Chapter 9 Valley of the Dead

Qin Yunuan looked at Maom's mixed eyes and defensive eyes and did not say anything. His shallow smile was enough to make people afraid. Leng Changxi came out of the darkness and protected Qin Yunuan. He looked at Maugham and said, "The regent poisoned you. Even if I don't hurt you in the ring, you will die sooner or later, and you will He died miserably. After all, we are still your savior.

Maugham said with a strong Beidi accent, "Who will save you?"

"Oh, that's it," Leng Changxi glanced back at Lu Wuyi and said, "Dr. Lu, can you take this poison out and put it back?"

Lu Wuyi arched his hand and said seriously, "The poison will die as soon as it comes out of the human body," Maugham suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, but he heard Lu Wuyi say, "But I can put it in a more powerful one. Every full moon night, I will swim in people's bloodlines and eat up people's blood vessels and skin until they break out."

Maugham was trembling all over: "What on earth do you want me to do?"

Leng Changxi turned his head and said, "I heard that you are the only person alive who has entered the Savage Valley in the past ten years. I need you to lead the way for me."

When it comes to the three words Savage Valley, Maugham's face is full of fear. His pupils are almost magnified several times in an instant, and his eyes are full of chilling poisonous snakes and traps in the barren mountains. He even feels that several people in front of him are crazy. They deliberately created a fake death for him, just for Go to the damn place where people don't spit bones.

"You are crazy," Maugham's voice trembled a little. "Are you going to Savage Valley? It's a cursed place. No one has ever come out alive, never."

"What about you?" Leng Changxi said bluntly.

"You don't know how horrible it is," Maugham's hands and feet began to trem. "There were 24 people who went in with me. We were ordered by the prince to go to the valley to find a life-saving herb for the princess. As a result, early one morning, when I climbed out of the tent in the camp Hou, I found that everyone else was missing. I found them about a miles away from the camp. Not exactly, I found their bodies.

Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi were slightly stunned. Maugham had already covered his face with his palms in pain: "The devil took out their internal organs and hung them on the tree. I saw their bloody bodies. At that time, I was eager to die with them. I really don't understand why I was left alone. I want to put them The bodies were carried out, but as soon as I touched their bodies, my hands had a burning pain, and the devil's laughter seemed to echo in my ears. I returned to the camp and took away all the things that could be used. It only took us three days to enter the valley, but in the end, it took me half a month to get out. The old people said, this is called Ghosts hit the wall. You have offended the devil in the valley. They will come to revenge on you.

After Maugham finished speaking, even Qin Yunuan got goose bumps and seemed to have been scared by the devilish valley described in Maugham's mouth, but Leng Changxi's eyes were cold. He slowly approached and stared straight at Maugham's eyes immersed in terror.

"You're lying." Leng Changxi exposed Maum mercilessly.

"I didn't." Maugham argued, "They really haven't come back. You can't understand my pain at all."

"But you're lying."

"You are not only insulting me, but also insulting those partners who find medicine for the princess." Maugham stood up. He was as tall as Leng Changxi and could just look at Leng Changxi.

"Then let me ask you, is the princess dead?"

Maugham lowered his head: "No."

Hearing Leng Changxi snorted coldly, Maugham said, "That's because a magic doctor came to the palace later and cured the princess."

"I know who the magic doctor is," Qin Yunuan said. "The magic doctor you mentioned once lived in a cold house. I have heard him talk about his experience in Beidi, but in his mouth, the princess just suffered from a severe cold, which was not serious enough to ask the prince to send people to risk his life to go thousands of miles into the valley to find herbs. The point."

Maugham continued to defend, "That's because the prince loved the princess as his life and was anxious for a moment."

Leng Changxi said with a cold smile on the corners of his mouth: "Then let me ask you, are your companions really killed by the demons in the mountains?"

"Why not," Maugham squined at Leng Changxi and said, "You Xixia people don't know how to fear gods at all." Leng Changxi claimed that his surname was "Tuoba", and with the regent's words, everyone seemed to acquiesce that Leng Changxi and Qin Yunuan were from Xixia.

Leng Changxi sneered and suddenly took out the dagger inserted in his waist. There was a cold light on the dagger, which seemed to clearly show the fear on Maugham's face.

Mum was slightly stunned and took a step back: "What are you going to do?"

"I'll ask you again," Leng Changxi said as he put the dagger against Mao's chest. "Your companion, is your heart really taken away by the devil? Or something more horrible than the devil?"

The corners of Maugham's mouth were stiffly **, and his whole body seemed to be frozen and he dared not move.

Leng Changxi seems to be a person who can read his mind. The gap in life has taught him to capture the smallest expression on people's faces. It used to be a temptation, but now, he has affirmed: "I think it's not the devil, it's you yourself. You didn't enter the Savage Valley to find herbs for the princess. Let me think about it. What are you looking for? Is it a treasure?

Maum's body trembled, and Leng Changxi knew that he had guessed it right. Although the treasure is the secret of Daqi, over the past so many years, the four families have fallen and scattered. It is difficult to guarantee that this secret, which has been hidden for many years, will not be passed on. He has seen the regent's magical means earlier. It is not surprising that he can know.

Leng Changxi continued: "Since you don't say anything, let me continue to guess that you should have reached the depths of the valley. Just when you think the treasure is close at hand, you have differences. Maybe one group of people are always loyal to the regent, while another group of people want to embezzle the treasure. I guess you have rushed. Suddenly, there was an infighting. As a result, you were the only one who survived. In order to cover up your crimes and prevent the prince from sending people to continue to explore the valley and find the traces of your internal struggle in those years, you made up a terrible story in an attempt to scare away those who still wanted to enter the valley. The terrain of the Savage Valley was inherently dangerous. , poison rebirth, after what you said, no one dares to go to it.

Maugham raised the corners of his mouth: "Then tell me, am I still loyal to the prince's party?"

According to reason, since Maugham returned to the royal palace after leaving the valley and worked hard for the regent for so long, he should be loyal to the prince's party, but Leng Changxi did not think so.

"I guess you are the leader of the rebel faction. You returned to the royal palace just to collect more information. Although you entered the hinterland of the canyon and did not reach the place where the treasure was hidden, in fact, you lurked in the royal palace for so many years for the same purpose as us."

Maugham didn't say anything. Leng Changxi took Qin Yunuan's hand and went out of the door. He turned around and left only one sentence: "Anyway, you are already a dead person to the outside world. To be honest, I can't think of any other way but to follow us. Think about it. I'm just a suggestion, oh, just a suggestion. ."

said that it was a suggestion, but Leng Changxi had clearly blocked Maomu's other roads to death. The sun outside had rested, and the sunset hung on the mountain like a ripe orange. The fur coat on Qin Yunuan's body played a role in keeping warm at this time. She hugged the coat. It was like this outside. It may be hot during the day. When the sun sets off the mountain, there will be a gust of cold wind.

When Leng Changxi saw Qin Yunuan shrink, he decisively untied his sheepskin robe and wrapped Qin Yu Nuan. He was wearing a thin single coat.

"Changxi?" Qin Yunuan blinked and looked at Leng Changxi.

Leng Changxi just wrapped Qin Yunuan tighter and said softly, "Now I'm no longer a general of Daqi. I can't give you brocade food, fox Qiu silver and carbon. I can only hold you tightly when you are cold."

Leng Changxi wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by an unexpected guest who suddenly appeared.

"Mr. Tuoba, please."

The person who came is not, but the bodyguard around the regent. Normally, at this time, the front ring should also be over. The competition in the ring is not like the usual calligraphy and painting competition. It is also common for two rivals to fight for a few hours. Therefore, from Bocharzi's warriors and Maugham both came out. After that, after a moment of rest, the next group of No. 3 and No. 4 players actually did not win or lose for a whole afternoon. They agreed to compete tomorrow. Now, it is time for the people to disperse and go back to their respective homes.

If Leng Changxi remembers correctly, Leng Wu is the No. 4 warrior, and I don't know who this No. 3 can actually make so many moves with Leng Wu. It seems that there are masters everywhere and should not be taken lightly.

Leng Changxi looked at the bodyguard who came to invite his bodyguard. This man was tall and his eyes were bright. Leng Changxi raised some precautions and only said, "The fourth prince is still waiting to go back. I'm sorry for being abrupt. He has never had any friendship with the prince. Now it is such a critical time in the martial arts competition. In order to avoid suspicion, the prince , you can send someone to the Fourth Prince's Mansion to inform. Leng Changxi put his posture very low. If he didn't know it, he really thought he was care about Wanyan Su's face.

The bodyguard was a little embarrassed. Leng Changxi led Qin Yunuan to leave, but a carriage slowly stopped in front of them. The carriage was carved with a golden eagle-shaped hollow pattern. Beidi's carriage was different from Daqi. The carriage was in the open air, with a cover on its head, and a white veil hung down from the top, and the horse could be faintly seen from the outside. The people in the car.

Leng Changxi narrowed his eyes and his eyes fell on the man in the Beidi court suit in the mantle. Who would the person in the carriage be if he was not the regent himself?
