Moreover, at that time, the valley lord gave Gu Xici the task, but he did not want to save Chu Jin, and did not say that he wanted Chu Jin to die. Since the valley lord did not have a clear request, it was not impossible for Chu Jin to live hard.

The prison was built ten miles away from the palace, and there was no need to pass through the palace to enter. This design made Gu Xici very satisfied, saving her the trouble of breaking into the palace at night.

Standing outside the prison, Gu Xici couldn't help frowning. The cells here are only low on one floor, and the walls next to them are built high, so it is not easy to easily climb in.

According to the time given by Qianmian Langjun today, those guards will change shifts at this point.

Gu Xici stood in the dark, staring at the soldiers guarding the door. She glanced at the straw placed in the corner of the wall, whose straw mat must have been thrown out, and with a turn of her eyes, she lit the straw bush with a fire breaker.

"How can there be a fire over there, go and see!" The guard immediately noticed the problem in the corner and immediately sent someone over to check.

Gu Xici stood in the dark, waiting for the man to turn around, and immediately knocked him out. Eyesight quickly ripped off his clothes and put them on himself.

"What's going on!" The voices of soldiers in the distance were heard, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer.

Gu Xici put on his hat, trotted over with his head down, and said in a low voice, "It's not a big deal, it's just a straw bush on fire, and I just extinguished it with water." ”

"Hey, this day, it's dry, you all have to be careful, in case the water goes out, it's not good!" The head of the guard explained.

Gu Xici nodded and followed behind the soldiers.

I heard a knock on the door of the cell, and the soldiers inside came out of the door.

"Good work!" The soldiers inside came out, and Gu Xici followed the soldiers who went in, rushing in.

The scene in the prison was bigger than he had imagined, because it was late at night, and everyone seemed to be sleepy.

Gu Xici slowly slowed down, and at the end of the row, she turned sideways and flashed into another side passage next to her.

And this side road is exactly the location marked by the thousand-faced Langjun on the map.

According to the location on the map in his mind, Gu Xici leaned against the wall and approached that place little by little.

It should be the corner in front!

Gu Xi said in his heart. At the thought of being able to find Chu Jin, I couldn't help but feel a trace of excitement in my heart.

She looked around to make sure there was no one before turning around to get into the corridor.

The map said that Chu Jin was locked at the end of that road. But after Gu Xici quickly ran in, he found that it was just a corridor inside, with only a wall at the end, and there was no cell at all.

How so!

Gu Xici narrowed his eyes, could it be that the map that Qianmian Langjun gave her was wrong? In her previous life, she was in the organization, and many missions allowed her to practice the ability to never forget, that map was not complicated, and this time it was the Chu family who wanted to rescue, Gu Xici specially memorized it a few more times. Unexpectedly, the situation in the prison was not the same as what Gu Xici saw.

She frowned, if there was a mistake in the map, she should have known it when she first came in, but it was exactly the same as the map layout all the way, how could there be a mistake here?

Isn't there a secret door hidden here?

Gu Xici thought about it, and stretched out his hand to test the wall, wanting to see if there was a mechanism.

On the wall at the end of the corridor, there is a candlestick, and the candle on it shines a little lonely.

Since it's a dead end, what does this candlestick do? Staring at the candlestick, Gu Xici tried to reach out and touch the candle.

You can move!

Gu Xici's eyes lit up, and he twisted the candlestick to the side, and sure enough, he only heard a "creak" sound, and the wall that was originally blocked in front of him turned away.

Gu Xici immediately entered sideways.

Behind the stone wall was a staircase that went straight down, and it was pitch black under the stairs, and Gu Xici could only touch the damp wall next to him and slowly walked down.

Is it difficult for Chu Jin to be locked up in such a place?

Thinking of Chu Jin's weak appearance and still suffering here, Gu Xici's pace couldn't help but speed up.

Through this long staircase, everything in front of you becomes bright.

"Ahem......"

In the empty cell, the familiar coughing sound was particularly distinct.

She followed the sound quickly, and saw the man, dressed in white, sitting on the straw in the cell.

Because of the dampness underground, his white clothes were already stained with a lot of black stains, and in the small cell, there was only one piece that could barely be shortened, barely worthy of a table, and on top of it was a bowl that had been broken. Chu Jin shrank in the corner, his body tightly huddled together......

"Chu Jin......" Gu Xici looked at all this and couldn't help but whisper his name.

As if telepathically, the man in the cell suddenly raised his head, and the eyes of the two men met.

Gu Xici choked in his throat, and he couldn't make any sound for a while.

Chu Jin was also surprised when he saw Gu Xici, and blinked his eyes to see if it was an illusion.

"Wait, I'll get you out right away!" Gu Xici's voice was a little hoarse, he took out the key from his clothes, and reached for the lock on the cell with a trembling hand.

"Why are you here? Hurry back! Chu Jin got up and wanted to walk to the door, but his legs were weak, and he immediately fell down as soon as he stood up. No, he could only look at Gu Xici from a distance and said sharply.

But Gu Xici didn't pay attention to what he said at all, opened the door by himself, rushed over directly, and helped him to do a good job.

"Ahem......" Chu Jin's every cough touched Gu Xici's heart, looking at his appearance, I don't know why my heart was also throbbing layer by layer. She patted Chu Jin on the back to relieve his discomfort at this time.

The temperature here was far less than outside, and there was a cold and eerie aura all around, and it was hard to imagine how so many celestial bodies could hold on to it inside.

"Let's go, I'll take you out." Gu Xici pursed his lips, put the person on top of him, wrapped his hands around his waist, and walked out.

"Okay." Chu Jin didn't ask a word, didn't ask why she was here, didn't ask how she had the key to the cell, as if he was sure in his heart that Gu Xici would not be bad for him, and let her pull herself out.

Follow the path you came from and go back up to the end of the stairs.

The wall had been restored, and just now Gu Xici glanced at the raised stone on the wall here, stretched out his hand to cover the stone, and listened carefully to the sound outside.

All the guards seemed to be in their positions, and there was a sound of conversation outside the wall.

It looks like I want to go out and wait until the next shift for a change of guard.

Gu Xici helped Chu Jin to the side, took off his clothes, put them on the ground, grabbed Chu Jin, and asked him to sit down.

Chu Jin took Gu Xici's hand, suddenly exerted strength in his hand, and asked in a low voice, "Are you Gu Xici?" ”

Gu Xici was taken aback by Chu Jin's question, and subconsciously looked at him.

Neither of them spoke in the darkness.

Just when Chu Jin had given up waiting for an answer, he only heard Gu Xici say softly: "I am." ”

Gu Xici didn't know if Chu Jin had seen her strangeness, but she didn't plan to tell Chu Jin her identity. It's not because I don't want to, but I feel that her identity is not only of no benefit to Chu Jin, but may also cause him other problems.

Moreover, from the day she crossed over, she was Gu Xi's resignation, and she didn't know anything else, so she insisted on pressing this name on her head, how innocent.

The corners of Chu Jin's mouth curled slightly, and he looked at Gu Xici and said, "En, you are." ”

Gu Xici seemed to hear the ridicule in his tone, dissatisfied with his perfunctory answer, and wanted to refute and cover it up, but he didn't want Chu Jin to continue: "No matter who you are, in my heart, you are Gu Xici." ”

Gu Xici was stunned, looked at Chu Jin, and saw the trust and understanding in his eyes through the faint light coming from the crack in the door.

"You, don't you ask me why I'm here?" Gu Xici asked hesitantly, "Aren't you afraid that I'm here to kill you?" ”

Chu Jin couldn't help but laugh out loud when he said something, but he couldn't help but cough again, "You want to kill me?" And you went to such lengths to come so far to kill me, can I understand that this is your deep love and hatred? ”

The smile on Chu Jin's face showed that what he said was not a joke, and Gu Xici couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Yes, although Chu Jin has always looked weak, but he can survive in the palace for so long without a background, how can he not be a human spirit in the background? He just disdains to fight with his brothers, and if he really wants to compare, Chu Xun and the crown prince may not be his opponents.

However, he is so shrewd, how could he capsize in the gutter this time?

"Do you want to repent of your marriage, but you can't think of a better way, so they let them get you back?"

"No, I have always really wanted you to be my Princess Zhao, from beginning to end, there is no regret."

"So, how did you get here?" Chu Jin's words made Gu Xici a little embarrassed, and he didn't dare to look at him sideways.

Chu Jin acted as if he hadn't seen it, and then said, "Do you remember that at the state banquet, they gave me a Yue Lizhu Pearl? ”

Gu Xici thought for a moment and nodded.

"In the eyes of the Yue Liguo people, this pearl is the supreme treasure, and only the royal family deserves to have it." Chu Jin said slowly.

"Then its status is comparable to the heirloom jade seal!" Gu Xici said.

Chu Jin smiled and nodded, "It is a symbol of the royal family in the Yue Leaving Country." The royal family of the Yue Yue Kingdom kept it in their bedrooms, and at night, it spontaneously glowed with a yellowish light, which could be used as a substitute for candle lighting. But they didn't know that this stone with yellow light actually contained a poison hidden in it. This kind of stone is put in the bedroom for a few years, and the people who live in the house will become weird, some of them have strange things growing on their bodies, and they have heard that the pregnant palace concubine lives in this kind of stone house, and the fetus born will become very weird, some have no hands and some have more than one hand. ”

Hearing Chu Jin say this, Gu Xici frowned. This should be modern radiation, the so-called glowing stone, there should be radioactive substances inside, a person living in a radiant house all day long, there will definitely be an accident.

"Then in that case, why should the royal family that has left the country still regard it as a treasure?" Gu Xi was puzzled.

"Because the orthodox royal family has a natural immunity to this." Chu Jin said.

That should be the survival of the fittest. If the palace concubine can give birth to a healthy child in such a house, the child will naturally have such antibodies in her body, and then pass it on from generation to generation.

"I didn't think you knew so much!" Gu Xici raised his eyebrows, "Since you know everything, why did you still accept that stone?" Shouldn't it be better to throw it away sooner? ”

"But I only knew when I got here and listened to them......" Chu Jin spread his hands helplessly, with a look of grievance on his face.

Gu Xici squinted at Chu Jin, this man must have this secret that he didn't know. But that's it, both of them have little secrets hidden in their hearts, so offset them!

Gu Xici stood against the wall, suddenly nervous, Chu Jin looked back at her and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Someone's coming!" Gu Xici squatted down, looking through the thin stone crack, trying to see what was happening outside.

A group of chaotic footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Gu Xici couldn't care about it so much, so he pulled up Chu Jin, who was sitting on the ground, and said in a low voice: "Hurry up!" ”

Chu Jin immediately got up when he heard this, although he was unwell, he didn't want to drag Gu Xici's hind legs, and walked quickly behind her.

There was only one cell under the stairs where Chu Jin was held, and the room that could be seen at a glance could not be covered at all.

"Go back to prison!" Gu Xici looked around, there was nowhere to escape, but the noise outside was getting louder and louder.

"No, I'm going to come with you!" Whenever a person comes in, he can see Gu Xici at first sight, and there is no way to do it. He absolutely couldn't let Gu Xiqi take risks alone.

Gu Xici looked at him, gritted her teeth, and the two hid in the prison together, looking around to see if there was a place for her to hide.

The voices outside were getting louder and louder, and I only heard the head of the guard shouting: "You bunch of waste, don't you know that there is one less person next to you!" I raised you for nothing! ”

Listening to his voice, it seemed that he was about to open the door of this tunnel in the next second and come towards them.

That's it! Gu Xici walked around the cell, but couldn't find a place to hide, so she knocked the wall next to her in anger.

"Brush the ......" Suddenly countless wall ashes fell from the top, causing Gu Xici to cough dryly.

She looked at the dusty wall with some surprise, and slammed her hand into the wall again.

"Come on, it's empty behind this wall!" Gu Xici was overjoyed, and immediately pulled Chu Jin over, pushed hard against the wall, and a secret door opened in between, "Come in!" ”

Gu Xici pushed Chu Jin inside, and the moment she opened the door, the people above had already arrived here, looked at the two of them, and immediately rushed over.

"Catch her!"

The soldiers rushed towards her, Gu Xici held a handful of lime in his hand, sprinkled it in their faces, and one sideways, followed behind the wall.

The secret door closed instantly.

A group of soldiers looked at the two people who suddenly went out, with a look of surprise on their faces. They immediately rushed to the edge of the wall, trying to open the door the way they had just done, but when they pushed the door, a lot of lime fell from their heads.

There were more and more limes, and one of the soldiers raised his head, looked at the top of their heads, and immediately pulled the person next to him and said in a trembling voice: "Look, ah, this place is going to collapse!" ”

Chu Jin and Gu Xici, who had just escaped, were relieved, only to feel a shaking around them, and then heard someone shouting outside.

Gu Xiqi subconsciously pulled Chu Jin, and the two hurriedly ran forward, before they could run a few steps, suddenly where they were standing, several big stones fell from the sky, smashing out a few nests on the ground.
