Because in addition to the matter of the dark arrow, Gu Xuan was not worried about Shen Qiao, so the three of them walked together. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It's just that they searched everywhere they could, even touching all the places on the walls as long as their hands could touch them, but they didn't find anything special.

Shen Qiao pursed his lips.

She was a little thirsty.

I've been in here for a while, and although I'm not hungry underground, it's normal to be thirsty because I haven't drunk water for so long.

"Goo."

After Shen Qiao pursed his lips, he heard the sound of cooing in the empty secret room.

The servant covered his stomach and said embarrassedly: "Girl, Gu Gongzi, it's hot at noon, I haven't eaten much, I'm a little hungry at this time." ”

"Gu Xuan, are you hungry?"

Shen Qiao's heart moved and asked.

Gu Xuan shook his head.

"What's the matter, Jojo, are you hungry?"

Gu Xuan took Shen Qiao's hand and asked.

Shen Qiao shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry, I'm just a little thirsty." I'm just wondering if it's already dark outside. Also, Lord Xie asked him to ask about the situation of the neighbor next door. ”

"Xie Rui should find this side, let's go over there and wait!"

Gu Xuan frowned.

Today they were careless.

Originally, after discovering that the rope had been cut, he should have left someone to guard the door when he entered this secret room.

The official stopped talking, and followed Shen Qiao and Gu Xuan to the stone table in the outside room and sat down.

Here, Xie Rui and Xie Jiao walked all the way outside.

After he told Xie Cheng about the situation, Xie Cheng immediately sent someone to find the families of the missing girls.

They waited for the family to come and go down.

"Father, didn't Wang Cheng and the three of them come out?"

Xie Rui looked at the study, the cellar, and the courtyard, but he didn't see the three officials who walked through the entrance of the tunnel that they had just met.

"They haven't come out yet, the study and cellar are guarded, and when they come out, I'll know."

Xie Cheng frowned.

"Father, before that you asked people to ask how the residents in this alley are doing?"

Xie Rui said.

Xie Cheng shook his head and said, "Except for the family next door, the others are honest people, nothing special." ”

"What's going on next door?"

Xie Cheng hurriedly asked.

"There's no one next door."

Xie Cheng glanced at Xie Rui and said.

Xie Rui was speechless.

I didn't say it earlier, I thought there was something going on next door?

The men who sent out brought the girls' families in a short time.

All of them had red eyes.

"Father, my son has to go down, let me show them the way!"

Seeing that someone was coming, Xie Rui got up and said.

"You, don't go! You see your sister scared like this, and no one protects you......"

Even if Xie Cheng said words of concern, the expression on his face was crying.

Xie Rui looked at Xie Jiao.

Dressed in red, he sat there in a daze.

Shaking his head, he stepped forward and said a few words in Xie Jiao's ear.

Xie Jiao's eyes were bright, and her spirit came all of a sudden.

She got up and said, "Dad, I'll go with me, I'll protect my brother." ”

The corners of Xie Cheng's mouth twitched.

This stupid girl was deceived by her shrewd son who didn't know what to say.

Helpless!

He nodded.

Then he gave twenty of his sister and brother, and the six girls' families, seventeen in all, and went down the road from the study.

Xie Rui and the others couldn't be sure if the five dead were the ones missing, and even if they were, they couldn't tell which one belonged to which one.

Xie Rui walked to the entrance of the secret room, made the people wait, and ran out to say a few words in Xie Cheng's ear.

After confirming that Xie Cheng understood, he turned around and continued to walk down.

"Brother, what are you talking to your father?"

Xie Jiao walked in a row with Xie Rui, took his hand and asked.

"Just let him find a few reliable clever ones to go to the next room to see if there will be a secret passage or something. As you saw just now, this underground is quite large, definitely more than the yard on the ground. ”

Xie Rui said.

"Is what you just told me true? Can we really go with them? ”

Xie Jiao nodded and said.

Xie Rui glanced at Xie Jiao and said, "Of course." Let's not talk about it, when this is over, I'll tell you how to do it. Custody works. ”

"Okay."

Xie Jiao agreed, and stopped talking.

Xie Rui looked around as he walked.

"Strange, how did this rope break when it got here?"

After walking for a while, Xie Rui suddenly stopped and looked at the severed rope underground.

As soon as he stopped, everyone behind him stopped.

"There must have been someone in the dark tunnel, cut off after we came out."

Xie Jiao is not afraid of the living, so she has nothing to be afraid of before entering the secret room.

"If there are people, then why don't we just stop us when we come out?"

Xie Rui frowned.

"That's definitely because I'm afraid that your sister and I can't beat me!"

Xie Jiao affirmed.

Xie Rui was noncommittal.

Xie Jiao is powerful, those people face-to-face may not be able to beat, but if there is a light and a dark, and the people in the dark come to the yin, how can the three of them come out?

"Let's go, let's hurry. If there were people in the secret tunnel, Qiaoqiao and their situation would definitely not be good. ”

Xie Rui said again.

Then he glanced behind him, and it was still the ten officials who had just followed him and the relatives of a few deceased.

Turning his head, he pulled Xie Jiao and continued to move forward.

After walking for more than half an hour, the hearts of the deceased were a little unbearable, and Xie Rui stopped again.

"What's wrong?"

Xie Jiao asked puzzled.

In her heart, she had to find the open stone door to reach her destination, and she didn't know that the stone door had been closed from the outside.

"That's where we entered the stone chamber just now."

Xie Rui raised his torch again and glanced at the ten officials behind him, as well as a few relatives of the deceased.

It was still those people, but he always felt that something was wrong.

"Here, won't it? At that time, I remember that Jojo accidentally knocked on the stone wall, and then the stone door opened. It's not closed when we leave, isn't it ......?"

Xie Jiao covered her mouth.

Just because they're not closed doesn't mean others can't be closed.

There was a cut rope just now, and there was also a previous entry, which means that there are people in this secret passage.

It must have been after they had left, and the man came and closed the stone door outside.

Xie Rui nodded.

Then he looked at the ten officers.

None of them were familiar to him, and he couldn't name them.

I looked at everyone's expressions one by one, and nine of them were very normal expressions that the official should have when he saw the prefect's son, but one was not so normal.

When Xie Rui looked at him, he also looked back at Xie Rui.

There was no fluctuation in his eyes, just like a wooden man.

Xie Rui pointed at him and said, "You, come and shoot the wall for Ben Gongzi." ”

The man clenched his fists and nodded, and stepped forward without saying a word.
