getting into desperation

Chapter 24

"Go and see if there is a place to stay nearby, it's getting late today, and we'll leave tomorrow." Holding a small bowl, Chang Yu turned his head and reminded Wen Mingxi, "It's better to hide your piece of gold. That person just said that it's not peaceful recently, so it's better not to attract too much attention to your gold, so as not to be stolen."

Wen Mingxi not only refused to listen to the persuasion, but also threw the gold up, and retorted with a smile: "Why? Everyone in this Wuya country is rich, so how could they care about our piece of gold?" Hit someone.Wen Mingxi just wanted to remind the other party, remember to be slower next time.Unexpectedly, the other party ran very fast, and when he reacted again, the gold in his hand disappeared.

Wen Mingxi got up and chased after him: "You little thief, you move very fast. You are robbing in the street. You are also courageous enough. If you dare to rob grandpa's gold, you are really impatient. You stop for me."

Tang Feiyang was about to run to outflank the alley, but was stopped by Chang Yu: "They don't go that way, they go in a straight line. The one who robbed the money is your fiancée, and it must be to save others. Hurry up, maybe you can catch up with them."

"What about you?" Sanyu pointed to the roof, "I'll go there faster than you."

While chasing, Chang Yu stared at the three people in front of him.No, Tang Feiyang's fiancée cannot be caught.After catching her, she must explain everything.The first gunpowder for help has already exploded in the sky, and if there is a word of explanation, it will be delayed for a second.But if you don't catch her, you don't know where to save her.Forget it, just shut her mouth earlier.

Holding the gold in her hands, Qin Shuangluoyue ran forward desperately, for fear of being caught by the people behind her.Unexpectedly, a man suddenly jumped down in front of her, and she couldn't dodge even if she wanted to.What's more, she didn't expect the man to drag her and run away. She thought she might have met bandits. After all, the city has been very turbulent recently, until the man expressed his intention: "I know who you are. You left this gold to me just now. Our lead, now that they are in trouble, please show me the way."

Wen Mingxi stared at Chang Yu in disbelief, completely unaware that Tang Feiyang had run to his side until Tang Feiyang pulled him to stop.Wen Mingxi stood where he was, pointing at the two people who were still running in front of him: "...they are in the same group!" He raised his leg to chase him, but Tang Feiyang grabbed him, "Don't chase—"

Before Tang Feiyang finished speaking, Wen Mingxi pushed him away: "Okay, the three of you are together!" As soon as he said this, Tang Feiyang leaned his body on the tree, put his arms around his chest, and smiled Staring at Wen Mingxi, he looked like a fool.Wen Mingxi was a little slow to react, but he was not stupid. After realizing what he said, he smiled and scratched his head, "Then... that thief is with us?"

When Tang Feiyang heard this, his heart ached from exhaustion, and he didn't bother to explain to him.In the end, he just shook his head with a helpless smile.

Qin Shuangluoyue knew that now was not the time to be blindly suspicious, and raised her finger forward: "Our original location was outside the city, but obviously they hadn't had time to go outside the city. Recently there are many bandits in the city, and they are probably captured by bandits There is only one den of bandits, and that is Qinjue Mountain outside the city. Wait a moment." She knelt down, and touched the marks scratched by a knife on the ground with her right hand, but the marks were not long. The bandits dragged it away here, the knife marks are deep in the front and shallow in the back, if you don't believe it, you can tell it at a glance. It's just..."

Chang Yu sighed: "Don't just stop, they rode away. If you don't believe me, if you walk a few steps forward, you can see those horseshoe marks that have not disappeared. Just those, there are at least ten fine horses, more Not to mention... there are also the disappeared horseshoe prints. With such a huge scale, even sneaking into their dens is extremely dangerous, let alone we have to save people from them. You can take out a golden throw Tell the beggar that your home or family occupies a certain position in Wuya Kingdom."

"Sure enough, it's a bandit. What does my lord need me to do?" Qin Shuangluoyue stood up, hoping to do things according to Chang Yu's idea immediately.

Chang Yu looked at her veil: "Two things. First, I need to know your appearance, lest we will be fooled by others in advance when you come back to save us. Second, first give me a mask that can represent your identity. so that when we rescue them, we can save the explanation directly. After the things are given to me, I will go home immediately to move the rescuers, as much as I can. If it doesn’t work, it’s okay to buy a few neighbors to serve as the headcount. Remember, If you really can't find anyone, don't insist on wasting time to get them together, you must hurry to...that mountain so that you can support us."

"Okay. Please wait a moment." She took out a pen and paper from the cloth bag at her waist as if doing a magic trick, and then took out a small box of dark things from the cloth bag. Seeing Sanyu's doubts, Dip the contents of the box with a pen, and explain while writing: "This thing is an ink sac. We Wuya people never admire keepsakes, because everything in the world can be faked. This is a unique ink sac for our Wuya people, and we carry it with us everywhere. , can save lives, can be rescued. Here."

Chang Yu took the paper, glanced at it roughly: "It's better to be more vigilant." He folded the paper and put it in the purse.Looking up again, the princess has already taken off her veil.Chang Yu raised his eyebrows inadvertently, he probably didn't even notice it, thinking to himself: Hmm...it's really beautiful.

Qin Shuangluoyue just took two steps, and turned her head with a smile: "That's right. That mountain is called Qinjue Mountain. You have to remember it." Turning around and running back, returning the gold to Wen Mingxi on the way , Wen Mingxi was completely confused, "Hey, she managed to steal the gold so far, why did she return it to us now?"

Tang Feiyang's eyes this time can be said to be looking at a fool: "I don't know." Then he patted Wen Mingxi on the shoulder, "Mingxi, the important task of escorting this girl home to rescue the soldiers at this moment is none other than you. How? interest?"

"Rescue soldiers? What's the point of—"

"Tang Feiyang and I are in charge of breaking into the bandits' lair. If you want, it will be the three of us breaking into—"

"Okay! The matter of moving the rescuers sounds like an important task. Don't worry, it will definitely live up to everyone's expectations." Wen Mingxi turned around and ran away with a smile.

Tang Feiyang walked over with a smile: "He was kidnapped by bandits as a girl when he was a child, and he almost lost his virginity. Since then, he has had some shadows towards bandits, and even enemies with more than ten people. Otherwise, his martial arts are so high that he must be with you." .It's not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death."

"Well. I never thought of him that way either."

"Where are we going?"

"Qinjue Mountain. But... I don't know the route. I only know to go out of the city in a straight line. As for the mountain, I'm afraid I have to follow the fate." Tang Feiyang looked at Chang Yu: "Ah? You have talked for so long, and you didn't ask the route?"

"The mountain road is so rugged, it's useless to ask. I can only pray. There are people living in the suburbs or in front of the mountain."

As soon as the two left the city, they saw a family in front of them.The two were overjoyed, and when they got closer to look, something was wrong, so they planned to observe from a distance first.

Chang Yu looked at Tang Feiyang: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Tang Feiyang frowned and stared at the two people standing in front of the door: "These two are guards. They are definitely not ordinary people. Why did you stop? Did you find anything?" The two looked at each other and turned their heads hurriedly.

"Look at their feet. When they were walking there just now, I saw the hilts behind their feet. And on the tree over there, there were two sheathed swords hanging among the branches. In the hands behind the two, each held A small packet of powdered paper. I glanced around intentionally or unintentionally, could it be bandits?"

"Hmm...somewhat like the military." Chang Yu frowned upon hearing this, "The military? They came to catch us?"

Tang Feiyang stared at the door, and shook his head slowly, "No, no. They can't catch up with Wu Yaguo. It's strange, they behave like bandits, and their posture and eyes look like the military... There is no need for the military to imitate bandits. Is it possible that these bandits Have you ever been in the military?"

Chang Yu sighed lightly: "We can't guess the reason here, wait a minute, it seems that someone is going to come out."

Sure enough, a burly man wearing a tiger skin, with his belly exposed and his head tied with a hemp rope came out from inside.The two guards next to him saluted the man. The man raised his head, waved his hands, and walked away arrogantly.The two sentries took everything and followed closely behind.

After the three of them left, Tang Feiyang and Chang Yu went into the house to investigate: "It seems that these bandits are not simple. One thing we need to find out is whether the bandits and the military are collaborating, or some of the bandits have joined the army."

Tang Feiyang nodded: "It's inevitable, but... we still have to figure out where their nest is."

"They haven't gone far, I'll go after them first, and leave some clues for you on the way." Tang Feiyang hummed, and Chang Yu immediately went after them without hesitation for a moment.

"Tsk, it's strange. That person shouldn't have stayed here for a long time just to rest, but there's nothing here." Sighing, he walked to the desk and realized something was wrong as soon as he sat down.Squinting his eyes and poking the ground with his feet, the ground is empty.

Tang Feiyang moved the wooden chair away and kept tapping around the floor. Two-thirds of the floor under the desk was empty.But there is only a crack between the two table legs on the left. If it is a secret passage, it will be troublesome.Although the house is small, there are many things.There are clothes, books, and porcelain vases. One by one, I turned through the secret passages. When will I find them?

Chang Yu followed the three of them closely, but unfortunately the other party was very vigilant, just halfway through the road, the two following noticed something, so they stood where they were and let the leader go first.Chang Yu was not in a hurry, as long as the two of them also went to Qinjue Mountain.

Chang Yu just leaned on the tree branch, wanting to relax.A gust of wind blew by, and he turned to look at the nearby tree.Leaning on the tree was a man in black. The two looked at each other and realized that there was no hostility between them, so they chatted.

"I seem to have seen you before." It was Chang Yu who spoke first, but the words were surprising.Hearing this, the man in black sneered, "It's a coincidence, I seem to have seen you before, kid."

Chang Yu frowned: "Child?" After carefully considering the man in black, "Look, you shouldn't be much older than me."

"Oh? Really? Then... how old are you?"

Chang Yu grinned when he heard the words: "To tell you the truth, I have entered the year of the weak crown."

The man in black grabbed a handful of melon seeds from nowhere, licked them and said with a smile, "I'm not going to hide it from you. This year, it's the fourth year of my life."

Chang Yu only took it as a joke when he heard it, he just smiled and said nothing more.Heart said: more than 400 years old? !Hey, you really treat me like a child.

Seeing that San Yu didn't answer for a long time, the man in black guessed what was going on in his mind, but still smiled and continued to nibble on his melon seeds.

"The old man, why are you on the tree?" Chang Yu looked at him, and found that the man was also looking at him. "Your question is a bit redundant. You little brat can climb a tree. I'm so much older than you, why can't I climb a tree?"

Chang Yu narrowed his eyes.The man in black raised his head and said with a smile, "Think about it, is this the truth?" Chang Yu looked at this man's posture for a long time, then frowned, "It's you?!"

"Huh?" The man in black raised his eyebrows in doubt, seeing that San Yu stopped looking at him, and went to nibble his melon seeds with a smile.
