There are too many people in this world who have bad luck, but it is rare to be as unlucky as Zhou Jue.
Of course, if the secret guard were to explain, it would have to be attributed to Shen Xiaoshou - in short, as long as Madam is here, everything is possible.
Because this black-robed man who set up a formation in the deserted village turned out to be the Five Ghosts Old Taoist who disappeared twenty years ago. At first, the whole Jianghu failed to find him, but they didn't expect to meet him here by accident. .
"Old Turtle?" Oliver was shocked by this name. Uncle, you are really childlike.
"You did a lot of evil back then, and you thought you couldn't stand the pressure and jumped into the sea to commit suicide." Asher said, "I really overestimated how thick your skin was."
The old Taoist Five Ghosts looked disdainful, obviously very hard-headed.
In fact, he was probably the most courageous of all the rebels present.
"You also set up the snowfield maze?" Ye Jin asked.
The old Taoist Five Ghosts sneered and did not answer. He was very cold.
Then the next moment, he was held down and beaten by Ye Jin.
Oliver:...
"You!" The old Taoist Five Ghost's face was full of dirt, and he was obviously very angry.
"What's wrong with me?" Ye Jin rolled up his sleeves and glared, "Any objections?!"
The old Taoist Five Ghost's chest heaved violently, "Do you know who I am?!"
Ye Jin said simply, "I don't know!"
Oliver almost laughed out loud.
The old Taoist Wugui had a mouthful of blood rushing to his chest. More than 20 years ago, he was well-known in the martial arts world. No matter which sect or school he belonged to, he would always give him some face when he met him. Who would have thought that today, he would be humiliated by a young man like this.
Since being encircled and suppressed by the Righteous Alliance, his internal strength has been severely damaged and he has been hiding on the island to recuperate. A year ago, I don’t know where Zhou Jue got the news. He actually came to invite him in person and promised to repay him, so he followed him to the Northeast. He didn’t know about the changes in the martial arts in the Central Plains. As for the famous man in the world, Asher and others only regarded it as the younger generation who had gained a reputation in vain, and did not take it completely to heart.
But I never expected that I would suffer a loss in the end.
"It looks like he's not going to say anything." Ye Jin clapped his hands and stood up, "Kill him."
"Are you threatening me?" The old Taoist Wugui had a grim expression.
"I'm threatening you?" Ye Jin said disdainfully, "You wish."
Five Ghosts Old Way:...
Asher unsheathed his sword and put it on his neck. The Crimson Shadow Sword seemed to be able to sense the coming bloody aura. It was so excited that even the blade of the sword was trembling slightly. If you listen carefully, there is a buzzing sound.
"If you kill me, you'll never be able to leave the snowfield again!" No one wants to die in vain, and the Five Ghosts Taoist is no exception.
"Now I admit that you are the one who set up the formation." Ye Jin said, "The smoke formation in the canyon is probably your fault."
The old man of Five Ghosts smiled ferociously, "So what?"
"It's really you." Ye Jin nodded at Asher, "Go ahead."
"Are you sure?" Asher said, "What if we kill the poisoned soldiers in the mist formation?"
When this matter was mentioned, the expression of the Five Ghost Master became more and more arrogant, and even Shen Xiaoshou couldn't help but want to beat him up after seeing it.
"What are you afraid of? I've already got this anyway." Ye Jin took out a flower from the bag, "Of course I can save everyone. This old man died twenty years ago. There is no need to keep him alive. Kill him." Clean."
"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Five Ghosts Old Taoist sneered, "Even if you get the snow peony, it's not easy to prepare the antidote!"
"It turns out it's really the antidote." Ye Jin put the flowers back.
... The old Taoist Wugui widened his eyes.
"I wasn't sure before. We were blackmailing you." Shen Xiaoshou reminded him, which was very considerate.
The old Taoist Wugui spat out a mouthful of blood, obviously feeling very aggrieved.
"I've asked all the questions I need to ask. You really don't need to live any longer." Ye Jin said, "What is the antidote formula? You can tell me whether you want to or not. I have plenty of ways to find it. As for the snowfield maze, since you don't plan to tell me, no one will ask you to tell me. Besides, maybe after I kill you, the formation will naturally break, which will save trouble."
"Then just kill me!" The old Taoist Wugui said with a stiff neck.
Asher raised his hand and slapped his hand, Wugui Lao Dao spit out a mouthful of blood, and his whole body went limp. It was unclear whether he was dead or fainted.
"Who among you knows how to get out?" Ye Jin asked.
The rebel brother's face was pale. It was obvious that he had never seen such a well-known and upright person. During the interrogation, he even blackmailed and deceived him. Until now, he still hasn't figured out how to get out of the snowy field, and why he beat someone to death.
"We don't know." A brave rebel said tremblingly, "The five ghosts led the way. We just followed them. It took a lot of detours to get here. We have never been here before."
"Detour?" Ye Jin touched his chin.
"Yes." The rebel nodded repeatedly.
"Tell me everything else you can think of." Ye Jin said, "I think you haven't done anything harmful to the world yet. If you are willing to cooperate, you can save your life."
The group of rebels had been trembling with fear for a long time, just waiting for these words. When they heard Ye Jin say that he could spare their lives, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and racked their brains to recall, fearing that they would miss any details.
"No compass?" Ye Jin touched his chin.
"Yes." The rebel said, "Before we set out, someone specifically asked Wugui about it, but he said it was not necessary."
"Is there anything else unusual?" Ye Jin asked.
"When we were rushing here, we rested for a day." The rebel said, "There was no snowstorm that day, but the weather was a bit gloomy. Logically speaking, it shouldn't have stopped."
"You have to rely on the sun to find your way, and naturally you can't walk when it's cloudy." Ye Jin raised her lips and glanced at Asher, "Try it?"
Asher nodded and whistled. Then, Taxuebai and Lucongyu, who had been wandering outside the village, came galloping over. Ye Jin tied up the Five Ghosts Taoist priest and threw him on his horse. Asher also took Oliver on his horse. The rebels looked at each other in bewilderment. They were leaving now?
"Palace Master Qin." Someone from the rebel army tried to test, "We..."
"Is there any food left in the village?" Asher asked.
"Yes." The rebel nodded.
If you can break out of the snowfield, then go do it yourself. If you have the ability to reach the Chu army camp, someone will naturally bring you to see me. "Asher said, "If you can't break out, then hide here. Maybe Zhou Jue will come to take you back. "
"Please, Palace Master Qin, take us out." The rebels knelt down one after another. In this situation, even if they could return to the underground palace, they would probably be dead. Moreover, even the Five Ghosts Taoist priests were gone. There was an endless snowfield around them, and there was also a maze to interfere. How could they get out?
"Determine the direction of the sun according to the sunrise every morning, and then walk straight south." Ye Jin said, "The snowfield will have a holiday phenomenon. Except in the early morning, no matter where you see the sun, don't disturb others and you will naturally be able to go out."
"Palace Master Qin---" The rebels wanted to say something, but Taxuebai had already let out a long neigh towards the sky and ran out. Lucongyu followed closely behind him and soon disappeared at the entrance of the village.
"This is the first time I've seen a captive like this." Oliver said, "He cried and begged us to take him back."
"They are just some cowards who are greedy for life and afraid of death." Asher said, "They don't even want to suffer this little bit, let alone fight." In fact, if it were normal times, it would not be a bad idea to take them out together, and maybe we could get some more information. But now hundreds of soldiers in the vanguard are still unconscious, and comparing the two, it is clear which side is more important.
"What should I do with Young Master Liancheng?" Oliver asked, "He is still in the snowfield."
"Don't worry, with the snow wolf here, he won't get lost." Asher said, "The snowfield maze was definitely not built in a day, and it's probably not built specifically for us. We just happened to catch up. If it weren't for the snow wolf leading the way, we probably wouldn't have found the snow peony smoothly if we had walked on our own."
Oliver nodded and retracted his face into his cloak.
In the vast snowfield, two peerless horses galloped all the way, their speed was like thunder and lightning. A few days later, Oliver found that as his sister-in-law said, except for the early morning, the sun's position in the snowfield would be reflected from time to time, and the compass would be disturbed by some magnetic field and would appear to be reversed. No wonder several people lost their way.
On the afternoon of the fifth day, the familiar wisp of smoke and a familiar figure finally appeared ahead.
"Brother?" Oliver was puzzled as to why he appeared here.
Ye Jin was also a little puzzled. Before he could say anything after he got off the horse, Shen Qianfeng had already strode forward and hugged him in his arms.
Shen Xiaoshou sighed, this scene of lovers reuniting was so touching.
"What's wrong?" Ye Jin patted his back.
"What did you say?" Shen Qianfeng's voice was a little hoarse, "Young Master Liancheng came back this morning and said that you should have arrived four days ago. Now Qianfan is ordering troops, preparing to rush into the snowy field to find people."
Ye Jin:...
"What happened?" Shen Qianfeng covered his cheeks that were red by the wind.
"We have gained something." Ye Jin pointed at the green jade behind him, "There is a maze in the snowfield. Fortunately, the army did not move forward. In addition, we also found the Five Ghosts Taoist."
"Five ghosts?" Shen Qianfeng was surprised, "The one who disappeared twenty years ago?"
"Yes." Ye Jin nodded, "I found it in a deserted village. Asher knocked it out."
Green Horse Yu had carried him all the way and had been unhappy for a long time. When they finally arrived at this time, she shook her body and threw him off, and came to Shen Qianfeng to comfort him.
"Brother." Oliver and Asher also came over.
"Go back first." Shen Qianfeng rubbed his head, "If it's later, the army will probably set off."
"How could something happen to us?" Valley Master Ye was as arrogant as ever.
Shen Qianfeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, this guy's temper...
The Chu army camp was already noisy. This time I heard that Asher and others were back, and I was relieved. Ye Jin didn't bother to explain to everyone, and hurriedly washed her face and went to prepare the medicine. After hearing about the snowy field formation, Shen Qianfan felt a little lucky. According to what the previous group of rebels said, Zhou Jue planned to build a few more maze formations in the snowfield. Unfortunately, his luck was not good, and one was destroyed as soon as he built one. The secret guard at the back is extremely proud. She is indeed my wife. She can lose sight of the rebel conspiracy if she gets lost. It is worth letting everyone touch their little hands to share good luck.
"One more thing." Shen Qianfan said, "We found an underground hot spring."
"Really?" Oliver was surprised.
Shen Qianfan nodded, "King Mu found it. It is said that he saw a snow rabbit in the ravine, so he happily jumped down to catch it. As a result, he accidentally found several springs."
Oliver:...
If a king jumps down a ravine to catch a rabbit... he will lose his country...
"What's the next plan?" Asher asked.
"Now the Chu army is digging the water channel." Shen Qianfan said, "It will take more than a month to successfully dig through it and introduce the hot spring into the underground palace."
Daohun said, "It will take at least 20 days for the army to rush from here to the main hall of the underground palace. Although we don't know where the entrance to the main hall is, there is no need to look for it carefully. If the hot water is backflowing, Zhou Jue will come out by himself."
"Then there's no need to delay it any longer." Asher said, "Save us from getting into trouble later."
Shen Qianfan nodded and discussed the next plan with everyone. It was decided that Shen Qianfeng and Ye Jin would stay here, while the rest of the people would lead the army to the main hall, and wait until the hot springs flooded and the rebels fled, so that they could catch them all in one fell swoop.
Later in the evening, the guard came to report that the Five Ghosts had woken up and were clamoring for food.
"He's starving." Asher said coldly, "When the army is on the march, food and grass are so important. Where can we give him anything to eat?"
Shen Xiaoshou silently gave his man a thumbs up, well said!
So the Five Ghosts Taoist priest, who had been so arrogant for a long time, ended up with only half a steamed bun and a bowl of hot water.
The Taoist Wugui didn't even look at it, just waved his hand and threw it away, obviously showing great disdain.
The steamed bun rolled on the ground. Shen Qianfeng bent down to pick it up, his eyes cold.
"Are you Shen Qianfeng?" The old Taoist Wugui looked him up and down. Although he had not set foot in the Central Plains martial arts world in recent years, he had seen many portraits, so he recognized him at a glance.
"If I were you, I would eat this bun." Shen Qianfeng said, "Because if I don't eat it, I will just be hungry."
The old Taoist Wugui sneered, "You brought me all the way from the deserted village to the Chu army camp just to starve me to death? Stop talking nonsense and prepare some wine and food quickly."
"I brought you here because Xiaojin is cautious." Shen Qianfeng stood in front of him. "Although he was sure, he couldn't be 100% sure that he would find Miyan Yao, so he brought you back. But now it seems Come on, I might as well kill you with one blow."
The old Taoist Wugui said arrogantly, "I'm afraid you won't be willing to give me up. I can be used for more than just detoxification."
"That's wrong. Your only use is to detoxify, but this use is not important now, because Xiao Jin has found the antidote for the smoke." Shen Qianfeng said, "Or you don't need to prepare the medicine at all. Snow peony can detoxify. Pick three or five fresh ones and eat them. Now most of the soldiers in the vanguard team have woken up."
When the old Taoist Five Ghost heard this, his face instantly turned pale.
"As for whether you are useful for anything else, no one is interested." Shen Qianfeng said in a cold tone, "Besides, even if you really want to surrender, you have countless bad deeds in the past, and no one will believe what you say now. Any soldier of my Great Chu is more valuable than your master. I will not take risks with them just to verify whether what you say is true or false."
The old Taoist Wugui moved his lips but said nothing. He was somewhat horrified in his heart.
To be fair, he always felt that he was a close person to Zhou Jue. If the Chu army wanted to attack the rebels, they would have to get something out of him. The fact that Ye Jin had gone to so much trouble to bring him here from the deserted village just proved this point, so he was so arrogant and domineering. But what he never expected was that in Shen Qianfeng's eyes, he was actually worthless.
"Someone come here!" Shen Qianfeng said.
"Young Master." Several shadow guards filed in.
"Find two people to secretly escort him back to the Chu Kingdom and temporarily hand him over to the leader of the Wuxue Sect." Shen Qianfeng said, "If he dies on the way, just bury him on the spot."
"Yes!" The secret guard took the order, found a rope to tie him up, and dragged him out. The old Taoist Wugui was still thinking about what to say, but Shen Qianfeng had already turned around and left, leaving him no chance.
The secret guard threw the man onto the horse, packed up his luggage, and galloped out of the military camp, heading all the way south.
The Jianghu mascots who were originally practicing martial arts with the soldiers saw this from afar and were very surprised. So they gathered around and asked their friends in Sun Moon Villa what the two men were doing. As expected, they did not get an answer and felt a little depressed.
How can this be? The attitude is so unfriendly.
If this continues, how can we build a harmonious world?
He doesn't think about Leader Shen at all, which is very worrying.
"Xiao Jin." After finishing the work, it was almost evening. Shen Qianfeng entered the tent and saw Ye Jin sleeping on the table.
"You're not afraid of catching a cold." Shen Qianfeng picked him up.
"What time is it?" Ye Jin asked vaguely.
"It's time for dinner." Shen Qianfeng shook him, "Eat something before going to bed."
"I'll go check the medical account again." Ye Jin stood up, yawning.
"I've already checked. Everyone is awake and in good health." Shen Qianfeng held him back, "On the other hand, you don't have any blood on your face."
"It's okay." Ye Jin walked to the bed, "I'll sleep a little longer."
Shen Qianfeng was helpless, "I haven't eaten yet."
"I won't eat anymore." Ye Jin got back into bed, pulled the quilt over and covered her head.
Shen Qianfeng sighed inwardly, asked the kitchen to bring some soup and rice, forcibly carried the person out and fed him a bowl, and only put him back into bed after he finished rinsing his mouth.
After being worried for so many days, Ye Jin finally got rid of the drug. He felt that the tense nerves had finally relaxed, and were replaced by overwhelming sleepiness. He didn't even want to open his eyes, and naturally he was not in the mood to be arrogant. Therefore, he didn't get angry after being woken up. He just hummed a few words of dissatisfaction, ate a bowl of rice obediently, and soon fell into a sweet dream again.
Although they were poisoned before, the vanguards were all rough men after all, and they were used to going through wind and rain in the past. Therefore, after taking the antidote, they recovered in a few days. Shen Qianfan also gave the order, and the army officially set off three days later.
During these three days, the army was not idle. One group of people wrote notes, and another group of people rubbed wax, making thousands of wax balls. There was a small note in each wax ball, which summarized as follows: Although you joined the rebels in a moment of stupidity, the King of Chu is kind-hearted, so if you give up resistance and surrender, you will be spared, and whoever captures Zhou Jue will receive a thousand taels of gold, which is a good deal.
Oliver shook his sore wrist and said with a smile, "Zhou Jue would probably be pissed to death if he saw this."
"Yeah." Asher rubbed his hands, "I won't write anymore. It's almost done."
"It better work." Oliver said, "Otherwise it would be a shame for everyone to be in the dark." Recently, no one has been lighting candles at night, so everyone in the province has been making wax balls.
"Darkness is not bad either." Asher touched his chin.
Shen Xiaoshou looked at him with disgust and said, "Dirty!" Touching other people's bu.ttocks while it's dark is very vulgar, isn't it?
"I didn't say anything." Asher laughed, "It's obvious that Ling'er is thinking too much."
Shen Xiaoshou kicked him and didn't bother to care.
"Ah Huang's handwriting is so beautiful." Mu Hanye praised.
Huang Taixian dried the ink stains and placed it on Mu Hanye's forehead.
King Qi Jue lamented, "I have become more and more rebellious recently."
"So what?" Wong Tai Sin looked at him.
Mu Hanye said calmly, "I am naturally very happy."
"It should be almost done." Huang Taixian put down his pen, "Let's go and send the sealing wax over."
"Ah Huang." Mu Hanye hugged him from behind.
"What's wrong?" Huang Taixian was helpless and patted his hand gently, "Don't make trouble."
"The war will be over soon." Mu Hanye said, "Can you take me to Jiangnan?"
"What are you going to Jiangnan for?" Wong Tai Sin was puzzled, "Are you going to Sun Moon Villa?"
"I want to go to Ah Huang's hometown." Mu Hanye said.
Wong Tai Sin was stunned for a moment and said, "Even I have never been there myself."
"That's great, we can go together." Mu Hanye whispered in his ear, "I want to go."
"It's just an ordinary village." Wong Tai Sin said.
"Yeah." Mu Hanye hugged him tighter, "But I just want to go."
Wong Tai Sin found it a little funny and looked back at him.
Mu Hanye's eyes sparkled.
I'm afraid there is no such a willful emperor in this world... Huang Taixian reached out and touched the side of his face, "Okay, after this battle, we will go to Jiangnan together."
Mu Hanye pressed his forehead against his, with a gentle smile in his eyes.
The night was silent on the snowy plain, with stars twinkling in the sky. The aurora in the sky was dazzling like fireworks, and finally gradually disappeared into the sunlight. The morning mist was gently blown away by the wind, and the sound of the horn rose to the sky, resounding in every corner of the Chu army camp.
Shen Qianfan was wearing silver armor, holding a spear and riding a horse, standing in front of thousands of troops, with the morning sun in his eyes.
"The great Chu will win!" Tens of thousands of soldiers shared the same hatred of the enemy and shouted loudly.
Shen Qianfeng and Ye Jin stood in front of the camp, watching the army leave until they finally disappeared into the snowfield.
In order to avoid falling into the maze of snowfields again, the group only relied on the morning sun as a guide. Hundreds of snow wolves followed the army, extremely mighty, Maoqiu lay on the wolf king, sleeping comfortably, with a bit of the aura of a dandy.
Of course, even if he is a dandy boy, he must be a mighty dandy boy.
After all, not every bird can have such a cool skill as the Thunderbolt Shot...
In the first twenty days, the journey was extremely peaceful and smooth, but one morning, everyone was blocked by a pack of snow wolves. Taxuebai and Lucongyu felt a little uneasy and kept pacing in place.
"What's wrong?" Oliver frowned slightly.
"There's something wrong with the canyon ahead." Asher said, "Otherwise the beasts wouldn't be moving so strangely."
"Is there an ambush?" Oliver asked.
"I can't say." Asher helped him get off the horse, and Shen Qianfan and others also came over.
"What's going on?" Asher asked.
"I don't know." Shen Qianfan said, "The wolves have been blocking the front. The vanguard wanted to go in to find out, but they were blocked by the wolf king."
"I'll go in and take a look." Mu Hanye said.
"I am with King Mu." Liancheng Guyue said, "The Snow Wolf must have discovered something."
Shen Qianfan nodded, "Everyone, be careful."
Mu Hanye turned his head to look at Wong Tai Sin.
"I'll go with you too." said Wong Tai Sin.
Mu Hanye shook his head, "I can't bear to do that."
In front of everyone, Wong Tai Sin felt a little embarrassed.
"Wait for me to come back." Mu Hanye patted his shoulder, turned around and went into the mountain with Liancheng Guyue. Huang Daxian watched his back gradually disappear, his eyes unable to hide his worry.
"Don't worry." Oliver comforted softly, "King Mu will be fine."
Wong Tai Sin nodded and sighed inwardly.
After Mu Hanye and Liancheng Guyue entered the canyon, they did not notice any ambush. They wanted to continue walking inside but were caught by the snow wolf. So they simply followed it and walked up a hill.
"What's unusual here?" Mu Hanye was puzzled.
Liancheng Guyue shook his head, knelt down and rubbed Xue Lang's head.
The Wolf King stood on the rock, first rushed down and howled, then turned to look at the two people with a somewhat violent expression.
"There's something unusual down there." Liancheng Guyue said, "The Wolf King must have smelled some danger."
"Is there really an ambush?" Mu Hanye asked, "But neither you nor I noticed it. It is impossible for the rebels to have such a powerful person."
"That's not a human being." Liancheng Guyue looked around and saw a huge ice stone in front of her, so she jumped up, gathered all her inner strength and stepped over it.
The ice stone was impacted by an external force. After shaking a few times, it rolled down the cliff with a roar, carrying countless broken ice and fine snow along the way, and fell mist down the canyon.
In an instant, a huge explosion sounded from underground, the ice and rocks were instantly blown into pieces, and even the cliffs were shaken. The snow on the mountain fell down with a rustling sound, and the explosion in the canyon was deafening. It was obvious that a large amount of explosives was buried underground.
The Chu army outside was also startled by the noise. Huang Daxian's face turned pale and he instinctively wanted to rush in, but was stopped by Asher, "Brother Mu will be fine."
The sound of explosions continued. Wong Tai Sin's palms were cold and his brain felt as if it had been washed with water. He could only stare at the exit of the canyon.
After a while, silence finally returned to the canyon, and the middle path was completely blocked. The snow mixed with black soil almost piled up into a hill.
The white wolf king jumped out and returned to the pack. The fur ball chirped and lay on its front paws, expressing serious praise. Lian Cheng Gu Yue also walked out. His body was covered with snow and he looked a little embarrassed. However, there was no trace of Mu Hanye who had gone in with him before. Huang Daxian's body softened and even his lips lost color in an instant.
Oliver asked, "Where is King Mu?"
Liancheng Guyue said tangledly, "It's still inside."
"Why don't you come out?" Oliver was puzzled.
Liancheng Guyue said, "I'm fixing my hair."
Others felt as if they were hallucinating.
"Ah Huang!" came a familiar voice, and Mu Hanye ran over from a distance. He was neatly dressed and had a handsome hairstyle. He was indeed not on the same level as Liancheng Guyue.
Wong Tai Sin wanted to cry and laugh at the same time.
He almost thought so just now...but fortunately, he was just overthinking.
"Why is Ah Huang so pale?" Mu Hanye held his hand.
The others looked at him speechlessly. After what happened just now, it was good enough that he didn't faint.
Not to mention you're still getting your hair done in there!
"Why is the journey so peaceful?" Asher said, "Maybe they are waiting for us here."
"It's just these dirty tricks." Shen Qianfan said, "I don't dare to have a single person, so I just bury a bunch of explosives for a sneak attack."
"Seeing that the army is about to press at the door of his house, he will naturally find a way to stop it." Oliver said, "They are just clowns, nothing to be afraid of."
The secret guard immediately clapped proudly, Madam was right!
"Let's take a detour." Liancheng Guyue said, "Everyone has to work harder today. We have agreed with Leader Shen on the time. We cannot delay even a day."
Shen Qianfan nodded and ordered the army to speed up, climb over the mountains and bypass the canyons, and continue to advance towards the Far North Underground Palace. The opportunity must not be wasted.
"At the last moment, will Zhou Jue fight us to the death?" Oliver asked Asher.
Asher said, "If he really has this courage, he is a real man, but I am afraid he will hide in the underground palace until his death. Those rebels are nothing more than a mob. How can they be compared with the elite soldiers and generals of Chu? I am afraid they have already wet their pants before the battle."
"Such a cowardly fellow actually allowed the Chu army to advance into the snowfield in such a mighty manner. It's enough to brag about it." Oliver curled his lips.
"If he had been staying peacefully in the Northeast, I'm afraid Chu Yuan wouldn't bother to pay attention to him even if he knew he was a descendant of the Zhou family." Asher said, "But he is restless, relying on his ancestral property, and adding Chu Yuan naturally couldn't stand it, even if he was just a little mosquito, buzzing in his ears all the time, it was enough to make him irritated. "
"The only skill he has left is to fool people." Oliver said, "But if you think about it carefully, it's better not to have this skill." After all, if he had no special skills, he could just stay in the underground palace and live a peaceful life, and maybe he could have a good ending. But he happened to have some crooked little skills, so he was courting death like this, and no one could stop him.
"So I will end up in the near future, and I can't blame others." Asher said, "Everything is his own fault." After saying this, he flicked his riding whip in the air, making a crisp sound in the air. Ta Xuebai let out a long hiss and spread his hooves forward, like white lightning.
One month later in the afternoon, everyone finally arrived at the main hall of the underground palace. Just like the rest of the place, it was covered with white snow, without even a hint of other colors.
Shen Qianfan ordered the army to stop advancing and set up camp on the spot. Oliver stood in the tent and jumped, and Asher happened to see him, so he smiled and pinched his face, "Are you going to show your true colors?"
"What?" Oliver pushed him away and asked, "Could Zhou Jue be down there?"
"Yes." Asher said seriously, "So Ling'er must stay in the arms of the husband at all times to avoid being taken away."
Oliver:...
Could you be any more boring?
"Don't worry." Asher poured him a cup of tea, "The underground palace is made of huge rocks. Even if Zhou Jue wants to get up and catch you, he still has to think about whether a big hole will cause the entire underground palace to collapse."
"With tens of thousands of Chu troops weighing on their heads, the rebels probably won't be able to sleep tonight." Oliver said seriously, "Maybe they will have nightmares!"
"It would be best if you were scared to death." Asher pressed him onto the bed, "How about a little humming?"
The topic change speed is a little faster! Oliver's eyes widened, "Now?" It's not dark yet, young hero, are you being too bold?
"Just think, below are the anxious rebels." Asher flicked his little nose, "But we are umming, don't you feel good?"
"Not at all!" Shen Xiaoshou burst into tears. What a godly evil taste!
But Asher obviously didn't intend to let him go. He kept pressing him and even tried to tease Xiao Xiaoling.
Oliver protested desperately and would rather die than surrender. The furball wriggled in to look at its parents, and when they found that they were hugging each other again, they immediately sighed from the bottom of their hearts.
What a disappointment to the bird...there was absolutely nothing else to do!
"Save me!" Shen Xiaoshou reached out to his son.
The furball jumped and ran over.
Asher picked it up casually and considered whether to throw it away.
"Dare!" Oliver glared at the man.
Asher raised his eyebrows and put his son next to the pillow.
"Chiu?" The furry ball with little black eyes was a little confused, because it was already prepared to be thrown, and even spread its cute little short wings.
Oliver took the opportunity to hold his son and rolled to the innermost part, but he obviously overlooked one thing, that is, the tent was not as strong as the wall, and it would be deformed if it rolled casually. So after a scream, he fell through the gap between the bed and the tent while holding his son.
"Chirp!" Maoqiu was a little excited. Although he didn't know what happened, it seemed to be a little fun.
Asher was startled and quickly got him out, laughing unsympathetically.
"Smile again!" Shen Xiaoshou was filled with grief and anger.
Asher said seriously, "I didn't laugh."
"It's weird that you didn't laugh." Shen Xiaoshou slapped him very fiercely.
Asher pulled him into his arms, lowered his head and k!ssed him.
Maoqiu lay on the quilt, yawning lazily.
A family of three is really warm.
The night was extremely quiet, and the stars twinkled in the sky, forming a dazzling galaxy.
The next morning, Oliver sat up and yawned.
"Not awake?" Asher pinched his cheek.
"I've been dreaming." Oliver said, "I dreamed that Zhou Jue would come to attack us."
"I told you long ago that he doesn't have the courage." Asher helped him wipe his face.
"I didn't even dream about his appearance." Oliver raised his head obediently.
After Asher wiped his face, he stretched out his hand and pinched his nose, "No matter what he looks like!"
"I'm curious after all." Oliver said seriously, "It's human nature."
"If you hurry up, you can see him tomorrow." Asher said, "Or if Zhou Jue has a seizure and runs out, you can see him today. How about we make a bet?"
"No gambling." Oliver refused.
Asher laughed, "You didn't even ask me what I wanted to bet on."
"What else can you bet on?" Shen Xiaoshou expressed his contempt for his man. He was either taking off his clothes or touching his belly, and maybe even humming. You can tell the answer just by thinking with your toes!
"We can change one this time." Asher said, "It's your turn to touch my belly."
I don’t have such weird habits! Shen Xiaoshou slapped him away and went out to find the others.
The camp was filled with smoke from cooking fires, and it looked very peaceful. Oliver strolled around with Little Phoenix in his arms for a while, then looked at the dark mass of Chu troops on the open ground, and felt that... this battle really had no beginning.
Based on the small fry captured earlier, it was estimated that even if tens of thousands of them came, it would not be a problem. They were not on the same level as the Chu army at all.
"Ling'er." Shen Qianfan came over from a distance, "Why are you running around?"
"Come out and get some fresh air." Oliver asked, "Is there any unusual movement around?"
Shen Qianfan shook his head, "Nothing."
"Will Zhou Jue run away?" Oliver asked.
"According to his personality, he shouldn't do that." Shen Qianfan said, "He has been planning for more than 20 years. If he runs away now, he will lose everything. Besides, he doesn't know that we are going to use the underground hot springs to backflow. I guess he has set up a trap in the underground palace and is waiting for us."
Oliver said from the bottom of his heart, "It sounds really stupid."
"It's stupid, but it's also true." Shen Qianfan smiled, "For me, I hope he is as stupid as possible."
In the other tent, Mu Hanye was asking Huang Daxian, "Want to go out for a walk?"
"There is snow all around, what's the point of walking?" Wong Tai Sin was obviously not interested.
"After all, this is where you have been." Mu Hanye said, "I want to take a look."
Wong Tai Sin helped him make his bed.
Mu Hanye added, "And maybe we can meet Zhou Jue."
"Unless he has a mental disorder, he would not have escaped on his own." Wong Tai Sin sat beside the bed, "You overestimate him."
"I didn't overestimate him." Mu Hanye defended, "I just wanted to find an excuse to go out for a walk."
Huang Daxian was a little speechless, and patted his cheek with his hand, "Stop it."
"Okay." Mu Hanye sat on the bed, "Then after the battle tomorrow, we'll go for a walk around."
Why are you so obsessed... Wong Tai Sin couldn't laugh or cry, and nodded perfunctorily in agreement.
Hundreds of miles away, Shen Qianfeng and Ye Jin were standing on the mountain, inspecting the digging status of the water diversion channel. Jian Soul was also with them - firstly, she knew the direction of the water veins better than anyone else, and secondly, because she was pregnant, Sword Soul did not allow her to go with the army.
"It's almost done." After the inspection, Jian Po said, "We only need to bundle hundreds of thunderbolts together and ignite them to explode the last barrier and introduce the underground hot springs into the underground palace."
Shen Qianfeng nodded and looked at each other with Ye Jin, both seeing the same meaning in each other's eyes.
After such a long time, I have waited for this day...
