Chapter 688: False Guard
When Feng Changqi heard this, she also looked at the guard vigilantly, although the person in front of her was indeed wearing the armor of Meng Li's guards, but she had never seen this person.
Isn't he Meng Li's person?
The man dressed as a guard looked at the two of them anxiously, and said, "Master Guoshi, Your Royal Highness, it has been nineteen days since you left, and now there are five people who are critically ill, and they can't delay for a few hours. ”
Feng Changqi frowned, looking back at Yu Wuhopeless, according to their footsteps, even if they traveled day and night, they would return to the national capital tomorrow morning, and this time was indeed very urgent.
"Let's hurry up." Feng Changqi said ambiguously, without directly agreeing to the guard.
She looked back at Yu Wuqi, Yu Wuwang's expression was indifferent, he secretly pinched Feng Changqi's hand, and did not speak.
The guard stomped his feet: "Don't you two believe that your subordinates can't do it, you see, your subordinates ride the snow in the imperial horse prison of Her Majesty the Empress, and it is the fastest horse in the entire Meng Li, a few people don't believe me, I guess I also know the snow." ”
The two looked behind the guard, where there was a pure white horse, with its head held high and snorting impatiently.
This horse is not stepping on the snow, Feng Changqi's heart sank suddenly, although the snow is also a pure white horse, but on the right side of the horse's ear, there is a small pale yellow miscellaneous hair, and Feng Changqi often goes to the stable to visit the snow, and when he sees Feng Changqi in the snow, he will definitely not show such an impatient expression.
It seems that there is indeed something wrong with this guard, Feng Changqi raised his eyebrows, and was about to expose the true face of this person, but at the same time, Yu Wuwang said: "Human life is at stake, since the situation has reached this level, then this Bai Luomu, you will send it to the palace first." ”
The guard looked at the pure white branch, his eyes lit up, and he nodded busily and said, "Walking on the snow is a good horse that travels thousands of miles a day, and it will take less than three hours for the subordinates to arrive at the palace." ”
With a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, Yu Wuwang handed the white Luo Mu to the guard.
The guard hurriedly turned around, mounted his horse, and before he could even say hello, he hurried away.
Feng Changqi looked at Yu Wuwang anxiously, this guard was obviously fake, and Yu Wuwang could also see it, otherwise it would be impossible to remind himself just now, why did he give Bai Luomu to him so easily
Before Feng Changqi could ask, Yu Wuwang seemed to be magical, and took out another piece of identical white Luo wood from his back, and said with a smile: "The real one is still here, and what I gave him is a fake." ”
Feng Changqi was stunned for a moment, and then breathed a long sigh of relief, she knew that what she could see, it was impossible for Yu Wuwang to think of it.
"Trouble the captain and the white divine doctor, send this white Luo Mu to the palace." Yu had no hope of bowing her head and gave the real Bai Luomu to the two of them.
The two of them received the order, without saying a word, they got on their horses and ran towards the palace, Yu Wuwang looked at Yueqing: "Miss Le, the first time you came to Mengli, we didn't entertain well, I hope you will forgive me." ”
Then he called a guard and said, "Now take Miss Le and settle down, and when the matter is understood, we will come back and take you to the palace." ”
The latter sentence was said to Yueqing, but Yueqing shook his head: "If you don't mind, I'll go with you, maybe I can help somewhat." ”
Bai Luomu is a very special thing, only in the country of Yan grows, a hundred years ago, is used by the country for diplomacy on the mainland, and later the country is divided into the day of the box after the month of the religion, Bai Luomu north burned, there is not much left, so in the past hundred years, the country has been fighting friction for many years, and the exchange with the outside world has decreased, not to mention, such a precious thing, but also reluctant to give it away.
It is also because of this that few people on the mainland have heard of such a thing as Guobai Luomu, and even Meng Li's people only know that Feng Changqi and they set off overseas to find an antidote, and they don't know what the specific name of this antidote is.
But just now, the guard called out Bai Luomu's name, and after holding it in his hand, Yu Wuwang observed it vaguely, and the guard secretly weighed it with his hand.
Different from ordinary branches, the most special feature of Bailuo wood is that it is extremely light, and this characteristic, even if the jade is hopeless, they are also told by the people of the country.
That fake guard knows Bai Luomu so well, most of them are inseparable from the country of Yu, if Yueqing also goes, it can indeed help.
"Okay, without further ado, let's hurry up and chase it." Feng Changqi nodded, she didn't think much about jade hopelessness, but she just felt that Yueqing Kung Fu was good, and her combat power would be much stronger.
Yu Wuwang asked someone to bring two fast horses, one to Yueqing, and after helping Feng Changqi to the other batch of horses, Yu Wuwang also straddled it.
Meng Li had a heavy rain a few days ago, so a long list of horseshoe prints had been left on the ground just now, which made it a lot more convenient for several people.
The two horses followed the horseshoe prints, but at the time of the tea, they saw a forest in front of them, and the horseshoe prints went all the way into the woods.
Yueqing rode a few steps forward and didn't hear the hoofs of the other horse, so he stopped and looked back, Feng Changqi and Yu Wuwang had already stopped in front of the woods.
"Why don't you keep chasing," Yueqing asked strangely.
Feng Changqi's expression was solemn, she pointed to the horseshoe prints and said, "That's not the direction to the palace." ”
Yueqing also frowned: "It seems that it is really an impostor, let's continue to chase." ”
The three of them discussed it, got back on their horses, and continued to chase after them.
This is the outskirts of Meng Li's royal city, all of which are farmland pieces by piece, Meng Li's habit here is to bury the deceased family members in the field, looking at one grave bag after another, Feng Changqi can't help but feel sad and nest in the arms of Yu Wuwang.
Because of this plague, Meng Li died at least a thousand people, and Feng Changqi felt particularly bad in his heart.
Yu Wuwang freed up a hand and touched Feng Changqi's face, but at this time, Yueqing suddenly said, "There are footprints in front." ”
In front of him is an endless farmland, golden wheat seedlings swaying in the wind, but among the neat wheat fields, there are traces of two northern trampling.
Feng Changqi got off the horse, and at the junction of these two traces, there were many horseshoe prints and footprints, and judging from the footprints, there was not only one person.
It seems that the other party still has accomplices, but now, what exactly is to follow that trace?
Feng Changqi looked at Yu Hopeless, Jade Hopeless squatted down, and looked carefully, there were a few drops of blood stains here, dripping on the wheat straw, it was difficult to be seen.
The blood stain was still fresh, and Yu Wuwang lowered his head, twisted up a little blood stain, and put it on the tip of his nose to smell it.
"It's human blood, and it looks like they're at odds." Jade said hopelessly.
It seems that there is another group of people who covet Bai Luomu.
He turned around and asked Yueqing: "Miss Le, in addition to being able to detoxify a hundred poisons, this Bai Luomu has other effects."
"I'm not proficient in pharmacology, but the national teacher reminded me that if this white Luo Mu can simply detoxify, I'm afraid that the country will not regard this Bai Luo Mu as such a precious treasure." Yue Qing said with a deep groan.
But now, no matter what role Bai Luomu has, the most critical thing is to quickly use Bai Luomu to detoxify Meng Li's people.
"Let's split up, this is the map to the city of Mengli Wang, before dark, we will meet at the gate of the city, try to avoid conflicts, be careful." Yu Wuwang took out a map and gave it to Yueqing.
Yueqing nodded, rode on a horse and chased after her, Feng Changqi looked at Yueqing with some concern: "She's alone, isn't there really any danger?"
Yu Wuwang smiled lightly: "Her martial arts are also first-class masters in the martial arts, even if she is forced to escape, few people can stop her." ”
Feng Changqi nodded, relieved a lot.
The two of them rode their horses and continued to chase forward, which was diametrically opposite to the direction of going to Mengli Wangcheng, and further on was a wasteland, which was a very chaotic place.
There is a high mountain there, and I don't know what strange plots those Jianghu people have, and regard that place as the holy place of Huashan Sword, so from time to time, you can hear that there are Jianghu people who have made an appointment on the top of the mountain, and there are many Jianghu people who are full of food and are idle to watch.
Bai Huan also felt very troubled by that place, so he simply moved all the people there, and the province was accidentally injured by those Jianghu people.
It seems that those who want Bai Luomu and the people of the rivers and lakes are even more chaotic now.
The two pondered in their hearts and continued to chase after them.
After arriving at the foot of the mountain, the sun was also rising, and Feng Changqi was drowsy, but he was very sensible and did not complain.
But Yu Wuwang was a little distressed, and he asked, "Do you want to rest for a while first?"
Feng Changqi shook his head, if it is delayed for an hour or two, I am afraid there will be more variables.
There was no way to ride a horse up the mountain, so Yu Hopeless found a tea shed, and asked the people in the tea shed to send the horse to the post station, and then walked towards the mountain with Feng Changqi.
Meng Li had a heavy rain, the ground was very muddy, and the footprints in front were messy, Yu Wuwang glanced at it, there were five or six people's footprints, and walked all the way down the mountain.
There was a ruined temple halfway up the mountain, and there were two pairs of footprints that went into the ruined temple and did not come out.
It seems that someone is inside, the two of them looked at each other, and their emotions became excited, there is indeed someone here.
The two did not rush in, but looked outside the door for a while, and at this time, they heard a voice from the temple: "Since you two are here, don't go." ”
As soon as the words fell, two people broke out of the temple, and one of them was the fake guard just now.
This person no longer had the respectful look he had before, and looked at the two of them with a sneer: "I didn't expect you to catch up so quickly, but I'm not afraid to tell you that Bai Luomu is no longer in our hands." ”
