The man in brocade suddenly laughed.
Although it was beautiful in the past, the smile seemed a little empty and tired, but now it was full of excitement, and there was a hint of sarcasm.
Jing Hengbo, who was on the shore, vaguely saw this smile, and his heart skipped a beat.
This guy's expression doesn't look like he's about to become a hostage.
It's like the kind of feeling that he finally met his opponent and had a good fight, but he still has a little secret that he can hit with a backhand, and because someone can finally force him to use this secret, he feels satisfied and excited.
It's complicated to say, but a woman's intuition is often very accurate, she doesn't care whether the ice can bear your weight, and she jumps out.
But it was too late.
Suddenly a slender shadow protruded from the bank like lightning, wrapping around the waist of the man in brocade, he dragged the shadow, and pulled out the ice with a hey sound.
The sky was filled with shattered ice on the lake, and Mr. Mu's sword pierced through the shattered ice, snow and fog, making crackling and crackling sounds.
Jing Hengbo's body slid past the Jinyi man's feet, barely catching his ankle, and almost sank to the bottom of the lake due to the smell of feces from the bottom of his feet.
The man in brocade clothes flew in the air, and the broken ice fell like rain. Jing Hengbo, who was stuck on the ice, had to close his eyes and slide out of the lake.
When she reached the shore, she saw the man in brocade flying like a projectile, over her head, and landed on the undamaged side of Ningxue Pavilion.
When the success fell short, Jing Hengbo cursed: "I'm going to kill the **** who saved people!"
She clearly felt that the Jinyi man was trapped on the lake, what rescued him?
There was something on the shore, lying softly on the ground, it seemed to be the thing that pulled up the man in brocade at the critical moment.
Both Jing Hengbo and Mr. Mu believed that it must be a Heishuize beast like Hei Chi, which was domesticated by the Jinyi people and came to help, so they approached cautiously.
However, the thing was soft and motionless, as if it was still shrinking. The two looked at each other, thinking that the thing hadn't made a move yet, so why did they just pull it and eject the man in brocade clothes, that's all.
Jing Hengbo couldn't bear it anymore, stepped forward and kicked it, the touch felt wrong, after a closer look, he couldn't help but let out a "huh".
That thing is half green and half grayish brown, long and soft, it turned out to be a branch of a tree branch!
But the branch is extremely thick, almost like a child's arm, the front of the branch is still green with a few green leaves, but the back end is taupe, and the taupe is spreading towards the front at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Jing Hengbo watched the thick branches wither and decline one by one, and finally turned into a dead branch. Even the few green leaves withered instantly and fell off the branches.
It gives people the feeling that this branch has been infused or stimulated with vitality for an instant, and then it was taken away again.
Jing Hengbo turned his head to look at the shore. There were willow trees on the shore. Naturally, they had dried up in this weather, and they were exactly the same as the branches on the ground.
"The idea is born." She murmured.
"What?" Mr. Mu didn't understand.
Jing Hengbo shook his head, unable to explain. This is a kind of ability, which is very rare and high-end. It can instantly spawn life forms with thoughts. Their research institute does not have this kind of ability, but she has heard that someone can use thoughts to direct wheat seeds to germinate. But that is a matter of a few minutes or even a few hours. I have never heard of a willow branch being able to spring up in an instant.
But then again, mind powers belong to the category of spiritual power, and the cultivation of the ancients often followed the path of spiritual cultivation. Many mental methods are very clear, and the ability development of supernatural beings has effects that modern technology cannot achieve. .
Jing Hengbo himself also went to the Great Wilderness, learned the Mingyue mental method, and conducted targeted training, and his abilities improved by leaps and bounds. Her ability to control objects is also a kind of spiritual power, but she can't do it to give birth to life like Jin Yiren.
This is his trump card, right? Guaranteed never used it before.
Jing Hengbo had no choice but to follow back to the Ningxue Pavilion. The man in Jinyi had already changed his clothes. At such an important moment, instead of taking hostages to win the defeat, he quickly tidied himself up. Jing Hengbo smiled at him, Pointing to the hair, said: "Half your hair is long or short, is it uncomfortable?"
"Yes." The man in brocade actually admitted, then took a dagger from the guard, and cut off the long and short scorched hair in two or three strokes. , It was easy to match, and the hair was so short that it could only reach shoulder length.
Jing Hengbo laughed loudly, "What a childish figure!"
The Jinyi man touched it himself, but felt that he couldn't get used to it, and couldn't tie it up, so he simply shaved off his black hair with a flash of the knife.
"Amitabha." Jing Hengbo hugged his stomach with a smile, "Hello, Bald Donkey, are you cool, Bald Donkey?"
The bald donkey in brocade clothes ignored her, touched his bald head, stretched out his hand, and the guard pulled out a wig for him to put on as if by magic, and in an instant it was another noble man from Tsinghua University.
Jing Hengbo was dumbfounded... Is this okay?
Seeing how quickly he dressed himself up in a blink of an eye, it is estimated that there are many such emergencies, and he has to change every time. The guards are also used to it and have a full set of equipment ready at any time.
Jing Hengbo looked at those guards and sighed, people are really cheap, Jinyi people can torment people, these guards are still loyal, the Ningxue Pavilion was destroyed by Jinyi people just now, these people dodged bricks and tiles At the same time, he dragged away his precious baggage, and at the same time guarded the hostages tightly, and the sword in his hand was not three inches away from the hostage's throat no matter what. Once Jing Hengbo saw a piece of tile about to smash the head of a guard, and he figured that as long as this guy dodged, she would have a chance to save Pei Shu, but the guy was stunned, his head was bleeding one by one, and he didn't move a step. Great master, he just couldn't find a chance to save people.
Of course, if she knew that although the people in Jinyi were torturing people, they treated their subordinates well, which was rare in the world, and she would probably be able to understand why this happened. The man in Jinyi does not require the guards to be smart. He himself is one of the few smart people in the world. He does not care about wisdom. He only chooses people with excellent patience, temper, tenacity, and meticulousness. The emperor with every inch of land and money has his own house, and he can bring the family together, young and old. The annual salary exceeds the first-rank official, and he and his family can enjoy countless conveniences in the life of the imperial capital. The thing is that the younger brother of one of his guards got carbuncle sores. He pulled the judge from the imperial hospital who only saw the emperor from the bed, and went to see the doctor of his guard brother. For this, the emperor fined him a year's salary.
How could such a guard not work his life out with grand gestures and transparent actions.
Of course, there will also be some restrictive measures. People like Jin Yiren don't trust anyone easily. There are several types of guards around him, and the group in front of him may not be considered the most important.
Now, it's still the same as before, except that there are more ruins, and the man in brocade clothes doesn't look as fresh as before after all, with a big bruise on his face that is bright.
His complexion is not very good either - the lower body has not recovered yet, it is stiff and cold, he suspects that the ice just now is not ordinary ice, so don't destroy some important functions. Hurry up and heal your wounds.
So he said directly: "There is one more problem. If you solve it, I will release the three of you. But the premise is that you solve it alone."
For two or three people, he has to confess his life here, and there must be a limit to play, right?
"Okay." Seeing that he was finally happy, Jing Hengbo answered happily.
In any case, get the person first, before beating him up.
The man in Jinyi waved his hand, and the guards brought over a cabinet-like thing, round, with three panels separated, which can accommodate three people, and there are roulettes on the upper and lower sides, which can be rotated. It is the death roulette designed by the man in Jinyi himself. .
There was a well in the yard, which was a dry well. It was estimated that someone had died before. Each of the steel nails is a foot long, and the tip is glowing with a faint blue light, which is poisonous at first glance. Looking at the miserable color and light, Jing Hengbo's heart felt cold.
Is this man in brocade clothes just thinking about how to harm people all day long?
Jing Hengbo was very worried that someone would tamper with the well, but now the eight guards of Jinyiren were all on the ground.
A guard went down with steel nails on his back, and inserted the steel nails on the ground at the bottom of the well with the tip facing upwards. Anyone who fell would be smashed.
Then the others put the wheel on the mouth of the well. Then put the three hostages into the roulette, their hands and feet were locked, and there were swords on all sides.
Looking at the design, Jing Hengbo turned pale.
"Simple." The man in brocade clothes said with a smile, "The wooden board underneath is a trap, and the roulette will spin immediately, and one person will fall every time it turns. And the faster it turns, the more you have to do is to prevent them from falling. "
"You pervert!" Jing Hengbo cursed, "I lost one person in one lap, how could I save all three in time!"
Jing Hengbo can attack from multiple sides in a flat state, but the turntable is different. There must be a person on the back and in motion. She cannot grasp the situation on the back, so she is not sure to solve the front and back in an instant.
"This topic tells you," the man in Jinyi was unmoved, "In life, there are always many difficult choices. You can only save two of three people. You have to face who you choose and who you give up."
"I won't do this topic!" Jing Hengbo said angrily, "Let's fight to the death."
"Yes." The man in brocade immediately waved his hand, "Kill them."
The guards pointed their swords forward without hesitation. Jing Hengbo waved his hands and wanted to knock their swords away, but they learned how to behave, and the swords were also tied to their arms. Shout: "Stop!"
The man in Jinyi didn't even look at it, he had already expected it to be like this.
Meng Potian was tied to the roulette, and her position was the one with her back to Jing Hengbo. If nothing unexpected, it should be Zirui and Pei Shu who turned to Jing Hengbo first.
Meng Potian looked at the sky dejectedly, and sighed: "Farewell, heaven."
Looking at the ground again, he said affectionately: "Farewell, the earth."
Looking into the distance again, he said helplessly, "Farewell, my empty basket."
Finally, he said sadly: "Farewell, my silly old man. No one will settle accounts for you in your Crazy Sword League in the future. Be careful that those people will steal your money. Even if the Crazy Sword League is passed on to outsiders Don't pass it on to Lao Qi, he will definitely ruin your fortune..."
"What are you talking about so annoying." Pei Shu said angrily, "Can you be quieter?"
"I'm going to die." Meng Potian refused to give in, "You won't allow me to say goodbye?"
"Who said you were going to die?" Pei Shu muffled.
"Hehe." Meng Potian sneered, "I'm not a fool. The three hostages, you and the female officer belong to the queen, but I'm her enemy. She's not a pig brain, so I don't know who to save?"
"Sometimes she is a pig's brain." Pei Shu snorted.
"Come on." Meng Potian said, "I won't ask her to save me, and I can't afford to lose that person. In this case, she can't blame her if she saves you or not. I accept my fate, and there is only one request left, you give it to me. Take the basket back to my father, and tell my father that I heard that Pugan has a treasure, and I went to hunt for it, and it may take a year or so before I come back."
"Death is death, why lie to your father?"
"You don't understand. My father looks like a rough man, but he is actually very fragile. Sometimes he has to recite scriptures when he kills a pig. Don't tell him that I am dead. Maybe in a year or so, he will find me a younger brother. Then it won't be so sad."
"I care too much about you!" Pei Shu snorted, "You won't die."
"I knew I would..."
"Shut up."
"Hmph!" Meng Potian spat at the next door, "I'm going to die and you can't even talk to me? What are you doing? Iron? Steel? I was in the coffin before, so I helped you..."
"Shut up!"
…
"Are you sure?" Mr. Mu asked Jing Hengbo.
"No. They are locked by four chains, and their hands and feet are still tied. The ones facing me, I can control and cut off the chains at the same time, and the ones on the back..." Jing Hengbo smiled bitterly. My knife wiped my neck by mistake, what should I do?"
"You can't think like this at this time." Mr. Mu said softly, "Self-confidence is also an important reason for supporting ability. You have to think, I can do it, I will definitely do it."
"Okay," Jing Hengbo took a deep breath, "I can do it, I will definitely do it..." The more he said, the lower his voice, and finally he couldn't help but said bitterly, "I will definitely castrate him later!"
"Must." Mr. Mu replied, in his usual gentle tone, he couldn't suppress his hatred.
No matter how disturbed he was, he had to face the challenge. Jing Hengbo resented for a second, and then began to hate himself for why he wanted to time travel?
She stepped forward, and the man in brocade had already prepared a throwing knife for her.
"start!"
A guard grabbed a long handle and spun it, and the roulette spun faster than Jing Hengbo imagined—she thought that to carry the weight of three people, she must start slowly, and there was still time.
But now, it's like flying immediately!
The three of them whirled like a revolving lantern, turning out an indistinguishable light and shadow in front of her!
In this case, it would be nice to be able to cut off the chain from the front without making a mistake, not to mention the one on the back!
She was almost flustered, but she immediately calmed down, raised her hand, and nine throwing knives flashed out.
Eight are facing the two on the front side, and one is facing the roulette below.
She wanted to jam the roulette wheel, and that was the only way.
However, almost immediately, with a "cha", a flying knife shot back, and was hit back by the rapidly spinning roulette.
Immediately, Pei Shu leaned outwards, but he didn't fall out completely. The roulette turned too fast, and he missed a throwing knife, and his right foot was still locked on the roulette.
At this time, he was about to turn around, Jing Hengbo had time to give him a knife and save him, but Meng Potian was absolutely too late.
Meng Potian had already closed his eyes, singing a little song in his heart.
She decided to die happily and without complaint, so that she can continue to be a happy person in her next life.
Pei Shu tilted his body and failed to fall. He opened his eyes, gritted his teeth, and suddenly broke the wooden board above his head with a punch, and thrust his arm upwards while grabbing the broken board.
Jing Hengbo suddenly widened his eyes.
He used his arm to block the head roulette!
Although the roulette is a round wheel, it is polished smooth and sharper than a knife. Moreover, because of the fast rotation, the centrifugal force is very strong. Just now, when her throwing knife was shot at it, it flew away!
He is made of flesh and blood, and if he shakes the roulette, he will be crippled!
The brocade-clothed man on the roof also showed a slight look of shock—there are such brave men in the world!
There was a horrible "creak" sound, like a planer being planed on a wooden board. Pei Shu's arm was the board. Almost instantly, his arm showed bones, and a large pile of flesh and blood was planed out, splashing Meng Meng. A face that breaks the sky.
Meng Potian opened her eyes abruptly, but her eyes were covered with blood and flesh. She looked terrified and exclaimed: "Pei Shu!"
The roulette suddenly slowed down.
It was so slow that it was almost imperceptible to the naked eye, at the same time Pei Shu yelled: "Save her!"
He got stuck on the roulette wheel with his flesh and blood, and gave Meng Potian the positive opportunity.
At this time, he will turn to the back, and Meng Potian has already arrived in front of Jing Hengbo.
Meng Potian burst into tears instantly.
Jing Hengbo tried to open his eyes wide. At this time, she was shocked and anxious but dared not cry. She was afraid that tears would fall, blur her vision, affect her judgment, and leave regrets that would last her entire life.
At this moment, she could still see the corner of Pei Shu's clothes and the chain that bound him, but they would disappear in a blink of an eye.
At this speed, at most she could catch up to Pei Shu and open the last chain. It's not very sure, because of the position problem, there may be angle deviation.
And it was Meng Potian who turned from the front. In fact, it was more convenient for her to save Meng Potian than Pei Shu. Pei Shu had already reached the back.
Soon the roulette wheel will drop a person.
She only managed to save one.
It's all life.
There's no room for even thinking about it.
"Save her!" Pei Shu's roar seemed to penetrate her mind, and she had a splitting headache.
there is no time. there is no time.
She closed her eyes and let go.
Five throwing knives shot. Like lightning splitting the sky and the earth.
Four of them faced Meng Potian, and the other rushed towards the back, but because of the angle, the throwing knife that rescued Pei Shu collided with one of the other four throwing knives and tilted slightly.
At this moment, Pei Shu had completely turned around, and the flying knife brushed past the chain.
Throwing knives cannot turn.
"Ding ding" sounded sharply, and Meng Potian fell out. She still turned her head in mid-air, but her face was covered with blood and she couldn't open her eyes. Mr. Mu caught her, threw her to the side, and rushed towards the roulette.
Jing Hengbo's figure also arrived in a flash, and the guards had withdrawn their swords and retreated.
However, it was too late.
With a "click", the roulette plate under Pei Shu's feet opened, and he fell down the well with the last length of the long chain.
"Pei Shu!"
There was a faint muffled sound, and there seemed to be the sound of heavy objects falling and steel nails piercing into the flesh, but no screams from anyone. But just this voice is enough to make people lose their minds.
Jing Hengbo's eyes went dark, and his back was covered with cold sweat for a moment. He wanted to rush over, but he couldn't move at all.
With a flash of his figure, Mr. Mu threw himself on the roulette, and with a violent bang, he shattered the underside of the death roulette, and sent the spinning chassis flying. He quickly looked down.
He saw the broken corpse at the bottom of the well at a glance, and the blue light of the steel nails shone faintly on the back of the corpse.
He immediately pushed Jing Hengbo away who rushed to see him.
"What's the matter... What's the matter..." Jing Hengbo asked tremblingly.
If Pei Shu is really... She doesn't know how to forgive herself.
Mr. Mu took a deep breath and said calmly, "I can't see clearly...I'll go down and have a look..."
Jing Hengbo looked at him expectantly, and said anxiously: "Yes, go down and have a look, he won't die so easily."
When she said that, she felt desperate in her heart—Pei Shu's temper, if he was really fine, he would definitely scold her...
When Mr. Mu went down the well, Jing Hengbo didn't dare to look, and leaned softly against the wall of the well. On the opposite side, Zirui burst into tears, supporting Meng Potian who was sitting paralyzed on the ground. Even the eyelashes were covered with flesh and blood, she didn't wipe them off, and stared at Jing with half-opened blood-red eyes.
Jing Hengbo only felt his heart hurt like a knife, and as soon as he got up, he wanted to find the man in Jinyi.
It's been a long time since she hated someone so much—this is a demon who truly sees through people's hearts and human nature, and knows how to hurt people's hearts and lungs once he makes a move!
This action of his made her feel worse than killing Pei Shu in front of her!
But she looked around, how could there be a shadow of the man in brocade on the roof? Even his group of guards disappeared together.
He seems to be satisfied with the result of today's victory - he had a great time playing the three questions, was tossed by Jing Hengbo, and then repaid her ruthlessly, and now, he has retired.
…
Mr. Mu went down the well.
The strong smell of blood in the narrow space made him feel more and more ominous.
On the steel nails at the bottom of the well, there was a dead body lying on its stomach, bleeding all over the floor.
Mr. Mu saw the corpse at a glance, and his left arm was shaved enough to expose the bones, and his heart sank.
Unwilling to give up, he carefully fell into the gap between the steel nails and turned over the corpse. The well was very deep, and the weight when he fell was heavy, so the corpse penetrated a foot deep into the steel nails, and he had to pull out the corpse with great effort. Drizzled all over.
The face of the corpse was also pierced by steel nails, making it difficult to distinguish. The light in the well was dark. Mr. Mu didn't bring a fire pocket, and he vaguely looked like Pei Shu, and his heart was even colder.
As for the height of the clothes, they all look like Pei Shu. Mr. Mu was stunned for a while in disbelief, and began to touch the well wall with his backhand.
He touched the moss in his hand, the slippery and cold wall of the well, complete, slightly protruding stones, nothing abnormal.
He tried to push the stone wall again. The well in the palace is the exit of the secret passage, which is used by the royal family to escape in times of danger, but because it is used by the royal family, the mechanism is not too complicated, and it is generally known by pushing it.
He pushed every stone, but he couldn't move it. He tried the general technique again, but there was still no movement. This is the stone wall.
In fact, based on his experience, it is very difficult to have a secret passage in the bottom of the well. Even if there is a secret passage, because of the limited space, it can only be a secret passage less than half the height of a person at most. Who can use this kind of secret passage? Bone shrinkage can't be done either.
What's more, Pei Shu was injured and **** again. As soon as he fell from the roulette well, they rushed over. In such a short time, it was impossible to break free from the rope, let alone escape.
Mr. Mu exhausted all means, and finally had to admit helplessly that this corpse was Pei Shu.
He held his forehead in the darkness and sighed in annoyance.
Pei Shu quarreled with Jing Hengbo, so he sneaked into Shangyuan in a fit of anger, trying to rescue Zirui alone. Who knew he would meet such a pervert as Jin Yiren.
As for Jing Hengbo, he had a chance to save him, but he failed in the end. Although he was shocked by Pei Shu and had to respect his will, and he was lucky that he would not die, but that momentary behavior really led to tragic consequences that no one expected.
How could Jing Hengbo feel so bad?
She will live in guilt all her life!
…
It took a while for Mr. Mu to go up. He came down quickly and went up very slowly.
Before reaching the mouth of the well, Jing Hengbo poked his face over and asked impatiently: "What? Are you okay?" He looked behind him again, "He was injured, why didn't you bring it up? Isn't it easy to take it?" , do you want someone to help?"
Mr. Mu raised his hand and stopped her hand, "Hengbo," he said.
Just a short sentence.
She looked at him, and saw the answer from his eyes. He saw with distress that her eyes dimmed like lights, and seeing some crystal liquid was about to splash all over his face, he was about to take a step forward. He hugged her into his arms and comforted her, but she turned around, pressed the mouth of the well, and smiled at the two women who looked up over there: "Hehe, it's okay, I'm hurt, it's not serious, I can't drag it out for a while , Mr. Mu and I think of another way, Meng Potian, you can't stay here for long, please take Zirui out of the palace. I think the news that I rescued you has not spread yet, and Ming Yan'an is still deliberately releasing water at this time. Don't let the guards out, it's safest for you to take this opportunity to go out. Go, go, go."
She said a lot in one breath, extremely fast, without giving herself a chance to lose her composure, and Zirui and Meng Potian didn't have a chance to react. Li Yisai: "I saved your life, you have to repay me, otherwise you have no loyalty, right? You send Zirui out of Shangyuan, I know you have a way."
Meng Potian was dumbfounded, his eyes were lifeless, but he still responded to the words "Jianghu Yiqi", and he was no longer bright and public as before, so he took Zirui's hand and walked out. Zirui didn't speak, for fear of disturbing her and Jing Hengbo, she only looked back at Jing Hengbo, and left with her.
Jing Hengbo saw the two of them leave, and sure enough there was no movement from the palace, she guessed right, Ming Yan'an didn't know that the man in Jinyi had failed here, and was still restraining the guards, and would come back after the dust settled.
After she calmed down, she slid down against the well wall, put her knees on her knees, put her head on her hands, and her hair was messed up on her fingers.
Standing by the well, Mr. Mu felt a sharp pain in his heart when he saw her flowing black hair and slightly trembling shoulders.
What stings is not the fragility she finally exposed at this moment, but her fragility that was only exposed until now.
After learning the bad news, with such an unrestrained temperament, she was able to restrain her emotions immediately and send the two girls away.
She even thought that Meng Potian might cause trouble if he stayed, so she simply threatened her with kindness, so that this woman with the most loyalty in the world had to protect Zirui and leave first.
She also considered that at this moment Ming Yan'an deliberately released the water, and it was safest to walk.
With violent mood swings and in a hurry, she can think clearly and plan carefully, she has indeed grown up. Even he himself can't promise to do so much in such a mood.
But because of this, I feel heartache.
For a person like her, what kind of heartbreaking price has she paid to grow up to this day?
Did she grow wings, or was she torn off her original bright wings during the long and arduous torment, and trained a pair of iron wings?
What made him feel even more embarrassing was that among the people who broke her bright first wing, he seemed to be one of them...
He took a deep breath, stepped forward, and wanted to wrap his arms around her shoulders.
But she got up suddenly, gritted her teeth and said, "No, I don't believe in this evil! Pei Shu is so evil, God dare not accept it, how could it be like this..." Turning around, she was about to go down the well.
If Mr. Mu dared to show her the tragedy, he might really be unable to hold on. He hurried to stop him, but his mood fluctuated, and he also forgot about Jing Hengbo's teleportation ability.
In a flash, she disappeared from his arms, leaving only a faint fragrance.
He stared at Kongkong's arms, feeling lost, as if passing by this moment, he foresaw more helpless futures.
…
