The reborn poisonous woman is hard to abandon

Chapter 333
Qianyun Mountain is about a hundred feet high, and the higher you go, the more sparse the trees on the mountain.

Looking down from the top of the cliff, a layer of mist shone between the valleys, and everything below the mountain became hazy and unreal.

The mountain wind blew past, and the robes of the two people on the edge of the cliff were rolled up high, making a violent sound.

One of them was dressed in black, with a cloak on his head, and a metal mask on his face. Under the reflection of the sun, his mask showed a silvery light.

"After crossing this mountain, we will be able to escape from the capital. I don't know what the prince's plans are in the future?"

Huo Yuan's voice was mixed with the mountain wind and reached Zhao Yan's ears. Zhao Yan withdrew his gaze and turned his head: "Why does this king want to cross this mountain?"

"My lord, you..."

Huo Yuan looked at Zhao Yan in surprise, not understanding what he meant.

Didn't they climb to the top of Qianyun Mountain just to escape from the capital?Could it be that Zhao Yan wanted to fight to the death with the pursuers here?
For a moment, Huo Yuan's eyes suddenly became strange.

"Master Huo, do you feel regretful?"

Zhao Yan turned around, his gaze stayed on his face for a moment, and a hint of sarcasm suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

On the night of the rebellion, he ordered Huo Yuan to supervise Huo Xun, and then Huo Xun turned against him, but Huo Yuan didn't let anyone pass the news to him.If he hadn't sent someone to sneak into Xiao's mansion to take Xiao Ruan away, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to meet him at all.

Huo Yuan thought that Zhao Yan would never be easily caught by the crown prince, so he immediately followed him all the way, and wanted to kill Xiao Ruan to take revenge on the way. Such a despicable person also opened Zhao Yan's eyes.

However, Zhao Yan didn't have much anger towards Huo Yuan.

The main reason for this defeat was that he believed Huo Xun credulously. If he had listened to Huo Yuan's warning, he would have already ascended the throne by now.

Moreover, he was disfigured by himself, and he couldn't take revenge if he had a grudge, so there must be a lot of resentment in his heart.

"My lord Mingjian, since I decided to follow you, I have never thought of leaving. No matter what the future holds for my lord, I am willing to follow you and never leave."

Huo Yuan's mind was seen through, and he lowered his eyes pretending to be loyal, but Zhao Yan snorted coldly and did not expose it.

"Master Huo, I know you have always hated Huo Xun, this time I will give you a chance to kill your enemy, would you like it?"

Hearing these words suddenly, Huo Yuan raised his head in surprise, only to find that Zhao Yan's eyes were firm, and he didn't seem to be joking at all.

The winner is the king, the loser is the bandit, and now they have been forced to flee.Zhao Yan said that he could help him kill his enemies, which is unbelievable.

Pursing the corners of his lips, Huo Yuan nodded suddenly: "If the lord can let me kill my enemies, from now on, Huo Yuan will definitely swear allegiance to the lord."

Killing Huo Xun with his own hands is what Huo Yuan wants to do most in his life.

Thinking about how much ridicule and contempt he experienced when his leg was beaten into a disability by this person, Huo Xun died thousands of times in front of him, but it was not enough to calm the hatred in his heart.

The reason why he chose to follow Zhao Yan back then was because he felt that Zhao Yan had the courage to become an emperor.A bigger part of the reason is that Huo Xun is the prince's man. If he follows Zhao Yan, he will be able to trample Huo Xun under his feet after he succeeds in the future.

Seeing the hope on Huo Yuan's face, Zhao Yan nodded slightly, a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes, and suddenly turned his gaze to the vast valley again.

"Since that's the case, this king will give you a chance."

At the foot of Qianyun Mountain, Huo Xun led a large group of people and looked at the fork ahead in silence.

"General, no one seems to be passing by on these two roads, and Qianyun Mountain is so big, which direction should we search?"

According to common sense, traces must be left behind where Zhao Yan fled, but Li Yan searched for a long time on the two forked roads, but he couldn't figure out where they passed by.

It is not known how many Zhao Yan's remaining troops are. If the soldiers are divided into two groups to find them, Huo Xun is worried that they will not be able to take them down.

Seeing that Huo Xun was hesitant, Li Yun raised his head and looked at the dense forest in front of him, and couldn't help but said: "The road on the right leads to Lingyun Taoist Temple on the mountain. Do you think people like Zhao Yan are hiding in the temple?"

"If they're hiding in the Taoist temple, that's okay, let's rush into the Taoist temple and arrest them!"

When Li Yan's voice fell, someone in the team immediately echoed, and Huo Xun's eyes flashed, and he immediately turned the horse's head.

"General, why do you really want us to go to the temple to find someone?"

Li Yan was puzzled, Huo Xun looked back at him, and said coldly: "Zhao Yan is very thoughtful, since he thought of taking the mountain road to leave early in the morning, he must be prepared in the Taoist temple. Even if they are not in the Taoist temple, they will come from the Taoist temple. leave."

After speaking, Huo Xun turned his horse's head and led the people straight to the Taoist temple.

Lingyun Taoist Temple was built on the hillside of Qianyun Mountain. Due to the flat terrain, there are not many people in the Taoist Temple, but the courtyard is not small.

Huo Xun and his party arrived at the entrance of the Taoist temple, but when they saw that the courtyard door was closed, they immediately asked their guards to surround the entire temple.

"Open the door!"

The "bang bang" at the door startled the birds around, and soon someone opened the courtyard door.

"You, who are you..."

The little Taoist was startled by the officers and soldiers blocking the door, his voice trembled a little, before he could speak, someone pushed him aside, he could only watch the officers and soldiers rush in.

"Find me all the Taoist priests! Everyone must be carefully checked!"

Worried about Zhao Yan and the others pretending to be Taoist priests, Huo Xun gave an order, and all the guards rushed in to arrest people.

After a stick of incense, all the people in the Taoist temple were brought to the open space in the courtyard.

Buddhism prevailed in the Great Jin Dynasty, while Taoism has declined.There are only more than 20 Taoist priests in this Lingyun temple, and all of them stood in the courtyard in panic at this time and did not dare to speak.

The leading guard walked towards Huo Xun with a serious expression on his face: "All the Taoist priests from the general's Taoist temple have been brought here, but there is nothing unusual."

Hearing this, Huo Xun's face suddenly became very ugly.

Reluctantly walking forward, Huo Xun was about to check these Taoist priests wearing Taoist robes and hats again, when a man ran out of the backyard and shouted loudly: "General, they ran away from the back door!"

"Chase!"

Huo Xun's heart tightened, and he immediately left the Taoist temple and hurried to the backyard.

"There are only ten people in their group, and one of them is wearing exactly the clothes of Duke Huai!"

The guard at the back door saw Huo Xun rushing over, and hurriedly pointed to Huo Xun the direction of their escape at the top of the mountain. Huo Xun's sharp eyes swept over the surrounding soldiers, and flew after him without scolding.

"Zhao Yan, you can't run away anymore, as long as you are willing to go back with me, I will definitely ask the emperor to take you to intercede!"

Huo Xun chased Zhao Yan all the way, and not long after, he saw Zhao Yan's figure shouting at them from a distance, Huo Xun stepped hard on his feet, and flew to catch up.

Zhao Yan was very fast, and there were people around him protecting him. Huo Xun and his party chased him for a long time, and when they stopped him, they had already reached the top of Yanshan Mountain.

"Huo Xun, this king treats you well, but you put him to death at a critical moment, do you think I will still trust you!"

Zhao Yan was flanked by Huo Xun's men back and forth, but there was no fear on his face.

"You designed to frame my father and force me to do things for you, and you rebelled against the law. How can I be a great general of Dingguo and join you!"

Huo Xun glanced at Zhao Yan and his group coldly, and suddenly found that Xiao Ruan was not among them. A bad premonition arose in his heart, and he immediately yelled at Zhao Yan: "What did you do to Ruan Er?" !"

"You still have the face to ask me for Xiao Ruan?"

Zhao Yan saw the anxiety on his face, and let out a cold snort in his throat: "I tell you, Xiao Ruan has been killed by this king, if you want to find her, you can go to the tiger in the mountain for it." !"

"you!"

Hearing this, Huo Xun's eyes suddenly burst into fierce rage, his fists creaked, and he could no longer hold back the anger in his heart, drew out the long sword on his body and attacked Zhao Yan.

However, at this moment, from nowhere, a group of black-clothed men with long knives suddenly appeared. When those black-clothed men saw Huo Xun's men, they raised their bows and arrows.

The accident happened so suddenly that before Huo Xun could react, the guards who came out to chase Zhao Yan with him were shot down one after another.

But in a short time, there were only a dozen or so of the hundred guards he brought, and even his arm was hit by a sharp arrow.The bright red blood flowed out, instantly soaking his azure blue robe, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Looking at the corpses on the ground, Huo Xun knew that no matter how stupid he was, he had fallen into a trap set by Zhao Yan in advance.

"General Huo, don't you want to catch me? I tell you, today is your death day!
Zhao Yan straightened his clothes and looked at Huo Xun with pity, with mockery in his eyes.

Turning his head to look at one of the men in black, Zhao Yan curled his mouth in a good mood: "Master Huo, I will do what I say, and I will leave this man to you today."

Huo Xun clasped his arms and followed Zhao Yan's line of sight, only to find that among the group of men in black was a person he was very familiar with, Huo Xun.

"Huo Yuan, what did you do to Xiao Ruan?"

As soon as Huo Xun saw this person, he remembered that Huo Yuan had sneaked into Xiao Ruan and robbed Xiao Ruan before, so he immediately stood up and wanted to fight Huo Yuan to the death.

However, as soon as he exerted his strength, he found that his internal strength was completely lost, and he couldn't lift it up at all. If Li Yan hadn't supported him in time, he would have fallen to the ground.

"You, your arrows are actually smeared with poison!"

The numbness soon spread from Huo Xun's arm to his whole body, Huo Xun's face showed regret, and he secretly thought that he shouldn't be so anxious this time, and actually fell into Zhao Yan's way.

Following several "plops", several guards behind Huo Xun who were also hit by poisoned arrows quickly fell down. Seeing the men in black with bows and arrows around them slowly approaching them, Li Yan felt panicked. .
