Save my wife all over the world

Chapter 10 The Emperor and the Empress (9)

==========================

"Sir, why don't you stay here first?"

Ask the yamen servant where the witch temple is located, walk out of the yamen, Gu Zhong suggested.

"Your Highness, do you want to go to the witch temple to find out?"

"The people in this city seem to be possessed by something, and they believe in this witch god so madly. It makes Gu want to see the difference of this witch religion even more.

What's more, even the two small yamen servants have noticed the horror of the witch religion, but the officials in the entire Beiling County are silent?What's the point?It's really strange. "

"Remember, Your Highness, I have the help of the Witch Cult in the founding of the country. It is Your Majesty who is going to preach the Witch Cult. Who can object?

In addition, the interests are touching, and it is expected that the noble families in the county will be involved with it. It is not surprising that the entire Beiling has become the foundation of witchcraft beliefs.

Coincidentally, I also want to see you, Your Highness will not satisfy my curiosity, right? "

Ling Yan rejected Gu Zhong's request.

"...I'm afraid of danger, sir, don't go."

Gu Zhong was so tough, maybe he really sensed the danger, and he didn't want Ling Yan to take risks.

"Chen An dares to order the lord to be in front, Your Highness...Has His Majesty told you that even Lieutenant Wang can't defeat the minister? This minister still has the strength to protect himself."

Ling Yan glanced lightly at Gu Zhong, speaking quite proudly.

Lieutenant Wang is the head of the Kyoto garrison, his martial arts are superb, although he cannot be said to be unparalleled in the world, he is still a brave man.

If Ling Yan can defeat him, then everyone present is truly invincible.

Gu Zhong looked at his husband in a daze, but didn't realize for a while, isn't the husband just a frail scholar?

A few people followed the direction pointed by the yamen servant to a hill on the outskirts of the city.The snow in the mountains has not yet melted, and the road into the mountains stepped on by humans is still clear. You only need to follow the road with the deepest traces, and you can undoubtedly reach the place where people live.

Near the temple, standing on a slightly higher steep rock, at a glance, it is full of dense crowds, they are prostrating devoutly in front of the temple, and the people in the front are all dressed in Chinese clothes.

A man in a black witch costume and a white bone mask was at the front, sometimes chanting and sometimes dancing. In Gu Zhong's view, it was all pretending to be a ghost.

Another middle-aged man in official uniform stood quietly aside, but his expression could not be seen clearly from too far away.

When a huge wooden box was carried into the temple, it should be the so-called "tribute gift", but they came much later, and they didn't know what was inside.

These poor people who have just been hit by a snowstorm and are starved of food and clothing are now willing to offer sacrifices to the so-called witch gods.

It made Gu Zhong faintly feel the extreme discomfort that all the court's money and food had entered into this witch religion, and his face that was already frozen by the wind and snow became more and more livid.

After the tribute below was presented, the ceremony seemed to be over.After the three worships, the people got up and retreated one after another. During the period, they were orderly and extremely quiet, as if they were puppets being manipulated one by one, making people's scalp numb.

"Let's go!" Gu Zhong hurriedly called everyone to come down from the height, hiding behind the boulder, it seemed like they were thieves.

The second after they jumped off the high ground, the man in the witch costume looked over with blazing eyes. His eyes wandered around for a moment, but he turned his head again when he found no trace of anyone.

"Go back to Beiling." Gu Zhong pursed his lips, with suppressed anger in his eyes.

"Your Highness?" Someone didn't understand why, and seemed to be wondering why they didn't stay and continue to investigate.

Ling Yan guessed that based on what he saw so far, the common people would not be able to ask any questions, but would startle them.

The local rich family and the witch religion are in cahoots, and the county magistrate mentioned by the two yamen servants is forced to be untrue.

It is the best policy to return to Beiling and discuss the long-term plan.

Fortunately, since I came to the northern border, I have the habit of carrying dry food with me when I travel, so I won't be hungry after driving for half a day.

When they found an open place, they ate half of the pancakes in the melted snow, and started on the road non-stop. After a long delay in Qingshui County, it would be dark any later.

The sun gradually fell to the west, and the surrounding snow-capped mountains lost their brilliance and became dim.

Everything around was extremely silent, except for the dull rustling of horseshoes falling on the snow. At this time, they were less than twenty miles away from the county town.

A sharp arrow came through the air with a "swoosh", directly covering Gu Zhong's heart, breaking the peace along the way.

Ling Yan was only half a horse's head behind Gu Zhong, and when she sensitively sensed the ambush, she pulled out the folding fan pinned to her waist, and stretched out her hand to block Gu Zhong's back. The fan, snapped the sharp arrow from it.

"There is an ambush!"

"Protect Your Highness!"

The guards who just realized it all reined in their horses and drew their swords to be on guard.A rain of arrows came from a high place not far away, making a killing gesture.

Ling Yan didn't have time to think about whether it was the murder caused by the investigation of the witch religion, or the ambush set up by the former court officials to assassinate the empress, so she concentrated on knocking down the sharp arrows one by one.

It seemed that the arrow array used by the assassin to ambush could only be activated once. After a shower of arrows, a dozen or so men in black jumped out of their hiding places and moved towards them extremely fast.

These people have similar martial arts techniques, and they are extremely cunning and ruthless. They use gold-wire ring knives made of fine steel, which are completely different from ordinary rivers, lakes and green forests. The Gyeonggi guards he brought were evenly matched.

At this time, His Royal Highness really realized how strong his husband's so-called self-protection power is. Ling Yan let go of the folding fan and flew out, just like folding grass to easily cripple an assassin's knife hand.

If it wasn't for the consideration that protecting Gu Zhong was the most important thing, and he needed to stand with Gu Zhong at every step, I am afraid that it would only take a cup of tea for these assassins to get close to him and fall down.

With Ling Yan's help from time to time, even though there were many assassins, their arms were cut off one after another, and those who saw the situation was not good and wanted to escape, their legs and feet were cut off mercilessly.

A pitched battle ensued, with few injuries on their side.

"Take it back and interrogate it strictly." Gu Zhong ordered.

"Yes!"

Two guards stepped forward to tie up the assassins who had lost their arms and legs so that they could be escorted back to the city.

Unexpectedly, the moment they approached, the two assassins smiled cunningly, revealing the blade between their teeth, and killed them with a single blow.

Gu Zhong watched helplessly that the people who were still alive today turned into lifeless corpses in an instant.

The eyes of the remaining two guards were tearing apart, and their comrades had died in front of them for many years, which made them want to cut the assassin into pieces.

But before they could do anything, the two assassins foamed at the mouth and twitched as if they had completed their last mission, and then remained silent.

"not good!"

Ling Yan's expression changed, and he used his starting method to quickly come to an assassin who was lying on the ground, and stretched out his hand to forcefully remove his jaw, but the other assassins swallowed the poison hidden in their mouths one step faster, and the poison exploded in an instant. died.

"Dead man..." Gu Zhong sneered.

"Gu is really well-respected, someone sent a dead man to assassinate Gu."

Ling Yan dragged the last assassin who couldn't speak but glared at them and tied him to the horse.

"Your Highness, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. I will send someone back to the city later to clean up the mess."

The two guards also knew that the safety of the princess was more important, so they had to let their companions expose the dead body in the wilderness with tears in their eyes.

When the group of people got on their horses and were about to leave, Ling Yan's hearing was different from that of ordinary people, but he heard some strange "rumbling" sound.

She raised her eyes to look at the surrounding landforms, and was horrified to find that there was only one long and narrow passage, surrounded by high mountains, and they were in an extremely low low-lying place.

"Go!" She lashed Gu Zhong's black horse on the hip with a whip, and the painful horse neighed and galloped at an extraordinary speed.

Ling Yan followed Gu Zhong closely, feeling extremely nervous, only felt that the short and narrow valley road had become so long at this time, wishing to recover her divine power and send Gu Zhong directly back to Xijing.

The guards didn't know why, and they also ran wildly.

Halfway through the journey, everyone could hear the rumbling sound, and only then did the others realize what kind of danger was approaching.

"This is, an avalanche?"

"How could there be an avalanche here?!"

The surrounding trees and mountain walls trembled, layers of white mist rose from the high mountains and forests on both sides, and the originally tall and straight dead trees were silently overwhelmed and buried.

They don't want to think about anything else, they just want to go faster, and faster.

But the avalanche came so quickly and covered an unknown number of miles, how could it be possible to escape in just a few breaths?

A few seconds after they stepped out of the narrow passage, snow and mist rolled down around them, Ling Yan pounced on Gu Zhong, thinking that it would be good even if he could cover the thick snow for her, but it was too late.

A piece of white covered the sky, covering the almost dark sky, the last afterglow of the setting sun and Gu Zhong's figure looking back ahead.

Even though Ling Yan lost his divine power, he still had an unusual physique, and did not lose consciousness due to being buried in the snow.

After being buried in the snow, before the tremor of the avalanche disappeared, she burrowed upwards into the snow with all her strength.

I don't know how thick the snow layer is piled up above, and there is no space under the snow layer. It is almost impossible to get out of the snowdrift from the bottom up.

She punched the snow layer until her hand was bloody and bloody, forcibly smashing a passage.

After climbing out of the snow pit, the sky was completely dark, and he couldn't tell the direction, let alone where Gu Zhong was buried.

"Gu Zhong..." Ling Yan yelled softly, her voice trembling slightly, she didn't dare to make too much noise for fear of causing aftershocks after the avalanche.

Kneeling on the snow, as if she wanted to hear the echo from the ground, she went crazy, using her bloody, slender hands that were supposed to write the text, and kept pawing the snow.

I don't know how long it took, maybe an hour, maybe even longer, Ling Yan's hands had completely lost consciousness, and she just kept repeating the digging action, and a deep snow pit was dug out around her, and she was barely able to drag her out. A piece of clothing.

"Gu Zhong, is that you? Gu Zhong..."

Even though she knew in her heart that ordinary people would lose consciousness if buried in snow, and no one would answer her, Ling Yan couldn't help but murmured, as if this was the only way she could hold on and not fall.
