Cang Ri Qing Lan
Chapter 140 Finally
After the prince's remnant party was eliminated and the ban was lifted in the royal city, many people were still jittery. Almost all the merchants closed their shops during the three-day national mourning.
Compared with the desolate streets, this kind of situation is already eye-catching, attracting the sparse passers-by to look sideways, and there is no shortage of suspicious and jealous eyes.
"The merchant's business is getting bigger and bigger, and every day is very prosperous."
A middle-aged businessman dressed as a middle-aged man passed by, stopped to take a second look, and then muttered something in a low voice.
"They have just helped the new king to the throne. I said, master, do the math, will the state of Jing be named Shang in the future..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Isn't the prince suffering enough this time?!"
When the middle-aged man heard this, he hurriedly interrupted the big man, and was about to reprimand him, when his expression changed drastically, and he pulled the big man back to the side of the street.
As the sound of horseshoes approached quickly, a group of cavalry passed in front of the two of them. The leader was in black armor, and his eyes were calm and sharp like a falcon on his knife-like silhouette. Behind the shop, it was a little deeper, but he didn't stop for a while, and a group of cavalry disappeared at the corner of the street in a blink of an eye.
"Who is this person? He's so majestic!"
The burly man who was avoiding by the side stretched his neck at the cavalrymen who were leaving in Juechen, making a fuss and speechless.The middle-aged man also stared in the same direction, and subconsciously replied,
"This is the great general of the Kingdom of Jun. It seems that Emperor Jun is supporting Niwang behind his back..."
When he said this, he realized that he had slipped his mouth, so he quickly swallowed the words, and hurriedly glanced left and right, ignoring the big man's questioning, shut up and left.
It's better not to mention the twists and turns behind these things!
This undisputable general is naturally Shen Haozhe.
King Jing came to the throne, and Shen Haozhe, who was close to the king's city, came very early. Although he was very worried and didn't want to leave this trip at all, he expressed the position of the entire country. .
"Your Majesty, General Shen, the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin, is here to congratulate you."
Because everything is simple, there are very few changes in the Khan Palace, and even Qingling himself is not much different from King Niwang, except that he wears a navy blue outer robe and crown, with flowing lake blue dark patterns on it, and the neckline is lined with furry velvet. White fur, simple yet luxurious.
He raised his hand to let Shen Haozhe take a seat, his eyes paused for a moment on the other person, the expectation in his eyes had turned into disappointment,
"Is there any news from General Shen?"
"King Lao Jing is concerned."
Shen Haozhe obviously didn't intend to go into details, he went straight to the topic after noticing that there was no one else around,
"The ministers have complied with His Majesty's arrangement and are ready to assist King Jing to accomplish affairs at any time."
Hearing Dai Canglan's thanks, the words were unfamiliar and different, Qing Ling's face changed, he understood that Shen Haozhe must be extremely reluctant to free up his hands to help himself at this time, but he also didn't want to be distracted ,
"He hasn't come back yet, how can I deal with the merchant with peace of mind."
"Your Majesty didn't tell Prince Jing?"
Taking a deep look at Qingling Yiyan, Shen Haozhe's complexion became a bit uglier,
"All the arrangements were launched when the eleventh prince died. Please King Jing not to disappoint His Majesty's kindness."
"If something happens to him, what's the use of this position...!"
Qingling choked, and then became anxious, Shen Haozhe stood up abruptly before he finished speaking, and shouted abruptly,
"What can happen to him?! Is it an accident that His Majesty became the co-lord of the world, the person who can hurt him..."
He stopped suddenly, clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice,
"I believe that His Majesty will be safe and sound, and he can save himself from danger every time."
The voice is firm and unquestionable, and I don't know if it's for convincing Qingling or myself.
He believed in Cang Lan, he had to believe in Cang Lan, this was his emperor, the one who reshaped the country, not even the blue-eyed general who came back from the dead could take him away!
It wasn't Cang Lan who asked, Yiyan almost forgot that he had a son, because it was the 'secret' of the door, of course they would not recognize each other, and the door owner rarely mentioned it, even the last time they met was so long ago that it was vaguely blurred clear.
So he realized that the silver-haired emperor didn't care much about this child, so he immediately put it aside.
In other words, Yi Yan didn't think about the child's spare time at all. Ever since he brought Cang Lan back against his will last time, he knew that he had been tampered with.
This is not uncommon in the door, but he can't help but feel disgusted, and the haunting nightmare every night makes him more and more restless.
The same shadowy figure always appeared in the dream.
This person seems to be in a dangerous situation. He desperately wants to protect him, but he can't move at all. He can only see a piece of redness branded on the figure's naked back, accompanied by the sound of scorching, and burnt blood coming out of the skin. The green smoke, the dark red hideous wound then penetrated deeply into the flesh and blood...
He yelled uncontrollably, the man's drooping head finally lifted up, and a smile opened at the corner of his mouth slightly,
"From today onwards, you will be called Yiyan... If you don't want to die as a nameless slave, then live for me."
Yes...he is Yiyan...he wants to live!For the person who gave him his name, he must go back alive!
Yi Yan struggled and woke up suddenly!
... Everything seems to be still in front of my eyes, only the figure in the dream can't remember the face.
Before the cold sweat on his body dried, a thought suddenly came to his mind, turned over and rushed out of the room.
"Guardian Yiyan, the sect master has ordered you not to..."
When the person assigned to watch at the door saw Yi Yan, he suddenly woke up and dozed off, and hurriedly stopped him, but he met the blue eyes of a trapped animal, and the rest of the words were lost.
Yi Yan didn't want to listen to the other party's nagging, so he directly punched the man unconscious, and quickly walked towards the stone room where Cang Lan was imprisoned.
He couldn't wait to get his guess confirmed from the silver-haired emperor, and he didn't want to delay any longer!
Xingzhong's most secretive lair was dug out from the inside of the mountain range. Yiyan twisted and turned in the long stone path and kept going up. In order to avoid the gatekeepers, he detoured several forks and finally arrived near the stone chamber.
He quickly thought about how to pass through the heavy guards in front, and he had already stepped lightly to prepare for the surprise attack.
However, when he turned carefully through the passage, he suddenly smelled a faint scent—very similar to the incense on the owner of the door, but mixed with a very different faint smell of rust!
Someone is nearby!
He didn't see the target, but the instinct of grinding against the enemy countless times made him feel the danger, so he raised his elbow and slammed into the mountain wall beside him!
However, the man's slightly cool palm had already twisted his neck one step ahead...
"...Yiyan?"
The palm on the side of the neck was useless, Yiyan also recognized the voice close to his ear, he stopped immediately, and rushed to the opponent's arms in a flurry of hands, the person reached out to catch it, lowering his voice Laughed,
"I thought you didn't miss me at all, did you play hard to get?"
"No...! I've been looking for opportunities..."
Yi Yan explained, and when he heard Cang Lan's muffled smile, not only did he not feel uncomfortable, but instead he fixed his eyes unconsciously, he really liked the smile in front of him.
"Really? I can't wait."
Seeing her blue eyes staring at her without blinking, the corners of Cang Lan's mouth raised half a point, and she intentionally leaned over to whisper in Yi Yan's ear.Feeling that the other party didn't dare to move, he stretched out his hand to support the man's chin, turned his head sideways, and the tip of his tongue brushed the slightly parted lips, protruding into his mouth to tease the softness inside, tossing and entangled.
The two of them fit together almost perfectly, no need to confirm with hands, Cang Lan is very familiar with the outline of the body in the arms, neck, collarbone, chest, waist and abdomen... The man's naked body trembled slightly, but he obediently opened his legs to accept his body. The scene then appeared in front of my eyes...
He jerked away, took a deep breath, and cursed in a hoarse voice before the masculine instinct of possessing Yiyan immediately overwhelmed his reason.
Obviously unable to keep up with Cang Lan's changes, it wasn't until the fingers lingering behind the ears were retracted that Yi Yan came back to his senses, suddenly at a loss,
"Emperor...?"
Cang Lan didn't answer, and backed away again, speaking still in a low hoarse voice,
"Let's go."
Watching the silver-haired emperor turn around and walk towards another fork in the passage, the white back came into his eyes, Yi Yan felt the content of the dream surge out instantly, rushing towards him, grabbing the person in front of him.
"God, do you have...!"
The back view just now seemed to be withdrawn from the dream, he couldn't think of further confirmation on his own, and when he was in a state of confusion, he pulled off the other party's clothes, but suddenly stopped moving. After being shocked, the burning anger quickly spread in his eyes.
This almost fueling action made Cang Lan stagnate, the impulse he suppressed just now flashed through his silver eyes, and then subconsciously waved away Yi Yan.
Taking two steps back, Cang Lan followed the brown-haired man's line of sight to look at her lapel, then raised her hand to put on her clothes with a complicated expression, pursed her lips and said,
"This kind of behavior is very dangerous. I may not be able to refuse such a warm invitation."
Intentionally or unintentionally, the playful voice faded the aggression brought by desire.
"..."
But this time, Yi Yan just froze, and was not distracted, the look of shock and anger in his eyes remained unchanged, and he became even more anxious.
He opened his mouth to say something, but a series of sharp whistles suddenly sounded from the bottom of the passage!
"It's really incomprehensible."
Hearing this obvious warning signal, Cang Lan's smile turned cold, and the anger in her eyes was filled with anger, which disappeared in a blink of an eye, looking into the depths of the passage and thinking deeply.
Now Xingzuo is on alert, rushing out head-on will definitely escape death, but the movement sounds like it came from the lower level of the passage, it doesn't look like he found himself...
As he was thinking, the expression of Yan Yan beside him changed several times, and he said anxiously,
"It should be my guards, I'll lure them away..."
"No."
There is no need to think about it at all, Cang Lan cut it off without giving the other party a chance to speak again, and pulled him back to the other side of the passage.
With a struggle, Yi Yan swept to the wrist, his eyes moved slightly, and fixed on it again, but followed Cang Lan right after him.
In the strange silence, he hurried along the passage for a while, and the stench became heavier as he went forward, only then did Yi Yan realize that he had come to an open iron door.A tall stone pillar directly opposite the door is connected to the roof, and the lower end is covered with dark viscous liquid, and there is a little bit of cold light shining in the dark, which is actually clusters of dense sharp blades!
This is undoubtedly the torture chamber of the Xingzhong, and a strange image suddenly appeared in Yiyan's mind, as if he had seen the people tied to it were pulled by the iron chains that locked their hands and feet, and turned into bloody pieces of flesh...
He had a splitting headache, and scanned the rows of torture instruments in the room, only to see a few mutilated human figures hanging on the torture racks, their flesh turned out, and the white bones inside were shocking.
The animal-like intuition made Yiyan's hair stand on end, and he walked into the torture room on guard, only to realize that these fragmented figures were actually alive!It's just that the signs of these people's lives are extremely weak, if it weren't for his sharpness beyond ordinary people, it would be almost impossible to detect.
Cang Lan naturally knew the existence of these living dead, but he was more concerned about the noise approaching from behind, turning a blind eye to the "furnishings" that did not pose a threat in the room, and went straight through the various instruments of torture until he reached the one behind him. His breathing became disordered, and he turned around in surprise,
"Yiyan?"
"...you escaped from here?"
Averting his eyes from the hellish scene in front of him, Yi Yan became more and more uneasy, and couldn't help asking.
He could see clearly just now that the two iron rings were fastened on the silver-haired emperor's collarbone. Obviously, it has been difficult to remove after a long time. Bloodstains - he couldn't imagine what the sect master had done to this person, and what would happen to him if he couldn't escape.
"Ok?"
Seeing the worry in Yiyan's eyes, Cang Lan laughed muffledly, and answered the question in a non-essential way,
"You feel sorry for me?"
Knowing that the person in front of him intends to talk about him from left to right, Yi Yan's words still blurted out,
"I won't let anyone do this to you again."
It seemed that this newly formed idea had been buried deep in his heart for a long time. After Yi Yan finished speaking, he was startled by himself, but the feeling of extreme discomfort faded away. He walked to the front in a few steps and murmured,
"It's dark here, I... I'm more used to it than you..."
Cang Lan was startled for a moment, then smiled,
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."
Yi Yan responded with a grunt, and led the way dully, before turning to the empty stone room at the end.
There was nothing but the water prison in the middle. The top of the water prison was sealed off by a thick fence, and it was covered with mottled red, whether it was rust or blood, and even the water was scarlet and turbid.
Yi Yan instinctively repelled the ferocious color, and no matter how you look at this place, he could not help but stop and look at Cang Lan.
Receiving Yi Yan's confusion, Cang Lan took two steps forward, stretched out her hand to grab the iron rail above the water prison,
"The road below is not easy to walk, so be careful."
Before Yi Yan had time to consider the rare solemnity in his tone, the heavy iron railing was lifted up with the sound of the "clack" machine spring.
With a loud bang, a stone door fell heavily at the only entrance, embedded in the groove of the door, completely blocking the future road!
In an instant, the stone chamber seemed to come alive, the gate above opened suddenly, and the turbulent water flowed in with a bang, like thunder!
The sound shook the stone wall and spread far in the passage, and everyone who heard it changed their colors in horror.
The sound also spread to the exquisite stone room above the passage, a black figure stopped his movements when he heard the sound, looked outside for a moment, then looked back again, looking anxiously at the stone room.
On the stone pillars and blankets, the bloodstains that had dried up repeatedly formed large and shallow patches, and the ends of the blood-stained iron chains were empty. It was obvious that something had been locked before...
Seeing this, Soi Ying clenched the hilt of his sword tightly, and his whole body seemed to have turned into a sharp blade, overflowing with murderous aura.
This black shadow is Xing Ye.
He led the White Wolf King to track him down for a few days without sleep, and finally found Xingzhong's old lair. After he sent back the news, he didn't wait for Shen Haozhe to lead the troops to come. to the inside.
Unexpectedly, when he rushed to the room where he was forced to question, there was only a woman in scantily-clothed clothes!
The woman on the ground had disheveled hair, her hands and feet were tightly bound by clothes, and she had exquisite curves. In contrast, her face was full of hatred and madness, and there was only a horrible blood hole where the nose should be.
Xing Ye remembered this face, to be precise, he remembered these eyes, the enchanting woman who belonged to the head of the Xingzhong Sect.Recognizing the identity of the other party's Xingtomb Sect Master, he was a little relieved when he hated it.
The master of the Xingzhong sect fell to such a fate, the master must have managed to escape.
He has come to a conclusion in his mind, but Xing Ye can be sure that Cang Lan was still here not long ago, because in addition to the thick aphrodisiac incense in the stone room, the lewd aura after intercourse between men and women has not dissipated...
Suppressing the anger that cut the woman off with a sword, he stepped forward and tore off the leash from the mouth of the Xingzhong gate master,
"Where is the Lord? What was that voice just now?"
Amidst the roar, Cang Lan seemed to hear someone calling her, and for a moment, she was enveloped by a jet of water, at this moment, a big hand stretched out,
"God!"
Being hugged by the brown-haired man, and pulling out the water curtain nervously, Cang Lan said in a slow voice, a little bit dumbfounded,
"Don't worry, I can't rush to me. The gate below will at least be filled with water in the house, or someone will open the stone gate from the outside."
"..."
Also realizing that he was too flustered, Yi Yan let go of his hand in embarrassment, paused, and then looked solemnly at the water prison in the center of the stone room,
"...are we going out from here?"
No wonder he hesitated, as the water prison was filled, the dirty black and red inside overflowed, and the smell of blood was pungent.
Shang Yue smelled something unusual.
He hasn't been promoted for many years, and he is the right chancellor of the capital. He is already an extremely human minister, so where can he be promoted?
So when the title of 'Prince of Protecting the Nation' came down, Shang Yue himself couldn't tell whether it was a surprise or a fright.
You must know that the power of the merchants in Jingguo is deeply intertwined, not to mention that it is impossible to move the slightest bit, even if there is such a means to wipe out the merchants, Jingguo will be hurt.He didn't believe that the kid who was promoted by the merchant would dare to use his own knife. A puppet king is better than a subjugated king!
With such a conclusion, Shang Yue received the decree, and then went to the Khan Palace to thank her with peace of mind.
He never expected that this trip would be the gate of hell.
Shang Yue directly confessed on the steps in front of the Khan Palace, and didn't even see the puppet king who was full of contempt.
In the main hall a few feet away, Jing Guo civil and military stands full of wooden posts, and there are many businessmen's confidantes among them, but facing layers of soldiers, these people dare not breathe. Seeing Shang Yue's "regicide" Sin is divided outside, this is only the third day of the new king's accession to the throne!
How will the new king deal with the merchant's huge property next?How to deal with the army controlled by merchants?
They were still shocked by this sudden change, news came one after another that the former general Shang Zhong fell off his horse and died!
Of course, Qingling will not be surprised. Mi Ke's assassination of Shang Zhong and the use of the guards of the country to attack the merchants are all arranged early in the morning. What he has to do is to trap the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty in the palace at this time until the dust settles Certainly.
He just sat on the high platform like that, calmly holding the chance of winning, and even calmed down all the officials.
Probably no one would have guessed that Qingling is actually sitting on pins and needles, he has a very bad premonition, but all the hidden power has been used to seal the Khan Palace, so he can only sit here and wait!
The water level rose very quickly, and the small stone chamber was completely submerged in the water in a short while.
But at this time, there was no one in the stone room, only the huge iron bars stuck on the iron gate of the water inlet.
Taking advantage of the buoyancy in the water, the two of them worked together to clamp the iron bars up. Yi Yan thought he would get out from the water injection port, but he didn't want to exit to the water prison below.
The stagnant water at the bottom became much clearer after being hit by a torrent, and he could barely see a few feet in front of him.
Hitting a dozen or so corpses floating inside, Yi Yan quickly understood the reason why the water was so turbid. Looking carefully, there were a few people from the Xingzhong sect mixed in, and their clothes were the same as Cang Lan's. After being killed, the body sank in the water, no wonder no one stopped him all the way.
It's just that the front is pitch black, and you can't see the end at all.
Yiyan's water quality was not good, and just when he was about to lose track of his direction, the muffled sound of "smacking" came from the stone wall, and a gap of light appeared in front of him.
It seems that the timing is just right, because the stone chamber above is full.
As soon as this thought flashed through, Yi Yan turned his head to look at Cang Lan with relief, almost at the same time, there was a sound of brushing on the stone wall, and more than a dozen cold lights broke through the water and shot towards him!
Have an agency? !
How could he match his usual skill in the water, Yi Yan's heart sank, and he was about to adjust his body to protect the people around him, but he felt a push from the hand on his waist, and the force made him move towards the exit involuntarily go!
"晅...!"
Immediately reacting, Yiyan opened his mouth reflexively, but poured in a mouthful of water. He hurriedly shut up, and when he gritted his teeth and turned around, a figure slammed into the gate, leading him out!
"Yiyan! How are you?"
Taking advantage of the narrow space behind the gate, Cang Lan lifted Yi Yan out of the water, helped her to spit out the choked water, but she was grabbed by the man without getting an answer.He came to his senses, then let the other party grope on his body, rubbed his chin against Yi Yan's ear, and smiled softly,
"You are taking advantage of me."
"I'm not……"
The magnetic voice penetrated into his ears, and Yi Yan felt at ease, just about to let go, when he touched the arrow handle that was inserted halfway into Cang Lan's body, his complexion changed drastically again,
"On your back...!"
"Don't worry, the arrow from the spring is very short and not as deep as it looks."
Cang Lan stroked Yi Yan's brown hair reassuringly, now is not the time to let Yi Yan 'take advantage', let alone pay attention to the arrow wound - even if it is not in a vital point, the barb pierced is not so easy to get out .He glanced at the gate where the two came out, diverted his attention,
"It seems that someone guessed that we escaped from here and activated the mechanism. We have to lock this place."
The water injection port in the stone chamber was stuck and could no longer be closed. The consequence of locking the gate was not just as simple as blocking the pursuers.
Cang Lan didn't say this, and Yi Yan didn't seem to expect it at all.
So when Xing Ye heard the sound, he came out of the gorgeous cell, and what he saw was the surging current below the passage, which was surging, enough to blow Xingzhong's lair to pieces!
After Cang Lan got stuck on the locked gate, she walked along the waterway for a while and then branched off. On one side was the drain leading to the cliff, and on the other side was the 'forbidden area' that the gatekeeper of the Xingtomb said.
This 'forbidden place' was built on the mountain wall behind Xingzhong's lair, and only the emergency escape tunnel was connected to the front mountain.
Passing by one after another cage-like stone chambers, the strong and pungent incense permeates the air. There are people in almost every stone chamber, ranging from one person to three or five people. Among them is a beautiful young man who once accompanied the door master.
However, these people had their ankles chained, their clothes were messy, their eyes were clouded, they didn't respond to the two people passing by, and they were extremely depressed.
Seeing this scene, even if it was the first time for Yi Yan to set foot there, he understood what this 'forbidden place' was. The previous scene of Cang Lan being imprisoned overlapped with it. He was sure of the sect master's plan in his heart, and the anger on his face deepened.
Unaware of the strangeness of the people around her, Cang Lan quickened her pace and walked through the long aisle in one breath, then slowed down uncontrollably.
This incense is mixed with something similar to drugs, even if the effect is not violent, it is not ineffective for him, especially if he stays in it day and night recently...
Cang Lan frowned, tried her best to get rid of the dazed state, and looked forward.In the bright light, a suspension bridge connects to the outside of the passage,
"We're almost at the exit, there may be guards ahead..."
Just as he was about to tell Yi Yan to rush out together, he stopped abruptly.
Someone is approaching!One, two... ten!
Yi Yan glanced at Cang Lan, and quickly jumped ahead.
Exclamations and screams continued, and the people outside were obviously caught off guard. After a face-to-face meeting, four or five people were thrown out of the bridge. The rest fled, and one fell to the ground.
But in the direction they retreated, on the top of the mountain on the other side of the suspension bridge, there were no less than a hundred people standing densely with bows and arrows!
Whether it is descending from the other side of the mountain, or taking the plank road winding down the steep mountain wall, it is the only way for the two of them.
Yi Yan didn't pursue any more, grabbed the weapon he had seized during the fight, and cautiously turned back to block Cang Lan.
He has experienced many times of battles where the enemy is outnumbered, and he has never been afraid of it, but... coming out of the dark tunnel, he saw the abnormal paleness of the silver-haired emperor, and the fear in his heart was lingering.
Cang Lan knew that she must look terrible, with wet clothes sticking to her body, and with the loss of body temperature, her body seemed to be overdrawn to the point of losing consciousness, cold and stiff.
But fortunately, things are not very different from what I expected. The suspension bridge here is narrow, and the advantage of the number of people cannot be fully utilized.
Except for someone whose appearance exceeded his expectations, who fell to the ground in the chaos just now...
Cang Lan looked at the young man somewhat similar to Shen Haozhe with a strange expression.
This person also stared at him for a moment, who else was it not Shen Haojin who had been missing for a long time?
The two looked at each other, but they didn't open their mouths yet, they only heard someone on the opposite mountain top lose their voice,
"Emperor! How did you come out of here!? Who is the person in the secret passage below?"
"under?"
Cang Lan raised her eyes when she heard the words, and found the one-eyed man who was speaking in front of the enemy. If she realized something, she said mockingly,
"It's really lively here, Zetar? Or Zeltah? Are you happy working with Xingzuo's Sangjiagou?"
"My name is Zematar! You will remember this name!"
I don't know if it was the sore spot that was said, or the old injury relapsed, the scar on Zematar's eye socket twitched, and the remaining one eye turned sullenly, locking onto Yiyan,
"You are with him, it seems that you remembered?"
remember what?Is it the same as I guessed?
Yi Yan, who had been paying attention to the conversation between the two, was shocked and almost blurted out the question, feeling that something was about to come out!
Zematar immediately caught this wavering, the temptation in his eyes turned into joy, and he smiled sinisterly,
"He doesn't remember, haha, Your Majesty, the medicine we dispensed is really incomprehensible! He will never think of you! Sad..."
He didn't have a chance to finish his proud counterattack, a white shadow rushed towards the ground, a few feet away in a flash!
Zematar couldn't believe it so fast, is this really the emperor who looks in a mess? !
The other party's cold silver eyes were like solid ice, and Zematar seemed to feel the sting of being torn apart. He soon realized that the pain was real, and a blade had already sunk into his body!
"Destroy the drawbridge! Archers shoot their arrows!"
"Let's rush over, don't let him deploy archers!"
The two beeps sounded almost at the same time!
Zematar retreated sharply, while Cang Lan took advantage of the victory to pursue!
In fact, there is no need for Cang Lan to speak, Yi Yan has already followed closely, the person on the opposite side is in a panic, just cut off a rope, the two of them bumped into each other!
After a few surprise attacks, Cang Lan was no longer busy breaking through the siege, and she and Yi Yan took care of each other and stood guard at the bridge, taking advantage of the terrain to kill the enemy.
I don't know how long it took, the limited ground was full of corpses lying here and there, and the rest of the people began to find that they could neither surround the two nor use their bows and arrows in the scuffle.
Seeing this, Zematar, who was waiting for an opportunity, knew something was wrong. He didn't care about touching the wound, so he showed his weapon and shouted,
"Kill them! There are only two of them! In fact, they are just the end of their strength!"
What he said was true, at least Cang Lan didn't seem to be having an easy time, and after several rounds of siege, it was still unclear who would win the battle.
It's just that Zematar is not the one who is going all out. Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and in the end they were frightened by Zematar's remaining prestige, and rushed forward again. Yiyan's tall figure was forced back a few steps for a while.
Cang Lan's eyes turned cold, and at this moment, a person on the top of the mountain said sharply,
"Take them down! Don't let any one go!"
Pausing for a moment, he spoke to Cang Lan in an extremely unkind tone,
"Your Majesty! I am late to save you!"
Hearing this angry voice, Cang Lan's eyes flickered with a smile, and the feeling of exhaustion gradually spread throughout his body. While he breathed a sigh of relief, he felt a sharp pain in his back!
Is it really pain to feel relieved?
wrong……
Seeing Yi Yan's expression freeze suddenly, Cang Lan smiled wryly, confirming that the arrow on her back went a little deeper.
He turned around, and the arrow with the shredded flesh came out of his body. The man holding the arrow was covered in blood, his eyes of hatred appeared a little panic under his gaze, and the man backed involuntarily.
Shen Haojin, originally thought that Shen Haojin was taken captive, but now it seems that it may not be... I was too careless...
Cang Lan turned her head and didn't want to pay attention to Shen Haojin at all. At this last moment, he just wanted to take another look at those blue eyes,
"It's a good thing you didn't remember..."
Is it the last?
He is obviously not a person who cherishes his life, and he is afraid of death after playing with his body for several years.
Laughing at herself, blood dripped from the corner of her mouth, Cang Lan staggered, and retreated unsteadily to the suspension bridge.
The wooden board under his feet sank, and the remaining ropes could not bear the weight of the two people, and they scattered downwards.
The world in the field of vision was turned upside down, as if time had slowed down, and everything was extremely clear.
Shen Haozhe rode his horse straight towards this side, the blue sky behind him was the color he was familiar with, and what connected to the blue sky turned out to be a field of poppies. The golden capital city is faintly flickering...
The vivid image slows down, freezes, and returns to darkness.
The other secret road that Xing Ye walked was obviously specially designed for foreign enemies. He touched countless traps along the way. If he hadn't been used as a prisoner for many years and knew about these things, he might not be able to get out alive.
But when he stepped on the plank road, the silver-haired figure above him came into his eyes from a distance, and all this was left behind.
Shen Haozhe almost threw himself down the mountain, when he was riding his horse, a black shadow appeared on the plank road below, and several of them threw themselves to catch Cang Lan, then sank, and rolled dangerously onto the plank road below.
Recognizing the person who rescued Cang Lan, Shen Haozhe didn't feel any easier, because Xing Ye turned over, raised his hand to brush Cang Lan's face, and then didn't move anymore.
Xing Ye stared blankly at Cang Lan, as if he didn't dare to recognize her.
How could this dilapidated and lifeless figure be that dazzling person?
Not breathing, not even temperature...
Xing Ye pursed his lips tightly, but there was a voice in his heart screaming hoarsely, which made him tremble uncontrollably!
"His Highness Lan..."
The sound seemed to come from above the drawbridge again,
"His Highness Lan!!"
It wasn't until the people above jumped off the suspension bridge that he got up abruptly as if awakened, and backed away with Cang Lan on his back!
Seeing Yiyan desperately jumping off the plank road to chase Xing Ye, the two of them were about to disappear at the end of the plank road, Shen Haozhe felt that the hope in his heart was also dissipating little by little, but he never accepted that this feeling was the result,
"Punishment Guard! Where are you going!? Leave Your Majesty behind!"
Xing Ye didn't seem to hear Shen Haozhe's shout, he destroyed the plank road passing by with his strength, Fang turned around and looked at Yi Yan,
"I will not hand over the Lord to any of you!"
His voice was very low, although he was answering Shen Haozhe, but he looked straight at Yiyan, his eyes were so deep that he couldn't see to the bottom, like condensed black iron, he looked at Yiyan who was out of control, and he could see himself from the other person,
"If it weren't for you, how could the Lord have become like this!"
Xing Ye's words are like a sword!
He was blaming Yan Yan, so he was blaming himself!
Yi Yan stopped, not because of Xing Ye's words, but because every step he took, those deeply buried memories were sprouting and recovering.
He said, "From today onwards, your name is Yi Yan."
He said, "There is probably no one more stupid than you in the world."
"You must come back alive," he said.
He said, "As long as you live well, it doesn't matter who you forget."
His mind was full of fragments that could melt him from the heart, but why was he unable to breathe as if he was being strangled?
He said, "It's a good thing you didn't remember..."
At the end of the spring of the sixth year of Jing'an, He Lianyuya, the right minister of the state of Jing, led his army to Beiling, passing through the state of Jing, and detoured through Wangcheng to congratulate King Jing on his enthronement.In the same month of the same year, the king of Jing cleared the government and the opposition, beheaded more than a hundred merchants and the whole family, and took back the military power.The bank run of merchants has affected nearly half of the merchants in Jingguo.The following month, Shang Zhong's Zhili subordinates returned to Beijing to report on their duties, but they never led a single soldier.In the same month, Yu Donghai issued a loan as a deed to buy shares in most of the merchants in Jingguo.
Compared with the desolate streets, this kind of situation is already eye-catching, attracting the sparse passers-by to look sideways, and there is no shortage of suspicious and jealous eyes.
"The merchant's business is getting bigger and bigger, and every day is very prosperous."
A middle-aged businessman dressed as a middle-aged man passed by, stopped to take a second look, and then muttered something in a low voice.
"They have just helped the new king to the throne. I said, master, do the math, will the state of Jing be named Shang in the future..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Isn't the prince suffering enough this time?!"
When the middle-aged man heard this, he hurriedly interrupted the big man, and was about to reprimand him, when his expression changed drastically, and he pulled the big man back to the side of the street.
As the sound of horseshoes approached quickly, a group of cavalry passed in front of the two of them. The leader was in black armor, and his eyes were calm and sharp like a falcon on his knife-like silhouette. Behind the shop, it was a little deeper, but he didn't stop for a while, and a group of cavalry disappeared at the corner of the street in a blink of an eye.
"Who is this person? He's so majestic!"
The burly man who was avoiding by the side stretched his neck at the cavalrymen who were leaving in Juechen, making a fuss and speechless.The middle-aged man also stared in the same direction, and subconsciously replied,
"This is the great general of the Kingdom of Jun. It seems that Emperor Jun is supporting Niwang behind his back..."
When he said this, he realized that he had slipped his mouth, so he quickly swallowed the words, and hurriedly glanced left and right, ignoring the big man's questioning, shut up and left.
It's better not to mention the twists and turns behind these things!
This undisputable general is naturally Shen Haozhe.
King Jing came to the throne, and Shen Haozhe, who was close to the king's city, came very early. Although he was very worried and didn't want to leave this trip at all, he expressed the position of the entire country. .
"Your Majesty, General Shen, the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin, is here to congratulate you."
Because everything is simple, there are very few changes in the Khan Palace, and even Qingling himself is not much different from King Niwang, except that he wears a navy blue outer robe and crown, with flowing lake blue dark patterns on it, and the neckline is lined with furry velvet. White fur, simple yet luxurious.
He raised his hand to let Shen Haozhe take a seat, his eyes paused for a moment on the other person, the expectation in his eyes had turned into disappointment,
"Is there any news from General Shen?"
"King Lao Jing is concerned."
Shen Haozhe obviously didn't intend to go into details, he went straight to the topic after noticing that there was no one else around,
"The ministers have complied with His Majesty's arrangement and are ready to assist King Jing to accomplish affairs at any time."
Hearing Dai Canglan's thanks, the words were unfamiliar and different, Qing Ling's face changed, he understood that Shen Haozhe must be extremely reluctant to free up his hands to help himself at this time, but he also didn't want to be distracted ,
"He hasn't come back yet, how can I deal with the merchant with peace of mind."
"Your Majesty didn't tell Prince Jing?"
Taking a deep look at Qingling Yiyan, Shen Haozhe's complexion became a bit uglier,
"All the arrangements were launched when the eleventh prince died. Please King Jing not to disappoint His Majesty's kindness."
"If something happens to him, what's the use of this position...!"
Qingling choked, and then became anxious, Shen Haozhe stood up abruptly before he finished speaking, and shouted abruptly,
"What can happen to him?! Is it an accident that His Majesty became the co-lord of the world, the person who can hurt him..."
He stopped suddenly, clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice,
"I believe that His Majesty will be safe and sound, and he can save himself from danger every time."
The voice is firm and unquestionable, and I don't know if it's for convincing Qingling or myself.
He believed in Cang Lan, he had to believe in Cang Lan, this was his emperor, the one who reshaped the country, not even the blue-eyed general who came back from the dead could take him away!
It wasn't Cang Lan who asked, Yiyan almost forgot that he had a son, because it was the 'secret' of the door, of course they would not recognize each other, and the door owner rarely mentioned it, even the last time they met was so long ago that it was vaguely blurred clear.
So he realized that the silver-haired emperor didn't care much about this child, so he immediately put it aside.
In other words, Yi Yan didn't think about the child's spare time at all. Ever since he brought Cang Lan back against his will last time, he knew that he had been tampered with.
This is not uncommon in the door, but he can't help but feel disgusted, and the haunting nightmare every night makes him more and more restless.
The same shadowy figure always appeared in the dream.
This person seems to be in a dangerous situation. He desperately wants to protect him, but he can't move at all. He can only see a piece of redness branded on the figure's naked back, accompanied by the sound of scorching, and burnt blood coming out of the skin. The green smoke, the dark red hideous wound then penetrated deeply into the flesh and blood...
He yelled uncontrollably, the man's drooping head finally lifted up, and a smile opened at the corner of his mouth slightly,
"From today onwards, you will be called Yiyan... If you don't want to die as a nameless slave, then live for me."
Yes...he is Yiyan...he wants to live!For the person who gave him his name, he must go back alive!
Yi Yan struggled and woke up suddenly!
... Everything seems to be still in front of my eyes, only the figure in the dream can't remember the face.
Before the cold sweat on his body dried, a thought suddenly came to his mind, turned over and rushed out of the room.
"Guardian Yiyan, the sect master has ordered you not to..."
When the person assigned to watch at the door saw Yi Yan, he suddenly woke up and dozed off, and hurriedly stopped him, but he met the blue eyes of a trapped animal, and the rest of the words were lost.
Yi Yan didn't want to listen to the other party's nagging, so he directly punched the man unconscious, and quickly walked towards the stone room where Cang Lan was imprisoned.
He couldn't wait to get his guess confirmed from the silver-haired emperor, and he didn't want to delay any longer!
Xingzhong's most secretive lair was dug out from the inside of the mountain range. Yiyan twisted and turned in the long stone path and kept going up. In order to avoid the gatekeepers, he detoured several forks and finally arrived near the stone chamber.
He quickly thought about how to pass through the heavy guards in front, and he had already stepped lightly to prepare for the surprise attack.
However, when he turned carefully through the passage, he suddenly smelled a faint scent—very similar to the incense on the owner of the door, but mixed with a very different faint smell of rust!
Someone is nearby!
He didn't see the target, but the instinct of grinding against the enemy countless times made him feel the danger, so he raised his elbow and slammed into the mountain wall beside him!
However, the man's slightly cool palm had already twisted his neck one step ahead...
"...Yiyan?"
The palm on the side of the neck was useless, Yiyan also recognized the voice close to his ear, he stopped immediately, and rushed to the opponent's arms in a flurry of hands, the person reached out to catch it, lowering his voice Laughed,
"I thought you didn't miss me at all, did you play hard to get?"
"No...! I've been looking for opportunities..."
Yi Yan explained, and when he heard Cang Lan's muffled smile, not only did he not feel uncomfortable, but instead he fixed his eyes unconsciously, he really liked the smile in front of him.
"Really? I can't wait."
Seeing her blue eyes staring at her without blinking, the corners of Cang Lan's mouth raised half a point, and she intentionally leaned over to whisper in Yi Yan's ear.Feeling that the other party didn't dare to move, he stretched out his hand to support the man's chin, turned his head sideways, and the tip of his tongue brushed the slightly parted lips, protruding into his mouth to tease the softness inside, tossing and entangled.
The two of them fit together almost perfectly, no need to confirm with hands, Cang Lan is very familiar with the outline of the body in the arms, neck, collarbone, chest, waist and abdomen... The man's naked body trembled slightly, but he obediently opened his legs to accept his body. The scene then appeared in front of my eyes...
He jerked away, took a deep breath, and cursed in a hoarse voice before the masculine instinct of possessing Yiyan immediately overwhelmed his reason.
Obviously unable to keep up with Cang Lan's changes, it wasn't until the fingers lingering behind the ears were retracted that Yi Yan came back to his senses, suddenly at a loss,
"Emperor...?"
Cang Lan didn't answer, and backed away again, speaking still in a low hoarse voice,
"Let's go."
Watching the silver-haired emperor turn around and walk towards another fork in the passage, the white back came into his eyes, Yi Yan felt the content of the dream surge out instantly, rushing towards him, grabbing the person in front of him.
"God, do you have...!"
The back view just now seemed to be withdrawn from the dream, he couldn't think of further confirmation on his own, and when he was in a state of confusion, he pulled off the other party's clothes, but suddenly stopped moving. After being shocked, the burning anger quickly spread in his eyes.
This almost fueling action made Cang Lan stagnate, the impulse he suppressed just now flashed through his silver eyes, and then subconsciously waved away Yi Yan.
Taking two steps back, Cang Lan followed the brown-haired man's line of sight to look at her lapel, then raised her hand to put on her clothes with a complicated expression, pursed her lips and said,
"This kind of behavior is very dangerous. I may not be able to refuse such a warm invitation."
Intentionally or unintentionally, the playful voice faded the aggression brought by desire.
"..."
But this time, Yi Yan just froze, and was not distracted, the look of shock and anger in his eyes remained unchanged, and he became even more anxious.
He opened his mouth to say something, but a series of sharp whistles suddenly sounded from the bottom of the passage!
"It's really incomprehensible."
Hearing this obvious warning signal, Cang Lan's smile turned cold, and the anger in her eyes was filled with anger, which disappeared in a blink of an eye, looking into the depths of the passage and thinking deeply.
Now Xingzuo is on alert, rushing out head-on will definitely escape death, but the movement sounds like it came from the lower level of the passage, it doesn't look like he found himself...
As he was thinking, the expression of Yan Yan beside him changed several times, and he said anxiously,
"It should be my guards, I'll lure them away..."
"No."
There is no need to think about it at all, Cang Lan cut it off without giving the other party a chance to speak again, and pulled him back to the other side of the passage.
With a struggle, Yi Yan swept to the wrist, his eyes moved slightly, and fixed on it again, but followed Cang Lan right after him.
In the strange silence, he hurried along the passage for a while, and the stench became heavier as he went forward, only then did Yi Yan realize that he had come to an open iron door.A tall stone pillar directly opposite the door is connected to the roof, and the lower end is covered with dark viscous liquid, and there is a little bit of cold light shining in the dark, which is actually clusters of dense sharp blades!
This is undoubtedly the torture chamber of the Xingzhong, and a strange image suddenly appeared in Yiyan's mind, as if he had seen the people tied to it were pulled by the iron chains that locked their hands and feet, and turned into bloody pieces of flesh...
He had a splitting headache, and scanned the rows of torture instruments in the room, only to see a few mutilated human figures hanging on the torture racks, their flesh turned out, and the white bones inside were shocking.
The animal-like intuition made Yiyan's hair stand on end, and he walked into the torture room on guard, only to realize that these fragmented figures were actually alive!It's just that the signs of these people's lives are extremely weak, if it weren't for his sharpness beyond ordinary people, it would be almost impossible to detect.
Cang Lan naturally knew the existence of these living dead, but he was more concerned about the noise approaching from behind, turning a blind eye to the "furnishings" that did not pose a threat in the room, and went straight through the various instruments of torture until he reached the one behind him. His breathing became disordered, and he turned around in surprise,
"Yiyan?"
"...you escaped from here?"
Averting his eyes from the hellish scene in front of him, Yi Yan became more and more uneasy, and couldn't help asking.
He could see clearly just now that the two iron rings were fastened on the silver-haired emperor's collarbone. Obviously, it has been difficult to remove after a long time. Bloodstains - he couldn't imagine what the sect master had done to this person, and what would happen to him if he couldn't escape.
"Ok?"
Seeing the worry in Yiyan's eyes, Cang Lan laughed muffledly, and answered the question in a non-essential way,
"You feel sorry for me?"
Knowing that the person in front of him intends to talk about him from left to right, Yi Yan's words still blurted out,
"I won't let anyone do this to you again."
It seemed that this newly formed idea had been buried deep in his heart for a long time. After Yi Yan finished speaking, he was startled by himself, but the feeling of extreme discomfort faded away. He walked to the front in a few steps and murmured,
"It's dark here, I... I'm more used to it than you..."
Cang Lan was startled for a moment, then smiled,
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."
Yi Yan responded with a grunt, and led the way dully, before turning to the empty stone room at the end.
There was nothing but the water prison in the middle. The top of the water prison was sealed off by a thick fence, and it was covered with mottled red, whether it was rust or blood, and even the water was scarlet and turbid.
Yi Yan instinctively repelled the ferocious color, and no matter how you look at this place, he could not help but stop and look at Cang Lan.
Receiving Yi Yan's confusion, Cang Lan took two steps forward, stretched out her hand to grab the iron rail above the water prison,
"The road below is not easy to walk, so be careful."
Before Yi Yan had time to consider the rare solemnity in his tone, the heavy iron railing was lifted up with the sound of the "clack" machine spring.
With a loud bang, a stone door fell heavily at the only entrance, embedded in the groove of the door, completely blocking the future road!
In an instant, the stone chamber seemed to come alive, the gate above opened suddenly, and the turbulent water flowed in with a bang, like thunder!
The sound shook the stone wall and spread far in the passage, and everyone who heard it changed their colors in horror.
The sound also spread to the exquisite stone room above the passage, a black figure stopped his movements when he heard the sound, looked outside for a moment, then looked back again, looking anxiously at the stone room.
On the stone pillars and blankets, the bloodstains that had dried up repeatedly formed large and shallow patches, and the ends of the blood-stained iron chains were empty. It was obvious that something had been locked before...
Seeing this, Soi Ying clenched the hilt of his sword tightly, and his whole body seemed to have turned into a sharp blade, overflowing with murderous aura.
This black shadow is Xing Ye.
He led the White Wolf King to track him down for a few days without sleep, and finally found Xingzhong's old lair. After he sent back the news, he didn't wait for Shen Haozhe to lead the troops to come. to the inside.
Unexpectedly, when he rushed to the room where he was forced to question, there was only a woman in scantily-clothed clothes!
The woman on the ground had disheveled hair, her hands and feet were tightly bound by clothes, and she had exquisite curves. In contrast, her face was full of hatred and madness, and there was only a horrible blood hole where the nose should be.
Xing Ye remembered this face, to be precise, he remembered these eyes, the enchanting woman who belonged to the head of the Xingzhong Sect.Recognizing the identity of the other party's Xingtomb Sect Master, he was a little relieved when he hated it.
The master of the Xingzhong sect fell to such a fate, the master must have managed to escape.
He has come to a conclusion in his mind, but Xing Ye can be sure that Cang Lan was still here not long ago, because in addition to the thick aphrodisiac incense in the stone room, the lewd aura after intercourse between men and women has not dissipated...
Suppressing the anger that cut the woman off with a sword, he stepped forward and tore off the leash from the mouth of the Xingzhong gate master,
"Where is the Lord? What was that voice just now?"
Amidst the roar, Cang Lan seemed to hear someone calling her, and for a moment, she was enveloped by a jet of water, at this moment, a big hand stretched out,
"God!"
Being hugged by the brown-haired man, and pulling out the water curtain nervously, Cang Lan said in a slow voice, a little bit dumbfounded,
"Don't worry, I can't rush to me. The gate below will at least be filled with water in the house, or someone will open the stone gate from the outside."
"..."
Also realizing that he was too flustered, Yi Yan let go of his hand in embarrassment, paused, and then looked solemnly at the water prison in the center of the stone room,
"...are we going out from here?"
No wonder he hesitated, as the water prison was filled, the dirty black and red inside overflowed, and the smell of blood was pungent.
Shang Yue smelled something unusual.
He hasn't been promoted for many years, and he is the right chancellor of the capital. He is already an extremely human minister, so where can he be promoted?
So when the title of 'Prince of Protecting the Nation' came down, Shang Yue himself couldn't tell whether it was a surprise or a fright.
You must know that the power of the merchants in Jingguo is deeply intertwined, not to mention that it is impossible to move the slightest bit, even if there is such a means to wipe out the merchants, Jingguo will be hurt.He didn't believe that the kid who was promoted by the merchant would dare to use his own knife. A puppet king is better than a subjugated king!
With such a conclusion, Shang Yue received the decree, and then went to the Khan Palace to thank her with peace of mind.
He never expected that this trip would be the gate of hell.
Shang Yue directly confessed on the steps in front of the Khan Palace, and didn't even see the puppet king who was full of contempt.
In the main hall a few feet away, Jing Guo civil and military stands full of wooden posts, and there are many businessmen's confidantes among them, but facing layers of soldiers, these people dare not breathe. Seeing Shang Yue's "regicide" Sin is divided outside, this is only the third day of the new king's accession to the throne!
How will the new king deal with the merchant's huge property next?How to deal with the army controlled by merchants?
They were still shocked by this sudden change, news came one after another that the former general Shang Zhong fell off his horse and died!
Of course, Qingling will not be surprised. Mi Ke's assassination of Shang Zhong and the use of the guards of the country to attack the merchants are all arranged early in the morning. What he has to do is to trap the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty in the palace at this time until the dust settles Certainly.
He just sat on the high platform like that, calmly holding the chance of winning, and even calmed down all the officials.
Probably no one would have guessed that Qingling is actually sitting on pins and needles, he has a very bad premonition, but all the hidden power has been used to seal the Khan Palace, so he can only sit here and wait!
The water level rose very quickly, and the small stone chamber was completely submerged in the water in a short while.
But at this time, there was no one in the stone room, only the huge iron bars stuck on the iron gate of the water inlet.
Taking advantage of the buoyancy in the water, the two of them worked together to clamp the iron bars up. Yi Yan thought he would get out from the water injection port, but he didn't want to exit to the water prison below.
The stagnant water at the bottom became much clearer after being hit by a torrent, and he could barely see a few feet in front of him.
Hitting a dozen or so corpses floating inside, Yi Yan quickly understood the reason why the water was so turbid. Looking carefully, there were a few people from the Xingzhong sect mixed in, and their clothes were the same as Cang Lan's. After being killed, the body sank in the water, no wonder no one stopped him all the way.
It's just that the front is pitch black, and you can't see the end at all.
Yiyan's water quality was not good, and just when he was about to lose track of his direction, the muffled sound of "smacking" came from the stone wall, and a gap of light appeared in front of him.
It seems that the timing is just right, because the stone chamber above is full.
As soon as this thought flashed through, Yi Yan turned his head to look at Cang Lan with relief, almost at the same time, there was a sound of brushing on the stone wall, and more than a dozen cold lights broke through the water and shot towards him!
Have an agency? !
How could he match his usual skill in the water, Yi Yan's heart sank, and he was about to adjust his body to protect the people around him, but he felt a push from the hand on his waist, and the force made him move towards the exit involuntarily go!
"晅...!"
Immediately reacting, Yiyan opened his mouth reflexively, but poured in a mouthful of water. He hurriedly shut up, and when he gritted his teeth and turned around, a figure slammed into the gate, leading him out!
"Yiyan! How are you?"
Taking advantage of the narrow space behind the gate, Cang Lan lifted Yi Yan out of the water, helped her to spit out the choked water, but she was grabbed by the man without getting an answer.He came to his senses, then let the other party grope on his body, rubbed his chin against Yi Yan's ear, and smiled softly,
"You are taking advantage of me."
"I'm not……"
The magnetic voice penetrated into his ears, and Yi Yan felt at ease, just about to let go, when he touched the arrow handle that was inserted halfway into Cang Lan's body, his complexion changed drastically again,
"On your back...!"
"Don't worry, the arrow from the spring is very short and not as deep as it looks."
Cang Lan stroked Yi Yan's brown hair reassuringly, now is not the time to let Yi Yan 'take advantage', let alone pay attention to the arrow wound - even if it is not in a vital point, the barb pierced is not so easy to get out .He glanced at the gate where the two came out, diverted his attention,
"It seems that someone guessed that we escaped from here and activated the mechanism. We have to lock this place."
The water injection port in the stone chamber was stuck and could no longer be closed. The consequence of locking the gate was not just as simple as blocking the pursuers.
Cang Lan didn't say this, and Yi Yan didn't seem to expect it at all.
So when Xing Ye heard the sound, he came out of the gorgeous cell, and what he saw was the surging current below the passage, which was surging, enough to blow Xingzhong's lair to pieces!
After Cang Lan got stuck on the locked gate, she walked along the waterway for a while and then branched off. On one side was the drain leading to the cliff, and on the other side was the 'forbidden area' that the gatekeeper of the Xingtomb said.
This 'forbidden place' was built on the mountain wall behind Xingzhong's lair, and only the emergency escape tunnel was connected to the front mountain.
Passing by one after another cage-like stone chambers, the strong and pungent incense permeates the air. There are people in almost every stone chamber, ranging from one person to three or five people. Among them is a beautiful young man who once accompanied the door master.
However, these people had their ankles chained, their clothes were messy, their eyes were clouded, they didn't respond to the two people passing by, and they were extremely depressed.
Seeing this scene, even if it was the first time for Yi Yan to set foot there, he understood what this 'forbidden place' was. The previous scene of Cang Lan being imprisoned overlapped with it. He was sure of the sect master's plan in his heart, and the anger on his face deepened.
Unaware of the strangeness of the people around her, Cang Lan quickened her pace and walked through the long aisle in one breath, then slowed down uncontrollably.
This incense is mixed with something similar to drugs, even if the effect is not violent, it is not ineffective for him, especially if he stays in it day and night recently...
Cang Lan frowned, tried her best to get rid of the dazed state, and looked forward.In the bright light, a suspension bridge connects to the outside of the passage,
"We're almost at the exit, there may be guards ahead..."
Just as he was about to tell Yi Yan to rush out together, he stopped abruptly.
Someone is approaching!One, two... ten!
Yi Yan glanced at Cang Lan, and quickly jumped ahead.
Exclamations and screams continued, and the people outside were obviously caught off guard. After a face-to-face meeting, four or five people were thrown out of the bridge. The rest fled, and one fell to the ground.
But in the direction they retreated, on the top of the mountain on the other side of the suspension bridge, there were no less than a hundred people standing densely with bows and arrows!
Whether it is descending from the other side of the mountain, or taking the plank road winding down the steep mountain wall, it is the only way for the two of them.
Yi Yan didn't pursue any more, grabbed the weapon he had seized during the fight, and cautiously turned back to block Cang Lan.
He has experienced many times of battles where the enemy is outnumbered, and he has never been afraid of it, but... coming out of the dark tunnel, he saw the abnormal paleness of the silver-haired emperor, and the fear in his heart was lingering.
Cang Lan knew that she must look terrible, with wet clothes sticking to her body, and with the loss of body temperature, her body seemed to be overdrawn to the point of losing consciousness, cold and stiff.
But fortunately, things are not very different from what I expected. The suspension bridge here is narrow, and the advantage of the number of people cannot be fully utilized.
Except for someone whose appearance exceeded his expectations, who fell to the ground in the chaos just now...
Cang Lan looked at the young man somewhat similar to Shen Haozhe with a strange expression.
This person also stared at him for a moment, who else was it not Shen Haojin who had been missing for a long time?
The two looked at each other, but they didn't open their mouths yet, they only heard someone on the opposite mountain top lose their voice,
"Emperor! How did you come out of here!? Who is the person in the secret passage below?"
"under?"
Cang Lan raised her eyes when she heard the words, and found the one-eyed man who was speaking in front of the enemy. If she realized something, she said mockingly,
"It's really lively here, Zetar? Or Zeltah? Are you happy working with Xingzuo's Sangjiagou?"
"My name is Zematar! You will remember this name!"
I don't know if it was the sore spot that was said, or the old injury relapsed, the scar on Zematar's eye socket twitched, and the remaining one eye turned sullenly, locking onto Yiyan,
"You are with him, it seems that you remembered?"
remember what?Is it the same as I guessed?
Yi Yan, who had been paying attention to the conversation between the two, was shocked and almost blurted out the question, feeling that something was about to come out!
Zematar immediately caught this wavering, the temptation in his eyes turned into joy, and he smiled sinisterly,
"He doesn't remember, haha, Your Majesty, the medicine we dispensed is really incomprehensible! He will never think of you! Sad..."
He didn't have a chance to finish his proud counterattack, a white shadow rushed towards the ground, a few feet away in a flash!
Zematar couldn't believe it so fast, is this really the emperor who looks in a mess? !
The other party's cold silver eyes were like solid ice, and Zematar seemed to feel the sting of being torn apart. He soon realized that the pain was real, and a blade had already sunk into his body!
"Destroy the drawbridge! Archers shoot their arrows!"
"Let's rush over, don't let him deploy archers!"
The two beeps sounded almost at the same time!
Zematar retreated sharply, while Cang Lan took advantage of the victory to pursue!
In fact, there is no need for Cang Lan to speak, Yi Yan has already followed closely, the person on the opposite side is in a panic, just cut off a rope, the two of them bumped into each other!
After a few surprise attacks, Cang Lan was no longer busy breaking through the siege, and she and Yi Yan took care of each other and stood guard at the bridge, taking advantage of the terrain to kill the enemy.
I don't know how long it took, the limited ground was full of corpses lying here and there, and the rest of the people began to find that they could neither surround the two nor use their bows and arrows in the scuffle.
Seeing this, Zematar, who was waiting for an opportunity, knew something was wrong. He didn't care about touching the wound, so he showed his weapon and shouted,
"Kill them! There are only two of them! In fact, they are just the end of their strength!"
What he said was true, at least Cang Lan didn't seem to be having an easy time, and after several rounds of siege, it was still unclear who would win the battle.
It's just that Zematar is not the one who is going all out. Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and in the end they were frightened by Zematar's remaining prestige, and rushed forward again. Yiyan's tall figure was forced back a few steps for a while.
Cang Lan's eyes turned cold, and at this moment, a person on the top of the mountain said sharply,
"Take them down! Don't let any one go!"
Pausing for a moment, he spoke to Cang Lan in an extremely unkind tone,
"Your Majesty! I am late to save you!"
Hearing this angry voice, Cang Lan's eyes flickered with a smile, and the feeling of exhaustion gradually spread throughout his body. While he breathed a sigh of relief, he felt a sharp pain in his back!
Is it really pain to feel relieved?
wrong……
Seeing Yi Yan's expression freeze suddenly, Cang Lan smiled wryly, confirming that the arrow on her back went a little deeper.
He turned around, and the arrow with the shredded flesh came out of his body. The man holding the arrow was covered in blood, his eyes of hatred appeared a little panic under his gaze, and the man backed involuntarily.
Shen Haojin, originally thought that Shen Haojin was taken captive, but now it seems that it may not be... I was too careless...
Cang Lan turned her head and didn't want to pay attention to Shen Haojin at all. At this last moment, he just wanted to take another look at those blue eyes,
"It's a good thing you didn't remember..."
Is it the last?
He is obviously not a person who cherishes his life, and he is afraid of death after playing with his body for several years.
Laughing at herself, blood dripped from the corner of her mouth, Cang Lan staggered, and retreated unsteadily to the suspension bridge.
The wooden board under his feet sank, and the remaining ropes could not bear the weight of the two people, and they scattered downwards.
The world in the field of vision was turned upside down, as if time had slowed down, and everything was extremely clear.
Shen Haozhe rode his horse straight towards this side, the blue sky behind him was the color he was familiar with, and what connected to the blue sky turned out to be a field of poppies. The golden capital city is faintly flickering...
The vivid image slows down, freezes, and returns to darkness.
The other secret road that Xing Ye walked was obviously specially designed for foreign enemies. He touched countless traps along the way. If he hadn't been used as a prisoner for many years and knew about these things, he might not be able to get out alive.
But when he stepped on the plank road, the silver-haired figure above him came into his eyes from a distance, and all this was left behind.
Shen Haozhe almost threw himself down the mountain, when he was riding his horse, a black shadow appeared on the plank road below, and several of them threw themselves to catch Cang Lan, then sank, and rolled dangerously onto the plank road below.
Recognizing the person who rescued Cang Lan, Shen Haozhe didn't feel any easier, because Xing Ye turned over, raised his hand to brush Cang Lan's face, and then didn't move anymore.
Xing Ye stared blankly at Cang Lan, as if he didn't dare to recognize her.
How could this dilapidated and lifeless figure be that dazzling person?
Not breathing, not even temperature...
Xing Ye pursed his lips tightly, but there was a voice in his heart screaming hoarsely, which made him tremble uncontrollably!
"His Highness Lan..."
The sound seemed to come from above the drawbridge again,
"His Highness Lan!!"
It wasn't until the people above jumped off the suspension bridge that he got up abruptly as if awakened, and backed away with Cang Lan on his back!
Seeing Yiyan desperately jumping off the plank road to chase Xing Ye, the two of them were about to disappear at the end of the plank road, Shen Haozhe felt that the hope in his heart was also dissipating little by little, but he never accepted that this feeling was the result,
"Punishment Guard! Where are you going!? Leave Your Majesty behind!"
Xing Ye didn't seem to hear Shen Haozhe's shout, he destroyed the plank road passing by with his strength, Fang turned around and looked at Yi Yan,
"I will not hand over the Lord to any of you!"
His voice was very low, although he was answering Shen Haozhe, but he looked straight at Yiyan, his eyes were so deep that he couldn't see to the bottom, like condensed black iron, he looked at Yiyan who was out of control, and he could see himself from the other person,
"If it weren't for you, how could the Lord have become like this!"
Xing Ye's words are like a sword!
He was blaming Yan Yan, so he was blaming himself!
Yi Yan stopped, not because of Xing Ye's words, but because every step he took, those deeply buried memories were sprouting and recovering.
He said, "From today onwards, your name is Yi Yan."
He said, "There is probably no one more stupid than you in the world."
"You must come back alive," he said.
He said, "As long as you live well, it doesn't matter who you forget."
His mind was full of fragments that could melt him from the heart, but why was he unable to breathe as if he was being strangled?
He said, "It's a good thing you didn't remember..."
At the end of the spring of the sixth year of Jing'an, He Lianyuya, the right minister of the state of Jing, led his army to Beiling, passing through the state of Jing, and detoured through Wangcheng to congratulate King Jing on his enthronement.In the same month of the same year, the king of Jing cleared the government and the opposition, beheaded more than a hundred merchants and the whole family, and took back the military power.The bank run of merchants has affected nearly half of the merchants in Jingguo.The following month, Shang Zhong's Zhili subordinates returned to Beijing to report on their duties, but they never led a single soldier.In the same month, Yu Donghai issued a loan as a deed to buy shares in most of the merchants in Jingguo.
