Chapter 508 Lei Hong's Whereabouts
How could Dugu Xingyue not be in a hurry?She saw with her own eyes that Liu Chong ordered people to smash the entrance of the cave, and countless rubble fell down. Zong Xin and his party would definitely be buried in the cave. Dugu Xingyue searched the mountain for a long time to make sure that there were no other caves in this mountain.Dugu Xingyue arrested another soldier who was digging in the cave, and asked about the situation. Liu Chong had already sent someone to investigate. The cave was sealed, and there was only one exit directly in front. They were trapped to death in the cave. If they didn't go to rescue soldiers, although they wouldn't die of thirst in the cave, they would definitely starve to death.

Dugu Xingyue knew that she couldn't ask the Song Clan for help. Liu Chongtai knew the Song Clan's martial arts. If Song Yan made a move, the entire Song Clan would be doomed. Even if Song Yan didn't mind, Song Yan alone might not be able to rescue Zong Xin. And he might not be willing to help.

After all, under such circumstances, it is not enough to defeat those masters and soldiers. There must be enough people to dig through the cave, otherwise it is useless even if they win.It is impossible for the Song Clan to die on the mountain. Until Zong Xin is dug out, the Song Clan does not have this strength at all.

Now there are only two people who can save Zong Xin, and that is Lei Hong and Guo Wei.Guo Wei is busy with affairs, but he will definitely send troops to help. There is only one problem. If Guo Wei sends troops, the battle may take a year or two. Zong Xin simply cannot wait so long.

So there is only one way for Dugu Xingyue, and that is to find Lei Hong.Only Lei Hong could go alone without leading troops, and Liu Chong couldn't afford to provoke him at all.As long as Lei Hong orders Liu Chong to release him, he must let him go, because Lei Hong's martial arts are too high, even if there are many masters to protect him, it is not difficult for Lei Hong to take Liu Chong's life.

Dugu Xingyue didn't dare to stop at all, and immediately rushed from Taiyuan to Chang'an without sleep, changing more than a dozen horses halfway.It's a pity that after arriving at King Lei's Mansion, I found out that Lei Hong was not in King Lei's Mansion at all, he went to Xuzhou.

Lei Fang gave birth to a baby boy named Lei Hailong in Prince Lei's Mansion. After recuperating, Lei Fang decided to return to Xuzhou to reunite with her husband Fan Zhi, but Lei Hong loved his grandson very much, and also loved his daughter very much, and hoped that he would stay longer. a period of time.

Lei Fang has been back to King Lei's Mansion for a while, during which Fan Zhi came several times, but Lei Hong never gave him a good face, and returned to Xuzhou to handle official business after seeing his wife who was about to give birth in good health.At this time, Xuzhou is already the territory of the king of Yan, Murong Yanchao. This place can retreat to the Tang Dynasty, and advance to attack the Zhou Dynasty. Murong Yanchao also became the emperor of the land here. in the eyes.

Fan Zhi did not join forces with Murong Yanchao, so his troops were stationed in Yangzhai County not far from Xuzhou. It was originally under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou, but was separated by Fan Zhi's garrison and merged into Dazhou.Moreover, the confrontation between the two places has been going on for a long time, and Murong Yanchao did not dare to act rashly.

Because she was reluctant to let her daughter Lei Fang take her grandson Lei Hailong away, and Lei Hong has been very quiet recently and didn't go out to hang out, so he just took this opportunity to go around Xuzhou and warn Murong Yanchao by the way, Fan Zhi is his son-in-law, Before attacking Fan Zhi, one must first consider the power of Lei Wangfu.

In this way, Lei Hong and Lei Tianxiao escorted Lei Fang to Xuzhou together, and the time Lei Hong left was not long or short, and no one knew when Lei Hong would come back.

Dugu Xingyue is just a concubine of Zong Xin, and Lei Hong did not announce his relationship with Zong Xin, but only said that Zong Xin can use all the power of Lei Wangfu. As for whether Zong Xin's concubine has this power? People don't know either.

After hearing the news, the steward of King Lei's Mansion immediately sent all the forces in King Lei's Mansion to look for the prince, and rushed directly to Xuzhou with Dugu Xingyue and a team of masters.The old butler knew Lei Hong's character very well. He felt that Lei Hong should still be in Xuzhou at this time, so if he wanted to save Zongxin, he had to go to Xuzhou and tell Lei Hong about it.

After such a toss, Dugu Xingyue wasted a long time, she didn't know how she got here these days, she almost slept on the horse's back, letting the horse continue to run forward.

From Taiyuan to Chang'an, and then from Chang'an to Xuzhou, it is almost a round trip of the Great Zhou territory.If ordinary people are not in a hurry, they may not be able to get there after walking for several months or even half a year.But Dugu Xingyue only left for 20 days, and finally found Lei Hong in Xuzhou.

After Lei Hong heard the news, he almost went crazy.Immediately, he rode on his five-colored bull, and ran towards Taiyuan in a straight line with Dugu Xingyue in a semi-conscious state. It was a straight line, passing through several towns on the way. I don't know how many houses and buildings were damaged on the road, and how many pedestrians were killed. Some people were even killed by Lei Hong's colorful bull when they were eating and sleeping at home.

Lei Tianxiao directly asked the housekeeper to assemble an army of 15 troops from the Leiwang Mansion and send troops to Taiyuan.He himself took a hundred masters from the Fuzhong and headed straight to Taiyuan.Because Lei Fang had already told Lei Tianxiao the approximate location, so as long as he could reach Taiyuan City, he could find that mountain by going east. After all, there is still a Taoist temple that many people should know about.

It took Dugu Xingyue 20 days to arrive and only seven days to return to Taiyuan.But it had been a month since this time, and Dugu Xingyue was worried that Zong Xin wouldn't be able to survive.Although there was endless wine in Zong Xin's Dionysian gourd, there was no food.How many days can the three of them survive if they only drink and don't eat?
………………

At this time, Liu Chong returned to the cave again, where he deployed two thousand elite soldiers and dozens of martial arts masters.These people have been waiting here for more than a month, and everyone is wondering when the rubble can be removed, because after the earthquake they saw a strong light rushing out of the cave, and they knew that the dragon veins had been unearthed, but it is estimated that The dragon veins were already in Zong Xin's hands. After digging up the broken corpses, which one should see Zongxin's corpse first or the dragon veins first?

Liu Chong smiled lightly: "Have you shouted to the inside? Did you get a response?"

"Your Majesty... it has been more than a month. I believe the people inside have long been starved to death. I believe that these rubbles should have been moved away long ago." The person who spoke was Zhang Yuanhui, Liu Chong's most trusted person, who has always been a The deputy general stayed by his side and rescued Liu Chong several times in front of the two armies.

Chi Mu said: "No, it can't be removed yet. Master Shichuan Zongxin has a precious gourd, which contains endless wine, and there is a pool in the cave. We have already checked these. As long as Zongxin has water , I believe it can last for another month."

"This...how is it possible, even if there is water and no food to eat, how long can Zong Xin last? He probably starved to death in half a month. Even if he didn't starve to death, he probably didn't even have the strength to stand up."

Liu Chongdao: "You don't understand this. If you just drink and don't eat, you can live for at least a month. But if you have food, it's another matter."

"Where did the food come from? We have sent people to investigate this cave a long time ago. Except for a pool, the other places are all rock gables. At most, we can find some scorpion spiders and the like, but how can those things be considered food?" Zhang Yuanhui I don't believe it at all. Although the other party is the emperor, the relationship between the two is quite good, and sometimes they don't need to be too polite.

Liu Chong said with a smile: "Don't you know that Master Zongxin is an eminent monk? What if he can conjure something to eat? If I don't get a response from Zongxin, I will never remove these gravels. Anyway, I know the dragon's veins." Inside, Zong Xin couldn’t get out, and I’m not in a hurry. Master Zong Xin has already demonstrated his flying skills to the world, and I want to see Master Zong Xin’s skills of escaping from the ground, but it’s a pity that I don’t have the chance. I guess Master Zong Xin hasn’t mastered it yet. Wait another month and move the rubble away. If Zong Xin still has the strength to escape by then, the widow will fall to the ground in admiration.”

Although Liu Chong said so, and Chi Mu kept nodding his head, they didn't think so in their hearts.Zongxin has an infinite amount of wine in the gourd, so water is not a problem, the problem now is food.Three people went in, and after two months, only Zong Xin would be left alone, and the other two skeletons without flesh and blood.

Their thinking is the same, no matter how powerful Zong Xin is, he must eat, and if he does not eat for a few days, he will be dizzy from hunger, and there is no food in the cave, so Zong Xin's only choice is to take the other two Individuals eat.

If it is said to eat after killing a person, Zong Xin will soon find that the meat will deteriorate in a few days. Of course, the spoiled meat cannot be eaten again, but Zong Xin can dry the meat with fire, so that it can be preserved Longer, but of course such meat is not as good as fresh meat.

So... the remaining person will be controlled by Zong Xin, and then the flesh of his body will be cut off bit by bit, and he will even be forcibly fed until his hands and feet are eaten up by Zong Xin, and then he will eat his body. The result will definitely be Very miserable.

Zong Xin's martial arts is the highest, so this is also the most likely thing to happen.Although Liu Chong and Chi Mu Taoist are not sure whether their deduction is correct, but this is the safest and safest way.After all, there are too many legends about Zong Xin, it is too scary, they must be sure that everything is safe before they dare to attack Zong Xin.

There are so many infallible people in the world, especially when facing people like Zong Xin.Liu Chong also thought about shouting outside, so that Zong Xin inside would accept his conditions and release him.But no matter how I think about it, I feel that as long as Zong Xin is not dead, other methods are not safe, and I haven't heard any response from inside.

Zhang Yuanhui said: "Your Majesty, if... Zong Xin is still alive, let him be released. I believe Zong Xin doesn't have the strength to escape at this time. Wouldn't it be better if we restrain him and let him help Your Majesty seize the world? Why live? How about starving him to death?"

"No, absolutely not." Chi Mu said: "Pindao thinks it's safer to be locked up for one more month. Anyway, Zong Xin's death or immortality is a good thing. Dazhou has today's stability and Zong Xin can't get rid of it. The emperor was also arranged by Zong Xin. If he died here, I believe Guo Wei would lose a lot of help. This is the real good thing."
