Camelback Ridge.

The sleeping earth was awakened by the explosion of gunpowder. The violent shaking shocked the wind, whistling and lifting up the flower trees, bamboo forests, ponds and stone lanterns at the bottom of the valley. Pieces of fire were submerged. The waterfall poured down like a roar, and rocks flew across the valley.

Into shambles...

"kill!"

"Die for the Lord!"

For the sake of confidentiality, all the soldiers Fu Jiuqu dispatched from the Yangzhou camp were stationed in the mountains outside the waterfall and did not enter the canyon behind the waterfall. The only people inside were Fu Jiuqu's personal guards, who were already outnumbered.

The big loss caught everyone by surprise again. Explosions, smoke, cold arrows, punches to the flesh, and it was a mess for a while——

"Guard Cheng!" Xin Yi's mind went blank for a moment when the explosion occurred, but he quickly reacted, grabbed the stone door and said in a deep voice:

"Let our people retreat to the stone wall."

A group of enemies dropped from the sky from the top of the valley. They waited for the surrounding garrison to react, but they were afraid it would be too late. There were explosives everywhere at the bottom of the valley, except for the stone wall. Obviously the enemy had some scruples about this place. Then, they didn't have to be polite.

Fighting more with less, relying on cohesion and geographical advantages, this is undoubtedly the best place.

"Okay." Cheng Cang suddenly put his hand into his mouth and blew a loud whistle.

It's poignant, sharp, yet gentle.

Xin Yi couldn't understand what the whistle meant, but when the guards heard it, they all moved towards the entrance of the stone wall and retreated.

Xin Yi looked at the bursts of mist rising into the sky and shouted towards the top of the cliff.

"Yin Shuang——"

"Yinshuang, where are you?"

The explosion happened very suddenly. If Yinshuang stopped on the branch, would he be injured?

In Xin Yi's heart, Yinshuang is no longer just a bird, but a family member.

"Chirp——"

A bird chirped.

Yinshuang swooped over, passed over the crowd of people fighting in the firelight, and landed directly on Xin Yi's shoulder.

Xin Yi called out "Yinshuang" in surprise, feeling indescribably moved in his heart.

Yinshuang's beautiful feathers became dirty, and two of them seemed to be broken. She looked very embarrassed. She "cooed" affectionately on Xin Yi's shoulder, then fluttered into the hole.

It was dark inside the cave and Xin Yi couldn't see clearly, so he had to let it go and look at the situation between the two warring parties.

Cheng Cang stood guard next to Xin Yi, while Liang Yi led a group of guards to fight outside. Yi Chuan pulled the pale Yu Du, and the guards turned their backs to the stone wall, forming a protective circle with Xin Yi as the center.

This was not the first time Xin Yi had seen such a bloody fighting scene, but it was the first time he had faced it alone without Fu Jiuqu.

"The princess." Cheng Cang said, "You go in first! It's important to save the princess."

Xin Yi looked at the turntable on the cave, counting the time in his mind, and lowered his voice and said to Cheng Cang:

"The stone door will be closed soon. I will go in by myself in a while. Don't follow me. If I don't come out after I go in -"

She glanced at the dark enemy opposite and frowned slightly.

"Don't be obsessed with fighting, it's more important to save your life."

Once she enters the cave, life or death is unknown. She is not afraid of death, but she does not want these people... not characters, but real people. In order to save them, they are surrounded by Gaominglou and slaughtered outside the cave.

She didn't want to see that scene.

When Cheng Cang heard this, his face showed joy.

"Isn't that the best? Before the stone door closes, you count three times. Let our people rush in together, so that the enemy can be blocked from outside the cave..."

"No." Xin Yi looked slightly cold.

"This cave... is easy to enter, but difficult to come out. If you rush in hastily, not only will you not be able to save the prince, but you will also lose your life."

Cheng Cang understood a little bit.

This is a life and death situation.

Without thinking, he said calmly: "Don't be afraid. If we want to live together, we will live together and if we want to die, we will die together."

Xin Yi looked at his determined expression, looked at Shimen again, and shook his head.

"The prince and I are husband and wife, and we should be together in life and death, but you don't have to be buried with us. Remember, as soon as the stone gate is closed, you will run away for your lives. When you return to Yangzhou Mansion, immediately protect the three little ones and the young master back to Bianjing.

, hand it over to the eldest princess in person..."

Cheng Cang: "Princess Princess!"

Xin Yi looked anxious.

"It's too late. You cooperate with me...I will count them in a while and draw all their attention to me. When the count is one, you order them to retreat and run for their lives."

"yes!"

Cheng Cang responded slowly, looked around at the situation between the enemy and us, and raised his hand to wave.

"Liang Yi, you guys gather around, we can't let these arrogant people rush in and hurt the princess..."

Liang Yi: "I understand."

The circle shrank smaller and smaller, and the fire came closer and closer.

A man in black robe slowly walked over from the enemy group.

His face was expressionless and his eyes were dark, staring at Xin Yi coldly.

Xin Yi also saw him.

The man in black clothes and black robe was mysterious, cold, and his facial features were not clearly distinguishable, but his eyes seemed to be extraordinarily bright. Looking at each other at a distance of neither close nor far, Xin Yi couldn't help but feel a chill.

Gaoming Building.

We will meet again here.

Xin Yi looked at him motionless, coldly and indifferently, his lips suddenly opening and closing.

"The Shimen is about to close. Gaominglou, you have no chance. The countdown begins, ten..."

Cheng Cang glanced at her and winked at Liang Yi.

"Nine!" Xin Yi's voice was not strong, but her words were precise and clear. It seemed to carry some kind of determined power, making everyone's nerves jump with the numbers in her mouth.

Gaoming Tower was getting closer and closer to the stone gate. A group of guards were blocking the front. For a while, he couldn't get through, but he didn't seem to be in a hurry. He glanced at the dark stone cave and his eyes fell on Xin Yi's pretty little face.

superior.

"Ayima, we meet again."

Gao Minglou slowly stepped forward, his voice becoming clearer and smiling.

"Do you still like the gift I gave you?"

Xin Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and leaned close to the stone door.

"seven."

Gao Minglou looked at her quietly. Xin Yi's face was slightly pale, but much rounder than before, and he was extremely serious at this time.

He suddenly showed a strange smile.

"It seems you don't like my gift very much..."

After a pause in his voice, he lowered his face, a cold light flashing in his black pupils.

"Have you not eaten? Go ahead and capture Ayima alive!"

"Yes, my lord."

"Six!" Xin Yi stood quietly and counted softly, his eyes flickering in the firelight.

She carefully observed the changes in Shimen.

But one cannot ignore the sense of oppression brought by Gaoming Tower.

After not seeing each other for the past few days, Gaominglou was more dangerous and sinister than before, and there was a sense of weirdness that she couldn't describe.

If this is the treasure house of the Southern Tang Dynasty, it will only be related to Yudu. Why would Gaominglou come to the door so easily? Or at a time like this?

There is only one possibility: the secret passage of Yu's family in Mofen Lane is related to him. The "voice" that Yu Du mentioned, the man behind commanding and controlling him, is Gao Minglou.

But how did Gao Minglou obtain this information and gain control over it?

"five……"

Xin Yi counted a number again and his lips trembled slightly.

Yes, this matter is not difficult to guess - if Gao Minglou is a time traveler like her. At the same time, just like her powerful buff, he may also have a special ability. It is this ability that makes him unable to

With no effort, they controlled Yu's mother and son and arranged everything.

Ten seconds is very short.

Sometimes, it's extremely long.
