Chapter 285: Rescue
When he saw this lame man lifting the quilt on the kang, Gu Xiang was still very puzzled, but when the mystery under the quilt was revealed, Gu Xiang understood the reason why he did this.
When the quilt was lifted, a circular clamp-like mechanism was revealed on the kang underneath, and if you didn't look closely, you wouldn't notice it at all.
After the lame man twisted the mechanism, Gu Xiang and Shen Ru saw that the two wardrobes opposite the kang were automatically separated.
When the wardrobe was separated, a black iron door was revealed behind it, and the lame man stepped forward and knocked three times vigorously, and then three more very gently.
After this was done, within five minutes, I heard a particularly weak voice coming from inside the door, "Brother Honglou is a family." β
Hearing the person inside the door say this, the lame man received it with confidence, "Don't wait for the time to be free." β
As soon as the lame man's words fell, Gu Xiang and Shen Ru saw the door open.
What came out was a white-haired man, and after he first looked at the people present, he cautiously said to Gu Xiang and them, "Please come with me." β
Hearing this old man say this, the lame man took the lead in entering the door, and seeing this, Gu Xiang and Shen Ru also walked in calmly.
As soon as Gu Xiang and the others came in, the door was closed by the old man, and then the wardrobe blocked the iron door again.
Because there was no light, Shen Ru was very scared and grabbed Gu Xiang tightly, seeing this, Gu Xiang first comforted her, and then said to the gray old man just now, "Senior." Aren't there any lights in there? My sister is a little afraid of the dark. β
Hearing Gu Xiang ask, the old man first snorted, and then reluctantly turned on the light.
After having the light, Gu Xiang and Shen Ru finally saw clearly what kind of place it was, it looked like an ancient tomb, and there were walls made of blue bricks everywhere.
Following the light, Gu Xiang and the others came across a stone staircase going down.
I don't know how long they walked, Gu Xiang and the others finally walked to the flat ground, and the further down they went, the lower the temperature in this place Gu Xiang found. Seeing that Shen Ru was cold, he was shivering all the time. Gu Xiang took off his coat and put it on Shen Ru.
Seeing Gu Xiang take off his clothes and give them to herself, Shen Ru was very moved, but she also understood what would happen if she didn't wear a coat in this place. So she hurriedly excused herself. "Sister-in-law. I'm okay, I can still hold on, you put on your clothes first! I can't hold on for a while. You give it to me again. β
Seeing that Shen Ru was so persistent, Gu Xiang also nodded, the more he went inside, the lower the temperature, Gu Xiang's intuition told her that the place where they were now should already be underground.
Otherwise, the air wouldn't be so stuffy, and the temperature wouldn't be so low, I don't know how long they walked, Gu Xiang and the others finally arrived at their destination.
After arriving at the destination, Gu Xiang realized where they had come, this should be a secret room.
However, the area is still very large, and in addition, Gu Xiang found a blanket here.
After taking the blanket and draping it over Shen Ru, Gu Xiang asked the old man and the lame man in the lead, "May I ask the two of you, what kind of place is this, and what are you calling us here!" β
Hearing Gu Xiang ask, the lame man smiled shyly before he said to Gu Xiang, "You can call me Xiao Chen, this time I was instructed by Elder Hong, and now Elder Hong is going to start settling the previous accounts with the emperor, so in order to ensure the safety of the two of you, I specially asked me to bring you here." You can rest assured, except for Hong Lao and my family, no one else knows about this place, and this is the gatekeeper who guards this place for us, you can call him Lao Sun. β
Hearing Xiao Chen say this, Lao Chen politely nodded towards Gu Xiang and Shen Ru, seeing this, Gu Xiang and Shen Ru would also smile him in return.
In addition to a few sofas in this room, there are only two beds, in order to allow the four of them to rest, Gu Xiang deliberately gave out a bed for Lao Sun and Xiao Chen.
Seeing Gu Xiang doing this, although Xiao Chen and Lao Sun didn't say anything, their hearts were still very warm, they always thought that these eldest ladies would only be arrogant, but they didn't expect that there would be this kind of special talkative.
Because Gu Xiang is a good person, the four of them still get along very well.
Just when there was no turmoil on Gu Xiang's side, the outside world had long been chaotic.
From the moment Gu Xiang entered that secret passage, Hong Lao's counterattack had already begun, he wanted to regain what belonged to him, and he wanted to make his good nephew pay the price of his application.
Since the emperor was defenseless, and he had always thought that his uncle had died a long time ago, he didn't know that there were still people on this island who wanted to kick him out of power.
The battle lasted for three days and three nights, but fortunately, there was already food and water in the basement, otherwise Gu Xiang and Shen Ru would have starved to death.
In the past three days, although Hong Lao won the victory in the end, but his side also suffered heavy losses, the emperor did not have the slightest defense before, so when he was fighting, he was defeated and retreated, and finally there was no way, so he had to lead some of the people on the island to leave here.
Although he won the victory, Hong Lao did not dare to take it lightly, after all, the emperor has a very high popularity on this island, in case someone secretly helps him, then his previous efforts will be in vain.
Fortunately, Hong Lao left a hand, otherwise on the night of victory, he might have been counterattacked by the emperor.
When he defeated the emperor's attack again, Hong Lao knew that the emperor had completely failed this time, not to mention the number of people he had lost, even he had no weapons to supply, so he could only go to recuperate.
The fact is really as Hong Lao said, this time after the emperor left, he didn't come back for a long time, seeing this, the new emperor Hong Lao smiled.
After the situation on the island stabilized, Shen Tianjue hurried here.
This time, Hong Lao was able to succeed in such a smooth assault, and Shen Tianjue contributed a lot. Basically, all the robberies in the hands of Hong Lao's subordinates were supplied by Shen Tianjue.
"The arrival of the head of the Shen family is really a blessing for our small island."
Hearing the new emperor compliment himself like this, Shen Tianjue didn't say anything, he just said to the emperor with an expressionless face, "Where are my fiancΓ©e and my sister?" β
Hearing Shen Tianjue ask this, the emperor smiled, "The head of the Shen family can rest assured, your fiancΓ©e and sister are all safe and sound, I promised you something." How can you forget jΓ¬? Come here, please. I'll take you to see it. β
Hearing Elder Hong say this, Shen Tianjue was relieved.
Gu Xiang and the others came out of that basement three days ago, and in the past two days, Hong Lao has taken very good care of them, sending food and play every day. was stunned to make Shen Ru, who usually doesn't eat anything, gain two pounds.
Shen Tianjue, when they arrived. I heard that Shen Ru was pouring bitter water with Gu Xiang. "Sister-in-law, you see I've only been here for five days, and I've already gained two pounds. If I stay for ten days and half a month, I won't become a big fat man! β
Hearing Shen Ru say this, Gu Xiang smiled, "No, as long as you exercise more, the meat on your body will naturally disappear, the reason why you have gained weight in the past two days is that you have eaten too much, and second, you have not exercised, so if you are still fat, it will be unscientific." β
Hearing Gu Xiang say this, Shen Ru nodded, "My activity in the past two days is a little less, hey, it's all the fault of that old Hong, he brought me so many delicious foods every day, I can't control it, if it weren't for him, how could I have gained two pounds." β
Hearing Shen Ru say this, the new emperor Hong was old, "Hahahaha, it's all my fault, the delicious food I sent is so delicious, so you become fat, it's all my fault, so you are satisfied." β
Hearing him say this, Shen Ru, who didn't see the person behind him, said a little unreasonably, "If you know that you're wrong, it's good, don't give away this kind of delicious food in the future, otherwise I won't be able to leave the island on the day I leave, and I will really become fat." β
Just when Shen Ru was still thinking about it, Gu Xiang had already seen Shen Tianjue behind the old man.
Seeing Shen Tianjue again, Gu Xiang found that he had lost weight, and the beard on his face was not shaved, but this did not affect his handsomeness at all.
Shen Ru thought about it there for a long time, and when she saw that no one paid attention to him, she felt that something was wrong.
Turning her head to see what was going on, she saw her brother Shen Tianjue.
"Wow, brother!! You're finally here, and you want to kill me!"
Pulling Shen Ru who was hanging on his body down, Shen Tianjue's expression was a little helpless, "Well, there is nothing abnormal about you and your sister-in-law!" β
Hearing his brother ask this, Shen Ru smiled a little slyly, "Brother, you can ask your sister-in-law about this question yourself, don't ask me!" I don't know how to read minds, you say! β
Seeing that Shen Ru was still playing with himself, Shen Tianjue was very helpless, and after putting Shen Ru down, Shen Tianjue came to Gu Xiang's side with steady steps, "How are you here?" β
Hearing Shen Tianjue ask this, Gu Xiang smiled, "We are fine, we don't suffer any guilt, but there is one question that I am very curious about, why did the previous emperor arrest me and Shen Ru, and what was his purpose in doing this?" β
Hearing Gu Xiang ask, the current emperor Hong Lao was also puzzled, "I went to investigate this matter, but the strange thing is that no one knows the purpose of my nephew's arrest of you, the sacrificial personnel have already been selected, since there are sacrificial personnel, then what is he arresting you for?" β
Seeing that even Elder Hong didn't understand, Gu Xiang's brows furrowed even harder, what was it for, to arrest himself and Shen Ru with such fanfare?
After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't understand the mystery, so Gu Xiang gave up.
Since Shen Tianjue and the others have already come, it is not good for Gu Xiang and Shen Ru to continue to stay here, in fact, Shen Tianjue came this time for two purposes, one is to pick up Gu Xiang and Shen Ru to go home, and the other is to send another batch of weapons to the new emperor Hong Lao.
Although Hong Lao has replaced the previous emperor as the new emperor, he is unpopular, and now only through force can the inhabitants of the island not resist.
The weapon sent by Shen Tianjue this time was no less than sending charcoal in the snow to the new emperor.
After Shun Lì moved all the weapons down, Gu Xiang and Shen Ru also got on the boat home.
After getting on the boat, Gu Xiang finally slept well, and since the kidnapping happened, Gu Xiang has not slept normally for a day.
She had to keep vigil until late every night before she dared to sleep, after all, she still had Shen Ru to protect, if it was herself, she could do anything, but now she still had Shen Ru in her hands, so she could only be cautious.
After Gu Xiang fell asleep, Shen Tianjue lightly entered the bedroom on Gu Xiang's boat.
Gu Xiang slept very deeply, and there was a very obvious green shadow under her eyes, she should have not slept well for a long time.
This time I slept well, is it because I came, because I came, so you can rest assured, so you can enter a deep sleep with peace of mind.
Thinking that he was trusted by Gu Xiang, Shen Tianjue's mood became very good for no reason.
After being separated from Gu Xiang for so many days, every day was a torment for Shen Tianjue, Gu Xiang didn't sleep well, how could Shen Tianjue sleep well?
He was already used to falling asleep with Gu Xiang in his arms, so when Gu Xiang was no longer there, he couldn't fall asleep at all.
When he knew that Gu Xiang and Shen Ru were safe, he was so anxious that he didn't even shave his beard, so he came here.
"Gu Xiang, look, you have a greater impact on me than I imagined, if you really have any accidents, in fact, I won't survive."
After saying this, seeing that Gu Xiang was still asleep, Shen Tianjue kissed Gu Xiang's forehead before lifting the quilt and hugging the sleeping Gu Xiang.
I don't know if it's because of habit, as soon as Shen Tianjue entered the quilt, Gu Xiang habitually rolled into Shen Tianjue's arms.
Seeing this, Shen Tianjue smiled.
When Gu Xiang woke up, Shen Tianjue was still sleeping, and when he saw that he was sleeping with someone in his arms, Gu Xiang's face turned red.
"What the hell is wrong with this, wasn't it good when I used to sleep alone? It seems that this problem must be quit, otherwise how will I meet people! Fortunately, he hadn't woken up yet, otherwise he wouldn't have had this face. β
Carefully pulled out of Shen Tianjue's arms, Gu Xiang was really tired enough, seeing that Shen Tianjue didn't notice anything, Gu Xiang was very proud.
Soon after Gu Xiang left, Shen Tianjue also woke up, and seeing that Gu Xiang was no longer there, Shen Tianjue hurriedly went around to check.
When he heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom, Shen Tianjue realized that Gu Xiang was there.
Found Gu Xiang's whereabouts, Shen Tianjue was really relieved, fortunately it was not a dream, Gu Xiang was indeed brought back by himself, and he no longer had to be afraid every day.
