Chapter 253: Eight Years Underground
Zhang Xiaopaw's subtle state of mind extended along the dark passage, invading into the stone room at the end of the passage, and was secretly observing the scene in the stone room, when there was a tall man in gray, holding tea in his hand and smiling, entering the coverage of his subtle state of mind.
At first glance, when he saw the face of this gray-clothed man, Zhang Xiaopaw immediately showed an extremely shocked expression on his face, because this man he knew, it was Qi Changfeng, Qi Yoyo's eldest brother.
However, he immediately discovered that this Qi Changfeng in the stone room was not the same person as the Qi Changfeng he had seen in the City Lord's Mansion, because this Qi Changfeng in the stone room had rough and dull skin, a haggard and sallow face, and a slightly thin body.
Although the whole person was clean and tidy, the hair and clothes had been hardened by the ash stains, and the hair was not so much coiled on the head as it was buckled on the head like a big cake, and the gray clothes had been polished hard and translucent by the ash stains, and the original color could not be seen for a long time.
From the appearance of this person, Zhang Xiaopaw could conclude that he must have been in this dark underground stone chamber for a long, long time, at least in years.
Therefore, this person is definitely not the Qi Changfeng with outstanding temperament and graceful demeanor in the City Lord's Mansion.
Then, in other words, the real Qi Changfeng did not die, but was imprisoned in this underground stone chamber unknowingly.
And when the man walked, the shackles revealed between the hems of his clothes swayed told Zhang Xiaopaw more clearly that he was Qi Changfeng, the real Qi Changfeng.
"Who are you?!" The person in the passage turned a corner and saw Wan Qiuqing standing at the door, his tone suddenly raised a bit, and he asked gloomily and vigilantly.
"Wow-Uncle Shi-" Wan Qiuqing suddenly pouted and cried, and shouted "Uncle Shi" with great sadness and grievances, just like a child who was bullied outside, he was full of misery and grievances, and met the adults in the family at the corner of the street, and the emotions in his heart were vented at once.
Zhang Xiaopaw hid aside, startled by Wan Qiu's cold cry. Seeing Wan Qiuqing's affectionate appearance, he couldn't help but remind himself that he must have a few more eyes when dealing with this city lord's wife in the future, otherwise he would definitely be deceived by her.
"What are you crying about?!Is there something wrong outside?!Old Du, what about Du Ziteng?!" The people in the passage asked repeatedly, Wan Qiuqing's blonde hair and blue eyes and mournful cry made him relax his vigilance a little.
"Uncle Shi, I-ours have been exposed, all-all-Du Lao, he-he has not escaped. Uncle Shi, the big tooth dog deceives people too much!Woo-" Wan Qiuqing sobbed and whimpered.
"What did you say?!" The people in the passage couldn't believe their ears when they heard the words, and asked with trembling lips: "Lao Du, he- he's dead?!"
As he spoke, his body quickly crawled out of the passage.
Zhang Xiaopaw leaned against the wall, afraid of being discovered by someone who came.
However, the people in the passage did not climb out, but stopped at a distance of one zhang from the entrance of the cave, stretched out their hands as rough and cracked as old bark and beckoned to Wan Qiuqing, and comforted them softly: "Good boy, don't be afraid, Lao Du is gone, and Uncle Shi is gone." Come on in, don't be discovered. โ
"Hmm. Wan Qiuqing nodded hurriedly, wiped away his tears, and bent down into the passage.
Zhang Xiaopaw hid behind the wall and couldn't help glaring, Wan Qiuqing went in, what should he do?
Just when he was at a loss, Wan Qiuqing climbed into the narrow passage, and when he approached that he was still one step away from the big tooth man in the passage, the big tooth man suddenly snorted and laughed, his body suddenly rushed forward, and his dead tree root-like hand grabbed Wan Qiu
Clear the door.
"Ahh
Zhang Xiaopaw chuckled in his heart and yelled badly. But when he saw Wan Qiuqing, who was screaming, hooked the corners of his mouth, and the Sanqing sword stabbed out suddenly.
It turned out that neither of them believed in anyone, each had a ghost, and they both held bad water in their hearts, wanting to kill each other.
Poofโ
Wan Qiu Qing's skills were superior, and the sharp blade of the blue and white sword broke through the True Yuan defense of the Big Tooth Man and pierced the Big Tooth Man's head.
"People's hearts are deceitful!" Zhang Xiaopaw's eyes were calm, and Wan Qiuqing and the big tooth man in the passage gave him an extremely vivid lesson.
"What are you doing outside?" Wan Qiuqing's voice sounded in the passage.
Zhang Xiaopaw responded, seeing that the big tooth man in the stone room did not have any abnormal reaction, presumably because the passage was narrow and long, and he turned a ** corner, so that the sound outside did not come in, so he did not alarm the big tooth man inside.
"It's coming. Zhang Xiaopaw bowed down and got into the passage, chased after Wan Qiuqing, and said in a low voice: "Madam, last time I expelled the corpse poison for the second son and saved the second son's life, and you haven't rewarded me yet." โ
Wan Qiuqing was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Zhang Xiaopaw suddenly mentioned this, his eyes suddenly stopped, turned to stare at Zhang Xiaopaw's eyes, and asked with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Did you find that there is a treasure in the secret room that makes you greedy, so you want me to reward you?"
Without waiting for Zhang Xiaopaw to answer, she nodded briskly and said: "If you can find the stronghold of the big tooth people hiding in Yancheng, you are the leader, if there is a treasure in it, you can choose." This time there will be no cheating, it's a puppy!"
"Not really. Zhang Xiaopaw shook his head and said, "I'm thinking, if I save the second son and then the eldest son, will the treasure house in Madame's house have to be opened to me once?"
"Y-what are you talking about?!" Wan Qiuqing's body trembled violently when he heard this, and the excitement in his heart was irrepressibly revealed on his face, and his blood surged up, and his cheeks flushed. She stared at a pair of apricot eyes, staring at Zhang Xiaopaw urgently and fearfully, she was afraid that she had heard it wrong, or that Zhang Xiaopaw had said it wrong, so she would rejoice.
Zhang Xiaopu nodded with a smile and said, "The eldest prince was not murdered by the big tooth dog, but was imprisoned by them in this underground secret room, and he is still alive." โ
"Really, really?!" Wan Qiuqing's tears burst out of his eyes instantly, pursing his lips to prevent himself from crying.
"Really!" Zhang nodded affirmatively.
Wan Qiuqing took a deep breath and wiped away her tears with her sleeve, she suddenly remembered that she had seen Zhang Xiaopaw with a shocked expression at the door of the passage just now, because the big tooth man came out of the passage, she didn't have a chance to ask Zhang Xiaopaw what he saw, why was he so shocked? Now that she thinks about it, she knows that he saw Qi Changkong, so she showed that expression.
"Let's go!" Wan Qiuqing wiped away his tears, turned around and quickly crawled into the passage.
Zhang Xiaopaw followed closely behind her, while closely observing the movements in the secret room. As the distance narrowed, the subtle mood gradually covered the entire secret room, and it was found that there were two closed stone doors in the innermost part of the secret room, and I don't know what was behind the stone door.
"Qi Gongzi, I have good news for you. A big-toothed man sitting at the desk saw Qi Changfeng coming over with tea, put down the brush in his hand, looked at Qi Changfeng and said with a smile.
"Oh, what good news, tell me about it. Is it my Dayu border that is broken, or is Yancheng broken?" Qi Changfeng took a sip of tea and asked with a smile.
The tea in the teacup in his hand was only half left, and it had already cooled, to be exact, the tea had already been brewed, because this cup of tea had been brewed for five days, but he was still reluctant to drink it in large gulps, and only drank it in small sips. Watch his tea go down his throat
The expression of enjoyment seems to be drinking not rancid tea, but tea picked from fairyland.
A cup of tea for half a month is Qi Changfeng's greatest enjoyment in this ghost place where he does not see the light of day, and he naturally wants to enjoy it slowly.
"My big tooth warrior has killed the Black Forest, annihilated the 50,000 army of Baiyun City, and killed Qin Zhenghao, the city lord of Baiyun City, and controlled the two cities of Haoyue and Jincheng, and Baiyun City is about to be broken. โ
"There is nothing surprising about what is already expected. Qi Changfeng rolled his eyelids and said unconcernedly, "It's just that it's a pity that the city lord of Baiyun City died in battle, he is my father's best friend, and my father must be extremely sad when he learns about it." โ
"Your father is indeed very sad and angry, and the 1.8 million army marched north, wanting to recover the two cities of Haoyue and Jincheng, exterminate my big tooth army, and save Baiyun City from danger. The Big Tooth man laughed.
"Impossible!" Qi Changfeng shook his head directly after hearing this, "Let's not say that Yancheng doesn't have an army of 1.8 million, even if there is, it is impossible for my father to use a single soldier to support Baiyun City." โ
"Heh, Qi Gongzi is smart. So where did you tell me where this 1.8 million army came from?"
"I guess I was recruited from the refugees. The purpose of going north is to put pressure on Jincheng so that you cannot attack Baiyun City with impunity. โ
"Awesome!" the big tooth man gave Qi Changfeng a thumbs up, "It's just that our goal has never been Baiyun City, our goal is only one, Yancheng." The day after tomorrow, Li Yuande's million rebel generals came to the southern city, and Wei Guogong helped Emperor Su open the gate of the imperial capital, and this time he wanted to help Li Yuande open the gate of Yancheng. When Li Yuande's rebels invade Yancheng and attract the main forces of Yancheng, our big tooth warriors will take the opportunity to attack the northern city, and the heavy task of breaking through the southern city gate will be on Gongzi. Hey, I have been here with my son for eight years, and I am about to separate, and I am a little reluctant. โ
"Hehe, you didn't kill me, but locked me up here for eight years, and I was better fed and clothed than all of you, just to threaten my father with me at the most critical time and make him obedient. But I warned you that this was in vain. My father is loyal to the empire and has a righteous heart, and he will never betray the empire because of me. Qi Changfeng sneered, but his mind was in a mess, and he drank two sips of tea without knowing it.
What disturbed his mind was not his imminent death, but the name "Wei Guogong".
In the past eight years, he has stayed here, and the Big Tooth people have not guarded him at all, and all the information sent to him has been shown to him, and sometimes he is really bored, and he will take the initiative to help the Big Tooth people sort out some intelligence information. So although he is locked up here, he knows the situation outside better than the authorities outside.
But the name Wei Guogong was not expected by him at all. And the strength of Wei Guogong, he had heard his mother mention it. If Wei Guogong suddenly attacked, and his father did not have any vigilance against him, the consequences would inevitably be unimaginable.
"There is also good news that has not been told to Qi Gongzi. The big tooth man sneered, "Your second brother, Changkong Gongzi, was killed by the Duke of Wei in the Hundred Desolate Mountains more than ten days ago. In addition, your little sister, Miss Yo Yo, is going north with the army and serving under Qi Changfeng, and the news of Miss Yo Yo's death will come soon. At that time, you will only have one seedling left in the Qi family, do you guess that Lord Qi will still kill his relatives in righteousness? Hahaโโ"
While!
Crash!
Qi Changfeng's beloved teacup fell off his hand and fell to pieces on the ground, and the rancid tea spilled on the ground.
"Good son, don't listen to his nonsense, your second brother is alive and well, and your little sister will not be in danger. Wan Qiuqing's excited and ecstatic voice suddenly sounded in the secret room.
