In the blue wave pool, a cold light suddenly rose and stabbed towards Zhao Tong's chest.
No one would have thought that there were still people alive in the ghost building, and that they were hiding in the pool to carry out the assassination.
Zhao Tong narrowed his eyes suddenly, but he was on guard, otherwise he wouldn't have noticed the strangeness of the pool and wanted to step forward to check it out.
It was too late to tell, but it was so fast that I couldn't tell what kind of weapon the cold light was. It was just a decisive breath that vowed to kill him.
Behind the cold light, a red figure fell tightly and came over with the light.
Zhao Tong's feet slipped and he stepped back. If he had been half a minute slower, the cold light would have passed through his chest. The sharp edge of the dagger in his sleeve was revealed, and he was ready to fight back.
But at this moment, a golden ray of light suddenly appeared very fast, heading straight for the red shadow. The red shadow rushed forward, but could not hide in time. It was hit by the golden light and lost the momentum to move forward. It shook a few times. It fell to the ground with a "clang" sound.
Everyone looked anxiously, and saw that the red figure was actually a woman wearing a red wedding dress. She had an ordinary appearance, with bulging eyes that were not closed, and a gilt Emei thorn that was more than a foot long on her chest.
"Your Majesty?"
"My lord, this villain deserves to die!"
"My lord, this subordinate deserves death, but he didn't realize that there was a scam in the pool!"
"The true great king brings great blessings to the heavens, great blessings to the heavens."
Zhao Tong waved his hand, his face slightly pale. Although he escaped the fatal blow, this time it also disturbed the aura in his body.
He looked at the assassinated woman in wedding dress. The woman's weapon was still tightly held in her hand. It was actually a long silver drill, as long as a sword, but as thin as a finger, and the tip was as sharp as a needle point.
This was an extremely unorthodox weapon, at least Zhao Tong had never seen it before, and the Emei thorn inserted into her chest was not seen very often. Zhao Tong's eyes suddenly fell on Liu Huiniang.
I saw the young lady saying slightly apologetically: "Your Majesty, it was a little late to take action, which frightened Your Majesty."
Zhao Tong's eyes twitched: "Hui Niang..."
The young lady stepped forward, pulled out the Emei thorns from the bride's body, and sighed: "This woman is so happy. I came to Guifan Tower just to find her."
Everyone listened carefully when they heard the words, Zhao Tong asked: "Why?"
The young lady said: "She was originally a registered disciple of my master, but later she stole his weapons and boxing manuals and ran down the mountain. The master found out that she was doing evil in Tokyo, but for some reasons she was unwilling to set foot in the capital. It just so happened that she was doing evil in Tokyo. When I return home after studying, I will clean up the house."
Zhao Tong nodded and suddenly smiled and said: "Hui Niang, what you said is true. I was really frightened just now. If Hui Niang hadn't come to the rescue, I don't know what would have happened. I will definitely thank you." "
The young lady's bright eyes sparkled, she looked at Zhao Tong and whispered: "I'll just ask the prince to settle the debt of five thousand taels before. From now on, we will be cleared and have nothing to do with him."
Zhao Tong looked at his mother, shook his head and said: "Don't mention money. It will hurt the friendship. Let's talk about this later."
Everyone continued to move forward and came to the largest cave mentioned by Zhu Xiaoyi, but they saw that the entrance of the cave was about ten feet in diameter, and it was pitch black inside with no trace of the scene.
When the two brothers from the Ding family saw this, their eyes immediately shone, they rubbed their hands and said, "Kill it, hold it back."
Ouyang Bei looked at it funny and said, "I think it's good for one of you brothers to leave. Don't leave without coming back. The ones left behind can also pass on the incense."
Ding Er Xie took a "poof" and said, "I don't think you want to call that gust of wind, just call it Bird's Beak instead."
The two asked Zhao Tong for an order, then took off the ropes from their bodies and began to make arrangements. After a while, they lit a few torches and threw them down. They observed: "It's either very deep or there is water. If there is no rope, go down." It’s going to be hard to come up again.”
Zhao Tong said: "I guess the place below should be Bianzhou City in the Tang Dynasty. Remember, you two, don't be greedy for the gold and silver belongings below. If you really want to take them with you, you can find a few copies of the slips that can be read, and be careful with the rest."
The two nodded and tied six ropes, but only held two of them slowly towards the cave. During the process, they lit lamps and candles from time to time and embedded them in the grooves of the crack wall.
I don’t know how long it took, but for an hour or two, the binding bell on one of the six ropes going down rang, and someone wanted to come up.
It turned out that this was what we had agreed to do. We spent a lot of time searching down there, especially in the water. If we still had the strength to climb up the rope by ourselves, we had to have people pull us up.
Huang Gu over there saw this, and several people pulled the rope up together, but what they saw at the end was Ding Er Crab.
Er Xia carried a bag that looked like a fishing net on his back. It was a mess and he didn't know what it contained. He was breathing heavily at the moment and was lying on the ground unable to get up.
After a moment, Zhao Tong said, "Where's the big crab?"
Ding Er Xie then reluctantly said: "Return to the prince, when my two brothers went down, they saw water everywhere. The water was deep and cold, so they searched separately. Later, my brother told me that he had found an old temple, so he went there by himself. Let me not panic and come up first."
Zhao Tong nodded, thinking that it was always wrong, and said: "There is always a secret code between your brothers. Go and send it to Big Crab and ask him to come back. Don't delay down there."
While he was talking, suddenly another rope bell rang, and Ouyang Bei said: "I'm back, I'm back, I won't stop the incense now."
Er Xie always felt that this guy deserved to be beaten, but he always lacked the strength to do anything. He just hummed and said: "I am also a bachelor. I can't say that I really feel sorry for my ancestors."
Ouyang Bei was not upset when he heard this, and just said: "You don't know that there are nine brothers of a certain person, and eight brothers have children, leaving a certain person free and happy."
The second crab was so angry that his teeth were itching, but there was nothing he could do. At this moment, he saw the big crab crawling up and also lying on the ground breathing heavily.
After another long while, Big Crab said: "My lord, I saw many letters, all made of bamboo, and they have been soaked to pieces for a long time."
Seeing that he was thinking about his own words, Zhao Tong couldn't help but feel happy and said: "It's okay, I wanted to see if there are any unique copies or something like that, but Tang Dynasty was not that long ago, so even if I find it, it may not be out there."
The big crab nodded and said with a strange expression: "Your Majesty, I didn't find the bamboo slips, but I saw a rare pair. My subordinate felt it was smooth but didn't look carefully. It seems to be a pair of jade slips."
Zhao Tong wondered: "Jade slips?"
Big Crab said: "If you feel the image, I will show it to the prince now."
He struggled to reach for the net pocket behind him, and Zhao Tong said: "It's not urgent. Your two brothers are tired. Isn't it more important than a pair of slips? Let's talk about this back home!"
Big Crab said: "Your Majesty is so kind, don't dare to disobey me."
After everyone returned, Zhao Tong arranged for the inspection of the water mouth of the nullah, and then returned to the mansion. The first thing he did was to go to the study to write a memorial and send it to the palace. He said that all the underground ditches had been cleared, but that there needed to be soldiers at the water mouth above. garrison.
He knew that Emperor Jun wouldn't care about this. As long as he could dig tunnels and meet beauties, he didn't care about adding an additional military service out of thin air. Now that the matter was done, he felt a huge loss in his heart, especially the gold and silver he earned. Counting the previous accumulation, Already numbering in the millions.
After a day's rest, the next day they discussed their merits and were rewarded. Everyone was happy, but the girl was missing, which made Zhao Tong feel a little sad.
After the luncheon, everyone dispersed, except for the big crab who brought a box to the study, saying that it was a clean jade slip salvaged from the underground city and brought here specially.
Zhao Tong didn't pay attention. After the big crab left, he opened the box and looked at it. Sure enough, it was a good pair of jade slips. This thing alone was worth a lot of silver.
After picking it up, he spread it on the table and unfolded it gently. Looking at it under the afternoon sunshine, he saw that the jade slip was crystal clear and the four words on the head were clearly legible. After recognizing it, Zhao Tong couldn't help but stand up and took a deep breath. With one breath, he suppressed the excitement in his heart.
The four characters engraved on the end are clear.
It’s actually Meng De’s new book!
