Although Jin Yin did return home in a hurry, he did not fully tell the story to City Lord Yang. The reason why he was so anxious this time was not entirely because he wanted to talk to King Jinpeng, but because he was too uneasy in his heart.
He remembered that the last time he felt this way was when he had an argument with Jin Gyu when he was a child and was imprisoned. And during this period of confinement, he lost three younger brothers forever. The second younger brother was also sent to another place for recuperation due to serious injuries, and there was no news after that.
Although Jin Gui's temperament is indeed not very good, and he has made things difficult for him everywhere, he is his biological brother after all. In addition, King Jinpeng has carefully warned him today, and he cannot let it go. Of course, he must I hurried back to see what happened.
"Don't let anything happen..." Jin Yin secretly recited the mantra to stimulate his blood, turning into a golden light and shooting into the dark night...
…
"A sneeze... a sneeze..." Accompanied by a rapid sneeze, the grass on the roadside rustled, and Hei Xiaohua appeared on the road trembling.
That day, he originally planned to wait until dawn and return to the Jinpeng tribe while the black fog in the mist valley dissipated, but for some reason, several strange pillars appeared in the mist valley.
These pillars have been rotating continuously, so that the black mist has been rolling and rolling, undulating like a black tide, making it difficult for Hei Xiaohua to step into it.
Although this mist valley is not the only way between the Jinpeng tribe and Yangdu, there are steep mountains within a hundred miles. If you don't want to go over the mountains, you may have to go around a hundred miles away.
Hei Xiaohua used a lot of energy to use the ten dragons to go out to sea. He still had the strength, so he could only find a hiding place to rest temporarily, hoping to wait until he recovered a little before making any plans.
Because he had carried dry food on his body before, he didn't have to worry about starving now. After eating, he fell asleep, and when he woke up, he felt a little more energetic.
He didn't know how many days he had spent here in a daze, and finally waited until the black fog in the Misty Valley gradually dissipated. If he missed it this time, he didn't know how long he would have to wait. He gritted his teeth and left in fear. Go in.
As the saying goes, if a person is unlucky, his teeth will be blocked even if he drinks cold water. Hei Xiaohua originally thought that the black mist would not rise again, but just when he was about to walk out of the mist valley, a dark wall of mist actually blocked in front of him.
When he saw this black mist, he was frightened in his heart, and he quickly wanted to retreat, but the black mist behind him sensed "food" passing by, and slowly chased after him, sandwiching Hei Xiaohua in the middle.
Hei Xiaohua is not a fearless person, and naturally he is not willing to die for no reason. At the critical moment, he once again felt that mysterious feeling. With one move and ten dragons coming out of the sea, the wall of fog in front of him was instantly dispersed, and then he stumbled He broke out of the mist valley and fell into the grass on the side of the road...
"Ah sneeze..." After sneezing again, Hei Xiaohua rubbed his sore body. Now that he has passed through the mist valley, it is time to return to the Jinpeng tribe...
Although Jin Gui indirectly killed the Black Peng people, which made him feel a trace of hatred, he didn't want his adoptive father to worry after all.
The two times when the ten dragons went out to sea almost took away all his strength. By the time he got close to the Jinpeng tribe, he was already out of breath, his face was pale, he felt that his chest was pressed against his back, and his eyes were filled with stars.
"Huh?" Just when Hei Xiaohua was breathing heavily, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a golden light passing above his head. He rubbed his eyes, but the golden light suddenly disappeared.
He just thought he was dazzled, adjusted his clothes a few times, and used the remaining strength to continue walking towards the Jinpeng clan's gate.
…
In front of the Jinpeng clan's gate, there were still the two guards from that day, but now they were much more energetic than before, and they didn't even look sleepy at all. At this time, the two of them were whispering, as if discussing something.
"Hey, Third Young Master arranged our affairs...did you hear that?" The guard on the right said excitedly with his eyes shining.
"Nonsense! We were all present at the time. I'm not deaf. How could I not hear?" the man on the left sneered, and then pretended to sigh: "From now on, we will be the confidants of the Third Young Master, and we are also standing today. The last post! When we become successful in the future, we can also tell future generations the inspirational story of how we suffered all the way!"
"Inspirational? I think you are just teaching the experience of being lazy!" The man on the right was quite disdainful, "I didn't think so much. When I achieve success in the future... I will definitely find a beautiful girl to marry!"
"Look at your potential!" Zuo Zuo sneered, and then said maliciously: "The two maids who took care of the Seventh Princess we just met are quite good. I think they are quite suitable for you! What do you think? ?”
The two of them originally wanted to flatter Jin Gyu, but unexpectedly they were assigned a job to take care of the Seventh Princess, and were scolded by King Jinpeng. Fortunately, King Jinpeng didn't want to pay much attention to the two of them. He just asked them to call the maid later and sent them away.
It was not difficult to convey King Jinpeng's order, and they didn't take it to heart. Anyway, they had to guard the gate later, so they stopped by to convey it.
These two maids were specially arranged by King Jinpeng and usually stayed behind closed doors. This was the first time they greeted each other head-on. But after coming into close contact with the two of them, they felt an indescribable chill in their hearts. The gossip they originally wanted to talk about was frozen back into their stomachs, and they could only leave the place in a hurry.
The person on the right shook his head and smiled when he heard this, especially when he thought about their gaffe just now, he also continued: "The maid arranged by King Jinpeng for the Seventh Princess is not a vulgar person! I am not worthy of her. …”
"I guess you have some self-awareness!" The man on the left naturally felt that the reason why he said this was just to make fun of him.
"Okay, okay! Let's not talk about this... How much have you heard about supplies? There is no one around now, please tell me quickly!" The person on the right didn't want to waste more time on this unnecessary topic, and suddenly lowered his voice. Ask the man on the left.
This time, they only knew that something was wrong with the supplies. Only the Third Young Master was left in the group and he returned in embarrassment. However, the two of them were of low status. As long as the Third Young Master didn't tell them, they naturally didn't dare to ask more questions.
"Oh, this is what I heard from the Third Young Master..."
The man on the left had just asked for hot milk from the Third Young Master. Not long after he left the house, he heard footsteps coming from the opposite direction behind him. As soon as he turned around, he saw the figure of King Jinpeng walking into Jin Gui's room. After the scolding ended, he heard Jin Gui crying and saying something.
This Jin Gui usually bullied others into crying, but when he cried, the man was curious, so he simply slowed down, stretched his ears to listen to the conversation in detail, and then left in a hurry.
"Third Young Master said...the Mist Valley swallowed up all the servants of the Black Peng tribe?" The man on the right heard this, his face full of disbelief.
"That's pretty much what I said." The guard on the left nodded.
"That's not right... I remember when we were taking care of the Third Young Master, he kept shouting when he was in a coma: Don't kill me, don't kill me... If it was really Misty Valley who did it, why would the Third Young Master have such intense emotions? Could it be that he Are... deceiving King Jinpeng?"
"Well, who knows? I can't directly question the Third Young Master, right? Forget it... Is this kind of thing beyond our control? We should just do our part in a down-to-earth manner! Yawn... I'm going to sleep first. If anyone comes, remember to call me..." The man on the left said something nice, but he lay down honestly.
"Hey... you... you said those Black Peng clan handymen were all swallowed up by the mist valley, right..." The voice of the man on the right suddenly trembled and he stammered.
"Huh, didn't you just ask... Since the Third Young Master can say this, there is no hope of survival! What's the matter? Are you still thinking about the Black Peng tribe's handyman? It's really too easy to worry about! Don't bother I…"
"I...I didn't mean that...you...look..." The guard on the right didn't dare to breathe, and his body was trembling and shaking the people on the ground.
"Are you...are you done...hiss..." This man was already sleepy, and was very upset by being shaken like this. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the direction of the person next to him, and instantly felt a chill in his back. I saw a pale figure with scars all over his body walking slowly from a distance. He suddenly woke up and asked, "Who is that? When did he appear?"
"I...I don't know...Looking at what he's wearing, he should be the little black flower from the Black Peng tribe, right..." the man trembled.
"Impossible! You... don't scare yourself! Someone must be pretending! That's right! Pretending!" The guard on the left was still sleepy, and felt cold sweat on his hands. "Listen to me! Let's go over and take a look together. after all!"
"Okay... go take a look!" The two gritted their teeth, supported each other, and slowly approached the uninvited guest in the night.
…
"Have we finally arrived..." Although the Jinpeng clan's gate was close at hand, Hei Xiaohua could not move even half an inch. She only felt that her legs were as heavy as lead.
These two times when the ten dragons went out to sea, one was for revenge and the other was for survival. They had already exhausted their little strength. Now they are able to support their return to the Jinpeng clan only because of their own perseverance. At this time, When he saw hope, it was finally shaky...
"Is there anyone...someone come to save me...I am Hei Xiaohua...I am so miserable..."
"Brother guard...are you there...someone will take me back..."
Hei Xiaohua tore her throat, and her voice turned into a painful moan when it reached her mouth...
At ordinary times, the gate of the Jinpeng Clan was always guarded. Hei Xiaohua thought he saw hope, but what he received was an indifferent cool breeze, which made him feel cold towards the Jinpeng Clan...
"Jin Gyu... just wait... even if you die! I won't let you go..."
