Chapter 47: The Underground Palace (7)
The brocade guards clenched their sabers again and protected Rukawa Kaede in the center, but this time, Rukawa Kaede, who had always been able to speak well, didn't say anything more, he just smiled bitterly.
Liuchuan Mingyue is his second uncle and Ruchuan Yun's father, he has always been gentle and elegant, and he is a good person in the hearts of him and many people, but he didn't expect him to be involved in this matter, to assassinate an innocent girl, even if she is the princess of the previous dynasty? No one has done anything, just because they were born in the flower family, are they going to die?
He felt powerless for a while, he didn't know how to proceed, should he hold the elders responsible? Not to mention whether he has that power or not, at least, in their eyes, there is nothing wrong with this matter, just because her surname is Hua, so she has to die!
But the justice in his heart does not allow him to give up like this, even if they are his elders, even if they are the prince and the emperor! So, he thought about it for a long time and finally made a promise.
"I, Liuchuan Feng, swear here: If I can escape this time, I will definitely seek justice for your princess Yaoyao, so that she will not die in vain, let her restore her innocence, and be buried in their Huajia Imperial Mausoleum!"
"Humph! Do you think I'm going to believe you? Murong Feng said coldly.
"I believe him." Hu Lai made a statement.
Rukawa Kaede ignored them, and said to himself: "I don't need your trust, I will naturally do things according to my conscience, not to win your trust, otherwise, I won't keep letting my men investigate this case!" ”
"That's a nice thing to say, but how do you go and get justice for her? They are all your elders, and they are your emperors and princes, are you capable? Murong Feng believed his words a little, but he didn't believe in his ability.
"That's my business, you don't have to worry about it. I believe that my ability has been taught by Your Excellency in Northern City. Rukawa Kaede replied lightly.
"Humph! That's just that I underestimated you too much, and I was careless. Murong Feng's face was a little unbearable, and he hurriedly explained.
Ruchuan Kaede no longer paid attention to him, but turned around, looked at No. 1, and asked lightly: "Great monk, so far, don't you plan to tell the secret of this place and let everyone get out of here?" ”
"That's it, how long are you going to suffer, since you are using this place as a long-term work place, I don't believe you will be trapped here, even if the gate is sealed, you must know how to escape!" Murong Feng then shouted affirmatively.
Unmoved, Number One replied, "I don't know what you're talking about, if I knew the secret exit of the escape, would I have been here with you for so long?" ”
Everyone felt that he had a point, and fell silent again, and despair slowly rose in the hearts of everyone again.
"No, you must know something, it's just a deliberate delay, maybe you want to kill me with your own hands when we can't stand it anymore before you go out?" Rukawa Kaede broke the silence again.
"Oh? Is it? Number One replied expressionlessly.
"Then let's all survive and see if you, the great monk, can survive us all!" Rukawa Kaede continued.
"Great monk, don't pretend anymore, say it quickly, it's good for everyone, do you really think that you can survive us young people at this age?" , Murong Feng's tone was gentle and he persuaded lightly.
"There is no exit, you all die!"
When Number One spoke again, he was silent, clasped his hands on his chest, and meditated cross-legged on the spot, as if he had made up his mind that he would not say anything more.
However, just when everyone was shrouded in despair, the turning point came, and the hope of life returned to their hearts again, making them extremely happy.
Voices were heard from the main burial chamber.
"My lord, here we are!"
It was Gan Lin's excited voice that suddenly emerged from the collapsed platform.
Hearing this familiar voice, Rukawa Kaede also felt an inexplicable sense of happiness and joy, and he hurriedly walked over, but when he saw the mercury in that place, he panicked instantly, and shouted anxiously: "Be careful that this is mercury!" Don't let it get into your mouth or nose, in short, don't inhale it! ”
Except for the few brocade guards who dug through this thin floor at the beginning, they drank a few sips of mercury, and the people behind heard Rukawa Kaede's loud reminder before they could come up, so they closed their mouths and noses tightly and climbed up.
At this time, Murong Feng in the main hall also heard a familiar voice, and he was overjoyed, he knew that this was no longer a Jedi!
On the other side, the number one who was meditating and resting, panicked, he knew that someone had come in through that secret exit, and he had thought about going over to assassinate Rukawa Kaede again, but now everyone's eyes were almost on each other, and he had no chance of winning, so he gave up this idea, still meditated with his eyes closed, ignoring it, and when they asked, they just blindly denied it.
"How did you get in from the outside? How did you get here? Rukawa Kaede was extremely excited, and patted Gan Lin's fragrant shoulder heavily.
"Ah, it hurts, sir." Gan Lin rubbed his shoulders resentfully.
"Haha, I'm sorry, I'm so happy I forgot about it."
"It's all thanks to this professional who took us all the way from the underground river, climbing on the cliffs, and groping our way through a cave halfway up the mountainside."
"Awesome, this professional, you report your name, I will promote you."
"My lord, my name is Li Chunfeng."
"Okay, I remember, I'll reward you well when I go back, now the matter here is not over, don't let your guard down!" Rukawa Kaede reminded again that he saw that many people had begun to careless, which was by no means good news.
"Yes, my subordinates understand!" When everyone came back to their senses, they remembered that there were still two parties here, and by the way, there was at least one more outside the door.
Returning to the main hall again, Rukawa Kaede was really confident this time, calm and composed, with a happy face, he smiled and said triumphantly: "I said it a long time ago, there must be an escape place here, how about it, am I powerful?" ”
"Amazing, amazing."
The brocade guards naturally didn't make their big guys ugly, and they complimented them one after another, and even the warriors of the Northern Regions had some admiration, but they didn't say it.
"Great monk, don't pretend to be dead, what else do you have to say now?" Rukawa Kaede asked.
"I don't know." Number One replied lightly.
"Do you know where dead ducks are the hardest?" Rukawa Kaede asked everyone.
"Mouth, of course!" And they answered,
"Hahaha......"
Almost everyone in the audience burst into laughter, making No. 1 so angry that he almost didn't break his mouth and scolded.
After a joking, the atmosphere went from despair to pleasantness.
"Long time no see."
Murong Feng smiled at Gan Lin and greeted him politely, he knew that the other party had been busy with Ah Yao's affairs, and he also knew their deep friendship, so he still had a good impression of her.
"Long time no see." Gan Lin also returned a salute to show respect.
"A-Yao has a good sister like you, I think she can be blind under Jiuquan."
"You are also a very good man, a loving and righteous husband, she should be blinded."
"Okay, don't say it, I'm going to cry." Rukawa Kaede interrupted them and said in a strange manner, causing another commotion among the brocade guards.
"Murong Feng, this time I will let you go, in return for your kindness last time! But next time, I won't be soft! ”
"Humph! You'd better not fall into my hands next time! Murong Feng was-for-tat, and his momentum was not inferior at all.
"Let's go!"
After saying that, Rukawa Kaede led them down the passage and didn't care about them in the main hall anymore.
And Murong Feng didn't interrupt and attack them in the past, that would be tantamount to looking for death! After they waited for Rukawa Kaede and his party to walk away, they also began to slowly leave from the corridor.
In the end, there was only one person left here, and they didn't mean to kill him, they didn't want to make a fuss, after all, he was not easy to kill, and they themselves were seriously injured, and they were a burden on the team, which was the main reason why they didn't do anything to him.
Of course, Number One also left this burial chamber after they were all gone, or would he stay here and die? But he was never heard from, he was nowhere to be found, and he never returned to the tomb.
"My lord, where are we going now?" Walking on the road, Gan Lin asked.
"Back to the tomb, I'm going to see who wants to kill me!" Rukawa Kaede replied murderously.
"And what if they're all gone?"
"Then they're lucky."
"Okay."
So a group of people, under the leadership of Li Chunfeng, returned to the tomb again, this time they did not take any fork in the road, although they also turned around, but it did not take much time to come to the core of the tomb.
"By the way, why did you come down?" While walking through the tomb, Rukawa Kaede asked the question again.
"We were forced down, and there was a group of robbers, who came prepared, and suddenly attacked us, resulting in the loss of a dozen of us!" Gan Lin replied angrily.
"Robbers? Coming prepared? And let us lose a dozen elites and force you down the tomb? ”
"Yes, they are all ragged, and they look like bandits, but their movements and martial arts and archery skills seem to have been professionally trained, very powerful, and the leader is a masked man, I suspect that he is the one who instructed that grandson to deceive us in the first place."
"It's strange, if they were robbers, why did they come to the desolate ancient temple in the middle of the night? And come prepared, we don't have any money, but there are many sharp embroidered spring knives, as long as normal villains can't run when they see us, they dare to take the initiative to find trouble? What are they here for? There is also the leader wearing a mask, are you afraid that you will recognize it? ”
Rukawa Kaede asked questions, but also pointed out the doubts, so that everyone could help analyze.
"Could it be that they are just martial arts masters disguised as robbers, and they are only here to kill people?" Some people have come up with their own ideas.
"Yes, very likely." Rukawa Kaede applauded affirmatively.
"By the way, they also named you by name." It was added.
"Then it's clear, this group of people is here for me, but why are they causing so much trouble? He is disguised as a robber and masked, making it mysterious. ”
"Maybe they are too careful, after all, your lordship is powerful, but you are not so easy to kill, and when the time comes, they are afraid that they will be retaliated against by us if they reveal their identity."
"Yes, it's very likely, I just can't figure it out, who is it?"
"Could they have locked the door to that hall?" Gan Lin asked.
"Probably not, they didn't come down until after you, and we were almost all in the hall at that time, and there was a time conflict." Rukawa Kaede replied.
"That means that there is a second force here, they have been secretly following the adults, and when you are not paying attention, they suddenly let go of the stone gate and want to trap you!"
"It's so head-scratching, why do you want to kill me?" Rukawa complained bitterly, and then reminded everyone, "Everyone be careful, I'm afraid there are two enemies here, don't be careless and negligent, fall for the tricks of the enemy in the dark!" ”
"Yes, sir." The crowd replied.
Time flew by as they spoke, and they had come to the front of the main hall, where the heavy stone door was tightly closed and a thick iron chain was locked on it.
