Chapter 75 Something Happened in the Mountains
Qin Su looked around carefully, and probably knew it in his heart.
"Let's go down and take a look now, will we startle the snake?"
"As long as you are careful, you should be fine. This secret passage leads to the place where the living dead are stored. The living dead will not move without a special call."
Twelve guaranteed by the side.
The original purpose of this trip was to find out the details below, and Qin Su was also a little tempted, "Well, let's go down and have a look."
"Your Highness," Lu Yan stopped Qin Su from the side, "Let's go down and have a look, the three of us, and go into the tiger's den alone. This is dangerous, and we must not take risks with your highness' daughter."
Ziyun also echoed by the side.
Qin Su hesitated for a moment, then nodded and responded, "Okay, you just need to go down and find out the situation, be careful, if there is any trouble, you need to come back quickly, I will respond here."
"Your Highness, take care."
The three should go down, with twelve leading, and go down through the secret passage first.
Qin Su put the wooden plank back on again, then covered it with fallen leaves, and flew onto a tree not far away, holding his sword to guard.
The deep forest was silent, and Qin Su's ears were extremely keen, and he could even hear the footsteps of the twelve people walking further and further away.
After roughly judging the positions of the three of them, Qin Su stood on the branch of a tree and took note of the surrounding terrain.
The sound of footsteps was getting farther away and could not be heard clearly. Qin Su looked away and was about to close his eyes to rest when he heard a noise.
After listening carefully, it seemed that it came from the direction of the footsteps of the three people just now. Qin Su frowned slightly, and followed the sound to that side.
The faint sound of fighting came, and Qin Su always felt that something was wrong. How could they be discovered so quickly with the abilities of Luyan and Ziyun?Could it be that Twelve really has a problem?
With this kind of doubt in his heart, Qin Su drew out his sword to be on guard.
The sound of fighting started to go to the secret passage, Qin Su followed the sound, until he reached the entrance of the secret passage, the wooden board blocking the secret passage was lifted by someone's palm, Qin Su stood on the tree next to him and looked down, Ziyun was looking down. He rushed out of the dark passage with a green smoke in one hand.
Qin Su stretched out his hand to catch the two of them, and drove back the pursuers with a sword.
"Your Highness, let's go!"
Ziyun hurriedly reminded Qin Su that Qin Su didn't like to fight. After killing the first three people who ran out of the secret passage, he kicked the stone next to him and firmly pressed the entrance of the secret passage.
Helping Ziyun hold the unconscious Luyan, Qin Su frowned slightly, "What's going on?"
"Shen Shen has already set up an ambush, I've been caught!"
With green smoke on her back, Ziyun anxiously explained something to Qin Su, and the three of them hurried to the barracks.
"boom!"
Dozens of people fell in front of them, blocking the way of Qin Su and the others, obviously an ambush had already been laid.
Ziyun immediately took out the signal fireworks from his waist, and the moment the fire pocket was lit, the fireworks exploded in the air.
Chishui can definitely see the signal, and he will be able to bring people here soon. The only thing he needs now is to delay time.
"Ziyun, take care of Luyan."
Qin Su didn't talk nonsense, stepped forward, stopped the rushing person, and left Ziyun and Luyan between her back and a big tree to protect their safety.
"Your Highness, don't worry about the two subordinates, let's go!"
Ziyun was obviously also injured. Looking at the posture in front of him, it would not be very difficult for Qin Su to leave alone, but it would be absolutely impossible to bring the two of them with him.
"There is no such reason!"
Qin Su turned his head and glanced at Ziyun, and with a sword he flew one person away, pulled out a sword flower, and stabbed into the shoulder of the person who wanted to attack from behind.
The clanging sound of metal colliding could be heard endlessly. Qin Su's sword style had always focused on killing people, and he seldom defended.
"Your Highness!"
Ziyun exclaimed behind him, and Qin Su glanced over the two of them from the corner of his eye, only to see that one person slipped behind Qin Su's inattention, trying to sneak attack Ziyun and Luyan.
Qin Su looked at the sharp sword with cold light, and before he had time to think, he swung his sword away from the enemy in front of him, dodged past, and blocked the sword with his back.
The sound of metal colliding made people's scalp numb. Qin Su pushed the sword into the man's heart with his backhand, moved his arms indifferently, and said two words indifferently, "I want to die."
The only gold-threaded soft armor in the world is not for bragging. Qin Su doesn't pay attention to this kind of ordinary weapon at all.
After dealing with the crisis here, Qin Su also became more considerate, "Ziyun, take the green smoke up the tree, and leave it to Bengong."
To face the battle again, after Qin Su protected the two of them up the tree, he no longer needed to worry about the people behind him, and started killing under the tree.
Just when Qin Su was about to break through the siege, Qin Su's ears moved and he frowned.
Then the sound of footsteps approaching in the distance, those who besieged Qin Su and the others also stopped and only surrounded the three of them.
Dozens of people, led by a white-faced scholar, rushed to support and surrounded Qin Su and the three of them.
"You are Shen Shen?"
Qin Su looked at the person who came, the tip of the sword rolled down with blood beads, and disappeared into the mud.
"Exactly."
Holding a fan in Shen Shen's hand, he looked at the dead bodies all around him, "Your friend seems to be a bad person?"
"Since there is no way to treat guests, why blame the visitor for being unkind?" Qin Su wished that the other party could talk more nonsense, anyway, all she wanted was to delay time.
"An uninvited guest counts as a guest?"
Shen Shen asked back.
"If you say that, aren't you a bandit?"
Qin Su continued.
"how you said that?"
Shen Shen didn't know Qin Su's identity, he just waited for Shen Xunyi to come back and throw himself into the trap, only when Qin Su came with Shen Xunyi, he frowned upon hearing this.
"This is the territory of Dayong, are you the people of Dayong?
If the people of Dayong turned their swords at this palace, they would be bandits. If it was not the people of Dayong who broke into this place without the permission of the master, what is it not? "
Qin Su moved his ears, and Chishui came.
"who are you?"
Only then did Shen Shen feel that something was wrong, and glanced at Qin Su, "You are... the eldest princess of Dayong, Qin Su?"
"Recognized?"
Qin Su smiled indifferently, and saw that Shen Shen's face suddenly became ugly.
Shen Jingyan has a portrait of Empress Deren, and Qin Su resembles Empress Deren seven or eight times. Although their temperaments are quite different, Shen Shen can react after such a short effort.
"Shen Xunyi dared to lure wolves into the house?! Really crazy!"
Shen Shen and the others obviously heard the voice, and quickly looked around.
Since Qin Su is here, the army should not be far away. Shen Shen took another look at the dead bodies all over the place, knowing that it is impossible to take Qin Su down in a short time, so he can only give up, "Withdraw!"
Just the few of them naturally didn't dare to fight against the army, Shen Shen didn't want to throw his life here so quickly, as soon as he raised his hand, everyone quickly retreated.
Qin Su wanted to drive Shen Shen to death now, but he had no choice. Although the movement had come, it would take time for Chishui and the others to come over. He might be able to parry by himself, but it would be a bit crazy to stop so many people Night Tale.
"Your Highness!"
Chishui saw the bright red from a distance, then looked at Qin Su and the others who were leaning against the tree and stood under the tree, and hurried over, "My subordinates are too late to save you!"
"It's not too late, Luyan and Ziyun are injured, let's go back first."
Qin Su wiped off the blood on the sword with a handkerchief, put away the sword, and everyone returned to the camp together.
Luyan was still in a coma, and Ziyun's injuries were not serious, so he explained the ins and outs to Qin Su and others.
"Subordinates, Twelve and Luyan just went down the secret passage and walked to the place where Twelve said the living corpses were stored, and saw a lot of people standing there. Twelve said it was a living corpse, so we didn't suspect it. I wanted to go around there to see other situations, but unexpectedly, Twelve suddenly found that one of the group of living dead moved a little bit, and immediately felt that something was wrong."
"I waited for the three of us to retreat quickly, but it was too late. Shen Shen not only ambushed people at the entrance of the secret passage, but also designed a mechanism. Twelve was caught by the other party in order to push the two of us out. Green smoke Hit by the trick, the two of us staggered and fled to the entrance of the secret passage, and Lu Yan was injured again, but fortunately His Highness responded, otherwise it may be a disaster."
This trip basically found nothing other than being ambushed, and even exposed the army, which made Ziyun feel a little guilty. Three long and two short, is a major event.
After listening to Ziyun's words, Qin Su looked at Luyan, who was lying unconscious in the tent beside him, "Twelve didn't know that Shen Shen also knew about this secret passage?"
"I don't know. Twelve said that Shen Jingyan secretly left this secret passage back then. When Shen Shen killed Shen Jingyan and wanted to kill Twelve and others, Twelve and others escaped from here."
These were all clarified when Chishui asked Twelve in detail before, so I felt credible, but I didn't think there would be variables after more than a year.
"It's troublesome now."
Chi Shui shook his head. This time, he came here just to make a surprise. It would be best to let the other party end all this before he could react. After all, what Qin Su dispatched troops to report to Emperor Yong Le was to suppress the bandits. How could the bandits have suffered heavy casualties?At that time, it will definitely be revealed.
Qin Su doesn't have time to think about this now, she just thinks about one thing, "Why didn't Twelve tell us about the living dead before?"
Qin Su was quite concerned about this matter. After all, from what Twelve said just now, Shen Shen's trump card is the living dead. If this is the case, why didn't he say it at the beginning?
Chishui and Ziyun also fell silent, and I don't know why Twelve didn't say anything during the interrogation of Twelve, but if it is said that Twelve is united with Shen Shen, it is unreasonable to deliberately lure Qin Su here, After all, everything that should be said and should not be said has already been said. If it is just to attract Qin Su, the price is too high, and what is the use of them attracting Qin Su?
I can't figure it out, but I still have to fight this battle.
Qin Su thought for a while, "This is like a mouse cave, the entrance is pitifully narrow, why not send people to bring more gunpowder and fireworks over, and enclose the entire mountain in Twelve, My palace is going to set off fireworks for the people in the mouse hole."
Chishui and Ziyun looked at Qin Su at the same time, "Your Highness, don't you want to keep it for your own use?"
After all, Qin Su planned it like this from the beginning, and the living dead sounded like an extremely easy-to-control and powerful weapon. Why was it going to blow up again all of a sudden?
"I just feel that it doesn't matter if such evil things don't stay, if this method becomes popular, it won't be a mess?"
Qin Su thought it was right at first, but this living dead person is too contrary to the law of nature, and it is really not suitable to stay.
"What Your Highness said is very true."
Chishui and Ziyun responded, and began to arrange according to Qin Su's instructions.
It can be bombed, but now that Twelve is still in the hands of those people, Qin Su is somewhat hesitant. After all, the other party has surrendered to him. Would it be inappropriate for him to be killed together with her?
Qin Su's hesitation did not last for a while, and someone came to report immediately.
"Your Highness, the gangsters sent someone to pass on a message that they want to have peace talks with His Highness."
Qin Su was not surprised to hear the news.
Qin Su's habit of fighting over the years is almost known to everyone. She never fights unprepared battles. Every time she prepares sufficient food and grass, and has a huge army, she can win by simply relying on numbers.
Now Shen Shen couldn't figure out the details of Qin Su, and didn't know how many people had come, so he naturally didn't want to confront him head-on.
"Promise him, he will set the time, and I will set the location."
Qin Su agreed without hesitation, and when he really wanted to doze off, someone gave him a pillow.
Now it will take time to transport gunpowder to the mountain, and if it can be delayed, it will naturally be delayed, and according to Twelve, there are probably nearly [-] living people and living dead in the entire mountain, and the fighting power of the living dead is unknown. He is strong and strong, so he can't take advantage of it in a fight. If he can negotiate first, learn more, or replace the twelve, and know what the name of the living corpse is, maybe he will be more confident.
The messenger quickly passed on Qin Su's words, and after a while, the person from Shen Shen's side gave back the time for the peace talks.
In the afternoon two days later.
Looking at this time, Qin Su probably guessed that the other party might want to know something from Twelve's mouth. According to Ziyun, Twelve was seriously injured at the time, and he may still be in a coma now. Perhaps it was because of this that Shen Shen, Will choose two days later.
"Alright, go and tell Shen Shen that the location is on that mountain. Also, I want him to guarantee Twelve's safety. I want to see Twelve during the negotiation."
Qin Su casually pointed out that the mountain was in the middle of Qin Su's camp and Shen Shen's base camp, which was beneficial to both parties.
In this regard, it was agreed that Qin Su's side was intensively preparing for the gunpowder.
Two days passed in a flash, and soon the day agreed upon by the two arrived.
Chishui has already arranged people around, and of course Shen Shen also has arrangements.
Qin Su set off unhurriedly that day, and arrived at the place just in time, where Shen Shen had been waiting for a long time.
There was a simple long table, and the two sat at one end.
Qin Su was dressed in ordinary clothes as usual, and Shen Shen was also dressed like a white-faced scholar that day. It seemed that the two sides came to the peace talks with sincerity and no hostility.
"His Royal Highness, we are all straightforward people. Since this is the case, we will stop talking nonsense and get straight to the point. Why is the eldest princess willing to retreat?"
Shen Shen looked at Qin Su, although he didn't know what was going on in his heart, but at least he was doing well on the surface.
"It depends on what kind of conditions Mr. Shen can offer. I can't let me run for nothing, can I?"
When Qin Su went out to fight, there was no time to retreat, but she definitely couldn't say that, she still had to stabilize Shen Shen for the time being.
"Eldest princess, please, I, Shen, don't want to be an enemy of the eldest princess or Dayong, I just want to stand in a corner, if the eldest princess agrees, Shen will naturally have nothing to do."
Shen Shen's words were clever, and he was obviously testing Qin Su's intentions.
Previously colluding with local officials, colluding with people in the Shengjing court, Shen Shen had only one purpose, wanted a place to hide.
This request seems really simple, but if you think about it carefully, whoever agrees, wouldn't he become the one who protects the remnants of the previous dynasty?
Qin Su propped his chin and looked at Shen Shen. She was quite curious. What kind of conditions did Shen Shen come up with to make the second-rank officials in Jiangnan and Shengjing tempted?
"Oh? Mr. Shen is really straightforward. Actually, what's so difficult about this matter? It's just that I want to know more, what can Mr. Shen give me?
To be honest, Bengong didn't expect Mr. Shen to have any conditions to come to negotiate with Bengong. "
Qin Su's words were considered rude, and it was obvious that he didn't take Shen Shen seriously.
But Shen Shen didn't mind at all, and looked at Qin Su with a smile, "Knowing that the eldest princess has power and power, and half of the world belongs to the eldest princess, naturally I don't like these small hills like Shen, But if you think about it, the eldest princess should also have heard about the living dead from her sister?
If His Highness approves, then Shen and these hills will obey the order of His Royal Highness, and will belong to His Royal Highness, willing to do the work of a dog for His Highness. "
Qin Su narrowed his eyes, so it turned out that this Shen Shen is quite good at drawing big cakes. With this one condition, I'm afraid I didn't know how many people were bluffed, but looking at it now, they are all firmly in Shen Shen's hands. Get your hands dirty?
She knew it in her heart, but Qin Su didn't show it on the face. She seemed a little tempted, but it wouldn't make her agree on the spot, "Well, what about Twelve? How about I take a look at Twelve first and then talk about it?"
Deliberately changing the topic, Qin Su looked around, but did not see Twelve.
"Your Highness is saying... my sister-in-law Shen Xunyi?"
At first, Shen Shen didn't realize who Qin Su was talking about, but after thinking about it, Shen Xunyi was the only one in his hands, so he couldn't be wrong.
"I don't like the name Shen Xunyi, so Twelve asked me to give her a name. I like the number twelve, so I took her name. Now she is called Twelve. I hope Mr. Shen will give her a name next time." Be careful, don't call it wrong again."
Qin Su talked nonsense without blinking, and lied without blushing. She was the one who forced people to change their names, but now Twelve asked her to give her a name.
The expression on Shen Shen's face cracked for a moment, but then returned to normal, "Don't worry, Your Highness, she is Shen's younger sister after all, so she will be fine, come and bring the young lady here."
After Shen Shen gave the order, he looked at Qin Su, who was still drinking tea leisurely, with a questioning look in his eyes, "Is your Highness close to your sister-in-law?"
"Young Master Shen, don't you know why I came here?"
Qin Su deliberately lied to Shen Shen. She expected that with Twelve's character of hating Shen Shen, she would not be able to say anything to Shen Shen. Otherwise, if Shen Shen knew that he would bring less than 1 people here, without backup, I'm afraid I won't negotiate with myself so politely.
"Could it be... Your Highness came here for the living dead?"
Of course, Shen Shen couldn't guess that Qin Su found him from the Jiangnan case. From the news of the investigation, the Jiangnan case had nothing to do with him at all.
In addition, both Shen Jingyan and Empress Deren have passed away, and Emperor Yongle has been too lazy to investigate them for many years. If Twelve hadn't run up to Qin Su and said something about the living dead, Qin Su and others would have run away to suppress bandits. Blocking himself so far away in the mountains?
"The living dead are second to none. I came here mainly for Twelve. I heard that Mr. Shen and Twelve were brothers and sisters, but for the sake of the living dead, Mr. Shen killed your adoptive father and wanted to kill Twelve." , is this true?"
Qin Su talked to Shen Shen as if it was true or false, she must not tell the truth to Shen Shen, otherwise Shen Shen would have known on the spot that there was no possibility of peace talks?
When Shen Jingyan was mentioned, Shen Shen's face contorted for a moment, and then he suppressed his emotions, "His Royal Highness is really a temperamental person, and she can send troops out of personal grievances, but I think my sister must have misunderstood this matter."
"It's not a mediocre person. I just can't bear a little grievance. Naturally, the people around me can't be wronged. Mr. Shen, don't you think so?" Qin Su glanced to the side, and sure enough someone helped Twelve Come over, "Last year, because a small country in the Western Regions did not send a birthday gift to our palace, Dayong's iron hooves broke through the capital and simply included it in Dayong's territory. Does Mr. Shen know about this?"
Shen Shen forced a smile, he had heard of it, indeed there is such a small country, but what does Qin Su mean by saying this now?threaten?
"Of course, when I saw Mr. Shen today, Mr. Shen was so straightforward, it seemed that there was some discrepancy with Twelve's words. I think there may be some misunderstanding between the two of you, let alone brother and sister, what kind of hatred is there? Right, Mr. Shen?"
Qin Su withdrew his gaze, and finished the second half of the sentence as if he was panting, which made Shen Shen's heart flutter and he couldn't figure out what Qin Su wanted to do.
"Twelve, come here."
Qin Su glanced at Twelve and gave the order very naturally.
The person supporting Twelve glanced at Shen Shen hesitantly. Shen Shen couldn't make up his mind about Qin Su's idea, so he waved his hand, unable to refute Qin Su's face, and asked someone to help Twelve to Qin Su's side.
Twelve's face was pale and bloodless, and he must have been seriously injured. Sitting on a chair, he could barely open his eyes, and couldn't even speak.
Qin Su pinched Twelve's chin with his hands, raised Twelve's face, and frowned slightly, "Mr. Shen?"
"The eldest princess misunderstood. The eldest princess should have known that day. She sister accidentally broke into the trap I set up to defend against thieves, so she was injured. She sister's temperament is like this. She had some conflicts with me, so she held grudges in her heart, alas. , I also offended the eldest princess that day, please forgive me, if I knew it was all a misunderstanding, it would not be the case."
Shen Shen's gaze swung between Qin Su and Twelve several times. He wasn't sure whether Qin Su and Twelve had the relationship he thought, but at the moment, it seems that they should be close to each other.
"I see."
Qin Su nodded, "Since everything is a misunderstanding, I think it's easy to talk about it."
"Eldest Princess, does that mean you agree?" Shen Shen asked again uncertainly. For some reason, he always felt that today's peace talks went too smoothly, which made him a little uneasy.
"What is there to disagree with? Mr. Shen is arrogant, sending so many people from this palace for nothing, and it is just a misunderstanding between Mr. Shen and Twelve. How can there be any reason for this palace to disagree? In this way , everyone is happy, wouldn't it be better?"
Qin Su rested his elbow on Twelve's shoulders, as if he really did what he said, but it made Shen Shen more and more suspicious, but he couldn't find what was wrong, so he could only respond first.
"The princess is right, everyone is happy!"
"Since everyone is happy, why don't I have people prepare a table of wine and food to celebrate today's transformation of war into jade?"
Qin Su said it was a question, but he didn't give Shen Shen a chance to refuse, "Chishui, don't you want to prepare yet? Ziyun, help Twelve down to rest first. I am happy today, and I will definitely stay with Mr. Shen until I get drunk. "
Ziyun understood Qin Su's meaning, stepped forward to help Twelve, and took him away.
"Is this... appropriate?"
Shen Shen always felt a little weird.
"What's inappropriate? Or is it that Mr. Shen doesn't give Bengong this face?"
When Qin Su acted willfully and domineeringly, he acted in his true colors, completely preventing Shen Shen from seeing any flaws.
"The eldest princess misunderstood, please."
Shen Shen could only bite the bullet and agree, what's more, he felt that Qin Su would never be able to refuse in front of his generous offer, and this trick had never been successful.
But he couldn't think of it, Qin Su changed his mind two days ago, she didn't want this mountain of killing machines, what she wanted was for Ben Gong to die!
After the meal was ready, Qin Su and Shen Shen ate and chatted on the mountain. There was no one Qin Su couldn't talk to, and Shen Shen's guard was broken for a while, not to mention that the two were still on this mountain. In fact, as long as he yells, he can summon an army of tens of thousands of living dead, what else can be unexpected?
The two of them were full of wine and food, plus the previous negotiation, these two hours passed, Qin Su put down his wine glass, and a firework exploded in the sky in the distance, startling Shen Shen.
"Master Shen, I invite you to watch the fireworks."
Qin Su knew that this was the signal of success, the corner of his mouth curled up, pointed at Shen Shen's lair, and said.
Before Shen Shen could react, he looked reflexively, and saw that in the direction of Qin Su's finger, countless fireworks really exploded, almost flattening several hilltops, making his heart shattered.
"you!"
Eyes widened in disbelief, Shen Shen looked at Qin Su who was still smiling, he had never seen such a crazy person.
"Why, don't the fireworks look good?"
Qin Su snapped his fingers, and the shadow guards showed up one after another, and dealt with the people brought by Shen Shen very quickly.
It has to be said that this Shen Shen's understanding of the royal family is still too superficial, he only knows to look at the surface, but he doesn't know that the real existence lies beneath the surface.
The two shadow guards controlled Shen Shen, one left and one right, even though Shen Shen went crazy and played the chant made of bones, it was useless, and his army of nearly ten thousand living dead did not move at all.
The shadow guard took down the trumpet and pressed Shen Shen to kneel on the ground. Qin Su covered his ears, "How naive are you? Just the sound of fireworks exploding, let alone your trumpet is so far away. A suona is useless, not to mention, the thing you want to summon is probably not even a scum left now."
Shen Shen was forced to the ground, looking at Qin Su with red eyes, wishing to jump up and fight Qin Su, but Qin Su didn't care, and looked at Twelve who was helped back by Ziyun.
The resentment in Twelve Eyes was not weaker than that of Shen Shen, and she also wished to slap him alive, but unfortunately she couldn't even speak now.
Qin Su pulled out a dagger from his waist, put it into Twelve's hands, then held Twelve's hand, approached Shen Shen, and under Shen Shen's horrified gaze, cut off Shen Shen's head with the dagger, without mercy .
Seeing the blood all over his hands, Twelve couldn't believe that he had actually killed his enemy. He looked at Qin Su who was wiping the blood in disgust, his eyes turned red for a moment, and he silently said thank you, but Qin Su, who was busy wiping blood, didn't see anything.
After Shen Shen was dealt with, six hilltops were blown up. The army brought by Qin Su only needed to check whether there were any survivors, and then make up the knife. Incidentally, none of the living dead were spared. The fire burned out in the middle valley.
After all, Qin Su's creed is not to leave any trouble behind.
Everything that could be looted was cleaned up under the command of Twelve, and all the rest were destroyed. It took another five or six days.
The author has something to say:
