Chapter 389: Falling into the Dark River
Although the money here is ownerless, it is also a royal thing in the end, and even if those guards have the courage, they dare not do it under the nose of the prince.
The prince walked in a hurry, not squinting along the way, these riches that others could not see in their lifetime, in his eyes were just some yellow and white vulgar things, where was more important than the tiger talisman, as long as he got the tiger talisman, he would be able to rightfully succeed to the throne, and when the time came, the whole world would be his.
As long as he thought of the scene of his ascension and the surrender of all the people, the prince couldn't help but feel hot in his heart, and even couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.
Perhaps the Queen Mother didn't expect them to be able to break through the many mechanisms, and when they came here, there was no protection around the tiger talisman, and it was placed in a stone box upright.
The prince didn't think much about it, he reached out and picked up the tiger talisman, only to hear a almost inaudible click, the moment the tiger talisman was picked up, many openings were removed on the wall of the secret room, and before the prince could react, a group of poisonous insects flew out of those openings, and the overwhelming almost even the light of the ever-bright lamp was covered, and it was dense enough to make people's scalp have goosebumps.
"Not good! It's a corpse bug! Mu Zhufeng was well-informed, and immediately exclaimed. When he was marching and fighting in the past, he was forced into a deep mountain and old forest by the enemy. At that time, they stumbled into a cave, and although they were able to avoid the pursuit of the enemy, they almost lost their lives there.
At that time, they encountered corpse insects, and there were many fewer corpse insects at that time, only less than one-tenth of this, but these small insects were able to burrow into people's skin, corroding the skin and flesh little by little, and finally broke out of the body, leaving only a pair of white bones. It's so fast that there's no chance of treatment.
When they escaped, there were only a few people left in the army of thousands of people, which shows the horror of the corpse insects.
Although the prince didn't know the power of the corpse worm, his instinct made him run wildly behind him, and while running, he also pulled the guards around him, trying to resist for a moment.
The terrible screams of the guards resounded throughout the secret room, and the prince was so frightened that he didn't even dare to turn his head. Even the tiger talisman in his hand couldn't hold it steadily, and it fell to the ground with a thud.
Chi Wan quickly pounced and grabbed the tiger talisman, and then rolled to the side. Since this is the end of the secret room, according to the character of the royal people, there will definitely be another way, just now when she was squatting on the ground, she found that there is a flowing dark river on the side, the corpses are afraid of water, but there is a way to live.
Mu Zhufeng has been paying attention to Chi Wan's every move, and when the corpse insect appeared, he ran to her side, and the moment Chi Wan jumped into the dark river, he jumped down without thinking.
The water in the dark river was turbulent, Chi Wan held her breath, and with the ups and downs of the water, just when she was about to lose it, a point of light finally appeared in front of her, and she swam forward desperately, breaking through the water.
It is surrounded by a circle of stone walls, and through the gaps, you can faintly see the rockery trees outside, which looks like the imperial garden of the Imperial Palace. After knowing that she had come out, Chi Wan breathed a long sigh of relief and swam to the shore to rest.
At this time, a series of blisters suddenly appeared on the surface of the water, and Chi Wan subconsciously picked up a piece of gravel beside her, her fingertips glowing with a faint white color because of nervousness.
If it was the prince who came out, she would definitely smash the other party's head without hesitation.
There was an uproar, when Mu Zhufeng surfaced, he saw such a scene, Chi Wan held the stone, and Mu Zhufeng stared at Mu Zhufeng for a long time, and finally couldn't hold back the dead hand, and put down his arm in frustration.
Mu Zhufeng swam up with difficulty, and at this time, the previous sword wound was faintly painful, making his face look a little pale. Chi Wan looked at it coldly, and didn't think about helping it. Fortunately, Mu Zhufeng didn't care, and only relied on the strength of his left arm to support himself on the boulder on the side.
He gasped violently, cold sweat slid down his forehead, reflecting his bloodless face, as if he was about to turn his back on his breath.
Chi Wan also sensed that something was wrong at this time, hesitated for a long time, and finally relented and prevailed.
"What's wrong with you?" She looked at Mu Zhufeng condescendingly, and asked nonchalantly.
Mu Zhufeng smiled bitterly, and lifted his sleeves with difficulty, the arrow wound on it was already a little white after being soaked in the river, Chi Wan's pupils contracted slightly, and he didn't care about the position between the two, and squatted down beside him, "Are you injured?" ”
This injury doesn't look like a new injury, thinking that Mu Zhufeng pulled himself to avoid the rain of arrows before, could it be that this injury was left at that time?
Thinking of this, Chi Wan's expression was a little complicated, this person actually endured it silently for so long, if it wasn't for the aggravation of his injuries, would he never let himself know?
Chi Wan pursed her lips tightly and pulled Mu Zhufeng's arm. The warm touch made Mu Zhufeng shrink subconsciously, but he was glared at by Chi Wan unhappily, "Don't move!" Do you still want your arm? ”
Although his words were not polite at all, Mu Zhufeng still heard the other party's concern, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and obediently let Chi Wan check his injuries.
"Your wound is not deep, and there is no quenching poison on the arrow, originally you only need to smear some gold sore medicine, but after being soaked in this lake, the wound is somewhat rotten, and you must rip off the carrion......" Speaking of this, Chi Wan hesitated, although she had gold sore medicine on her body, but there was no numbness boiling, but if this injury was not treated in time, it was very likely to leave a dark disease.
"You do it, I can stand it." Mu Zhufeng saw that Chi Wan wanted to speak and stopped, and smiled indifferently.
Hearing this, Chi Wan was stunned for a moment, and when she met the other party's gentle eyes, she couldn't help but be a little flustered, she coughed dryly, hiding her embarrassment.
Fortunately, Chi Wan brought a dagger with her when she entered the palace, which was originally to prevent her identity from being exposed, but she didn't expect it to come in handy at this time.
She pulled out her dagger and glanced deeply at Mu Zhufeng. The sharp blade reflected the cold light, but Mu Zhufeng did not have the slightest fear, just closed his eyes calmly.
Chi Wan froze her mind and plunged the dagger into the carrion inch by inch.
It was just a small wound, but Chi Wan was sweating profusely, but it was Mu Zhufeng, as if he was fine, and he didn't even frown. If it weren't for his pale face, I would have thought that he was not the one who was hurt.
After the carrion was removed, Chi Wan breathed a sigh of relief, sprinkled with gold sore medicine, and wrapped it in gauze.
Fortunately, she put the medicine and gauze in a cowhide bag, and she was not wet by the water in the dark river, otherwise she really didn't know what to do.
On the other side, the prince relied on the resistance of the guards, but he barely escaped, looking at the remaining guards around him, a trace of gloom flashed in the prince's eyes.
These are the elites he selected thousands of times, and most of them went at once, if the tiger talisman was obtained, it would be fine, but he also lost the tiger talisman.
The more the prince thought about it, the more angry he became, and he broke into the Qianqing Palace angrily. Although the queen mother was under house arrest by the prince, she also saw the emperor, knowing that although the other party seemed to be sick and weak, she did not worry about her life, and her heart suddenly let go of more than half of it, and she was feeding the emperor tonic soup at this time, and when she saw the prince coming in, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
She really didn't expect that the other party would be able to come back unscathed when she entered that secret room.
"Old immortal, did you mean it!" The crown prince grabbed the queen mother's neck violently, and his face was almost hideous.
The air in her lungs was squeezed, the Queen Mother's face turned red, and her arms waved wildly, trying to get rid of the shackles of the prince. Seeing that the Queen Mother's consciousness began to blur, her eyes rolled white, and even her tongue was unconsciously spit out, the prince let go of his hand slightly and threw the Queen Mother to the side.
With a bang, the old body slammed into the mahogany table next to it like a rag doll, sweeping the tea set on the table to the ground.
At this time, the Queen Mother couldn't care about the hurt place, she covered her neck in embarrassment, panting uncontrollably, and her eyes were full of fear for the rest of her life.
It took a while for her to turn her gaze to the crown prince. Because the prince came out as soon as he came out, he didn't clean himself up, his hair was scattered, and there was dirt on his clothes that he didn't know where to rub, which looked particularly embarrassing.
At a glance, the Queen Mother knew that although the other party had picked up a life, it was estimated that she had also suffered a lot of crimes.
"Your life is really big." She spat viciously at the prince, her eyes full of hatred.
"You know what's going on!" The prince's eyes were scarlet, like an enraged beast, and he kicked the queen mother fiercely, "Say! Where is the other exit from the secret room! ”
Although he was only concerned about fleeing for his life at that time, he also saw Chi Wan's move to roll into the dark river, and he didn't react at that time, but he also thought about it at this time. Since the Queen Mother will hide the tiger talisman there, it will definitely not be a mortal ending, and there must be a way of life that he has not discovered.
Thinking of the mechanism that Chi Wan broke along the way, that dark river must be the way to live.
The prince looked at the Queen Mother lying on the ground, and a touch of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, such a dangerous game, the other party really wanted him to die.
The Queen Mother covered her stomach and groaned in pain, but her mouth was uncompromising, "Even if you kill me, I don't know." It was left by the ancestors of the past generations, so that future generations could have a place of refuge when they were in danger. Over the years, no one knows about the other exit. I put the tiger talisman there, and I never thought about getting it back. ”
Although the prince knew that the Queen Mother hated him, he had grown up beside her since he was a child, and he knew quite well about her expression, and knew that the other party was not lying, and his face suddenly sank.
