199 The Blood Pool of the Underground Palace
Chapter 199: The Blood Pool of the Underground Palace
There was no lighting at all in the deep stone passage, and strangely enough, the lit torch was brought into the stone passage, and it was extinguished in an instant.
Zhen Yunze and the soldiers of the Black Armor Army are both masters of practicing martial arts and being able to see at night, but the King of Gulan is congenitally weak, and he must be illuminated to enter this long and dark tunnel, so he can only turn back and take a few pebble-sized night pearls for lighting, and then move forward smoothly.
A group of people walked in the darkness for about two quarters of an hour, and there were no forks and mechanisms, but suddenly a huge stone chamber appeared, with various torture instruments and iron scorpions hanging in the four walls, and in the center of the stone chamber was a blood pool with a diameter of three zhang in size, and I don't know what was running at the bottom, so that the blood pool was still bubbling with blood bubbles, and there was a cold white mist lingering above, and a cross was set up two feet around the blood pool and was densely wound with iron, and each torture frame had dried blood stains and rotten flesh and blood.
What is terrifying is that at this moment, opposite everyone, on the other side of the blood pool, there are three small bodies tied to the torture frame defenselessly, hanging their heads and not knowing whether they are dead or alive.
Zhen Tengfeng looked at this scene as if he was in hell with a pale face, only to feel that his eyes were spinning in a trance, and his body had not yet healed, he was stimulated by such a cruel and terrifying Shura field, and fell into darkness together with the anger that had just risen, and fell softly, but fortunately, the black armor army around him supported him in time.
"King!"
Zhen Yunze was also shocked by the dazzling scene in front of him, turned his head when he heard the sound, and hurriedly ordered someone to carefully carry the emperor out of the tunnel.
The miasma here is too heavy, and if the smell of blood is not suppressed by an inexplicable cold breath, I am afraid that such a stuffy place would already have a terrible smell, this is where the queen practiced forbidden arts?
"Someone, take those three children out of the dungeon. He commanded coldly.
Qingyang led people around the strange blood pool to the opposite side, everyone first carefully checked the child's fatal wounds, and saw that the child's feet on the torture rack actually poked open a three-edged blood hole, at this moment the wound has no blood, the feet are dry and green, and the muscles of the calves have atrophied, and the soldiers can't bear to look at it anymore, so they all untied their cloaks and wrapped them up, and hugged them out of the road.
"Lord Wang, both of them are dead, and one of them still has a pulse, do you want to inform Miss Nanxing?"
Qingyang Tieqing stepped forward with a green face, his heart was angry and powerless, he didn't expect that under this gorgeous palace, there was such a miserable and inhumane hell Shura field, remembering the stunning face of the queen when he was young, and the admiration that arose spontaneously in his heart, at this moment he only wanted to stab himself who was blind.
Zhen Yunze was also in a state of flux, only to feel that it was difficult to release the anger in his body, and said coldly: "You continue to check if there are any other passages and exits here, and I will go to find her in person." ”
"Yes. ”
Nanxing Tower has been renovated and reopened since the night attack, and the surrounding shops seem to be unaware of the movement of that day, and some good people have come up to inquire why they have been closed for so many days.
Lan Ke was as strict as ever, and his innocent and harmless appearance with a smile on his face sent these gossips away.
He was holding Ah Ling's hand at the moment, teaching him to practice calligraphy one stroke at a time.
Ah Ling also practiced very seriously and focused, Lan Ke was very pleased, patted his head and said: "Practice hard, our boss and the shopkeeper's words are ugly and can't see people, and we will rely on the two of us to grow their faces for them in the future!"
"Phew!" Yuan Ziyue suddenly appeared at the gate, walked in quickly, and glared at him with a pretty face that was red from the scorching sun: "You dare to make up bad things about me and Ah Xue in front of my brother!"
Lan Ke looked behind Yuan Ziyue and said in surprise: "Hey, His Royal Highness King Rui, are you here to have lunch?"
Facing the people who had no respect and humility rules from top to bottom in Nanxing Tower, several black-armored guards who often followed King Rui in and out of Nanxing Tower were accustomed to it, and they stared at the two teenagers silently, guarding the door of Nanxing Tower with solemn expressions.
And Zhen Yunze ignored Lan Ke's quip, he crossed Yuan Ziyue and walked towards the backyard.
He had already changed out of the dark brocade robe, and at this moment, he was wearing a white wide-sleeved robe stained with ink, but he still couldn't dispel the blood-colored haze churning in his heart, and the end of his nose seemed to be haunting the indescribable bloody aura in the pool of blood.
With a sweep of his eyes, he saw a slender black figure in the medicine furnace with his back to him, bending over and beating something, and the tense strings in his heart loosened, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace and walked towards her.
You Xue had already heard the footsteps outside the house, she straightened up and turned around to see who was so angry, and suddenly she was caught off guard and hugged with her arms.
You Xue helplessly held the tool for grinding medicine in both hands, "Zhen Yunze, don't take an inch, let's see what I'm holding in my hand first!"
Zhen Yunze didn't care about her tone of lust, he just wanted to hug her at the moment, burying his head in her hair and smelling the familiar fragrance of medicine, only to feel that in the soft and fragrant fragrance at this moment, the bloody aura that filled his heart began to gradually dissipate.
You Xue also felt that this tall body was trembling a little, what was going on?
She raised the medicine mill in her hand and knocked him on the back very unceremoniously, "Let go of me and speak well." ”
"Ah Xue, when I calm down the chaos and triumph, let's get married, Brother Wang will personally give us a marriage!" He stubbornly refused to let go, and when he said this, he seemed to be afraid that she would refuse, and he tightened his grip on her.
You Xue's head was against his broad chest, and the violently beating heart clearly came into his ears, revealing the apprehension and nervousness in the man's heart at the moment.
You Xue's hands froze in the air for a moment, and with a sigh, she gently tapped his back with the medicine mill again, "Yes, it's time for you to get married, you're so old, you don't even have a bed warmer!" she smiled lightly as she spoke.
Finally let go of her embrace, Zhen Yunze let go of her, took off the tools in her hand, took her hand, and looked at her for a moment with a pair of peach blossom eyes, so affectionate and gentle, happy and apprehensive, "Ah Xue, you... Did you say yes?"
You Xue shook her head, "Zhen Yunze," she held his hand instead, took off the black veil covering her face with one hand, and looked at him without a trace of discoloration before covering his palm on her face, and said seriously: "Zhen Yunze, you can see clearly, I am not Ah Xue, your Ah Xue is dead." And I don't have a love for you, and it's impossible for me to marry you!"
Zhen Yunze's eyes moved slightly, and his other hand slowly stroked her face, and between the four eyes, he suddenly leaned over and kissed her lip, not like the dragonfly of that day, this time it was extremely tender.
You Xue stiffened, immediately came back to her senses, and tilted her head back suddenly, but he reached out and gently clasped her in his arms, and tightly hugged her waist to prevent her from breaking free.
"Zhen Yunze, every time it's like this, we can't talk as well as before?"
Zhen Yunze smiled a little happily: "It's you who push me away with such strange words every time, but I can't do anything about you, so I can only offend." ”
You Xue was so angry that she gritted her teeth, and she didn't know when it started, but this person began to play scoundrels to her more and more highly, and said hatefully: "Okay, then let's sit down and have a good talk." ”
"Then you agreed?" Yun Ze lowered his head to look at her, stretched out his hand to smooth the silver threads that had been rubbed for her, and the angular handsome face had a deep smile.
You Xue was not confused by the beauty this time, and immediately retreated, turned her back to the medicine cabinet and said: "What I said is very clear, I have no love for you between men and women." ”
Zhen Yunze's face didn't change, he still smiled softly, and said softly: "Okay, I know." ”
You Xue looked at his expression suspiciously, and said suspiciously: "... Then I'll treat it as if it didn't happen today, so I won't be an example!"
"Good. Zhen Yunze took a few steps forward and stretched out his hand to her, "Follow me into the palace first, there is something." ”
