Black, still black! Is the dungeon too big, or are they just spinning in circles? It seems that you want to walk endlessly in the dark, but you have to choose a dark place to walk. Because where the soldiers passed, torches would be lit, and where there was light, they would definitely not be able to walk.

Walking around, there are still cells supported by beams and columns, or sealed walls.

"Young master, we seem to be lost!" Chao Yan said worriedly as he looked around.

Green Hui suddenly stopped and booed, "Don't go yet, everyone!" ”

At this time, she remembered what Lu Yan had told her before, in a labyrinth, if you have lost your way and have no clue about the laws of the labyrinth, it is best to stop where you are, with a wisp of impatient feelings, and quietly think about the way you came. It's not necessarily useful, but it's better than running around. And this dungeon is not a labyrinth at all, but the layout is too similar to give people a feeling of vertigo and dreadiness, especially for people like them who habitually stop their brains in the race against death.

Midori thought quietly, the darkness seemed to help calm her impetuous heart. If you think about it, there are some differences, for example, some cells are related to prisoners, some are not closed, but the visibility in the dungeon is low, and it is a little difficult to identify.

In such a confusing place, it must be difficult for prisoners to escape. I don't know who came up with it in the first place.

While he was pondering, there was a faint "boom" not far away, like the sound of a door being shut. They had to stop or they would have missed the sound.

Lu Hui and Chao Yan glanced at each other, and then said in unison, "Over there!" The hands pointed in unison in the direction they thought the sound would come from.

Several people hurried in that direction.

The sound probably came from here, but there was another wall in front of it, a wall that was not different from the one I had encountered before.

Could it be that the previous voice was just an auditory hallucination? Several people couldn't help but doubt their hearing.

Green Club approached the wall, pressed her ears against the wall, and tapped it with her hand, listening carefully as she tapped the sound.

Everyone was a little puzzled.

What Green Hui was thinking at the moment was that this was a dungeon, built under the ground, and if there was to be an exit to the outside, it would have to go through a tunnel in the middle. In this case, the sound of the wall connected to the tunnel should be different from that of other walls, because the medium of sound propagation is already different, and there will be complex echo differences. But if you really want to tell the difference, it's very difficult, because the difference is really not big.

Midori kept tapping on the wall, but she didn't hear anything out of the ordinary. Just as she was about to lose heart, she heard Chao Yan pointing to the place where she was standing and whispering: "Young master, look, it's an ant!" After speaking, he turned his head to look at other places, and added: "And it seems that there is only one here, and the others are not available for the time being!" ”

Hearing this, Lu Hui hurriedly walked over, tapped the wall a few times where the ants were found, and then knocked elsewhere, and then said with a little excitement: "It should be here!" ”

The other two also hurried over, and the faces of the four of them, which had been dead and gray, finally showed a faint smile.

But how do you open it? This is another problem that everyone is facing.

"Grope around to see if there's a switch or something?" Green Hui opened his mouth.

So everyone began to figure it out. A moment later, Lu Hui pressed a slightly concave place on the wall compared to other places, and the square wall in front of him, about a human high, rotated ninety degrees with its center as the axis, and with a bang, the wall door was opened! It's pitch black outside, presumably the so-called "tunnel".

Everyone was ecstatic. After closing the door, he immediately followed the "tunnel" to the final exit.

The tunnel is not long. After about a quarter of an hour, everyone finally escaped from the dark dungeon, basking in the sunlight that had not been seen for a long time.

The exit of the tunnel was in a forest on the outskirts of the Imperial City, and it was discovered that this dungeon was really large, and the exit from the entrance to this side almost spanned a large forest.

Beiyi is a snow city, in winter, snowflakes are like opening the floodgates in the sky, and there will be a thick cold current brewing one after another heavy snow every day, and then the next ocean is sprinkled, and the next one is unscrupulous. But in recent days, it seems to have changed his temperament, especially tame, and he hasn't been so violent anymore. The sun doesn't seem to be so afraid of the cold anymore, and it quietly comes out to show its face at noon these days. Although the sun is not so fierce, it is already a charcoal in the snow for Chao Yan and the others who are thinly dressed.

Several people supported each other and walked in the snow-covered woods with deep and shallow feet, and the haze on their faces could not be concealed, and they escaped, but on such a cold day, if they did not find a place to stay, they were afraid that they would also freeze to death.

Lu Hui was already recovering from a serious illness, and with the toss in prison, his face was so white that he could compete with the snow on the ground.

The other three were not much better, first they were injured during the assassination of the emperor, then they were abused in prison, and they didn't know how long they could last.

"Young master, why don't we go back to Danqing Palace first! If we continue like this, we will die here! The Danqing Palace woman named "Yun'er" said.

Chao Yan immediately glanced at her and replied: "Go back and die faster, they must be waiting for us to rush in!" ”

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at the green hui, whose consciousness had gradually blurred, and said anxiously and hesitantly: "Young master, what do you say we should do, the officers and soldiers don't know if they are still looking for the exit of the dungeon and chasing after us, because we seem to have disappeared out of thin air, and they will definitely not give up." The Man in Black also doesn't know when he will reappear. Danqing Palace is absolutely unable to go back. After a while, when the news of our flight is confirmed, the officers and soldiers will surely be looking for us all over the city. We...... Seem...... There's no place to stay! ”

After listening to Chao Yan's words, Lu Hui's mind seemed to be a little clearer, and a solemn look flashed between his eyes, their current situation is indeed like what Chao Yan said, there are wolves in front of them and tigers in the back, and there are cliffs on the left and right, and a feeling of exhaustion comes to them.

Cheering up, she pondered for a while and said: "With our current state, we will not be able to escape from Beiyi City for a while and a half, and now we have no choice, we can only find a place to settle down in the city first, and pray that the most dangerous place is also the safest place!" ”

After thinking about it, Lu Hui continued to say solemnly: "Now the officers and soldiers are probably still searching for us in the dungeon, I hope they haven't found out that we have escaped, otherwise the imperial city will definitely seal all the exits, and then we will wait to be caught in the urn." So, we have to be fast! ”

Others no longer had objections and began to pick up the pace. Although they were too tired to support their hurried steps, they gritted their teeth and ran all the way through a neglected side gate to the east of the palace. When leaving, they didn't forget to change into the costumes of the gatekeepers who were solved by their own hands.

Out of the palace gate, the four of them walked all the way to the southeast and entered the downtown area of Beiyi City, and the commercial area of Beiyi is located in the southeast of the city. In order to hide people's eyes, the four of them divided into two stacks, one for Luhui and Chaoyan, one for Yun'er and Ningshuang, and changed out of the soldier's clothes on their bodies.

Because the money was almost used when she bribed the jailers in prison, Chaoyan and the others were even more penniless, so in desperation, Lu Hui had no choice but to use the belt that Gongsun Li gave her again. All she wanted now was that she would redeem the belt before someone else left.

Kaleidoscope, belt, think about it this way, every time it was Gongsun Li who gave her something that saved her at the moment of life and death! I don't know how he's doing now.

At the banquet, she didn't care about the others, but she seemed to see him fighting with Danqing Palace and the others in a daze. His arm was injured, but fortunately, they were also there at the banquet that day, and I hope he is okay.

Thinking about it, Green Hui's heart tugged. He must have scolded her for being a "crazy woman" again, and he ran over to "send her to death", isn't it crazy? She could still imagine his angry and helpless expression!

I don't know why, since the last time we met, although she has always been more energetic with him on her lips, she is still silently moved in her heart. He must really care about her! Anyway, let her think it is wishful thinking! It's just, why think about it, she has an inexplicable sense of happiness!

Maybe it's because the world is cold in the first place, how can she survive if she keeps imagining countless enemies? So she prefers to think on the bright side. Even if it's self-deception!

After such a farewell, I don't know when I will be able to meet them, as well as Lu Han and Xiaocao. When people are down, they will always miss the warmth of the past, reminiscing over and over again, chewing over and over again, until there is a new warmth to replace it.

Get rid of the compassion and compassion, or continue to face the cruel reality. Green Hui thought helplessly.

In the evening, the four of them gathered together to discuss their escape plans for tomorrow.

Lu Hui spoke first: "It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, and a large number of officers and soldiers will definitely come to search the city tomorrow." We can only stay here for one night, refresh ourselves and get out of here tomorrow! ”

"Where to go?" The other three asked in unison.

"Dongli!" Green Club replied.

Yun'er seemed a little puzzled, frowned, and asked suspiciously, "Shouldn't you go to Nanzhen?" We're going to go there and steal the antidote to the 'Phantom Gu'!" ”

Lu Hui nodded and said, "Nanzhu must go, just take a detour to Dongli first!" ”

Yun'er was even more puzzled, "If Beiyi goes to Nanzhi, isn't it closer to Yuliang, why bother going to Dongli and then go around to Nanzhi?" ”

Green Hui knew that they would definitely ask, so he explained it to them in detail.

Beiyi is due north of Chongye, Nanzhu is due south, there are three routes to go from Beiyi to Nanzhi, the transfer stations are Dongli, Yuliang and Xixi, but only this line through Yuliang is a straight line, and the distance is the shortest.

Of course, this route is their first choice, but what they can think of, others must want to think of too. Moreover, anyone who cares will know that the transactions between Beiyi and Nanzhi, whether bright or dark, are more frequent than other places, and of course they will choose the nearest route.

The reason why Yuliang has become an important gateway for north-south trade is because inland waterway shipping in this area is developed. Yuliang is dominated by plains, with a pleasant climate and abundant precipitation, resulting in abundant river flows, which is conducive to navigation and has become a necessary place for north-south trade. And the more frequent the trade, the more checkpoints along the road will increase, which will inevitably be unfavorable for them who are about to be wanted by the whole country.

Now they are better to avoid places with a lot of people.

Excluding Yu Liang, is the rest to choose Dongli or Xiyue? Selfishly, Green Hui still wants to go to Dongli to open his eyes. Dongli is indeed a mysterious and alluring place for Green Hui. Dongli's school of things is the last school to rise among several schools, but it shows a trend of catching up later. Despite being a rising star, it is still hundreds of years ahead of the emergence of ancient Chinese physics.

In such a context, how can Greenhouse not yearn for it? Not only that, the leaders of their school are also full of mystery, among several schools, the one that Lu Hui knows the most is perhaps the Ning family of Dongli, Ning Que She has only met once at the Jingshan Coronation Conference, and he was also absent from the emperor's wedding this time, and only sent one of his cousins to attend on his behalf.

According to legend, he was originally the image of a young man with white hair, and all those who knew him respected him as a "wise man", and later he invented a miracle medicine, and his hair came back black, so Ning Que that Lu Hui saw at the coronation meeting in Jingshan was still a young man with black hair.

After listening to Luhui's explanation, everyone also agreed to go to Dongli first, and then go to Nanzhi when the wind is not so tight.

Seeing that everyone did not object, Green Hui made a concluding speech: "Then it is decided." Tomorrow, the officers and soldiers will search the city, and everyone should be careful. As the New Year approaches, the flow of people on the streets will inevitably increase, and it will be more difficult for officers and men to conduct inspections. ”

Suddenly remembering something again, Lu Hui instructed with a solemn face: "Remember, be careful of the man in black!" They are in the dark, we are in the light, and they will not care about the people, it is easier to act, we must always be on guard against their sudden attacks! ”

This group of men in black has indeed disturbed their hearts, their origin is unknown, they are ruthless, their whereabouts are uncertain, and they also know where the secret passage of the dungeon is, which is definitely not to be underestimated.

The crowd nodded. At this point, the assembly ended, and Yun'er and Ningshuang returned to their inn. Tonight, it's going to be another sleepless night!
