Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 377
Falling down the bridge and crossing the alley, turned out from the side of a certain house, and inquired in a teahouse that the [-] rebels had indeed been led by the [-] troops led by the commander of the Eight Capitals, Gao Chengxiang, and the remaining black cavalry and Huaxia Wei in the Hangyuan. Teaming up to kill and kill, the prisoner of the prisoner, the rebel general He Lei was also killed on the spot, and now the danger of Hangyuan has been lifted.

Only then did Ye Chen join a group of Huaxia Guards who were looking for him everywhere, and returned to Hangyuan.

After entering Hangyuan, Ye Chen first comforted Princess Yongqing who was frightened and eager to know what was going on, and then held a short meeting with a group of subordinates to report and analyze the current situation and make further arrangements.

During the period, Ye Chen also learned from Qi Bian and Zhang Xiong, who were sent to monitor Gao Chengxiang, that Gao Chengxiang was assassinated last night. Fortunately, Qi Bian gave a warning, and Gao Chengxiang himself was on guard, and showed the Wuyue National Army With the strength that Fang No.1 should have and the background of the Gao family, there are five hundred elite soldiers and more than a dozen masters hidden in the mansion. The two first-class masters of the Maitreya sect who tried to assassinate him failed, but Gao Chengxiang was slightly injured. One of the two assassins was wounded on the spot, and the other fled.

After hearing the news that Ye Chen had returned to Hangzhou Garden, Qian Zhiyin, the eldest son of Wuyue Kingdom, and Gao Chengxiang, the Commander of Badu, paid a visit together.

After Ye Chen told Qian Zhiyin and Gao Zhixiang about the Maitreya Sect plan without reservation, after the two were startled and angry, they unceremoniously made two requests.

First, put the Southern Tang Mission under house arrest, although Ye Chen reckoned that the real head of the Southern Tang Deputy Envoy, Lu Jiang, had probably disappeared.But he must force Wuyue Kingdom to make such a gesture, so as to further dispel the possibility of Wuyue Kingdom's alliance with Southern Tang.

Second, Ye Chen asked Qian Zhiyin to bring Princess Yongqing and more than 50 attendants into the palace in advance.Among these entourages, apart from the twenty or so eunuchs and maids brought by Princess Yongqing from Kaifeng, there were also thirty guards sent by Ye Chen, including 26 Huaxia Golden Guards from the Special Investigation Department of the Intelligence Department, and four A gold medal killer dressed as an ordinary Huaxia Wei.

Ye Chen believes that after the assassination of the Lord Wuyue, the palace will be the safest place in Hangzhou City and even the entire Wuyue Kingdom, and because of the special status of the Lord Yongqing, the father and son of the Lord Wuyue will definitely spare no effort to protect him.

In addition, the reason why Princess Yongqing was handed over to the Wuyue royal family in advance was because as long as the princess was still with the Song Dynasty mission for a day, most of the people under her command would be dragged to death.When Ye Chen wanted to do something, there was simply not enough manpower.

After sending off Qian Zhiyin and Princess Yongqing, Ye Chen handed over all the affairs of the mission to Zhang Qingming, the deputy envoy.Then he had a secret talk with Gao Chengxiang who stayed behind on purpose.

At the beginning, although Gao Chengxiang always had the same idea as Qian Hongchu, the leader of Wuyue Kingdom, and advocated being pro-Song, he was also wary of Song Dynasty.They are also hostile to Ye Chen and his party's Huaxia Weifu forces.

However, after the assassination incident last night, Gao Chengxiang was terrified, and the balance in his heart tilted further, but he killed the Maitreya Sect and the Southern Tang court.

Therefore, when Ye Chen promised to find out the hiding places of the assassins who were assassinated by the Maitreya Sect last night, before Ye Chen could say anything, he said that he would lead people to surround and kill those assassins.Based on Ye Chen's understanding of Gao Chengxiang's past experience, he has no doubt that Gao Chengxiang has this strength, but Ye Chen doubts whether he can really catch or kill the Maitreya Sect killer.

In the fierce battle last night, although the three thousand rebels failed to step into the inner courtyard of Hangyuan, half of the three hundred Huaxia guards were lost, and less than one hundred of the two hundred black cavalry remained.

According to the previous discussion with Qian Zhiyin, Ye Chen gathered the remaining more than 100 Huaxia Guards and nearly a hundred black cavalry, swaggered through the market along the way, and escorted him into the Wuyue King's Palace with a high profile.

Then, under the arrangement of Qian Zhiyin, Ye Chen disguised himself and sneaked out of the palace. After joining Lian Jicheng and six gold-medal killers waiting outside, he quietly left Hangzhou City, and then avoided the main road, deliberately detoured A large circle went to Ruyi Mountain.And more than 200 Huaxia Guards and Black Cavalry returned to the Great Song Mission in Hangyuan.

Hu Sanguang had already sent someone to report that the butler of the Wei Mansion had not come out after entering the Ruyi Mountain Ghost Bamboo Forest.On the contrary, it was Hu Sanguang who judged from some signs that the female sword emperor of the Qian family had left Ruyi Mountain and came to Hangzhou City.

When Ye Chen brought Hu Sanguang, Lian Jicheng, Bai Xiaomao and other seven people to the Ruyi Mountain Ghost Bamboo Forest, the rain had already passed and the sky was clear.

This Ghost Bamboo Forest is notorious. Although Ye Chen and the others are first-rate masters, they dare not act rashly.

Ye Chen used lightness kung fu and body skills, climbed up to a giant bamboo, looked around, and couldn't help but be surprised, the whole bamboo forest looked gray from above, as if there was no end to it.But Ye Chen knew that this bamboo forest would never exceed a hundred acres, because Hu Sanguang said that he heard the screams of the female sword emperor from the ghost bamboo forest outside the ghost bamboo forest.

What the eyes saw was so evil, Ye Chen was startled, thinking that it was indeed a ghost bamboo forest.

Ye Chen let out a long howl, echoed with a bird song in the sky, and then a black spot landed sharply, and soon landed on Ye Chen's body, but it was the Haidongqing controlled by Ye Chen with the Gu insect.

After Ye Chen expressed his feelings to Hai Dongqing in a unique way, he let Hai Dongqing fly through the ghost bamboo forest from a high altitude to find Jiangu, which is surrounded by ghost bamboo forests in all directions.

With Ye Chen's eyesight, he couldn't even see the ghost bamboo forest, let alone the others.

After discussing with everyone, Ye Chen asked a few people to wait outside in spite of everyone's strong opposition, and he was going to break in alone.

At this point, the female sword emperor must be looking for him everywhere in Hangzhou city at this time, the father and son of Wuyue kingdom can only hold the female sword emperor for half a day at most.What's more, Lou Yanming is likely to be secretly watching.Therefore, he must catch the butler of the Wei Mansion as soon as possible.

Ye Chen tied one end of a thin rope that Hu Sanguang had prepared in advance around his waist, and walked into the ghost bamboo forest.

As soon as he stepped into the bamboo forest, Ye Chen was startled. It was clearly a bamboo forest, but it was covered by dense forests. Although the sun was hanging high in the sky, the sunlight did not shine into this weird bamboo forest at all. On the contrary, , but there are bursts of musty and damp smell, which makes people sick, and at the same time, all the rotten leaves of bamboo are stepped on. This place is like some barren mountains and wild places full of miasma in the virgin forests of Yunnan, Guizhou and Miaojiang. How does it look like Lingshan, the land of Hangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, with beautiful water and beautiful mountains!

Ye Chen observed for a while, and after not seeing any tricks, he stared at the straight ahead and walked forward.After walking for an unknown amount of time, Ye Chen suddenly found that he could no longer tell the difference between southeast and north.He couldn't help thinking that when he got back, he must instruct Yu Qingyan to come up with a compass.

At this time, it is clearly broad daylight outside, and it will still be sunny, the sun is extremely bright.It's a pity that the bamboo forest was completely dark, and it even became darker and darker as time went by.

In addition, apart from the sound of Ye Chen walking, the bamboo forest was completely silent. With Ye Chen's hearing ability, he didn't hear the slightest sound except the sound caused by himself.You know, in a normal bamboo forest, there should be the sound of birds, the slightest sound of various insects moving, and the sound of the wind blowing bamboo leaves, etc. At this time, there are none of these sounds.It was eeriely quiet.

In addition, the light in the depths of the bamboo forest was even darker, and at some point it was almost difficult to distinguish five fingers.Although Ye Chen has excellent night vision ability, but in this situation, he can't show it at all, because the bamboos surrounding his body are densely packed and connected to each other.Even with Ye Chen's eyesight, he can only see clearly within ten steps in front of him, and he can't do anything further away.

Ye Chen walked aimlessly for a few miles, but found nothing except for a few strange birds flying away.

Outside the ghost bamboo forest, Hu Sanguang and others looked at a large roll of thin rope in their hands, only let it go a hundred feet away, and then stopped moving. They didn't pay attention at first, thinking that the chief commander stopped on the ground to observe the ghost bamboo forest. It's weird, but after waiting for a full hour, the string didn't move again.

The seven people gradually realized that something was wrong. Hu Sanguang tried to pull the rope, but found that there was no force at the other end, as if nothing was tied to the other end of the rope.

Everyone's expressions changed, Hu Sanguang quickly pulled the rope, and after six or seven breaths, he pulled out all the thin ropes.Sure enough, Ye Chen at the other end of the tether rope had long since disappeared.

"No, this rope was cut in the middle by someone. My lord was pulled out a hundred feet before, but now it is only pulled back more than fifty feet." Lian Jicheng was the first to discover the problem and said in a low voice.

"That is to say, there are other people besides the adults in the Ghost Bamboo Forest." Hu Sanguang said solemnly.

Somewhere in the Ghost Bamboo Forest, Ye Chen stopped and pulled the thin rope tied around his waist. Feeling something was wrong, he continued to pull it back, and pulled it faster and faster. After four or five breaths, Ye Chen watched as his hand broke the rope. , his face was a little ugly.

Looking at the broken part of the rope, Ye Chen easily found that it was artificially cut with a sharp weapon.

I was thinking in my heart, at this moment, two gusts of "chi chi" shot down from the tree beside me.

Ye Chen turned around, and stabbed out twice quickly with the Yuchang sword, splitting the two black bamboo thorns that flew towards him, turned around abruptly, and nailed each to the bamboo with a hissing sound.

Then, there was a deep old sneer in the dense forest: "Ye Chen, you are here, the leader has a clever plan, and he calculated that I would be exposed, so he led you to Ruyi Mountain, lest you escape from Hangzhou City early. Unexpectedly That female sword emperor didn't listen to my advice and went directly to Hangzhou City. However, if she thinks she can't find you in Hangzhou City, she will remember what I told her and come back here. Now the rope on your body It has been cut off by me, even if you want to withdraw, it is impossible."
