"The Emperor only asked me to look for Huamanqi, but didn't ask me to go in. Now that I've found it, I'll go back and report back."
With that said, Huo Ji turned the camel around and seemed to really intend to go back the way he came.
"Wait!"
Huo Ji turned back with a smile: "Your Majesty, do you have any other instructions? Do you have something to bring to the Emperor?"
"Since we're here, we might as well go in and have a look together. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a pity that so many lives have been lost?"
The threat in He Liang's words was obvious, Huo Ji sneered: "Don't you know how to enter?"
"I don't know, but someone knows! Come here! Arrest the four of them!"
The expressions of Huo Ji and others suddenly changed, and they saw that Hao Jiang was leading people towards Mo Shen and the others.
"My lord, what are you doing?" Chihuang asked softly.
"The woman who competed for the leadership of the martial arts competition that day and was later brought back to the mansion by the princess was a spy sent by Luo Qi!"
"Spy? Is the prince worrying too much?"
"In the past, when Su Zhen and Chu Zheng led the army to march south, there was a woman who could use magic to shrink Luo Qi's army to an inch, and they arrived at the Southern Wilderness tribe in just a few days. And that woman's name is Mo Shen!"
At this time, Mo Shen and the other four were also brought forward.
With a wave of He Liang's long sword, Mo Shen's veil was immediately lifted off, revealing her true face.
Hao Jiang took out a portrait. The face of the woman in the portrait was exactly the same as hers.
Huo Ji held his breath and managed to calm down.
"My lord, you have recognized the wrong person. She is not Mo Shen."
With that said, Huo Ji walked up to 'Mo Chen' and stared into those familiar eyes. The deep attachment and longing in his eyes could hardly be suppressed. He sighed softly and whispered in her ear: "Wanwan
, You shouldn’t have come. Don’t be afraid, as long as I’m here, no one can hurt you.”
Her pupils shrank sharply and her fingers trembled slightly.
Huo Ji raised his hand to tear off her human skin mask, but she grabbed his wrist.
Push Huo Ji away and slowly walk to He Liang.
After groping behind his ears, a human skin mask was immediately pulled off.
If Mo Shen is smart and charming, then the appearance under this face can be called unparalleled.
Beauty is in the bones and not in the skin, but the beauty of the woman in front of them is from the bones to the skin, from the inside out. Even the bewitching beauty tree beside them loses its color in front of her.
And He Liang had never seen such a captivating woman. After being stunned, he asked again in a cold voice: "Huo Ji, who is she?"
"She is Linqinghe's sister, Linwaner."
Huo Ji casually made up a false identity for her.
He Liang had heard that Linqinghe had a sister, but he had never seen her. Some said she was Princess Chihuang, while others said she was missing and has not been found.
"Isn't Linqinghe's sister missing?"
"Wan'er heard that my brother had made military exploits, so he went to Phoenix City to look for him. Unexpectedly, he accidentally entered the princess's mansion. He also overheard that they were coming to the desert to hunt for treasure. Wan'er didn't know how high the sky was, so he followed him. But he didn't expect that,
My brother didn't come."
There was regret in her tone, and she stared directly at He Liang, not daring to dodge for fear that he would not believe what she said.
"Huo Ji, since you and Linqinghe have already figured out her identity, why don't you recognize her?"
"The things the emperor told us are more important. The general originally wanted to hold a banquet to celebrate the two brothers and sisters after he returns."
He Liang seemed to believe their nonsense, nodded and said: "Today, I must enter this flower-filled road. Huo Ji, think carefully about what the emperor has said to you, otherwise, none of you will be able to get out of this place."
A vast desert.”
The meaning of these words was to tell them that in addition to these five thousand soldiers, He Liang also ambushed more soldiers and horses.
If they dare to make any move, those people will immediately launch an attack.
"I have a plan, but, Your Majesty, you have to let the others go first."
He Liang glanced at those people who were trembling but still harboring desire, shook his head and said with a smile: "You are kind enough to let them go, but they don't seem to appreciate it."
"Those who are not afraid of death can keep it as a trial stone. Those who are lucky enough to survive can go in and have a try."
Trial stone?
When those people heard this, their faces turned pale.
"Your Majesty, the common people are ignorant and have been stunned by the legend, but the common people are awake. Please let us go. We don't want anything anymore!"
"Yes, Prince, please let us go!"
"Your Majesty, we are all old and young, and we don't want to die yet! Just let us go home!"
"Your Majesty! Please, please let us go, please?"
They are not fools. If they don't leave, no matter how important the treasure is, they won't be able to get it if they don't live.
Listening to the begging for mercy, He Liang waved his hand and the soldiers gave way one after another. Seeing this, those people did not even dare to pack their things, for fear that He Liang would regret it.
But in the blink of an eye, all those people were gone.
The remaining people who were unwilling to do so did not dare to stay longer in the face of the poisoned arrows fired by the soldiers.
After a while, only He Liang, Huo Ji and others were left in front of the beauty tree, as well as Zhu Gusheng and Jiang Xing
After watching those people leave, Huo Ji finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't want to harm anyone at first, but He Jingyuan was so obsessed with ghosts that he brought trouble to them.
Now that those people are gone, he no longer has to be restrained in his actions.
He took out a new piece of Wuxi wood from his arms, split it into two pieces, and threw one piece to Tan Zhi. The two of them flew into the air from the camel, stepping on the trunk of the beauty tree, and each flew towards the phoenix.
A phoenix.
Putting a piece of ebony wood in front of their lips, the two magical birds suddenly opened their eyes.
The two reacted very quickly and immediately flew back to the ground.
Accompanied by two extremely loud and long calls, those red branches gradually transformed into flesh and bone, and soft red feathers quickly covered the whole body.
Just when everyone was astonished, the phoenix and the phoenix turned into two real divine birds. Their bodies gradually separated from the beauty tree and flew towards the sky.
The black beauty tree bark actually had mottled cracks, and all of it fell off in the blink of an eye, revealing the true beauty form inside.
If the figure of the headless woman outside is enchanting and graceful, then the shape of the man inside is comparable to that of a fallen immortal. His strong and muscular body is hidden under the blood-colored armor, and a long black stick is clearly held in his hand.
In the palm of your hand.
And his feet turned into tree roots and were buried deep in the ground.
A strange fragrance overflowed, and Jiang Xing, not far away, suddenly felt unbearable pain all over his body. There seemed to be a heat in his body spreading to his limbs. Vaguely, he seemed to see his left index finger turning into a ball.
A black piece of wood.
Strange power continued to expand within his body, and real hallucinations continued to flash before his eyes.
After the soldiers discovered his strangeness, they exclaimed loudly: "Look! This weirdo looks exactly like that tree!"
