Chapter 23 Empty Valley

It is said that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, and Lu Qiang soon experienced the true meaning of this sentence.

Not far away, his eyes suddenly became enlightened. It turned out that he was already on a cliff. Looking around, the mountains and clouds in the distance seemed to be endless. Under the afterglow of the sunset, the red clouds outlined a beautiful picture in the sky, making people feel as if they were in a fairyland.

Looking at your feet again, you can't see the deep valley at a glance. And on a stone on the edge of the cliff, there is a woman's embroidered shoes hanging.

With the appearance of the scene in front of him, Lu Qiang's heart also seemed to sink into the abyss.

Wang Shenai left all the available things to him, disappeared, and then found her shoes here. You don't have to guess what the result is.

Standing on the cliff and looking at the deep valley for a few minutes, unconsciously, tears wet their eyes again, and finally couldn't help shouting at the empty valley.

"You stupid woman, stupid woman, why did you leave me..."

Although Lu Qiang did not have the ultimate internal power of defeating the lion and the tiger, this heartfelt cry also shocked the mountains. A voice "Why..." The more it spreads, the farther...

In fact, deep in his heart, he had foreseed that Wang Shenai might go this way, but he deceived himself and refused to admit it.

Now the cruel reality is in front of him, and the hope that has been supporting him will be shreded into pieces in an instant. Hunger and cold, coupled with his body that has never recovered after extreme fatigue, made him lose consciousness after shouting.

There seems to be God's will in the dark, and there is an abyss in front of him. If Lu Qiang faints and falls forward, everything will be over. At the critical moment, the mountain leopard in his arms suddenly arched his body and made his body subconsciously fall back. So, everything returned to the original point.

The mountain wind roared and sank again in the sunset. Lu Qiang, who was in a coma, suddenly felt as if something was moving on his face. He couldn't help opening his eyes slowly. With the last aftertaste of the sunset, he saw the little mountain leopard licking his face with his little tongue.

The little guy completely inherited his mother's genes. His whole body was black, and only two jewel-like eyes flashed green in the dusk.

Seeing that Lu Qiang woke up, the little guy seemed to be very happy and screamed a few times at Lu Qiang.

The young mountain leopard sounded like a domestic cat, which suddenly pulled Lu Qiang's thoughts to his previous life, because he also raised a flower cat in his previous life.

Slowly sat up and looked at the cliff below, and my heart couldn't help hurting again.

Such a little woman foolishly accompanied an idiot in the deep palace for several years, and finally gave up her life in order to make the idiot live alone.

How much courage does it take? What made a delicate woman make such a big sacrifice?

Lu Qiang couldn't find the answer, and he also asked himself that he could not do Wang Shenai like this.

I remember that in the Condor Heroes, Yang returned to the place where the little dragon girl jumped off the cliff 16 years later. Because he couldn't wait for the little dragon girl, she had white hair overnight, and the poem he remembered of Su Dongpo mourning his deceased wife was even more heartbreaking and tearful.

Ten years of life and death are vast, without thinking about it, and it is unforgettable. Thousands of miles of lonely grave, nowhere to talk desolate...

Yang Guo didn't even know where the little dragon girl's grave was because he had been struggling for 16 years. Finally, he jumped off the cliff in anger.

How is Lu Qiang's current situation similar to Yang Guo's situation? It's strange not to jump so high, let alone have a grave.

Lu Qiang's nature is not as fierce as Yang's, and he can't do martyrdom. It's not that he doesn't love Wang Shen, but that he thinks that as a man, he should have more important things to do.

The mountain wind messed up Lu Qiang's hair, but it couldn't blow away the depression in his heart. Gradually, Lu Qiang's eyes turned red. Why did he and Wang Shenai become like this? If it hadn't been for Huan Xuan's usurpation, he would not have run away with Wang Shenai. If it hadn't been for the pursuit of Huan Xuan's men, Wang Shenai would not have jumped off the cliff.

"Huan Xuan! I must pay you with blood"

At this moment, an unprecedented murder shot in Lu Qiang's eyes.

It can be said that if Huan Xuan is willing to let them go, Lu Qiang will not even hate him, because after all, Lu Qiang is not the real Sima Dezong and can't feel the personal pain of subjugation, but there are so many ifs in the world? Then again, if he hadn't occupied Sima Dezong's body, how could Huan Xuan chase him?

I don't know how long it took, and I gradually recovered my thoughts. Lu Qiang knew that Huan Xuan could not give up his pursuit so easily, and at the same time, he did not understand what the woman wanted to do. Therefore, the most urgent thing is to escape to the mountain, the deeper the better, and then find a way out of the mountain from somewhere else.

Lu Qiang actually wanted to go down to collect the corpse for Wang Shenai, but he didn't know how to go down to the bottom of the deep valley, not to mention that he had to be prepared for pursuit at all times.

After hesitating again and again, Lu Qiang had to give up this idea, put Wang Shen's beloved embroidered shoes in his arms, and said silently to the deep valley with tears: "Yurun, my favorite, when I take revenge, I will come back to pay tribute to you"

After saying that, he hardened his heart, picked up the hill leopard and turned around and strode away.

At this moment, his mind has been completely clear. Looking back on the shouting just now, he is likely to attract the pursuers again, so he must leave as soon as possible.

Sure enough, not long after Lu Qiang's figure disappeared, Sun Yao appeared in the place where he had just stayed. It was completely dark, and she could no longer follow her footsteps, but she could feel that Lu Qiang had just arrived here.

She didn't catch Lu Qiang. She was so angry that she bit her silver teeth, but there was nothing she could do. If she looked for it in the dark, she was likely to go further and further, so she had to wait for dawn.

After walking for a while, Lu Qiang had to stop, because the little guy in his arms shouted. I guess he was hungry and took out the remaining dry food to feed the mountain leopard. Unfortunately, the little guy didn't eat it at all. Lu Qiang understood that if the little guy was not breastfeeding or had begun to eat meat, it was a pity that there was no milk or raw meat around him.

What can I do? If you decide to take it with you, you have to take care of it.

I looked around and couldn't help smiling bitterly. It was so dark that it was unrealistic to let him go hunting! I had no choice but to try my luck in the tree.

This time, God finally seemed to be willing to help him. Unexpectedly, he really found a bird's nest on the tree. The two larks that didn't have time to fly away in the bird's nest became a good meal for the hill leopard. He also added dry food to his hungry stomach.

After solving the stomach problem, Lu Qiang simply couldn't come down from the tree. He lay on the thick tree trunk, looked at the vast night sky, and began to think about the way forward.

If you want to kill Huan Xuan, you must have a strong force. On the contrary, Huan Xuan can say that he is not a wise master in his handling of pretending to be a ghost and dealing with the magic stick of Tiansong Laodao, and he is not in a position, and it is impossible for him to get the support of all officials and people.

If you analyze it like this, combined with the historical novels, TV, etc. you have read in your previous life, such a throne will not sit for a long time, how can you overthrow him? Who should be encouraged to execute it?

Lu Qiang suddenly regretted it. Why didn't he study history well when he went to school? Otherwise, how can you know some historical trends, or know who to find someone to help you?

Why don't I join the army?

Somehow, this idea suddenly came to his mind, but this idea was quickly strangled, and even he was shocked by this idea. Huan Xuan's officers and soldiers were arresting themselves. What's the difference between being a soldier and dying?

Suddenly, I thought that this is ancient times, and it is not that later generations can see the appearance of leaders on TV and newspapers at any time. I'm afraid that there are many people who have never seen the emperor in this era. At that time, make up a fake name by yourself, can you mix it in?

It can be said that this idea is really tempting, but he didn't think about it. Even if he joined the army, he was just a soldier and could not command the army. What did he use to avenge Huan Xuan?

I'm afraid this is a common problem that every traveler has. He always thinks that he is a modern person and can do everything when he returns to ancient times. In fact, he can only describe it in one sentence, that is, the ignorant are fearless.

Lu Qiang is almost such a person now. However, such a person is also beneficial, because he doesn't know the way out of the mountain and doesn't know which direction to go, so he is in the mountains. Because of this, he magically avoids the arrest of officers and soldiers, Sun Yao and others in the next few days.

"Bang!"

A piece of exquisite porcelain used by the imperial palace instantly turned into fragments in Huan Xuan's anger.

Bian Fanzhi knelt trembling under the jade steps and suffered Huan Xuan's thunderous anger.

"You said, how did that rubbish run away? What do you eat? I can't even look after the waste. What do I want you to do?

Huan Xuan was so angry that his mouth turned green and roared, pointing to Bian Fan, who was kneeling on the ground. He never dreamed that the waste could run away behind his wife's back and escape under the escort of 3,000 iron riders. Is it possible that he ran faster than a horse? If I had known this, I might as well have killed it directly in the palace.

Bian Fanzhi is also full of bitter water. Who would have thought that the fat pig-like waste would run faster than the rabbit? After defeating the unknown person, he also led people to search the mountains, but unfortunately he didn't even see a person.

When such a big event happened, he did not dare to hide it. While ordering people to continue searching, he came back to report to Huan Xuan, and even pleaded guilty.

To be honest, Huan Xuan really wants to kill him, but his throne has not been firmly established, and he still needs the support of these old subordinates for a period of time.

After losing his temper for a while, Huan Xuan calmed down and now the first thing to do is how to deal with the aftermath.

After ponderating for a moment, he said coldly, "I still had some micro skills before, and this time I will forgive you, but this matter must not be spread out. Tell the people below, who dares to talk nonsense, I will destroy his nine clans, you immediately send Sima Dewen to Xunyang, and tell him to accompany his brother. Long, remember, if there is another accident this time, you won't come back."

"Yes... I'm going to do it now."

Bian Fanzhi wiped the sweat on his forehead and retreated grayly.

After driving away Bian Fan, Huan Xuan thought about it for a while, and then ordered several eunuchs and a painter who had served Sima Dezong before and asked them to draw a few portraits of Sima Dezong.

After the portrait was painted, Huan Xuan ordered people to send these portraits to Yixing, Wuxi, Wujin and other places as soon as possible. These places are surrounded by Maoshan. As long as the road out of the mountain is blocked, he may be able to catch Sima Dezong. However, of course, he can't say who the person in the portrait is. He only says that this person is a Jiangyang thief. After being caught, he will be executed immediately without interrogation. Those who kill this person will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver.

He did not dare to set the reward too high, of course, for fear of attracting the attention of people.

Yin Zhongwen sent people to rush to work day and night, and finally finished the magical chair. He was supposed to take it for a trip today, but when Bian Fanzhi came back, he lost all his interest.

After reading the memorial for a while, Huan Xuan was hesitating whether to continue the trip. Suddenly, a nearby waiter came to report, and Liu Mai, the governor of Jingling, asked for a meeting.

"Liu Mai?"

Huan Xuan is very appreciated, but he is not his close minister, and Huan Xuan knows that Liu Mai's brother is a general in the Beifu army, so he deliberately guard against him, but he doesn't know why he suddenly came to see him?

I just sent Huan Xiu to Jingkou. At this time, Liu Mai came to see him. What's wrong with the Beifu Army?

I don't know why this idea suddenly came to Huan Xuan's mind. You know, what reassured him most now was the Beifu Army.

Thinking of this, he immediately said, "Fly!"
