Startled Meng

Yan Cijing woke up faintly, at first he felt as if he was in an ice cave, he was so cold that he curled up, and then he felt that his headache was about to explode at any time.

"hiss!"

"do not move--"

When the lazy voice came, Yan Cijing's consciousness instantly recovered. After frowning, he slowly opened his eyes.

Still in the cave, the surroundings were lit by a torch, Yu Fangzhi was sitting with his legs resting opposite him, his body was covered in the blood of the big rat, his right hand was resting on the ground, trembling slightly, it took too long to chop and kill It has exhausted him.

Yan Cijing fumbled to sit up, the blood on his forehead had already stopped, after a simple treatment, he wrapped a piece of cloth around it, and he stretched out his hand to feel it.

Seeing his movements, Yu Fangzhi said angrily, "The Yunjin brocade that was tributed to Jiangling, if it is damaged, Mr. Yan will not be able to compensate for the little salary!"

It was only then that Yan Cijing saw that Yu Fangzhi's robe was missing a corner, which must have been torn apart by the young master to bind his wound.But no matter how particular this young master is, he is in a mess at this moment. What kind of brocade, even the best weaving and embroidery, will be turned into mud.

Yan Cijing sighed, leaning against the mud wall behind him, slowly feeling dizzy: "Thank you."

"Don't!" Yu Fang knew, "You are not small, and you just dealt with it simply. If you can't go out for a short time, you will still die."

The words were not pleasant at all, like black and white impermanence waiting to be killed while throwing chains, Yan Cijing said indifferently: "However you die, it's better than being bitten to death by a big mouse."

"This is true!" Yu Fangzhi felt chills when he thought of it, "If you hadn't found the mechanism and moved the mud wall behind you, I'm afraid there would be two more unknown corpses in this ghost cave."

again?Yan Cijing couldn't think too much now, and was resting with his eyes closed, when suddenly a small object was thrown from his arms, and when he looked down, it was half a piece of shortbread.

"Let's make do with it, I usually don't even look at things that are cold." After finishing speaking, Yu Fangzhi chewed the remaining half of the shortbread with disgust.I still don't know when Xiaoqing stuffed the shortbread in, but it will come in handy.

Yan Cijing nodded, and began to eat in small bites. It was very dry, there was no water, and he almost choked, but now it is good to have something to cushion his stomach.

After eating something, the dizziness was much less, and Yan Cijing finally had the strength to look at the surrounding environment.

It's still a mud hole, still the same damp and smelly, but they are now in a place with higher terrain and drier soil.

The light was insufficient, Yan Cijing could only vaguely see some water accumulated in the low-lying places, looked oily, and smelled the stench accumulated over the years.

And the place with the brightest light is Yu Fangzhi near the torch. He is resting with his eyes closed. After the noble aura of dressing up was gone, Yu Fangzhi showed a more eye-catching fortitude and handsomeness than before.

"Have you seen enough?" Yu Fangzhi didn't open his eyes.

"Enough of seeing." Yan Cijing lowered his eyes, "Enough of smelling too, you smell bad." It probably got on when killing rats.

Yu Fangzhi moved, picked up the torch and walked to Yan Cijing, stretched his arms, and tried to illuminate the area behind Yan Cijing's left rear as much as possible: "The smell is not from me, you look back yourself."

Yan Cijing looked back as he said, and if he didn't look, he wouldn't know.

Yu knew that in the place illuminated by the torches, there were hundreds of corpses piled up. They looked old, and their bones were exposed. From time to time, mice crawled out of the empty eye sockets and shriveled black cloth.

The oily liquid that Yan Cijing saw just now was the corpse fluid and blood seeping from the pile of corpses. It had already accumulated in a puddle, and there were still many wriggling worms floating on the surface.

"No wonder..." Yan Cijing frowned, "No wonder those mice are so big."

"Ouch—" Yu Fangzhi couldn't take it anymore!

Yan Cijing said: "I dug the hole so deep to hide these bones? Then who are these people?" Yan Cijing grabbed Yu Fangzhi's hand and poked forward, wanting to see more clearly.

Yu Fangzhi gritted his teeth and looked along, paused his hands, and narrowed his eyes: "The shining... is Lin Jia?"

I don't know how many years it has been buried. The clothes on the deceased's body have faded so that they can't see the color clearly. No matter how you look at it, they are all black, but there is still a rough shape of the hard object polished on the front chest. Seeing this, Yu Fang Zhi already had a faint guess in his heart.

Yan Cijing also guessed: "These people are all soldiers."

Yan Cijing's hand was already loose, and Yu Fangzhi threw it casually, and the torch was planted on the ground, and he sat down beside Yan Cijing: "That day in Furong Canal, you know, the person you ordered to kill was who?"

Yan Cijing shook his head.

Yu Fangzhi smiled: "His original name was Wu Tianchou, and he should have been buried here with these one hundred and nine soldiers, but he was clever and had a premonition that he would be silenced, so he escaped from Ye City in time, but he You're stupid, you have already escaped, but you want to take the risk and return to Ye City just for the little business money."

Yan Cijing asked, "Why were these 110 soldiers silenced?"

Yu Fangzhi stared at Yan Cijing with a half-smile: "If Wu Tianchou was not killed by you, you can ask him yourself."

"I didn't kill Wu Tianchou."

"You didn't do it yourself, but he still died. As for why he must die, you can ask your Lord Black Eagle."

Yan Cijing's eyes were dim, and he had already guessed that the person who killed halfway that night was Yu Fangzhi, but he didn't expect Yu Fangzhi to be here and tell him these things in such a way.

Yu Fangzhi saw Yan Cijing looking up at him, a trace of puzzlement and inquiry flashed in his eyes, he stood up, and said condescendingly: "So if Mr. Yan wants to make steady progress, we should find another way out."

This is all the language side knows, and this is also because Yan Cijing desperately opened the trap and found a way out of the desperate situation.

Yan Cijing was silent, and when he spoke again, the determination in his eyes was hard to shake: "Thank you for letting me know, but Yan... has no other choice."

"Even if your final fate is the same as these 110 soldiers, you will be silenced, dumped, and eaten by rats, will you not regret it?"

Yan Cijing shook his head.

Does Yu Fang know why he asked, everything is fate, and he can't help it at all. He is standing here now, and he has no way of turning back, let alone regretting it. Even if he is like this, how can he have any leisure time? On the other side?

There is only one way to go to the dark.

"Let's go." Yan Cijing had enough rest, got up and took away the torch on the ground, and took the lead to go to the hole on the other side that led to nowhere.

Halfway there, he didn't hear any movement, so he turned his head and waved the torch towards Yu Fangzhi: "Aren't you following?"

Yu Fang knew how to laugh, and even took a few steps to follow.

"What about that ghost thing in front?"

"Aren't you good at fighting?"

"Cooperate with me as your thug, and you can't do anything?"

"I'll yell at you."

"..."

The two walked for a long time, and gradually realized something was wrong.

Yu Fangzhi stared at the footprints in the place and said, "Why is the road the same as when we came here?"

Yan Cijing said: "Yes, it was uphill when we came here, and we are getting closer and closer to the ground, but now it is downhill, we are going back."

Yu Fangzhi looked at the front of Heigulongdong, worried: "Is it true that I will meet those ghosts again?"

"will not."

As soon as Yan Cijing's voice fell, he heard a sudden sound of digging the ground. He subconsciously squeezed the torch tightly, and Yu Fangzhi heard it too. The sound was more persistent than before, and it came from above their heads. Fang Zhi held the knife in his sleeve in his hand.

Yan Cijing sighed: "Let's explain the funeral."

Yu Fangzhi swung the knife, changed his posture, held the knife in his hand, stared at the discouraged Yan Ci mirror, and muttered: "My ancestral home is in Gan County, Huizhou. My grandfather was the county magistrate of Ganzhou. My parents died early. In Yuankang's 56th year, he was admitted as a Tongsheng. His parents died in the same year. He was appreciated by the county magistrate at that time because of his youth and intelligence. He then participated in the provincial examination and ranked first. The second triple and the No. [-] pick."

Yan Cijing was slightly surprised: "What do you mean?" It's such a critical moment, yet he still has the intention to test him?

Yu Fangzhi's eyes were burning: "Master Yan is so unfamiliar with his background?" He never let go of the bewilderment that flashed in Yan Cijing's eyes at the beginning.

Yan Cijing asked coldly, "What do you want to say?"

Yu Fangzhi asked: "Your registered household registration is fake, who are you?"

Yan Cijing snorted and laughed: "The son of the richest man went to Beijing to track down soldiers who had disappeared for many years, and quietly squatted on the roof to eavesdrop on the secrets of the court. Then who are you? You can only know it in words?"

Yu Fangzhi moved the blood-stained sharp blade slightly, and the cold light of the blade pressed against Yan Cijing's face, but it didn't make him stage fright and flinch.

Both of them have secrets, and neither of them will tell the whole thing at this moment, so they can only confront each other in silence, neither will let the other.

The sound of digging the ground roared, and the movement became louder and louder. No one moved, no one said a word, and they tried their best to fight for their breath.

Dirt began to fall from the top, and no one spoke, but Yu Fangzhi had already grasped the knife in his hand, and Yan Cijing had also grasped the torch in his hand.

"master!"

A scream broke the dead silence of the entire cave.

Yu Fangzhi squinted his eyes and carefully identified the mud head protruding from the top: "You are..."

The man's face was covered with yellow mud, only his white teeth were clean. He wiped his face indiscriminately, barely revealing his human face: "Master! I'm a Shuoshu!"

Yan Cijing heard goosebumps on his back reflexively, and Yu Fangzhi almost swung a knife: "I remember you! Shushu, you know how to escape from the ground, didn't Ruku let you come? How many people are there outside?" People? Hurry up and pull me up!"

"I've been looking for you all night! I finally found it! Master, give me your hand and hold on tight to the rein. Brother Ruku is pulling the rope!" Shuo Shu called Yu Fangzhi to come up, but Yu Fangzhi gave way , ask the person next to him to go first.

Yan Cijing looked at the life-saving rope and suddenly became a little dazed.

Regarding this, Yu Fangzhi straightened his face and said seriously: "I'm mainly afraid that you will bully me from behind."

Hearing what the master said, Shuoshu wrinkled his nose and bared his teeth at Yan Cijing, looking really like a "Shuoshu" who cannibalize people without spit out bones, Yan Cijing didn't hesitate anymore, and grabbed the torch as soon as he threw it Rope, nonsense, it’s already in the light of day, what more torches are needed!

His hand slipped, he didn't hold the rein all of a sudden, his body slid down, and his buttocks were supported by a big hand.

Yan Cijing: "..."

Yu Fangzhi gave him a push: "Put your feet against the wall and go up quickly! Is it comfortable to be touched on your butt?" Disgusted, "There is no meat."

Yan Cijing pulled hard with his hand and went up a long way, thinking why the rat didn't kill him just now!

Ru Ku was almost dragged in from above, thinking that the master had grown a lot every day as a dandy and had a good meal in the teahouse, so he yelled, "Those guys over there! Come and pull them together!"

When there are more people, the speed of the rope coming out is much faster, and a large length of the rope jumps out at once.

The Shuoshu came out first, fell to the ground covered in mud and panted, and then came out with a big head. He was overjoyed and pulled harder until he saw the man's face clearly, and was shocked: "Dog officer?!"

When the brothers in the back heard it, they weren't the master?Quit doing it, let go of your hand, the rope slid back a bit, and heard a familiar roar.

Shuo Shu was also startled: "Master, take the back seat! Pull it quickly!"

"Oh oh oh!"

Yu Fangzhi finally came up, with a disheveled face and blood all over his body, pointing at Ruku and his subordinates and swearing at them, and then lay down on the spot after scolding, let out a long breath.

After Yan Cijing was pulled up, he had been sitting by the side to rest. At this time, he stood up unsteadily, and the younger brothers beside him swished a few times, and the sword was half out of its sheath, and was held down by Ruku.

Yan Cijing looked down at the equally embarrassed Yu Fangzhi: "See you again..."

Yu Fangzhi raised his eyes: "It is the mortal enemy."

The way is different, and it is difficult to return to the same place. This time of watching and helping each other is fate, but it is also the end of fate.

Yan Cijing left first, and Yu Fangzhi then slowly ordered his subordinates to carry him back to the city, because he really couldn't walk anymore.

He hadn't entered the city yet, but with sharp eyes, he saw a figure jumping anxiously outside the city gate, and said in a low voice: "Master, your little servant is here, and this subordinate will go ahead first." Fang Zhi put it down on the spot.

Yu Fangzhi lay on the ground and cursed: "Hey! Is this how you treat me?!"

"return!"

Roaring came the teary-eyed boy, Yu Fangzhi asked Xiaoqing to help him up.

"Ouch—" Xiao Qing smelled him, and squatted down to vomit.

"Get off! Get off!" Yu Fangzhi got up and walked towards the city gate.

Xiaoqing pinched her nose and followed.

"Master! You stink! Why is there so much blood? You haven't seen anyone all night, did you go to kill a pig?"

"Young master! Why is the corner of your robe gone?"

"Young master! I just saw Mr. Yan! He is as dirty as you! Did you guys go to the mud to catch pigs and kill them?"
