Chapter 138: A Mouse

I don't know how long I walked, but I finally saw the flickering fire on the wall, and I could hear the sound of charcoal burning, indicating that the brazier for lighting and heating was not far away. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The vision of the innocent is very good, even in the darkness where you can't see your fingers, you can see clearly, but the darkness always gives people a feeling of not being very steady, and it is not as reassuring as the light.

No matter how long the stairs are, there will always be a time to finish.

Descending the steps, there is also a winding flat passage, which seems to deliberately lead people astray.

Wuxian didn't understand the prime minister's "good intentions", the basement of his own house was used for himself, and he was so secretive, aren't you afraid of confusing yourself?

Just as she was wondering, she heard Su Hou's voice again, this time he kept his voice very low, only those who had a close conversation with him could hear it, and she didn't hear what he said.

There's light ahead!

Wuxian was excited, and walked a lot faster than before.

In this situation, the transition from darkness to light is the time when a person's vigilance is at their weakest, and no one is immune.

She saw the braziers on the stands on either side of the passage, and saw two clusters of blazing flames, but she ignored the strangeness beneath her feet.

She accidentally stepped on a thin thread, as thick as a hair's strand, all silvery-white, lying quietly on the ground. At the moment when she stepped on it, the other end of the silver-white thread, perhaps tied to a bell, made a tinkling sound, and there was a circle of echoes in this airtight passage, hovering above her head, endlessly.

It's a big fuss!

"Who? Still not showing up? The movement of the bell was so loud that it really startled Su Hou out of the secret room, and he carried a sword and walked slowly along the silver thread.

Wu Wu clinged to the wall, holding his breath, adjusting his breath to its weakest, almost breath-like state.

Although the cloak can be invisible, it can't reach the distance, people have a smell, if Su Hou walks up to her, he may not be aware of her existence.

As Su Hou's footsteps got closer and closer, a gong and drum seemed to beat in Wuxian's heart, knocking on her heart.

Can't sit still!

Cowering in the corner, he looked around, and suddenly he was in a hurry, and thought of a way to save the situation, and put two fingers into his mouth.

Squeak squeak squeak –

The cry of a suspicious rat rang out abruptly in the passage.

In order to increase the persuasiveness, Wuxian made a fleeing gesture by the light of the fire, projecting it on the wall like a real rat fleeing.

"It turned out to be a mouse." Su Hou saw the shadows on the wall moving, and muttered to himself.

Since it was a mouse, there was nothing more to say, he snorted and returned to the secret room.

Here's your chance!

Wuxian took the opportunity to follow, and took the lead in the moment he opened the door, without Su Hou knowing.

When she entered, she realized that this was also a study, and it was more than twice as large as the one on the ground, and the decoration style was completely different from the one above.

On the opposite side of the desk, a man sits, only his side face can be seen, with deep-set eyes, a high nose, and slightly curly blond hair tied behind his head with a black ribbon.

His costume is also very strange, divided into two parts, Wuxian doesn't know how to describe it, in short, it is not Nanxuan's popular style.

This person shouldn't be from Nanxuan, right?
