Chapter 171 Where is the hot spring you promised me?
really......
Xuanyuan Che's eyes darkened, and he rubbed his fingers gently in his sleeves, feeling a little itchy in his throat.
His Adam's apple moved slightly, and a faint red appeared at the corners of his eyes for some reason.
He let out a muffled groan, and his internal strength was already faintly activated.
Mei Susu felt the temperature in the car suddenly drop, and she involuntarily turned her head to look at Xuanyuan Che.
When she saw the red corners of his eyes, she was stunned for a moment, then rolled her eyes.
Please, it was she who was bleeding heavily, not him, but he was getting angry.
She should be the one with red eyes.
It is said that lust is a sword hanging over one's head, and it is indeed true. Xuanyuan Che, this cunning fox, knows how to find her weak spot.
But who told her to lust after his body? This temptation was really irresistible.
The carriage was moving quite fast, and Xuanyuan Che had to go through a lot of trouble to suppress his restless desire.
If this continues, he doesn't know how long he can endure.
The carriage left the capital and headed towards the mountains.
After a short while, we passed through the quiet bamboo forest and arrived at the foot of a mountain.
There is a thatched house at the foot of the mountain, with a waterfall cascading down behind it.
As soon as Mei Susu got off the carriage with Xuanyuan Che, she smelled the fishy smell of water.
There is also the deafening sound of the roaring waterfall.
The scenery here is quite similar to the priest's residence last time.
There are also bamboo forests, small houses, winding paths and pleasant scenery.
The only difference is that one is a river and the other is a waterfall.
Xuanyuan Che carried Mei Susu into the thatched hut. The hut was very clean, but empty.
Just when Mei Susu was wondering what Xuanyuan Che was going to do, Zhuiying stepped twice in the corner of the room. With a "click", the floor in the room slowly opened.
Another agency.
It is said that the wisdom of the ancients is infinite. She used to be skeptical, but now she believes it.
After all, digging a secret passage underground must not be visible from the ground, which would take some effort even with modern technology.
At this time, there is no high-tech equipment to help, and all we have to rely on is the ingenuity and wisdom of the craftsmen.
I have to admire it.
As soon as the tunnel was opened, a heat wave surged up from underground, so hot that the air became dry.
At first, Mei Susu was excited and thought it was a hot spring. It must be the heat wave from the hot spring.
But when Xuanyuan Che carried her into the tunnel, Mei Susu felt something was wrong.
No matter how hot a hot spring is, it is made of water, and there must be water vapor in the heat wave.
However, this heat wave was unusually dry. Not only was there no moisture at all, but there was also a faint smell of rust.
She suddenly had a bad feeling and shrank into Xuanyuan Che's arms.
"Su Su is scared?" Xuanyuan Che lowered his head and smiled.
Mei Susu drooped her ears and looked back at him with her round pupils wide open. Her silence was louder than words; she was indeed a little scared.
She will never forget the scene she saw in the "green-faced and fang-toothed" hall when she first became Su Su.
Xuanyuan Che just hung those people on the hooks. The bloody scene would have been unimaginable if Mei Susu hadn't watched too many horror movies before and had a high level of ideological awareness.
Otherwise, it will cause indelible psychological trauma.
This was the smell in the temple at that time.
The smell of rust.
It is actually the smell of blood. This smell is produced when too many people die.
Xuanyuan Che patted her little butt. The little girl was quite sensitive.
The heavy stone door opened with a "boom" as Xuanyuan Che approached.
What came into view was a scene that Mei Susu would never forget.
A "gold mountain" is not gold, it's fire!
The entire mountain was dug into steps, and on each step there were countless flames dancing.
Tall and strong men with bare chests were hitting the red-hot iron with huge hammers.
With their strong hammering, in just a few moments, a red-hot iron in the shape of a long sword was thrown into the water. As the water in the pool bubbled with a "sizzle", a sharp sword was cast.
In the middle of the cave, there is a huge pool, and in the water are countless weapons and sharp blades.
This is a huge "arsenal" where Xuanyuan Che actually secretly forged weapons!
The heat was scorching and sparks were flying. Xuanyuan Che covered Mei Susu under his wide brocade sleeves and secretly channeled his internal energy to shield her from the scorching heat.
Mei Susu noticed something, she hooked her little claws on Xuanyuan Che's clothes and moved closer to his arms.
She thought the smell of rust was blood, but unexpectedly it was the smell of real iron.
No, isn't it a hot spring bath?
What about hot springs?
What are you doing here?
"Master." A sturdy, dark-skinned man strode forward, clasped his fists and bowed, then turned sideways: "The person is over here."
Xuanyuan Che followed the big man to the stone gate. After passing through the stone gate, there was a small cave that was not very spacious but very tidy.
Judging from the furnishings, it should be a place similar to a conference room.
There are long tables and long chairs, so it is no problem to seat more than a hundred people.
A woman with a broken arm was standing in the middle of the room. She turned around quickly after hearing the sound.
Then she strode forward, put one hand on her shoulder, knelt on one knee, bowed her head and saluted respectfully to Xuanyuan Che: "I, Liao Ying, greet your Highness."
"Get up." Xuanyuan Che sat on the stone bench and winked at Zhuiying.
Zhuiying immediately stepped forward and asked Liao Ying to take a seat.
Liao Ying had been hanging out with men since he was a child and had been a bandit for so many years, so he was not one to care about small matters. He thanked him and stood up and sat down.
"How is it?" Xuanyuan Che held Mei Susu in one hand and held the teacup in the other hand and sipped it.
Liao Ying hurriedly said, "Thank you for your trust in me. I will do my best to design a hidden weapon for you that is easy to carry and can kill people without leaving any trace."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xuanyuan Che smiled, put down the teacup and looked at her: "I'm asking you, how is your brother?"
Liao Ying's body stiffened when he heard this, and he smiled awkwardly: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. My little brother has improved."
Liao Ying stood up and knelt, kowtowed three times to Xuanyuan Che: "Liao Ying thanks His Highness for helping me and giving me medicine to save my brother's life. From now on, Liao Ying's life belongs to His Highness, and I will be at your disposal at any time."
Zhuiying stepped forward and said with a smile: "Miss Liao, stand up and talk."
Liao Ying wiped her tears, stood up and sat down again.
"Miss Liao and I are helping each other and benefiting each other. I helped your brother regain his life, and you helped me capture Longwu Village and work for me. It's a win-win situation. There's no need to be so polite."
Although Xuanyuan Che had a smile on his face, his eyes were cold.
"But I do have something I need Miss Liao's help with."
Liao Ying quickly said, "Your Highness, please speak."
"Although your Longwu Village has submitted to me, it is a mixed bag, with many people who cannot be trusted. I need you to find out those who are disloyal within three days. Once you have cleared them out, I will send my people into your Longwu Village."
"After a while, someone will come to your Longwu Village and ask you to submit to him. I want you to agree, blend in with him, and gain his trust."
After listening to this, Liao Ying lowered his head and thought for a while, then nodded with an unusually firm look in his eyes: "Your Highness, rest assured, Liao Ying will definitely live up to your expectations."
Xuanyuan Che hummed lightly.
Zhuiying stepped forward and took out a brocade box from his bosom and placed it on the table in front of Liao Ying: "Miss Liao, this is the herb that His Highness found for your brother. If you take it according to this prescription, it will have a miraculous effect on your brother's injury."
Looking at the precious herbs in the brocade box, Liao Ying's eyes immediately turned red. She knelt down again in gratitude and then was sent out of the cave through Zhuiying.
