Chapter 42 Undercurrent
Author: Sharkshou Zhazhao
The girl in red looked at the people fighting around her and laughed with interest.
She smoothed away the blood spattered on her pleated skirt and fixed her eyes on the face of the man opposite.
"How do you know? Anyway, you have been treating me as dead for all these years."
"Weren't you taken away by people from Miao territory? - It turns out, it turns out!"
Lu Wenyong was shocked, bent down and coughed violently, "Back then, Liao Dan was able to make a detour and sneak attack in such a short period of time, not only because the Central Plains army helped them sneak out the back door, but it turned out that there was secret help from the Miao forces.
!”
"Hehehe, you're so smart, you guessed it right away."
Chu Yuening narrowed his eyes with a sarcastic look on his face.
"But there's one more thing you didn't guess -" she glanced at Li Qianyin not far away, and said in a moderate voice, "that world-famous General Zhaonan, do you know how he died?
"
Li Qianyin had a very good ear. When she heard this, she paused with the sword in her hand, and the "Black Sheep" that had been controlled took advantage of her distraction to bite her.
Lu Wen followed her gaze and looked at the girl in a powerful outfit who struck very quickly, frowning, "Isn't it possible that the subordinate of General Zhaonan at that time, who is now the Marquis of Yongding, poisoned the general's food and then took him with him?
Leading a group of thieves to burn down the camp?"
"I finally praised you for being smart, but now you're stupid again." The girl in red snorted cutely.
"That's not poisoning, it's poisoning."
"And the reason why I didn't die in the first place was because he planted this poison, which allowed me to mobilize the last bit of yang energy in my body and survive."
"You mean"
"It's Ming Xi, the high priest of Miao territory who covers the sky with his hands. It was he who took me out of the mass grave and used magic to save me."
"Mingxi. High priest Mingxi."
Lu Wenyong repeated this name over and over again. He had never seen this person before, but rumors about this Miao priest had been circulating in the Five Dynasties and Ten States for a long time.
"Is he really that good?"
He hesitated and asked a question.
"Hahaha, that's right," she laughed suddenly, and the "black sheep" around her stopped their attacks as if they heard the call and gathered around them, surrounding the two of them.
She stepped on the chariot and stood up straight, her eyes becoming vicious little by little, "I thought the same thing when I looked at his handsome face."
With a "swish" sound, she swung the scimitar in her hand and cut the throat of a "black sheep" beside her. The man suddenly collapsed like a kite with its string cut off. From the black blood flowing out from the cut edge, a black sheep unexpectedly crawled out.
Red worm.
"You see," she picked up the insect and brought it to Lu Wenyong's eyes, "when all the people in Pingzhou are celebrating, when you and that woman are having a wedding ceremony, when all your soldiers are enjoying the feast.
When you drink something spicy.”
As she spoke, she crushed the insect in her hand hard, her small, craggy hands trembled violently, and then she suddenly rolled up her two empty broad sleeves and stretched them out in front of him.
"He soaked me in a jar and put a thick seal on it. Those snakes, scorpions and poisonous insects wanted to eat my flesh, burn my bones, and scatter my remains - he wanted to turn me into a monster for his plan!"
"neat!"
He felt great grief in his heart, and finally understood why the woman who was obviously middle-aged had turned into the appearance of a child, as if she had grown up against her age, and her internal organs were in pain as if it were a throbbing in her heart.
"I originally thought that I would definitely die after being disemboweled by this woman and taking out my child, but I didn't expect that the Hundred Thousand Mountains is the real hell. If I had known that, I would rather rot in that mass grave with the maggots of the corpses!"
"But it doesn't matter. As time goes by, it doesn't matter anymore," the girl in red sneered, with little lights flashing in her eyes, she turned and sat back in the sedan, "That Mingxi priest didn't plan to stay in the north for a long time.
, just for his terrible plan to make a deal with the Emperor of the Central Plains."
"And I was soaked in that jar. I wanted to die, but I didn't even have the strength to kill myself. So, during a whole year without any food, I resisted the poison and ate all the food in the jar.
poisonous insect!"
"Hahaha, even I didn't expect that I would turn myself into a Gu!"
She laughed wildly, her eyes filled with murderous intent, "At that time, I was Ming Xi's only successful experiment, but in a sense, it was also a failure."
"He originally wanted to make a puppet that would only listen to his instructions like my black sheep, but I gradually deviated from his expectations. Until last month, he told me that he was willing to take over my body.
The seal will allow me to walk out of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, but the premise is——"
She suddenly stopped speaking, closed her eyes and sneered:
"Sure enough, it's here."
"Your Highness King Yi! Queen Mother Shulu and her Liao Dan army are only ten miles away from the city gate!"
Someone reported it.
"Go, add ten more people, and be sure to take a good look at Yelv Dejin."
Li Hexiang and others stood behind the group of living dead, facing the girl in red whose enemy or friend was uncertain, ready to kill her at any time.
At this moment, the people in the outer city of Pingzhou seemed to have heard the news that the Liao and Dan armies were about to approach the battle, and they were bustling and trying to escape into the middle inner city.
The inner city gate had already been destroyed when she came over. Only a few people broke in accidentally. When they saw the group of whimpering zombies, some screamed and backed away.
People are panicked.
Are the horrific scenes from twenty years ago about to happen again?
Today's Queen Mother Shulu is even worse than King Dan of Liao back then.
But what else can the defenseless people do besides being manipulated?
"Lord Lu!" Someone saw Lu Wenyong surrounded by him and knelt down.
The leader of the Lulong Army, who had spent his entire life as a soldier but had lost his hair overnight, sighed in despair:
"In troubled times, the weak preyed on the strong. Li Dan in the Central Plains rebelled against his ministers and usurped the throne. The thieves were in power. Liao Dan enslaved and beat the Han people at every turn. He treated us even worse than pigs and dogs. How could a tiny place like ours have the chance to live with dignity?
ah"
The army was overwhelming, and the Liao and Dan troops were many and powerful. Although they only sent 3,000 men to lead the battle, they had already rushed into Pingzhou City.
Except for the soldiers who became "black sheep", even if Qianjige and the two Wu Chang fought back hard, there were not many left in Pingzhou who could make any difference.
No more hesitation.
Li Hexi and Li Qianyin looked at each other, and the swords in their hands gradually unsheathed - only by killing the girl and rescuing the poisoned soldiers, might they be able to fight Liao Dan.
"Husband!"
It was bloody and devastated.
A heartbreaking cry brought the girl in red back from her thoughts.
She probed her head and looked at a girl in the distance who was holding a young husband whose leg was cut off by the enemy. Her almond-shaped eyes stagnated, and two poisonous poisons flew out of her hands, and she penetrated deeply into the two men who were about to pick up the knife and chop them to death.
A couple's body inside a Liaodan soldier.
