Suddenly, the floor parted along the cracks in the bricks, and several flames erupted, right at the feet of the girls. Arrows rained down on the rooftop. "Mingxi!" Tang Mingyin called Dr. Su's name in a hurry, and pulled him over, and by the way, he also pulled Gu Xiaowei to his side. Kicked the captain of the guard and dragged the two girls down the stairs to dodge the arrows.

And Mu Qinghan failed to save the beauty as a hero like Tang Mingyin, but was saved by the beauty. When the trap was triggered, Meng Zhichu was close to him, so he pulled him up the stairs to dodge. That's why he staggered and pressed on someone's feet. He had rough skin and thick flesh, nothing happened, but he only heard a "hiss", it turned out that Meng Zhichu had broken his foot because of this, and he was in pain.

Decades later, Tang Mingyin laughed and scolded Mu Qinghan when he recalled it, saying that he was not ashamed. And it was also written down by the officials who recorded the facts, so that later there were also limerick poems: "Han Shuai soldiers seek fame in the world, and they also save heroes by beauties." ”

Of course, this is a later story, even if Mu Qinghan no longer knows martial arts, he still has this bit of manly temperament. He picked up Meng Zhichu and was always vigilant around. However, in the gaps of the rooms on this floor, there are countless steel plates, and the edges of the steel plates are inlaid with sharp blades, so that people cannot get close.

As the sound of the gears stopped, the plates were put together. Separate the two groups of people who are divided up and down the stairs completely. Tang Mingyin sensed that the pursuers were approaching, so he said loudly: "Qinghan, take Miss Meng upstairs to hide, there are not many chasing soldiers upstairs, I will come below." ”

Hearing this, Mu Qinghan only said, "Big brother be careful. So he went upstairs with Meng Zhichu in his arms. Meng Zhichu was still fluttering, after all, she was a young girl, even if she was strong in martial arts, she was still a little embarrassed to be in the arms of a young man.

Although Mu Qinghan doesn't know martial arts, he has some strength, so he tightened his strength. "Don't move." These two words did not drag the mud at all, and the tone was a little resolute and cold, which made Meng Zhichu a little overwhelmed.

But as soon as they went upstairs, they ran into another group of pursuers. At this time, Meng knew that her first foot was broken, and her martial arts relied too much on the speed of her body, so she could only do some things to block and dismantle at this time. In other words, at this moment, Mu Qinghan can only rely on himself.

The pursuers knew at a glance that the two men were intruders, so they couldn't help but look at them with their knives. Mu Qinghan could only dodge left and right, caught two holes, and punched twice. Meng Zhichu was really angry when he saw his way, so he pulled out his sword and threw it at him: "Fight well!" ”

Mu Qinghan has a guy in his hands, and he finally has the strength to fight in the face of these soldiers with knives. Although these soldiers are well-equipped, Mu Qinghan is also a brute force. This left and right chopping, the pursuers couldn't take advantage of it in the slightest. was also stabbed down by Mu Qinghan. At this moment, another cold arrow flew in, but it was dodged by Mu Qinghan sideways. Only then did he realize that there were archers among the guards.

So he took up his sword and rushed at the archer, and stabbed the archer to death. He couldn't help but cut the soldiers left and right, grabbed the bow and arrows and ran back to Meng Zhichu's side. Hand her the sword: "Thank you." ”

Meng Zhichu looked puzzled, but he didn't wait for her to say anything. But when he saw Mu Qinghan stretching his bow and arrows, he read in his mouth: "It's still easy to hold this thing, but it's lighter." ”

Indeed, Mu Qinghan's hunting bow on weekdays was specially made by himself, and it was more powerful than ordinary standard bows and arrows. If Mu Qinghan is allowed to take a big bow that he holds dozens of catties, its power is no worse than that of a small bed crossbow. Even the bow and arrow in this hand are as powerful as the firearms of Westerners.

He misses no arrows, and every arrow pierces through the enemy. Some arrows pierced several enemy soldiers in one shot. Meng Zhichu exclaimed: "Good archery!" ”

Just when Mu Qinghan was proud, he touched the quiver and it was gone. And the pursuers also chased forward and slashed with their knives.

At the last moment, Mu Qinghan felt a weight in the palm of his right hand. Years of experience have taught him that the birthmark is triggered. The blood veins in the arms turned bright red again, spreading outward with the birthmarks on the palms along the lines. A completely different aura erupted from all over his body. Meng Zhichu watched from the side and was shocked.

His eyes were slightly red, and he came to the soldier in an instant. A hook on the throat instantly sanitized the life of the sword and shield soldier. Grab the steel knife that fell to the ground. Re-enter the enemy's formation, and have entered a no-man's land. The whole picture has changed from a prey's self-rescue to a one-sided crushing. After a cup of tea, the entire floor fell silent.

Only him, kneeling on one knee on the floor, holding a knife in his hand, gasping for breath.

Meng Zhichu got up and walked to the man not very well. But when you really get close, you don't dare to really get close.

Mu Qinghan felt that someone was coming, and turned around to see Meng Zhichu, who was confused and frightened. Quickly squeezed out a smile, pressed his hand, and pressed the blade to the floor a few inches. He followed this force, and it was not easy to stand up.

"Don't be afraid." He stretched out his palm, revealing the eagle-shaped birthmark in his hand. Panting but with a bit of a joking tone: "This is my unique skill, and I won't use it unless I have to." ”

Meng Zhichu knew that this was to not let others worry, and squeezed out a tone, thinking that there was also a dear person who spoke to her in such a tone. She dragged the painful foot injury, but ran to support the crumbling Mu Qinghan: "Are you okay?" ”

Mu Qinghan patted the dust on his body, blinked, and said, "No! "Sometimes men say that they are alive, but they are strong and powerful, which makes people sound reliable.

"Let's go up, find a place to hide, and when the organs below are withdrawn, we are waiting for an opportunity to get out." Regarding Meng Zhichu's suggestion, Mu Qinghan did not have much and did not have many objections. It's just that he may feel that it is a little difficult for him to hold her at this time, but the man's pride does not allow him to say it.

But this time, Meng Zhichu didn't let him hug him.

The two of them continued to walk up the stairs, only to find that there was no new floor upstairs. There was only one door, and Mu Qinghan gently pushed it open. Facing the cold wind pouring in, and then looking at the bright moon, the clouds and mist are gray but layered, and the mountains at the end of the Canghe River are in full view. After two more steps, you can see the twinkling lights on Lixiu Lake, and the size of a peanut boat.

It turned out that there was a fight all the way, but it reached the top of Wangyun Tower. Mu Qinghan poked his feet, and there was only a narrow path under his feet, and the others were green tiles of the eaves. He carefully held Meng Zhichu's hand and pulled her out carefully. said in his mouth: "It's a little stuffy inside, just come up and breathe." ”

Meng Zhichu was also held by him like this, without words.

It's also strange to say that the path is half a person's width under your feet, as if it is specially used for people to climb the roof. From the exit just now, along the ridge all the way to the top, and finally until it reaches the position of the owl kiss on the side, there are even stairs when going up, and I don't know why the Yangzhou Lu family in Tang Mingyin's mouth is designed like this.

The two climbed up the main ridge, regardless of the big pearl kissed on both sides. Just sit in a row and look at the landscape in front of you. It seems that after the scene just now, they need the peace of the night. The two seemed to have forgotten that the priority at this point was to find a way out of here.

For Mu Qinghan, it is very rare to climb high and look far into Xiyue City. This night is moonlight, accompanied by beautiful women. If there is a pot of passion grass brewed by A-Niang herself at this moment, accompanied by a plate of small peanuts sprinkled with fine salt, chew it and drink it, then it is called taste.

This person can't think about eating in the middle of the night, especially if he hasn't eaten for most of the day. You said that your stomach screamed at this time, and you are not embarrassed in front of the beauty.

But coincidentally, the beauties around him also barked in their stomachs. The two of them couldn't help but look at me, I looked at you, and then they both laughed. I didn't expect that it was gluttonous insects that broke the tranquility.

"Miss Meng, are you from Jianghu?" Mu Qinghan said one sentence after another.

Meng Zhichu shook his legs, pursed his lips and teeth, nodded and said, "Sort of." What about you? ”

Mu Qinghan said: "I'm not, I'm just a guy who works on the side of the official road." Then he pointed to the high mountain on the other side of the Canghe River, "I saw that end mountain, I haven't been to the north side again." ”

"Have you always lived in West Vietnam?"

"Yes, sometimes I envy you people in the rivers and lakes, you can go and listen to it from all over the world."

Meng Zhichu nodded: "Indeed, the world is very interesting." You can too! ”

"I thought about it before, but then I thought about it less."

"Why?"

"Maybe I've grown up." Mu Qinghan said on this topic: "Where did Miss Meng grow up? ”

Meng Zhichu was confused by this simple question, and he didn't know how to answer. After thinking about it, I replied with a "It's hard to say." This answer really surprised Mu Qinghan, but after all, he had been running the hall for many years, and if there was anything that others didn't want to say about it, of course he wouldn't ask more.

Then there was another silence, watching the moon rise. He changed the topic and said, "Looking at the hour, it should be almost the third watch, and I don't know what happened to Brother Tang." ”

"Your big brother Tang has extraordinary martial arts, and he will definitely be able to take Su Su and your sister out." To tell the truth, Mu Qinghan always felt that something was wrong when he heard this, and looked towards Meng Zhichu, but the little girl turned her head.

This back and forth is very boring. He didn't say anything, just watched the moon rise slowly. Mu Qinghan stretched his waist and pushed his hand back, not hearing the sound of the mechanism. When I looked back, I actually pressed a tile, and then I heard the sound of gears.

The tiles actually fell from the roof, and a mirror that was placed obliquely appeared in the place where the tiles turned out, Mu Qinghan blurted out what this was. Meng Zhichu also moved over to take a look, but he couldn't see anything.

The two of them looked closely at the mirror, but they couldn't find anything else unusual. But the presence of a mirror in such a place is itself an anomaly.

Midnight is approaching, the full moon is in the sky, and the moonlight is sprinkled on the eaves, which looks extraordinarily bright. Mu Qinghan gradually discovered that the moonlight shone on the mirror, and the light reflected by the mirror became stronger and stronger. He rubbed his eyes and looked closely, and the moonlight reflected in the mirror was cast on the pearl of the owl's kiss.

The pearl is gorgeous, and it is beautiful for a while.

But just when the night was at the third watch, when the pearl was the brightest, I heard the sound of chains colliding. Mu Qinghan felt that the roof under his feet was rising, rumbling.

Soon, the roof movement beneath your feet stopped. The blue-tiled roof underfoot, however, has a skylight. It's pitch black down there, and I don't know what it is.

At this time, Mu Qinghan and the two couldn't get out, to be precise, they were trapped on the roof of the building. Since there is no other way, it is better to go down and have a look.

Mu Qinghan went down first, and then Meng Zhichu at the bottom. Meng Zhichu had a broken foot, so he could only move over step by step. Cautiously walked down from the skylight, but he still didn't catch his hand, and fell down, but he gave Mu Qinghan a full embrace.

In this situation, the two were a little embarrassed, but Mu Qinghan still gently put her down. Just in case she touched that foot in a hurry, it would be bad for her to suffer.

I don't want other floors in this house, there are so many night pearls dotted. There was only a glimmer of moonlight coming in from the skylight, so the light was a little dim. Mu Qinghan found a stone bench to help her sit down, and then groped around to see if there were any other mechanisms.

"This Yangzhou Lu family's trick is really strange, and there is an extra floor to hide in such a high place." Mu Qinghan said while looking for it.

Meng Zhichu said: "If it is the handwriting of the Lu family in Yangzhou, this is really not too strange." ”

"The girl knows that, too?"

Meng Zhichu said: "Those who walk the rivers and lakes know that there are three major families of craftsmen. Yangzhou Lu family, Guan Chinese family and Jiang Zuolin family are all masters of construction. In particular, the mechanism of the Lu family in Yangzhou is very powerful, and it is said that it was a government-run workshop during the Yun Dynasty. ”

"Oh" Mu Qinghan wanted to say the same as what Tang Mingyin said before, but when he thought of Meng Zhichu's attitude towards Tang Mingyin before, it was better to say less. During the conversation, Tang Mingyin saw a bow and a bag of arrows on the wall.

Of course, he wanted to take it and touch it, but this object was different when he got his hands on it. The cold metallic texture made his hands tremble, which he was used to touching the hardwood bow. It's an iron-tired bow!

He hurriedly put it under the moonlight to inspect it, and he didn't know that the iron-tired bow was still trimmed with gold. With Mu Qinghan's archery method, this bow is taken out, and it is a bed crossbow.

"Could it be that this is an arsenal?" Mu Qinghan was overjoyed when he touched the iron tire bow, and picked up a silk quiver, which contained about a dozen arrows, and he forgot why he came.

When Meng Zhi first saw him, he knew that he was a man who loved bows. Walking the rivers and lakes, there are many warriors who are good at all kinds of weapons. So she wasn't surprised and wanted to stand up and take a peek.

But because my foot has been broken for a long time, it hurts to take a step. I think it's already swollen. even stepped on the air and fell to the ground, but unexpectedly touched another mechanism. A new opening opened in the floor. The opening is not big, about the width of one and a half people, and there is a pedal underneath. The words "organ ladder" in the book may be used for lifting and lowering.

Mu Qinghan hurriedly helped Meng Zhichu up, looked at the new entrance, and said, "Why are there so many twists and turns in this building. Then he immediately followed up with the injury on Meng Zhichu's foot.

Meng Zhichu said no, but he didn't know what was going on down here.

"Anyway, we've already gone down here, let's go and have a look." Mu Qinghan said.

Meng Zhichu just hummed, and Mu Qinghan picked Meng Zhichu up again. Before Meng Zhi's initial reaction, he said that the space below looks narrow, and it is more convenient to hold.

He leaped and the pedal was slammed. Then the movement began. It suddenly feels light under your feet, but the only inconvenience is that it is cramped. And Mu Qinghan held Meng Zhichu horizontally, and carried a bow and arrows on his back, so he couldn't move, so he could only get very close.

Listening to the undulating breathing, Mu Qinghan smiled. Said bluntly: "Does Miss Meng feel familiar with this?" "Obviously mocking the daytime.

The girl smiled, sneering. There was no moonlight to see, but it was well heard. After all, the gears are quieter and descend slowly. I think the girl is tired, and she is not in the mood to talk with the "prodigal son". Maybe there are other thoughts.

The ladder descends very slowly, or the person who rides it thinks it is slow, or someone wants it to be slow. But whether it is slow or not, there is always a moment to stop, and just like that, one wall opens.

But the moment the walls opened, everything sped up.

They stopped the ladder on the third floor, where there were no rooms, only a room of guards.

When their walls were opened, all the guards pointed at them.

It was another bloody battle, but unfortunately the power of the birthmark had already been used at this time. Mu Qinghan's strength consumption is too great, and according to past experience, I am afraid that he will not be able to stimulate it again. He hugged Meng Zhichu and ran quickly.

But this room of soldiers, how can they run away?

He could only put down the man first, pulled out the iron-tired bow, and shot through a rain of arrows. But in the end, the strength consumption is too great, and it is not easy to pull the bow and arrow at this time, and the arrow shot out is not lethal.

Soon they were forced into a corner, and Mu Qinghan waved it wildly with an iron-tired bow. After a while, he retreated to the window.

Seeing that the left and right were getting closer and closer, Meng Zhichu's foot was injured again. Look at the lower windowsill and the sparkling Lixiu Lake outside the window. Resolutely carried the person and jumped into it. Hearing a loud thud, the two jumped into the lake.

It is known that the initial water is average, and it is constantly fluttering in the lake. But afraid of the cold arrows of the pursuers, Mu Qinghan could only pull her underwater.

It wasn't until he had swam a mile or two that he hooked her with one hand and swam into the distance.

I don't know how long it took, but I went ashore anyway. Meng knew that the initial water was not good, and after eating a few mouthfuls of the water of Lixiu Lake, he became unconscious.

Mu Qinghan put her lying down, seeing her like this, he knew that she was choking. Quickly press your chest, and after a while, the water is forced out. With a burst of coughing, Meng Zhichu blinked, muttering something in his mouth. He shook a small brain the size of a palm and said, "Where is this?" ”

When Mu Qinghan saw her wake up, he knew that she was worry-free. He recognized this place as a small island rich in medicinal herbs in Lixiu Lake, and looking at Meng Zhichu's appearance, he needed to quickly find a place to shelter from the wind, otherwise this body would be wet and cold, and it would not be good to catch the wind and cold.

Fortunately, although Mu Qinghan had never crossed the mountains in the north, the city of Xiyue had been explored early. He knew that on this island, there were some grass huts built by medicine pickers, so he carried Meng Zhichu to wherever he went. I found some firewood and grass left and right, although there was not much, but I finally built a small bonfire outside the house.

The fire is rising, and the thatched hut is bright, in fact, it is a house, and there are three walls and a roof, and the so-called wall is to paste the grass and mud and the ba. Meng Zhichu's night clothes were wet by the lake, and along the firelight, you could faintly see the jealous and graceful curves of the beauty.

Mu Qinghan didn't dare to look at this, he turned his head back, and wanted to see it again. Just back and forth, but it was a good activity for the neck. His series of small actions were all seen by Meng Zhichu, after all, except for the bonfire and cold wind, they only had each other, except for watching each other's expressions change, there seemed to be nothing to pass the time.

However, Meng Zhichu had a real reaction to Mu Qinghan in addition to his own smile. didn't say much, after all, thinking of a beauty like her, she has long been used to other people's eyes like this.
