Heaven and earth return to one

Three more months passed in a blink of an eye, and a group of people spent from midsummer to midwinter in the Valley of Disappearance, and they finally got to know half of this mysterious valley.

During the period, Li Yunke and Ben Hongsheng fought head-to-head no less than ten times, and neither side took much advantage.The two of them stand opposite each other, but they are surprisingly consistent on the point that they will never give up without putting each other to death.

"Master, why don't you go out today?" Xiang Duo filled a small bamboo tube with spring water and brought it to Li Yunke to drink, "Don't bother thinking about things, it's okay to have a good rest for a day."

Li Yunke took two sips of water and felt alive again, "I'm just resting. I'll talk about it when Rong Yan comes back, maybe today I can take care of that bastard Ben Hongsheng."

Li Yunke had already taken two pills of the medicine that Xu Mingxi gave, and after that, the poison became even more difficult. Every time he took it, it was like going through a torture.But afterwards, he himself didn't take it seriously, and then squandered what little energy he had left, as if he was afraid that he wouldn't die fast enough.

Youqi looked uncomfortable and didn't say anything, even Li Ren often had a headache because of it. He tried to persuade him a few times, but was fooled by Li Yunke's smile, and finally realized that it was useless to say anything.

Speaking of Li Ren, it was exactly three months ago that Li Yunke and Xiang Duo found him in the dark at night.

The person who put the sword on Xiang Duo's neck that night was Qin Shaoshang who was sent by Li Yunke to protect Li Ren.

Qin Shaoshang met Li Ren who was going to Yingzhong two hundred miles south of the Valley of Disappearance. He didn't show up and protected him secretly until he was attacked by the guards sent by Li Cheng.

Li Ren wanted to go fast and pack lightly, so he only brought about 20 people with him when he left the southern border; Li Cheng sent [-] soldiers, and when the two sides matched up, they would be able to distinguish themselves. If it weren't for Qin Shaoshang He reacted extremely quickly to protect them from fleeing into the Valley of Disappearance, and the [-] or so people would be killed in a blink of an eye.

However, entering the valley started another longer-lasting escape, and in the end, the more than twenty people did not escape the fate of death.Li Ren was also seriously injured, and almost couldn't survive in this valley without a doctor.

On the night that Li Yunke and Xiang Duo met Qin Shaoshang, Li Ren was injured for the second time, on his left shoulder, and a few inches away from his heart would have caused a hole in his heart.

At that time, Qin Shaoshang had used up all the Jinchuang medicines that Qin Shaoshang carried with him. Although the herbs in the valley had grown a lot, neither of them recognized them, so how dare they use them indiscriminately?

Fortunately, You Qi had the habit of bringing gold-chuang medicines, and what Xiang Duo brought was the good things that Xu Mingxi specially gave him before he left, which saved Li Ren's life.

After that, more than half a month later, the four of them reunited with the soldiers brought by Rong Yan, and they reversed the situation of being hunted down, and dared to confront Ben Hongsheng's group head-on.

The soldiers that Rong Yan led to look for Li Ren were allotted to him by Zhang Lixin, and the people brought out by the marshal himself would naturally not be bad.

Although Li Cheng's imperial guards were not very useful, they got his instructions early in the morning and obeyed Ben Hongsheng's orders.And Ben Hongsheng is a sinister and ruthless person who regards human life as nothing, which is why the two sides have been able to stand in a stalemate for so long.

After fighting many times, there are not many people left on both sides. Who can survive to the end will soon be decided.

However, the situation of Missing Valley is special, not to mention looking for someone, it is not easy not to get lost.Probably compared to the equal strength of the two sides, this is the biggest reason why this battle took so long.

"I hope I can get out of this invisible valley before the end of the year. I feel like I'm surrounded by thick fog all day long, and my bones are full of moisture." Li Yunke lazily leaned against the stone wall, "Fortunately, it's south here, and it's winter. It’s not too cold, otherwise we would freeze to death with all the clothes we brought.”

There was a coughing sound from behind, and not long after, someone came over, rubbed his red nose, and said with a smile: "Uncle Huang still has the strength to talk and laugh, so Ren'er can rest assured."

They are currently hiding in a hidden cave at the foot of the mountain on the side of the valley.

Li Yunke smiled, "So I said that you don't have to worry about me. You feel that I will die at any time, but I am still alive and well? But you, Ren'er, don't be careful. If you ask you to add some clothes, you still don't care. Disobedient, now it’s healed, the injury is not healed and the wind and cold are caught again, are you comfortable?”

Li Ren blinked his eyes twice, "As a father, he really has become long-winded."

Li Yunke: "..."

Qin Shaoshang came out from the depths of the cave, put a large outer shirt on Li Ren, and said, "Both of you are not strong enough, so don't let the wind blow at the entrance of the cave, and you can eat something inside." good?"

Li Ren pursed his lips, but didn't respond.

Li Yunke supported the stone wall and stood up, turned his eyes around the two of them, and pointed out: "A friend in need is a friend, this is true."

Li Ren's eyelids twitched heavily, and he wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, he coughed anxiously, and his handsome face turned red in an instant.

"Master... have you misunderstood something?" Qin Shaoshang asked while patting Li Ren on the back.

Li Yunke walked in, glanced at him lightly, "Huh?"

"..." Qin Shaoshang lowered his head uncomfortably, "No...it's nothing."

Li Yunke stopped again, turned around and said, "Shao Shang, Ren'er is really just suffering from the cold, is there nothing else?"

Li Ren, who had just stopped coughing, was almost choked by him again, Jun's face turned even redder, and he hid in the cave before Li Yunke.

Qin Shaoshang smiled wryly, "Master, the prince is still young, how could you make such a joke in front of him?"

"Am I joking? Only the two of you know." Li Yunke patted him on the shoulder, "But Ren'er is seventeen or eighteen, not young, and understands everything she should know."

Qin Shaoshang: "..."

After teasing them enough, Li Yunke wanted to lie down on the temporarily polished stone bed inside. These days, he was really powerless, and he even had a vague premonition in his heart.

But after only two steps, he heard a series of footsteps coming from outside, but it was Rong Yan and others who went out to inquire and came back.

"Master," Rong Yan said with joy on his face, "I found the Qiujue's hiding place!"

Li Yunke also showed some excitement in his expression, "Tell me about it!"

"From here along the foot of the mountain to the west for more than 50 miles, there is also a cave covered by vines. It took a lot of effort for my subordinates to find it." Rong Yan took the water handed by the soldiers and poured most of it, regretting Shaking his head, "It's a pity that there is not only one exit in the cave, but the subordinate himself found two. It seems that smoking is not effective."

Li Yunke said: "He will not let everyone hide in the cave. It's hard to say whether he himself is in the cave. That guy likes to play tricks that are false and real. And in order to prevent Ren'er from leaving the valley, he enters the valley." At the time, some people were still secretly guarding all the passages out of the valley that we could find, even if the people in the cave were dealt with, the rest would not be easy to deal with.”

Rong Yan pondered for a moment, and said: "This subordinate believes that even if Ben Hongsheng is not in the cave, he must be nearby. A few days ago we fought against them twice in the south, and afterward, all the people who followed them followed In that area, I haven’t seen Ben Hongsheng go anywhere else in the past few days, and I think he is resting just like us.”

"Is it easy to attack there?" Li Yunke asked.

Rong Yan picked up a branch and drew a few simple lines on the ground, "The place where they are located is the same as ours. There is no way to go on the north side of the mountain; most of our people are blocked in the east. If Ben Hongsheng chose to come here However, if he goes all the way to the west, he is afraid that he will plunge into the jungle full of beasts that we just got rid of two months ago, and whoever wins and loses there will have to It depends on luck; there is a big river more than twenty miles to the south, and the water quality of Qiujue people is not very good, according to the opinion of my subordinates, Ben Hongsheng will not go there."

After hearing this, Xiang Duo said happily, "Ben Hongsheng wouldn't choose the side with water, so naturally he wouldn't dare to choose the side with wild beasts. Isn't there only one road to the east?"

Qin Shaoshang also said: "As long as we prepare properly, we may not be able to kill him this time."

"But there are too many assumptions." Li Ren, who had already entered the cave, came out again, frowning slightly.

Li Yunke nodded, "That's right. First of all, it's assuming that we can succeed in the ambush, otherwise the odds of victory are still half. Secondly, we also have to assume that Ben Hongsheng will really give up those two paths and jump into the trap we dug for him."

Li Ren said: "What if he doesn't? He ran into the dense forest, should we chase after him? It may cost a lot of lives, but the result is not satisfactory; if we don't chase, everything will be back to the original point." .”

"Perhaps we can count on him to be torn to pieces by the beasts inside after he led people into the dense forest." Xiang Duo said expectantly.

Li Ren: "..."

"If I were him, I would choose to go south." Li Yunke touched his chin and said.

Rong Yan was puzzled, "Why?"

Li Yunke smiled and said, "Because none of you believed that he would go south."

Rong Yan: "..."

"After winter, the fog in the valley has become heavier. Even if we are getting more and more familiar with this place, no one dares to walk around at night." Li Yunke stared at the simple map drawn by Rong Yan on the ground, and his voice sank.

Qin Shaoshang understood, "Master wants to attack at night?"

"Yes, just tonight."

Everyone looked at each other and saw hesitation in each other's eyes.

Li Ren hesitated and said, "Uncle Emperor, it's too dangerous to go out at night. If you don't light the fire, you won't see anything. If you light the fire, they will find you..."

"They don't dare to act at night, so we're sure we don't have the guts to be too prepared, so that we can catch him by surprise." Li Yunke pressed twice on his stuffy chest, "This time, we can't kill him." Ben Hongsheng also wants to cut off his wings so that he can no longer struggle. If he doesn't come east, don't chase after him fiercely. The first task is to break through the defense line he set up to the southwest and escort Ren'er away from the Valley of Disappearance."
