Shu Blossoms

Chapter 27
The trees are overgrown, the herbs are luxuriant, and the murderous aura is everywhere.

If Zheng Wei were here, they would definitely recognize that this was the forest behind the Jinling Temple that they walked through.

It's a long way from where they live.

Somewhere outside the cave halfway up the mountain, a group of masked men in black held sharp swords and cautiously approached the entrance of the cave.

With good eyesight, he could vaguely see two men sitting back to back in the cave.

There were countless wounds on their bodies, large and small, and the blood from the deep wounds kept seeping out, and the clothes on their bodies had turned blood black.

Among them, the more handsome Lang Jun was pale at this time, his breathing was short but weak, and he seemed to be able to fall asleep and never wake up at any time.

"His Royal Highness, you can only go back and ask if you are alive!"

The other man gasped heavily.

"It's not that easy to want my life!"

The low voice of the person called His Highness carried endless killing intent.

If Zheng Wei was here, she would definitely recognize that it was Tuoba Yu and Xia Houqing, whom she had been worried about for a long time.

As early as Mulingguan did not wait for reinforcements, they sensed the conspiracy.

Later, when the magistrate of Banyang was arrested, Tuobayu was even more sure that someone wanted his life.

Lu Shu, the magistrate of Banyang County, had received great kindness from Xiahouqing's father, Xiahouchu, in the previous dynasties, and he always thought of repaying the kindness in his heart.

At the beginning of the year, Xia Houqing found Lu Shu with a letter from Xia Houchu, hoping that he would provide Xia Houqing and them with a temporary shelter.

Lu Shu felt that there was something wrong with the hundreds of strong and powerful men, so he tentatively asked about the origins of Xia Houqing and these people.

Xia Houqing replied that the Xiahou family left a batch of things that could not be transported away in Da Zhou. This time Xia Houchu asked Xia Houqing to transport these things away. appearance.The Xiahou family was the royal family of the previous dynasty, the camel was bigger than the horse, so there must be a lot of good things left, and these things are not easy to publicize.Lu Shu thought he had guessed correctly, and he nodded understandingly and didn't ask any more questions.

The reinforcements planned at that time also entered Dazhou from this line. After all, Lu Shu had already been pulled into the water, and even if he knew the truth, it would be too late to regret it.

The big deal is to take him back to Dawei with him.

It's just that Lu Shu was caught first before the reinforcements arrived.

Xia Houqing felt that Wang Laohan's family could not stay for a long time, so he took Tuoba and the others to Jinling Temple, thinking that if something went wrong, they could leave at any time.

Sure enough, Xiahouqing secretly contacted several strongholds, handed the news of going south to Langya County, and took silver taels and wound medicine.Not long after he left, he found himself being followed.

After fighting and hiding, they got rid of those people.

Xiahouqing reported the situation to Tuobayu. They analyzed that there was a spy inside, but they didn't know whether the spy was in Xiahou's house in Great Wei or a sergeant who followed them.

Xiahouchu's lieutenant told Xiahouqing that the road to the back of the Jinling Temple was told by Xiahouchu. Before, they took the customs clearance documents from Banyang County and went directly to Mulingguan, but their companions did not know it.

If the Xiahou family wanted to kill them and arranged an ambush in the back mountain, the three of them would surely die.

But not only were they safe all the way, they also made some arrangements here.

As for the hundred or so lives and deaths they brought, they couldn't tell the difference between loyalty and treachery.

Xia Houqing thought of this trick to lure snakes out of their holes. They deliberately didn't enter the city and stayed in the town just to see if anyone would come to die.

Xia Houqing was worried about Tuo Bayu's injury, and planned to delay it for a while, but Tuo Bayu felt that now the other party has not fully grasped their whereabouts, and the initiative is still in his own hands.

If you don't take the opportunity to pull this tumor out, after a long time, the enemy will be dark and we will be clear, and what awaits them will be endless assassination.

Sure enough, the uninvited guests refused to miss this opportunity to kill them.

According to the plan, Tuobayu and Xiahouqing led the killer to the woods behind the Jinling Temple, where a big gift was prepared for them.

It is said that the height of one foot is the height of one zhang, and there are always surprises in everything.

Tuobayu and the others may have offended the little ghost like Zheng Wei, their luck is not so bad.

Just when Tuobayu thought they had solved all the assassins, another group of men in black came, and there were more than a dozen people.

At that time, Tuobayu and Xiahouqing had already tried their best to use their means. With the last handful of lime, they temporarily avoided the crowd and fled all the way.

But they were caught up in half an hour and stuck in this cave.

"Fortunately, they were also afraid of having too many dreams at night, and they spent their whole blood trying to take the opportunity to keep me in Dazhou, otherwise they would have wasted our arrangement."

Tuoba Yu gritted his teeth and groaned.

"The head of the man is"

Xia Houqing also saw the clue. I really didn't expect the other party to dispatch such a strong person. This is to avoid future troubles forever.

"But now, we're afraid we're going to stay here."

Xia Houqing sighed.

"Xiahou, I'm the one who implicated you! Hiss!"

Tuo Bayu felt a little guilty and wanted to look back at him, but just this action affected the wound on his body.

Xiahouqing smiled bitterly, "Compared to His Highness, my situation is not much better. If it were not for His Highness's promotion, I would not be where I am today."

"If this is over, in your Chinese words, we are brothers who share life and death and share weal and woe!" Tuobayu suddenly smiled heartily, his voice was not loud, but he was extremely firm.

"If anything goes wrong today, I will die in front of Your Highness!"

Xia Houqing was moved.

The two of you in the cave are like you and me, and the people outside can't wait any longer, only to hear a rough voice shouting: "If you don't come out and die, I will be set on fire."

Tuoba Yu smiled when he heard the words, "It's so ugly to be burned to death, I'm still the top-ranked Meilang-Jun in the big Wei ranks, but the little girl was dumbfounded last time! No way!"

Saying that, he struggled to stand up.

Xia Houqing also smiled, "If you want to die, you will die in battle. How can you be suffocated in this damp and dirty hole, it's too embarrassing!"

After speaking, he first stood up with a knife, then set up Tuobayu, and the two walked out of the cave, supporting each other.

When the people outside heard movement in the pitch-black hole, they drew their bows, and they shot arrows as soon as they came out of the hole.

After a short distance, it took a quarter of an hour before two figures staggered forward. Some people couldn't hold their breath, and the arrow flew out immediately.

Seeing that he was about to shoot at that person, others saw that someone had taken the credit, and hurriedly followed with arrows.

But before the arrow was fired, the arrow that flew out before was shot down before hitting the target, and countless sword qi attacked behind them.

The leader of the man in black was the first to react, flying away from the spot and dodging the attack.

Soon, the two groups were fighting together.

The person who shot down the arrow came to Tuo Bayu and the others, only to see clearly that it was Xiao Yucheng who stole Muling Pass from them that day.

Tuoba Qing's heart turned a thousand times, it was quite complicated, but he knew that he didn't have to die here today.

He still has a chance to go back for revenge!
When Xiao Yucheng saw the tragic state of the two, he knew that they couldn't escape far if they wanted to. Instead of guarding here, they joined the battle group.

The leader of the man in black is quite powerful, and in just a few breaths, several of them have been injured.

After a fierce battle, more than half of the people brought by Xiao Yucheng lost, and the leader of the men in black even escaped with a few people.

Xiao Yucheng stared at the two of them slumped on the ground with a dark face.

　You don't have to stay overnight tonight, and you don't have to go to the hospital tomorrow. You can code words in a down-to-earth way. Happy!
