MTL - All Over the World To Save My Wife-Chapter 10 The emperor and his daughter (9)
============================
"Why don't you stay here, sir?"
Inquired from the yamen where the Temple of Witchcraft was located, walked out of the yamen, and Gu Zhong suggested.
"Your Highness wants to go to that witch temple to find out in person?"
"The people in this city seem to be possessed by something, so madly believe in this witch god. It makes Gu more and more want to see how different this witch religion is.
What's more, even the two little yamen noticed the terrifying aspects of witchcraft, but the officials of the entire Beiling County remained silent? What is the reason? Strange. "
"Remember, Your Highness, that I was helped by Shamanism in the founding of the country. It is Your Majesty who quasi-shamanism preaches, who can object?
Furthermore, the interests are touching, and it is not surprising that the aristocratic families in the county are involved in it.
It just so happens that this minister also wants to see His Majesty. Your Highness will not satisfy your curiosity, right? "
Ling Yan rejected Gu Zhong's request.
"...I'm afraid of danger, sir, don't go."
Gu Zhong is rarely tough, maybe he really sensed the omen of danger, but he didn't want Ling Yan to take risks.
"Chen An dares to make the lord come forward, Your Highness... Has Your Majesty told you that even Lieutenant Wang can't win against the minister? There are still some powerful ministers who can protect themselves."
Ling Yan gave Gu Zhong a fluttering glance, and she was quite proud in her words.
Lieutenant Wang is the head of the Kyoto garrison, and his martial arts are superb.
If Ling Yan can beat him, then everyone present is truly unbeatable.
Gu Zhong looked at his husband dazedly, didn't react for a while, isn't he just a weak scholar?
Several people followed the direction pointed by the yamen and went to a hill on the outskirts of the city. The snow in the mountains has not yet melted, and the artificially stepped path into the mountain seems clear. Just follow the path with the deepest traces, and there is no doubt that you can reach the place where people live.
Clothes.
A man in a black witch costume and a bone mask at the front chanted and danced at times. In Gu Zhong's view, it was all a trick.
Another middle-aged man in an official uniform stood quietly by the side, but his expression could not be seen clearly from the distance.
When a huge wooden box was carried into the temple, it should be the so-called "tribute", but they came a lot late, and I don't know what was inside.
These poor people who have just suffered from the snowstorm, have no food and clothing, are now willing to donate to the so-called witch gods.
The ceremony appears to be over after the contribution below. After three prostrations, the people got up and retreated. During the period, they were orderly and extremely quiet, like dolls being manipulated one by one, making one's scalp tingle.
The second they jumped off the heights, the man in the witch costume looked over with a burning gaze, his eyes wandered for a while, but he turned his head again when he found no trace of anyone.
"Back to Beiling." Gu Zhong pursed his lips, his eyes filled with anger.
"Your Highness?"
Ling Yan guessed that, based on the current situation, the people could not ask anything, but they would startle the snake.
The local aristocrats and the Shamanism are in sympathy, and the county magistrates said by the two yamen officers are forced to be helpless and cannot be taken seriously.
It is the best policy to go back to Beiling to make a long-term plan.
Fortunately, since I came to the north, I have the habit of carrying dry food with me whenever I travel, so I won’t be hungry after a long journey.
The sun gradually fell to the west, and the surrounding snow-capped mountains lost their radiance and became dim.
Everything around was extremely quiet, except for the dull rustling of horses' hooves falling on the snow, and they were less than twenty miles away from the county town.
Ling Yan was only half a horse behind Gu Zhong, and when she was sensitively aware of the ambush, she pulled out the folding fan pinned to her waist, stretched out her hand to block Gu Zhong, When it unfolded, it turned out to be a stainless steel fan, from which the sharp arrow was broken.
"There is an ambush!"
"Protect Your Highness!"
The guards who only reacted have pulled their knives on guard. A rain of arrows came from a high place not far away, making a lore.
Ling Yan didn't have time to think about whether it was the murder caused by the investigation of witchcraft, or the ambush set up by the former chaotic officials to assassinate the concubine. knocked down.
The arrow formation used by the assassins to ambush can only be activated once. After a shower of arrows, a dozen men in black jumped out of their hiding places and moved towards them at a very high speed.
These people have similar skills in martial arts, and they are extremely cunning and ruthless. The elite soldiers raised were on a par with the Gyeonggi Guards that Gu Zhong brought.
At this time, the little highness really realized how strong his husband's so-called self-protection was. Ling Yan flew out with a folding fan, just like folding grass. Assassin makes knife in hand.
If you don't consider that protecting Gu Zhong is the most important thing, you need to stand with him without leaving an inch. I am afraid that this group of assassins will come down from close proximity and it will only take a cup of tea .
With Ling Yan's help from time to time, even though there were many assassins, their arms were cut off one after another, and those who wanted to escape were cut off mercilessly. legs and feet.
A fierce battle ended with few injuries on their side.
"Take it back and interrogate it strictly." Gu Zhong ordered.
"Yes!"
Two guards stepped forward to tie up the assassins with broken hands and feet, so that they could be transported back to the city.
Unexpectedly, the moment they got close, the two assassins smiled awkwardly, exposed the blades between their teeth, and killed them with one knife.
Gu Zhong watched the people who were still alive today turn into lifeless corpses in an instant.
The remaining two guards are even more stunned, and their comrades have died in front of them for many years, so that they have the heart of the assassin.
But before they could do anything, the two assassins seemed to have completed their final mission, foaming at the mouth and twitching, and then there was no movement.
"Not good!"
Ling Yan's expression changed, and he moved quickly to the front of an assassin who fell on the ground, stretched out his hand and forcefully removed his jaw, but the other assassins swallowed it faster and hid it in his mouth of poison, and died in an instant.
"Dead man..." Gu Zhong sneered.
"Gu Ke really has a face, and someone sent a dead man to assassinate Gu."
Ling Yan will not be able to speak and cut off his limbs, and can only drag the last assassin who is glaring at them and chained to his horse.
"Your Highness, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time. Return to the city later and punish people to clean up the mess."
The two guards also knew that the safety of the wife was more important, so they had to let their companions expose the dead body in tears.
When the group of people got on the horse and was about to leave, Ling Yan heard a strange "boom" with his unusual hearing.
She looked up at the surrounding landforms, and was horrified to find that there was only a long and narrow path, surrounded by mountains, and they were in a very low depression.
"Come on!" She whipped the whip on the black horse that Gu Zhong was riding on, and the pained horse neighed and galloped at an extraordinary speed.
Ling Yan followed closely behind Gu Zhong, very nervous, she only wondered how the short and narrow valley had become so long at this time, and she wished to recover her divine power and send Gu Zhong directly back to Xijing.
The guards didn't know what to do, so they also ran wild.
Halfway through the journey, the rumbling sound can be heard by everyone, and other people just realize what kind of danger is coming.
"This is an avalanche?"
"How can there be an avalanche here?!"
The surrounding trees and mountain walls trembled, and layers of white mist rose from the high mountains and forests on both sides, and the originally tall withered trees were silently overwhelmed and buried.
They don't want to think about anything else, they just want to be faster, faster.
But the avalanche came so quickly, covering an unknown number of miles, how could it be possible to run out in just a few breaths?
A few seconds after they stepped out of the narrow path, the snow mist rolled down beside them, Ling Yan pounced on Gu Zhong, thinking that even if she could block the heavy snow for her, it would OK, but it's too late.
A piece of white covered the sky, covering the almost dim sky, the last afterglow of the sunset and the figure of Gu Zhong looking back in front.
Even if Ling Yan lost her divine power, she still had an unusual physique, and she did not lose consciousness because of being buried in snow.
After being buried in the snow, she didn't wait for the tremor of the avalanche to disappear, and she tried her best to drill up into the snow.
I don't know how thick the snow is piled above, there is no space under the snow, and it is almost impossible to get out of the snow from the bottom up.
She slammed into the snow with her fists, until her hands were bloodied, and a path was smashed abruptly.
When he climbed out of the snow pit, the sky was completely dark, and he couldn't tell the direction, let alone where Gu Zhong was buried.
"Gu Zhong..." Ling Yan shouted softly, her voice trembling slightly, she did not dare to be too loud, for fear of causing aftershocks after the avalanche.
Kneeling on the snow, as if she wanted to hear the reverberation of the ground, and then she went crazy, using those slender hands that were already bloody, who were originally writing the text, kept on digging snow.
I don't know how long it took, maybe an hour, maybe even longer, Ling Yan's hands had completely lost consciousness, and he just kept repeating the action of digging, and deep snow was dug out around him In the pit, she was able to drag her to a corner of her clothes.
"Gu Zhong, is that you? Gu Zhong..."
Even though she knew in her heart that ordinary people would lose consciousness if they were buried in snow, and no one would answer her, Ling Yan couldn't help but murmured, as if this way she could hold on and not fall.
