"Ah Sheng," Ji Zhaoran hugged her in his arms, the cold body in his arms did not react at all, he said softly: "I know you are sad, you are resentful, you can't bear so much for a while, but now we have to calm down, just in the imperial study so big a move He Rong's keen will soon detect the clue and order the investigation, so this secret passage will soon be exposed, not only you and I will be in danger, even the princess of the country...... Your aunt will also be in danger, don't you want to save her, so you must cheer up now. ”

"Auntie......" Chu Yunsheng, who had lost his sense of reason and touch, finally had a little reaction when he heard the word aunt.

Ji Zhaoran patted her back gently, as if coaxing a child, and said softly: "Yes, she is now under house arrest by He Rong with severe poison, and she is still waiting for you to save her." ”

Hearing this, Chu Yunsheng's mind slowly returned to its place, the heart that had been numb and unconscious just now, suddenly hurt again at this moment, and the overwhelming grief swept over, the grievances and resentments that had been suppressed for many years could not be suppressed at this moment, and tears broke out, and she subconsciously hugged Ji Zhaoran, who was hugging her, buried her head in his arms, and cried.

At this moment, she cried like a child.

Ji Zhaoran didn't say anything anymore, and let Chu Yunsheng vent her feelings like this, at this time, it was good for her to cry.

He knew that staying here for a second longer would be a little more dangerous, but he was unwilling and unbearable to disturb her at this time.

When she had cried enough and was tired of crying, Ji Zhaoran gently patted her on the back: "Ah Sheng, you have to cheer up, I never believe in the cycle of cause and effect, good and evil will be rewarded in the end, I only believe in myself, the hatred and justice that should be recovered are only for us to get back, God will never have mercy on the weak, in this world, the strong survive, if you want to take revenge, you must make yourself stronger." ”

Although this may sound a bit cruel, it is very true. The sentences reached Chu Yunsheng's heart. She took a deep breath, her heart was full of the cold plum fragrance on Ji Zhaoran's body, and the chaotic emotions of her chaotic brain before had calmed down and sobered up at this time.

"Well, I know," Chu Yunsheng raised her hand and touched the tears on her face, pulled out of Ji Zhaoran's arms, and tried to move the corners of her mouth to smile at him with relief, but because she had cried too much for too long, the muscles on her face were a little stiff now, and laughing was even more ugly than crying, she lowered her eyes and said, "I'm fine, let's go." ”

As she spoke, she turned around, took a step forward and went down the secret passage, following the memory of the secret passage drawings in her mind, and walked towards the secret passage leading to Yunxiu Palace.

At this time, Chu Yunsheng had already regained his usual quiet and calm, as if the person who was crying just now was not her, at this moment, Ji Zhaoran clearly heard the sound of something breaking at the tip of his heart.

It was the sound of heartache.

However, he was helpless, this was a step that Chu Yunsheng had to take after all, no one could help her, and she could only cross that hurdle by herself.

Thinking of this, Ji Zhaoran stepped up his steps, followed her, raised his hand and naturally took her hand, Chu Yunsheng moved his fingertips, but in the end he didn't struggle.

The secret passage is dark and damp, and there are many forks in the road along the way, and some places are covered with moss because no one has set foot all year round, and the body is a little unstable when walking on it.

The two of them were silent all the way, each with their own thoughts.

When he was finally about to arrive at Yunxiu Palace, Ji Zhaoran estimated that Chu Yunsheng's mood had calmed down a bit, and then he spoke, diverting her attention and said, "Originally, in my plan, I wanted to take advantage of He Rong's shift of attention to He Ming, and then find a suitable time to send your aunt out of the palace, but I didn't expect the change in the imperial study just now...... That fire must have aroused He Rong's vigilance, even if your aunt is sent out of the palace safely, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape from the capital of Zhao Kingdom, and now there are only two choices in front of you, save your aunt, we will escape from Zhao Wangdu with nine deaths, give up her, we can escape more easily, have you thought about it?"

These, Chu Yunsheng, who has calmed down, has already thought about it on the way here, the so-called choice is not a choice for her at all, and it is impossible for her to give up her only relative.

It's just that Ji Zhaoran, who wants to be involved, is in danger with her, but without Ji Zhaoran's help and support, I am afraid that she and her aunt can only escape from this palace at most, and it is impossible to escape the search and arrest of He Rong's men in the royal capital.

This is what makes her feel ashamed: "You don't have to help me like this, the agreement I made with you has actually been reached by you, and I will come by myself if I am lucky enough to survive with my aunt, I will definitely find you to fulfill the agreement with you, if it is ......"

She didn't say any more about the rest of the words, because through the dim light, she saw Ji Zhaoran's impeccable face, which was gloomy and tight at this time.

I don't know if I said something wrong, in the end, she was still thinking about him, Chu Yunsheng bit the corner of her lip, and wanted to say something more, Ji Zhaoran had already pulled her past and continued to walk forward.

"Your master Yuanchen has arrived in Zhao Wangdu the day before yesterday, and I have already discussed with him and will meet him outside the city. Ji Zhaoran walked in front, didn't look at Chu Yunsheng's face, and said lightly.

As soon as he heard Master Yuanchen, Chu Yunsheng came to his senses: "My master?"

But I immediately realized that there was another problem.

Master Yuanchen obviously came to Zhao Guo one step ahead of her, why did he come here after all these days? Where did he go these days? What happened?

Ji Zhaoran didn't look back, but he seemed to have guessed what Chu Yunsheng was thinking, and he continued: "If my guess is right, he should have gone to Liaoyuan. ”

"Liaoyuan?"

Chu Yunsheng subconsciously repeated.

In that relatively distant and unfamiliar country, she had only seen a few words about it in the library of the Lock Demon Tower.

It is a country developed by nomadic tribes, separated from Zhao, Chu, Yan, Chen, and Wei by a hopeless sea.

I heard that the people are fierce and untamable, and for so many years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, there has never been any negotiation with the five countries across the sea, and it is rumored that anyone who wants to go to Liaoyuan to find out what is going on in the hopeless sea will eventually be buried at the bottom of the sea.

What kind of connection does her master Yuanchen have with such a legendary and mysterious country?

Ji Zhaoran said that he was guessing, how could he even guess this? Many questions instantly popped up in Chu Yunsheng's mind.
