The wind was blowing fiercely in the mountains and forests, and wolves were howling, and it was pitch black as far as the eye could see. The moon was darkening in the sky, and thick clouds covered the sky. Occasionally, the clouds moved slowly, and only a little light of the silvery moon was revealed.
Zhang Ji, who had just emerged from the cave, followed Xia Zhaoyi, eating dry food in his hand as he walked. The other hand, like Xia Zhaoyi's, held a carved Yunlan woven lantern.
Two Xia Jiajun soldiers followed them, each holding a lamp. Apart from the four of them, there was no one else.
Zhang Ji explained in detail what happened in the past few days. At the end, he frowned and said: "Second Miss, I cannot understand why General Shen continues to go on, knowing that he is trapped and deceived."
Xia Zhaoyi smiled lightly, looked at the lantern in his hand that was being swayed by the attacking night wind, and said, "Tell me, are they trying to lure us to the Perilla Dyeing House on purpose?"
"It should be," Zhang Ji said, "The place where the body is buried will only make us go to Junneixiang to inquire first. If we happen to encounter the snake and rat problem in the perilla dyeing workshop, we will definitely keep an eye on this dyeing workshop."
Xia Zhaoyi said: "Although we put the snake and rat in, in fact, if we want to lead us to the purple sue dyeing house and discover the strangeness in the wine cellar, there can be a more direct way."
"Well," Zhang Ji nodded, "We didn't even think of putting these snakes and rats in a few days ago, and those people certainly wouldn't have expected them either. So these so-called snakes and rats should be their push."
"Yes, so if you want to lead us to the Zisu Dyeing House, why do you want to bury the body in the Chen family ancestral hall and make people scream to lure us there?"
Zhang Ji was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "My subordinates understand! They must not only want us to go to the Perilla Dyeing House by doing this. No wonder General Shen immediately asked Ruan Guoliang to take people back and do it again!" said At this point, he paused briefly and then said, "But Miss Second, why do those people do this?"
Xia Zhaoyi's bright eyes narrowed slightly, and he said as he walked: "Perhaps they want us to find a man named Tang, or maybe Meng, or Zhang."
"They're looking for this man?"
"Well, they wanted to use us to look for them, but luckily for them, I happened to be looking for them too."
Zhang Ji said thoughtfully: "Second Miss just said that her surname may be Zhang, so it may be related to Zhang Tengfei."
"Yeah." Xia Zhaoyi said.
There was also the howling of ghosts and wolves under the wine cellar. She was sure that the sound was used to scare people away.
Tang Xiangsi was excellent in all aspects of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. From his poems and articles, we can see his attainments in rhythm and sound.
Xia Zhaoyi believed that it would not be difficult for him to use the terrain to build such a weird "instrument".
She had rarely thought about the relationship between Tang Xiangsi and "those people" before, because Tang Xiangsi only had the word "the deceased" in her curiosity.
Now it seems that "those people" have to deal with not only the people named Qiao, but also Tang Xiangsi they are looking for.
Before coming to Hengxiang on this trip, she had never thought that she would interact with Feng Qingang. She never thought that Feng Qingang was actually in Hengxiang.
Although Feng Qingang and "those people" are not enemies and have been in close contact with each other, it can be seen from what Fan Zhuyi said and the cave she visited that is not known to "those people". Qing Ang was obviously not the same person as them.
If Fan Zhuyi's sect is added to the mix, as well as her and Shen Lie, there will suddenly be five forces colliding.
The deeper we went into the mountain, the stronger the wind became. Zhang Ji looked at the dazzling lights and said, "Second Miss, would you like to cut some branches to fix this lantern?"
Xia Zhaoyi smiled and swung the lantern in his hand again, and joked: "If there is a lantern like this in the mountains, it would be a mountain. It would be wonderful to match the sound of the wind."
Unlike Lao Tong Zhi Changle or Zhan Ning, Zhang Ji has a serious and unsmiling character and respectfully said: "Yes."
Seeing him like this, Xia Zhaoyi explained: "The dazzling lights will indeed mess up the sight, but the creatures hiding in the dark will also be confused. Look at this firelight," Xia Zhaoyi raised her hand high and placed the lantern on her shoulder.
The front was shaken by the forest wind. As she kept walking forward, the light and shadow from the lights swayed randomly throughout the mountain. Xia Zhaoyi said with a smile, "Many animals are afraid of fire. Those who hide in the dark are watching us.
People are also afraid of seeing the light. If they want to plot against us and encounter this light, they must hide themselves first."
Zhang Ji spoke sincerely: "Well, Second Miss, this subordinate has been a trailblazer and is used to walking in darkness. Now he has learned a lesson. However, Second Miss's keenness and good skills are still needed to deter those people. This subordinate does not
If you're not smart, you won't be able to use this trick in the future."
Xia Zhaoyi was amused by his serious interpretation. Although her laughter was low, it was very clear.
The two soldiers behind her were moved by her brisk tone and also laughed out loud.
Xia Zhaoyi put down the lantern, then paused and raised it again.
She obviously didn't say anything, but for just a moment, the three men behind her, including Zhang Ji, immediately became vigilant and guarded. They almost instinctively walked quickly towards her back to protect her.
Looking up at the sky where Xia Zhaoyi looked up, Zhang Ji frowned and said solemnly: "Second Miss, someone is hanging up there?!"
Xia Zhaoyi's clear eyes darkened and darkened, and he said calmly: "It's the armor made by soldiers from the Duwei Mansion in the south of the city."
The sound of wind pierced through the forest sea, howling and stirring thousands of branches and leaves, and seemed to carry a scream from far away in the horizon, but if you listen carefully, you can't hear it.

In April, the orioles are flying, the grass is growing, the mountains are lush with green, and thousands of trees are growing.
Accompanied by sharp screams, many torches that fell to the ground instantly ignited fires on the lush vegetation.
Li Guohao led his men and rushed down the mountain. Because they lost their torches and there was no moonlight in the sky, the forest sea instantly became as dark as demon bones wrapped around branches.
He led the way haphazardly, followed by a group of stumbling soldiers.
There was a "swish" sound, and several sharp arrows came from behind. A soldier screamed and fell from the top.
Others didn't care to help him, so he ran faster and screamed louder.
When they ran to a mountain spring, the intersection narrowed and there were rocks on both sides. Several soldiers fell into the shallow spring in the dark. They were stirred by the coolness and climbed up screaming, only to find that the mountain spring only reached their knees.
"Shut up!" came a man's fierce shout.
With his sharp ears, Li Guohao recognized Zhang Ji's voice and immediately shouted: "Zhang Zhiling! Is it Zhang Zhiling!"
"Someone's coming to get us!" the deputy yelled.
Everyone was so happy that they ran faster.
"What the hell are these people talking about!" a soldier behind Zhang Ji said speechlessly.
"Let's go!" Zhang Ji quickened his pace.
The two sides met, and Li Guohao felt like he was being amnesty, but he looked again and again and saw only the three of them.
The soldier beside Zhang Ji said: "You haven't seen our second lady?"
"Miss Ah Li?" Li Guohao looked around and everyone said they didn't see her.
"Our second young lady went up one step ahead of us," Zhang Ji said, "If you haven't met her, then she took a shortcut."
"Shortcut? Miss Ah Li knows the way? Has she been here before?" Li Guohao was surprised.
Zhang Ji shook his head: "No, but for our second lady, as long as it is not a cliff, there is a way."
The mountain wind became stronger and stronger, the roar swept across, and the trees beside the mountain road were bent down.
The forest fire in the distance started quickly and became fierce, with large pieces of broken branches blowing to other places along with the fireball.
The villagers in Junneixiang who ran down with Li Guohao were so anxious that they shed tears for fear of being swallowed up by the fire.
One person was about to run away, but Zhang Ji stopped him and said, "Don't be afraid, there is going to be heavy rain, let's go down the mountain first!"
Li Guohao and other soldiers looked up to the sky. Indeed, the sky had been densely suppressed by thick clouds tonight. Looking at the fierce mountain wind, it was indeed going to rain heavily.
