Di Gong, the general manager of the Imperial Household, Di Wei, was in charge of most of the Imperial Household masters. He was one of the pinnacles of the Imperial Household power. A single cough could make the Yujing officialdom tremble three times.
I didn't know who spread the news before, saying that Di Wei was the descendant of Di Jie, the governor of Liangjiang. In terms of age and seniority, he was still the uncle of Di Jie.
As a result, before Di Jie, the governor of Liangjiang, could say anything, Di Wei had already sent someone to find out the person who spread the word, hang him on the gate tower and beat him to death.
Ren Qi had seen him from a distance before, and thought he was a middle-aged man with white hair, a hooked nose, and sharp eyes.
He looks plump and square, not like a general manager, but more like a feudal official, a majestic military attaché or a general.
Unexpectedly, such a high-ranking person was transferred from Yujing to Changbai Mountain by Prince Su.
However, after thinking about it, Ren Qi always felt that there might be some inside story, because even if Prince Su could mobilize some of the internal experts, he would not be able to call the immediate superiors of the internal experts. He did not have such authority.
Or maybe Di Gong was sent by Yujing to monitor Prince Su?
While thinking, Ren Qi couldn't help but slow down in the advancing team.
After all, they were using extremely fast mobile devices at this time. As long as they operated a little slower, they would be pulled away by more than ten meters by their peers.
Yin Xiu stepped forward and pushed Ren Qi gently on his lower back, bringing Ren Qi back from his thoughts.
Ren Qi came back to his senses, and the two of them looked at each other, then separated from each other and concentrated on following the team.
Although Yin Xiu originally planned to go to the camp, the plan suddenly changed. These bloody people did not intend to return to the camp, so they could not act without authorization to avoid arousing suspicion and starting a fight with the officers and soldiers before they arrived at the camp. conflict.
According to the report in the letter, the place where Saint White Lotus was found should not be far away, because just after crossing two mountains, Situ Zhen had already started to send out gestures, calling everyone to be alert, and formed a search formation.
Ren Qi was naturally familiar with it and knew what to do, so he quickly moved Yin Xiu and Hai Dongqing, who did not understand at all, to the corner of the formation and landed at the end of the triangle search formation.
After a while after forming their formation, they heard a series of gunshots coming from the mountains in front of them.
Everyone was stunned. Yin Xiu and Ren Qi tacitly put their hands on the weapons on their waists.
Luoyun Valley, this name is quite literary and elegant, but actually it is because there is always fog in this valley, so some people gave it such a name half-understandably.
Luoyun Valley is sandwiched between two beacon towers, and is a warning zone for Ouchi experts.
Therefore, it is very reasonable that the White Lotus Saintess would be surrounded and killed by many masters here.
Situ Zhen rushed into Luoyun Valley from a high place with all the blood drops, like birds swooping down one after another.
Bang! Peng! Bang!
The sound of gunshots mixed with the sound of high-speed steam explosions from mobile devices makes people's eardrums tremble, the blood boiling in their bones, and they feel faintly excited.
Situ Zhen was in the front, and he did not intend to lead his men into the place where gunfire was concentrated immediately. Instead, he went into the woods first and gathered his team there.
Yin Xiu let the anchor rope pull her, somersaulted in the air and landed on a tree, bending the poor branches quite a bit.
Haidongqing was even worse. The moment he fell, many branches and leaves were knocked down.
But they were at the back of the team, and the eyes and attention of everyone in front were on the valley, so no one noticed their lack of skill.
Situ Zhen stood on the branch in front and made a gesture to everyone to check the equipment.
So immediately, everyone opened the sword boxes at their waists, and the milky white steam inside immediately emitted, adding some haziness to the mist in the valley.
Based on his previous experience, Yin Xiu skillfully removed the bamboo tube from his waist and poured fresh pulverized coal into the fuel tank from inside.
Yin Xiu had often done this kind of operation before, so it looked very natural. On the contrary, Hai Dongqing was a bit unskilled.
But he hid behind Ren Qi and Yin Xiu, and no one noticed.
After a small sound, the sound of hatch covers closing was heard in the forest. It was obvious that everyone had filled up their equipment and fuel.
Situ Zhen took out the long knife from the box, wiped it on his sleeve, and then stared at the sharp knife with cold light, fascinated for a moment.
Blooddrop's long knife was specially made to match the mobile device. It was thin and sharp, so it was light and flexible. The only drawback was that it was difficult to break through the armor's defense.
But in this day and age, few people wear armor anymore.
What's more, there are no craftsmen who make armor among the people. Occasionally, if one is leaked out, it will only be kept at home as an antique heirloom.
On the other hand, the altar masters, protectors, and senior brothers of the White Lotus Sect often hide a steel plate in their chest clothes in order to perform magical arts, so that they cannot cut it in.
But that’s okay. If you can’t cut it in, just find another place to cut it.
After looking at and admiring the knife for a long time, Situ Zhen finally came back from his faint excitement, his expression still as cold and meticulous as before.
"Next, let's go to the battlefield, maintain our formation, and don't rush forward greedily. Remember, our target is only the White Lotus Saint. Don't let her escape, and don't let those irrelevant people slow us down."
"Yes!" everyone responded in unison.
Situ Zhen nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand, "Let's go!"
Peng! Peng! !
The explosion sounded again, and figures flew out of the forest, heading deeper into the valley in the thick fog.
Yin Xiu followed, following the trajectory of the person in front, controlling the anchor rope to shoot into the gaps in the rocks and into the tree trunks, constantly leaping forward and advancing.
Soon, in front of them, those flickering lights appeared in front of them, reflecting in everyone's pupils dilated with excitement.
Yin Xiu looked back at Hai Dongqing and whispered: "Take care of yourself. If anything happens, run away first."
Hai Dongqing glared at him, "Don't worry, this matter is no different from hunting. As an old hunter, I can use bows and arrows or knives, so I won't cause wild boars to pout."
"Wrong, this is completely different from hunting!"
Yin Xiu's eyes widened, frightened and anxious, "Are you mistaken!? We are not Dauchi masters! We are just pretending to be them. If they want to fight the White Lotus Sect to the death, then fight, Just let's watch the show on the side.
Are you really into the drama and planning to live and die with them? ”
"Huh? It seems so!"
Only then did Hai Dongqing react, "They beat them, why am I so concerned?"
"I thought you were in cahoots with them."
Ren Qi also glanced at him, "You'd better be careful, I won't be able to take care of you when the fight breaks out."
"Why, do you think you are in the same group with them?" Hai Dongqing asked.
“Do you think it’s easy to pretend to be someone else?”
Ren Qi snorted coldly, "Those big masters have very poisonous eyes. As the captain of the team, I'm afraid it won't be able to end without killing a few people later."
"Then, aren't those White Lotus Sect very unlucky?" "What are they so unlucky about?"
Ren Qifeng was disdainful, "Everyone who joins the White Lotus Sect counts, and no one is innocent. If the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus bumps into me later, I won't mind helping the blood drops."< br>
Yin Xiu only glanced at him and said nothing.
At this time, the wind noise generated during high-speed traveling, coupled with the sounds of fighting all around, had blocked everyone's ears, so even if they whispered at the end of the team, the people in front could hardly hear them.
However, soon, Yin Xiu and the other three had no chance to speak in a low voice.
Because in the dense forest, dozens of feather arrows suddenly shot out, with the sound of breaking wind and splashing down on the team of Xuedizi.
"Flash!"
First, Situ Zhen shouted at the front, and then the orders were repeated and conveyed one after another, finally forming a unified, neat and loud sound.
"Flash!!"
The blood droplets used the anchor cable to turn around in the air and use their own methods to avoid the deadly arrows. Their formation was slightly chaotic, but their forward momentum was not curbed by the sudden rain of arrows.
After dodging the first wave of arrows, Situ Zhen had already discovered the figure of the White Lotus Sect hiding in the woods ahead.
The men seemed to be preparing a second wave of arrows.
However, Situ Zhen never gave them a chance and immediately shouted: "Welcome!"
"Welcome!!"
The blood droplets gathered together skillfully, and there was a murderous sound of swords being unsheathed in the queue. Everyone held the long knife in their hands with murderous intent.
Situ Zhen couldn't help but feel excited when he heard the sound coming from behind.
However, in the woods ahead, there were also the sounds of various weapons being unsheathed. There were spears, swords, broadswords, and even some weapons that he couldn't hear the specific movements of. They were all being held in the hands of others, and they were also filled with murderous intent.
The former was the sound made by his own people, which cheered Situ Zhen up.
The latter was the clamor of those rebels from the White Lotus Sect, which only made Situ Zhen furious.
"Kill!"
"Kill!!"
Situ Zhen took the lead and rushed into the forest, followed by droplets of blood one after another, like a flock of birds burrowing into the forest, or like a pack of wolves pouncing on their prey.
There were hundreds of White Lotus cultists hiding in the forest, each holding swords and spears, coming towards the blood droplets.
In an instant, the whole forest was filled with shouts of killing, the sound of iron tools clashing, and the sound of flesh and blood being torn apart.
The blood droplets in front were like hot knives piercing butter. With the help of knives, various hidden weapons, and anchor ropes, they quickly tore apart the White Lotus Sect's formation and penetrated deeper.
The White Lotus Sect's torn formation was like a wave of water being pushed away, then closing again after reaching a limit.
These combined waves were immediately hit by Ren Qi.
Ren Qi turned the scimitar in his hand, and as the sword flashed, the White Lotus cultist who attacked him from the left and right had his head cut off and fell heavily.
Hai Dongqing followed closely behind him and was startled when the hot blood splashed all over him.
At this moment, a spear stabbed from an angle, just under Hai Dongqing's ribs. The angle was so cunning and vicious that he had no time to stop him, and no way to fight back, and he was immediately in a desperate situation!
"Watch out!"
Yin Xiu pressed the button, and an anchor rope flew out with steam, piercing into the chest of the White Lotus cultist, causing the man holding the gun to fall to the ground.
Before Yin Xiu could relax, an angry man with a big knife stumbled forward, knocked his companion away, and struck him in the face with the knife.
A trace of anger flashed in Yin Xiu's eyes. She twisted her toes on the ground and stepped on a deep hole. She stopped abruptly on the soft ground, twisted her waist, and handed the long knife forward in her hand.
The thin, sharp blade sparked sparks on the angry man's big knife. Before the angry man could react, the long knife had pierced his chest and blood spattered out.
Hai Dongqing stumbled, took two steps back, and was hugged by Yin Xiu again.
At this time, she had already forgotten all the taboos she had before. She didn't notice that Yin Xiu was holding her soft waist. She just stared at Yin Xiu with wide eyes, unable to recover.
It's not like Hai Dongqing has never killed someone. Back then, she stood thirty steps away and shot one of the village's security chiefs and bullies, but she didn't let these people escape.
In the woods, she also cut the necks of those desperate bandits who were jealous of her peers.
However, killing people and fighting are two different things. To kill one or two people, all you need is wisdom and means.
But when you are trapped in a battlefield where hundreds or thousands of people are fighting, you really realize that those fights you were proud of before were just playing house.
Yin Xiu saw the fear in Hai Dongqing's eyes, and he said coldly: "You thought you were going to die soon, so you wanted to do something exciting, so you shot the bloody man in the forest and followed us here. , right?”
Hai Dongqing couldn't deny Yin Xiu's judgment. She was really looking for a little excitement, so she wanted to go deep into the enemy camp with Yin Xiu, see some unseen scenery, and do some magnificent and strange things.
"When did you know?"
"I knew it from the beginning."
Yin Xiu was very close to her, and the breath coming out of the mask made Hai Dongqing's face turn red.
"You only said that you would be a guide and would never participate in other things, so I never thought that you would take action, and you would kill an Ouchi bloody man.
When you took action, I already knew that you were just looking for some excitement, not to help us or to take revenge on anyone. ”
"I have no enemies in the world anymore."
Hai Dongqing smiled miserably and pushed Yin Xiu away, "However, there are no relatives left. I know that I will die in this mountain and will not be able to get out, so I want to experience some exciting things before I die. Isn't it too much?
But since you already knew this, why did you still agree to my joining? And you didn’t tell me clearly and exposed me? ”
"What's the need?"
Yin Xiu suddenly pointed his long knife forward. In the direction he pointed, people were killing each other, and blood was flowing everywhere.
"What do you think living is? What is life? Everyone says he is a hero, a great hero, but when he is about to die, he will be so scared that he wets his pants.
I brought you here just to let you know that for many people, living one more day is already an unattainable luxury.
It would be foolish for you to use this life as a bargaining chip and tool for pursuing excitement.
Do you think that even if your life is short, the remaining days are not important? Let me tell you, a person's life is just one day. No day without it is complete. No matter which day he lives in confusion, his life is in vain. ”
When Hai Dongqing heard this, his eyes widened with mist. (End of chapter)
