------Off topic------

"Isn't that too much to ask?"

"......" she was still stunned.

"Can you heal my hand before you die?"

He smiled lightly, looking at her sunken eyes and stunned little face, and slowly wrapped the gauze around it, and smiled.

"No hindrance, people have flaws, it is perfect."

A great change, Zhao Zhu died, and Dongfang Qingxuan was disabled, but why is she alive?

Such a perfect [one] [this read] novel xstxt man, but broke his hand......

I saw that his left hand, which was so beautiful that she had been jealous of her countless times, was gone. The wound that has not yet healed, a blur of flesh and blood, and the white miserable bones can be seen...... Contrasting with his unparalleled beauty and national style, this wound has undoubtedly become the most cruel kind of destruction in the world.

Xia Chuqi exclaimed in a low voice, his voice was hoarse, and his throat seemed to be choked.

"Dongfang Qingxuan, your hand?"

Xia Chuqi was slightly stunned, but Dongfang Qingxuan didn't answer, just good-looking eyes, staring at her with a brilliant smile, staring at her for a moment, and then, he gently raised his left hand, the left hand that he didn't want to show in front of her, and retreated the gauze wrapped around it with a relaxed expression......

"Who do I owe?"

Dongfang Qingxuan's face turned cold, and the cold air at that moment was almost as if the hood was on her, but the voice returned to its usual soft smile, "You only care about going to him to collect debts, have you ever thought that you still owe other people's debts and need to pay them off?" ”

"Miss Seven."

Xia Chuqi's eyes were faint, looking at him clearly, but he seemed to be talking to himself, "I shouldn't have begged for death like that." Either way, I'll have to find him before I can be buried with him......"

"Got it?" Dongfang Qingxuan pursed his lips slightly.

This sentence, she replied in a very unrelated way.

After a moment's hesitation, she suddenly said, "I was a little impulsive before. ”

"It's decided?"

With a light "oh", Dongfang Qingxuan raised his eyebrows.

"You don't have to be sarcastic about me, Grand Duke. Martyrdom may seem ridiculous to you. But for me, it's not terrible to die. I'm afraid that people are alive and their souls are gone. What is the difference between such a person and the walking dead? ”

Xia Chuqi looked at him, moved his mouth, and did not refute.

"What? Still want to go with him? ”

"Is this called cruelty? Oh, this seat is for you to know the facts. Dongfang Qingxuan stood beside the bed, dressed in a red robe as bright as fire, with a long back as before, phoenix eyes squinted slightly, meeting her red rabbit-like eyes, and the smile on her face brought out an extremely soft light.

Swallowing, she looked at him blankly, "Why do you have to be so cruel?" ”

Another sentence of "scooping up corpses" made Xia Chuqi's heart shrink into a ball.

Looking at her suddenly pale face, Dongfang Qingxuan still smiled lightly, and had to grind every word into a sharp knife tip and poke it into her heart, "Miss Seven, that place is close to the crater, it is full of boiling water, the water is extremely deep, the lake is wide, and there is a lot of sand and gravel that has sunk, many soldiers have been injured, and the corpses are not so fast." ”

"He? You mean to say his corpse? ”

"Is there any progress? He...... Did you find it? ”

Xia Chuqi called him in a hoarse voice, she didn't like to hear the phrase "others are gone", but after all, her body was weak, even if she wanted to scold, her voice was weak.

"Oriental Qingxuan ......"

"Miss Seven, how much silver does His Royal Highness the King of Jin owe you? This person is gone, and you're still talking? ”

Dongfang Qingxuan withdrew his hand impatiently, looking at her suddenly cooled face when she turned her head, the corners of her lips were raised, and she twisted her cold fingertips almost invisibly, lazily twisted her sore neck, and smiled lightly.

"Are you awake?"

"Zhao Nineteen ......?"

But now, there is a feeling that I don't know what year it is.

Not long ago, she and Zhao Zhu had a quarrel in this bed.

In front of her was the camp she was familiar with......

She pouted angrily, tightened his hand, and was about to scold, but his wrist was tightly held by him. She was startled, the originally dark sky suddenly brightened, and the harsh white light made her tremble and open her eyes slightly.

"Girl, I learned this from you."

"Hah, when did you get so thick-skinned?"

"Fool, the lord is more valuable than money."

"I don't want people, I want money."

"Master's people are all yours."

"Zhao Nineteen, how much silver do you owe me?"

She grinned and leaned over him.

Xia Chuqi trekked hard, feeling that the road ahead was too long. And this night, which never seems to dawn, is too dark. Fortunately, Zhao Shijiu has always held her hand, no matter whether the snow is falling or the cold wind is blowing. The two of them were riding horses on the Xilin Gol grassland, and on the head of the big bird's horse, there were big horses and small horses, which made the big bird shake its nose and get angry, like roaring and treating it unfairly.

In this vast land, the figure of the Great Yan Army can be seen everywhere.

The cold wind swept through Yin Mountain.

……

However, he could not use his other hand to pull a thin quilt for himself.

He leaned against the edge of the couch, and the heat from the palms he held slowly poured into his heart, bringing out a burst of astringency on his face. After some time, he sighed and finally closed his eyes.

The lights in the tent flickered, and the night was getting colder and colder.

With that, he turned his head again and glanced at her coldly, but he didn't let go of his hand.

"He who despises life is hateful! This seat is extremely disgusting. ”

He whispered, his face uncertain, slightly mocking.

"You, who wanted to die or live for Zhao Mianze, said that you would rather give up your life span for ten, twenty, thirty, or forty years for him. At that time, how much did you think he could win against Zhao Zhu. Now, for the sake of Zhao Zhu, you have to die or live. But this time, not only do you have to give up ten, twenty, thirty, or forty years of life, but you would rather give him your life as well. ”

Looking at her hesitantly, he finally stopped withdrawing his hand, but only held her back comfortingly, and watched motionlessly, until she fell asleep again, and he sneered sarcastically.

Probably because of the high fever, she was not very clear, her palms were wet, but her strength was great. Dongfang Qingxuan's fingers twitched slightly, wanting to take it back, but she choked him again, with nervousness and fear, she didn't let go at all, so tight that his palms were also wet with sweat.

"Don't ...... Father...... Don't leave me ......"

Tightly, she was like grasping a life-saving driftwood, her hands were trembling, and her body was trembling.

The corners of her mouth quivered, and she grabbed his hand.

"Master...... You...... Still ......"

"Get a good night's sleep."

It was like she was having a nightmare, her voice was whimpering, like she was crying, her body twisted and struggled. Dongfang Qingxuan glanced at Zheng Erbao, who was already asleep sitting there with his head down, slowly got up and walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, and tucked the quilt for her.

Zhao Nineteen...... Zhao 19......"

It's like a grunt, like a shout, and like a struggle, and it doesn't really sound very good, but Dongfang Qingxuan knows that she must be shouting Zhao Zhu. Glancing over his head, his slender white fingers supported his forehead, and the emotions on his face were extremely complicated.

In a coma with a high fever, she muttered.

"Zhao Nineteen ......"

Xia Chuqi on the bed changed into a moon-white dry clothes, her face looked whiter, her chin was sharp and thin, she didn't know what she thought of in the coma, her eyebrows were tightly frowned, her hands were tightly pressed into the quilt, as if she was immersed in great pain, and her lips were trembling all the time.

The lights were bright, and the smell of medicine in the air was very strong.

"Whatever you want."

Dongfang Qingxuan looked at him and lowered his eyelids.

"Thank you for your concern for the minions. But the slave is used to waiting for his master, and if he doesn't wait for a day, he will feel uncomfortable...... My grandfather is not here, and the servants have to serve my princess well. ”

He said good-naturedly, it was really sincere comfort, but Zheng Erbao looked at him with red eyes, like looking at a wolf with bad intentions, his attitude was respectful, but his voice refused to show weakness.

"Erbao father-in-law, you haven't closed your eyes all these days, go take a break?"

Seeing him like this, Dongfang Qingxuan ignored him, asked him to bring water, put on his forehead for Xia Chuqi, and went out of the door, explained a few words of defense to Rufeng, and then turned back, closed the door, and sat on a chair not far from the bed exhausted.

"Otherwise, when my master comes back, he will have to blame the slave......"

At this, his eyes were hot, and he choked again.

"The minions are guarding here, not going anywhere."

He stood with his hands down, his eyes not squinting, but he refused to leave.

But Zheng Erbao is a hard-tempered eunuch, who has been following Zhao Zhu for a long time, and the pain in the past two days is no less than anyone else's. If it weren't for the fact that Chu Qi was still there, he himself went with Zhao Bottle, where would he be afraid of Dongfang Qingxuan?

Sun Zhengye was an old master, sighed, and retreated with a red face.

How strong Chu Qi's character is, they all know it. With her temperament, if she wakes up, it is very likely that she will go with Zhao Zhu, and they really can't stop it.

Sun Zhengye and Zheng Erbao glanced at each other and choked on him.

"Who of you can stop it? Is it you, or are you? ”

Seeing his anti-thief thoughts, Dongfang Qingxuan pinched his brows, smiled enchantingly, sat down on the chair, and asked with a soft smile: "But now that your master is gone, if she wakes up, she is bent on death...... paused slightly, and his gaze shifted from Sun Zhengye's face to Zheng Erbao's face.

"Metropolitan Governor, Chu Xiaolang is the master of my family, and the slave will wait."

But the two of them went down obediently, Sun Zhengye glanced at Dongfang Qingxuan, but the person did not leave. The same is true of the other Zheng Erbao, his mind to defend Zhao Zhu is heavier than Sun Zhengye, squeezing his red and swollen eyes, he finally opened a slit, and his broken sharp voice is a lot rougher. It's even worse than usual.

"Yes, Grand Duke." The first to answer were two Maiko who came to take care of Xia Chuqi temporarily. Because they are women, it is much more convenient to change her clothes and wipe her body, so she was specially brought by Dongfang Qingxuan.

"Go down, all of you."

After the eighth room, and after three days of returning to the light and returning to the building, her originally weak body could no longer support it after this excitement. In the past three days, she has been feverish, Sun Zhengye was anxious to prescribe countless prescriptions, the corners of her mouth were on fire, and there were several big sores. Zheng Erbao was also waiting beside him with a handful of snot and tears, and he looked like he was in tears, and he saw Dongfang Qingxuan frowning.

For three whole days, I was groggy and never woke up.

I slept a little long on the seventh night of the summer month.

……

"General Right, this seat is only a supervisor of the army, not the commander of the army, now that His Royal Highness the King of Jin is not here, the Beidi army is not going, you have to put more effort into it."

Looking at his suddenly flushed face, Dongfang Qingxuan snorted lightly, brushed his sleeves and walked in front, leaving only one sentence.

"You...... You fucking bullshit! ”

"What does this seat have in mind, General Right may not have it?"

After a long time, I heard Dongfang Qingxuan laugh mockingly.

Two equally handsome men, their eyes just met.

Dongfang Qingxuan looked at him, and the corners of his lips raised.

"So what?" Yuan Yu raised his eyebrows.

"General Right seems to have forgotten that she is not your blood sister."

Just like he didn't hear his sarcasm, Dongfang Qingxuan was not angry, just smiled lightly, and looked at Yuan You without blinking, his voice was soft, but the words were like thorns.

"Lord Dongfang, don't blame me for not reminding you, although Tianlu is gone, but my sister, you don't want to think about it...... Hmph, don't think I can't see your little bit of weasel heart. ”

Yuan You glanced at the thick gauze on his left wrist, Danfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he finally swallowed back the depression in his heart, but he didn't forget the words that should remind him.

"I'm looking for Dr. Sun to change the medicine."

Dongfang Qingxuan's lips tugged, still smiling.

"Why are you following me?"

"Hmm", Dongfang Qingxuan didn't speak, but Yuan You walked in front, and then he also followed, walking towards Zhao Zhu's big tent. Yuan Yu stopped abruptly, turned his head, and stared at him with a cold gaze.

"I'm too lazy to talk to you, I'll take a look at my sister-in-law."

Yuan Yu gritted his teeth and looked sideways, "Scold you." After that, he didn't care about Dongfang Qingxuan's expression, he snorted and stood up.

"Scolding whom?"

Dongfang Qingxuan raised his eyebrows, and then smiled.

"Son of a bitch......"

Yuan Yu's eyes were red, and he glared at him viciously.

"Blame?"

Dongfang Qingxuan looked at the brazier in the tent, with a cold smile on his face reflected in the firelight, "General Right, this battle lasted more than a year, not to mention the loss of labor and money, last time His Majesty gave the king of Jin from the Jingshi, he already had the intention of retiring the army." Come to think of it, the holy decree will soon reach Yinshan. At that time, the Northern Expeditionary Army will have to withdraw its troops. Therefore, we have to hurry up to find the King of Jin, and it is best not to fight Beidi Xingbing again because of the matter of the imperial tomb, this matter is ...... Speaking of which, it is Dayan's loss. ”

"What if it's not good? Are we afraid they won't make it? ”

Sighing lightly, Yuan Yu sneered, as if it didn't matter.

After hearing this, Dongfang Qingxuan smiled lightly, and his fingers supported his forehead tiredly, "Whoever changes the grave of the ancestor has been dug up, and he will have to be on fire...... It seems that they are not willing to give up. ”

"This time, the attitude of the Beidi Tartars is extremely tough."

After a pause, he talked about meeting Agu again.

"It's time to report the funeral."

Now, he has a bottom in his heart...... After this catastrophe, falling into the boiling water, and after these few days, how can there be a way to live? Glancing at Dongfang Qingxuan, he nodded.

The corners of Yuan You's lips were pursed, and his eyes were cold, but he didn't answer.

"Little grandpa doesn't have to lift me up. What this seat is doing now is only doing its duty and duty. Now, we should still think about how to report the funeral to the imperial court. ”

Dongfang Qingxuan's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled noncommittally.

"It's not in vain that you have a fellowship with Tianlu."

Previously, how Yuan You looked at Dongfang Qingxuan, how unpleasant it was. But looking at his rescue of Zhao Zhu and his care for Xia Chuqi in the past few days, it can be said that he is not unsatisfied, and he really can't find a trace of fault, and his opinion has changed slightly.

Then there was a long silence.

How can this be done with a few days of rest?

He said it lightly, but Yuan You smiled bitterly.

"The old grandson said that there is no big problem, but he is too weak, and he will be fine after a few days of rest."

"What's wrong with her?"

After all, there was Yuan Yu who spoke first.

The solemn atmosphere makes the air pressure in the space extremely low.

Dongfang Qingxuan took care of Sun Zhengye and Zheng Erbao, and he went to visit Xia Tingde, who was injured and unconscious. Then, in the big tent, he saw Yuanyu. The two sat opposite each other, with different thoughts, and did not speak for a moment.

Xia Chuqi was placed in Zhao Zhu's original camp.

……

……

"Find a way to fish, no matter what, we must also salvage the body of King Jin."

Seeing Rufeng silently hugging him up, Dongfang Qingxuan's sweaty forehead was dripping with hot sweat, and when he looked back at the steaming lake, he finally calmed down, smiled lightly, and ordered everyone.

After a few tries, I couldn't even pick up the waist.

His left hand hung down, and his right hand held her tightly.

Seeing her fall softly in her arms, Dongfang Qingxuan pursed her lips, hugged her waist tightly, and shouted "like the wind", her appearance was extremely poignant, and her expression was indescribably distorted on that beautiful face like a flower.

Struggling with exhaustion, her eyes went dark.

Without Zhao Shijiu, even if there are tens of millions of people in front of her, to her, it is nothing.

She couldn't see anything, she couldn't hear anything.

It's dark in front of your eyes, and your ears are "buzzing".

The belief she had always held on to was gone, and she was as soft as a ball of cotton.

She cried out weakly, like a mad beast, her face as if she had been skinned, her face was flushed, her appearance was hideous, but her eyes were empty. He was watching him shout, but he didn't see himself in her eyes.

"Oriental Qingxuan...... Let me go...... I'm going to settle accounts with him, I can't let him bully me like that...... I can't cheapen him, I'm going to tear off his flesh...... I'm going to bite him to death......"

"You madman! It's not like this to die. ”

But in Mandarin Duck Pond, she had already done such a thing once, Dongfang Qingxuan had already noticed her abnormality, how could she give her such a chance again? Almost instantly, he grabbed her with one hand.

With that, she jumped into the boiling water.

Could it be that she couldn't chase him to the Hades Palace?

I think she chased him from Qinggang County to Jingshi. From Jingshi, he chased him to Lulongsai. From Lu Longsai, he chased him to Mobei. From Mobei, he chased him to Yinshan again. Along the way, she has also chased him all the way.

Looking at Dongfang Qingxuan's puzzled look, she smiled.

"Huh?"

She pursed her lips, her lips trembled a few times, and she actually laughed out loud, "So, I can't just spare him so easily." ”

"Yes, he's a big liar."

Dongfang Qingxuan's eyebrows raised slightly, "Yes, he is a very good liar." ”

"He's a liar."

Everyone was looking at her with pity, but she was lost in her own thoughts, and after a while, she slowly turned her face sideways and looked at Dongfang Qingxuan.

But sometimes, I can't cry, and it's more uncomfortable than crying.

She choked lowly, but didn't cry.

He deceived her that the little golden tiger was stolen, deceived her into signing a deed of sale, deceived her into becoming his slave, deceived her of all her silver, deceived her heart, deceived her kiss, deceived her body, deceived her of everything, and deceived her into eternal separation from him......

"Zhao Nineteen, you liar, liar!"

She roared, and her voice was hoarse, almost shattered.

"Zhao Nineteen, can you hear it? You're talking. ”

She shouted in a low voice, then with all her might.

"Zhao Nineteen, where are you?"

The emotions that had been forcibly endured before collapsed and poured out.

Xia Chuqi muttered, and the rising hope fell to the bottom in an instant. She couldn't figure it out, Ming Ming Jiayi was in the water, he said that the water was hot, but he was fine...... It proves that it was not boiling water then, why is it boiling water now? Looking at the black, turbid boiling lake, she stood on the high rocks, and finally sat down weakly with her knees crossed.

"No...... How so? How so? ”

"Dadu, it's boiling water, it's boiling water."

By this time, say that it is not boiling water, and no one will believe it anymore.

He was poisoned by Bai Meisheng, lost consciousness and hallucinated, so he fell down. However, the situation is not at all the same as the "oil pot principle" imagined by Xia Chuqi, the man shouted in the misty boiling water, struggled a few times, and then screamed heartbreakingly, his outstretched hand, and his face floating outside, was scalded red, and his eyes were round and painful, which was extremely hideous.

"It's Bai Meisheng."

Someone was screaming and shouting his name.

A soldier who had been standing on the stone pile and watching, suddenly hugged his head, breathed in pain, and rolled into the boiling water below as soon as his body went limp.

At this moment, a scream of "ah" suddenly came from my ears.

But Dongfang Qingxuan grabbed her wrist and didn't go into her.

She spoke extremely quickly, and her nerves were in an inexplicable state of euphoria.

He was surprised, but Xia Chuqi didn't have time to explain so much to him, so he just walked down the slope briskly, walking towards the boiling water, and said to Dongfang Qingxuan, who was following closely, "Have you ever seen the stunt performance of a Jianghu artist fishing for the key in the oil pot?" That's all coaxing. I guess there is something like borax at the bottom of the lake, and when it is heated, it produces a lot of bubbles, and it looks like the water is boiling...... In fact, although the upper water temperature is hot, it is far from reaching the boiling point. Quick, go down and get people. ”

"What frying pan?"

"Governor, this is an oil pot, an oil pot."

Looking at the bubbling and amazingly hot water, Xia Chuqi's mind flashed with inspiration, and he suddenly realized that he tightly grasped Dongfang Qingxuan's sleeve and roared excitedly.

"Miss Seven!" Dongfang Qingxuan stopped her, "You don't want to die." ”

Xia Chuqi said, gritting his teeth, he was about to step forward.

"Don't believe me? I'll go down and give it a try. ”

They were even thinking that from "returning to the light and shining building" to "gold everywhere", it was simply a conjecture that she had after she was born in Bai Meisheng, and it never existed. Even, they are thinking, His Royal Highness King Jin...... It's not what she imagined.

Everyone was looking at her with suspicion.

Looking at the boiling water that was still bubbling "gurgling", no one believed her words. It's too hot to get close to the ground, and you can imagine how hot the water is. What's more, now that this piece of space has been dug out, no one has seen the "Huiguang Huizhao Building" that Xia Chuqi said, and no one has seen half of the gold she said, and the previous sense of trust has been much lower.

"No, it's clearly boiling water."

Xia Chuqi told him what Jia Yi said. Of course, she did some processing about the part where Jia Yi heard her "voice" with Zhao Bottle, but according to her account, no matter what, at least it can be confirmed that Jia Yi was in this lake at the time. He's fine, so how can it be boiling water?

"How do you know?"

Hearing her hoarse but hopeful voice, Dongfang Qingxuan turned his head and looked at her with a frown, a bewitching and handsome face, frozen, slightly complicated.

"The water in here is hot, but it's not boiling."

In a hurry, she stepped forward and raised her voice.

As soon as Xia Chuqi came out of the Heavenly Ladder Stone Cave, he happened to hear this.

"It's not! Not boiling water......"

"Boiling water is indeed ......"

A soldier stood on a boulder of earth and tentatively probed into the lake that had been opened, only to see that the water was scorching, and it was still bubbling with "gurgling" heat, so he couldn't help but take a step back, and gasped in fright.

"The Grand Duke! It's boiling water, you can't dig any longer......"

However, as we approached the boiling lake, the heat became more intense, and the excavation came to a halt once again. The lake was filled with mud, sand, bricks and stones, but the temperature did not seem to have been affected except for the rising water level of the boiling lake, and under the light of the torches, the mist was still there, and the scorching heat of fumigation was blowing in the face.

Nowadays, most of the excavators gather at this slope and dig in.

In one place close to the stone wall, there is a slope of a mound of earth and boulders.

The boiling lake also shows the tip of its iceberg.

Slowly, I finally dug to the bottom.

Although there are many dangers, although there will be flying sand and rocks, mud and gravel at any time, the greatness of human beings is that they can always do extraordinary things. Here, it once again confirms the truth that there is great power in numbers, and the layers of gravel and masonry piled up on the boiling lake were finally picked up little by little, and the soil that was picked out was transported to it in baskets.

Excavations on the site of the "Huiguang Huizhao Building" continue.

……

"You rest first, and I'll come back to see you."

Choked in her throat, she briskly tugged at Jiayi's quilt.

He can hold on until now, she doesn't believe that Zhao Shijiu will not be able to hold on.

Jiayi's ability to survive in the boiling lake proves that the water is not boiling.

The injuries on his body were dealt with by Sun Zhengye, but Xia Chuqi also handled it, as a doctor, she could see that most of those injuries came from the smashing injuries when they collapsed, and they were definitely not scalds from boiling water.

"I don't know, Boiling Lake...... What is it? The water is very hot and hot...... Scalded people...... It's so uncomfortable......"

Jia frowned and shook his head, his breath was extremely weak.

"In the boiling water lake, it's not boiling water, is it?"

Thinking that he might have heard what she and Zhao Tsu did, the tips of Xia Chuqi's ears burned slightly, but he didn't have time to think about this, and went straight to the point again.

Jia Yi fell from the Mandarin Duck Pond, and instead of falling on the Huiguang Huizhao Tower, he fell directly into the boiling lake, so Zhao Zhu didn't see him. Because of this, he could hear her and Zhao Zhu's voices. But the medicine at the bottom of the lake is stronger, and his consciousness is completely controlled by Bai Meisheng, and he is not very sober.

Xia Chuqi pursed his lips abruptly, probably understood.

She didn't shy away from asking questions impatiently. But glancing at Rufeng on the side, A's body stiffened, and he said in a low voice, "No...... Listen too clearly...... You speak rarely...... I'm very conscious...... I was holding on to the chain and trying to get up...... It is surrounded by stone walls, and it is impossible to climb ...... I want to shout...... I can't shout ......."

"Boss A, what did you hear?"

Xia Chuqi's eyes were cold, at this time, she already recognized Zhao Zhu as her husband, she couldn't care about being shy, and she didn't care if what Jia heard was her voice with Zhao Zhu, she just wanted to be sure of one thing.

"What?"

At this point, A seemed to react to something and shut his mouth.

"I ...... I seem to ...... I heard you ...... with Your Highness"

Speaking of this, he moistened his lips, as if he had thought of something, his head wrapped in gauze was tilted, and his eyes looked at Xia Chuqi's face that was close at hand.

Xia Chuqi had to lean over his chest and put his ear close to his lips before he heard him say, "The water is hot...... Hot ...... My brain ...... I don't remember clearly, the water was so deep that I choked on the water and my throat was ...... Can't shout...... The feet can't touch the bottom, and there are chains in the water...... Yes, there are chains, and I have been dragging at them, and my consciousness is very weak...... Afterward...... The earth shakes the mountains and shakes ......"

A opened her lips, her voice so small that she could barely hear it.

"What kind of water?"

was suffocated in his heart, and Xia Chuqi's thoughts turned around, and his eyes lit up.

Jia Yi shook his head and said in a hoarse voice, "I...... Didn't see ...... I fell into the water......"

Pursing the corners of her lips tightly, she asked again with a dry voice, "Then you fell down from the Mandarin Duck Pond, did you see a light back building?" ”

He struggled to spit out a few words, and Xia Chuqi finally understood.

"I didn't ...... See...... Your Highness ......"

A nodded, and the voice of the exit was as thin as a gossamer.

"Jiayi, can you speak?"

Xia Chuqi didn't hear it too clearly. Frowning, she lowered her head close to him, looked closely, and found that in addition to the injuries on his body, his vocal cords seemed to be damaged.

"I ...... Didn't ......."

He tried to open his mouth, but the sound was very weak.

A's eyes were blue and swollen, the corners of his lips were bruised, and his face was somewhat deformed

"Are you down there, do you see Your Highness?"

Xia Chuqi breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the edge of the bed, looked at his head wrapped in gauze, and his voice was weak.

"Boss A......"

After her all-out rescue, a few hours later, when the bright sky darkened again, Jia Yi, who had fallen into a deep coma, finally came back alive. There are countless wounds on his body, and even that handsome face is extremely injured, and I don't know if it will leave a scar after the injury is healed.

……

"Find the old grandson and help me."

Slightly loosen the hand and squeeze it a little bit. Xia Chuqi's body shook, and it was finally difficult to speak.

His injuries were severe, and he was unconscious and dying.

He is the first one.

However, Xia Chuqi only glanced at him and knew that he was not Zhao Zhu.

His body and face were wounded, blood clotted in the dirt, his face was blurred, his clothes were torn and his color was long unrecognizable. It was said that he had dug it out of the collapsed soil of the B-shaped corridor. Judging from the location, the "Huiguang Huizhao Building" excavated by them is extremely tight, and it is very likely to be His Royal Highness King Jin.

A man who was buried deep in the earth and embarrassed to the point of not being human.

That's really a person.

It was with great excitement that she ran into the resettlement camp.

Returning to the ground again, Xia Chuqi took a deep breath.

Dongfang Qingxuan raised her eyebrows, made a look, and let Rufeng help her up.

Disappointment, once again, hope rises. Her spirit was shocked, and her weak and weak legs suddenly became energetic, and almost instantly, she rushed in front of her, trying to recognize someone.

Xia Chuqi's heart suddenly tightened, and he lowered his eyes in disappointment, but heard him say again, "That person's appearance is extremely tall, but his body is extremely injured, and his clothes and face are no longer clear...... We can't make out of it. ”

The soldier who told the news shook his head.

"Isn't it Your Highness?"

This time, Xia Chuqi grabbed ahead of Dongfang Qingxuan and asked.

But the mechanism under the imperial mausoleum is complicated, although Zhao Zhu was previously separated from Xia Chuqi in this place, although the location of Huiguang Huizhaolou is indeed in this place, but no one dares to guarantee that the person who designed the mausoleum will not move the people who were originally here to the side of the place.

The B corridor is dug into it next to the A corridor.

"Metropolitan Governor, a person has been found in Yongdao."

As soon as Dongfang Qingxuan's words fell, there was a sudden sound outside.

"The Grand Duke!"

What he meant, everyone understands, King Jin is the prince, he is the son of the emperor, even if he dies, even if he can only find a corpse, even if they have to sacrifice the lives of countless people for a corpse, they have to do this.

At this bluff, those people were silenced.

Dongfang Qingxuan's expression froze, he raised his hand, and glanced at the person who was stunned, "Carry him down." After saying that, his phoenix eyes slanted slightly, snorted coldly, and said softly, "Even if it's just a corpse, it has to be dug up for this seat." Otherwise, when we return to Beijing, what will you and I give to the imperial court? Don't you lose your head like that? ”

This man's voice is not loud, but what he says is everyone's heart.

"That's right, Dadudu, if the king of Jin is below, I'm afraid that it will be ...... now."

"The Grand Duke!" Someone shouted, "I can't dig anymore, it's all loose soil!" ”

After a heart-rending scream, he fainted on the spot.

I saw that the big stone fell on a man's waist.

There was a "bang", and someone screamed.

Suddenly, someone roared, and the crowd began to retreat. But before he could finish speaking, he saw a place above his head suddenly loosen, and a boulder mixed with the soil suddenly lost its balance due to the loosening of the bottom, and planted crookedly with the sand and dirt in the air.

"Carefully! The corridor is going to collapseβ€”"

The first batch of excavators all left because of Bai Meisheng. Only Xia Chuqi has been refusing to leave. When others eat, she eats, and when others dig, she watches. The whole person curled up in one place calmly, and if it weren't for the fact that her face was too pale in the light of the torches, she could hardly see anything unusual about her.

The soldiers ate and continued to dig, and kept digging from person to person.

I don't know how long it took, but someone brought food.

But every time she was disappointed. Later, the deeper she dug and the deeper she wanted to come forward, Dongfang Qingxuan didn't allow her to get any closer, she had to wait for the edge of the hard stone cave, anxious.

Every time a place was dug up, Xia Chuqi would rush up to see it and shout.

In the dreary hot and hot corridors, there are not many people coming and going.

Little by little, time passed.

……

Agu paused, didn't look back, snorted heavily, and walked away.

"I'm a dignified Heavenly Empire, and it's not unreasonable, if you just come to worship, it's okay, how you like to kneel, how long you like to kneel, we won't care. As for the rest? Yinshan is my Da Yan's territory, and it is not your turn to make irresponsible remarks. ”

Yuan Yu snorted lukewarmly, looked at Agu's back, and smiled again.

"Hey, it scared me!"

"Since Nan Yan insists on going his own way, I will retire first. It's just that if you are unkind in the south, it is no wonder that I am unrighteous in the north. At that time, the two countries will raise troops and the lives will be devastated, and there will be no definite decision on who will win or lose......"

He gave the little guard a look. The little guard finally retreated behind him with annoyance. Agu breathed a sigh of relief, let go of his hand, and clasped his fists and saluted Yuan Yu and the general in the seat.

But before he could make an exception, he was grabbed by Agu's wrist.

The person who spoke was not Agu, but a small, black-faced guard who had been standing beside him before. He stared at a pair of eyes, as if he was extremely angry, and he was about to rush forward to reason with Yuan Yu.

"Bastard, it's too much of a deception!"

"Agu, I'll tell you, if it weren't for my lord, I have benevolence and righteousness, and the two armies will not fight and fight, just with your virtue of slapping the table and scolding, I will immediately ask you to splash three feet of blood, and you will never go back to your Beidi kennel!"

"How am I? What is reason and what is not? Yuan You raised his tall and handsome chin, and a pair of phoenix eyes slanted at Agu, his eyes full of murder and anger. Obviously, because of Zhao Zhu's incident, his mood was so gloomy that he was already suffocated to the extreme, and he was worried that he couldn't find anyone to vent, how could his temper be good?

"You...... Outrageous! ”

Agu slammed his cheeks, slammed the table, and stood up.

Yuan You has never been serious, especially at this time, the tone of his speech is extremely annoying

He glanced at Agu with a slight sarcasm, tore up the handwritten book with a "swish", and under the discolored gaze of Agu and several Beidi people, he curled his lips with a smile and continued evilly, "Go back and tell your emperor...... Ants don't have to compete with lions, Beidi should stop and live. Naturally, it's okay to fight, so I'll be waiting in Yinshan, master. As for this tomb...... You have to pick it up, you have to pick it up if you don't pick it up, who does it matter? ”

"The previous dynasty has been covered, yo, do you still dare to call yourself emperor?"

What's more, Zhao Zhu hasn't been found yet, how can he agree to this.

It's not that I haven't fought a war, so what's the point of saying this now?

The corners of Yuan You's lips raised coldly.

Lazily taking the letter from the envoy of Beidi, Yuan You took a cursory glance, and the content of it was nothing more than asking Nan Yan to stop stealing the imperial tomb of his ancestor of Beidi, and accusing this behavior of how shameless and criticized by the world. At the end, he also said that if the tomb of Taizu was stolen and the ancestors could not live in peace, Beidi and Nanyan would be forever peaceful, and Beidi would raise the strength of the whole country to avenge this great revenge.

"General Right, this is written by His Majesty the Emperor himself."

More than a year ago, the two of them had dealt with each other at the Yaowang Temple outside Lulongsai. At that time, it was the princess Wuren Xiaoxiao who handed over to Beidi. Probably distressed by their Royal Highness the princess, Agu didn't have a good face when he saw Yuan Yu appear. But he still handed over the documents of Emperor Beidi in a business manner.

Especially Motoyu and Agu.

In the garrison tent, Yuan You, together with several generals of the Dayan army, talked with General Agu of Beidi around the fireplace. They are rivals and have been at war for many years. Now because of the excavation of the Taizu Emperor's Mausoleum, the atmosphere is stiff, and naturally it is even more difficult to talk about it.

The day of the Yin Mountain is cold into the muscles and bones.

……

To fight or not to fight, the lives and deaths of others, she no longer has the strength to care. She knew that she was selfish, and she only had a crazy paranoid thought in her heart at the moment, and she only cared about Zhao Zhu...... Where is Zhao Zhu now, is he waiting for her to save him? Is the Returning Light Building, full of gold, still buried deep in the ground with him, and how long can he wait?

At this time, her back was straight, but the blood was cold.

"Brother, go ahead, I'm fine."

With that, Yuan Yu left in a hurry. Before leaving, he walked over with red eyes and wanted to comfort Xia Chuqi, but she looked up at him and pulled her lips, but her expression was extremely indifferent.

"Digging is digging, what the hell does the master care? Lord Dongfang, I will go up to meet Agu, you take people to continue digging, no matter what, you have to find out Tianlu, you have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death, and the responsibility for this matter is borne by me alone. ”

But after glancing at Dongfang Qingxuan, Yuan You sneered and snorted heavily.

There were some people who didn't want to dig and breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if the previous dynasty has been destroyed, it is not a reasonable thing for the Great Yan Army to openly excavate the tomb of Emperor Taizu on such a large scale. If it is spread out, people all over the world will poke at the backbone and write it into history, and it will also be scolded by future generations for thousands of years.

On the other hand, it is great for everyone to obey the dead.

After resting for so long, if there is another battle, there will be a river of blood.

Beidi Agu led people to Yinshan, and now this is a salute before a soldier.

The mausoleum of Emperor Taizu of the previous dynasty, he is not only the ancestor of Beidi, but also their dignity.

Instead, it has risen to the level of state-to-state government affairs.

Obviously, digging up the Emperor's Tomb is no longer just about saving a person.

The man said: "Agu said that he came for the matter of the imperial tomb, and he brought a handwritten letter from Emperor Beidi to discuss with the governor of the capital and the right general......"

"What's so urgent?"

Hearing that it was a Beidi person, Yuan You was not angry.

"The Grand Governor, the right general, the Agu general of Beidi asks to see you."

A long shout came from the entrance of the ladder cave.

"Newspaperβ€”"

This time, with his heart and guts, except for the "sonorous" sound of the collision between iron and hard earth and stone, no one spoke casually. The atmosphere was so silent that it was heart-wrenching, and breathing was suffocating.

Digging a tunnel in such a place is in danger of landslides at any time, which is really a deadly living juice. But with the gold and the order, everyone discussed a safer way to build a strong road, and finally explored it with difficulty.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Be. ”

"Do as she says. Otherwise, we will not be able to explain to Your Majesty when we return to Beijing. ”

The two of them exchanged their eyes in the dark space for a moment, and his soft voice finally sounded.

There is no longer a Zhao bottle at the standing point, so it is very likely to be sunk, such a large area, relying on the strength of a few people, there will be no way to dig it up for a while and a half. But if the time drags on for a moment, Zhao Zhu will be in danger for a moment, and she needs Dongfang Qingxuan's help.

Xia Chuqi also looked at him silently, his eyes filled with eagerness.

Dongfang Qingxuan was silent.

In response to Yuan You and Chen Jing's words, almost at the same time as they stepped forward, Zhao Zhu's attendants and the Jin Guards under Yuan You also took action. And some of the remaining people hesitated, there was silence for a while, looking at each other, as if they were waiting for Dongfang Qingxuan's meaning.

"Brothers, dig! Big deal, for the funeral of His Highness! ”

Chen Jinger said and rushed forward.

"Dig!"

"Dig it up!" Yuan You was the first to speak, pulled the hammer in the hand of a soldier, and took the lead in starting, "Don't worry, something happened, the master bears it, if any of you die, your parents, the master will definitely support you." ”

Her voice was already hoarse, but her words were very sincere, she didn't cry or plead, it was such a calm appearance that made people even more worried.

"Of course, everyone's lives are at stake......

After a pause, she swallowed.

"I know that digging is dangerous in such a situation, but even if there is a glimmer of life, we cannot give up Your Highness's life. I also know that digging up loose soil indiscriminately can easily cause collapse, but we can build a solid road while searching and rescuing the loose soil and transporting the loose soil out of the rocky wall. ”

Xia Chuqi cleared his throat, his red and swollen eyes narrowed shallowly, and looked at everyone.

"Governor, brothersβ€”"

There is nothing wrong with people dying for money, and birds dying for food. But except for Zhao Zhu's own cronies, everyone else has fathers, mothers, wives and children, and not all of them are willing to die for "gold that can be heard but cannot be touched". And what's more important is that in the hearts of most people, such a large-scale overall collapse has such a great power, and Zhao Zhu was also buried alive inside, and it has been so long that the possibility of living is too small.

Like the low confession of the wind, the voice is slightly quieter.

"But...... Grand Governor! I can't dig anymore, it's dangerous......"

"Do you understand? Gold, as long as you dig up here and find out His Royal Highness King Jin, there will be a lot of gold, enough for you to enjoy for a lifetime, are you still afraid of death? ”

At this time, her eyes were very light, her mood was very cold, and she looked calm and waveless, and she was a little scary. But now she deliberately said that there was gold, how could he not understand? His chest was inexplicably filed, the corners of his lips raised, and his voice was almost squeezed out between his teeth, revealing a hint of chill, mixed with a hint of mockery.

Dongfang Qingxuan glanced at her pale little face, and her phoenix eyes darkened slightly.

Some gasped, some sighed, and some didn't quite believe it.

"Could it be that the treasure is in there?"

"Gold? Oh my! ”

But the people on the ground were warm......

She muttered under her breath, not sounding emotional.

"There's gold down there, lots and lots of gold. Eight huge rooms filled with gold, jewels, and all sorts of priceless treasures......"

Yuan You looked at Xia Chuqi's weak appearance, stretched out his hand to support her, opened his mouth and didn't speak. But she pushed his hand away and quietly walked to Dongfang Qingxuan's side.

There was silence for a while.

Zhao Zhu wants to be saved, but the lives of others cannot be ignored. If there is a large area of loose soil inside, such excavation will not only not save Zhao Zhu, but will still be playing with the lives of others. When the time comes, there will only be more people buried in Zhao Bottle.

Everyone's eyes fell on Dongfang Qingxuan's face.

"Governor, what should I do?"

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and walked straight to the front over the wind, looking carefully at the place where the soldiers were bent down to dig the earth. Sure enough, unlike the hard soil above, the collapsed soil was mixed with rocks and gravel, and it was indeed soft and could not support the road.

How dangerous the collapse is at the bottom of such a deep cave, Dongfang Qingxuan understands.

"Governor, this place was originally collapsed, the filling was all from above, the soil is soft, the hard stone is unstable, if we rush to dig in, it will definitely collapse again......"

Dongfang Qingxuan looked at him, and picked out a touch of displeasure with a cold glow at the end of his eyes, which was not at all like the softness of smiling forever in the past, and his appearance was extremely terrifying. Panting like the wind, he glanced back at the end of the excavated tunnel.

"Why?"

"Metropolitan Governor, Grand Metropolitan Governor, you can't dig any further."

After digging forward for about two feet, there was still no one who saw Zhao Zhu, and finally ran back sweating profusely like the wind, wiping the soil on his forehead, enlarging his throat, and the sound in the empty sound of the corridor was very clear.

Unable to join, she could only wait silently.

Xia Chuqi clenched his hands nervously, and a person curled up in the corner.

There are many people, and the fog of Baimei is a lot lighter.

But the man has never been seen.

This place is mostly collapsed earth with hard stones mixed in, much easier than the previous pure hard earth and rough stones. The narrow corridor is widening and widening. There are also more and more people who have slipped down from the ladder cave to participate in the excavation.

Fortunately, the place was confirmed on the seventh day of the summer month, and everyone had a goal of excavation, and they were much more energetic. Chen Jing led a few soldiers to wave their arms, desperately digging up the piles of things blocking the road in front of them, and moved them one by one.

Countless people saw hope and shouted loudly, and the shouts drowned out her voice, but there was no response except the "ping-pong" sound of hammers and chisels.

One sound, one more sound.

"Tianlu! Tianlu! ”

One sound, one sound back.

"Your Highness! His Royal Highness the King of Jin! ”

One and another.

"Zhao Nineteen!"

She bowed down impatiently, shouting almost hoarsely.

A throbbing pain in his chest.

If she remembers correctly, the place she is stepping on now is the place where she broke up with Zhao Zhu. But now the space is still humid, stuffy, and hot, and she herself is still the same, but the person is not still waiting for her here.
