97. Chapter 97

The dungeon at night is actually no different from the day, under the illumination of the night pearl, the same brightness and the same seclusion.

Huo Zhanbai walked on the bluestone road with a faint and clear light, dressed in white obscenity, and he didn't even put on his coat.

The green silk is scattered on the shoulders, and the black and white are staggered, which casts a dark color over the whole picture.

He walked with modest steps, but quickly, and soon, he reached his destination, a secret chamber in this dungeon.

The dungeon is wide, mysterious, and hidden. There are many places that you can't find without looking carefully.

And this secret room is still the news he got from knocking on the side for many days.

This secret room was no different from the appearance of the various houses in the city, it was the simplest suite, if it wasn't for the fact that he saw Yan Yan walk in a few days ago, he would never have thought that this place still hid such a secret.

With a "squeak", he pushed the wooden door open, and the light of the night pearl glowing outside suddenly projected in, illuminating the furniture and beds inside.

Huo Zhanbai raised his feet and stepped into the house, covered the door again, and then took out a small night pearl from his arms, and the faint light just illuminated the scene in front of him.

He took two steps, groping for the few places that he had speculated to be most likely the Hidden Trap.

He moved slowly, and finally, finally, he touched a small crescent-shaped hole.

Huo Zhanbai evoked a smile, raised the night pearl in his other hand in front of him, looked at it carefully, and made sure that the dark hole fit 100% with the crescent-shaped pendant in his arms, so he took out the pendant in his arms.

And in the clear light of the Night Pearl, the pendant also glowed with a bright yellow pale light, and it was the pendant that Yan Ember gave to Rong Yu, the only key in this dungeon.

It turned out that the inner ghost was not Huo Zhanting as everyone thought, but Huo Zhanbai!

He took the pendant and gently inserted it into the dark hole, and when it was completely fitted, a dark grid of about forty centimeters opened on the wall in front of him.

Huo Zhanbai took a picture of the Night Pearl forward, and when he saw the bright yellow curled up holy decree, he smiled again and stretched out his hand to take it out.

Huo Zhanbai unfolded the corner of the holy decree and glanced at the seal of the jade seal on it, verified the authenticity, stuffed it into his arms, and then took out the pendant from the dark hole, and walked out of the door in the faint light of the night pearl.

And Huo Zhanbai, who came out, also regained his decadent appearance at the beginning.

He stroked the hair that was scattered over his shoulders, and paced around the room a few times, seeming to be very confused, and finally when he felt that the time was almost up, he shook off the hem of his clothes and walked to his room.

Anyone who sees Huo Zhanbai at this moment will only think that he is worried about some things, and he didn't even have time to tidy up his clothes and hair when he got up in the middle of the night, so he was entangled and hesitated outside the court.

With another "click", Huo Zhanbai pushed open his door with one hand, and saw that Jiang Zinan was still sleeping in his bed.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Jiang Zinan was put down by him, and in that pot of tea, he was drugged.

He is Zhou Xin's person, and he has been since ten years ago.

In life, there is always something to ask for, and what he Huo Zhanbai asks for is to be a high-ranking official, a king to worship the prime minister, and a beauty in his arms......

And in Thunder Wind Village, he can only be a second-in-command forever, with his wisdom, but doing some simple things that make people speechless, only a small cottage, a bandit nest that attracts thousands of spurns, he is unwilling.

Here, he can only use his ingenuity when he goes to the battlefield, and on weekdays, he can only joke with a group of big bosses and rough gags, and even women can't see it.

They seem to be great, they are being hermit masters behind the scenes, silently paying for the border city, but in reality they have gained the fear and spurning of the people, and he can't stand it.

He hopes that he is a high-ranking official and can be flattered by others; He wanted to be so rich that he could be flattered and flattered......

When the emperor found him, he promised him a high-ranking official and gave him money and beauty, so he finally compromised.

If he is allowed to live in such a cottage for the rest of his life, fighting with the Shanjung people in front of a bandit leader, he must always worry about whether he will be in a different place the next moment, and the emperor is coveting the stumbling block behind his back, he is too tired.

So he finally compromised and sold his soul to Zhou Xin together.

In fact, betrayal can also become a habit, and the first time he betrays Fengzhai, his heart will beat like thunder, and his heart will be filled with guilt and self-loathing; And after the second, third, or even countless times, all betrayals become a matter of course.

Compared with his future rich and comfortable life, the so-called brothers and relatives seem to have become insignificant, and he can sell his soul together for the sake of profit.

And until now, he has already become a hidden weapon in the hands of the emperor, and he has been fiercely pierced in the heart of Thunder Wind Village.

Although he is not Huo Zhanting, he does not have the intelligence network of Thunder Wind Village in his hands, but Huo Zhanting is his own brother, and in this world, the person who trusts him the most is afraid that this stupid brother is the one who trusts him the most.

Huo Zhanting didn't have the slightest suspicion of him, and the end of trusting him too much was that the power in his hands was hollowed out a little bit, and the former intelligence network of Thunder Wind Village was slowly controlled by Huo Zhanbai.

It's just that no one knows.

His younger brother is really not suitable to be an intelligence agent, he only knows how to disguise his appearance, but he doesn't know how to disguise his heart, and he doesn't know how to spy on people's hearts.

So in the end, Thunder Wind Village became a ruin under his single-handed push.

And the inaction of the entire intelligence network has become Huo Zhanting's fault.

At this time, he pushed Duan Xiao out, and when he accused Rong Yu, in fact, his target was Huo Zhanting.

It seems that Huo Zhanting made a bad move, and the purpose of transferring the target was not reached, but he exposed himself, but in fact, his plan was carried out perfectly.

He shifted all his attention to Huo Zhanting, and he was perfectly hidden in the dark night.

And this afternoon, he went to find Rong Yu, it seems that because of excessive sadness, in order to prove his brother's "innocence", or in order to send his brother into the infernal hell, he went to find the other party to cooperate with the acting.

But in fact, his purpose was only to meet the pendant on his body, the only key in the dungeon.

Although it was something that Rong Yu was carrying around his neck, it was not difficult for him to take it away unconsciously.

Tonight was the time he had planned.

With his "heartbreak", he seemed to be so sad that he didn't even wear clothes and went to Huo Zhanting, but in fact he wanted to go to the secret room to find the holy decree designated by Zhou Xin.

It's a pity that when he got up, a completely fooled Jiang Zinan came, I have to say that Jiang Zinan has a deep affection for Huo Zhanting, obviously Huo Zhanting has replaced him as an inner ghost and a sinner for the ages of Thunder Wind Village, but she still wants to intercede for the other party, just wants to leave the other party's life, and in order to increase the bargaining chips, she also plans to pull him together.

How could he be willing, looking at Jiang Zinan's expression, he also guessed that Yan Yan might be going to make a move against Huo Zhanting in the near future.

And the situation when Yan Yan entered the secret room that day was actually a trap specially set up to attract Huo Zhanting's attention.

Huo Zhanbai deduced that the only chance he had to get something without exposing it was today, so he made a quick decision, put Jiang Zinan down, and then hurriedly went to the secret room to get something.

And now, he only has to wait two days before leaving.

Leaving this dark place is just around the corner.

Huo Zhanbai sneered in his heart, but his face did not show it, and carefully put the things in his arms into a sandalwood box that had been prepared, Huo Zhanbai leaned down and approached Jiang Zinan's ear, "Zinan......"

"Zi Nan ......" again and again, Huo Zhanbai's voice was very light and light, so light that it was almost inaudible, but it woke up Jiang Zinan, who had fallen into a deep sleep.

"Second brother?" Jiang Zinan woke up in a daze, and saw Huo Zhanbai who was very close to him at a glance.

"Second brother!" Jiang Zinan panicked, raised his hand and pushed Huo Zhanbai away, and Huo Zhanbai, who didn't have much defense against her, was suddenly pushed to the ground by her.

Jiang Zinan didn't have time to pay attention to Huo Zhanbai's situation on the ground, she carefully looked at the clothes on her body, and confirmed that nothing had changed, so she put her mind at ease.

It was really Huo Zhanbai who was too close just now, almost kissing the corner of her lips, and Huo Zhanbai still had a hair scattered and disheveled clothes, so the ambiguous atmosphere made her think of some terrifying possibilities in her heart for a moment, so she couldn't help but push the person away with one hand.

Now she found that she was not sorry for Huo Zhanting, so she also remembered the Huo Zhanbai who was accidentally pushed down by her with great strength.

Jiang Zinan jumped up from Huo Zhanbai's bed with a "rub", she bent down and looked at Huo Zhanbai, "Second brother, are you okay?" ”

Although her second brother is the wisdom of the Thunder Wind Village, and his force value is not comparable to that of their group, he shouldn't be weak and can't stand up after being pushed down by himself, right?!

"I'm fine......" The expression on Huo Zhanbai's face buried in the shadows who was pushed down distorted, and he said that the Thunder Wind Village was destroyed and just like that, the people in a village, the men are all big and rough, and the women are all violent women...... He just doesn't like it!

"By the way, second brother......" Seeing Huo Zhanbai standing up unharmed, Jiang Zinan's thoughts that had deviated in an instant just now were pulled back, but she still remembered the purpose of her coming.

"Second brother, that ...... Let's go and plead with the eldest brother to the pavilion! Jiang Zinan gritted his teeth, and finally said this unspeakable sentence.

She knew that as long as Huo Zhanting's identity as a ghost was confirmed, he would inevitably die...... However, she was reluctant.

Now that she is here today, she knows the decision in her heart.

She hated him because he had ruined their house and harmed their family; But she also loved him, and she couldn't do it if she wanted her to watch him die.

So, no matter what, she has to fight for it now, at least she has to go and ask the boss.

But Huo Zhanbai nodded this time, he knew the truth, the matter was not done by Huo Zhanting, and he didn't even know about it at all, so in the end, this matter must wait for him to escape from this dark dungeon before the truth can be revealed.

And now, Jiang Zinan has come to him to intercede for his own brother, based on his feelings for his younger brother, he naturally wants to struggle, but in the end he agreed.

And Jiang Zinan at this moment is also very happy, she knows that the possibility of the boss and her second brother joining hands to intercede together and opening up the net is not small.

Therefore, as soon as Jiang Zinan saw Huo Zhanbai nodding, he stretched out his hand to pull him away, "Let's go quickly!" ”

Huo Zhanbai broke away from Jiang Zinan's hand, shook his head and said, "If you want to leave, you must also let me put on my clothes and tie my hair first!" ”

Jiang Zinan finally noticed that Huo Zhanbai's body was not suitable for going out, so he could only take a step back with a smile, "Second brother, you get it first." ”

As soon as her words fell, there were three knocks outside the door.
