married daughter

Chapter 373 Chapter 469~470 Treasure
Can the emperor say no now?He didn't have mind reading skills, so he couldn't guess what Jun Lanzhou and Ruan Yunting meant, and the people around him got separated.At this time, if Ruan Yunting and his party had any malicious intentions, they would definitely be buried here.But now his safety is no longer decided by keeping them or not.

The emperor smiled calmly: "It is fate to meet the two of you here, how could I refuse? Please."

Ruan Yunting and Jun Lanzhou smiled at each other, spread a blanket on the other side of the bonfire and sat on the ground. The ten guards they brought were guarding the entrance of the cave and outside the cave, which was equivalent to confining the emperor and the two guards. In the cave.

The two parties were silent, each took dry food and ate casually. Both the emperor and Ruan Yunting knew that everyone gathered here for the same purpose, but they didn't reveal it.

Looking at the emperor who was resting leisurely, Ruan Yunting felt a killing intent in her heart.Perhaps in the future there will never be such an easy opportunity to take the emperor's dog's head.She looked at Jun Lanzhou, and their eyes met. Jun Lanzhou seemed to understand her meaning, and shook his head with a smile.

Ruan Yunting frowned. In fact, Jun Lanzhou didn't need to explain more, she already understood the reason for his next decision.When the emperor dies, the world will be in chaos. Han Su is at the border, and they are outside, and they are not strong enough. Maybe others will take advantage of the ready-made bargains, and in turn will kill Han Su and them. It is better to recharge your energy and wait. The timing is to save the emperor's life first, and then take it later.

Ruan Yunting lowered her eyes, grabbed a branch and threw it into the fire, but black smoke rose, and Ruan Yunting coughed, and the emperor leaned back.

Seeing this, Jun Lanzhou chuckled: "Little fool, it just snowed, and the outside of the branches are all wet, and of course it will smoke when lit." He pulled out the dagger hidden in his boots, and wiped the outside of the branches wet with snow. Peel it off, leaving only the dry part inside, throw it into the fire, and the campfire will burn up all of a sudden, making a crackling sound.

"Look, it's just fine."

Ruan Yunting nodded with a smile: "You are still smart."

The emperor also said: "Master Jun is very experienced."

Jun Lanzhou narrowed his eyes with a half-smile, "Thank you, Your Majesty, otherwise where would I have the chance to get to know these things?"

The emperor's smile remained unchanged, as if Jun Lanzhou's words hadn't affected his mood at all, and he looked at Jun Lanzhou domineeringly.Jun Lanzhou was still smiling, not afraid of the emperor's eyes, and his smile became more mocking.

The two groups rested overnight in the cave, and the ten guards brought by Ruan Yunting and Jun Lanzhou took turns to guard them, so they had a good night's sleep.The two guards beside the emperor did not dare to close their eyes, and the emperor couldn't sleep well.

Waking up early in the morning, when the two groups were eating together, Ruan Yunting asked about the emperor's guards. The emperor only said that there was poisonous fog ahead, and they separated.

Ruan Yunting and Jun Lanzhou knew in their minds that since they were separated, they might meet again if they leave this cave, but they still have to search for treasures, so naturally they won't stay here for long.

Pulling aside the dry vines covering the entrance of the cave, the goal is the dimly lit forest. Looking around, the surrounding scenery is the same, and you can't tell the direction at all.

Jun Lanzhou held Ruan Yunting's hand, and more than a dozen guards scattered around, protecting Ruan Yunting, Jun Lanzhou and the emperor.After walking forward for a while, he heard the sound of rushing water. The emperor said vigilantly, "There is a small waterfall near here. I encountered the poisonous fog here yesterday and got separated from the guards."

Ruan Yunting became nervous.After living three lifetimes, this is the first time she has entered such a weird jungle, and the rumors describe it as miraculous. Even if Jun Lanzhou has been holding her hand and passing on the warmth continuously, she still feels shivering down her spine. cold.

How poisonous is the poisonous fog?
The group of people slowed down, and they were extremely careful every time they advanced a certain distance, for fear that if they missed half a step, they would cause trouble. All kinds of weeds that cannot be named on the ground seem to hide a huge crisis.

"Don't be afraid, nothing will happen." Sensing Ruan Yunting's nervousness, Jun Lanzhou comforted her with a smile: "It's not that no one has been to the valleys of Yunshan and Chongshan, and everyone else is fine, just be more careful. "

Yes, the dragon's veins are hidden here. To build such a project must require a lot of manpower.It's just that according to Ruan Yunting's limited knowledge, it seems that all the craftsmen who built such secret projects had to be buried alive in order to prevent leaking the location.

No wonder the forest is so cloudy!

Ruan Yunting shuddered again.The hands that were too warm in the winter became even colder.

The sound of the waterfall gradually became clearer, and what came into view was a steep mountain wall. Looking up, a silver-white waterfall slanted down from a height of more than ten feet, and gathered under the mountain wall to form a clear water with a radius of about three feet. Although it is winter in the pool, this place is not close to the northernmost point, and the current is very fast, so it has not frozen.

On the opposite side of the waterfall, that is, on the side of the pool, there is an open space where purple velvet grass grows, and further ahead, there is a dense forest, in which the purple mist is lingering, which looks mysterious and weird.

Ruan Yunting pointed to the purple mist in the forest and asked, "Your Majesty, do you think that is poisonous mist?"

"Exactly." The emperor looked forward, his royal blue cloak was blown by the wind, and his gaze was fixed somewhere in the forest.

Ruan Yunting and Jun Lanzhou followed his line of sight, as if someone was coming from the opposite forest. The sound of the huge waterfall was mixed with the shouts of those people in the distance, as if they were shouting "" master."

The emperor obviously heard it too, he didn't say much, but raised his arm and waved.Seeing this, the two guards beside him hurriedly waved their arms forward and shouted: "Here! Master is here!"

The people in the forest rushed over when they saw the commotion here, Ruan Yunting didn't need to count them, but looked at the people who gathered here in the forest, there were at least 50 people.

I don't know if it was her illusion, but she felt that the emperor's back straightened all of a sudden, with his hands behind his back, and he regained his aura of looking down on the world.

"Master!" The leader came to the front and knelt down on one knee to salute: "The subordinates are not well protected, and the master is frightened."

"Exemption." The emperor smiled and said, "What about the rest?"

"Nearly ten people were lost, and more than 48 people were separated. At present, [-] people are gathered here."

"Hmm." The emperor turned his head and looked at Jun Lanzhou with a half-smile, his eyes seemed to say: Look, the situation has reversed.

But Ruan Yunting and Jun Lanzhou are not nervous, they have written a letter to Prince Duan for their visit, if they have something, Prince Duan will definitely send troops to Daliang, Daliangzheng and Nanchu Xingbing will never cause trouble for themselves.Just like how Jun Lanzhou hated the emperor, but still managed to keep him alive rationally, the same is true for the emperor.

Sure enough, when the emperor's men arrived, they did nothing but ask, "Can you find any suspicious caves nearby?"

"Return to the master, not ever."

"Really." The emperor touched his chin, stood in front of the waterfall, looked up at the mountain wall about ten feet high and the dry vines extending to both sides.

"Could it be on the Insect Mountain?"

Jun Lanzhou was also observing the terrain. Although the two rooms did not expressly stated that they were for the same purpose, there was no need to hide it at this time. If you choose a safe place, you will definitely choose such a place.”

The emperor nodded: "You are right. It is recorded in the book that there are often wild beasts in this valley. If a group of people like us gather here, we may attract some poisonous snakes and beasts. We should leave as soon as possible."

At this moment, Ruan Yunting suddenly heard a movement in the forest behind her, and when she looked back, she saw a flock of birds flying away.

Jun Lanzhou said in surprise: "No, there are people!"

As if to confirm his words, there was a rustling sound from the forest behind him. Hearing the sound, it could not be those who were separated from the emperor. The black spots gradually enlarged, and four people gathered in the open space. There were 50 people, the leader of whom was wearing a crescent-white book long gown, with a handsome face and sharp edges, and a rough and masculine smile. He approached step by step with his hands behind his back, and his footsteps landed on the deep purple velvet grass on the ground without a sound.

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect the emperor to come here in person." He looked at Jun Lanzhou and Ruan Yunting: "It's even more unexpected that you will help the evildoers."

The fifty bodyguards of the emperor showed their weapons and protected the emperor among them.

All the men brought by Xiao Beishu also drew their swords, and the two sides were in a tense situation.Xiao Beishu was equal to the emperor's manpower.

The ten guards brought by Ruan Yunti and Jun Lanzhou became the key to the outcome of the confrontation between the emperor and Xiao Beishu.

"Lan Zhou." Xiao Beishu said impassionedly: "You and I are friends after all, I still kindly remind you that the person you are helping now is the enemy who killed your biological father, and also the enemy who killed my father! You and me We are friends and have a common enemy, why don't you stand by my side, let's work together to kill the dog emperor and avenge my father!"

Jun Lanzhou hid the true thoughts in his heart, and sneered: "Do you think I will continue to believe your words? Who was assassinated and killed my biological father remains to be investigated, but I did almost die in your hands a few days ago, you If you want me to stand by your side, how would you know that I don't want to take revenge!"

Xiao Beishu narrowed his eyes when he heard the words.He understands Jun Lanzhou's temperament and understands his wisdom even more.If he couldn't even guess what he had guessed in his heart, wouldn't the friendship for so many years be in vain?
"Ting'er." Xiao Beishu turned to Ruan Yunting and said earnestly: "You are now the Duanyang Princess of Xiwu Kingdom, why bother to cross the muddy water of this mess? Although Big Brother Xiao has something to do But you are still my sister in my heart. Let me be the big brother to advise you, you and Lan Zhou should leave quickly, this is not a place to play. "

Ruan Yunting looked at Xiao Beishu's serious expression, and it was difficult to tell whether his words were true or not, but no matter whether they were true or not, she had her own considerations, and with a wave of her hand, the ten guards backed away knowingly .

The emperor sneered when he saw this, but Xiao Beishu was full of confidence. He couldn't win Ruan Yunting and Jun Lanzhou to be his side, at least he had to ensure that they would not help the emperor.The people he brought were all elites, and they were equal to the emperor's manpower. He was sure of winning this battle.

Xiao Beishu drew out the sword at his waist, pointed the sword point at the emperor, and said coldly: "You killed my father and took away the country that belonged to him, and now you still have the face to continue to be the king of a country?"

The emperor frowned, and said sternly: "The former prince colluded with other countries for the purpose of rebellion, the evidence is solid, the former emperor's imperial pen personally exiled him, and he was spared. It was his own fate that died on the way, so what has I to do with you! "

"Bah!" Xiao Beishu spat angrily: "You know best what you have done, why can't you lose face after I exposed your embarrassment!?"

Veins bulged on Emperor Qian's head, "Back then, I really shouldn't have softened my heart and spared your life, the son of a traitor!"

"Yeah, you shouldn't soften your heart and listen to your slut mother!"

"Shut up!" The emperor roared like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, "Here, take down the traitor!"

"Yes!"

……

Ruan Yunting and Jun Lanzhou retreated to the forest with ten guards, and saw Xiao Beishu fighting with the emperor's men. Ruan Yunting never knew that Xiao Beishu had such powerful martial arts, which was even more powerful than the last time Xi When Xun was hunted down, his kung fu became more refined, and taking human life was as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.

For a while, the sounds of clashing weapons and shouts of fighting and killing could be heard endlessly, covered by the roar of the waterfall, and a strong smell of blood permeated the air.

Has Ruan Yunting ever seen such a scene like Shura's hell?In an instant, someone's arm was cut off, and someone's head and neck were separated...

Ruan Yunting hid behind Jun Lanzhou, she no longer dared to look and listen.

In the blink of an eye, both Xiao Beishu and the emperor's people suffered losses.Protected by guards, the emperor retreated to the pool.

Xiao Beishu was full of confidence. Although he couldn't bring all of his people into the valley, the people who followed him were all elites. He had a map hidden in his body, and he followed the route indicated by the map without encountering any danger along the way. However, the emperor was just the opposite. A large number of people stayed outside the valley, and a small number of guards were dispersed by obstacles such as poisonous fog and insects.

As long as he kills the emperor, then takes the treasures, possesses wealth that is rich in the world, and possesses the magical weapons recorded in the Atlas of the God of War, this country is his!
Just as the emperor's side was gradually losing ground, there was a sudden rustling sound in the forest.

Ruan Yunting turned her head, looked in horror at the dots of green light that were approaching in the forest, and exclaimed: "It's a pack of wolves!" The smell of blood must have attracted the pack of wolves!
This exclamation startled everyone, and they all stopped and looked into the forest. In the dim light, they could see a dense forest of cold green light slowly approaching, while the pack of wild wolves walking ahead and leaving the shadow of the forest were cautiously approaching. .

Jun Lanzhou pulled Ruan Yunting, and was forced out of the woods by wolves under the protection of ten guards. He had no choice but to come to the open space where the dead bodies were everywhere. Xiao Beishu and the emperor also gave up. More than a hundred people Now there are about forty people left in total, and many of them are wounded, holding their weapons nervously, watching the pack of wild wolves leave the woods.

It is not a group of wild wolves, but many groups gathered here. Looking up, there are more than a hundred wolves.

There are more than a hundred wild wolves, and four or fifty humans, and half of them are wounded. It is clear at a glance who is superior and who is inferior.

"How to do?"

"Don't show any flaws, you must hold on!"

"No way, there are so many wolves, how can we beat them!"

"Could it be that our brothers died when the enemy fell, but were buried in the belly of wolves!"

……

At this moment, no matter if it is from Xiwu or Daliang, whether it is Xiao Beishu's people or the emperor's people, everyone is afraid, the wild wolf gradually shrinks the encirclement, and everyone gradually retreats.

I don't know who it was, dropped the weapon nervously, bent over to pick it up, the head wolf raised his head and howled, and the wolves rushed towards the crowd like crazy.

"Ting'er, don't be afraid!" Jun Lanzhou pulled out the dagger and tightly guarded Ruan Yunting behind her. However, the wild wolf was fast and rushed to the front in the blink of an eye. Some tore the corpses on the ground, and more attacked crowd.

Jun Lanzhou tightly held the dagger in his hand, watching the guards in front of him fighting with the wild wolves one by one, some were injured, some fell down, and it was his turn soon, he just felt anxious, but he didn't care, and fought hard , even if she was injured a little, she could always escape, but he brought Ruan Yunting, who was powerless, let alone being bitten by a wolf, even if she was caught, she couldn't bear it!Jun Lanzhou could only pull Ruan Yunting back.

The emperor was also pale with fright, and was backed away by several guards.

The sound of howling wolves, screams, and fighting was filled with blood.

The few people who escaped were finally surrounded by several hungry wolves.

Jun Lanzhou held Ruan Yunting in one hand, and waited with a dagger in the other. However, wolves are extremely intelligent animals, they know how to fight alone and win by numbers, and three wild wolves pounced on Ruan Yunting and Jun Lanzhou together. Come here, even if Jun Lanzhou has the ability to reach the sky, it is impossible to fight these three together!

Ruan Yunting closed her eyes in fright, and the turbulent wind rushed in front of her face. She never imagined that her second rebirth would end up in the belly of a wolf. Poor Jun Lanzhou, who was dragged down by her...

Thinking like this, the expected pain did not come. He opened his eyes and saw a tall figure in a white book long shirt standing in front of him. Xiao Beishu's left arm was bitten by a hungry wolf, and he was slashing at the wolf with his sword. head.

"Brother Xiao!" Ruan Yunting blurted out in desperation.

Jun Lanzhou slashed open a hungry wolf, and turned to look at Xiao Beishu complicatedly.

However, the battle between man and wolf is not a battle at all, but a unilateral massacre by wild beasts.

Xiao Beishu's left arm was bitten, and the blood flowed profusely. If this continued, he would die too. With a deep sigh in his heart, he jumped to the water pool about three feet wide under the waterfall with enough light work.

Out of the corner of Ruan Yunting's eyes, she saw him flying away, tapping a stone in the middle of the pool, and then flew into the cold and straight water of the waterfall.

"Lan Zhou!" She only had time to call him, but before she could say a word to remind her, Jun Lanzhou had already picked her up, exerted all her strength, and jumped over according to the route Xiao Beishu just made.

"Ting'er, breathe in!"

Before entering the water curtain, Jun Lanzhou quickly reminded him.Ruan Yunting took a deep breath, only to hear the roar of water in her ears, her whole body felt like falling into an ice cellar, her eyes were dark, and water was everywhere around her.

This fear only lasted for a moment, and when they opened their eyes again, they had already landed on the wet rocky ground.After the waterfall, there is a hole in the sky!
Xiao Beishu leaned against the damp rock wall with a pale face, wet hair sticking to his face, and tore off the hem of the soaked robe with one hand to bandage his injured left arm, "You guys followed quickly. The dog emperor had better be The wolf ate it!"

Ruan Yunting looked at Xiao Beishu complicatedly, seeing his blood dripping left hand unnaturally hanging down beside her, feeling lingering fear in her heart.If he hadn't blocked that blow for her, she would be the one who was injured now.

Jun Lanzhou wiped the blood from the dagger on the bottom of her boots, first took off the drenched cloak on Ruan Yunting's body and left it on the ground, and rubbed her shoulders, "Fortunately, the clothes are thick, and the jacket inside is not stained. Wet, you dry your hair quickly, don't get sick."

"Well, Brother Xiao, he..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jun Lanzhou had already thrown off his cloak, and only wearing the plain white robe underneath, he arrived in front of Xiao Beishu and bandaged his wound nimbly.

Xiao Beishu leaned against the wall, raised his head and closed his eyes: "I thought you would kill me with a knife."

"You saved Ting'er. It will be your favor."

"But I almost killed you too."

"I haven't forgotten, I won't let you go next time." Jun Lanzhou glanced at him and said with difficulty.

The two of them had been best friends, closest confidants.But it was because of Xiao Beishu's ambition that they split up to this point. However, how can people's feelings be eliminated if they are eliminated?Even if Xiao Beishu had thought of killing Jun Lanzhou, he still had feelings for Jun Lanzhou, and so did Jun Lanzhou.

Ruan Yunting felt like she was alive after a catastrophe. The "Water Curtain Cave" is not very big, and there are gusts of cold wind blowing from the cave, obviously there is a passage inside.Thinking of Xiao Beishu rushing into the cave without hesitation in a hurry, it is obvious that he knew that there is a cave here. Could it be that he has a treasure map on his body, and here is the location marked on the treasure map, so it is also Is that where the treasure is?
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard a strange noise behind him, and four more people fell in. The emperor put his hands on the ground, coughed and wiped water from his face, and the other three guards were also injured to varying degrees. It took all the strength to bring the emperor here.

Xiao Beishu's eyes turned cold. He had no choice but to enter the cave behind the waterfall in order to escape, but unexpectedly revealed the location of the underground palace to the emperor.

The emperor took off his sapphire blue cloak, put on a robe with nine dragons and pearls inside, wiped his face with his sleeve, and waved to the four guards behind him, who immediately understood and rushed towards Xiao Beishu.

Seeing this, Ruan Yunting said, "Stop it, Your Majesty, can you listen to me!"

The four moved without hesitation, pushed Jun Lanzhou away, and surrounded the injured Xiao Beishu.

The emperor raised his eyebrows: "Oh? What does Princess Duanyang have to say?"

"Your Majesty, since we have arrived here, there are wolves outside the waterfall, so we must not be able to get out. You are in a hurry to arrest Mr. Xiao. Do you want to execute the law on the spot? Don't you want to find the location of the underground palace? Let go of the grievances, it is serious for our group to find the treasure in the underground palace, as for the future, it will not be too late to deal with it later."

The emperor looked at Xiao Beishu for a while, as if considering his ability, and then thought about how tragic the situation outside was besieged by wolves, before nodding his head for a while: "Forget it. Since I can come here, it is a chance. Let's go inside and see Let's see if the underground palace is here."
