Chapter 203 Unexpected Enemy Five in Act Twenty-Seven
The night is getting deeper and frogs are chirping in the rice fields outside the city. Zeyin City, which is noisy during the day, also closes its windows and doors, turns off the lights and candles, and gradually falls asleep. Occasionally, there are a few dogs barking, It interrupted the heavy snoring coming from someone's house in the air, and also disturbed the rats foraging for food at the end of the street where sewage flowed, making bursts of squeaking noises.
The girl sat sideways on the couch, but was not in a hurry to cover her naked body with clothes. The moonlight shone on her shoulders and back through the window paper, and the soft curves were as smooth and clean as if they were carved out of jade.
"I didn't expect that I would be so far away in Pengguo that I would be lucky enough to spend the spring night with the top star of the Shihua Pavilion. If Miss Ziyuan has any other requests, please mention them as well. Huang will definitely do his best to fulfill them."
"I have nothing else to ask for. I just hope that Jiulang will not deceive the little girl and can lead the two of us to meet Duke Pengguo smoothly."
The girl gently stroked the other person's chest with her delicate fingers, trying her best to tease him.
"That's natural." The man nodded, but suddenly turned around and grabbed her wrist: "Huang has some doubts. Could it be that you two are willing to go across half the country to see Ying Ren because of me? How about revenge for Brother Qi, who was abandoned by fate?"
The girl struggled to pull her hand out of the opponent's palm, and something seemed to be rolling in her black eyes.
She wanted to say that she did want revenge, but not for Qi Shouyu, let alone Ye State. There were too many people in the world who had wronged her, and now she wanted to cause them pain and make them regret not treating her well. A helpless little girl!
However, just for a moment, she carefully restrained her increasingly fierce gaze, suppressed the anger that was about to burst out again, and just smiled:
"Jiulang laughed. My little girl just wants to ask Duke Pengguo to do something for me. The matter is related to my life experience, but he can't do it. But I am very happy to see Jiulang today, so I don't want to mention it again. Those sad past events.”
"In this case, Huang made a mistake. Please don't blame Miss Ziyuan. Huang will abide by his promise. If the girl remembers the method of entering the palace just mentioned, Huang will send a car to take you back to the inn."
Seeing that the girl remained silent, Huang Jian had no choice but to lift up his obscene clothes from the edge of the couch and put it on her shoulders, "But before that, Huang wanted to ask one more question, is it true that you are walking with that Yu Li?" Aren’t you afraid?”
"Afraid? I wonder why my daughter should be afraid of him?"
Zi Yuan thought that the other party was trying to trick her again, so she adjusted the clothes around her shoulders and responded casually, "Although Yu Li's character is a bit eccentric, he still obeyed my words and was very protective along the way - "
But Huang Jian's face darkened: "It seems that you really don't know. When I found their mother and son, he was only ten years old and relied on his naturally strong physique to protect his mother all the way. Even He did not hesitate to collide with the bandits and almost lost his life. But later, in order to follow me to Ye State to recognize Qi Shouyu as his father, he beat up his biological mother who had always been opposed to this matter, and finally beat her to death!"
Hearing this, Zi Yuan's shoulders suddenly trembled slightly. However, she did not answer the question, let alone defend Yu Li, but quickly put on the rest of her clothes and bowed respectfully:
"Excuse me for driving Kuro."
The creaking of the wheels broke the silence of the night. Watching the horse-drawn carriage disappearing into the night, the housekeeper couldn't help but approach the owner and asked: "Zhizhan, do you need to send someone to spy on the inn?" One or two, find out why these two people came to meet Ying Ren?"
Huang Jian waved his hand: "Now that Dasheng Sheji is in turmoil, these two people came here alone, and they can only do it because of the powerful Lan Yan of Peng State. There are many of our eyes and ears in the Peng State army. As long as they go well After meeting Ying Ren, it’s not too late to send someone to keep an eye on her. Besides—”
He suddenly paused and calculated, "Besides, the group of people who went to Lincang a few days ago also returned to Zeyin tonight. It's better to take a look first and stay in the same inn. Will anything interesting happen between these two groups of people here?"
When Zi Yuan returned to the inn, the sky was already getting slightly brighter. She couldn't help but worry about what kind of trouble she would cause if her whereabouts last night were known to Yu Li.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw that Yu Li had already woken up, sitting on the edge of the couch holding his broad-backed saber, and asked in a low voice: "Where have you been?" It was difficult to distinguish between happiness and anger in his tone. .
"I - I was kept up all night by the frogs' croaking, so I went out to get some fresh air."
The girl told a lie at will, but because she felt guilty, she did not dare to look into the other person's eyes.
However, Yu Li easily believed her excuse and walked up to her and hugged her into her arms: "It makes me worried. You know, when I was sleeping hazily last night, another person moved in a few rooms next door. We had some guests. We also had an argument with the night clerk over the insufficient number of available rooms. I thought you accidentally bumped into them and there was some kind of conflict——"
"What conflict can I have with a group of outsiders?"
Zi Yuan was a little confused by what he said, but Yu Li pulled him to the half-open window, pointed to the yard below and said:
"Look at the horses below. They all have a plum blossom-shaped brand the size of a copper coin on their hindquarters. They are obviously the military horses of our Ye Guo Zhou division. Extraordinary people can ride them easily. I just don't know why these people are here today. When we arrived at the border of Peng Kingdom, could it be because of the blue flame? Maybe Qi Shouyu was not really dead?!"
"These are all your guesses. Now that the war in Ye country has been decided, they are just a few military horses. Maybe they were obtained by these people by chance on the battlefield?"
Zi Yuan saw that the other party did not ask in detail where she had gone, and did not want to cause trouble again, so she followed his words and dealt with it. Unexpectedly, Yu Li shook his head:
"I am definitely not guessing. Did you know that because there were not enough rooms, five or six people in that group did not stay here, but rushed to other places overnight. Moreover, I actually recognized one of them One of them!"
"Who did you recognize?"
Hearing what the other party said, Zi Yuan also began to feel that something was fishy and couldn't help but frown.
"Do you still remember that I said before that when I was with Qi Shouyu, a mysterious man would often come to visit me in Jinghaihou Mansion. Everyone called him Mr. Kun..."
Yu Li murmured solemnly, "It was this Mr. Kun who revealed to Qi Shouyu the clues about the map we found from Butler Feng!"
As soon as she heard the ancient picture of the ancestors, Ziyuan immediately turned around and rushed out the door: "In that case, we rushed into the room directly, catching them off guard, and then asked the remaining people to understand, and soon we knew who they were. What are your plans for coming to Pengguo?!"
When Yu Li saw this, he wanted to stop him, but he was still a step too late. He did not expect that the dark-eyed girl who usually smiled sweetly would bang the door next door as if she was crazy. And he was even more helpless.
You know, Zi Yuan's move was influenced by Huang Jian's words and deliberately tested him.
The person who stepped forward to answer the door was none other than one of Kun Jie's men, the Fire Holder. At this time, he was sleepy-eyed. When he saw that the person knocking on the door was a girl, he yawned and waved his hand:
"Did you find the wrong door, girl?"
But before the other person could finish speaking, Zi Yuan took advantage of him being defenseless, stretched out his hand and pushed the man to the ground, and called Yu Li who stood up:
"Why don't we do it quickly and leave only this one alive!"
Yu Li couldn't help it, so he also rushed in with a knife, swung the spine of the knife and knocked the fireman on the ground unconscious. Such a commotion caused a lot of commotion, and in an instant the other sleeping guests in the inn were killed.
He was also startled and woke up. Some good people poked their heads out of the door to look around, and seven or eight people armed with fire rushed out from several rooms farther away, but they were holding bright Shuodi scimitars in their hands!
"Damn it, you guys are still in contact with the barbarians in the north! You brought me to my sword today!"
When Yu Li saw this, he immediately shouted loudly, swung his saber and went to kill the general. The Jianyue in his hand was very heavy, and even the top players would have difficulty blocking it with all their strength. What's more, the Cangyu tribe is not good at close combat, and only once
During the confrontation, most of the scimitars in the hands of the seven or eight firemen were blown away on the spot.
After winning with one blow, Yu Li immediately flew up with his feet and kicked two of them down from the building. The two unarmed men holding the fire landed on the ground on the back of their heads, and their heads were smashed on the spot.
"Killing people!"
Someone in the inn immediately exclaimed, and the waiters in the store were also frightened by this sudden scene. After a long time, they fled out of the door with their heads in their hands. However, among the onlookers, Kun Jie was not sitting here at the moment. There was no leader.
After receiving the order, the group of fire fighters did not dare to easily use the breath to control the enemy.
This gave Yu Li the opportunity to rush forward again, brandishing his saber, and slashed the stomachs of the three of them with just one blow. The originally sleeping inn turned into a bloody slaughterhouse in the blink of an eye.
Several of the fire fighters knew that they were no match, but they didn't want to get into more trouble when the city's officers and soldiers arrived, so they actually tried to turn around and run away after a few feints.
Yu Li wasn't stupid either. Seeing that he had the upper hand, he didn't pursue him anymore. Instead, he picked up the unconscious Zhu Huo at Zi Yuan's feet, grabbed the girl and rushed into the courtyard like flying.
, snatched two ownerless horses left by the firemen, and rushed towards the city gate like flying.
After jolting on horseback for a whole day and night, Yu Li and Zi Yuan finally arrived at Lincang City. Because of Zi Yuan's constant urging along the way, the two horses they had snatched were already frothing at the mouth, and they were far away from each other.
He collapsed on the official road ten miles away from Lincang and expired. However, such a frantic rush allowed the two of them to successfully enter the capital of Pengguo before Zeyin's wanted manhunt arrived.
At this time, they were rushing towards the Pengwang Palace with the captured Zhi Huo. Along the way, they used torture to extract details from each other's mouths about Kun Jie's meeting with Ying Ren a few days ago.
The newly transferred palace gate guard also heard about some of the experiences of his predecessors from the sergeants under his command. Now he saw someone coming to invade the palace aggressively. He immediately mobilized more than a hundred people as if facing a powerful enemy, and the incoming people surrounded him.
The water is blocked.
"Don't be nervous, everyone. We and I have important matters to meet with Duke Peng today. Although we don't have the official invitation to meet you, I hope we can be accommodating."
After all, Yu Li had served as a general in Ye State, and he knew some basic court etiquette. However, when the guard saw his ferocious face and spoke with a Wanzhou accent, he refused to let down his guard at all. He even raised his hand and ordered everyone around him to
The archers aimed countless iron arrows at the opponent's vital points:
"I can't accommodate you! This is the Pengwang Palace, not a place where pariahs like you from a foreign land can come and go at will!"
Yu Li knew that things would not be smooth sailing, so he stretched out his hand and pushed the chained flames forward, tearing off the linen covering his head:
"You should recognize the attire of this person, right? The girl next to me and I learned that a group of them came here to meet Duke Peng Guo a few days ago, and today they specially escorted the thieves here to present them to Duke Peng Guo!
"
The guard general saw that Zhihuo's body was covered with large and small scars, his pale face, and a pair of blue eyes staring like a ghost. For a moment, he did not dare to approach him, but just looked at him from a distance:
"Can a random person caught on the street be regarded as a thief? The king has so many things to do all day long, how can he have time to deal with you!"
However, many soldiers around him were still frightened by the fact that they were immobilized by the mysterious guest last time, and they immediately started talking in low voices.
The guard general had already heard about Kun Jie's technique of immobilizing the palace guards, and he couldn't help but admire Yu Li for being able to capture one of them alive. He was also a little afraid, so he had to lead two soldiers to fight.
Dare to step forward. However, at first glance, I saw that the prisoner was moaning and speechless in his throat, and his tongue had been cut out by Yu Li!
Such a method made him even more wary, and he still refused to give in at all. Unexpectedly, Zi Yuan, who had never said a word, suddenly stepped forward, turned his back to Yu Li, and handed something to the guard:
"This is Zeyin Huang Jiulang's token of entry into the palace. I hope you can be accommodating. The two of us brought a big secret today. And this secret is exactly the method that can help Duke Peng realize his wish.
!”
"Since it is Huang Jiulang's token... please wait here temporarily and allow me to go to the palace to report!"
Upon hearing Huang Jian's name, the guard's attitude immediately changed, and he hurriedly turned around and rushed towards the front of the Chao Barrier Hall on the hundred stone steps.
However, Yu Li couldn't help but murmur in his heart. He couldn't figure out where the token presented by his companion came from, let alone why she never told him that such a thing existed along the way.
