediately afterwards, the tent next to Xue Chuzhen's body seemed to be cut horizontally from the inside, and fell off at neck height unresponsively. A black shadow suddenly emerged from the broken tent and directly moved towards him. Xue Song rushed forward.

"Song'er, stay away!" Xue Chuyu only had time to shout, and watched the black shadow cheetah rush towards Xue Song.Xue Song panicked, just put his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist, and before he had time to pull out the knife, he saw the black shadow rushing towards him. He only saw a pale face blindfolded by a long black cloth. For a moment, amidst his pitiful and terrified screams, a flash of lightning flashed across his throat, and blood spattered out horribly, splashing on the killer's face.She maintained the posture of drawing the sword, lunged and pressed her hips, and held the samurai broadsword in her right hand flat to her side.Only when she heard Xue Song's miserable cry, she slowly straightened up, stood still, and swung the knife gracefully, the blood on the knife was splashed on the ground by her.

"Ah!!!!" Xue Chuyu roared like a wounded beast, attracting the killer's attention.She turned her head slightly, her loose long hair and long strips of black cloth blindfolded fluttered with the night wind, and the firelight reflected her pale skin, like a god of death harvesting life.

Reaper sheathed her samurai broadsword and walked slowly towards the direction of the sound source.

Xue Chuyu lost two close relatives in an instant, and suddenly fell into great pain and unbelievable madness. He struggled to rush towards the death god in black, but was hugged tightly by the soldiers around him.The guards were frightened and did not dare to confront the god of death, but they still loyally protected Xue Chuyu.

"Ambassador, run away!" the soldiers roared, their voices full of fear.He has a strong body, and even put Xue Chuyu on his shoulders, and ran to the distance.

"Kill her!!! Kill her!!!" While the guards were carrying Xue Chuyu and running, Xue Chuyu shouted hysterically, her eyes were already red.

His roar was answered, the emergency bugle sounded, and all the officers and men of the night watch in the army rushed here quickly.Some of them stood in front of Xue Chuyu, and some directly attacked the black-clothed god of death.There were more soldiers coming from far away in the night, and for a while, the entire Xue family army camp woke up, and the camp horns of tens of thousands of troops stretching for miles resounded through the sky.

The god of death walked forward slowly without realizing it, when the first wave of soldiers around her attacked, she suddenly drew her sword and turned around, and a large piece fell down.When some unbelievers attacked again, she did the same thing again, and repeated this three or four times, dozens of soldiers died under her feet.

The handover of short soldiers is unfavorable, and the soldiers exchanged for Mo Dao to fight against the god of death.The long-handled big Mo knives slashed at the god of death, but the god of death didn't care at all and didn't avoid it. On the contrary, the soldiers of Mo knife wielding the knives fell to the ground in unison before the knives fell, dying of breath.It turned out that at some point, four other assassins appeared on the top of the surrounding tents. Everyone was dressed in black and fully armed. Those Modao soldiers were smeared with poisonous shuriken and kunai, and they would die if they touched them.

Therefore, the soldiers surrounding Death had to be distracted to deal with the assassins on the top of the tent, but their movements were much slower than the assassins, and as soon as they arrived at the account, the assassins disappeared.

The god of death is still killing, no one can get close to her.She is fast with her swords, and she can always kill the soldiers first before the swords and axes are added to them.And the archers in the distance were even more helpless. First, there were too many comrades surrounding the enemy, and the bows and arrows could not be used; It was burning in the fire and couldn't be taken out at all.Only a few archers carried bows with them, mostly privately.

At that time, the emergency horn blew suddenly, and the shouts of killing from all directions in the camp became more and more intense. Hearing this movement, fighting started in all directions around the camp. time.A herald galloped around the camp on horseback, carrying military flags and horns on his back, desperately conveying the military orders of many lieutenants. However, there were no leaders in the camp, and the generals were in chaos. The soldiers didn't know whose orders to listen to.

The soldiers who attacked the black-clothed death were quickly killed, and the black-clothed death left the battlefield and quickly chased Xue Chuyu in the direction where Xue Chuyu was escaping.Her gait was strange, swift as the wind, and within a few steps, she sprang several feet away. Several black shadows flashed out from the darkness, merged with her, and quickly disappeared into the night.

At that time, Li Jinyue, who was entertaining the internal officials in the Gongyue army camp, suddenly heard the horns of the Xue family army camp next door blowing, and suddenly stood up from the banquet, accidentally knocked over the table in front of her, spilling food and wine all over the place.She immediately grabbed the big sword and gave an order to Cheng Yan who was standing by her side:

"Order the entire army to gather immediately and be fully armed and on standby. There must be no mistakes! Send scouts to check and report back quickly!"

Cheng Yi got the order and left immediately.She herself left the edict passer-in-law and rushed out of the big tent.She ran to the watchtower, caught a female soldier on the way and told:

"Go to my tent immediately and take Yang Yuhuan to the watchtower on the east side of the camp!"

"Yes!" The female soldier didn't dare to neglect, and hurried to go.

Li Jinyue continued to rush to the watchtower, climbed up the tower and looked into the distance, only to see the flames of war in the east, the night above the Xue family army camp was as bright as day, and the distance was full of shouting and killing.

Her heart sank suddenly, and Akashi hit the mark again...

[The following is the continuation content]

About a quarter of an hour later, the whole army of the Gongyue Army was assembled, and a thousand-man team lined up in a strict square formation, waiting for further instructions from Li Jinyue.

Li Jinyue was still watching from the watchtower. Seeing that the flames of war were about to spread, she knew that there should be no further delay, so she ordered the whole army to march immediately and go around due north, looking for an opportunity to break through and enter the Xue family's camp.

Li Jinyue got off the watchtower in two steps in three steps, stepped on her horse, and even had no time to put on her armor, so she drove out of the camp directly.The large army followed her closely, marching in an orderly and orderly manner.

Just when the whole army of Gongyue Army was about to leave the camp, the female soldier that Li Jinyue had sent to look for Yang Yuhuan rushed back, her face was full of panic and anxiety. bye:

"Princess! Yang Yuhuan is gone!"

"What?!" Li Jinyue's heart rose to her throat. At this juncture, where did this little girl go?There are wars everywhere and chaos, she has no power to restrain herself, and it is impossible to protect herself.

"You, return to the team immediately! Cheng Yi! You lead a brigade yourself to find Yang Yuhuan for me!"

"Decree!" Cheng Yi responded, and immediately ordered a brigade commander of the cavalry battalion behind him, ordering her brigade to follow him.Just when they pulled up their horses and were about to leave, Li Jinyue suddenly called to her:

"Wait, go... to Li's Mansion."

Cheng Yan turned his head to look at Li Jinyue, the princess's face was faintly visible in the firelight, making it hard to see clearly.

"Yes!" Cheng Yan replied loudly.

After Cheng Yan's brigade disappeared into the night, Li Jinyue led the army and set off again, heading towards the Xue family's camp.

……

Shen Sui and the others were once again trapped underground.

They originally followed the brigade of soldiers all the way out, but they didn't expect that the brigade of soldiers laid a broken dragon stone at the exit of the underground fortress, completely blocking the way out of the underground. Shen Sui and the others were blocked before they could catch up. Died in the cave.

"Master... what should we do?" Feng Zijian asked.After running around for half a day, everyone was exhausted, and now they were trapped, they didn't know where to go, and they were really restless.

"Let me think about it." Now Shen Sui's physical strength is not as good as before, and she is also sweating and exhausted after all this hard work.She sat down cross-legged on the spot, leaning on the thick dragon-breaking stone with grooves, holding the snow knife and meditating.The rest of the people also sat down around her, drinking water and resting.

"Master, drink water." Cong Yu handed the water bag to Shen Sui, Shen Sui took it and took a few sips.

"Sect Master, why did you follow that brigade of soldiers to this path? Isn't our purpose to capture the cult leaders of Fan Yang Yaxing?"

"When the soldiers of the brigade start to move, it means that the Xue family's army camp is in danger. Since they plan to fight the Xue family's army to the death, I'm afraid that our troubles in Fanyang Ya will be used by others. It is very likely that it was enlarged by the Xue family brothers. It made the vampire angry. The vampire originally planned to control the Xue brothers to further control the Xue family army. However, the Xue brothers refused to obey, and she no longer intends to continue this plan. She trained Goguryeo soldiers to prevent One day, she had to kill the net, she had the capital to severely damage the Xue family army. I wanted to follow those soldiers out of the underground fortress, and when we got outside, we should be able to find the vampire and her accomplices. However, things went against our wishes. For news outside, we must find a way to get out."

"We are making trouble in Fanyang Yahang, which is equivalent to catching fish upstream. It stands to reason that the evil church escapes from underground passages to other places. We only need to guard all the nearby exits of the underground passages, and we can wait for the rabbit and catch the big fish. Now, As soon as we entered the underground fortress, almost all the remnants of Goguryeo were dispatched. Could it be that the leader of the cult has already gone out after being mixed in with the army just now?" Feng Zijian speculated.

"It's possible, but it doesn't rule out that they split up. I don't know how many exits this underground fortress has. We have identified seven so far, and there may be more hidden in the dark. It is not enough to form a tight net, we have to rely on the strength of the military. Presumably, the Xue family should have already acted, and they may know the exits better than us. I am afraid that the Xue brothers themselves will be assassinated , this is very possible, cults have always been good at this." Shen Sui said.

"Would the leader of the cult still be hiding in this underground fortress? It's like a labyrinth below. No one can find out all the passages. They hide below. As long as there is enough food and water, they can You can stand the limelight before coming out." Cong Yun analyzed.

Shen Sui said: "It is precisely because I thought of this possibility that I decided to come down and take a look. It's just that it's not suitable to stay here for a long time, our main battlefield is still above the ground. Let's go, I think I know where to go." She Stand up and pat the clothes.

"Where should I go, return the same way?" Huyan Zhuoma asked, in his opinion, this underground is a terrible labyrinth, he was born and grew up in the grassland, and he has nothing to do with this kind of underground labyrinth world.

Shen Sui didn't answer this question immediately, she just turned around, looked at the Broken Dragon Stone behind her, smiled suddenly, and said:

"The people who designed this underground fortress must be the ancestors of our Han people. You see, as the saying goes, 'survival from adversity', the ancestors will not cut off life, it depends on whether you can use your brain."

Everyone turned their gazes to the Broken Dragon Stone and looked at it for a while, but no one could see why.

"Look at these grooves, what do they look like?" Shen Sui asked again.

"Gossip? Gen Gua! It's Gen Gua!" Cong Yun suddenly shouted.Although the groove on the broken dragon stone has been worn and damaged by the years, it can still be vaguely seen as a mark with a long horizontal line on the top and two broken horizontal lines on the bottom.

"This entire underground fortress was originally built according to the gossip, so there are eight exits in total. Now we are at the exit where Gen hexagram is located in the northeast. We only found seven exits outside. Now that we think about it, it happens to be this northeast Fang's exit has not been found. Although I don't know whether later generations have dug any other passages on the basis of Bagua, but I think it should not be too different from the most primitive Bagua terrain. In this way, I can roughly grasp This is the trend of the underground labyrinth." She tightened her belt and said:

"Let's go, don't waste time." As she said, she returned quickly with a group of people.

About half an hour later, after going through a lot of complicated calculations and judgments, Shen Sui finally led everyone to the most core part of the entire underground fortress.At this time, her clothes were already wet three times with sweat.

It's really complicated. This is a positive gossip and a reversed gossip. It took me a lot of effort. It would be great if Senior Brother Xuan Weizi was here, but it's a pity that he was assigned to command outside.Shen Sui wiped his sweat, thinking silently in his heart.

They are passing through the last corridor, turning around the front corner, and they can see the core area of ​​the Eight Diagrams.Shen Sui stopped in his tracks and motioned for everyone to stop.She approached the corner and slowly poked her head out to look around.

I saw a large space not far away, and there were many figures in it, but there was no fire light, so they couldn't see clearly. Those people were sitting or standing against the wall or directly lying on the ground.Shen Sui was a little surprised, and then her nose, which was paralyzed by the musty smell of the underground, smelled a strong smell of blood rushing towards her face.

"Not good!" Shen Sui hurried forward, took out the night pearl from his bosom, and took advantage of the opportunity to illuminate the empty area.Corpses littered the fields all around, all soldiers in armor and armor, with severed arms and legs, and some seemed to have their throats ripped open by wild beasts, their deaths were extremely tragic.

"It's from the Xue family army, we are one step late." Shen Sui frowned.

"Master, there are bloodstains spreading here!" Huyanzhuo said like a hound, standing at the entrance of the southwest passage.

"Chasing!" Shen Sui quickly led the crowd to chase after him.

……

Yang Yuhuan was walking alone in the desolate and silent mountains. It was already late at night, and she only had a simple burden on her body, including a few pieces of clothes and some scattered copper plates.There is a jug of water at the waist, and some cakes in the bag. There are no means of transportation, only her delicate feet.She just left the Gongyue army camp where she had lived for several months, and left Li Jinyue. She was afraid that she would not be able to hold back tears when she saw her in the future.

After all, she became a superfluous person.Since she is a superfluous person, why bother to disturb other people's eyes, she has always been good at thinking of others, and she knows that it is time for her to leave.

She knew that Li Jinyue kept herself by her side to be useful in the future, to dedicate herself to a stranger.Even if she promised that she would not abandon herself, she would still do it when that day came.No reason, just because she is the princess of Jin.All the royal families and nobles she knew were like this.Fickleness is an essential quality for them, if not, they will suffer a lifetime of pain and not end well.

She is only 11 years old this year, but she understands this truth.

I'm sorry princess, but I don't want to be sent out by you again, but I don't want to.I didn't play the role I should have. Instead, I left without saying goodbye in such a willful way. I failed your kindness of taking care of me. You must be angry and blame me, or you will soon forget me and get along with me. Live happily ever after with your new husband.

She had met Li Jiulang who was married to Li Jinyue. He was an extremely handsome man. There was no woman who would not fall for him. Even if she saw him, her heart would sway.The princess mentioned this person when chatting with her the night before yesterday.She asked herself if she likes a handsome man, but she has someone in mind.She was ashamed to answer, but when the princess mentioned Li Jiulang's sparkling eyes, she was so impressed, it was like a stick in her throat.You must love him, and you will deepen this affection after marriage, just like my father and mother.

But I...I can't stay with you anymore, I'm sad...Princess, I'm really sad...I didn't know what it was like to love someone before, but now I do, but I wish I never understood .You asked me to call you "Sister Jinyue", but I can never say this title.I don't want you to be my sister.Princess, I am such a humble girl who has high hopes for you, if you know what I am thinking, you will definitely think that I am miserable.

A precocious girl, walking alone in the dark mountain road, her heart full of sadness makes her ignore the fear brought by the darkness, she seems to be fearless, and she is not afraid of the unknown future.Where should she go, she didn't think about it, she just knew to go, go far away, and don't let anyone find her again.

She has been walking, since she decided to leave at noon, and now, several hours have passed, she does not know where she has gone, but she is short in stature, her steps are not big, she walks very slowly, and she has been walking for so long , did not go far.

Turning around the mountain road, she saw a cliff on her right, and a dark valley in the distance. Through the valley, she could see the plain area farther away, where Fan Yang's army was stationed.

The little girl was stunned for a moment, because she suddenly noticed that the fires in the camp were no longer dotted with dots, but stretched in stretches, illuminating the night as bright as day.

What happened?Yang Yuhuan pulled away from the sadness of self-pity and self-pity, and looked directly at the reality again.The army is raging, is it a war?

"Princess...princess!" Yang Yuhuan exclaimed, will her princess be in danger?

The girl hesitated for a moment, then tightened the burden on her body, and immediately ran back.Even if she knew that she couldn't help at all, if the princess was in danger, she couldn't save the princess.But, she just can't let go!She went down the mountain path, but she disliked that this mountain path was too lingering and wasted time, so she plunged into the dense forest and rushed quickly.The undulating soil bumps on the ground and the bushes and thorns all over the place made her stumbling, and the branches beside her rubbed against her cheeks, and soon several bloodstains appeared on her cheeks.The thick and dark night surrounded her densely, and the eagle owl's chirping in the distance was terrifying and terrifying. She couldn't see anything clearly, but ran quickly, and the fear she hadn't felt before finally managed to grab her heart firmly. As she ran, she felt her throat was sweet and her heart was beating so fast that it was about to jump out of her mouth.But she couldn't stop running, there was something driving her legs forward alternately, even though she was not very good at running.

She didn't know how far she had run, but she stumbled suddenly and fell to the ground uncontrollably, and immediately found herself falling on the slope and rolling down.

Her scream was choked in her throat, and before she could fully utter it, she was choked back.The world was spinning, and she lost the ability to judge everything.When she uncontrollably rolled down to the bottom of the slope, she couldn't help herself for a while, lying on the wet and soft soil with thick piles of fallen leaves, unable to move for a while.Her brain was numb and dazed for a long time, and it took her a while before she regained awareness of her body.Immediately, she felt numbness and pain all over her body, and her nose was filled with the smell of mud and a faint smell of blood. She was sobbing, as if she was crying or humming in pain, and her breathing couldn't be steady for a while.

At this moment, she suddenly heard the whistling of Night Breeze, and after a while she realized that it was not Night Breeze, but the sound of someone running.Then there was a heavy panting sound, the footsteps of the visitors were scattered, and there were not a few of them.They are all on top of Yang Yuhuan's head, at the top of the slope.If Yang Yuhuan hadn't accidentally rolled down the hill just now, he might have encountered this group of people right now.

Who is running in the dense forest at this time?Questions arose in Yang Yuhuan's mind.

She struggled to get up, patted the dirt off her body, pressed her lips together tightly, and raised the back of her hand to wipe away the tears on her face.Then try to climb up the slope, and try not to make any noise.

While Yang Yuhuan was climbing, he heard panicked begging from above, and the group who arrived here first had stopped, praying to those who were chasing after him:

"Please, let us go, I'll drink your blood..." It was a man's voice, speaking crappy Mandarin with a strange accent.

"Right now, I don't want to drink your blood. I just want you to die. You Goguryeo people are hidden dangers. You should have died early, but now it's useless. Of course, I want to accompany you people in the underworld." A cold voice The woman said, "Kill them all and bury them on the spot."

"Yes!" Several male voices responded.

Immediately, Yang Yuhuan heard the sound of drawing a sword, followed by screams, and the sound of the sword cutting flesh, Yang Yuhuan's heart beat faster and faster, her hands and feet became more and more stiff, and she lay on the ground On the edge of the slope, I dare not move.

"Blood Pope, the situation is over now, where should we go?" A thick male voice asked.

"The general trend is over?" The woman seemed very disapproving, "Although we lost Fan Yang, we also eliminated the Xue family who had controlled Fan Yang for many years. From now on, the three towns of Heshuo will be in chaos. The contention will intensify various potential conflicts, which also achieves our goal, so how can we talk about the end of the world?"

"That Dongying female warrior, Yuan Qianhe, can really take the lives of the Xue brothers?" Another male voice with a slightly clearer voice asked.

"Don't worry, none of the assassins I've trained/trained can't fulfill my orders. Unless she is completely eliminated, she will never give up until she achieves her goal," the woman said.

"The Blood Pope, where are we... going next?" The rough male voice suddenly seemed a little obsequious.

"Where are you going..." The woman seemed to be thinking, but didn't answer for a while.

Yang Yuhuan seemed to hear the sound of kneeling on the ground: "Blood Pope, I am on the mountain, and my brother Ashina will definitely go through fire and water for the holy religion. Please, Blood Pope, please take us with you."

"Yes, yes, I beg the Pope of Blood to accept our two brothers." A male voice with a slightly clearer voice echoed.

"Hehehe..." The woman laughed, "You two are considered clever. Although the use value in Fan Yang is gone, maybe it will be useful in the future. I also lack a deputy, so you just follow me."

At this moment, another familiar voice suddenly sounded:

"Don't even think about going anywhere." The visitor said with a smile.

Yang Yuhuan was surprised at first, then overjoyed: It's Mr. Shen!

The author has something to say: This chapter originally had a large section of repetitive content, but it was my operation error.Because the number of words in the VIP chapter cannot be less than the original number of words, it cannot be changed at that time.So the next chapter covers the repeated parts.

This underground fortress was not dug by a cult, and the thousands of Goguryeo remnants were not moved underground by the cult at first, but by the Xue brothers.It's just that the cult later discovered this underground fortress, occupied the magpie's nest, and secretly controlled these people.It was only recently that the Xue brothers discovered something was wrong, so they started to deal with the cult.Tell me in advance, so that no friends will feel confused.

In addition, in the previous chapter, I made a mistake in the ranking of the Xue brothers. Xue Chuzhen was the fourth child, and Xue Chuyu was the fifth child.
