The night was getting darker, and the streets were already deserted, except for the inaudible footsteps of the Black Peng soldiers.
"Swish, swish, swish!" Not long after this group of Black Peng soldiers passed by, a few hunched figures flashed from the shadows on one side and disappeared into the path on the other side. Because of Uncle Xiang's leadership, the group of people naturally flowed smoothly and arrived in front of the secret prison in a short while.
"Eh? Why is there a Black Peng Clan guard at the door of this secret cell?" Uncle Xiang was leading a few people to the door when his expression suddenly changed and he quickly pulled a few people to hide in the shadows behind the wall.
"Uncle Xiang, what's wrong?" the third prince asked.
"Back to the third prince, this secret prison has been guarded by the general's old team because of its remote location. I wonder why there are Black Peng clan guards here?" Uncle Xiang looked around and found that there was only an open space between this place and the gate. Under the moonlight, two drowsy Black Peng tribesmen could be seen leaning on the outside of the doorway. Further inside, they were indistinct and could not be seen clearly.
"Chirp... Chirp..." Uncle Xiang motioned to the others to stay where they were. He ran a little further against the wall, and then let out a burst of bird song. Several guards at the door followed the sound and saw Xiang. Uncle Xiang's face was filled with joy, and then he didn't know what they were doing, but he saw Uncle Xiang coming back cautiously.
"Third Prince, I just communicated with the old department and learned that there are six Black Roc guards here. I will go with the old department to lure them away. You can take the opportunity to go in and rescue King Jinpeng!" Uncle Xiang said in a low voice. After a few words, before anyone could agree, he turned around and rushed out.
"Chee-gu...chie-gu..."
"Brothers, wake up! I saw the evil thief!" After receiving Uncle Xiang's instructions, the two guards suddenly shouted loudly.
"Evil thief? Where are they?" After hearing the word "evil thief", the six Black Peng clan guards immediately lost most of their sleepiness. They touched their waists and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the money bag was still there, and roared angrily. come out. Following the directions of the two guards, I saw a black shadow disappearing around the corner. They picked up the guy and tightened his pants before chasing him.
"Brothers, please wait for us..." The two guards pulled the arm of a Black Peng guard and gasped.
"You two losers, you are just dragging your feet, stay here for me... chase after you quickly! Don't let the evil thief escape!" The Black Peng clan guard kicked the two of them away, and hurriedly took a few steps to follow. Go up.
The two men bared their teeth for a long time. When they saw that the Black Peng guards had run away, they stood up and called in a low voice: "Come out!"
Seeing that the Black Peng clan guards were led away so easily, several people were also suspicious. However, the opportunity was fleeting and they could no longer hesitate. They looked at each other and held the weapons in their hands. Even Mu Fengchun also picked up a stone, just in case.
"Third...Third Prince!" After seeing the face of the visitor clearly, the two guards looked surprised and happy and bowed down, "I didn't know that the Third Prince was here. I was so negligent. I am willing to be punished!"
"Little liar, your etiquette as a human being is so strange... Why do you always like to be punished when we meet?" Hui Siling muttered in a low voice.
Mu Fengchun had long been immune to Yu Siling's weird questions along the way, and simply pretended to be mute. Yu Siling just asked casually, and when Mu Fengchun didn't respond, she shrugged indifferently.
"You two don't need to be polite... I am no longer the third prince... I would like to trouble you two to take us to see King Jinpeng..."
"Ah! Third Prince! Don't you dare take it seriously? Please come with me!" One of the guards gave a few instructions to the other one, asking him to guard the door, and then he led the Third Prince and his group into the prison.
"Little brother, who is the evil thief you just mentioned? Why are these Black Peng tribesmen so angry at the mention of this word?" Mu Fengchun asked while holding the stone.
"Haha... This is an interesting thing to say. Since we are some distance away now, I will just say a few words..." The guard was still a little nervous at first, but when he heard Mu Fengchun's question, he suddenly laughed and became a little interested.
"In Yangdu City, petty theft occurs from time to time, and it is especially rampant at this time. But because this kind of behavior is not too bad, it is usually simply reprimanded and then stopped. But not long ago, it actually happened Someone stole the Black Peng clan’s head!”
"The six-person team was patrolling that day, but they all felt a light on their waists. When they touched it, they found that the money bag had disappeared. In fact, for them, it was not a big deal for the money bag to be stolen. Catching a little thief Wasn't it easy to catch him? But he didn't expect that this little thief was extremely vicious. Not only did he take away several people's money bags, but even their belts were taken away... They didn't chase for a few steps, only to feel a cold on their legs. He got stuck, and when he got up again, the little thief had long disappeared."
"But the next night, when several people passed by someone on their way back from drinking, someone took off their wallets and stripped off their pants again. They were so angry that they could only hold up their pants and yell... But this little thief seemed to have planned something. Usually, these people are the ones who steal every time, but no matter how many belts they put on, they always end up with their trousers pulled up, which is miserable..." At this point, everyone smiled.
"and after?"
"Later, these people were afraid of being robbed. I heard that this secret prison was more comfortable, so they replaced the original guards of the Black Peng clan, and then they stayed quiet for a few days...until I received the instructions from General Xiang today. , I just lied about seeing the evil thieves and deceived them... But General Xiang is not as good as before, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for long. I'll go to a distant place to look out, and you can take King Jinpeng away as soon as possible!" After saying this, the man opened the door He opened the cell door and turned to leave.
"This...is this really a secret prison?" When they walked into the stone wall prison door, everyone saw the rockery and flowing water in front of them and the peaceful scenery. They almost thought they had stepped out of the secret prison through the back door. They were a little stunned for a moment. They thought this was The place where King Jinpeng was imprisoned must have been very bad, but he didn't expect that this prison was much more comfortable than the outside.
"Third Prince, what are the conditions for entering this secret prison..." Mu Fengchun was speechless and whispered in the Third Prince's ear.
The third prince also couldn't laugh or cry. In fact, it was also his first time entering the secret prison. The shock in his heart was not much different from that of others. But before he could reply, he heard a voice coming from the back of the rockery: "It's really rare. The recent one There are quite a few guests!”
"Senior King Jinpeng!" When the third prince heard this familiar voice, he was immediately excited and led everyone around.
The back side of the rockery was still a pleasant scene, but what was incompatible with it was a dusty chessboard on the stone table, as if no one had touched it for a long time. A thin man with blond hair and a golden beard was leaning on the stone chair next to the stone table. He narrowed his eyes slightly and rubbed a chess piece in his hand. Different from other chess pieces, the surface of this chess piece is very smooth and delicate, and it is unknown how long it has been rubbed.
And when the man heard this familiar voice, his eyes suddenly widened and he jumped up from the chair. There was a faint golden light flashing between his eyes. When he saw the third prince, his expression suddenly changed and he held a The chess piece fell to the ground and broke into two halves with a click.
"His Royal Highness the Third Prince? You...why are you here? What are you doing here? Leave quickly before no one notices!" King Jinpeng was surprised at first, then his expression changed, and he pushed the Third Prince and was about to send him out. Upon seeing this, the third prince explained repeatedly and persuaded him for a while before he felt relieved.
"I never thought that I would be able to see His Highness the Third Prince in my lifetime. I will die without any regrets!" King Jinpeng laughed loudly and boldly.
"Senior King Jinpeng, don't talk nonsense. If you hadn't been punished on my behalf, I would have been killed long ago... How could I ignore you? This time we are here to take you out!" said the third prince.
After hearing this, King Jinpeng shook his head and said: "It is my duty to protect His Highness the Third Prince. Even if I sacrifice my life, I will not hesitate. Naturally, you don't have to take it to heart... But my life here is nothing but boring. No, if nothing happens, the third prince should leave quickly..." After saying that, King Jinpeng lay back on the chair.
"I say you, a golden-haired bird, are really ignorant! The third prince took the risk to save you no matter what. Why are you so ignorant?"
"Little White Snake, shut up!"
"A'ya, don't talk nonsense! King Jinpeng has his own reasons..." Although it was just a flash, Youya still noticed something strange about King Jinpeng, and quickly reached out to check his condition, although he looked just like an ordinary person. , but every time I exert a little effort, it will dissipate instantly. I must have been standing for so long just now to support myself. Now that my strength is exhausted, I sit back.
"No wonder King Jinpeng doesn't want to leave. It turns out that he was planted with the 'Rattle Dance'!" You Ya looked very ugly.
"Bell-ringing dance? What is this?" the third prince asked in confusion.
"As far as I know... this bell-ringing dance is not a thing, but a method of controlling poison! This bell means 'waking up the poison bell'. Once the bell is shaken, the poison insects will follow. The vibrations come alive and look like dancing, so this spell is called bell dance! Moreover, there is a close connection between the voodoo bug and the bell. Once the two are separated by a certain distance, the voodoo bug will explode... "Mu Fengchun pinched his chin and said.
Everyone felt a chill when they heard the words. They didn't expect that this pleasant-sounding name could be so vicious, and they frowned.
"Daughter, do you have any way to get rid of these Gu insects?"
"These voodoos have been in the body for too long, and it will be really difficult to solve them in a while..." Removing the voodoos is extremely complicated, and Youya looked somewhat remorseful.
"Young lady, you don't have to be so embarrassed. I'm already used to it. If you take out the Gu, I'm afraid I'll still feel a little uncomfortable." King Jinpeng laughed a few times indifferently, and his expression returned to normal. He looked at the third prince and pretended to be relaxed. : "Third Prince, you can't hide your worries in front of me. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Although I can't leave because of the poison, I'm not that stupid yet."
Hearing this, the third prince nodded solemnly and said, "Senior King Jinpeng, do you know what happened to the Jin family in Yangdu..."
"ah?"
