Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 216

These days, every day in Xiangfu Hou's mansion, several carts will pull out several corpses for disposal.The most time, even three or forty people died in one night. In the end, together with the guards of Ye Mansion, and the masters of Wu Desi and Kaifeng Mansion lurking in the surrounding area, they killed more than half of these thieves and retreated.

For this reason, I heard that both the Kaifeng Mansion and the Wu De Division lost a lot of people.On the contrary, the Yefu guards, because they used long-distance weapons such as long crossbows and hard bows, and were wearing armor, suffered the least losses, even only wounded, not killed in battle.

Since the day of the second day of junior high school, Ye Mansion has transferred everyone except the guards to the Cao family and Luo family. The food expenses for the guards every day are sent by people from Luo Mansion and Cao Mansion.But Ye Chen couldn't leave, otherwise he would have brought disaster there.

After seven days in a row, after many people died, the number of people sneaking into the Ye Mansion began to decrease, and gradually calmed down.But this calm is just the calm before the storm.

Real masters always make decisions before acting, and those who can pose a threat to Ye Chen come to Kaifeng one by one.Fortunately, Ye Chen's iron wall maze formation cost a huge sum of 15 guan, and almost all the money earned by Ye Chen Yongle Guild Hall in the past two months was invested in it, and the construction was finally completed.

Ye Chen asked the ghost doctor to move, and the three of them worked hard in the maze formation with Yu Qingyan for three full days.Except for the three of them, no one knew what they did during these three days.

And four days ago, for Chen Jingyuan's sake, Meng Xiu and Qin Quan, who were let go by all the forces, issued a reward order for those who secretly followed them in front of the various forces at the border between the Song Dynasty and the Southern Han Dynasty. One leader, Chen Jingyuan, the actual controller of the Southern Han Dynasty, made a promise: Anyone who can send the Tianxing jade pendant to the Southern Han Dynasty will get 500 million taels of silver, or become the next emperor of the Southern Han Kingdom, and any other Tianyi. conditions that can be met.

This reward order was said in front of more than a dozen representatives of forces that can be ranked in the world, and it has been verified by many people, and it is believed by almost everyone.

And this news, like the previous two news, has grown wings. Within half a month, it has spread throughout the Song Dynasty, Southern Tang Dynasty, Southern Han Dynasty, and even Khitan and Dali.

The news spread to Kaifeng, and a new storm came again, and the masters who had come a few days earlier and hidden in Kaifeng finally lost their patience.Started to attack Ye Fu.

Compared with the first wave, the strength and methods of this wave of masters are several levels higher. Nearly half of them did not disturb the masters and guards of the Kaifeng Mansion and Wu Desi who were hiding outside the Ye Mansion and the guards of the Ye Mansion. It can be seen outside the maze formation.Even if there are those who can't do light work, if they are discovered by the Kaifeng mansion and Wu Desi's staff, the Kaifeng mansion and Wu Desi's staff will pay a great price to stop these people.For this reason, Ye Chen finally sent someone to notify Kaifeng Mansion and Zhang Zhan to let their people withdraw directly.

And long before that, Ye Chen's hundreds of guards were all stuffed into the maze by Ye Chen, each radish hid in a hole, and besides the strong bow and crossbow arrows, each of these guards was trained by the ghost doctor Got something special there.In addition, Ye Chen distributed a bucket of black oil to everyone.

On the first night, a total of 18 people successfully sneaked into Ye Mansion either by invitation or together.

These 18 people were able to enter the Ye Mansion through the Kaifeng Mansion's arrest and Wu Desi's masters. Their skills and strength are really extraordinary. Those who are hindered by anything come before the maze.

All they saw was a place about five acres in size, surrounded by a three-foot-high black wall in a circle.There is a four-foot-wide entrance in the east direction. Through the entrance, you can faintly see that both sides can move forward, but it looks dark from a distance, revealing a sense of strangeness and horror.

After a little hesitation, more than 20 people walked in from the entrance one after another with vigilant faces.

After more than ten breaths, the first scream sounded, followed by nine intermittent screams.An hour later, nine people walked out of it with a look of disbelief and disbelief, but their bodies were unscathed.

The nine people found that half of them were missing. Remembering the screams before, after a while of struggle and hesitation, one of them jumped up, kicked on the wall, and jumped onto the top of the iron wall. He wanted to break in through the wall.

This is a good idea, and the eyes of others lit up when they saw this, and they were about to follow suit.As a result, there was a sudden scream, and for some reason, the wall that the man was on suddenly burst into flames, and the fire instantly engulfed him, and his clothes were already on fire.The person screamed and jumped off the wall, rolling around on the ground, trying to put out the fire, but the fire seemed extremely difficult to extinguish, and the others didn't intend to save him, so the person turned into ashes in the end.

The faces of the remaining eight people changed drastically, but they didn't even think about leaving. They just rejoiced and walked in through the entrance.

After more than ten breaths, four screams sounded one after another.About an hour later, the remaining four people walked out with a look of hell, turned and left without saying a word.

That night, eighteen first-class masters broke into the maze of Ye Mansion, and the news that four of them survived in the end has spread.And the details of the whole process were quickly learned by interested people.

Every time people enter, half of them will die inside, and nearly half of them will walk out of it unscathed.If you try to pass through the top of your head, you will be burned to ashes by the nameless fire.

Such a result spread throughout Kaifeng in one night.

Early the next morning, a notice was posted at the gate of Ye Mansion.

The content is as follows: Peerless treasure, those who can get it.The Heavenly Star Jade Pendant is placed in the maze. Anyone who pays a hundred taels of silver can enter the maze at will. If they find the jade pendant, they can keep it for themselves. This Marquis will never stop it.

As soon as this announcement came out, the whole Kaifeng was in a state of excitement, and ordinary people were naturally amazed. It was just an extra topic after dinner, but they were all moved by the Jianghu warriors who thought they had some abilities.Even some heroes of the rivers and lakes who thought they couldn't rob others and had given up have rekindled the fire of hope in their hearts.

100 taels of silver is equivalent to a thousand guan, which is a huge sum of money for ordinary people.But compared to the Heavenly Star Jade Pendant, which can be exchanged for half of the Southern Han Dynasty, it is nothing!Not even a drop in the bucket.As for the 18 people who broke in last night, only three of them survived, and due to greed and luck, they have already been thrown behind by almost everyone.

All the heroes of the rivers and lakes are tempted. As for a hundred taels of silver, it is not a problem for most of the martial artists of the rivers and lakes. A small number of impoverished heroes of the rivers and lakes also have their own methods.In one night, more than 100 cases of theft occurred in Kaifeng Mansion.

At the same time as the notice was posted, the main door of Ye Mansion was closed, leaving only a side door, and a table and two chairs were placed at the side door. Li Junhao and Xu Fangyi were sitting on the chairs, and behind them stood ten tough gangsters from the Southern Gang. .There are more than a dozen large boxes next to it. Obviously, this box is used to hold silver.

Not long after, thousands of spectators gathered on both sides of the avenue in front of Ye Mansion, many of them were people from the world who wanted to see the situation first.

After a stick of incense, suddenly... There was a burst of loud laughter, mixed with the sound of horseshoes in a hurry, and with the sound of the wind coming from behind the crowd in the east, everyone was refreshed and twisted back to their bodies. Among them, three healthy horses came at a gallop, and amidst the people on the horses whipping their whips and laughing loudly, all three horses came close.People hurried out of the way.Let the three riders gallop all the way to the door of Ye Mansion.

The knight's laughter stopped suddenly, and he raised his hand slightly. The three horses, which were coming like a dragon, stopped immediately, raised their hooves and raised their heads, and neighed endlessly. All three of them are skilled.

Feeling slightly bored, Li Junhao's face flashed a gleam of joy, thinking that Master Hou's business was coming.

The horse stopped, and only then did the crowd see clearly that the three of them were dressed vigorously, with fierce expressions on their faces.They got off their horses and tied the horses to the horse stakes outside the door.

The three well-dressed men looked at each other again, and one of them, a tall middle-aged man with piercing eyes, strode up to Li Junhao.Xiang Li Junhao and Xu Fangyi cupped their fists slightly, and said, "I'll wait for the three of you to come to the battle, and hope that Ye Hou can keep his word."

Li Junhao didn't move, Xu Fangyi stood up, squinted his eyes, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "It turned out to be 'Golden Whip' Uncle Wu, these two must be He Erye and Fei Sanye, my younger brother has long admired the name of 'Hedong Three Whips', But I don’t want to see the traces of the hero here today. It’s really lucky for three lives! Hmm! My Lord Hou promises a thousand gold, what’s the word of mouth, the three of you have been in Kaifeng for twelve days, and you must have heard of it. As long as the three of you can break through the maze and enter it My Marquis will never stop me from getting the Heavenly Star Jade Pendant. You can rest assured, Brother Wu."

As soon as the three of them heard Xu Fangyi recognized their identities at a glance, and also pointed out the specific number of days the three had been in Kaifeng, they couldn't help but tremble in their hearts, thinking that they dared to believe that they had been under surveillance all the time.This Yehou's power is unfathomable!

The middle-aged man said: "Ye Hou is really good at tricks. Let's not talk nonsense. This is 300 taels of silver. The three of my brothers are going to break through."

Xu Fangyi stopped talking nonsense, and after a gang member behind him took the money and checked that the quantity report was correct, he asked someone to take out three iron plates from the small box behind the gang members and hand them to the 'Hedong Three Whips'.Then one person walked out and led the three of them to the courtyard.

'Hedong Three Whips' started, and after the three entered, a dozen or so people walked out of the crowd on both sides and walked towards the gate of Ye Mansion.

Just like before, these people were all easily identified by Xu Fangyi, and when they came to Kaifeng Mansion, after a little beating, the money was collected, a sign was issued, and people were led in.With the addition of 'Hedong Three Whips', there are 36 people in total.

It has to be said that these 36 people are considered good players in the Jianghu, and there are even four or five first-class masters among them.

After the 36 people, for a long time, no one came to sign up to break through the level. Obviously, the rest of the people wanted to see the results of the 36 people breaking through the maze.

An hour later, the boss and the youngest of the 'Hedong Three Whips' were brought out with slumped faces, and then others were led out one after another.Seeing everyone's frustrated and terrified expressions, it was obvious that no one had succeeded in breaking through the maze.
