Chapter 17 Chapter Seventeen When the Flowers Bloom and Fall (1)

I stood there silently, looking at Guo Erren and the Empress Dowager, unable to move away for a long time. The wind blowing from nowhere lifted my robe, I woke up with a start, and there was a faint voice coming from the front. I looked around and hid on the stone steps beside me. A group of Turkic soldiers ran over panting, and the chief sergeant, seeing Guoerren and the Empress, instinctively lit up his weapons and surrounded him with vigilance, yelling to surround him, Don't let him run away or anything. A few soldiers boldly came over and stabbed Guo Erren several times from the back, and then jumped away without even pulling out their swords in fright.

After a while, Guo Erren's iron tower-like body was full of swords, like a hedgehog. Those Turkic soldiers waited for a long time, but seeing that Guo Erren did not respond, everyone was overjoyed, with greedy eyes flashing in their eyes. If you repay your merits, you can get as many beauties, cattle and sheep as you can, and then approach Guo Erren with confidence. People kept pulling out swords from Guoerren's body, his body was bleeding all over the ground, and he fell down slowly. The soldiers scattered in fright, and then laughed nervously. After a while, they seemed to realize that the Empress Dowager was lying quietly in Guoerren's single arm, and someone knelt down in fright again, but Yiming, without any fear, strode forward and stared at her in an extremely rude manner. Glancing at the Empress Dowager, she snorted softly, and then reached out to pull the Empress Dowager out.

Guo Erren hugged the Empress Dowager very tightly, as if he wanted someone to bury him and the Empress Dowager together, but Yiming couldn't pull them away, and his face twisted: "Old man Guo Erren, do you still want to bury him with the Empress Dowager?" Die with your harlot?" A man with the appearance of a sergeant came over seriously, and said to Yiming, "Burke, please be careful, don't forget that Emperor Zhan Ning is still the honorable mother of our Great Turk, you must not..." Before he finished speaking, his head fell to the ground, and all the soldiers turned pale with fright, looking at Yiming whose face was covered with blood.

Yiming grinned grimly, his pupils were like ghosts: "Who has any objections?" Everyone kept their voices back and bowed back, only to see that he immediately slashed at Guo Erren's body with one slash after another, injuring the Empress Dowager's body at the same time. There was a distorted smile on his face, his eyes were almost crazy with hatred, and he kept cursing in his mouth. I was terrified to see that Guo Erren's body was chopped into meat paste. Seeing that the face of Empress Zhan Ning was about to be chopped off, a silver arrow flew across the ground, Yiming dodged all the way, and the ground was spattered with blood.

"Yiming, enough is enough. Revenge and hatred have turned you into a devil." A voice came from the other end of the tunnel, and within a moment a group of people rushed in with bright torches. Tall, with blood splattered all over his body, and black armor, but with a little more pressure than Yiming. "Amir, have you forgotten?" Yiming held up the blood-dripping scimitar and smiled hollowly. "Radoui was killed by him and his bitch daughter." "I haven't forgotten, Yiming." Amir's blue eyes revealed sadness, and he shook his head slightly: "But the Empress Dowager is the Holy Mother of all Turkic people after all, and you will hurt the feelings of all Turkic people by doing this."

Yiming calmed down, put away the scimitar, and traced his face: "Okay, Amir Burke, then I will search for the traces of the flower hibiscus." Turning around to leave, Amir called him again: "Yiming .” Yiming turned back coldly, Amir hesitated to speak, and sighed: "Did you forget, Yiming, His Majesty is waiting for your good news." "And...you are seriously injured, you must be treated by the imperial doctor immediately. There are many traps here, and you are not familiar with the terrain, so let me search for the flower hibiscus for you." At Guo Erren's place, the knife came down in his hand, and with a click, he cut off his head, and called someone to lift up the Empress, pulled Guo Erren's headless body, and led the people and horses to turn around and leave.

"Lord Burke, if you hadn't told Yiming the way down, how could he have found Guo Erren and made great achievements, why did you let him go back alone to take the credit?" A long-haired warrior walked behind Amir , with a high jawbone, and said disdainfully behind Amir, "Look at this ungrateful eunuch, he is ignoring us less and less." His Turkic accent is heavy, and he seems to be from Gemoge (the word mo he cannot be typed, it is a minority). "Gu Libu, don't forget that he is now a celebrity in front of His Majesty's eyes," Amir said coldly, "One thing more is worse than one thing less."

"Yes," the long-haired warrior Gu Libu nodded, "Master Burke, let's search for that woman in three ways." Amir glanced at my hiding place vaguely: "This is His Majesty's forbidden place, just you and me, and the rest of you can wait up to protect His Majesty." There was a sound of armor in the ears, and then it fell silent. The long-haired warrior shuddered: "Lord Burke, Lord Yiming, they seem to have dropped a dagger." There was a faint light shining in the pool of blood. The long-haired warrior bent down into the pool of blood, and soon picked up a dagger and wiped it off with his sleeve. Even under the faint light of the torch, a blinding light shot out. The gemstones also shone with mysterious nobility one after another. It turned out that Guo Erren used it as a reward for committing suicide.

It just so happened that one of the samurai's hair fell out, and the result immediately fulfilled the spectacular scene about the hair being blown off. He let out a slight exclamation sound and spoke for a long time in a language I couldn't understand, probably in admiration The delicacy and sharpness of love. Amir reached out to take it, pondered for a moment, and then came to me. I stroked the wound, touched a stone, and prepared to die. Walking a step away from my hiding place, Amir suddenly stopped: "Gu Libu, do you know the origin of this dagger?" Gu Libu shook his head in a daze.

"Bi Chulu, the first generation king of Ashina's family, once loved a Han concubine, who was as beautiful as a fairy, but his special favor for this Han concubine attracted the strong feelings of other Ke He Dun. Therefore, news of the assassination of the concubine of the Han Dynasty spread from time to time in the harem. So the great Bi Chulu Khan sent people to? This dagger, and then found the most precious jewels in the world, let the best jeweler spend half a year carefully adorning these jewels, and even gave this dagger a Chinese name called 'Rewarding Love'." Bone strength filled his eyes: "As expected of being the son of the wolf god on the grassland, how rich the world is, possessing a beauty like a fairy."

Amir sighed: "Khan Bi Chulu gave this famous artifact to Concubine Han to protect her, but..." Gu Libu scratched his head, as if he was a little confused by his Lord Burke's sudden eloquence of storytelling, but he still cautiously said, "But what... Lord Burke." "Bi Chulu Khan never imagined that the Han concubine wanted to assassinate him with this dagger. Of course, the son of the wolf god was blessed by Tengger and was not injured, so the Han concubine took this dagger Love' committed suicide." Amir's blue eyes lightly looked at Gu Libu, who trembled imperceptibly. "Since then, this dagger has become a terrible curse. Anyone who becomes the owner of this dagger either dies, goes mad, or disappears forever in this world. The best ending is the previous owner, King Guhun. " "Which King of Guhun?" Gu Libu murmured, "Could it be the former Western Turkic King of Guhun who was captured by the Eastern Court?" Amir smiled: "The spies from Middle-earth sent news the day before yesterday that King Yuhun, who had been imprisoned in the black dungeon for seven years, died. When the body was dragged out, it was said that it was already black and thin and had no human form." Gu Libu was in a daze: "It's no wonder that Sergeant Yiming didn't take this dagger seriously." Amir handed him the reward: "Gu Libu, congratulations, a warrior like you owns such an artifact, it should be..." Gu Libu took a big step back: "Almighty Tengger bless me, I don't want such a murderous blade. Guoerren used this kind of weapon to assassinate the Empress Dowager, and maybe he killed himself with this dagger in the end." , I advise Lord Burke not to touch it either." Amir sighed: "What you said seems to make sense. If that's the case, let's leave it." Gu Libu was relieved, and Amir bowed slightly to the dagger, saying in his mouth: "Bless Tengri." He seemed to let go of the reward at will, but he was on the ground not far from me: "Gu Libu, we are going to go deep into the underground palace. There are fierce monsters who are opposed to Tengger here. If anything happens, Do remember that as long as you follow the messenger of the wind, you will be able to find the exit, but you must keep it a secret." Amir replied loudly, and then only heard Gu Libu's vigorous reply, the footsteps gradually faded away, I stretched out my head, only to see two fire lights disappearing at the end of the darkness. I went along with my breath and slowly crawled out, looking at me quietly on the ground. I picked up the reward, its scabbard had long been lost somewhere in Gongyue City, and it was nowhere to be found, only the colorful jewels on the hilt were still shining in the dark. Is this reward really a cursed ominous thing?Or is the human heart in this world too unpredictable? I laughed at myself, remembering what Amir said, he seems to be helping me? why?Is it because I helped his poor sister? Which way should I go to find Yuan Feibai and Duan Yuerong?When they are found, will it be as Erren said, that both sides will suffer, or one will die and the other will be injured. My heart flustered, and there was another sharp pain in my ribs. I tried to stand while leaning on the wall, remembering that Amir said that as long as you follow the messenger of the wind, what is the messenger of the wind?Where can we see the so-called messenger of the wind? I leaned against the wall and waited for the intercostal pain to subside for a while, then took a torch on the wall, bent down to find a bow on the ground, and picked up a few iron arrows left by Shou Guoerren in the pool of blood, and wiped them. After collecting the bloodstains, I took another photo in the direction of Amir's childhood, and the dark passage had no end. Maybe following Amir and that bone cloth, I will find the exit. I made a decision, followed Amir’s direction, leaned on the wall all the way, and suddenly felt a strange touch in my hand. I took the torch and took a closer look. A hammer-like mark. I suddenly remembered the months of house arrest in the Cool Wind Palace. I had nothing to do to study Turkic culture. It was mentioned that the envoy of the wind always carried his scepter, and the full stick looked a bit like a hammer. I became excited, and the desire to survive made me excited. This sign is a bit familiar.what!I remembered, this seems to have been seen on the mother goddess tree before. By the way, the tree mother goddess is an entrance to the underground palace, so there is also such a mark, these marks will never be as old as a hundred years, it feels like it was added five or six years ago. Could it be Feijue? I fantasized about right and wrong, did Jue magically calculate my predicament seven years later, and then leave these symbols to help me? I smiled wryly at my own innocence, shook my head, dismissed all the random thoughts in my head, gritted my teeth and groped all the way in the dark, and sure enough there was a small hammer every five steps. There is a little light flashing in front of my eyes, the more I walk forward, the more it shines in my eyes, making my heart jump for joy. I quickened my pace and rushed over, and there was a faint conversation in front of me. I stooped and walked forward lightly. I saw a group of people sitting in front of the fire, and a tall man in black with a white mask was standing on the right. , there was a beautiful woman sitting lazily beside her, it turned out to be Sima Yun and Qing Mei. The one on the left is Qi Fang with a cold face, sitting beside Yange, staring blankly at a bundle in his arms, it is a piece of clothing that Chunlai usually likes to wear, I feel uncomfortable for a while. "This is the rhythm lock. Among the four of us, only Ben Gong can play. Qi Zhongshu, the so-called one who knows the current affairs is a hero. If you return to the third master Jiangyuan, how about I take you out together?" This is Sima Yun's voice. When did this kid become so loyal?For the person who persuaded me to surrender for Yuan Feibai? "You don't have to worry about your master. When I was working in Ziyuan, I can tell that she is a rare and clever girl. Now she is protected by the third master Yuan. Thinking about the past few years without the protection of the third master Yuan, Although he is neither male nor female, he is still living a splendid life, not only making money well, becoming a wealthy businessman in the whole country, but also marrying a lot of wives and daughters-in-law?" "Those women are all poor people my girl met along the way. She was bullied by the troubled times and had nowhere to go. The girl took them in. There are also children from Hope Primary School who are also orphans from the wars these years. Do you know? How many people has my girl saved over the years, and how much money has she paid for the third master?" Qi Fang said coldly. "Hmph!" Qing Mei pouted her lips, "Without the support of Dali's Duan family, how could she, a woman with no strength to restrain a chicken, have such supernatural powers?" Qi Fang glanced at him coldly: "Aren't you also a woman with no strength to restrain a chicken, but the third master Yuan also recognized your talent, which made you surpass your master and lover, and become Dongying's undercover... Are you the leader of the people? You are not simple!" "Hey! I want to put this on other people's lips. Maybe I will delay him a thousand times, but since I am a cold-faced scholar from Jiangnan, I can take it as a compliment," Qing Mei's beautiful eyes turned, and her pretty face burst out. With a smile, "Thank you!" Qi Fang stared at Qing Mei slightly, as if he didn't expect Qing Mei to say that, Sima Yun said coldly from behind the mask: "Xiao Qing." "Anyway, when Madam returns to her original home, we will be a family. Scholar with a cold face, let me teach you that dark man in the future." "Blau, don't worry, besides, my master's family has a big business, so let the master decide for himself. As for the dark man, I will never put mine in the hands of a cruel, despicable woman like you." Qingmei laughed up to the sky, as if she had heard the funniest joke, then shut up abruptly, ran up to Qi Fang, and spread her five fingers together: "If the dark people are not cruel enough, mean and shameless, how can they be called dark people?" ?” "That stupid woman pretending to be your girl is your match!" Qing Mei raised her neck and said softly through her nose, "You can tell from the first glance that you have neglected to practice. If you are a substitute, you must be familiar with what to do. Even if you don’t know about the habits and preferences of a person, you should know what kind of person Jun Mo Wen is, why she fell into her hands, and how did she become a clay figurine? Even a child can see through that she is a pretender. It's been a lifetime of being a dark person, and I've never seen a dark person as bad as her. If she hadn't fallen into the hands of the third master, she would have died countless times. If I were you, I would go to Zhiming Street Buy a piece of old tofu and kill it."
