Phoenix Queen

Xia Ying and his party stood outside the entrance of the cave, clinging to the vines and not daring to go in.

After a while, the light on the cave wall had disappeared. Leng Yu leaned down and pressed his ears against the inner wall. After a long time, he raised his head and said, "Let's go! It's the end, they have stopped."

Baili Fengye got into the hole first, stretched out his hand and knocked around the wall, there was indeed a hollow space in the wall, and the same was true under his feet, "Sure enough!" Baili Fengye raised his eyebrows, not surprised at all. , "There are traps inside, but now...Feng Ye seems to have blocked all the traps."

After walking forward for another twenty meters, after making sure that there was no danger, Baili Fengye waved at Xia Ying, "Ah Ying, come! Follow Fengye, be careful!"

"Okay, come on!" Xia Ying was still looking up at the stars, obviously remembering the location of the cave wall.

Northeast orientation, halfway up the mountain, vines...

Damn it!There is no village in front of this place, no shop in the back, and there is no obvious sign, not even a strange-looking tree!

After another glance, I know the general location, but I can't guarantee that I can find it at any time.

The sound of Baili Fengye's footsteps was far away, Xia Ying didn't stay any longer, and the cat's waist entered the cave wall. Every step she took, she followed the footprints of the pair of red shoes closely. Behind Ye, Xia Ying whispered, "Baili Fengye, you should also be careful."

After the cold rain stopped, while walking, he also dealt with the shoe prints, one footprint at a time, rubbing the dirt downside down.There were only traces of wheels and horseshoes on the original cave wall. The footprints were too conspicuous. If they were not dealt with, they would definitely be discovered the next day.

The cave wall was extremely oppressive and the air was heavy, any tiny movement would give off a huge echo, Baili Fengye and the others wished they could stop breathing.

After walking not far, I finally heard the voices of some people talking from the depths of the cave wall, but I couldn't hear them clearly.

Baili Fengye lowered his voice. If he hadn't disconnected the line and couldn't see the mouth shape, Baili Fengye would definitely speak in a dumb voice, "The person is not far away, so we must pay attention."

Xia Ying nodded, then turned around and told Leng Yu the same story.

The deeper the echo, the louder the echo, and gradually there is some light.

"Look at the top of your head." Xia Ying sighed lightly. If it didn't take seven or eight years to prepare so many of these things, it would be impossible.

Follow Xia Ying's voice and look up...

"Oh my god!" Leng Yu let out a cry of surprise, her feet fluttered, "Damn it! You're so rich."

They didn't dare to light a fire, the cave wall was basically dark, and they didn't see any sparks until they got close, so now they found that the piece above their heads was actually...full of sharp arrows.

Baili Fengye turned around and stepped on the wall to climb up the rock. Even though he was very careful, he still dropped a stone...

If this pebble falls, its echo will attract the attention of everyone in the cave walls!The cold sweat of the cold rain came down all of a sudden!

Fortunately, Xia Ying lifted her belt in an instant... Using the cloth as a rope, she threw it towards the stone and caught it narrowly.

Baili Fengye's expression didn't change at all. Thinking about it, he had already expected Xia Ying's actions.

Strange to say...

This feeling of teaming up... made Xia Ying very familiar!It's the trust that comes from the bottom of her heart. It doesn't need any words, or even any expressions. As long as he is...then, she can know his heart, and she has a tacit understanding like one person.

Xia Ying knew that this kind of feeling had to be experienced through life and death, and had to be tempered battle after battle on the field!

But...she actually had this feeling for him!

Shaking her head without thinking about it, Xia Ying looked at Baili Fengye again.

Baili Fengye was hanging upside down like a bat, walking backwards in extremely slow motion.

After searching for a long time, Baili Fengye jumped down.

"How is it?" Xia Ying leaned over, "These arrows above the head are arranged in a very high density, it is impossible to simply set them up as hidden weapons..."

Looking up at the cold weapons glowing with coldness, Xia Ying continued, "No iron shop dares to make so many weapons...Jing Feng's monitoring of weapons is much better than my brother's."

It doesn't need to be said by Xia Ying, Leng Yu also knows about it, and... In the beginning, the first thing Jing Feng did when he ascended the throne after killing his father was to restrict civilian weapons, and Leng Yu personally conveyed this order.In Huachu, every big blacksmith shop must have a strict report on the amount of iron used every month, and...for arrows, halberds, spears, swords, and daggers, each person has a limit on the amount of purchase of these things Yes, even the big households in Kyoto can't have more than five thousand.

In fact, if it wasn't for the war, Jing Feng's amount would be more than enough.

In addition, Hua Chu has the largest mine in the four countries, and it has always been managed by the imperial court. The officials who opened the mine are definitely people Jing Feng can trust.

However, when Leng Yu thought about it, he understood... Complete monitoring is impossible, there are always some iron ore smugglers!

However, even if you think about more channels... it is impossible to get so many arrows in a short period of time.

Quickly recovering from her thoughts, Leng Yu refocused on the conversation between Baili Fengye and Xia Ying.

"That's right!" Baili Fengye nodded, "Fengye saw clearly just now that the tips of these arrows are very sharp, they must be new, and they are all excellent steel, but... the wood used for the shafts is just Some are new and some are old, some are long and some are short, and there are feathers behind arrow tails, eagle feathers and goose feathers."

Under such light, Xia Ying couldn't see Baili Fengye's expression, but from his voice, Xia Ying could also imagine the guy in red with his lazy and witty phoenix eyes.

"This shows that these arrows are definitely not made in the same batch!" Xia Ying clasped her hands around her chest, tapped her fingers, and continued to analyze, "And the time to collect the arrows is also continuous and short." Unstable, they come from various channels, and may even be bought from other three countries... I can't see the arrows, otherwise, I can recognize the weapons shot by Daxia Blacksmith."

"..." Leng Yu listened quietly, and slapped himself on the head hard. In the same scene, they can think of so many things, why can't he have this ability?At most, he knew that someone had evil intentions and intended to oppose the court.

There was a hint of a chuckle in Xia Ying's voice, "Baili Fengye, if I'm not mistaken... the arrow nocks made of eagle feathers must be from the previous batch, and the nocks made of goose feathers must be the latest."

Baili Fengye nodded, "That's right, Fengye didn't dare to touch these things casually because he was afraid that there would be traps on it, but it can be seen that the goose feathers are the latest batch of arrows... I think it won't take more than half a year .”

"Don't, don't say it! I know... I'm sure I can figure it out." Leng Yu immediately made a stop movement, even though his body language couldn't be seen in the hole, but he stubbornly maintained this movement, After a long time, he scratched his head vigorously, gave up his drooping shoulders, and said in a particularly low tone, "Okay, why? Empress, tell me."

Xia Yingfang said, "The goose feathers are the most, and the production is the most convenient, but the arrows made of goose feathers are of the worst quality... The recent situation has made the arrow makers anxious and nervous, so... ...had to rush to work a lot, ignoring the quality. It can be seen that... this man is hypocritical. The battle must be fought as soon as possible, it is a matter of time."

Even a person's psychological state can be analyzed, Leng Yu is completely impressed by these two people!

"Ah Ying is right." Baili Fengye looked at Xia Ying affectionately in the dark.

It turns out... just looking at her so presumptuously is such a pleasant thing, "Feng Ye looked at some feathered arrows, some were poisoned, and the tips of the arrows were not pure silver white... some were black. There is red! The one with the goose feathers has not been dealt with in time. Besides... besides the arrow, there must be other things, time is too tight, and Feng Ye has no time to look at it."

"There may be more than one place like this..." Xia Ying's eyes dimmed, "I don't know if Yu Quantai will also find a place."

Baili Fengye walked forward, Xia Ying also followed, and Leng Yu was the last to dock her tail.

With a slight smile, the man in red squinted at Feng Mi and threatened, "If Feng Ye were you, you would definitely not follow me."

From that non-gentle tone, Leng Yu instantly knew that Baili Fengye was talking to him, suppressed his beating heart, and asked in a low voice, "Why? Prince Baili!"

"Because..." Baili Fengye dragged his tone, with a bit of cunning in his eyes, but no one could see, "This happened in Hua Chu, Feng Ye and Ah Ying are happy to hear about it... If you don't miss a word Just tell Jing Feng that things are going to be over!" Baili Fengye blinked, but his tone suddenly turned cold, "Feng Ye can kill, kill, destroy, and speak."

At the end of the sentence, Xia Ying could hear Leng Yu swallowing her saliva.

Baili Fengye continued to walk forward... After thinking for a long time, Leng Yu still chased after her.

"Did you die?" Xia Ying knew that Baili Fengye was scaring Leng Yu.

Swallowing again, Leng Yu's tone trembled, "I used to think that my martial arts were not bad, but I couldn't compare with Prince Baili. If he really wanted to kill me, he wouldn't be able to survive anyway..." Leng Yu looked desperate, "I...I bet Baili Shizi would not be so kind before killing someone, and...he even called the police." After a pause, Leng Yu moved a little closer behind Xia Ying, "Empress...you have to protect your subordinates! I am a very capable subject."

I don't know why, but in Leng Yu's heart, Xia Ying and Hua Chu have been consciously grouped together. Baili Fengye may be an outsider, but Xia Ying is not... Maybe it's because Jing Feng keeps mentioning him in front of them. Unconsciously, they felt that Xia Ying and Jing Feng were on the same side.
