she won't live to twenty

The cold ointment touched the red waist from the dagger, and a burst of coolness spread on the skin and spread to all parts of the body, even resisting the dryness of summer.

The sun shone on Wuming's back from outside the cave, and it was warm.

Wuming snorted contentedly, and relaxed his body even more, but after the ointment was applied, the little girl behind him became silent.Wuming turned his head suspiciously, and saw Nanyue pulling the dagger out of its sheath.

Nanyue carefully held the dagger, cut a handkerchief into long cloth, and carefully wrapped it around the handle of the dagger.

Wuming couldn't help chuckling, if someone in the court knew that Nanyue cut a handkerchief with this dagger and wrapped the most precious dagger handle, I wonder if she would be so angry that she vomited blood.However, if those people knew that the dagger was on Wuming's body, they would have been pissed off.

Nanyue wrapped the dagger well and rubbed it on her wrist to make sure that Wuming's skin would not turn red again, before hanging the dagger back on Wuming's waist again.

Nanyue looked up, only to finally realize that at this time Wuming was propping her head with her hands, half sitting up and looking at her with a light smile.

Nanyue's eyes swept away, and she had a panoramic view of the two flowers on the other side of the pure white snowfield, her cheeks instantly turned red.Nanyue turned her head in a panic, picked up the cloak to cover Wuming's body, and casually picked up a topic: "Wuming, that dagger..."

"That's what the master gave me." Wuming explained with a chuckle, letting the cloak slip down around his waist, but he didn't intend to reach out to pick it up.

Nanyue restrained her gaze to that side, and weakly wanted to reach out her hand, but she was afraid of touching something she shouldn't, so she had to lower her head and say nothing.

Although it's not that I haven't seen it before, but now in the narrow cliff cave, the sun is so bright, I always feel weird.

Nanyue was about to stay away, but Wuming grabbed her wrist.

"We only started to take action tonight. Now get a good night's sleep and recharge your spirits." As he spoke, Wuming's fingers silently slid across Nanyue's belt and gently untied it.

Nanyue turned her head to look at Wuming's most serious expression, and finally let her clothes slip off, and slipped into Wuming's arms.

Fall asleep in the warm summer sun.

……

After Tang Chiyu and Si Lian left the cave, they found the two horses they had hidden in the forest yesterday, and rode side by side.

Silent all the way.

In the evening, the two had reached the depths of Jishan Mountain. The evening light shone through the gaps in the trees, and the whole mountain was terribly quiet, making people feel lonely unconsciously.

Tang Chiyu subconsciously glanced to the side, meeting Si Lian's eyes.

Si Lian kept looking at her, his eyes didn't have the feeling of a little girl obsessing over her lover, but was very gentle and soft.

Tang Chiyu immediately looked away.

There is only the sound of horseshoes in the forest.

After a while, Tang Chiyu suddenly said: "Why have you been following me? Why did you save me?"

Tang Chiyu's voice was very low, without looking at Si Lian, it seemed more like he was talking to himself.

Si Lian said softly: "I said before leaving Beijing that I like you, Your Highness, so I want to follow you and protect you. Is there any problem?"

Tang Chiyu didn't answer Si Lian's words, but asked sullenly, "But why... like me?"

"Because you are very good, Your Highness." Si Lian lightly waved his horsewhip, and moved closer to Tang Chiyu, "Your Highness, I told you briefly the night I returned to Beijing that I was raised by Master, you may not be able to imagine I realized what a dark life I have lived with my master since I was a child. Of course, Your Highness, I did not live a miserable life. I am just used to the law of the jungle, intrigues, and life and death. But Your Highness, you are different from everyone I have ever seen. You are like a ray of light in the dark, seeping into my heart little by little, hooking me to want to get close to you."

"Slick tongue!" Tang Chiyu's voice suddenly increased, and she flicked the horsewhip vigorously, leaving Si Lian behind.

Si Lian smiled blankly, and said in a low voice, "I haven't finished yet..."

……

night.

Wuming and Nanyue left the cliff cave silently and sneaked into the backyard of the county office again.Wuming found the location of the organ and pushed it open without hesitation. Sure enough, a secret passage slowly appeared in front of him.

In the past two days, the martial arts of the Six-Eyed Cultist who came to deal with the Wuming people was no higher than the third rank, and the Six-Eyed Cult Master must have been around the second rank, at most no more than the first rank.Even among first-rank masters, the difference is huge. For example, Wuming can be ranked in the top five, but Si Lian is also first-rank, and probably can only be ranked at the bottom of the first-rank master list.

Furthermore, the Six-Eyed Sect should have relaxed its vigilance by now, so Wuming was not too worried about the ambush in the secret passage, and jumped in with Nanyue without hesitation.The organ was closed, and the secret passage was pitch black. Both of them could see in the dark, so they walked quietly through the secret passage without lighting the fire.

Different from the secret road of the Huang family in Kaiyang County, the secret road in Yanbei City is very long, with almost no end in sight, and strange mechanisms can be seen on the walls and ground from time to time.Although Wuming was not proficient in mechanisms, at least he learned a little bit from the second master at the beginning, and he knew a little bit about it, and Yanbei City's secret roads were very large, and the mechanisms were not very sophisticated, so they were all avoided by Wuming one by one.

Not long after walking, two forked roads appeared in front of me. No matter which way I looked, it was dark and dull, with no end in sight.Wuming raised his head and marked the top with his dagger, then walked to the left.

Then came the second and third forks.

Finally, when I didn't know how many fork roads I came to, some candle lights and figures finally appeared in front of me, and the whole secret road widened accordingly.

Several members of the Six Eyes Cult stood on both sides of the secret passage with weapons in hand, guarding something.

Wuming bowed her head and made a "shh" gesture to Nanyue. Nanyue nodded obediently, and buried her head in Wuming's arms with breathless concentration, without making a sound.Wuming swept up from the ground, clinging to the undulating boulder on the top of the wall, and swept deeper into this secret passage.

The black shadow flashed by, and no one found her trace.

Soon Wuming stopped, and his figure was hidden in the darkness.At the end of this secret passage was a huge cell with dozens of huge iron cages inside. A man and a woman were hung in the middle of the cage, struggling weakly.They haven't been changed into white sacrificial clothes yet, it seems that they have just been caught.

Nanyue heard the voice, stuck her head out of Wuming's arms, glanced curiously, and then looked up at Wuming.

The eyes of the two flickered, silently expressing the same meaning: not saved for the time being.

Tang Chiyu and Si Lian would bring the Weibei Army back to Yanbei in at most five days. Rescuing people in advance at this time would only cause complications.What's more, what if these two people are also willing to be sacrificed to Six Eyes?

Wuming nodded tacitly, and instead of saving people, he quickly left the prison and changed to another branch road that was also lit with candles.There are obviously more guards on this road than on the other road, and the expressions on the faces of the believers are much more serious, as if they are guarding something terrible.

Move forward without a name.

At the end of the secret passage is a small stone room, which can only accommodate two or three adults.There is a book in the center of the stone room, and there is only one book.Nameless propped his hands on the top of the secret passage, from top to bottom, he could see clearly the words written on the cover of the book.

——"The Great Qin Mountains and Rivers Map."

No wonder so many congregants were sent to guard.

Wuming sneered silently in his heart, he didn't expect that such a small leader of the Six Eyes Sect would also have the ambition to take over the Great Qin Dynasty, it's really ridiculous.

If this book is taken away, when will those believers find out?Would they have guessed that it was taken by an outsider?Will they be suspicious of each other, causing a burst of chaos in the church?

Would someone be in a panic and want to report to the leader, Wuming followed his steps secretly, and then found the location of the leader?

Wuming swept to the stone room, but did not immediately take the map of mountains and rivers, but stared silently for a while, turned and left without hesitation.

Wuming wandered around the secret passage for a while, silently made a lot of signs, and then returned to the office of the county government by the same route, and returned to the cliff cave.

"Wu Ming, why didn't you take that book away just now?" Nan Yue asked softly.

She understood the importance of the map of mountains and rivers, and when she passed the stone room, she also felt that Wuming clearly wanted to take the book away.

"Little Nanyue, don't you think that stone room is a bit like a trap?" Wuming asked softly.

Nanyue tilted her head and thought for a while, then said seriously, "It's a bit similar."

"So let's get familiar with the terrain of the secret road first, and then go into the trap another day." Wuming said softly.

After Nanyue fell asleep, Wuming dug out the dry food in their package, drooped her eyes and thought about something seriously, until the sky turned pale, and then she hugged Nanyue and fell asleep with her eyes closed.

……

"My lord, they didn't save people, and they didn't take away the map of mountains and rivers." In the smoky luxurious room, a believer knelt down and reported to the six-eyed leader.

The leader of Six Eyes took a puff of cigarette, not surprised at the news that Wuming was still alive, squinted his eyes and said, "It doesn't matter, they will be hooked sooner or later, tomorrow...or the day after tomorrow?"

"How did you find her figure?" Six Eyes leader asked.

"Master, I didn't see her, but I heard the sound of her toes touching the ground." Speaking of this, the subordinate thought of the appearance of the unknown people killing people, and trembled suddenly, "But my lord, we can really catch her!" live her?"

"The voice is exposed..." Six Eyes leader thought, "She can kill the third-rank archers under me, and her internal strength is above the third rank, but since you can hear her voice, it means that her internal strength is not strong enough, so it is right Lightness kungfu is not enough to control. Then it should be the peak of the third rank, or just the second rank. As long as there is no antidote, the cartilage powder I personally prepared, the inner strength of the second rank and the third rank can’t hold it. Ha, hahahahahahaha..."

The leader laughed wildly, and it took a while to recover, and took a deep breath of the cigarette.

"The mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind, the fake picture of mountains and rivers is the cicada, they are the mantis, and I am the oriole."

"However, there are not many second-rank masters in the Jianghu, let alone a princess in the court, it is really rare. Ha, it's a pity..."

The leader didn't continue, just shook his head with a strange smile, and repeated: "It's a pity, it's a pity."

He closed the book in his hand.

There are five characters written on the quaint cover - Daqin Mountains and Rivers Map.

……

On the second day, Wuming went to explore the secret path again and left some marks, but he still didn't go to get the map of mountains and rivers.

When roasting hares for dinner in the evening, Wuming selected two small pills from the medicine bottle that Second Master gave her, and stuffed them into the hare meat without leaving any traces.

"Nanyue, today we're going to get the map of mountains and rivers." Wuming took out the dry food from the package and handed it all to Nanyue, "You take these."

Nanyue took the dry food obediently, blinking her eyes in confusion.

"It's obviously a trap there. If we are caught, we can only live on dry food and wait for Xiaoqi and the others to save us." Wuming said with a smile, there was no panic on his face that he might be caught, "Nanyue, when the time comes Do you feel scared?"

"No..." Nanyue shook her head, "I believe in you."

"That's good." Wuming took her hand and said softly, "Let's go."

The praying mantis catches the cicada and the oriole follows, so they will be the cicada.

Wuming entered the secret passage for the third time, found the signs of each branch point familiarly, and quickly plundered towards the stone room where the map of mountains and rivers was placed.Before that, Wuming still took a look at the cell on the other side. The two sacrifices, a man and a woman, were still locked there, and there was no danger of their lives for the time being.

Wuming turned to go to the other side. Like the previous two days, the stone outside was heavily guarded.Nameless and soundless, it swept over, reached the center of the stone room, and grabbed the map of mountains and rivers.

The moment the book left the ground, there was a "click" sound from above the stone chamber.

Wuming subconsciously looked up.

There was a "crash" sound of the chain sliding on the pulley, followed by the terrifying sound of heavy metal objects falling to the ground.

Just looking at it, a huge iron fence was lowered in front of the stone room, locking the two of them inside the stone room.Immediately, some believers shouted "For Six Eyes" and rushed up tremblingly to lock the cell door.

Wuming narrowed his eyes slightly and held Nanyue in his arms.

Straight ahead, a man pointed an arrow at her.

Wuming didn't hide, or the stone room was so small that there was no possibility of hiding.The arrow brushed past her shoulder, bringing out a little bloodshot.Nanyue in her arms trembled violently, wanting to cover Wuming's wound, but Wuming held her tightly, preventing her from coming out of her arms.

Wuming's strength became weaker and weaker until his arm slid to his side, and his whole body fell to the ground as if losing all strength.

"Nameless!" Nanyue hugged her in a panic, covered her wound tightly, looked outside the iron fence, and turned around with Minghu behind her.However, for some unknown reason, after those believers imprisoned them, they never approached the stone room, but just guarded the secret passage more than ten meters away.

"It's okay." A nameless weak but still smiling voice came from behind, "It's just poisoned."

Nanyue's whole body was tense, staring at the outside, her teeth were trembling slightly.

Although she clearly discussed with Wuming before, she was really imprisoned here. After seeing Wuming being poisoned by an arrow, Nanyue was still terrified.

My heart was about to jump out, and every part of my body was shaking and in pain.The brain went blank, and there were bursts of dull pain in my mind.

"Nanyue." At this time, Wuming tugged at Nanyue's cuff weakly.

Nanyue turned her head abruptly, the corners of her eyes were already red.

The nameless finger brushed the corner of her eyes, and said softly: "You said it, you have to believe me."

Trust her.

Believe in the nameless.

Nanyue was startled, her pupils dilated for a moment, her body suddenly relaxed, and she nodded heavily: "...Mmm!"

"You hurt me." Wuming's lips curled up slightly, and his voice was weak.

Nanyue was stunned for a moment before realizing that her ring finger was a wound on her shoulder.Nanyue had been pressing her shoulders tightly just now, and then she suddenly let go, her pale cheeks were replaced by light red: "I... I'm sorry."

The wound was no longer bleeding, Wuming looked sideways weakly, and wanted to reach out to rub Nanyue's head, but his arms hung down feebly.

She smiled helplessly, and moved her eyes to the map of mountains and rivers on the ground.

Nan Yue immediately picked up the book and opened it in front of her.There is nothing in the book, it is a fake book.And there was a mechanism hidden in the place where the books were originally placed. The fence was lowered just now because the mechanism was triggered when the books were moved.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the secret passage in the distance, as if someone was coming from a distance.Nanyue immediately looked up, but the believer did not approach the stone room, but stopped a dozen meters away, and handed a large piece of black cloth to the believers next to him, and they hung up the black cloth together. Cloth, the light source was blocked in the stone room, and it immediately fell into darkness.

Nanyue blinked and quickly adapted to the darkness. She saw a hand protruding from outside the black cloth, and put a lit smoke into the corridor covered by the black cloth.Mixiang followed the corridor and evaporated into the stone chamber little by little.

"Nanyue, sit quietly and meditate, use your internal strength to force out the poisonous smoke, and stay awake." Wuming said in a breathy voice, "If someone comes later, just pretend that you don't have much strength."

Nanyue nodded immediately, then looked at her in a daze: "Wu Ming... what about you?"

"I was poisoned just now, and I can't use my internal energy." Wuming smiled weakly, "It's okay, just sleep and you'll be fine, trust me. Close your eyes and think about the Taiyin formula, if you are also poisoned ... But it's not easy."

Nanyue nodded vigorously, clenched Wuming's hand tightly, then closed her eyes and tried to recall the formula, mobilizing the true energy in her body to flow.

In the darkness, Wuming leaned against the wall, smiling silently and shaking his head.

……

After an unknown amount of time, footsteps sounded again in the secret passage, and the black cloth was finally lifted.

Nameless opened her eyes weakly, Nanyue opened her hands, her small body was in front of her.

Walking in were two men, an old man and a young man. The old man was wearing complicated and weird costumes, a three-layer luxurious long hat, and strange makeup on his face.The young man, dressed in ordinary congregation uniform, followed behind him respectfully.

Wuming only glanced at the young man, then moved his eyes away from him, turned to stare at the old man, and squinted his eyes: "The leader of the Six Eyes Sect?"

The old man exhaled lightly, raised his head contemptuously, and looked down at her.

"Your Highness, do you know that the mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind?" The old man smiled contemptuously, "Your Highness, do you think you can hide the old man by feigning death? It's just a trick. You wanted to take the map of mountains and rivers and let others The two girls secretly left here and went to the city to report to the officials? Unfortunately, because of your underestimation, both you and this little girl fell into our hands. And you fell into... the cartilage prepared by the old man himself It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity."

Wuming laughed softly: "Yes, I underestimated the enemy."

Nanyue's body trembled slightly, she knew that the underestimation in Wuming's mouth did not refer to being captured, but to being poisoned.

The old man continued to laugh and said, "So Your Royal Highness... what do you think the imperial court will do when they arrive here? Kill us regardless of your life, or just give up? Do you think that the princess of a foreign race will How much is life worth in the eyes of those in the court?"

Wuming slightly raised his eyelids, and looked at him with a weak smile: "You want to buy someone from the imperial court?"

"Yes." The old man said bluntly, "Originally, the old man thought that you would be such a noble son of the royal family, but I didn't expect that you were just a foreigner, and somehow I was lucky enough to be named princess. Your Highness, what do you think? ...How many people will the imperial court send to Yanbei in order to save a foreign princess? Are they sending a group of trash, or the elite Zhen Guojun? They may lose more than half of them on the way, and finally rush to Yanbei, and I teach them again There are not many people left from the massacre, do you think they will be bribed at that time?"

Wuming's face seemed to turn pale, she tilted her head slightly and said, "If it's the Weibei Army who came to clear Yanbei?"

One hundred Weibei iron cavalry is enough to level the entire Yanbei City, so what about thousands of Six Eyes disciples?Run over with horseshoes.People in the Central Plains may not know the horror of the Weibei Army, but the Six Eyes believers living in the north know it all too well.

That ghostly place in Weibei that is full of wind and sand... is not inhabited at all!After crossing Jishan Mountain, walking through Hebei Road, and then crossing the last mountain range, not to mention the surrounding environment, even the temperature is one sky and one underground.But the Weibei army not only survived in that horrible environment, but also held the pass, fighting those crazy barbarians and horse thieves, which shows how powerful they are.

The old man was stunned for a moment, and then burst into a burst of laughter: "Hahahahaha...Your Highness, you are too naive. The Weibei Army has always been stationed at the Weibei border. After crossing Daqian Mountain and Jishan Mountain, you came to the Central Plains. You are just a foreign princess, and now His Majesty even the entire northern border... no, he doesn’t even care about the people in the world, but would he care about you, a foreign princess? He even ordered Weibei Entering the Central Plains? He is almost crazy. Do you think you are the Seventh Princess who fought in Weibei for three years?"

"Even the seventh princess, wasn't she recalled to the capital by the emperor last year?"

Wuming and Tang Chiyu went out for three months, and they did not conceal their identities in Kaiyang, Fengcheng and Yanbeicheng.However, even in Fengcheng, which caused the most trouble, the only ones who knew their identities were Fengcheng Navy Master and Liang Taishou's family. Ordinary people, who would care about the itinerary of a princess and a princess?

What's more, Yanbei's side is remote, and the information is not well-informed.So up to now, the Six Eyes Sect only knows that Tang Chiyu was recalled to the capital last year, but they don't know that she has already traveled with Wuming, and they don't know how much deterrent the word Changning Princess has in the capital.

As for King Qin's serious illness, Tang Zhi is now in power, judging from what the old man said, he probably didn't know about it either.

Nameless lowered his eyes and thought.

After laughing for a while, the old man said again: "Even if the Weibei Army will come, how long will it take from the imperial court to send an order to Weibei and then to Yanbei? The six-eyed teacher has many eyes and ears, and we will take you away as soon as we hear the news." , even if we didn't have time to escape, do you think that group of Weibei soldiers who can only kill can really save you? At that time, everyone will die together."

Nameless tilted his head feebly, still laughing.However, in the eyes of the old man, her skin became paler and her smile became more and more forced.

The old man didn't take a step closer, but still stood there and looked at her: "Your Highness, the old man has said the same thing. You should be more conscious, and obediently hand over the weapons on your body."

"I don't have the strength." Wuming glanced at the boy following the old man, "You won't send someone to get it?"
