Chapter 954: The Beauty Grows Old and the Beauty Grows Old

When the other three people on the Hell Front came to the Duanhun Gorge, Feng Bujue had just finished speaking a sentence that was more than a thousand words long.

The expressions of Alliance Leader Yuan and the martial arts heroes at this moment... perfectly expressed the extreme shock deep in their hearts and the severe pain in certain parts of their bodies.

But Brother Jue didn't take it seriously. He raised his hand and gestured to his teammates, saying: "By the way, I haven't introduced you yet... These three are all from my Po Jian Tea House." "He pointed at Ruo Yu, "This is my wife, and the other two are my disciples. Leader, would you like to hear their names?"

"No need!" Yuan Qi's eyes widened and he exclaimed loudly, "No need!"

Leader Yuan's expression at this moment seemed to say, "Please stop talking, I'm going to kneel down for you."

Ji Neng, the Bafang Building Master on the side, also stepped forward and said: "Feng Lao Master, the reputation of the noble sect's knights... I think it's better to listen to it next time when I have a chance... Right now we have more important things to deal with here... …”

"That's right." Yuan Qi hurriedly continued, "The terrain here is unfavorable and it is not suitable to stay for a long time..." He took on the style of the leader of the martial arts league and shouted loudly (At this moment, there is no need to use internal power to transmit the message, because the people around him are increasing There are less than fifty people in total, and they all have good ears, so they just say ￥ and just rely on their voices) and said, "I think the heroes from all walks of life have almost adjusted their breaths (everyone was not idle when Feng Bujue was talking nonsense), we We should get on the road as soon as possible... and then come back and bury the corpses of our fellow disciples after everything is done."

"Yes, yes! What Alliance Leader Yuan said is absolutely true!"

“Indeed, it’s time to wait!”

"That's right. Everyone, get up and hurry up!"

The surviving martial arts people also responded quickly. In order to prevent Feng Bujue from doing three paragraphs of storytelling again, they could be said to have spared no effort.

Ever since. The remaining team of more than fifty people set off on the road again...

…………

on the other hand……

In front of Burial Heart Villa.

Under the mist of light and the mountains and rivers, a group of people marched to the entrance of the villa.

At this time, there was no one left in the village outside the villa...

Obviously, the ambush battle in Duanhun Gorge. It was an operation in which all the residents of Buried Heart Valley mobilized, but unfortunately... only one person survived.

Of course, even if all these people are alive. They will not stop these imperial soldiers and horses... because the King of Hell has already given an order to "invite" this group of people to come in.

This is why... the martial arts heroes led by Yuan Qi didn't even find a single corpse of an officer or soldier along the way.

In fact, not only did they not find a body, they also didn't find any signs of fighting... they didn't even find horse hooves, ruts, footprints, etc.

There is no doubt that...the imperial soldiers and horses soon turned to a different path from the martial arts people after entering the valley. Moreover, the people in the valley were very considerate in eliminating their footprints.

"My lords. Please stay."

When the horse riders at the front of the team arrived in front of the villa, an old woman stopped in front of them.

She was an old woman who looked to be in her sixties. She was thin and wrinkled. She was dressed in simple farm clothes with patches on her clothes.

Seeing this, a strong man wearing armor emerged from the three leading horsemen and said on the horse: "Madam, are you from this villa?"

This man's name is Lu Yuan, and he is a general in the Metropolitan Governor's Office (this institution has been abolished very early in official history). Lu Yuan looks very rough. The temperament is similar. Seeing how he said "Aunt" when he opened his mouth, you can tell that this gentleman is informal and very friendly to the people.

"Exactly." The old woman replied, "I have been ordered by the King of Hell to await your arrival here." Although she was old, she spoke very fast and her voice was full of energy, "There is no room for life in the Heart Burial Villa. The animals are moving..." She looked at the horses under the pedestrians and the horses pulling the carts, and then said, "Please dismount from the carts and follow me on foot."

"Huh?" Hearing this, the second horseman's face showed a hint of displeasure.

This man's name was Bao Qi, and he was an official in Jinyiwei Town. Although there is "strange" in his name, his appearance is ordinary (the secret service likes to recruit such people); in addition, he has the most bureaucratic style among the three leaders.

"You woman, how can you talk?" Bao Qiyan said, "Did you know that the person sitting in the carriage is..."

"Hey~" At this time, the third horseman waved his hand and interrupted Bao Qi's words, "Brother Bao, as the saying goes, when you go to the countryside, do as the Romans do... Please let me go and inform 'that man' before making any further remarks. You care~"

This person with a more feminine tone and a slightly chubby face is naturally a father-in-law who worships Dongchang. His name is Mao Jincai. From his name, you can tell that his family was not rich when he was young, so he was sent to the palace at a very young age...

"Yes, Brother Bao..." Lu Yuan on the other side also added, "Why bother an old man? Let's first listen to what 'His Highness' means before we discuss it."

"Hmph... that's fine." When Bao Qi saw that Eunuch Mao had already turned his horse's head and walked backwards, he snorted coldly and said nothing.

Not long after, Eunuch Mao came back, and he came back by "walking".

"You two, Your Highness has a decree, let's all go for a walk together." Eunuch Mao smiled and said to the two people on the horse.

Hearing this, Lu Yuan and Bao Qi both looked back and found that several important figures in the carriage had also gotten out of the carriage.

So they quickly dismounted and prepared to lead their troops into the village.

unexpectedly……

"Wait a minute." The old woman raised her hand to block their way again.

"What's wrong?" Bao Qi was a little impatient this time.

"The King of Hell has ordered that the number of people entering the village...can be up to ten people." The old woman replied word by word.

"What?" Bao Qi shouted, "You are so bold and cunning! You..."

Just when he was about to use his "official power" to bluff this ungrateful old woman, another person's voice sounded from behind: "Oh, General Bao, why are you so angry? There are only ten people." "

Upon hearing this voice, Bao Qi immediately became frightened. Not only was he cowed, he turned around and knelt down. Not only did he kneel, but most of the people in the team also knelt...

It is clear. The person who spoke was a royal disciple—Jin Wang Zhu Zhihuang.

Some people may think this guy's name is strange, yes...it is very strange, but for the princes and grandsons of the Ming Dynasty, naming was always something they couldn't help but...

According to the rules of the ancestors, the prince's family must be arranged according to characters. Take the Jin family as an example... There are only twenty characters in total: Jimei, Zhongqiqi, Knowledge of new things, caution and agility. Examine your heart and admire the scenery, and continue your previous studies by describing your studies.

It is also the rule of the ancestors (Zhu Yuanzhang is inexplicably persistent in this regard), and they are the descendants of the old Zhu family. The third character in the name must be the radical of the five elements, and it must be arranged according to metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

But words are limited, and descendants are endless... Therefore, by the end of the Ming Dynasty. We were fortunate enough to see the emperor named Zhu Youlang.

That's it...it's really good. Some concubine princes and grandchildren who had a relatively miserable life had to make up their own characters to name their names in the later stages. If you see characters with unclear meanings and five-element radicals in the dictionary, chances are they were created during the Ming Dynasty.

Okay... the rant is over, let's get back to the story.

"Your Highness..." Two seconds later, Bao Qi knelt down and said, "...You are a man of wealth, and you only lead ten people into this dangerous place. If something goes wrong..."

"Okay, okay, everyone, get up. Get up and talk first." Zhu Zhihuang continued in a very easy-going tone, "Save it all... I am not a man of wealth..." When he said this, his face changed. With a bit of a wry smile, he seemed to want to say something self-deprecating, but he stopped talking. After a pause, he continued, "Besides, ten people are enough... In addition to me and Lord Chang, you happen to have eight top masters protecting you... What's there to worry about?"

The Master Chang mentioned by Zhu Zhihuang is named Chang Wei.

Okay, I know what you are thinking at this moment, please give up that idea immediately.

Yes, this gentleman's name is Chang Wei, but he is not the Chang Wei who claims not to know martial arts, but an imperial doctor in his sixties with white beard and hair.

As for the other "eight masters", there are naturally seats for Lu Yuan, Bao Qi and Mao Jincai, but... they can only be regarded as the weakest among the Four Heavenly Kings... Oh no, they are the three weakest among the eight masters.

We have to talk about the remaining five masters separately...

The first one is Shangguan Si, the commander of Jin Yiwei. This man is a man of considerable wealth and is also considered a "smart man" by Cao Qin. Along the way, he followed the team on horseback and was dressed in an ordinary royal uniform. At first glance... no one would think that he was one of the people with the highest official positions here.

As for martial arts... Shangguan Si, who is in his early fifties this year, had already practiced his external skills to the level of indestructibility ten years ago. It's a pity that his way of practicing martial arts is too rigid and correct, and he really can't comprehend the "Breathless Kung Fu", otherwise his cultivation level can be improved to a higher level.

Then, there is the second master.

This person's name is Bian Ji, and he is the deputy envoy of the Governor's Office. On weekdays, he gives the impression that he is just an armchair civil servant, but in fact... his internal skills are ranked among the top three among the Ouchi masters, and he is not inferior to Na Du Ying.

By the way, before Cao Qin left the cavalry, Bian Ji and Cao Qin were riding in a carriage together, while the other two carriages were for Zhu Zhihuang and Chang Wei respectively.

Then, you can talk about the third, fourth, and fifth people in one go.

Jiang Xu, Cao Guo, and Yu Fei; that is, the three people riding horses next to the three carriages.

As mentioned in the previous article... they are responsible for escorting several dignitaries in the motorcade. The three of them are all top-notch experts selected from the "Twelve Upper Guards" for this operation, and they are all hereditary royal warriors. They can die for Zhu Zhihuang without hesitation at critical moments.

The above are the eight masters mentioned by Zhu Zhihuang. Counting him and Chang Yuyi, there are exactly ten people. Except for Eunuch Cao who left the team for a solo, the rest of the team are basically minions. Of course..."minions" is also a relative term. Strictly speaking, this entire team of soldiers and horses are all trained soldiers, and they are also regular troops. If they really want to fight, their combat effectiveness will never be lost to those hundreds of people in the martial arts world. Powerful.

"This..." Bao Qi thought for a while, "Since your highness has said so..."

"Okay, Bao Qi, just let the woman lead the way." Shangguan Si's intervention directly ended the argument.

After receiving the instructions from his immediate superior, Bao Qi didn't have much to say: "I obey my orders." He promised, turned around and said to the old woman, "Then... I'll trouble you to lead the way..."

"Ten of you, please come in first." The old woman stepped out of the way and raised her hand to make a "please" gesture.

Then, ten people, Zhu Zhihuang, Chang Wei, Shangguan Si, Bian Ji, Lu Yuan, Bao Qi, Mao Jincai, Jiang Xu, Cao Guo, and Yu Fei, stepped into the threshold of Burial Heart Villa one after another.

"Others, please wait outside the manor." After the ten people came in, the old woman said to the errand boys outside, and then raised her hands.

The next second, the thick door of the manor was urged by an invisible force... and closed with a bang.

Seeing this scene, six of the eight masters had changed their expressions suddenly, only Shangguan Si and Bian Ji remained calm, and were not surprised by this scene.

After closing the door, the old woman turned around and walked in front of the people, and then said: "Everyone... please follow me."

After that, she walked into the manor without looking back. The ten people followed obediently without saying anything more.

Soon, they followed the old woman through a courtyard with elegant scenery and came to a big house.

The style of this house is very strange. On the side facing the courtyard, there is a porch; the door on the porch has no handle, and it looks like a large wooden fence, with white paper pasted in the gaps.

We modern people can easily tell that this is a Japanese sliding door, but the ten people who first entered the Zangxin Villa all saw such a door for the first time.

"Master, the person has been brought here." The old woman stood in front of the porch and bowed her head.

"You go down." A response came from the door immediately.

Just this response made the ten people outside the door imagine a lot. Because the voice coming from the door was like a yellow warbler out of the valley, just like the delicate and charming voice of a young girl.

"Yes." The old woman replied, then slowly stepped back and quietly went away.

After a few breaths, the sliding door on the porch opened to both sides without anyone touching it.

Behind the door, there was a large couch.

On the couch, there was a pink gauze curtain.

And in the curtain, a figure lying on its side could be seen faintly.

Although the King of Hell had not really appeared in front of these people, her attractive body curves and voice alone... had already made several men outside the door feel uneasy and restless.

"Heh..." After a light laugh, Zhu Zhizha was the first to step forward.

As the saying goes, ignorance is fearlessness. For this young prince, how could the graceful figure in front of him be associated with the word "danger"?

"... This girl." Zhu Zhizha bowed and said, "Could it be... that you are the King of Hell?" (To be continued...)
