general follow me

Liu Ran saw a faint light at an exit ahead.He put out the fire and approached cautiously. The moment he reached the entrance of the cave, his eyes were full of astonishment.

"What's the matter, my lord?" Xiao Ding made a gesture to go in, but Liu Ran blocked the entrance of the cave with his body, and said dully, "You are all guarding outside, I will go in first."

"Ah?! This won't work! Young Master, you are too dangerous!" Xiao Ding said anxiously, "Go in so rashly before you know what's going on inside. What if someone takes advantage of your unpreparedness?"

? ”

"Just watch outside!" Liu Ran frowned impatiently.

It was the first time in Xiao Ding's life that he saw Liu Ran's expression at this time, he was a little surprised, and seemed even more curious about the cave.Xiao Ding glanced at Liu Ran from the corner of his eye, but saw a thin female hand exposed inside, and suddenly understood, he lowered his head and responded meekly, "Yes."

After Liu Ran entered, Xiao Ding took Liu Ran's place with himself, guarding the entrance of the cave and said, "Everyone, rest in place!"

Liu Ran walked in slowly, approaching the stone bed in the cave step by step.It was Hong Lian lying on the bed.

The red shirt on Hong Lian's body has become tattered, and she can barely possess her body.Hong Lian's limbs were bound by iron chains and lined up in a "big" character. His eyes and mouth were covered with coarse cloth. Only his weak breathing could prove that Hong Lian was still alive.

Liu Ran sighed, "Xiao Ding, come in!"

"...Master..." Xiao Ding was in trouble, "She's a girl, she's not related to me..."

"Come here and untie me, I don't have that much strength." Liu Ran was angry and funny, and the person who wanted to come in just now didn't come in now.

"...Okay!" Xiao Ding walked in slowly, and when he saw Hong Lian, he was inadvertently startled, "God, this is a girl, why did you torture her like this?!" Ding said while prying open the iron chain.

Liu Ran took off her outer robe and covered Hong Lian's body, and looked around again.The inside of the cave is not big, almost empty, but there are traces of people living for a long time, and it is a new trace not long ago.

Presumably those people felt that they had been discovered and transferred immediately.However, why was Hong Lian left alone after being discovered?

Xiao Ding had already untied Hong Lian's chains, at this moment, Hong Lian, who was unconscious, suddenly woke up, her eyes were scarlet, her brows were tightly frowned,

It looks like a Rakshasa.

Hong Lian seemed to move her head slightly, and hit Xiao Ding violently.Although there is no method and disorder, every move seems to kill people.

Xiao Ding was forced to take the move. Originally, Hong Lian was not Xiao Ding's opponent, but for some reason, after several moves, Xiao Ding gradually fell into a disadvantage. "The people who came in from outside!!! Mr...Young master! Think of a way! Something is wrong"

Liu Ran frowned, indeed, something was wrong with Hong Lian. "Can you knock her out? Let me take a look at her pulse." Liu Ran asked with a frown.

"Let me try!...you catch her!" Xiao Ding ordered.

"Yes!" The people who came in all surrounded Hong Lian, looked at the people around her with scarlet eyes, calmed down, and seemed to be thinking of some countermeasures.

Suddenly Hong Lian was about to strike, Xiao Ding gathered his internal strength, and at the critical moment, he flew up and slapped Hong Lian on the head, "Ah!" Hong Lian made a beast-like sound, and Xiao Ding cut another palm on Hong Lian's neck .Afterwards, Hong Lian seemed to regain consciousness. At the last moment, looking at Liu Ran's direction, she said two words with slightly moving lips——

"Young Master."

After finishing speaking, he fainted.

Liu Ran picked up the robe that was thrown aside, wrapped it around Hong Lian, and grabbed Hong Lian's wrist to feel her pulse.The more he looked at the frown, the more he took out a pill and swallowed it for Hong Lian, and then said, "Let's go. These people have already been alarmed and have been transferred. If we continue to investigate, we can't find anything. Hong Lian's illness will be discussed when we go back." .”

"Yes...Young master, Miss Honglian...won't you suddenly wake up again?" Xiao Ding asked tentatively.

"No." Liu Ran stood up and said, "I'll trouble you, Xiao Ding, to recite Honglian."

"No trouble, no trouble! It's fine if you don't wake up anyway. I really can't bear to wake up again!" Xiao Ding breathed a sigh of relief, immediately picked up Hong Lian on his back, and walked forward without saying a word.

Before leaving, Liu Ran caught a glimpse of a small cabinet in a corner of the cave. Inside the cabinet were some herbs and some bug corpses. After hesitating for a while, Liu Ran wrapped a bug in a cloth before leaving. with.

In the inn on Qingcang Mountain, the anxious Chen Jin couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief when he saw everyone coming back, and then said, "My lord, you are finally back! You didn't let me go, so I just stay here in a hurry and did nothing No! How is it? Miss Honglian found it?"

The reason why Liu Ran didn't let him go at the beginning was because Chen Jin was not like Xiao Ding and the others who could say anything at will, and secondly, he still had some doubts about Chen Jin.Thinking about it now, Chen Jin was under the secret attention of himself and Xiao Ding all the way, those people just left a few days ago, it was not because of others' report, but because they had to leave after receiving orders.

Sighing, Liu Ran said to Chen Jin, "I found it. Thank you, Vice General Chen, for your concern."

"My lord, what are you thanking me for? Miss Honglian disappeared when she was walking with me. I should have done this. Just find it, as long as you find it." Chen Jin felt relieved.

"Vice General Chen, let's go to rest first. I'll go back first too." Liu Ran said goodbye.

""Okay, my lord, please go slowly! "Chen Jin saluted.

Liu Ran returned a salute and went straight back to her room.

On the bed in the room, lay Hong Lian with a pale complexion, who was bound by Xiao Ding with chains.

Liu Ran sighed, sat at the table, took out the corpse/body of the bug in her arms, wondering what she was thinking.

After some fugue, Liu Ran suddenly realized that this was the bug that poisoned the emperor and the border army!

So King Soo did everything? !

It's plausible that the shadow guard next to the emperor is a poisoner, but how would the ordinary little second know the border army's itinerary?Unless, in the border army, there are people from King Xiu? !

Liu Ran was a little scared, what would happen then?

Hong Lian began to wake up, Liu Ran came back to his senses, and took another pill for Hong Lian, after a little thought, he picked up a pen and paper and wrote something intently.

"Xiao Ding!" Liu Ran shouted towards the window.

"Here we come!" Xiao Ding, who heard the shout, immediately turned into the house, "What's the matter, my lord?"

"Take this list and go to Medicine Ghost Valley, all the herbs in it must be caught! As soon as possible! Remember?" Liu Ran asked.

Xiao Ding took the list, glanced at it briefly, nodded, "Okay, I'll go right away!" After speaking, he turned and left.

"and many more……"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Grab more of the herbs on it... Just tell them it's not for one person, and they'll know!"

"it is good."

Seeing Xiao Ding leaving, Liu Ran touched the bottle of pills in her arms.

I hope Xiaoding can come back in time.

Shi Yu gritted his teeth slightly, opened his eyes, and looked around hard.This is a small stone room with some ancient patterns on the wall. There is still a little bit of yellow sand piled up in the corner of the stone room. There are some bones under the yellow sand. It must be that the unfortunate victims fell here and could not get out. .Li Shui was planted on the yellow sand, and Zhang Wei was following him beside him.

Shi Yu moved his body slightly, but felt a sharp pain from his arm.

broken bones.

Shi Yu sighed, propped up his body with one hand, walked slowly to the side of the two, and gently pushed "Li Shui, Zhang Wei! Li Shui! Li Shui! Zhang Wei!"

The two slowly regained consciousness, and both slowly opened their eyes. After Zhang Wei woke up, he looked around and wondered, "General, is this...?"

"Not surprisingly, this is the underground palace... Didn't I tell you not to follow?" Shi Yu sighed.

Zhang Wei lowered his head in embarrassment.Li Shui, who was standing next to him, persuaded, "Forget it, General, Brother Zhang Wei is also worried about you... General, where should we go next?"

Shi Yu got up, "Look elsewhere first, there are no clues here... Can you move?"

The two supported each other to get up and said, "Yes, you don't have to worry, General."

"Okay." Shi Yu picked up the kendo left on the ground, "Let's go."

"Ah."

The three groped for a while, and easily found a door that could be opened or closed.The door seemed to have signs of being opened and closed frequently, and it opened with a light push. Outside was a dark corridor.Shi Yu randomly took a night pearl from the wall and walked in front.

"General, your hand..." Zhang Wei, who had been observing from behind, suddenly said.

"It's okay." Shi Yu didn't continue, the gloomy atmosphere made both of them shut up.

Turn left and walk into a narrower path, and there is a stone gate not far away.Shi Yu was groping secretly under the faint light and shadow, enduring the dull pain from his left hand, and suddenly touched a protruding stone wall, Shi Yu paused, and pressed down decisively.

The stone door opened slowly, and the light inside was brighter than the stone room they stayed in at the beginning.The stone wall on the top is inlaid with thousands of night pearls, arranged according to the astrology, forming a star map.There is a higher round platform in the center, and there are three stone pillars on the round platform, and some strange totems are carved on the stone pillars.There are two pools on both sides of the round platform. The water in the pools reflects the faint blue light of the stone wall on the top, and there are ripples from time to time.

"This should be the sacrificial platform of Yuesang in the early days." Li Shui said.

"Sacrifice altar?"

"Well, general, look, that's the middle altar for sacrifices. During sacrifices, wizards will stand on it and sing ancient songs. Stone pillars are used to tie sacrifices, and ordinary people are usually captured randomly to make up for them. It is said that the pool is used to cleanse the soul, and some say it is in the desert, the pool represents the divine power, and the divine power is watching the priests." Li Shui pointed to Shi Yu one by one.

"Why do you know everything?!" Zhang Wei asked suspiciously, "You can't be a spy sent by King Ba Zhe?"

"You! What are you talking about! I... I just listened to the local old man when Yuesang was staying." Li Shui's face turned red because of excitement.

"I didn't say anything! Why are you blushing like a big man?" Zhang Wei was surprised.

"Okay," Shi Yu said, walked to the place directly opposite the sacrificial altar, and observed something carefully.

"What's the matter, General?" Seeing that Shiyu's expression was different, Zhang Wei couldn't help walking forward and asking curiously.

After walking in, he realized that Shi Yu was facing a jade gate.This door is about as wide as a bed, and there are some patterns carved on it.

"Li Shui," Shi Yu called out.

"Hey, General, what's your order?"

"Do you know the meaning of the pattern on it?"

Li Shui took a closer look, shook his head and said, "General, my time in Yuesang Kingdom is too short, I really can't tell."

"...It's okay." Shi Yu said gently.

"Hey, I just said that you know everything, but you don't know." At this moment, Zhang Wei took a step forward, but suddenly stepped on a movable brick, and was stunned for a moment, "What...?"

Shi Yu and Li Shui looked back at Zhang Wei, but heard the jade gate in front of them slowly rising. The door that had not been opened for hundreds of years was slowly rising with dull vibrations. The limestone on the jade gate Due to the vibration, layers fell down, forming a sand curtain.

On reaching the top, the door stopped.What appeared in front of Yumen was a jade bed with gauze curtains.

"This... this... is this considered open? It's so simple?" Zhang Wei couldn't believe it.

In fact, the journey along the way was too smooth, the secret passage was unguarded, and the mechanism was too conspicuous, it was like paving the way for them to go in.

Something is really wrong.

"That seems to be someone!" Li Shui suddenly whispered.

When Shi Yu heard the words and looked around, behind the gauze curtain, there were three figures looming in the distance.

Shi Yu raised the hilt of the sword in his hand with one finger, and carefully walked around the jade bed and approached the center of the hall.

In the main hall, Liu Wei and his wife were tied on both sides with Sheng Yue, their mouths were tightly sealed with sackcloth, and they could not make a sound.

"Enter Moon Sang King?!"

"Your Majesty?!" Li Shui and Shi Yu were shocked at the same time.

Shi Yu put away the sword that had been pushed out of the blade in his hand, and stepped forward to check Sheng Yue's injury.He removed a layer of sackcloth from his mouth and asked, "How is the injury?"

Sheng Yue frowned and sighed, "Why did you come?"

"...Of course I came to save you! Your Majesty!" Li Shui laughed, "We can go out right away, you don't have to worry, Your Majesty."

"...I can't get out..." Sheng Yue smiled wryly.

Shi Yu felt something was wrong, "Why?"

As soon as the words fell, the Yumen, which was opened just now, suddenly fell down with lightning speed, as if it had been closed many times smoothly.

Shi Yu stood up and looked around.

something wrong.

Why is the majestic King Shengyue tied up here but there are no soldiers guarding him?Why was the stone room at the beginning full of bones of people who couldn't find the exit, and they could feel the mechanism to open the door as soon as they touched it?

While meditating, a familiar person came in from the main entrance of the hall—Qi Jin, with a sinister smile and a group of soldiers behind him.
