Chapter 278: Hurrying Steps
Li Han and the others temporarily blocked the entrance to the cave with stones, but they vaguely heard the sound of footsteps coming from the tunnel, and the sound was getting closer and closer, and the footsteps were rapid and noisy, as if they were about to approach.
"Oh no, they're about to catch up, we're going to go!" Li Han grabbed the old man, "Old man, you can come with us too." ”
Li Han was mainly afraid that after they left, Shen Lingli would attribute all her efforts to the old man, afraid that the old man would be hurt, after all, the old man was also to save himself, so he thought about taking the old man away to ensure his safety.
The old man knew Li Han's kindness, but he still shook his head, "No, I'm an old bone, I can't move, my home is here, I've lived there for decades, where else can I go, I'll just stay here, you better leave quickly!" ”
"Old gentleman, but you ......" Tuoba Yun was also very worried about the old man, and just wanted to persuade her, the old man interrupted her.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine, I can see that you are not ordinary people, and naturally the people who chase you will not be good people, although I am old, but I am not old and confused, good and evil are still clear, I can help you drag it out here, and even if I am an old man, I will not walk in this world in vain!"
The old man's words made Li Han and them very moved, and they were still a little reluctant, the old man walked slowly to the side of the haystack, squatted down and didn't know what he was pulling, and then suddenly squeaked, and the sound of gears running came from the ground.
Li Han and the others were very surprised, "Old man, who are you?" ”
The old man smiled and slowly stood up, "This is this authentic mechanism!" ”
"Organs?" Li Han and the others looked at each other, but they didn't expect that this small tunnel had a mystery, and they felt very strange.
"That's right, you don't know, before the establishment of our village, there was a small country here, and then it was destroyed by other countries, and it became a ruin, and then after the vicissitudes of life, the ruins were buried in the ground and became flat, and then my ancestors moved here because of the war, which led to our village, I also heard the old people here talk about it, whether it is true or not, and this tunnel was also discovered by me, before the exit was buried, or I dug through it......"
Listening to the old man say this, Li Han and their story is very mysterious, it is really hard to imagine that there was a country on the land of this small village, and they can't help but sigh at the cruelty of the fall of the dynasty, which was finally annihilated in the long river of history, leaving no trace at all.
The old man activated the tunnel mechanism just now, and the sound just now was that all the exits of the tunnel were closed, and the only hole dug by the old man had been blocked.
"At this moment, they should not be able to get out for a while, and when the mechanism is opened, the mechanism in the tunnel will also be opened, and it can be delayed, but it will not last long, and the mechanism will stop in about three days, and the other entrances to the tunnel will be automatically opened."
Hearing the old man say this, Li Han's hanging heart let go, "Since this is the case, the old gentleman, we won't force you anymore, then you can wait here for a while, and then come to pick you up when we find reinforcements." The old man nodded in response.
When the old man opened the tunnel mechanism, Shen Lingli's guards also heard the sound of the tunnel mechanism opening up, "Miss, there is movement around here, everyone should be careful!" ”
Before the guard's words fell, a number of dark arrows suddenly flew in front of and behind the tunnel, and several of Shen Lingli's subordinates just fell to the ground with arrows, and everyone immediately reacted, gathered around, waved the sword in his hand and opened the flying bow and arrow, and the bow and arrow broke and flew out with strange powder.
After Shen Lingli inhaled this powder, she suddenly felt a little dizzy, so she immediately shouted, "Everyone, cover your mouth and nose, there is something wrong with this powder!" ”
The bow and arrow stopped shooting for a short while, but everyone covered their mouths and noses and did not dare to relax, lest the bow and arrow come out again, the guard stepped forward to check the person who was hit by the arrow, and found that the arrow was obtuse and did not cause fatal injury to people, but the lips of those people were obviously a little purple, "The powder is poisonous, everyone leave quickly." ”
Then, everyone hurriedly ran forward, and when the air around them was normal, Shen Lingli dared to take a big breath, "This tunnel is really extremely strange, everyone must be careful, hurry up and find the exit." ”
Shen Lingli's people searched for a long time, but they didn't find an authentic exit, with the emergence of different organs, everyone was panicked, and gradually began to be under Shen Lingli's control, after all, in such a situation, everyone's thoughts are to live, and no matter how much money there is without life, it is in vain.
Shen Lingli was trapped in the tunnel and couldn't get out for a while, Li Han and a few of them took advantage of this opportunity to quickly return to the capital, and the Emperor of Li was overjoyed when he saw Tuoba Yun and Lu Yuan coming back safely, after all, this would avoid unnecessary conflicts between the two countries.
Tuoba Yun asked Emperor Li to return to the Western Regions again, but Emperor Li was still worried about their safety and wanted them to stay for a few more days, but under Tuoba Yun's firmness, Emperor Li still compromised, afraid that they would have an accident on the way, so he sent Lu Li to escort them all the way, which was also convenient to take care of.
Li Han saw Lu Li follow, leaving him alone in this palace, and Li Han couldn't sit still, "Father, the child also wants to accompany Lu Li together!" ”
"Nonsense, this road is dangerous, what kind of fun is your daughter's house, I don't agree!" The emperor refused without even thinking about it.
Li Han pursed his lips, then hugged the emperor's arm, and said coquettishly: "Father, you just let me go, if you don't let me go, I will sneak out, anyway, I have to go, otherwise I won't worry!" ”
The emperor looked at Li Han, and he was also helpless, he also knew Li Han's temperament, and knew that once she decided to do something, she would be dead-headed, and the nine cows couldn't pull it back, so he had to agree, "It's okay to let you go with you, but you can't mess around along the way!" ”
Li Han nodded obediently, and the emperor said to Lu Li again: "Lu Li, this time I will work hard for you, and you must take care of Li Han's girl more on the way, don't let her get into trouble, if she doesn't stop you, come back and tell me, I will punish her!" ”
When Li Han heard this, the joy on his face gradually cooled, thinking that he would not have a better time this way, Lu Li looked at Li Han's deflated expression and smiled, and then replied to the emperor, "The minister takes the order!" ”
Subsequently, the emperor sent troops to the previous tunnel to wait for Shen Lingli, knowing that these things were all done by Shen Lingli, the emperor was very angry, thinking that after he was caught, he must be severely punished.
