First Lady of the Crown Prince

Chapter 862 Xuanyuan Qi wakes up! (first update)

Zhang didn't expect that she would be born prematurely, so she didn't bring the baby's clothes with her when packing her luggage. Gu Jiao had to find a clean piece of clothing to wrap him up, and swaddling the baby against her chest with a piece of cloth.

Tang Yueshan wanted to share the burden for her, but he really didn't dare to touch the newborn baby.

 He was afraid that his thin arms would be broken by accident due to his rough hands and feet.

He carried his own big bow on his back, with dozens more arrows in the quiver, and a long sword at his waist.

Gu Jiao's weapon is the silver gun that Xiao Hei Wuchang threw to her. Although it is not as good as her own red tassel gun, it feels good in the hand.

This operation was about 50 to 50 failure to success. The newborn baby followed them and might have been killed by the Jin army together with them when they went out.

 But they must do this for the sake of a thousand lives underground.

“Are you sure you don’t need to bring more people?” Shangguan Qing asked.

Gu Jiao said: "No need, Old Tang and I are enough. There are too many people and it is not conducive to hiding."

Tang Yueshan thought deeply: "That's right, not to mention that you don't have many people, so you should stay and deal with the Jin army."

Shangguan Qing didn’t force it anymore.

Before leaving, Ms. Zhang woke up, and Gu Jiao gave her the child and asked her to feed it.

 After Mrs. Zhang finished feeding, she gave the child to Gu Jiao with tears in her eyes.

Shangguan Qing led the way, and the two ghost soldiers stopped behind, and the group walked through the winding passage.

The further inside, the more Tang Yueshan was impressed by the magic of these underground passages. If there had been such a project in Yuegu City of Zhao State, Chen State's army would have been wiped out in one fell swoop!

"There are few ghost soldiers, but the passage is like an underground maze, and it is narrow and difficult to pass through. It is impossible for an army of 20,000 to come in all at once. It will be easy to defeat them one by one if they come in one by one." He murmured to himself, for Shangguan Qing and the villagers Their survival probability is a little more confident.

Of course, the Jin army is not a vegetarian. Every group of people who die can figure out the rules of a passage. The longer time goes by, the more disadvantageous it will be to the ghost soldiers.

 “It’s better to get Yan’s imperial army over as soon as possible.”

Hold!

I have never been so worried about fighting in Zhao Kingdom!

 Forget it, it’s all for my godson.

"We're here." Shangguan Qing stopped at the end of the passage. He held the oil lamp in his hand and shined a light on the earth wall. "Behind this door wall is the passage leading to the entrance of Ghost Mountain. After you go out, this passage will It will be destroyed and no one can come in again. I ask you one last time, have you thought clearly? Even if you are killed at the entrance of Ghost Mountain, I will not be able to rush to save you."

 “I know.” Gu Jiao said.

Shangguan Qing held an oil lamp, and the dim light fell on Gu Jiao's green and calm face. The red birthmark bloomed like a coquettish flower in the dark night.

Shangguan Qing said: "Although we have known each other for a short time, you have an aura that feels familiar to me."

 Because we are a family, Xiao Daiqing.

Gu Jiao said seriously: "Open the passage."

 I will rescue you and take you to your father, your mother and your brother.

 You are everyone’s salvation, so please hold on, Xiao Qing.

 …

Gu Jiao and Tang Yueshan walked out of the passage. There was a very slight sound of quicksand underground. This was because the passage was being filled in by the government.

Tang Yueshan and Gu Jiao came to a big tree and walked dozens of steps to get out of Ghost Mountain. The only trouble was that hundreds of Jin troops were stationed there.

It’s definitely not possible to break in forcefully.

 They did not ride the Black Wind Cavalry, so they could easily be overtaken by the Jin cavalry.

Tang Yueshan gestured and said silently: "Let's go around from behind them."

It was still dark at the moment and it was pitch dark all around. If they were careful, it would not be impossible to avoid it.

 The premise is that the little guy doesn’t cry.

Gu Jiao glanced at the sleeping little guy and nodded slightly.

"who!"

 A Jin soldier turned his head and shouted.

“It’s a hare.” His companion smiled and caught the hare that strayed in. “We’ll roast the rabbit later.”

Gu Jiao and Tang Yueshan walked quietly behind them.

The terrain of Guishan is high, and it was very cold at night. More than half of the Jin troops rested on the spot, and only a dozen Jin troops gathered around the campfire, warming themselves while guarding the entrance.

No one noticed that two figures were quietly passing by not far away.

Just when the two of them were about to walk out of the woods, Gu Jiao paused.

What's wrong?

Tang Yueshan asked her with his eyes.

 Gu Jiao: I seem to have stepped on something.

Tang Yueshan was about to speak, but the next second, he froze.

 He swallowed and continued eye contact: "I seem to have stepped on it too."

The two of them raised their heads at the same time, and saw several rows of sharp knives hanging on the leafy tree trunks above their heads, with the bright tips pointed at them.

As soon as they let go, knives will rain from the sky.

This is not an ordinary rain of knives, it is stretched with silk thread, and its speed is faster than an arrow. Even if the dark soul comes, it cannot be avoided.

　　It's over, it's over. What does it mean to die before leaving the army? This is it.

Tang Yueshan: Is the Jin army so powerful?

 Gu Jiao: ...I think it’s Shangguan Qing.

This was originally a method used to deal with the Jin army, but unfortunately the Jin army did not step on it. She and Tang Yueshan stepped on each one.

Tang Yueshan: What to do now? Wait?

 Gu Jiao: Waiting for the child to cry, we will be exposed; or waiting for the Jin army to patrol, we will still be exposed.

Tang Yueshan: “…”

“Okay, I’m going to take a quick break.” A Jin soldier stood up and stretched, rubbed his hands, and sighed, “It’s really cold on the mountain.”

The companion teased him: "Lazy people pee a lot!"

 “Who else is going?”

 “What? Are you afraid of ghosts?”

 “Aren’t you afraid?”

 “Let’s go, let’s go, let’s do it together!”

It was all over now, more than a dozen people came together, and they couldn't hide anymore.

Gu Jiao tightened her grip on the silver gun in her hand.

Then fight out!

Tang Yueshan: First grab someone to block the knife.

 Gu Jiao: I understand.

More than a dozen Jin troops came towards the forest, and the two of them were ready to be exposed. They hoped that the Jin troops would not resort to shooting and killing, but it would be better to get closer and closer.

A Jin soldier who had had a little drink unbuttoned his belt, glanced at it casually, and asked uncertainly: "Huh? Is there someone over there?"

Everyone didn't even bother to put on their pants and hurriedly took out the bows and arrows on their backs.

 “Fire the arrow!”

grass!

　　　Come and shoot!

Tang Yueshan's scalp feels numb, how can he hide from it?

If you loosen your legs, you will be stabbed to death with a knife; if you don't loosen your legs, you will be shot into a sieve by the Jin army.

At the critical moment, a ghostly shadow flashed over, grabbing Gu Jiao with one hand and Tang Yueshan with the other, and whisked them away from the place!

There was a rain of knives in the sky, cutting the arrows in half in half!

 “Go over and have a look!” said a Jin soldier.

The group of people fastened their belts and came to the scene to take a closer look. They were all dumbfounded.

 There was no human figure on the ground, only a stabbed prey.

"What, it's just a stupid roe deer." A Jin soldier muttered, "It seems that it has touched the mechanism here..."

Another Jin soldier said: "I'm just saying that it's not peaceful in the woods. You should be careful in the future and don't step on any traps yourself."

 …

Gu Jiao and Tang Yueshan were led into an underground passage by the sudden appearance of a shadow.

 Gu Jiao actually guessed who it was, but she still took out the fire folder and took a picture. When she saw the old face, she felt a long-lost feeling in her heart.

 It was as if I had finally found this person.

 “It’s you indeed,” she said.

 “Who is he?” Tang Yueshan asked.

Gu Jiao looked at the man in armor steadily: "General of Yan State, Xuanyuan Qi."

"Xuanyuan Qi..." As a military general, Tang Yueshan had naturally heard of the various generals of the Xuanyuan family, but the ones he heard the most about were Xuanyuan Li, the head of the Xuanyuan family, the God of War of Dayan, and Xuanyuan Li's eldest son, known as the Little God of War. Known as Xuanyuan Sheng.

 Hands of Xuanyuan Qi have not been heard much.

"Ah, I remembered. He was Xuanyuan Li's younger brother. Didn't he die more than thirty years ago?" Tang Yueshan asked.

“It’s a fake death,” Gu Jiao said.

Xuanyuan Qi's no longer dull gaze fell on Gu Jiao's face, and he said slowly: "Do you know about me?"

Gu Jiao thought for a while: "This...how should I tell you? Do you know Shangguan Qing's life experience?"

 Xuanyuan Qi looked confused.

 Looking like he doesn’t know, he must not know about Xiao Heng’s existence.

 Let’s use the identity of Anguo Gongfu.

Gu Jiao said: "Dong An Guo is my foster father, and my name is Xiao Liulang."

Xuanyuan Qi corrected him: "You are, girl."

 This is not a woman's name.

I almost forgot about this incident. When I fought with him, I revealed that I was a little girl.

Gu Jiao helplessly spread her hands: "Okay, my real name is Gu Jiao, and Xiao Liulang is my identity when I walk in Dayan. This is the token of Anguo Gongfu, and this is the token of the princess." Gu Jiao took out two tokens. Hand it to him.

Xuanyuan Qi did not take the token, but murmured the name in a daze: "Gu, Jiao."

Tang Yueshan could understand a little bit, but not completely. He looked at the two of them in a fog, completely confused as to why Xuanyuan Qi faked his death in the first place and why he was now in Guishan.

 Also, this girl knows him.

  Could it be that Xuanyuan Qi is the ghost king of the back mountain? !

Tang Yueshan: Oh my goodness, this is so exciting!

"I want to leave the city." Gu Jiao said to Xuanyuan Qi.

 “Wait, half an hour.” Xuanyuan Qi said.

 Then he turned and walked away.

Gu Jiao stepped forward to follow.

Tang Yueshan touched the big bow on his back with his backhand and followed quickly.

Gu Jiao did not expect that Xuanyuan Qi actually asked them to take them back to the cave in the back mountain, which is commonly known as the Ghost King's lair.

Tang Yueshan saw the Black Wind King in the lair and the Black Wind Rider who was brought back from the forest by the Black Wind King.

The Black Wind King was very happy to see Gu Jiao and rubbed his head against her.

Gu Jiao also touched it: "Boss."

Then the Black Wind King discovered a strange smell and sniffed it in Gu Jiao's arms.

“It’s a new baby, I want to take him out of the city.” Gu Jiao said to the Black Wind King.

The Black Wind King smelled it and accepted the little guy's scent.

After Xuanyuan Qi returned to the cave, he walked directly to the stone steps at the entrance of the cave and looked up at the endless night sky. The rusty armor reflected the cold light in the moonlight.

Gu Jiao came to sit next to him, glanced at him and said, "Have you remembered?"

Since his horse had fallen off anyway, Gu Jiao simply used her voice.

"Yeah." Xuanyuan Qi responded, "Not much, not much."

Gu Jiao made a sound, nodded, and asked: "Do you remember why you came to Ghost Mountain?"

 “Wait, I’m alone.” Xuanyuan Qi said.

“Is he the one who built the Guishan Tunnel?” Gu Jiao asked.

 “Yes.” Xuanyuan Qi said.

　Who is so powerful? Built such a sophisticated and huge project?

Gu Jiao couldn't help but think of the first Lord of Shadows, but soon, she shook her head.

If that person is the Lord of Shadows, why hasn't he come to see Xuanyuan Qi for so many years?

Gu Jiao felt that the first Shadow Lord was probably no longer in this world.

The little guy in her arms twitched. Gu Jiao patted him gently and said to Xuanyuan Qi: "By the way, I met your son Xuanyuan Zheng. He is now a monk and his Buddhist name has passed away."

Xuanyuan Qi's empty eyes flashed with a flicker: "He is still alive."

 He did not doubt Gu Jiao's words.

It turns out that both of you, father and son, thought that the other one was dead. Gu Jiao nodded and gave him a definite answer: "He and I met in Zhaoguo. At that time, he was already Master Liaochen in our back mountain temple. "

Xuanyuan Qi was already half a living dead, and it was difficult for him to have any complicated and exciting emotions, but Gu Jiao still felt something different from him.

He said word for word: "It's good to be a monk."

 It’s not really a monk, it’s just a vest.

 This is just waiting for you father and son to meet and let him tell you personally.

Gu Jiao said: "He should be coming to the border soon."

Liao Chen secretly escorted Xiao Qingkong, and once Xiao Qingkong safely entered the territory of Zhao Kingdom, he would set off westward.

"He always thought that you died in the hands of Shi Tian. If he knew that you were still alive, he would be very happy."

 Gu Jiao said, paused, turned to look at him and asked, "Do you remember what happened with Shi Tian back then?"
