Chapter 128 Revisiting Cyanwood Cliff

"Are we going to Qingmu Cliff again?" Haitang asked, blinking.

"It's not us, it's me." Xie Ruitan curled up his index finger, scratched her nose, and said with a smile: "How can I be willing to let my princess go on adventures?"

"Where can there be a princess without a king?" Haitang grabbed his index finger that was scratching his nose. "I want to go with you. At worst, I will wait for you on the ground. Now that I know there is poison there, I feel more at ease if I stay closer to you." Some. What’s more, there is news about Prince Chu..."

Xie Ruitang was a little moved. He pulled Haitang into his arms and said with a chuckle: "Don't worry, we're not married yet. How can I bear to get into trouble? We will all be fine. You can go and bring Shuang'er with you." .”

Since something is fishy and I am afraid of having many nightmares at night, it is better to go early and have peace of mind!
Early on the next morning, Xie Ruitang, Yan Shiyi, Tang Yu, and Haitang, with a few guards, hurried to Qingmu Cliff.There was not much rest along the way, and in less than half a day, they arrived near Qingmu Cliff.

They found the place where the horses were hidden last time. Although the vegetation was now withered and yellow, the dead branches of the shrubs were high and dense enough.Shuang'er took out a few grasses and let the horse smell them, and the horse stood still quietly.Xie Ruitang asked worriedly: "If I have to leave temporarily, will the horse be able to wake up?"

"This is a medicine to calm animals, not a drug to intoxicate them. If you are worried, find a sharp object and stab it at the horse's ear, and it will recover after just one stab." Haitang said, pointing to the part on the horse's ear. acupuncture points.

Several people went up to the cave halfway up the mountain.This time they came prepared. Both Haitang and Ji'er were wearing men's clothes, making it much easier to move around than last time.Ling Xue and An Qing went down to investigate, while the others waited quietly in the cave.

After a while, Ling Xue and the others came back.

"A group of people just left. These people go out regularly to replenish food. Now there is no movement below. If we go down now, we can probably have an hour." An Qing said.After squatting for three days, they found that people at the foot of the cliff were going up and down the cliff in a regular pattern, so this time they planned to go down at dawn.

Haitang, Shuang'er and Shishi stayed on the ground to provide support. The other men all covered themselves with scarves and slipped down the cliff along the rope.

This time, the facial towels they used were specially made by Haitang.Last time, I used a piece of ordinary cloth to cover my face. This time, I used six layers of gauze stacked together. After putting the medicine on it, I sewed it all around. The gauze itself was soaked in the detoxification potion and left to dry.Before going down the cliff, Haitang asked them to take detoxification pills in advance.Each person was also given a bottle of medicinal powder, which could be used to drive away poisonous insects and snakes.

After a while, several ropes were loosened one after another, and there was no sound at the bottom of the cliff. Haitang knew that they had reached the bottom of the cliff and landed.As agreed, Fifteen quickly gathered a few ropes together and hid them behind the leaves of the creeping plant.In this way, even if someone comes suddenly, you won't be able to see that someone has climbed down the cliff.

This time they went down the cliff relatively smoothly. The wasp miasma did not harm them. When they landed, they had the same experience as Yan Shiyi did last time. Instead of landing directly with both feet, he kicked his feet towards the stone wall and jumped a few steps away before landing. , none of them triggered the mechanism.They worked in pairs, followed the road at the bottom of the cliff, and headed toward the cave deep in the valley.

Suddenly, Yan Shiyi stopped and grabbed Xie Ruitang, who was about to walk into the cave. As soon as the two of them hid against the stone wall, they heard the voices of two men inside.A man complained: "It's really bad luck! Just when it was our turn to go out to let the wind go, two of them died, and now we have to drag them out to be buried!"

Another man said: "The pits are all ready, push them down and finish the job, and I won't let you burn incense and kowtow. Even if we kill two people, you don't know how you will punish us."

"Hey! It's okay. Those in the prison will die, but the one in the small cell will not die. The thin man and the others are going to get a dozen more in the next two days. I heard that they are all very skilled people. They are really unlucky. , you deserve to be tortured here, alive or dead..." The voice slowly came closer, and sure enough, he saw two men slowly dragging two corpses out. When they got out of the cave, Yan Shiyi was lightning fast. Two money darts flew out, and before the two men could even grunt, their throats were cut. Blood spurted out and they fell to the ground.

Xie Ruitang and Eleven quickly stepped forward. Yan Eleven picked up his money dart, wiped it on the man's clothes, and put it back in his sleeve.Ling Xue and Tang Yu also arrived, and the four of them dragged the body to the grass nest and hid it.

Tang Yu squatted down and looked at the two corpses that were dragged out, and said in amazement: "These two people are so strange! The skin and flesh are black and blue, obviously poisoned for a long time, but the corpses are fresh and dead Moreover, their skin is hard and not like ordinary people.”

Xie Ruitang had an ominous premonition in his heart: "It's not easy here. After entering the cave, be careful, and try not to start a confrontation before finding out their details. It's important to save your life." He whispered.After hiding the body, several people covered their faces, divided into two groups and entered the cave.

An Qing and Chu Yi walked very fast.After entering the cave, they found that the top of the cave was full of large and small stone milk protrusions. The two of them practiced light kung fu, and with the help of those raised stones, they walked upside down against the roof of the cave like a gecko.

After all, what they saw at the top of the cave was somewhat different from what they saw on the ground. They just missed the two men dragging the body and followed the torches on the cave wall as they walked inside.

Suddenly, the passage became spacious, dense fire appeared in front, and the surroundings were bright.By the light of the fire, An Qing and Chu Yi saw the familiar wooden fence, as if they were in a prison.Hearing the footsteps, the two of them did not dare to move forward and hid in the shadows with bated breath.

"Anzi, have you fed him the poison today?" a middle-aged male voice asked.

"Not yet. The Heavenly Master said to wait until the nails turn white before feeding them. They are still black. If I feed them again, I am afraid that the poison will be severe. If this one is poisoned to death, I will not be able to pay for it with my life." ." Another young male voice explained.

"Well, you're still careful. Two more people were found dead this morning. It's really a waste of so much medicine, and we still take care of it every day. Although our Five Poison Sect is a small sect, we can't be seen by Uncle Guo. Damn it! If the uprising succeeds this time, we can have a place in the world."

The man named Anzi smiled and said: "Don't worry, I am in a small cell, so naturally I have to manage it more carefully. If I were in charge of a large prison with so many people, how could I take care of it? Master, you said I was fed with poison like this Can humans still be humans? They look terrible."

"Why isn't that a human? He's still breathing." The master smiled and said, "We have to wait anyway, let's go, come back after eating." The two of them left while talking.

Chu Yi looked into the prison from the shadows and was shocked. Just as he was about to jump down desperately, An Qing grabbed him and shouted to him in a low voice: "Don't be impulsive!"

"Let me go! The person inside is the Crown Prince!"
