Startled and angry, Zhang threw the donkey's tail at the Muslim who caught it easilyZhang leapt off his horse and faced him"Who are you?" he shouted"Come on! I'll fight you The Muslim placed Zhang's cap on the donkey's head and clapped his hands in delight"The dumb donkey wearing an official's hat!" he excalimedHe twitched his thighs and the donkey trotted offZhang began to run after him, but stopped as a projectile flew towards himHe caught the cold, glittering object deftly and with a surge of fury, recognised it as the sapphire off the front of his capBy now, the donkey was already a long way away, but he picked a stone off the ground and hurled it at the Muslim's backThe Muslim made no effort to avoid it, and Zhang was delighted, certain that this time he had himThere was a loud clang as the stone hit something metallic, and the Muslim cried out in despair "Oh no! He's killed my saucepan! It's dead cartier pasha for certain!" The four men looked at each other dumb-founded as the Muslim and his donkey disappeared into the distance "Was that a man or a demon?" Zhang asked finallyThe Three Devils silently shook their headsThis place is evil beyond belief They galloped off, and early the next morning, they arrived outside the Secret CityThe paths were many and confusing, but the trail of wolf droppings was a perfect guide which brought them unerringly to the base of the White Jade PeakLooking up, they saw the cave-mouth that Chen had excavated -- ** 2 ** Chen woke towards midnight, his strength revivedUnder the light of a moonbeam shining down from the crack in the roof of the cave, he could see Huo Qingtong and Princess Fragrance leaning against one another on one of the jade seats, fast asleepIn the silence, he heard their breathing and smelt the fragrance, even more beautiful than that of fresh flowers or balenciaga motorcycle bag musk, emanating from the younger sister He wondered again what the wolves outside the mountain were doing and whether the three of them would ever be able to escapeAnd if they did, would his brother the Emperor hold to his word and throw out the Manchus? "Which one do I really love?" Over the past few days, this thought had been gyrating round his brain continuously"Well, which one really loves me? If I were to die, Princess Fragrance would not be able to go on living, but Huo Qingtong wouldBut that doesn't mean Princess Fragrance loves me more The moon beam slowly shifted onto Huo Qingtong's face "Princess Fragrance and I have declared our love for each other, but although Huo Qingtong has never said a word about it, her feelings towards me are clear too," he thought"And why did I come so far to give her a message if it was not because I loved her? What is more, restoring the throne to the Chinese tiffany co jewellery people will involve immense trials and tribulationsShe is a better strategist even than Brother Xu, and her assistance would be invaluable," He stopped himself, ashamed of his own thoughts "Ah, Chen Jialuo," he whispered under his breath"Are you really so narrow-minded?" Time passed and the moonbeam moved across onto Princess Fragrance "With her, all I would have is happiness, happiness, happiness," he thought His eyes opened wide and he stared up at the crack of light in the rock high above them for a long, long timeSlowly, the moonlight faded and a sunbeam began to slant in, filling the room with daylightWith a yawn, Princes Fragrance wokeShe looked over at him through half-open eyes and smiled, her face looking like a newly-opened flower Suddenly she jerked upright"Listen!" she whispered Footsteps sounded distantly from the tunnel, gradually moving closerIn the silence of the old caverns, each step could mulberry style bags be heard clearly, and their skin crawled as they listenedChen shook Huo Qingtong's arm to wake her and the three ran quickly back down the tunnel When they reached the main chamber, Chen picked up three jade swords and gave one each to the two sisters"Jade wards off evil," he whispered By now, the footsteps were just outside the chamber, and the three hid in a corner near the entrance, not daring to moveThey saw the flickering light of torches and four men walked inThe two in front, they instantly recognised as Zhang and Gu There was a series of clanging sounds as the weapons of the four flew out of their hands to the groundChen knew this was an opportunity not to be missed, and as they stood staring at the floor in dumb surprise, he gave a shout and leapt out, and with knocked the torches to the ground, plunging the chamber into complete darknessZhang and the Three Devils turned and raced back down the gucci twirl ladies watch tunne
