Chapter 32: Change
The day soon came to the appointed time, Qi Niang had already written down the time of night guards and patrol shifts at each point of the Qianji Building, if there was no problem on Yeluya's side, they should go out of the city very smoothly. But somehow, she was a little uneasy, and came to the City God Temple with inexplicable apprehension, her brows stretched slightly. Jerexia went to the appointment on time.
"You're here, without further ado, let's go." Qi Niang took Yeluya through the forest from the path behind the City God Temple.
The woods in the dead of night were surrounded by thick fog, and sometimes there were crows chirping, and the grass was rustling, and at first I thought it was a snake, but I saw a wild cat frightened by the sound of footsteps scurrying through the grass beside me, and on the periphery of the forest, it seemed that there had been a mass grave, and I saw a few deserted graves, and the broken tombstones stood crookedly. No wonder the forest is windy and windy, and the trails are not as often walked by. However, Qi Niang doesn't seem to be a stranger to this place, she walks quickly in front of her, and her eyes don't squint.
Yeluya hadn't said a word since they met, he looked at Qi Niang's back, and didn't know what he was thinking.
After walking for a while, Qi Niang stopped, turned around and said: "Ready to arrive, this is the rear of the Thousand Machine Building, although there are no people at this point, but we still have to be careful." ”
Yeluya didn't say a word, Qi Niang found that his eyes were a little cold under the dark curtain, she suppressed the restless emotions in her heart, and continued to take steps.
Behind him, Yeluya's somewhat ethereal voice came: "Do you really believe me so much?" ”
Qi Niang's footsteps did not stop, and she said as she walked: "Then can you make me believe?" There was no answer behind him. Qi Niang's heart began to beat wildly.
yes, why do you believe in him so much? Is it just because the other party is his own brother? But Yeluya didn't know who he was. It's not that she hasn't thought about the risks of bringing him here, maybe she'll force herself into a place of no return, or maybe the two of them will be able to get out of the city smoothly, but this is a road of no return, and if you step in, you can't turn back.
Qi Niang took Yeluya to avoid the mechanism hidden in the dark, and then walked out of the forest, in front of a wilderness, there were few lights in the distance, and a few night guards were patrolling.
Qi Niang took a deep breath, "Before they find out about us, let's go out of the city through the secret passage." She prayed in her heart, hoping that everything would go well.
Yeluya grabbed his wrist with great strength, and Qi Niang's heart sank suddenly.
Several fierce winds with murderous aura struck, a few black shadows flashed in the woods, and several people wearing masks surrounded Qi Niang and Yeluya in the middle, and one of them took off the mask on his face, revealing a gorgeous and peerless face.
"Ye Qiniang, you didn't expect that you would also be followed, if it weren't for Ah Ya, we didn't expect that there would be another way in Qianjilou." The woman's voice is charming, and she calls Yeluya Aya, which shows that the two have a close relationship.
Qi Niang couldn't help but glared at Yeluya, although she had expected this, she still had a glimmer of hope for Yeluya, and she said a little sadly: "You are really lying to me." ”
Yeluya frowned, and her voice was calm, "I didn't lie to you, they didn't bring them to me." Then he looked at the people and pulled Qi Niang to his side.
Li Qiushuang glared at Ye Luya and took Qi Niang's hand, and shouted angrily: "Since you already know the location of Qianji Tower, it's useless for Ye Qi Niang to keep it, kill her for me!" ”
Several people attacked Qi Niang, and the mechanism set up in the forest was triggered in an instant, and several huge iron chains emerged from the dirt like giant snakes, and their voices alarmed the night guards in the distance.
Under the siege of several people and the obstruction of the organs, Qi Niang was a little powerless, seeing that a sword blade was approaching her, and suddenly a figure appeared in front of her, and Yeluya actually blocked a sword for herself.
"Where's the secret passage? Walk! Yeluya used his body to block in front of Qi Niang, and his voice became very deep at this moment.
"Follow me!" After Qi Niang finished speaking, she pulled Yeluya and ran, and then she didn't know what mechanism she stepped on, and the two of them quickly sank in a clearing. When the people on the ground chased after them, they couldn't find any traces.
Qi Niang's heart began to beat wildly again, did they successfully escape? She exposed the location of Qianjilou, and she didn't know how angry Bian Che would be, but what worried her was not this, she was afraid that this would bring more crises to Qianjilou with her actions.
The sound of Yeluya's breathing was a little heavy in the dim secret passage, and Qi Niang stopped and found that Yeluya was holding one hand over her shoulder, and there were mottled blood stains under their feet, extending all the way backwards. Jeluya is wounded! It's the time when you just blocked a sword for yourself!
Qi Niang hurriedly went to check Ye Luya's shoulder.
Before she could see clearly, Yeluya stopped her, "Leave me alone, let's go quickly, the night guard of Qianjilou is coming!" ”
Qi Niang knew that it was powerful, so she hurriedly grabbed Yeluya's other arm and continued to run forward.
Out of the secret road, I saw two horses tied to the tree not far away, Qi Niang had already prepared two horses, the two turned over, Qi Niang was about to go outside the city, but Yeluya stopped her and said: "Go back to the city!" ”
"Why?! We're finally getting out! Qi Niang's eyes couldn't help but widen.
"Do you want them to follow my blood all the way after us? Go back to the city first! Go your separate ways! "Yeluya has a tough attitude.
"I'm gone, what are you going to do? You're hurt, they won't let you go back! Qi Niang clenched her fists tightly, and her nails were embedded in the flesh. How could she rest assured that he would go back alone?
Yeluya smiled at himself with relief, not his usual evil spirit, but more sincere, "You should be worried about yourself now, now those people from the Tianxuan Sect should have fallen into the trap of your Thousand Machine Tower, and it is estimated that they have died in the hands of the night guards." At most, I'll be a little injured when I go back, and the people of the Tianxuan Sect won't suspect me. If you're discovered by the night guards, you're dead. Go back to the Jin family before they find out you're missing. Don't worry about me, I won't let the people of Qianjilou catch up, I have a way to get rid of them. ”
Qi Niang looked at him, was silent for a moment, and conveniently untied the bandage on her wrist and wrapped it around Yeluya's injured shoulder.
Yeluya was slightly stunned at first, and then looked at her deeply.
"Although it can't completely stop the bleeding, it can be useful, so be careful." Qi Niang gritted her teeth, and then kicked the dust away.
When she turned to leave, Yeluya's expression showed a hint of pain, he glanced over his shoulder, and fled in the other direction on his horse.
Qi Niang put the horse down halfway, returned to the Jin family courtyard as usual, and entered the house, she quickly took off her clothes and stepped into the bathtub that had already been filled with bath water. She couldn't help but exhale a sigh of relief, but fortunately, the water was still warm. Before going out at night, in order to prevent accidents in the middle, she had people boil hot water and put it in the bathtub in advance.
In the warm mist, Qi Niang's restless heart gradually calmed down.
Not long after, the door was pushed open forcefully, and the look of anger on Bian Che's face immediately turned into astonishment after seeing the scene inside. The room was full of smoke and steaming heat, the white cat was sleeping soundly on the table, the air was wafting with the fragrance of bathing, and the beautiful woman was soaking naked in the bathtub. Seeing someone break in, she subconsciously covered her chest and looked at the door in surprise.
The face, which was slightly flushed with heat, became vivid under the expression of shock and panic, her exposed skin was as white and clear as jade, and a few strands of silky wet hair stuck to her slender neck and chest, just covering the spring light on her chest. Bian Che felt that his heartbeat seemed to drop, and he quickly turned around and said, "I, I didn't know you were taking a shower...... and quickly closed the door.
When I came to the kitchen, I happened to see a little maid boiling water, Bian Che stepped forward, and the little maid hurriedly got up in a panic and owed to herself, "I've seen Er Shao, do you have any instructions for Er Shao so late?" ”
There was no emotion in Bian Che's eyes, he looked at the pot of hot water that had not yet boiled, and asked, "Are you responsible for the hot water used for bathing in the courtyard?" ”
The maid was a little confused, and replied in a daze: "Hui Ershao, yes, yes." ”
"What about Qi Niang, are you well prepared?"
"Huh? Qi Niang had already ordered it, and told me to send it directly to her room after I burned it! ”
"yes, got it." Bian Che nodded, and then left, leaving the little maid at a loss.
Bian Che stood on the verandah, raised his hand and pressed his brow, annoyed by the impulse just now. He thought that Qi Niang had really escaped, and when he heard the news that someone had broken into the secret passage of Qianji Building but did not see her, his heart jumped, and he had never been so uneasy. The moment he learned that she was very likely to have escaped from the city, Bian Che didn't expect that he would be so panicked and angry, and even a little overwhelmed, and hurriedly rushed back to see if she was still there. Since when did Qi Niang's existence become so important to him? It is important to focus on finding her, and forgetting to pursue her private meeting with Yeluya and her deception of herself.
Yu Mingchen rushed to the Jin family's courtyard and searched for a long time, only to see Bian Che standing in the pavilion with his hands in his hands, and he hurriedly ran over to report the situation to Bian Che.
"Those Tianxuan Sect people died, but one woman escaped." Yu Mingchen lowered his head and waited for Bian Che to speak.
He thought that what he was waiting for was Bian Che's thunderous rage, or the punishment of Qi Niang, but Bian Che only left one sentence: "Reopen the mechanism in the secret passage, don't change the mechanism of the Forest of Death for the time being, I think it won't be long before the people of the Tianxuan Sect will come." I'm waiting for them in the Thousand Machine Building. ”
"Then, what should Qi Niang do?" Yu Mingchen couldn't help but ask.
"Disposition? Who said I'm going to dispose of her? She also did a good deed for me and lured the people of the Tianxuan Sect out, otherwise they would still be playing hide and seek with me now! Do you think I should reward her with something? Bian Che's thin lips hooked, and the smile was unknown.
Yu Mingchen didn't know what he meant, for fear that he was hiding a knife in his smile, so he was a little worried: "But Qi Niang...... Wouldn't it be too risky for the landlord to do this? So she ......"
Bian Che snorted, his eyes drifted to other places, like a sulking child, "I can't help her, she thinks I'm not good enough for her, I go out to have a private meeting with a man, and I want to run away." ”
Yu Mingchen held back his laughter and said seriously: "What the landlord said is very true, then, how about the landlord reward Qi Niang with the Hua Dance last time?" Haven't you sent it out yet? ”
Bian Che pondered for a while and frowned, "Then you take it to her, and by the way, ask her to go back to Qianji Building immediately tomorrow morning." ”
"Well, since the landlord is back, why don't you send it yourself?"
Bian Che glanced at him, and Yu Mingchen suddenly felt a chill on his face, and immediately closed his mouth in amusement. However, Bian Che didn't ask him to deliver the sword again.
