Chapter 176: Choosing a Side
Mu Jiuxi immediately covered her mouth and nose and entered the passage, she was also afraid that there would be an ambush inside.
The passage is only one room away, and it goes straight down.
It is a stone staircase passage, obviously going out from the underground, after all, the terrain of the shops above cannot be so wide to go out, so it is a tunnel.
Sure enough, when you walk up the stone steps, there is a dirt tunnel, and because people often walk around, the ground is shiny, and every time you pass a distance, you can see this oil lamp embedded in the mud wall.
Mu Jiuxi became more and more frightened the more he walked, this tunnel was very long, and it was not over after walking for a hundred meters, and it was getting more and more humid.
She was sure that Xiao Jian had escaped from this tunnel, and now she was a little afraid in her heart that if Xiao Jian was a spy of the Northern Jin Dynasty, then Xiao Lingyue would also be a spy of the Northern Jin Dynasty.
The three princes are all crippled like this, do they still want to unite with the Northern Jin Dynasty to rebel?
Did Xiao Lingyue give up the third prince and do it herself? Or is the third prince the real mastermind of this spy organization in Gaoyun?
But it's only been three years since the rebellion of the three princes was suppressed, and the three princes want to come back again?
If the third prince didn't know at all, was it Xiao Lingyue himself colluding with the Northern Jin Dynasty? Why? What does she want to do? Doesn't she love ink bottles? But to bring down the high clouds protected by the ink bottle?
Unless she pretends to do everything, and she is ambitious and helps the Northern Jin Dynasty do things, maybe the Northern Jin Dynasty promises benefits that she can't refuse?
The more Mu Jiuxi thought about it, the more she felt that things were far more complicated than she imagined, but maybe it was a real coincidence, and she was guessing.
It's just that she really wants to know the truth.
Mo Bottle, this dog man, must be hiding some secrets!
After a hundred meters, the tunnel began to fork, and on both sides of the passage, Mu Jiuxi chose the right side and saw that there were some other things in the tunnel.
A few oil drums, dry firewood, wooden boxes, this is a protection mechanism, once someone is chased, directly ignited here, the chasing person may be burned or smoked to death.
Mu Jiuxi was originally a little impulsive to blame herself, and came in to find Xiao Jian and startle the snake, but now that she saw this tunnel, she felt that it was worth coming in.
Knowing earlier can prevent a greater tragedy.
When she saw that there was a door at the end of the tunnel, she wondered where was it outside?
Quietly approaching, Yu Fei, who picked up the phoenix, listened carefully and found that there was no sound.
She gently pushed open a gap in the wooden door and looked out, it was not a room, it was a small courtyard, and there were people walking around not far away.
She frowned, and when she looked at it, she couldn't see the courtyard of any place, but Xiao Jian was definitely gone.
There are a lot of wine jars in the yard, and then I saw someone who looked like a little two passing by, guessing that it should be the courtyard of a restaurant.
Then there is no doubt that this restaurant is also a stronghold of spies.
Mu Jiuxi did not go out impulsively, but returned to the fork in the same way, and she went to the left again, and the exit on the left was a dry well at the mouth of the alley by the river.
It was very surprising to Mu Jiuxi, he climbed up from the dry well, poked his head out, and saw the river, which was the river in the city of the imperial city.
Mu Jiuxi knew that it was the Jingfeng River, and there was a small wharf not far away, and there were two black canopy boats on the river by the wharf.
Mu Jiuxi was secretly frightened, and after thinking for a while, he turned around and returned to the Hefeng shop.
At this moment, the Hefeng shop has been fully controlled by the soldiers, and the junior two and the guests inside will be reviewed one by one before they are released.
When Mu Jiuxi saw his father Mu Tianxing, he saw that he was bandaging his arm, and he was so frightened that he immediately ran over and said urgently: "Dad, are you injured?" ”
