"Don't go to the prince first... Isn't he your ally?"

"Don't rush yet... We just robbed the case vault and kept a low profile for a while, and then we went to find the prince when the limelight passed... He has not had a good life in the past few years, and he doesn't know his attitude now. ”

Wuji picked up the grass in front of him and took Lin Xiuyuan to carefully avoid the sight of the guards on the city wall.

"The information you want about the national teacher is only a few days, and the prince will send it to us. ”

"That's a good feeling. Lin Xiuyuan rubbed his hands together, and he was very excited. The first task is finally complete. ’

Leaning close to the wall and looking up, Lin Xiuyuan turned his head to look at Wuji.

"How do we get into the city? dig a hole or climb over a wall?"

"No need to do that, follow me. ”

Under the cover of the moonlight, Lin Xiuyuan followed Wuji and groped forward against the city wall, avoiding the sight of the soldiers defending the city.

"Next, we must be vigilant at all times, three years is not a short time, I don't know how much the ability of the national teacher has improved, we must be ready to break through at any time, and the soldiers in the north of the city will not stop us. ”

"Hehe, this complex environment is my home turf. When the time comes, I'll knock you out of the city and see how they chase after us. ”

Lin Xiuyuan touched the city wall on his side and patted it gently.

"This thickness doesn't stop me. ”

"Your injuries healed?"

"What kind of injury is this, just with that kind of parallel trade master, if it weren't for my own carelessness, he wouldn't even be able to break my skin. ”

"yes... Could it be that he was carrying a divine weapon, or was it some other crooked way? I think your injuries just now don't seem to be light. ”

Wuji frowned slightly and looked back at Lin Xiuyuan, but the latter's whole body was tightly wrapped in tights, and no skin was exposed.

Facing Wuji's gaze, Lin Xiuyuan looked puzzled.

"Wuji, do you have a wrong understanding of my physical body? It's not like you haven't tried it last month, how can that kind of person hurt me so much... It's too dark, you read it wrong. ”

"And even if you have a layer of skin on your face, it's not a big deal... This was still my carelessness at the time, and I was injured by his sneak attack. ”

"That's probably what I read wrong. Wuji quietly withdrew his gaze, didn't say much, and continued to lead the way.

'Scratched skin on the face?careless sneak attack?... No, I remember he was lying on the bank of the river, his skin was a little dry and cracked, this..."

Wuji didn't speak again, concentrating on leading the way, he felt that this matter was a little weird and had to be considered in the long run.

'I hope Jiu Niang is still there. ’

......

"Luckily, after all these years, this hole is still usable. ”

Wuji took Lin Xiuyuan to the corner of a city wall, and pushed aside the bushes, revealing a city wall that was slightly different from the surrounding color.

"You wait a minute, I'll go to the front to explore the way, I don't know if Jiuniang is safe or not, I can't guarantee that this place has not been discovered by the national teacher. ”

"No, let's go together. Lin Xiuyuan grabbed Wuji's forearm.

"Let's start with it, I'm not pretentious. The main thing is that you are too brittle, and if someone sneaks up and seriously injures you, it will not be easy to do. I walked in front, with thick skin and flesh, and no one could hurt me at once. ”

After pondering for a while, Wuji felt that what Lin Xiuyuan said had some truth, and in terms of resisting beating, he was not as solid as the latter.

"Okay, you go ahead, don't be careless when you get in. ”

When two people are together, they can avoid being broken one by one, and it is easy to do whether they are walking or fighting.

"Remember to bring the jade plate you are given, and pay more attention after entering the city. ”

"Got it, when did you talk so much. ”

Lin Xiuyuan took out a jade plaque from his arms and shook it in front of Wuji's eyes, allowing the latter to watch him put the jade plaque back in place.

"Is your method really reliable? A jade plaque carved by yourself can shield the national teacher?"

"That's not a mess. ”

"Isn't it a mess, then tell me what the words are on it. ”

Wuji was speechless for a while, he really didn't know what words were engraved on the jade plate, their entire organization was carved according to the original carving, and no one knew what those words meant.

"This is your lesson learned, and I don't think it's reliable. ”

Lin Xiuyuan touched his chest, felt the outline of the jade plate under his clothes, and pursed his mouth.

Mowgli doesn't know anything about it here, but only knows how to use it. He didn't understand the principle at all, and he was suspicious.

I feel that the last time I saw Lu Jianshen, he was more reliable than him, at least most of these things came from the former.

Whether it's a jade plaque or a wooden sword.

"Anyway, there is no other way, at least this method has been used before, and it works very well. ”

"Okay, okay, then I'm open?"

"Let's go. ”

Lin Xiuyuan stepped forward and grabbed the stone slab and lifted it open, revealing a deep tunnel.

"Let's go. ”

The two of them walked into the tunnel one after the other, and Mowgli carefully reset the slate. Both of the five senses are opened to the maximum, and they are ready to guard against emergencies at any time.

As we went deeper, the walls of the tunnel gradually became damp, and the rock wall above my head was seeping with water, and from time to time water droplets fell to the bottom of the tunnel, making a ticking sound.

In the corners around the dark passage, there were some rustling sounds, like insects and snakes, flowing against the rock wall.

After walking for about half a burnt incense, Lin Xiuyuan stopped.

"Where's the road? I'm not wrong, there's only one way. ”

"You stand back, let me do it below" Wuji patted Lin Xiuyuan's shoulder and motioned for the latter to get out of the way.

Exhaling a breath of turbid air, the true air in his body swirled, ready to retreat at any time.

The left hand was behind him, quietly sealed, and the other hand was stretched out, and he knocked two or three times on the rock wall according to a certain rhythm.

"Knock, knock..."After a few muffled sounds, the silence fell into the dark passage again.

"Is there still an accident?" Wuji licked his lips, holding the hilt of the sword with his right hand, his ears erected, carefully discerning the movement behind the stone wall.

"Someone is coming. Lin Xiuyuan was the first to notice the movement and reminded Wuji.

"There was only a heartbeat for two people... There should be no ambush. ”

"yes... Or be prepared. ”

"Hmm. ”

The two didn't say anything more, and looked quietly at the stone wall, ready to improvise.

"Mowgli, is that you?" an ethereal female voice came from behind the stone wall, mixed with irrepressible anxiety.

"It's me, Jiu Niang. Hearing this familiar voice, Wuji breathed a sigh of relief, let go of the seal in his hand, the hilt of the sword, and responded with a smile.

He was very happy that his friend from the back then was finally alive.

"You're alive... Great, I'll open the door for you, right away. Before the words fell, there was a muffled sound of stones colliding from behind the stone wall.

"Jiuniang is slow. A hand grabbed Jiu Niang's wrist and prevented her from moving further.

He stood behind Jiu Niang, stretched out his hand to hold Jiu Niang, and stepped forward to drag Jiu Niang behind him. With a press of his right hand, the gears on the stone wall in front of him returned to their places.

"Mowgli, who is the person next to you, why did you bring a stranger to our stronghold?"

"Is there anyone else? Brother Wuji, are they Song Yu's predecessors?

"Jiu Niang. ”

Zhuang Han put his index finger up in front of his mouth, signaling her to boo.

"Brother Zhuang Han, the person standing next to me is my savior, he will not have a problem. ”

"Won't there be a problem?" Zhuang Han frowned, and decided to ask clearly before considering whether to let people go.

The inner layer of this stone wall is embedded with extraterrestrial meteorite, and it has extremely high resistance to true qi, even the great grandmaster can't break it.

Before figuring out the situation, Zhuang Han was not ready to open the door. If Wuji has a problem, this stone wall can also buy him and Jiu Niang time to escape.

Thinking of it, Zhuang Han bent down and whispered in Jiu Niang's ear.

"Jiu Niang, you go and wait, I'll figure out Wuji's identity first, Wuji has disappeared for so long, no one can guarantee that he has no problem. ”

"Well, okay, that's... You stay safe. Jiuniang nodded, she knew the importance of confirming her identity, she didn't mess around, obeyed Zhuang Han's words, and went upstairs obediently.

"Okay Mowgli, I'm going to confirm the identity of you and your savior, no problem. ”

"Of course, Brother Zhuang Han just asked me. ”

"Hmm... Let's talk about what you experienced three years ago after the project failed. ”

'Three years ago...'

His eyes opened and closed, and after a moment of silence, Wuji slowly spoke, telling the ups and downs of the past three years.

Zhuang Han listened quietly, followed by Wuji's soft voice, as if he had returned to that bloody night again.

The two friends of life and death stood face to face, separated by a thick stone wall.
