After leveling out a few Taoist priests in the ordinary alchemy room with his subordinates, Lu Shaoyun, who already knew where the secret door to the blood pill refining room was, raised his hand and fiddled with the secret door switch, and immediately, a large blue brick on the ground slid open, revealing the stone steps hidden below. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The stone steps were not long, and Lu Shaoyun, who was holding the Qingfeng Sword tightly, and his three subordinates only ran a few steps before they came to the door of the basement where the blood pill was refined.

The reddish basement glowed red by torches, and the entrance to the dark passage to the left of the basement had been sealed with a stone door.

Obviously, the sound of Lu Shaoyun and his subordinates breaking into the Alchemy Pavilion alarmed the people in the basement, and the alchemists, who realized that something was wrong, had already absconded after sealing the entrance to the secret passage.

It's just that looking at the chest-high alchemy furnace in front of him, as well as the countless wooden boxes containing alchemy materials stacked far away on the wall, Lu Shaoyun and his subordinates were not at all anxious that they did not catch the alchemist before escaping on the spot.

Let him run, anyway, there are their Jin Wuwei people guarding the other side of the secret road, there is no need to worry at all, their priority now is to rescue the children who were trapped in the basement as alchemy materials.

On the right hand side of the staircase, in the room opposite the dark passage, the brazier hanging from the ceiling shone on the twenty or so pale and thin children below.

The children who were sleeping on the ground were all yellow-skinned and bruised, and their slender ankles and wrists were hung with metal shackles that they couldn't even carry.

The little boy lying closest to the door, with a hollow metal tube the thickness of chopsticks stuck in his skinny chest. Luckily, though, the tip of the tube didn't pierce his heart, otherwise blood would have splattered out of the metal tube on his chest and spilled all over the ground.

Quickly bent down to probe the boy's snort, and after confirming that he was still breathing, Lu Shaoyun connected several big points to protect the boy's heart, and then carefully lifted him up, and took him out of the basement without any bumps.

Around Lu Shaoyun, the subordinates who knew what they should do without the orders of their superiors also began to slowly move the dying children in the basement out one by one in an orderly manner.

Lu Shaoyun, who carried the boy to the top of the steps, walked through the ordinary alchemy room in three or two steps, and crossed the threshold to the outside, gently placed the child in his arms on the marble floor away from the main entrance of the alchemy room, and then the doctor with the medicine box immediately ran over and took over the child's treatment.

When he stood up and was about to turn back to the basement, Lu Shaoyun, who was facing the mountain road he had walked on, somehow, seemed to suddenly hear the call of Xia Shuanghan in an instant.

It's just that he is self-critical in his heart (what do you think, Lu Shaoyun, you must not consider the private relationship between men and women when performing official duties, why can't you even do such a simple thing?) But after believing that he was definitely having auditory hallucinations, he turned around and ran into the alchemy room again.

Due to the dim lighting in the basement, it was impossible for the doctors to go underground to save people, and the children sleeping in the basement were delirious, making it impossible to tell if they were suffering internal injuries or broken bones. Therefore, although it does not take much time to go back and forth to the basement empty-handed, in order to prevent the secondary damage that may be caused by large shaking, the four people who carry the children out of the basement one at a time are safe, and the progress of the rescue is not fast.

I don't know how many rounds I walked to, Lu Shaoyun, who was about to bend down to pick up the next child, suddenly heard the sound of stumbling footsteps from behind the secret passage blocked by the stone gate.

"Be quiet!" Lu Shaoyun, who immediately gestured to the three subordinates to signal them to be hidden, also found a convenient place to peek and make moves before the stone door was opened.

There are so many children in the basement, and it is obviously not possible for one person to let go of the blood of each of them and use it for alchemy. But since when Lu Shaoyun led people to break in, all the alchemists in the basement had already escaped through the dark passage, so now, what happened when someone turned back?

The soldiers of the Jin Wuwei are all talents who have been tested in a hundred miles, so they will not do the foolish act of "coming forward to arrest the first arrestee the moment they get out of the dark passage", which clearly tells those who walk behind that "this road is not going to work".

It's just that today, the prisoner they encountered was relatively smarter, and the criminal who had now turned back wisely let others go ahead, and still hid in the secret passage for a long enough time after the others got out of the tunnel. So, the moment he found that there was an ambush around the exit of the secret passage, he sealed the entrance and exit at the end of the secret passage and chose to turn back.

After all, as the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place, so the alchemy room that has been searched now is probably the best way to escape at present.

Lu Shaoyun, who was hidden with his subordinates, was waiting, waiting for the people in the secret passage to open the stone door again and take the initiative to appear after mistakenly thinking that it was safe in the basement. Lu Shaoyun believed that he didn't need to wait long, after all, the people in the secret passage couldn't afford to delay the precious escape time.

A moment later, the stone door of the secret passage shook and opened as expected, and the moment the hiding person stepped into the basement, a flying knife thrown by Lu Shaoyun pierced the instep of the person's foot.

Lu Shaoyun, who gestured to his subordinates to continue to transfer the children, walked in a few steps to the Taoist priest with the knife in his instep, raised his hand and pointed at his acupoint to make his whole body stiff, and then turned around and joined the actions of his subordinates.

With the idea of "bringing all the children up and then dealing with the prisoners", Lu Shaoyun, who returned to the basement from the ground again, was surprised to find that the man who had been pointed by him actually struggled to raise his right hand!

It is not easy to break through the several large acupuncture points that bind the whole body in a short period of time, but if you just want to free your right hand, it is not very difficult.

The Taoist priest who raised his right hand took out a white porcelain bottle from his bosom, then opened the stopper and poured the liquid inside on his face.

"Corpse water!" Lu Shaoyun, who instantly judged what was in the bottle from his face that melted like a candle's tears and the smell of burnt skin and flesh, rushed up and kicked the porcelain bottle that had not been poured clean into the corner.

In the crisp sound of the porcelain bottle shattering, looking at the bloody face of the Taoist priest, Lu Shaoyun instantly understood - this person was wearing a human skin mask! And the reason why he wants to be disfigured now must be to keep a huge secret hidden behind his true identity!

"He must not be allowed to die here!" In the dimly lit basement, Lu Shaoyun, who had made up his mind to protect the key prisoner in front of him, bent down to unlock his acupoint.

However, before Lu Shaoyun helped the prisoner up, the Taoist priest, who was still alive, reached out and pulled out the knife on the instep of his foot, and then brandished it and stabbed it towards Lu Shaoyun's vital point.

Taking advantage of the little time that Lu Shaoyun retreated to dodge, the Taoist priest, who kept snorting because of the pain, raised his hand to remove the torch inserted in the wall support, turned around and threw it to the top of the pile of wooden boxes placed on the side of the wall.

Before he had time to step forward to stop the Taoist priest from cutting his throat with a knife, the sparks on the wooden box next to the wall instantly made Lu Shaoyun realize that something was wrong-no, it looked like it was going to explode!

"Quickly retreat with two children each!" Lu Shaoyun, who knew that there was no hope of fighting the fire, shouted while leaving the body of the Taoist priest, turned around and rushed to the room where there were children.

At the door of the room, the two Jin Wuwei who rushed out with two children in their arms understood what Lu Shaoyun meant the moment they saw the sparks on the other side of the wooden box.

"I'm going to stop Sun Wu from running down again." Jin Wuwei, who was running in front, shouted and ran up the steps.

"And the last two, be careful." Although Jin Wuwei, who was walking behind, wanted to save the last two children instead of Lu Shaoyun, it had become his nature to obey the orders of his superiors, so he followed Lu Shaoyun's retreat instructions and also ran up the steps in three steps and two steps.

There was no time to respond to his subordinates, Lu Shaoyun, who ran into the room, picked up the last two remaining children, turned around and ran towards the steps at the exit.

The moment he climbed the steps, Lu Shaoyun knew that if he walked through the main gate, he would not be able to survive. The basement is not too deep, and the weight of the medicinal stones used for alchemy on the side of the wall is so large, if he walks through the main door, it is estimated that before he can run to the door, his body will become an unrecognizable mass of flesh and blood, and it will completely fly into the sky.

So, not caring about the few Taoist priests who were pointed out of the acupoints and couldn't move in the ordinary alchemy room, Lu Shaoyun, who was holding the two children, stepped on the ground with his right foot hard, and then used his strength to perform light skills, smashed through the nearest window to him, and flew to the outside of the alchemy room.

The impact of the explosion hit Lu Shaoyun's back like a fiery wall, and he tried his best to protect the two children in his arms, enduring the high temperature and severe pain, rolling on the ground several times before finally stopping.

In the loud sound of the alchemy room collapsing, Lu Shaoyun, who struggled to get up from the ground with two children in his arms, didn't care about the large and small wounds on his body that kept bleeding outward, and only limped around the burning ruins in front of him and walked towards the main entrance of the alchemy room.

But he didn't walk long, and Lu Shaoyun, who was walking around the raging fire, seemed to hear Xia Shuanghan's voice again.

This was a hoarse, desperate shout, and Lu Shaoyun could almost imagine the appearance of Xia Shuang's cold tears and blood crying from this continuous shouting.

"Lu Shaoyun, don't you, this is not the real moment of life and death, why do you start to have auditory hallucinations all the time?"

Lu Shaoyun, who was staggering in the billowing smoke and dust, saw his subordinates rushing from elsewhere when he heard the explosion, stopped his muttering, and handed over the two children in his arms separately.

Turning around, he was about to walk to the front of the alchemy room and explain the situation to the three subordinates who didn't know that he had survived, when a strong wind blew, and a touch of brown fluttering beside the subordinates instantly attracted Lu Shaoyun's attention.

"It's frost, it's frost, it's frost! It's just, what's going on with Su Yixing next to Frost Cold, why is he holding my Frost Cold? Lu Shaoyun, who was puzzled, couldn't continue to think about it, because he actually saw Xia Shuanghan, who broke free from Su Yixing's arms, spit out a large pool of blood with a "wow".

"Frost! Frost! ”

The strong wind swept away the shouts of summer frost and cold, and by the way, it also brought Lu Shaoyun's call to her ears.

So, Lu Shaoyun, who was running towards Xia Shuanghan, saw Xia Shuanghan, who turned around after hearing his call, struggled to get up from the ground after seeing his figure clearly, and then ran towards him quickly......

"Ting Xuan! Ting Xuan shouted and threw herself into Lu Shaoyun's arms for fear that what she saw was an illusion, she raised her hand and gently stroked Lu Shaoyun's face stained with blood and smoke, looked up and trembled with tears: "Ting Xuan, are you still standing in front of me, right?" I'm not hallucinating, am I? ”

"Yes, I'm fine, you're not hallucinating." Lu Shaoyun, who raised his hand to hold Xia Shuanghan in his arms, couldn't even think about why his sweetheart was in Sanqingguan, and he couldn't even think of raising his hand to wipe away the strings of crystal tears on Xia Shuanghan's face. At this time, all he knew was that his frost was injured and needed urgent treatment. "What's wrong with you Frost, are you suffering serious internal injuries? Why do I vomit blood? Who hurt you? ”

"I'm fine, I'm really fine." Xia Shuanghan, who shook her head and comforted Lu Shaoyun, didn't know how terrible her appearance was that her front placket was stained with blood, and her neck and chin were also flushed. At this time, she only cared about letting her hands roam around Lu Shaoyun's chest and abdomen.

After a while, after Xia Shuanghan concluded that Lu Shaoyun's body was not fatally injured, she hurriedly told everything she knew in her previous life: "Tingxuan, there is a traitor in Jin Wuwei, a person surnamed Cao, his wife has tuberculosis, and he collaborated with the enemy in order to save his wife." ”

Although he didn't know how Xia Shuanghan knew that Cao Shaocong was a traitor, it was impossible for Lu Shaoyun to think about this question at this moment, he quickly replied, "I know, I have already arrested Cao Shaocong", and at the same time pulled the doctor who ran over with the medicine box after seeing him alive in front of Xia Shuanghan, and ordered: "Show her injuries, and you must cure her at all costs." ”

"I didn't-cough-cough-" I was afraid that Lu Shaoyun would suffer from the summer frost of her invisible internal injuries, and no matter where the doctor who was holding her pulse came from, I just wanted the doctor to hurry up and check Lu Shaoyun's pulse first. "I'm okay Tingxuan, I can't die, you hurry up and let the doctor show you first."

"What nonsense!" Seeing that Xia Shuanghan kept coughing up blood foam but refused to obediently let the doctor take her pulse, the anxious Lu Shaoyun stretched out his arms to tie Xia Shuanghan to his side, restrained her moving arms and said, "Are you not obedient, do you want me to die in a hurry?" ”

"I-ahem-ahem-I'm really fine." Xia Shuanghan knew that if Lu Shaoyun couldn't ensure her safety, then it would be impossible for him to accept the doctor's treatment anyway, so she didn't struggle anymore, just waited for the doctor to finish her pulse and then check Lu Shaoyun.

On the wide platform paved with marble, not far behind Xia Shuanghan and Lu Shaoyun, who were treated by the doctors in turn, the three Jin Wuwei, who saw Lu Shaoyun alive at the same time as the doctor, also wanted to rush forward to care about their bosses. It's just that when they saw their deputy commander and a bloodstained Rong woman (?) When they were unclear about hugging and hugging, they chose to stay where they were.

Jin Wuwei, who took the last two children from Lu Shaoyun's arms, ignored the actions of his superiors, and walked to the other doctor who was still taking care of the rest of the children without squinting, and signaled, "These are the last two." ”

The encirclement and suppression operation in Qianshan was still advancing in an orderly manner under the leadership of Lu Shaoyun's deputy, and the Jin Wuwei who came after hearing the explosion around the alchemy room also returned to everyone and continued to carry out their tasks after learning that no colleagues were seriously injured or killed and did not need their reinforcements.

As a result, on the entire platform in front of the alchemy room, only those who didn't know what they should do were Su Yixing and Li Qinglan.

According to the contract issued by Xia Shuanghan, Su Yixing knew that after he led Xia Shuanghan to find Lu Shaoyun, all the grievances between him and Xia Shuanghan would be regarded as a purchase and sale. But now, seeing that Xia Shuanghan and Lu Shaoyun were obviously injured, but they didn't care about their safety at all, and they were only worried about each other's fiancés, whether they were public or private, he had no position to stay, but he didn't leave immediately.

"Great! Tingxuan, you're okay! You're really okay! After the doctor diagnosed that Lu Shaoyun was only injured by flesh injuries and could recover in about half a month, Xia Shuanghan, who was finally relieved, turned around and hugged Lu Shaoyun tightly, crying with joy: "You don't know, just now when I thought you couldn't escape, how desperate and sad I felt in my heart, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay." ”

Lu Shaoyun, who had too many things to say to Xia Shuanghan, had to let go of her and continue her unfinished official duties.

"I don't care, you go get busy!" Reluctantly withdrawing from Lu Shaoyun's embrace, Xia Shuanghan raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face, and instructed: "It's just that you have to be careful, don't get hurt again." Also, I'll be waiting for you in the 'Murder House' tonight, and you'll come to me directly after you get off duty, okay? ”

"Good ......" Looking at the face in front of him full of tears and blood, Lu Shaoyun was really relieved, "You go home alone, what if something happens along the way?" ”

"I'm going to be fine, and ......" suddenly saw Su Yixing's Xia Shuanghan, who was standing in the distance and had not left, and immediately remembered the painting tools and painting materials that she had left behind. Yes, her cloth bag is still in Su Yixing's painting boat!

So, Xia Shuanghan, who decided to take back his things first and then go home, smiled and comforted Lu Shaoyun and said: "Tingxuan, don't worry, today I asked Master Su to make an exception to bring me here, and I will go back to Beijing with him in a while, and there will be no accident." ”

"Lord Su?" Also glancing at Su Yixing, who was standing not far away, Lu Shaoyun finally understood how Xia Shuanghan entered the Sanqing Temple. As for questions such as "how did Shuang Han and Su Yixing meet" and "why did Shuang Han get hurt", he would have asked tonight.

So, Lu Shaoyun, who took Xia Shuanghan's hand and walked in front of Su Yixing, hugged his fists at the expressionless man in front of him. After a few words of greeting, he put forward his own request - asking Su Yixing to take care of Xia Shuanghan on the way back to Beijing.

From Lu Shaoyun's words and attitude, he quickly understood that Su Yixing, who seemed to be mistaken for Xia Shuanghan's friend, did not say the truth in one fell swoop. After all, since the oolong incident on the painting boat has to be written off, then accepting the identity of "Xia Shuanghan's friend" is the best choice for Su Yixing.

So, Su Yixing, who also returned the salute, agreed to Lu Shaoyun's request with the attitude of a friend. After that, he took Xia Shuanghan and Li Qinglan and embarked on the path down the mountain.

"Su Shizi, about all the things today, I hope you will accept what I have to say next." After riding away from Sanqingguan, Xia Shuanghan, who took care of his loose hair, put forward his own handling opinions on the way to Linze Lake with Su Yixing and Li Qinglan.

Xia Shuanghan means that she and Su Yixing met half a month ago in the Zhenqu Pavilion in the west city of the capital because of paintings, and today's coincidence of their meeting in the suburbs of Beijing is only the second time they have met in their lives.

At the beginning of the meeting, Xia Shuanghan was already injured. And because she heard that Xia Shuanghan went out with an injury just to deliver the news to her fiancé, Su Yixing, because of compassion, took out the token of the Criminal Department and took her into Sanqingguan to find someone under Xia Shuanghan's pleading.

"You picked me so clean, then how are you going to explain the cause and process of your injury to Lu Shaoyun?" Su Yixing, who was riding on the horse, didn't ask Xia Shuanghan, how did she suddenly remember that she had something to tell Lu Shaoyun, and she was only curious: "Moreover, you really talk about credit like that, and you will never tell what happened on the painting boat in the future?" ”

"How do I explain to Ting Xuan, that's my business." Swallowing a mouthful of saliva with great effort, Xia Shuanghan, who relieved the burning pain in his throat and eyes for a moment, glanced at Su Yixing beside him contemptuously, and confessed: "As for the things on the painting boat, don't worry, I won't say anything if I die." After all, it is really not worth it to let Ting Xuan confront you for this matter, and do some stupid things in vain in the future. ”

"It turns out that it's not because of credit, but because you can't let Lu Shaoyun do stupid things for you before the fish dies and the net is broken? Also, judging from the affection between you, I'm afraid that I just kissed you on the neck a few times, and Lu Shaoyun will also come to the door with a sword and settle accounts with me after learning what happened. ”

Su Yixing, who was muttering in his heart like this, finally accepted Xia Shuanghan's statement, of course, the mouths of the other people on the painting boat didn't need Xia Shuanghan to worry about, he would naturally seal it. (To be continued.) )
