Chapter 894 Mediation
"Li, what do you think?" Ram bowed slightly, and there was a hint of temptation in his eyes, "Given your disadvantage at the moment, you can choose to leave a hostage." ”
Li Qing grinned: "I don't know what good this is for me. ”
Ram chuckled and bent down and felt on the stone floor: "Someone has opened the sluice gate under the sinkhole, and the water from the underground river is pouring in. We don't know exactly how high it is from the water level, and it may not be long before it will be flooded. Li, we don't have much time, the ancient building of the town is in disrepair, even if it is not submerged, with such heavy humidity now, there is a risk of collapsing at any time. ”
Li Qing turned his head and looked at Xie Yuyan with a stunned expression, and now he finally understood why Xie Yuyan rejected his proposal to escape from the organ room.
Deng Shi also looked incredulous: "This sinkhole is even connected to the underground river?"
"Hahahaha, hahahaha. Several old men in the team laughed in unison for a moment, trembling with excitement, "Yellow Spring Water! This is Yellow Spring Water!
"Huangquan, your sister. Li Qing rolled her eyes angrily and muttered at the corners of her mouth. It is estimated that this is also a big move to guard against outsiders, and today Gu Yue opened the floodgates, clearly to trap everyone here.
"Li, haven't you thought it through?" there was a hint of urgency in Ram's voice, and he didn't know if he was deliberately passing on the pressure to Li Qing, or if he was already manic in his heart, "Whether you have faith or believe in the gods, since you have arrived here, you are here to keep the secret of the Ancient Mansion of the Zhenfan." Only when all parties take a step back and climb to the top of the ancient building together can the mystery be revealed. ”
Li Qing stared at Ram's sincere appearance and almost laughed. Whether it is Zhao Qili or Ram, there is no doubt that they are here for the secret of the ancient building. But Li Qing was the only one, he and Xie Yuyan brought these people into the ancient building regardless of life and death, just to take revenge.
And now among the three parties, only Li Qing's side already knows that this is a suspicious tomb, and there will be no secrets to speak of.
But even so, Li Qing was still in a rather awkward position. He originally took the absolute initiative in this incident, but now he knows that the real culprit behind the murder of his parents is Zhao Qili, but he is subject to objective conditions and cannot take revenge at all. If it weren't for the help of external forces, the more than 20 people who joined forces with Li Qing and Xie Yuyan would not be able to eat so many masters present.
At the same time, Gu Yue, who had never appeared, was also like a sharp sword hanging above his head, making Li Qing restrain his hands and feet, and his heart was like numbness.
In this ancient building, Li Qing is a predator, but the prey he covets is too powerful, and he is not at the top of the food chain. Gu Yue is the real ruler of this ancient building, if she doesn't miss the old feelings, she will easily kill Li Qing.
Li Qing looked at Xie Yuyan, then at Master Deng, and nodded at him: "Come to me." ”
With a gentle sigh, Deng Shi slowly put away the gun, retreated step by step, and finally turned around and walked to Li Qing's side. After Master Deng left the golden silk nan wooden coffin, Li Qing could clearly feel that the tense atmosphere in the main hall had suddenly eased a lot.
The obese old man waved his hand, and nearly a hundred pistols aimed at Li Qing and the others around him all fell down.
Li Qing said in a deep voice: "I want to keep Zhao Qili as a hostage." ”
Between Lao Fang and Zhao Qili, Li Qing directly chose the latter. After all, in his opinion, the middle-aged man surnamed Fang is just a waste, and Zhao Qili's value is obviously greater.
"Yes, let Xiao Fang go. The obese old man pointed at the middle-aged man surnamed Fang in Hu Feng's hand above.
"Yes. Li Qing nodded, "I'll go up to the top floor first, and after I arrive, I'll let go of Yuyan and your people at the same time, and I'll only leave Zhao Qili with his life to save his life." ”
The old men discussed with each other for a while, and then nodded in agreement.
Li Qing pulled out the dagger that was stuck in the corner of Zhao Qili's mouth, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "How many times have you been a prisoner?"
"Ahem, ahem..."Zhao Qili coughed violently, "For the first time..."
"Let's go, we should all do something decent, so I'm not going to tie you up. Li Qing grabbed Zhao Qili's clothes and lifted him up, waving his hand at the top floor, "Throw the rope down, let's go up." ”
Li Qing took Zhao Qili first, pulled the rope, stepped on the broken jade steps, and climbed to the top floor. After that, the wooden coffin of Jin Si Nan was also hung up by ropes, and then the others arrived at the eighth floor of the ancient building in turn.
"You seem to be more loyal to him. Ram stared at Li Qing's figure upstairs and whispered to Master Deng on the side, "If there is another chance, we will not let you live after disbanding the Blood Skeleton." ”
"There is no regret medicine in the world, and if you say such things now, I will only take it as a declaration of war. Master Deng stood up from the ground, the hand that had just been pressed on the ground was already stained with a thick layer of water, he glanced at Ram lightly, turned and walked towards the rope leading to the eighth layer, "If you are still alive after this incident, wait for us in Europe." ”
"Don't you die? Ram smiled and nodded, then replied in a foreign language: "If you are still alive after this incident, I will wait for you in Europe." ”
Deng Shi pulled the rope, climbed directly to the top floor of the ancient building, and fell steadily to the ground as soon as he turned over. He approached Li Qing in a few steps, lowered his voice and said, "The water has already overflowed, if this is below the level of the underground river, at most two hours, the seventh layer will be flooded." ”
The corner of Li Qing's mouth tugged slightly: "Gu Yue, are you planning to feed us fish?" ”
"Don't forget, there are a bunch of ghosts outside this ancient building who don't know their origins. ”
Deng Shi raised his hand and pointed upward, Li Qing instantly understood, and nodded lightly at the moment. Turning around, Li Qing looked at Huo Yi: "Let go of the rain and smoke." ”
"Put it together. Huo Yi stared at Hu Feng on the other side, "Three, two, one, release people!"
After the last number fell, Hu Feng and Huo Yi both pulled back together. Li Qing immediately reached out and grabbed Xie Yuyan's jade wrist and pulled her to his side.
"Eventful gringos. Xie Yuyan rolled his eyes and pursed his lips a little dissatisfied.
Li Qing glanced at Xie Yuyan lightly: "Are you okay?"
"What can I do? a one-handed cripple. Xie Yuyan said casually, "But if you are careless in making friends, it is worth reviewing." ”
Li Qing knew that Xie Yuyan was suppressing a burst of anger, and this woman originally planned to block everyone on the seventh floor of the ancient building, in order to lure Gu Yue to appear.
If everyone present did not reach the top floor, Gu Yue would have no way to do it, and there would be room for relaxation. Unexpectedly, Ram ran out and inserted a bar, forcing everyone to gather on the eighth floor at this moment.
When he reached the top floor of the ancient building, he really entered the territory of Gu Yue, and he could only be slaughtered by the ancient gate here.
The two groups of old men and Ram were naturally happy, but Li Qing and Xie Yuyan were gloomy. Things have developed to this point, if Gu Yue's big move that Gu Yue has been holding back for a long time is suddenly released, even they will have to be buried together.
"Go inside first and act on the opportunity. Li Qing pinched Xie Yuyan's white and soft jade hand and said in a low voice. He suddenly remembered that Gu Yue had mentioned that Xie Yuyan was pregnant, and his gaze couldn't help but skim lightly on her flat lower abdomen, and his gaze was soft.
"What are you looking at?" Xie Yuyan's eyebrows narrowed slightly, and his expression was quite vigilant.
Li Qinggan laughed and shook his head. This was not the time to talk about such a thing, so he had to be patient and keep the threads down.
"Huh?" Li Qing tilted his head and saw that the old men who had just climbed up were gathering together and whispering, and they secretly glanced at Ram from time to time, as if they were discussing something.
After thinking about it for a while, Li Qing understood, and immediately handed over Zhao Qili to Hu Feng, and then opened his throat and shouted below: "Ram, if you don't come up again, I'm afraid you won't have a chance." ”
As soon as these words came out, almost everyone present was embarrassed. Obviously, those old men planned to take advantage of this opportunity to hack Ram, but Li Qing saw through it at a glance and hung it directly in front of everyone.
Although Li Qing and Ram are also life and death rivals, it is better not to break this delicate balance at present. Who knows if those old guys will throw a rat trap and give up Zhao Qili's life to attack Li Qing and his party.
Ram was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Li, you are very smart, I like to deal with smart people." ”
After saying that, Ram beckoned, and climbed to the top floor of the ancient building with more than 30 of his subordinates.
The flames in the bronze tripod were raging, and after Zhao Qili and his party came in, because they were afraid that Xie Yuyan would do something on the top floor in advance, they set all the anointing oil on fire, making the hall bright.
Ram finally led people to follow, and the three people were distributed in three directions of the main hall, eyeing each other.
Caiyun's body has been leaning against the stone wall, her eyes slightly closed. After Master Deng came up, he touched her forehead, and then shook his head at Li Qing: "It's burning badly, you have to send her out quickly." ”
"Hmm. Li Qing nodded, his eyes scanned all directions, and found that after the old guys on the opposite side arrived at the top floor, they seemed to be a little disappointed here, and immediately smiled: "Everyone, how do you feel?
No one responded to Li Qing, and there was silence all around.
Ram circled around the bronze coffin in the center of the stone hall for a long time, then turned around and smiled: "Anyway, we have to open the coffin to find out, right?"
