Chapter 139: Fairy
The city tower of Liangzhou City.
The lights are on.
The governor of Liangzhou City, dressed in red, stood on the top of the north city gate, looking at the Dagan army not far away.
"You must not slack off in your guard, in case the enemy attacks in the middle of the night!"
Governor Zhang instructed the garrison soldiers guarding the city walls.
"Yes, sir!"
Everyone responded in unison, perking up and looking at the bonfire not far away.
Outside Liangzhou City.
General Li Changqing was gazing at the Liangzhou city wall.
Deputy General Zhao Yong stepped forward and asked softly, "General, when do we start?"
"Don't panic, just wait for the signal! In three days, I will take over Liangzhou City without a single soldier!"
Li Changqing put his hands behind his back, looking confident.
"General, are you saying that we have already infiltrated Liangzhou City?"
Zhao Yong suddenly understood. "Then I'll give the order to the generals to rest here and wait for the order to attack the city!"
"Yeah! Yes."
Li Changqing nodded, still looking at the city wall not far away.
After a night of travel, Qiao Qiqi and the others finally arrived ten miles south of Liangzhou City.
Qiao Qiqi, who was sitting in front of Pei Shaoling, looked at the Liangzhou city gate from afar.
"Then Da Gan's team should be at another city gate, right? But Liangzhou City is probably heavily guarded right now. How are we going to get in?"
Qiao Qiqi asked Pei Shaoling behind her in a low voice.
"It's impossible to enter openly, so we can take a shortcut!"
A pleasant voice sounded in Qiao Qiqi's ears.
"Shortcut? Are you saying there's a passage leading out of Liangzhou City?"
There was a hint of interest in Qiao Qiqi's eyes.
"Well, Liangzhou City was the capital before Dagan and Dayong split into two countries! Therefore, Liangzhou City not only has a passage leading to the outside of the city, but also an underground palace."
Pei Shaoling said softly, "I stumbled upon this incident while reading an unofficial history book! Dayong and Dagan have been divided for hundreds of years, and the history books about the previous dynasty were burned, so basically no one knows about this!"
"Where is the passage outside the city?"
Qiao Qiqi looked around and asked.
"Don't worry. It's been hundreds of years. The landscape has changed a lot. I need to look for it."
Pei Shaoling put his arms around Qiao Qiqi's waist, held the reins and let the horse stroll around.
After a long time, he finally stopped in front of a forest in the southwest corner of Liangzhou City.
"Let's go, let's go in and find a thousand-year-old banyan tree!"
Pei Shaoling turned over and got off the horse, and took Qiao Qiqi down with him, and said to her and An Lei.
"Owner, this forest is so big, should we split up and search?"
Seeing that the sky was getting brighter, An Lei was worried about being discovered, so he hurriedly spoke.
"It's okay, we'll go together! Judging from the traces here, few people have come here. It's so big in there, there might be a lot of ferocious beasts. It's better not to separate."
Pei Shaoling looked at Lin Zi and said lightly.
"A vicious beast? Is it a wolf, tiger, leopard, or something like that?"
Qiao Qiqi looked at Lin Zi and asked softly.
"Yes, that's true!" Pei Shaoling nodded.
Qiao Qiqi shook her head. "I don't think there are any ferocious beasts in this forest. Did you see that? There's a light pink miasma filling the air!"
She pointed to the forest ahead and spoke to Pei Shaoling and An Lei.
Pei Shaoling took a closer look and found that there was indeed a faint gas.
It is very light and difficult to notice if you are not careful.
"What kind of miasma is this? It seems poisonous?"
An Lei looked at the forest, then turned to look at Qiao Qiqi and Pei Shaoling.
Qiao Qiqi frowned slightly and tried to get closer to the forest!
The closer you get to the woods, the more you can smell a sweet fragrance.
"This must be the poisonous gas emitted by some plant, which is why it has this color. And do you smell a faint sweet fragrance?"
As the saying goes, the more deceptive something is, the more poisonous it is!
She recalled the medical book that Old Ruan had given her. "I remember now. Old Ruan's book mentioned a brightly colored flower called the Fairy Flower. It emits a pink gas that has hallucinogenic properties, similar to that of Datura."
"Tianxianzi? When did something like this appear in Dayong?"
Pei Shaoling looked at the forest. "There are two ways now. One is to enter through the city gate. However, with the current state of alert, it will be easy to be discovered! The other is to find the big banyan tree in this forest and enter Liangzhou City through the secret passage. What do you think?"
"Master, I think we should enter through this forest! Before we set out, Mr. Ruan gave me a lot of detoxification pills, which will come in handy."
An Lei scratched his head and said while looking at the two of them.
"Ma'am, what do you think?"
Pei Shaoling asked for Qiao Qiqi's opinion again.
"I think so. To be on the safe side, I think I can wear this too!"
Qiao Qiqi took out three N95 masks from her sleeve (actually from the supermarket space).
"Wearing this will give you an extra layer of protection."
Qiao Qiqi didn’t know if this thing could withstand the poisonous gas, but after three years of national seclusion, it’s better to wear it than not, right?
"good."
Pei Shaoling looked at what was in Qiao Qiqi's hand and nodded slightly.
Qiao Qiqi put the other two N95s in their hands and taught them how to put them on.
An Lei also took out a jade bottle from his arms, poured out a pill and swallowed it, then handed it to Qiao Qiqi.
Qiao Qiqi poured out a pill from it, took off the N95 on her face, and swallowed it.
Pei Shaoling took the jade bottle from Qiao Qiqi's hand and took one as well.
"In that case, let's go into the woods!"
The three of them looked at each other and walked into the woods.
really!
Not long after entering the forest, the three of them saw bunches of lush pink flowers.
Now the three of them have no time to investigate where this "Fairy" came from. They need to find the big banyan tree as soon as possible.
Qiao Qiqi let Pei Shaoling hold her hand and walked forward cautiously.
"There seems to be no living creatures in this forest. It's so quiet!"
Through the N95, Qiao Qiqi spoke softly.
"Well, it's probably the work of this fairy. Those animals are very sensitive to danger. No animal can survive for long in such a dangerous place."
Pei Shaoling explained softly.
At this time!
An Lei, who was walking ahead to explore the way, suddenly made a surprised sound, "Huh?"
"What's wrong?"
Pei Shaoling looked forward and asked.
"OP, there are so many tombstones here!"
An Lei moved sideways, allowing Qiao Qiqi and Pei Shaoling to see the scene ahead clearly!
The forest was densely populated with tombstones standing everywhere, each engraved with characters that Qiao Qiqi didn't recognize.
Faint morning light, dark forest, and eerie tombstones.
Qiao Qiqi couldn't help but gasp and got goosebumps.
"Why are there so many tombstones in this forest?"
Qiao Qiqi subconsciously grabbed Pei Shaoling's slender hand and asked.
