Moving forward along the gentle river, Lu Qingyu discovered that the loophole where he was stuck last time had been artificially expanded at some point, and was now wide enough for two people to pass side by side.
When the raft reached here, it could no longer move forward, but the water here was not very deep, so the four people in the group got off the raft and waded into the water.
After walking forward for some distance and turning a corner, the light suddenly became brighter.
We should have reached the dragon's head above the spiritual pool. There are carved stone walls on all sides. They are green in color and look quite old.
When he reached the end of the passage, Lu Qingyu raised his eyes and looked down, and sure enough he saw a steaming spiritual pool.[
It's just that the Lingchi is quiet at this time, and the fragrant white back of the day is no longer there.
Lu Qingyu sighed softly. Nearly half a year had passed. Unexpectedly, he would be back on this old road today. It is true that things in the world are like fate!
"Wow, what a beautiful spiritual pond. This young lady really knows how to enjoy it. She is so lucky to occupy such a good place! By the way, where did the young lady take a bath? Isn't it white? Isn't she pretty? Isn't she in good shape?
?”
After Mu Yizi looked into the Lingchi, he let out a series of sighs and asked Lu Qingyu three questions.
Lu Qingyu's face turned green when he heard this, and he wished he could pick up a stone and block this guy's mouth. However, it is undeniable that after his interruption, Lu Qingyu couldn't help but think of those stunning and beautiful curves again.
, and the aroma that still seems to have an aftertaste...
"Uh-huh, stop talking nonsense and go cool down!" After coughing awkwardly, Lu Qingyu turned to Shi En and asked, "Then what are we doing now? We can't just stand here stupidly!"
Shi En looked up at the sky and said:
"Don't worry, it's still early, and the people from the Dark Alliance probably haven't arrived yet. Let's wait here for a while. Someone will come to support us later. It won't be too late to go down then!"
Lu Qingyu nodded when he heard this, and sat aside without saying a word to recharge his batteries. Hu Dai followed closely behind him. Only Mu Yizi was still uneasy, looking left and right and moving around without stopping for a moment.
when.
Listening to the sound of water flowing around him and watching Mu Yizi walking back and forth in front of him, time moved slowly like this. Lu Qingyu and others waited in this faucet for four or five hours, until the sun began to set in the west.
At that time, there was no movement near the spiritual pond.
"Why is there no news yet?" Lu Qingyu looked at the sinking sun and asked Shi En with a frown.
Shi En also had an anxious look on his face, pacing and looking into the distance while replying:
"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer, calculate the time, it should be almost soon! There may be something temporarily delayed, don't mess up!"
"Dong dong dong"!
Before Shi En finished speaking, a knocking sound suddenly came from under the faucet.
"Here it comes!" Shi En looked delighted, and quickly leaned forward and looked down. Sure enough, a young girl appeared on the edge of the spiritual pool at some point, and was tapping intermittently on the stone wall below the dragon's head.
.
This girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old. She was wearing an emerald green cotton jacket, somewhat like a maid.
After knocking a few times, she saw the figures of Shi En and others peeking out of the faucet. The girl relaxed her brows, let out a breath, and then made a gesture to Shi En, leaving something on the ground.
After that, he quickly turned around and left.
Seeing the girl's retreating figure, Shi En's eyes flashed, he clenched his fist and whispered: [
"Let's go!"
After saying that, Shi En took out a bundle of strings from his body, tied one end to Shi Longtou's teeth, and then flew down the spiritual pool. Lu Qingyu and others also followed the instructions and followed silently.
After descending to the ground, Shi En picked up something left by the girl from the ground, but it was a crystal-clear jade slip for sound transmission.
After crushing the jade slip with concentration, Shi En was silent for a while, then raised his head and said to Lu Qingyu and others:
"Everything is going well. The messenger from the Dark Alliance has arrived and is on his way to the eldest lady's elegant residence. Let's rush over as soon as possible. The time should be just right. Everything will go according to the original plan!"
Lu Qingyu and the other three nodded and followed Shi En closely. Even Mu Yizi, who had always been the most restless, looked serious at this time. After all, the most critical moment had arrived!
Shi En had obviously studied the terrain of this valley in depth, so he knew the paths in and out very well along the way. Without encountering almost any obstacles, everyone had left the scope of the Lingchi and arrived at a place that was familiar to them.
In the fragrant plum blossom forest.
Through the gap between the trees, Lu Qingyu discovered that there was an elegant three-story bamboo building on a hillside outside the forest. The bamboo building was decorated with light gauze and had an aura of dust. It must be the residence of the eldest lady.
.
Under the bamboo house is an open slope with no obstructions. As long as a sentry post is arranged on the slope, almost everything in the entire valley can be seen at a glance.
How to sneak into the bamboo building while avoiding the enemy's surveillance was one of the problems that Shi En and the others encountered at the beginning.
Just when Lu Qingyu and others were quietly hiding in the plum forest and carefully observing the terrain in the valley, a sound suddenly came from the distance.
Lu Qingyu looked around and saw a group of people heading towards the bamboo building from far to near, with great fanfare and excitement along the way.
There was a soft sedan in the center of the team, and there were five horses guarding the front and back. It seemed that the person sitting in the sedan must be an important person, and if nothing else happened, he should be the so-called Dark Alliance messenger.
The group of people drove slowly into the valley and stopped on the hillside under the bamboo tower. Then they slowly descended from the soft sedan chair, and a young man walked out of it.
This young man looked to be in his early twenties, and his facial features were quite handsome, but he had an evil aura that made people feel uncomfortable.
After getting off the sedan, the young man whispered a few instructions to an attendant waiting in front of the sedan, and then walked towards the bamboo building on the hillside.
After this person left, the attendant who had bowed his head straightened his back instantly, shouted arrogantly at the group of people in front of him, and began to direct everyone to leave.
After a while, the group of people who came with great fanfare suddenly became confused, and then turned around and began to withdraw from the valley. The originally majestic formation suddenly became chaotic and seemed to be in no order.
So it only took the team four or five minutes to enter the valley, but it took them a full twenty minutes to get out. The efficiency was so slow that Lu Qingyu and others were stunned.
"My dear, this boy's commanding ability is really amazing! If anyone has such a slave, why not worry about being tricked to death!" Mu Yizi smacked his lips and sighed first.
Lu Qingyu glanced at him and said with certainty:
"Don't talk about others. You may not be much better than him if you are in command. I firmly believe this!"[
Mu Yizi was furious: "You..."
"Okay, stop making trouble, hurry up and get down to business!" Hu Dai stepped in to make peace.
Shi En frowned, nodded, and said:
"Well, that's right, let's go, it's time for us to take action!"
