Stir up a pool of spring water

"Okay, your request is satisfied, hurry up and draw." The masked man urged Long Xi impatiently.

Long Xi didn't dare to haggle any more, so she picked up the pen and began to draw, but after she drew a few strokes, she lowered her head and pondered for a while, as if it seemed that the thing in her memory was particularly difficult to draw, and she stopped drawing, and an hour passed, and she didn't see anything. Draw a complete picture of the weapon.

"Will it happen?" The masked man slammed the table hard, "If you dare to trick me, I will let you know what happens to you!"

"Isn't this drawing?" Long Xi squinted his phoenix eyes, and said to the masked man in a half-coquettish, half-bad manner: "This big brother, walking all the way to this Black Wind Village, I'm not in good health, thirsty and tired Yes, can I have a sip of water?"

"Tsk, why are there so many things!" The masked man asked someone to bring her a pot of water impatiently.

Long Xi first fed Hong Momo a few sips, and then drank a few sips slowly by himself.After drinking enough, he asked Hong Momo again: "Is baby hungry?"

Hong Momo nodded obediently, "Hungry."

Long Xi looked at the masked man eagerly, "Can you give me something to eat? My baby is hungry, and when she is hungry, my mother will feel distressed and can't think of anything."

The masked man was furious, "You think this is a vacation? You want to eat and drink. Believe it or not, I will kill you right now!"

Long Xi had an innocent face: "I'm drawing seriously, I've drawn half of it, and if I can't remember the other half, what a pity."

The masked man was still about to have a fit, when a voice from a vicissitudes of life rang out, "Have someone prepare something for them to entertain them."

As soon as Long Xi turned his head, he saw an old man walking in with a cane. He looked like he was about to die, but his eyes were extremely sharp and piercing. Let him take a look, as if being stared at by a poisonous snake, it was creepy.

The old man walked in, picked up the semi-finished weapon drawing that Long Xi had drawn just now, looked at it for a moment, nodded, and said to Long Xi with a kind attitude: "Master Hong, it was my people who offended you just now, and you were surprised. This old man is here to apologize to you."

Long Xi hurriedly took a few steps back, "You can be my grandfather at your age, I can't afford this gift."

The old man looked at Hong Momo kindly, "This little doll is well-raised, white and chubby, so pleasing to look at."

Long Xi pulled Hong Momo behind him calmly, "Thanks to the compliment, I can eat a little bit normally."

Although the old man looked kind, she didn't dare to treat him as an ordinary kind old man.There is no one who can fight the idea of ​​​​Hundred Soldiers Atlas.Moreover, this old man is so old, and he still obsesses over the Atlas of Hundred Soldiers, one can imagine how deep his obsession is.People with such deep obsessions are actually even more terrifying, because they will achieve their goals at any cost, and often do many jaw-dropping crazy things.

After Long Xi and Hong Momo had eaten and drank enough, the old man didn't urge them, but just looked at them with a smile.

The old man was wearing a black robe. Although he was very old, he seemed to be in good spirits, and his waist was fairly straight. He walked forward step by step, like a cold black snake.

But Long Xi could vaguely see the five-fingered golden dragon embroidered on his clothes, which was faintly visible, revealing a low-key domineering aura.

There are two kinds of people who dare to embroider dragons on their clothes, one is the real dragon emperor, and the other is who wants to be the real dragon emperor.

Long Xi's back was sweating coldly, the old man's palace was too deep for her to see through, and she didn't dare to play tricks in front of him.As the saying goes, old people become smart. An old man of this age has too much experience. The tricks she is playing now are probably left over from other people's play.

This time, her efficiency was much higher, and she drew a complete picture of the weapon with a few swipes.

The old man picked it up and looked at it carefully for a long time, his hands were shaking with excitement, and he muttered to himself: "This is the thing... If I got it 30 years earlier... If it was 30 years earlier..."

Long Xi didn't know what was wrong with him, so he protected Hong Momo and took a few steps back calmly to prevent the old man from going crazy suddenly.

After looking at it for a long time, the old man politely said to Long Xi: "Master Hong, can you guarantee that there are no errors in the drawing? If I ask someone to follow the drawing, if the power of the result cannot reach..."

Everyone knows the implication of the words, anyway, now it's just man's knife and I'm fish and meat, Long Xi didn't dare to confront him head-on, but said tactfully: "There should be no errors in the drawings, but you should always know that my father is dead. When I was a baby, I didn’t know his design idea, but I just wrote it out according to the gourd painting. As for the process of manufacturing, how the craftsman understood it, I don’t know. Maybe the understanding is different. , the weapons produced will also be different.”

Anyway, she has already drawn a picture. As for whether the weapon can be made, it depends on whether the other party has capable people.Of course, if there were mistakes in the manufacturing process, it was because of their comprehension, and it had nothing to do with her.

Anyway, it is to shirk responsibility completely.

The old man didn't know she was playing tricks, but he just smiled and didn't say anything.

Long Xi said: "The map of hundreds of soldiers, there are more than a hundred kinds of weapons recorded on it. Apart from the one I drew now, I still remember two or three pictures of other types of weapons. But there is a condition, you have to put Momo Let her go down the mountain safely."

The old man pondered for a moment, and said generously: "Yes, since Chief Hong is a straightforward person, the old man shouldn't be too embarrassing. Come, let him go!"

Long Xi smiled: "The old man is very loyal, but even though you say you are letting her go, I don't watch Momo go down the mountain, and I always feel uneasy. If you take her to the deep mountains and old forests and let the wolves catch her, Then I don’t know about it in this Black Wind Stronghold.”

"Oh, so what do you want?"

"I watched Momo go down the mountain. You can tie my hands. When she is halfway up the mountain, my people will come to meet her. After she goes down the mountain safely, I will come back with you and draw the rest of the map for you. If you break your promise, you can kill me."

"What if the old man refuses to agree?"

"If you don't agree..." Long Xi suddenly laughed fiercely, "When I was drinking water just now, I put medicine in the water, and both of you drank it, the poison would take place an hour later. The antidote is not on me , on my bodyguard, if we don’t get the antidote within an hour, both of us will die. Anyway, it’s just a matter of closing our eyes, and it’s better than being tortured by you here. What you want is the map of hundreds of soldiers, I believe If I die, it will do you no good, right?"

The old man couldn't stop laughing, "Hahaha...that's cruel! It's the first time I've seen you dare to threaten your own life. And you even drugged your own daughter, saying tiger poison You don't eat children, it seems that you are an extraordinary tigress. If it weren't for you being Han Jinli, I would have wanted to recruit you under my command, this character suits my taste."

"How? While there is still a little time, the old man hastened to arrange someone to take us down the mountain, right? If it's a quarter and a half late, I really want to stay here and use it as fertilizer for you."

"Master Hong is so stunning, I personally escort you down the mountain." The old man tapped the ground lightly with his cane, and several masked men came out, tied Long Xi and Hong Momo back, and led them down the mountain.

Qing Yi had already met Long Xi and the others on the mountainside, and hurried to meet Long Xi and the others.

Little Hongzao cried with tears in her eyes, and shouted loudly to Longxi and Hong Momo: "Master, Momo, are you all right?"

When he got closer, Long Xi said: "Mister, should we fulfill our promise and release Momo first?"

The old man waved his hand, and Hong Momo was untied, but she refused to leave, tearing while tearing at the corner of Long Xi's clothes.

"Momo, go back first, and mother will go back to accompany you soon." Long Xi bent down, smiled at her and said, "Your mother will give you a kiss, and then go back to Auntie Xiaohongzao."

Hong Momo gave Long Xi a hard kiss on the face, and walked to Xiao Hongzao's side step by step.Xiao Hongzao hurriedly picked her up like a baby, afraid of being snatched away again.

Long Xi continued: "Qing Yi, I gave Momo and myself Han Bingsan just now, that is your master's unique secret recipe, and only you bring the antidote. Quickly take the antidote for Momo, and then take a portion of it. Throw it to me."

Qing Yi was taken aback, what is Han Bing San?

Immediately reacting, he took out a bottle of pills from his sleeve, there were only two pills in it, fed one to Hong Momo, and then threw the bottle towards Long Xi.

The old man took it and sniffed it for a while, but couldn't tell why.

Long Xi's breath began to become short, "Give me the antidote quickly, the hour is almost here."

The masked man had no choice but to feed her the antidote and swallow it.

After taking the antidote, Long Xi's symptoms seemed to be relieved a lot, and he said weakly to Qing Yi: "Do you still have the sweet-scented osmanthus cake we bought the day before yesterday? I saw a large osmanthus tree just now, and I suddenly want to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake."

Osmanthus cake?

Qingyi shook his head: "No, I didn't buy much the day before yesterday."

Long Xi nodded, "Is there still some Longjing tea left? Bring it to me, the food on this mountain is unpalatable, let's make some Longjing tea."

Xiao Hongzao hurriedly handed over some of the Longjing they had brought over.This thing is small in size, light in weight, and easy to carry, so I really brought some with me when I went out this time.

The old man's voice turned cold, "Okay, don't dawdle, it's time to go back, do you still want to have a tea party here?"

As he spoke, someone pulled Long Xi back again.

The gleaming broadsword was on Long Xi's neck, even if Qing Yi and the others wanted to rescue him, they would be cautious, and could only watch Long Xi being taken back.

Both Xiaohongzao and Hong Momo were in tears, and Qingyi comforted them: "Don't cry, Gang Leader Hong revealed the exact location of Heifeng Village to us just now, and brought the army together, and I will immediately lead people to rescue them."

"Ah? When did you say that? Why didn't I hear it?" Xiao Hongzao was still crying with snot running down her nose, secretly wiped her tears with Qingyi's sleeve, and was pulled back by Qingyi in disgust.

"She said she wanted to eat the sweet-scented osmanthus cake we bought the day before yesterday, but we didn't buy it at all. This implies that there may be a large area of ​​sweet-scented osmanthus trees planted in the location of Heifengzhai. But the growth environment of sweet-scented osmanthus is different from here. It likes humidity and warmth. Here In the north, the climate is already a bit dry and cold, which is not suitable for the growth of sweet-scented osmanthus, which is the same name as the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, or a similar tree."

"What tree is there in the north, and it has a homonym with sweet-scented osmanthus? Osmanthus—ghost, ghost tree, locust tree, the specific address of Heifengzhai should be in the place surrounded by locust trees. And the leader Hong just said osmanthus cake , People who didn't think about it carefully, or those who didn't know the inside story, couldn't think of the locust tree at all, so those people didn't respond just now."

Little Hongzao looked adoring, "Qing Yi, you are really amazing, you can even guess this!!"

"No, it's Gang Leader Hong who is more powerful. She is the one who wrote the question. I'm just making inferences based on my own factors."

"What about Longjing?" Xiaohongzao said anxiously, "Just now the boss said he wanted to drink Longjing."

"The dragon is the symbol of the Son of Heaven, but if the dragon is in the well and cannot fly out, it means it is trapped, trapped dragon. This may be hinting at the identities of the people in Heifengzhai. To be more precise, it is the old man just now." According to his identity, he is a sleepy dragon. According to the age of the old man, and how long my Xuanyuan Dynasty was founded. That old man may be the former prince——Black Day!"

"The former... the former prince?" Xiao Hongzao was completely dumbfounded. After drinking Longjing, how did he pull out the former prince?

"The Xuanyuan Dynasty was founded more than 8 years ago. It is said that when the former dynasty fell, the prince was still an 90-year-old child. Historians recorded that he was killed during the siege, but it seems that he was secretly rescued and hid for decades. The old man looks very old. He should be about [-] or [-] years old. It's just that the body of a martial arts practitioner is quite strong, but the shape and bone age can't deceive people. If Gang Leader Hong expresses this meaning, then the old man should be black Sunday."

"My darling..." What kind of treasure was hidden by her family leader to attract so many ghosts and monsters to compete for it?

"If this is the case, the matter will be very difficult." Qingyi frowned and thought, "I don't know how much the former prince has relied on, but he has worked hard for so many years, and his whole heart is to restore the Heisheng Kingdom. The person half buried in the loess is still so persistent. If the power in his hands erupted at once, it would be very terrifying."

"Don't worry about how much soil his body is buried in." Xiao Hongzao hopped anxiously, "The most important question now is how to save my family leader!"

Qingyi patted her on the shoulder reassuringly, "Don't worry, Chief Hong is not in danger for the time being, and with her intelligence, she should try her best to protect herself. Let's investigate the details on this mountain in the past two days. Feige sent a letter to the Lord, requesting to call Zhenghuang Banner Forbidden Army, if they join, this Black Wind Village will not be feared."

"I hope so." Xiao Hongzao wiped her tears, "My poor leader, why is life so hard, and I only have a few days to live in peace."

Having followed Long Xi since she was a child, Xiao Hongzao can be said to be the closest maid around Long Xi, equivalent to half of the family.Over the years, seeing what Long Xi has suffered, he always feels sorry for her, but God's will tricks people, and there is nothing he can do.

But Long Xi, who went up the mountain again with the people from Heifengzhai, felt uneasy in his heart, and didn't know if Qing Yi could understand the hints she said.If you can't, you have to think of other ways to escape.

Returning to Heifengzhai, Long Xi carefully looked at the surrounding decorations again, and said to the old man with a half-smile: "Old man, this place looks quite new. How long has your Heifengzhai been established? Are you still keeping it?" Good."

The old man said with a smile: "It has been established for more than a month, and the Black Wind Village is specially set up to wait for the leader of the Hong clan. One can imagine how much face you have."

"I'm ashamed." Long Xi smiled and said, "This is already in your territory, can you untie me? I'm a weak woman, and I can't escape even with my wings."

"Come on, let go."

After moving his hands and feet, Long Xi asked casually: "It seems that there are not many people in your village. As for the weapons on the map of hundreds of soldiers, there are actually very few weapons that are really powerful. Most of them are just weapons. It’s just a slight improvement on ordinary weapons, even if you equip one with your hands, it won’t be of much use, right?”

"I don't need to worry about it, Master Hong. This old man wants it, so it will be useful. You just need to draw the blueprint."

Long Xi shrugged, "It seems to be noon now, I have the habit of taking a nap in the afternoon, can I borrow a room for me to sleep, so that I can continue to paint after a full sleep."

As long as the request was not excessive, the old man would almost respond to any request, and asked Long Xi to be taken to a guest room to rest.

A masked man stood erect in her room to monitor.

Long Xi looked shy, "Brother, don't you want to stand here and watch others take off their clothes? People are used to taking off their outer shirts when they sleep."

The masked man remained unmoved and continued to stand.

Long Xi began to howl shamelessly: "You Heifengzhai don't know how to be polite. Although I'm just a little widow whose husband died, I can't compare to a big girl with yellow flowers, but I'm still a daughter's family, so I still want face. If this I was watched by you when I took off my clothes, how can I behave in the future..."

The howling sound became louder and louder, and the guards outside also heard it, whispering and snickering.The masked man in the house had no choice but to leave the house.

Long Xi quickly went to bolt the door and exhaled lightly.

I found a chair and sat down, slowly sorting out my thoughts.

In fact, she didn't know the old man's identity, but only inferred from his clothing embroidery patterns that he had rebellious intentions. As for who was more suspected of rebellious, let Qing Yi guess.She has been by Han Jinli's side all year round, so she should know more about court affairs than she does.

Rebellious officials and thieves like this are absolutely insane, don't expect them to have the slightest mercy.Even if they dare to seek the court and usurp the throne, what else are they afraid to do?

But the old man is old, even if he really succeeds, he won't be emperor for a few years, unless he has disciples and grandchildren for the benefit of future generations.

I don't know the identities of his apprentices and grandchildren. If they hang around in the imperial court, cooperate with the old man inside and out, and erode the entire dynasty bit by bit, it may be too late when Han Jinli and the others find out.

Now these people couldn't hold back and arrested her first. It may be that something happened to their original plan, and they wanted to seek a new breakthrough from her.

Fortunately, they were provoked by her words just now and did not search her body.So there are still a few things that can be used on me now.

A dagger, a signal flare given by Feng Qiqi before, a set of iron bamboo needles given by Han Jinli, a bottle of powerful drug, and a few jujubes from Xiaohongzao, there are so many things in total.

If Qingyi can decipher her password, she should take action within two days.And what she has to do now is to ensure the safety of her life within two days, and then try not to reveal too much information on the Hundred Soldiers Atlas to the old man.

In fact, the weapon drawing she just drew was modified by her, and it is not exactly the same as the original drawing.

The weapons on the Hundred Soldiers Map are extremely lethal, and if they are released, they will cause turmoil.Over the years, Long Xi tried every means to think of a way to weaken them, only slightly more powerful than ordinary weapons, the kind that ordinary people can use.

The effect is not obvious, no one told her father to be too stunning to be stunning, she has not inherited that talent at all.After so many years, only three weapons have been successfully modified, and the one I drew just now is one of them.But because the design idea is to find the previous weapon style to modify, so it is the same, if you don't know the design style of Wuxuji very well, you can't see the difference at all.

I just hope that the old man doesn't see the clue so quickly, otherwise she will be miserable.

After tidying up the things he could use on his body and putting them where he could use them at any time, Long Xi walked carelessly to the side of the bed, lay down and fell asleep.

Anyway, now that the soldiers are coming to cover up the water and the earth, if you don't save your strength, how can you continue to fight wits and courage with that old guy?

On the other side, the old man held Long Xi's drawing and looked at it again and again, and called a person: "Look at this drawing, is there any problem?"

The person who was called was a middle-aged woman, born extremely ugly, but her eyes were like cold stars in autumn water, shining brightly.

She looked at it for a moment and said: "At first glance, there is nothing unusual. It should be done by the hands of no one. But this person's talent is too heaven-defying, and it is not easy for us to figure it out. I have to start making it, and I will do it as I go. Judge how this thing is, and whether the power it exerts can achieve what we want."

The old man impatiently tapped the ground with his cane, "Hurry up, I don't have much time!"
