princess come to my arms
Chapter 90 A Matter of Life and Death
The wooden door was closed tightly, and the 'Hutianzi' wreaked havoc in his own territory without crossing the boundary.
The flames disappeared, the heat also dissipated, the vision dimmed, and the hearing became extraordinarily sensitive.
After a long period of training, dead men are slow to speak. Although life and death have long been ignored, they still can't help being afraid when they encounter horrible things and miserable ways of death.
Or maybe it was because they had consumed too much energy just now, and their breathing was extremely heavy and short.
For a while, no one spoke, and the atmosphere became condensed.
Nazhen sat on the top of the stone steps, clasped his hands together, frowned and thought.Ke Lun was sitting next to her, and his face was still in shock, especially the last few painful cries inside, which made her unable to recover for a long time.
"Khan, what should we do now?" Waiting is not an option, Yang Mu took the lead in breaking the tranquility, and the current situation is not optimistic.
Nazhen withdrew his attention, exhaled lightly, and his expression suddenly turned gloomy: "Ai just saw it. The door of the next level is under the stove. If you want to pass, you must put out the fire in the stove. But those The road is blocked by 'Huo Huo Zi', so it may be difficult to get close."
"Why don't your subordinates bring the dead soldiers in and approach the stove, put the stove up first, maybe the cure for flying insects lies in the stove."
Nazhen shook his head: "The stove is too big, and we may not be able to handle it together. This method is impractical. And the longer the stay, the more flying insects will gather, and the attack will be fiercer. The number will increase. , like migratory locusts crossing the border, they can devour you in an instant. Rong Ai think about it again, maybe there are other ways."
Nazhen moved his eyes to Ke Lun's face, saw her frowning, with some doubts in her expression, and asked softly, "Ke Lun, what are you thinking?"
Ke Lun turned his face and looked at Nazhen: "I was thinking, for something to ignite, it needs three conditions, one is the source of fire, the other is combustible objects, and the third is air. Both are easy to say, but the third condition, I don't know how it is satisfied."
After hearing this, Nazhen thought for a while, then nodded, with a look of excitement in his eyes, and he suddenly realized: "The flame in the stove can burn so hot, there must be a vent, and the wind blows continuously from the outside to the inside." , the flames can continue to burn. Otherwise, in such a confined space, it would have to be extinguished in two or three strokes."
Nazhen closed his eyes and recalled it for a while, then Fang firmly said: "The vent is also under the stove, Yang Mu, try to find a way to block the vent, as long as the air in the room is burned out, the fire inside will be extinguished soon of."
"Yes! This subordinate knows what to do."
Yang Mu led the four dead soldiers and re-entered the fire formation.
The rest of the people are waiting in place.
At this time, Nazhen suddenly felt something was wrong, she wondered: "This Gu Ziyou is not one step ahead of us, why didn't we see him in the fire formation?"
Curen replied: "Could it be that he has died?"
"She doesn't look so vulnerable, maybe she has encountered other ways out."
Yang Mu came out from behind the door with a dignified expression: "Everything is arranged inside."
Nazhen nodded, then raised her head and glanced at her subordinates, suddenly feeling a lot less popular.Before entering the mountain, there was still a large army. After two battles, part of it was broken, and then going down, will it...
"Dream Khan, if we can find a way out, let's leave. We subordinates don't care, but you and the Queen of Khan can't make any mistakes!"
Nazhen glanced at Ke Lun, lowered her head silently, her heart was already shaken, and she really didn't want to stay in such a dangerous situation for a moment.
When he raised his head again, Nazhen had already made a decision: "Okay, if we find a way out, we will leave. We don't want Princess Dajin."
Gu Ziyou listened in the dark room not far away, and she knew every word and deed outside.The fire array was about to be broken, she wished she could rush over immediately.She had wasted so much time that the princess did not know what to do.
At this moment, Li Weixi was moved to a hot table, his hands were fixed by his side, and his feet were tied so that he could not move.The two sides of the cheek were clamped by two copper plates, which seemed to be fixed on the stone platform, Li Weixi struggled vigorously, but the copper plate did not move at all.
The face was forced to lie upwards, and there was not much to see.But she could feel that the hot table was surrounded by candles, and it was very hot.
The sticky feeling on the neck gradually disappeared.A person approached, with very light footsteps, and when her figure appeared within sight, Li Weixi saw her face clearly, it was Baiji.
Baiji came to Li Weixi's side and touched her neck with her index finger and thumb. Seeing that the medicine had penetrated into the skin, she applied another layer.
After this action, Li Weixi felt that the skin there became a little tight.
"Baiji, what on earth are you going to do?" Li Weixi asked, "Anyway, I have become your prisoner, why don't you tell me all the truth, so that I can understand."
Bai Ji raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, looked at the hourglass on the low stool, and saw that there was plenty of time, so he nodded, which was considered to have agreed to Li Weixi's last request.
The story is too long, Baiji chose to hit the point directly, and Daoming what to do later, so as not to panic: "Your Highness, have you ever heard of a way to save people, called brain replacement, which is to remove the heads of two people?" , switch bodies."
Li Weixi's eyes widened when he heard the words: "If it fails, wouldn't both of them die?"
"As long as the wound is well controlled and the time is well grasped, the success rate is still very high."
"So you are trapping me here now, just to perform a brain change?"
"Yes!" Baiji suddenly became agitated, her eyes were red, and she said in a high tone: "I didn't want to hurt people, but I didn't have time, I had to do it! During those years in the princess mansion, I also saved you countless times. If you come back, it will be regarded as arriving."
Li Weixi still has doubts: "But, there are thousands of people in the world, why me?"
Baiji took two deep breaths, calmed down, and said, "Because I want to rescue her, just like the princess, who suffers from cold and cold poison, but she is not as lucky as the princess. When I found the deeply hidden "Compendium of Materia Medica" 'At that time, she was completely paralyzed. Even the hottest Chiyan in Chita could not save her life. Up to now, I have to find someone who fits her body and perform a brain replacement. The situation of the princess is similar to that , couldn't be more suitable. Now that your cold poison has healed, half of it is my credit, after changing her body, she won't have to suffer from the cold poison in the future."
"It turns out that you have already planned everything. Everything is your trap. Starting from that medical book, you have mischievous feelings towards me." "So you have already planned it. Everything is your trap. From that medical book , then you have something wrong with me.”
"Actually, it should have been earlier." Bai Ji paced around Li Weixi, "Princess, do you still remember the incident in the ice cellar? Actually, I arranged it. The purpose was to test the extent of the cold poison on the princess. "
"It turned out to be you! No wonder Ziyou kept scolding the secret guards for not protecting them well afterwards, so you arranged it!" Li Weixi suddenly realized, and after a while, he regretted that he didn't know who he was.I trusted her so much that she played with her life at will.
"Princess, don't get angry, I have sinister intentions." Bai Ji changed the subject: "But I am not heinous, since I have taken your life, I owe you something, I will save Gu Zi, and I won't hurt her hair!"
Mentioning Gu Ziyou, Li Weixi's suppressed emotions finally broke out: "Where is she? I want to see her!"
"That's unnecessary. When the princess sees her son-in-law, she will have to say goodbye to life and death. Her mood will fluctuate violently and her blood will flow rapidly, which is really not conducive to the progress of the brain swap. It's the last moment, princess, you might as well trust me again. As long as you cooperate My action, I will protect the life of the son-in-law and send him back to Dajin safely. The princess loves the son-in-law so much, she will definitely agree."
"You!" Li Weixi closed her eyes, with tears in her eyes. She really wanted to see Gu Ziyou, but how could she make it by herself.
She is not good at martial arts, so what should she do if she is injured during the battle.
In today's situation, it is really impossible to escape, it would be great if she can be kept alone, after she returns to the Jin Dynasty, she can continue to take care of Xiao Shanyu.
Seeing that Li Weixi closed her eyes, Bai Ji didn't speak anymore, and didn't continue to force her.She knew that Li Weixi was a smart person who understood the current situation, and she had already made a decision in her heart.
It was nice that everything went at its own pace.
Yu Nie, you will definitely be born again!
Baiji laughed silently twice, with his hands behind his back, he walked down the steps leisurely.
After getting far away, she turned around and looked at Li Weixi on the high platform, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth.
Gu Ziyou is not an ordinary person, if she is let go and leads the Jin army to flatten the Chita in the future for revenge, what should I do?
So how could she let her go!
Baiji waved his hand to beckon a subordinate, put his palm in his ear and said in a low voice: "If you pass the order, all the organs in the formation will be activated. If you see Gu Ziyou, you will be killed, and you will definitely not be left alive! Other idlers, etc., will also be cleaned up." clean."
"Yes!"
As his men went away, a sinister smile appeared on Bai Ji's face.
**
On the other side, Nazhen and his party were still trying to break the fire formation, and Gu Ziyou was trapped in the dark room, making it difficult to get in and out.
After waiting for a stick of incense, the sound of crackling firewood behind the wooden door lock had stopped, and Yang Mu led two of his men in to check the situation.After patrolling around, he came out and reported: "Khan, the fire inside has gone out."
"Go, let's go in." Nazhen patted the dust on his hands, got up, and then pulled Ke Lun beside him.
The door was opened and a group of people entered.Because there is very little air in the room, it feels stuffy and difficult to breathe when walking into it.The fire in the fire array has been extinguished, clean and thorough, not even a single spark can be seen, it was so hot just now, and now it is even more desolate.
The entire space was dimmed, and the accompanying people took out torches to illuminate the ground.The ground is full of small black spots, scattered here and there, so scattered and irregular, they must be the corpses of flying insects.
Three corpses were squeezed in the ventilated place, which were blocked by the dead soldiers with flesh and blood.The man on the top was the main target of the attack by flying insects, his flesh and blood had been burned long ago, leaving only a skeleton, his arms were still stretched out vigorously, protecting the man below.The lower two were slightly better, suffocated alive, with elongated necks and wide-open eyes.
This scene was both heroic and heart-wrenching. Nazhen only stepped forward to take a look, and then hurriedly pulled Ke Lun away.
The scorching corpse was moved away, the ventilation was reopened, and a gentle wind blew in from bottom to top, bringing in fresh air and taking away the stuffy heat in the room.
The stove is very large and very high. The foot of the stove encloses a square, and the height can allow one person to pass through.
The two doors were placed on the ground, and the difference from the previous array was that "life" and "death" were written on the surface of the two doors.
What's going on here?Shouldn't they let them choose?
Nazhen didn't know why, so he asked Curen what he meant.
Ke Lun picked up a hand lamp, carefully looked at the two characters engraved on the door, and after thinking for a while, he said: "In the gate of the yin and yang formation, bullying is the most taboo. If Dao Ming life and death, yin and yang, it should be a kind of guidance. , not a trap. It’s just that I also read these things in books, so I don’t know if I can do them right.” Ke Lun showed embarrassment, hesitating.
Nazhen patted her on the shoulder and said: "Among us, you are the one who knows the most, so that shall prevail. Sadly, this 'death' sounds unlucky, so we will choose this 'life' gate."
The heavy and piercing sound of the rotating shaft sounded, and a new passage was opened, which was a section of descending and winding steps. Yang Mu took the lead to explore the way, and after seeing nothing unusual, he called Nazhen Kelun in. In the end, it was still the dead man.
The tortuous road quickly took away the light, and the fire array fell into darkness again.Not long after, light footsteps sounded, and a faint light moved cautiously from the door, approaching the two weird "life and death" doors.
Gu Ziyou stood still in front of the two doors with a solemn expression, and soon she fell into deep thought.She could hear the conversation between Nazhen and Ke Lun very closely, but could things really be that simple?Life and death are on the bright side?
Gu Ziyou leaned down, and with the faint light of the torch, he swept across the wooden door panel bit by bit.
She looked very carefully, not letting go of any clues.
After burning a stick of incense, Gu Ziyou, who was dripping with sweat, lay still on the spot, and she found something abnormal in a small corner.She poked the dust there with her fingers, and a word appeared in front of her eyes.
After seeing the appearance of the words clearly, Gu Ziyou was stunned, and a chill ran down his spine.
She found a word "death" behind the door of "life"!
The flames disappeared, the heat also dissipated, the vision dimmed, and the hearing became extraordinarily sensitive.
After a long period of training, dead men are slow to speak. Although life and death have long been ignored, they still can't help being afraid when they encounter horrible things and miserable ways of death.
Or maybe it was because they had consumed too much energy just now, and their breathing was extremely heavy and short.
For a while, no one spoke, and the atmosphere became condensed.

When he raised his head again, Nazhen had already made a decision: "Okay, if we find a way out, we will leave. We don't want Princess Dajin."
Gu Ziyou listened in the dark room not far away, and she knew every word and deed outside.The fire array was about to be broken, she wished she could rush over immediately.She had wasted so much time that the princess did not know what to do.
